Angel who conquers hell

When Shay saw the soul floating in front of him, he had a desire to swallow the soul immediately, but decided against it, which he just managed to do, because he was on the verge of despair, which will be to his advantage later. The other angels, who saw this situation, that there was a soul, which was not yet swallowed, immediately looked with greedy glances at the floating soul.

Without knowing what was going on, he looked around and noticed the glances of the not busy angels as they stared at him. At first he thought they were going to kill him too, but that was a wrong thought, he realized only when he almost lost his first soul. Immediately several dozens of angels ran to the soul. At that moment Shay finally understood that they didn want to kill Shay, although in a way they already wanted to do it, since he looked so weak, but that they were on the hunt for his won soul.

So he quickly reached for the floating soul.

At that moment, a message appeared from the system:

– ”Soul received ”. You have received a soul of a lower level. However, this is not a normal soul, because they have received it from an angel. Angel souls are basically good souls and therefore worth more than normal souls.

From now on, you will see a new indicator in the ”Almighty ” status, which shows the number of souls you have in your ”Inventory ”.

[…]

→ Origin: Heaven

→Hierarchy: lower angel

→ strength: 5

→ ”new ” current souls: 1 low-grade, good soul.

→speed: 1

→magical power: 10

[…]

– It is possible for you to put souls that you find and collect into your ”inventory ”. This would be advantageous if you do not eat souls immediately, because souls automatically disappear after some time and will no longer be visible. The ”inventory ” is not only perfect for souls, but can also store anything you find and don want to work with right away.

As soon as Shay saw this message, he immediately realized how important souls will be. He didn know what to do with them anyway. He did see another angel swallow a soul earlier, but who knows what will happen after that. So he knew that he would put the soul in his storage and wait for the right moment to use it. Besides, the system explicitly recommended to keep the soul.

…

Only 2 hours have passed since his rebirth, but he has already experienced more than in his previous 26 years, which depressed him. However, there was no time to have depressed feelings, because after all he was not alone when he grabbed the soul. When he remembered this, he immediately looked around and saw 5 angels running in his direction. The other 20 angels, who were also chasing the soul, gave up because they were far too slow. The angels who stayed behind showed a different behavior directly after the ”hunt ” compared to the angels who were running towards me, because the other angels started to fight among themselves again.

At that moment it became clear to him how angels are influenced by souls.

In the past hours, angels kept killing each other for no reason and became aggressive when they saw a soul. Doesn that mean that the soul has some kind of ”passive ability ” that attracts angels? The angels, which run towards me, have no violence among themselves and are only hostile to the ”owner ”, which is me.

I would guess that the souls manipulate others and thus make angels aware of other victorious angels, in order to trump them in turn. I would be really interested in what would happen if I simply disappeared? Would the angels come back to their senses and fight each other again? This would make sense if you look at the angels who stayed behind.

At that moment Shay wanted to try out his thoughts and just disappear, but unfortunately that didn work and even worse, he now had to fight several angels at the same time. Since there were not only 2 angels that were on their way to him, but 5 angels he became very uncomfortable and wanted to run away immediately, since he defeated a single angel with a lot of effort.

Since Shay didn know how to defeat several angels at once, he immediately started putting distance between himself and his opponents. However, since he didn know how to use his angel powers properly and didn have time to ask the system, he didn really manage to escape. After running for his life for a minute, a very good thought came to him:

Didn the system say I could exchange souls for items? Its getting a little tight on drawing, though, so Id have to try to do just basic sketches. As long as the sketch has the meaning of the object, the system should theoretically be able to complete my thoughts, or am I wrong?

Therefore, while running away from his pursuers, Shay began to make a sketch of a weapon, which would be a pistol. Since he didn know what a souls value was to the system, he couldn possibly make huge weapons, but only small ones that he could use very easily. The first thing that came to his mind was a pistol, to be more precise a small revolver of the ”dan wesson ” type with 2.5 cm ammo.

So Shay opened a new page called ”Sketch ” and tried to draw a this revolver with simple lines. But the drawing reminded him more of a childs drawing than of a ”professional ” artist, which made him grin slightly.

Shay didn put much effort into it and didn have a chance to add any details since he wasn familiar with the system. After he was done after 2 minutes of further running and drawing, he tried to let the system materialize the revolver, however, the system could not proceed because the revolver had no attributes and as a result was worth several quadrillions of souls, as it had no restrictions and thus could do anything that could be imagined. Consequently, Shay was prescribed a lot in the future and he had to think carefully every time what to do with the souls and what he should rather skip.

But since he was running out of time and breath, he decided to get the revolver and 6 bullets and give it an extra name:

Item Revolver ”Inferno ”

A simple revolver without many details, which makes it not look special. Can deal deadly wounds.

Features: fires ammunition and can be reloaded if there are multiple bullets.

System: are you sure you want to materialize this item?

Shay was sure and as a result his first item was created with his new system and was ready to face his opponents. After materializing, this weapon was also in the system under ”Tools ” and thus can be modified at any time, which makes it easier for Shay since this probably won be the last time he gets into a fight.

However, he had to give up his soul for the weapon. Shay was a bit glad that he could suppress the urge that told him to eat the soul. He finally had the ability to take out several enemies at once, if the revolver really worked…because he wasn quite sure about the ”system ” yet.

Shay slowed his speed slowly and took out his ”Inferno ” from his inventory. Actually, he had imagined it to look quite different, as the revolver in his hand looked very blurry, as if the performance of a PC was not enough to load the graphics. However, this didn really bother him, because as long as he could ensure his survival, he didn care how or with what.

He turned around after a total of 600 meters and was determined that he would kill those angels now. When he turned around, he first saw only a big landscape, in which he saw only fighting and dead angels, which made permanent sounds, which drove him crazy. Moreover, he saw something completely new… ”eggs ” from the sky. Shay finally saw how the ”eggs ” got to this place and realized for the first time what kind of place he was actually in….

Looking around, he didn see much except soil and sand, lots of sand. The sand was very hot, which is probably why the ”eggs ” are brought here – it was the perfect breeding place. Moreover, they were in a kind of canyon, where he saw only no beginning and no end. If he had to estimate how wide the canyon is, he would say just under 2 miles. Of course, he knows that estimating with a human eye can only be done vaguely, however, at that moment Shay was 99 percent sure that this distance was correct. It felt like an angels eyes could measure much more accurate ” measurements ” than a human eye, but he wasn sure if every angel really had that.

However, since he didn think he was the only one who had more accurate eye sight, he preferred to stop sounding so aloof.

After looking further into the canyon, he saw cliffs on the sides, which had a waterfall, but it was not water, but air and clouds. And what did he see on the waterfall? It were the eggs in which angels should be. However, Shay imagined the ”birth ” of an angel differently. It felt too…normal. Besides, he couldn imagine how an angel would lay an egg. He really hoped that he would find out a little more about the birth of an angel later too. But the unbelievable thing about the eggs, which flowed down again and again and again and carried the other eggs further and further forward, was that there were not only 100 or thousand eggs, but 100000 and more, which came every minute! This continuously increasing number of eggs was probably also necessary for the angels, since these need to kill the demons, besides, not every angel manages to survive in this canyon. One could even say that there are more angels here than in the whole heaven together.

The canyon looked very beautiful, as they had many different plateaus, where plants and other vegetation grew. One indication of why the sand was warm for the eggs to hatch is the sun and the river that runs through the canyon. Shay approached the river and noticed that it was already several 100 degrees around it…he didn even want to know how many degrees the water actually had.

The river was warmed by a bright light. This light was so bright that people would go blind from it, but it seems that the angels have a ”resistant ” to light. Another attribute possessed by the angels?

As Shay immersed himself in the landscape, he was suddenly jumped by several angels. This was so unexpected that he just remembered that he was actually being chased by angels who wanted his preserved soul. But the angels knew nothing of Shays weapon.

Shay only fell down when the one angel hit him. But he didn let it get him down and immediately stood up with his ”Inferno ” in his hand, but quickly put it back into his inventory and not without any reason. He stood in front of 5 angels who wanted to kill him at any cost. Since the angels thought that Shay couldn do anything against them, they didn try their best and always attacked in pairs, which put a smile on Shays face. He even had to laugh a little bit.

[Haha]

The first angel came from the right and the second from the left. The angel on the right took a swing and tried to hit Shay in the stomach. The second angel, was smarter. He waited for Shay to dodge and wanted to attack him while dodging.

Shay saw the first angel coming towards him and was about to dodge when he noticed that the second angel stopped, which gave him the idea to attack him first. Shay took his revolver, which he hid in his inventory so they wouldn see him. He ignored the attack of the 1st angel and made a dodge roll so that the angel would have no chance to attack further. After Shay rolled, he took the revolver and aimed it at the astonished 2nd angel, who didn know what was happening. Shay aimed through the sight and tried to hit the heart. But since he had no experience with weapons, he didn hit the heart, but shot directly through the stomach and liver, which brought the angel directly to the ground.

Shay approached the angel with his fastest speed and saw the regeneration of the wounds begin… Shay didn know about this regeneration and now felt weaker as if he thought the shots were killing. To stop this process, this time he shot at the head. Since he was only 1 meter away, he managed to do this without any problems and thus killed the first of 5 angels. The result of the 2nd kill, from his new life, was another low-grade good soul.

Since the other three angels were still 50 meters away and could not help, they started to help out now.
