The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 139: Supreme Retaliation

"Who are you?"

"I am the rogue administrator, as you call me."

"Why did you summon me?"

"I want to talk with you."

"I know you work with the devil."

"Yes, my associate mentioned you likely recognized his essence."

"What do you want with me?"

"To awaken you."

"What do you mean?"

"It already happened once. Lucifer saw the cradle."

"I see. What's his goal?"

"I can't tell you."

"I hate that."

"What?"

"People keeping things from me, you want me on your side or to help, then tell me what I need to know."

"Answers are much more satisfying to discover yourself, and to be honest. If you awaken you before you're ready, then he will just interfere again."

"What do you mean?"

"How do you think you didn't kill everyone in the inn? That was him."

"Then how bad could he be?"

"You have no idea."

"You're right. I don't, because no one will tell me!"

"Listen, I understand your annoyance, but I'm running low on time, so I'll tell you this. The angels can be trusted."

"What? I thought you would say that they can't."

"No, they can, but make sure that he doesn't sink in his claws. If he does, even you wouldn't be able to resist."

"What do you me-"

{I see you}

"Crap, he found us. I have to go."

The rogue admin fled. I felt true fear at the approaching presence and warped back to Selethon gasping for breath.

"Rose?"

Gabriel was where I appeared.

"I spoke to the rogue admin."

"And?"

"He said to beware as whatever is reverting peoples mind is after him."

"Isn't that good?"

"I'm not sure anymore."

"What?"

"I was close to whatever it was, and... it was terrifying."

"What?"

He saw I was shaking.

"Rose, what did you see?"

"I didn't see anything. I left before it showed its face."

"I see."

"Gabriel, we need to warn Michael of something else."

"What?"

"It's getting agitated. I don't know why, but it will use its power to turn everyone against each other."

"I see, well we can just work it out."

We entered the inn and all of the Angels had their blades turned on Raphael.

"What's going on?!"

Gabriel ran forward, but Cassiel stopped him.
