Chapter 76 - Death

Seventy-Six:

 

Dream World

 

"Forgiveness." Azazel speaks the words with a bitter taste on it. "Do you really think that I will need it?"

 

"What are you saying?"

 

"I'm not here to ask for forgiveness or anything, because all I want from the beginning is to take what is right for me."

 

"Your insane, Azazel!"

 

"No! It was our Father who is insane! As one of his first creation of Angels, one of His loyal guardian I have all the rights to be one of a God but then He suddenly decided to banish me after all that I have done for Him! Why?!"

 

"Because you are selfish and have a hidden darkness from within you!"

 

"No! He is just so damn scared to admit that I am more capable to be one of His greatest Gods and so damn scared that I might surpass Him!"

 

"Ridiculous! You don't know what you were talking!"

 

Azazel laughs so loud making him look more ridiculous in the eyes of Ilmatar. "What?! Do you really think I am crazy?!"

 

"Indeed you are! No wonder no one can bear to be with you!"

 

"And I don't care!" he answered before he attack once more and things get hit up once again.

 

Ilmatar never back down with every attack Azazel doing, she handle it even though the longer it takes the harder to handle because every time he release his powers, it's getting tougher and stronger which slowly ruining the Dream World.

 

'The longer he used his powers, it became stronger and I cannot just defend it without damaging the Dream World.'

 

'So, what is your solution?' a mysterious voice answered from a far realm.

 

Ilmatar smiled. 'You know what I can do about this.'

 

The mysterious voice deeply sighs before this person answered. 'Don't you think it will make him stop?'

 

'I don't know but at least it will give them time to fix everything and also to save Jeanne.'

 

Silence.

 

'When will I descend down to Earth?' the mysterious voice asked that breaks the silence.

 

'Whenever you are ready,' she answered with a smile.

 

'With that smile of yours, I think you're ready for it.'

 

Ilmatar just laughs about it as she takes a deep breath before telling. 'You will take care of Almos, because I am sure at this moment, he is coming back to prevent me from doing what I should do.'

 

'If he will listen to me…' the mysterious voice answered with a doubt.

 

'He will.' She answered before she finally releases her last resort. "Endless Void."

 

"You!" Azazel shouted and was about to leave when Ilmatar quickly blocks his way out.

 

"Do you really think I'll let you leave? No! You won't go anywhere because I'll stop you no matter what happens!"

 

"You're crazy!" he screamed. "Do you even know what will happen to you if you stop me?"

 

"Yes, very well known."

 

"Huh! Sacrificing your life just to make sure I won't escape! Ilmatar!"

 

"If death is what I need just to stop you then, I'll wholeheartedly die to make sure you do no harm to anyone else."

 

"Especially to Almos, am I right?"

 

Ilmatar smirks at him. "You have no right to conclude anything about me and Almos."

 

"I am not concluding my dear Goddess, I am stating a fact although I doubt if he will remember since it wasn't him that we are talking about."

 

Ilmatar chose to stay quiet until the energy that she released became bigger and ready to consume not only Azazel but also hers.

 

"Here it is." She said before a smile formed her lips.

 

"You crazy bitch!" Azazel screamed out loud when he finally noticed that the void is on its final term and ready to consume him. "Stop this or you and I will perish forever!"

 

"I can't."

 

"What!"

 

"This is what I want and no one can stop it."

 

"Ilmatar!" Azazel screams so loud it surrounds the Dream World that even, the mortals who are in dreams shaken in fear and horror.

 

Meanwhile…

 

Almos finally get want he wants and came back to the Dream World only to find out he was already too late because Ilmatar already released her last resort to finish Azazel.

 

"Ilmatar!"

 

"Speaking of the devil!" Azazel answered.

 

"Shut up!"

 

"Ilmatar, let go of him now!" Almos ordered even though he knew it was too late.

 

"She couldn't let go now, Almos." It was Morpheus who speaks. "Nor avoid the void she released."

 

"No!" he was about to go but then Ilmatar suddenly stop him.

 

"Don't come near me, Almos!" she shouted.

 

"Don't do this!"

 

"I'm sorry." She answered as her doppelganger came to his front. "I know that you want to know the truth of your past and I'm the only one knows about it although I cannot say a word not because I want to but because it was your last will. 'To not let you know of your past life because it is for the Special Spirit safety.'"

 

"What?" questions written all over his face after hearing what Ilmatar just said.

 

She smiles. "Here," she handed a Crystal Heart. "Take it."

 

"What is this?"

 

"Memories." She answered. "And it was your memories."

 

Silence and it took Almos a long time before he speaks.

 

"You still need to get away, far from Azazel." He said instead of asking what he will do after taking the Crystal Heart.

 

"I can't, I'm sorry." She simply answered before vanishing.

 

"No! Ilmatar!" Morpheus, Epiales and Asim hold him tight and before they can react or do something a flashing light suddenly exploded that blinds their eyes. Causing them to close it tightly as the light surrounds the whole Dream World that even the dreamers were blinded by the lights. While Azazel screams echoed all throughout the whole place, a deafening scream before the whole area went silent.

 

The brightness suddenly turns to nothing and darkness just came afterwards before the whole Dream World turns back to normal, while Azazel and Ilmatar cannot be found elsewhere. They lost in void.
