Angel Realm

There are two final destinations for an angel's life, one is the return of the Holy Spirit to the Nine Heavens, and the other is to be swallowed by monsters.

Either way, Lilith couldn't accept it.

"You can't do this to me, Al." She whispered softly, stroking Gabriel's increasingly cold face with trembling hands. "You can't treat me like this."

Lilith couldn't feel Gabriel's coldness, but she could feel her heart slowly getting colder.

Things shouldn't be like this.

She thought repeatedly.

Why on earth would it become like this?

Lilith's thinking finally began to slowly clear up.

The angel came here with the determination to die, that's why he said it for the last time.He wanted to end his life by himself, but he didn't consider her feelings at all.

"You're so cruel, Al..."

Lilith's whole body was stiff, almost collapsing because of this fact, she felt a place in her heart was constantly collapsing.

"You are too cruel to me..." She chose the most difficult path because of her love for the unreachable angel. She is not afraid of any dangers and disasters, and she can even be an enemy of God the Father and the kingdom of heaven.

She is full of ambition, even if she suffers, she will not waver.As long as Gabriel, as long as the angel smiled at her, as long as he reached out to her, as long as he could call her name, she never thought of giving up.

"How could you do this to me?"

The archangel who had always been gentle to her wanted to take away her goal at the very beginning of her journey.

"It's just an angel, why is it more cruel than a selfish human being?" She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Because the extreme of human selfishness and cruelty is something angels can never learn.

Sorry, Lilith.

The angel still had an indelible thought in his mind.

He is fearless in the end of life, the light of death does not make him feel afraid, he is willing to accept the most thorough return.

But up to now he has a lot of reluctance and worries.He will never see Lilith again, and will never be able to protect her again. He hurt her, and maybe she will feel resentment towards him in her heart. Live the life she wants.

I am sorry.

He wished he could say it himself at the last moment.

"I won't make your wish come true, Gabriel." Lilith's voice was so cold and rigid.

It was a tone Gabriel had never heard before.His holy spirit had already begun to leave his body, and the scene in the darkness became clear. Like a bystander, he saw Lilith tearing off his blouse, exposing her skinny body.

"You'll never get rid of me."

Gabriel felt intense unease in his heart, he wanted to call Lilith's name, and wanted to tell her not to do stupid things.But he couldn't do anything, he could only watch Lilith lean down, show her fangs, and kiss his chest.

"Gabriel, in the name of God, I command you not to die before me." God's obscure name was imprinted on the angel's heart by the witch's kiss, and the dark red mantra disappeared in a flash, hiding in him In the skin, a powerful contract is formed.

That contract imprisoned the angel's heart and soul like a chain, and the flow of life force finally stopped.Gabriel could feel the warm glow fading away, and the spirit body was pulled back to the body by a powerful force, followed by terrible pain.

He shook for a moment, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at those increasingly bright red pupils in disbelief.

"Lily... Si?"

He was not only shocked by the magic that Lilith cast that even he couldn't understand, but also shocked by her cold vertical pupils that were as dangerous as a beast.

"Gabriel, I want to punish you." Lilith's voice was low and slow, full of danger.

Gabriel couldn't see her appearance clearly, but there was no doubt that she must have undergone great changes after drinking blood, and it could be felt just from the strength flowing out of her body.

"No..." He was still weak, unable to resist at all.

Lilith's fingers moved across his body, and the place where the fingertips passed was hot and painful.

Gabriel's hair was scattered and his clothes were messy. There was a bit of fear and anxiety on his face, and his beautiful face looked soft and pitiful.His body, which was so white that it was almost crystal clear due to the loss of blood, was so weak that Lilith couldn't help but want to bully him fiercely.

Lilith's eyesight at this time was astonishingly good, and she could see him clearly even in the dark.

"What are you doing... Lilith." His body trembled from the pain caused by Lilith's fingers, but he had no strength to resist her.

Lilith licked her lips. Different from her innocent or sweet voice in the past, the voice of the Witch of the Night was low and evil, "Do...what you once taught me."

The vague consciousness prevented Gabriel from understanding the meaning of that sentence for a moment, but immediately after, Lilith's kiss landed on his chin.

He suddenly started to panic.

"No, Lilith..."

"This is your punishment for leaving me, and you have no right to refuse." Her kiss slowly went down.

Gabriel shook his head, like a fish out of the water struggling for the last time, "But...angels have no desires. You are... meaningless..."

Lilith paused, then tilted her head and asked him innocently, "Then why are you panicking?"

Gabriel was exhausted, but the pain kept him from sleeping.Lilith's question made him unable to answer, so he could only call her name weakly, "Lilith..."

Lilith stroked the messy hair on his face with her hands, her voice was gentle, but her words were strong, "Gabriel, you actually want to leave me in this way, I beg you like that. You hypocritical angel, don't you?" Aren't you ashamed of such behavior?"

Gabriel groaned in pain.

He was already too ashamed to be ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Lilith."

"That's not what I want to hear." Lilith tapped his heart with her fingertips and said softly, "Perhaps you are right, the body of an angel has no desires."

"But, where's your heart?"

But what about your heart?

Gabriel couldn't answer her.

He refused to admit it, but he couldn't lie either.

"Listen," Lilith leaned against his chest, turned her head and put her ear on his heart, her fingertips were still scratching on his skin, "the voice of your heart."

Gabriel could feel his heart beating violently.

"That's because you hurt me Lilith." He closed his eyes and said weakly.

Lilith asked him with a smile. "But who said that pain is not desire?"

Gabriel finally stopped talking.

Lilith didn't just change physically.This kind of her made Gabriel feel strange, and her questioning made him unable to face it.She used a method that he didn't expect to forcefully spare his life. Their powers were reversed at this moment, and she said that she would punish him.

He closed his eyes sadly.

Lilith, you finally stay away from me.

Gabriel's throat let out a low groan from the pain inflicted by Lilith's fingers, and the slender fingertips were like the tip of a knife across his face, his chest, and his legs.He wanted to curl up in pain, his head was dazed and his mind was confused.

"Lilith...it hurts..." He never knew that he could not bear the pain so much, but he had never felt that pain.

It was not a simple pain, it was not like the pain of a short knife cutting into the flesh, nor was it like the pain of a broken wing bone.Lilith's fingers were like a dagger with feathers in it, gently touching his nerves while cutting open the skin.

Make him intolerable.

Gabriel's body tensed up, his head was tilted up and he gasped in pain, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably, "... Lilith... let me go..."

He was almost sobbing.

No one would believe that this helplessly crying angel was the archangel in front of the imperial court, Gabriel, the governor of the Moon Sky, and even Gabriel couldn't believe that it was himself at this time.Maybe it's because of weakness, maybe it's because of the dying experience, maybe it's because of Lilith's changes.Strong emotions he had never felt robbed him of his sanity.

Lilith lowered her head and pecked his lips.

"Lilith, Lilith, Lilith..."

He seemed to never say anything other than her name, calling her over and over again with a voice like a docile kitten.

"It hurts..."

It hurts, Lilith.

He straightened up unconsciously.

The fiery pain was so real that Gabriel even had the illusion that he had been living in illusion before that.

"Lilith..." His body convulsed instinctively.

At this moment, Gabriel felt that he had experienced all the sensory feelings from the past to the future, and seemed to release all the emotions of this life.

"It hurts, doesn't it?" Lilith's warm breath carried a moist aroma, "Then why does your body chase pain?"

Gabriel seemed to be salvaged from blood, and his whole body was drenched. It was hard to tell whether the water stains were tears, sweat, or blood.

"I think, if it hurts you more, you may be able to understand how I feel just now."

Samuel came back more than half a day later than usual. He felt that no matter what kind of ceremony it took so long, it should be over.

He pushed the door lightly, feeling blocked by something, but finally opened a gap.

"Al?"

The door shook a few times before Gabriel's weak voice came out.

"Well, come in, Samuel."

Samael pushed the door open, and the dim light entered the room, and he saw the angel sitting by the door at a glance.

Gabriel's original water-blue long hair has completely faded, and it is silvery white and transparent. The body exposed by the broken clothes is grayish white, with dried blood and wounds all over it.His expression was slightly confused, and his vision was hazy.

And Lilith was sleeping on his lap.

"Al!" Samuel was shocked by what he saw before him. Gabriel was in a state a million times worse than he expected. Only then did he notice that the other party was missing a pair of wings.

Gabriel looked up at him, the color of his pupils was so pale that it almost merged with the whites of his eyes.

"Lilith is fine."

He smiled softly, a fragile and illusory smile.

Samuel was stunned by that smile, and had the illusion that Gabriel was no longer in this world.He was frightened by the thought that suddenly popped up in his heart, so he squatted down quickly to check his condition.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were downgraded!" He was not good at healing magic, so he frantically helped him treat the wound, and injected him with the power of angels regardless of waste. "You're like God, you're all bastards!"

"I'm fine..." Gabriel shook his head, stroking Lilith's long hair with his left hand, "It's much better than before. The power in Lilith's body is changing, she needs to rest now, and this process may continue For a while, please take good care of her."

"I'm not talking about Lilith now!" Samuel couldn't hide his anger, he squeezed his wrist tightly, and said seriously: "I asked why you didn't tell me! If you are in this situation, how can I let you Help Lilith. Don't you think I will frame my brother's life for her!"

"Because you don't know how to do it, Samuel, but what about Lilith?" Gabriel explained gently, "Not only do you want to save her, but I... want her to be well more than you do."

"Damn!" Samuel was annoyed because he couldn't refute, "Damn, you bastard!"

"And, am I okay now?"

How is it that it's okay like this?

It's always been like this.Each of the seven angels who created the world with God the Father at the beginning has its own distinct and strong personality. They support and help each other, and of course there will be differences and quarrels.But only Gabriel, he will never argue with you, he will always tell you the truth with a soft tone and a peaceful attitude, so that you cannot object.

You can hardly feel strong emotions from him.There is no doubt that the Archangel of Water is pure and upright, conscientious and loyal, gentle and courteous.But in Samael's memory, he never laughed or cried bitterly.Even if he was allowed to see his astonishing masterpiece - human beings, he just smiled and congratulated him.

It made him feel like he couldn't get into Gabriel's heart, and it made him feel unspeakably frustrated, and he believed that he was not alone in feeling this way.

"Gabriel, you are really selfish." Samuel said slowly after thinking for a long time, "Yes, you are really selfish."

"Lilith said the same." Gabriel was not angry, "Can you take her away? She needs a better place to rest."

Samuel looked at their postures and felt that something was wrong, "It's not just her, you also need to take a good rest."

He could feel the condition of Lilith's body. This deep sleep was only because she was digesting too much power. He believed that when Lilith woke up, no one would be able to despise her again.

"Yes, Samuel," the water angel lowered his head, looking carefully at the person lying on his lap, "I need to go back to the heaven immediately."

Samuel sighed, "Let me see you off. I'll carry Lilith in first."

Gabriel pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "Good Samuel... please let me say goodbye to Lilith."

He lowered his head as he spoke.

Lilith's appearance has improved a lot. The red spots on her body are gradually fading away, but her long hair has completely changed from flaxen to red. In the hair near the forehead, the two short black horns have grown significantly.She slept peacefully, as if she had never suffered any suffering, and was as carefree as a newborn baby.

Her improvement may be Samuel's only consolation now.

Samuel has never doubted Al's gentleness, but this is the first time he has seen him like this.The long hair blocked his sight so that he couldn't see the expression of the water angel clearly, but he knew that the other party's eyes must be so gentle that they could drip water now.

Gabriel's eyes were so focused and reluctant, he kissed Lilith's long hair tenderly, his feeble hands reluctantly stroked her cheek, and he whispered in her ear, "Farewell, Lilith. "
