Chapter Twenty-Seven: Awakening

"Lucifer!" Nora regained a little consciousness during Michael's exorcism, and suddenly sat up and looked up at the ceiling with wide eyes, the sweat of the bean soaked the tulle pajamas, and a few sincere tears unconsciously fell from the corners of her eyes.

Michael was stunned when he heard the familiar name, and when the assistant priest heard this name, he obediently stood behind the archangel and did not dare to make a sound.

Today is a sunny day, the exorcism work has not stopped, Michael observed that the enchanted Nora began to cry, and felt that his innovative exorcism method had progressed, could it be that the gods finally recognized his pious confession and came to help.

"I'm here today." Michael's mouth was dry, and even his voice became hoarse, and he weakly closed the heavy black-skinned Bible in his hand and put it on the table beside him, and the priest beside him could see that the archangel in front of him was exhausted from all he could to exorcise the demon.

The two of them were about to leave the room quietly, when Nora, who was in a conscious state, held up her weak body and called Michael: "Wait a minute, Michael, please don't leave......"

"........." The archangel had expected such a thing to happen, and silently turned her back to the frail girl and did not turn around.

The silent priest patted Michael on his strong arm and left the room first, watching them gently close the door, leaving behind an angel and a poor girl possessed by the devil.

"Michael, I saw in a dream that you saved that child. Lucifer's child. Nora excitedly recounted what she had seen, and she was sure that the god who appeared in her dream was the one in front of her.

"........." Michael wondered, whether the dream Nora was talking about was the memory of the demon or the original imagination in the girl's mind.

"Michael, your exorcism didn't have any effect, you actually made her think of the god you hate the most, hahaha......" Nora, who was still conscious just now, was suddenly dragged back into her body by the demon, and it unscrupulously occupied the girl's body, mocking the frustrated archangel Michael.

Michael never turned his body to comfort poor Nora, who had been devastated by the demons, and the hands that were pounding his sides unconsciously clenched into fists, and the compassion in his heart made the gods not have the impulse to rush towards the girl who possessed the demons.

Nora curled up in the empty house deep inside herself, as if she had experienced the dream herself, in that thrilling dream she saw the process of Lucifer's cruelty, and saw Michael's responsibility to protect the innocent creatures who were born at all costs, even at the cost of her life, and she had no reason to fear the demon who was destroying her.

"Nora, Nora, I'm coming." The demon triumphantly broke into the last line of defense in the girl's heart, and was bound to admire the poor creature hiding in the corner.

"I want to see Lucifer." Nora didn't know where she got the courage to talk to the demon who had been torturing her, she stared at the very arrogant demon opposite with an unshakable gaze, and then stood up fearlessly in front of it, at the same time, the demon actually felt a strange power from Nora's body, some divine power from heaven radiated from the body of the girl in front of her, for the power in heaven, the demon was obviously still a little unbearable, but it couldn't admit defeat, Pretending to be calm, he looked at Nora on the other side.

"Is Lucifer the one you can meet casually?" The demon felt that Nora was too naïve, and although he laughed at her, he still did not dare to act rashly.

"See you casually?" Nora didn't think that what she had just seen was an indifferent dream, maybe the sudden dream was giving her some hint, or maybe she was a witness to this experience, and now she felt very warm, her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a warm sun, and the few remaining souls that she had been destroyed by demons were regaining their integrity little by little.

The demon ............ sensed the change in Nora's body, and the impregnable cage that he had built inside the girl began to move, and he swayed and tripped over himself. The demon is no longer the powerful ruler of the moment, and its power has waned as Nora continues to break the cage.

"Son of the Morning Light, ashes of the world, pagan filth, grace is not favored, you have been forgiven, leaving this body and being redeemed. I command you, as God, to leave the soul of this Son of God. Once again, Michael and the priest went into battle, and they started a new round of exorcism, and the archangel held the cross in his hand and branded the mark of God on Nora's forehead, and whispered in the girl's ear with words that were originally his sincere expression, that he hoped for world peace, that his brother could be redeemed, and that the angel would shed tears at the thought of this.

Michael's exorcism voice was no longer sonorous but gradually choked, he looked down at the innocent girl who was dying and panting and was fighting with the demon, thinking of what she had just said to herself, and recalling the unbearable encounter that had been, when the young and frivolous Michael tried to protect his reputation in the heavenly realm, and swore to agree to the mission of the gods in heaven to arrest Lucifer, but the real purpose of this mission was that the gods asked Michael to harm his own mother's fellow mother on the grounds of human experience.

When Michael came to earth to see his brother Lucifer, he had already felt the most devout repentance of the sinful deity. The end of the world is a difficult test, it is not not easy for human beings to live in such a difficult day, and 'survival of the fittest' is the rule of the game in this smokeless battlefield, but Lucifer in order to atone for his sins and for all sentient beings, he desperately chose to sacrifice his powerful divine power to protect these defenseless and homeless humans. The god of atonement led the people to establish shelters, and he used almost all of his divine power to cast spells to trap the surviving humans in a protective barrier. But for the sake of his glory in the heavenly realm, Michael finally decided to carry out the orders of the gods......

“…… I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Michael couldn't bear to recall the memories that he shouldn't have had in the first place, and his confident exorcism power became worthless with the powerful memory.

"Michael, you are guilty too." Nora's face suddenly twisted upward, sneering at Michael, who was disturbed by the memory.

"It's my business with him, and I can't let you ugly monsters dictate me." Michael, pretending to be strong, increased the gravity of the cross imprinted on the girl's forehead, and continued the exorcism spell on his lips: "Son of the morning light, ashes of the world, pagan filth, grace is not favored, you have been forgiven, leave this body, and be redeemed." I command you, as God, to leave the soul of this Son of God. ”

"Hahaha......" The demon continued to laugh, trying to hide the power it had been weakened by Nora, and it used what little power it had left in its body to suppress the girl's reshaping soul.

"Stop struggling, I'm the whole me." After reshaping her soul, Nora confidently walked towards the demon who fell to the ground and couldn't stand up for a long time, along the way, her multiple figures were superimposed and converted into each other, and the demon fell to the ground in a trance and saw the figure of a long-lost reunion in the process of Nora's figure regrouping, so its eyes involuntarily lit up, and then the demon moved back a few steps in fear.

"I seem to remember your name." Nora defies the demons at her feet who use all their power to hurt herself.

"Tell me, who are you?!" Sweating, Michael asked the name of the demon possessed by Nora.

"Azazle." Nora and the demon blurted out at the same time, seeing that the girl demon was getting stronger, and the demon was a little out of control, and it wanted to escape from this uncontrolled body and said its name.

Just as the demon flew out of the girl's body and ascended to heaven, it was unfortunately choked by Nora's backhand, and the girl lowered her head indifferently and whispered in Azazel's ear: "Now am I qualified to see Lucifer?" Go spread the word. ”

As soon as the words fell, Nora dragged its head into the air and threw it violently, which can be said to be the girl's own hand to throw the demon out of the body, and at the same time Nora also used the power generated by her own power to make a protective charm to escort it to escape, this is to avoid the risk of her own exorcist expelling Azazel from the exorcism spell to hell.

Nora's soul returned to her body, but she fainted in Michael's arms due to lack of strength. Michael looked at the girl lying in his arms, although he and the priest had successfully expelled the demon possessed by Nora's body, but Nora, who had not yet reconstituted the phantom of personality, was discovered by the archangel, Michael held her and calmly observed the strange Nora, and he inadvertently caught a familiar face from the girl's phantom face.

Nora, who was recovering her strength, was able to get out of bed and walk, and she walked to the window to remember the experience when Michael brought the priest to exorcise demons for herself, and remembered the experience she had dreamed about during the time she was possessed, whether it was all a coincidence.

The weather was so sunny today, and the sun outside the window was incomparably warm on Nora's face, and she planned to go out for a walk by herself to get rid of the evil aura that had been possessed by demons. Nora, who was casually walking on the sunny avenue, looked preoccupied, and didn't know what was pulling her mind to come to a completely unfamiliar church that had long been forgotten and dilapidated. Nora stood in front of the church that had long been unrecognizable, she slowly raised her head to take a closer look, a few memory fragments flashing through her mind. With a mysterious guide to the weed-infested cemetery behind the ruined church, the girl went crazy as if enchanted, and despite how prickly the thorns on the plants were, she stubbornly stretched out her hands and kept pushing them behind her, and her delicate skin was mercilessly cut into wounds.

Nora, who persevered, didn't know how many tombstones covered with vegetation there were, until a familiar name appeared in front of her, she stood in front of this tombstone in a daze, kneeling down in front of it carelessly, tears welling up uncontrollably from her eyes. The girl sobbed silently, dragging her blood-dripping scarred hand tremblingly and stroking the beautiful name on the stele, although she cried, she had a relieved smile on her lips, and her eyes were gentle as if she was admiring a beloved object.

"I heard you asked to see me?" Lucifer appeared silently behind Nora, and judging by his divine powers, he didn't notice anything special about the girl in front of him, maybe she was just a witch who could do a little magic.

"Lucifer, why are you doing this to me?" Nora turned to stare at the Demon King in front of her and slowly rose from the ground, Lucifer never understood why she was crying in front of Lilith's tombstone.

"No, I shouldn't call you Lucifer by the name of the god now, but I should call you Lucifer, the king of hell." Although Nora looked beautiful now, she glared at the god in front of her with a reproachful look.

"How did you know I had two names? Did Azazel leave something in your head that shouldn't exist!? Lucifer looked wickedly at the immortal girl in front of him, and as he slowly approached her, the idea of solving Nora suddenly appeared in his heart.

"How long are you going to run away? Once you Lucifer was willing to submit to the gods for the sake of your children, and fought against the gods in order to be with your lover, but now you are resigned, why is all this?! The Phantom of Nora began to reorganize again, and a variety of figures shuttled through the girl's body, and Lucifer suddenly realized, looking at Nora opposite with some regret in his eyes.

"In that dream, I understood everything." Nora was no longer afraid of Lucifer, and there was more nostalgia in her eyes.

“…… I can't imagine that unintentional possession can let you see what happened in the past, it seems that I was negligent. Hehe......" Lucifer said with a wry smile.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept behind Nora, and Camilla walked haughtily as she watched as Lucifer walked between them.

"If I'm not mistaken, there was just a very eye-catching wedding in heaven...... However, according to the eternal rules of heaven, the married couple must go to the earth at the same time, where they must find each other and fall in love with each other again, so that the two gods can truly be considered to be married in heaven and become husband and wife. Even though Camilla had been gone for a long time, she always remembered all the rules of heaven, and when she spoke of the union of two people in heaven, her eyes instantly lit up as if she was expecting something.

"Long time no see, my beautiful skin." Camilla greeted Nora in front of her with an admiring look.

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Nora cautiously looked at the terrifying Camilla on the other side.

“… Nora...... Hmph, after training in the human world, you actually chose such a name, no matter how many times Lilith is reincarnated, I can capture the most real you hidden from this mortal body! Camilla confidently stared at Lilith beneath Nora's body, standing unhurriedly and smiling.

A sharp pain was transmitted from Nora's neck to her body, and Camilla was reaching out to choke the girl's fragile neck, and then she pushed Nora, who was unable to use her strength, to throw it at the broken wall on the side.

"You care about her so much, I'll let you watch her die in front of you!" Camilla turned her head, and the cold light in the corner of her eye hit Lucifer on the side.

Nora, who was violently hit on the body, fell to the ground dying, she turned her head with difficulty to look at Lucifer who did not make any moves, her eyes were full of pity and helplessness for him, and the flowing water fell again without fighting, how similar this scene was to the experience in her dreams, but it was a pity that the male protagonist was no longer strong, he cowardly hid behind the woman and watched the inaction silently......
