What's he doing?
Escher! Saria!
Oh, Escher's singing truly is sublime!
And when accompanied with Saria's playing...
Genuinely godlike!
I can't take it!
Maybe I should descend?
I'll descend, join the party, and then who knows—
SPLAT
What fool dares throw feces-shaped lumps of cloud matter at me?!
A h-h-human?!
Impossible! What could one be doing in Paradise?!
Know your place, human. I am the angel, Jihriel.
Acolyte to the 64 deities of Paradise, a sacred envoy!
Trying to act fancy all of a sudden, huh?
How are the two of you here in the first place?
This is a separate realm from the human world.
Even if you intended to come here, the wall of realms should have kept you out!
I dunno. Now, can you teach me divine sorcery?
What's the matter, child?
Has the sight of my beatifically gorgeous visage fried your puny mortal brain?
I'd be open to letting you kiss my feet, you know.
Go on and kneel down.
Just spill the beans already, you angelic ass!
Unless you want us to tell everybody back home about how the servants
of the divine creep on girls while panting like a perv!
Hey, stupid! No one would believe a word you'd say!
While it is true that I am capable of bestowing divine sorcery,
that is a gift reserved for those I deem worthy.
Return home now and I won't judge you for your sins.
Hurry on back. I won't tell you again.
Come on, work with me here.
Luxa.
I already said I wouldn't tell you again.
Well, now.
You're no mere lost lamb, are you?

Episode 14: Jihriel's Miracles
What now?! Lloyd flew off somewhere!
Calm down, Ren. Did he say anything before leaving?
Um... Something about sensing a gaze.
A gaze? That wasn't what I noticed.
Sorry, I need to step out for a bit.
You too, Babylon?!
Aww!!
Everyone is running off on their own!
Something stinks.
Everyone's running off on their own!
Woof woof
Here's hoping those aren't rain clouds.
This is fascinating!
Divine sorcery...
They look just like feathers,
but they're as heavy and hard as steel!
As for absorbing it with Spelltaker...
I'm not getting anything!
I see. The swords, once conjured, must count as physical objects,
and not spells that the sword can steal!
I'd wager these Luxal swords he's using are generated limitlessly just by using mana.
What an amazing spell!
I have to see....
how durable it is!
Aerolanse Zephyr Aqulanse Cascadia Pyrlanse Incinis Terralanse Lithis.
Cracks in the wall of realms?!
Whoa. What're you dodging for?
My Luxa is invincible!
But I refuse to let it be defiled by coming in contact with your base sorcery!
And that is why I dodged. And the only reason why!
Wait, what? Huh? Hu-hu-huh?!
So, he's fled.
Good grief.
Then how am I supposed to experiment with its resilience?
An experiment?! You fool! Don't make me laugh!
Your attacks will never come in contact with me.
I will dodge them all, and then—
Dodging again? I'm afraid you don't have that option.
Shadow Wolf...
Strike.
Strike
What just—
And he still dodges. I messed up.
Did I misjudge the distance for the teleportation?
Shadow Wolf... Strike?!
The same move Guisarme used to such effect against Prince Lloyd...
Sending matter directly into a target.
Offensive teleportation!
But when used by Prince Lloyd, it's way more powerful and more versatile!
Next time I'll need to reduce the distance as much as possible.
That's a pretty impressive move, boss, but it's also a little... extreme, maybe?
I get the feeling even this dude would die, and that's kind of harsh.
Otherwise it gives him enough leeway to...
Don't be silly, Grim! He said his Luxa is invincible!
There's no way this is enough to break it!
I think he might've just been talking big, though.
Either way, you can relax.
I'm not going to use it quite the way you're picturing.
I wouldn't misuse Jade's power like that.
Jihriel! Prince Lloyd doesn't intend on killing you!
Hmm...
WHIRR
Quit showboating, apologize, and teach him divine sorcery!
My Luxa is invincible!
But your magic isn't worthy of using it to defend!
Look how easily I evade you! Your cheap party tricks are nothing to me!
Hrm...
It's true that, for as sure-fire as this approach looks, it leaves a lot of openings.
Stop thinking of it in terms of the relative space
between the teleported mana signature and the target...
But the relative time between the activation of the spell and...
The teleportation.
It doesn't matter how close I aim;
the manifestation of the spell gives him enough time to evade.
I've seen through your cheap tricks!
It's really hard to hit a moving target with this.
Prince Lloyd!
Teleporting the spell before it activates won't be fast enough.
Ideally, I send it the moment it comes into effect.
Let's try holding onto the spell until the last second, like timing a fuse...
Here he comes! Prince Lloyd!
I'll have your head, demon spawn!
Now.
Bwuh?!
How is he casting so quickly?! This is nothing like before!
Jihriel! Just apologize already!
Don't be absurd!
It may be shattered, by my Luxa is infinite!
And can be repaired as many times as need be!
Infinite?!
Aw, damn it, I tried to warn you!
Luxa seems like such an incredible spell!
I wonder how much it can infinitely regenerate.
I have to know!
I mean, it's not all that.
Y'know, I'll do you the immense favor of letting you return safely today!
Why, I'll even give you an autograph and let you kiss my feet...
It was a lie! I lied! I'm sorry!
It's actually finite!
Fade...
He's looking kinda transparent.
Well, ethereal entities like us are basically comprised of mana.
So, Luxa is neither invincible nor infinite.
It's a expenditure of mana to manifest steel armaments.
But that means as long as you have mana, you can keep making more!
Well fought, child.
But you have lost your chance to learn divine sorcery.
You can live the rest of your life wondering "what is divine sorcery?"
Stupid! Jerk!
Hmph!
Wahbahbahbahbah
Bzzzzzzzz
Wh-What are you doing, child?
Just sharing some of my mana with you.
That should have you feeling better.
But I tried to kill you...
Doesn't matter! I just want to learn divine sorcery.
Your name is... Lloyd, then, child?
Burp...
He's looking kinda chonky.
You gave him too much mana.
Immense mana unbecoming of mankind,
You want some too, Grim?
wielded by an innocent child...
I know what this is...
Wahbahbahbah
Very well.
I shall bestow divine sorcery upon you.
It's a chance for me to make my earthly advent!
In order for me to share this gift with you, we will first need to form a pact.
A pact?
It's a whole thing. Now, give me your hand.
Now, then...
This fight isn't over yet!
What a perfect chance for me to visit the surface.
If I possess the child, under the pretext of a pact...
I'll be able to visit all my favorites down there like Escher and Saria!
So obvious...
Oink!!
Consider yourself lucky, child! I will make good use of your body!
It's mine! The perfect body!
It's the dawning of the age of Jihriel!
Wait, what the fudge?!
You really screwed up now, you dumbass angel!
However much mana you expected Prince Lloyd to have, he has way more!
You only amount to a palm's worth of his body!
I'd wager this infernal creature tried the same gambit, once...
So, does that take care of the pact?
Oh... R-Right.
In order to use divine sorcery,
an angel must engrave the mana signature upon the prospective caster's soul.
After that, a pathway is created by song, or other means.
Is the whole singing thing absolutely necessary...?
Not in your case, child. Since I'm with you, the path is already active.
Simply call out with your soul.
Call out with my soul...
Prince Lloyd? Prince Lloyd!
You okay, boss? You didn't catch anything from that creep, did you?
You little...
I'm fine. I just had a vision of the sorcerous language from before.
I understand it now intuitively, now, instead of logically.
I see. Divine sorcery really is incredible.
Hear that?! Incredible he says!
This idiot might not realize what just happened...
Stupid Grim! Porker Grim!
but now that Prince Lloyd has mastered divine sorcery,
he's got enough power to conquer both Paradise and the Netherworld!
He could usurp the Demon Lord's throne if he wanted!
That said,
I'm kind of disappointed. Learning it was so easy...
What are saying, child? Why be disappointed to learn it easily?
I enjoy the process, too.
Instead of just looking at the results...
I enjoy exploring every step of the construction.
I've read spell books until they fall apart,
wondering, "Why's it like this? Oh, is that why?!"
Like I'm solving a riddle.
And there are times, when I've figured magic out,
that it feels like I'm looking at the face of the predecessors to created it all.
Which is to say, y'know... I don't mind the extra effort.
A-Anyway, let's get to it!
Your Luxa spell is divine sorcery too, right?
Right. It takes different forms depending on the caster.
For now, try conjuring a sword.
I had wondered what brought him to Paradise in pursuit of divine sorcery, but...
Even through this thin layer of skin, I can sense...
the child's honest feelings.
The kind of pure, genuine, sentiment that you'd expect from an angel.
Why, he reminds me of you...
The one who earned my respect, so long ago.
Perhaps, in my service to the gods, I had forgotten...
I should follow the boy's example, and look deeper, instead of only... the surface...
Wauuugh!
P-Prince Lloyd! Make it stop! Please!
Stupid! Stupid! Enough! Enough! Prince Lloyd, you're terrifying!
How the hell is this that Luxa from before?!
That ain't no sword!
Aw, but I wasn't finished!
You're not?! That thing is still under construction?!
Bwah!
Inconceivable.
Bwah!
Luxa's form can vary depending on the nature and quantity of the caster's mana...
Bwah!
But for it to look like this?!
Bwah!
Now that I get a good look, it resembles the shining eight wings of an archangel!
That's way more than eight! Archangel my ass!
You need to get a grip, you stupid angel!
This is like a divine revelation!
Child—no, Prince Lloyd, I ask that you allow me to accompany you!
Shut up! Buzz off!
Actually, do something about this god of destruction-looking craziness!

You can still hear their performance from inside the church out here.
That thunder's got no manners.
And then there's this smell... that stands out in a church.
The flowers are doing a decent job of covering it up, but rats have sharp noses.
I normally don't make a point of digging around,
but if this provides a clue to the divine sorcery Prince Lloyd's is seeking...
Are you lost, my friend?
It's a big church, after all. Allow me to escort you back to the recital.
Right this way, if you will.
No, I actually just love roses.
I hope you don't mind me looking around.
That seems like such a waste.
You came to see them perform, didn't you?
What about you?
Well, I'm a pastor.
And it's my duty to guide parishioners who have gone astray.
So you just direct lost traffic?!
That being said, despite my many years of service,
I still got lost myself at times.
Sounds like you need a different duty!
And you're supposed to guide people?
So... is that clumsiness of yours why you're not wearing a Rosary?
I was told that clergy need to wear them at all times.
I'm a total newcomer and still received one.
How... careless of me.
But you're correct—a blunder on my part.
I know it's wrong... but I always seem to forget it.
Learn from my example.
If you've joined the clergy, you mustn't break such taboos.
This garden is a holy place, as well, where one should not tread lightly.
My apologies.
I'm new here, after all.
There he is. Hey, Babylon, what's wrong?
The recital's gonna end soon.
Shiro?
I gotta say, you seem rather devout.
You must polish that thing every day... either that, or you hardly ever wear it.
Your Rosary seems a bit too pristine for such a long withstanding member of the Church.
Well, certainly.
Shiro?
Your furry friend has quite the lovely coat.
He must be well-taken care of... Such a clever little dog.
What're you guys doing out here? What happened with the recital?
I should ask you that! Where did you run off to, Lloyd?
Aw, what is it? What's got you so affectionate, Shiro?
Did you miss me?
Souvenir attack!
It can't be...
Lloyd!
How did you like the recital?
Are you all right, miss?
We did our best!
Yeah! It was an incredible performance from start to finish!
Actually, it was called off because of the thunder...
I've been waiting for this day so long!
I need to let them know how I—
Right! It was an incredible call to call it off!
Sister Escher, I was wondering, is the inner garden considered a sacred location?
Just Escher is fine.
And yes, we often use it to lay pets of the faithful to rest.
Is that where the smell of rot was coming from...?
It's hard to leave the assassin life behind.
I keep coming to the worst conclusions.
I guess it's fine since the recital ended without incident,
and Prince Lloyd doesn't seem worried about it...
Something wrong, Babylon?
And yet...
By the way, I'm leaving the Church as of today.
He seems to have found what he needed, wherever he was,
so the job's done. Whatever happens to this church isn't my concern.
Oh, right! Mr. Babylon,
I still hadn't thanked you for saving me this afternoon.
I'm really grateful!
It needed to be dirtier.
Considering I had lost my original Rosary, and only recently received this new one.
There's no need to pursue them, but, yes...
Let's increase security around here.
I don't need any interruptions.
Not when the day is at hand.
Pancakes. Pancakes are music.
The ensemble of honey, syrup, and rich butter creates the most sublime melody.
