Chapter 421 Dancing Above The Battlefield
Maeve went still before she resumed fighting with much more passion, Nezrakim sighed and knocked her out with a tap on her forehead. He was already ten thousand miles up in the air and was joined by Dora, they were about to push their speed when the ground below them shuddered, and the air shook.
Below them, the air turned a shade of black and red, as screaming bolts of destruction arose from the ground.
"Wow…." Dora drawled, "It is so magnificent when you look at it from this side."
Below them the Tiberius Family Lance of Destruction had fired, tens of thousands of missiles that were hundreds of feet long and traveling at five times the speed of sound had been launched and the ascending Angels were in the way, or they were the target.
Nezrakim did not care for attacks of this speed coming from so far away, he placed a protective spell on Maeve's body and he shook his wings a hundred times in four seconds, accelerating to Mach 9, which was nine times the speed of sound.
He transformed into a golden beam that shot towards the heavens. Dora on the other hand laughed and began to dance.
Her magnificent Angelic form moved through the screaming missiles as they barely brushed her, missing only by a single inch. She even closed her eyes and reduced her senses, letting her instinct guide her through a field of destruction.
In her heart, she understood that with the Creator's light on her side, she would walk through a field of death and emerge unscathed.
This magnificent sight was seen by Dominators, Mages, and Demons, and for a short time, this corner of the battlefield was silent. Her flaming wings, her supernatural graceful movements, and her golden body, all held her audience in awe, and for those that were weak weak-minded, a feeling of adoration began to arise in their heart.
The missile barrage ended much to her disappointment, Dora soon flapped her wings and vanished into the horizon, as she caught up to her counterpart.
"Was that really necessary?" Nezrakim sighed, and only the giggle of Dora replied him
The moment both Angels broke through the barrier of the sky and stepped into space, Rowan used their eyes to see the so-called Palace of the God King.
It was made from wood, and fourteen moons were rotating around the Palace like jewels, this goes to show how large this palace was, making Erohim Divine Palace resemble a kid's playground.
There was a vast and powerful Will that was encircling this Palace and Rowan was careful not to come in contact with it. For the will felt sharp as if it could cut through anything in existence.
If he was not wrong then it was very possible that this Palace was made from the bones of his mother, and was been displayed for the entire world to see. Not content in just killing her, he had also made a Palace out of her bones.
Rowan placed this affront in his heart beside the many he had already listed. He had sent the lights of Astrolabe ahead of him even before he contacted the Angelic duo on the battlefield.
With its new speed, twelve seconds later a milky white light enveloped both Angels and they vanished from sight.
A few seconds later a figure appeared in the area where the Angels vanished from, after looking around for a long time using various mystical methods as it searched for traces and found none, the figure soon vanished.
A constant stream of investigators also came to this location and tried as much as they could to investigate this area, but they all left disappointed.

Rowan pulled both Angels across space and deposited them on a planet just outside the Nebular galaxy. This place was outside the reach of the Empire and there was a safe house there created by Eva.
It was an abandoned mining planet that was filled with countless tunnels, deep inside these labyrinthine structures was the Safehouse Eva built for emergencies and other purposes.
She had created such Safehouses on hundreds of planets, a single Angel was given the task of constructing such safe houses throughout the galaxy.
They placed the sleeping Maeve at the safe house and they both vanished as Rowan recalled them to his side. It was too risky for him to bring Maeve to his current location, for there would undoubtedly be trackers placed on her body.
Yet he felt the risk was worth it to bring her away from the control of the Empire. There was no way to actually track the movements of Astrolabe through Space and he was not worried that he could be tracked back to his location.

Rowan sighed as he pulled his mind away from the Angels, he took a little longer than expected and two minutes had already gone by but he had accomplished the tasks he wanted fulfilled.
He opened his eyes and smiled, his face lighting up as Diane fell into his arms while weeping.
"You are awake…. You are awake. I'm so glad." She said through her tears as she buried her face into his stomach.
'She did not grow tall, even with a trace of my power flowing in her vein.' Rowan thought.
Rowan smiled and patted her on the head, and he looked to his left where Eva had arisen. Her black eyes were deep like the ocean, but Rowan could see the astonishment inside them as she looked at her mortal form.
Tears slid down her eyes as she looked at Rowan, he could see surprise, joy, apprehension, and many subtle emotions that were flooding her mind.
Rowan could understand part of her emotions, the prospect of having her own mortal form after all these while was a great surprise as she would never have thought that this sort of change was possible.
Although she was happy, she was undoubtedly afraid about her future and purpose, suddenly the person that she was inextricably linked to was now separated from her and she could feel the void that he left behind.
