HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 25
The next morning, Arro takes Bella to the Main Gate, where there are already some people who Bella knows and does not recognize.
“Bella, this is Damian and Agnor. They'll take care of you here with Jasmine. I'll be back before sunset.” Arro lets Damian and Agnor introduce themselves.
“I'm Agnor, Miss.” Agnor slightly bowed to pay her respects.
Bella who first met Agnor gave a creep of fear. It is the same as Abercio. Bella's a little hiding behind Arro. But he tried to smile to be polite. “Sa-me, Bella.”
Arro could see Bella who was a little uncomfortable, he gently twisted both of Bella's shoulders to look at her, “she won't hurt you, no one in this base dares to hurt you.” Arro's voice was soft but his tone was firm. He wants to convince Bella not to worry about anything.
Bella just nodded. Arro again spoke to Damian and Agnor there. Bella then glanced at Jasmine who was talking to Levi. Bella could not hear their conversation, but Bella could see Levi who was smiling sweetly while patting the tops of Jasmine's head gently. Bella smiled at the interaction.
“Bella, I go yes, remember to eat,” said Arro then kissed Bella's forehead briefly.
Bella was so misbehaved, she could see all of them taking their eyes off. After Arro hugged Bella, they flew away.
“Jasmine, will you accompany me to the flower garden?” ask Bella.
“Of course.” Jasmine then walks with Bella, while Agnor and Damian follow them from behind.
“So, tell me, how did you meet Levi?” bella asked curiously while walking through the flower garden.
The garden was more like a flower field, too many beautiful flowers there. Some are almost the same as flowers from the Human Land and some are also flowers that Bella does not recognize. One of them is the red kochia plant. Unique, ball-like blob-shaped plants surround the garden.
“Levi found me when I got lost in Agreon forest. I was accompanying my father to pick some plants to make medicine. But, some bad guys tried to harm us. Just then, Levi came and tried to save me.” Jasmine's story with a face that meets.
“How did Levi find you? Is everyone who has the same sign, sure to meet?” bella asked, getting curious. Now they were sitting on a long, white bench in the garden.
“We are a nation of angels, will definitely meet our pragma. The mark on this chest is an invisible red thread. Like destiny will always follow us. If our pragma is having trouble or sadness, we will definitely feel it.”
Bella nodded in understanding. “Then why haven't you guys been blessed?”
“We have rules about blessing. Meeting with the pragma is always different. Some meet when the pragma is born, some meet when the pragma is not yet mature, some meet after decades. For blessing, they must reach adulthood first.”
Bella then glanced at Agnor timidly. “If he is, do you know how old he is?”
Jasmine tries to figure out where Bella's eyes are. At the sight of her, Jasmine smiled, “Agnor is already hundreds of years old, probably around .. 200 years over.”
Bella turns her back, “What? How old can you be to how many hundred years? Does Arro also have that age?” Bella was dizzy thinking about that far-off age.
Jasmine chuckled at Bella's innocent question, “ alright, I'll explain slowly.” Now Jasmine became very enthusiastic, she improved her sitting to be able to tell a story more comfortably.
“We, will age like ordinary humans before the blessing. The blessing is very important for us because in addition to uniting the pragma, it can also sow our strength. Before the blessing, if we have found our pragma, our strength can be strengthened even though it does not increase and is perfect. That is, after the blessing, the true power of each angel will be perfect and we will age very slowly. No longer follow the age of man. We'll stay alive, unless we're killed or we kill ourselves. For His Majesty Arro himself, his strength will be very strong, as he is the descendant of the main kingdom.”
Bella nodded in understanding, Jasmine's explanation was almost the same as Arro's explanation first to her. Meaning, Arro's age still follows the age of humans and not adrift far from his age.
Jasmine was going to tell him again, but suddenly Damian ran towards her. “Nona, come in now. We feel something is not right.”
“For now, it is safe.” said Jasmine soothes Bella.
Meanwhile, at the flower garden, Agnor and Damian manage to escape the explosion. They do not know where the attack came from. Agnor immediately banged her wings solidly as a form of defense. Damian was on standby from above.
“AWAS!” agnor screeched as he saw an arrow fly towards Damian above.
Damian, who immediately regained consciousness, immediately dodged and sharpened his sense of sight. Be met. Up ahead a man flew in a black mask. “TUAN!” damian's shout took Agnor's attention to look towards her index finger.
Agnor immediately understood, she then shouted very loudly while clapping her staff onto the hard ground. “ABOUT.”
Like a thin glass from the ground appearing and stretching and rising, and forming a dome protects what is inside. For a while, Bella and Jasmine will be safe in there.
While Damian was wrestling with the masked angel above, Agnor was on standby right in front of the thin glass. Then an explosion appeared again, but it hit the glass guard and managed to repel the attack.
“WHO ARE YOU, DAMN IT?” furious Agnor. He didn't see anyone, while Damian was up there a little overwhelmed.
“Calm Agnor. Why are you being so angry? Did leading the Underworld take away your wits?”
The voice came from above Agnor. Agnor raised her face to see who the creatures that dared to attack the Vaselion Kingdom Headquarters were. Yeah, that face Agnor was familiar with. Ardius. Brother of Abrion.
“What are you doing? This is the Kingdom Headquarters Vaselion.”
“I've been waiting for you out of the Underworld. When I heard you were in the Upper World, I was so happy, I came to greet you.” Ardius had set his foot on the ground. His spoken words were very contrary to his anger-filled look.
Agnor was a little relieved, Ardios did not come for Arro's pragma, but for him. “Ck, are you angry that I have tortured Abrion down there?”
“DIAM!” Ardius was angry with Agnor's words. “Abrion shouldn't die like that.”
“He has committed treason. Do you still want to defend your sister?”
“He couldn't have done it. You know, he's also a friend of King Kyrillos.”
“Yes. Say it yourself when you see him. In the next life,”
Ardios' face flushed with wrath. Raising his hand and pointing it at Agnor, Agnor immediately raised his staff to repel the attack from Ardius. A dark mist shot out from Ardios' palm and quickly shot towards Agnor's position.
Agnor was aghast, she took a step back. “What is this? you can't be ...,” Agnor's speech stopped. The dark fog had already locked onto his movements. Agnor took pains to move her wand. Sweat was pouring down his forehead, Agnor was overwhelmed, that power was not pure angelic power. Something mixed in that power.
Damian who had defeated the troops from above saw Agnor who could not move down there. Damian himself was surprised to see the dark fog. It was a sign of black magic. Damian knew he could not defeat Ardius alone. But, he could not stay still, he twisted his brain to find a way. After seeing an opportunity, Damian flew higher, then made a twisting motion, at high speed he headed towards Ardios.
Ardios was too late to notice Damian's appearance, but he briefly raised his other hand to unleash an attack. Damian growled while holding his chest that was hit by the attack, but he did not lower his speed. He crashed himself into Ardius. The bodies of the two of them bounced far away, while the mist was already thinning and then disappeared. Agnor was finally able to escape. He immediately ran to approach Ardios but Ardios was not there. It disappeared. Damian was still motionless. Agnor immediately carried Damian and led him into Headquarters. If, Ardios appears again. He would not hesitate to kill her.
