The Demon's Bride

Chapter 625: How Threads Connect-III

As her words enraged Redrick, Elise saw the angel rushing forward, trying to kill her with a reckless movements. Elise didn't forget how Camael was an Archangel, which explain his power despite his brash attacks.

A change then happened to Elise. As she watched Redrick loosing his cool, she could feel herself turning cold headed. Her anger was still there, roaming in her head, boiling her blood, but of all, her heart wasn't racing in anger, her choices was clear in that moment on what she should do.

As Redrick tried to grab her hair, Elise took the man's wrist. She pulled him forward and hit his knees, making him fall down and kneel on the ground, a movement which she did swiftly after seeing Ian doing the same in the past.

"You should never touched a woman's hair, Camael," Elise warned and she raised her hand, turning her shadow into a sword before plunging it downward when Redrick's white wings spread high, paying her away.

Elise pulled her brows, seeing Redrick trying to escape as he realized soon there would've more angels coming as it had been more than a few hours since he had killed his fellow angel.

"Don't run!" Elise screamed in anger at the cowardice Redrick showed as he didn't want to owe up on his own mistake.

Redrick didn't pay heed and soared. Unfortunately for Elise, she could not fly and even if she tried to push herself from the ground and float, she won't be able to hold herself on the air for long. Falling to her death was the last thing she wanted to happen. action

But Elise didn't forget how she wasn't alone.

She looked at her shadow that had become her blade and whispered, "Attack him. Make him suffer from a deep wound."

Jett whispered, "All your wish would come true, your highness," and as he turned again to a blade, Elise had thrown the blade with all her might, leaving Jett to choose where to pierce and he had chosen Redrick's right part of his stomach.

When Elise closed her eyes once, she was pushed back to the reality. Opening her eyes wide, she met her father's eyes who looked at her with concern.

"Father…" Elise gulped down her pant of breaths, "I changed the past."

Leviathan's eyes widened. It took him a while to realize what Elise had done. While going to the past had been impossible, it appears that Elise's power had grown differently compared to him. He could only see the past inside the memory the object or the person hold. But Elise, she had instead go to the past.

"We won't know what happen until we see the changes by ourselves, Satan might know," answered Leviathan. As much as he dislikes his father, he wasn't a brat who would continue stay angry even when the situation was dire.

"Whenever you are in danger come running to me as if I'm the answer all the world can offer, you are always as shameless as you are," Satan remarked spitefully as he came from behind them. His red eyes stared at both his son and his granddaughter then his eyes moved over to the pitch black wings which Elise had hold dearly on her hands.

"Isn't that what father is always about? Saving their children and being there in the time they needed," Leviathan answered while looking at Satan with an accusing gaze. The elder man frowned but remembering the promise he had made with Elise, he remained silent.

Leviathan raised his eyebrows at how his father who rarely allow him to speak back now stayed silent. He even said, "You're right."

Leviathan continue to stare at his father as if he had grown another two heads on his shoulders similar to Cerberus.

"If you changed the past, I believe nothing should be worried about," Satan replied to Elise who was still trying to process in her head what took place. Elise turned his face and looked at him in inquiry and heard him continue saying, "Your grandmother Ariel, had the same power as you. But instead she didn't use the shadows to help her read the past. I believed you had only inherited her power. She once did what you had done, changing a little in the past but nothing had took place. I believe it should be alright as long as you doesn't repeat it again. You never knew what change in the past could lead in the future."

"What did grandmother do?" Elise asked her grandfather, "I might have changed a pivotal past." She then gasped, remembering the urgent information she had to tell them, "And, I have found it… the angel who killed Lady Lucy. The angel name is Camael. He didn't kill Lady Lucy but all the responsibility falls into his hand. But there's something I don't understand. Camael was called the angel of wrath but the archangel who had harmed grandmother, he was also called the angel of wrath." It didn't make sense to Elise. Was Redrick also the same person who had harmed is grandmother that many centuries ago?"

"He isn't. The one who harmed your mother, he had been put to death by me." Satan sucked his breaths and sighed, "There's a lot of titles in Hell, Elise. Diablo, Leviathan, and Satan. But remind yourself that this isn't our real name. It is a title passed from one generation over the other similar to Caleb and your husband. But that didn't only took place in Hell. In Heaven, there are also titles passed to the angels. Such as: Gabriel, the angel who cannot lie; Michael, the angel who stand by the right, and, Raphael, the judge who rules a fair punishment. This is both their titles and their rules. The person who killed your grandmother, he received the title of the angel of wrath out of his mistake."

Elise knitted her brows… "But Camael, he was also the angel of wrath?" She went on a brief silent before her frown easing, "Camael is the next person who inherited the title of the wrathful angel?"

"Yes."

As Satan and Elise discussed about Camael, Leviathan was shocked at what he had heard.

"The angel who had killed Lucifer's sister, it was him? Camael?" He asked as if he didn't heard it the first time.

Elise didn't know what relationship his father had with Camael and she nodded her head, "I also think, he was also the person who had killed Seraphim and put the blame to Lucifer. He had also killed more angels before that," because during the time he had killed the angel with Lady Lucy, Camael didn't appeared guilty as if that time wasn't his first.

"You know him?" Satan asked with his eyes pointing down.

"He was my friend," and Leviathan had uttered 'was' because at that second, his friendship with Camael had ended.
