Osiris' sword didn't intend to kill her. Instead, the sword only intended to destroy the bindings that were keeping her trapped.

Without the Moral Shackles of being the King, Osiris couldn't come to let him leave Yulia behind to die in this place.

"Get inside the Tower!" He commanded her.

Lia was momentarily stunned to see Osiris free her. She couldn't believe her own eyes even though she was seeing it take place right before her.

Seeing her in a daze, Osiris held her hand and started bringing her back to the tower as the apocalypse became even worse for her.

" This can't be real," Yulia's spirit watched what was happening right before her eyes, unable to believe it. This went against all her assumptions.

"This is as real as it can get," the old man answered. "This is how the real events took place. Surprised?"

The old man had expected a similar reaction from Yulia, so he wasn't much surprised. The reality was often more surprising than legends and myths.

Osiris brought Yulia inside the Tower. After the two of them entered the tower, the doors of the Tower of Sin closed, barely a few moments before the entire world exploded, turning into a ball of fire.

The old man cast a barrier around him to protect him from all the flames and the destructive energy. Yulia and Raphael were quite secure from all the destructive energies as they were in their spiritual forms.

It was also their first time watching a world being destroyed, and it was a scene that was impossible to forget.

Even through the destruction of the world, the Tower of Sin was still intact, floating in space. The tower started disappearing in the cloud of fire but not before the old man took action.

The old man clapped his hands once, opening another portal before him. He commanded the two to enter the portal. This time, it was after Raphael and Yulia entered the portal that he decided to enter as well.

On one side of the Portal, there was only destruction, while on the other end, there was a massive hall, which was filled with people.

In the hall, there were the citizens of Osiris, who had taken shelter inside the place.

As Yulia, Raphael, and the old man stepped inside the portal; they were greeted with a different scene.

In the new one, they could see citizens questioning Osiris why he saved the Witch who deserved to die.

Osiris was about to answer, but before he could speak anything, he went into a daze as he looked at the empty space before him.

No one else could see what he was seeing, and that was because it was a system screen that opened before him, granting him a system.

He wasn't the only person receiving that either. Yulia also received a system of her own, confused as to what this was. As time passed, more and more people started gaining Systems.

It was only after people here received their systems that they heard an announcement that informed them about the tower and their goals in the tower. Two boards also appeared in the distance with the names of the Kings and the names of the Lords.

While Osiris' name was at the top of the names of the Kings, Yulia's name was second.

The old man observed the expressions of Yulia's spirit, wondering if there was something that was helping her regain her memory. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be anything like that.

"Let's move on." The old man clapped his hand again, opening another portal.

The three of them entered the portal, appearing in another place where Yulia was fighting her first challenge, using the system.

The scenes kept changing, and Yulia kept progressing through the tower. Unfortunately, Yulia's spirit didn't remember anything even now. It was like she was watching a new movie that she couldn't recognize.

"At this rate, before regaining her memories, she would've seen her entire past. At that point, it won't matter if she remembered or not as she'll know her entire past," Raphael commented. It was faster if Yulia could remember everything, as that was better than showing her entire past to her, which was more time-consuming.

As his Familiars were trying to understand their past, Azekiel was trying to understand the present. One side knew their present but not their past, while the other side knew their past but not the present.

Azekiel remained with Yulia, trying to understand what else she knew about Raphael. It should've been impossible that Raphael was at the top of the rankings, but he could also feel that Yulia was lying.

That only meant something had changed inside the tower... Something which he had absolutely no idea about. Were some crucial bits about the working of the Tower changed in his absence? Something was definitely out of place.

He was somewhat glad that he decided to investigate the middle realms instead of taking actions blindly.

He asked Yulia to tell him everything she knew about Raphael. Unfortunately, Yulia couldn't answer anything as she herself had no idea. She hadn't seen Raphael before, at least not on this floor. She didn't know much about him.

"Even though I haven't personally seen him, I did hear his name being mentioned a few times before," Yulia responded. "In the bar, there were a few people who mentioned his name, including the group that you were keeping an eye on."

"What did they say about him?"

"Nothing significant. They just mentioned the name a few times, saying it was all thanks to Raphael that they were going to reach the Higher Realm or something. I am not sure, but it felt like they were working with Raphael."

"They also expressed their disappointment that Raphael didn't join them in their celebrations there. Apparently, he refused to come down for their celebrations."

With Yulia's explanation, Azekiel received some ideas but nothing that could help him understand what was happening in the bigger picture.

"Any idea what he looks like?" he asked.

"Raphael?" Yulia shook her head. "I don't think there was any mention of how he looks. It would've been off if they had mentioned it though."

"I do have my own imagination as to how that person might look, but that would only be a guess at this point," she further clarified.

"And what do you think he would look like?" Azekiel asked, quite curious just what kind of look Raphael was going to have in the girl's imagination based on his reputation.

Yulia didn't know what Raphael was actually like, but she had created a persona in her head about the supposedly most powerful person here.

"If I were to Guess, I would say that he is an old man who possesses immense power. He must have a white beard that shows his wiseness and his experience. To get so strong, he must've home through some heavy Battles, so he should have some scars on his body, possibly on his face?"

"Moreover, since he is so strong, his physique must show that immense strength as well. So he must be seven foot tall with a bulky body."

As Azekiel heard all the assumptions that Yulia had, he couldn't help but smile. If it was actually Raphay, then her assumptions were quite wrong.

Raphael wasn't bulky at all. Instead, he had a slender physique. He looked more like a scholar than a brute warrior. Even though he was very strong, his physique didn't show it. As for the scar on his face, the chances were quite unlikely since he was quite good at dodging the attacks.

From what he could guess, all the assumptions of Yulia were as wrong as they could possibly be. It was evident that she knew nothing about Raphael.

He couldn't blame her for that either. If Raphael actually didn't come down, there was no way people were going to know what he was like.

However, the question in his head was still just as prominent. If Raphael was actually alive, how could his spirit be a Familiar? That actually didn't make sense, even for someone as knowledgeable as him.

"Here, eat up." Yulia placed a plate on the table before Azekiel. She had already finished preparing the food for him.

Azekiel came out of his thoughts and noticed the food, which looked quite good.

He stepped closer to the table. He pulled a chair back and took a seat.

"That was quite fast."

"What fast? It's been fifty minutes since we started talking." Yulia burst into laughter, hearing him calling her fast. "It seems in our conversation you didn't realize how much time had passed."

"Speaking of conversation, you still didn't tell me anything about yourself. What brought you to this place suddenly? And why are you so curious about the people at the top of the rankings?'

"Who won't be curious about such powerful beings? I'm just fascinated by their strength. That aside, I had a few more things to ask."

Once again, Azekiel changed the question without answering to get back on the topic. His answers were more important than anything
