Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Araniel fell face-first into the ground, unconscious. Her head smacked against a rock as her body hit the ground, and the world went dark for an instant.

"What?!" Salathiel turned back, to see Lilith who managed to successfully create a portal to find her father beaten up.

Lilith created another sword and raised it toward Salathiel, who frowned in rage.

"You bitch." Salathiel's voice was venomous and her hand rose from his side toward Lilith. "You will pay for this!"

Salathiel prepared to charge at Lilith, but Araniel's hand grabbed her leg.

"Don't bother. Just take us home." Araniel said in a weak tone, her face still buried in the ground. The sword was still stuck inside Araniel's back

Salathiel gazed down and sighed. "You sure? We can just tell Lucas that she attacked us first."

"Urgh. Hurts." Araniel groaned. "Take this thing out of me!"

"Sorry, sis." Salathiel looked at Lilith with an apologetic expression. She grabbed the sword's hilt and yanked on it once more, finally pulling the blade out of her sister. Blood poured from Araniel's back as she gasped for air, clutching her wound tightly.

Salathiel rushed over to her sister's side and helped her to stand up. "You alright?"

"Just tired." Araniel opened her eyes and turned to Lilith. Her eyes were cold and unreadable. "You will fucking regret this." she threatened as she walked through the portal.

Meanwhile, Lilith continued holding the sword as she looked around, thinking that the angels could teleport toward her from any side. But after a few moments, she dropped the sword and rushed to her father.

"Dad!" she yelled as she ran up to him. "Are you okay?!"

Isaac was still unconscious, half of his face was completely obliterated by Araniel, while the other half was damaged. There was a massive hole in his stomach. He also had broken ribs and a fractured jaw, among many other wounds.

"Oh no..." Lilith gasped, tears coming to her eyes as she crouched next to him. "Dad! Dad!" she shook his shoulder frantically. "Wake up!"

There was little response, and Lilith put both hands on Isaac's shoulders to try and shake him awake. Then she saw the blood flowing out of his mouth, pooling around his chest.

"Dad! What happened?! Are you okay?!" Lilith cried, she extended her palms above him and released holy mana, and started healing his body. "Please wake up!"

Lilith's magic worked, and Isaac slowly came back to life, gasping for breath.

"Lilith...?" he coughed.

"Dad!" Lilith jumped up and hugged him tightly.

Isaac's eyes glowed and his body healed in the instant. He hugged Lilith back, but his hands were trembling, and his face was pale.

"Dad! You're alright!" Lilith smiled happily.

But Isaac wasn't smiling, nor was he breathing steadily. His face was contorted in pain and he looked like death. He was thinking about how embarrassing was that he couldn't keep his consciousness in his body during the fight against Araniel. Then another thought came which horrified him even more, he gazed at Lilith with a pained expression.'If the blonde angel wanted to kill her, Lilith would have been dead.' He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.

"I'm so sorry..." he whispered. "I couldn't protect you."

"Huh?" Lilith looked at her dad confused. "What do you mean?"

Isaac's eyes widened as he realized that Lilith didn't even remember that the angel had kidnapped her during his fight against Araniel. "Right..." He let out a long sigh and closed his eyes. "It doesn't matter anymore."

He then looked at Lilith again and took her hand. "Let's go."

Lucas sat on his throne; watched the scene that unfolded on an unknown planet through the crystal ball and gritted his teeth. His face was twisted in fury as he looked at Salathiel holding Lilith captive, while Araniel was pounding Isaac's face.

"Out of all people, they could anger..." he muttered as he closed his eyes before taking a deep breath. Then he yelled "THEY PISSED OF A FUCKING GOD?! THEY GOT WHAT'S COMING TO THEM!!"

He punched the crystal ball, shattering it. He stood up from the throne, and walked toward the exit, trying to think about possible consequences.

"Isaac is a very vengeful god," a shiver went down Lucas's spine as he muttered, "In the best case scenario, I would be reincarnated; in worst, erased."

He stopped himself and shook his head. "No, it will be fine..." he wondered, "As long as I can become as strong as those two, I will be fine."

"Yes, sir." He heard Salathiel's voice.

"Huh?" Lucas's turned back, startled.

He noticed a white portal and Salathiel with Araniel walking through. Araniel was leaning toward Salathiel and was wearing a maid costume, which made Lucas involuntarily chuckle.

"We're back!~" Salathiel bowed her head.

"S-Sorry we went away without permission." Araniel apologized nervously.

"Oh? Where did you go?" Lucas asked as if he didn't know.

"Uh..." Two angel girls exchanged gazes as they thought whether to lie or not, and Araniel finally answered: "To fight a god."

"To fight a god. Amazing" Lucas smiled sarcastically.

"Thank you, master." Araniel curtsied deeply.

Lucas's smile turned to a frown and he exclaimed. "Are you two fucking kidding me?!"

"S-Sorry." Salathiel awkwardly chuckled, knowing well that this would be Lucas's reaction. "H-He invaded our temple!" Salathiel stuttered as she looked at Araniel waiting for her support.

However, Araniel fell asleep right after she thanked Lucas. The moment she thought Lucas wasn't angry, all tension in her body dissolved and she fell asleep.

"WHAAT THE HELL?!" Lucas roared in anger.

Then he looked down at Araniel, who was sleeping peacefully. "Well, I guess... She deserves some rest..." he said as he thought about her fight with Isaac. 'If she's rested well, she'll be able to protect me in case Isaac decides to retaliate.' he thought.

"S-Sorry..." Salathiel bowed her head.

"Dammit, Get Araniel to her room." Lucas waved his hand dismissively.

Salathiel nodded and lifted Araniel to carry her to her room. She looked at Lucas one more time and muttered.

"Master, are you going to punish us?" she asked in a low tone, she gazed down to avoid Lucas's eye contact, but her eyes sparkled. "I-I don't mind you testing new attacks on me."

Lucas watched the fight from the moment Isaac entered the temple and confronted the guard, Jacob. It was Jacob who told him about god's arrival as Araniel managed to teleport him from harm's way when Isaac attacked.

Lucas found out about Salathiel's kink, and there was no way in hell he was going to 'punish' her physically. He knew that punishing her would amount to rewarding her, so he shook his head.

"No, I am not going to do that." Lucas sighed.

"I-I think we deserve punishment."

"What do you have in mind?" Lucas asked while thinking about Salathiel showing her true colors. He looked at her in disbelief. 'How the hell I never noticed this side of her?!' he wondered.

Salathiel raised her hands in front of her chest. "Anything," she answered immediately. "You can punish me as much as you want!" she pleaded, then bit her lips nervously.

"Some other day," Lucas gestured dismissively. Then his gaze turned cold as he added. "When I find a way to punish you WITHOUT pleasuring you." he smiled deviously and watched Salathiel turn bright red and hurriedly walk to her room with Araniel's body over hers.

"Hm..." Lilith stretched her arms above her head and yawned before lying back in bed. The last few hours had been filled with many thoughts, questions, and concerns for her father. And now she was exhausted. She was having a hard time trying to sleep because she couldn't get any answers out of Isaac, who was sleeping soundly.

"What are angels?" she wondered as she remembered her father's condition after fighting Araniel. "How can they match the strength of a god." she bit her nail out of habit. "Does this mean Lucas would become as strong as they are?" Lilith pondered about what the consequences were if Lucas would grow into a god-like being or something like that.

"He is already very arrogant... What if there is no one who could stop him?" she shivered slightly as she thought about it.

She thought about it long enough that it made her drowsy, so she closed her eyes and drifted off in minutes without realizing it. But in her dream, she saw Lucas sitting on a throne, angel girls by his side, and Sarah sitting on his lap.

Lilith quickly jumped up from her bed and yelled out, "WHY THE HELL DOES HE HAVE SO MANY WOMEN?!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoed through the castle, waking Isaac up.

Isaac jumped from the bed, thinking there might be an attack against them while he was asleep.

"Who?! Lilith!?!" he exclaimed as he rushed toward Lilith's room. He opened the door with great speed to see Lilith standing in front of the mirror with a furious expression. She turned around to face him, and took a deep breath before continuing:

"I am going to kill him." Lilith exclaimed.

Isaac blinked in shock and grabbed her shoulders to look at her more closely.

"Kill whom?"

"Lucas."
