The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 71 [Strongest Arc-Angel Story ]

With eyes that look sad, Mika looked at the child in front of her. The words stuck in my throat are so hard to say. He was afraid, if the child knew the truth, then the child might leave him.

In the eternal cold of the night for 17 years, there was no one to talk to and neither sleep nor dream. Mika does not want to go back to that time again. He had already given up because this dungeon was designed too powerful for the creatures of this continent. With a considerable time difference, he had already prepared himself to be trapped for hundreds or even thousands of years.

But when hope came to him, the fear buried tightly began to re-stir.

"This child has the right to know the truth." murmured the woman.

"The decision he'll take after knowing the truth is one I can't interfere with."

Aqua who was lying exhausted noticed Mika's troubled countenance.

"Is there something, Mika?" ask the boy.

"..... That's..."

Aqua let out her sincere and warm smile. Mika's present gurgle reminded the boy of Tiara as she wanted to say something.

"Just say, I'll listen."

"Hmm. Just tell me. Brother will hear it."

Words that looked exactly the same as he had once said had crossed his mind.

"alright... Aqua, you must have a lot of questions about me. But you held everything back so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable. But I thought. because you made it this far and tried to help me. It's your right to know where she is" Mika said a little nervously.

"......."

Aqua silently watched and waited for Mika's statement.

His face turned red, the woman closed her eyes tightly.

"Actually me!!! It's Arc-Angel!!!" said nervous.

Aqua smiled, innocently (?) she said, "Do you really think I don't know?"

".......?"

"Eh?"

The boy tried to hold back his laughter. His body was trembling, powerless.

"Sorry, sorry..."

"out of... Mika, even though I'm insensitive. I'm not that stupid either" he continued.

"You know?! Since when?!" surprised Mika blushing.

"Well, I mean, you have wings."

Aqua pointed at the wings that were almost detached from Mika's back.

"But it's impossible for just an ordinary angel to arrive in brackets in a high-rank dungeon like this. Then the news of Arc-Angel's disappearance in the war for holding back the enemy for his comrade's sake was also widespread out there. Most importantly, you introduced yourself as 'Mika.' With all those clues, I'd be a fool if I didn't notice."

"Am I wrong? Arc-Angel Michael?" ask Aqua to make sure.

The smug smile on Aqua's face looked a little annoying in Mika's eyes. The angel was a little sulking because he felt free to prepare mentally.

"...... You're right," Mika replied upsetly.

Seeing Mika sulking as she puffed her cheeks, Aqua recalled the times Tiara had lashed in her previous life.

"really... How can two people be that similar..."

"You didn't ask anything because you realized it?!" mika asked a little angry.

"Of course not. I realized you were Michael. But that doesn't mean I know anything but that."

"......."

Mika looked at Aqua in disbelief.

"Hahaha..really! I really don't know! Therefore please tell me the rest, Miss Michael!" goda Aqua's.

"........ Yasudah. Besides from the beginning I had planned to tell you everything," Mika replied still sulking.

Aqua giggled amusedly looking at him, she sat quietly while waiting for Mika to explain everything. Actually Aqua's nature is not seriang and this warm since the death of Citrine. But when he was with Mika, the boy felt back home, to where his sister was. More than Yue and Ruby, the nostalgic feeling she felt about Tiara on Mika was greater.

"When he looks older than me, but I feel like I'm back as a big brother" he thought warmly.

Mika's sulking and embarrassed face disappeared instantly after the angel closed his eyes and remembered something that had happened before. Once those eyes opened, only anger and resentment were implied sharply. As far as Aqua knew Mika, she had never seen Mika make such a face. Aqua knows, now is not the time to joke. Something that Mika would explain was something very important and serious.

"I'll explain everything from the beginning..."

...***...

Different from humans and other races in Demetria, angels are not born from babies and grow up over time. Angels are born from the light of the Goddess, once they open their eyes, they are already in their most beautiful form.

The same goes for Arc-Angel. Once they are born, they are already in their adult form. Michael is not an exception.

Although she looks like a beautiful 19-year-old woman, Michael is actually 13 years old. The girl had not even reached the human adult age. Arguably, Michael is the youngest Arc-Angel of the five Arc-Angel.

Michael who is the youngest Arc-Angel greatly admired and trusted his four brothers. He studied and continued to learn in order to stand upright beside the other Arc-Angel. But ironically, in just 4 years since he was born, Michael immediately occupies the position as the strongest Angel. Beyond the first Arc-Angel, Gabriel.

His mature, calm and reliable nature made him famous and became the figure most admired by the Angels. As already explained, the Arc-Angel were born adults. They are not childish even though they are under 10 years old.

Each Arc-Angel has 100 regular armies of angels under its direct command. Michael's forces have also been the strongest in the 8 years since Michael's birth. Therefore, Michael is called a genius even among Arc-Angel.

However, such a Michael had 1 fatal flaw in him.

Michael is incomplete.

In order to hold the power of the Goddess' light so great, the Arc-Angel needed a powerful soul. That's something Michael doesn't have. Michael's soul was too weak to hold the Goddess's light power that was too great.

After being investigated by Gabriel and Uriel who are already like Michael's older brother, it is known that the reason for Michael's weak soul is because his soul is incomplete. And because of that, Michael seemed to have an incurable chronic disease.

"The teaching is incomplete?" think Aqua.

"I trust them. I'm sure everything will be fine because they're my brother. Who would have thought that the day I was betrayed by my own sister would come" said Mika sadly.

"Mica..."

8 Months ago

Arc-Angel Palace, Floating Continent

"What?! Hecate troops have already broken through the border?!! How can?!!" said Gabriel angrily.

"This is an information leak!!! The movement of the Hecate army should be the eastern region of the Demon Continent, so we sent Raphael's army to suppress them. But if they infiltrate the Soaring Continent, it means that our side's information is leaking," saur Uriel frowned as she stared at the world map.

"You mean there's a traitor on our side?!!" gabriel was angry.

"The possibility of betrayal will always exist. The most we have to do now is to quickly deal with this problem."

Michael walked into the room and immediately joined the conversation.

"Michael's... Aye! We have to deal with this immediately. The matter of Hecate's forces will be left to Gabriel and Demigod Magiya!" exclaim Uriel.

"Send me! I will definitely not let them enter the Floating Continent!" reply Gabriel sure.

"Good, now we must withdraw Raphael's forces. But..."

"Is there a problem, Uriel?" ask Michael worried.

"I can't contact Raphael. Well, then, we'll have to send someone to pull Raphael back before it's too late."

Uriel's tone sounded depressed and troubled.

Among the five Arc-Angel, Uriel is the greatest in strategy and tactics. In this holy war, Uriel is the supreme leader who rules the course of the war. So he could not go down to the battlefield directly and had to remain at the headquarters and set up a strategy.

"Uriel"

"I'm the one who left!"

Michael's words were cut off by someone who had just walked into the room. Arc-Angel with cream hair and sapphire eyes similar to Michael approached Uriel.

"!"

"Uriel cannot go and Michael who is our main force must not go either. So let me go, "said the woman with a carefree smile.

"Bab!!!"
