In Yggdrasil, Angels were magical beings that were summoned from another realm and a race a pyer could choose to be.

  Yuuji, himself, possessed the Angel race as well as its advanced evolution; Argel and Seraphim.

  In the new world, most people sidered them as simply monsters summoned from another world.

  While some, such as the citizens of the Sheocracy or those who believed deeply ieags, believed them to be the messengers of the Gods.

  And those whiven access to a knowledge through scriptures, tomes, or possessed diviems left by the Six Great Gods, such as the one who held the title of First Seat of the Bck Scripture, khat their beliefs were much closer to the truth.

  There were many types of angels, and they could be divided into several ranks. Each possessed a different appearance as well as the number of wings, which sigheir power and station within the heavens.

  An Argel Fme was a low-ranked ahat most priests within the Scripture were capable of summoning. They possessed one pair of wings and were profit in melee bat and magi addition to having the ability to fly and redug the damage they would’ve taken from unented or special ons.

  They were powerful when pared to an average soldier, or even to an average knight of the Baharuth Empire. However, when pared to the more skilled individuals who possessed ented ons, they do not pose too much of a threat.

  The Principality of Observation was a mid-ranked angel with 2 pairs of wings that could only be summoned by a 4th tier magic. They were powerful angels with the ability to enhahe defensive capabilities of all allied forces within its line of sight as long as it was stationary.

  However, while its main capabilities were oriented more towards enhang allies’ capabilities, it was still an a the pinnacle of the third sphere.

  Any adveeams below at least Orichalcum would be hard pressed in a battle against it. Though, members of the Bck Scripture would not find it too difficult to dispatbsp;

  However, there was one ahat even the captain of the Bck Scripture wished he wouldn’t enter in a battle.

  Dominion Authority. An ahat would be impossible to summon uhrough rge scale rituals. It possessed three pairs of wings, and was an angel of the sed sphere. A heavenly governor of the heavens. The maion of the Gods’ will and might.

  It was a being that perhaps, only the special seat could test against, and “she” was not in the realms of mere mortals or heroes.

  The Captain of the Bck Scripture looked at the being that stood in the sky. His mind raced through the decades of knowledge he had been granted by the Theocra hopes to identify the being before him. But, while his knowledge may have helped him before, he only dug himself to even deeper despair.

  The being that stood on the skies above, with not three, not four, but six pairs of jet-bck wings on its babsp;

  None of the a scriptures, tomes, or divine knowledge bestowed by the Six Great Gods had ever mentioned an angel with six pairs of wings… Nor had they ever mentioned an angel with jet-bck wings.

  Moreover, while the summoned angels were humanoids, they do not resemble humans so closely.

  But the being before them appeared human in every way aside from his jet-bck wings.

  It wore a tight, purple-dark with golden stripes, long ed sleeves, and a frilled white cravat. And wor was a bd gold cloak with crimson lining the inside and an enormous bck cape enrig the head.

  Judging from its attire and the physique that rippled from beh the obsidian fabric, the figure appeared to be a man. However, his true appearance could not be ascertained as his face was covered by a they couldn’t really tell his true appearance as his face was covered by a spiky bd indigo mask.

  The being looked down at them. Despite its eyes obscured by the mask, every single one of them could feel it.

  They were exposed before him as his gaze bored into them. An indescribable pressure pressed upon them, before he shifted his gaze towards the vampire, and the pressure disappeared.

  “You did well, Shalltear. There is o worry about the rahat got away. He would serve nicely as a catalyst for our pns.”

  “Y-Yes! I-I uand! Thank you very much, my lord!”

  The Bck Scripture all froze when they heard the words uttered by the vampire called Shalltear.

  At first, they thought that the fallen angel was her rade. A being of equal station and power.

  But the realization of their mistake sent chills down their spines.

  He was not her equal… He was above her. Her lord…!

  The vampire alone had resisted the effects of the divireasure left to them by the Six Great Gods, killed Cedran and Beaumarchais, and injured dy Kaire in a few moments.

  ‘By the six… Just what kind of monster could lord over such a monster…?’

  Escape. That was the only thing he could think of now…

  They could not win… They could not even win against the vampire. Now with her lord here, only death awaited.

  His mind raced once more, cog a pn to escape the two catastrophisters and bring the injured dy Kaire and his two dead rades back to the Theocrabsp;

  Running ahysically would be impossible. He khey would not be capable of running away from the two monsters, especially with added literal dead weight.

  Their only option was to escape magically, through teleportation.

  The captain of the bck scripture g the beautiful golden-haired woman, her feathered green hood that normally decorated her head now long gone, blown away by the powerful winds created by the vampire’s rampage.

  Without the need for words, just a look of fear, desperation, and hope, the captain veyed his will to the holder of the fourth seat of the Bck Scripture, “Divine t”.

  With her magic, she would be able to teleport most of them out… They’d only o buy time until she could finish her t.

  But before they could even attempt it, the fallen angel spoke once more.

  “Your attempts to teleport or call for help would be pointless. I have cast [Dimensional Lock] to prevent any form of teleportation and an Anti Divination barrier to prevent your “friend” from looking here.”

  A bluff.

  The Captain of the Bck Scripture would’ve written off those words as a mere bluff of a delusional magic caster, if they were not spoken by a twelve-winged fallen angel.

  While he was not aware of the name and effect of the spell called [Dimensional Lock], he could not dismiss it and attempt his teleportation pn.

  The name of the spell often described its effect. And if it was true in this case as well… he could not fathom just what tier of magic could a spell capable of twisting and log the space around them to prevent teleportation via magic be.

  ‘Seventh… no, perhaps eve…?’

  A realm even he only ever heard in legends and a scriptures…

  Then, his attention quickly shifted to the sed part of his words.

  Could he… know? Was he aware that the Thousand Mile Astrologer would periodically look over them during this mission…?

  ‘And he even has the ability to obscure divination spells…?’

  If all he said was true… then there was no other path to escape except running physically. And he was sure they would not be able to outruwo monsters with literal dead weights in their hands. Not against the monsters, who each of them would be at the very least on par with the Extra Seat.

  “Oh bck winged angel… It seemed there had been a misuanding. We are the Bck Scripture of the Sheocracy, and we had just defended ourselves from the vampire under your rule. We do not seek flict!”

  “flict?”

  The twelve-winged fallen angel muttered, but his voice was clearly heard by every single living member of the Bck Scripture as they looked up, clutg onto their ons or whatever symbolic items they had for fort.

  “Indeed. You may not seek flict with my subordinate. However… I know that you wished to trol her with that item, didn’t you, members of the Bck Scripture?”

  ““!!!””

  Though no words were uttered, Lelouch could easily take their silence as firmation.

  Their eyes were widened in shock. Every single one of them.

  “Well, it would’ve worked. Unfortunately for you, however, the ‘diviem’ you sider absolute… is not.”

  ‘He even knows about the [Downfall of Castle and try]...?!’

  If it was silent before, it was now a vacuum.

  The Bck Scriptures could not believe it… How could he know about the most powerfully guarded secret divireasure of the Sheocrabsp;

  His first instinct was to immediately suspect the existence of traitors. However, he could firm nothing right now. All he could was that, suspect.

  But even more than that… he was now worried for his and his rades' survival…

  Shalltear, oher hand, finally realized what had happened.

  The “Diviem” Lelouch mentioned must’ve beehe so-called World Item, the ohe Supreme Beings mentioned on multiple occasions to be the stroreasures in Yggdrasil.

  And to resist the effect of a World Item, they must possess a World Item of their own.

  ‘Is… Is that why Yuuji-sama lehe Billion Bdes…?’

  Could he have predicted such a thing to happen…? For someohin this world to possess a World Item that might threaten her?

  Such a fht… Shalltear could not even begin to prehend the wisdom and intelligence her beloved master could possess to predict such a thing.

  ‘And he lent me such a valuable item… all to protect me…’

  A warmth spread from her undead heart. A warmth only in her own imagination, but ohat filled her being with fort, love, and affe for her beloved.

  Oh how she wished she could return to his side and be in his presenow.

  The Fallen Angel slowly desded down to the ground. His wings fluttered slightly, shimmering like the starry night sky as the light of the moon shone upon it.

  “Now then, the night has goe, and there are still things we should attend by the m. And I’m sure Yuuji would like to see you to make sure you are well the momeell them what happened. We should finish up here soon.”

  Her eyes shimmered in delight as her lips curled into a wide, delighted smile.

  “Yes!”

  Lelouch turowards the Bck Scripture, and all of them raised their ons immediately.

  “Ready for battle! Divine t, take us out of here!”

  “Lelouch Lamperouge ands you…”

  The captain moved swiftly and stood before the Divine t while a few of the still living members of the Scripture made their charge towards Leloubsp;

  But before they could even move far, an absolute and was given.

  “Obey me.”

  And all of them went to a stand still before taking a knee on the ground before him.

  ““Yes, my lord.””

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  Shalltear watched in awed silence as one of the Supreme Beings stood before her. Before him, a pany of perhaps the stro humans she had ever entered ever sining to this new world kneeling before him. Their will bent to his will with but a single word of and.

  Yes. This was how every single human being in this world should act. Kneel with reverence beh the feet of the Supreme Beings that ruled over the world and act absolute obedienbsp;

  “Shalltear.”

  “Yes, my lord!”

  Shalltear lowered herself into a slight bow. Her eyes closed in pure revereowards the Supreme Being and one of the closest friends of Yuuji-sama before her.

  “You’ve done well with the group of sellswords in that cave as well as retrieving Brain. He would be a nice pawn to have for our pns in E-Rantel.”

  Lelouced towards Brain and looked into his eyes. A pair of cloudy, unfocused eyes looked ba, his mind still affected by Shalltear’s Mystic Eyes. But, it did not matter, for his Geass would overwrite her and and take him under his and.

  “Thank you very much, my lord. However… A-About that ranger…”

  Shalltear pursed her lips as she forced those words out shakily. She could not bear the shame a for having failed iask, especially when one of the Supreme Beings was watg!

  She should’ve succeeded with nothihan perfe!

  However, Lelouch waved his hand dismissively and turo her, his voice soft ale.

  “It is fine. His escape would be a blessing in disguise. We use him to spread the news about a rampaging vampire and have Yuuji, Aika, Ainz, and Lupu’s adventurer group to vanquish it. Of course, there won’t be any real fight. We simply destroy the surroundings to the point that it would seem like a great battle had occurred.”

  Shalltear’s eyes sparkled as her lips hung open in shocked awe.

  ‘As expected of the wisest supreme being…!’

  “Yes! Thank you very much, Lelouch-sama!”

  Lelouodded.

  “Now then, before you tinue your mission, we should report this back to the others aurn for a moment. I believe you have a way to unicate with Albedo?”

  “Ah, yes Lelouch-sama. I have been given several Message scrolls for such uses.”

  “Good. Then tell her about the situation. I will call Yuuji.”

  “Yes.”

  The two sent their messages to Yuuji and Albedo. And after a brief versation, Shalltear opened a [Gate] to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarid entered along with Lelouch, with Brain and the Bck Scripture following closely behind.

  The dark portal vanished, and the night once filled with screams of pain and cries for mercy returo its serene silenbsp;
