Chapter 4 - Twist with yellow power

Rambh looked at Aaika and said calmly,

"If it were that simple, I would have killed him long ago. That angel has already destroyed more than fifty of our demons, yet no one knows how he does it."

Aaika fell silent, thinking.

After a moment she asked,

"Then how will we kill him?"

Rambh replied,

"I have a way."

"What way?" Aaika asked.

Rambh smiled slightly.

"You will bring him here."

Aaika frowned.

"Give me until evening. I will bring him."

Rambh shook his head.

"Relax, my child. He cannot be brought here by force. If you want to bring him… it must be through deception."

Aaika looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

Rambh answered coldly,

"You will go to him… trap him in love, and then bring him here."

Aaika immediately refused.

"I cannot do that. Send Iren instead."

Rambh replied,

"Iren can change her appearance, but she cannot control her anger. I will not risk ruining my final plan."

He looked at Aaika firmly.

"You will go. That is my final decision."

With that, Rambh left.

Aaika stormed into her room, furious.

In anger she threw objects everywhere, breaking whatever she could find.

Just then Wish appeared.

"Why are you so afraid?" Wish asked. "Just go and trap him."

Aaika glared at her.

"I cannot even stand near that human for two moments. How can I trap him in love?"

Wish smirked playfully.

"You could always pretend."

Then she added teasingly,

"Or are you afraid… that you might actually fall in love?"

Before she could finish, Aaika attacked her instantly.

"Say that again and I will trap you in a prison worse than the one you came from!" Aaika warned angrily.

After some time, Aaika left the room to calm down.

Later, Rambh went to her room to talk to her, but when he saw the broken furniture everywhere, he understood she had left in anger.

When Aaika did not return for a long time, Rambh sent several demons to find her.When Aaika did not return for a long time, Rambh sent several demons to find her.

After some time, one demon came running back, badly injured. He collapsed in front of Rambh and said weakly,

"Aaika… has been captured…"

Before Rambh could ask anything else, the demon died.

Rambh immediately began searching everywhere. Soon he discovered the truth.

The dragon he had imprisoned for years had escaped, and it had captured Aaika using trickery.

Rambh rushed to the place where the dragon had taken her.

Iren followed him.

There, they saw Aaika trapped inside a magical cage, unconscious. Wish was also inside but remained invisible.

Rambh shouted at the dragon,

"Why have you taken my daughter? Your enemy is me!"

The dragon laughed.

"Killing you would be too easy. But killing this delicate flower will be far more satisfying."

Rambh attacked immediately.

But the dragon was powerful. Long ago, Rambh had captured it only with Amyera's help. Now Amyera was gone.

Even after many attacks, Rambh could not defeat it.

At that moment Aaika woke up.

Seeing her father struggling and weakened was painful for her. Rambh was weaker now because the heart he carried—Amyera's heart—did not possess the same power as the original one.

With a single strike, Aaika shattered the cage and rushed toward the dragon.

A fierce battle began. Aaika had gained tremendous power through years of training, and the fight was evenly matched. But the magical cage had drained much of her strength.

Both fighters were exhausted.

Suddenly Iren attacked the dragon, but the dragon turned her attack against Aaika, injuring her badly.

Even so, Aaika stood up one final time.

This time she unleashed her full power.

Normally her energy appeared red, but now it glowed bright yellow.

Seeing this, Rambh froze in shock.

For a moment he feared something impossible—

Was Aaika the second divine angel?

With that final burst of power, the dragon was defeated.

When Aaika approached Rambh afterward, he suddenly pushed her away.

Iren helped him stand.

Rambh looked at Aaika with suspicion.

"If I had known you were the second angel who would bring about my end… I would have killed you long ago."

Aaika looked confused.

Before anything else could happen, Wish appeared visibly and spoke.

"The power that killed the dragon was mine… not Aaika's."

Rambh stared in shock.

"I imprisoned you. How are you free?"

Aaika quickly said,

"I freed her. I'm sorry, Father. But I listened to her and now she stays with me. Please let her remain by my side."

Rambh thought carefully. He was relieved that his fear had been wrong.

But he warned her,

"This spirit belongs to divine powers. She could influence you. Destroy her."

Aaika replied firmly,

"If you want me to go to Earth and bring that angel here… you must allow her to stay with me."

Rambh hesitated, but finally agreed.

Two days later, when Aaika had recovered, she said to her father,

"I will go now… and bring him to you. I will do everything to fulfill your wish."

Rambh stood up, placed his hand on her head, and said softly,

"My daughter… succeed in your purpose."

Hearing those words gave Aaika a strange sense of peace.

And soon after…

she left to begin her mission.
