Seventy-Four:
Dream World
"What did you just said?" I curiously asked.
"You heard it right, Almos. God Kamali already showing Lady Jeanne her past life and as soon as you finish here, things will change between the two of you." Morpheus answered.
What does he mean? Change? What change will happen to us? I don't have a clue yet I feel like there's a storm coming I cannot just dodge no matter what I do.
"Aren't you curious what might change between you and Lady Jeanne if she'll find out something from her past?" suddenly a voice we never expected has spoken and when we all look at the direction it came from a large ball of fire quickly comes crushing through our direction. It was so sudden not even Morpheus and Epiales can avoid it.
…
Ninth Kingdom
The Gods and Goddesses in the Ninth Kingdom felt a strong tension while the Angels present felt weak for an unknown reason.
"Ilmatar!" it was Dione who came out to her room in a rush after what she just felt. "What was that?!"
"I am not sure." She answered and went out at the center to find someone who can answer their question. "Angel Zamariel."
Zamariel quickly turned to face her. "If you are asking about the tension you felt, we also don't know because even us Angels, we felt weak all of a sudden and we don't know where it came from."
Ilmatar and Dione was shocked after hearing what Zamariel said and having no clue of what was that tension makes them feel unease as the time goes by they know something isn't right. There is more to what they just felt.
"Ilmatar!" It was Asim who came rushing with a serious face.
"What is it?"
"It was about Almos."
"What about him?"
"I'm not so sure, but I know there's something wrong with the Dream World."
…
Dream World
"Morpheus! Epiales!" I called out once the smoke settled down and I tried to find them when something flashes through my sight and before I knew it someone attack me and luckily I manage to summon my Holy Sword and counterattack whoever attacking me.
With a strong force, I was moved back an inch away from where I stand up after the impact happened earlier. And right now, whoever holding the sword in front of me, he is too strong I can barely hold on for long.
"How are you Almos or should I say former God Elbrus."
"Azazel! What are you doing here?!"
"Surprised right?" he said with a smirk. "No one knows not even the Gods and the Goddesses that I can penetrate any places that I want to conquer. Not even you as former God."
"You!"
"Almos!" suddenly Morpheus voice echoed through given me a sign that he will attack so, I quickly retrieve back my sword and let Morpheus attack Azazel.
Azazel quickly moves in speed to dodge Morpheus attack and in a second Epiales also attack him at the direction he landed which creates a strong blast.
"Are you alright, Almos?" Epiales asked as soon as he came at my side.
"Yes, I'm fine."
"It seems your former God powers are still intact in you."
"I have no recollection of me being a God, however," I look down to my sword and it was the only thing that can prove of what they were saying is true. "This thing, I can easily summon it without any inconvenience."
"Indeed. But right now it isn't important, we need to––" Epiales was cut off when suddenly a surprised attack approaches us.
"Almos! Epiales!" Morpheus quickly ran to our aid.
"He's a sneaky bastard!" Epiales muted as he holds his left shoulder and as I look at it I see blood flowing down to his hand.
"God Epiales, your shoulder."
"I'm fine!" he quickly answered as he averted his eyes from Morpheus.
"You should go now, Epiales." Morpheus ordered.
"No! I won't go anywhere not until I defeated Azazel."
"With your condition right now… I don't think you'll be able to fight that long."
"Don't underestimate me, Morpheus! I can still––" another attack coming from Azazel and we all try dodging it but the blast was too strong we all crash down on the ground hardly.
We are all in no condition for another attack and Azazel was already on it's another strike but before it will hit us someone blocks it.
"Almos!"
"Ilmatar! What are you doing here?"
"Saving you and knowing Azazel, he already possessed a new Holy weapon the reason why he became powerful and stronger than the average Fallen Angel."
"How did you know that we've been attack by Azazel?"
"It was I who said it," it was Asim and he already came to my side and help me to stand up while Morpheus help his twin brother.
"How?"
"I can't explain it although after what happened to all the Gods and Goddesses together with all the Angels in Heaven as if someone draining their powers, I already knew it was the works of Azazel and since I'm also a Fallen I'm not affected from whatever he used just to prevent the entire Holiness to fight against him."
A clap suddenly echoed through the Dream World and it was Azazel who's floating up above us.
"As expected to a Fallen Angel like me, Asim," he said as he smiles. "Anyway, now that you are all here why don't we end this? Because right now I still need to get to my Lady so that I can help to find her past." With what he said he once again launches another attack and because we still recovering from his earlier attack, we cannot counter attacks it.
"Asim, bring Almos, Epiales and Morpheus back to Ninth Kingdom." Ilmatar immediately ordered.
"What are you thinking Ilmatar?" I quickly asked as I sense she'll do something reckless.
She smiled. "There's nothing to worry about, I can handle him. Now go! And let me face me him alone."
