Through Heaven and Earth, one legend was known by all.

The world was cursed.

When Almighty God entrusted his sacred Tree of Knowledge to humanity, they, driven by greed, betrayed 'His' trust.

Humanity cut the tree in half, destroying the balance of 'His' creation.

In response to their sin, the Almighty God left behind a seed of curse.

From this seed arose a witch, tasked to bring calamity and plague to the land. This is the child that is born from their sin.

However, after years of Humanity's suffering, God took pity on his creation.

Thus instead, sent his hope to the forsaken.

He granted them his most cherished Angel. This angel would not come as a savior of peace but as a hero of judgment.

"HELEL!"

A scream tore as a blade swept through a widened horizontal arc, aimed directly at the neck of a certain angel.

The angel in question simply moved his body sideward. The blade came close enough to sever a few strands of his black hair, which fluttered to the ground, together with his white feathers. His red eyes locked onto a figure of a certain woman.

White long hair, and a pair of ocean blue eyes. Her lips bite on the corner, enough to make it bleed. Her breath came in ragged gasps, as her hands started to feel dull holding against the sword for too long. There weren't any injuries coming from her body but, for some reason, she felt rather exhausted and pained than usual.

The black-haired angel; Helel curled his lips in a faint smile. "Are you done already, Shion?"

"Shut up Shut up Shut up...SHUT UP!" Shion screamed as she kept swinging her sword relentlessly. However, no matter how much she did so, Helel simply redirected his attacks, keeping their distance to one another while not daring to use his hands. "Attack back, you coward!!"

In Shion's most recent attack, she ended up tripping in one of the corpses.

Her eyes stared slow-mo as she noticed there was a lying dagger ahead.

And then...

SLASH!!!
