Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 27 Part 2

Devan immediately dashed to attack Zivan, and Zivan also darted fast towards Devan. A moment later the two faced off with a fist that both darted across each other's faces.

Zivan swiftly put his left hand in front of his face to pull Devan's fist away. Devan has no intention of repelling Zivan's attack.

Devan with a confident smile still took off his full right fist, until when both of their fists had half way through a little, that was when Devan used his magus…

A white circle and a dot in the middle of Devan's pupils flash a glow.

Zivan instantly fell asleep, his fist and the stalks of both hands were low.

“PUM!!”, Devan slammed Zivan's nose into the ground.

But Zivan quickly woke up even half-standing and immediately returned his attention to Devan who knew had darted running, and jumped towards him.

Zivan immediately prepares to fend off Devan's incoming attack.

Devan took off his kick with all his might, and when his kick was halfway through a little, again he used the magus. Zivan fell asleep immediately.

“PUM!!”, Devan kicks again with a crushing hit on Zivan's head to make it hit and slammed several times on the ground.

But Zivan managed to take back his balance, and immediately resisted the impact of the impact by strengthening his footrest until he was dragged on the ground.

Devan has stopped attacking.

“Do I also have to wait for you to heal yourself?, how, Zivan?”, said Devan still with his confident smile.

“Timingmu.,, so effective!”

“Of course. Then how could I possibly defeat you. All magus is great, depending on the pilot using and the match of the opponent. Too bad, Zivan. You started a confrontation with me.”

“You mean?. What if I start a confrontation with you?”

“I mean.you are a great and strong opponent. So in Delbora no one can beat you, except me. Because, my magus is your weakness.”

Zivan smiled after hearing that. He rose up with his condition almost recovered.

“So, you mean you've won from me even before our fight is over?”

“Originally you know, if I wanted to, from the start I didn't give you a chance to attack. I just want to play games with you.”

“Then, now let's get serious. And also thank you for letting me recover, I hope you don't regret it.”, said Zivan still smiling as he stared intently at Devan.

“With all my heart I will be serious.”, said Devan who also stared intently at Zivan with a smile.

“Siuu!!”, the two simultaneously dashed to attack each other.

When they are both in range. They also released powerful fists towards their respective faces. Just like before, Devan with a confident smile did not intend to fend off the opponent's attack, while Zivan this time was different from before, he also did not intend to fend off the opponent's attack.

Until when their fists had been halfway less, Devan used his magus, circle and a small dot in the middle of his pupils to flash on.

“BUK!”, Devan slammed back, his left cheek hit by Zivan's fist.

Meanwhile, from the crack of Zivan's fist, a bright colorful aura appeared spreading slowly widening in the air.

Devan who was floating was able to see the aura.

(“Magic....peri...”, bathin Devan.).

Devan fell to the ground but was not dragged. The distance with Zivan is still close. Even so, his face was completely injured.

A moment later the little blue plants on the edges of the cave reacted to the fairy magic, and slowly it grew and crept all over the walls of the cave, making the cave brighter.

“You understand how we are now, Devan?”, said Zivan smiling wickedly.

Devan then got up to his feet after looking around him.

“Yes. You're creating a situation where neither of us can use magus.”

“The small plants around the edge of this cave are not strong enough to hold our strong magus, but if the plant is as dense as it is now, not only magus, even our regenaration ability will also be on tap.”

“What??”, Devan immediately held the injured part of his face, and he still felt a little pain when touching it.

“Cih!, Fairy Artemis' magic is troublesome indeed.”

Hearing this, Zivan's face changed immediately. He looked at Devan sharply without a smile.

“Ooh, so that's your real opinion.”, said Zivan, in a pressing tone.

“Hm?”, astonished Devan, a moment later he just understood the meaning of Zivan's words and mood changes, Zivan said,

“Ahaha ahahaha ahahahaha!”

“Why are you laughing?”

“Oh, yes I remember the previous me. I really want to help Luna. Ahaha. Even for that reason, I decided to fight you.”

“Then, what's funny?, could it be, you lied?”

“If I was lying then, there's no way I'd laugh. Heew. I was the one who wanted to help Luna, it was actually my current desire tendency…

IF I AM GOING TO ELIMINATE PRINCESS ARTEMIS.”, Devan said with a cold look.

“KAU!!!”, Zivan's tone is rising.

“Hmm..now answered my bathin question, I deserve to feel confused for a moment when you asked why I was so eager to help Luna.”

Zivan took a breath trying to calm himself down, but not completely succeeding, he looked at Devan full of anger.

“Then I am more confident in my decision. By not letting you meet him and end you here, is the right thing.”

“Haa I also just remembered, which is why I was so unaccepting and decided to fight you, when you tried to take on my role to help Luna. Because..you tried to prevent me from my real plan.”

“Devan...you will not let me out of this cave!”

“It depends on your ability.”

“I admit the magus case I lost to you, but if the physical fight is pure I am above you.”, said Zivan, he went straight to Devan and released a powerful fist.

“Then I am not sure..”, Devan said as he welcomed Zivan's attack.

Zivan's right fist came towards the injured part of Devan's face, then gently Devan pulled over with the open and tight back of his right hand fingers, then his wrist he turned back, then he jerked his arm so that his palm pushed Devan's fist out.

Then Devan turned his body back to make Zivan fall down right on his side.

“What?”, said Zivan who did not expect he was dropped.

“Some time ago, I just remembered my past as a human…..

And you know?, I was a mainstay of the Royal Security Corps in Avalon City, and I studied directly with the leader of that Corps, Lieutenant General Catra Arkandza or commonly called Lieutenant General Catra.”

Zivan then slowly stood up while turning his head and looked towards Devan who was putting up the horses.

Devan's right foot came forward, his hands bloomed with his fingers tight and his palm slanted, his left hand in front of his chest, while his right hand was almost straight further in front of him.

“I thought I didn't need this ability as long as I had magus, but I didn't think it would be quick to break my mind by going into situations where my magus couldn't be used.”

Zivan recalled a moment ago…

(…..Zivan opened his eyes, but what he saw was different from what he had expected…

“Hm?”, wonder Zivan.

Zivan watched Devan's fighting style change from before, he was so slippery to move between his undead. His movements seemed regular and not in vain.).

(“So then...”).

“Cih!”, Zivan stared at Devan full of annoyance.

“Either why, Zivan. I feel like I will win a landslide with the current situation. Especially after I put you down with a little energy.”, said Devan with a confident smile that expands.

(“Mantau also you, Devan Aria.”, Devan said inwardly.)

Zivan is speechless unable to avenge Devan. He immediately went forward and took a hit on Devan.

Zivan punches using both hands, from the side-up-down, whereas Devan always manages to deflect and avoid them gently.

Until when Zivan jumped small and released a kick straight up to his chin, Devan saw a gap…

Devan immediately caught Zivan's right leg raised using his left hand and in a flash he hit Devan's thigh from above using his right hand which immediately clenched.

Zivan immediately grimaced and kneeled his right leg. A moment later Devan quickly positioned both of his hands to the two sides of his waist. Then stomped firmly forward, until when the arm hit almost to Zivan's chest, Devan's two hands immediately clenched.

“PUM!!”, Zivan crashed strongly backward until he was dragged far down to the ground. After that, he did not move.

“You've lost, Zivan.”

Zivan was still trying to get up, but he could not. He just tried to sit with one arm resting on his arm while holding his chest that was hit by the attack.

“Hahahaha..Hmm.Before I end, I want to thank you first, Zivan….

You...using this way so that I can immediately control my magus, right?”

Zivan reacted lightly, as if surprised by Devan's words.

“But…

At the same time, you also intend to kill me, because you have a grudge against me in the past…

If at that critical moment I didn't get my memory back soon, maybe I'd have ended up in your hands…

I'll tell myself too…

Zivan Zora was a leader well known to the fallen angels at Delbora, so many of the fallen angels wondered why a Samael fell…

But I knew what evil he was doing, his kindness was a pretense, to cover up his evil…

And now, you're doing the same thing to me, making me think that you're deliberately being evil to help me…

So which exactly are you...the evil one is a lie?... or the good one is a lie?...”

Devan recalled a moment ago…

(. Zivan stepped closer to Devan who was kneeling while his shoulders were lifted by the corpses.

“And now we'd better end this. Goodbye, Devan.”

Zivan began to raise his fist. He pulled his arm up parallel to his shoulder, then his guard was slowly enveloped in a black aura. After that, he immediately released his final fist towards Devan.).

“But one is for sure.you obviously tried to finish me off back then…

So Zivan.. I don't trust you either.”.

Devan's words also bathed in Zivan's mind…

(“I...Where exactly am I?…which part of my lie is?… Don't-don't, all this time I haven't changed?..”)

Suddenly, the plants that propagated bluish in the wall slowly shortened and again shrank.

“Wire, fairy magic has been lost, this way Zivan will soon regenerate.”

Devan immediately ran towards Zivan, before long magus Devan slowly enveloped his right hand…

While Zivan, he sees Devan running towards him, he is still unable to move…

(“Looks...I'll be over..”).

Zivan's eyes were wide open, his heart was beating, he was terrified. Then he closed his eyes…

“I'm sorry, Sachiel..”, whispered Zivan.

“Goodbye, Zivan”, Devan immediately jumped towards Zivan while holding his right arm parallel to his shoulder.

Suddenly…

Coming from above the Angel Sachiel who was landing slowly right behind Zivan who was leaning back sat motionless.

Devan looked at the angel, even so…

“PUM!!”, Devan still let go of his fist.
