Volume 4, Chapter 69 – Heavenly Father Descends

The tangible power of Pride spread out before her.

In Fallen Angel Mihiel’s eyes, Lucifa, who had suddenly awakened, her own lord up until this moment, had become incomparably unfamiliar.

“My lady… p-please… please calm down…”

Mihiel did not know why Lucifa had become like this. Lowering her head, she pleaded with Lucifa in a trembling voice.

“Who are you calling your lady?”

Hearing Mihiel’s words, Lucifa’s eyes were still icy cold.

Her hand was still clamped tightly around the neck of the Fallen Angel who had tried to stop her just now, and as for that anguished expression on the Fallen Angel’s face, Lucifa acted as if she did not see it at all.

Then…

In Mihiel’s eyes, Lucifa’s hand that was gripping the Fallen Angel’s neck tightened slightly.

“W-Wait… wait…”

Even wanting to rush in to stop her like this, the tangible power of Pride stood like an unpassable chasm in front of Mihiel, blocking the path she wanted to take to stop Lucifa.

But when Mihiel, who really had no way at all, began to feel powerless in her heart about stopping Lucifa from killing the Fallen Angel, a light, faint sigh suddenly sounded at that moment.

Almost at the same time as the sigh, within Mihiel’s field of vision, a hand suddenly appeared and rested on Lucifa’s arm, the one that was tightly gripping the Fallen Angel.

And with the appearance of that hand, Mihiel noticed that Lucifa’s attempt to crush the Fallen Angel’s neck seemed to have been stopped.

“Looks like I am not late.”

The voice that had just sighed rang out again, and this time, the place it came from was the owner of that hand resting on Lucifa’s arm.

“Insolent fool!”

Feeling a hand suddenly placed on her arm, without even thinking about why she could not crush the Fallen Angel’s neck, Lucifa’s attention had already been drawn by the action of someone suddenly placing their hand on her arm. To be precise, she was utterly enraged by this action.

The next moment…

Under Lucifa’s control, the tangible power of Pride launched an attack toward the owner of that hand, and in the face of Lucifa’s attack, the owner of the hand showed a slightly helpless smile.

“I don’t want to hurt you… my daughter, so for now, you should be a good girl and go to sleep~”

Lucifa’s face was full of disdain at these words spoken in such a gentle tone.

“Who is your daughter! My Pride does not need…”

However, before Lucifa could finish speaking, her small body suddenly went limp and she fell straight down.

Of course, Lucifa did not actually fall to the ground. At the very instant she collapsed, she was scooped up by a pair of strong hands.

“Heavenly Father…”

After Lucifa fainted, Mihiel finally came back to her senses and recognized the one who had stopped Lucifa from going on a rampage. After calling out the name, she bent at the waist to give a polite bow.

Holding the now slumbering Lucifa in his arms, Heavenly Father let out a helpless sigh.

“There is no need to salute me at a time like this. Speaking of which, if I had come any later, that girl Lucifa really would have gone on a proper killing spree…”

“Heavenly Father, you arrived very much in time.”

“In time?”

Lowering his head to look at the sleeping Lucifa, Heavenly Father shook his head.

“If not for some accidents, I might have arrived long ago.”

“The accident Heavenly Father speaks of is…?”

Mihiel felt slightly puzzled in her heart at Heavenly Father’s words.

“Forget it, that is not worth mentioning.”

Heavenly Father shook his head, and his expression turned serious.

“Mihiel, what happened to my daughter just now? What was with that rampaging state?”

“Heavenly Father… this should be the work of the Black Dragon King… because before my lady went on a rampage, it seemed that a Dragon Tongue magic circle was activated at her side…”

As for the cause that had led to Lucifa awakening and rampaging not long ago, Mihiel could be one hundred percent certain that it was that activated magic circle, suspected to be Dragon Tongue, that had caused it.

“Dragon Tongue magic…”

Hearing Mihiel’s explanation, the Heavenly Father looked at the sleeping Lucifa with some guilt in his eyes.

“I will handle the matter of the Black Dragon King. Mihiel, I will leave my daughter in your care for now… you must protect her well.”

As he spoke, Heavenly Father also gestured for Mihiel to come over and take Lucifa from his arms.

Hearing Heavenly Father’s words, Mihiel walked over on her own and carefully took the slumbering Lucifa from his hands.

“Heavenly Father… you…”

After taking Lucifa, Mihiel finally sensed what was off about Heavenly Father at this moment.

That was Heavenly Father’s aura, which was exceptionally weak right now.

When there had still been some distance between them earlier, because all of Mihiel’s attention had been focused on Lucifa, she had not noticed Heavenly Father’s weakness at the first moment.

Only after she took Lucifa from Heavenly Father’s arms did Mihiel discover how weak Heavenly Father currently was.

Far too weak. So weak that even Mihiel, this Legendary Fallen Angel, could clearly sense Heavenly Father’s frailty.

“It is nothing.”

Heavenly Father casually cut off Mihiel’s words.

“I only ran into a little trouble on the way. That is all. Alright, Mihiel, you do not need to concern yourself with anything else. You only need to take care of Lucifa.”

“But… the Black Dragon King…”

Mihiel still could not understand why Heavenly Father insisted on forcing himself when he was already this weak. In the end, she was worried about whether Heavenly Father, in such a weakened state, had the strength to deal with the Black Dragon King, who was still in peak condition.

“The Black Dragon King?”

In the face of Fallen Angel Mihiel’s doubts, Heavenly Father’s expression remained as calm as ever.

“Previously, I could sever his arm with a single word. This time, I came with the intention of grinding his bones to dust.”

“I still have that much confidence.”

Speaking in this plain tone, Heavenly Father spread the wings on his back and flew toward the distance, toward the place where the Black Dragon King was battling Tianyin.

And just as Heavenly Father started flying toward the battlefield, Tianyin was still listening to the Black Dragon King describing this so-called End.

……

By the time Heavenly Father arrived on the scene…

“Your time is almost up too, right!”

With an incomparably arrogant shout, the Black Dragon King lashed the tail behind him and whipped it fiercely toward Tianyin’s direction.

Just as Tianyin was about to dodge.

The Black Dragon King’s enormous body suddenly, bizarrely, went still.

Even the dragon tail that had been whipping fiercely toward Tianyin stopped in midair in that instant.

“Who!”

Although his body had suddenly gone still, the Black Dragon King’s consciousness had not. So when most of his body could no longer move, the Black Dragon King instantly realized that some other existence had taken action.

“You ask who I am? I am myself, Black Dragon King. Speaking of which, earlier, I had just taken an arm from you… what is wrong, you already forgot me so quickly?”

A perfectly calm voice slowly sounded, and at the same time, within the Black Dragon King’s field of vision, there appeared an ordinary looking middle-aged man with pure white wings on his back.

“It is you… Heavenly Father!”

The instant he saw that utterly ordinary looking man, the Black Dragon King’s voice, which had always been filled with confidence, began to turn utterly panicked.

“Wait… Why… Why are you here! That Abyssal Lord… did that Abyssal Lord bastard not promise me it would hold you off!”
