To be honest, before the other party spoke, Herbert actually didn't have any fear of the Fallen Angels.
It's nothing more than so brainwashing from the hymns, looking a bit scary, but anyway, there is Nenasha for protection and the Sealing Array as the last safeguard.
Even if the other party had three heads and six arms, Herbert was not flustered.
He wasn't scared at all!
But the problem was...
When the other party said this sentence right away, this feeling of hitting oneself was sowhat unbearable for him.
Which decent person would say "I'm not a bad person, don't be afraid"?
Herbert wasn't frightened initially, but after hearing this sentence, he instinctively felt a little flustered.
What could the other party look like to frighten ?
Just as Herbert was thinking this, the next mont, he saw the other party's appearance clearly.
Contrary to the initial terrifying and grueso imagining, the other party's appearance could even be described as extrely beautiful.
"!!!"
The angel before him had a tall and elegant stature, with large and pure white wings extending behind her, the feathers like the purest snowflakes, each emitting a soft halo.
The whole person shimred with an incomparably sacred radiance under the reflection of light.
Her face was as fair as exquisite porcelain, tinged with a faint blush, her eyes gentle and deep, filled with endless compassion.
Seeing Herbert's dazed expression, she revealed a gentle smile, opened her arms towards him, and called, "Child, co to my side."
"Don't be afraid."
Afraid?
Herbert laughed inwardly, looking like you, what is there for to be afraid of?
Who cares about this and that...
Wait, sothing seems off.
Just as Herbert was about to step into her embrace, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
The Holy Mark and Demon Pattern on his body were calm, everything seed normal.
But the spirituality in his soul was frantically giving him hints.
No.
It's too quiet.
It's too quiet here!
No hymns, no chants could be heard!
Most importantly...
There were no comnts from Nenasha on her appearance by his ear!
No!!!
"..."
Herbert stopped his steps, restrained the smile on his face, and squinted at the beautiful angel.
Pure, beautiful, sacred... all the positive adjectives could be used for this beautiful existence.
Real.
Not false.
It doesn't look like an illusion; not a single trace can be detected...
But he was certain in his heart, this was definitely not her true form.
Definitely not!
It was at this mont of thought that the world before Herbert changed drastically.
"This..."
The radiant sanctuary remained the sa.
But the angel floating at its center had drastically changed.
Everything turned from white to black.
Jet-black six wings floated gently, tearing apart the light within the sanctuary.
His eyes were covered with a black veil, hiding the once compassionate eyes.
Four slender arms hung down gently, crossed in front of the lower abdon.
This appearance, though still beautiful, emitted such darkness, fallen and sinister energy... that made Herbert's soul involuntarily tremble.
At the sa ti, the long-suppressed hymn erupted powerfully in his ears.
Countless souls were shouting with voices that could make a mortal soul tremble.
(Praise Him!)
(Praise His birth!)
(Let us call out His na!)
They sang and called!
Making Herbert's expression change slightly.
[ "You're awake? That was quick." ]
The voice of the Harmonious God also rose at the right ti, signing:
[ "As expected, you managed to break free with your own will, worthy of being my ally!" ]
Not having any ti to bla the unreliable Nenasha, after freeing himself from that state, Herbert imdiately made a decision.
Crack!
Herbert started instantly, pushing open another door directly and rushing inside.
Run!
So many layers of spiritual protection were pierced through in front of the other party like paper, and his spirit actually entered the Illusion Realm!
If it weren't for his instincts telling him sothing was off, he might have gotten lost in that dream.
It's not that he didn't try hard, nor that his preparations weren't sufficient.
It's just that the level difference was too great!
Under absolute power, flashy preparation holds no aning.
The other party didn't show any skill; sheer strength already overwheld him.
Not a match.
[ "Are you leaving now?" ]
"Go!"
Retreat!
Encountering a four-handed fallen angel, as strong as a monster, unable to... Eh?
The other party didn't take action?
Herbert was prepared to be intercepted halfway.
But... that fallen angel didn't react at all, rely "watching" him silently.
Neither sad nor joyful.
Huh?
The quickly moving Herbert had half of his body out, but at this mont, he stepped back in.
He poked half of his head out from the doorfra, looking at the fallen angel and asking curiously, "Aren't you going to continue?"
And the fallen angel with eyes veiled in black shook her head, repeating once more, "Child, don't be afraid, I won't harm you."
"I have no malice towards you either."
No malice?
After hearing this, Herbert found it a bit amusing.
If you had no malice, then why did I fall into the Illusion Realm?
Why did Nenasha remind ... No, He didn't remind .
[ "She's not wrong, she indeed did not show you any malice." ]
"Then what I just saw..."
The Harmonious God's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude, teasing him:
[ "It's what you constructed in your mind upon seeing her, false mories in your own consciousness." ]
[ "In other words, you were deceived by your own consciousness~" ]
What does that an? Is it my insufficient Spiritual Vision?
Or... is it too adequate?
Herbert frowned deeply, pondered for a mont, then withdrew from the Light Gate and returned to the Aurora Sanctuary.
He stared at the fallen angel, asking in a deep voice, "What were those I saw just now?"
Are they really just my illusions?
The fallen angel seed surprised that he returned so quickly and initiated conversation.
She lowered her head slightly, studying Herbert, nodded, and said softly:
"I don't know what you saw; what I look like in others' minds depends on their own thoughts."
"However, since you've recovered now, presumably you've broken free from your inner prejudice and seen the truth of the world."
Buzz —
A soft glow emanated from her, instantly letting darkness swallow the light, turning the whole sanctuary pitch-black.
But then, everything returned to normal, the light restored.
It seed like nothing changed, but it made Herbert's heart skip a beat.
This level of the Sealing Array... was sealed for a mont!
Is this a warning not to rely on it?
And the fallen angel, looking at the silently contemplating Herbert, slightly curled her lips, smiling softly:
"Child, don't be afraid."
"I've waited for you for a long ti, we... finally et again."
