Chapter 2 : Heaven's gate III

"You make too much of yourself, brother."

Beelzebub remarks with a grim look on his face

"I'll say this once, don't call me brother again, no brother of mine would do what you have done so don't you dare call me brother again."

Raphael remarks in an angry tone.

"Tch, It is true that you always had the upper hand slightly while we were both in servitude of the Father but that is not the case now and do you know why??"

Beelzebub asks with a grin

"Tch, why."

Raphael retorts completely uninterested.

"Because one, I always held back then and two, I have dabbled in arts that even you yourself fear, now feel the darkness…"

Beelzebub remarks in a confident tone.

Beelzebub puts up his palm and creates a dark star three times the size of the earth's sun after which he hurls it at Raphael intent on incinerating him with one attack.

Raphael doesn't think too much of it and splits the star in half with a white beam slicing through it with relative ease

********************

"So this is Prince Raphael fighting at full strength."

A war angel remarks as he stared in awe at the battle.

"Don't kid yourself, Raphael at full strength would destroy a quarter of hell with relative ease."

An archangel says.

"What…."

A few angels stare at the archangel in shock as it was common knowledge that Hell was an entire universe comparable to Heaven in size and the thought of destroying with relative ease was basically inconceivable.

*****************

Beelzebub wiggles his fingers and widens his wings opening a portal large enough to swallow the earth and out of it several black spikes begin to fire out of it at immense speeds with Raphael hitting them away with his blade as he jetted towards Beelzebub to engage in close combat.

The force, speed and intensity of Beelzebub's rain of spikes was getting stronger the closer Raphael got to him but this did not deter Raphael as he then stopped in his tracks and generated an energy wave from his being that repelled all the spikes From Beelzebub and blinded him momentarily.

Before Beelzebub has a chance to regain himself Raphael gives him a huge blow on his shoulder with his blade, only narrowly missing the chance to slice Beelzebub in two due to the latter's quick reflexes which ended up saving him.

"Tch... You shouldn't have moved..."

Raphael remarks as he clicked his tongue.

"We are going to keep on coming brother, we will gain access to the throne of grace soon enough."

Beelzebub retorts with a pained expression on his face.

"I don't care how many times you dare to attempt such a thing because as many of you that I find I will destroy without hesitation."

Raphael remarks in a menacing tone.

"Tch don't make too much of yourself, this battle is just getting started…"

Beelzebub says just as a dark pulse blasts Raphael away with Beelzebub using the opportunity to retreat into his portal with other demons fleeing as well.

Songs of victory burst out amongst the war angels as they rejoiced at the little victory they had just witnessed, with archangels flocking around Raphael

 "This is only the beginning, you all should be on your guard at all times."

Raphael remarks.

"Of course my prince but right now we should celebrate our victory."

One of the archangels that approached replies.

"There shall be no celebration until hell's gate has been closed shut. Until then we are at war, never forget that."

Raphael remarks in a grim tone.

"Of course, I'll pass across your message to the others."

The archangel replies.

"Alright then, I'll be leaving now."

Raphael says as he turns to leave.

"We'll clean up here."

Another archangel says as he turned round to mobilize the angels.

"Be safe…"

Raphael mutters under his breath.

Raphael turns and begins to head back towards Heavens gate accompanied by the guards he had arrived with the war angels along archangels looking on, grateful that he had come to their aid and rescued them from a rather grim fate at the hands of the dark prince Beelzebub.
