229 Tears of joy (2/2)

A mantle of red lightning appeared around a woman, who was hugging a baby, and she was lifted into the air.

Numir has experienced this before so she was not scared. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she looked at the sky and saw the impressive figure of Ezequiel.

She landed on his palm and was surprised to see a person sitting on his shoulder. It was a young man with black hair and the golden eye on his forehead was focused on her.

Her hard life has forced her to be always alert and pay attention to every detail around her. She did not have any information about the man but seeing his relaxed behavior as if he was ready to take a nap above Ezequiel's body, allowed her to deduce who he was.

”Numir greets Lord Zatiel, leader of the Daybreak Clan.” Numir performed a bow to Zatiel before this one said a single word.

When Zatiel heard that, he was surprised. Even if he doesn't do anything, his body released an aura that would make any mortal feel afraid of him, but that was not the case with the woman in front of him.

”So she is the one you spoke of, not bad. A resolute will that was tempered by a life of suffering and grief. She will make a good addition to our race.” Zatiel was pleased with Numir's attitude.

”Yes, she will.” A tender light appeared on Ezequiel's eyes as he looked at the woman in his palm.

A happy smile appeared on Numir's face when he heard that and her eyes were full of devotion as she looked at Ezequiel.

”The process is very painful and although I doubt you will have a problem with it, I will still give you some warnings. Be sure your' will maintain resoluteness and do not fall into unconsciousness.”

Numir made sure to engrave those words in her mind.

”Please, hand over the baby. It will not be safe for him to be with you during the transformation as we will use Abyss Aura, a dangerous type of energy which would harm him.” Zatiel appeared in front of Numri and extended his arms to grab the child in her arms.

When Numir saw how Zatiel was about to grab her brother, her entire body trembled. She jumped backward and her eyes filled with fear but also a wild killing intent.

Peculiar expressions appeared on the Neo-Demons when they saw her reaction. Zatiel sighed and pity could be seen on his face, meanwhile, Ezequiel's eyes filled with boundless wrath.

Numir's eyes widened and her face became pale. Her body acted on pure instinct. When she saw the rage in Ezequiel's eyes, a great pain assaulted her heart.

”I am sorry... I don't know what...” She started to feel anxious but Zatiel calmed her.

”Don't worry, he is not angry with you, on the contrary, he cares deeply. We felt the greatest anger when we saw the people we love hurt.”

The reason for the expressions of the duo was that they understood that the trauma the Heavenly race left on her was so grave, that even now that she wanted to trust in others, her body still reacted on its own.

The levels of terror she had to endure must have been enough to drive most people crazy.

Ezequiel saw the confusion his reaction produced and sent an arc of red lightning to Numir, that calmed her emotions and relaxed her body.

”We were waiting to deliver it as a welcoming present when you become part of our race, but it seems it will be better if we hand it over now.” Zatiel waved his hand and two figures came out from his ring.

When Numir saw them, shock appeared on her face, and in the next moment, tears filled her eyes. Her heart was filled with happiness as she ran forward.
