“I SAW IT myself four days ago. The heavenly doors opened and the ambiance in the Heavenly World at that time was joyous,” said Merlin. Maleficent tasked him to follow Gabriel back into the latter’s world. The moment when Gabriel walked towards Maleficent at the arena, it was also the moment that a butterfly from her shadow slipped into Gabriel’s shadow. Through the single butterfly that she planted, a hole would be available for her to create portals and send her butterflies when needed be.Levi touched his chin as if he was contemplating things that Merlin had said. Nodding his head, he spoke. “I have read scriptures from the Count’s study. The opening of heaven’s doors meant only one thing; a new angel has joined the ranks of the guardian angels.”“That new angel might be the instigator of this entire ruckus.” M

FLASHBACK “Gukasho, uhm, can I ask my father about my m-mother?” Maleficent, who was walking in the corridors with Gukasho, asked out of the blue. Though her face was facing forward, she was observing Gukasho through her peripheral vision. It was her second day away from Transylvania Academy. Ever since she killed Angelo the Faithful ‘accidentally’ that night, her father took her from the academy to let things settle through time. According to her ever-competent father, things would be alright. Of course, she did not believe it. Killing an angel, an offspring of a guardian angel which was equivalent to a demon lord ranking, was not an easy matter. Maleficent bit her tongue to stop herself from cursing her dumb self at that time. She was sleepy and out of her wit's end when the first thing she saw was her balcony destroyed for some petty grievances between the Halflings and an angel, shit just went real. And now she was here, to the ho

The tranquility offered by the Heavenly World was long gone, tarnished by the depravity brought by the Basilisk and the army of the undead. The atmosphere around the field was flipped into one hundred eighty degrees the moment Maleficent lost all her reservations. With her father chained and gagged in front of her, she knew that there would be no way that she would put up with that – even with the cost of her life. By drawing Merlin’s necromancy and Levi’s Basilisk, she knew that she had lost her trump cards against Damon. But screw it all, she could devise another plan for the battle that was yet to come. The Basilisk was a deadly beast sealed in the pits of the Nether World. According to the archaic history of the Ambivalent World, the council of the first Trilateral Court used their lives to seal the Basilisk. But Levi was the only Halfling who was able to summon the Basilisk as a familiar. Because of this, the Trilateral Court had a hard time bringing down the no

      “That? That w-woman is my mother?” With widened eyes, shivers wracked her body as if a bucket of cold water splashed her rigid standing form. The glowing embers of green specks littering her piercing gaze died down, replaced by a pair of darkened onyx gems. With shaking finger, Cent pointed at the trembling woman behind her father.Grand Duke Beelzebub was not in daze anymore. His glowing emerald eyes were clearer more than ever and Cent hated to admit that it was because of the smiling wench behind her father. And to think she was her mother? What the heck was happening in the world?Maleficent was on the verge of uprooting every single hair in her hair – using a puller. Her frustration triggered her eyes to blur due to excessive tears of dismay, what she would do just to strangle the woman hiding behind her topless and disheveled-looking father.“No way! No fucking way!” Shaking her head vehemently, her gaze a

Levi witnessed firsthand how his benefactor respected the grand duke of the Nether World. Somehow, he knew that Maleficent, her benefactor, was doing all those sorts of planning for her father. It was safe to say that Maleficent would do anything for Grand Duke Beelzebub the Glutton. But he did not expect that it would be on this extent in which she was willing to frame herself to save her father’s foolishness.Yes. Foolishness. There was nothing best that could describe the grand duke of the Nether World but a fool. His action led to this point, with him and Merlin, squirming beneath the cluster of shadows as they watched Maleficent being bound by the headmaster himself. The crawling coldness was not because of the slithering shadows around his body but because all he could do was muffle his cries and screams even when the person he promised to serve and protect was being taken for a crime she did not do.With the way how Maleficent spewed her words, she was cla
