Chapter 94 Devilish Angel (2)
An eye for an eye. In this.
Michael tries to embody the ideology of Hammurabi’s code of giving equal repayment in Arcadia. I don’t know when the hell it was, but her plan was meticulous, as if it had been planned a long time ago.
“I sent a message to Uriel telling him to wait as long as possible and cause a local war while the bat bastard puts down the coup. We can buy time for about a week, so we can deal with it within that time.”
L speaks with a smile. From her smile, Jaeyoung flinched, feeling a huge madness that he couldn’t even imagine.
“Hey El…? I can see why you’re doing this. But since when the hell have you been planning this?”
The medium that could summon her.
[Glorious Celestial Medal]
According to Tan, the place where these valuable items were hidden was very important to the angels of the celestial realm. That’s why, while looking for that place, Tan personally guided Jaeyoung to that place. However, since she had never mentioned the destruction of the place until now, Jae-young did not understand the situation in which she brought up the incident.
“Hmm… I thought about the specific plan a while ago. It’s just that I’ve been aiming for that target for hundreds of years.”
“what….?”
Michael briefly recounted the relationship between angels and demons that has been going on since the beginning of time. And Jaeyoung knew that there were many, many more situations similar to the one committed with Tan than he thought.
“Do you know why everyone, angels and demons, make contracts with the humans of Arcadia and work hard to exert their influence?”
“That’s it…”
Jaeyoung, who was about to say something, kept his mouth shut. In fact, I had never really thought deeply about why demons and angels had to leave the demon world or heaven world where they were and go through all sorts of hardships in Arcadia to get involved in the incident. However, Jaeyoung, who remembered something, looked at her with strange eyes and asked.
“No way… Probability?”
“that’s right. The more we exert our power within Arcadia through contracts with humans, the more probable we gain. That’s the case, but there’s a more important reason.”
“A more important reason…?”
L that there is something more important than probability. She smiled and said to Jaeyoung, who asked with curious eyes.
“To fuck the other person.”
To sum up her words: Angels and demons are always fighting for power and walking a tightrope. However, there are times when the balance of power is tipped in one direction or another. Like the recent Witch Hunt by Saint Empire or the continental conquest of the evil Lich Argamer. And in such a situation, they would destroy each other’s holy places or holy relics that they had hidden all over Arcadia.
“The tomb that was destroyed at that time was one of the cards our heavens created to prepare for the distant future, but all of it was wasted because of that bastard bat. Well… there are many other countermeasures that have been secretly planted, so it won’t be a big problem, but I can’t live with being hit like this.”
Tan completely destroyed the sacred place cherished in the heavens. L wanted Jae-young to personally destroy the demons’ cherished things, just like the situation at that time.
“For hundreds of years, we have been aware of several things that bat babies secretly hide and cherish. I’ve been watching the situation so far to fuck these bastards… Unfortunately, it overlaps with where Dex-nim is going? So I made up my mind. I will now carry out the revenge I have planned so far.”
In other words, L was figuring out the things Tan secretly hid all over the continent of Arcadia. Seeing Jaeyoung heading to the base of the elves, where there is one of those retaliation lists, he was going to solve his own revenge as well.
“For now, I understand the reason… But El vengeance only brings another vengeance. Of course, you were the first to suffer damage because of Tan and I, but if you take another revenge, it will only lead to a chain of revenge that will never be broken.”
“What do you want to say?”
L asks what he wants to say with a puzzled expression. To her, Jaeyoung told her what an angel would basically have.
“Can’t you forgive Tan and move on?”
Revenge breeds more revenge. In order to break this recurring chain of vengeance, the opponent had to be forgiven. However, seeing Jaeyoung mentioning forgiveness, L put on a cold expression and spoke in a cynical tone.
“Forgive me? Ask those fucking bats. It’s a necessary virtue for those who can regenerate, not an irredeemable squire like the devil. If you eat the candy, you should be prepared to eat the same.”
As if shouting ‘Forgiveness is not in my dictionary’. Michael, the incarnation burning with vengeance. She said in a confident voice.
“Do not worry too much. Once you go to the elves’ village, you’ll know what I’m talking about and why you have to destroy what they hold dear.”
“…Once I get it. But don’t forget I don’t visit elves for that reason.”
A new mission after forming a friendly relationship with the dwarves. It was about the elves.
[Mission. 4]
Dwarves and elves, enemies of the fiery world. Their quarrel started off as trivial and ended in a very cruel way. Races that couldn’t eat each other. Is there really a way to restore the relationship between these two races? Become a peace envoy between these two and mediate a reconciliation!
[Victory Conditions]
-Agreement of peace between the two races
-Opening of a trade route between the two races
[Failure Condition]
-Breaking of the peace agreement between the two races
-Resumption of war
between the two races A mission to improve relationships. It was a peaceful and meaningful mission, so after a long persuasion, Jaeyoung received negotiation terms from the dwarves and was heading to the elven village with my mediation plan. And in the meantime, L made a strange plan and forced Jae-young into the situation. That’s why Jaeyoung made it clear that he wouldn’t overreact to L’s request. However, despite Jaeyoung’s words, L spoke with a very relaxed attitude.
“yes yes. I know that. Well, I won’t force you to do it, so don’t worry too much.”
L tells a meaningful story. Looking at her like that, Jaeyoung only suffered another cognitive dissonance at the archangel’s words and actions that were more devilish than the devil.
‘Isn’t it possible that the basic settings have been reversed between angels and demons?’
Sometimes compared to Tan, L looks so vicious that the creepiness is felt even more. Looking at her, Jae-young sincerely wanted to ask the developer to check the algorithm.
* * *
Great Desert Shurim and Great Forest Amil, which belong to Arcadia’s five forbidden regions. The two places, full of the intentions of the developers, created a harsh environment that ordinary users could not easily survive.
-Shrim is also a problem, but Amil is more extreme.
An adventurer who travels all over the continent of Arcadia in search of hidden ruins. Amil, which was recorded in the aftermath of the exploration he left in Arpendia, was indeed a dangerous jungle.
-Can’t get a sense of direction because of the dense trees. In addition, there are many camouflaged carnivorous plants among the trees, so if you wander carelessly, you will die. There are many insects that are poisonous enough to kill you with one bite, and if you drink the wrong water, you get sick and die. Oh, the monsters that appear are as strong as if my mother went to America. Overall review of the exploration… Recommended for those who want to lose.
Great Forest Amil, where the ecosystem is so dangerous that everything threatens your life the moment you enter it. And as he said, the comments were filled with the experiences of those who looked down on Daesurim Amil and stepped in, but then their character died and access was restricted.
-lol. It’s real. After entering, he was beaten to death as a group by the wonseungs he encountered.
-I was bitten by an insect, but it was immediately followed by acute poisoning. What is this?
-you also? I think I was bitten by a strange snake.
-Is this a true story? I went in as a joke, but I didn’t go far, but I lost my way and searched for the exit. Is it just a labyrinth?
After the deaths of numerous users, the Great Forest was abandoned after being judged to be an impossible area to attack. There was a noisy struggle going on inside, where no traces of people are normally found.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
pujijikjik. Quadduk.
A green-skinned ogre that pulls out a huge tree that grows densely around it with one hand, like pulling out a blade of grass. He looked at Jae-young, who had invaded his territory, with eyes full of life, and grabbed the tree he had just plucked like a club and lifted it over his head.
“Ha… that’s really dirty.”
An area that must be passed through in order to head to the center of Great Forest Amyl. Going through the habitat of those who are very sensitive to their territory is to the point where even Jaeyoung feels annoying. So many ogres were rushing towards Jaeyoung one after another.
Wheein.
An ogre wielding a wooden stick…no, a giant tree he just pulled out with one hand. Perhaps because of its weight, the tree was flying toward Jaeyoung’s head with a terrifying sound that tore the air.
Kwaaang.
Dust and wood chips exploded with a tremendous roar. Seeing how they devastated and shattered the dense jungle in an instant, I could see how ignorant the power of the ogre was.
“Kreurreuk?”
It was so powerful that if an ordinary human had been hit, it would have gone to the nether road without making a sound. However, the ogre made a puzzled expression when he saw Jaeyoung, who was standing still as if he had not suffered even the slightest damage.
“I missed by just one tick.”
Jaeyoung smiles and says it’s a waste. At his reaction, the ogre let out a violent scream.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
As if his pride had been hurt, he was about to strike again. However, the bow in Jaeyoung’s hand was being pulled hard, aiming for the ogre’s heart.
[Skill activates Fatal blow.]
[Passive skill ‘Pierce, Pierce, Pierce.’ is activated.]
[Ignores opponent’s defense.]
“Damn.”
An arrow of magical power that activates a skill and condenses powerful power. The arrow flew at the speed of a comb and hit the ogre’s heart exactly.
“Kreuk?”
At that moment, the ogre’s chest was punched in an exact circle. Seeing this, he put on an expression of disbelief and collapsed, holding onto the fountain of blood pouring down with his hand.
“Cheerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
An ogre that instantly turns to gray. Due to its huge body, the surroundings were covered with dust.
“Haa…. This probability consumption is no joke…..”
Jae-young, who received an enormous amount of probability of 1 million. However, since he had to maintain his strength in both the Great Desert Shurim and the Great Forest Amyl, his probability was being gnawed away to a level that could not be ignored.
“I can’t help it. But thanks to that, you were able to come in safely until now, right?”
“That’s true again…”
As El said, it would have been impossible to come this far if it wasn’t for the Spirituality skill. It wasn’t just because of the monsters, but because of the trees growing so densely that one couldn’t even tell them apart. This made it possible to lose one’s sense of direction at the slightest distraction and to be unable to discern the place one had just passed.
[You can go a little further from here. Then the village of the elves will appear.]
That is why Jae-young specially summoned the spirits of the elves and tried to guide them on the way to their village. But surprisingly, the souls of the elves did not exist in the heavens.
“When elves die, they don’t go to heaven or hell. Everyone goes to the spirit realm.”
“What are you talking about….?”
“Um… it’s been like that since the beginning, right? Anyway… I don’t have an elf soul, but there are people who have had a close relationship with them.”
[Shrine Emilia.]
Emilia was an excellent archer that even the elves acknowledged. Fortunately, she had extensive knowledge of the Amil area, so she was able to navigate without difficulty under her guidance.
[If you’ve come this far, you should be able to go through it alone without difficulty. Since this is the territory of the elves, there are no dangerous monsters around.]
“Oh, is that so?”
[Um…if I ever meet the elves, could you please do me a favor?]
Emilia said in a cautious voice that she had something to ask Jaeyoung. At those words, Jaeyoung tilted his head and asked.
“ask? What request?”
[Hmm…. If there is still an elf named ‘Pale’ alive, please kill that cub as painfully as possible.]
“ …..”
It’s okay to lose and put your life on hold.]
Hearing Emilia’s request, Jaeyoung ruminated once again.
Angels and celestial beings that could be called line icons. That they are not as good as you think, and that it is a place full of crazy children who are sometimes worse than devils.
