Chapter 2238: The Power of the Seven Virtues
Adrian's heart skipped a beat when he heard that Ark has the Creation Relic for the angels. He then further asked if the Nephilim have a creation relic, but he said that they do not. The Nephilim are a race that is unique since they are beings that are half angel. They are not half devils unless a parent is a devil but even the angels said that getting a child with them is still difficult.
Nephilim that has devil lineage are rare as they have different elements in their bodies. Devils might have come from angels, but they have become quite opposite of them. Also, Adrian was already promised the Creation Relic of the devils or at least how to procure it. One of the ways to get the creation relic for the devils is to make the Seven Devils acknowledge your contribution which they already told Adrian.
"Can you explain why the Creation Relic of the Angels is not complete?" Adrian asked.
"The Creation Relic for Angels have become incomplete because it needs to be bonded with the Creation Relic of the Devils. I thought it was absurd before, but it seems to have weakened because the Goddess of Light Luminaria has died. It seems that she acted as the conduit for the creation relic for the angels as well." Ark replied.
"How did you know that you need the Creation Relic of the Devils? Also, can you stop the baby from touching my horns." Adrian stated as one of the baby angels posed arrogantly as he managed to stand on top of him.
"I am the one that managed to be on top of the demon! I am the most powerful angel!" The baby Mikhail stated as he made a smug but cute face.
"They were the ones that told me about the way to fix the Creation Relic of the Angels. It seems that the Angel Creation Relic has bonded to me, and it needs the Devil Creation Relic to activate fully. Right now, the Angel Creation Relic is functioning, but it only creates new players. The angels that vanished due to the Goddess of Light Luminaria have yet to be revived." Ark stated.
"I guess as much since the angels here are not powerful enough to protect them should a kingdom suddenly brings an army to quell you guys. Angels have become public enemy number one because of what they did to the entire central continent after all. The filthy dealings of the Church of Light are also spread all out to the point that no one worships it anymore." Adrian stated.
The central continent has yet to fully heal with the damage that the Goddess of Light Luminaria has done. Even the angels here could not get out much from their current town due to fear of persecution. The angel players could at least move in free cities but even they need to gain the trust of the residents there. If not for Ark handling the reparations for each kingdom, then the angels would have been hunted down to extinction.
Fortunately, there were still some angels that protected people against their own kin. They were not the majority, but it helped public perception that angels are not all bad. Some of the angels wanted Adriant to actually back them up but the demons made sure to not be involved. The demons did not care back then when they were labeled as evil, and they will not care now that they are needed to save the angel race.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"So, what is the real emergency here? I know it is not because Lucifer was picking a fight with this baby angel." Adrian stated.
"The Seven Angels of Virtues have lost their strength or rather their powers. They told me that they need to recover it." Ark stated.
"If that is the case then you should train them." Adrian stated as he thinks that the problem is that the angel babies are just low leveled.
"They do not need to train to regain their power. Their power actually exited their body when they were killed. They said that their powers have egos of their own and might have attached themselves to objects, people, or even beasts." Ark stated.
"What is the problem with searching then? If it is their powers, then they should be able to sense it." Adrian stated.
"The problem is that we can no longer feel our own powers. We do not know why but this should not be happening. If a mortal were to get our powers, then their body would implode since they cannot handle that energy. It is of no coincidence that the devils became gods as they were former angels once." The baby angel Mikhail stated as the other six seemed to have dozed off from moving too much.
"What is your real intention? Why do you wish to regain all of your powers?" Adrian asked as he even used his own aura to suppress the baby angel Mikhail.
"That is a bit too much, guild master. He is still a baby, and he might die from your excessive aura." Ark stated as he sensed that Adrian became too serious.
"I merely need my strength back because I need to find someone." Mikhail stated as he suddenly became solemn.
"You wish to look for your sister." Adrian stated which made the baby angel Mikhail look at him seriously.
"How do you know of this?!" The baby angel Mikhail asked as he suddenly became wary of Adrian.
"I did not see your sister's soul in Limbo when the fight finished. It means that she must have found a way to live despite the challenges. Maybe she occupied another body or something and you suddenly wanting power means that you also know that her soul is not in the creation relic for the angels." Adrian stated.
"Damn, you are sharp. When did demons become intelligent? All of you would rather destroy this or destroy that." The baby angel Mikhail retorted.
"We send the dumb but strong ones to the front line which is why you have that perception." Adrian stated as he then looked at Ark.
"Do you truly wish to help them?" Adrian asked Ark.
"It is the right thing to do. Also, they might be a great help to the angel community here. The Nephilim are not exactly that strong either as some are just newly awakened." Ark stated.
"Ok. I will help but only in one condition." Adrian stated as he looked at the baby angel Mikhail.
"What do you wish, demon? We are already out of options and your group might be our best way in regaining our strength. We are really at our lowest point as we will make deals with demons to regain what we lost." The baby angel Mikhail stated.
"All of you shall form a covenant with Ark that you will never betray him and that you shall protect the angel and Nephilim race with all your might. Fail to do so then you will risk your souls being damned in the depths of the underworld for eternity." Adrian stated as his aura became dark and mysterious.
"Is that all? I would rather enter a covenant with him. I thought that you would force us to have a covenant with you. I would really rather die than have that happen to me or the others. I will never be under a demon in my life." The baby angel Mikhail stated. Ark was about to say something, but Adrian turned to him with a look that said 'stay quiet' which is why the former just zipped his mouth.
"If that is the case then I shall now start the Covenant preparations. Dodu, extract some of the blood from the sleeping ones." Adrian stated as a small Dodu came out from a magic circle to procure a drop of blood from each angel.
"I, the Mediator of Death, is a witness to this covenant between the Seven Angels of Virtue and the Chosen Nephilim Ark. A vow of loyalty has been made and none should break it. Should the angel party break this vow, their souls shall be forfeited and be sent to the depths of Tartarus for eternal torment." Adrian stated as his form shifted to his True Netheros form for a bit and the entire area suddenly glitched out for a moment.
When Adrian commenced the covenant, a mark appeared at the wrists of each party. It was a mark that looked like Ark's wings spread apart which made it look quite cool. The space also returned back to normal as Adrian's form became normal as well.
"Done." Adrian stated.
"Is that it? Are covenants that quick?" Ark asked as he was slightly afraid earlier.
"Where is the kissing of feet? Or the shower of praises that we must do?" The baby angel
Mikhail stated which made Adrian look at him funny.
"Those things are just superfluous things that gods add to the theatrics." Adrian replied which shocked the baby angel Mikhail.
