"How is she ?" [Andel]
"Stable ... Her external wounds have been completely healed ... Unfortunately, her soul has been damaged quite a bit . It will take some time for her to recover completely !" [Ayame]
I'm exhausted ... I've used so much power ... Almost it was not enough ... But I had to ... If I acted differently , 'she' might have interfered ... At that point, things would have gone in a totally horrible direction ...
Right now I am in the Another World space together with Lucifer , Ayame , Balcifer and the three idiots . Hecate , Mea and Gargran are here as well ... There are certain things that need to be discussed !
"Andel ... Can you explain exactly what happened ?" [Ayame]
Uhh ... Even if you ask me , there still are some questions that I have no answer to ... Actually, there is only one question ... Why did 'she' do all this ...
"Ok listen everyone ... This is what I managed to figure so far ..." [Andel]
All of them turns towards me . Pfew ... This is going to be interesting ...
"Balcifer was under the control of my ex-fiancé , Yra that I thought died three thousand years ago in a different world . For an unknown reason , she didn't personally interfered and used the wars as a mean to get her hands on your realms to implement the Soul Tear System . Right now I managed to free Balcifer and pretty much delay her scheme with at least ten thousand years , until the next planar war ... " [Andel]
Uhh ... They look at me completely dumbfounded ... Well ... I can't blame them ... The situation has no freaking sense whatsoever ...
"Ok . So , what are you going to do now ?" [Lucifer]
That is ... unexpected ... He recovered fast ... Well , good question actually !
"First I need to keep a promise that I made to Hecate a while ago ... After that, I will search for Yra and ... End this in one way or another ! " [Andel]
He ponders for a second at my words ...
"Very well ... From what you said , at least Yra , the one that gave us our powers as Celestials , is not going to interfere herself ... Otherwise, she would have interfered long ago and not used Balcifer for her plans ... "[Lucifer]
"I can't be sure about that Lucifer ... But from all the evidence that I have at this point , that should be the case !" [Andel]
At least this much I am confident in ... But I just can't figure her plan ... This doesn't make any freaking sense ... Why go through so much trouble to conquer two realms that were created basically with your own power ... And even more important , why to go to a different world ,save my life , make me fall in love with you and then fake your own death ... WHY ?
"I know that this is not the best time , but I would like to ask Andel-sama something ..."[Ceyx]
Lucifer's son ... He ... No , all three of them are good kids ... I like them ... I would love to take and train them as my disciples ...
"Go ahead ."[Andel]
He kneels down , puts his hands on his knees and kowtows ...
"Please take me as your disciple !" [Ceyx]
Well, look at that ... At least something good happens today ...
"Sure !" [Andel]
"Heh ... That easily ?" [Ceyx]
"Yeah ... But I won't take only you ... The other two idiots over there are coming as well ... In less than a hundred years I will make you be on the same level as those sovereigns !" [Andel]
"Eh ... But I don't want to ... " [Antalia]
"... ... ... A... h ... ... ..." [Andelion]
"No complaints allowed , you are coming with me !" [Andel]
The girl turns towards Ayame and with teary eyes begs her ...
"Mother , please , say something ..." [Antalia]
"Good luck !" [Ayame]
Nice ... With this, I just got myself another three disciples ... With the two guys from the group of twelve "heroes" that managed to cultivate the technique that I passed to them , now I have no less than five promising disciples ... In a thousand years , with their help , maybe I'll manage to do with this world exactly what I did with my former one ! It will be hard but not impossible !
"Andel ... She has a message for you !" [Balcifer]
Eh ? Fuuuu ... You idiot ! I go to her body and kneel beside her .
"Don't move ! Don't talk ! Your injuries are too severe right now ... Whatever message Yra has for me , it can wait ... Your life is more important " [Andel]
"Ha ha ha ... You worry too much ... I am still a Celestial ... Even in this state, I can talk at least !" [Balcifer]
She smiles at me ... Damn , she is cute ... NO ! NO ! NO ! What the hell am I thinking about right now ?!? Let's return to reality !
"Like I said , don't force yourself ... " [Andel]
"I am not ... The message is : "I am waiting for you in the Eternal Tower at the last floor ." ." [Balcifer]
Eternal tower ... Last floor ... Well, it looks like I know where I am going next ... First deal with Spider Town's problems which shall take me ten minutes max and then next stop shall be Eternal Tower , last floor ! Te he !
"Andel ..." [Balcifer]
I take her hand and with the other one I gently touch her face ...
"I'm here !"[Andel]
"You promised to take me fishing ... I expect you to ... keep ... that ... promise !" [Balcifer]
With those final words , she closes her eyes again ... She truly pushed herself to the limit ...
"I will !" [Andel]
----------------------------------------
Things finally start to settle down ... Seventeen days have passed since the end of the war . Balcifer has finally made a complete recovery . Right now pretty much all of us are at the gate to the lower realms . It looks like a simple cave opening in the middle of a mountain , but this is truly the gate that connects the Astral World with the Mortal World ...
Soon , it will be opened ...
Now ... The situation is a little peculiar, to be honest ... After she woke up , Balcifer decided to give up on her place as the ruler of the Purgatory Realm and come to the lower realm with me ... Didn't even knew that something like that can actually be done .
And , guess who is going to take her place ... Yap , you guessed right ... The idiot knew as Gargran ... Of course, Mea will be by his side as well ... Well, they will not be left on their own ... They are in rule only in name while the one that will truly manage the Realm will be Valdar . This is a little precaution in case Yra decides to make another move on the ruler of the Purgatory Realm ... They won't be in any danger as I added more defensive layers than I can count so there is no problem in that area , but you can never be too cautious , right ?
Away from me , Hecate and Balcifer , there are three more idiots that come to the lower realm with us ... The three kids that I took as my disciples . After I deal with all this Yra mess, I will start training them .
"Balcifer , please make the honours ? " [Andel]
She smiles at me and swings her hand slowly . Soon , the once black cave is filled with a blinding light . It's so bright that I have to close my eyes for a second.
When I open them again , the scenery changed ... In front of me is a mountain range with white peaks . A few eagle like birds can be seen in the distance . Still, there is a certain detail that assures us that we are in the lower realm ... The sun . A big ball of fire that illuminates the whole ground ...
"I can't believe how much I missed you !" [Andel]
Uhhh .... I didn't intend to say that aloud , but everyone here should already be used to my behaviour . Wait ,there are the three idiots ... Well , they will get used to it !
"It's been so long since I came to the lower realms ... Over two billion years ... It's beautiful !" [Balcifer]
She clings to my left hand . Damn , this is heaven !
A stunning scenery , with a bright sun in the sky and two beautiful girls ... In my left hand, a beautiful five tailed Kitsune and on my right one a gorgeous Arachne ... What could I wish more than this ?
"Lord of the Infernal Realm , Andelion Flaidwagss de Crux surrender right now or die !" [Male voice]
The hell ?!? From behind a thundering voice can be heard ...
All six of us turn around and there lays a huge army made out of ... billions I think of beings from all kind of races ... At first glance, I can distinguish Humans , Elves , Arachne , Kitsune , Giants , Gods , Fairies , Nagas , Nix , Nymphs and so much more ... Furthermore , in front of the huge army , there are ten gods it seems each holding a banner with a number from one to ten ...
"Hey, Balcifer ..." [Andel]
"Yes ..." [Balcifer]
"What is going on here ? "[Andel]
"I'm not ... Sure ..." [Balcifer]
"Lord of the Infernal Realm , Andelion Flaidwagss de Crux this is the last warning ! Surrender !" [Male voice]
The same voice likes earlier ... The one talking looks to be the man holding the banner with the number ten on it ... He totally looks like a businessman , dressed in a suit and with glasses ... Wait a second ... Andelion bla bla bla ... Isn't that ...
"Hey Andelion , you idiot ... What the hell did you do to enrage all those guys ?!?" [Andel]
He looks at me dumbfounded ... He looks at the huge army and back at me ...
" NO IDEEA !!! " [Andelion]
