Chapter 605: We’ve Been Fooled-I
Raziel sighed while closing his eyes and he pressed his hand on his forehead, "You would not want to do this, Redrick."
"Why wouldn't I?" Redrick questioned his eyes that stared at Raziel was cold and decisive. It seems to Raziel that Redrick had blinded himself with his goal, forgetting the limits of his action.
"Unlike Michael who can never act on his personal feeling, I can. And much more than Michael, I am stronger than him," Raziel answered, causing Redrick's eyes to narrow.
Most archangels are strangers even compared to some of the strongest high demons, they are undeniably strong to make up for the less number of the archangels. It was as if nature was striving for balance. While high demons are much more in number they cannot compare to a single archangel but even amongst all angels, Michael stood the most out of all for he was the Heaven's soldier, the angel who hunt down evilness.
But there was one secret in Heaven that only a few was aware. There was one angel who can defeat Michael in battle. The archangel was none other than Raziel himself.
When Redrick blink for a split of second and opened his eyes, he saw how Raziel had disappeared from his spot. With caution, Redrick's eyes darted around the church when he heard the cry of people far away outside the church. Raziel was amongst them, saving the humans and putting them into a safer place before coming back again in the speed of light.
"It was a shame for Heaven to put such a kind angel like you to the prison," commented Redrick and Raziel looked at him with a smile of sarcasm.
"Now that the humans are away, I don't have to be careful about my own power. Prepare yourself Redrick." Only a second after Raziel spoke, he once again disappeared from his place, appearing right behind Redrick before then kicking the angel down to the ground.
"Gabriel was a good angel. A little too responsible around him that he always ended in the receiving end of taking other's burden. I have been a little fond of him," Raziel spoke while Redrick struggled to stand from the ground he fell at. Raziel's words about him being stronger than Michael was no joke to laugh at. The man had kicked him enough to cause his organs to bleed internally. If he wasn't an archangel, Redrick could see himself dying on the spot.
It was almost frightening how calm and composed Raziel was as he hit another archangel as though he felt nothing from it. No sadness, no concern, no guilt, nothing. The ground underneath Redrick where he had been slammed flat at shattered as if one more push of Raziel's foot would create cavity in the spot.
"Yet I heard you had ripped his wings even though you were quite close to him as well," said Raziel and Redrick who was on the ground flinched in surprise as Redrick had arrived on the left side of him. The surprise didn't end there when Raziel took a harsh grip on Redrick's wings with one foot stepping down the angel's back.
"How did you rip Gabriel's wings? Was it by tearing or with a blade?" Raziel questioned with his chilling cold headed tone.
"You… what you are doing is against gentleness, isn't it?" Redrick questioned as he shivered when a cold sensation like blade or somewhat on the head of his wings.
"Gentleness? You are indeed insane to ask the angel of wrath his gentleness. I don't think you know this but then we only met perhaps three times in Heaven, Camael. I am not the angel of wrath simply because I am an angry person, rather it is because I can't feel anything. Not sadness, no guilt, nothing. What I only feel for you currently is my responsibility and irritation as seeing you reminded me of seeing a very foolish version of myself."
"Tch," Redrick clicked his tongue. He tried to push himself which only resulted in Raziel pulling his wings, making him to cry in agonizing pain. "Don't you feel anything against the demons who had killed your wife, Raziel?! You have gone through the same and even worse pain of losing your wife to the demons. If you understand my pain you would have supported my plan instead."
"It's because to my eyes, Redrick what you are doing is pointless. I won't try to kill the demons who killed my wife by hurting many others in process. You want to kill demons? Sure I can be on board. Only if your plan had been a good one. But you… think your justice is right when it is filled with nothing but sins."
"It doesn't seem like we will ever be in a single page, Raziel," Redrick replied with an upset tone, "I am very disappointed. I had hoped to offer you my help."
Raziel narrowed his eyes the moment Redrick bend his hand to blast a bright light toward Raziel. The latter had no choice but to shut his eyes but in that moment, Raziel still didn't let go of Redrick's wings. With no choice, Redrick sacrificed the left side of his wings. He cried in pain as Redrick tightly tore his wings.
Blood crated a small pool underneath as Redrick stared at his wing with a twisted expression before fading to the darkness and disappeared.
Raziel clicked his tongue, seeing blood on his hands, he wiped it away before disappearing at the same time to Heaven, "Time to reveal everything," whispered Raziel as he soared to the sky.
Inside the Church building, Ernest stared hardly at Elise, "Why are you so fearless, Lady Elise?"
"And can you tell me why in Heaven's name should I fear you, Ernest?" Elise questioned Ernest in a composure that was almost chillingly still.
Ernest begin to walk around with a smile on his lips. He touched the flowers that were placed inside the house causing it to whiter with one sole touch of his fingertips. "Was it not enough that I have killed your husband to scare you, milady? I had been so curious. So curious of how could a demon fall in love with a person so much, terribly deep that they don't mind dying on their hands. It was my first time seeing a true love like yours and Ian. I have to say I am very impressed. But you know I haven't been in the mood to kill a widow."
Elise's eyes narrowed down coldly, "Watch your mouth, Ernest. I am in no mood to entertain your words and twisted view of the world. I have heard enough from others like you and I don't need to hear more of it."
