Chapter 401 - 351 : Angels (2/2)
Like always, he wore a weird white costume and behaved like a lunatic, to say the least. He was chewing gum as he glanced down at the angel. It was only through a fluke did he notice this dying 'thing'.
”Bitch! You look like a homeless drunkard! My dead grandmother looks better than you tsk tsk!”
The Joker shook his head in disappointment before continuing:
”I thought angels were supposed to be majestic, righteous, bla bla bla… How come I only see a pile of dying shit? Is this perhaps a pleasant dream?”
He rubbed his eyes several times as if to ascertain of the current situation.
”Fuck! It's actually true!”
The Joker inspected the dying angel yet again, thoroughly checking him from head to toe before mocking him again:
”I've seen wild dogs in better condition than you… shit! A cockroach has more dignity than you. Come on man, if you want to crawl in this lovely desert, you have to do it properly, here… lemme show you.”
The Joker laid on the ground and assumed a swimming position before he started crawling.
The angel's face turned red from anger and embarrassment, he took a deep breath before shouting with a hoarse voice
”E-enough! Help me.”
The Joker stopped crawling and calmly got up. After patting dome sand off his clothes, he threw another chewing gum into his mouth and only after fully savoring its flavor did he talk again:
”Oh no! What do I do?”
He acted panicked and backed away from the angel while hugging himself and adding:
”I'm but a pitiful mortal! I don't dare touch one of God's pure creations! Oh it's sinful… too sinful!”
The angel, whose death is imminent, glared at the Joker before turning toward the golden cup and continuing the cast… or so it should have been were it not for the Joker, who snatched the golden cup.
Mouthfuls of blood were spat by the angels, who stretched his hand in the air, precisely toward the Joker, who waved at him and flew away as if nothing happened.
So, like that, the angel took his last breath in this unknown place, surrounded by a mysterious red desert that stretched for millions of kilometers.
After a few hours, the Joker, who was cheerfully flying across that desert suddenly halted mid-air and said
”Oh… I forgot to introduce myself! Shit! It would've been worth it for him if he saw my amazing introduction before he dies. It would've allowed him to go to Heaven…”

A humanoid creature with two large wings and a horn erecting from his forehead was currently kneeling in front of an illusory silhouette.
”Master, please look at this.”
Belos handed a recording crystal to 'X', who was gazing at the night sky with an absent-minded look. Hearing his subordinate call out to him, 'X' snapped out of his daze and fumbled with the crystal before nonchalantly watching the recorded footage.
It showed a large tiger with two dramatically different wings, lightning swirled around it and it used the infamous Dark Magic. 'X' leaned his head closer to the crystal and carefully re-watched the whole fight.
”Dark Magic?”
'X' asked his trustful servant only to receive an honest answer
”Yes, it is Zodiak's Dark Magic, without a doubt. A lot of powers are making a move as Zodiak's legacy is not something to be trifled with.”
'X' remained silent for a long time before coldly snorting, clearly displeased
”Hmpf! I fought that sinister old man in more than one occasion. He's always full of tricks! Still, his Dark Magic is really dangerous.”
He got up and picked his cane before adding
”Well, it matters not. Focus on finding Arthur, the Orb should cause a huge disturbance soon enough and at that time, he won't be able to hide! Hehehehehe”
