Chapter 114: Unexpected Kiss

A cold, powerful voice echoed through the room. “Those who point their swords against the bride of the Supreme Being shall face my wrath. For I am sword of Supreme Being.”

Emerging from the shadows was a tall figure clad in dark armor, eyes glowing with a menacing red light. His presence radiated an aura of overwhelming power, instantly dominating the space.

Kalawarna’s eyes widened in fear and disbelief. “Who… who are you?”

The armored figure didn’t respond to her question. Instead, he turned his gaze to Issey, who was still recovering from the shock. “Are you unharmed, my lady?”

Issey nodded slowly, even she didn’t know who it was, “I’m fine. Thank you.”

The figure then focused on Dohnaseek and Kalawarna, his expression hardening. “You dared to attack the chosen bride. For that, you will suffer.”

Kalawarna tried to summon her holy energy again, but the dark figure was too fast. He moved with blinding speed, his black sword cutting through the air with lethal precision. Kalawarna barely had time to react before she was disarmed and thrown back against the wall, gasping for breath.

Dohnaseek attempted to strike from behind, but the dark figure effortlessly parried his attack, sending him sprawling across the floor with a single blow.

Mittelt, seeing the overwhelming power of the new arrival, hesitated, her resolve faltering. “We… we need to retreat,” she stammered.

“Oh, retreat? That’s not going to happen,” another figure appeared through the door.

•••

“Oh, retreat? That’s not going to happen,” I said as I walked through the door.

The sight of the Shadow Knight, which emerged for her own shadow, left her mouth hanging open in shock.

I dispelled the Shadow Knight.

Seeing me entering, Issey turned to me.

“Alex… what is that?” Issey stammered, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and awe.

“It’s a Shadow Knight,” I replied nonchalantly, as if discussing the weather. “I put it on your shadow to protect you.”

“But anyway,” I said, turning my attention to the fallen angels—Kalawarna, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt—standing in the room. “Can you give Asia back to me?”

Kalawarna, the leader of the group, sneered at me, her eyes flicking to the Shadow Knight warily. “And why would we do that? She’s useful to us.”

“Because if you don’t,” I said calmly, “things are going to get very unpleasant for you. Just like what happened to Raynare and Freed.”

At the mention of Freed, Dohnaseek’s expression remained unchanged, having already witnessed our encounter. However, the name “Raynare” caught all of their attention.

The air seemed to thicken with tension as their eyes widened in shock and realization.

“Raynare?” Kalawarna repeated, her voice tinged with disbelief and apprehension. “What did you do to her?”

I smirked, crossing my arms. “Oh, she’s fine. More or less. She’s just learning the finer points of obedience under Yuri’s guidance. And as for Freed, let’s just say he’s not in any condition to cause trouble anymore.”

The fallen angels exchanged nervous glances, clearly unsettled by my words. Kalawarna’s bravado wavered, but she tried to hold her ground. “You think you can intimidate us with empty threats?”

“Empty?” I let out a small chuckle. “No, not empty. Consider them… fair warnings. I’ve dealt with stronger and more troublesome foes than you lot.”

Why are they so hard to deal with? You know what, screw it, why am I even talking to them?

With a burst of super speed, I closed the distance between us in an instant, snatching Asia from Mittelt’s grasp before any of them could react. The sudden movement left the fallen angels momentarily stunned, their expressions frozen in disbelief.

“Hey!” Mittelt shrieked, reaching out too late as I cradled the unconscious Asia securely in my arms.

Kalawarna’s eyes widened, a mixture of anger and fear flashing across her face. “You… you can’t just—”

“I can and I did,” I interrupted, my voice cold and authoritative. “And now, you’re going to let us walk out of here without any more trouble. Because if you don’t, I’ll make sure you regret it.”

Issey, still processing the rapid turn of events, stood beside me, her eyes wide with awe. She seemed torn between surprise and admiration for my decisive action.

“Take Asia and wait outside,” I instructed, gently handing the unconscious girl over to Issey. “I have something to finish up here.”

Before I could turn away, Issey suddenly leaned in and kissed me on the lips. The unexpected contact left me momentarily stunned.

Okay, I wasn’t expecting that.

“Thank you,” she whispered, pulling back with a soft smile. “For everything.”

I blinked, regaining my composure. “Just keep Asia safe,” I said, managing to keep my voice steady. “I’ll handle the rest.”

I am gentlemen after all.

As Issey carried Asia out of the church, I turned back to face the fallen angels. They had watched the entire exchange, their expressions a mix of confusion and apprehension.

“Now, where were we?” I said, “Ah, yes. I believe we had some unfinished business.”

I turned slightly, my voice carrying an edge of authority. “Raynare, come in. Meet your friends.”

Raynare appeared from the shadows, her demeanor transformed from the haughty arrogance she once displayed to a subdued and almost humble presence.

The sight of her sent visible shockwaves through Kalawarna, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt.

“Raynare,” Kalawarna gasped, eyes wide with disbelief. “What are you doing here? How did he—”

“Raynare is under my command now,” I interrupted smoothly. “And she’s going to help me clean up this mess.”

Raynare looked down, avoiding the accusatory glares of her former comrades. “It’s true. I serve Alex-sama now.”

“Traitor!” Dohnaseek spat, his fury barely contained.

“Call it what you will,” Raynare replied, her voice steady despite the tension. “But I’d advise you to listen to him.”

I stepped forward, letting my presence fill the room. “Now, let’s make this simple. You have two choices: stay and get killed, or just like Raynare you will be my subordinates.”
