Chapter 337 - 337: Searching for The Holy Beast of Wind, Rampaging Garuda part 1

[At the Demon kingdom castle]

[Aries point of view]

As I laid down on my bed in the guest room, waiting for my own eye to shut itself down to fall asleep, I recap back what Htilorez mentioned about the fallen devil king, the doppelganger Iblis

Apparently, doppelganger, just like how demon and all living creature here in Achalasia, were created, by, as you know it, the fallen god, aka The God of Life itself, but what set this doppelganger apart from other creation of God of Life is, they couldn't reproduce. They simply exist as we exist, and they will die as we die. That doppelganger can be healthy, or can be sick, or they can be impaled for whole of their lives, without dying, but once the one they are take upon die, without a warning, they will disappear forever... regardless of their condition, which created a creepy pasta of doppelganger, trying to search for their lookalike, only to kill them as they want their peace in living, or rather, they were in fear, and would rather ended their life rather than waiting for the uncertainties

What makes this possible, without the interference from both God of Life and Death, is most likely the power of the first devil king, Iblis

Unlike Seraph, who join the God of Light Theia and thus becoming the king of angel and angelic race, Iblis, bearing some resemblance to the two traitorous princes of Demon Kingdom, once follow the God of Life to become part of the devil itself, but something happen, which caused him to stop following the God of Life, and thus, a curse was placed inside Iblis, to let him suffer for eternity. In act of desperation, he went to the Tree of Life and begged Mother Earth to relief upon the cursed, which understandably, fail, but

(Mother Earth and Tree of Life granted a soothing for him, for him not to suffer all alone) [Htilorez]

And thus, he was granted the power to duplicate himself, and slowly, the power evolves, and thus, doppelganger were born into this world. Seeing this, the mysterious Holy Beast of Light, Angkasa created a space for them, for them to live in peace, but unfortunately, the very same space, were used to sealed the fallen god and the devil, and thus...

(So, could it be, the first fallen devil king and the mysterious holy beast of light were...) [Aries]

Such an odd tale... This is definitely the first time I heard of it

[At the New Headquarters]

[Seo Ah point of view]

Saintess Rumia and the other are coming! I am happy for her since I know for a fact Saintess Rumia never once visited this country back once he settles down in Estel, so I'm sure she's excited to meet with all of her old friends here, but at the same time

"You look awfully anxious. Are you worried about Saintess Rumia" [Seraph]

"Yes. Yes I am" [Seo Ah]

"The way I look at it, no matter what happens, she will definitely get blamed by the old follower, so her coming here to help what she could is definitely for the best" [Alicia]

"I know, but what if all of the devil armies target her very own life. I can't help but to feel worry" [Seo Ah]

And I can't stop this feeling. The palpitations that I felt in my chest keep growing stronger and stronger, without showing any signs of relief. In fact, I'm sure it will only be gone once all of this ordeals are done with. Maybe not, even after this, I will worried about Elise and the other, and how they have to fight with the fallen god. I just can't wrap my head, of the idea that the fallen god trying to unleash her devil armies into this world. Just what is her purpose in doing so?

"Just what is this flute?" [Alicia]

"Oh my, it's the same as my weapon, albeit it isn't one imbued with the dwarf racial magic" [Seraph]

"And this pot?" [Seo Ah]

"Isn't that the pot for alchemy? I heard about it in many old tales from both the elves and dwarves" [Seraph]

"And this spear?" [Alicia]

"Such an odd looking spear. What with the three pointy end?" [Alicia]

"The traditional weapon of the mermaid, aka the trident. It's rusty and I don't think it serves much purpose for us now" [Seraph]

"You sure know a lot of thing Mr Seraph" [Alicia]

"True. I guess it makes sense given how you always travel in the past, even tagging with Mr Filvisar" [Seo Ah]

"Well, you will learn a lot should you travel, but I suppose with devils running around, it isn't a wise choice to do so nowadays" [Seraph]

We are currently rummaging through the many rooms of the old store of the castle in this new headquarters. There are simply too many of them that Saint Louis and the higher archbishop allow us to search through one of the many storages inside the castle (which is used solely as a bureaucratic center). Our goal is to find an object that can help us find the location of the Holy Beast of Wind, Rampaging Garuda and things doesn't look promising. If it wasn't for Seraph's vast knowledge, thing wouldn't go half as fast. Despite his usual debauchery personality, he is someone that you could rely upon

"I'm tired" [Alicia]

"True. And who knows how many rooms are left" [Seo Ah]

"At a time like this, how about I play you some music. Let us feel refreshed" [Seraph]

And thus, with his flute transforming into a golden harp, and with his white wings of the angel sprouted (in this rather cramp space), he began to perform his usual mini concert. Not that I mind, he's a talented musicians, and his harp, carry along his soothing holy mana, so much so that we both feel re-energize, ready to rummage the room one more time in hope for

"Hmm?" [Seo Ah]

"Such large feather" [Alicia]

"It rainbow colours, it's pretty" [Seo Ah]

"Sorry, but can I take a look at this for a moment" [Seraph]

Giving the large rainbow colours feather to Seraph, the feathers started to react, becoming even more vibrant

"Could this be..." [Seraph]

The three of us came to the same conclusion! Still, just how did the feathers suddenly show itself? Maybe we were just careless I suppose
