Chapter 92 Arc 2 - Sarah Finds Out The Truth
To Lilith's horror and Lucas's joy, Sarah nodded and bit the apple. Then she frowned as if it was the most disgusting thing she has ever tasted.
"Sour!" she exclaimed.
Lucas chuckled. "It is like acid, haha!" he looked at Sarah, who didn't seem to be bothered by it too much. "How do you feel?" he asked and walked to Sarah, he placed his hand on her forehead to check if she was changing. But her mana flow was just as it was before she ate the apple.
"Well, that's weird." Lucas's burrowed his brows as he continued checking Sarah's mana flow. But it was as stable as before. "What the hell?!"
Lilith showed her left hand, revealing a golden apple. The apple burst into flames as she released her mana. "You mother fucker actually gave Sarah a fruit of purity?!" she exclaimed while pointing at Lucas. "What is wrong with you?!"
"How did... Oh..." Lucas came to a realization. Lilith created a regular apple that simply had a golden color. "Clever girl."
"Show me your bag!" Lilith shouted and grabbed Lucas's bag that contained another golden fruit from Eden. She destroyed the second fruit as well before yelling. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
Lucas just shrugged and it infuriated Lilith even more.
"Y-You!" Lilith pointed at him, "Those girls are a bad influence on you!" she exclaimed while putting her hands on her hips and standing in front of him. "And I will undo that!" she declared, looking down at him with fire in her eyes.
"Lilith..." she heard a mumbled voice.
"What?" Lilith turned to Sarah, to see her smiling. But something about that smile made Lilith feel shivers down her spine. "W-What's wrong?" Lilith asked, confused.
"What girls are you talking about?" Sarah tilted her head and looked at Lilith. "Is Lucas dating someone?" she asked in a cold tone and took a step toward Lilith.
"I... Misspoke!" Lilith stuttered. "It was just a joke."
"Out of all the bullshit you two spoke, this sounded most believable." Sarah pointed at her and then she looked at Lucas. "Lucas, can you tell me, who was she talking about?"
"Uh... It's not important. Why?" Lucas raised his brows as he asked. He was genuinely surprised at
Lilith's reaction, but then again, she had been acting strange for some time now.
"Because..." Sarah leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear. "You declined to go on a date with me, but now going around with other girls? Auch." she placed her hand on her chest as if her heart was aching.
Lucas frowned and shook his head as he replied, "No! I am not dating anyone!" he grabbed Sarah's shoulders and squeezed hard. "I swear I am not dating anyone!" he exclaimed. Then thought hit him, 'Wait, why do I even care what she thinks?'
"Are you lying to me?" Sarah leaned closer to Lucas. The look on her face was that of a predator who caught his prey.
"No!" He pushed himself from her and shouted, "I AM NOT DATING ANYONE!!" he looked down at his feet and stepped back.
"Oh really?" Lilith smirked and asked "What about Salanthiel and Ala... Uh... Araliel?" her eyes narrowed and she folded her arms across her chest as if daring Lucas to say anything.
"Salathiel and Araniel." Lucas fixed her spelling, then realized that he messed up. He felt a cold gaze on him, but ignored it and instead looked at Lilith. "Y-You bitch..."
"Bitch?" Lilith asked with an innocent expression "I have not said anything that can be considered bitchy..." She gasped and raised a hand to her forehead, "Oh... Oh no! Did someone got caught cheating?"
"I and Sarah are not even dating!" Lucas yelled out.
"Then why the fuck are you giving her a fruit of purity?!" Lilith yelled back at him. "Why do you want to turn her into an angel?!" Lilith returned to the old topic, which made Sarah irritated.
Before Lucas could answer anything, Sarah stood between them and said, "You two are changing the subject!" Sarah interrupted them both. She gazed at Lilith, then turned to Lucas and asked. "What the hell are you two even talking about here? What fruit of purity... What are angels?"
"An angel is a powerful deity-like being." Lucas smiled as he explained. "Angels are beings of pure cursed energy and are comparable to gods themselves." he put his hand on Sarah's shoulder and continued talking to her. "And you can become one.." He smiled as he pointed at her, then added with a playful tone "Didn't you say you want power? As an angel, you would have that."
"Huh?" Sarah blinked a couple of times in confusion. "What are you talking about?" she asked him. Then, Sarah was still confused as she turned to Lilith. "What is he talking about?"
"Sarah... I don't know what to say anymore." Lilith sighed. There wasn't much reason to hide it from her as Lucas didn't bother to hide the truth either. She decided that it would be best to tell her the truth and let her decide whether she would take the fruit or not. "He's telling the truth. Sarah... Lucas is an angel."
"HUH?!" the confusion within Sarah continued growing as she stepped back. She looked at Lilith and Lucas as if they lost their minds. "What happened to you two?" she asked as she noticed that the two of them weren't lying. Her mana could sense that both of them were speaking the truth. The only reasonable explanation was that the two of them believed what they were saying and went mad.
"Sarah... Dear Sarah, feast your eyes on this!" Lucas smirked as he extended his hands demonstratively and slowly levitated up. On his back appeared a pair of black feathered wings that created massive gusts of wind behind him.
"My god..." Sarah's jaw dropped as she watched him transform before her eyes. She could barely believe her own eyes as she thought 'Could this be an illusion?!' or 'This must be some sort of trick.' But then Lucas quickly appeared beside her and picked her up into the air; she knew this couldn't be an illusion. It was real! "Oh god!" Sarah clung tightly to Lucas as she was afraid that he might accidentally drop her.
"God? Not exactly." Lucas chuckled and then pointed at Lilith. "That's god."
"W-What?!" Sarah stared at Lilith in horror, "L-Lilith is a god?!"
"Yes," Lilith replied in an emotionless voice, "Well, I am a girl. So a goddess." pair of white feathered wings appeared behind her back and she instantly appeared in front of Lucas and Sarah.
"T-Then your father..." Sarah's eyes widened. "Is he a holy god?!" she asked in shock.
"Yes," Lilith said calmly. She had been expecting such a reaction from Sarah. She couldn't blame her for that, because if someone told her that she would be an angel or a god, then she'd be quite shocked as well. "Jerk, where are you taking her?" She asked as she flew right beside Lucas.
Lucas smiled as he was flying in Snowland's direction. He gazed at Lilith and said, "To Eden. I want to introduce her to Salathiel and Araniel." He noticed that Sarah's grip tightened and exclaimed. "No, I am not dating them."
He couldn't believe that even in this situation Sarah would still react like this when he mentioned other girls.
"How does it feel to be flying?" Lucas asked Sarah.
Sarah's eyes were still wide as she couldn't force herself to close them. She held on tightly to Lucas as she felt that he might accidentally drop her.
"D-Don't drop me, okay?" Sarah asked, her body trembling.
"Oh, I'm not going to drop you. Relax." Lucas smiled as he looked down at her, but it wasn't his usual smug smile. He looked like a man who has seen something beyond his wildest dreams. "It feels amazing! Flying is the best!" he shouted as he released his hold on her and glided through the air.
Sarah's eyes were wide as she looked down at the ground far below her. She saw snowy land and mountains. A cold breeze blew from somewhere and the chill of the air made Sarah shiver slightly.
"Lilith, create some warmer clothes for Sarah, please," Lucas asked.
Lilith extended her hand, and after the golden glow engulfed Sarah, a warm fur coat appeared on her shoulders. She was still wearing the same uniform she had on earlier but with a fur coat on top of it.
"Thank you!~," Lucas said, playfully. He gazed at Sarah and said, "Being an angel has lots of privileges. Imaginable amounts of mana, flying, immortality, and many more." Lucas wanted to show Sarah the benefits of being an angel, but he wanted her to experience flight firsthand.
"I could have just got us teleported there, but I wanted you to get used to flying before I turned you into an angel." Lucas said to Sarah, who was now calmer. "There it is!" Lucas exclaimed as he noticed his temple on top of a tall mountain. "Sarah, look." he pointed at the temple. "Our gate to our new world." He smiled.
"You asshole, don't speak as if she decided to become an angel. Not yet." Lilith gritted her teeth. "First tell her about the bloodlust, corrosive mana, and about how you constantly kill people!"
"Huh? Kill?" Sarah gazed at Lucas worriedly. "Y-You kill people?"
