Chapter 222 - Permanently Stuck With The Fragments
-----
Aruliel developed increasingly fast as a fighter and as a powerful Angelic beauty, so her powers were growing and growing incessantly and without stopping, in just a few more months she could grasp even stronger abilities and spells without problem, she simply needed constant hard work and a motivation to do this hard work, which as of now was protecting Chaos and the friends she had made in this little time.
Aruliel showed to have special abilities too, such as Angel-like powers, some of them were obvious such as the incredible flight speed she had, but there was also the Aegis of Protection, a special Angelic Ability, there were also Eyes of Heaven, which could see through a lies, magic, and malice, a complete all-detector was included in these eyes too, although this only worked half for her as her other eye ended corrupted and couldn't use this power.
Angels also had a power named Divine Weapon Summoning, which let them summon the materialization of their souls into a divine weapon of incredible power… Aruliel's divine weapon was an unlikely one, being a Flute, Chaos could see why she was called a low-ranking Angel… And similarly to divine weapon summoning, divine equipment was there too, her divine equipment was a mere white dress though, the one she often used, so it wasn't much either, sadly…
Nonetheless, Aruliel worked hard to get what she wanted and slowly mastered her abilities one more, she was trying to learn how to use other weapons though and seemed to be working on using spears and blades, her two new favorite weapons, and she was given two of them specifically crafted using the Dungeon Creation Ability while adding divine materials, which was done by Erebus.
The arrival of Aruliel also affected the Demons amongst Chaos allies, specifically Ifrit and Lilith, who seemed to have seen her as a rival the moment she showed up, saying they had a "natural enmity" against angels as if they were made to hate each other. They explained that Demons such as them who originate from the Gates of Hell despite Angels who are the servants of The One because they were born from the power of Lucifer, the Fallen Angel that defied The One, his creator, and was then confined into the Gates of Hell, a special Dimension made by The One.
This was because Lucifer was his strongest Angel, and it couldn't be easily contained anywhere else than in a damn dimension personally made for him. Lucifer's resentment towards his own father transferred to the rest of the demons created in his dimension and they all ended hating angels.
Although now that they were made into summons contracted to Chaos, their instincts as demons had reseeded a lot and they discovered they didn't really hated Aruliel and it was all a show, at the end, they felt no hate towards her, and her clumsy and cute nature only earned their hearts.
Now that it was proven that demons actually accepted the existence of angels it was pretty much confirmed Aruliel was saying the truth… she got a bit angry after knowing Chaos had been doubting her this whole time, but it was normal for him to be so skeptic, there were a lot of crazy people out there that would say they were this and this without evidence, he was simply being a man of principles.
Aside from this, she was slowly recovering more memories as she grew stronger, so Chaos was planning on asking her a lot about her life previous to everything.
As of now he was now checking her body out with Edward and Abyss (who wouldn't let Chaos spend any time alone with Aruliel).
"I suppose there can't be any way to extract these fragments, it is a pity that my lord cannot grow stronger quickly by absorbing them…" sighed Edward.
They had investigated Aruliel's body for a while, and ended up finding out that the fragments had truly merged with her soul and body to the point of no return, a sad turn of events for the Weeping Angel as she began to cry like she often does.
"Ueeh?! It means I'll never get these things out of me?!" she cried.
"Most likely, I am sorry for you, Aruliel." Said Edward.
"Why sorry? those fragments are strong! it will make you stronger." Said Abyss while nodding and feeling a bit angry that this girl was acting cocky over it.
"B-But its nasties my true and pure nature as an angel…" she cried.
"You're a Fallen Angel now, so I don't think it matters. You've already fallen from grace and your army, so you're a fallen angel… got it? fallen-" said Chaos.
"Okay, okay! I got it, I won't cry! Stop calling me that…" sighed Aruliel, as she cleansed her little weeping tears and sighed in sorrow.
"What should I do now then?" she wondered.
"You'll grow stronger and continue growing stronger." Said Chaos.
"T-That's a very simple approach…" said Aruliel.
"Well, our task is simple, it involves killing a lot, so to kill a lot you have to grow strong by killing even more… this entire cycle, all of the Universe, is just all about killing." Said Abyss.
"Pretty much." Said Chaos.
"Hahah… W-Well, sorry to interrupt you three, but here, these radiography made out of artifacts show her interior, she has the fragments fused into her muscles, bone, and internal tissue, and they cannot be taken away either… they're part of her internal organs, something that amazed me." Said Edward.
"Interesting… I wonder if she can develop the fragments power, she only got dark magic out of them, right? What fragments are these?" asked Abyss.
"I've checked them in detail, she has a Forbidden One Demonic Eye in her crimson-red eye, alongside that, she got Forbidden One Fleshy Muscles, and Forbidden One Black Blood… all of it merged into her body and making up a big part of all of it…" said Chaos.
"Oohh… So I am already a big monster…" she sighed.
"Well, look the bright side of it, you're no longer sealed and patiently waiting your demise, provoked by your own hand." Said Abyss.
"I-I will…" sighed Aruliel.
