230 Expendable force (1/2)
The reason for Numir's tears of happiness was that the couple who just appeared in front of her were her parents. The ones who died at the hands of the Heavenly race and the persons the woman though she would never see again.
The couple was confused but when they saw their children, everything else in their minds disappeared and they ran to meet them.
The moment they reached each other, they hugged as if they were afraid that if they let go, they will never see each other again. Numir and her parents could not stop crying, but the baby only looked at the trio with an innocent smile on his face.
The two Neo-Demon remained silent and did not disturb the family reunion.
When Zatiel saw that scene an image appeared on his mind. A family of five, all of them laughing as they shared a meal. They were simple people, but they were happy and full of love.
'I have not thought about them in a long, long time.' A complicated smile appeared on Zatiel's face. After a moment he shook his head and let those memories fade away.
Numir hugged the couple for more than ten minutes until she finally was able to calm down and she stared at Ezequiel, who was looking back at her with a kind smile.
”How is this possible, I was sure they...” Numir was ecstatic when she saw her parent and realized her family was whole once again. But she could not understand how they were here when she saw how they were butchered by the Heavenly race.
”I recovered their remains from the battlefield in which I killed the members of the Heavenly race who harmed you. I reconstructed their bodies and then asked my Master to bring their souls back. It may sound like a miracle but in truth, it is just magic and knowledge.” Ezequiel explained what he did to Numir, and he let the couple hear his words, to solve some of their doubts.
To the current Zatiel, resurrecting a couple of mortals who died by physical means was extremely easy. He was able to do something similar when he was just a Rank 1 Neo-Demon, and now that he has reached Rank 3 and had the help of Terminus, everything was much simpler.
”Thank you,” Numir said nothing more but the feelings that accompanied those two words were as deep as an ocean.
”Ok then, let's get moving, I have a war to manage and time is precious. Leave your brother with your parents. After the transformation is over, you can solve their doubts.”
Zatiel was too lazy to handle the thousands of questions the couple had.
Numir noded and without delay she handed her little brother to her parents. A transparent cocoon of red lightning formed around the trio and moved them to Ezequiel's other palm.
Numir followed Zatiel's instructions and adopted a meditative position. The Ancestor of the Neo-Demon race put his hand on her back and from his spatial ring, threads of liquid Abyss Aura were coming out and entering her body.
After the battle on the island, Zatiel transformed all the Fallen who were incapacitated into Abyss Aura and saved all of it into the spatial ring Gabriel gave him, so he could use it later.
Once he obtains the bloodlines of the Scientia Kingdom, he will start to transform the members of the Daybreak clan who have proved themselves worthy into Neo-Demons.
An immense pain assaulted Numir but a life where every day was a living nightmare had prepared her well.
Ezequiel was focused on her and was ready to provide help in case anything happens, but his concerns were for nothing. The Chaotic-Core was built without a problem inside Numir's heart.
While Numir was distracted by the power that was running through her body, Zatiel instructed Ezequiel.
”You can handle her training. Ask Dante if you need any type of Path Technique. I need to gather with the Fallen and also meet the troops that will come from home. Be ready, we will be fighting again very soon.”
After Zatiel saw that Ezequiel nodded, he flew off the palm of the Supreme Neo-Demon and entered the magic tower before using the teleportation facilities.
