Chapter 2
Three days ago, Western Heaven.

Raya stood beside a fountain made of white jade, looking worriedly at the majestic palace surrounded by colorful clouds in the distance. The luxurious and solemn palace loomed in clusters of clouds.

The rainbows in the clouds are high and low, big and small, making the whole heaven look very solemn and beautiful.

The huge palace is where the gods reside, and the angels can only admire its magnificence from the outside, and feel the divine power blowing through the clouds, the sea of ​​flowers and every corner of the heaven.

Except for the archangel who can come and go freely, angels cannot enter unless they are called by God.

Raphael entered the palace with the other Archangels wearing a silver-white battle robe early in the morning.

"Is there a war with Demon Realm?" Raya looked at the palace with some concern.

She remembered the war that Raphael told her about, the war between the heavens and the demons more than 30 years ago. Although the war was tragic, there was no winner in the end, but it affected the human world and caused the entire western continent to suffer. With famine and plague.

"Why is there a war with Demon Realm?" Raya once asked Raphael.

"You're still young, you don't understand!" After Raphael replied, there was an infinite silence.

"This is an excuse, I just don't want to tell myself the reason!" Laya was very unconvinced in her heart, she knew that she was a newborn insignificant little angel, and she didn't even have a rank yet.

Raya is talented and intelligent, and loves to learn and think. When other little angels who were about the same age as Raya were still playing ignorantly, she had already started to read the collection of books in the heavens, and under the guidance of Raphael, She even has some understanding of the mysterious oriental world, and even learned the oriental language.

Now her knowledge may already be beyond the reach of some angels with qualifications and ranks.

But about the war with Demon Realm, Raphael is reluctant to mention it.

Raya only knew that the last war lasted for a long time, an archangel fell because of this, Raphael also lost his best friend, and most of the angel legion in the heavens was lost.

For some reason, the two sides suddenly ceased fighting, and they have lived in peace until now.

Raya only vaguely knows that the demon king of Demon Realm is rebellious, cruel, and will do whatever he wants, and my lord wants to destroy Demon Realm for the peace of the world.

But how and why?Even hell can coexist with heaven, why not Demon Realm?

Raya shook his head, pulled his thoughts back, and looked worriedly at the towering palace in the distance.

She knew that the war would not affect this peaceful heaven where beautiful singing could be heard from time to time, but Raphael might lead the angel legion to participate in the war.

Raphael, one of the seven archangels, is knowledgeable and gentle, and is like a teacher to Raya.

Laya likes to be with Raphael, likes to hear him tell her about the knowledge in the book, and even more likes him to tell various legendary stories in the world to herself.

Every smile of Raphael will give Raya a feeling of being bathed in the warm sunshine.

Since Raphael inadvertently mentioned to Raya a few days ago, "Maybe it won't be long before the war between the heavens and the demons will start again."

Afterwards, Raya has been in a state of worry. She still can't figure out why there is such a war, and she is even more worried that Rafael will be hurt in the war.

While thinking, the three angels walked towards Raya talking and laughing.

"Laya, why are you standing here in a daze with a sad face?" Alves asked.

Then he looked at the majestic palace in the distance following Raya's gaze, and continued with admiration: "You also saw my master and the others entered the palace early in the morning. They were actually wearing battle robes when they were summoned by the Lord this time. What happened, unfortunately, without the call of our lord, we cannot enter the palace."

Another little angel with a round face, Lucy, said enviously: "They are wearing such gorgeous battle robes, they look so good! I don't know if I can become one of the archangels in a few hundred years, and then wear Put on such a gorgeous costume." Before the words finished, it attracted the disdainful eyes of several other angels.

Raya was also amused, "Lucy, that battle robe is a symbol of defending the heavens. It's the second time I've seen Raphael wearing it since I can remember. It's not just a few hundred years. ready to wear!"

Angelo took Laia's words, "Yes, this is not something you can wear casually, but sometimes it doesn't take hundreds of years."

Then he looked at Alves and continued: "You see, although Alves is the last student accepted by Michelle, he is very talented and hardworking. Maybe he will be able to join the Angel Legion in a short time, and then It may not take a hundred years for Alves to wear that gorgeous battle robe, but I can't imagine when it will be."

Lucy looked at Alves with admiration when he heard it: "My great Alves, when you put on that gorgeous battle robe, can you lend me a look?"

Everyone was speechless.

While speaking, Raya saw Raphael and the four archangels Gabriel, Uriel, and Michel walking down the steps of the temple together, and there were several archangels that Raya could not name behind them.

Raya didn't care about talking to the three angels, and ran towards the temple on her own.

"Raphael! Raphael!"

When Raya spread her wings and ran to Raphael, Raphael just walked down the steps of the temple.

"What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?" Raphael reached out to support the shoulder of Raya who rushed over and almost lost his footing, and asked gently with a smile on his face.

Looking at Raphael's blue eyes and that sunny smile, Raya lost his mind for an instant.

"Uh"

"Raya, if you don't have anything important, come to me when I come back!" Raphael patted Raya's shoulder gently, and left with the other archangels before Raya could reply.

Raya anxiously watched Raphael's leaving back. In fact, she really wanted to ask Raphael if she was going to go to war with Demon Realm, but she knew she couldn't ask, and Raphael had his reasons for not saying anything.

What's more, she is a newborn angel with no qualifications, she doesn't need to worry about these things.

Just when Laya was at a loss and worried, and was about to turn around and walk back, her arm was suddenly grabbed.

Looking back, it was Alves who held her back.

"What are you doing?" Ray asked in surprise.

Alves smiled wickedly and asked, "Do you want to do something?"

"Me? What can I do?" Raya was at a loss when asked.

Alves ignored Raya, and said to himself: "I know that the war with Demon Realm is about to start, and I am worried about my teacher, but he won't let me participate in this war."

"Your teacher has his reasons for not allowing you to participate. The war is not unusual, not to mention that the war with Demon Realm has lasted intermittently for nearly a hundred years. Heaven Realm has been preparing for this battle for so many years. I can't imagine what it will be like." Intense. Raphael lost his best friend in the last war against Demon Realm, this time..." Raya was suddenly too worried to continue speaking.

Alves suggested: "You are worried about Raphael, and I am also worried about my teacher Michelle. You can't imagine the intensity of the war, and I can't imagine what kind of war it is. Why don't you go Let's get to know each other!"

"What did you say?" Raya looked at Alves with wide eyes in disbelief.

Alves shrugged helplessly, and said, "I said, why don't we quietly go and see what this war is like!"

"What you said seems to make sense!" Raya's eyes lit up.

Well, this is a really good idea! Since you can't ask or tell, let's follow it quietly.

Seeing Laya's happy expression, Alves smiled slightly, but he just didn't want to see Laya's worried expression, and tried his best to hope that she could smile.

"However, let's talk about it first, you have to promise me, we can't get too close to the battlefield, we can only watch from a distance, and no matter what happens, you can't be impulsive, you can't scream, you can't leave my side, you can't ..."

Before Alves finished speaking, Raya urged impatiently: "Got it! Got it! Alves, let's go!"

"..." Alves was speechless, why was he in such a hurry.

"But, where is the battlefield?" Raya suddenly thought, this is a big problem.

Alves smiled and said, "Just follow me, I can judge the direction and route of the Angel Legion!"

"Oh, that's good, let's go, let's go!" Raya said anxiously.

"..."

……

After all, Raya is just a newborn little angel. Apart from the normal blessing of God's power, she doesn't have any special abilities. Even if she spreads her wings and flies, her speed is only average.

By the time Raya followed Alves to the battlefield panting, the war had already begun.

The battlefield this time is on the eastern edge of the Heaven Realm, where there are rocky rocks and weeds overgrown in a desolate place, which is the only place to pass through to the Eastern God Realm.

The Western Celestial Realm and the Eastern Immortal Realm have always lived in peace and had no contact with each other. This place has always been barren, but unexpectedly it has become a battlefield between the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm.

Laya and Alves hid behind a pile of huge rocks far away from the battlefield. Laya wanted to go further, but Alves grabbed him and said, "I can't go any further. Wait a minute, you see how fierce the battle is, if the two of us are discovered, we will definitely die."

Raya could only retract her body, and lightly poked her head out to look at the battlefield.

The most dazzling thing on the battlefield is the silver armor of the Angel Legion, which can be distinguished at a glance.

It was the first time Raya saw the warriors of the Demon Realm. Most of them were half-orcs, and a small part of them were normal-looking demons. If they were not wearing black battle robes, they would look nothing like angels who did not spread their wings. the difference.

"It's too far away here, I can't see anything clearly!" Raya said anxiously, "Where's Raphael? Where's Michelle? Why can't I see them!"

Alves pulled Laya's leaning body back to the stone pile, and said relaxedly, "They're not here, let's go to the other side to have a look."

"En!" Laya nodded, and followed Alves to go around the hill not far behind to the other side.

Although the scene of the war could not be seen clearly, the sounds of fighting and screams continued to reach Raya's ears, which still made Raya's whole body tremble!
Alves felt Raya's trembling, turned his head and asked worriedly: "Raya, are you scared?"

Laya closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying not to imagine the screaming scene, shook her head vigorously and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

"Why don't we go back!" Alves began to regret bringing Raya to the battlefield.

Yes, she is just a newborn little angel, without any experience, and she has no ability to protect herself except profound knowledge.

Alves didn't know why, seeing Raya's worried expression at that time, he actually made such an impulsive proposal and brought Raya to the edge of this dangerous battlefield.

Is it because you want to come to the battlefield to find a reason?Or is it because he doesn't want to see Raya's worried look?But no matter what the reason, this battlefield might really not be the place for them to come.

After thinking about it, before Raya could speak, Alves said firmly, "No! We must go back!"

"No!" Raya vetoed Alves very simply, "It's so far away, we have worked so hard to get here, I won't go back until I see Raphael!"

"Laya, it's too dangerous!" Alves persuaded.

"No! Alves, please, I don't want to go back, I just need to see Raphael from a distance, I want to know that he is fine, I want to see him well!" Raya begged.

Alves sighed helplessly, he has always been unable to refuse any request from Yala.

Perhaps, it was because he saw Raya's worry about Rafael and her bewildered eyes that made him make this ridiculous move, just because he didn't want Raya to have any unhappiness.

But now Alves is extremely regretful, in fact, he has never been in any war, and imagined everything too simple, so that Raya fell into this unpredictable danger.

Seeing that Alves sighed, Raya fell into deep thought, anxiously held Alves' right arm with both hands and said, "Alves, okay, don't go back, I'm not afraid, we Don't go back, okay?"

Laya knew that if Alves took her back by force, he would have no ability to resist at all, so he could only keep praying.

"Aren't you afraid? That's fine!" Alves shook his head. He couldn't refuse Laya's request, so he could only say helplessly, "But you must remember that no matter what happens, you must stay by my side."

After finishing speaking, Alves emphasized: "You must follow me, do you understand?!"

"Got it!" Laya looked at Alves with wide eyes and nodded seriously.

"Laya, if there is any danger, I will take you away from here without hesitation." Alves said solemnly.

"No, I want to..." Raya anxiously wanted to send a message.

"The objection is invalid." Alves categorically said: "Your safety is the most important thing!" But in his heart, he was extremely regretful, what was wrong at that time, how did he bring Raya to such a dangerous place .

Then Alves said silently in his heart: "Laya, no matter what happens, I will do my best to protect you."

Rounding the hill, they climbed through the weeds to the other side of the battlefield.

At this time, Raya saw a red-eyed half-orc, holding an angel's head in one hand and a machete in the other, rushing past him not far away.

Looking at the bloody head of the same race, although his face was covered with blood, Raya could clearly see that his eyes were still open.

On the other side, an angel spread his wings and chopped a half-orc into a corpse with a long sword in his hand. In the next second, everyone in the Demon Realm fell down and chopped off his blood-stained wings...

Obviously, they came to the edge of the battlefield.

Unlimited fear and indescribable sadness suddenly arose spontaneously. Laya lay in the grass and did not dare to move, but she was even more worried about Rafael in her heart.

Raya looked around, and suddenly saw a silver light glowing in a remote place in the distance.

That must be Raphael and the others, and Raya was overjoyed, because only the archangel would emit such light when he spread his wings.

"That place is a bit far away, I can't even see them clearly. Is Raphael fighting with someone? What is the black air?" Laya thought to herself, and slowly crawled in that direction. past.

"Laya, stop with me!" Alves roared in a low voice.

At this moment, Alves really wanted to hold Raya on his shoulders, spread his wings and fly back to the safe and peaceful heaven.

But such a big movement was probably discovered before it even took off, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

He could only quickly catch up to Laya and hold her, "Don't crawl around!"

"But I can't see clearly, go a little bit further, just a little bit. You see that the grass is so tall and dense, we will not be found, don't worry, don't worry." Laya whispered, while Breaking free from Alves' hand, he crawled over there again.

Alves had no choice but to crawl closely beside Raya, until he reached the edge of the grass.

Then he grabbed Laya's arm and said solemnly: "You can only go here, no matter what, you are not allowed to move forward, you must hide in the grass, and you are not allowed to make any noise."

Raya nodded as a response to Alves, and only looked at Raphael.

The cloud of black air that fought with Raphael turned out to be a man in black. He moved quickly, waving a long knife in the air, and his black clothes moved accordingly, exuding an extremely cold aura around him.

who is he?

Could it be that he is the legendary king of the Demon Realm? He was able to fight Raphael evenly.

Yara looked at Alves with doubts, and saw that Alves' eyes stayed on another fight not far from Raphael.

It was Michel, Alves' teacher, who was fighting with two other people from the Demon Realm.

One against two, that's not fair!
Raya thought secretly.

Seeing that Michelle seemed to be losing the wind gradually, but there were no extra people around him to help him.

Seeing that Raphael is concentrating on fighting against the devil, it seems that he is starting to struggle.

What to do about this, Raya was anxious and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, one of the people who was fighting with Michelle hit Michelle on the right shoulder, and Michelle grunted and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang-dang" sound.

Raphael turned his head distractedly after hearing the voice, and saw the demon king raised his left hand to strike at Raphael taking advantage of the situation.

"Raphael!" Raya screamed without thinking, spread her wings and flew towards Raphael with all her strength.

Hearing the sound, the demon king turned his head to look at the angel who jumped out of the weeds, and swung his palm towards Laya.

"Laya!" Raphael and Alves shouted at the same time.

However, Laya only felt an overwhelming force pressing into her body in an instant, which was completely unbearable.

Before he had time to think about anything, Raya lost consciousness as soon as his eyes went dark, and his body fell into the distance like a leaf.
