He releases his flames to cover the area and protect Belphegor.
With the flames that are filling the whole area, Alastor s.h.i.+fted himself through his normal form because the flame hurts him even though he was on a smoke form.
Alastor: "Sht! I can't be afraid by this moment! This is my chance to avenge my mother!"
Alastor fires his gun towards Ifrit and it seems that it is also effective because Ifrit's body was being wounded.
He also have some advantage since Ifrit's energy is not that too much powerful this time since his been battling with Azrael.
Belphegor ordered Ifrit to finish Alastor immediately while Gabriel is still not recovering his strength.
Ifrit increases the flames that he is producing to that whole area to force Alastor to maintain his human form.
Alastor: "He knew that I cannot maintain my form when there's too much heat! This is bad!"
"AAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" a huge noise comes with an explosion near Azrael happened.
Gabriel tries to get up and he saw Azrael slowly standing up.
Belphegor was also speechless by that moment because all those dark aura that is unstable from Azrael seems to be more stable after that explosion.
Belphegor: "What just happened?"
Gabriel: "Azrael! He's back! He's totally back!"
Ifrit doesn't mind what's happened he just continued to follow what Belphegor ordered to him.
He moves forward to Alastor and forms a circle of flame within his hands.
He was about to engage Alastor when he heard a familiar voice calling to him.
"Ifrit!" by some reason, Ifrit stops for a minute because of that very familiar voice and same aura that he felt.
Azrael slowly walks and thru Ifrit and everyone was just staring at them and not doing anything.
He was carrying a Death scythe and Belphegor's body was filled with fear while looking at Azrael's scythe.
Azrael: "Ifrit, you told me that you will change why are you doing this?"
Belphegor: "He will not answer you! He's under my control! Ifrit kill him!"
Ifrit is not moving even Belphegor is giving him a command to attack Azrael.
His will was greater than Belphegors spell but still he cannot control his movement.
Azrael stares at Belphegor.
Belphegor moves backward and Azrael destroyed the hidden chain that is binded on Ifrit.
"AAhhhhhh!!" Ifrit's energy was drained but his own consciousness seems to be back to his own will.
Ifrit: "Thank you Azrael!"
Azrael and Ifrit was once a comrade. Even though Ifrit was a demon he was following the rules of Heaven and h.e.l.l and they both punish everyone who is not following the rule.
Azrael: "You're free now my friend. Now tell me what happened why your heart was filled with darkness?"
Ifrit: "I was under the control of Belphegor."
Azrael: "But why did you let him? You're absolutely more powerful than him."
Ifrit: "Because he told me that he will help me to have my revenge on Lucifer! But instead of helping me, he trapped me inside his chamber and everyday he was casting his spell on me so that I will be in his control."
Azrael: "I understand. He's a sloth and he always like manipulating others mind."
Ifrit: "Let me punish him Azrael"
Ifrit was trying to recover his strength and he was very angry with Belphegor.
But before he perform any action towards Belphegor, Alastor called him.
Alastor: "Why!!!!!! Why did you kill my mother?!!!"
Ifrit recognize Alastor's presence at that moment and his tears slowly fall while looking at Alastor.
Ifrit: "M-my son. Is it really you? You are alive!"
Alastor: "Yes! I'm alive! I'm still alive because I want to kill you! For what you did to my mother!"
Ifrit: "NO! I didn't kill your mother!"
Alastor: "Liar! You are the only one who can produce blue flames you killed my mother!"
Ifrit: "Please listen to me! I will never to that to your mother. Clara is the reason why I changed. She's the only reason that I gave up my position on h.e.l.l and I tried to live as a normal human being."
Alastor: "But how can you explain the situation that my mom died while you were there and the entire place was filled with your flames?!!!!"
Ifrit told Alastor about everything that happened that night that he saw his mother died.
I was on our house guarding the place when Lucifer came.
He asked me a request to join the fight with Heaven. He said that it will be his last request then he will let me live free with humans. But I declined his request because I made a promise with Azrael that I won't interfere with the balance and the rule of Heaven and h.e.l.l.
I thought that Lucifer will understand but once he saw Clara, he killed her in front of me like she was just nothing in this world.
"You are being controlled by this insect?" He said to me upon taking the heart of Clara.
I was blacked out and it feels like my whole world was broken apart. My tears went falling and because of my anger towards Lucifer I destroyed everything! I don't care whatever happens I just keep of destroying things and I want to kill Lucifer but he disappears immediately.
I return back to h.e.l.l to seek my revenge against Lucifer but I found Belphegor and he locked me on his chamber."
Alastor was crying after hearing that story from his father.
All the anger wen away from his heart and all that is left is pain.
Pain from the bottom of his heart from thinking all the ways on how to kill his father and blaming him for losing his mother.
Belphegor wants to take this chance to escape but Azrael see to his plan and quickly moves in front of him.
"Do you think I will let you escape after what you did? You'll pay for this. As an Archangel of Death prepare to have your punishment!"
Azrael was about to use his death scythe when a very s.h.i.+ning light comes upon them.
"It's been a long time Azrael." A familiar voice to Azrael's name and cast a protection on Belphegor.
Azrael: "Michael!"
Michael: "So your memories already came back huh. Since you can tell who I am."
Azrael: "Why are you protecting that demon?"
Michael: "I have my own reason. And I'm here not just to rescue this idiot demon. I'm here to finish all of you."
Michael raised his hand and a lot of s.h.i.+ning swords were summoned on the sky.
He was aiming to eliminate all the Angels in this area.
Azrael wants to fight but Ifrit called him and tell him to escape.
Ifrit: "Not now Azrael! You are no match with Michael. I can sense that the stability of your current energy is about to break."
Azrael: "But I cannot let him eliminated us all."
Ifrit: "I will incinerate the whole area a trapped them with all of my remaining flames. There will be a huge explosion once I do that and I cannot guarantee your safety so please escape with my son."
Azrael: "No I won't let that happen!"
Ifrit: "Please! I already committed a lot of sin and I hurt a lot of people! Please let me pay for my sin this time! And I want to protect my son for the last time!"
Even though Azrael doesn't want to do what Ifrit wants. He cannot let Alastor and Gabriel be included on Michael's attack so he have no choice but to escape and trust his friend Ifrit.
"Please be careful my friend! I hope that you will accomplish your mission this time." Ifrit said while forcing himself to incinerate the whole area and trapping Michael and Belphegor inside.
"What mission? Ifrit!" Azrael was confused about the mission that Ifrit mentioned but he needs to escape. So he immediately get Alastor and Gabriel with him to get away.
Upon moving a little bit far from that place, a huge explosion happened and the whole place was covered with blue flames.
