A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!-Chapter 35 35: Yes, It Was Me!
?"I was given a mission, and a partner along with the mission. My partner was an angel who was one of the few who showed me kindness. Although he tried to hide it in the presence of his peers. I notice his act was selfish now, but it was more kindness than I had from most then. His name was Evan. We were given the mission to eliminate a pair of demons that were tempting humans with their offers. While you were allowed safe living as long as if you didn't harvest souls, they were there illegally. The two demons were of Pride and Wrath, two groups that rarely coexist. Still, the two were offering gifts of revenge and vanity in order for the human's souls. Evan and I went to their location, a city I believe is called Seattle." Aureal took a breath before continuing.
"Upon finding the location of the two demons, it was decided that Evan would defeat the Wrath demon, and I the demon of Pride. It should have been the other way around. During the fight, Evan and I were separated, and the demon began talking to me while we fought. He said he knew about the power I possessed from God. He knew it had lain dormant all my life." Said Aureal pausing for a moment then began to speak again.
"He said I liked being unique; that I liked being chosen by God to possess a power no other angel had. He offered to... Unlock this power inside me. I refused instantly, and during the fight, he continued to tempt me. I regret that I wavered during one of my refusals. The demon noticed this; the demon somehow unlocked my power despite my refusal. It was then, that I finally found out the power given to me by God." Said Aureal finishing up.
Aureal grew more unstable with her emotions, but Alex dared not interrupt her, "While all angels, I am no exception, have dominion over the power of light. I was also given dominion over the opposite of light, darkness. As effectively as I could wield light as my weapon, at that moment, I could wield darkness in the same ways. Light harms demons, like a poison, and darkness harms angels in the same way, though light can still harm angels and darkness can still harm demons. This new influx of power allowed me to eliminate the demon." Aureal wiped her eyes with a cloth I handed her.
"I searched the area for Evan and his battle. I saw Evan, slain at the hands of the Wrath demon. The power unlocked inside me made me unstable with my emotions, and I wanted revenge. I gave my wrath to the demon of wrath, ironic..." She said again but stopping in a middle, then starting again.
"The resulting fight between me and the remaining demon caused an explosion. An explosion which caused the destruction of a tower within the city. Many humans died in the resulting explosion, and the tower fell, killing even more." She said somewhat emotionally.
"You don't happen to mean the Seattle Space Needle? I saw on the news a couple of weeks ago, it said it was a terrorist attack. And only recently that they were finally clearing the rubble and getting the full death count... You caused it?" Asked Alex, he wouldn't blame her, but he wanted to know for sure that she caused the tower to fall.
Aureal admitted to the controversy, "Yes, it was I who ultimately caused the death of all those humans. Not Evan, nor the two demons, but my failure to refuse the demon's offer and my emotions. I was punished severely by my superiors in Heaven."
"I see... We may have been cursed or blessed with power, but you have had much more sorrow than me in the past. Especially recently. I won't blame you for that explosion... In my mind, most demons represent their Sin to the fullest. They use convincing words and mind tricks in order to get humans or some angels to fall for their deals. The demon had to have read your past and used it against you. I'm technically describing myself here too, but I can say this for sure. Most, if not all, demons are complete douchebags."
Aureal looked surprised at Alex's words. Alex continued his rant, "I haven't met very many demons, but I have read about many, and the ones I've read about using every trick in the book to complete their dirty deeds. I'm sort of self-praising here now, but I can say this for sure, not all demons do this. The ones that don't probably stick back in their lands because they don't want to harm humans or angels, or just don't care or think it's worth their time. Those ones are far better than the demons you met."
He resumed his smooth and calm voice, "I'm very thankful you didn't kill me when we first met. Hearing your story now, I would understand why you hate demons so much. I'm actually much more surprised that you didn't kill me when we first met, but don't get me wrong, I'm thankful."
Alex didn't notice, but Aureal's face turned slightly red. "The reason why I am telling you of my past is because I feel an emotion called guilt."
"Ah, why are you feeling guilty now?" Alex grew apprehensive, he wasn't sure, but he believed something was going to happen soon.
"I was given a reprieve from my punishment and ordered to investigate you and the demonic sources around you. There has been one legal and illegal demonic entry and a powerful witch residing around you. I was told to investigate you and find out when you would be fully awakened to your power in order to confirm it was you who would be the Lord of Lust." Aureal explained, Alex could definitely hear the guilt in her voice.
"Well, I guess I am."
"I reported to my superiors of my findings and was given another chance at full erasure of my punishment. This new chance required me to eliminate you and the sources of power residing around you."
Shock hit Alex, he could honestly tell himself he wasn't surprised, but he was still shocked at the revelation. He wasn't sure on how to react, and his mind burst with thoughts for the first time in a small while.
