So I'm a sheep.

"Don't come in!"

"Get away, all of you get away!"

"Nobody can control me, nobody!"

............................................

His body was covered in bloody cracks, and his head might have cracked as well.

The little girl's vision turned completely red. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Instead, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

It continuously draws life force from the sea of ​​blood and injects it into itself; however, the rate at which its body breaks down is far faster than the rate at which it can be repaired.

I never imagined that I would be doomed so inexplicably.

Why not accept change?

Change...

I only ever choose to change myself. You can't force me to change by forcing my head down.

Don't you want to be the light?

I don't understand what you're saying.

Perhaps it was a hallucination before she died, but the little girl saw a glorious angelic life that belonged to 'herself'.

She thwarted the devil's plot and performed a great service.

Upon returning to Starlight, Commander Evelyn recognized his potential and began to nurture him.

He wasn't groomed to be an adjutant, but rather to be the next commander of the Starlight.

Two hundred years later, Commander Evelyn rejoined Dawn, and she, the newly promoted Seraphim, took power.

Just as the all-out war between the Celestial Realm and Purgatory broke out, he led the Starlight and made many outstanding contributions in the war.

His Highness Hill values ​​him highly, and perhaps, maybe, that holy angel has fallen in love with him.

After the Celestials once again banished the demons back to purgatory, they successfully advanced and were promoted by Prince Hill to become the commander of the Dawn Legion.

Seraphim Sariel is just, impartial, and hates evil. She is revered by all angels as the 'Light of Dawn'.

The great God saw even greater potential in this seraphim, and she bestowed upon her twelve trials, promising...

Stop, stop

This is outrageous! If this continues, I'll become a holy angel.

The little girl could only smile bitterly to herself. She knew she was never such a powerful angel, and she would never achieve such earth-shattering success in the future.

'Become light'

'Lord of Light, King of Angels, how can you not bear the title of a holy angel?'

'...'

Still unwilling?

Yes, I don't want to.

Why not?

because......

I've never been a champion of justice, hahaha.

A faint sigh echoed from a distant time and space, as the great being posed one last question.

Do you like the name?

Ok?

Do you like the name Sally?

It's great, I like it very much!

'So, Saliye is Sasha, which is &*%+#&, would you be willing?'

I do.

..............................................

The crystal brooch emitted a red glow, and as a continuous flow of life force entered, Sasha gradually regained consciousness.

'The injury is quite serious.'

'What am I doing...'

Feeling dizzy, the little girl realized that she seemed to have lost her memory of what had just happened.

'It was so painful that you fainted.'

'kindness......'

'My head doesn't hurt anymore. I... I did it?'

'I've successfully broken the devil's curse!'

"Speaking of which, when exactly did I fall for her trick? Was it when I shook her hand?"

'...'

Something seems off.

Even though I'm drawing all my life force from the Blood Sea, why are my injuries still worsening?!

He wanted to call out to the archangels to come in and send him back to his superior to save his life.

However, the little girl couldn't make a sound.

'No way'

After clearly hearing the sound of her body gradually cracking, the little girl felt a strong sense of unreality.

I have a feeling I shouldn't die here...

"Pah, pah, pah! I'm not dead yet!"

'Calm down, Sasha! Use your brain and think of a solution!'

The life force I extracted with the Light of Life wasn't entirely ineffective; it just meant my body was breaking down faster than it could be repaired.

Therefore—

To survive, you must upgrade your Light of Life!

The problem is, given the current situation...

'Wait, perhaps it's precisely in this situation that I can gain new insights.'

Sofia broke through the barrier between life and death, so if she can do it, I definitely can too! (Probably)

The girl stopped daydreaming and calmed down to look for an opportunity to break through.

Strangely enough, as soon as Sasha calmed down, all sorts of brilliant ideas flashed through her mind.

Normally, simply absorbing the sea of ​​blood would have been enough to advance one's life force several times over.

However, this process is measured in centuries.

Is there any way to quickly absorb the power of the Blood Sea?

"..."

You have to drink water sip by sip. How can you drink the whole ocean at once? You'd definitely choke to death.

So, let's think about it from a different perspective!

P.S.: 'Sariel' is the Archangel of Miracles, the future King of Angels. This name is imbued with the goddess's expectations, and with her bloodline completely sealed, Sasha is unconsciously influenced by it. However, this clashes with her true nature, causing Sasha occasional headaches. At the height of the conflict, the goddess asked her if she was willing to walk the path of the King of Angels; the little girl answered no, so that was the end of it. The current outcome is that Sariel became Sasha, not the other way around.

Volume 1: Chapter 272 You Are Also Light

The Sea of ​​Blood is not actually a sea; its essence is a vast life force.

If Sasha wanted, she could easily turn it into mountains, forests, deserts, glaciers...

The problem is, even after transforming into these things, the little girl still can't solve her current predicament.

Just as one cannot drink the entire ocean in one gulp, Sasha cannot eat a mountain range, or swallow a forest, desert, or glacier in one bite.

'My life force is too small, while the life force within the crystal pin's space is far too vast.'

'No matter what it becomes, after thinking it over, there's nothing I can do about it in the short term!'

'Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm'

Most of her body had completely collapsed, but the little girl was still deep in thought.

"Absorbing won't work; we need to find another way."

'so......'

Assimilation?

How to assimilate? How to assimilate quickly?

'Since assimilation is the goal, it must be based on the light of my life.'

'The light of life...yes, the light of life!'

When only one head remained, Sasha finally understood.

Its head rolled over and into the space of the crystal brooch.

With a splash, something round fell from the sky above the sea of ​​blood.

'The sea of ​​blood is not a sea, it is light!'

In the blink of an eye, a sea of ​​blood churned.

The next moment, boundless light of life filled the area around the little head.

"Hahahaha, I am light, and you are light too."

"We are one, inseparable!"
