The Holy Bible

~

After clicking on the 'yes' option mentally, his body started to heat up and started to freeze at the same time.

Immediately Rael lost all his power to stand properly as he fell on the soft bed of sand, he really couldn't feel any part of his body, his skin was numb, he crawled towards the withered leaves, it was way too hard to feel his spiritual energy.

He was in a trance-like state as he slowly walked towards the statue.

Time seemed frozen, the only person present was Rael

A surge of power kicked up in the valley and the entire area was filled with holy energy.

It was pure and fleeting, he felt like he was a swan, a graceful creature ready to set off for the skies.

However.

He arrived into nothingness and saw darkness staring at him.

Everything was black utter black. He walked forward for hours, days he couldn't keep track of it.

He was shell-shocked at first, this never happened when he gained false divinity last time!

"How long has it been," He thought but strangely he couldn't comprehend it.

He wasn't feeling tired it was the same how he had been when he entered.

'Why am I having to go inside this fucking abyss again?!'

As Rael was walking in the endless abyss, he saw a small dot of light in the distance, feeling that this was his ticket out he started to run towards it.

Time passed, he could feel the white dot growing larger and larger.

Finally, he reached the light, he stepped in it and the darkness behind him slowly started to fade away, his eyes were captivated by the brightness as they had not adjusted giving him quite a severe headache

.

'Dizzy, it's too bright.' Rael grumbled a bit

Just as if he was going to close his eyes Rael felt a piercing gaze on his body full of curiousness, the aura it was giving out was not hostile but felt dangerous at the same time.

'Is it a God?' Rael wondered as he tried to look at the being but to his dismay, he could only see everything extremely blurry.

He could deduce that the being was humanoid and that he was in a free background but his eyes were starting to feel very heavy, it was hard to keep it open. A bit of water even flowed out from his two pupils due to stress.

Plop

The silver-haired boy fell on his legs, too tired to even take another glance at the woman.

He wondered if he was dying but took that notion out of his mind, maybe this was all just due to exhaustion catching up to him.

The woman didn't care and ran towards the fallen down Rael

Its fingers dug into Rael's back.

She was trembling, and whether it was from ebbing magic or horror, Rael was not sure.

But she held him as if Rael was the only solid thing in the world.

Slowly Rael felt his eyes getting heavier and started to close them.

'I am sleeping...'

~

When Rael opened his eyes he was on a riverbank. Cool water flowed by, eddying around the twigs of a fallen tree branch.

Behind him was a willow tree filled with beautiful flowers. Across the way sat a kingfisher, its blue plumage resplendent it what must be the light of summer, though early in the morning.

He cast his eyes up to find the sun but it wasn't there.

Odd.

Then he recalled running in darkness and that he finally came into the light.

So perhaps he was in a coma, perhaps this was a dream.

Suddenly his hand dipped into the water and brought it out, watching the drips from their ever-increasing circles on impact.

So vivid!

He held his wetted fingers to the air, there was a breeze, just softly.

This was not a dream, this is all real!

His eyes caught a dragonfly briefly before he saw a person coming near him.

"Finally you are awake!"

What Rael saw left him astonished. He saw a beautiful woman in her teens, she had a curvaceous body and was naked, her long brown hair covered her private parts.

She was even more beautiful than the fairies in his homeland.

"Ah sorry! I didn't mean to take this form." The woman said while blushing.

Rael rubbed his eyes and stared at her, he didn't feel ashamed at all and instead admired her body from top to bottom.

Then Rael's eyes saw the scenes in front of him like polymorphing.

White light erupted from her body and slowly the being's body was getting melted to form a snake.

The snake was long and looked majestic and gave off the dreadful feeling of death. Her eyes were ruby-like and we're bright golden in color.

The snake feeling awkward stared at Rael coldly.

Rael found his calmness back and asked

"Who are you?"

"I am the mother-in-law of Yahweh."

The snake felt awkward and started.

"Ah let me explain from the beginning"

He stared at the snake who could express her emotions through the air in the atmosphere and could talk.

"You have the purest Angel Bloodline that I have seen in a long while, your bloodline is as pure as the Ancestral Angel God, Yahweh."

Rael frowned a bit, but gradually accepted it, he wasn't that shocked, he had thought that his bloodline was as pure as the Angel God, Samael's but he didn't expect that it would be even purer.

'My bastard of a father sure was lucky!!'

"Although I didn't really expect that it would be you who would arrive over here." The woman said in a low voice, her voice particular warm and of sorrow.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Rael asked, he was a bit confused.

The woman's face was a bit red and her peachy teeth were frustratingly biting her lips, this action confused Rael a bit.

"N-no." She furiously denied it, she sighed a bit and turned to look at the silver-haired boy who was looking at her confused with longing eyes.

"Alright." Rael looked at the woman weirdly who once again transformed into a snake after biting her lips.

"So what did you call me here for? If I am right then I was in a process of divinity so I normally shouldn't have come here."

The snake nodded in a slitter,

"I want you to accept a legacy."

Rael frowned at her words, a legacy was something very different, it was exactly like accepting divinity from a God, the difference was that a legacy would accept the great achievements which would empower the person.

"Why should I even accept it?" Rael chuckled, looking at the snake as if she was joking.

But the snake looked at him grimly showing that she was totally serious.

"You are the best candidate to inherit his Legacy"

Rael stared at her with stern eyes, she explained her reason but it wasn't really a real reason.

You didn't answer my question, why should I accept it?"

She sighed, anxiety was taking an upper hand over her, that's why she had transformed into a snake but it still didn't work.

"You have the purest angel bloodline as I said before, identical to the Angel Progenitor, Ancestral Angel God, Yahweh."

"Whose Legacy?"

He asked hesitantly bit caring about his bloodline, after all, he wouldn't just accept anyone's legacy, also the fact that when one accepts the legacy they are supposed to accomplish the duty which comes along with it.

As an old man once said, with great power comes great responsibility.

Nothing is free in this world.

"The Angel God Legacy, The Holy Bible..." She said awkwardly not daring to look into his eyes.

Rael stared at the woman in front of him.

'What did she just say...?'

A delicious shiver ran down his spine, like a bolt of electricity. Thin lips curved into a sly smirk and equally thin eyes crinkled at the edges.

Rael's pupils constricted and widened to the extent that white sclerae surrounded the violet irises.

The boy turned around and fixed his gaze on the snake who had now transformed into her humanoid form.

Rael tilted his head back and cackling with brutal, malicious laughter - the laughter of a madman.

"Do you take me for a fool?"
