"General Bren, once the divine energy within the Divine Mark is depleted, you will die. Kekeke!"
It was unknown if it was Flaviens mannerism or it is the nature of a demon. But Flaviens wanted to see Bren's expression of loss and pity.
However, contrary to what he wanted, General Bren sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, instead.
'It's been a while since I was forced into this. I've been long dead if not for his Lord. My only regret is that my son hated me for this.'
General Bren knew that his life is about come to an end. Thus, he closed his eyes and let his life flash before his eyes. He did not regret following the Divine Spirit of Life and Death. And, he wished that his son, Arthur, would also see the glory in following the Divine Spirit of Life and Death.
At this moment, the Divine energy in the Divine Mark has been fully depleted. At the same time, his spiritual energy had also run dry.
However, he remembered, that there is another energy that he can use.
This energy comes from the seed of faithfulness. The faith energy. It is the weaker version of Divine energy.
"I'm not sure if this will work. However, it's worth trying."
With that, he gently opened his eyes with a small flame burning on his eyes.
Allen specifically gave something to compliment his ability. And, that is the seal for the Flames of Life.
Indeed, the small flame in his eyes is the projection of the Flames of Life.
General Bren could feel the changes in his body. It was as if he was burning but he did not feel pain. Rather, it was like he was bathing in a hot spring.
The stiffness of his body due to the depletion of energies was restored.
Then on the next second, he did a set of hand seals.
After that, General Bren's body glowed in a white hue. If one looked at him from afar, he would be like a burning man.
Indeed, the white hue has a shape of a flame. Then, as he finished the hand seals, he directed the flame towards the smoky Flaviens.
At this moment, he did not expect that he still has a trump card on him.
However, as the seed of faithfulness within General Bren is yet to sprout, it has a small capability.
Indeed, the Flames of Life is powerful. However, General Bren is yet to use it to the fullest. This is not even a percent of its true prowess.
"Ahhh!"
Although small, smoky Flaviens felt pain.
"Bastard, I was originally planning to spare you to make use of the weak Divine Spirit's authority. However, you've angered me."
Flaviens was furious. Hie pride was hurt as his spirit form was injured by him.
The Divine Spirits and Demons had spirit forms. However, Allen could not use his spirit form.
Supposedly, the Divine Spirit, when they were born, is already powerful. At that time, they are already in their spirit form.
Their spirit form is their body that was made of Divine energy. Likewise for the Demons. However, unlike Divine Spirits, they are not born powerful.
They will slowly accumulate power as they cause chaos. Whether it was in the mind of people and the world.
The chaos in the minds could be from the seven sins. Pride, lust, sloth, gluttony, envy, wrath, and greed.
Meanwhile, there is only one source of chaos in this world, which is destruction.
However, destruction could also be linked to change. After all, creation comes after it.
In the interim, the smoky Flaviens pointed his smoky fingers towards General Bren. Then, as if his dark staff knew what to do, it zoomed towards General Bren with the intention to eradicate him.
At this moment, General Bren is no longer expecting any plot twists.
For this time, he had a vague understanding of the laws of the world.
One can become millions and millions can become one. It is the same with the concept of a world within a lead and a leaf on the world.
"Unfortunately, I cannot apply my newly learned knowledge.'
General Bren is regretful. He indeed learned new knowledge; however, he is about to lose his life.
Deep in his heart, he prayed, "my Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, please, please, please give another plot twist."
However, little did he know that Allen already had a backup plan.
In the next second, a gentle melody wafted in the air. The melody is accompanied by faint Divine energy.
This is the faith energy coming from the prophet of the Divine Spirit of Life and Death. It could not be compared to General Bren's faith energy. It is way stronger than his
Indeed, it was none other than Cold Wind, the Fossegrim.
His faith energy is holding its grounds against Flaviens' demonic energy.
Because Flaviens is yet to reach the highest stage of a Demon, his demonic energy is thin.
Meanwhile, faith energy is not the only thing that Cold Wind had. On the next second, he accompanied his melody with a prayer.
"The Divine Spirit of Life and Death, the great master of the universe, the immemorial one, please eliminate the stain of this world."
With that said, yet another plot twist for General Bren had arrived.
He did not lose his life.
"My Lord, I thank you with all my heart." General Bren said his gratitude in prayer.
Then, he looked at Cold Wind. Never did he know that Allen had an admiral as a follower.
Cold Wind had been here since he had completed his mission.
Allen sent him here to experience the world. He was aware that Cold Wind is rather naïve. By letting him go here, he would surely grow a lot faster.
Aside from that, Allen also wanted him to secretly look for his follower as he had decided to stay in Asgard for a while.
Allen got a feeling that there are still some things that he needed to do there.
