Chapter 8 - EPISODE-8

Arnos lost his consciousness as he strikes his heart.

Voice: Hey Wake up!

Arnos: Where am I?

Suddenly a light flashed to brightly that he was not able to see the person in front of her.

Frey: Arnos-Sama wake up! We need to save Kirios.

(poking her finger at his nose)

Arnos woke up while rubbing his eyes. He saw a lady as beautiful as a goddess she had short hair but looks were out of the world he lived in. Her eyes shined with beautiful starry glow. Arnos had a blush with his eyes opened wide.

Arnos: Who Who are yo-you?(embarrassed) 

Frey: Of course its me Frey!(She blows her mouth of anger)You couldn't even recognize me.

Arnos who was shocked to see the Frey in such a beautiful appearance. She wearing a white colored frock.

Arnos: You see its not what you think. Its just that I never thought you would be this beautiful. (Arnos not maintaining an eye contact was feeling shy)

Frey gains a big red blush over her face after hearing such statement from Arnos.

Frey: Idiot!(feeling a little shy)

Arnos: But you're talking so casually now. Otherwise you would just say "Report this Report that"

Frey gets angry and gives a knuckle on Arnos head. It created a bump.

Frey: I was a little uncomfortable to speak with you. I kept searching and understanding your life through your soul.

Arnos: But where are we?

Frey: This is heaven.

Arnos: So my plan worked.

Frey: Hmm

Arnos: So where will we find his soul.

Frey points at the great garden with a big memorial. Frey whistled and a Pegasus arrived from under the clouds beneath their feet. Arnos was amazed to see such creatures did existed. Frey jumps on its back and rubs the Pegasus' neck and gives Arnos a hand.

Frey: Come on hope in we have to save your brother.(she smiles)

Arnos was still feeling shy but after remembering his goal he grabbed her hand and hopped on the Pegasus' back. Frey tapped the Pegasus' neck twice and the ride began to move.

Frey: Hold on tight! The ride is going to be a little fast.

Arnos on the other hand was red from the thought should he hold tight by holding her. 

Frey: Uhh! Just grab my shoulders and come closer or you'll fall down when it takes it flight.

The Pegasus took a flight and Arnos instantly grabbed Frey by her waist with his eyes closed.

Frey kinda had a blush when he grabbed her by the waist and 

Arnos: Is something bothering you?

Frey: N-n-no not at all.(with a flush of red tint on her cheeks)

They flew and looked over the garden and saw the beautiful distinct flowers never ever seen before. Both Arnos and Frey gazes at the flowers bed beneath them while they were heading to the memorial. They finally reach and both jump off the Pegasus and Frey gives her pat on her head and thanks her.

Arnos: We are here.

Arnos gazes at the light and holy aura at the heaven. 

A sheep herder: Yo what are you looking you two?(He had light beard but had great looks apart from it. He had his long black hair tied in a bun. He had farmers like clothes and looked cheerful).

Arnos: Sir we came to get back the soul of a guy called Kirios.

A sheep herder: Seems kinda rare question but if you've guts try to figure out where your brother could be.

Arnos: How do you know that he my bro-

Herder: I know you cause I saw your soul from within you but your soul seems to be a complex mix with that girl.

Frey: Please help us to find him our great lord.

Herder: You'll get back the soul but how'll you recover the physical state of the body will be the greater challenge.

A girl with orange hair appeared from Frey's back.

Kia: I'll do the preparations for that as i have the soul's 19% ownership of Kirios Sama's soul.

Kia looked almost as cute as Frey

Arnos: Kia how did you came from behind Frey's back.

Kia: Its not much important right now.

Herder: Oh I forgot that the boy was joined with your soul just like this guy.

Arnos in his mind: So was the support system was souls that were attached by the dragon's flame.

Herder: You can find the soul within these sheep's but there's almost no time left cuz they'll be sent to afterlife in 10 minutes.

Arnos gets tensed and worried about the time limit and Arnos runs fast in the herd screaming Kirios' name. All sheep ran away from because of his screaming. Frey tried to do the same while Kia on the other hand sat down and closed her eyes. Herder smiles at little Kia who knew how she would find the soul of Kirios.

Kia goes in a state of silence where she tries to sense the soul where she read all Kirios' truth and lies. The dark area illuminated within her eyes with a distant figure of sheep she sensed the soul. She slowly stood up and followed the presence and went on slowly towards it and reached and put her hands over the head of the sheep and smiled.

Kia: Nice to meet you again Kirios-Sama.

The sheep shined bright and turned to an orb.

Kia: Arnos Frey! I got the soul.

Arnos looks towards with his eyes and dashes towards her to see him. Arnos as touched the orb knew that he finally found him and smiled with few tears in his eyes. 

Arnos: Lets go!

The herder was gone as they looked back and only his hat was left. Arnos picks up the cap and puts over Kia's head.

Arnos: Good work Kia! Now lets head back. 

Frey looked at him and was kind of sad because of his kind gesture towards Kia and kicked Arnos in his butt. Arnos bent down with the pain.

Arnos: Why did youuuuuuu?

Frey felt good after hitting his ass and decided to head back.

Arnos: Sorry! but can you atleast end the meeting. (in a pain)

Arnos in mind: Dang it! How is she so strong just one kick it took to shake my ass in pain.

Well i think its the soul realm so it may be the reason she is stronger.

Arnos: By the way would I be able to see you again after going to the world again. 

Frey: If you remember me with your true heart the maybe I might answer.

Arnos: WHat do you mean?

Suddenly the backdrop again changes but before it changes he notices Frey smile a bit.

Scene-Dungeon

Arnos in mind: What happened???

He opened his eyes he could see the beast behemoth protecting him. Arnos suddenly checked for the wound on his heart. It disappeared as if it was never there i picked up his Scythe and saw a glowing light fuse off. There were 3 lights on the stick glowing. He then suddenly jumped and rushed towards Kirios. He saw that his heart was back to place and was completely healed from the spot. But he knew he had take away Kirios while he can otherwise he'll be dead again in no time. Suddenly Kirios' eyes opened.

Arnos: What?(phew that scared me)

Kirios: Arnos Sama I am Kia right now.

Arnos: Kirios don't start kidding with me its no time Lilith is on rampage.

Kirios stands up brushes off the dust from the clothes. Asks Arnos to give him the bracelet given Mitsumi. He gives the bracelet to him. He silently disappear without a clue. He saw Lilith making the final move to finish the beast. Arnos saw Kirios put on the bracelets from her behind.

Lilith: What how are you still alive?!?!(in shock)

Lilith sees Arnos standing in the distance.

Lilith: You too?!? Did you trick me??(in shock)How are both you alive I saw both of you die.

The bracelets react to her mana and makes her go in a trans.

Lilith: Where am I why is it suddenly so blank out. Did I die or something?

Shizumi: Hey there Lilith! I know its a bit tough to explain but the truth about my sister's death is somewhat difficult to explain. The beasts that hunted down the village was not Arnos or Kirios. This may seem difficult to understand but try to understand me. 

Shizumi grabs her face with her gentle hands and tells the whole story fake entities of demons which took disguise of her two dear friends to sprout the hatred among her and use her hatred. She fully explains the event and ongoing illusion of Fritz and Azazel with Wakehem.

Shizumi: Still please help us protect Paradise. I know this must be hard to accept but still you gotta believe me.

Lilith: I can't understand what to do in this situation. (With tears from the past)

Scene Dungeon. 

Arnos ties Lilith in 10 layers of [Strangling Root].

Kirios: Arnos-Sama Kirios -Sama will wake up soon so I got to take my leave.

Kirios eyes closes and as he was about fall off Arnos grabbed him.

He lays down Kirios carefully and heads to the beast who was at its limit and was about to die any moment.

Behemoth: I did the best to repay your favor for removing the contract but I request one more favor from you....Please kill me and send me to heaven.

Arnos closes his eyes in pain.

Behemoth: It would be difficult to go back as beast in front of my Mitsumi and Hina.

Arnos suddenly open his eyes on sharing his words.

Arnos: They're waiting for you damn moron. They're waiting for you each day running that restaurant on their own.

Behemoth: Even though if I could do so there is no time left my soul is already in pain from the imprisonment. I only ask you one favor just kill me and tell them both that I've become a bright star in the starry night and will watch over them every day and night.

Arnos was in no condition to deny him because of the great help he did to protect their dead bodies.

Behemoth before dying gave his [ultimate skill- Elemental Immunity Lv.1] to both Kirios and Arnos.

Arnos: So lets put end to your misery.

Frey: HEyyyyy! At least say thank you to him.

Arnos in mind: Didn't knew she would change to the real self after the Heaven's meeting.

Arnos: And thanks a lot for everything.

The behemoth smiled and closed his eyes. Arnos took his scythe and with some tension in his hand he also closed his eyes and used swing of heaven. The beast's head was sliced off. Arnos bended down and prayed for his soul to rest in peace. He then stood up and went towards Kirios who was waking up.

Kirios: Uhh! (in pain)

Arnos: Wake up its been a long time.

Kirios: Am I alive?

Arnos: Yeah. I went to heaven to get your soul back.

Kirios: Whoa! You seriously went all the way to heaven just to revive me.

Arnos gives some punches which created 5 big bumps on his head.

Arnos: Don't you ever loose your guard when in dungeon you idiot. I was barely able to save you thanks to help with Kia and Frey.

Kirios: Thank You Kia Chan and Frey Chan.

Kia: You're welcome Kirios Sama.

Kirios smiled as he was back alive.

They both then head to Lilith who was tied by the roots and was still in trans. The effect of bracelet was coming of and Arnos added more roots around her to restrain her. Her eyes opened. Both were on their guards.

Arnos: So you still want to fight us?

Lilith: No. I want you to forgive me.

Kirios: Seriously!! You killed me.

Arnos: Its okay now. I think we should forgive her.

Lilith: By the way can you open the roots I feel congested in here. 

Arnos: Nope. Do you think us of a fool when you just tried to kill us.

Lilith: If that's the case then I'll tell you the what Shizumi told me when I wasn't awake.

Arnos: Sure Go on.

Lilith: ha....
