My Angel system

Roy never believed that he would one day have to look at Festus again and seeing him now was stirring up certain feelings in him.

"What do you want, Festus?" Roy asked, still being cautious. "How did you get into my castle?"

"I'm a light wizard, have you forgotten?" Festus said moving closer to him.

"What do you want?" Roy asked, still pointing his sword at the light wizard.

"As I said, Roy, I'm here to help," Festus said. "I heard your kingdom is in danger."

"How did you find out about that?" Roy asked.

Festus didn't say anything as he turned back to Jude and Carl who still had their hood covering their faces.

"Who are they?" Roy asked.

Festus didn't need to answer that question as the two young knights pulled down their hoods to reveal their faces.

,m King Roy's eyes widened on seeing the two, he never expected them to be the ones under the hoodies.

"What are you two doing with him? Have you been working with him?" Roy asked with a furious look.

"They were only working with me to make sure that your kingdom is safe," Festus said.

"You think you can stop Ashburn," Roy said, turning to Festus with a vicious look on his face.

"I never said anything about facing Ashburn," Festus said.

"Then why are you here? You know you were banished right and you are aware the punishment for the banished who refuse to leave is death." Roy said.

"Oh, Roy," Festus said. "Still threatening me when I am offering to help you."

"Your majesty, you have to listen to him, we have a plan to stop Ashburn," Jude said after walking closer to Festus.

"What plan could possibly stop Ashburn?" Roy asked, turning to face his throne.

"You know why none of the kingdoms you asked for help refused to help you?" Festus said.

Roy didn't say anything as he was wondering how Festus found out that he had asked other Kingdoms for help.

"It's because of your heart, your heart is trapped in a dark room and you never open the window for light to shine upon it.

"Greed, hatred, selfishness consumes it leading you to do unspeakable things, they know who you are Roy and they believe that you are not worth risking their soldiers for.

"Even your dear friend from Unelo refused to help you, if it were your father all these kingdoms would not hesitate to help him."

"Enough!!!" Roy quickly turned to the light wizard to shout, it seemed like those words had made him really angry. "You said you were here to help not to say nonsense to me."

"Your majesty!" A guard came running into the throne room wielding a spear.

He had stopped right in front of Jude and Carl and was now pointing his spear at both of them.

"How did you get in here?" The guard demanded.

"Father!" Diana came running into the throne room.

She ran past the three and ran straight to her father, maybe she was close by and had heard her father raise his voice.

"It's okay Diana, there's nothing wrong," Roy said looking at his teenage daughter who had a worried look on her face.

"Are you sure? And who are these people?" She asked, turning before turning to her father again.

"I'll explain everything later," Roy said.

"I said how did you get in here?" The guard said as he thrust his spear towards Jude who quickly pulled out his sword to block the spear.

'I am glad I brought you.' Jude thought.

"That's enough Durchin, I never told you to attack anyone!"

After hearing those words from the King, Durchin pulled back his spear.

"Next time ask questions before you attack," Carl muttered to him.

"You can go now Diana, I'll come see you later," Roy said.

"Okay," Diana said after staring at her father for a while.

She turned and began to make her way toward the exit and just as she got closer to Carl and Jude, she made eye contact with Carl.

"Carl?" She muttered but the young knight didn't say anything as she walked past him.

Diana left the throne room but after seeing that Carl was among the three people in her father's throne room, she just had to find out why he was here.

The only way to get her answers as her father didn't want her to be there was to eavesdrop on them and that was exactly what she was going to do.

"Now tell me how you are going to help me stop Ashburn?" Roy asked, turning his gaze to Festus.

"If I am going to do this, it is going to be under one condition," Festus said.

"What condition?" Roy asked.

After almost an hour of being unconscious, Luis began to regain his consciousness as his eyes slowly opened.

He expected to find himself still lying on the hard floor in the white room but he wasn't there as he was lying on Michael's bed.

"Awwww, my head hurts." The Angel said slowly sitting up on the bed with his hands placed on his head.

[ Quest Failed ]

'Your got ass kicked really bad.' Lena said.

"Yeah, you don't need to remind me of that," Luis said.

"Who are you talking to?" Michael said, walking into the room carrying a tray that had a plate on it.

"Nobody," Luis said abruptly.

After getting really close to Michael he wanted to tell him about his system and Lena but Lena told him not to, saying his system was something special that others shouldn't find out about.

"Okay, I just hope that kick didn't mess with your head," Michael said as he dropped the tray on the small table in the room and pulled it closer to Luis.

"What's this?" Luis asked, looking at the food.

"I am not answering that question," Michael said, crossing his arms.

"You know I no longer get hungry right?" Luis said.

"I know, you can absorb energy from living things but right now none of those things are available, and judging by the way you passed out, I know you have already lost a lot of energy," Michael said.

[ 20/120 HP ]

[ 10/100 Energy ]

Michael was very accurate by saying he had lost a lot of energy as he was down to his last ten.

'I wonder what will happen when my energy hits zero.' Luis thought.

'I don't think you want to find out.' Lena said.

"Why don't you just let me absorb your energy?" Luis asked, giving him a weird look.

"No, that's not happening, eat your food if you want to replenish your lost energy," Michael said.

"Fine," Luis said, turning to the food.

He stared at it for a while before turning back to Michael.

"You were right." The Angel said. "I didn't even stand a chance against you."

"I think I made that point clear almost an hour ago," Michael said.

"I thought I was improving, getting to a higher level but it turns out I haven't even started going anyway," Luis said.

"You are improving but the improvement that will make a very big difference is you evolving to Archangel," Michael said.

"How sure are you that I'm not going to evolve into a guardian Angel instead?" Luis asked.

"Only Archangels have elemental abilities, Luis, I thought you knew this by now," Michael said.

"Oh," Luis said. "I just wish that evolution will happen anytime soon."

"It'll happen but I don't think it will be soon," Michael said.

"Huh?" Luis said.

"Most Angels take up to twenty years to evolve and become Angels with grades," Michael said.

"Twenty years?"

"Yeah and for the lucky ones it may only take ten but ten or twenty years is really nothing in the life of an Angel," Michael said.

"I know but I don't think having my next evolution in the next ten or twenty years is going to be of any use to me," Luis said.

'I just wish this system would specify at which level my next evolution will happen.'

"Is it because of Lucifer?" Michael asked.

"Of course, it's because of him, I'm pretty sure he won't wait till the next ten or twenty years to start attacking earth," Luis said.

"You're not going to fight him alone Luis, you have the entire human race to help you," Michael said.

"I don't think it will be enough," Luis said.

Michael didn't say anything as he stared at the Angel for a while before he walked to sit beside him on the bed.

"You know if you had said this when humans didn't have abilities like they have now, I would have agreed with you," Michael said. " Before Zillah granted us abilities, even the most skilled human wouldn't be able to take down an ordinary Angel but with the introduction of our abilities things changed.

"A skilled human can take down an ordinary Angel depending on their power level, a group of humans can come together to take down a guardian or ArchAngel and a large group of humans could even take down an Angel leader if they set their mind to it."

What Michael had just explained to him made good but that didn't mean the Angel agreed with it, he was about to say something when he heard a ding sound come from his watch.

"Orah." He muttered after bringing the watch to his view and reading the message.

Getting reminded of his appointment with Orah had also reminded him of something he should have done on arriving here.

"Michael." He called.

"Yeah," Michael replied.

"I need to tell you something."

"What?" Michael asked.

Luis let out a deep sigh as he got ready to give him the shocking information.
