Chapter 100: Caught

"Norma?"

Cyrae was surprised to see who got caught. She didn't expect this four-winged angel to risk her life to come listen!

But then Cyrae remembered how close Norma was to Elara III, and how she acted in the library before. It made sense now.

Cyrae could easily escape while Michelle was distracted. But she owed Elara a lot, and Norma was her friend in this world. After thinking hard, Cyrae made a risky decision.

"So it's a young angel. Who told you to do this? Do you have other friends helping?"

Michelle clearly didn't believe Norma had the guts to do this alone. She looked down on Norma but gripped her tighter, asking in a deep voice.

"Nobody told me to do anything! You killed Lady Elara, you monster! Every angel in Edenmere hates you!"

Michelle was holding Norma in the air like a chicken. Norma was struggling but still shouted at Michelle without fear.

"Hmph! Another Elara fan?"

Michelle got really angry at Norma's insults. She looked mad. "Yvonne is useless! I let her run Edenmere for so long and she still didn't fix all these problems!"

Michelle was about to kill Norma. But suddenly, two six-winged angels wearing armor ran in from the main door. They bowed from far away and said politely:

"Lady Michelle, we heard strange noises outside and came to check. Was there an attacker? Are you okay?"

"What attacker! I'm the Fire God, why would I be scared? Didn't I say only Yvonne can come in, no matter what happens..."

Michelle was annoyed at the guards interrupting. She waved her hand and turned to tell them to leave. But she suddenly noticed something strange and stopped.

"Wait!"

She threw Norma down and rushed at the two guards super fast. She grabbed both angels by the neck, one in each hand, and lifted them up.

"Light puppets???"

Something weird happened. The guards' bodies stretched really long, like white ribbons sliding from Michelle's hands to the floor. Then they slowly turned clear and disappeared.

Even Michelle, who was super strong, was shocked. After a while, she finally reacted and quickly looked back to where Norma was.

Of course, Norma was gone.

"You?" By now, Cyrae and Norma had escaped outside. Norma just got over her shock. She rubbed her eyes, not believing Cyrae saved her. Then she smiled big.

"I knew you wouldn't ignore Lady Elara's wishes. You're really different from the others!"

"Who said that! I just happened to pass by and didn't want to see someone die..."

Cyrae didn't hide how she saved Elara before. Now she could only laugh off. She was about to make more excuses, but suddenly saw a red flash. She quickly stopped.

"Impressive! You really tricked me. But did you think you could escape like this?"

It was Michelle again! She caught up so fast, surprising Cyrae.

"This is crazy! She's really tough. This is bad!"

Cyrae thought but tried to avoid looking scared. She held Norma tight and looked around, ready to try escaping another way.

But they weren't lucky this time. Yvonne and other angels came quickly. The two were trapped, surrounded on all sides.

"So she must be the one who told you to do this. Even though you're only six-winged, you're the only angel who could do this to me..."

Of course, Michelle thought Cyrae and Norma were working together. But she remembered how Elara was rescued before. She looked fierce.

"So you want to get revenge for Elara? Or do you have some other reason?"

This question clearly had another meaning.

"Can I say it's really not what you think?"

Cyrae knew Michelle was checking if she was the one who saved Elara. She didn't want to look suspicious at all. With a sad face, she said "honestly":

"I don't really care who rules the angels. I'm not trying to get revenge for Elara. I came to listen because I was curious about what you said about the main world. I just saved her because I was there."

At least the last part wasn't a lie.

"Hah, don't think I can't do anything just because you won't admit it!"

Michelle didn't believe Cyrae's made-up story. She was about to force Cyrae to tell the truth, but then Yvonne spoke, her voice filled with confusion.

"Isn't this Cyrae? How did you new angels level up so fast? You're already six-winged! Is it like Nicora and Feliciara?"

Cyrae thought she was definitely going to die, but this unexpected help came. It was like grabbing a life-saving straw. Cyrae quickly pointed at Yvonne and said:

"The Elder is here! She can prove I'm telling the truth!"

"What do you mean? You say she's a new angel?"

Michelle stopped moving. Yvonne's words made her curious. She stared at Cyrae's six wings.

"Uh..."

Not many angels knew about the group who came from another world. Only a few high level angels knew. But Yvonne was one of the three elders, so she definitely knew the basics. She didn't dare hide anything and told Michelle everything.

"Just over two months ago, this group of new angels came from the Angel Descent Formation. Strange things happened. They said they were humans and remembered their past lives. They didn't follow rules and did whatever they wanted. It was crazy..."

Yvonne was a conservative elder in Edenmere. She cared a lot about rules and manners. Cyrae and the others definitely had many problems with her. If Elara hadn't protected them, saying it's hard to summon new angels, Yvonne probably would have killed half of them for different excuses.

Even so, they still got punished! Besides being locked up and whipped, many were sent outside the city, because the angel leaders didn't trust them.

Because they weren't trusted, most of the angels coming from another world didn't feel like they belonged to Edenmere. Many said they really missed home, including Cyrae.

"This really happened? Angels who used to be humans, with their old memories, and some can grow strong really fast. It might be because of their human memories..."

Michelle seemed to ignore the fact that Cyrae and the others might be from another world. She focused on them being humans before and having memories.

"Are there still others alive who came with her?"

"I think there are still a few... My surbordinates say they've all been in the library lately. Not Norma though, she used to work closely with Elara. I think Meg's rebel group tried to talk to them a few times, but it looks like they said no!"

Yvonne didn't dare hesitate when answering to her boss. She quickly told everything she knew.

"So it looks like you're not lying..."

Now Michelle seemed to believe Cyrae. But she didn't look like she would let Cyrae and Norma go. She smiled in a strange way. Like she had another plan, she told Yvonne to take the two listeners with her to the library right away.

"Does she want to catch everyone at once and kill all of us?"

On the way, Norma was worried and quietly asked Cyrae. This all happened because of her. If that was true, it would be really bad.

"I don't think so..."

Cyrae wasn't sure either. Usually, if Michelle wanted to kill them, she would have done it already. But Michelle seemed to care a lot about them being humans before. Cyrae had a vague idea of what might happen.

A few days later, in the main world.

The big forest below was part of the Ilandra Dominion Empire in the human world!

Because Edenmere's entrance was invaded by the empire's magic installation, the angel legion had to use the "Eye of Galadra" to move to the sky above the empire.

Not far away, you could see a huge building shooting a thick light beam into the sky. It went into the clouds and looked like it had no end.
