XL-I

Alviary and Jethro immediately flew over to Biringan to rescue the good people of the place. Alviary uses the air to fly faster while Jethro using the sea to travel as fast as the living Gods who is flying smoothly above him. Titans can swim faster than living Gods, so Jethro uses this advantage to keep up with his mate. When they arrived at Biringan, they immediately observed all the Sluagh people left in the area to watch. Alviary clicks his tongue and stopped near the fence of Biringan, he looked over to Jethro who was next to him. He wondered what they would do to enter Biringan without the need for force. 

A few minutes later Alviary remembered that Jethro is a titan, who can grow bigger using his magic. He almost punched himself for forgetting such critical information. He approached the man and wrapped his arm around Jethro's neck and kissed him suddenly. Jethro was shocked by what Alviary did but he also kissed him back. When they finished kissing, Jethro looked into Alviary's glowing eyes. Jethro laughed at his partner's small request and nodded. 

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before using his magic to make his arms contract and be ready for the next steps on growing in his natural state. It has been a while so his muscles need to get used to the contraction. Bone cackling and muscles ripping…these are the things that Alviary hears as Jethro grows bigger. He gulps and bites his lips as he watches him in pain. He is now regretting asking him to do this. But the reassuring sign from Jethro's eyes gave him the strength to fly on to the top of the bricked wall and looks over the whole Biringan. 

As Jethro continues growing, Alviary looks over and sees that the Sluaghs are still not aware of their presence. He looks at Jethro who is now at his full length and grants protection before he shows his gigantic self to the Sluaghs. For the Sluaghs to notice them, Alviary unleashes dark clouds and swirling winds that look like a mini-tornado. Upon seeing this, Jethro stands tall and proud as he looks down to the Sluaghs, making them terrified and unable to attack the giant. Taking this opportunity, Jethro steps over the wall as the Sluaghs scrambles to get away from the titan.

Ignacio heard a loud thud from the outside and tries to look at the tiny hole that it connected from the lake near the dungeon. He can't see anything but he can feel the presence of a living God in their territory. He asks his brother to see if he can search who is on their territory. When they felt that the roof of the dungeon is being ripped apart and he could hear Alviary's voice saying, "Be careful, there are creatures inside!" yelling it to the person ripping the roof. A little chuckle can be heard as the roof was completely off. 

Ignacio gasps the moment he sees the titan. He never knew that there are still titans alive after their extinction from the angry Old Sage of the Oldest Kingdom, who died along with them. Jethro pries the cell's gates and watches the people of Biringan scramble their way out of the cell. Alviary draws white magic from his palms and drops it to all the people of Biringan, immediately transporting them back to the Phantom Island to decrease the chances of them getting hurt from the Sluagh. 

After the transfer, Alviary went face-to-face to Jethro, asking him to finish all the Sluaghs that are still inside of Biringan. Jethro nods and asks him to sit on his shoulder to regain his strength that they need to transfer themselves back to Phantom Island. Alviary chuckles and sits down on his broad shoulder, enjoying the view from his spot. He even enjoyed watching Jethro steps on the Sluaghs as if they were ants scrambling away from the titan, trying to save their lives. But after an hour of stomping around and stepping on the Sluaghs, Jethro got tired and sits down for a while and let Alviary take over and kill all the other Sluaghs that are present in Biringan.

Larius and Keres were still sleeping when the ship sails. He hasn't felt so good after the years of being in Biringan. He wakes up with a smile on his face and looks over to where Keres is. They arrived at the island safely, thanks to Fugatt, who created a portal for them from Linnamenie. He kisses his mate's lips and went out of bed. He pulls the robe from the chair and puts it on him. He went to the windowpane and opens the window to feel the cold breeze since winter is approaching. 

He felt Keres's presence approaching and hugging him from behind, snuggling on his neck and leaving marks all over it too. "It's too early for this," Larius said in between his moans and giggles as Keres smothers him with kisses and bite marks. "Nothing is too early for me," Keres said, cockily raising his brow as he looks at the Angel God in front of him. 

They were flirting all morning when Larius suddenly felt a strange force. He was alarmed and told the creatures inside the island to hide and not to come out of their cave first. Keres was also alarmed because of Larius' behavior; he surrounded the island with his magic when he suddenly felt his father's presence from a distance, making him gawk in disgust. He told Larius about this and asks the warriors that protect the island to prepare themselves for his father's arrival. 

Larius frowned when he found out that the people from Biringan were already on the island. Their appearance is dirty but not their presence and magic. Larius instructed Ignacio to take part in the battle for his men who had been desecrated by the Sluaghs. The leader of the Biringan people nodded and changed the clothes he would use for the fight. They also prepared bows, arrows, swords, and various slingshots to use to fight the Sluaghs.

When Keres said that his father was close to the island, they began to go to the shore where the ship carrying Sluagh would land. They have also planted bombs for the time that the Sluaghs step on the island, they will be reduced immediately. Larius and Keres prepared themselves for the Sluagh King's arrival when Larius got Salthifer's message, but before he even replies to the living God, the Sluagh surprised them from behind, startling a few of the warriors. 

Although others were not afraid of the surprise brought by the Sluaghs, they hurried to attack them. They no longer care if they die, as long as they can protect the island that once stood as their home. 

As Ignacio was fighting, he heard a child crying nearby and approached him. He was just surprised to see that he was not a child but that he was the King of the Sluaghs. It shrank suddenly but Sluagh still reached him. Agus strangled him until he broke his neck before he shot and ate Ignacio's head. His twin saw this and lost sight of the height of the battle. Larius also saw this that he was afraid of because he could no longer recognize Agus' appearance.

Keres looked in his father's direction and stared at him with disgust, never wanting to get near him at all. He could not believe that was what his father looked like today. He went to Larius telling him to hide from his father. Larius just shook his head and told Salthifer what had happened to Ignacio which also surprised him. 

While Agus' men were fighting, he suddenly shouted Keres' name, as if the boy could not hear him. "Keres!" he shouted, the prince looked at him and frowned. "How are you, my child?" Agus asked with a warning in his voice which Larius felt so he backed away from Agus. Keres positioned himself in front of Larius while looking badly at his father. Agus just laughed at what he saw and smirks at them.

Agus leans forwards and growls as he stomps his feet on the ground and attacking his son. Keres did not falter and steps forward launching himself to his father. Agus struggled and was about to break his son's hand so that he could release the bite, but he felt as if his arm was gone. He looked to his right and saw that his blood was dripping and his arm was indeed gone.

It looked in front of him and saw Keres holding his arm. He kicked it with the wing of an angel from Larius. Agus felt the pain of the wing being thrust into his arm and he screamed in vain. Agus looked at his only child with anger in his eyes. Keres just looked back at him and grabbed Larius' sword.

If it was pure Sluagh who did it then he might have been burned the moment he held the angel's sword. Since Keres is not a pure angel, he has no problem grabbing Larius' sword.1 He pointed it at his father's neck. Agus was sweating and his eyes asking for mercy. But his son just shook his head and beheaded his father.
