63. Meeting the Fallen Angel (5)
After the two beings left, Yulgeum created a small bead of light at the tip of Gabriel’s nose.
Gabriel opened his eyes.
He exhaled harshly and stood up straight away.
Standing up straight, she looked around.
Kamael, Yulgeum, and Raguel were seen.
I barely got hit by the devil and fainted.
Even before the old angels.
Gabriel, Michael Uriel, and Raphael were called the great angels of the New Testament.
The ancient gods and the first angels. Unlike the older ones, there was a sense of pride in the fact that they were archangels created by God with special consideration.
I felt sick from my crushed pride. I ended up vomiting blood.
It seemed like his heart was hurt more than his spirit body.
Yulgeum opened his mouth.
“Did losing to him
hurt your pride that much?”
“It’s you. “You were a trickster.”
“I wish so, but… Kamael was defeated by him not long ago. “It may already be out of our hands.”
Gabriel gritted his teeth.
“The restraints…
“The only time you can take them off is when judgment day comes and you have to blow the trumpet. “If you take off your restraints just to fight, you will degenerate and grow black scales on your wings.”
Yulgeum looked back at Raguel
while saying the word “black scales.”
She was sitting on a chair, hugging one leg to her chest.
It seemed like he couldn’t bear it without holding something.
Gabriel glared at Yulgeum again.
“What have you done? “You can’t believe you give such power to a mere demon lord.”
“I told you. It’s out of our hands. “Do you really think I could have created something stronger than myself?”
“I guess it was foolish to go crazy. “There’s no way something like the devil
could get over the wall.”
“He is not the devil.”
“What do you mean?”
“I quit. “To be exact, it was cut.”
Gabriel sneered.
“It’s a pun again. Is it because he spent a long time as the king of the ferocious lizards? “Why are you playing such a shallow prank?”
Kamael got slightly angry.
“How about you learn more manners?”
“That’s what I want to say! “ What
are you doing?” It was at this time that Raguel, who had been licking his lips, opened his mouth.
“We are being deceived. Our master… is not like a god. That was…
Gabriel looked at Raguel with a frown.
“Surrender to evil! How pathetic! “The world respected you and called you an angel of the earth, but you fell because you could not overcome evil yourself!”
“You who cover your eyes before the truth.
Even though the black cloth darkens the world, the window is still there! Doubt and doubt. Not even your god!”
“Raguel is going crazy!”
“I was out of my mind? No, my spirit is greener than the valley water flowing from the melting snow in April.”
“If you’re not crazy, why are you blaspheming God?”
“Gabriel. Poor Gabrielle. “When did you see God in person?”
“I always listen to his words and live in the world he created. “Full of grace, always with Him.”
“Open your eyes and face the truth. Like him and her who had the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil in their mouths. Gabriel. Please answer. Have you never seen your master before?”
“Here is a fallen angel!”
“Answer me. Gabriel. Foolish Gabriel. “When on earth did you see God?”
Since the era of the New Testament, God has not appeared directly in the world.
In the past, in a religion in this world, the New and Old Testaments were divided into the early and later ADs.
The New Testament of Angels was a slightly different distinction.
There was a time when even humans climbed mountains to meet gods, just like the gods on Mount Olympus.
But at some point, God revealed himself to the angels through symbols.
He gave an oracle and answered with a rainbow and lightning.
Angels in the New Testament never saw God directly.
“You are all deceived. God no longer exists. The God we know has already left this world. The one who gives you oracles on his behalf cannot even be called a god.
He pierced me and threw me into hell. It’s time for revenge. “I will kill all living things and take revenge on the world he created!”
Gabriel brought his hand to his sword again.
“I will put you in iron restraints and bury you in the deepest part of purgatory. “I will bring shame to the demons for trampling on you.”
Despite Gabriel’s curse, Raguel only smiled.
“Poor Gabriel. “You are trembling before the truth
.”
Meanwhile, Yulgeum and Kamael looked at each other while listening to Raguel’s story.
Although I blocked Gabriel for Raguel’s sake, given the context of the conversation, I had no choice but to side with Gabriel.
Raguel is crazy.
Why are you randomly spouting such nonsense?
Gabriel got angry looking at Yulgeum and Kamael.
“What are you still doing, not covering her mouth? Are you really
planning to fall with her?” Yulgeum said with a sigh.
“I just want to find out more about what happened to her.”
“Are you planning to use Raguel to create chaos again like you did with Demiurge 666?”
“I said it was a misunderstanding. Deus he was out of my hands from the beginning.”
“Can you swear on your master’s name that you did not take advantage of him?”
“you can do it. As Jin Geum-yong, I have borrowed the power of the Demon King a few times, but that’s it.”
Gabriel closed his mouth tightly and looked at the law.
“I understand why you see it that way, but I really wanted to save Raguel, so I stopped you. If you find it hard to believe, you can put a restraint on Raguel’s body using your power. “I won’t stop that.”
“Is that true?”
“I have no intention of destroying your authority as heresy judge. “I’m just asking that the execution of the sentence be postponed just a little.”
“Since when did the definition of asking
change to using force to threaten the other person?”
“Because you are stubborn.”
“I don’t like that way of thinking! “Before you were Jin Geum-yong, you were Metatron.”
“Right now, it’s just Jingeumyong Yulgeum. Because that is the will of the Lord.”
Gabriel sighed briefly.
“Please lend me your strength. “I don’t have enough strength because of the fight earlier.”
Kamael and Yulgeum nodded in turn.
I stretched out my hand and subdued Raguel’s spiritual body
.
She tried to escape by waving her scaly gray wings, but it was impossible to defeat Kamael and the power of Yulgeum.
Gabriel shook off the divine sword Holy Lily and swung it.
A dark ring that seemed to be made of iron bound and tightened Raguel’s wings.
I writhed in pain.
The wings were broken and eventually rolled back into the wing bones, and Gabriel’s restraint sphere continued to entangle Raguel’s spiritual body.
A restraint made of leather straps and iron rings covered Raguel’s mouth. Both hands were connected by chains, and an iron corset was wrapped around the body.
Gabriel’s sword stopped. She said while looking at Yulgeum.
“No complaints, right?”
“If this makes you feel safe.”
“I will come back in the not too distant future. I’ll bring her to justice then. “I’ll bring my army, so you two don’t stop me.”
“There’s no need for that. “Before that, I will lift the curse on Raguel.”
After nodding, Gabriel disappeared into the light.
Deus returned to Kamael’s residence once Gabriel’s presence disappeared.
As soon as he saw Raguel tied up in restraints, he gave a thumbs up.
“Oh good hobby.”
Yulgeum blocked Deus’ gaze.
“Don’t tease me.”
“It’s a sincere compliment. I like things like that. Chains, handcuffs, muzzle.”
Kamael laughed.
“It’s hardcore.”
“Because you are the devil.”
Yulgeum said while looking at Zeke.
“Because he’s that kind of guy, let’s end the relationship quickly.”
“why? “Because he’s a demon, he might like things like handcuffs.”
“Zeke, you must not be tainted by evil.”
“Why are handcuffs evil? “It’s for criminals.”
Yulgeum could not find a way to explain to Zeke, who asked back with innocent eyes.
“More than that, Raguel, why did you end up like that?”
“I feel a little… crazy. “I chose to become corrupted for the sake of punishing all others, but it seems that I have truly become corrupted at some point.”
“It’s a tragic story.”
“Rather than being tragic, it might be a harbinger of something much bigger. “It is a great challenge to the world order created by God.”
Zeke knew nothing about the world order that Yulgeum talked about.
It’s just about understanding the flow of the story.
“Well, the angels will have to solve it.” Deus said, crossing his arms.
“Is the Fallen Angel such a serious thing? Isn’t this common? “It would be enough to hire a heresy judge as a full-time employee.”
“Just because it happens often doesn’t mean it’s not a big deal.”
“Rather than that, can’t you just open that mouth? You said something quite interesting earlier. “God blah blah blah.”
Yulgeum crossed his hands in the shape of an X.
“no. Because you don’t know what an angel who has lost his sense
will say! “If it were you, you wouldn’t believe anything that insults God.”
“yes. “They are more credible because they are the words of an archangel.”
“That’s why it doesn’t work. Any more insults to God will add to her sins.”
Deus looked at Raguel.
The angel who was most loyal to God is insulting God.
What on earth happened?
At that time, Zeke opened his mouth.
” yes?”
Everyone turned to look at him.
It was a random thing.
Zeke was surprised and waved his hands.
” sorry.”
” what?”
“no.”
“It’s bland.”
Deus snorted and looked at Yul Geum again.
He continued talking about whether or not he should try to remove the restraints on his mouth.
Meanwhile, Zeke kept his mouth shut.
I usually didn’t participate in conversations with my superiors(?).
To protect the fountain of humanity.
But the reason he closed his mouth at this moment was for another reason.
-You are human.
” yes?”
The words I asked back in surprise without realizing it caught my attention.
Zeke hesitated and listened to the voice in his heart.
-I am not crazy.
‘You are Raguel.’
I didn’t know how to convey my message to the other person, so I tried to think of an answer in my head.
But it seemed like that was enough.
-Yes. My name is Raguel. He is the avenger of light. Are you really a human child?
‘Yes that’s right.’
—But I feel a truly alien force within it. It is a power I have never seen before.
‘It’s called the Four Gods of Death. They are the beasts of God who destroyed the Silver Age
in the past .’
—The Silver Age? What era does that refer to?
‘I don’t know, but… they say that with the end of the Golden Age, God gave magic to humans. That era is called the Silver Age.’
-That’s an absurd story. If both the Golden Age and the Silver Age were destroyed, why do humans still exist in the world?
‘They say these are times of chaos.’
-What were the angels doing to
allow humans to perish like that ?
‘ That means
God has truly abandoned this world. The New Testament era is a false era. At the time when God did not meet the angels, God had already abandoned this world!
‘Raguel. I am a human being who knows nothing, but I hope Raguel will not insult God.’
-What I am insulting is not the true owner, but the false owner. Son of a human being. What is your name?
‘Zeke van Jade. My name is Zeke.’
—Zeke, you must listen to me. We must destroy this world ruled by false gods and welcome back the true owner.
‘Raguel, I cannot do such great things.’
-You have infinite potential. Zeke, I will give you strength. Go to the land where I slept. You must go alone, without telling anyone.
‘Raguel!’
Zeke shouted her name in his heart, but there was no answer
.
The sense of being face to face with Raguel was lost.
I couldn’t explain it in detail, but it seemed like no matter how much I tried to talk to Raguel right now, I wouldn’t be able to hear Raguel’s answer.
