63. Meeting the Fallen Angel (2)
Baron Delphiron came up to Katron, who was sitting in the coach seat, breathing heavily.
“No, why did Lord Hollygum sit in the coachman’s seat… No, something bigger than that happened.”
Deus opened the carriage window and stuck his head out.
“What is it?”
“His Excellency Duke Dorf…
says he has a favor to ask of the ten lords of Erion and the winner of this hunting party.”
“The winner is there. Count Selpican. congratulations. “This is your chance to become a marquis.”
“Now wait a moment!”
Baron Delphiron became thoughtful.
“Of course, it was said that the Count would take the honor, but… our family can’t handle that.”
“Yeah, we can’t handle it either. “Go.”
“Then we have no choice but to tell the truth. “Lord Hollygum,
who is staying at Holly Spindle Castle, and his companions led the hunt.”
“Are you going to lose all your honor?”
“Still I can’t do it. “It’s better than having my family perish.”
Zeke, who was in the coach seat, said.
“I’m saying that, so why don’t you listen to me?”
“Anyway, I can’t refuse someone if he asks me for help because I’m afraid he might not be a hero.”
“Yes, of course.”
The carriage stopped.
Colleagues who were driving horses around the carriage also stopped their horses.
Deus got off the carriage.
Katran and Zeke listened to Baron Delphi Ron’s story with him.
“You probably already know that Laguna Lake’s shoreline has changed.”
“I heard it’s twice as wide?”
“exactly. However, the water actually dried up in just one place. “It may be because the land rose, but thanks to that, an island was created in the center of Laguna Lake.”
“What’s the problem with that?”
“After all, that island… is where the demon dragon of Laguna is buried.”
“Malong in Laguna?”
“Originally, this lake was the place where the demon dragon was sealed. The demon dragon Laguna, who was also a subordinate of the first demon king Demiurge I, attacked here and was killed and sealed by the hero’s attack. The trace is the barrier stone of Laguna. “It is the land that rose up due to this tectonic shift.”
“It’s just exposed on the water. “Why not dig it up again and bury it?”
“This is ridiculous! If I touch the barrier stone by mistake and it wakes up… the Federation of Erion will be devastated. “The chaos of the great upheaval
has not subsided!”
“Then just leave it alone. “If no one touches it, nothing will happen.”
“Has it already
been touched?”
“It looks like the first investigation team had an accident. “Right now, a huge whirlwind has formed above the Laguna Barrier Stone, and we are struggling to figure out how to deal with it.”
“Ha, really, how stupid are you? So, how much will you be paid if you solve it?”
“I haven’t officially made a request to the Hero Management Office… but
I’m thinking of preparing compensation equivalent to a D-class request.”
“Sounds like D-class. “The destruction of the Erion Federation is at stake?”
Deus scratched his head and looked at Zeke.
His face was already full of intention. I was in the mood to run even if I was alone.
“Let’s negotiate compensation again later. If I do, I can break the seal and threaten him.”
Zeke laughed.
“That’s not a negotiation, that’s a threat.” “If one of the two letters is the same,
it is overlooked. Don’t you know what a majority is?”
Deus took only Zeke and Yulgeum and headed to Laguna Lake.
The remaining personnel were sent to Holy Spindle Castle, and the butlers Skatul and Katrun were sent to Count Selpakan to deal with the nobles.
As soon as we arrived at the lake, Yulgeum opened his mouth.
“It looks like it wasn’t a lie.”
“Is this Ma Young-gi?” It seemed that Zeke
felt the same way
that Yulgeum was watching .
The distance to the Laguna’s barrier stone was about 20 kilometers.
I could see black clouds in the distance.
Ominous ripples were reaching the shore. Above all, this energy carried by the wind must have been Ma Younggi.
I can’t believe I can feel it from this far away. It seemed like something big was buried there.
“It’s a demon dragon? “I’ve never heard of it.”
Deus tilted his head.
Yulgeum smiled at him.
“You’ve never studied anything like the history of the demon world, have you?”
“I’m not interested in stories of our ancestors’ failures.”
“So you don’t know.”
“Still, at this level, it’s worth hearing about it at least once. They say he was a subordinate of the first Demon King. “It means he’s on the same level as the Seven Dukes.”
“It’s a typically distorted myth.”
“You know? “What is that?”
“O” Hmm.
” What?”
“Fallen angel. “Fallen angel Raguel.”
“A fallen angel?”
Zeke shouted in surprise.
“Are there any fallen angels besides Lucifer?”
“There are many fallen angels. There is even a saying that one-third of angels are fallen angels. “As God’s representative, it is not uncommon to deal with humans and become tainted by their evil.”
“But there is no such story written in the temple…
Deus said to Zeke who was scratching his head.
“I guess they hid it because it was their own shame.” “Yes, but it’s all
thanks to Raguel.”
Yulgeum stepped toward the center of the lake.
The ripples fell asleep and the mirror-like path of water led to the island.
As we walked along the road, Yulgeum continued the story.
“Fallen Angel Raguel is the only fallen angel who has not fallen.”
“What is that? “What is the only full bread-like setting that doesn’t contain crucian carp?”
“Do you mean Bungeoppang?”
Yulgeum pouted her lips.
“We’re talking about something cool, but
are you going to start it with something like crucian carp bread?”
“A fallen angel who has not fallen. A virgin who gave birth to a child. Why do you guys like to talk like that?”
Yulgeum glared at Deus.
“A virgin who gave birth to a child?”
“Ah mistake. “It wasn’t about Signi, it was about the Virgin Mary in the temple.”
“fool.”
Yulgeum shook his head and opened his mouth again.
“When we angels, God’s representatives, were wondering what to do with other angels, Raguel came forward. He
was originally in charge of reporting the negativity of angels, and he met many fallen angels in person. Punishing is a simple thing, but… Raguel presented a slightly different opinion.”
Yulgeum’s story continued.
“Raguel was a wise angel. We also relied on her a lot. That’s probably why he was entrusted with the difficult role of inspection. Raguel said that even if you cut off the side branches, the root disease will not be cured. I thought that even if we punished the fallen young angels, more fallen angels would arise
. He said that if he punished one of the archangels and made them an example, the younger angels would never fall.
“You made a sacrifice.”
“She ripped off her own wings, branded herself a fallen angel, and was buried somewhere in the ground. The angels trembled with fear. Even Raguel, whom even the archangels depended on as a close friend, would not have dared to commit a mistake if he had received such punishment.”
“The place where he was sealed is this Laguna Lake.”
“God did not tell anyone where Raguel was buried. “I didn’t know either.”
Zeke folded his hands and lowered his head.
I offered a prayer of respect to Raguel.
At that time, Deus opened his mouth.
“But isn’t it too evil for something like that? “That Ma Young-gi.”
“The magic spirit is originally one of the powers of angels. To be precise, it is the energy that is in the direct and reverse position of the angel’s heavenly fighting spirit.”
“No, it’s a little different.”
Deus refuted Yulgeum’s words.
“That’s not just Ma Younggi. Pure malice. You may not be able to feel it, but… I’m used to it. Pride, anger, jealousy, lust, appetite, sloth and greed. All that evil is mixed together and screaming. There is a devil here. “That is the devil.”
“Because it played that role and was sealed.”
Yulgeum denied Deus’ words.
“Should I do it?”
“That kind of thing…
“Grant one wish.”
«Ko Ha
“That is a mass of evil. “Something like reason has already disappeared.”
“Raguel is a noble angel.”
Without giving up on their respective claims, the two quickly flew to the island where the vortex of magic energy was spreading.
Zeke arrived at the island one step later than them.
If you ask him to participate in the bet…
he will vote for Deus.
My whole body was resisting the horrifying malice.
The aura spread out without any special effort.
If that was really an angel, angel and devil would be close to synonyms.
Laguna Island was a completely different landscape from its romantic name, Island.
Can we believe that that place is real?
Space itself became entangled around the black core.
The rocks that formed the island stretched out and wound into a spiral. The tip was sharp like the edge of obsidian.
The whirlpool of darkness soared above the black core and reached the end of the sky.
A quiet whirlwind.
There was no sound around, as if even the sound was being sucked in.
Deus, Yulgeum, and Zeke stared at the black circle.
Deus made the right choice not to bring other people.
No one can withstand the power of this place.
They will go crazy or threaten to commit suicide.
All the malice in the world is gathered here and shouting in silence.
die.
die.
I felt like the negative emotions denying my very existence were choking me.
Deus smiled.
“Oh, this place is really nice.”
Yulgeum frowned.
“Bad taste.”
Zeke’s aura had already become brilliant. A disk of aura appeared at the back of the head.
The aura that had reached its peak
was in a hypersensitive state, like when dealing with the Demon King.
“Why are you in adult mode alone?” Zeke scratched his head as Deus asked him a question.
“Iknow, right. “It’s really amazing.”
“The devil himself, right?”
“yes. “If it were me before, I think I would have been crushed.”
“Are you finally starting to realize that you are not human?”
“He’s a human.”
“No human can endure this. “Isn’t it too much to be the last hero?”
Zeke was not the last hero.
Since it was something unknown, I kept my mouth shut.
“Then shall we try waking him up first?”
Deus blurted out something and moved forward.
Yulgeum said as if shouting.
“We have to seal it again!”
“why?”
“Well,
wasn’t the name of this era the Age of Chaos?”
“What irresponsible words!”
“Responsibility lies with the person who named the name.”
Deus smiled and stretched out his fist.
The storm of magic energy poured into the black bead.
Immediately after that, sudden cracks covered the surface of the black ring.
The unstable state that seemed as if it might explode at any moment eventually turned towards destruction.
Archangel Raguel began to re-enter this world.
Yulgeum bit his lip slightly.
I was actually worried about losing the bet… but
I couldn’t take my eyes off the evil black scales that covered Raguel’s brilliant wings.
Deus said while looking at me.
“You know that?”
” what?”
“I really like betting. Anyway, I owe you one.”
“Probably not! This…
Raguel opened his eyes.
Red eyes.
The accumulated blood flowed out.
“All living and breathing things must die.”
Every time he opened his mouth, the breath of death made Van She sob.
