Chapter 1695 Angel Jophiel’s Army III
Adrian returned back to the main world as he has expended a lot of mana dragging all those enemies. He managed to bluff his way into dragging the enemies as he could only do this to five enemies at once when he is not buffed. Thanks to the buff given by the Seven Original Sins, he was able to drag more people in the Shadow Realm.
"I still have half my mana or rather it regenerated to half already." Adrian stated as he used a lot of mana transporting enemies to the Shadow Realm.
He did this to try the buffs that he has received and also to test the waters on how accurate the mana decreased from transporting enemies. Just like before, it takes at least five times the mana needed to transport allies. Adrian really needs an item that could recover mana greatly or even outright cancel the mana cost.
"At least the angels are now extremely wary." Adrian stated as he could see that the angels are no longer using the invisibility tactic to get close to the Hell Gate.
"Still, the fact that they can detect the death of their own brethren is something that bothers me. How do they do it?" Adrian thought as he looked at the gigantic floating castle in the sky.
"The operatives have died, your great beauty." One of the angels reported as some of the stars on the ceiling suddenly went dim.
"They were expendable anyway, but does anyone know how they have died?" Jophiel asked as they do not want to be unable to respond to enemies that are unknown.
"It seems that the demons have held hands with the devils. We can see the Champion of the Twin Gods near the Hell Gate using the foresight magic." The angel assistant replied as they showed an image of Adrian floating around with mirrors.
"It is always those demons that make it difficult. Maybe our dear Goddess should have destroyed them when she made sure that all their progenitors died. Can you not deal with such an insignificant being? He is not even one of the three old hags that are commanding the demons." Jophiel stated.
"If you wish, your great beauty. I can lead a small punitive force to kill that demon for you and offer his head." A burly angel stated as he held his spear with might.
"Yes! If it is you, my precious, Jorikiel then you would be able to kill that demon for me. Still, I want him alive to play with. He still looks quite beautiful in my eyes even though he is an inferior species. I always wanted a pet demon." Jophiel stated.
"If you wish for it then this one shall grant it." Jorikiel stated as he unfurled his four wings and started to lead angels under him to join the battle below.
Adrian did not know what is happening in the floating castle, but he could feel that someone was talking to him. His nose was suddenly itching without a reasonable explanation. He was about to provide some support to the army when Saena suddenly reported something to him.
"Master, powerful surges of light energy could be seen exiting the floating castle." Saena stated as she was healing not just the Pantheon Guild members but also all beings that are touched by her light. She was no longer restricted like in Hell which meant that she is free to wield her healing abilities.
The large gates that could be seen on the floating castle suddenly opened. Adrian's eyes bulged when he suddenly saw the notification that prompted because he never thought that he would see it. It was a quest that has not activated even if he has dozens of encounters with angels.
[The fragment of Abel's soul that is resonating with your blood has detected the presence of the angel that led him to ruin.]
Adrian did not expect that the angel that can lead him to the secret Tomb of the Asmodians have finally been revealed. He expected that he would have to destroy the Silver City for it to happen, but he was elated upon seeing that the angel was here. The reaction happened when the gates to the floating castle opened which he did not expect.
"I guess this is the time. I always thought that I needed to take my time, but it seems that the opportunity does not knock twice if it is already let go." Adrian stated as he pulled out numerous legendary armors from his inventory.
Adrian wanted to upgrade his armor when he was free of worries as he did not want people to know that he is in possession of a special type of armor. Still, he knows his limitations as he would die if he stormed the floating castle with the current one that he is wearing. He needs something that could give him defense against the angels after all.
Frey already sent the armor that she promised Adrian and it was an armor that cannot be gained with ease. It seems that Frey also made great lengths to get this armor at it was an item that can be considered as extremely rare. It is also an item that will greatly help Adrian in his fights with angels.

[Do you wish to feed the Damaged Armor of the Saint of Light Lu to the Asmodian Battle Uniform?]
"Might as well but I should prepare something before that." Adrian stated as he accepted since he now has a different objective this time.
"Soul Recall!" Adrian stated as a gate that led to the afterlife suddenly appeared before him.
[You have used Soul Recall.]
[A being from Hades will be summoned.]
[The guard dog of Hades has responded to your call.]
[Cerberus will now appear in the main world!]
Three howls suddenly echoed in the area as the gate to the afterlife that Adrian summoned suddenly became bigger and changed in shape. The gate that was only pattered with skulls suddenly had the image of a three headed dog. The gate opened and a large beast came out of it that is breathing fire.
Everyone in the battlefield heard the howl as this was a war cry of a powerful beast. Cerberus came out of the gate revealing three different heads that had different expressions. One was aloof, one was sad, the last one looked like it would tear out someone's throat.
"Thank you for responding to my call, Gatekeeper of Hades. I wish to give you the task of defending the Hell Gate while I am unable to do so. Will you please answer my call?" Adrian stated.
The three-heads of Cerberus suddenly became fierce as all three no longer had different expressions. The moment it heard defending a gate, Cerberus suddenly became tense as it is the underworld's best guard dog after all. It will not let any being pass through the gate unless its master wills it.
The legends where the living that traveled to Hades being able to trick Cerberus was all stories they have created. In reality, no trespassing living soul has been able to leave Hades once they enter it since Cerberus will tear their bodies to shreds once he is on patrol. There have been cases of living beings returning from Hades as they were given permission by the God of Death Hades to leave.
"We shall obey you as part of the temporary contract, Champion of the Twin Gods. With us here, the Hell Gate and you will be protected." Cerberus replied with three different voices as all three heads talked.
"Thank you very much." Adrian bowed as he proceeded to feed the Damaged Armor of the Saint of Light Lu to his own armor.
[The Asmodian Battle Uniform has achieved more than the recommended armors to evolve.]
[Do you wish to make your Asmodian Battle Uniform evolve?]
"Yes!" Adrian replied.
As soon as Adrian held the Damaged Armor of the Saint of Light Lu, the angels that were observing him suddenly charged faster. The Damaged Armor of the Saint of Light Lu is not an ordinary item because it is a holy item where part of the Goddess of Light Luminaria's blessing is placed. It was an item that was given to the most powerful human saint that led the Church of Light to its height.
"You dare sully a holy item that the Goddess of Light has! Demon!" Jorikiel shouted but he was too late.
