Chapter 54 Part 3) Angel (Patreon)

“Your Holiness,” Garnet called out. “I thank you for helping us move as much as we could and even giving me and my people some land.”

“We are friends, so it’s fine. You can also call me Desa. No need for titles. We are, in fact, supposed to be on the same level, and this is not a public setting.” Desaray was sitting in a completely different room, which she knew was rude, but if she did not, she would end up killing Garnet.

“Then Desa, please call me Gar like those close to me do.” Gar smiled. He was actually very glad he became friends with Desaray. If he had not there was no telling what the future may hold for him and his people.

“Then Gar.” Desaray smiled faintly before continuing: “We have finally figured out what the main threat is.” Desaray tapped the crystal in front of her and in the other room, a picture of a grotesque massive eyeball with flesh-like wings appeared. “I am not sure what this monster is, but from the information Juna has gathered using her roots, these monsters will suck the souls out of women and kill any man who attacks it. In other words, they seem to be culling the female species off this planet. As long as it has some sentience, the female will have its soul sucked from its body.

“Any man who is near and does not attack the eyeball will just be completely ignored, which is why I say it is culling females. It’s basically trying to make it so that we can not reproduce. What level they are and how powerful they are, I do not know. I can not use appraisal on them like I can with others. It just does not work. I get no reaction. I had Juna send me out there to try, but I failed.” Desaray felt slight fear of these monsters since it instantly sensed her and turned toward her. If not for Juna quickly teleporting her out, she was sure she would have had her soul sucked out of her.

“This is much more serious as I thought… If it was only killing everyone it would be fine but they are basically trying to bring despair. It’s as if they want all beings to suffer before finally going extinct.” Gar had a point there that Desaray couldn’t help but think of the old biblical testaments.

Desaray’s eyes suddenly widened when she thought of something. She turned to her side and said: “Juna, go to the library and bring me back all the books you can find on the end of days and gods angels.”

“I will be back soon.” Juna disappeared as Desaray leaned back. She had seen many things when researching dragons when she was younger. She remember she went off topic and looked up other mythical monsters as well. And she came across what was supposed to be the biblical interpretation of a real angel.

“Gar, hang on for a bit. I think I might know what these things are.” Desaray had forgotten Gar was there.

“I am in no rush so take your time.” Gar replied with a smile. He had to admit that Desaray was very beautiful but he knew he would never have a chance with how weak he was.

Within fifteen minutes, Juna returned with a stack of books, which they all began to go over. After a while Desaray stopped on a page that was explaining the traits of angels. “I see… so these are angels…”

“Angels?” Juna and Gar both asked at the same time.

“An angel is a messenger of what many believe to be the one true god. The one who created life on this planet. At that time, there was only humankind, or at least I think that to be the case. They do the bidding of the god and it can be in the form of a apocalypse or in the form of a miracle. In our case, it seems to be an apocalypse. Although I do not think it was meant for this world.” Desaray explains lightly but adds in a new question.

“What do you me?” Gar asked.

“Well, from what we understand, the barrier that was once surrounding a certain continent has disappeared and we believe these angels came from there. But the thing is that this continent came from another world is not part of this original world meaning. Some other world’s apocalypse has been moved to our world.” Desaray explained.

“If that is the case then what should we do?” Gar really did not understand much of what was being said but he understood enough to know they were in a bad spot.

“We have to figure out a way to kill these angels. If we can, then we can stop this so-called apocalypse. From what I can tell if these match what is written here and are the messengers or should I say the harbingers of death of the one god, then we will be in for a long, drawn-out fight. We will be basically fighting against the gods themselves. We need to call a meeting between all nations as well as all council members. This includes Darkness and Death as well. We have our work cut out for us.”
