Hello, guys ... Holy shit there were a lot of comments last chapter ...
Well , some things are going to be explained ... Quite a few I might add ...
BTW everyone says that this story is rushed ... YES , IT IS ... It’s actually intended like this ... You will understand what I mean in a month or two ...
Until then , please enjoy !
Purgatory arc: Scheme
For the first time since Yra died , I was forced to release my eleventh and twelfth Beta Type seals ...
I was defeated ... By Celestials Ayame and Lucifer ... But I enjoyed this fight to the end . It was amazing ! It’s been thousands of years since I had this much fun .
A column of crimson light that towers the heavens is generated with me in the centre . I am in quite a horrific situation right now ... All my body is a bloody mess , one of my shoulders is completely gone and even my heart was a little damaged . That was ... Close ... That was ... Fun !
Crimson flames cover my body and the flesh , tendons and bones start burning .Pain fills my brain as it starts being incinerated .
Soon , all my body is turned into dust . But this is to be expected , considering that it was only a physical , mortal body . From dust , strands of blood collored energy starts emerging . Soon they gather together forming a small core . As more and more energy is generated , the core gets bigger . Soon it starts resembling a person . Or to be more exact , it starts resembling my mortal form .
True Astral Form ... It’s been so long since I’ve used it ... But it feels good . Not having physical needs to care about ... This is my true body .
Right now , If I were to be cut in half , not a drop of blood would spill . My body would just reform itself .
Soon , the energy starts consolidating itself . Bones are formed , followed by tendons , muscles , blood veins , blood , fat and skin . In the end my hair grows back to its original size and the same crimson clothes appears on me .
The tower of light subsides and , in the middle of it , my true body resides ... For outsiders , it might seem that I just healed myself as there is no difference between my current form and the previous one . But there is a huge change ...
My body is not made out of atoms anymore ... It is made out of Pure Astral Energy . It’s a qualitative difference impossible to comprehend to those in the lower realms . In terms of energy , one Beta Type Seal is the same as one thousand Alpha Type Seals .
From this it can be easily assumed that my current power is at least two hundred times greater than before . Although the increase in power is exponential , not additive !
In front of me the heavy injured Ayame and Lucifer stands dumbfounded ... From their point of view , I am the same as at the beginning of the fight . Slowly , my body starts moving towards them .
‘Cling’
Lucifer drops his sword ... The light in his eyes disappear ... It looks like he realised that , defeating me right now , is ... impossible . Ayame , instead of giving up , starts burning her life force attempting another attack ... Nothing good will come out if she continues like this .
In the blink of an eye , before she is even aware , I stride forward , grab her sword by the blade and take it away from her .
“Youuuu ... When ?!?” [Ayame]
She looks angry at me and a small magical circle appears in each of her hands ... It looks like even without her weapon , she is ready to fight to the death ...

“Your daughter is still alive !” [Andel]
“Eh ?!?” [Ayame]
She hesitates ... Like I assumed ... The reason why she is ready to sacrifice everything is because of her daughter . With a flinch of my fingers , I activate World Alteration Mode – Another World and teleports me , Ayame and Lucifer to my very own dimension . Here , finally , we can talk things clearly .
“Antalia !!! ”
Ayame rushes towards her daughter that is now being healed . Not enough time has passed , so her injuries are still quite severe and she is unconscious .
“Calm down ... She is going to be completely healed in less than ten days . The same applies to the other two kids !” [Andel]
She looks at me with confusion in her eyes ... I don’t blame her ...
“Andel , why kill so many soldiers for no reason whatsoever , but avoid killing our kids ? ” [Lucifer]
Straight to the point I see ...
“I told you earlier , did I not ? Death is not absolute ... ” [Andel]
He looks at me in the eyes and then , finally , a short lighting flashes through his eyes ... It looks like he finally got the hint .
“Does that mean that you have a way of reviving everyone you killed ?” [Lucifer]
“Eh ?!? How could that even be possible ?” [Ayame]
“It is possible ... If it wasn’t , I would have thought of a different way of doing things ...” [Andel]
Both of them seems to be even more confused now ...
“Hahn ... To put it bluntly ... I knew about the real situation after drinking Balcifer’s blood . She thought that reading her memories would be impossible because of the power difference , but she didn’t realise just how strong I truly was . ” [Andel]
“Then ... why did you fight in this war ? If you were not to fight , our chances would have been quite good . We could have won this war ... My son , his friend Andelion and Ayame’s daughter Antalia ... Their power is way above normal soldiers . They could have won this war for our realm ! ” [Lucifer]
“Things are not that simple as they seem ... Unfortunately , even if I were to explain you this right now , nothing would change . This is why please have patience ... In ten days I guarantee you that not only will you realm win this war , but things will be completely explained .” [Andel]
Both of them hesitates for quite a while . In the end , Ayame looks me in the eyes and says in a low voice .
“... Very well . I will trust you this time ...” [Ayame]
Leaving those words behind , she goes to her daughter , sits down and starts casting some healing art on her .
Lucifer is still standing in front of me . His brows are knitted together and a worrisome expression is on his face ...
He approaches me , puts his left hand on my shoulder and whispers in a low voice so that only I can hear him .
“Does this situation has anything to do with the one that gave us our powers as Celestials , Andel?” [Lucifer]
I look at him and answer in a grave tone while activating the teleportation back to the Infernal Realm .
“You already know the answer to that question !” [Andel]
