Chapter 225: Concerns of an Angel

After four days of waiting, Ehit gave up the soul of Yue's uncle.

The Laws of this world do not allow perfect resurrection and since I do not want problems with Karma I cheated a bit.

In some worlds, vampires are considered undead. In this world, vampires are just another race of living beings.

The Laws of this world declare the undead is skeletons or zombies.

Using [Schizophrenia] and Rushia's necromancy I slightly changed Yue's uncle's soul structure to make him a vampire from another world which caused the Laws of this world to classify him as undead even though he is still a vampire.

Since I didn't technically resurrect Yue's uncle, Karma didn't punish me so everything went smoothly.

By the way, Alva, Ehit's subordinate, is now Ortro's new chew toy.

The Wind God was infinitely grateful to Alva for allowing him to take a break.

Now Yue is chatting with her uncle who is more like her father.

Yue and her uncle had a long talk where Yue understood that the man just wanted to protect her from Ehit so after much crying they both hugged while I wanted to sigh for so much drama.

Yue doesn't know that I already defeated Ehit and his uncle believes I used a spatial skill to steal Ehit's treasures, including the vampire's imprisoned soul.

The damn brat was so happy and grateful to me that she tried to undress me and take me to the room. I had to spank her a couple of times to get her to stop acting like a little degenerate.

Anyway, I already talked to Yue's uncle and since Ehit is still an imminent danger, the uncle will stay at Orcus's residence until I can find a way to return to Japan, then he will accompany us and swore to be my subordinate loyal as a token of gratitude for being Yue's husband.

The damn man started acting like my father-in-law while he was giving Yue advice on being a good wife… It's a shame that an idiot doesn't have a wife or daughters to spite him.

System Goddess modified the residential area to make it a dangerous trap that could capture a low-level Higher Entity, this way even if Kouki manages to reach this place, that idiot won't be able to take advantage of the little plot armor I left him.

In the residence, I found a message from a man named Oscar Orcus where he explained the truth about Ehit and how this world is his game board.

This was irrelevant so I ignored it and just took the first piece of the formula for Basic Concept Magic.

[Rasen] and [Anti-Rasen] can recreate almost all the abilities of that magic plus Ortro can destroy souls so I don't need Concept Magic, but I still plan to get it to strengthen my army plus I have another use for this formula.

After obtaining everything necessary from this dungeon, I prepared to leave for the following dungeons together with Yue.

The thread of destiny tells me that there are still two months left before the plot can continue so I used the 'Protagonist' Concept to speed up the plot.

This will speed up the speed of important events related to Arifureta's plot, but since Ehit is now my slave this will only give me benefits as the other heroes won't have time to upgrade which will give me a chance to save their pathetic lives.

Ehit returned to his base after I gave him several instructions that he can't disobey since I put thousands of restrictions through Contracts. Ehit is no longer any different than a puppet without a will.

While Yue and her uncle were having a heartwarming farewell talk, I was listening to a woman complain.

"Thousands of years of effort were destroyed in an instant…" – Seraph sighed heavily as we chatted through a mental link. – "The possibility of Paradise being united into a single project was ruined by those selfish creatures…"

Yesterday Seraph finally contacted me and apologized for two hours for not answering my messages, then she started explaining what happened and I have had to listen to her complaints ever since.

Apparently, the racist faction and the idealist faction had been working on a project that took a lot of time and resources.

This project would not only strengthen the entire Paradise but would be the first step in achieving harmony between both factions.

This project is called 'Tower of Awakening' and it would be a factory of combat-type Higher Entities.

Unlike the world of magic which was a factory of disposable heroes, this project would allow the creation of truly powerful entities that would be the basis of a powerful army capable of oppressing other organizations.

This was the most important project in Paradise and although Seraph was just a low-ranking supervisor, she was totally frustrated as the Tower of Awakening was destroyed just as it was inaugurated.

The problem occurred because the project information reached the ears of an organization of Higher Entities focused on cultivation.

Cultivators are the most obsessed with obtaining resources and have led many worlds to destruction by overexploitation of resources so they did not consider the risk of antagonizing Paradise and infiltrated the Tower.

The result was simple, the Tower was destroyed, many candidates for ascension were killed, and various valuable resources were stolen.

Now Paradise is in chaos because no one wants to take responsibility for the information leak, what's worse, Paradise can't declare war on cultivators as that would leave them vulnerable against other organizations like Hell.

Seraph was just a low echelon of this project, but she has had to take on various responsibilities causing her rank in Paradise to decrease significantly in addition to the fact that she has begun to receive mistreatment from the other members of the racist faction.

As if that weren't enough, even great entities like Auriel aren't in a good spot as she may be the embodiment of hope and compassion, but her fury is not something to be underestimated.

If it wasn't for Seraph, that powerful entity would have led her troops to war against the cultivators which would only have weakened the Idealist faction.

Now Seraph is looking for a way to rebuild the Tower of Awakening as she really wants both factions to reconcile.

"The situation is bad" - Seraph sighed heavily. – "I am sorry for not being able to help you, Hero… My current authority is very low and I cannot send you reinforcements even though you are in a dangerous world… I am really sorry for being so useless…"

This matter damaged her self-esteem quite a lot not only because she feels disappointed with herself, but she is very depressed since, if this project went well, there was a very small possibility that she could return to the side of Auriel whom she idolizes almost like a mother.

"Ne, is Senpai angry that his winged wife is being bullied? Will Senpai invade Paradise?" – BB asked as her eyes shone with crimson light.

"Don't talk stupid, even Nuclear Chaos would be defeated if she invades Paradise" - I sighed internally. – "Although it certainly bothers me that some idiots annoy Seraph…"

"Senpai tsundere~" - BB smiled with a mixture of tenderness and mockery.

"Hero" - Seraph sighed heavily. – "In my current situation I cannot provide you with adequate support, so the best thing will be if you collaborate with another servant of our holy lady… I know some entities loyal to our holy lady who will be willing to support you, although not all of them will be very satisfied with your way to solve problems…"

"That's not necessary" - I sighed. – "I am only willing to work with you"

"Hero..." - Seraph sighed with slight sadness. – "Please understand, this is for the sake of your development, you have a lot of potentials, and seeing my current circumstances I am unable to give you the support you need…"

"Could be, but I prefer to work with someone I can trust instead of working with someone who can give me more benefits" - I smiled bitterly. – "Trust is the most valuable treasure, and in the short time that we have known each other I feel that I can trust you"

Seraph was silent for a while, and though I can't see her expression, I'm sure she was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, she sincerely wants to help me since, if I get stronger, I will be a better warrior for Auriel. In addition to this, she begins to treat me like a friend, which is very important because her role as her spy made her a lonely entity.

Even if Seraph is a Higher Entity, she has a kind heart and a loyal mindset so she is not immune to the sadness caused by loneliness.

On the other hand, even if she wants to support me, the fact that she lost prestige means that she can't help me properly which would only be harmful to my growth.

Seraph wants to continue working with me, but at the same time she wants to help me as much as possible, so logically the best thing is to send me to another Auriel representative.

"Actually there is something I wanted to give you, it is a thank you for the help you have given the most" - I spoke with gratitude and a subtle trace of affection.

Through the link in our Contract, I sent her the first part of the formula for Basic Conceptual Magic that System Goddess deciphered. – "In this world, I found this information and according to some rumors it seems important"

Seraph received the information and as expected she responded immediately while her voice was filled with concern. – "Where did you find this? You are in danger?"

According to the energy traces that System Goddess found in the items stolen by Ehit, this world belongs to the idealist faction but not to Auriel's group but to another entity.

Although the idealist faction has no direct conflicts between its rulers, each leader wants the best resources for his own subordinates so the existence of this formula was not revealed to the other members of the idealist faction.

I already told Seraph that I was summoned to this world along with my classmates, but I didn't tell her about Ehit and the other members of Paradise so she thinks I'm in an unknown magical world.

"I'm fine" - I replied with a comforting voice. – "Since I came to this world I have been feeling that there is a strange force guiding me… When I followed this force, I found this magic and if I am not mistaken, this is part of a greater power"

What I described was how Destiny normally acts on heroes. A mysterious force guides the hero's instincts to force them to stabilize the balance of the world.

I heard Seraph sigh. – "Did you learn this magic?"

"I didn't want to learn new skills carelessly since that could affect my martial arts, first I wanted to know your opinion" - I sighed slightly.

"Hero, I'm glad you're sensible" – Seraph spoke approvingly. – "Eating is good, but eating too much can make you sick… It is important that you carefully analyze the skills before learning them because getting incompatible skills can damage your soul"

Well, I'm a system user so the skill incompatibility doesn't affect me.

Although what Seraph said is true, she must also be happy that I didn't learn this magic since that would prevent me from becoming a Higher Entity, the problem is that she can't tell me that since she should have signed a confidentiality agreement not to spread the steps to become a Higher Entity.

In that aspect, I am grateful to know System Goddess or without her, it would have been almost impossible for me to become a Higher Entity.

"Hero, I am very grateful for this information" – Seraph spoke with genuine gratitude since this information can be delivered to Auriel.

"Actually, I think I know where to find the other fragments of this magic" - I spoke with some expectation like a teenager trying to impress the girl he likes. – "If you give me some time I can send you the rest of the information, I can even get some resources if you need them now that your rank has decreased…"

Seraph is an intelligent and cunning woman, but her devotion limits her cunning. She will not think of giving this information to the racist faction to improve her own status since she is only loyal to Auriel so I plan to make her feel guilty for my sincere desire to help her, this will motivate her to use more deceitful and cunning methods with so as to be useful to me.

Seraph silently listened to my constant ideas to help her.

She must be worried since my behavior shows that my feelings for her are other than mere gratitude and friendship plus I've already shown myself to be an idiot who easily falls for women who treat me well, basically a puppy in need of affection.

At last, Seraph sighed. – "I understand, if you can send me the rest of the information about this magic I will be very grateful to you…"

There was guilt in her voice, she must feel that she is taking advantage of my feelings of affection.

"Hero, to tell the truth, a friend of mine is in trouble because of everything that happened with the Tower of Awakening..." - Seraph began to speak with slight discomfort. – "I do not have the necessary authority to take care of her and I do not want to increase your problems… But I will be very grateful if you can take care of my friend for a while until the situation stabilizes…"

That was unexpected.

Seraph brought this up very abruptly so she must be lying to some degree.

Maybe this so-called friend is actually a subordinate and since Seraph can't send me reinforcements, she's using this excuse to send someone who can help me...

"I understand that you have your own circumstances and problems so I will talk to my friend so that she signs a contract of servitude with you for a period of one hundred years..." - Seraph seemed worried that I would reject this.

Although she knows how to keep a monotone and emotionless voice, her speaking speed increases when she is worried and she speaks quietly when she feels guilty.

"I understand, I'll make sure to help your friend" - I answered with determination.

"Thank you, Hero" - Seraph sighed with relief. – "I will prepare a dimensional trip through our contract, I will let you know when my friend is ready to travel"

"Sure, if you need anything else don't hesitate to say so" - I replied with satisfaction.

After finishing my conversation with Seraph, I headed towards a secret room in the residence together with Yue who was wiping away her tears with a happy expression.

"Thank you" – Yue held my hand with a big smile. – "Thank you for helping me see my family again…"

"Hey Listen! Give thanks by putting that little mouth to work! You're a vampire loli so you should suck his… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH FUCK BITCH AAAAAHHHHHH!!"

I deactivated [Sadism] and released Navi causing him to fall to the ground as he convulsed.

Yue looked at Navi and pushed him with her foot. - "Is dead?"

"I wish it were so" - I sighed and went to the magic circle that was in the middle of the room. – "Come on, we have to visit the other dungeons"

Yue nodded and took my hand while ignoring Navi who was still convulsing on the ground, in these few days she already gotten used to Navi's stupid comments followed by my violent reactions.

As a side note, Navi learned a new trick… The jerk is evolved.

BB taught Navi a stealth trick and now the noisy asshole can stay out of my Core of Existence without being noticed by other Higher Entities.

Now, this jerk can taunt in the face of powerful entities and won't be noticed as long as the jerk doesn't touch other entities as touching breaks the stealth skill.

Only I can tell when he uses this skill and that's because of our existential connection.

Why is this asshole getting skills related to bugging me?

"Hey Listen! Because it's fun to watch you get fucked by life! It's the revenge of losers who can't fuck hundreds of waifus at once and they're jealous of you!"

….

I don't know why, but that makes sense...
