The Cruel Fate
Part 33.2
The sound of the cries of pain of the demons that perished in the past by the black fire belonging to Arrio as well as the voice of the Phoenix who reported their victory in the enemy fortress made the steps of August who previously wanted to get closer now stopped momentary. The entire attention of all who were on the battlefield now turned to the fortress belonging to the Devils who had been waging such a huge fire there.
August knew he had made the archangel angry. And this incident, opened the second wide
his eye. That even, when Arrio himself was in front of him. He was able to destroy the headquarters of his enemy with just a small flame that turned terrifying like this.
Derrick himself was very surprised by what he saw. The look in his eyes immediately stared so sharply at Arrio who turned to look at him with a feeling of relief.
Arra has been saved.
“You Fuck!!!” shouted Darrick who immediately swung his sword, but came to a halt due to August's deafening cry of all who were there.
"STOP IT!" august shouted with all his might.
Now, only a gust of wind could be heard bursting out amid the silence of the two great armies.
August advanced before all the troops and looked at Darrick and Arrio with his shady eyes in turn. “Stop this battle, Darrick! Arrio!”
“Can't! I won't stop this until my grudge against him is met! I wouldn't
stop!” screeches Darrick.
“You shouldn't have a grudge against Arrio. It wasn't him who killed your mother and sister, Darrick!” August Emphatic. The atmosphere became silent as August's thunderous voice sounded. Darrick looks most confused when others including Arrio understand where the end of the conversation is.
“I am the one who killed them. I gave the order to get your father out
from hell on the basis of the covenant between us, and I also gave the order to attack hell that night. I'm the same person who killed your mother and sister when he found out Arrio saved them.” August's tone of voice turned trembling, yet full of confidence and firmness.
His sharp eyes continued to look at Darrick unblinkingly, signaling that he was very serious.
At that moment, both Arrio and the others immediately closed their eyes. The truth is revealed, though
it was too late because of the war.
“Do not deceive me! You guys planned this so I could stop this war, right? Coward!”
Darrick is still full of emotion.
August throws white parchment at Darrick, “Read! You'll understand everything.”
Darrick immediately opened the parchment, reading it carefully. While Arrio, Aiden, Arsen, and
Athens began giving orders to lower the weapons temporarily.
“This.... what does all this mean?” Darrick gazes toward August and Arrio, asking for an explanation from
everything is.
“Me and your father, we.. have one enemy in common, and that is..,” August stared at Arrio, “father.
August lowered his head, “We feel the existence of Arrio and his family is a big barrier to
we achieve our own goals. Therefore, we agreed to work together to get rid of the Arrio family. Especially, Arrio who became the candidate leader of the Archangel and his father who was very reluctant.”
“Then you sent my father out of the house with me?” ask Darrick.
“Hm, you're right. The attack should be there, but from the devil to the angel, with your ayaHmu being the leader. After that, I will be the savior of that war and embrace your father
get into our circle. In fact, the plan was already known by the other archangels. Our supreme leader also requested that the angels attack first and destroy the demons that night,” explained August.
“Beched!” lirih Darrick with a cynical tone.
“We did this also for you, and my son.. Aiden,”.
“You also killed my mother and sister. Why?” ask Darrick.
“They are witnesses about this cooperation. And that witness, I can't let live.” August's reply suddenly made Darrick's blood boil. His demon soul seemed to be burning full of anger emotions and drew an arrow, aiming a shot at Aiden.
Jem!
One shot escaped, right hitting Aiden's right chest which immediately collapsed because it was not ready to receive a surprise attack.
“AIDEN!” All who were there shouted and ran over, while Arrio, who from the beginning had drawn his sword towards the ruler of hell, raised his sword, and pierced Darrick's stomach until the demon bled from his lips and collapsed while Arrio's sword was still stuck.
“I'm sorry.. I,” said Darrick in a trembling voice before Arrio. It seemed that Arrio himself was quite surprised by what was done due to his already mounting anger.
The entire Devil ran off the ridge and dispersed after seeing their supreme leader tragically killed. His body lying on the ground with blood seemed to slap hard Arrio who had killed his own best friend.
“Arrio! Fast!” arsen shouts Arrio's grief earlier, seeing Aiden who is also sprawled, but still alive. Quickly, they brought him back to the tent.
***
Arra, Aksel, and Jason have just entered the angel tent area with Aiden's wounded body.
“Aiden?” Arra was shocked to see the blood on Aiden's body.
“Arra! My God!” Arrio chased after Arra and hugged the girl tightly. “You okay? Are you hurt?” arrio asked while checking all sides of the girl's body. He was so relieved to see Arra in a state of fine even though he had just caught a glimpse of her.
Arra nodded, “I'm fine, Honey. You how?”
Arrio smiled as he nodded. “Aiden...”.
Arra regained his senses, immediately turned around and looked at Arrio for a moment before Arrio nodded again and invited him into the tent where Aiden was. Arra immediately rushed in among the crowd.
“Who are you?” ask one of the angel commanders that August brought.
