Player Returns after 10,000 Years Episode 271
The King’s Path (1)
Since Rakiel’s existence has been confirmed, I will ask for help from the heavens. Uriel will arrive sooner or later. Are you saying another archangel is coming?
Yes.
Raphael nodded.
Thinking of the case when Rakiel… and the other constellations were also released from their seals, I alone was not enough.
……..
I understood what you were saying.
No, to the point where I felt puzzled that he only asked for support from Uriel alone. still. Kang Woo narrowly opened his eyes. ‘I can buy time.’ It doesn’t matter
whether Uriel comes or
all the archangels, including Gabriel and Michael, gather on Earth.
‘The seal hasn’t been released yet.’
Even if they wipe their eyes and try to find Rakiel, they won’t be able to find it.
‘While these bastards are fooling around.
There was ample time to prepare.
No, rather, using the current situation in reverse seems to be enough to think about it.
‘Because it would be a waste to just throw away the card called Rakiel.’
Kang Woo’s head turned rapidly.
There is a difference between what happens in a state of ignorance and what happens in a state of knowing.
If he had known that Rakiel existed before his seal was broken, he could have used that fact.
I advise you not to be the incarnation of Gaia.
Yes Raphael.
Be more careful of your friends than your enemies. Cultivate a willingness to doubt those you love. yes?
Gaia hardened her face. Rakiel is not called the ‘Constellation of Corruption’ for nothing. His words are subtle and sweet. Sooner or later… or even at this very moment, your colleague may be succumbing to endless temptations.
….
Even at the time of the war against the devil, it was impossible to count how many angels were deceived and corrupted by his tongue.
I’ll be careful.
However,
Gaia spoke with a strong voice with her back straight.
I believe in the guardians of the Guardians. These people…
stuttered and stretched out their hands to catch Kim Si-hoon and Kang-woo.
I smiled a little, feeling relieved. They are not the ones who will fall for the devil’s candy coating.
Raphael let out a deep sigh. Hearing his sigh, Gaia smiled.
I know what your concerns are. I also intend to pay attention to the situation in case of emergency. It’s okay not to worry.
I hope that trust will not be broken
.
Gaia bowed her head. Kang Woo and Kim Sihun also lightly bowed their heads following her.
There was nothing more to talk about with Raphael.
Then we’ll
just go back.
Kang Woo turned around.
After the Guardians left,
Raphael gently closed his eyes as he gazed into the silence of the fortress.
ha.
A deep sigh came out. ‘It must be Rakiel…’
Raphael chewed his lips nervously.
Gaia told him not to worry about him, but Raphael, who knew numerous anecdotes about the fallen constellations,
couldn’t.
Chargiel.
yes.
Keep an eye on the Guardians. As long as it’s until Uriel arrives, it’s fine.
…Rather than leaving uneasy elements, why don’t you take this opportunity to organize the Guardians?
Chargiel opened his eyes sharply.
Rakiel is an existence that can easily corrupt even angels.
It was not thought that
man could withstand his temptations .
One way is to remove the anxiety factor in advance.
Raphael shook his head. It is a hasty choice. you always have that problem
…sorry.
Just focus on monitoring for now
.
yes.
Chargiel bowed his head. Raphael looked at him with a slightly anxious look.
Because he is well aware of Chargiel’s fiery personality.
Immediately, he shook his head and stood up.
Then, I will research the data on Rakiel until Uriel arrives.
What material are you talking about?
Have you ever heard of the reason for his fall?
Chargiel shook his head. … no. I was only told that I fell for the devil’s temptation. I’m trying to research
what kind of temptation it was .
In order to deal with darkness, you must understand it.
Raphael let out a deep sigh. ‘Too many things to do.’
I have to investigate Rakiel, and I have to go into the bosom of light and heal my wounds.
Raphael let out another low sigh.
There is cause and effect in everything.
It seems like a coincidence, but if you look inside, there are many cases that are inevitable.
As soon as Kang-woo broke up with Gaia Kim Si-hoon, he ran to somewhere with his hair flying at high speed.
The cause of all this causality.
its starting point. No C point. Hey, this C balrog bastard aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
-bang!
It smashes a specially made door with a giant size of about 10 meters.
He kicked off his feet and flew into the air. Using the power of the sky, he turned his body backwards while stepping on the advance as if he were trampling on the air.
– Pleas!!
[Kuhuhh!!]
A summer salt kick that makes you exclaim just by looking at it.
Reflexively, the body of the Balrog, which protected its jaw when casting the King’s Armor, floated up into the air and landed on the ground.
[Demon Lord?!]
What a dog…! name! I asked for a recommendation! Shiva, of course! why!
[Cheuk! 100 million! Why are you like this, Demon King?!]
The Balrog’s pitiful scream resounded.
Kang-woo let out a rough breath, calming the rising resentment.
haha. You… Where did you hear the name Rakiel?
[…yes?]
Where did you hear the name Rakiel?
[Mmm. I remember well…]
I remember.
Kang Woo opened his eyes sharply. The balrog flinched and nodded desperately.
[I’ll remember that!] It wasn’t too nice to see a 5-meter-tall muscular giant trembling, but now wasn’t the time to worry about that. ha.
Kang Woo sat down on the sofa as if he had a headache.
-It’s sweet.
What’s up with Kangwoo? It’s raining! I missed you!
The door opened and Halkyon and Echidna appeared.
When Halkyon found the rain, the dodo came running with twinkling eyes.
I was so lonely while Kang-woo was gone…
Halkyon, who was laughing as he hugged Kang-woo, stopped talking.
Confirming that his expression wasn’t good,
Halkyon cautiously let go of his arms and hesitantly stepped back.
ooh ooh … Kangwoo What’s up?
Following Echidna and Halcyon, Lilith also came out into the living room. What are you doing? ok
Kangwoo
touched his forehead with an expression that he did not know how to explain this complicated situation.
So…
I tried to summarize
the conversation I had with Raphael as briefly as possible .
under.
Lilith also let out a blank laugh as if it were absurd.
She glared at the Balrog with sharp eyes.
You mean you don’t know Rakiel? [What what? Did you know?]
I didn’t know if he was an evil constellation, but I’ve heard his name. No, did you hear that too? [I don’t remember…]
Balrog scratched his head and blurted out his words.
Lilith put her hand on her forehead as if her head hurt. That muscle pig… Lilith Did you know about Rakiel too?
yes. I ‘ve heard the name before
.
to whom? It’s Amon.
Amon.
When the name came out, Kang Woo frowned
.
A demon who was originally a subordinate of Satan. In terms of black magic, he was a demon who had no one to follow in hell, and he was the one who opened the rift toward the earth with the power of hell arms. Amon knew Rakiel? yes. It was definitely a name I heard from Amon. what did you say I didn’t say anything in detail. I just… said it in passing. Do you know anything about Rakiel?
I narrowly opened my eyes. Something felt odd. Lilith Balrog. So, have you heard anything about Bauli? Are you Pauli?
Lilith and the Balrog looked at each other.
The two demons shook their heads.
No, I don’t remember ever hearing of it.
So what about the existence of titan or nothing?
That too… Lilith blurted out her words with a puzzled expression.
‘Lilith didn’t know about Shinhwa either.’
Kang Woo himself knew best how excellent her intelligence was.
Even she didn’t know about Shinhwa.
In other words, the transmission of myths in hell is completely cut off.’
If so, it was strange.
How could Amon know information that even Lilith did not know?
Balrog. Didn’t Amon act suspicious before you came here?
[It’s a suspicious behavior, and after the demon king returned to Earth, he was stuck in the lab and didn’t show up. If that’s suspicious behavior… it is,” said the Balrog, stroking his chin. ‘I locked myself in the lab and didn’t come out.’
information was lacking.
Because he lived in seclusion, we couldn’t find any connection with the demon.
…Lilith.
yes, my lord Find a way to contact Hell. Doomgard or Marvas is fine. I need a way to connect with at least a corps commander or higher.
I will follow your orders. Lilith bowed deeply. Kang-woo leaned against the back of the sofa.
TE
needed to sort things out now.
‘It doesn’t make sense to think about complicated things now.
Mythical titan existence of nothingness, etc. Even if I think about things I don’t know now for a hundred days, I can’t come up with an answer.
The important thing for him now is to decide what to pay attention to and what to do
.
‘First of all, I think it’s best not to use the Rakiel card.’
I couldn’t help it if it was absolutely necessary, but I couldn’t use it with peace of mind.
As the seal is weakening, you should keep in mind that Rakiel will appear
.
‘and.’
Uriel’s participation in the war.
Furthermore, it is not strange that even other archangels flock to Earth.
***
The angels, whose personnel have been expanded, will search the entire earth like teeth to find Rakiel. ‘But you won’t be able to find Rakiel.
It was clear that even the slightest doubt would be investigated.
For example, a human who miraculously survived after being captured by Rakiel.
If the desired result is not obtained, it is natural that the scope of the investigation will extend to the people around him.
‘Even if Lilith, Echidna and Halkyon are like that.’
Balzahak and Balrog are not appearances that can be hidden just because they hide demonia.
Balzahak.
Click.
The door to the lab opened and a skeleton walked out.
**
A pink bandana on her head. A pink apron that covers her bony ribs.
Even the duster in my hand was shining bright pink. No… you. [Khehehe. What’s going on, Mr. Demon King?]
That’s what I want to ask. what the hell are you doing
[The lab was being cleaned because of the dust. Huhuhu, King… What are you trying to order this time? Should I turn the corpse of a saint into an undead or turn a disgusting servant of light into a puppet…]
Fuck don’t say that while wearing that outfit. You can’t concentrate.
[Khahaha! Why? Isn’t it a very neat outfit?]
No… Ah… I’m sorry. I… I’m sorry.
Kang Woo could not bear to speak and looked away.
ha. First of all, I have a favor to ask of you. [Speak.] Do you know how to do some black magic? [Of course.]
Can you make a ‘mask’ exactly like a human? Whether it’s using a corpse or whatever.
[Mmm. Are you talking about the tentacle decorations Lilith-sama made before?]
No. It should be finer than that. So that you can fully function like a human when you wear a mask.
[…it will take some time, but it’s possible. How many do I need to make?]
I only need to make one with you.
[Are you Balrog? Mmm. Considering Balrog-sama’s height, no matter how human he is…]
Don’t worry, I’ll shrink the Balrog’s body. Still, to reduce the sense of incongruity, make it as large a human as possible.
[Okay.]
Kangwoo moved his gaze toward the balrog.
Hearing the news that he had suddenly shrunk his body, Balrog looked at Kang Woo with a puzzled look.
[Demon Lord. What does it mean to shrink my body…]
I’m going to use my authority to transform my body. Even if it’s impossible to fight, at least try to adapt so that you can live your daily life.
[…Is there any reason to act like a human like that?]
You can’t get caught by the angels at all.
[I’m going to use all those angels
…] Balrog. I narrowly opened my eyes. The balrog’s body trembled.
He banged his forehead on the floor.
[Sorry.]
Yes.
Kangwoo swept his hair away, looking away from the balrog.
The biggest problem is drinking.’
Kangwoo recalled a myth he had heard from Raphael.
I knew the identity of the demon hiding inside the Manmajeon and its intentions.
The guy is aiming for his own body. ‘I can’t get rid of it.
It’s too much for me to suppress it so that it doesn’t come out.
……
I continued to worry for a long time, but the conclusion was one. ‘You need to increase your demonic control.
In order to suppress the demon’s crawling out, in order to
absorb Belphegor’s demonic energy and
increase its magical stats, in
order to deal with unexpected variables,
and
‘never again…’
Kang Woo’s eyes sank deeply.
An endless mountain of corpses came to mind.
I remembered the image of myself screaming.
‘Even in order not to lose.
I had to raise my demonic control.
ASAP.
. .
Kang Woo closed his eyes.
There was a way to drastically increase the control of demonic energy.
‘But that way…’
Hesitation stood in the air. But that’s for a while. Kang Woo opened his eyes slowly. Balrog. [Yes, Mawang-sama.] I will do a metamorphosis.
The Balrog’s eyes widened.
