"So, are you done?" Anubis asked, coming into the room where Sera summoned her fifth familiar.
"Oh. You're back? How was it?"
"It's nothing much. They're more coordinated after experiencing it once, so I finished healing them faster," explained Anubis.
Nathan nodded. "Well, Sera is about to begin."
"Archangel, is it? Now that I think about it, you didn't give her your blood, did you?" Anubis asked. "Considering she is trying to get an archangel, shouldn't she use your blood?"
"Not really." Nathan shook his head. "I wasn't a part of religion before, but according to the Bible, God didn't want its believers to serve other divine beings."
"I see. So, giving your blood, which is practically sothing considered above the blood of a divine beast like us, will make them feel repulsed?"
"Yeah." Nathan nodded.
"Fair enough. But what's the chance of her summoning what she wanted?"
"It should be 90% at the very least. The item is provided by her teacher directly." Nathan glanced at the summoning circle. On top of it, there were three items. The first one was the Bible, the second one was a candle that was lit up gently, and the third was a golden staff.
"The archangel of healing, Raphael, huh?" Anubis squinted his eyes. "I wonder how powerful his ability is."
"Well, I'm not really worried about that. It's just… Serafina has gradually turned into soone who can only support. It's not bad, but I'm a bit worried about her safety."
"Now that I think about it, only Brunhild has the power to be the vanguard while Asmodeus focuses on his firepower. And with Raphael, she will have the ability to heal. Her offensive strength is quite lacking, huh?"
"Yeah. Maybe I will try to help her angel and fallen angel later." Nathan nodded.
"Still, aren't there a lot of religions in your ti?" Anubis asked.
"That's true. There are probably divine beasts I can summon, but I don't think I will summon them. I an, I won't stop the girls if they want to summon sothing related to a religion, but I personally don't like it. Of course, I don't hate the religion itself.
"I just don't want to hear people preaching wherever I go. I an, religion itself is not bad, as it's ant to give you hope and stuff like that, but yeah… It's not just for ." Nathan shrugged.
"Fair enough. If that's your belief."
Anubis nodded. They both stopped talking as Sera had fallen to her knees inside the magic circle and began praying.
The magic circle emitted a blinding glow as the items gradually turned into a humanoid figure with three pairs of wings and holding a wand.
The light ward the room as though they were being embraced by sothing invisible.
When the light that enveloped the humanoid figure started to vanish, they would see a man with long brown hair. One pair of wings covered his eyes, another pair covered his feet, and the last pair was used to fly.
"I have co from your prayers, young child."
Serafina looked up, facing an archangel for the first ti. "Are you… Archangel Raphael?"
"You're correct. I can sense a faint sll of a demon on you." Raphael smiled, raising his wand.
When Raphael waved down his wand, the room was suddenly split into two colors as black and white light illuminated each side of the room.
Asmodeus appeared next to Sera while grinning. "Hahahaha. You are finally here, Raphael!"
"…" Raphael's expression turned solemn. "Asmodeus. To think that you would taint such a pure soul."
"Tainting a pure soul? That sounds good, but I won't do it for now. I have another important thing to do after all." Asmodeus snorted.
"!!!" Raphael suddenly raised his head, noticing so extraordinary presence. He hurriedly opened up his wings and turned his head to the side, finding Nathan with Anubis, Fenrir, and Jinwu.
As an archangel, Raphael could feel the divinity coming from these four. He was quite surprised by the divine beasts, but he never thought that a human would possess such a thing.
Raphael realized that the information he had was not enough. Even if he did anything, he would be looked at as the hostile force.
Hence, Raphael lowered his wand before turning to Serafina. "Young child. What is your wish? Are you planning to wield as your weapon?"
Sera shook her head. "I don't wish for such a thing. I just wish for a world that doesn't have hunger. However, to do that, war has to cease.
"I wish to ask for your help to achieve my dream."
The world without hunger… It was definitely a good dream, even though it was impossible to achieve.
Still, Raphael extended his hand toward Sera. "I have received your wish. I shall aid you in creating such a utopia. Only after they don't have to worry about their food will they have ti to do sothing else. Wield my power wisely, young child."
"I will." Sera nodded as Raphael turned into particles after creating a cross on Sera's forehead with his finger.
Nathan couldn't help but cross his arms. What Raphael said was indeed true. They couldn't really do anything else if the people had to work all day just trying to put food on the table.
But when their belly had been filled, they could do sothing else, for better or for worse.
Nevertheless, it was ti to leave.
"Congratulations on your fifth familiar summoning, Sera." Nathan nodded with a smile.
"Thank you." Sera made a big smile, being proud of herself.
"In that case, I will take my leave." Nathan turned around. When he exited the room, he noticed that Sylvia was waiting for them, slightly further away as though she would co at any mont's notice but still far enough to avoid eavesdropping on their conversation.
But before he left, Selena had already stood by her side. "I'm going too."
" too!" Flora grinned.
"You shouldn't leave behind." Sera raised her hand.
"…" Noelle didn't say anything but still followed him. She couldn't help but recall what her grandfather had said before this.
Alavenya cracked her hands. "Studying is not my forte, but I know you aren't soone who wants to study things for no reason. There must be sothing that we don't know yet, so I have to know it. Isn't that right?"
Nathan looked surprised at first, but soon a smile ford on his face. "Indeed. Let's go together then. All of us."
