Chapter 8

I stood outside my cell for three hours. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lucifer may have noticed me a long time ago, and he said, "Alex, don't hide anymore, since you're already here, why don't you come out generously?"

I walked out of the shadows outside the prison door.

Gabriel looked at me, and she blamed herself, "I regret going to war with you, I don't deserve to be an angel, I'm really sorry! The bloodbath of Rosenborg Manor has nothing to do with me, it was Asmodeus." ”

"Don't blame yourself anymore, I believe you are a good girl, after you were betrayed by other angels, I really feel sorry for you, I forgive you. But your men have killed several of us, and some of my companions have a grudge against you, and for your safety you must leave at once and go in search of your own party. ”

"Where are you going for me to go? I'm no different from a wanderer now, Asmodeus has betrayed me, he's on his own initiative, even if your people forgive me, once I leave this castle, I'm going to be plotted, Asmodeus' eyes are probably watching around here. ”

"Gabriel. Lucifer said, "I'll escort you out." ”

"Do you think I'm afraid of death? I just don't want to leave you. ”

"Obedient, Gabriel, I want you to reach Heaven safe and sound. ”

"I didn't expect to be so down. ”

"Don't be angry, it's already dawn, I'll send you to the gate of heaven. ”

Gabriel's eyes were full of tears and sincerity, and he looked reluctant, "I will come to see you often." ”

"I will always miss you, and if there is a problem, I will do my best to help you out. ”

Through a conversation between the two of them, I deeply realized that love is not to be together forever, sometimes I can only watch from a distance and read silently.

I led them out of the prison and onto the wide platform of the castle. Fallen angels waiting for Lucifer were like crows on the roof and spire of the castle. Gabriel could finally feel the fresh air and the singing of birds, and Lucifer planned to personally escort her to Heaven.

"My friend. I said, "I can only send you here, good luck!"

Lucifer shook my hand, "I'll have to send Gabriel back first." ”

"I wish you all the best!"

Just as they were about to leave, a voice came from a mountain not far away: "What a touching, an angel fell in love with a devil." ”

Gabriel suddenly raised his alarm, "It's Asmodeus. ”

After a breeze, I saw a large dense black dot gradually pressing towards this side from the peak not far away. It appears that Asmodeus has gathered more troops, possibly three times as many as the Fallen Angels. But the momentum of the army of fallen angels was not overwhelmed by Asmodeus's formidable formation. Instead, Lucifer said, "That's a lot, and it's exactly what I want." Alex, you hurry into the castle, this matter has nothing to do with you, I'll leave it to me. ”

"But...... "I can't make up my mind, and I really want to help him defeat the enemy together."

"Didn't you hear? ”

"Okay. I hid in the house. Still peeking out in the dark as before.

Asmodeus' army soon surrounded the castle, and he and several archangels boldly stood in front of Lucifer, "Lucifer, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, and Gabriel, a traitor. ”

Gabriel drew his sword and pointed it at Asmodeus, saying, "I was looking for you." She was about to attack, but Lucifer stopped her.

Lucifer took a step closer to Asmodeus, "Is this your entire army?

Asmodeus laughed, "Don't be confused, what about the Dark Elemental Fragments?" ”

"I'm so sorry, I don't know. ”

"I don't know, how could you not know? Tell me, I spared you and your girlfriend. ”

"You're threatening me?"

"Am I threatening you, stop going around in circles with me, hand over your stuff or ......," Asmodeus said, flashing his double-edged axe.

Lucifer, on the other hand, seems calm, and his long life in hell makes him scoff at these symbolic things. He smiled contemptuously, "What else would you do?"

"Don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"It's up to you, you self-righteous fellow, and when I was in the heavens, your name wasn't on the roll call. ”

"Less nonsense, the dark elemental fragments are here, do you want to hand them over or not?"

"Even if the fragment is in my hands, do you think I will give it to you? Your identity and status are not worthy of showing off in front of me, you ...... It's just a bed bug, and I feel undignified to talk to you. ”

"What did you say?" Asmodeus, enraged, pointed his double-edged axe at Lucifer, "it seems that you are really impatient. ”

"Take away your dirty axe, what right do you have to teach me here? You are but an angel, and I am a god, one man under ten thousand people, you should pay homage to the gods before you, you should have knelt down and talked to me. It should also be a great honor for the group of angels behind you to come face to face with me. ”

"Well, it seems that you can only pray for your soul. Asmodeus retreated to the front of the Angel's army, commanding his army and shouting, "Kill them all, not one of them will be left." ”

With Asmodeus' order, the angelic army swarmed up. Lucifer did not show weakness, he led his army of fallen angels to fight each other head-on, and the two sides fought to the death in an instant.

Gabriel was in search of one target in battle, and that was Asmodeus. She quickly found Asmodeus, and the two left no stone unturned in a desperate struggle.

Raphael and Uriel knew the times, and instead of helping Asmodeus, they retreated to the dense spruce forest with the part of the army under their control. In this way, Asmodeus' army entered into a close contest with the army of the Fallen Angels.

In order to help his army and wipe out Asmodeus's army in one fell swoop, Lucifer recited a spell, and thunderstorm clouds gradually appeared in the clear sky, and a rain of meteorite fire fell in the sky, and the fire rain fell into the surrounding dense forest, turning into some skeleton angels dressed in armor and covered in blue flames, which Lucifer called "the most evil angels". He uttered another incantation, and suddenly there was a Katatumbo lightning bolt in the air, and a bolt of lightning struck a nearby hill, and I saw a giant made of countless pieces of broken stone rise from the ground, fifty meters high, and I could feel the ground shaking as I ran. The giant angrily rushed at Asmodeus' army, causing the angelic army to be thrown into disarray, and many angels fighting in the air were stoned down by the giant.

The giant easily uprooted a cedar tree, held it in his hand and waved it back, knocking back Asmode's army like wheat harvesting.

Some archangels cried out in horror: "Hill giants, everyone pay attention to concealment. ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Asmodeus tried to escape, and flew into the dense woods with several angels. Gabriel quickly caught up with him, knocking down the angels who were following him, just teaching them a lesson, with no intention of harming them. Finally, she stood in front of Asmodeus, "I didn't expect that you actually started this war that shouldn't have happened." ”

"I just want to get the job done. Asmodeus quibbled.

"It's up to you to decide what to do. ”

"You're helping our enemies. ”

"Enemy, we, you just said 'we', so why did you betray me?"

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Asmodeus, it looks like I'm going to have to teach you a lesson today. ”

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

The two showed their weapons and engaged in a one-on-one duel. At first, the two men were on a par, but when Gabriel gained the upper hand, Asmodeus suffered several minor injuries and his weapon was knocked out, and he was soon forced to sit under a large tree and wait for his death. Just as Gabriel was about to strike him the fatal blow, a crossbow bolt flew from the depths of the forest, striking her in the arm, causing her to lose her weapon, followed by another arrow, which pierced her calf, and she fell to her knees, unable to fight any further. Asmodeus, on the other hand, hid behind a large tree and did not dare to show his head. Who's shooting the arrow in the shadows? None of us know.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently. The hungry serpent also came out of the ground and flew into the air to help Lucifer.

For Gabriel's safety, I sneaked out of a small door in the castle and rescued her. Due to the hidden arrows in the depths of the forest, I had to temporarily move her to a densely wooded area and hide with the help of the surrounding vegetation.

At this moment, Isabel jumped out of nowhere, holding a submachine gun and keeping me safe.

Gabriel endured severe pain and pulled out the two arrows stuck in his body, and then sneaked a glance at Asmodeus, which was hidden under another large tree.

During this time, we didn't dare to show our heads, we just wanted to wait until the end of this battle.

A quarter of an hour...... Half-hour......

The sounds of fighting around me became quieter, and I peered out into the brutal battlefield from behind the bushes, only to see that Asmodeus's army was quickly surrounded by Lucifer's army because of lack of assistance, some of the archangels had surrendered to Lucifer, and some were still fighting.

At this moment, a golden light pierced through the dark clouds and fell directly to the earth, and the ground covered by that golden light quickly sprouted plant sprouts. I thought, "Is it the Savior who has come?" and I saw a blonde, blue-eyed, white-winged angel descending from the clouds above the golden light, majestic and beautiful, and seemingly with invincible magic. He was clad in golden dragon scale armor and armed with a cross sword, and his blue eyes were full of courage and unwavering faith. Under the expulsion of this golden light, the extremely evil angels gradually turned into fine dust and disappeared. Under the illumination of this golden light, the hill giant instantly lost its combat effectiveness and quickly turned into a pile of rubble.

Lucifer rode the serpent in an invincible posture and shuttled through the clouds, and when he saw the blonde angel, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Michael, I knew you would appear." ”

It turned out to be Michael, and it was such an honor to have seen so many archangels in my life. Michael flew to the middle of the battlefield and raised the golden sword in his hand, quickly stopping the bloodshed and sacrifice, and the battle quickly stopped.

When the armies of both sides were returned to their respective armies, and Asmodeus returned to the army, Michael looked at him and said, "Your selfishness will bring you to the judgment seat." ”

Asmodeus had a look of disbelief on his face.

Michael turned his gaze back to Lucifer, "Lucifer, the war is over, please put away your blood-stained weapon." ”

Lucifer smiled and said, "What do you mean by bringing your sword?

"No, you're completely wrong, this war shouldn't have happened, and Asmodeus bears a large part of the blame. ”

"What's wrong with what I'm doing?" Asmodeus interjected innocently, "I'm here to get rid of the vampires who stole the Dark Elemental Fragments, is it wrong?" I thought Gabriel would fight to the death with the enemy without mercy, but she had already fallen in love with Lucifer, which shows that she is a traitor. ”

Asmodeus' words angered Lucifer, who showed his double-edged sword and warned Asmodeus: "If you dare to say one more word, I swear I will make you die a miserable death at once." ”

In order to avoid the situation from getting worse, Michael made a shut-up gesture to Asmodeus and said to him, "Now you have no place to speak, Asmodeus. ”

"Michael, what the hell do you want to do?" Lucifer asked.

"I'm just here to persuade today, in fact, there is no need for this conflict at all, all of this is caused by the dark element fragments, I can tell you now, even if the most important fragment of the dark element is found, it must be combined with the previous fragments, even if it is really combined, no one can control its potential power. Therefore, no matter whether the most important piece of the dark element is found or not, the result is meaningless to anyone, and since it is meaningless, we might as well give up and let it become people's fantasy forever. ”

"I'm not interested in the shards you're talking about, the point is that your men are so unruly, that bug named Asmodeus betrayed their captain Gabriel, and she was almost killed. ”

"Because she rebelled against the kingdom of heaven. Asmodeus retorted, "Michael, do you want to see her become a second Lucifer?" ”

"Nonsense. Lucifer was enraged, and whenever he mentioned his expulsion from heaven, he would be angry, "Some archangels are jealous of me, and so are you, you don't want to see me grow, you don't want me to be above you, you join forces against me, and in the end your goal is achieved, and what do you get?" He immediately calmed down again, "That's fine, I'm the king of hell, I don't have to be bound anymore, and you'll just be a slave forever." ”

"Do you want to fight with me? ”

"Asmodeus. Michael shouted, "You are no match for him, you can only be sent to death if you go up." ”

Lucifer smiled faintly, "Michael, are you my opponent?"

"I didn't mean that, now you go back to your hell right now, never come here, let's go back to heaven. ”

"And what about Gabriel, will you abandon her?"

"Of course not. ”

Gabriel's wounds were almost healed, and Isabel and I led her out of the woods to Lucifer's side. "I'm coming. Gabriel said.

Lucifer saw the wounds on Gabriel's arms and legs and was heartbroken, "You're hurt. ”

"A little injury, out of the way. She didn't care about her wounds or who was the one who fired the cold arrow at her in the depths of the forest. She glared at Asmodeus, then said to Michael, "Michael, are you here to get me back?"

"I don't mean that, go back to Heaven, you still do your thing, I still do mine, Asmodeus must be judged. Michael said.

"He led a war that shouldn't have happened, and he deserved to be sentenced to death. ”

"You can't get out of it. Asmodeus said, "Because you are in love with a sinful fallen angel." ”

"What can this be?"

"Gabriel, Asmodeus is right. Michael said, "Your archangel's position is likely to be lost, and it could be worse." ”

Gabriel couldn't believe it was true, "Why? Is it that serious?" I just wanted to avoid a bad fight, and I tried my best to persuade Lucifer to stop. ”

Lucifer couldn't stand it anymore, "It's not fair, Asmodeus is the one who is responsible, and without him, all the bloodshed would not have happened." ”

"I can't do that. Michael said, "Well, now it's time for us to go back, and you should get ready, Gabriel and Asmodeus." ”

"If you want to leave, I'm afraid it's not that easy. Lucifer's face froze, and suddenly became serious.

"What do you mean?" Michael, surprised.

"Lucifer. Gabriel advised him not to be impulsive.

"Don't stop him, see what he wants?"

He immediately unfurled his imposing six wings, showed a terrifying double-edged sword, and provoked Michael: "Michael, you are ready to die, since you are the archangel, then you will definitely not be afraid of me, do you dare to come?"

Michael also spread his wings, flashed his glittering crosssword, and rushed towards Lucifer without hesitation.

Suddenly, the serpent blocked Michael's path, and the serpent opened its mouth like a man-eating flower and swallowed the unsuspecting Michael in one gulp. At that moment, the surrounding archangels were stunned, including Gabriel. Some of the fallen angels thought Michael had been eaten, and they jumped for joy. Lucifer didn't smile at all, he knew that Michael wouldn't die so easily. Suddenly, the serpent's abdomen ruptured, revealing the tip of Michael's crosssword, and stomach acid gushed out of the crack. Michael broke through the serpent's body and slashed and stabbed at various vital parts of the serpent. Eventually, his cross sword stabbed deep into the serpent's head. The serpent groaned and fell, slamming down the hillside with a loud bang, and Michael landed firmly on the ground, looking very calm. The body of the serpent gradually turned into a cloud of black smoke and spun into a black sphere in mid-air like a tornado, and a hideous face formed by the smoke appeared in the black ball, mixed with screams, and some distorted postures and painful expressions could be seen. The black ball grew smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into a puff of air.

When Lucifer saw that the serpent he had raised for many years had been killed so easily by Michael, he was very unwilling to say, "Michael, you have made much progress than before. ”

Michael also assumed a battle posture to Lucifer.

I immediately climbed a nearby tree and watched the battle between heaven and hell.

In this battle, no one dares to come forward. The battle began, with little defensive action on either side, and everything around seemed to have frozen except for the "clanging" sound of their weapons colliding.

The two are not up or down, and once which unlucky guy hits the trick first, he will definitely die. After a few rounds of fighting, Lucifer feigned that he did not dare to continue fighting, and flew into the dense forest, where Michael chased after him.

In the course of the fight, their weapons cut down rows of trees around them like wheat cuts, and many of the thick trunks had been cut into knots. Suddenly, a strong wind blew around, dark clouds rolled in the air, and lightning flashed and thundered.

Michael leapt to his feet and slashed at Lucifer with his crosssword, who shrewdly parried the fatal blow with his double-edged sword. Due to the unusually strong double-edged sword of Lucifer, Michael's hand trembled slightly from the shock, and the cross sword almost slipped from his hand.

The two sides distanced themselves, and a blue electric light from hell appeared on Lucifer's double-edged sword, while Michael's cross sword shone with a golden light from heaven, and the two sides stopped fighting for a while.

"If you did kill me, would you help me get Gabriel to be spared trial?" Lucifer asked.

Michael paused and said, "I can't be the master of this." ”

"You're deliberately not calling the shots. ”

"Unless Gabriel kills you herself, her sins can be forgiven. ”

"Really?"

"It's just a bold guess. ”

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

"I don't have to fool you. ”

"Do you want to keep trying?"

"What do you say?"

"What else do you want me to say?"

"You could have killed me, but you didn't, why is that? Do you want to atone for your sins? No, you'll never be able to go back to Heaven. ”

"I don't want to go back either. With that, Lucifer stuck his double-edged sword into the ground.

"Don't think I'll let you go if you give me a few tricks. ”

"Let's do it. ”

"Then don't blame me for being rude. Michael rushed up like a gale, and I didn't even have time to see it.

After a muffled sound, I saw a large tree shake violently a few times, and large branches and leaves fell from the tree. Lucifer was dead, was stabbed to death by Michael, and I tried to look closely, and when I looked closely, it turned out that Michael was just pushing him against the tree with his hand, but the cross sword was stuck a few centimeters away from his neck. Did he not have the courage to do it, or did Lucifer use his mana to take away his power?

Lucifer smiled slightly, "What's wrong? Is the stab off? Or is it soft? But it doesn't matter, you can make up for it again, I won't dodge." ”

Michael drew his sword, "You go, Lucifer." ”

"You could have killed me. ”

"Kill you? kill you...... Gabriel will never be happy, and she will be like you one day. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will regroup and counterattack the kingdom of heaven?"

"You won't, I think you're content to have hell, and once you're dead, hell will become even more disorderly, and the monsters in hell will lose their common leader, and they'll plague humans like some rabid dogs. Once you die, all the evil and injustice in the world will go unpunished, and only you can stop the spread of savage violence. Michael pulled out the double-edged sword stuck in the ground and returned it to Lucifer, "Take your weapon well." Remember, your sword is for punishing the wicked, and I hope you don't show it casually. ”

"I promise you, will you promise to help Gabriel be exempted from trial?"

"I'm afraid this can't be, I said, I can't be the master. ”

Gabriel came up and said, "Michael, I beg you not to be him anymore, I will go back with you, and everything I have done has nothing to do with Lucifer." ”

"Gabriel. Lucifer hurriedly said, "You are innocent." ”

"Say no more, Lucifer, I understand your heart!"

"Gabriel, now...... Please come back with me. Michael said.

Gabriel gave Lucifer a hug, "We'll meet again." She kissed Lucifer on the mouth, "I'm gone, don't worry about me." With tears in her eyes, she turned and walked towards Michael.

"Wait. Lucifer shouted, "Is it true that no one can help you? Everyone present was shocked by his move.

"No!" Gabriel was so grieved that tears welled up in her eyes as she ran to Lucifer, "how can you do this, my dear? Why do you cut off such wings?" she fell to her knees, wept bitterly, and tried to pick up the two wings on the ground, but they melted away like snow and covered the surface.

Lucifer wiped Gabriel's tears from his eyes, "It's okay, my dear! ”

"Why are you doing this?" said Gabriel, with tears in her face, as she looked at Lucifer sadly.

Michael's heart was also extremely heavy, and in the face of the high price Lucifer paid, there was no reason why he should not agree to help Gabriel avoid judgment. He sighed and finally agreed to Lucifer: "I promise you, I will do my best." ”

Lucifer comforted Gabriel: "It's okay, my dear, at least you don't have to be judged, it's just a little favor from me, for you, even if I pay the price of my life, I am willing, I swear that I will never let you suffer a little grievance!

"Don't say anything. Gabriel cried and said, "I will stay with you forever." ”

"What? I cut off my wings so that you can continue to be your archangel, and if you don't go back, won't my efforts be in vain? ”

Michael is also constantly comforting Gabriel: "Lucifer is all for you, if you don't return to heaven, his blood will be shed in vain, I really envy his concern for you, I will do my best to intercede for you and save you from judgment." ”

"Go away, my dear!" said Lucifer, stroking Gabriel's face, "and I will have no regrets even if I die to see you again." ”

"But I'm leaving...... I don't know when I'll see you again. Gabriel said.

"We'll meet again. Lucifer kissed her forehead, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

"Take care!"

The thunder and lightning died down, and thousands of rays of sunlight shone through the silver-gray clouds to the ground.

Gabriel reluctantly waved goodbye to us, and her tears fell to the ground, where several bright wildflowers soon grew. Lucifer picked one and put it in front of his eyes, and after a gentle breeze, the petals were blown into the air and drifted into the distance.

Michael also flew with Gabriel and the angels to the sunniest place in the distance, and finally disappeared above the golden clouds.
