Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Lucas endured the attack without much damage. Tho his mana armor couldn't completely prevent the damage to his body; it quickly regenerated into a normal state. Only his clothes were destroyed during the spar.

"Not bad, Jacob." Lucas extended him toward him. "Welcome aboard."

"Thank you." Jacob accepted the handshake.

"Can I check out the sword?"

"Sure."

Jacob handed over the sword to Lucas. However, the moment Lucas picked up the sword, the menacing flame on the blade disappeared.

"I guess the only one who can use the sword are you?"

"I don't know," Jacob shrugged. "You're the first person to hold it besides me."

Lucas tried swinging the sword. However, it acted like a regular magicless blade. He tried infusing his own mana into it, but the sword didn't react, so Lucas gave up and gave the sword back to its original owner.

"So, how does it feel? To use that sword?" Lucas wondered curiously as they watched Jacob retract the sword into the jewel.

"It is kind of weird." He gazed at his own palm. "The sword feels like an extension of my body; it guides me..."

"Guides you how?"

"I don't know how to explain this, but it feels that it teaches me how to move my hands and mana when fighting; it even gives instructions for certain skills."

"Like that slash, you just did on me?" Lucas raised his brow; he was quite impressed with that skill and wondered if he could learn a skill like that.

"Yes. The sword knows what I want before I do..." Jacob nodded.

Lucas was amazed by those words. "So this is a heroic relic." he exclaimed. There was only one question for Jacob. "How did you become a hero?"

"Not too long ago, I woke up and found this jewel on my palm." he showed his hand. "Then I discovered that I can use it to create a weapon."

Suddenly, Araniel walked in and placed her hand on Jacob's shoulder. "Jacob is the latest person god blessed."

Lucas's raised his brows in shock. "Do you mean Isaac?"

"I don't know his name," She shrugged. "Father of that goddess you often hang around with."

"Yeah... That's Isaac." Lucas scratched his chin, wondering about that information.

Araniel noticed Lucas staring at him and asked:

"You know something? What is it? Is it bad?" she inquired.

"I wonder whether he'll be angry that we stole his hero."

She laughed dryly. "I doubt you should care."

"I guess so..."

"If something happens, you have mine and Salathiel's full support!~" She gave Lucas thumbs up.

"Thanks," he smiled back at her. "I'd appreciate that."

Meanwhile, on Isaac's planet, thunderstorms engulfed the sky while lightning struck down from the heavens. For the tallest peak, a winged shadow emerged, screaming.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!" Isaac roared furiously. "LILITH! GET YOUR ASS HERE!" Isaac's voice echoed through the planet.

After a few moments, a purple-haired girl descended gracefully onto the ground. "Is something wrong?" Lilith asked as she stood before Isaac.

"Is something wrong?" he repeated the question mockingly. "Yes! Something is definitely wrong!"

Isaac was furious about Lucas's outrageous behavior in the Holy kingdom, killing the adventurers, spreading panic among the citizens, and even stealing his hero.

"What the fuck is your little boyfriend up to?!" he yelled, pointing his finger at her. "Do you have any idea what Lucas is doing?!"

"Uh... No clue." Lilith shrugged as she couldn't see Lucas as long as he was in Eden. "Would you like to tell me?" she asked with an innocent smile on her face.

Isaac glared at her with piercing eyes for a moment, then looked away with frustration on his lips. He couldn't be angry at Lilith for long. He sighed and said.

"I don't think you should be staying in Lightburn anymore."

"What? Why?!" She became startled.

"Because I don't trust that angel." He snapped back, showing his teeth. He created a crystal ball that showed a live view of what was going on in the Snowlands; it showed Jacob standing guard near the throne and a white rift to Eden. "Mhm... You know what..." He decided to give Eden a visit. "Nevermind."

"Huh?" Lilith blinked.

"I'll be right back." Isaac snapped his fingers and disappeared from Lilith's sight.

"Oh no..." Lilith's eyes widened at the realization that her father was about to confront Lucas. She feared that enraged her father might kill Lucas. She wanted to stop Isaac, so she extended her hand and tried making a portal to Snowlands.

"Dammit... work..." She tried creating a portal, but because she had never done that before, she failed. She added even more mana, but only white sparkles appeared in front of her palm. The energy flowing inside of her began growing uncontrollably as she kept trying again and again without success. "Come on..." she mumbled with frustration.

*********

Isaac suddenly appeared in the temple and strides over to Jacob, who stood guard near the throne. Isaac wore a black trenchcoat with a hood that cast a veil of shadow over his face. His golden eyes glint from within, burning with rage as he stared intently at Jacob, who was unaware of his presence.

"So you're the hero who abandoned his mission?" Isaac's voice was cold and mocking, each word piercing through Jacob's head.

Jacob noticed Isaac and manifested a flaming sword. He raised the sword in the air, wondering whether he should cut down Isaac.

"Intruder? Or Lucas's friend?" Jacob asked himself while glaring at Isaac. "Introduce yourself!"

"I am the one who gave you that sword!" Isaac yelled and snapped his fingers. The sword that Jacob held appeared in his hands. He looked at the sword closely and exclaimed, "What the hell have they done to it?" the cursed mana was leaking from the sword as if it were rotting!

"You..." Jacob pointed his finger at the weapon, "Return!" the sword disappeared from Isaac's hands and returned to Jacob's hand. "I suppose you're telling the truth about being the one who gave me my weapon. But I have another leader now."

"How did..." Isaac exclaimed in shock. He couldn't understand how Jacob still had control over the sword after Isaac took it back. His brows furrowed and became dark. "What did you do?"

Jacob didn't reply; instead, he turned away from Isaac, infuriating him.

"You bastard!" Isaac pointed his hand at Jacob, releasing a massive blast of light that evaporated everything in the mountain. However, his eyes widened when he saw two winged girls deflecting the light, protecting Jacob.

Salathiel and Araniel looked at Isaac with cold expressions, and the brunette exclaimed. "It would be a pain in the ass if we had to resurrect him without his body."

Jacob knelt with his hands above his head as if he was trying to protect himself. When he looked up, his eyes sparkled in awe. "Miss Araniel and miss Salathiel!" he exclaimed joyfully while looking at them both.

The angel girls ignored him; their attention was focused on Isaac. The two of them stood there, still holding their hands up front, keeping up the barrier.

"We didn't expect to have guests, sir Isaac." Araniel forced a fake smile with slightly furrowed brows. "What brings a god like you here?"

Isaac stared in disbelief, 'Angels? MORE ANGELS?!'. He knew that Lucas was somehow reviving the dead, but these two girls managed to stay undetected from him. 'How the fuck I couldn't see them before?!' he wondered.

"I didn't expect to see here even more angels." He raised an eyebrow at them and asked: "How didn't I notice the two of you?"

"Because we didn't want to be seen by you!~" Araniel chuckled. She removed her hand and cast a spell into the air; it recreated the entire mountain in an instant.

"Huh?!" Isaac's jaw dropped in surprise; an angel that could use creation magic was news even to him.

Meanwhile, Salathiel crossed her arms on her chest, her eyes shifting side to side as she said, "Honestly, I am surprised that he didn't know we were here." She tapped her foot impatiently on the cold floor and then said, "I made sure that that girl Lilith would notice us."

Araniel's jaw dropped in surprise. "Huh?" he said incredulously. "You what?!"

Salathiel let out a mischievous giggle and bit her lip before bursting into laughter. "Teehee!~" she said innocently.

Araniel puffed out of anger. "Are you stupid or something?!"

Salathiel rolled her eyes. "Jeez! I just wanted to see whether she would snitch on Lucas or not."

"You are..." Araniel bit down on her words and continued, "...Unbelievable."

"Are you two done?" Isaac asked; he was irritated that his daughter hid the fact about two more angels in Lightburn. He walked towards them and raised his hand. "I think I can let Lucas live for Lilith's sake. But the two of you..." he glared at them coldly with his golden eyes. On top of his palm, a golden light appeared. "You two are dangerous."
