Dylan had no idea that the Angel within him was utterly terrified. He tried to maintain a calm façade and spoke to Azaroth, "Who are you? And what are you doing here?"
"Who am I? The better question would be, what are you doing here? And why were you approaching the demon sealed within this location?" Azaroth asked him while glaring at him.
Azaroth raised his arm and pointed at Dylan. Dylan found out that his body was being sucked towards Azaroth. Dylan imdiately asked the Angel to assist him. However, he had no idea that the Angel was frozen with terror as she sensed Azaroth's Holy Ardor.
She understood that Azaroth was a Holy Son. He possessed the Bloodline of a God! Even though she was a High-Ranking Angel, she couldn't fight against Azaroth. She would have to battle her own instincts to launch a single attack at Azaroth.
In reality, Azaroth didn't possess the bloodline of a God. He had taken over Edwin's body, who possessed a faint bloodline of a Celestial. Edwin inherited this bloodline from his mother, who possessed a thin High-Ranking Angel's Bloodline.
It was Azaroth who had elevated the strength of his Celestial Bloodline after he created this new body with a drop of his Demon God's Blood. In response to his Demon God's Bloodline, Azaroth's Celestial Bloodline underwent a strange transformation that had allowed it to beco God's Bloodline.
Soon, Dylan's body was in Azaroth's grasps. More precisely, his throat was in Azaroth's hands. Azaroth spoke with a cold tone, "Are you going to get out yourself, or do I need to clear you out?"
Those words cleared the last doubt that the Angel had. She knew that if she took any more ti to get out, Azaroth would kill Dylan. The Angel didn't want Dylan to die like that and showed her presence to Azaroth.
Azaroth turned his gaze at the Angel. Just as he had heard, the Angel was extrely beautiful. Her long grey-colored locks and deep green eyes gave anyone who saw her a worshiping feeling.
However, at this mont, this Angel had an ugly complexion as she stared at Azaroth. Azaroth was holding her beloved man's throat and staring at her with a scheming smile on his face.
Now that Dylan Ross was so close to death, the Angel realized that she had truly fallen for him. She was conflicted over what she should do. Even if she tried her best, she couldn't go against her instincts and knowledge. Even now, she had followed Azaroth's command and shown her presence to Azaroth.
Upon seeing her, Azaroth spoke with a disdainful tone, "rely a High-Ranking Angel, huh?"
The Angel was visibly shaken upon hearing that disdainful tone. She responded by speaking, "Angel Margeria is at your service, Holy Son."
"Which branch and religion do you belong to?" Azaroth asked in response.
"I belong to the Holy Church from a branch in the Pinhian Republic," Angel Margeria spoke imdiately.
Azaroth raised his brows upon hearing Margeria. He asked a little curiously, "The Pinhian Republic is so far away from the Kingdom of Gler. It lies south of the Lamhilhan Theocracy. So, why did you cross such a long distance and co to the Kingdom of Gler?"
"I struck a deal with the King of this Kingdom and arrived here to deal with the Demon Emperor terrorizing the citizens of this Kingdom. However, after I dealt a crucial blow to the Demon Emperor and sealed him, the King went back on his words and refused to hand over the Sacred Illuminating Bright Jade he possessed."
"He had prepared a trap for and struck with a solid attack. That attack gravely injured my body, and I knew that the King would kill at all costs. Thus, I sacrificed my body and entered into my Life Ring to flee from that area. After so ti, I reached my limit. I knew that if this went on, I could never return to my territory."
"Thus, I entered a cave and hibernated there. After a couple of years, this man awakened from my sleep," Margeria spoke while pointing at Dylan Ross.
Azaroth nodded in response. Margeria's words made sense as they matched with what he knew of her. At this mont, Dylan spoke out, "You haven't answered my question. Who are you? And how do you know Margeria?"
Dylan wasn't used to soone ignoring like that. Ever since he t Margeria and his fate changed, he had lived his life arrogantly. He was quite confident about his power and haughty about his potential. He knew that he could beco strong enough to be Margeria's equal or even surpass her if given enough ti!
Thus, when he noticed how Margeria talked so respectfully to Azaroth, his heart burned with resentnt. He was a bit furious when he noticed how Azaroth had seemingly begun to ignore him as he questioned Margeria. His rage and pride, along with his fear of losing Margeria to Azaroth, prompted him to open his mouth and ask these questions.
Azaroth was a little amused upon hearing those questions. He gripped Dylan's throat so strongly that even air couldn't pass through.
Margeria witnessed how Azaroth was choking Dylan, and even though she wanted to help Dylan, her body wouldn't budge.
In the end, she remained at her spot while staring at Dylan's struggles to free himself from Azaroth's choke. He repeatedly punched and kicked Azaroth's chest and his guts. But it didn't seem to affect Azaroth's body.
Soon, his struggle began to weaken, and his body stopped moving. The Angel though the worst had happened and began to sob. She had spent a lot of ti with Dylan. She had seen his life closely and beco quite attached to him. And now that she witnessed his death, she felt her heart shatter into a million pieces.
Azaroth spoke out, "Don't waste your tears. He is only unconscious. He will wake up after so ti. Now, let's talk about sothing serious."
Margeria was relieved to hear those words. She was curious about what Azaroth wanted to talk with her.
"I don't know what you ca here to do or why you planned to unseal a Demon Emperor. But your actions have angered greatly. You were planning to endanger countless lives for sothing personal. I can purge your spirit right now. And know this, if I purge your spirit, it won't enter the cycle of reincarnation. You will be completely destroyed by this universe. Not even your God or the Primordial God could revive you," Azaroth spoke with a serious tone.
Margeria didn't doubt those words. She knew that if her spirit was purged right now, it would truly vanish from this world.
"…I understand, Holy Son," Margeria spoke as she awaited the attack that would end her existence in the truest sense. She closed her eyes as another tear leaked out of her eyes, wishing that she could have a talk with Dylan one last ti.
"…You are fortunate that I am not planning to kill you yet. I can ignore this offense. However, you need to do sothing for ," Azaroth spoke. He was finally going to state his order.
He didn't state earlier because he wanted her to understand that her life was in great danger.
"I know what you plan to do. When you reach the Cathedral in the Lamhilhan Theocracy, has Dylan construct a teleportation array over there." Azaroth ordered Margeria.
"When I initially sensed your presence, I was just planning to order you like this. However, your villainous personality doesn't allow to trust you. Co with , I will brand you with my Spiritual Imprint so that you can't disobey my order," Azaroth spoke with a sneer on his face.
Margeria didn't know why but she felt sothing off from that statent.. However, she was too ashad to counter Azaroth's statent and approached him.
