Another dream…
Zeke blinked, and found himself in a white world this time there were only 3... people?
The only one that can be classified as a human was a black haired girl dressed as a chinese priestess.
She was blocking the way to a man that looked like a fusion between a white haired man and a magma golem that was a lot taller than her.
At the back of the girl, there was a creepy figure that looked like a black skeleton wearing a metallic suit, leaving the chest, throat and face uncovered. He was also stunned, like those moments in Mortal Kombat where you need to use a fatality.
The girl extended her hands in front of the rocky man and said in panic. "If you kill him, all the Mantra will be lost!"
It was quite obvious, but this was the final boss battle in Asura's Wrath.
"Without Mantra, you cannot survive!"
Asura calmed down, and gave out the only smile anyone has ever seen in the game.
"But…" He kicked the ground, and passed right beside his daughter. "You will still live!"
A couple of moments later, she realized what was happening and turned around, on verge of crying. "Father!"
But Asura ignored his daughter's cry and reared back his fist, charging it with all the rage he accumulated since the beginning, and struck the skeleton's face.
Zeke watched how much energy came out from that punch, creating a hole on the creator, Chakravartin.
Everything flashed white, and then black… In another blink, Zeke was looking at a weird sight.
The room where he was placed was extremely dark, but being not only a Demigod, but also a Demon, he was seeing everything clearly.
That, and there was some light coming out from his chest. Looking down, he saw many beams of light piercing his body. Since his anatomy was completely different than that of a human or normal demon, he didn't have 7 hearts like the other demons.
Even if his Mantra Reactor was damaged, it can repair itself as long as there is enough time, and it isn't too damaged.
However, those beams of light were weakening his body, a lot. And since they are 100% spells and not weapons, they can bypass his Sun Authority.
His body was hanging upside down from a rather strong chain, with beams of light piercing between the gaps of those chains, inside a dungeon-like area.
Zeke didn't understand what was happening at the beginning, before some gears clicked on his brain. He frowned, before his face shifted towards a pissed off expression.
"You… BASTARD!" Zeke struggled in those chains, but he couldn't break them. He could just swing around for a bit.
That bastard had the balls to trap him here! He said Ilias ordered it?! Fuck her!
"AAARGHH!" Zeke kept struggling, but nothing much happened. Soon, a flash of light lightened up the dark room, and an angelic figure appeared in front of him.
A voluptuous woman with two pairs of golden wings and a golden halo on her head appeared. A long toga covered her body, and blue long hair trailed down from her head.
She smirked when she saw Zeke struggling, and said. "So the little sinner here is awake, heh."
Zeke gritted his teeth and yelled. "Free me!"
"Nope." The angel jokingly replied, making Zeke even angrier. He definitely didn't like this situation for a single moment…
"Then I'll free myself!" Zeke took a deep breath and tapped on his demonic powers… But nothing happened, much to his surprise. "What the fuck?!"
The angel laughed and said. "You think I am so stupid to let you stay here at your full power? No way! Weakening you isn't the only thing my magic is able to do, it can also stop the influx of dark energy, so you won't be able to go all out."
Zeke glanced at his side and willed his system to come out, and his Profile appeared…

Each of his stats except for Mantra decreased at a different rate, but the problem is that they decreased too much. He can't even use Evil Soul.
Zeke glared daggers at the angel, who giggled at that gaze. "Don't look at me like that, you'll make me wet. It is a shame that such a cute boy needs to be killed, I would have definitely taken the chance to get you for me…"
A magic circle appeared in front of her, and started to glow with light. "You should have followed Ilias like everyone else, sinner. Light Shot!" A magical attack shot out from the circle, and pierced Zeke's chest.
"FUCK!" Zeke shouted in pain, the light was burning through his skin, which made his regeneration useless.
"Hahaha, it's useless screaming! No one will come down here!" She snapped her fingers, and bigger magic circles appeared at her sides, before shooting beams of light that pierced through his body.
From Zeke's mouth, ichor-like blood flowed out like a small waterfall, expanding the puddle of blood that was already under his head.
A grin reached the angel's face, as she flickered her hand, making Angel Halo appear out of nowhere. Then she slashed vertically, freeing Zeke from the chains.
His body fell in the ground, splashing the blood around.
As he got up with a surprised look on his face, the angel said. "C'mon, it would be boring killing you just like that. Let's see… If you win, you will be free. What do you think about this?"
Zeke didn't say anything and just ran towards her, bringing up his fists. However, the angel didn't do anything to dodge and just let Zeke hit her. Shockingly, Zeke passed through her. He stumbled down and fell in the ground.
"Hahahaha! What an idiot!" As the angel kept laughing at Zeke, he got enraged while getting up. If he had Angel Halo, he could harm her… But now it was impossible to win.
"Fucking bitch…"
"Yeah! Call me bitch! It will be this bitch that will turn you into a corpse!" She kicked Zeke's side, causing him to spit blood in the ground. That kick hurt him a lot, how strong was she?
"For your information, the angel that killed you is Hermes." She stomped Zeke's head, pushing it in the ground. Zeke looked as if he was kowtowing to the angel, which only added salt to the injury.
*Mmmmmmmm…*
There was the sound of some sort of generator working at high speed, almost the same sound that comes from a computer when you turn it on. Hermes raised an eyebrow and looked around. "Huh… Where did that sound come from?"
A red aura slowly covered Zeke, unnoticed from Hermes…
Meanwhile, outside the cathedral, there was a blur that passed through many soldiers and heroes, taking them down like dominos as soon as the blur got near them.
In less than a minute, 10 soldiers and more than 50 heroes got defeated from that blur, who stopped in front of the cathedral's doors. Wielding a giant sword, the green dragonkin kicked down the doors and stepped in the cathedral of San Ilia.
"If Lord Alice was correct, that guy should be here…"
Before coming here, Granberia found Alice and, covered with a cloak to disguise herself, she asked about Zeke's location.
It was a bit weird that Alice didn't say anything about not "raid" this place, but the reason might be because Alice didn't care about San Ilia at all, which she herself shared the feeling.
When she told Alice that the reason she came here was to cross blades with Zeke, Alice just told her that he was in the castle speaking with the king of the city.
Of course, she didn't care at all where Zeke is, as long as she is able to confirm that he was strong as Tamamo said that he was… He also stopped Alma Elma from doing anything, which is incredible from someone who couldn't even scratch her with his best attack back in Iliasburg.
"Well, let's find this guy…"
As soon as she made a second step in the cathedral, an earthquake shook the ground, surprising her a bit.
