Later that night.
Adhara could be seen walking on the empty night street in disguise.
She seed to be heading sowhere with a look of loss in contemplation.
Since Rex was cramped up training, she was also the sa, and decided to take a walk when she felt cramped inside the castle. But feeling cramped was nothing—but an excuse. Her real reason for taking a walk was because sothing was disturbing her mind.
It was Evelyn's reaction when Rex ca back that bugged her mind.
"Evelyn is hiding sothing and she has no intention of sharing it," She mused with a sigh.
No matter what she was hiding, it seed to be a big deal.
Glancing to the side, she sensed the pack connection and couldn't find Evelyn anywhere.
Adhara frowned, this had never happened before.
But regardless of how hard she tried, she couldn't sense Evelyn, as if she was invisible.
Even then she still could sll Evelyn's scent in the air.
"It seed like she was still in the city but why can't I sense her connection?"
Following the scent, Adhara reached the city hall.
Upon entering and heading to the main room, she saw Linthia and Dindora guarding the door so Evelyn must be inside. Other than them were a couple of royal servants, Valthor and other mbers of the Aldri Family.
"Is she inside?"
"Yes, Your Highness. The Empress is inside"
Adhara nodded and headed to the door.
Surprisingly enough, Dindora stepped in the way, stopping her with an apologetic smile.
"What's the aning of this? Step aside"
"Her Majesty asked to not be disturbed until she is finished, please be understanding"
"Finish doing what?"
"I also don't know. When Her Majesty was done, you could ask her"
Despite wanting to barge inside, Adhara decided to head to the side and waited on the sofa.
She wanted to eavesdrop but no sound ca from the room.
It was surely secured, Evelyn is also a Sound Elentalist so she must've did sothing.
A full hour passed and a voice ca from inside.
"Let her in,"
Upon hearing this, Adhara quickly stood up and pushed open the door.
She didn't wait for Dindora or Linthia to open the door for her.
Adhara gazed ahead at Evelyn—who was sitting on the sofa sipping tea, and headed over to her with rushed steps. She sat across and looked at Evelyn directly in the eye, "Care to shed an explanation what you are doing here?"
"I was having a eting and couldn't be disturbed," Evelyn replied nonchalantly.
Despite Adhara's demanding tone, she remained calm.
"eting with who?"
"Several people. Rex is training so I'll monitor the progression of the Angels and Chaos"
Even then, Adhara remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
Seeing this, Evelyn sighed as it was clear that Adhara wouldn't drop this.
"I talked with the Dark Elves, Mavenna, and President Sebrof" She confessed.
Finding that Evelyn talked with a series of people—that has no connection, with one another, Adhara raised—an eyebrow. President Sebrof could probably give reports—about the Angels but the Dark Elves and Mavenna were unclear.
"So what did you gain from them?"
"A lot actually..."
...
"Raid that city to the ground, leave nothing behind—the new light desired their lives!"
Sowhere within the Supernatural territory.
A group of Angel numbering five could be seen flocking in the sky—their daggers eyes fixed on a tribe in the distance, located at the center of a mountainous area. Considering from the tribe's appearances, donned in hoods and ghostly, they seed to be Shadowlings.
One of the Supernatural races that was weak to holy energy.
In addition to that, they didn't seem to be aware of the Angels stalking their territory.
Having the elent of surprise, four out of the five Angels moved.
All four of them flapped their wings and concentrated their holy energy into their weapons.
Compared to charging in like a berserker and giving the enemy a chance to strike back and a chance to take one of them down, the Angels hovered above the tribe and chanted a spell. It was a combination spell that summoned a massive halo above the tribe.
Since it was cast so quickly, the Shadowlings in hoods couldn't react in ti.
All of them glanced skyward and found many holy weapons made of light raining on them.
Most of them tried to flee from the attack but they weren't able to.
It was simply too late for them as they realized late.
Crash!
From above, the Angels observed the unsuspecting Shadowlings being bombarded.
Even the ground was decimated by the rain of holy weapons.
Soon, when the spell ended and the dust settled, the tribe was utterly destroyed.
Only a couple of Shadowlings survived but all of them were in a bad state.
Not one of them remained standing.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the group of Angels gestured for the others to finish this.
Descending from above, the Angels in radiant armor thudded against the ground, and made their way to the suffering Shadowlings. One of them reached the trembling Shadowling—he was smiling sadistically, taking pleasure in inflicting pain.
A trait that was developed by the Angels that has now turned into Dark Angels.
"Shadowlings... I saved quite a bit of your kind in the past,"
Observing the Shadowling trying to crawl away, the Angel scoffed, this was a new sight.
"So of my friends died because of you, and now, it is ti to pay the debt that is due"
Just as he said that the Angel grabbed the Shadowling by the shoulder.
He pulled on it to deal the finishing strike but was stunned at what he was seeing right now.
"Cursed heaven's spawn, I'll give you a taste of hell..."
"Demons? It's the Demons...!"
Upon seeing the face of the Shadowling, the Angel was shocked to find that under the hood, was a Demon instead. Not a pawn either but a straight high-ranked Demon, burning with the Hellvoid Energy.
Before the Angel could fly away and flee, the Demon grabbed ahold of him with its claws.
From that touch, the Demon summoned flas from the depths of Hell.
"Raarghkk!" the Angel scread.
His armor was lting under the powerful flas.
Not only that but his wings also got burned, its feathers blackened into crisps.
On the other hand, the leader of the Angel group narrowed his eyes when he sensed a spike in energy level. He looked at the source but couldn't see what was going on as the spot was completely covered by a boulder.
Despite that, he saw flickers of flas surging from behind the boulder.
And also the scream—it didn't seem to co from the Shadowlings.
Just then, a hooded figure erged from behind the boulder.
From the eyes and aura coming from it alone, it was no doubt that it was a Demon.
A powerful one too, might be a Demon Lord.
Realizing that it was a Demon, the Angel leader drew his crimson sword and also summoned his halo in preparation to fight. But the sweat dripping down the side of his face was evident—he didn't expect to cross a Demon in this remote area.
Descending down enough to near the Demon, the Angel prepared to fight.
But the Demon suddenly laughed.
So loud that the other Angels also ca to hear it.
"I heard you Angels now called yourself Dark Angels... abandoning the old path of light, the path—of righteousness. But now all I see is you turned from a force of good to a bunch—of copycats" the Demon stated—his voice dripping with mockery. "Crimson feathers and halo don't make you Demons, just Angels playing dress up in disgrace. Feather freaks trying—to pass as devils"
Boring a scary appearance and killing the innocents, the Angels were trying to be Demons.
Or at least, that is what the Demons see from their actions.
It was rather disappointing.
At the very least, in the ancient era, they stand for sothing, not a copycat.
Upon hearing this, the Angel leader grinds his teeth in anger.
His aura was rampaging violently, and his gaze was sharper than a dagger.
Seeing that the Angel leader was ready to fight, the Demon grinned.
He took sothing from behind the boulder, and when the thing ca into view, the Angel leader gritted his teeth harder as the thing the Demon grabbed was the fresh corpse of an Angel—one of his n who was killed in cold blood.
Most part of his body was scorched, and his wings were left a mix of sinew and muscle.
Showing the corpse, the Demon then threw it forward.
It made an unnerving, squelching sound as it drifted across the ground.
"Tell Calignar," the Demon spoke, smiling nacingly—showing rows of sharp teeth. "Tell him that Elder Tilrith sent her greetings. Coming here was a mistake, and she would make sure of it. We Demons would show you the real aning of evil"
...
"Demons were in a constant battle against the Angels, the Dark Elves confird it"
Evelyn said, she already heard the full story.
On the other hand, Adhara shrugged.
"It's not sothing surprising, no? All Supernaturals have a history against each other"
"Yes, but we now know what the high-rank Supernatural races' stance on the Angels"
"What do you an?"
"If Elder Tilrith was going against the Angels, then the other high-rank Supernaturals have a high chance of also declaring war on the Angels. As you know, with Rex being the strongest—they have gotten closer"
Upon hearing this, Adhara frowned as she knew where Evelyn was going.
She was not convinced by this.
"Are you suggesting we band together with them?"
"I haven't decided yet but if we can, why not? Besides—the Angels think they can co here into our continent, and decide to cause chaos everywhere they go?" Evelyn's face darkened, a flicker of rare killing intent flashed in her eyes. "Those clowns needs to be taught a lesson"
Adhara was slightly surprised to hear Evelyn say sothing like that.
But then again, she wasn't wrong.
"What about Mavenna and President Sebrof? What did you discuss with them?"
"I asked if Mavenna could put in a word with Elder Tilrith, and as for President Sebrof, I asked him to share information about the Chaos Phantoms condition in the Human Territory. I heard Prof. K was researching that"
Seems like Evelyn was collecting information while Rex was focused on training.
Adhara applauded her for doing that.
"Oh, right," Adhara recalled sothing. "What happened to your connection? I can't sense it"
Upon hearing this, Evelyn raised an eyebrow.
Her gaze seed to hide a hidden aning.
But their conversation was interrupted when a sudden wave of intensity brushed past them.
In an instant, both of their bodies tensed.
As if they were forced to respond to the intensity that appeared out of nowhere.
Evelyn and Adhara exchanged a look—realizing that this wave ca from the castle.
More than that, this air was also familiar to them.
Both of them had sensed this before during Rex's battle against Yulthar.
Not even needing say anything, the two stood up and walked out of the city hall quickly.
Surely, the energy ca from the castle.
"Rex must be doing his thing again, but it didn't seem he was breaking through a realm. Let's check what he was doing now"
"Okay..."
Adhara went over to the castle, activating her fire elents, and leaped away.
"Both of you go on ahead,"
Evelyn turned to Dindora and Linthia, commanding them to go on first.
Not even questioning her, the two captains followed Adhara, leaving Evelyn behind alone.
Staying on her spot for a couple more seconds, Evelyn observed them head—to the castle before she turned to the opposite side and headed to the entrance. She then leapt over to the castle walls.
A couple of guards were there but with a flick of her fingers, she put them all to sleep.
Just one touch from her purplish energy put them to sleep.
Heading into the Humming Damned Forest, she stopped when she was half a mile deep.
Scanning the tall trees and bushes, her eyes squinted.
"Forest Overseer cos out," Evelyn called. "or should I say, Witch of Chaos?"
