Chapter 12

My next friend is Anna. It is a hybrid of the four races. He is 1/4 human and 1/4 Angel in one. Her mother was the Daughter of an Archangel and Ancient Expert, but her father was the opposite, he was a Fallen Angel who is half undead. So Anna is 1/4 undead and 1/4 Fallen Angel. Fallen Angels are another form that an Angel can find itself in.

These angels have lost themselves, losing their element of light, which angels are known for, in favor of the element of light.

This makes them go to the side of darkness are on a par with beings such as demons or the undead who are enemies of all light factions to which they belong Angels.

After the transformation, the Fallen Angel is much stronger than the regular Angel, but their number is also much smaller.

They are suppressed and pursued by beings that are on the side of the light faction as much as the undead.

Runwaria, Anna's mother, was kidnapped by her father Pirra after Archangel Wenra, Anna's grandmother, refused to agree to the relationship.

They went to the undead dimension, where Pirra hid with Runwaria. Although it is difficult for angels, including the fallen and the undead, to have offspring, Runwari and Pirra somehow managed.

The pregnancy lasted as long as 7 years, which is already short for Ancient experts like Runwaria and Pirra.

Childbirth was incredibly difficult. This led to a critical state of Runwaria, who sacrificed herself with the last of her strength, giving all her essence of life to Anna.

Anna turned out to be unique because she inherited two amazing abilities, one allows her to wield low light beings, which means that everyone associated with light will see her as a saint.

The second skill is quite the opposite, since it gains favor with all undead and none of them will attack it unless they start the battle themselves, otherwise the low-ranking undead will obey it.

She can be said to be a saint on the light and dark side.

Soon after her birth, her grandmother sensed her daughter's death, which made him furious, and flew almost immediately, breaking through the space. Anna's father handed her over to a trusted subordinate and ordered him to protect her.

Anna was born as a semi-natural heavenly being, which put her standard of living on a completely different level.

Even so, she was very weak at birth and could not be called a naturally born heavenly being.

The servant departed as ordered and looked after Anna until she was fully self-sufficient, after which she fell to dust, for that was the last assignment given to him by his master. Pirra, on the other hand, fought a battle with Wenra to distract from his daughter.

He had no chance of winning with Wenra, who, as an Archangel, was the pinnacle of existence among the Angels.

He died in battle, but managed to pass his source and wealth to his servant before his death, who later passed it on to his daughter when she was self-sufficient.

As for Anna, she could develop without any major obstacles in the undead dimension. None of the smaller skeletons that could be counted in the billions attacked her.

Thanks to her standard of living and the decline of her father, she grew rapidly, becoming the Peak King of the Angels in just 200 years.

With this power, she was able to better understand the ancient Litch and other powers on the undead plane. She traveled a lot around the set, visiting many places, earning the title of a traveler.

All of this happened at a time when the Dawn War was in the foreground. Although Anna heard about it, she never took part in any fights related to her.

Eventually, through an agreement with the three kings of the undead, she settled on a piece of land creating a so-called neutral land.

There were entries in the books where one of the three natural lands on the undead plan was mentioned.

In early ancient times, when exploring the dimension of the undead, humans often stopped at this neutral location.

It was said that the lower undead in this place were dormant and would not attack unless provoked, and the place itself was guarded by an ancient expert.

Eventually, for unknown reasons, someone attacked this place and, surprisingly, it was a human. He was from the faction of the Golden Alliance, which was considered a lunatic faction and would have been destroyed long ago if it hadn't had powerful support.

As many as 8 ancient experts who attacked Anna came there.

It was a fierce battle in which 5 were killed, one barely survived and the other two were wounded.

Anna, on the other hand, fell into a critical state which was exploited, they sealed her in diamond and sent her to the master plan.

Unfortunately, no one ever told the truth about what really happened, probably the other three experts could not stand the fact that they were almost defeated despite their numerical advantage.

Thanks to them, the knowledge that an expert is sealed in a diamond, and that for experts such a diamond will be most useful as an ornament, it was given to a jewelry store.

There was a low-quality shop, and one of the most famous shops in the town of the Imbra River. The city was on the heavenly continent and ranked ninth most popular.

It was located on the Imbra River and was the only such city, because the Imbra River was extremely dangerous and no city in the vicinity could withstand even a week being constantly attacked by the monsters inhabiting it.

The city itself can only survive because the city's ruler has made a pact with several river kings, and in return for their mutual benefits, they will cooperate and protect the city.

The store itself belonged to the old King of Angels, who, through his wounds, could not demonstrate his full power, reaching the maximum of the Holy Kingdom. In addition to jewelry, he sold magical equipment, but more ornate, which was more suited to give someone as a gift or show up at some parties to impress than to fight with him.

The store survived all this time, despite a very long time, the owner and the name had changed many times, but there was still a diamond with a sealed Anna in the warehouse.

It was like that until, and exactly when, I acquired this store by becoming its owner.

I received it from a nobleman in return for helping me eliminate his enemy.

Once, while browsing a store's warehouse, I noticed a diamond, although there was nothing special about it, my intuition told me that it was not that simple, that there was some mystery in it.

After a short check, I found nothing, so I decided to do some experiments on it. Eventually, using a few techniques to check seals on artifacts, I found out that there was something sealed inside.

I used one of the more forgotten techniques, it belonged to an Ancient Mage who specialized in seals but had no descendants or any apprentice.

It only left an inheritance that remained intact until I was able to find it one time. After the diamond was unsealed, Anna emerged from it, who was quite confused and had no idea what was going on.

I myself was surprised, I thought that there would be an object inside, not a living being. Just by how old the seal was and the power Anna was emitting when she released her, I could estimate the original power she had before sealing, and that was the Ancient Kingdom.

As soon as I heard her story and answered a few questions, I decided to help her. At this point, I had the strength of a Mythical Expert and Anna was at the level of the Emperor, so the difference in strength was huge.

Even so, she was able to catch up with me within 10 years which showed that she was a very strong expert before she was sealed.

Later, thanks to her help, I was able to safely explore the undead dimension and do business with the creatures inhabiting that place.

It was very helpful for me, with time I became friends with Anna, I told her about me, which made her feel a shock, from which it was difficult to shake off.

Also, during one of my important experiments, which allowed me to open a new path and gain more power, Anna defended the place where I was in front of people who were then ill-disposed towards me and tried not to kill me.

Ultimately, she defeated the tenants, losing her life in the process.

Before her death, there were no bad emotions on her face before my eyes, only a smile, a smile that I remember very well.

The last words before her death came out of her mouth, and they were "Until next time".

This is also how Anna became my close friend.

As for her appearance, she has very beautiful features that reflect the charm from the Angel's side, her golden hair reaches her shoulders, and she wears a black headband.

Her eyes are blue, but if you look closely, you can see a little red light inside, and this is the only evidence that she is somewhat undead.
