Words of Heaven

"Who is that?" Ryan asked.

"You've never acquired Daisy's respect which is why you've never seen anyone beyond Vesta. Only those who ears Lady Daisy's love will see Agents beyond Golden Rock. The only System Wielder to ever earn her love is Claudio. Ryan, we had a deal, we stay out your way as long as you stayed out of ours! You killed Levina so now you must feel the Wrath of a Nexus Angel!" Rapunzel bellowed.

I grunted a bit as Rapunzel's aura surged powerfully. I began to slide backwards and looked at Rapunzel. "Her energy..!"

Rapunzel manifested her wings then spread them and bellowed as she propelled herself toward Ryan. She flew past Ryan and went for the attack at Suxen. He caught her first and placed his other hand in his pocket.

"A heartfelt speech about your dear friend Levina. However, we don't care...and it wasn't us that killed her. Your own allies did..." Suxen said and chuckled darkly.

Rapunzel grunted and tried to overpower Suxen but couldn't. "You...got her killed!"

Suxen looked at Rapunzel and grabbed her wrist. "That I can admit to..."

Rapunzel groaned as Suxen struck her stomach, blowing her away. I grunted and groaned as Rapunzel slammed into me. I landed on my feet then Rapunzel flew upwards. Rapunzel flew toward Suxen and thrusted her spear at him. He dodged the attack them black lightning began crackling around his hand.

"Come..." Suxen said then slashed at Rapunzel.

Rapunzel dodged the slash then spun in the air and came down with a slash. Suxen appeared on the side of Rapunzel then kneed her face, knocking her away. Rapunzel rolled in the ground then recovered onto her feet. She panted softly and grunted. Her hair began to glow and she unleashed her golden energy.

Suxen adjusted his mask and laughed. "Now we are seeing the full power of The Songstress!"

Rapunzel dashed toward Suxen and jumped in the air then came down with a axe kick, but Suxen dodged then parried her other strike. Suxen went for a counter, but Rapunzel used her hair to shield the strike. Rapunzel made hair spikes protrude from her shield, but Suxen managed to dodge it.

Rapunzel spun around and struck Suxen with a roundhouse kick then rushed forwa and thrusted her spear. Suxen surrounded his hand with black lightning and chopped the spear, forcing it down then struck Rapunzel with a swift right hook. He rushed forward and gripped Rapunzel's neck holding her upwards. Rapunzel grunted and tossed her spear to the side then her hair caught it.

Suxen noticed the spear and dropped Rapunzel, dodging the spear. He walked backwards then chuckled. "Ahh, I love watching you Agents struggle...Allow me to tell you all something."

Rapunzel stood up, rubbing her neck. "What..?"

Suxen pointed upwards. "I'm sure you know, but our goal is to reach Heaven...Tempest wants to be the new Goddess. I'm not allowing that. I will become the New God! That starts by reaching Seraph City. That also starts with the Sacred Verses."

I grunted and watched Suxen. "Well you aren't getting them!"

Suxen turned to look at me then noticed Addis walking forward. He smirked and looked at Leo. "Well who would this be?"

'He's playing like a fool...40% Luke Rose. Suxen would of course know who Addis is.' Leo thought to himself.

"Nice try, Suxen." Addis said. "We've met many times before this. Before Claudio's upbringing."

Suxen adjusted his mask then sighed. "Right...how could I forget the Reincarnation of Adam."

"It's also nice that you remember me, Mr. Rose." Addis said.

"What? Addis, what did you say?" I asked.

Suxen looked at Addis then took off his mask. We all looked at him then were surprised to see that Suxen turned out to be a woman.

"No...The Trickster." Addis said in shock.

The woman laughed and placed her hand on her hip. "Chassie strikes again~"

"You damn Omega Angels!" Leo yelled. "Where's the real Suxen?!"

"Right here..." Suxen said as he stood behind Leo.

Leo looked back and his eyes widened as he felt Suxen's incredibly dark energy. Leo walked forward and looked back at Suxen then felt chills going down his spine. I looked at Leo and noticed his hand tremble.

You...you are...Luke Rose." Addis said with a bit of a nervous tone.

Suxen took off his mask then my eyes widened. Everyone looked at Suxen in shock, he left us speechless and in awe. Addis was more in disbelief then watched as he put his mask back on. He looked back when he heard me fall to my knees. He grunted softly as he grew weaker.

"You were there...you were the one I fought at the Museum and the Church. Dad..! Why would you..." I said and panted.

Suxen looked at me and crossed his arms. "Claudio, the moment you acquired that first Sacred Verse, I knew you'd be trouble. But even you knew you don't deserve that power."

Addis quickly hurried to me and covered my ears."Don't listen to him...Just focus on my words."

I felt my heart beating quickly. Even though I was on the verge of breaking, all I could hear was Addis's words, but they weren't necessarily his.

"Luke Rose...is the Reincarnation of the first and strongest Demon, The Serpent also known as the Demon of Nexus, Belial. Your dad is all evil. I know this is a lot to take in and process, but believe me...he isn't someone you can see as your Dad anymore." Addis said.

"Are you finished with your prayer session? I would like to get those Verses and move on." Suxen said.

Addis let go of me and stood up. He stepped backwards then watched me stand. I closed my eyes then my silver aura surged powerfully around my body. My Markings shined brightly then I propelled myself toward Suxen and bellowed.

Suxen watched me and chuckled. "Foolish, son."

He parried my attack then kneed my stomach. I grunted and coughed blood, not able to withstand his attack. I flew backwards then Dearie caught me by my collar and helped me land safely. I panted and fell onto one knee.

"Already finished?" Suxen asked as he walked toward me. "What a shame, I was hoping after you awakened that you would show a little more..."

Suxen noticed a faint vision of a halo over my head then laughed as he stood up. He kicked my face, knocking me flat on the ground then stomped on my chest. "You'll never defeat me, child..."

I grunted as I felt a ring of dark energy appear around my neck. It began to drain my life force and suffocate me. Suxen chuckled as he watched me struggle. Yuki appeared behind him and slashed at him, but Suxen blocked the claymore and pushed it away.

Yuki drew a symbol of one of her Dwarves. "Burnout!"

The symbol summoned a red spirit of her dwarf then he summoned flaming chakram then threw it at Suxen. Suxen swatted his hand then the chakram dispersed. Yuki was surprised and took a step back.

"It's unfortunate that you can't save your most precious Agent. Just sit back and watch him struggle." Suxen said.

"Fight." A voice said.

My eyes shined and my body discharged angelic energy. Suxen grunted and noticed me break out of his hold then awakened my Angel Mode. I manifested my wings, but my halo couldn't be manifested just yet. Suxen looked at me and noticed me landing.

[Sacred Verses LV. 3 Unlocked!]

'What the hell..? His energy feels similar to mine..?' Suxen thought to himself.

I rushed toward Suxen and struck his face with a Fury even Addis felt. Suxen stumbled backwards then groaned as I delivered a powerful kick to his stomach.

"Leave behind your past.." The voice said.

I spun around with a jumping tornado kick, striking Suxen across his face. I didn't understand who's voice it was, but his voice was loud. His voice made me feel stronger, wiser, better. All I knew was I was experiencing a Miracle.

I knocked Suxen away with a palm strike and he groaned as he rolled backwards. I looked at my hands then noticed my white, silver, and blue aura. I noticed a hint of violet within my aura as well and felt a ten times stronger than before. I closed my eyes and exhaled. I didn't hear the voice anymore.

'What the hell was that..? That sudden increase to his power and Willpower? This angelic energy, no way is he the incarnation of the Angel of Nexus. This can't be possible...I am the one who saved him. How is he...' Suxen thought to himself.

I looked at Suxen and glared at him. "I've achieved Angel Mode, but I know this isn't enough to defeat you. Leave, get the fuck outta here."

Suxen stared at me and chuckled. "I'll leave for now, but expect your days to grow shorter as time passes."

Suxen and his allies warped away from the area. Everyone hurried over to me and stared at me. Rapunzel and Yuki were the lost worried, but I assured them that I was fine. I had a lot to take in and process.

Leo frowned and closed his eyes.

______________________________

Leo stood outside the Woodcrest HQ and watched as I walked outside. "Let's go."

I nodded and walked with him. "Rapunzel really wants to meet with me after everything? I was basically useless throughout that entire fight.."

"It's alright, but now you know the truth. The truth about your dad." Leo said and placed his hands in his pockets.

I looked down and closed my eyes. "I truly...wanted to learn everything I could from him, but now knowing he's been doing this for years before me. He's been posing as an ally the entire time."

"I've known this for a while, but I needed more concrete evidence. Now that I have what I want and all the proof I need. All I have to do is kill him. Kill him and stop this entire operation once and for all." Leo said.

"Alone?! Are you crazy, Leo?" I asked and stopped him. "My dad, he's—"

"I know what he is, Claudio. Trust me, I know." Leo said and smiled at me.

Dearie looked at me then looked at Leo. "Leo.."

"There's no need to try and convince me, Dearie. If I kill him now, all you would have to worry about is fixing the aftermath." Leo said then placed his hand on my shoulder.

I felt my heart dropping as soon as I felt him place his hand on my shoulder. "Leo.."

"Save your tears..." Leo chuckled and smiled at me. "We are at war now.."

I looked down and balled my hands into fists. 'I can't lose another...person I care about..'

We made it to Rapunzel's Angelic Tower and looked up at it. Leo crossed his arms and noticed Rapunzel's hair flowing down the tower.

"There's our entrance." Leo said.

"Seriously?" I asked.

Leo looked at the hair and back at me. "Yep."

I shrugged and walked toward Rapunzel's hair and began scaling the tower using her hair. Leo used a floating platform and taunted me. I watched him float upwards and sighed.

I finally climbed into the window and panted softly. I stood up and stretched. "Next time tell me about the floating platform."

Leo chuckled and placed his hands in his pockets. "Alright Rapunzel, he's here."

Rapunzel made her hair shorter then stood up from praying. She looked back at me and her beautiful emerald green eyes gazed upon me. "Daisy and Mihr tells me a lot about you~ Very good in bed, better on the battlefield~"

"I'm sure the bed comment was given by Daisy. The only time mentioning my sex life actually can be good." I said and shook my head.

Rapunzel giggled softly and walked toward me. "No need to feel embarrassed..~ A man who's sex life is as good as this, saving a few Agents and Darlings shouldn't be an issue~"

I looked at Rapunzel and her touch sent waves of irrefutable pleasure around my body.

"You have the power and skills now..~ I'm glad you showed as Woodcrest and Oakridge have fallen into a bit of conflict regarding two Elven Nations. Two Elven Princesses fighting over land." Rapunzel said.

"Aren't you like the Queen of Oakridge? Why don't you settle it? They aren't gonna listen to some VIP 5 Agent." I said.

"When they know who you are, they'll listen~ All me and Yuki want you to do is unite these two Elven Factions and help them start an entirely new nation with them." Rapunzel said.

"Quest Accepted." Dearie said.

"What—Dearie you shouldn't accept anything without my approval!" I said.

"Negative, You would keep arguing instead of going down to Oakridge and stopping two Elven Darlings from killing each other." Dearie said.

"Whatever." I said.

"You aren't going to be alone. Aria will be with you." Rapunzel said.

"Aria..?" I asked. "That woman we saved from Vance...right I'll be going now."

"Good luck~" Rapunzel said.
