Few hours ago
The environment was pitch black no the only source of light was from the sun which was very far away.
The figures were seen floating on the air as their gaze were focused on earth.
And reading the atmosphere there were previously discussing some pressing issues
The unique characteristics these figures shared was their white pale skin, white hair and white wings at their backs,
But the one floating at their centre had 2 pairs of wings at his back, he also had blue crystal like eyes and a face which showed no emotional attachment on it. He wore white robes with and had golden bracelets on both arms
"Let me go chief, I'm sure I can retrieve the key and besides there are just mere humans what can they possibly do against us"
"Be quite Domiel, it's because of your pride we got this mission in the first place"
"What do you know Eremiel?"
Domiel had short white hair, red eyes, and tattoo markings on top of his eyes brows, he carried a golden sword on his waist and wore knee length robes
Eremiel wore the same attire, but the only difference was that his robes were long and he had short white hair a lazy looking dimeneor and tattoo markings all over his hands
"Silence both of you"
The both of immediately shut their mouth and payed maximum attention
"Domiel, go track the key down and retrieve the key, if he proves hostile I don't need to tell you what to do"
The angel at the middle spoke with valor
"Yes chief"
Domiel responds and then flaps his wings and zooming towards earths direction
Presently
"That's right, I am Domiel, one of the eight prime angels who work directly under the four divine chiefs, as I told you I am here to retrieve the key and any useless attempt you make now can cost you your life and the lifes of everyone in this kingdom and this kingdom itself"
Domiel says looking at Rei who was deep in thought
'What should I do'
Rei thought in his mind
'I need to evacuate everyone out of this location, but how can I do it without this guy interfering, and Maria is still in a shock, I wish Shin was here'
As if Shin was in his mind Shin used ~Gate~ to teleport himself to their location
"Nii-San I came as soon I felt it"
Shin said
"Nice timing, Shin I need you to take the residents of this area out of here including Maria"
Rei said to Shin
"Understood"
Shin turns to Maria
"Maria we need to get out of here now"
"And leave Rei?"
"Yes, I'm sure he will figure out something"
Shin says looking at the angel
"I can't leave Rei here"
Maria revolts firmly which attracted Rei attention
Rei then looks at Shin and gives him a light nod. Shin looks at Maria's eyes
"I'm sorry Maria but this is for your own good"
He gives her light jab making her to pass out, Rei then looks and Shin and gives him some serious warnings
"Shin make sure you evacuate all the civilians from this area, make sure no one interes not even grandpa or grandma and finally make sure you protect Maria and my student, I'll try my best to be back immediately I'm done"
Rei says
"Dont you die Nii-san"
Shin reply before zooming off
"Now that Shin was gone Rei payed his full attention to the enemy in front of him, he began to think of ways to buy time for Shin to finish evacuating the people around...
"I know you want to buy time for the evacuation process to be complete, so I'm going to make it easy for, ask me any questions you want to ask after all I didn't come here to kill I just came here to retrieve the key"
Domiel says as though he was reading Rei's mind
'He read me completely, is this the battle experience louis was talking about'
Rei thought in his head
"If you will answer any question then, Why are you here"
Rei asked his first question
"To retrieve the key of course and you are the key"
Domiel answered
"Why do you keep calling me the 'key'"
Rei was now annoyed
"Because you are the one to lock and unlock the gates of hell and we can't just allow you to move on your own free will"
"I dont understand what you are saying"
"The demon race were sealed 5000 years ago after the great war that lasted for 300 years which almost made the humans go extinct, originally the war wasn't our problem but when we noticed that the moment the demons took over 70 percent of earth they had a very strong backing for their army we couldn't over look it then we decided to act, which led to us dealing them away and created you"
Domiel briefly explained
"But the demons still exist till now, then what did you guys actually sealed"
"Do you mean those beings over there"
Domiel pointed towards the direction of Blusphere empire 98km away from them
'What the hell, he can sense them from this place, this guy is a serious bad news'
Rei thought to himself, Domiel continued
"Those people aren't the demons, those are just reactors of the magical fragments left behind from 5000 years ago. Now that I have answered your question before you come with me do you mind telling me what that sword I'd made of, because I sense a familiar energy from it"
Domiel pointed at the katana at Rei's right hand. Rei looks at Louis who was floating by his side
"It seems like he can't see you"
He whispers to Louis
"I guess so"
"Well if you dont mind answering can you now come with me"
"im afraid I can't do that"
Rei says
"But why, since you want to resist I ha e no other choice..."
In an instant Domiel vanished from his spot and appeared at Rei side using a chop attack to make him pass out but Rei was also quick to react, he dodged the attack and dashed backwards, after his quick dash the wave of the chop went directly to the ground and formed a huge crater there which was more than enough to break Rei's arm
"Arrggg, why can't I control my strength, I need to be more careful or else I might kill the key"
Domiel cursed
Rei on the other hand was shocked at what he just saw. A mere wave was capable to break the ground
'I guess I need to be extremely careful while attacking'
Rei thought
"Let's do this Louis"
