Lots of North Americans and Europeans reading my fic, or at least those that have responded.

Spoiler : For the North Americans, how's the 2016 Elections Campaigning?

For the Europeans, how's Greece and the Eurozone?

For those in Asia, how's the tension between China, and the other East and Southeast Asian countries affecting you?

For those in the Polar Ice Caps, do you eat penguins?

For those in Australia, are your taxes really that high?

Can't ask much for the rest since what I'm curious about your area is not much.

So I have my PayPal up, let the begging commence. As this is a one time thing, I will stop once I reach an equivalent of $470 or 22,000 in my local currency (Philippine Peso). The laptop I'm looking at costs that much at most (NEO Elan L31W). Sadly, I don't have a dollar account since I have to withdraw the money to buy the laptop. I have yet to find a seller that uses PayPal, so I need it in my local currency.

I need a deposit of $500 for a dollar account to maintain it in the banks in this country. If it goes below $500, a penalty of $5 per month will be charged against me. I won't be able to maintain that.

Took this chance to create a bitcoin wallet. That's how much begging I will do.

I am shameless as I am honest.

I will tell you when I am nearing my goal, and when I have achieved it so you may then stop... or if I knew how to display if the goal has been achieved or not through a gauge/meter, but I don't.

Or, since I am an obvious newbie to PayPal, does PayPal convert one foreign currency to another on their own or through my bank when withdrawing? I understand there are fees when doing so, but that's all I understood.

Well, here's a chapter.

Flashback

"Shit! Shit! Shit! What the hell is a Cipher doing here!?" cursed Azrael as he frantically avoided fast and randomly moving elemental essences. A ray of red light was zigzagging crazily as it looked for a good angle of attack, and when it did, it would take the chance to try and pierce through Azrael's defenses. "Fuck!" cried Azrael as he spun his scythe to block the ray that exploded into flames upon impact, "What the hell is this magic!? Fire that moves like lightning!?" After the ray of red light impacted, Azrael was suddenly hit by a ray of blue light that froze his right hip. "Dammit all! Grah!" Azrael sliced through the ice with his scythe, and the ice disintegrated.

"That scythe of yours is really annoying." commented a woman surrounded by elemental essences that revolved around her. Without a sign of movement, rays of red and blue darted forward, and sustained the attack. It was Aisha, and she had an emotionless face as she stared at the dodging Azrael. Azrael looked at her after narrowly escaping her attacks, "Well, this scythe did come from a Slayer. Heh heh." he said, laughing dryly. "Slayers, huh?" said Aisha, "Beings who stand on the opposite spectrum of life, and are able to kill gods themselves." Azrael grinned, "You know? Sadly, I have to get close to you to hit you with it." Still emotionless, "But the part about killing the gods themselves have yet to be proven." added Aisha. "Indeed. However, it proves effective in killing things like that guy." said Azrael as he pointed his thumb towards Pyo'ah's corpse behind him, a giant laying motionless in the area.

"That's why..." Aisha suddenly raised her arms, "... let me kill you!" A flash of light appeared from her golden eye, and the elemental essences that revolved around her shot forward to Azrael. "How about you die, instead!?" shouted Azrael as he swiftly jumped to the side, "Let your soul become my dinner!" and charged forward to attack Aisha. Readying his scythe as the elemental essences chased after him, green light shone from below him and erected a wall of earth. "Dammit!" Azrael prematurely swung his scythe to disintegrate the wall. After the wall disappeared, Aisha was nowhere to be seen. "Where!?" Azrael suddenly looked up, and saw Aisha with a fist full of red and green essences. "Magma Pilebunker!" With a shout, the red and green essences transformed into a sharp burning piece of rock, and she brought her fist down with force. "Shit!" Azrael jumped to the side while having his scythe cover overhead. With Azrael's speed, Aisha unfortunately missed her attack, but instead left a large five meter crater and a large explosion of flaming debris.

"Dammit! You sure are brave to go for close combat!" commented Azrael. After the dust settled, Aisha was once more unseen, "Stop hiding, damn you!" As if on cue, a bolt of lightning struck out from the earth below Azrael, and hit him with a nasty shock, "Gwababababa!" He unsteadily stood his ground after being hit. "Still alive, huh?" Aisha materialized from the earth, "I was already told that you were sturdy, but I didn't think it would have been to this extent." Azrael, having recovered, looked at her dubiously, "Told? Someone told you about me? Who!?" and asked. "It does not matter." replied Aisha, "I will only fulfill the promise." She the charged with fire on her left, and ice on her right. Two opposing elements formed into fists, "Blessings of Fire and Ice!" Azrael brought his scythe forward, "Damn you!" and the two attacks connected. The fire and ice exploded from her fists, and the opposing temperatures created a cloud that blocked each others' views. "Huh?" Azrael felt the lack of resistance on his scythe, and looked around him. In a split second, he spun around and swund his scythe forward, "Dammit! Gimme a chance to hit you!" he cried, "I'm doing my damnedest to defend here!"

Aisha reappeared with a blade of wind and a hammer of earth that smashed down on Azrael's scythe. Having her attacks blocked, she released a green light and disappeared. "Graaaahhh, DAMN YOUR LAWS!!!" howled Azrael as he noticed traces of green essences leave the area. Instead of standing around, he leapt to the side in an attempt to avoid further attacks. Instead, a wall of fire erupted and prevented him from freely moving. "Fuck you!" he cursed as he swung his scythe, and dispersed the flames. "That scythe of yours can not only kill by destroying the soul, but also disperse magic, huh?" commented Aisha, "Shall we bring things up a notch?" Countless elemental essences appeared and surrounded the two appearing like orbs of light. Azrael had nowhere to run having seen the elemental essences. "Grr, guess I have to go all out after all..." growled Azrael. Without movement, as though Aisha willed it from her thoughts, all of the elemental essences launched towards Azrael like a rain of bullets.

The elemental essences pummeled Azrael and resulted in numerous powerful, yet colorful explosions of fire, ice, lightning, earth, water, and wind. The attack continued for a full ten seconds before ceasing. Aisha waited for a while, "Tsk... He never told me about this." but noticed something unnatural. After the elemental essences stopped, dust and debris blocked the view of Azrael. Once everything settled, Azrael was still standing not as a human, but an ethereal skeletal monstrosity. "Forcing my Grim Revenant out..." bellowed Azrael, "I must commend you for such a feat." Azrael's Grim Revenant stood at three and a half meters tall, and had a pair of large scythe-like wings that made him float steadily in place. His bony limbs were six centimeters thick in diameter, and his skull appeared demonic because of the horns that protruded out from the sides and curved forward like a bull's. His Grim Revenant didn't wear armor, and within his ribcage was a swirling pool of black energy. This black energy also occasionally pulsated and wrapped around his skeletal body giving a domineering and deathly aura.

"By the way..." said Azrael, "I noticed that you're only using six elements. As a Cipher, why is that?" Upon inquiry, Aisha remained silent. "Strange how you have that golden eye, a sign to identify Ciphers from the others yet you're not utilizing all of the laws. Fire, Bolt, Water, Ice, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, Time and Space, and... the known specialty of all Ciphers, or at least the oldest one... Void, where all laws cease to exist. You Ciphers are anomalies yourselves, you know? Unaging, and yet, not undying. Has there ever been an entity that has attained absolute immortality...?" Azrael gazed at his skeletal palm, "What's wrong with me? Why have I gone philosophical? Is this an effect of fighting against a Cipher, the so-called 'guardians of time and space' but are you really 'guardians', or is it a sign of what will come to my future? Tell me, Cipher, what is this? I have to thank you for just standing there, listening to me talk on and on and on. Come now, let us finish this."

With a gesture of beckoning, Azrael/Grim Revenant shifted his floating body, and spread his scythe-like wings wide. With an eye blink, he shot forward towards Aisha. Aisha, in turn, expected the attack, and created a wall of elemental essences. Red and green essences melded, and became a wall of swirling magma. Azrael smashed through that wall of magma, and came within arm's reach of Aisha. However, blue and green elemental essences melded, and became a vortex of ice that buffeted Azrael/Grim Revenant. Each shard of ice that hit him, a piece of his body froze and was covered with ice. Yet, after a few seconds, the ice would disappear and leave a clean, ivory-like surface. "What?" cried Aisha in surprise, "But your scythe–" She then noticed the scythe-like wings on Azrael/Grim Revenant's back, "No way..."

"Heh heh heh..." laughed Azrael/Grim Revenant, "My scythes become one with me in this form. None of your attacks will work on me as long as you use magic. Now, die, and let me consume the soul of a Cipher!!" Aisha retreated back while green elemental essences transformed into a dark green wall between her and Azrael/Grim Revenant, "Adamant Wall!" The dark green wall momentarily halted Azrael/Grim Revenant, but it was enough to give Aisha enough time to merge with the earth below. "Adamantium! And so easily summoned!" exclaimed Azrael/Grim Revenant, "However, since it was made by magic..." Azrael/Grim Revenant trusted his fist into the wall, and the wall disintegrated to oblivion.

"Come out, come out wherever you are!" declared Azrael/Grim Revenant, "Stop wasting our time, otherwise I might take this chance to kill Cavaron." As though his threat proved effective, magma and lightning shot out of the earth below him, but with the effects of his special scythe merged with him, the damage was nullified. "MAGIC IS ALREADY INEFFECTIVE! WHY DO YOU BOTHER!? COME AND DIE, ALREADY!!!" bellowed Azrael/Grim Revenant, "YOU, YOU ARE NOT REALLY A CIPHER, ARE YOU!? UNABLE TO UTILIZE ALL THE LAWS, YOU ARE A DEFECT!!!" With Azrael/Grim Revenant's provocation, Aisha materialized a few meters away. "So I am." replied Aisha, "What of it?" She did not deny not having full mastery of all the laws of magic, making Azrael/Grim Revenant's skull produce a spine-chilling sound as it cracked and transformed into a smile. "Now, why is that?" he asked. "It is irrelevant to tell you." she replied.

Azrael/Grim Revenant's skull still had that menacing yet creepy smile, "Fine. A chance is still a chance." he said, "I don't have all day... DIE!!!" He charged forward, but before he could reach halfway, a spear was thrown towards him. This made Azrael/Grim Revenant halt to parry the spear away. Looking at the source, it was Palu'Angit who threw the spear. "Lady Aisha, if magic won't work, material attacks should prove effective!" shouted Palu'Angit. Behind him was an army of Sky Knights readying their own weapons, and, surprisingly, right beside that very army of Sky Knights were scattered groups of lizardmen and demons who also readied their weapons. "The one who killed our father shall die!" shouted a lizardman, "We shall have our vengeance!!!" Aisha was shocked at the resolve shown by the angels and demons against Azrael/Grim Revenant. The target of their hate faced the two groups with open arms, "Come, food."

Presently, within the valley, there were thirty odd thousand angels, fifty odd thousand demons, and forty odd thousand humans, and those outside the valley were innumerable. An approximate total of eighty odd thousand angels and demons focused all their efforts against Azrael/Grim Revenant while the humans stood dumbly at the epic sight of a giant skeleton successfully fending off wave after wave of angels and demons. Azrael/Grim Revenant effortlessly eliminated one wave after another with mere swipes of his arms. Those that got hit immediately fell, creating a field of corpses, and the poor souls entered the pool of dark energy within his ribcage. Even with the sight of seeing their comrades fall, it did not deter them from attacking with reckless abandon. Palu'Angit and some others resorted to long range attacks with thrown spears, bows and arrows, and even thrown rocks in an attempt to damage Azrael/Grim Revenant.

Azrael/Grim Revenant suddenly spread his scythe-like wings and flew up, "This is taking too long." he said, "Thanks for your souls... NOW, I CAN DO THIS, DEATH HARVEST!!!" Without an incantation, a mere mention of his ability produced ghostly figures that rushed out of the dark pool of energy. These ghostly figures swept past hordes of angels and demons, and their own souls were stripped from their bodies. The ghostly figures then led the souls back to the pool of dark energy, and became food for Azrael/Grim Revenant. From an approximate of eighty thousand angels and demons, only a few hundred remained. From the futile waves of attacks to the ability unleashed by Azrael/Grim Revenant. Fortunately, a number of Sky Knights pushed Palu'Angit away from the ghostly figures and saved him. After Azrael/Grim Revenant's ability subsided, Palu'Angit frantically looked around his surroundings, and suddenly darted towards a location. His destination was a young angel huddled next to Demetria. It was Ethra, his daughter. Palu'Angit hugged Ethra tightly, "Child, it has become too dangerous here. You must leave, now!"

Seeing the severity of the situation, and the seriousness within her father's eyes, Ethra hesitated for a moment but was urged again by Palu'Angit making her leave quietly yet reluctantly. Azrael/Grim Revenant noticed Ethra running away, along with a number of angel and demon remnants, but ultimately ignored them, "Heh, feel free to run. You've already lo–" Azrael/Grim Revenant suddenly turned towards the small house, and Aisha did as well when he did so. From emotionlessness, shock and panic flooded her face.

"Urgh... What the hell happened?" I wake up with my face flat on the floor. I got knocked out, huh? By what... or... who...? I recall placing my hand on the doorknob, but after that... Gods, my head is aching. It feels like a hangover, but I don't recall drinking alcohol since a few hundred years ago. Damn, Aisha, where are you?

I stood up, placed my hand on the doorknob, and opened it. Greeting me was a picture of absolute carnage. Mounds of corpses the size of small hills dotted the mea... dow? What happened to the meadow? All I see is a vast blood filled plain. I scan the area, and was taken aback at my discovery. It was a giant skeleton with scythe-like wi— that shape... No, it can't be.

"Godslayer...?" I uttered. Suddenly, the giant skeleton laughed, "HAHAHAHA!!! FINALLY! FINALLY! I CAN KILL YOU NOW!!!" and charged towards me. "Azrael!?" I cried in disbelief. Azrael is in Edeortha! Dammit, how!? I then spotted a familiar flag over the distance. It had the crest of the Sun Knights. Aldric must have summoned Azrael after me! Shit! I can't deal with him in my state! Argh! With his speed and my lack of mana, I'm dead!

In just a few seconds, Azrael was just a few meters away from me. Suddenly, a silhouette blocked my view, and instead took the hit that was for me instead. "What the!? Wench!!!" cried Azrael as he threw the body down on the ground. The body was feminine in figure, and had silver colored hair. Looking closely... No... No way... I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!

I had to do it, expect 'something' in the future.
