Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Chapter 66 Arc 2 - Angels From Eden

The dark-haired girl spoke in a firm voice: "Hello there... You seem to be lost."

Lucas stayed silent, his eyes darting between the two girls as he tried to understand why a deep-seated fear was growing inside him. The girls stood with their arms crossed and smirked at him, daring him to speak.

He sat atop the throne and rose, his tall frame towering over them. His eyes seemed to take in every detail of their features but without the slightest hint of fear or aggression. "Well... I'm not lost," he said. "But I'd like to know who you two are. Demons? Angels? Or something else?" He drummed his fingers thoughtfully against a stone pillar.

Two girls stood in front of him, their faces lit with mischievous smiles. The one with dark hair had a hand on her hip and asked with a sarcastic smirk, "So what if we're humans? What then?". The other girl snickered, her eyes sparkling."

"That's right," The blond-haired girl cocked an eyebrow and smirked. "What if we're humans?" she asked. The other two laughed, crossing glances and nodding. Lucas couldn't help but crack a smile as if he knew that it was a lie.

"You know," he said as he stepped down from the platform. "I don't usually find humans dangerous."

The two women locked eyes, and their laughter momentarily died down. "You have pretty good instincts," one of them uttered. Suddenly, their clothing fell away to the ground, revealing pairs of wings sprouting from their backs. They glanced around, taking in the strange sensation, and marveled at the transformation. Their eyes changed to an intense and captivating deep reddish hue, almost like that of an angel's.

Both of them stood nude in front of him, their skin painted in intricate and mesmerizing patterns. Black tattoos seemed to climb up their bodies from the tips of their toes and fingers, stretching around their chests and bellies before ending near their necks. The markings coalesced into birds with outstretched wings, eyes that stared into his own, and coiling vines that curved and looped in mesmerizing shapes.

"B-Beautiful..." Lucas gaped in awe at the kaleidoscope of magical ink swirling across the bodies of those around him. Staggering closer to one dark-haired girl, he could see a riotous rainbow of hues spiraling along her arm. His breath caught in his throat as he reached a trembling hand out towards her tattoo on her hand. "C-Can I touch it?" he stammered.

"Feel free, Lucas." the dark-haired girl winked.

"Whoa." Lucas couldn't believe what his fingers felt; the sensation was unlike anything he had ever encountered. His fingertips lightly traced the intricate patterns of the tattoos, feeling the raw power and purity of angelic mana. He was so mesmerized that he almost missed it when she called him by name.

Lucas's eyes widened in awe as he lightly caressed the intricate tattoos winding around the girl's body. He could feel the heat radiating from her skin and smell the sweet aroma of her mana. The sensation of her pointy nipples pressing against his palm sent a wave of pleasure racing through him. His voice was a whisper as he asked, "How do you keep your mana so pure? Can I learn to purify my own?"

The dark-haired girl chuckled, and instead of answering him, she teased, "If you continue... I might moan." She put her arms around his neck and leaned forward to kiss him. But Lucas pushed her away.

"Not fair..." the blonde angel pouted. "I want to be touched as well."

Lucas felt his face flush as he stumbled over his words. "S-Sorry." He muttered, realizing what he was doing with the dark-haired girl. "Not interested." He told the blond, his voice was tight and strained.

The dark-haired girl placed a finger on the tip of his nose and moved it back and forth a little. "Do you know how long it takes for an untrained angel to purify a certain amount of tainted blood completely?"

"No idea..." he replied in a puzzled tone.

"A long time," The blond said as she grabbed Lucas's arm and placed it on her chest. "My mana is even purer."

Lucas's eyes widened as her body's soft and warm curves pressed against him. And that warmth, that buzzing power-it, her mana felt like sunlight but with a gentle pulse. Then, her wings wrapped around him, holding him close.

Her chest rose up and down slightly while he rested his head between them; she softly ran her hands along his shoulders, drawing patterns on them before tracing them over his neck and face until they reached his ears. Her touch sent shivers down his spine every time she touched one of them, which was now bright red from embarrassment because of their constant flirting. His breathing became heavier with each passing second, but suddenly, the two of them stopped moving when their bodies came into contact with the stone floor.

"What do you think, Lucas?" the blonde asked. "Whose mana was better?"

Lucas felt the color rising in his face as he looked from one girl to the other and noticed their matching smirk. He glanced at the blonde and saw her deep blue eyes twinkle, her light pink lips curving into a mischievous smile. He knew they were aware of who he was. His heart pounding, he slowly closed his eyes and gently pushed her away.

"Wait a minute," Lucas said. "How do you two know my name?"

"Eh?" the dark-haired girl exclaimed in confusion. "Don't tell me you don't know who we are?"

"Lucas... Answer us..." Blonde's eyes narrowed, and her jaw clenched as she leaned in, her voice low and steady. "Do you not remember us?"

"Uh... Should I?" Lucas raised one brow, perplexed.

The blonde gasped and placed her hand against her forehead. "Oh no..." then she grabbed the dark-haired girl by her shoulders and started shaking her. "Holy shit, Salathiel! I think Lucifer has amnesia!"

"No shit, captain obvious." Salathiel - the dark-haired angel said as she pushed away the blond angel. She sighed and gazed at Lucas. "I knew that we should have taken him from that dirt planet called Earth when he reincarnated, but nooo..." she pointed at the blonde girl. "You, Araniel, said he would be happy there!"

Two girls poured mana into the earth, and it turned into beautiful backless dresses so that their wings were free to move about freely without having to cover themselves. They wore matching golden necklaces around their necks; each had one made of pearls on the left and one of the rubies on the right. Both sets of jewels were perfectly matched. The blond's necklace was black with a white diamond, while her hair was pure silver.

"Come on! How should I know that that world had no mana in it?!" Araniel said with an exasperated expression as her chestnut locks danced along with her movements.

"Well..." Salathiel began, then paused for dramatic effect before adding, "Maybe, investigate the planet our king was reborn into!"

Lucas gazed at them, speechless. 'What did they just say? Lucifer? As in... the devil?' His eyes widened even more than they already were. 'Wait... What...' Lucas could no longer hear two girls arguing; his mind was occupied with other things now.

"So, what do we do now?" Salathiel asked impatiently. "Can we just bring him back to Eden and forget all that happened?"

"No!" the dark-haired angel protested. "Did you forget that our sister is stuck in Lightburn as well? We need Lucas's help in finding her before returning."

"Hold up... Girls." Lucas shook his head at the ridiculousness of this conversation. "Wait a minute. Lucifer? Seriously?"

Araniel giggled and leaned closer to Lucas. "Does that name ring a bell?" she asked hopefully.

Salathiel sighed and rolled her eyes. "Silly, there is Lucifer in Earth's lore," she said. "Isn't that right, Lucas Ciffer?"

Lucas started thinking and muttered. "Lucas Ciffer... Lu Ciffer... Lucifer."

The blonde girl raised both eyebrows while the dark-haired girl nodded slowly. "Yes! That was your name in the previous reincarnation!" Araniel smiled as she watched him think.

"Can you two leave?" Lucas said while staring intently at them. Their claims still shook him to the core. Then he added, "I need to take a short break from all this bullshit."

"Is something wrong?" the girls asked in unison as their gaze jumped between each other and Lucas.

"This... Is way too much information in one go, and you two bombarded me with it out of nowhere." He closed his eyes in disbelief for a moment before opening them again and looking directly into their eyes. Both girls returned his gaze without blinking for almost a minute until they heard the sound of footsteps outside the room they were in. They looked down at him with irritated expressions on their faces.

"Whose there?!" two angel girls asked in unison. Their voices shook the room as if it was going to burst into pieces at any second.

The door suddenly opened. Alena and her son Jacob entered the room just to feel the angel girls' bloodlust. They froze in fear as both quickly realized that the mana of girls was really similar to Lucas's.

"D-Deities..." Alena exclaimed and fell to her knees, begging for forgiveness. "We're sorry to intrude; I just came to tell Lord Lucas that my son has woken up!"

The girls started at Alena and Jacob with the intent to kill as they raised their hands, planning to kill the intruders. But they quickly noticed Jacob's mana and lowered their hands.

"Oh my." the girls exclaimed as they gazed at Lucas. "Did the king begin creating his army?"
