The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

[It can't be because he's unknowingly exercising when he's playing with those two kids, right?]

For example, during group activities, the gun fires like a dragon...

Hmm...maybe there's some truth to that?

Unable to listen any longer, Cecilia interrupted:

"...There's nothing strange about that. Angels are naturally skilled at using spear-like weapons."

Because the opponents that the angels fight against are generally not humanoid.

For thousands of years, the angels have been fighting against creatures much larger than themselves.

Giant creatures, colossal creatures, including some ancient dragons, are all of bizarre size.

The demons, in particular, are the angels' old adversaries and stand out among them.

For some demons, size represents power, and there is no shortage of extremely large individuals among all demons.

Therefore, angels are very skilled at using polearms to fight large creatures.

"Furthermore, didn't you notice? His spearmanship and swordsmanship actually follow the same pattern?"

【Huh?】

According to current classifications, Ariana is actually a spellcaster in the strict sense, and doesn't have a deep understanding of melee combat.

Cecilia, on the other hand, is different. Although she can wield the purest holy light power with every move she makes, she is actually a pure melee class.

"In human terms, it would be something like 'comprehensive understanding' or 'drawing inferences from one instance to another'?"

"For a warrior, if he can cross the threshold called legend, his whole aura will be different."

Because one has climbed a high mountain, one loses the useless sense of awe for other high mountains.

I can.

Such a mindset and will will subtly influence the soldiers.

"Moreover, you know without me saying how extraordinary his talent is."

Her golden eyes remained completely calm; she showed no surprise whatsoever at the miracle Ning Feng had just created.

"After all, that's him."

That is my lord...

Snapped!

Ah! Speaking of which, there's something I've always wanted to ask!

The loud clapping made the angel squint, but the demon who had done it all paid no attention, and suddenly...

Smiling at the angel, the demon suddenly asked a strange question:

Am I just imagining things? Why do I always feel that the "he" you're talking about and the "he" I'm talking about seem... a little different?

Or, in other words...

As Cecilia's eyes widened slightly, Ariana smiled seductively.

she says:

Are "he" and "he" really the same person?

Chapter 384 Actually, it wasn't the same person

From the very beginning, when you first appeared before him—no… when I first noticed you—I felt something was very strange.

Two tall, slender figures, one in black and one in white, stood side by side, appearing to be close friends from behind.

But in the past, this was something that would have been completely impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

They are enemies, enemies to the death, enemies with whom there will never be compromise.

Fight, kill, and then until one side dies.

That was their destiny.

It is the only destiny between the two completely opposing beings, the [Primordial Demon] and the [King of Angels].

And now, in this space that outsiders cannot perceive, the two beings are indeed coexisting peacefully, even standing side by side.

After making her shocking statement, Ariana's crimson eyes gleamed with an unreadable light.

She turned her head and whispered in the angel's ear as if bewitching him:

The him I see seems different from the him you see.

Because when you discovered me and him, you didn't immediately choose to eliminate evil.

The demon, who had almost returned to his original form, was laughing seductively, his smile incredibly radiant.

I could feel your murderous intent towards me back then. It was a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time, that kind of feeling that made my soul tremble! I even felt a surge of excitement.

[In fact, I was prepared to die at that time.]

The demon casually remarked on his life and death, as if it were nothing of value.

But... why didn't you take action in the end?

Ariana stared at Cecilia's profile, smiling as she asked herself:

Why did you, who held the absolute upper hand, suppress that ingrained instinct to eradicate evil? Why did you choose... to let me go?

Although the two did engage in a battle, the angel ultimately failed to completely destroy the demon, only forcing her into a state of slumber.

Although it may seem like just a momentary act of mercy from an angel, the devil knew that this was actually quite strange.

Very strange!

I know all too well the cruel nature beneath your kind exteriors, and I don't think you'd show any mercy to your old friend... after all, that's what I think too.

Angels are merciful, but only to those they will protect.

They never hesitate to strike hard against the evildoers they have sworn to eliminate.

Just as demons will not spare angels in distress, angels will never have the slightest pity for demons.

Such a thing never happens.

Since it wasn't because of me, then there seems to be only one reason... because of him.

he.

Ariana's contractor, the one who shares half of her life, status, destiny... and everything with her, the contractor she cherishes most in this world.

Ning Feng.

Because my destruction also signifies his death.

Perhaps you have the ability to kill me without killing him completely, but doing so would ultimately cause him immense harm.

Contractors share life and glory, and the bond between them cannot be severed by external forces.

But this seemingly unchangeable relationship is not entirely unsolvable for Cecilia.

If she is truly willing to pay the price, her abilities are precisely what allow her to control the situation.

So, a new question arises... why would you abandon the purification of me, this evil, for his sake?

Does he really have that much value in your eyes?

Staring at the angel, the demon's eyes lit up, carefully observing every reaction and detail of the other's actions.

She wanted to know the real answer.

Although they were always in the same situation and in the same space, the two equally aloof souls never truly had a heart-to-heart talk with each other.

They, or rather, among themselves, either engage in one-sided dialogue or remain silent.

Despite having plenty of time to talk while in the same space, Ariana and Cecilia did not become closer.

Even after Ariana declared that they should be allies, the situation remained the same.

"........."

But no matter what Ariana said, or even if she took actions that seemed like a coercive move, Cecilia remained calm, quietly watching Ning Feng fight on the screen.

It was as if he hadn't heard what Ariana was saying at all.

After staring at it for a long time, the demon seemed to suddenly understand, and shook his head and laughed:

So that's how it is... No wonder you weren't swayed at all, that's why.

[You noticed it too?! Honestly, you should have said so sooner...]

Turning away from her, Ariana looked at Ning Feng in the light screen and murmured to herself:

That makes sense. If it were you, you would have noticed the differences between us long ago.

"That's true, you do have those eyes."

Those golden eyes seemed to burn eternally.

The Eye of God?

No, no, no, hahaha!

That's something even more exaggerated than the Eye of God.

"........."

After the topic was brought up, Cecilia finally reacted, turning her head to look at Ariana, who had a sighing expression on her face.

Hey, don't stare at me like that! I get shy too!

With a wave of her hand, Ariana's expression shifted from serious to her usual smiling face, and she said:

During my period of deep sleep, I wasn't completely still; I thought about a ton of things!

Although her appearance has returned to that of a mature woman, Ariana still retains some of the habits she had when she was in her girl form, such as spreading her arms wide and gesturing wildly.

Such a gesture would appear very innocent and cute when performed by a young girl, and if someone saw it, they might want to be pulled into someone's arms and cherished.
