Chapter 80 Aria’s Meeting
*Phushhh*
After flapping his wings once but with great strength, Kye managed to cross the distance between him and his opponent instantly. Though he was a little bit surprised by his sudden burst in speed, the grip on his sword wasn't exactly the best.
And because of that, instead of piercing her heart, he only managed to scratch her left arm a little.
The whale groaned in pain a little but didn't stop her casting for such. On the contrary, thanks to this last second of casting, she had finished creating her giant seed. "Die you lowly huma-..." As she was saying that, the big seed began to slowly bloom into a big flower.
But to her and everyone's surprise, the soon-to-be great icy flower was shattered in million pieces. And as if it was only the beginning of a nightmare, things became even worse for her.
All the surrounding area suddenly became darker as if the water was tainted by a black aura.
Those who were on the edge of the makeshift ring they had made could see a serpentine body circling all of them with sometimes what looked like a light that surely came from the eyes of the monster.
Kye sensing and seeing that felt breathless. It was as if his lungs didn't take any air from his suit anymore. The pression he felt upon him was so much that even his face began to lose its color. However, his misery soon ended because a giant sphere of water enveloped him, slowly regenerating him as well.
He could see his HP bar slowly going up as well as his wounds slowly closing.
"Who dares attack the one that harbors my seal?" An extremely cold and menacing voice spread to everyone's ears, sending shivers down their spine. Everyone was affected, even the human whale. However, Kye was protected by this and could only watch in awe as he saw everyone getting on one knee with their face looking down.

Earlier, when Aria was busy worrying about Kye's whereabouts, someone shook her of her very. "Aria? Why are you so out of here those last few days?" An incredibly handsome man that looked like he was in his early twenties asked as he raised his flame color eyebrow. His hair was also the same color as well as his eyes which were as fiery as a flame. "I know that our meetings are boring, but still. You look as if you're gonna die."
"Thanks for worrying, Ras," Aria smiled through the hologram that was projecting her body. "I'm just a little bit worried about a … friend I guess," Aria didn't know if her relationship with Kye was at this level or if they were still just acquaintances. But she still decided to use it since knowing Kye a little bit, he would surely consider her already as such.
"W-what did you say?" Ras stood up from his seat with such a speed that if it was a normal chair, then it would have already broken into hundreds of pieces.
"That I'm worried?"
"No, after that!"
"About a friend?" Aria raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Ras was so shocked.
"Since when did you have another friend besides me?" Ras asked with a 'hurt' expression on his face. "Is it this bit*h of a griffon? Or this old dragon?" His hair even began to spark a little.
"Calm down Ras, it's none of them. It's not even a monster, to be honest."
"What?" He was even more surprised now. "I-is it an angel? Or a demon? Or don't tell me... a human?" His eyes became so wide that Aria chuckled a little because Ras' face became funnier by the second. He was so expressive that it changed from the other impassible being.
"Well, what should I say?" Aria paused a moment, letting the tension build up a little. There was only her and Ras in the meeting currently since the other went for a little break and would soon be back. And seeing Ras' expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, well let's be a little bit serious, shall we?" She smiled. "He's a human, but also an angel as well. He also has Lightbringer which is sealed by the purest Holy energy I've ever seen in my life, as well as a halo which is sealed by the darkest demonic energy I've ever seen..." Aria was about to continue but got stopped by Ras.
"What do you mean by that? Is he a Nephilim? But no it can't be since it wouldn't explain the fact that he has Lightbringer, nor a sealed halo," Ras didn't even doubt Aria for a second because he knew that her skills were top-notch. So her inspection of this new friend of her and his artifacts was without a doubt true. "Are you sure he's normal?"
"I've never said he was normal though," She chuckled before continuing. "And you are right, he isn't a Nephilim. From what he told me, and I'm sure he told me the truth, he was still a human a few weeks ago and only is a half-angel now. Which is very strange since there wasn't any record of such things. Surely he would have become a Nephilim if it was the case, but no, he's a half-angel," Ras listened to her with such a curiosity that he forgot his earlier worries.
"And what is stranger is that he didn't get his halo naturally. His wings also grew from their infant state to their adult state in front of my eyes whereas he wasn't even an angel yet. Which makes me wonder who he is."
"He is without a doubt an anomaly," Aria was glad that this voice didn't come from Ras' mouth because their relationship wouldn't have been the same anymore if it were to be so. "He needs to be dealt with quickly or will disrupt the order," The man who spoke looked quite old but was still handsome. He had venomous green hair as well as a cunning look that was accentuated by his eyes emerald color.
"What do you mean by an anomaly, Chris?" Ras got angry because he didn't like this old man one bit. "He's a precious gem that needs to be cared for. He will without a doubt change the order of this world."
"How foolish from you, Ras!" Chris's words looked like they harbored poison. "He will bring doom upon this world, not bring any benefit."
"And how are you so sure about that?" A beauty that looked like she was around Aria's age asked Chris. She has golden silver hair and an otherwordly pretty face. But unlike Aria who looked like a gorgeous woman with everythings right in place, this woman was more on the cute side with more humble curves. However, she didn't shy away in terms of beauty Aria since they were both the same in this regard. "I'm sure that Aria didn't take interest in him for no reason, right?" She looked toward her with a friendly smile. They didn't get along on a lot of topics but were still decent friends that understood each other.
"That's right, Ama. It was only out of curiosity at the beginning, but I slowly grow fond of him as I talked with him more. So much that I even gave him a seal-..."
