Gabriella Gamorian II

Gabriella rolled up her sleeves. Took a deep breath staring down at Hades.

The head nun rushed in with a large box, "This is the one? It's quite heavy." She said panting.

"Go bring me warm water and towels, hurry," Gabriella said in a calm voice.

She opened the box, gold glittered from inside. It contained several tens of gold coins, gold cubs, and rings. Chains and jewelry, and even some fabric with gold engraving.

Gabriella grabbed a small bottle of gold-infused nail paint from the box and put it to the side. She also took a bottle of gold dust, jewels, and five gold coins.

The head nun entered with a bowl of warm water, "Is this enough?"

Gabriella stared at the bowl and smiled, "More than enough." She then thoroughly washed.

"Get him ready and bring his severed hand, I will start immediately." She quickly painted her nails and took a deep breath.

"All ten? Are you sure?" The head nun gasped seeing Gabriella paint all of her nails.

"Used to only one or two?" Gabriella smiled staring down at Hades.

"I heard you used five…" The head nun stared at her with disbelief.

Gabriella used the gold dust to draw a circle around Hades's severed hand.

"I never needed to use more, this time it's different." Gabriella stared at the knight that was guarding Hades. "How did he get injured like this?"

The knight gulped, this must be for healing. She needs to know how he was injured to be able to heal him well…that's it, right?

"This night we all went to sleep, yet he heard a scream far away in the city and rushed to check it out. Turn it was the kidnapper group that has been plaguing us for over a year." The knight stopped for a moment as he saw Gabriella's expression change.

"He fought alone?"

"No, Captain Cael followed him. But apparently, Hades started killing the kidnapper immediately after engaging with them. In the end, they left two survivors, one was sent back to lord Ginis and the other got tortured on the spot for the hideout information." The knight froze as he saw Gabriella smile.

"Efficient, even in his current condition. He keeps pushing forward."

"After that, they headed to the kidnappers' hideout. Hades charged immediately and started taking them down. I saw him fight, he punched the bandit leader as if he was a doll." The knight said remember Cain punching the bandit leader with [Repulsion] over and over.

"I see…if he went above and beyond, why shouldn't I?" gold thread extended from her nails and into Hades's wound. The gold dust flew into a cloud of sparking light as she focused down.

As Gabriella started healing Hades she noticed something, most of her holy magic disappeared the moment it touched Hades's body.

She made a surprised look, 'Let's increase the output a little." The gold light around her intensified.

It happened again, it was as if the holy magic got erased the moment it went it. The total effectiveness of her magic on healing him was about a fourth.

'He's erasing holy magic? No, that's not it, his body must be starving for it. It desires holy magic so it absorbs it the moment it gets in.' Gabriella clenched her teeth and increased her output.

The golden light around her suddenly intensified even more blinding the knight guarding Hades. The nun quickly covered her eyes, "What are you doing?" She cried.

"This is harder than I expected, I might have to push beyond [High heal]" Gabriella smiled, golden lines covering her pale arms, "[Regeneration], this should do it…" The golden lines extending from her nails to Hades's body became thicker as her light became stronger.

…

The devil was watching from her dimension, "Ara, what a monster. Using brute force and leaving her mind away, she is stupid but talented." She stared down with an intrigued smile.

"It's my magic in him that is eating away your holy magic. Can't you feel it, I guess this is for the better." The devil relaxed on her chair and kept watching.

"…But damn that output. If people were goats, she is a bull. It's rare to see someone like her…Should I kill her now with a backlash…or let Hades use her and then kill her at the end…" She started thinking…

She stood up with a smile, "She is more useful than to kill now, she will make sure little Hades stays alive."

After thinking for a while, the devil sat on the ground cross-legged scratching her head. "Fifteen thousand souls from the Raiba Island, that old fart, and a bit more…roughly eighteen thousand…Probably it's fine to waste some on cosmetics."

The devil finally made her decision and lifted her hand, "Come on little golden girl, don't die immediately…"

…

Gabriella suddenly felt her holy magic disappearing at an even faster rate. Her consciousness started to fade as the golden light surrounding her body started to flicker.

"Are you all right!" The nun screamed, this was an obvious problem. A sign that the holy magic was rapidly going out of control and it could kill the user.

"Am, fine…" Gabriella growled, "I just need…to push…a little…harder!" The light got stronger again and Gabriella started bleeding from her nose, her nails seemed on the verge of falling off and the veins on her arms started becoming visible.

After a few seconds, BAM! The holy magic shattered and Gabriella got flung into the wall coughing blood.

"Sister Gabriella!" The head nun screamed rushing to her.

"Haha, Hahe! Not perfect but, not too shabby…" A smile akin to evil crossed her face as she stared at Hades, his hand have reattached and some muscles have built up on his body.

A golden symbol, a three-headed dog the size of a golden coin glowed on Hades's chest… "Guard dog, guess he I was right…" she barely managed to stand up with the head nun's help.

"What happened? Are you both all right?" The knight finally asked.

"Yeah…better than ever…" Gabriella stared at her hand, a golden chain symbol was burned there.

The head nun stared at it in awe, "Is that?"

Gabriella smiled, "Yeah…he's a Valkyrie…and from now, I'm his supporter." She started giggling.

"Did you make that? He's definitely…" Before the nun could start yelling, Gabriella lifted her hand.

"I didn't, it appeared on its own. Probably since I was able to offer some measure of healing to his damaged body I was recognized as a supporter…" Gabriella stated. She wasn't lying, the symbols appeared on their own.

"So that means…" The knight wasn't following up. "I will be his personal healer, at least until he dismisses me for a better healer." Gabriella smiled, falling head first on the ground unconscious.

…

"Done and done…just an idiot after a dumb one. Well, those aren't that high up the ladder to know better…" The devil smiled, satisfied with her handy work.

She then weaved her finger and conjured a small ball of energy "And some modification to the kid, just a small message to convince him to keep her close."

The devil stared down, the head nun was carrying Gabriella to her room while the knight and some other nuns cleaned the place. Everything was working fine and progressing well.

"Come on little Hades…you still have a long way ahead of you to kill that maniac at the top." The devil smiled, sitting back on her throne.
