Chapter 316. Angel descent (1)
Raphael, 3rd-class angel.
He was a person who boasted a reputation for standing in the heavens.
Because you have a particularly strong power?
Or because he possesses an extremely noble character?
It wasn’t.
In the distant past, he was originally a 9th grade general angel test passer.
Just like countless angel aspiring public officials in the heavens do.
All day, I study in the general class of Angel Academy.
I hoped that I would pass the general administrative exam.
I finally passed the 9th grade exam.
He was said to have been given the rank of assistant secretary of an ordinary angel.
That’s how normal he was.
The expectations of those around him were just that much.
Because it’s an ordinary angel who passed the 9th grade exam.
At first, I suffered from various civil complaints in the summer.
After being promoted to the 8th level Archangel, I live moderately being harassed by the 7th level Powerful Angel.
If the promotion goes wrong, I will end my angelic life in 7th grade.
Normally, you’ll be promoted to a 6th-level superpowered angel.
If you’re really lucky, you’ll be honorably retired from the position of a 5th-class high-ranking angel.
Everyone around expected that.
That was a realistic expectation.
That was all I expected from him.
But what about the result?
It was completely different.
He was an ordinary person when he was a public official.
It was completely different when I was thrown into the civil complaint scene of an ordinary angel.
He was uncompromisingly sincere in everything he did.
There was never any procrastination.
Through prayer, all complaints coming from the lower world were handled on the same day. Administrative dispositions, once decided, were unconditionally enforced on the spot.
No compromise was accepted in the process.
He was not swayed by any praise or flattery.
Thanks to this, he boasted extraordinary work efficiency.
The result was an unprecedented high-speed promotion.
Within 100 years of being appointed as a 9th level, he became an 8th level archangel.
It took only 50 years to even be promoted to a 7th-level Privilege Angel.
Everyone was surprised.
But that was just the beginning.
Even after that, he showed outstanding organizational management skills through irrational absurdity and corruption innovation within the department in charge of the ability to handle work in a timely and accurate manner.
His department has always been a model for heaven.
The stigma of being an iron rice bowl for angels has become a thing of the past.
Thanks to this, he has swept numerous citations and achievement awards.
He became a superstar in promotion screening.
At some point, he passed through a 6th-level superpowered angel.
After breaking through the rank of 5th-class reverse angel.
In an instant, he was awarded the nameplate of a 4th-class master angel.
Within thousands of years, he had reached the rank of a third-class seated angel.
He was even given the title of ‘Chief of the Summer Inspection Bureau’, which could be said to be the right hand of the first-class minister, the angel Gabriel.
A person who has passed the 9th grade and has risen to the 3rd grade.
A solid road to promotion is open in the future.
Possibly a second-class and even a first-class minister.
As such, the left angel Raphael showed off his extraordinary dignity in the heavenly world.
The same was true here in the Summer Frontera Territory.
“Hmm.”
Raphael’s emerald eyes moved.
The brilliance that he had just descended and scattered around.
I scanned the beings beyond the radiance.
I saw many people.
Skeleton soldiers were also visible.
There was even a Bone Dragon over there.
My eyes were suddenly furrowed.
‘Skeleton bone dragon. There are so many beings who defy the providence. Besides, humans who are not afraid of such beings at all. What happened to this place….’
Is it such a mess?
‘Even the flow of time is frozen and twisted due to the powerful action of mana. My butt hurts. Especially that human.’
Raphael’s eyes stopped in one place.
The human who suddenly caught the attention of the left angel flinched.
The Left Angel’s question flowed out.
“For the sake of the heavenly world, I ask, are you a human Lloyd Frontera?”
…is it? …Are you? …peel?
There was a holy wave in her voice.
It spread widely in all directions.
Thanks to this, the skeleton soldiers and Yongyongyi trembled all over.
Lloyd, who received the question, did the same.
‘…with him! My ears will fall off!’
He shuddered involuntarily and shook his head violently.
Hearing was sensitive because of Sword Master Syndrome. However, a being that appeared out of nowhere was asking a question in a sacred and majestic voice.
It was painful because the full echo in that voice was not burdensome.
It felt like my eardrums would burst.
“That sucks yes. you’re right?”
Lloyd frowned arrogantly and barely answered.
I think what are you doing?
Why did you come into someone else’s construction site on your own?
Then, if you get hurt after an accident, who are you trying to blame?
I wanted to ask, but I held back.
A holy radiance that rains down on the opponent.
Overwhelming dominance emanating from the voice and the whole body.
That was what raised his vigilance to the highest level.
‘I don’t know what he’s doing, but he’s not normal. Let’s not be hasty to look bad. Let’s find out who they are and why they came.’
He bristled his eye antennae.
He asked, frowning at the still hum of hearing pain.
“But who are you?”
“My name is Raphael, the Supervisor of the Underworld Supervisory Board, the left angel of the heavens.”
The left angel, Raphael, also frowned.
“But you Lloyd Frontera and the silver-haired person next to him. The two of them must have been to hell in recent decades. Somehow it smells very unpleasant.”
“Uh, that….”
“All right. Didn’t you come down because of that business now?”
Lloyd’s clarification he was trying to bring out.
The left angel cut it so that he couldn’t even take it out.
And he raised the sacred scroll in his hand.
He spread his hands with a dignified gesture.
He read the contents of the scroll in a firm yet stern voice.
“Summer Illegal Construction Demolition Order. Lloyd Frontera, the client of the underworld. Aotearoa, the treasure of truth for buildings to be demolished.”
“…yes?”
“The building is an illegal summer building designated as a facility related to air leakage. Therefore, we order the demolition of the building in accordance with Article 8, Paragraph 1 of the Act on Special Measures for Maintenance of Illegal Buildings and Article 5, Paragraph 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act.”
“Wait a minute….”
“Notice. If you are dissatisfied with the demolition order of an illegal building, you can apply for cancellation through earnest prayer within 30 days of receiving the demolition order. However, in accordance with Article 8, Paragraph 3 of the Act on Special Measures for the Maintenance of Illegal Buildings, we inform you that when a request for cancellation through prayer is rejected, the demolition order must be executed immediately.”
“What is it?”
“To explain, I am notifying you that Aotearoa, the jewel of truth you are constructing, is a Class 1 illegal building designated by the heavens, and therefore construction must be stopped and demolished immediately.”
“….”
“Do you have any objections?”
“yes!”
Lloyd exclaimed coldly.
It had to be.
Seriously, it was because it was so absurd.
‘No, the Jewel of Truth is an illegal building. That’s why we have to stop construction right now and demolish it. What kind of satanic babbling is this?’
I didn’t understand.
I gathered the core materials while working so hard.
So I thought I should just build a jewel.
It was finally nearing completion.
‘Suddenly, out of nowhere, he came down from the sky saying bam, huh? Since it is an illegal building like this, it needs to be demolished. Then, did you think that I would giggle, saying, “Oh, heaven or heaven, it’s the decision of the high-ranking people, so lowly human beings have to follow it?” It’s ridiculous to think about it, really.’
I think he’s a left angel or something.
I just wanted to hit one with a shovel handle.
What bullshit are you talking about?
Why do I have to get permission from you guys to build a building I sweat here?
I wanted to hold the blood in my neck and question it.
No, before that, I wondered if there had ever been a case like this where people randomly entered someone else’s construction site without permission.
I even wanted to kick him out of the field right away.
But Lloyd didn’t.
Instead of holding the shovel handle, he let go.
Instead of straining his throat, he calmly smoothed his voice.
Instead of kicking them out of the field, they were equipped with kind eyes.
Just like that, wearing a smile on your face in social life.
I asked as if clinging to the left angel.
“Hey left angel teacher?”
“This is Raphael.”
“Oops, yes. Mr. Raphael?”
“….”
“First of all, the construction will be busy, but in the midst of that, you really put a lot of effort into getting here. Have you eaten?”
“I did.”
“Ahaha that’s right. Then, since you’ve come all the way here, how about having a cup of tea for dessert?”
“Drank.”
“…ah yes Then, instead of standing here and talking, why don’t we go to the break room over there and have a calm conversation? Just because they brought a soft sofa.”
“I’ll just talk here.”
“…Cool.”
Lloyd coughed up blood.
I was embarrassed inside.
First of all, it seems that this angel is right.
It is surprising that an angel suddenly descended (?) like this.
It’s shocking that they’re going to demolish a well-built jewel.
‘Even this guy is a complete sweet pumpkin.’
There was a sense of uncompromising resoluteness.
But he didn’t give up.
Still risking social life with a smile.
I tried negotiating with the Left Angel.
“Keuhmm uh, uhm, I have something I want to ask you.”
“Let me know if you have any questions.”
“yes. If you build all the jewels of truth here. Is that possibly causing damage to the heavens where you live?”
“There will be no damage in Heaven. However, there will be great confusion in the underworld.”
“yes?”
“The jewel of truth, Aotearoa, is a building that allows you to glimpse the secrets of the future. A leak of heavenly secrets could lead to a situation in which many tribes are engulfed in confusion and tragedy.”
“Ah, so you’re saying it’s designated as an illegal building?”
“That’s right.”
The left angel nodded resolutely.
Seeing that, Lloyd cried out in his heart.
‘What kind of bullshit is that? You say you can’t build it because it can be dangerous? Then, get rid of the sword from the world! Because that could lead to murder!’
It was unfair.
what are they
It’s dangerous, so judge Marnie.
Are you trying to prevent this from happening?
Lloyd suppressed the resentment he was feeling and smiled calmly.
“Hey, then, can’t we use it carefully? Besides, this jewel is a building that already existed in the age of mythology.”
“And it was destroyed. It has been designated as an illegal building.”
“It’s because of the great war of the Age of Myth….”
“The great war itself was caused by heavenly intervention. Because it gave the beings of the underworld a chance to voluntarily remove the jewel with their own hands.”
“What is that….”
“Since there seems to be nothing more to share, I will execute the demolition order.”
“yes?”
Lloyd was startled.
It was because Raphael, the left angel, immediately moved after completing the dialogue.
Passing by this surprised side as it is.
Flying toward Book, which is about to be completed.
It was because he raised a huge mace.
The meaning of the action was clear.
‘crazy! really? You’re going to demolish the jewel like this?’
This wasn’t quite so resolute.
No words were eaten at all.
Because everything is arranged according to the will of heaven.
Let the beings of the underworld obediently obey its will.
…It was a look and action that seemed to declare that.
That really pissed Lloyd off.
‘What bullshit is this!’
Is this the feeling of the residents of the redevelopment area who are driven away by the demolition service company for only receiving cheap compensation?
Unbeknownst to me, I burst into tears.
At that moment, Lloyd was already running.
Grabbing the shovel I had put down.
I ran with all my might.
It crossed in front of the workers who had been surprised by the arrival of the angels from earlier.
Jump beyond familiar field work tools and materials one after another.
Finally, he blocked the left angel in front.
But he wasn’t angry.
I chose a much wiser course of action.
Kneeling at the speed of light.
Looking up at the left angel with a deliberately pious look.
In a sincere voice that doesn’t feel a single gram of self-interest.
He began to put his sincere and sincere comments on his tongue as if he were setting up sushi rolls.
“To the Father and the Son, no, to the heavens, the earth, the clouds, the wind, the angel who descended before me, and all the innocent souls on this earth, I offer my earnest and sincere prayers!”
“…what?”
The left angel flinched.
pray?
now?
Are you praying like this?
While Raphael stared blankly in disbelief.
Lloyd’s devout(?) prayer led to the medley.
“Yes, I pray. I pray earnestly to the angel. I will continue to pray today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will pray here until my hands wear out and my knees turn to dust until you hear me. Then, someday, will my earnest prayer fly to the angel’s ear? If you would please say so, I would be so grateful that I would shed tears of repentance and praise the angel’s kindness even more.”
“Wait a minute….”
“So I pray even more! Until the day my earnest prayer reaches the heart of an angel! Definitely here! I keep going! I will offer my prayers!”
“Look at this? Wait, really, wait.”
The embarrassed left angel stopped even walking and restrained Lloyd.
He asked with a serious face.
“Could this be a formal complaint through prayer?”
“yep.”
Lloyd nodded at the speed of light and added.
“Wasn’t the left angel like that? It means that you can apply for a formal cancellation request for demolition through civil petitions through prayer.”
“….”
“But now that I see it, it seems that my prayers have just been reached. I am very fortunate.”
“….”
Lloyd laughed happily.
A look of frustration flickered in Raphael’s eyes.
The third-class left angel thought without knowing it.
I wondered if this person could be Satan.
