Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: “Assassin From the Skies”

🌫️ After the Trial

Kael, Zara, and Aeris step out of the Godhunter's Trial. The world feels colder—heavier. Kael's new blade, Dawnbreaker, pulses with divine heat at his side.

The headmaster, for the first time, looks... afraid.

"He forged a godblade," he mutters. "That confirms it… he really is…"

Before anyone can speak further, a shadow blocks the sun. A divine chill falls over the academy courtyard.

⚔️ The Arrival

BOOM.The clouds split open. A woman descends, standing atop a floating obsidian spear.

Black robes embroidered with cursed runes.

Eyes like dying stars.

No heartbeat. No mercy.

"By the order of the Heavenly Council, I sentence the soul of the Fallen God to eternal oblivion."

Her name: Seraphiel—Divine Assassin of Silence.

She was one of the gods Kael saved long ago. Now… she doesn't remember.

🚨 Kael Protects the Academy

Students scream. The ground begins to rupture. Magical shields are summoned.

Zara readies an ice wall. Aeris raises Dawnbreaker beside Kael.

Kael whispers:

"She's strong. One wrong move and the academy burns."

But he doesn't run.

He steps forward—his blade burning golden, eyes calm.

💥 First Clash

Seraphiel: "Die."

She vanishes. Reappears behind Kael mid-strike. But he blocks it with a divine parry—the same move he once taught her as a god.

She pauses, startled. Just for a second.

"You… know that form?"

Kael: "You used to laugh while using it."

BOOM. Their battle shakes the skies. Each strike causes divine echoes across the city.

💗 Harem Support in Battle

Zara summons a barrage of frost spears to intercept Seraphiel's lightning attacks.

Aeris channels mana into Kael's blade from afar, keeping Dawnbreaker burning.

Selene (watching in secret): "Even now… he protects others before himself. Foolish. Noble. I hate that it makes my heart race."

☀️ Turning Point

Kael refuses to kill Seraphiel.

He sees past her attack—into her soul, sealed and manipulated by divine chains.

He slashes through her spear, then speaks her true name.

"Seraphiel. Daughter of Silence. You once saved a child by breaking godly laws. I remember… because I was that child's guardian."

The chains on her body crack. Memories rush back.

She falls to her knees—shaking.

"I… I remember. You—why did they make us forget?"

🖤 Aftermath

The headmaster orders her taken for questioning. Kael refuses.

"She's no longer a weapon. She's a victim like me."

The divine council watches… and seethes.

Aeris kisses Kael's cheek. "Guess you're still a bleeding heart."

Zara elbows her. "And you are way too close."

They glare.

Kael sighs. "Great. Another war, and now a jealous fire mage and ice queen at my throat."

🌌 End Scene: Selene's Whisper

Selene watches Kael from a tower window, moonlight bathing her face.

"He's breaking every rule the gods built. And yet…"

She presses her fingers to her lips, remembering the night he saved her without knowing who she was.

"I think I want to break with him."
