Next, Cogra saw something that he never expected.
"Belmeive! What the hell you are doing here?"
"I am here to tell you something important. Don't worry, I am not your final opponent," She was seen in white angelic robe with her white feathery wings flapping repeatedly.
"I see. Is it about why I am the chosen one?"
"Yes. Do you know the Zard incident?"
"Yes. My father is the direct cause of the incident. If he does not interrupt the demon slayer ritual that he did, lort Wirt would have defeated it and everything can be restored to peace,"
"Unfortunately, the interruption of the ritual did cause mental problems on the demon lord himself. We are currently suspecting some of his henchmen used such insanity to invade other realms on their own. Plus, that demon lord is a saint accidentally wandered into the realm of satan and shot by an arrow contain dark energy. Without the arrow with light energy, he is unstable, even without the Zard incident,"
"So, how about those cursed saints?"
"150 years ago, the people started to revolt against the monarchy. 120 years ago, monarchy were fully abolished in favor of democracy. 60 years ago, after a successful urbanization and launching of space stations, they wage wars with Yedrei continent, trying to install democracy in Yedrei with hints of global domination. This doesn't count how much pollution that they had made through those years. This is why the cursed saints exists,"
"Then why the floating platform is placed there?"
"That country starts everything I said before. Plus, they have no mountain paths which can have cursed saints. The platform might fall already. If they fail the challenges that the gods have set to them, they will have to suffer for at least 100 years. But I think they will pass this,"
"I see. What will you do when I am away? The goverment of Tziac must have gone nuts over my disappearance,"
"I have to hide somewhere. Perhaps returning to the realm of heaven and report everything," Cogra suddenly looked sad.
"Please, don't leave me. I think...no, I am very sure that...I love you," Tears were seen on his face. She walked towards him and hugged him, trying to calm him down.
"Don't worry too much. I will return to your side once everything is over,"
"Don't lie to me. I would not forgive you if you don't return. I will risk my life to get up there to find you if I have to," An awkward silence embarrased them briefly before they kissed.
"The adventures that we have gone through together...I won't forget them at all,"
"Me too," A magic circle appeared at the center.
"It's time for me to go. Good luck for your final battle,"
"Thank you," Cogra cried when Belmeive walked to the magic circle and teleported away. Then, an odd voice was heard from nowhere.
"You are now entering the final challenge. Please step onto the magic circle,"
"I thought that it was just her way to move around. Looks like I have to switch places, then," He walked to the magic circle and he was teleported away with his eyes closed as he was sleeping. Upon opening his eyes, he was shocked that he thought he was at the very same platform he fought the cursed saint, complete with the view of the country below him.
"This is not the platform where you are fighting against the cursed saint," He was terrified when he thought he saw Belmeive again. "I am not that angel companion of yours. I am her battle data collected by the gods, the ultimate cursed saint, Kosong,"
"I see," Cogra took out his laser pen and a laser blade was seen extending from the pen's tip.
"This is nothing but an illusion. Can you reveal the actual identity beneath it? Let's fight!" The final stage starts....
