Chapter 1258: The Black Heart and Angelic Halo

The Black Heart of a devil not only represents its number of lives for the vessel and determines the number of times it could die but it is also the source of their power. With each Black Heart destroyed from a devil, their power decreases by a significant amount. The fact that Beelzebub sacrificed one for Ark means that he wants to help them sincerely.

Adrian wanted to ask something to the Fallen about Ark being the prophesized king or something but that would be for later. The only thing that he needs to be concerned about is Ark hatching from his egg. Adrian grabbed the Black Heart and hovered it in front of the Nephilim Egg.

”Since the devil actually offered something of his body, I think we should do the same, but I will be the one to sacrifice.” Rikbiel stated.

Pahaliah wanted to stop Rikbiel, but the latter has already made up his mind. Rikbiel knew that he is the perfect candidate for this because his time is already running out. Unlike the other fallen that are sealed, Rikbiel is close to dying as his wound from the war back then never healed.

”No! There must be another way.” Gomory stated as she seems to be very close with Rikbiel.

”There are other ways child but the ending for me would be the same either way. I will still die even if we both share our light energy to the Nephilim Child. I believe this must be my fate as even a devil wanted to offer his heart to the chosen one.” Rikbiel stated as he has steeled his resolve.

Gomory no longer told Rikbiel to stop because she knows that would be hurting his wishes. She also knows that Rikbiel will not truly die but he will also not be this version of him once he revives. Rikbiel will become like Gomory as she knows that a Fallen that dies create a dungeon for a player to conquer.

From what Gomory got from Pahaliah and Rikbiel, the Fallen that she has combined with was called Metatron. She was one of the most powerful of the Fallen but she was in a worst condition compared to Rikbiel. She could no longer maintain her body which is why she decided to find a suitable vessel to become her host.

Gomory was that host as she was the one that accidentally found the hidden dungeon called the Trials of Metatron. She was able to narrowly conquer the dungeon and fused with the dungeon core which was Metatronʼs soul. Due to her fusion with Metatron, she was the first player that has become a Fallen.

She also knows that the other Fallen will likely suffer the same fate as they will not return to the cycle of reincarnation easily because they are made from parts of gods. It is also one of the reasons why the Fallen could be described as one of the most powerful races in Pandemonium because there can only be so much of them.

”Do not worry, my family. Although, I do not know when we will meet again but I do know that I will not be the same as before. Should my new vessel be haughty and rash, I believe that all of you will make sure to straighten them up.” Rikbiel stated as he already started to separate one of his Angelic Halo.

The Angelic Halo is the equivalent of the Black Heart for the Fallen or Angel race. Since the Angelic Halo was the symbol of an angel, the devils do not want to be remembered as such. Which is why the beautiful shining halo that could be seen by everyone was turned into Black Hearts that no one could ever see.

”I, Rikbiel, offer my Angelic Halo to the future king of the Angels and Devils.” Rikbiel stated with such a warm tone as he placed his halo on top of the Nephilim Egg.

Just as he was doing this, parts of Rikbielʼs body could be seen turning to dust. Pahaliah and Gomory looked at him with smiles as his whole body deteriorated into nothingness. The only thing remaining of Rikbielʼs body is a ball of pure light that shined with such luminance.

The orb of light is Rikbielʼs soul which is condensed into pure light energy. It is such a pure soul that one can feel the warmth of a family member from it. The fact that a ball of light can make anyone feel this type of warmth is such a heartwarming feeling.

The orb of light then shot towards the sky like a shooting star and vanished somewhere. Only a lucky individual or a fated one can find the bright and warm soul of a Fallen in the depths of darkness. Pahaliah and Gomory looked at the vanishing light orb before looking back at the Nephilim Egg.

”Let us start now that Rikbiel has given us his last gift.” Pahaliah stated as he used his light energy to activate Rikbielʼs Angelic Halo.

Adrian activated the Black Heart as well by suddenly clenching it with his hands as black blood oozed out of it. The light that the Angelic Halo gave out is absorbed by the Nephilim Egg while the black blood that the Black Heart bled out is absorbed in the shell. The Nephilim Egg that was like a still rock suddenly started to beat like a heart.

The beating of the Nephilim Egg became so loud that the bodies of everyone there resonated with it. They could feel the Nephilim Egg beat with their full body as if their own natural rhythm is following the flow. As this was happening, the outside world is thrown into chaos as both light and darkness started to freely swirl into the world.

As if the light and darkness elements are celebrating that their king is about to be born, the day and night cycle suddenly became haywire. Night became like day and day became like night which alerted all the powers of the world because they thought that a dark god was descending once again.

People wanted to know what was happening and travelled to the north for the Great Star Gazer, but she was still in a coma.

The people of the world did not know that the King of Light and Darkness was going to be born in such a momentous day. The elemental kings of light and darkness could actually feel it in their guts that another king that can challenge their control over light and darkness is about to be born.

Inside the secret dimension, the Nephilim Egg started to go crazy as it started absorbing the angel light and the black blood like crazy. Adrian had to squeeze harder and harder until the Black Heart became flat as a pancake. Still, it did not stop the Nephilim Egg from getting enough as it even absorbed the flattened black heart.

It did the same to the Angelic Halo as it absorbed it until nothing was left. Even Pahaliah felt that some of his light energy was absorbed in the process because he did not stop in time. When the Black Heart and the Angelic Halo was absorbed, the Nephilim Heart stopped from beating.

The Nephilim Egg then started to float in the air as the angel and devil wings started to slowly peel away as it showed the one inside. Ark could be seen curled up inside the Nephilim Egg as if he is sleeping. The light and darkness energy that he absorbed then went wild in the area as it created powerful waves of energy that could damage those around them.

The waves of light and darkness energy are actually so powerful that Pahaliah could not protect all of them. Even Adrian could not block the waves of energy being launched at them. They could heal up their wounds thanks to Saena but that is not the permanent solution. The light and darkness energies inside Ark is running wild and he cannot control it.

”Champion Equinox and Gomory, we must calm him down even if we harm him a little. If he continues, then this dimension might get destroyed and we will be visible to the gods above. The Goddess of Light Luminaria will never let Ark be reborn if this is to happen.” Pahaliah stated in panic as the dimension is being ripped apart by the chaotic swirl of energy.

Adrian agrees with this as this pocket dimension is already unstable in the first place. The only ones maintaining this pocket dimension would be the sleeping Fallen and Lilith, but she was asleep as well. As the three is about to do something, Ark started to unfurl all of his wings and the energy started to go nuclear.

”Hurry and stop him!” Gomory stated as she could see the dimension waving.

Just as they were about to move, a beautiful young teen suddenly appeared before them and clapped. With just a clap, the raging light and darkness energy suddenly calmed down.
