"Lilith, did you remember more things?" Noah interrupted the whole situation, making Lilith slowly turn towards him, her eyes narrowing. "Now that you mention it... It seems I did," she said, laying her head onto the bed. "I only remember about the higher echelons, though." "Higher Echelons?" Maggie asked, curious, as she looked highly interested. "Yeah," Lilith turned over, speaking to her instead. "The Seven Generals—" "You better stop here," Noah interrupted her, making Maggie puff her cheeks…

Lilith's yell made everyone stand up in a daze, looking around worriedly, especially Khish, who was used to being in extreme environments. "Lilith?! Did something happen?" she asked, aggravated by the scream that woke her up. "... Y—no. Not really... I was just surprised at something Noah told me," The snake said, coiling herself back while feeling embarrassed. "Noah?! What did my brother say?!" Maggie, who was drowsily rubbing her eyes, sprung up fully awake, having heard of him. "Wait, Noah was…

"Now!" Bel yelled from the side, while Noah clenched his teeth from being burned. The dark night grew bright red, as Lighning spread through the air around Bel. "What the—Ghu!" The blessed held in his food, coming back from his stomach, as the lighning-accelerated boy drove its head into his stomach. Bel flinched, as the lighning the man was using clashed with his, and he felt the backlash, while Noah cancelled his flames, forced to use his wings to stop the ever-growing momentum from his fall. "Tsc,"…

"Noah!" Bel exclaimed, the man he was fighting dropping limply onto the ground. "Were there too many?" Noah asked, eyeing the building just a little further. "Eh? I was taking care of the ones standing guard outside first," he said, scratching his head, and smearing blood onto his hair as he did so. "I see... Why don't we go inside, then," he said, as Bel strolled towards him. The two walked together towards the building. It looked like an apartment building, with exposed corridors and many doors. Noah…

"What do we do about him?" Bel asked, seeing the blood drip onto the ground, slowly becoming faster. "What do you think? Can you break him?" Noah asked, thinking what he could do. "I don't know for sure, after all, he's just a hunk of metal... Why not melt him?" he told Noah while shrugging, which Noah actually thought was not that bad of an idea. "You know what, maybe I sh—I have edge mastery..." he suddenly noticed, picking up his dagger from his waist, where he had somehow out it between the…

"Bel, are you okay?!" He asked aloud, as the man jumped back to avoid the fireball and subsequent explosion. "Yeah... he's not strong enough to hurt me, but it caught me off guard," Bel said, wiping his mouth with the side of his hand, although it did not seem that necessary. '... Such a weird habit to pick up,' Noah thought, but did not voice it, instead turning back towards the guy, who had managed to go unscathed. "Humpf, seems you are weaker than the rumors sugest," the man said, clanking his fists…

"I'll finish cleaning things up and come back here, don't open the door unless you hear my voice," Noah said, tunelling his way out of the room. The entire house was still in the dark, meaning they had probably cut out the power. 'I better check the rest of the house and see how the Imps are doing,' he thought, as he dashed through the corridor, tunelling into the rooms one by one to check whether there was anyone. Most of the rooms where empty, but a couple contained the bodies of dead workers of Carlos'…

"Now that I think of it, did I ever ask your name?" Sha's voice sounded from the side, cutting her thoughts short. "Eh, mine?" the maid asked back, embarrassed. "It's Alice," she said, twirling her hair around her finger. "That's a pretty name," the pink-haired healer responded with a smile, the two watching the recorded fight. After a couple of rounds, Sha started to feel her body waver, as she slowly started loosing to the sleepiness. Having fough in the arena until late yesterday, and been awoken…

Sha's heart was pounding as she waited for the maid to tell her all she had to. Even if it had little to do with him, just a little more for her to know of what she didn't already would be a lot. That was how much she looked forward to it. "His mother had died, he was working hard to pay her outstanding debt, all while taking care of his sick sister in the hospital." She took a pause to breathe, before speaking once again. "It always troubled me, how could he not lose hope, how could he deal with all…

"That girl had two Blessings. One was to create footholds on air and jump around using them. That one was fine, but the other was... She could coat her blades with any poison he had experienced and survived without dying." As she finished the sentence, everyone's face grew pale, except for Sha, who did not have the imagination and perception of how wicked people were to understand how dark her life must have been. "... I see... If I had that kind of blessing... I can't even tell what my family would have…
