【Beginning】
While Bael was chatting with the lady, some noises, mixing with screams and sad calls, sounded afar. They ran out of the alley and saw the city was shrouded in flames and smoke. People were running for their lives.
Bael: ...What happened?
Villager: The demons! They’re attacking again! Run——Urgh!
Before he could finish the words, the villager was stabbed to death by a demon from behind. Witnessing this cruel scene, the lady let out a scream of terror, which had drawn the demons’ attention. Aware of their presence, they started approaching Bael and the lady.
Bael: Filthy demons, I won’t let you hurt the innocent! Brace for punishment!
【End】
Bael removed the disguise to show his true self. Then he conjured an arrow of light element. With a flick of his finger, the arrow penetrated through the demon and it went down instantly.
Lady: You...you’re a god...
Bael: Yes, I’m Bael. I was ordered to protect this city, but I’ve made a wrong decision during the time I lost myself…
Bael: Please, allow me to redeem my sins.
Bael spread his wings to ascend. At the same time, he gathered the power of element; and countless light arrows were revealed from his back. He overlooked the city in the sky, aiming at those demons infiltrating.
Bael: It’s time to pay for your sins!
Rain of arrows was pouring, hitting the raging demons precisely. In a flash, Bael saved all the villagers from great danger.
The glow and his miracle had stunned the villagers. They all knelt down, praying in front of the glinting Bael in awe. In the past, he was unconcerned about their prayers. Now he can finally understand the true meaning lying in their wishes.
Bael: Giemsa, you’re right. Every life is priceless. No life is expendable like a tool…
