Now, 5 days had already passed, pretty little time was left until they are able to retrieve there weapons.
Angeleva soared through space, her pink fairy wings shimmering against the endless void.
With her usual charm, she stopped at various planets, asking for directions.
However, the moment she mentioned Planet Satan, the reactions were always the same-pure terror.
Merchant: "Demon King Raven? Y-You must be joking! No one dares to go there!"
Angeleva (smiling): "Well, I'm not just anyone. Now tell me the way, or do I have to-"
With a bat of her lashes and a playful wink, the merchant fainted from nervousness.
Angeleva sighed. "Ugh, cowards."
Even her famous seduction tactics weren't working on these terrified beings.
She realized she'd have to rely on her own instincts.
"Fine. I'll find my own way."
She channeled her fairy senses, searching for the darkest energy in the universe-surely, it would lead her straight to Raven.
Safari, on the other hand, had no plan whatsoever.
Frustrated after getting no answers from the terrified people he interrogated, he stomped back into his spaceship.
Safari: "Tch. Useless. I'll just go wherever I want."
He punched a few random buttons, not even bothering to check his navigation.
Then, he just... flew off.
For hours, he drifted aimlessly through space.
He had no clue where he was going.
He was just going somewhere.
By sheer dumb luck, Safari's spaceship got pulled toward a gigantic, ominous planet covered in swirling black mist.
His system blared:
ALERT! ENTERING HOSTILE TERRITORY. EXTREME DANGER DETECTED.
Safari ignored it. "Meh. Can't be worse than that fairy's whining."
Without realizing, he had accidentally landed on Planet Satan.
At the same time, Angeleva-who had actually been tracking dark energy-arrived at the planet's entrance.
She saw Safari's spaceship crash onto the surface.
Angeleva blinked. "...Did he just randomly end up here?"
Safari stumbled out of the wreckage, dusting himself off.
Safari: "Phew. That was easy."
Angeleva sighed. "You're kidding me. I spent hours tracking this place, and you just-randomly got here?"
Safari smirked. "Guess I'm just that good."
Angeleva facepalmed. "You're an idiot."
Safari shrugged. "And you're annoying. Let's go."
Despite their bickering, they had only one day left before their weapons were fully absorbed by Demon King Raven's ritual.
If they failed, their Celestic Powers would forever become part of Raven's arsenal, making him unstoppable.
But instead of teaming up, they immediately started arguing again.
Angeleva: "I want to get back my weapon as fast as possible! Let's work together and-"
Safari: "Tch. I don't need help from some glittery, spoiled princess."
Angeleva: "And I don't need help from a brainless muscle-head."
Safari: "Fine. Go get yourself killed then."
Angeleva: "Same to you, mosshead."
And so, instead of forming a strategy...
They stormed off in opposite directions, both determined to take on Raven alone.
Angeleva gracefully flew over the ominous black castle, searching for an opening.
Using her fairy senses, she detected a barrier of dark energy surrounding the throne room.
She knew that brute force wouldn't work, so she decided to sneak in.
Angeleva cast an invisibility spell and slipped through the castle's massive gates.
Inside, she floated past demonic guards, silently making her way toward the pentagon chamber where her wand was being used in the ritual.
Her plan? Steal her wand back and escape before anyone noticed.
Simple. Elegant. Perfect.
Meanwhile, Safari took the complete opposite approach.
Instead of sneaking in, he marched straight up to the castle's entrance and kicked the doors open.
BANG!
Demonic guards immediately swarmed him.
Safari cracked his knuckles and grinned.
Safari: "Finally, some fun."
He started tearing through the guards, smashing them aside like ragdolls.
Without his hammer, he relied solely on raw strength, combat skills, and sheer stubbornness.
His plan? Beat the crap out of anything in his way until he found his hammer.
Not simple. Not elegant. But effective.
Inside the ritual chamber, Demon General Rebel watched the chaos unfold through a dark crystal.
Rebel (laughing): "These fools actually think they can stop the ritual?"
He then turned to the pentagon in the center of the room, where the Celestic Wand and Celestic Hammer floated, radiating immense energy.
Dark tendrils of power wrapped around the weapons, siphoning their legendary strength into Raven's body.
Rebel: "Just a few hours... and their power will be Lord Raven's."
Angeleva had reached the outer corridor of the ritual chamber, but the dark energy barrier was stronger than she sensed.
At the same time, Safari-after punching through an army of demons-finally reached the same corridor from the opposite side.
They locked eyes.
Angeleva looked annoyed. "Ugh. You're here?"
Safari cracked his neck. "Didn't expect you to last this long, princess."
They both glanced at the massive doors leading to Raven's throne room.
They had no choice now.
Angeleva: "...Fine. Let's do this together. Just this once."
Safari: "Tch. Don't slow me down, fairy."
With only few hours left before the ritual was completed, they charged in together.
_ _ _
As soon as they stormed into the chamber-
BOOM!
They were met with a powerful blast of dark energy.
The force sent them flying, crashing into the walls.
At the center of the room, standing in front of the pentagon, was Demon General Rebel, his crimson eyes glowing with sinister amusement.
Behind him, their Celestic Wand and Hammer hovered in mid-air, still surrounded by dark tendrils, feeding their energy into Demon King Raven.
Rebel (smirking): "You two are persistent. But this is where your journey ends."
He raised his hand, and suddenly, dark chains shot out from the ground, wrapping around Angeleva and Safari, immobilizing them.
Safari (gritting his teeth): "Tch... damn it."
Angeleva (struggling): "We were too late...!"
Rebel laughed. "Even if you weren't, what could you do? You're nothing without your weapons."
With a flick of his wrist, the chains slammed them into the floor.
CRASH!
They groaned in pain, barely able to move.
Despite the pain, Safari and Angeleva both refused to give up.
With sheer willpower, they broke free from the chains and charged at Rebel from opposite sides.
Safari went in first, throwing a powerful punch.
Angeleva followed, casting a binding spell to restrict Rebel's movements.
But it was useless.
Rebel easily dodged Safari's punch, then countered by grabbing Angeleva's spell mid-air and redirecting it at Safari, binding him instead.
Safari: "Damn you, fairy! Watch where you're aiming!"
Angeleva gasped. "You got in the way, mosshead!"
With Safari bound, Rebel delivered a devastating kick to his stomach, sending him crashing into a pillar.
Angeleva: "Ugh, I can't work like this! Stay out of my way!"
Safari (wiping blood off his mouth): "You stay out of my way!"
Rebel laughed at the scene and then
smirked, his body shifting and warping.
Using his ability-Shapeshifting.
He morphed into Safari, grinning wickedly.
Rebel (as Safari): "You entertained well. Now, let's see how strong you are against yourself."
Safari and Angeleva now looked serious.
Then, he morphed into Angeleva, fluttering his fake fairy wings mockingly.
Rebel (as Angeleva): "Or maybe I should show you how weak you really are?"
He finally shifted into a monstrous half-fairy, half-devil hybrid, combining their powers and fighting styles.
They both still continued to fight individually, refusing to coordinate.
But Rebel was too strong.
He blocked Angeleva's attacks with ease and overpowered Safari with brute strength.
Within minutes, both warriors were battered, exhausted, and barely standing.
As they gasped for air, Angeleva's eyes darted toward their weapons-still floating in the pentagon.
That's when it hit her.
Angeleva (thinking): "Wait... we're wasting our time fighting him."
She glanced at Safari, who was still glaring at Rebel.
Angeleva (thinking): "That idiot will never figure it out on his own."
She took a deep breath and smirked.
It was time for Plan Seduction.
Angeleva suddenly walked up to Safari, flipping her hair and batting her eyelashes.
Angeleva (sweetly): "Mosshead~"
Safari froze. "Huh?"
Angeleva wrapped her arms around his, leaning in close.
Angeleva (whispering): "Listen... If you want to win, follow my lead."
Safari turned red, completely caught off guard.
Safari: "W-WHAT ARE YOU-?! NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR-"
Angeleva smirked. "Just trust me for once, okay?"
Rebel raised an eyebrow, confused. "What... are you two doing?"
Angeleva giggled. "Oh, nothing~ Just preparing for our next move."
Safari gulped. He had no idea what she was planning.
But for now... he decided to play along.
