Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 24 Part 2

Ireena walked towards the shallow stream until she was in the middle of it. The river was as high as Ireena's waist.

Then Ireena stood still. With the wind he lifted the flow of water to surround and wet his entire body. Not long after, he immediately rose to the surface, saying,

“If you can stop time, then I will freeze it.”, his eyes are sharp, leading to where Julian and Morgan are going.

…

Morgan and Julian flew over the highway they had passed before. On their side of the cliff and on the other side of the ravine.

“Agh..”, Morgan groaning.

“Morgan?. You're fine.”, Julian asked.

“It's okay. Just my chest still ached, the woman actually pressed him with all her might. It will soon be healed. What about you?”

“So. If I'm better. We better speed up our flight. Fallen angel must have now recovered himself, most likely he still intends to pursue us.”

“Si Devan it, the enemy is not only much, but strong-strong.”

“True, we should ask Aslan who Devan's identity really is, should after this he definitely want to tell us.”

Suddenly in the middle of the trip and the conversation…

The wind came opposite from the direction of Morgan and Julian, although not so strong, but enough to reduce the flying speed of Morgan & Julian.

“Weather.... why suddenly change?”. Ask morgan who was flying on the side a bit to Julian's back.

“Not, maybe this is just windy.”, replied Julian.

Julian tried to check by looking up at his head looking at the clouds. And he found the clouds in the sky did not move in the direction of the wind, but the clouds tend to slowly move to another direction.

(“Don't...”, Julian bathin.)

“Morgan, try looking back!”

“Ha?..”, Morgan also turned his head back “Itu...what?”

Looking faintly at something from a distance, a circle-shaped entity flying in moved towards them.

Julian looked back for a moment, and looked faintly as Morgan had seen him.

“I'm sure, it must have been the woman earlier, this wind, it was her.”

“What?”

“We have to fly faster!”

They also try to fly faster, although the opposite wind is not enough to make them slow, but the wind is enough to interfere with their flying speed.

Morgan turned back to check. Then it became clear that the one who was chasing them was Ireena.

“You're right Julian, that was the fallen angel earlier, but.. he didn't take out his wings.”.

“Really?.”, Julian said, looking back.

(“When he does not use his wings, but still can be that advanced, and also what is it that surrounds him....air?”, bathin Julian.).

“Free Julian, we lost fast. I'll stop it.”

“Wait for Morgan, there is a different with him.”

Morgan did not listen to Julian, he had already stopped preparing to return to face Ireena.

Julian stopped behind Morgan.

(“I'll watch her, if anything happens...”).

Ireena seemed to smile cynically at Morgan and Julian waiting for her to arrive.

“I'll make you feel worse than before.”, Morgan threatened, his eyes looking sharp and focused. “Come!..”, he continued.

Instantly…..

“SRIING!!....”

Morgan managed to activate the magus precisely, but half of his body froze, rendering himself motionless in the midst of that stalled time.

“What??”, surprised Morgan. His eyes widened to see himself exposed to the trap of Ireena in a critical second. Two seconds later, time slowed down, until it was slowly frozen by the Ireena wind.

From Julian's point of view…

Morgan seemed to be standing with a focused gaze toward the opponent, and when they had been within reach of their magus, Morgan froze before him.

Without reacting for long, Julian immediately activated his magus and repeated the events two seconds before…

Ireena was speedily flying towards Morgan, but before they entered within their respective range, suddenly…

“SRING!!”, “DUM!!”

Julian pushed Morgan's pace downwards until it fell strongly to the ground, as did Julian who landed very badly.

While Ireena seemed to hit a chunk of ice that he made himself, then landed while dragged far enough along with a chunk of ice right below him.

Morgan woke up from the fall and tried to stand up.

“Julian, what are you..”, said Morgan, but the sentence was not finished after seeing one of Julian's legs freeze to the thigh..

“You failed to activate your magus, so you froze first by it.”, Julian said as he tried to get up.

“You...using your magus?”

“Yes. If it's just ordinary ice in this physical world, maybe it's just penetrating you. The ice contains magus the fallen angel that woman.”

Morgan looked towards Ireena falling.

“You were right, even the ice hurt him, really reckless.”

Morgan also helped Julian stand by one of Julian's arms.

“We run first, then we melt the ice at your feet.”

They then flew down towards the ravine and into the forest below.

A moment later, Ireena woke up from the ice as her left hand held her right hand that was still recovering.

“Cih!!!”, annoy Ireena.

Ireena looked at the former road where Morgan and Julian landed earlier. After that he stood still and lowered his head, then it seemed that the wind around him was spreading rapidly in all directions.

While Morgan and Julian were flying low in the middle of the forest, and suddenly a cold wind came from behind them. They were shocked and hit by a momentary mental attack.

“We got caught”, Julian said.

“Hm.”, Morgan agrees.

Ireena, knowing their whereabouts, brought the remaining water with her wind, and immediately flew down to chase.

A moment later, the wind again blew opposite from the flying direction of Julian and Morgan.

“So soon he chased.”, said Julian who was looking back.

“Nothing, soon I will use my magus to escape.”

The flying Ireena rode the wind closer and closer to Morgan and Julian.

“You cannot run from me.”, he said with a sharp look at them.

As the distance drew nearer, Ireena began to lower her wind temperature, but when a little more they were within reach all of a sudden…

They were suddenly fast and far away flying in front of Ireena.

“Tch!, fucking Morgan!.”, maki Ireena, look on her face annoyed.

However, Ireena did not give up, she grew more emotional and unknowingly increased her speed.

While Morgan and Julian who were far ahead suddenly felt the wind against him getting louder.

“What the hell is this?”, said Julian who was flying while in Morgan's embrace.

“Although this wind does not greatly reduce our speed, but it feels annoying.”

Before long, Julian looked back and saw Ireena slowly coming back after them.

“Wire!. We got a really stubborn opponent.”

“Then I will change direction!.”, said Morgan who intends to prank Ireena.

Morganpun turned and flew while avoiding the trees. Julian, who sometimes looked back, said,

“Hey Morgan your way is not effective, he is getting closer to us.”

“Hah?, really?”

Ireena who saw them flying like that smiled amusedly, saying,

“Hem!, you call that babbling?”, trivial.

In the midst of Morgan's flight, he suddenly recalled the incident a few days ago with Devan…

(…..The two platoons fired, and dozens of bullets shot rapidly towards Devan.

"Morgan!.",

"Huh!.", Devan ran among dozens of silent bullets. Instantly he turned towards his running towards the hallways of the city building.

But at the same time, Devan saw the bullets moving slowly.

"His ancestor?".", astonished Devan.

Devan finally entered the hall.

"Oi Morgan, so your magus actually slows down time?."

"Indeed. The first two seconds stop, the next three seconds slow."

"Tch!, my magic trick failed. I thought your abilities were just like Aslan's, but you're beneath him."

"If my magus is equal to him, then there's no way I'll be his subordinate."…..)

“Julian, I'll do magic tricks.”

“Trik conjuring?. All right, I know you're not the sloppy type of creature.”

“Look at.”

Morgan forced his flying speed, he looked back, when he realized he would never surpass the speed of the woman.

And when Morgan slightly reached Ireena wind range, he activated his magus and immediately stopped flying along with the time he stopped.

“Morgan, why did you also suddenly stop?”

Morgan then turned a little quickly then landed quietly near a tree and hid behind it.

“If we land too fast it will cause great wind ripples. He will realize.”

“We're hiding?. Are you sure you're gonna make it in front of an opponent like him?, and then that magic trick?”

3…4…5

Time back to normal…

The small wind rippling near the tree was a bit distant on Ireena's side, but Ireena kept flying past her as usual, she was surprised, suddenly Morgan and Julian were not in front of her.

“Again!!!”, annoy Ireena.

Ireena did not give up on chasing, and continued flying forward. He still thinks Morgan and Julian are ahead.

…

“In Ireena's point of view, we seem to disappear, no matter what kind of magus he realizes, in his point of view, it will still look like that.”, Morgan explained to Julian.

Julian also looked at Ireena darting, he himself did not expect the woman to be tricked in this way.

“I know you're not a careless creature, but I can't believe you're this smart. How could you find such a way?.”, asked Julian hesitantly.

“Actually it was Devan's idea time escape from Avalon city. Hehe. But he failed to execute.”

“I've guessed. Let me guess, he failed because he didn't know magus yet you didn't completely stop time.”

“Ya, you're right.”

“Hmm, since our angel status fell, our strength also fell. If calculated, your magus at the time of the world is also two seconds; two seconds of time stopped, three seconds slowed down, when combined normal time is all two seconds. Because...”, Julian hangs his words.

“Because of what?”, asked Morgan.

Julian recalled the moment Morgan was frozen by the Ireena wind.

“If the time of the world also counts five seconds, maybe by then I was too late to repeat the time to save you. Because there is still a possibility that you managed to activate your magus.”

“So it's like that. Then I actually lost daritadi.”

“We postpone talking first, we should leave immediately, the ice on my feet seems to slowly melt itself.”

They then flew in the opposite direction but rather snarled so as not to be easily guessed Ireena. They managed to escape from Ireena.

Ireena…

Ireena was still flying straight, but now she was beginning to hesitate.

“Where are they?,”, said little Ireena, her forehead shrinking her heart irritated.

(“There is no way I failed to catch up with them, obviously their speed lost far to me.”, bathin Ireena.)

Ireena started to rouse, she suddenly stopped. He stood up and bowed, spreading the wind in all directions.

“Eh?..Why is there not?”, Ireena's face suddenly suddenly surprised and confused.

He repeated it, spreading the wind in all directions.

“Eh?..”, now Ireena's face turned disappointed, her hands trembling slightly.

He also remembered when he began to lose Morgan and Julian. So after he remembered last he saw Morgan and Julian…

“Hah?...Don't-don't..they...managed to fool me?”, Ireena's voice seemed to tremble, her facial features seemed to try to resist crying.

“No way, no way, no way.”, Ireena shook her head trying to divert her mind for a moment.

He saw the water he was carrying. Then he fell down on his knees, holding his right hand that was still recovering.

“The water I brought is not enough…

How should I report it to Istan…

This...very embarrassing..”.
