Chapter 106: Fallen
It was the day after the organized festival where the people and workers were cleaning up. Two figures were walking through the streets heading somewhere, a man and woman.
"So you stayed with Xu Lizhi the whole time?" Questioned Xie Xie towards Yuanen Yehui.
"Yes. We went around various stands and tried them out." Said Yuanen Yehui causing Xie Xie to suffer a bit of jealousy and then sighed.
"What a lucky guy. Me and Yue Zhengyu stayed in one spot for the whole time. Although the spot did give a good view of the fireworks, though." Said Xie Xie but Yuanen Yehui didn't respond back.
As they continued their walk, Xie Xie kept on bringing up stuff to talk about and Yuanen Yehui would sometimes reply back to him. A vast improvement from before, when she would just disregard him or swat him away.
'...Fallen.'
Yuanen Yehui stops in her tracks while moving her head around.
"Is something the matter?" Questioned Xie Xie causing Yuanen Yehui to furrow her brows.
"You didn't hear anything?" Questioned Yuanen Yehui but she only received a shake of the head from Xie Xie who just look at her in concern.
'Did I just imagine that?' Thought Yuanen Yehui in contemplation but she then shook her head.
"Don't you need to hurry back to the academy? It is your turn after all."Said Yuanen Yehui causing Xie Xie to chuckle.
"I still have some time." Said Xie Xie.
"Are you sure? If you're late, Wulin is going to kill you."Said Yuanen Yehui causing Xie Xie lips to twitch.
"Crap."
"Yea." Said Yuanen Yehui with a shake of her head and then she continued walking. Xie Xie stared at her back with a look of longing before sighing wistfully and then began sprinting to the academy.

Yuanen Yehui was in one of the private rooms of the Pavilion cultivating. She didn't try practicing her skills or focus on anything else, as the night time activity was a surprisingly good way to train.
'I wonder did he foresee that far ahead or is it just a coincidence?' Thought Yuanen Yehui.
Wulin was a mystery to her in so many ways. Whether it be from his temperament, his plans or his monstrous strength he had. She also felt he was hiding a lot of stuff from them as he still hadn't explained what exactly those red markers were.
The fact they were able to evolve and awaken their spirit was something revolutionary. In fact, the power didn't seem to just evolve their spirit but also mutate it or include some kind of extra benefit to them.
Shaking her heads of those thoughts, she began continuing her cultivation. Her cultivation speed spike up from what it was before when her fallen angel became a Fallen Seraphim.
Some of the elders here believed it was a mutation from the lost Seraphim spirit or others believes it may just be the natural evolution of her spirit.
While Yuanen Yehui was cultivating a gray mist started to appear behind her. Strangely enough about this mist was, it gave off nothing. No smell, no sound or presence causing Yuanen Yehui to be unaware of what appeared behind her.
Then suddenly a large claw came out of the impenetrable mist. It slowly began advancing towards Yuanen Yehui was still meditating and then in a matter of seconds, it finally made contact with her. A small light appeared on its tip and then it retracted.
The gray mist started dissipating and Yuanen Yehui was furrowing her brow as sweat started to appear on her face.
'...Fallen.'
'...My.'
'...My Fallen!'
Yuanen Yehui eyes snap open in surprise and fright as she started looking around frantically.
"...Am I imagining it?" Questioned Yuanen Yehui.
'My Fallen...'
Yuanen Yehui eyes widen she heard the voice. It was a gentle whisper that sounded like an old lady voice and then she felt her body shook.
'Awaken my Fallen!'
Then all she saw was undoubtedly impenetrable blackness.

'I'm so am going to get it.' Thought Xie Xie as he headed toward where Yuanen Yehui was. The morning and evening session were over, so he wanted to go check on Yuanen.
As he was about to leave, Gu Yue glared at him and told him if he dares to come back late. She is going to promptly kick his ass. He quickly promised her he won't be late and then dashed out before she could change her mind.
Sadly for Xie Xie and his luck, the normal way to the Pavilion was blocked. The citizens and workers were using it to move the stuff from the festival. He had to use another path and use most of his energy to reach the Pavilion.
'Well, at least I will be able to see Yuanen.' Thought Xie Xie as he saw he was closing in on the Pavilion.
BANG!
His body came to halt instantly as he saw a large explosion had up in front of him. He furrowed his brows and then narrowed his eyes.
'Isn't that where the Pavilion is!'
Xie Xie left behind afterimages as he used all of his power to increase his speed and head toward the area of the explosion.
As he arrived at the area, he saw people running away in fright and dread. He then moved his gaze around trying to find where Yuanen was until his eyes landed on a figure in the sky.
"Yuanen!"
The figure was Yuanen Yehui, but she was different. Her feather wings were more purple-gold than its usual purple-black. Her eyes were no longer scarlet red but a unique mix of purple and red. Around her was a purple-gold aura that caused Xie Xie to feel an ominous feeling.
"What the hell happened." Yelled Xie Xie to Yuanen Yehui but she uttered nothing to him. Yuanen Yehui outstretched her hand and a pitch-black sword appeared.
Xie Xie had to instantly summon his dagger to stop Yuanen Yehui black sword from bisecting him in half. To his surprise, he could feel an abnormal amount of strength in Yuanen as she was forcing his whole body down.
'What the hell! How is she so strong?' Thought Xie Xie while he was gritting his teeth. It felt like he was confronting her when she used her Titan Great Ape than her Fallen Angel.
Xie Xie eyes then widen when he saw the expression of Yuanen, more specifically her eyes. It wasn't her normal calm and steadily look or even her violent look. Her expression looks vacant as if she wasn't in direct control or someone was controlling her.
'Damn it!' Thought Xie Xie as he became increasingly furious from seeing her expression. A second black sword appeared in Yuanen hand and she then thrust it towards Xie Xie side.
'Crap, I can't be getting distracted.' Thought Xie Xie as he tried to back away but then Yuanen Yehui thrust her other black sword toward Xie Xie who was forced to deflect it with his dagger.
'Ultima-.'
Before Xie Xie could fully activate his spirit skills, his instinct screamed at him and he instantly tried to deployed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. But it was too late as he was engulfed by the darkness that exploded from Yuanen Yehui.
'Godamn it.' Thought Xie Xie.
He saw a black sword coming towards him and thought that was the end of him.
SWOOSH!
The black sword stops right at his temple. He blinks his eyes and saw the sword in Yuanen was shaking as if she was struggling to move it forward.
But that didn't do anything to stop the darkness enveloping him up in a sphere. But then he could feel a dazzling light shining behind him. The darkness that was engulfing him was melted and destroyed from the glowing light.
"You idiot." A voice rang out from behind Xie Xie.
He turned his head to see Yue Zhengyu walking toward with him with two white wings behind him that were shining.
"To think you almost die."
Another two wings sprouted from his back.
"All because of your stupidity."
Another two wings sprouted.
"How do you think she would have felt if you died like that."
Another two wings sprouted.
"Did you honestly believe you could beat her with such weak-willed effort."
Another two wings sprouted.
"You are very lucky I was on my way to the Pavilion."
And another two wings sprouted out.
Twelve glittering wings shining and holding themselves prominently behind Yue Zhengyu back. Above his golden hair was a white halo that hovers above his head.
This was Yue Zhengyu Holy Angel after it underwent its evolution and became Archangel.
"Sorry about that. I was just shocked it was Yuanen causing this damage."Said Xie Xie as he fixed himself and clenches his Dragon of Space and Time dagger.
"So what happened to her? Did you do something to piss her off again?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu.
"No...I think something or someone is controlling her."Said Xie Xie.
Yue Zhengyu said nothing as he narrowed his eyes and summoned his holy sword. He didn't question Xie Xie as he knew when it came to matter related to Yuanen, he would never joke about it.
"I want you to use your ultimate delay on her, which will give me the opening I require." Said Yue Zhengyu causing Xie Xie to furrow his brows but nonetheless he nodded his head.
While he would love to save Yuanen by himself, he knew it would be easier with the help of Yue Zhengyu. Seeing Xie Xie nodded his head, Yue Zhengyu sighed and then both of them dash toward Yuanen Yehui.
Two pitch-black swords appeared in her hand and then darkness exploded from her towards both of them. One purple ring appeared behind Yue Zhengyu and light burst forth from his being to combat the darkness.
To his shock, the light easily begins destroying the darkness.
'...Could it be whoever is controlling her can't utilize her full power?'
Yue Zhengyu didn't stop his charge with Xie Xie even when that thought came up. They saw Yuanen Yehui dashing towards them and Xie Xie went to go intercept her.
'Ultimate Delay.'
Five purple rings appeared behind Xie, and Yuanen Yehui began slowing down to the speed of a turtle. He didn't stop there as he went to clash with her and hold her down to give Yue Zhengyu his chance.
Yue Zhengyu didn't let the chance go to waste as his sixth soul ring appeared and began to lit up.
'Judgment.'
Yue Zhengyu eyes spark with holy fury and his wings shined with dazzling light. From above the sky, a brilliant light started to shine down. Yuanen Yehui couldn't run away from the light and once it touched her.
She screamed.
Yue Zhengyu watches as the light was burning Yuanen. The thing about his Judgement skill was it didn't damage his foes in the normal way but instantly reduced one vitality by 1/4 of its original value.
Although it still had a limit as this would only work on those around his level and it only had about a 50 percent chance of working, increasing if the opponent his somehow affiliated with darkness or evil.
Xie Xie even while seeing Yuanen Yehui in pain gritted his teeth and activated his skill.
'Spatial Slash.'
He slashes down causing a slash of energy that cut through space and time. Yuanen Yehui had no way of defending herself and was hit directly by the attack.
Yuanen Yehui body was sent sailing through the air and then landed in the destroyed Pavilion. They both dash after her and saw she was slowly rising up.
"...Y-You guys... Hurry and knock me out."Stammer Yuanen Yehui to the shock of both of them.
"Yuanen!" Shouted Xie Xie as he saw her right eye changed back to scarlet red but it was wavering.
"Quickly, let's do it." Said Yue Zhengyu causing Xie Xie to grit his teeth but nod his head.
They both unleash their attacks onto her and causing Yuanen to blackout. The wings on her back disappeared and the purple-gold aura was gone.
Xie Xie instantly dashes toward her to make sure she was ok. He let out a sigh of unspeakable relief and knew she was just sleeping.
"How are we going to explain this?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu as he looks around.
"I wonder that too." A voice rang out causing both boys to flinch.
"How exactly are you guys going to explain this?" Questioned Mu Ye with eyes filled with rage.
