Arc: Dark Disloyalty Final

EPILOGUE: Accepting the Sad Reality

The hotel room New Delhi India

-Well sir, that ends my report.

Legionus was sitting right next to me while he was giving me the report of the last two weeks of my coma but at no time did I get scared or upset even though everything was within the realm of probability.

-(even if I draw up a complete plan, everything is left to chance at the time of execution, or at least that's what Belfegor told me during the trip here)

I was thinking about what Belfegor and the others advised me during the trip.

-Wisdom will be useful to you but knowing too much always makes the fear of failure increase *Rasiel*

-If the world is cruel it doesn't matter what matters is that you try your best *Sandalphol*

-If you think that fire burns, you don't know despair, that would make the flames of purgatory seem like simple embers *Camael*

-Just because you are the fastest doesn't mean you will do better or have the most acceptable result. Sometimes it's better to relax and think about your next action. That's the best thing to do. *Leviathan*

As I thought about what the demons had told me, I told Legionus to leave me alone for a while.

-Yes I love Videstro

Legionus disappeared into my shadow and then I took off my rings and as I left the room I was heading to a nearby park when I saw some students walking very calmly next to me.

-(Living the life of a student must be easier than that of an angel, right?)

I thought the probability of something happening in this city was at least 42%, but with luck, anything was possible, even a meteorite falling on them or a herd of bulls crushing them.

-Good luck, huh?

When I crossed the pedestrian crossing a car was coming at full speed and one of the girls got distracted by her shoelaces.

-¡Nery be careful!

Girl number two pushed her milliseconds away from being hit by the car

-¡INSTANCE FLASH!

I ran with lightning time and grabbed the girl, put a piece of infernus metal in front of us and cut the car in half leaving it in two cleanly cut pieces.

The skill was automatically disabled by the end of the execution just at that moment the girl saw me with a large sword and a pair of white wings spread out to protect her

-Mili are you okay?

The girl came running and I went to see if the people inside the car were okay.

-Are you really okay?

-Hey idiot, don't get distracted if you're walking on the street, your parents never told you that!

-yes but

-Besides, the one who should worry you is that boy who saved me. I think the car hit him.

-I don't know, I see it well

When they both looked carefully at the car it was perfectly cut into two pieces I took the driver and moved him to the sidewalk

-Is boy okay?

As soon as the young man opened his eyes he just yelled at me and cursed me about 5 times before saying that he would call the police for destroying his car.

-I heard you wouldn't do that.

-Ah! Why the fuck not?

I continued as calm as ever.

-It would be a problem not only for me but for you who have about 2 kilos of narcotics in the glove compartment, the seats and the console.

-¡…!

The young man twitched and then looked at my eyes which were a different color.

-Hey sir!

As I turned around with the sword still sticking out of my sleeve, the girls saw that I was someone their age "more or less"

-and

I had my black coat down to my ankles and retracted the sword made of black ore before turning completely

-What is offered to you ladies?

-Nothing, I just wanted to say thank you for saving my friend.

-it doesn't matter

I gave them a warm smile and personally it felt good to do something that didn't involve killing for a change.

They left with a face of having seen something that will never be repeated by the man who saved her life in less than a nanosecond.

-Well, my friend, what are you going to do?

-Do you have money to replace my car?

-yes but with one condition

-You think you're in a position to demand that you destroyed my car!

-In fact, I am because you were going 135 km/h in a 60 km/h place and you also had 2 kilos of cocaine in the vehicle. I am not a police officer but for all this you will not only get a fine but also a few years.

-¡…!

The boy was extremely scared and became submissive the moment I listed all that.

-Well it seems you want to collaborate

-and

-Well then it will just be one thing

-that?

-leave this business

-…!what are you talking about?

-I mean you should stop selling drugs and find a decent job.

-But I can't

-Don't tell me why?

-they will kill me

-who is it?

-The Adoba Cartel they have control over this area

-I understand, tell me the location of the hiding place... better take me to them

-I would like to but

-Ah, I'll fix that now!

I took a moment and focused on an old skill that I didn't need either as Videstro or as Demonic but remained intact in the God Seal.

-Improvement of temptation

¡BRUUUUUUM!

The car's engine roared with great power but it was no longer the same old jalopy, it was now a high-octane sports vehicle.

-wow how did he do that

-I have my tricks

-You're going to have to teach me.

-soon

The boy looked at the car with the bright eyes of a child with a new toy.

-A gift from me, don't worry, I already got rid of the drugs so you have a clean and cool car

-Yeah!

-Well, take me then.

-yes of course

We only lasted a few minutes before arriving at a huge house on the outskirts of the city.

-Stay here, understood?

-but

-just wait here okay?

-s…si

-Well, I'm leaving.

I closed the door and waved him away.

The car was parked behind the huge walls of the big house.

-Okay, let's play.

*Noise*

I kicked the door and flew to the other side of the reception area.

-Good morning!

I screamed at the top of my lungs when a group of armed people appeared with high-caliber weapons

-Well, just one thing. I'll give you 10 seconds to leave those who don't want to die, but those who leave will have to leave the drug business.

-HA HA HA!

They all laughed loudly as their guns were pointed at my face.

-Come on, you're the one at a disadvantage. Are you sure you want to do this?

-Who knows

-fine as you wish

He snapped his fingers and all the shooters opened fire at the same time. The shots were believed to have been heard outside because there were several motors and the sound of footsteps running in all directions.

The smoke was still very thick, blocking the shooters' vision as well as mine.

-Well gentlemen, it seems you're out of bullets, right?

-¡…!

Everyone tense up, although I felt a pain in my right shoulder. It was a bullet that had hit, but of course it was fired by a human, so it wasn't long before I was cured.

-Well, I must congratulate you for hitting me with just one bullet, now die…

Everyone stood expectantly as he whispered something in the silence provided by the criminals.

-{power as black as the night shows that by the justice of the angels he receives his judgment and by the cruelty of the demons an eternal punishment falls. I, who am the incarnation of the harmful, demand that the power that at one time was hated by God awaken and annihilate everything! Shadow of Death!}

My shadow expanded in all directions and began to absorb everyone who was within the grounds of the mansion, those who tried to flee were held by chains which dragged them into the shadows.

-Well that will be all

I put the bullet embedded in my shoulder in my pants pocket and left the mansion which was completely empty as if no one had ever lived there.

-Ready now live a quiet life like you promised, okay?

-yes of course!

-Could you take me to where we met?

-It's sure to go up!

I got in the car and he dropped me off at the same intersection where we met.

-Well one last thing

-that?

-Forget that you saw me or that we met, live a normal life but never mention me

-GOOD

I closed the door and the car started driving away quickly.

-(well that was my good deed for the day)

Dusk was breaking and I sat down on a park bench. I pulled the now crushed bullet out of my pocket.

-Remember that trusting someone, even if they are your friends, can be a serious mistake *Gabriel*

I remembered the words of the angel of divine omnipresence and then reflected on it very carefully.

-(not trusting anyone is the best or at least that's what he thinks)

I lay back on the bench and put my feet up on the armrest, raised my hand and looked at the bullet again.

-Should I put another insurance on them?

*Sigh*

I left there with a heavy sigh and only said one thing "I guess it's just for safety"

-Legionus go and make sure no one touches the rings no matter what it takes

-we are

My shadow distorted and disappeared for a few moments while I was walking.

-Everything has to be perfect at the time of the final battle, I must have the advantage

I stopped walking and started flying at high speed and entered through the hotel window.

-good job Legionus

I took the rings then opened a portal to the Sahara Desert to prepare a series of insurance

-Okay, let's start.

With large energy charges from the Demonic and dangerous charges from the Anguelic I managed to make more than 10 insurances in case something happens to me.

First insurance: the seal of words created in hell

Second insurance: if the energy disappears the sword will self-destruct turning into dust

Third insurance: no matter where the user is, if he says the name of the sword, whether it is in heaven or hell, it will reach the hands of this one

Safe room: moving the swords more than 20 meters away will automatically seal it

Fifth insurance: after removing even one jewel, the sword will be completely inert.

-Sixth Insurance: It doesn't matter if it has the Demonic Anguelic lineage, only the user written on the sheet can use its power at 100%

Seventh insurance: the sword must rest in the sheath after use if the user allows a third party to use it.

Eighth insurance: armors do not activate unless the user allows it

Ninth security: the weapon change can only be done by the user, no one else

Tenth sure: anyone who tries to touch the sword without permission will be turned into dust

Eleventh insurance: only Legionus has the authority to command the swords without the user's consent

These were the locks that I applied to the sword, these were designed to prevent if a friend betrayed me or the enemy managed to defeat me, although everything would be removed with a few simple words "Halo Limitation Lock Removal Control, Release the beast's condemnations and rip the enemy's throat"

-Okay Legionus please reopen the portal

-immediately

The portal opened and I passed through it with the new shape of the swords.

-Sir, those gloves?

-these are the swords in their new form

-I see

The fingered gloves were of the same colors and design, except that they had the twelve jewels of each one adorning the knuckles, the first knuckles of each finger, and the back of the hand had a large jewel that was the leader of the group of jewels, for example. Rasiel was the leader of the group of Creation and Belial of Destruction.

-So what will you do now, master?

-(luck depends on probability and probability on luck) for now I will continue searching for the exiles and trying to finish off Gezer

-Unfortunately I don't think we won't be able to do that.

-because Legionus

-Call me a busybody or whatever, but they don't plan on helping you.

-¿…?

I tilted my head in doubt with my arms still crossed.

-I don't understand

-Well, let me explain to you about the exiles. The last time I checked their seals, not only were they broken, but it seems that a very different one had been applied to them.

-You say that someone removed my stamp and put another one

-Yes, because if we put it in a somewhat logical way, what happened in Argentina was something strange.

-be more specific

-remember that Gezer managed to drink the blood of Tiamat

-Yes, but that was because she was badly hurt.

-But being badly injured doesn't interfere with her powers, she could have used the instant flash to escape, shot him with the banshee scream or with the energy wave

-I guess but…

-or what happened with Bahamut two weeks ago where he lost control

-That was a Hellhoun knife, it's normal that he lost control...

-Yes, but not if you have a Slavemancer seal, with that it should be impossible for Bahamut to attack you.

-…b…but Gezer was also attacked

-Yes, but I forgot something crucial.

-what is it?

Stopping myself from screaming in anger, I stood up with a strong authority and killing intent that could be felt.

-that you just have to give an order and everything would seem different

-¡…!

-¡Maestro!

My mind collapsed and I fell to my knees in front of Legionus who held me down to prevent me from hurting myself. After getting up he put me on a chair and brought me some ice water.

-Here you have master

-thank you

My hands were shaking as I tried to grab the glass, but it fell as I tried to pick it up, spilling its contents all over the table.

-So the verdict is what?

-As long as they don't suspect that you know their intentions to take advantage and when they show signs of betraying you, seal them

-*sigh* I guess

I lower my head in sorrow and some remorse because those I call friends will betray me again.

-What's the point?

I got up with staggering steps

I took the jewelry box and put it on the floor

-Jewels of the seal of a thousand chains return what was in your cell. Prepare the sentence of the traitors and liars

All the exiles in my room were sealed just when I saw the gems it's like Legionus said the seal of each one had been altered

-Well now the last one that was never sealed

I placed a blue sapphire on Tiamat's chest and carefully recited a special seal that I had prepared since the first meeting I had with her.

-

The jewel emitted a blue light, expanding like water, covering Tiamat's body and turning it into particles of light before disappearing as if there had never been anything there.

I put the jewels in their respective boxes and then closed the small black box with gold edges and the legend written in divine handwriting.

-

Although it may sound sad and cruel, that was the sad truth: all those sealed within jewels of a thousand chains will not be heard by anyone, no matter how much they cry, scream or suffer, no one will help them.

-Goodbye my friends, no, see you soon Exiles *sob*

Legionus approached me but I stopped him dead and made my shadow absorb him leaving me alone in the room.

-Omega model compress

The omega model became a small cube which I placed next to the jewelry box and I took off my gloves, I only had my clothes without armor to cry quietly.

I spent that day crying. The next day I left, but instead of carrying my usual huge luggage, I had a small backpack and paid for my stay of almost a month.

-thanks for everything

My eyes became dull and my gloves along with everything else were in my backpack.

-It doesn't matter anymore, just capture them, seal them and abandon that unattainable ideal

I was hoping that the strength of the exiles would help me defeat Lucifer but it seems I was very wrong.

I thought I had all the answers but in fact I am not God I am just a miserable talentless Archangel

-(I defeat several demons in hell)

-That wasn't me, it was the demons who moved my muscles and helped me fight with the skill of an experienced warrior. I can't fight myself.

-but…

-Shut up Legionus! Leave me alone please

-As you say, master

The demons didn't speak all day because they knew that was the truth. I never fought back and then I said, "I'm weaker than Malvestro."

If it weren't for him getting involved, Taigen would have surely killed me right there.

If Tempo and Typhon hadn't attacked me, the power of the demonic angel would never have awakened,

If Legionus hadn't helped me in that lab I'm sure I would never have gotten out.

I walked for several hours without any direction and I stood on a bridge. I looked carefully at my backpack and then I thought "I'm too weak, I don't deserve this, Father was wrong."

After thinking about it very carefully, I spread my wings and flew east.

PART 2

The island at the gates of the hidden mansion Time 2:23 AM

I returned to the island but not to apologize but to return some things that did not belong to me.

-Well, it was fun, but without the determination to fight, having a sword is useless. Without self-confidence, armor doesn't work. Without strength, why fight?

I left my bag at the door, grabbed a gun, activated the mansion's alarms, and ran out of there at full speed.

As I watched Malvestro hiding behind some trees he was the first to come out with a gun in his hand and tripped over his backpack and I could hear what he said.

-What could this be?

He opened the backpack which had only 4 objects, one was a navy blue cube, the other was a black box and finally there was a pair of gloves with a carefully written letter.

-

Right at the bottom of the page there was something written in basic Spanish

-

I shed a couple of tears before flying away from there the safety catches were removed and the holsters were attached directly to the gloves so there shouldn't be a power collapse problem in the future

I was right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with my powers slowly fading away the Armor entities were totally tied to the swords so I wouldn't see her again

My powers as the Angelic Demonic disappeared because the branch of my powers was sealed and placed in the Legionus entity. The seal of a thousand chains was not linked to me either. The veins tattooed on my right arm disappeared more and more.

-(Giving up power out of desperation and helplessness)

I couldn't help but laugh before my wings disintegrated into dust and I just started to fall into the ocean then before my consciousness faded away one last thought came to me

-(You are a coward for giving up on us Videstro Demonic but remember we will always be your family)

The tears that were added to the infinite sea continued to flow and the last air bubbles disappeared on the surface of the immense ocean.

-Another fault?

-Yes, we must do something, the power is disappearing quickly

-Then prepare the next one

Some last voices resounded mentioning another being besides me.

PART 3

Inside the hidden mansion time 2:55 AM

-HEY, WE HAVE A SITUATION, WAKE UP!

Everyone stood up at Malvestro's shouts and came to the living room, Malvestro gave the situation with a backpack in his hands before opening it and showing the contents

-extermination mission accomplished

Malvestro showed the gloves and used the words of liberation from there came the two Legionus swords standing with one hand extended presenting the seal of a thousand chains

A box with 4 jewels of different colors and a navy blue cube

-Videstro has given up, you can all go back to heaven now

-Yes sir, but it will be later because it's really 3 in the morning.

-Well, rest for now.

As Malvestro closed the door again, he could hear a whispering somewhere.

-Another failure. We must redo everything again.

Looking around there was

-I guess they are the echo of "them"
