246: The Ones Above

"So tell me. How is it that you are alive?" Azekiel asked. Despite being a tower Lord, when he was curious about how it was possible for this to happen. Even though Raphael claimed that he did it know why he had a spiritual form even though he was alive, Azekiel was sure that he at least had some idea since it was related to him. 

"If I knew how it was possible, I wouldn't have any need to keep you alive. I could have killed you twice over by now since I am sure the ones above would've rewarded me heavily for that. You are quite popular even after all these years, after all."

"You know about me, yet you think you could've killed me?" Azekiel was quite amused at this response. There was one thing to be brave, and there was another to be outright foolish, which he believed the young man was being.
