Chapter 262 262: A Last Farewell [Pt1]
It did not take long for Zadkiel to find Yohan. But he was surprised to find the attack doll of heaven with him.
As far as Zadkiel remembered, the little goddess had brought Ruri here for selfish reasons. And technically speaking, Ruri was still under Heaven’s control so she was a liability. The smart thing to do would be to kill Ruri.
But Yohan thought things differently. And Zadkiel was sure that Ruri and Yohan had a past he did not want to think about. The less he knew, the better for his sanity.
Especially with the questionable state, Ruri was in. Zadkiel did not want to know how she got the bite mark on her shoulder. The less Zadkiel knew, the better it was for him overall.
“Yohan, we are done with things here. Huye said she would take care of herself and her successor. So, what is the plan from here? Are you going to stay in this world for longer?”
Zadkiel would appreciate some more time in this world to gather his thoughts and get his mind on the right track. But Yohan was not a patient man.
He liked to do things fast and how knew what he would decide.
“Hmm, I already have a person in mind as the next successor so that is not a problem. My familiar would inform Huye of my decision and she would take care of things. As for us? I think it is time we move on to the next world.”
Yohan raised his hand his skin broke off into a small bird. It was a familiar made of one’s blood and flesh. It was one of the most powerful forms of magic one could practice.
Zadkiel was a little annoyed by how well Yohan was able to use his familiar magic, but he decided not to dwell on it too much. He was getting to the stage of forming a familiar as well.
“Hey Yohan, are you sure it is alright for us to go to the next world so early? I know you want to hurry up but we are still in a bind and-”
“Your worries are the same as Ruri and I will tell you the same thing I told her. We do not have time to waste currently. The more time we waste here, the more we will fall behind the others who are out collecting the realm keys.”
Yohan’s words were sharp and Zadkiel was sure he had made his decision. Now nothing he said would be able to make Yohan give up.
“Fine, I get it. You will do what you want to anyway so there is no need for me to interfere, right? But he was careful out there at least. The heaven’s realm is not as peaceful as it might look like at first.”
Yohan knew that heaven was not a peaceful place. A peaceful place would not put a tracker and other spells on one of its people just because they were afraid of her power
But Rui had suffered greatly because of the heavenly realm and its tyranny. Yohan would have to make sure he took revenge on her behalf.
“Do not worry. I am not charging in blindly this time. I do have a plan in place and I also have countermeasures in place to ensure that we turn out the winners.”
Yohan sounded so confident that Zadkiel felt his doubts melting away from his mind. The spell Yohan had placed to share his power with Zadkiel helped him a lot as well.
“But still, do not underestimate the will of heaven. We will need allies who can help us out. Strong allies at that and we cannot allow our allies to step back once they had stepped up on the battlefield.”
In simpler terms, what Zadkiel wanted to say was that needed help from outside of their current circle. But Yohan was ready for such a case as well. He had been gathering allies all over different worlds and now it was finally time for him to use them.
Besides, Yohan was also going to corrupt a lot of local people into helping him. That was another possibility that heaven had never thought of.
Overall, Yohan was confident in his win. Whether heavens or not, Yohan had a plan of his own in place.
“Things would be alright, Zadkiel. Have I ever let you down before? This time as well, the heaven will bow down to my will.”
Zadkiel decided to trust Yohan after that. Mainly because he did not have a choice in this matter. Yohan was already ready to go to the next world by now. He just needed a way to reach the gate.
“Fine, it seems like you have already made your decision. Now follow me so that I can take you to the next portal. I can only keep it open for a few minutes so that is the time frame we have going for us.”
Ruri sounded sorry about not being able to help Yohan more. But Yohan understood that Ruri had her limitations as well. She was not free from heaven’s will and she would have to be careful while smuggling people into her world.
“Alright, we shall leave at down today. Get your remaining affairs in order. I have a place I need to visit as well.”
Yohan could have gone away and never said a word to Rui. But he wanted to tell her about him leaving.
Rui had helped him a lot until now and she deserved a reward for all her work. So, Yohan was going to leave her a free pass for his original world.
He wanted to show Rui she did not need to be confined by this small place. She could be what she wanted to be and she could act as freely as she wanted.
“Alright. Do as you wish to. Ruri, you should come with me. I will get you caught up with what you missed and how to manage your chains.”
Ruri looked annoyed. She did not want to go with Zadkiel and she wanted to help Yohan out. But her current condition was something she needed to learn how to manage as well.
In the end, Ruri did go with Zadkiel, leaving Yohan on his own.
