*Swoosh*
Lawrend heard the rustling of clothes on his side and turned his head to look.
Ramiela was already standing beside him. She was staring at Aezel.
"Ahhh!" Lawrend shouted in shock.
"How did you become a Fallen Angel?" Ramiela asked coldly.
"F-Fallen Angel? How did you know?" Aezel widened her eyes in surprise.
"I can see it. You have the aura of a Divinity on you, but it's tainted," Ramiela replied.
Aezel and Lawrend turned their heads and looked at each other. There was only one explanation that they could think of, and that was their Divine Lightning.
"Answer me or I will kill you!" Ramiela threatened as she took a single step forward.
"Do you mean this?"
Aezel lifted her finger and sparks of golden lightning crackled on it.
"Waaaa! The Divine Lightning of Genesis!"
Ramiela's eyes widened in amazement. Based on her reactions, Lawrend and Aezel could tell that she recognized it.
"What's the Divine Lightning of Genesis?" Lawrend asked.
"Shut up, human. Fallen Angel, do you want to ascend to Heaven with me?" Ramiela asked as she extended her hand towards Aezel.
"I…"
Aezel furrowed her eyebrows. She glanced at her master, who was just cruelly brushed off.
"No! I'm not gonna leave my master's side," Aezel said with a strong shake of her head.
"Your master? This human? Disgusting," Ramiela replied with a disgusted look on her face.
"Take back what you just said!" Aezel shouted angrily.
No matter what, she won't let anyone insult her master.
"R-Relax, Aezel. She's very powerful," Lawrend said as he tapped her shoulder.
He was very nervous right now. He didn't see her move earlier. Ramiela appeared beside them in the blink of an eye.
In Lawrend's eyes, to be able to perform such an instantaneous movement, she had to be much much stronger than both of them.
"You know your place, human. Since I already found my target, you can go away. You're not her master anymore," Ramiela said as she shooed him away with her hand.
"What are you?" Lawrend asked her grimly.
"You don't need to know."
Ramiela simply glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. She was too disinterested in a human like him to even look at his face.
"Answer his question!" Aezel said snappily.
"Why should I?"
Ramiela raised an eyebrow at her words.
"Cause he was the one who gave me the lightning," Aezel replied.
"What?"
Ramiela stared at her in disbelief.
"Show her, Master," Aezel said.
Lawrend nodded his head and opened his palm. Golden lightning crackled on it before forming a lightning ball that hovered on top of it.
"Y-You!"
Ramiela fell on her butt and crawled away from Lawrend.
"What are you doing? Are you okay?" Lawrend asked her in puzzlement.
"You're a god! What is your esteemed self doing here??" Ramiela said and bowed her head to him respectfully.
"I'm no god. I'm a human," Lawrend replied with a confused look on his face.
"Human? Such pure divine essence is not possible to be made by a human," Ramiela replied skeptically.
'Divine essence?' Lawrend thought to himself.
He heard that term once again. Last time, it was Valentina that talked about it.
"Stand up. Don't bow to me. Tell me what you are," Lawrend said to her.
"Y-Yes!" Ramiela nodded her head obediently and stood up.
"I'm an Angel sent by the Great Saraphiel. Actually, my hair isn't usually blonde. When I'm in heaven, it turns black."
"What does your hair got to do with it?" Lawrend asked her in confusion.
"U-Uh… I'm self-conscious about it," Ramiela replied in embarrassment. Her cold face had long melted in reverence to him.
"Where is heaven?" Lawrend asked.
"Don't you know where it is, esteemed god?" Ramiela replied, confused.
In her mind, since he's a god, then he should know where heaven was.
"Ahhh, forget it. I was trying to test you," Lawrend lied.
It would make her suspicious of him if he admitted that he didn't really know where heaven was. After all, he wasn't really a god.
"M-My apologies!"
Ramiela quickly bent her body and bowed to him.
"How strong are you in human terms?" Lawrend asked.
He was really curious about how powerful she was. He still couldn't forget her instantaneous movement just recently.
"I should be equivalent to a Grand Mage or a Mountain Sword," Ramiela replied.
"W-What the f*ck!" Lawrend cursed in shock.
She could have killed them several times over. If he hadn't stopped Aezel, it would have escalated to a fight that they would then end up losing due to the sheer disparity in strength.
"Is it too low? If I'm near heaven, I'm as strong as an Earth Mage or an Earth Sword!" Ramiela said. She thought that he cursed because of her insufficient strength.
"Forget about that. How did you even know that I'm a 'god'?" Lawrend asked her.
"Waaaa! You confirmed it! I knew it from your pure divine essence that I sensed in your Divine Lightning of Genesis!" Ramiela replied with an excited look on her face.
She was slowly turning into a fanatic fangirl to him. Her inner self that craved to serve a real god was running at full power.
'This is it. I can finally serve a god!' Ramiela thought to herself excitedly.
What she didn't know was that Lawrend wasn't actually a god. Due to lucky coincidences, his constitution had resembled something close to what a god would have.
Plus, having a divine essence is an essential part of a god. The fact that he had it spoke volumes to her that he was in fact a god. Even if he denied it, she would believe otherwise.
"As I said, I'm not a god," Lawrend replied to her with a shake of his head.
He doesn't want her to one day realize that he wasn't really a god. If that happens, she might kill them in anger.. Lawrend definitely wasn't gonna keep a ticking time bomb by his side.
