A/N :

Hey guys, yes, it's another chapter, decided to write more since I had some free time.

Anyway, QnA time !

time king zi-o : As stated in lore, the battle happened before canon, and we can confirm this with the fact that before she joined RI, Skadi was a mercenary with a pretty big reputation, and Laurentina was taken back to Rhodes Island by Kalt'sit, not Babel, so it means the battle happened before those three years in wich Theresa was dead and the Doctor was in a the Sarcophgus. Also, the Abyssal Hunter and Ursus will be the focus of this arc, in which the first part is done.
We will see more of them, so don't worry too much ! (Thanks for your kind words, it was just a passing sickness, nothing big, just annoying.)

The Deserter Angel : The relationship between Mostima, Fiammeta and Dante is 'More than friends, less than lovers'. I already know exactly how that 'night' happened, I'm just trolling you guys by not explecitly telling you about it lol.
That aside, the night has meaning, but it won't have much right now, they have bigger things to worry about !

Well then, without further ado, let's do this !


We came back in Laterano at dawn.

The walk back was pretty silent, but once the city was in sight I fought back the tense atomosphere and said what was on my mind.

"... I'm resigning from the Pontifica Cohors."

... Well, their reaction is pretty telling.

"Well, without Andoain and you, this team is just empty, I'll resign too, I guess."

"Don't speak his name, that-"

"Your going on a tangent, Fia."

"Urgh, yeah, if you two leave I'm following you."

"And you, Lemuen, what do you want to do ?"

"... I think... I'll resign, but I'll stay with my sister. She can't stay alone, you know ?"

"I see... Well, we'll visit, don't worry about that !"

"Thanks, I sure hope you guys do so, Lemuel would be sad if her classmates just decided to leave one day and never say a word again."

"Would be terrible, yeah."

... Oh the Irony. I can almost taste it.

"So, after resigning, what next ?"

"... I'm going to Lungmen, there are people I need to see there. I made a promise, and I think it's time I act on it."

"A promise, you ?"

"Yeah, that doesn't seem like something you do."

"Well, I have done things other than train and fight in my life, you know ?"

"Yeah, right. Those guys you want to meet, you defenetly met them during your mission in Lungmen, right ?"

"And ?"

"The same one that nearly ended in war ?"

"... I see what your insuniating, and no, it wasn't my fault."

"As if, if there is one thing that is consistent with you is that you always bring trouble no matter where you go."

"Yep, that we can all agree."

"Urgh, you girls..."

"Ahahahaha !" x3

Urgh, of course, laugh it off you three...


"So, what happened for you guys to come back this soon ..? Where is Andoain ?"

"*mumble* ... Six feet under if I had any say in it..."

"Fia."

"Urgh, yes, yes, I know..."

"I'm resigning, for personal reason."

"What."

"Same here !"

"what."

"... Stop looking at me like that, I'm resiging too."

"uhhhh, I don't know if I'm qualified enough for this ..!"

"Hey."

"Mostima ?! Y-you fell ?"

"Yep, resigning too and all that."

"How am I supossed to explain that to the bishops ..?!"

"You'll find a way, I'm sure. Welp, good luck dude !"

"W-wait, what are you four doing ?"

"Getting our stuff back, duh ?"

"O-oh. Go a-ahead then."


After taking our stuff and resigning, the feeling of freedom I got from that is the best.

The five years I was in this place were some of the weirdest years of both of my lives.

Neither good, nor bad. The corruption in this world is so big you can't even say that a little bit of nepotism is bad.

I mean, think about it for a second, the people who knows the world can end at any time are fighting each other because of dumb reason, instead of allying with each other because they think they are superior.

They always try to erase the Sarkaz when they are some of the worlds best warriors and would possibly allow us a way to fight againts, you know : the sea terrors, the demons in the north AND Sargon, the thing I'll call 'Mechanical God' aka the Law, the three cults I know of that worship deity who'se purpose is the destruction of the world, the remnants of the Witch King, which, while not able to destroy the world can destroy a contry by itself.

Yeah, it's dumb.

We could just... At least get along for a while to kills those dudes and THEN attack each others.

But oh well, I'm only human after all. Or, well, a Sankta.

...

Yeah, I'm back in a monloging mood.

The travel towards Lungmen takes a while.

I'm thinking about what to do with the Sarkaz.

Saving Theresa is a good idea, she can by herself be the pillar that would take the Sarkaz to a brighter future.

But doing that means going againts every single other country in the world.

To do that... I'll have to kill Theresis.

There is no other way, and there is no path where Theresis and Theresa can co-exist.

They seems to be the complete opposit of one and other, how they are siblings is beyond me.

Theresis' and Theresa's purpose is the exact same, yet the conclusion they came to is antithetical.

The purpose being the survival of the Sarkaz.

... For some, the Sarkaz are a thorn in their side, an overpowered race that can overcome all adversities, adapt to any situation, and can use arts without being infected easily.

They are, without a doubt, one of, if not the strongest base race. Yeah, by base I don't count some of the Ancestor race. 'cause I would need to talk about the Sarkaz ancestor race and, oh boy are they stupid.

By stupid I mean completly overpowered.

Considering that the current have the racial ability to see the future, use voice arts (T/L : voice art is basicly Curse speach from Jujutsu Kaisen, altough they don't have the demerit of it being always active and it hurting them, it's just Curse speach without demerit.) create golems with soils in minutes that takes dozen of people to take down, ect ect...

So, they are really fricking strong, and so the other country doesn't want them to be united.

Because the last leader that did that, the last 'Lord of Fiends' waged war againts the world.

And nearly won.

If I remeber correctly, our favorite ex-wife did something to stop it.

Yes, she is old as hell.

...

Anyway, to help the Sarkaz, I would need a foot in the Sarkaz court, wich isn't really possible with me being a Sankta, Fallen or not.

But, I have an idea.

There IS a way.

And that is, to help Shining in her escape from the Confessarius.

What do I mean by that ?

Alright then, spoilers inbound.

Shining is Confessarius sister.

And Descedent.

...

Weird, right ?

Well, it's about to be wierder and creepier.

Confessarrius is like the Deathless Snake in a lot of ways.

One of them is that he is a body hopper.

He comes and go in bodies like it's a black friday.

There is a problem tho !

He can only enter a body who he is the descendant to.

But, his blood needs to be really pure for that.

So he does the sensible - read, extremely creepy, disgusting, and that should never be done- he makes a daughter and son, and hop in the son body and rapes the daughter as the son.

No, I'm not kidding.

Yes, it's disgusting.

So yeah, Shining has zero desire of being another one victim of that type of things so she bailed.

... Well, it was one of the reason. The other being Liz.

Liz is Nightingale, who is probably one of the best healer in the world.

Her healing art is apperently something even Confesarrius wanted considering she was with the Confessor.

As a slave, of course. Can't have a random actually IN the Confesor, right ?

Shining took Liz the hell out of there with her when she fled.

You can imagine the kind of reaction Confessarius had.

So, if I save Shining life there, (even if she somehow managed to escape with Liz in the actual timeline) I would have a Sarkaz with a high position in the Sarkaz Court in life debt.

That should allow me to move in the politcal world of the Sarkaz.

The plan B being, 'screw the rules, I'm kicking your ass anyway'.

"-nte, Dante ?"

"Uh, yeah ?"

"You're mumbling again. What has got you THIS worked up ?"

"... I'm thinking of the future."

"The future, huh. Can't imagine."

"what."

"I can't imagine what the future will be like."

"... Why ?"

"Well, you see, my dream was seing the world with my own eyes."

"It's not like you never spoke about it, you know ? You're speaking as if that changed. Somewhat."

"That's because it, as you put it, somwhat changed."

"..."

"Yeah, surprised ?"

"... I am, you spoke about it like it's something you would do, no matter what."

"It still something I want to do, but now, after seeing so much with both you and Fia, I found myself in a weird spot."

"... You want to see it, but you found out doing it alone would be retarded."

"Pfft- Ahahaha ! Yeah, that's exactly it ! Althought I would've put it in better words !"

"Heh, I'm not someone who likes to put things in 'proper wording', so to speak."

"And yet your vocabulary is greater than Andoain, knowing words that you would never speak in a normal conversation, ever."

"I don't like people thinking I'm dumb, so when they use those 'big words' to confuse me I like verbally smacking them around."

"When did that ever happened ? I don't remeber any time where that was needed."

"Well, it's fine if you don't know."

"I see... Well, what I want know is just to see the world with the few friends I made and enjoy all the views in the world."

"Then you can imagine your future."

"Nope. I don't know anything else but that, not how to do it, or where to go, or how to convince you two to go into places no person ever went to for kicks and giggle."

"..."

"And that scares me. Because, I want to visit the world, but I can't do it alone. But how do I ask the only two people I really care about to follow me ?"

"... What about Lemuel and Lemuen ?"

"Lemuen is a good friend, but Lemuel is..."

"It's obession at this point."

"Yeah. She admire me since we were little. I don't even know why."

"Because she loves you ?"

"Puppy love, you mean ?"

"The same type as the one where you love your parent ?"

"Yep."

"I can see it."

"Maybe, huh."

"So you were scared to ask me, huh ?"

"... Yeah."

"You shouldn't be. Seeing this world is one of my greatest desire."

"Seriously ?!"

"Well, yeah. We had the same kind of life, you know ? In those white walls that are more akin to a giant white cage than anything. I had it worse, too, being a Fallen from birth and all that. For a long time I really wanted to just leave and never come back. I had no one that I considered a friend there, or a family left, nothing to hold me back. But I stayed because that was what was asked of me. What was expected of me."

"... So this is just a opportunity ?"

"In a way. I always knew it was going to happen. I know Andoain really well after all, he is one twisted, self rightous asshole."

"Huh. Always thought you wanted to stay because you liked it there."

"No. I hated it there. Every single second of it. The only one I'm scared for is Fia."

"Why ?"

"She's not like us. She enjoyed here time there, she left because she wants to protect us, probably."

"Protect us ? Her, proctecting you ?"

"Yeah, I know."

"She finds herself this responsible for all of this ?"

"She couldn't get in time to stop him, so she feels guilty. It's something somtime called 'Survivors guilt', I think ?"

"... I see."

"Well, if you really want to know, I'm someone with a lot of knowledge that I shouldn't have, right ?"

"Yeah, Fia, Lemuen and I noticed that."

"Well, something I want to stop is going to happen, but it's not something I can just go and stop it with a snap of my fingers. My goal is a little bit presumptuous and all that."

"Presumptuous, why ?"

"... Don't laugh."

"... I promise I won't laugh."

... If that over serious face of yours wasn't there, I would be incliend to trust you, but I'm almost sure you're going to laugh...

.

.

"I want for all race to live in peace."

.

.

"Pfft- Ahahahah ! Seriously ? That's your dream ?!"

"Yeah, childish, I know."

"No, no, it's great ! I'm just seriously surprised to hear it from you !"

"What, because I'm an asshole ?"

"No, because your the last person I would think as someone who wants to save the world ! You alwaysed seemed like the type of person to just do enough to live in the world and let the world just do it's thing !"

"Well, I would like the world to still be standing for as long as I'm alive and all that shit."

"And for that, 'World Peace' ?"

"Yep, since there is no way that everyone calms down if world peace isn't achieved."

"Heheheh, You're really silly, you know that ?"

"Silly how ?"

"Nothing. So, you want for everyone to just get along ? Sure, I'll help you."

"Hold up, you want to help me ?"

"Yep, I'll see where it leads us, I want see it."

"See what ?"

"The world you want to create. And if I want to be a part of it."

"..."

"Well, I think it's time to call it a night. Fia is sleeping so soundly~."

"Heh, riiiight."

"We will talk about it tomorow while on the road, right ? All three of us this time tho."

"Sure, sure... Good night, Mosti."

"Heh, Good night, Dante."

"... Good night, Fia."

"*mumble* stupid... Good night Dante."

"Heh."

"*still mumbling* shut up Mostima."

"Good night ~"

Good night indeed... I have a to sort in my head.
