Chapter 14: Close Call

Hun enjoyed waiting for the devil's children by recalling the memories he shared with everyone, the sisters, Archangel Uriel's Wing... "Priest Asher" a scoff came out of him before another wave of laughter and screams came out from another part of the place he was in, "why am I remembering him now of all times?" He mumbled to himself.

Silence filled the cold room before warmth filled his heart, moments after that frenzy feeling his heart started thumping the faster he tried to breathe and calm himself. It was scary, it was painful, it was... Unidentifiable...

"Help. Hah, some- Body, hah, he- Help me!" His breathing kept getting disturbed by the warmth and sudden increase of heat, "It- Hurts! I'm scared! sniff, what's- happening to me? Hic-" Is this the painful death Archangel Uriel's Wing mentioned? She said people who did a lot of bad things throughout their lives and didn't ask for God's forgiveness before their death get to die painfully with the same amount of sins they have committed.

Far from Hun's location, Priest Asher ran as fast as he could, but he suddenly halted when he sensed an uncomfortable feeling within him. Something urging him to hurry to where 'Sister Oriana' is, but the other part of that feeling is telling him not to go. A confusing feeling but what to do? He decided to go after the first choice leaving the latter until he reaches her, based on what he'll see, he will react. After all, he has been directly blessed by the priest and even Archangel Michael.

Through the cold breeze blowing on his face while he runs toward his destination, tears started streaming down his cheeks, he halted again and touched his cheeks to check and shockingly, he was crying, but there were no emotions within him but fear, no sense of sadness or anything similar to it.

Back to the hidden place where Hun was kept, his tears didn't stop while he keeps choking for air. The pain started becoming unbearable until someone finally entered the room.

"Tsk. Look at yourself, trembling from your heat" Hun's body halted for a second before it went back into trembling. 'Heat?' He wondered in horror, 'but... I never had one!'

"Hmmm you might be wondering why you're in one but based on what I'm seeing, it seems you're a late bloom. Heh! I wonder what you did for your heat to take that long to come" The man's smirk and scary eyes sent shivers down Hun's spine. An idea came to him of what might happen to him now.

A newly bloomed succubus, surrounded by hungry beasts that see nothing but sins and desires. He heard tons of those scenarios when he used to live among the devils, each one would come back energetic and filled with stories a mortal won't be able to imagine. Hun used to listen to them- by force of course- but after he leaves, he returns to the human realm to clean his mind and soul from all the stuff he heard.

The devils would be proud of humans and the things they do, but most of them? their fear from them increases with every story they hear. As if humans are the devils and not them.

Right now, Hun is witnessing one of the samples the devils created without even realizing how destructive he'd be. A strange kind of energy was emitting from him, the closer he was getting to him, the more suffocating it'd become for Hun. & for some weirder reasons, it felt like his energy was being absorbed.

'What is happening to me?' His body trembled, but this time was for another reason, 'it's worse than my sudden heat!'

"Don't worry little thing~ It won't hurt after a few minutes~" He extended his hands preparing to do whatever unholy things in his mind, but an explosion made him halt and turn to look back to meet up with a blinding light. White robe & black hair as dark as night faced him before his head flew off his body.

Hun watched in horror as the man who was all laugh on the ground, cold & motionless.

"Sister Oriana?" The scary father said calmly, but he suddenly panicked when the poor sister was wavering and about to lose consciousness. "Sister?! Sister!?!" He shook her hoping for an answer but she kept her eyes closed with her unsteady breathing, worrying him further.

Unable to contain the fear he had in his heart, he held her between his arms closely and walked outside the room toward the exit he created.

"You! You Archangel's gifted assholes!! The day will come when none of you will be able to stand against us and our demons!!" Someone who was bleeding heavily screamed while trying to catch up to the escaping duo, but Father Asher turned to face him with his blue eyes and grey hair. He said nothing, just looked at the bodies on the ground before he walked away before blazing fire set the whole place ablaze leaving nothing but floating ashes in the dark sky with the red moon.

The silent land was filled with howling cries of the devil's minions. Everyone listened in horror thinking something happened, but the Archangel's wings calmed them by releasing the news of the destruction of one of the Devil's dens that was hidden highlighting it as "A Close Call".

In Archangel Michael's temple, the Archangel's wing walked toward Father Asher's room. He looked around before he opened the door slowly and entered it before he closed the door behind him. He looked at the bed where Sister Oriana was laying with a terrible fever, he then turned to the far corner of the room and saw Father Asher bandaging his bleeding scars.

"You overworked your body, I fear she will panic and cry if she sees you like that, probably blame herself for all this"

"It was my choice to use the Archangel's blessing, none of it is her fault. Augh!"

The old man rubbed his long beard, "hmmm" he opened his eyelids to reveal the glowing blue orbs, he turned to look at the bed then back at the man on the ground, "he seems very unique for his type" he mumbled.

"What did you say Father?" The young man flinched when he heard the old one mumble something, he was afraid he said something related to the state the Sister was in.

"I said the Sister will be in danger if she remains here. After all, this is a place where only men are allowed. This is the dorms Father Asher so please rush your plans to send the Sister back to hers." Father Asher was sure that wasn't what the Archangel's Wing said but he didn't protest and simply nodded his head.
