Mykael then said to him, "Only, just before I reached you to protect you, the symbol on your forehead got bigger, and it started to spread all over your body at a bewildering speed."
Kevin shook his head and told him, "No way, I didn't activate my Stage 3; I'm sure of it."
Mykael then said to him, having found only that as an explanation, "It wasn't you; it was Axel."
When he saw Kevin's eyes widen, he told him, "The symbols on your body became so bright that they were blinding, and I was stopped dead in my tracks because I heard Axel's voice in my head. It was a little different than usual, but I'm sure it was him, and he told me he would take care of them himself."
Kevin could hardly believe what he was hearing—how Axel had managed to be in two different places. No, actually three different places; after all, there was also his real body.
