169: He's here to kill

Raphael observed Alion. 

'Is he really sleeping, or is he pretending?'

"Have you decided?" 

Raphael got the answer to his question within a few minutes as Alion answered without even opening his eyes. It was evident that he was awake. It was as if not only was he awake, but he could also see Raphael.  

"I have." Raphael nodded, taking a seat before Alion. "I am ready to help you in exchange for my freedom, my memories, and my body. But first, I want you to prove that you won't betray me. I want you to keep your side of the deal first!"

"That won't be a problem. Before you kill Azekiel, I'll certainly get you your physical form back. But first, tell me what he's here for. What brought Azekiel to this city at a time like this?"

"The answer is simple. It's you." Raphael smirked. "You brought him here. You are the one he is here for."

"Me?" Alion opened his eyes, gazing at Raphael through the corner of his eyes.
