Chapter 11 - Yfels Knows - Beginning of a Battle

"Jarse?... Is that him?" ... Neila wore the hoodie over her head...

"Yes, that's him... he is slower than I assumed, I thought he might show up in the middle of our contract… But he figured out our secret... What shall we do?" ... Jarse inquired.

"Let him be... The prince and his knights are formidable... And if he's after us... show no mercy... finish him"... Neila smiled.

"That's cool... I'm so lucky to have you as my host... worth a thousand years of waiting"... Jarse laughs.

Neila stood bravely in front of the gradually dying street light, surrounded by small moths. Jarse approached her. They gripped each other's hands tightly and exchanged glances. Evil energies engulfed them... They evaporated into thin air, leaving remnants of dark particles floating in the air.

The following day...

"So, Bella and Eesah went to meet the commanders of Lehts this morning, there has been no word from Neila, Sparrow is working on identifying the survivors of the previous Nephilim project... What should we do?" ... Lexus enquired as Leo sipped his coffee. They were both at Sparrow's house.

"I'm thinking about the new Nephilim project... What if Agriola creates the finest offspring capable of retaining both Leht and Yfels energies, but Allai picks a different person to be the Yahweh... That will result in a massive catastrophe, right? ... The war between equal powers will destroy this earth, not only us, everything in this universe will burn to embers. So, at whatever cost, we must halt this experiment and put an end to Agriola's dominion"..... Leo responded

"That is correct"... Lexus sat next to Leo, munching his burger... Leo's phone suddenly started ringing. It was Neila.

"Neila?... Did you find anything?" ... he inquired.

"Where are you now?"... She was panting profusely.

"What happened?" ... we are at Sparrow's place…

"Get out of there... now... right now... go out"... she screamed over the phone

"Don't tell me"... Leo rose and grabbed the files from the table... He cast a peek at Lexus. He recognized Leo's eyes... Lexus dashed inside Sparrow's room... Everything occurred so quickly. BOOM!..... A loud boom accompanied by a purple fireball descends from the sky to Sparrow's house. Everything collapsed to the ground... People began to cry out in fear. They fled for their life.

"Are you all right? Sparrow, what about Lexus?" ... Leo stood above them, sheltering and protecting them with the light shield strength of his foc. Lexus and sparrow were cuddling one other under that miraculous translucent golden shield.

"Oh no... I was still paying for those products"... He wrapped his arms around his laptop, which he had protected from the mysterious onslaught.

"I believe we have company"... Leo stood there staring up at the sky.

"Fuck! They are fast"… Lexus sprang up, clutching his daggers Vim and Vigor, and extended his wings like an Eagle.

"Sparrow, shield the area... blind it"... As he gazed up towards the sky, Leo gave the order.

"Yes, Prince"... Sparrow waved his palm rhythmically, and Slyve appeared as both of them moved in unison. They created a barrier around the damaged region, rendering it invisible to human sight. The folks outside were taken aback when they noticed an illusion that Sylve had generated. They noticed that the two-story structure was being demolished. And the sparrows, led by Sylve, pose as human demolition workers in order to control the humans. Leo and Lexus valiantly faced up to two Yfel who was levitating in the air inside the protective barrier.

"They don't look like higher-ups, are they mocking us?" Lexus groaned.

"They are testing us… assessing our strength... Let's show them what we're capable of, Lexus"... Leo wore a confident grin.

"Ok… I like that… Lexus grinned broadly... Are you coming down, or do you want us to come up?" ... He yelled at Yfels...

"Imbeciles, shut up! This is your place, beneath our feet; ready to perish... A prince and a knight without a kingdom"... HAHAHAHA….. The Yfels burst out laughing like lunatics.

"So, I guess we'll have to go up"... Leo stated

"Yes, idiots!"... Lexus flew up…

"Xena, Lux Sparta... skyward"... As Leo mumbled this, he was enveloped in golden rays of light and lifted into the air in an eyeblink. Lexus and Leo were both levitating in front of the Yfels in seconds.

"Shall we begin?" Leo smiled at the Yfels, who were dressed in a black robe. They appeared perplexed.

Meanwhile, Neila was on the outside of Yfels palace, or the former Leht palace... a magnificent mansion or estate set within a 5000-acre mountain valley not far from the city. Almost a thousand Yfels defend the estate, and more than five hundred Yfels live there, including Agriola's family. The boundaries of Yfels palace are patrolled by legions of umbra hounds Yfels. They are now on the hunt for Neila and Jarse.

"Wasn't it your idea to believe him? Look at us now, fleeing from your father's guards"... Jarse grumbled as he followed Neila, he seemed to float through the air like a ghost.

"Shut up, didn't you notice that he's plainly under the influence of my cousin Reiner... I'm not sure how... They discovered Kenneth is leaking information to me... Fuck! I should have killed the flying spy bat... shit!"... She sprinted like a cheetah, hopping over obstacles like a deer.

"Well, you might consider running faster because some hounds are closing in"... Jarse informed, looking back at the guards and their enormous dog-like demonic monsters following them.

"Shit! Simply use your fucking power to vanish from here... Jarse"… Neila yelled.

"Don't be a dunce!... you clearly understand that by using my talents here, we are making Satanus' journey to us simpler... I can't use my strength in his domain... So you run quickly... I'll take you to the Prince the moment you walk out of this estate's border"... Jarse followed Neila, who was sprinting faster, into the forest-like border.

"Ok… Ok… I don't know what happened between you and Satanus, but this running crap is exhausting. You do it if it looks easier... Fuck… I'm hungry"... Neila and Jarse had reached the estate's boundary wall...

"Neila, just a bit more... You can do it"... Jarse acted like a cheerleader.

"Shut up"… When she was about to approach the wall, two hounds and their Yfels barred their route...

"Oh! Come on!" .... Neila drew something from her waist... It was a flexible silver sword... It behaved like a whip, yet the double-edged pliable sword is very lethal not just to opponents but also to the user.

An umbra-hound charged at her, his mouth wide open, revealing ravenous sharp fangs and a slimy long split tongue... She charged forward, saying "out of my way, dogs!" She whirled the sword in the air, making it circle and spiral around the hound's neck, then as she drew the sword back, it bit off the hound's head, causing a blood fountain. The other hound didn't waste any time and charged toward her with the Yfels. She spun the blade again, killing the Yfels and splitting the hound cut in two.

She vaulted to a wall twice her height, and as soon as she left Satanus' domain, Neila and Jarse vanished into thin air…

Not long ago... Two Yfels are challenging Leo and Lexus...

"Bella, we're on our way to the second commander of Leht, Hopin Gori's house, but don't you feel like we're being watched"... While driving the car, Eesah inquired.

"I was about to ask you that... I guess we're not alone... I can feel Yfels presence above us"... she said.

"Well, we don't have any other choice but to greet them"… HAHA… Eesah burst out laughing.

"You're an insane old man"... Bella seemed anxious.
