86. Mikee`s Secret

Clemen jumped down and landed on the hard ice. He looked at his step. Grimm's power is really unique. An entire river has been able to harden it with a small percentage of its capacity. He approached the woman who was staring at him sharply. He looked at its face.

"You know, I don't understand why you chose to be a demon and just stay in this place for so long."

Although he could see the anger in the woman's eyes, tears welled up in her eyes. From above, Grimm also jumped up and approached them. The woman spoke.

"Like I said, I will not leave this place because I am waiting for someone! I can't stop by death!" it said harshly.

"You have been waiting for a long time. He would never come. It would be better if you just keep quiet in the afterlife and don't kill the innocent. What you are doing is nonsense."

"But that demon told me that the man I love will come when I wait here and if I kill many... This bridge is our meeting place, I know, he will come." the woman said puzzled.

Clemen sighed violently and scratched his neck.

"It's just a deception. You shouldn't trust that creature. He tempted you."

Clemen started making pentagrams around the woman. Gradually its surroundings light up and gradually disappear.

"Nooo! Nooo! Please! Do not drive me away from this place! I'll just be here and wait- "

It did not finish what it was supposed to say because it had completely disappeared. Clemen looked at Grimm.

"Is love really crazy?" suddenly the young man retorted.

Clemen laughed a little.

"I think so."

Meanwhile... Instead of going home, Victor returned to Mikee's house. He just texted Orphen that he had an important walk. He did not know how long he had been watching over the tree near Mikee's house. He could not really allow him not to know what it was keeping secret. Moments later, Mikee left the house and went to the forest.

"It's late at night ah? What can he do in the woods?"

He smiled and simply followed it. It was unaware of his presence until it stopped in the middle of the forest. He also stopped in following it. Mikee stood in the middle and was quiet until...

"I know you've been watching me for a while. It 's better if you just go out there where you are hiding." this language is gentle.

Victor came out of hiding. He was even more surprised when he saw that Mikee was calm and it seemed that he expected to see him.

"What do you need from me?"

A sly smile appeared on Victor's lips. He teased looking at Mikee's face.

"I know you have a secret. And I'm here to find out what it is. It would be better if you just told me that. Don’t let me force you."

Mikee looked at him in amazement.

"What are you saying?" suddenly its language.

Victor drew five knives from his right hand.

"Don't play innocent. What strange thing did you do there on the cursed tree? An ordinary person can't do that."

Mikee just shrugged at him.

"I did nothing strange there except to find the head of the decapitated corpse to calm his soul and free him from the curse. Father Clemen taught us a little so it is not surprising if-"

Mikee could not continue what he was supposed to say when a knife suddenly sank near his foot. Victor looked at him seriously.

"Like I said, don't force me to make you talk. I do not feel the aura of man, nor the aura of the demon or malignant... What are you really?!"

"I'm Grimm's friend."

"Wrong answer!"

Victor hurriedly threw a knife but Mikee quickly averted his attacks. It moves fast.

"Let's talk about it, Victor." its calm language.

"We're already talking, aren't we?"

After that, Victor pulled out a gun in both hands and immediately pointed it at Mikee. After that, he aimed his target one after the other. He was slightly surprised because all his bullets were avoided by it. Now, he has further proved his suspicion that there is something strange about Mikee's personality! He did not stop aiming here until...

"URGH!”

A powerful force struck Victor. He rolled over but he also got up immediately. He saw Mikee facing him and smirking.

"I knew it, you have a secret." he spoke emphatically.

"I have no secret." its gentle answer.

"Don't round my head."

He pointed the two guns at Mikee again. It did not even shake at what he did.

"Will you shoot me?" Mikee’s sudden question.

He was slightly taken aback by that question. But when he recovered, a frugal smile appeared on his lips.

"If you don't tell your secret, Yes!" he answered quickly.

Mikee looked at the guns he was holding then at his face.

"I have nothing to tell you." its language.

"Is that so?!"

Victor quickly touched the trigger of his guns. He hit Mikee near his foot but it did not even move from its position.

"Do you think I'm just going to be scared? I know you used to mean not to hit me. Here I am in front of you, shoot me if you can."

Victor raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so?!" he exclaimed.

He pointed his guns at Mikee's face and aimed his forehead. He stared at its face for a long time and waited for a moment for the gun to hit... He did not know but as he stared at its face he could not touch the trigger of his guns. He was surprised when his hands suddenly trembled. He slowly lowered his hands holding the gun and voluntarily disappeared them.

"Buwiset!" he swear angrily.

He did not know if that was for Mikee or for himself. He looked at it again.

"Aren't you really going to speak?!" his disgusted language.

Mikee folded his arms.

"Why? Should I say something?"

"You're such a liar!"

He fired a sharp samurai sword and quickly attacked Mikee. He is really serious. But he was shocked when he grabbed the sword he was holding with only his two fingers in his right hand. He looked at his face calmly.

"You're too naughty." its language.

Because of that he seemed to feel a strange intimidation. He suddenly backed away.

"Who are you really?"

Mikee let out a violent sigh. It stroked his forehead and parted a few strands of bangs. It looked up at the sky and then looked at his face.

"You know kid, you're so naughty."

He was stunned when Mikee's voice suddenly changed. That has matured. And he was even more surprised when Mikee himself became matured. He was shocked to release the weapon he was holding. He felt a strange aura. He backed away slightly and suddenly, he was also sweating.

"W-Who are you?" he just asked in shock.

A frugal smile appeared on the lips of the man who was in front of him.

"I am Michael-one of the Seven Archangels. I have been assigned to watch Grimm since he came here into the world of people. I looked to see if he would be an opponent or ally. And I am thankful because he chose the right path. I also need to ensure the safety of the people with him because they have nothing to do with the secret war going on. And you Victor... Thank you for taking our side. I didn't want to tell you my secret but I was so annoyed. Oh dear!"

Victor did not know if he was deaf or what. As far as he knew, he was just dumbfounded and his lips were open. He said nothing. Mikee's Grandmother came out of the darkness. He was even more stunned when her appearance also changed. He became a handsome man.

"Yoh! I'm Raguel, I'm also one of the Seven Archangels. And I'm with Michael watching over Grimm. I'm pretending to be Mikee's Grandma. When you were around the house earlier, we already knew what you were up to. We just let you go but You just have too much awkwardness."

Victor blinked a few times.

"D-Did Grimm know you were-"

"He doesn't know yet. You were the first to know my secret, Victor. I hope you keep it." Michael interrupted whatever he was going to say.

He hesitated to look at the faces of those in front of him.

"Don't you have any plans to tell Grimm your secret?"

"That will also happen. But not yet. You know, Victor. There are things that need to be given a little lie. Not all lying is bad." Raguel said.

Michael looked at his watch.

"It would be better if we just talked at home in depth. It's time to eat dinner. You're hungry, aren't you?"

Victor just nodded. Raguel approached him and walked over. He swallowed because he did not know how he should feel. Will he be scared or what? Archangels are with him and he is an assassin demon. They returned home and faced each other at the dinner table.

"You know, Victor... We are fond of you and Grimm. Both of you are hope. And did you know that the Seven Prince of Hell were also angels before? It was just that they became bad so they started a war in heaven. They are the source of the seven sins. But anyway, I know you know how to keep a secret."

Raguel gave him a simple wink. He swallowed. He did not know if that was a warning or what.

"Don't scare him." said Michael.

"I'm not scaring him."

Victor just looked at the two. Even before he made a decision, it seemed certain that they would not tell their secret to Grimm. He let out a deep sigh and looked at the glass in front of him.

"If I tell you your secret, will you kill me?" he asked boldly.

The two looked at each other and then suddenly laughed.

"No." Michael answered quickly.

"But, we will punish you." Raguel suddenly added.

An awkward smile greeted Victor.

Meanwhile... Clemen and Grimm are still at the bottom of the river. The frozen water remained hard because of the power of the latter.

"I think you are even stronger than before." Clemen said to Grimm.

Amaze that the young man looked at his teacher.

"Really?"

"Yes. Only a small part of your power caused this whole river to turn to ice. Do you have any idea how long it is? Look and we will not see the end of it."

Grimm clenched his fists tightly.

"But I still lack strength. I have not defeated Belphegor yet. He can even expel me with just a flick of his finger."

Clemen looked at Grimm. It seems to have memorized how strong the father was. He did not comment. A strong wind suddenly blew and they were both surprised to see the white-devil standing in front of them.

"Kuya Gaunt!" exclaimed Grimm.

Clemen prepared. He will never forget this white-devil... He clenched his fists tightly to restrain himself. Gaunt looked at them seriously.

"I have come to do your condition, Grimm. Is he Father Clemen?"

Clemen glared at Gaunt.

"It's me! Finally, we met too. Didn’t you raise me to be an exorcist and to get revenge on my friends? Well, I have not forgotten your challenge. I stamped that well on my brain, demon!"

Grimm remained silent because he could not believe what was happening. Gaunt finally confronted Clemen.

"In that case, do what you want. Get the justice you need. I will not retaliate."
