Book of Mirrors I: The Celestials のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

New York, USA (July 2019) Veronica looked at the Alpha, who nodded at his men behind him. Some of the faces were hesitant, which was no surprise to Veronica. The New York werewolf clan hadn't been part of so many battles since Stefano took over. It was essentially their comeback. So despite the obvious fear, there was also the determination to prove that they were still a proud clan. Now it was her turn, A slinking feeling enveloped the atmosphere as Veronica's incubi join the ranks. It was rocky calling out to them, just as it had always been since she deflected from Hell, but they always came to her in the end. "Remember, defend only from the angels and attack the demons as hard as you can." Haneul reminded them. Veronica smiled mockingly, "Sure, but remind me which is which, again?" Haneul gave Veronica a look, but it was mild. A chill ran through her. She didn't want to find the word for it since she felt like it would solidify what was happening. But there was no denying

New York, USA (July 2019) The lust demons that didn't respond to her calling turned the tables on them. The fighting got renewed and now the angels and werewolves were losing. But Veronica could not turn back, not when Geronimo was right in front of her. The bastard looked the same as he did the last she saw him, albeit with a smug grin on his face. "You're looking well, V." he greeted unaffectedly as the incubi he brought to the battle continued to spread out. Veronica cringed at how he called her, remembering LJ. "I see you decided to be Asmodeus' lap dog since I left," she commented. Geronimo let out a low growl, as she predicted, "You didn't leave, Veronica. You got captured. There's a difference. Did you really think that just by playing house with them, the angels would consider you one of them? You must be getting deluded in your old age." "I'm not expecting anything from the angels, Geronimo. I have my own reasons for assisting them and I assure you, it was purely fo

New York (July 2019) Minho saw Monique grab Tina from a distance, and cursed as the Mirrors disappear to God-knows-where. Damn Haneul. He promised to give Minho a warning before he released Addai and Tina from the necklace. Minho could have rushed over to them, then, and made sure she was okay. Instead, he could only hope that whatever instruction Addai had given Tina was enough for her to beat the Princess of Envy. Speaking of Haneul's twin flame, Minho looked up. The sky had parted earlier when Addai ascended, which surprised Minho. When angelic souls were trapped, they usually have the capacity to form vessels right on the spot. But Addai didn't. Worse, Minho sensed something strange from the mysterious man's energy signature. As if she had heard his thoughts, Amara's voice said beside him, "Minho? Did somebody just ascend? A human--no, an angel? What was that?" "Amara, you startled me," Minho said, but he didn't seem startled at all. He just wanted to say something to avoid t

New York (July 2019) "The last of them have retreated. The field is clear and the wards are down, now too. W" A man entered the room silently, Alice barely noticed. He looked worse for wear, but there was a small smile on his face. "You're Stefano, right? The head of the New York werewolf clan. I can't thank you enough for helping us." Alice said, pausing in her efforts to examine Veronica's unconscious form. Stefano inclined his head, "I did it for my people. I have no interest in your battles. But if I might say, it seems like you have very little concern for your comrades. Leading them into battle like that to save your own skin. Don't you think that was too much?" Alice opened her mouth to answer, but no sound came out. He was right, of course. She was scared. When she regained Liv and the others, she became so desperate for escape. But to be fair, she didn't expect Asmodeus to arrive and make a mess of things. "Haneul and the others. What of them?" Alice could only ask.

New York (July 2019) Haneul knew angels weren't supposed to mourn, as they were beings that knew full well how the universe worked. For them, it wasn't a permanent goodbye as the departed soul merely merges with the Macroverse, to be awakened again when the Court of Angels deemed it so after a thousand years or so. And even if Haneul, who was once dubbed by LJ as 'the most angelic of all angels', did mourn, it wouldn't be for her. Mikazuki. Everyone around her had been suspicious of her activities as a messenger angel who had questionable ties with the demonworld before she joined their squad in the Mirror division. But at the news of her death, Haneul couldn't help but feel grief. Amara was right, after all. His actions led to her demise. "Monique. That horrible, envious bitch. She captured her when we raided Poseidon's lair to save Javi. I thought she'd be safe, Monique and her seemed to have some sort of understanding. I thought I'd have time to arrange something with Monique, t
