———————————
Heaven's realm. Once a peaceful place, now a bloody battlefield between powerful entities. One stands against the omnipotent, Isamu, with his warguard knight angel. The two companions fought against the residents of the heavenly realm. Isamu's determination to reach the place, the place where his family was coldly sacrificed as pacifiers for the humans.
Isamu's battle against the omnipotents is still going on; thunder crashes as swords and magic were unleashed.
But Isamu's hope and expectations to be the victor were crushed; the most powerful has intervened in the battle.
Isamu's enemies were double.
"There are too many! But I can't just back down when we have gone this far."
Isamu's words reached Miyu's.
However, Miyu had different plans.
Isamu was preparing to chant his most powerful spell, but it's the riskiest. As it would take a huge toll on his body.
Isamu knew his fate was sealed the moment he entered the holy sanctuary.
Isamu's chanting was interrupted.
Isamu's body was wrapped by Miyu's beautiful wings; her hands embraced Isamu.
"W-Wait Miyu! This isn't the time for hugging!"
Miyu's eyes, which resembled those of a pool of blood, gazed upon Isamu.
"You're right, Master. This isn't the time. But... Please grant me a favor."
Isamu's eyes widened, wondering what she meant.
At that moment, the enemies were close to the two. Slowly inching to their location.
"O-Okay, but what is it? I hope it's something important-"
Miyu immediately shut Isamu's mouth.
Isamu then noticed Miyu's eyes were melancholic. A sense of longing was seen behind her pupils.
"Wait... M-Miyu, what are you going to do?"
Miyu then shoots up a bittersweet smile for Isamu.
"Master, live for me."
Miyu then inched closer to Isamu's ear as she whispered.
"Know it's for the better."
With that, Isamu's vision started to fade.
The last scene he saw was Miyu's tears flowing, and she rushed to the battlefield as Isamu was thrown away in a portal that Miyu created.
"Miyu... No..."
Isamu fell into the portal; his surroundings were like water and bubbles. He tried to reach his hand out but only reached for nothing.
「Meanwhile in the battlefield.」
Miyu rushed to the battlefield like there was no tomorrow. Her weapons were unsheathed once again, her battleshout echoed throughout the realm; this was probably her last battle.
Her power made waves throughout the battlefield and single-handedly wiped a whole battalion worth of angels and demons.
Her sword cut through her enemies; may they be lesser gods or minions, they will be cut down by the warguard of Isamu.
There were mixed feelings of desperation and determination inside of Miyu. She wants to be with her master once again, knowing that Isamu is in a safe place, away from this accursed realm.
"May your deaths will never be peaceful."
Miyu shouted as she cut countless enemies. Eventually, the upper gods started to fight her.
Sword after sword went through Miyu's body; however, she never gave up.
Giving up wasn't in her master's vocabulary after all.
Miyu received countless hits and slashes on her, but she never stopped thinking about her master.
"It's for the better."
Miyu never stopped saying those words in her head.
"It's for the better..."
Miyu repeated.
"His safety is a priority."
Miyu said.
A sword came through her hip.
"It's for the better..."
A sword pierced her shoulder.
"His safety is my priority..."
She was so loyal, so loyal that she could die for Isamu.
As the last sword pierced her stomach, she was brought down to her knees.
She was basically exhausted and in unimaginable pain.
The upper gods surrounded her.
Miyu noticed this, but her eyes gazed fiercly at the gods.
"They are the source of my master's misery."
Miyu was enraged; however, she cannot do anything.
The gods murmured and planned to keep Miyu as a prisoner, as they knew that Isamu was still alive. They knew that he'd come for his warguard.
Miyu was bait for the upper gods' traps.
The gods then declared that Isamu, the rebel, was dead. It was declared all over the world. To weaken every human's will and morale to rebel against the holy and uncharted ones.
「The day had gone by.」
Everyone had received the news.
The people who hold Isamu the dereast were shocked.
Especially those people.
He was dead.
It's a rough and stupid idea; nobody would believe it; however, the gods were the ones who announced it.
A population of people would believe, and some won't.
Miyu, however, was spared from the lies. She was the only one who knew. She also knew the gods' plan.
But there is no other choice. She hopes that Isamu will have a speedy recovery and get stronger.
But leaving the holy sanctuary would weaken Isamu's power, but it was for the better, the better option rather than actually die from the hands he holds against.
"Master, please be careful. Be more powerful than your previous self. I'll be waiting."
Miyu's eyes closed as she said those words. Miyu entered her state of slumber.
"Until then..."
