My Angelic System

Chapter 169 Critical Condition

?

As Ras left Kye's side to let him rest, he quickly went to his office before calling Aria. After a few minutes, she answered, her face clearly showing deep annoyance for Ras.

"What do you want chicken?" She asked while looking over some documents, her glasses emphasizing her jewel-like blue eyes.

"I need your help lizard." Ras answered as he himself was looking over a few documents. Although he was busy with Kye, he still had to look over a few things as it had been a long time since he was at home.

Aria's eyebrow twitched as she heard how Ras called her, but quickly calmed down after seeing how serious Ras' face was. "What happened? There are a few things that will require my help, especially since you're so stubborn usually."

"Sigh, well I wish I could have done this on my own, but I can't," He sighed before putting the documents down to look at Aria directly in the eyes. "It's about Kye."

"What?" Aria's voice was filled with shock. "Kye? Is he with you?" However, it quickly died down after seeing Ras' serious expression. Usually, Ras would have made fun of Aria because Kye came to him and not her, but since he did not, it must have meant that there was something more serious in place. "What happened for you to be so serious."

Ras sighed again before explaining things from the start. "Kye came to Nebula after he lost all of his friends. They aren't dead, from what he said, but he doesn't know their whereabouts either."

"And what could have caused that? Surely they didn't go away because they were annoyed with him, right?" Aria asked.

"No, they were attacked by Insect Monsters, meaning that our parents are slowly starting their operations."

Aria's expression grew even more serious than it was already. "Those old fuckers. Can't they stay put? What's so great about attacking them?!" After calming down, Aria spoke again. "Anyway, if you want to help him find his friends, you'll need Ama's help, she is the greatest in this area."

"That's what I was planning to do. I'll go with him to look for her, just in case so that she won't be able to try anything funny."

"Good. But there must be something else, right? Surely you didn't call me for this."

"No," Ras became serious again. "Kye... you remember when you told me that he has demonic energy in him, right?" Aria nodded. "Well, the tiny bit of demonic energy started to take over his holy energy when he got angry. Even his wings were starting to get black as if he was becoming a fallen angel."

"What?!" Aria stood up. As someone who knew a lot about energies, she knew that it wasn't something normal.

Ras nodded gravely. "It happened when he got extremely angry about the Insect Monsters. The air around him started to get heavier, and his emotions were out of control. I had to knock him out temporarily to bring him back to his senses."

Aria paced back and forth, deep in thought. She knew the implications of what Ras had just described were significant. The coexistence of holy and demonic energies within someone was a rare and potentially dangerous condition. If not properly managed, it could lead to a complete loss of control and a descent into darkness.

"Ras, this is more serious than I thought," she said, her voice tinged with concern. "The interplay between holy and demonic energies can be unpredictable and volatile. And it's not something possible with such a tiny amount of demonic energy. Heck, he has 99,9% of holy energy and only 0,01% of demonic energy. It's impossible for such a thing to happen."

Ras nodded, his worry deepening. "I know it's not supposed to be possible, Aria, but it happened. His wings turned black, and I could feel the overwhelming darkness emanating from him. It was as if he was on the verge of losing himself to it. And that's why I called you. You're better than me in this area. The only thing I could do was knock him out. But even this will be useless when I won't be here. It's too dangerous to leave him alone when we don't know what will happen if he falls."

Aria's sharp analytical mind was already working through the possibilities. "There's no known precedent for this," she muttered to herself. "Such a tiny fraction of demonic energy shouldn't be able to exert that much influence. It's almost as if..."

She trailed off, lost in thought. Her eyes widened as a realization struck her. "Ras, there's something we're missing here. It's not just about the amount of demonic energy. There's something unique about Kye's situation, something we don't fully understand yet."

Ras nodded in agreement. "That's what I feared. We can't afford to underestimate this. Kye is our friend, and I won't let him be consumed by darkness." Aria nodded.

"I'm coming right away," Aria said as she started to get ready. "I need to look into this with my own two eyes.

"What do you mean you'll come? You're busy as it is," Ras stopped her. "You can't just stop what you're doing."

"What do you mean I can't? I don't care about this, Kye is more important. He's as much your friend as he is for me. I don't want to take any risk in this matter."

Ras couldn't help but smile at Aria's determination. Despite her often prickly demeanor, she had a strong sense of loyalty and friendship, especially when it came to those she cared about.

"Alright," Ras said with gratitude in his voice. "We'll be in my quarters. I'll explain everything in detail when you get here. Thanks, Aria."

Aria nodded and ended the call, already making preparations to leave her work behind temporarily. She knew that unraveling the mysteries surrounding Kye's condition was paramount, not only for his well-being but potentially for the safety of everyone around him.

Back in Ras's quarters, Kye began to stir from his unconscious state. His eyes fluttered open, and he looked around, feeling a bit disoriented.

"Ras?" Kye mumbled, trying to remember what had happened, but his eyes widened when he noticed that he was alone in the room.
