I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Irina and Genovya's eyes widened immediately upon sensing it.

This sacred aura, holy power? One of our own?

But why is he with a demon? Could it be that he has fallen...? No... this aura doesn't seem like that of a fallen person.

"Who are you?" Irina, with her twin ponytails, stared intently at the smiling Reiji, as if trying to detect something unusual about him.

"Hmm... just a human with some power in this city..."

Vali and the others didn't want to have any interaction with these people, and they didn't follow Rezer when he left to take his leave, since the two groups were indeed not on good terms.

The purpose of this visit was simply to give Rei the information he wanted in person. Vali also planned to stay in this area for a while, as his intuition told him that he would encounter what he wanted to see here.

P.S.: Emmm, creating your own chant for eternal destruction is quite difficult; you have to look up various classical Chinese texts or poems.

Chapter 52 Genova/Irina: Happiness Came Too Suddenly

Inside a Japanese restaurant, next to Little Orpheus, Rezer watched with a faint smile as the two girls in front of him wolfed down their food.

"Why can't you two church members afford a meal here?"

The two girls who were rapidly devouring the food on the table opposite Lei Zhe became somewhat embarrassed and alert after hearing Lei Zhe's question.

The embarrassment stems from embarrassing incidents involving oneself.

The reason they were on guard was because Razer had just been with a demon. Although the holy aura emanating from him was genuine, the fact that he had been with a demon made them wary.

"It's all that girl's fault. She insisted on buying that weird-looking painting and spent all our funds. I think she was probably scammed!"

Genova put a tempura to his mouth and took a vicious bite, complaining to Irina next to him.

"You should eat more elegantly! Food scraps and grease are falling all over me! Besides, that's not some strange painting; it's clearly an artwork depicting a saint!"

With that, Irina Wisteria, her face full of stubbornness, took the picture frame off her back.

Lei Zhe looked at the painting and his lips twitched slightly. The painting depicted a human figure with slanted eyes and a pouting mouth, a white halo above its head, a pair of small white wings on its back, and several babies wearing diapers in the background.

Overall, the painting is not bad, but calling it a work of art by a saint is a gross exaggeration; it doesn't resemble a saint at all.

It's just a sample painting that's only of average to above-average quality; it's not even as good as Mashiro's previous paintings.

"A saint!? You used all our money to buy this blatantly knock-off painting, making us suffer along with you. People look at us like we're mentally ill! Were you sent by God to test my faith!?"

Genova glared at the painting and Irina through gritted teeth, wishing he could tear the painting to shreds and give the guy a good beating.

After hearing their story, Orpheus stopped eating, looked at them expressionlessly, and said, "Two strange older sisters."

Irina's face turned somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Orpheus's words, but she still stubbornly insisted on her statement.

"I... I didn't want this to happen either. But we met some kind people, and the problem has been solved. If we miss this painting, we might lose it forever."

"You heretic! In your eyes, our problems are less important than your lousy painting, right?!" Genova was furious when he heard Irina's shameless and stubborn sophistry.

Sure enough, they're two idiots.

Rezhe watched the two bickering with a smile. Compared to the shy and introverted Aisha, these two were indeed rivals.

As they argued, the two eventually took their anger out on the food. Both felt they were in the right, and if they continued arguing, the food would probably get cold.

"Phew... I'm finally full and recharged. Being hungry before was so painful."

Irina Zifang leaned back lazily in her chair, rubbing her little belly, and said with a satisfied smile.

"Thank you so much, but how could someone with such divine power as you associate with demons?"

Genova thanked Reiji, then returned to the group, looking at Reiji with a serious and earnest expression and asking questions.

A person with such a divine aura should not have any good contact with unclean demons; if they do, they should be enemies.

"Don't get me wrong, I do not like demons as a whole, but those few are exceptions. Vali is half human and half demon, and apart from being warlike, he is not a bad person."

Rezhe chuckled and casually explained to the two that he didn't have any ill feelings towards Vali.

After all, Vali was so devoted to his mother, and apart from being belligerent, you couldn't really call him a villain. He didn't inherit the wicked character of his ancestors.

"I really don't know how you became friends with a demon. Don't you hate his demonic aura? Doesn't he fear your holy aura?"

Upon hearing this, Irina Zifang understood somewhat; half-human, half-demon hybrids might indeed possess human aspects.

However, it seemed quite unbelievable that someone like Razer, who possessed a divine aura, had become friends with that silver-haired man.

The power conflict between the two sides would cause them to have an innate aversion and fear of each other, and the fact that they could become friends without caring about each other's strength surprised Irina Zifang.

"Fortunately, we both know each other to some extent and don't dislike each other in our hearts."

He wiped Orpheus's mouth after he finished eating, and said nonchalantly to the two of them.

"I have another question. Why do you possess divine power? You don't seem to belong to the church. Are you a holder of a divine artifact?"

After Genovya understood the relationship between Reiji and those demons, she inquired about the unique characteristics of the other party.

If someone who isn't a member of the church encounters a wild, divine artifact wielder, it might be worth considering trying to win them over.

"Hmm... My identity? You should ask her that. Your boss will tell you what he needs to know."

Reiji casually took out a card with golden wing patterns from his body and infused it with a trace of divine power, much to the surprise of Genovia and Irina.

This is the contact magic card that Gabriel respectfully handed to him when he left. He can contact her directly if he needs anything, and she will come whenever he calls.

Rezhe knew that the two wielders of the Holy Sword were headed for Kuoh Town, but he wouldn't allow them to have any dealings with the demons he hated.

Especially Rias and the others, since in the original story, these two became reincarnated demons after learning of the god's death.

Reiji doesn't want to see anyone send talent, especially demons, to others.

Irina and the others had never seen an angel's communication magic card before, but the intense, divine aura emanating from the card was so obvious to them.

It looked like a communication tool; the two of them almost mistook it for some lost relic.

After emitting a faint light, the card, according to Reiji's instructions, immediately pulled the consciousnesses of Genovya and Irina Shidou into it.

The two people outside only looked confused for a moment, but the flow of time was different in the communication space constructed by the card.

The two of them inexplicably found themselves in a space filled with sacred clouds. Before they could even be aware of their situation, they were interrupted by a pleasant female voice.

"Your Highness, what urgent matter is it...? Huh? Why are there two other people here?"

Gabriel's consciousness blinked her golden eyes with a somewhat dazed look, and the wings on her back fluttered slightly with her puzzled mood.

Irina and Genovya stared blankly at the beautiful figure radiating a rich, sacred aura before them. The wings behind her and the holy halo above her head clearly indicated her identity.

An angel!?

“These two are church members I met by chance, and they are the wielders of the Holy Sword. I would like to temporarily employ them. Gabriel, please take charge of negotiating with them, since they don’t know me yet.”

Another familiar male voice rang out, and the two women turned their heads slightly to see Lei Zhe talking to the angel beside them.

And what did they say again? They're requisitioning us, Gabriel!?!?!?!

"You...you...you...you are Lord Seraphim Gabriel!?"

Genovia stared wide-eyed at the beautiful angel before her. This was no ordinary angel, but the infamous Gabriel!

Oh God, Lord, am I dreaming? Did You hear my prayers and answer me?

"What...what is going on, Holy Son? Gabriel? I must be dreaming. I was just in the restaurant a moment ago."

Irina Zifang looked somewhat dazed, her eyes glazed over. She was struggling to accept the shocking events that had suddenly unfolded before her eyes, and subconsciously thought she was just daydreaming.

But it was worth it. It was already a rare treat to see such a beautiful angel, and she would accept it even if it was just a daydream.

"The wielder of the Church's holy sword, huh? It's such a trivial matter..."

Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Rezel had called her for something important. She was discussing important matters with Michael, who was extremely excited to learn that the Lord was still alive, when Rezel suddenly contacted her.

Gabriel, who puts Rezer first in everything, didn't care about his colleague Michael's expression and started communicating directly, after all, Rezer's relationship with the Lord was too deep.

If another terrorist organization like the "Disaster Group" were to attack Razer, it would be tantamount to attacking his beloved Lord.

Next came the negotiation between Gabriel and Irina. The two women, whose values ​​had been somewhat shattered, quickly rebuilt their understanding, and their expressions immediately became excited.

The order was personally given by Archangel Gabriel, and the guards of the Holy Son obeyed. Did they never expect that the strangers they encountered would be so powerful?

Moreover, Gabriel said very seriously that this Holy Son was not the kind of being granted by the Church, but was personally certified by the Lord himself, and only a few beings knew about it.

They are incredibly lucky to have been selected; it's like an ordinary person suddenly winning a hundred million in the lottery—what an immense honor!

"As guards, your strength is somewhat inadequate, so consider this a gift to you."

After explaining everything, Gabriel frowned slightly as he looked at the two girls. They were simply not qualified to be Reiji's bodyguards.

She had witnessed firsthand how powerful Lei Zhe was; he was someone who had defeated the Infinite Dragon God in a head-on battle.

Razer's power can undoubtedly be described as that of a lord of armies; his divine power is even greater than that of her and Michael.

That makes sense, though. This is the chosen one, the Holy Son. How could he be an ordinary person?

"call out--!"

Gabriel's wings trembled slightly, and two holy feathers detached from his wings, turning into two beams of light that entered the foreheads of Genovia and Irina, giving them a bit of protection.

Protecting Reiji is protecting the Lord. If Reiji hadn't refused to ask for other guards, Gabriel himself would have been more than willing to serve.

After they came out of the communication space, only a second or two had passed in the outside world, which was only a short time for the two women to be in a daze.

After his gaze cleared and he looked at Lei Zhe's smiling face, he immediately started breathing heavily, and his eyes flashed with an extremely fervent emotion.

"Then I look forward to your guidance in the future."

"Yes, Your Holiness!!"

Genovia and Irina Zifang responded with immense excitement, saying that this was an unparalleled honor.

In the consciousness space, Gabriel also promised the two that if they did well and satisfied Rezhe, it wouldn't be a problem for them to be promoted to reincarnated angels, and not just ordinary reincarnated angels.

This was an unparalleled blessing for two church members with faith.

As for the original mission to retrieve the Holy Sword? Forget about it, I have to protect the Holy Son. That's much more important than the Holy Sword.

skyline.

The environment here is extremely beautiful and sacred. Even the roads are paved with floating white clouds. Ancient stone pillars support the magnificent palace, which stands above the clouds, like a sky garden without any support.

In paradise, sacred creatures are everywhere: pure white horses radiating light, fish swimming in pools filled with divine energy, and tiny spirits of light frolicking among the garden flowers.
