Charlus grabbed the neck of Ubaid. Ubaid immediately realized he was in trouble. He quickly let go and was ready to run away. Charlus reached out to a dagger from his inventory and threw it with his free hand.

The dagger flew and embedded itself right into Ubaid\'s leg. Ubaid fell onto the ground with pain.

Charlus freed the rest of his limbs from the rods beside him. Charlus stretched his arms once he became free. He yawned.

.

"How long was I asleep for?" Charlus asked Ubaid.

Ubaid tried to crawl away from Charlus but Charlus didn\'t let him. He grabbed Ubaid by his leg and dragged him back well into the room.

"How long was I asleep for?"

Charlus came close to Ubaid and asked him.

"Just a couple of hours. Please, let me go."

Charlus smiled. He bent to come close to Ubaid.

"Now, tell me what this ring you are running here is all about and I\'ll let you go." Charlus snarled.

Ubaid shivered.

"We are just experimenting on that rock. It\'s... it\'s phenomenal. Groundbreaking. The rock heals anyone who is near it! Anyone! You were supposed to die... but the stone healed you! Think about the implications!" The man started rambling.

"Yes, but what happens after you bring the sick people you kidnapped here?" Charlus looked at Ubaid.

"We... we uh let them go," Ubaid answered, gulping.

Charlus chuckled.

"You really expect me to believe that?" Charlus looked slowly at Ubaid.

"Tell me the god damn truth!"

Charlus roared, scaring Ubaid. Ubaid backed away from Charlus.

"We... we take them apart and do experiments. We need to completely understand how the energy works." Ubaid was frightened

Charlus took his Azrael\'s scythe out.

He used [Judgement].

"Thy have been deemed sinful!"

Charlus got the judgement. He swung his scythe at Ubaid, decapitating him. Well, the scythe went through his body but didn\'t really dismember him. 

Charlus looked around. The only thing of interest was the huge stone that was near Charlus. Charlus went near it.

When Charlus got close to it, he felt a warmth from the stone. Charlus was compelled to move closer to the stone. Charlus complied with this and approached the stone. He was drawn so close to the stone that it was mere centimetres away from his face.

Charlus touched the stone with his hand. Charlus felt his hand warm for a second. Then he felt an intense cold feeling from the area he touched the stone. He wanted to draw his hand away but his hand wouldn\'t budge.

Charlus felt his energy was drawn away but he couldn\'t do anything. Charlus watched helplessly as all his stamina was drawn away. Charlus stayed in that position for a long time until Charlus felt he was about to pass out. 

The stone showed signs of cracking. A long crack appeared right in front of Charlus. He saw a thin line form in front of him. Charlus immediately stepped back.

This time, Charlus\' hand was able to separate from the stone. Charlus stumbled onto the ground. He was watching everything happen with disbelief. 

The stone slowly formed cracks all over the body of the stone. Meanwhile, Charlus heard a huge siren ring. Charlus sighed. 

He couldn\'t lift a single muscle, the stone in front of him that had drained him of his energy was now cracking open and now the people who run the place noticed that Charlus had broken free and had killed the researcher. 

Charlus saw the stone completely crack open just as soldiers entered the room. Charlus saw a huge light flood the room. Charlus closed his eyes in response to the blinding light. 

[All ailments have been cured]

When Charlus opened his eyes, he was no longer feeling the same exhaustion he was feeling earlier. Charlus looked ahead and saw a vague human outline in place of the stone.

The human outline slowly became clear. Charlus was barely able to make out a girl. The girl came near Charlus. Charlus saw the girl\'s face clearly as she came closer.

If Charlus could describe the girl\'s face with a single word, it would be... angelic. The girl\'s face to Charlus was simply without imperfections. Her bright green eyes drowned Charlus in the life behind them. Her red lips were curved in a smile. Her hair was silver in colour with a green tint in the ends. 

Charlus saw as she came close to Charlus. She stared into Charlus\' eyes as she drew closer. Charlus suddenly felt an impulse to release his wings. The closer the girl drew near Charlus, the more he wanted to bring his wings out. 

Charlus was able to ignore this impulse in the beginning but as she drew closer, Charlus was more confused than angry that he couldn\'t control his impulse. Why did he want to bring his wings out?

Charlus was finally able to look past the perfect face of the girl past her where Charlus saw two pairs of white wings coming out of the back of the girl. Charlus saw a tint of green at the edges of these wings.

Charlus was stunned. He did not think he would be seeing an angel, and this girl seemed more angelic than human. As for Charlus, he felt human and never took his wings out unless he needed them and didn\'t really act like a god\'s angel.

The girl finally came closer than Charlus thought she would. The girl stopped right when her face was right in front of Charlus. She then reached out with her arms. She gently held Charlus\' face with her dainty hands and drew close. She sealed Charlus\' lips with her own.
