After all, the angels' holy power was the purest and it felt way different from the sharp Valkyries.
If the Valkyries were like burning fire, then the angels were like warm fire, not threatening at all and just relaxing.
But that's for the non-combat angels.
For the battle angels...maybe their holy light could have the same burning effect as HellFire. Who knows?
Still, the moment Hydra witnessed this scene...he immediately understood that his job was finally over.
He knew he couldn't fight anymore, and insisting on fighting with this tattered body would only grant him an early death.
After realizing that it was time for him to get off the stage called the battlefield....
Hydra hurriedly retracted his curse and shrunk his injured body to the size of a palm-sized snake.
The initially huge snake that looked as big as the gate of the underworld, the snake that should be able to swallow a group of Valkyries with his bloody mouths....
Disappeared with a swoosh!
Hydra didn't really disappear, but because his size had been reduced to the size of a palm snake...people only saw that the huge snake disappeared.
Then, the little snake with seven heads quickly flew away from the battlefield, taking the opportunity when the enemies didn't notice his presence.
Hydra flew from the battlefield so fast that even the angels were still purifying the remaining curse of death when Hydra had already rushed to Cerberus in front of the Underworld Gate.
Then, the cool Hydra that people thought was a mysterious and ruthless snake, shamelessly shouted in the cute voice of a young boy.
"Ah, ah, ah! Uncle Cerberus! Help me! Hide me inside your gate! Quick! Just open a small gap and I can get it!"
Hydra didn't care about his image anymore and just cared about his body that was about to bleed to death.
When he became smaller, the wounds also became smaller, which was why he could still survive in such a tattered state full of blood.
But even so, Hydra felt that he was about to become a chopped snake if he didn't go to the Underworld to recuperate!
Cerberus was lying on the ground, protecting the little kitty Bello who was sleeping in his arms when he heard Hydra's loud shout that only he could hear.
As someone who worked in front of the Underworld Gate for a long time, Cerberus was familiar with the strange creatures that lived around the Underworld Gate.
Seeing the palm-sized Hydra with a bloodied body, scrapped scales, and a few heads that were about to fall from his neck...
Cerberus suddenly pitied Hydra a bit.
Alas, who told him to listen to the cunning tiger and get rid of the most annoying Valkyries for her in advance?
No matter how strong the Hydra was, the number of the Valkyries was simply too much.
That many Valkyries were equal to a million of celestials. Maybe more.
And Hydra wiped out 80% of the whole army with the help of Code-L's HellFire and a pitiful assistance from Centaurs and Harpies.
How could Hydra not be exhausted and almost die like this?
But Cerberus knew that Hydra often risked his life in exchange for a lot of opportunities to advance in strength.
The more people died under his curse, and the stronger his victims were, the stronger Hydra would be after the battle.
With a sigh, Cerberus acted like a cool uncle and opened a tiny gap in the Underworld Gate for Hydra to sneak in, but no creatures could come out.
"Hurry, hurry, enter the gate. Don't forget to pay the Underworld rent fee and the holiday expenses."
After all, the Underworld also opened tourism as one of their income sources.
Even the Underworld needed money to work, okay?!
Oh. Not really visible money but more like energy that could be used to run the huge Underworld and feed the pitiful citizens.
Getting Cerberus's approval and seeing the faint mist coming out of the gap between the two gates, Hydra beamed with excitement and rushed to enter the gap.
"Thank you, uncle! You're the best! I'll bring you some energy for a snack or bring you kitties to be your pet!"
Hydra knew that the reason why Bello was the one who became the shadow guardian of the underworld while still being a sacred beast was just for a simple reason.
Cerberus, a dog, unexpectedly likes kittens and cats.
Cerberus had long been eyeing cats that could be the next shadow guardian of the Underworld, just like him, who was the official guardian on the bright side.
When he saw Bello back then, he immediately fell in love with this unique cat who looked as if he was wearing a mask and four tiny socks.
Because of this, Cerberus often cheated to guide Bello through dreams whatsoever, urging him to inherit the bloodline of the Underworld's shadow guardian.
The shadow guardian had always been a mystery, and it could be just any type of creature.
In the past, Cerberus found many cat-like beasts from various worlds and dimensions to be the shadow guardian.
But those creatures didn't look as cute as the real kitten.
But real kittens and cats were too weak.
Most of them wouldn't awaken their intelligence and awareness to become a low-level beast finally.
Then, Cerberus stumbled upon this world and found that many normal animals in this world could turn into beasts because of the miasma left by the dimensional hole.
The dimensional holes existed because of the unstable space that appeared after the World Union Organization created an artificial dimension to seal the demons.
And that's how Cerberus met the young Bello!
