"Uhm, I understand, Lady Raven," Abbadon replied promptly.
"Hm, I need you at full strength tomorrow, so please get some rest." Raven confirmed with a smile.
"Yes, yes Lady Raven… but, may I ask…" he hesitated for a second. "What are you going to do? Or rather, may I stay with you just a little bit longer? I can tell that you're not going to rest right away…"
"Uhm, sure." Raven smiled, thankful.
Although she hid it quite well, she was quite nervous about staying alone all by herself. She was afraid of the outcomes and possible paths generated by her imagination if she was not keeping herself busy. Her thoughts and anxiety were making it harder to breathe the more she kept thinking about the inevitable encounter.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled and answered Abbadon's question calmly: "I'll have to make sure everything is going well with the EDA on this side, then do one final inspection of the troops allocated around the globe.
"After that, I'll be checking up on our Demon Country since it's the busiest of places. Many of the newcomers from other planets are rather nervous, but they are quite excited to prove themselves as well.
"Additionally, we have evacuated many of the humans into the Demon Country since the EDA's underground shelters did not suffice; many of them were still under construction at the start of the evacuation procedures, and obviously we don't have time to finish them now.
"The main reason the underground shelters are not ready yet is because this coming Angel Invasion was out of everyone's expectations. The shelters were actually being prepared for another large-scale invasion that's estimated to commence in a few months…
"*Sigh* To think that many beings want us either dead or as slaves… that's rather discouraging, right?
"Err, anyway, so after that's done… I guess I would then get some rest myself." Raven finished with another warm smile, as if to let Abbadon know that she was doing well.
Although she mentioned that she'll be able to rest after getting this done, Raven knew that she probably won't be able to sleep, but she could at least close her eyes and rest… or so she hoped.
"Uhm, I understand," Abbadon nodded in acknowledgment. "I'll be going with you then, Lady Raven."
"Uhm, let's go!" She nodded, happy that she wasn't going to be left alone for now.
'I haven't been to the Demon Country for a few weeks now since I've been busy with closing one portal after the other… I wonder how everyone is doing…' Abbadon looked excited to visit the place.
The Demon Country…
Abbadon had never imagined the Demon Plane would be united under one ruler, let alone accepting humans as refugees, or other alien races!
Yet, his mistress has done it all!
After taking in the other Deadly Sins, which were the ancient demon lords, under her wing, the entirety of the Demon Plane submitted to Raven, willingly.
Every demon that she had found to be reliable was granted a name and special powers, thus automatically granting them higher status!
The demons were quite intimidated at first, yet everything was settled when they saw their new leader, Raven, together with her subordinates -their ancient lords and ancestors- standing behind her.
They already knew that she was insanely strong by the fact that she had tamed the Deadly Sins!
Additionally, every doubt had evaporated once they saw her sincere warm smile and plans for the future, starting by defending the planet against the invasion!
The demons together with the newcomers had worked together super hard to prepare for every danger that's soon coming.
From various types of potions created by alchemy, to various types of magical weapons and armours, to even some ways and recipes to increase one's prowess, they had prepared it all!
And not only that, but they have also donated a lot of them to the EDA and human rankers to make sure everyone survives!
No, actually, the goal was not just mere survival; the goal was now victory against the aggressive invaders and teaching them that Earth is not to be messed with!
Snapping her fingers, a few magical circles activated around Raven and her loyal subordinate as she activated Kayla's magic; teleportation magic!
Noticing his surroundings change rapidly as his mistress teleported him with her into the sky above the EDA headquarters, Abbadon was left astonished.
Although he had not realized before, when she had teleported with him from the planet where the elves lived and back to Earth, it was rather clear now that Raven was not using a Transfer Bracelet!
"Lady Raven, can you use teleportation spells without the bracelet now?" He looked excited while looking at his mistress's gauntlets.
Although he could not see her delicate skin underneath, he seemed rather convinced that she was not wearing a bracelet since the magic formation was a little bit different from what the bracelet would use. He would have missed it if he hadn't been paying attention, just like the first time he witnessed it!
"Hehe," Raven grinned. "Of course! I've gained many skills and abilities thanks to the Mana Refinement process that I went through, but more importantly, so did Kayla!"
"Oh, of course, Lady Kayla has gone through the process with you!" Abbadon seemed to remember now. "So she is able to teleport anywhere without the bracelet now? And you're able to utilize her ability?"
"More or less," Raven giggled like a schoolgirl, rather than an absolute ruler of the two Planes. She seemed to be enjoying her time, talking about things other than the war that was just around the corner. "Kayla has gained many precious abilities after the Mana Refinement process. One of her passive abilities now, that isn't technically a real talent, is to passively release tiny Cyber Particles wherever she, or I, go.
"This means that we technically have an anchor for teleportation in any place that we visit, even if just once! The only downside is that the Cyber Particles decay after some time, but the decay rate would decrease the stronger Kayla gets, meaning that they'd last longer!"
"That's great!" Abbadon smiled, genuinely happy. This would be a precious ability that would enable his mistress to switch between battlefields during the invasion, providing help to places that need it the most!
Abbadon didn't even need to ask since he knew that Raven would have already visited all places of interest to scatter Kayla's Cyber Particles!
His mistress was truly a genius!
"Oh, Lady Raven," Abbadon widened his eyes in realization. "Then the real reason you came to personally pick me up from that planet rather than using our Mind Link…"
