Chapter 784 Slaying A Demon!

-----

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

Utilizing the new Celestial Sword Physique Technique, the materialization of my Physique's Strength emerged in the form of a huge sword of light, which I used to cut down Agares soul into countless pieces.

He might have stood a better chance against other people or beings, but he just had to fight someone with a terrible elemental superiority such as me... And unlike other people, I make sure he can't even return to Hell!

"M-MY SOUL...! I-I CAN DIE?!" He continued to scream as I cut down his soul. "W-Wait...! This void...! NO! NOOOOO!!!"

"That's enough crying, this is what you should had expected if you were terrorizing others!" I roared. "The same thing would have eventually happened to you! This is what's named Karma!"

The blade quickly absorbed the last of my Mana I had left, and quickly grew even larger, fusing with Irene and turning into a spiraling spear of light.

"AAARRGGHHH...!"

CLAAAAASSSHH!!!

Using it, I pierced his broken soul and destroyed it completely, nothing remaining other than a few pieces of the crystalized demonic energy he possessed.

"Phew..."

I quickly fell on my own butt over the pavement, feeling exhausted. I had used all my Mana in that, and because I was so in a hurry, I ended not expanding any Domain, so there was little Mana for me to get back.

[You have defeated a [High Ranking Demon: Agares], one of the [72 Demons of the Goetia]!]

[You have completely destroyed Agares Soul, he can no longer revive in Hell.]

[You have accomplished an incredible feat; your Halo is resonating!]

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, my Halo gained power out of nowhere, becoming twice as big, and releasing starlight-like sparkles. I felt a sudden surge of Celestial Energy coursing through my entire body. My exhaustion disappeared in a single second.

[Your [Lesser Angelic Halo (Rank 1)] has Ranked Up to [Spiritual Angelic Halo (Rank 3)]!]

[Your Angelic Halo has gained +600 Angelic Runes. Your maximum Celestial Energy has increased exponentially.]

[Heaven recognizes you as one of their Guardians, you've become a [Guardian Angel]!]

[Title: [Guardian Angel]: Increases Total Celestial Energy by +100%, adds +1000 Angelic Runes to your Angelic Halo, and grants the ability to create [Divine Wards].]

[Heaven is looking forward to your future feats.]

E-Eh? Guardian Angel? Me?! But that's...

And did just Heaven speak to me?

Is it some sort of sentient being too?!

I thought it was just a dimension.

This is so weird...

"A-Amazing..."

And the voice of the child I had just saved echoed behind me, as I slowly took a better glance at her... or him, or they.

"Huh? Hahh... Are you alright?" I asked them. "Where did you come from?"

I checked their wounds, and they seemed to have recovered, except for the missing wing and the damaged Halo... Wait, Halo? So they're really an Angel.

Woah, did I just become capable of seeing them and demons now that I kind of became something like that? This is a bit too fast though! noVe(1B(1n

I never thought there would be a battle between an angel and a demon so close by... This world is full of surprises.

"I'm fine, thank you so much, my dear big sister." They quickly bowed their head before me. "I really thought those malevolent ruffians would have had me! I was in so much pain! Yet you healed so gracefully, I can see the light of god in your eyes! Are you a high-ranking angel- Ah, you're an Archangel, right?!"

They were really excited, if they would have had a tail, they would be wagging it around happily... I didn't know what to even tell them, I was just as confused as they were.

"Just pretend you are one, after all if Heaven, whatever that is, has recognized you, might as well!" Said the Great Spirit into my mind.

"Y-Yes, I am an Angel... I'm a Guardian Angel." I explained. "A-And you, dear? Where did you come from? It's a relief I was able to defeat that mean demon, but what about you?"

"A-A Guardian Angel! I see!" They said while nodding adorably. "You're so cool! A-Ah, about me? Err... The name our Father gave me is Gabriel, and... I've been demoted quite a lot... A-And I almost got eaten by that abominable fiend..." They quickly sighed, looking down. "Ugh..."

"I guess Angels exist..." I thought to myself. "I feel like I should be more surprised about this!"

"I ended separating from my own battalion a few moons ago, when we were fighting against a Demon Invasion on a nearby town." They sighed. "I apologize for coming to you like this, you must be very busy dealing with some secret mission, right?"

"Uuuh, yeah..." I said while rolling my eyes. "My name is... Elayne, I guess you can call me like that."

"Elayne! What a unique name for an amazing Angel! You must make our Father proud!" The little angel said, jumping over the floor like a little rabbit.

They were so adorable! Honestly, I wouldn't mind adopting them...

"But aren't you too young to be fighting like this? Shouldn't you be in... Heaven or something?" I wondered, as I checked my surroundings and began to reinforce my Territory.

"I-I may look young, but I am several thousand year old! I've just been... demoted for lazing around." They sighed; little Gabriel began fidgeting around without knowing what to say.

"Alright, you can stay at my house for a bit." I sighed.

Gabriel's silver-colored eyes immediately lighted up, as if they were expecting and waiting for me to say that...

"Really?! Thank you so much! Then I'll help myself! Hehehe!"

The little angel quickly entered my house like nothing, just passing through the solid walls with ease and sitting over the couch.

"Phew... I'm so exhausted..."

"You seem quite carefree for someone that just escaped their death!" I said, crossing my arms.

"Zzzz..."

However, Gabriel had just fallen asleep... Looks like they were just pretending to be alright, they were very exhausted.

"Poor thing." I sighed, caressing their little blonde head. "Rest well for now."

"Nice! Now that you've got an Angel as your friend, might as well make a contract with them later!" The Great Spirit laughed evilly. "Your power will rise a lot if you do that!"

"Are you only considering gains, you greedy old spirit?!"
