Devil’s Music

Chapter 124: From Jamaica

In a Jewish cemetery in the western region of Jamaica, despite the hot weather, a dark-haired handsome man in a black suit stood at the entrance, gazing outward. Beside him, a blond young man in the same attire looked up at the dark-haired man with a worried expression.

"Lord Gamagin, what should we do?"

Looking down at the blond boy, Gamagin covered his face with one hand and spoke.

"Sigh, why Jamaica of all places... Pavio, have you tried contacting Andras and Amdusias?"

Pavio, the blond boy, nodded in response.

"I did, but Jamaica is an area even Amdusias can't penetrate, my lord."

With a troubled expression, Gamagin extended his hand towards the boundary leading out of the cemetery. As his hand touched the hazy gray semi-circular barrier, sparks ignited.

*Sizzle!*

Gamagin looked down at his own hand, now emitting smoke, with a contemplative expression.

Concerned, Pavio approached as he saw smoke rising from Gamagin's hand.

"Jamaica is known to have the highest activity of angels in the human world, my lord. We haven't been able to enter for over 55 years."

Glancing at Pavio, Gamagin mused.

"After all these years, a place where demons wreaked havoc has now become a forbidden zone for demons. There seems to be no way to enter, Pavio."

Pavio looked out beyond the cemetery entrance, noticing a golden-winged angel observing their movements. As the angel made eye contact with Gamagin, he flinched. Gamagin raised a hand and shouted.

"Hey! Come here, let's talk for a moment!"

The angel alternated gazes between Gamagin and Pavio, sending them fearful glances. Gamagin raised both hands, reassuringly.

"I swear I won't cause you any harm. I'll vouch for it with my name."

Reluctantly, the angel approached as Gamagin pledged his name. It was evident that the angel, facing high-ranking demons for the first time, was filled with fear and caution. Gamagin patiently waited until the angel relaxed a bit, observing him closely.

"Are Archangels like Caliel present here?"

Hearing Gamagin's low voice, the angel shrank back before nodding slightly. Gamagin tapped the barrier blocking their entry, causing another spark.

"As you can see, I can't enter, so don't be scared and just answer. I'm Gamagin, and this is Pavio. What's your name?"

After hesitating, the angel spoke.

"I, I'm a 9th Rank Angel, Sonia."

Gamagin casually put his hands in his pockets.

"Alright, Sonia. Is there a Cherubim-class angel here in Jamaica?"

Sonia, sweating profusely, reached out to touch Gamagin's hand but trembled so much that she slumped to the ground. Seeing her reaction, Gamagin chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't torment you. By any chance, is Michael here?"

Struggling to raise her head, Sonia answered with trembling eyes.

"M-Michael isn't here!"

After sighing, Gamagin lowered his head in thought, then raised it again.

"What about Nanael?"

Sonia stiffened before slowly nodding. As Gamagin withdrew his hand from his pocket, Sonia's eyes widened in surprise. Gamagin slowly raised his hand, gesturing for her to leave, indicating that she should relay his message.

"Tell him I want to see him."

Despite her frightened expression, Sonia vigorously shook her head.

"Na-Nanael is busy! And he's not someone you can see just because you want to!"

Seeing Pavio's sly smile, Gamagin chuckled.

"Alright, calm down and listen. If you don't summon Nanael, things might take a turn for the worse. Then, you'll be recorded as an Archangel who failed to stop Armageddon once again."

Sonia, terrified, stumbled backward and cried out.

"W-what are you planning? Are you going to start a war!?"

Chuckling, Gamagin nodded.

"If you don't call for Nanael, that might just happen. Then, you'll once again be known as the angel who caused Armageddon."

Trembling, Sonia quickly turned around and scurried away, shouting.

"W-wait a moment!"

Geon watched Sonya vanish quickly, prompting a satisfied grin from Pyemon. As Gamagin observed Pyemon, he couldn't help but smirk. After about five minutes had passed, four angels could be seen flying towards them from afar, their golden wings flapping vigorously. Leading the group, a black-haired girl gracefully descended in front of Gamagin and nodded slightly.

"It's been a while, Lord Gamagin."

Gamagin extended his hand for a handshake, but it was blocked by a barrier, so he settled for a wry smile.

"Ah, indeed, Nanael. It has been quite a while. How have you been?"

Nanael smiled sweetly, bowing her head slightly.

"I've been well, Lord Gamagin. What brings you here? Jamaica should be a zone where demons cannot trespass anymore. Lord Michael would not be pleased."

Pyemon growled with a menacing expression.

"Stop babbling nonsense when you know everything. Even Michael is aware."

Nanael smiled at Pyemon's menacing demeanor.

"No need to threaten. It's impossible to breach that barrier. It was crafted directly by Lord Michael."

Pyemon eyed Nanael and smirked.

"Hmph, let's stop this pointless banter. Anyway, do you know? A human child has come here."

Nanael glanced at the three angels accompanying her and spoke after they exchanged glances with each other.

"I'm fine, so please attend to your duties."

The three angels exchanged meaningful glances before swiftly flying away and disappearing. Waiting until the angels were completely out of sight, Nanael spoke slowly.

"I am aware. You came to Jamaica today."

Stepping forward, Gamagin spoke.

"You must already know about the child we are protecting."

"Yes, Lord Gamagin. I am aware."

"Then can you open the way for us?"

Nanael shook her head after briefly looking at Gamagin.

"I'm sorry. It's beyond my authority. Jamaica has become a cursed place where demons have ruled for many centuries, selling slaves brought from Africa. Many angels are currently engaged in purification efforts, and if you two were to come out, the active angels would be frightened."

Gamagin sighed, looking down at the ground, prompting Nanael to continue speaking.

"Don't worry. Lord Michael foresaw this and gave me instructions."

Gamagin looked up with a surprised expression.

"Michael foresaw this? What instructions did he give?"

Nanael smiled gently.

"He gave two instructions. One was to protect the child, and the other..."

Pyemon, clinging to the barrier, interrupted.

"What's the other one?"

Without wiping her smile, Nanael replied.

"It was to allow the child to meet someone."

Pyemon pounded the barrier with his fist, causing it to tremble and spark.

"Who? Who did he ask us to meet? Will it not affect the child's mental state?"

Nanael looked up at the trembling barrier and pursed her lips.

"Ah, the power of high-ranking demons is indeed formidable. The entire barrier is vibrating."

"Stop the nonsense and speak quickly! Who is it?"

Nanael glanced between Gamagin and Pyemon, still smiling.

"It's not a person, it's an angel."

Gamagin raised an eyebrow and asked.

"An angel? Why?"

"To help the child on their path."

"What kind of help?"

Nanael looked straight at Gamagin and spoke.

"You have made the child sing with your voices full of power. The child already possesses great power. If the child harbors ill intentions, it will spread as a great calamity. We want to prevent such a problem."

Pyemon waited for Nanael's mouth to open, and when she did, he asked without a smile.

"Nanael, can you speak with your name on the line? Tell me that nothing will happen to the child."

Nanael looked Pyemon in the eye and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I swear by my name. I will watch over the child to ensure nothing happens."

Pyemon placed his hand on his waist and spoke.

"Nanael, can you say this with your name on the line? That nothing will happen to the child."

Nanael covered her mouth with her hand and nodded.

"Yes, I swear by my name. I will keep an eye on the child and make sure nothing happens."

Gamagin closed his eyes, lost in thought for a moment, then stepped back, crossed his arms, and nodded.

"Fine, I'll trust you. But I'll stay here until the child leaves."

Pyemon, watching Gamagin intently, approached him and locked arms with him. As they stood together, Pyemon closed his eyes. Observing their union, Nanael smiled and flew up into the sky, disappearing among the clouds.
