Chapter 70 - Yuki the ice phoenix

So what's your name?

"My name is Yuki. What's yours?" Yuki replied.

I'm Aerin. So what are you doing sleeping out here?

"I'm the guardian of this place, or at least I was supposed to be," Yuki replied.

What do you mean you were supposed to be?

"Ever since Beelzebub arrived, I haven't been able to do my job and guard The Multiverse. He is just too strong, so ever since he got here I've been resting and watching as he eats entire universes, growing stronger," Yuki replied.

I see, so that's why.

Well maybe I can help. My job is to actually take down Beelzebub and the other Demon Generals, as well as The Morningstar eventually.

"Ha, good luck with that," Yuki replied.

I'm serious.

"I know, but I've been guarding this place since its birth at the dawn of time. I've seen beings come and go and even challenge Beelzebub just to be erased," Yuki explained.

Maybe this time it will be different.

"Maybe," Yuki replied as she closed her eyes.

Well, it was very nice meeting you. I guess I'll just continue my journey alone. Have a great rest.

"Hey!" Yuki said suddenly.

Yes?

"If you're going to beat Beelzebub, you are going to need some training," Yuki replied as she slowly opened her eyes.

I guess I will.

Back on Earth…

Your day of rest is up, time to get ready for some more training.

So, in order to teleport, it's actually quite simple. All you need to do is fold space over itself momentarily.

"How the heck do you call that simple?" Lio asked in disbelief.

I don't know, it's just simple.

"You are completely disconnected from reality," Lio added.

Haha, I guess I am.

Anyway, just try and visualize space as a piece of paper that you are folding in half.

Once you have that down, all you need to do is use your Aru to then warp space and fold space momentarily to transport yourself to another place.

Good luck.

Then Aerin stopped time once again and began the test…

Then they all began to visualize themselves folding space like a piece of paper and tried to fold space using their Aru. Nothing happened…

They tried again, and again, and again, and again. Nothing happened…

Until…

"Where did Arthur go?" Aelira asked, worried.

Don't worry, hunny, he's right by me.

"How did he get over there?" Aelira asked, confused.

How do you think?

"No, it can't be," Aelira said, shocked.

Yep, he folded space.

Well done, little man.

"Thanks father," Arthur replied happily.

A while later…

"Where is Lio?" Lyra asked.

With me and Arthur.

"Oh come on!" Lyra sighed.

Haha, you got this, girls.

A long while later…

"And now that Aelira disappeared, I'm assuming," Lyra said.

"Yep, I'm over here," Aelira said, waving from the bench her, Lio, Arthur, and Aerin were sitting on.

"Really?" Lyra sighed.

You got this!

Then finally…

Haha, well done all of you.

It took you guys a while, but you all got it. I'm proud of you all.

Tomorrow is your last day of training. After tomorrow, it will be entirely up to you to train for the few remaining hours.

Get some rest. I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Then Aerin made time flow once more…

The next day…

Alright, your last lesson will be on a divine ability called Divine Protection.

The ability is only to be used if you are in danger and have no other choice.

The ability will make your enemy disintegrate no matter if they are a physical being or a non-physical being, but at the cost of there being a 50% chance of you dying.

I can bring you back, but I'd much rather not see any of my family die.

Then Aerin put his hand on each of their shoulders and put the knowledge of the ability in their minds…

Alright. Everything else is up to you.

Then the day finally came….

The Earth began to shake, and four evil fallen angels were released into the city…

"You guys ready?" Lio asked.

"Ready," Lyra, Aelira, and Arthur replied as their faces turned serious.

In the sky above…

I did all I could for the time being, now it is entirely up to them.

To be continued…
