Heavenly Opposers

The atmosphere within the room had long since turned silent with a hint of awkwardness. The other ones had no idea what was going on, looking at the scene with narrowed eyes, while Azrail just stood striving to have his eyes meet Adria's, something which she had thought she lost with her chance of getting a second chance.

The curse that was placed on Adria is a very nasty one. For a chance for her to show her face again in life, she had to lose all the chances of her face being seen or even remembered by anyone again. Yep, that's the truth. Right now, any person who knew her face won't be able to remember it. They won't even be able to make out a bit of how her face even looks.

All the memories and everything that existed still remain, but how she looks has been removed from existence. And now, till the end of time, it would be that no one will be able to see her face at all. No one will even be able to record her face on anything that itself will be automatically removed. Nothing shall ever see or remember her face again.

That's the sacrifice that Adria had made. With her sight over the lesser fate, she had sacrificed something to the higher concept of Fate itself to get this chance. Hence, several threads of fate all around the cosmos were pulled altogether at the same time for her life to be given a second chance of revenge after she was bombarded by a group of the more powerful people in the cosmos.

It was a done-and-deal pull of fate that she made. It's not as if her face is being hidden by smoke or anything, it's just the fact that she no longer has a face. The fate lines she pulled to get things done, make it such that she doesn't have a face at all. Thus, in the past, present, and future, she has no face. Her visage was removed from everything.

If any recording had existed of her face, that would have been destroyed, making it such that she might get her revenge, but she would never be truly seen again. And Adria was fine with it. To get her revenge this seemed like a very small price for her to pay, she was more than willing to do it. But now, things have started to become different.

For now, stood in front of her, a boy that seemed to not be wrapped around the cover of Fate itself. It's as if the prize she gave is nothing to the boy in front of her. Thus, with her shock still filling all over her soul, she asked.

"How?"

To this, Azrail smiled, liking the fact that he was making a woman like Adria fully stunned. One that has stood at the summit and almost destroyed everything. The truth is just like in the first, he too wasn't able to see anything about Adria's face, it was fully destroyed in his mind. But everything changed the moment he gave her that soul energy, that being the changing point.

The moment he tried to make her soul stronger with the energy, he felt a resistance from something around her, as if a higher power wasn't allowing him to make her better. And Azrail could feel what it was, it was the deal Adria had made with Fate, who couldn't allow any changes to happen. But the moment Azrail tried to push further, Fate made its way for him.

As if some kind of powerful connection is to him, Azrail felt that Fate itself was giving him some sort of advantage as it grumpily allowed him to make Adria's soul better. The moment Azrail touched any soul, it didn't matter how well Fate removed anything, in front of Death, all became clearer than the sunniest day.

Azrail could tell that only he could see her, and it was all thanks to Death backing him like a proud Sugar Daddy Or Mommy? And that thought only brought a smile to Azrail's face as he spoke.

"We let's just say that any soul I touch, nothing of it can be hidden from me."

The mention of Azrail's words brought a scowl to Adria's face, looking so beautiful that even Azrail with all his mental powers felt his heart beat faster.

'Her charm is very dangerous.'

She was playing with his heart, and Adria wasn't even focused on using charm powers. It's just due to the fact that her charm is so high that it's causing a natural layer of charming control around her. Azrail is more than sure any person below the third heaven will directly turn into a fool and fall into mental shock from her beauty.

Her charm is high enough to induce the very rarely seen natural charm shock, that only a few beauties reaching the pinnacle of beauty can do. Their beauty is so powerful that your mind will just shut down from not being able to understand the beauty itself. And such beauties will easily be able to play with your mind after that.

'And Valencia will be able to do all that too in the future when she is more perfect.'

Valencia's beauty has just begun to bloom, there's a lot of her charm that has yet to be brought out. Just as Azrail was thinking this, Adria spoke.

"Bullshit."

Adria for the first time in her long life felt very annoyed, her eyes narrowing fully at Azrail as she spoke.

"Don't take me for a fool. I know the deepest price of what I paid, and it's not something that's going to change due to you having a higher connection to souls."

To this, Azrail just kept his smile, taking a step forward. The highest difference between them was huge as he looked up into Adria's eyes as he spoke.

"Then why don't you find out more about myself on your own? Aren't you the fate seer of all secrets, one said to have manipulated the secrets of the cosmos with fate itself? Then why don't see what more you can find about me?"

The challenge of Azrail's words being naked to the room.

'She's beautiful, I want her.'

Azrail thought, and he didn't hide his thoughts from Valencia, who looked at him with narrowed eyes. Azrail isn't doing all this just to make Adria angry. He didn't make her soul stronger, sneakily used the energy to start mending her broken soul points because they are just family, nah, he ain't that good a man.

The inner workings of his mind were indeed to get into the good side of Adria. Her mind, her powers, her knowledge all being extremely useful things that will be of great use to Azrail, who wishes to cover over the whole cosmos itself. And it's for that at the beginning he did everything he did to help Adria. The thought of romantically wooing this ancient virgin didn't cross much through Azrail's mind.

After all, even if he can help her to live again, without seeing how she looks, it's all useless to him. But now, after this sudden change, Azrail now has the desire to possess this beauty, that has never felt the love of a man, that is now slowly coming back to earth with her feelings that had turned dull long ago.

And with such feelings will come unknown new emotions and stuff that she isn't used to, and Azrail will be there every step of the way to take advantage of it. He won't be able to get her now with this childlike look of his, but he can pave a small path for it starting from now, and he won't be able to do it alone. Thinking so, he looked at Valencia, who was giving him a pout.

Yet within her mind's already running several plans on how to throw her dear teacher right into Azrail's clutches.
