A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!-Chapter 42 42: Fall Or Virtue? Choose One Side!
?Aureal followed the voice's direction for a brief period of time while wandering aimlessly. No matter where she turned to look, the area was completely dark.
But after a considerable distance of travel, light broke through the horizon. When she finally arrived at the light, she noticed that the darkness she had just left was pushing back against the light.
"What's next? I doubt I need to continue... Odd voice, I cannot see where you are from."
"Yes, this is where you should be, at the intersection of two beliefs in your mind," the voice said, never revealing its position.
"Your lust is the darkness present here. The lust that unknowingly grew while you conversed with Alex, the new Ruler of Sin. You were not subjected to his sin or his aura. You came up with this entirely on your own. And chastity comes from the light."
"Your moral principles, the beliefs you had grown up with, and your virtues from Heaven."
"Although you didn't have much of a choice in what you could believe in because you were reared as an angel of chastity, you always understood what was right."
"Ah, the visitors have shown up. Where my advice ends and your decision begins is at this point." The voice was losing intensity.
'Guests? And who could those people be inside? But I can just see myself here.' She thought and looked around to see if she could see anyone.
Ohhh!!
And then she saw what she was looking for, and there were exactly two figures in front of her, slowly moving in her direction, one figure moved forward in the shadows, while the other moved in the light.
"Good day, Aureal. It's nice to talk to you again."
"What? Ah, whoa, where am I? Aureal? Oh, I see now. Make a mental note to have Nyssa alert me that this might occur." Alex said it as soon as he realised where he was.
The two voices were the only individuals in her life who had ever truly regarded Aureal, cared for her, and had earned the right to be called her friends. The Lord of Lust, Alex, would be the latter, Michael, the Archangel, would be the first one.
Michael began by saying, "I see you are at a decision point. Like a lot of other angels before they lost their grace. Do not be alarmed; this is normal. Simply put, our three bodies are simply sleeping."
"Who are you?" Alex questions the figure standing beside him.
"My name is Michael, and I am an Archangel, and your name is Alex, I already know your name. And please understand that I had nothing to do with this attempted assassination against you. I wished to uphold our pact with the former Lord of Lust. Five of my equals made a different decision; this occurrence was the result of a simple out vote."
? "Oh, well, you seem to be aware of what's happening right now. So, cam you please explain it to me." Alex asked the Archangel Michael for an explanation of the situation he was in. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
"Very well, Aureal must make an important choice about whether to lean toward sin or to remain engulfed in her virtues. Whenever this occurs, the two closest to the angel—one enveloped in sin and the other in virtue—appear in the angel's consciousness and persuade the angel to accompany them." He stopped in a middle, so Alex could process the information he just told him.
"But as you can see, now is not the proper time if you need a more proper thorough explanation." Michael explain him his situation, where he was, and why he was here.
"Ah, ok." Alex just simply replied in a simple tone, not that of someone who didn't get a proper explanation so he will throw a tantrum or something, and Alex was quite accustomed to this, he was not even a slightly uncomfortable for the situation he was in.
"...Why? Exactly why, Michael? There is no way I will be permitted to live if I choose virtue. I already represent an abomination to the rest of my kind." Aureal shouted at Michael for a reason why she should choose the virtue and why she would not choose to fall.
"And once again, I'm sorry that this is the case. You are not an abomination, in my opinion, to me and to a few others. I, Joshua, Luther, and Sanae say no. Raphael, Saraquel, or Ramiel are other options." Michael expressed his regrets once again to Aureal. And said again.
"Like all of us, God created you for a reason. He will definitely speak to us on your behalf, I'm sure. Even four of us Archangels think of you as a regular angel like the rest of us." Michael tried to persuade Aureal and speak again.
"Uriel persevered despite barely escaping wrath. He may consider you to be an abomination, yet those are just his repressed rage. I will ensure that you do have a chance of surviving, I swear." Michael finished, and he even gave him a chance of saving herself.
"Look, I don't know how things work in Heaven, but Michael is not lying," Alex said in response to Michael.
Michael stayed silent but appeared astonished by the demon standing beside him. And taking his side, even though he should have persuaded Aureal, for the reason he came here.
"I can tell he's a friend or not for sure. I've been a loner through most of my life and haven't had many friends. However, once I had one, I was able to tell if she was being a friend, just being kind, or doing something else." Alex said as he was explaining Michael's words to Aureal.
"Right now, I can state that I am not your closest friend." Said Alex.
"That would only be arrogant of me. And in any particular instance, I'm still your friend, regardless of the path you choose—toward a potential new life with me here on Earth, or toward a possible new life in Heaven. Stuff like that doesn't matter to me. This, I can guarantee to you." Alex said to Aureal and to choose what she thought was right.
"I can see that you are really Aureal's friend." Michael said to Alex, clearly seeing the friendship between them is true and not some kind of wicked trick to trick the Aureal.
"Although I'm compelled to warn you, Aureal, should you continue in your wrong doing... My people will be forced to view you as an adversary. Not because I don't want to keep helping you, but because it's the law of Heaven."
"Along with demons, fallen angels are our adversaries. Your fall from grace will instantly confirm whatever insults that have been hurled at you in the past. But if you decide to collapse, I'll understand, in my opinion. Joshua will, and I think God will too. Now it's up to you to make a choice." Michael said as he began to disappear in a light.
To Alex's dismay, after those remarks, he too like began to disappear, just like Michael.
