Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

"He is extremely powerful and fast," Thomas explained. "And his mana is extremely high."

Drake's eyes widened. 'No way.'

Thomas continued. "I barely managed to survive because of him losing an interest. And it was really close. If he wanted to kill me, he could have easily killed me."

"I-Is that true?" Drake asked, stunned. "Wait, don't tell me-" Drake frowned. "You're saying that Dorian is a demon now too?!" Drake came to his senses after a moment of daydreaming. "But I've visited him during the holidays. I saw his face. There is no way he is a demon!"

Thomas smiled bitterly. 'That's because you didn't see him awake.' He thought. "Yes. He is a demon now."

Drake stared at Thomas in disbelief. "Are you fucking serious? No, that can't be possible. How can he turn into a demon? Why now?!"

"No idea," Thomas shrugged. "But he definitely turned into a demon."

"So, what are you going to do now?" Drake raised his brows.

"That's why I am here. I need you, Drake, to help me take him down." Thomas told him bluntly. "Before he brings a disaster to the Elemental kingdom."

"Y-You..." Drake raised his brows in disbelief. "You've got some nerve to ask me to kill him after what he experienced!"

Thomas quickly shook his head. "No! Not kill! I want to seal him!"

"Seal him?" Drake frowned. "For how long?"

"Until the humans he swore vengeance against pass away!" Thomas said furiously. "I don't care if it takes centuries! Just make sure he can never harm anyone again!"

"Wha-B-But why?" Drake shook his head, confused. "Why can't he just let out some steam until he regains his senses? You can't expect me to agree to kill someone without any consequences!"

"Because people will die!" Thomas shouted. "His hands will kill people! Do you understand? His grudge is against six families! Three families are nobility of the Elemental kingdom!"

"So that's how it is." Drake sighed. He knew that if a demon attacked three major noble families, the Elemental kingdom might crumble. "Fine, I'll help you."

"Really?" Thomas asked with hope.

"Yeah, why not? I'm getting bored, anyway." Drake shrugged. "It doesn't matter that much to me."

"Thanks." Thomas smiled. "Now, we better get going. The sooner we take him down, the fewer people will get hurt."

"Alright, alright. Let me go and inform my wife." Drake created a portal and teleported to the city in a holy kingdom where his wife lived. After a few minutes, he returned. "You ready to go?"

"Yes." Thomas replied.

"Good." Drake nodded. "Wait. You mentioned an angel, didn't you?"

"Yes. Lucas Ciffer. What about him?" Thomas asked.

"If he's not an enemy of an Elemental kingdom... Why can't he help you?" Drake suddenly asked. "This is suspicious."

Thomas awkwardly chuckled while scratching the back of his head. "While it's true that he is not an enemy... But he also doesn't view at Dorian as an enemy."

"What? So he doesn't care about an Elemental kingdom?" It baffled Drake.

"That... That I don't know." Thomas muttered. "I mean, he had many chances of destroying the entire city, but he just ran around killing random criminals."

"I see. So the stories about angels being driven by desire to punish are actually the truth." Drake frowned. "That's interesting. Wait, don't you think Lucas might join Dorian?"

"Eh? What?" Thomas's eyes were wide open in realization. 'If Lucas's joined Dorian, it would be a pain in the ass.' Thomas thought and anxiously bit his nails.

Drake wondered if a rogue angel wouldn't end up an even bigger threat. Especially because Dorian's and Lucas's interests are aligned at this. If either of them decided to destroy the Elemental kingdom, it would become a colossal mess.

​ Thomas nodded. "I agree. That is a possibility. We should be careful with him. Angel's mana is poisonous to us."

"Seriously?" Drake asked. "How poisonous?" Drake glanced at the sky. "This is dangerous. If what you said is true and angel is poisonous to us and the other demon is as powerful as me... We're at a disadvantage. Our only advantage is Elizabeth." Drake smirked.

"Huh? What do you mean by advantage?" Thomas asked.

"We have the element of surprise." Drake explained. "We can kidnap her and force Dorian to promise to leave our world. Or... Seal him, as you planned from the very beginning."

"That's a great idea!" Thomas exclaimed.

"Well, it's not a great idea." Drake sighed. "It's a shitty idea that makes me ashamed. However, it's the only way I can avoid fighting him."

"That's fair enough." Thomas said.

"So..." Drake started thinking. "Let's get things moving. I'm going to search for Elizabeth in the capital. I will summon you when I find her." And with that, Drake disappeared.

"A-Are you sure it's safe here?" Sarah asked nervously, peering around the dark alleyway. She couldn't make out much through the darkness, but the area seemed deserted. "Do you think we're alone?"

"It's fine. I hope there are some muggers here!" Lilith assured her. "You need some practice, fighting people!"

"Oh, come on..." Sarah shrugged, her face turning red. "I'm not trying to fight anyone! Just practice! Can't you tell I'm not a fighter?!"

"Stop arguing and just do it!" Lilith snapped, irritated. "Or else I'll tell Lucas that you're a chicken!"

'Ugh... Fine! Wait... What's a chicken?' Sarah sighed and took a deep breath before she turned to Lilith. "Eh, what is a chicken?"

"WHO CARES WHAT CHICKENS ARE?!" suddenly Lilith yelled and slapped her own forehead. "Dammit! Just do as I say and kill someone!"

Sarah's face turned red again. "Eeeeeh... You want me to kill someone?! Are you insane?!"

"Yes, I am! Now! Go! Kill someone!" Lilith ordered, waving her hands impatiently.

"There is no way in hell I am killing someone!" Sarah protested. "It goes against all my beliefs!"

"Then what did you come here for?" Lilith snorted. "To learn how to use magic? Where else can you use it?!"

"But-but... No! I came here to learn to help people!"

Lilith chuckled. "Yeah, I bet you did. But if you can't kill people, then how will you protect yourself if someone attacks you?"

"T-That will not happen!" Sarah declared quickly. "Why would someone want to hurt me?!"

Lilith stared at Sarah with a blank look on her face. "You're adorable and naïve creature."

Sarah was a beautiful girl, but she had a wiry frame and a lean body, which made her appear frail. Her skin was a pale white color, and she had short black silver hair and pink eyes. She looked a bit like a Japanese anime character.

'"You have no idea how adorable you are." Lilith said with slight irritation in her voice.

"EH?!" Sarah pouted. "And I'm not adorable and naïve! You're the one who's naïve, not me!"

"Whatever," Lilith said dismissively and walked further into the alley. "Fine, don't kill. Just beat them if someone attacks us."
