Chapter 2245: Recovering the Soul (Gabriel)
The baby angel Gabriel's hand passed through the barrier that protected the body of the Precipice of Patience. The Sigil of Patience embedded on the enemy suddenly reacted as it faltered for a split moment. The baby angel Gabriel is registered as the ultimate threat instead of Adrian. The body of the Precipice of Patience suddenly erupted with spikes, but time suddenly stopped.
[The hidden veil of the Precipice of Patience has been deactivated.]
[It will be unable to use the Sigil of Patience for five seconds.]
Adrian appeared next to Ark and the baby angel Gabriel. He made sure to move them a few meters away so that they would not be harmed. He could see that the Sigil of Patience is reacting to the baby angel Gabriel, but the golem is holding onto that power as well. The only way for the baby angel Gabriel to recover a part of his soul is to truly destroy the current vessel.
All of the barriers and even the ability of the Precipice of Patience has been disabled as well. The Precipice of Patience is now left defenseless thanks to the efforts of Ark and the baby angel Gabriel. They did not know if it will really work since this plan was something they thought on the fly. Also, there was a high risk that the baby angel Gabriel could be killed if something goes wrong but Adrian made sure to eliminate the risk via Time Stop.
"I guess I should make maximum effort. The Great Divide!" Adrian stated as he is now in his axe demon form.
Adrian made time flow again normally and the Precipice of Patience actually noticed him. The enemy tried to fire off the spikes that it grew to its body since its original target was gone but Adrian is faster. With the force that could create a literal trench, Adrian slammed his axe towards the Precipice of Patience.
The Sigil of Patience tried its best to make its current host survive but it ultimately failed. Some of the powers of the Sigil of Patience were already taken by the baby angel Gabriel. The last bit of control that the golem had over the Sigil of Patience tried to save it, but the axe made of Primordial Energy sliced it like butter.
[You have defeated the Precipice of Patience (Battle Seraph Mode).]
[You have gained experience points.]
The Precipice of Patience is perfectly sliced in half as well as the island that is below them as the excess power seems to be siphoned off by the land below. The Precipice of Patience, that is now cut in two, dropped to the ground as it lost all of it durability. The thing that only remained in the sky is none other than Sigil of Patience as if it is looking for a new host.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"You shall not get away this time! Get back to me!" The baby angel Gabriel stated as he flew straight towards the Sigil of Patience.
The body of the baby angel Gabriel started to get enveloped in golden light as the Sigil of Patience started to get engraved on his chest. The small body of the baby angel Gabriel started to grow bigger as he regained the part of his soul that was missing. The Angel Gabriel could be seen to be exhilarated as the powers he lost is now returning back to him.
"Finally, back to my old self!" The Angel Gabriel stated but Ark and Adrian looked at him for a moment before they averted their gazes.
"Good job." Ark stated.
"I guess I should go down to get the dropped materials." Adrian stated but Ark did not let go of his hand.
"Do not leave me here, guild master. You were the one that said that he would return to normal if he gets a part of his soul back." Ark stated as he fiercely gripped Adrian to make sure The would not be left explaining.
"Why is there something wrong?" The Angel Gabriel asked as the two of his companions were not looking at him.
"You should look at yourself." Ark stated as he took out a mirror from his inventory and faced it towards the Angel Gabriel.
The Angel Gabriel thought that he was back to his peak strength as the energy in his body is just like before he died. He expected that his gallant and handsome appearance returned but he suddenly became speechless. The proud mature man figure that the Angel Gabriel had has not fully returned. He now has the body of an early teenager, and he was even lanky which shattered the pride that he had from his real figure.
"Why is my body like this!?" The Angel Gabriel exclaimed as he held the mirror while having a face that is trying to deny reality.
"I can only think of one thing." Adrian stated as both Ark and the Angel Gabriel looked at him. Ark made sure to hang on to his guild leader because Adrian is the only one that has an idea of what is happening. Ark knows that the anger of a teenager is more violent than the anger of a baby. He made sure to hang on to Adrian for deal life as he did not want to be sole receiver of the teenage tantrum. Adrian did not look at Ark or the Angel Gabriel as even he is not sure if his debacle is correct.
"I already told you earlier that the being would be weakened. That might be what you are experiencing right now." Adrian stated.
"I feel the same power coursing through my body as back then. I am weaker now since I am not empowered by the Goddess Luminaria like before. Still, I should still have the same power as I have because the missing part of myself feels complete." The Angel Gabriel stated.
"If you feel that your soul is complete then there could be another reason but even, I do not know if this is true. This is just something that I chatted about when I go to the Afterlife." Adrian stated.
"Well, go on with it!" The Angel Gabriel exclaimed as his teenage angst is now being activated.
"Calm down, sunshine. Take what I say with a grain of salt. The reason why you look like that is because that might be your real form." Adrian stated.
"How?! I looked like mature angel that is praised by all of the others! I was born with the body of a mature man." The Angel Gabriel stated.
"You may not have been born like that but forcefully matured while young. I guess the other angels were like that as well seeing that you do not have children. It might have also been the process where the Goddess Luminaria sealed your souls.
The mature appearance that you have was fabricated but even I do not know why. Maybe the Goddess Luminaria hated the appearance of children? I do remember that the Church of Light did not take any young priests as the minimum age of entering is actually when they become adults." Adrian stated but the Angel Gabriel actually looked like he got another realization. "That is actually true! She hated kids even back then as all they did is whine. She did not care for the wishes of children because they only pray for things in exchange." The Angel Gabriel stated as he looked defeated.
"Wait?! If that is what his real form is because his soul was sealed and his powers were limited, then does that mean that they can become more powerful in the future." Ark stated as he could see where Adrian was going with the explanation.
"I do not know if that is the case but there is a large chance that that can be possible. I mean
the devils became gods that ruled over Hell and could trap a monster like the Dragon of Revelation. Also, the golem earlier had powers that the Angel Gabriel did not use before which means that they can become more powerful. Still, take it with precaution as powers like that needs determination and strength to obtain." Adrian stated which made the ears of the
Angel Gabriel perk.
"If what you say is true then even, I can achieve godhood! With me being the first to recover my power, I would be stronger than Mikhail first. I can now slap some sense into him while I am at the top!" The Angel Gabriel stated as his last sentences revealed his inner thoughts.
"Does he have a grudge against Mikhail or something?" Adrian asked Ark.
"Apparently, he was like the secretary that works more compared to the president. He would always play pranks on Mikhail when he had the chance or when he knows he will not get
caught." Ark replied.
"I think that is justified. I even see my father's secretary do that as well from time to time to relieve his stress. Even my mother turns a blind eye when it is harmless." Adrian muttered as the Angel Gabriel was laughing like a maniac.
