Chapter 105
#Episode 105
The creature wanted respect from me, but I had no intention whatsoever of coexisting with trash that offered humans as sacrifices.
Following the thick scent of death, I was able to reach the underground where those things dwelled without any other guide.
Underground, there was a barrier that looked like an ordinary wall to regular people, but even that reeked of such terrible red malice that it made my nose scrunch up.
“They’ve plastered it with human corpses.”
I gathered death force in my hand and tore the barrier apart.
The thick iron door beyond the wall was torn away along with the barrier, revealing the sinister interior.
“Ugh…”
“This is pretty severe…”
Inside, the room was made from human skin, with human flesh, limbs, and facial skin grotesquely exposed.
It was so horrific that Jinu was dry heaving repeatedly.
The last bit of mercy remaining in my heart melted away like snow.
Kill them, I must kill them for certain.
If not, more victims would appear.
With the intention of killing them the moment we met, I scattered death force wildly.
It carried a strong provocation meaning “come if you dare” to show I was here.
The owner of this space couldn’t tolerate this level of insult either, as an ominous red storm swept through the entire space.
I charged forward, cutting through the storm with death force head-on.
My companions also followed me in anger, filled with hatred.
At the end of the path lined with human skin was a round vault-like door made of red meat chunks, with eyeballs rolling around and writhing as if alive.
It was so horrific it made me want to vomit, beyond just being terrible.
What kind of lunatic were they offering human sacrifices to that things had reached this level?
I didn’t even want to touch it, so I cut the door into squares with my scythe.
As soon as I headed inside, attacks immediately began flying at me.
Crimson flames flew toward me and I cut them all down with my scythe.
“Kugh-!”
What I felt while cutting down about ten flames was that they were heavier than expected.
Since human-made fireballs couldn’t make me feel this way, I realized this was borrowed power.
‘Where exactly are they borrowing power from to reach this level?’
Just from fireballs alone, I was being pushed back each time I blocked them.
If the main body appeared, it would obviously become troublesome.
[It’s a noble, a noble of Hell.]
‘A noble?’
[They’re called demons. Judging by the power hierarchy, it’s at least a count level…]
‘How strong is a count level?’
[If the main body descends, you’d have to risk your life.]
‘Oh no…’
Then this was the worst case scenario.
Even if I somehow survived, I couldn’t guarantee my human companions’ lives.
“I’m going full power from the start, everyone cooperate.”
“Got it.”
This entire area falls within the range of the Black Shrine.
The man who had become so corrupted it was hard to believe he was once a descendant of the Knight King frowned.
“Again…! Once more! Do you plan to interfere with me… with us, Lord of Souls?!”
“What’s that about…”
[He’s talking about me. I dragged all the ones trying to crawl out back to Hell.]
‘Ah…’
No wonder he was so venomous, it was because of that.
Of course, even so, what I had to do didn’t change.
“If you’re destined to lose anyway, just stay there and live, don’t think about crawling out.”
“Shut up!”
As if the earlier attacks were child’s play, even more massive flames erupted.
A wave of flames so huge it could crush one’s spirit tried to engulf me, but within the Black Shrine, I am absolute.
Black Reapers appeared and cut through all the flame waves, beginning to charge at the creature.
Just as two Reapers crossed front and back to cut the creature’s neck.
The dimension tore open and hands made of flames appeared.
The two hands grabbed my Reapers and burned them to extinction.
But as if waiting for this, my companions’ combined attack began.
I changed strategy to maintaining the domain while supporting my companions’ attacks as much as possible.
If I went wild, the castle might collapse.
Since the Queen, Prime Minister, and nobles were currently staying there, if the castle collapsed and they were crushed to death, there would be no greater catastrophe.
One arm began to be suppressed by Rey and Yeo-ul’s close-range combined attack.
The remaining arm was carpet bombed by Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and Jinu, while Hunter Kang Cheol-u handled the main body’s attacks.
Of course, all of this was fundamentally possible because I was pressuring both arms.
Black spears snipe from all directions—up, down, front, back, left, and right.
Since it’s an attack from within the Black Fortress where all presence has been completely erased, it’s extremely difficult to react to.
The two arms also gnashed their teeth in fury at that attack, but it wasn’t enough to break through my teammates who were receiving my support.
“Why do you interfere with me in the past and present! We are merely ignorant people who just want to live under clear light—!”
[You like calling yourself ignorant. Despite being trapped in eternal hell for your sins. That’s escape, and it’s your karma.]
Of course, the monster couldn’t hear Senior’s words, but being in hell was unbearably painful for it.
The flames gradually began to die down.
The murderous aura that had filled the room grew thin, and just when it seemed like the end was in sight.
“If I can’t get out anyway… I’ll at least open my gate of beginning to gain glory.”
With those words, the two arms suddenly grabbed a human’s arms.
Then it tore the body in half and the mouth in its hands devoured the flesh.
“What the hell…?!”
“Ugh… disgusting.”
But as if that was the trigger, the two protruding hands grabbed the air and tore through dimensions.
What revealed itself from within was a red giant with its entire body ablaze, having two legs, six arms, and one eye.
My teammates naturally clicked their tongues at the sight of a monster that truly looked like it belonged in hell.
“Do all the guys living in hell originally look like that?”
[It changed to look like that. Hell wouldn’t be hell for nothing, would it?]
“Ugh… how disgusting.”
Just as I was about to grip my weapon and continue the battle, suddenly a pure white halo began bursting from behind me.
It wasn’t mine, but someone else’s.
“…Seo Iram?”
Seo Iram, spreading pure white light from her eyes and entire body, spread sacred wings behind her back like an angel would have and glared at the demon.
The demon trembled its body madly from just that gaze alone and bowed its head.
“Wh… why… why are you in this place…”
As if to say this is when perfect counters should be used, the demon’s murderous aura was completely suppressed and couldn’t even be unleashed.
The massive body began shrinking and eventually returned to human size, with the demon finally kneeling.
It seemed like it had already submitted to the overwhelming difference in rank without even thinking of fighting.
From the feeling and looking at the soul’s flow, it seemed like the god that Seo Iram serves had descended into her body, appearing to be an absolute being of the absolute good faction that overwhelms demons.
Seo Iram pointed at me, then moved her finger to the demon.
I felt like I had become an executioner as I severed the monster’s neck with my scythe.
The monster couldn’t even think of resisting once and died with its neck severed.
For something Senior said I’d have to risk my life for, it was a rather anticlimactic act.
After confirming the demon was definitely dead, Seo Iram returned to normal and lost consciousness.
She fell limply into my arms, but fortunately she seemed to be sleeping as her breathing was steady.
‘Senior.’
[I can’t tell you.]
‘…Senior.’
[I said I can’t tell you.]
‘Sen.ior.’
I couldn’t compromise on anything concerning my teammates, regardless of other matters.
After several rounds of pestering, Senior let out a deep sigh and uttered just one word.
[Angel. I can’t tell you anything more than that.]
‘An angel… that’s enough for me.’
I was worried about what I’d do if some god trying to exploit Seo Iram appeared, but if she’s an angel, that’s rather fortunate.
After all, angels have a positive image, don’t they?
“So what should we do with this now…”
“First, shouldn’t we inform the Prime Minister and the Queen? About the princess matter too.”
“It’ll probably be covered up. Having something like this happen in a nation’s Royal Palace could lead to questioning their very capabilities.”
“Hmm… let’s do that for now.”
After watching the hell Gate close until the very end, we returned to the Ground.
Naturally, the Royal Palace was put on emergency alert.
* * *
That night, after handling the affairs in the United Kingdom and falling asleep.
In my dream, a pure white being was watching me.
It was a gaze filled with affection and love within an infinitely warm stare.
The being with countless eyes soon changed form, transforming into a human female form as similar to me as possible.
It was a being with a ring above its head and pure white wings on its back, and the power I felt from its skin was infinite enough to remind me of Senior.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t secure proper vision due to the pure white light infinitely emanating from her body.
Knowing this, she made an awkward expression and spoke to me in an affectionate tone.
“Do not fear me, Monarch… I have no intention of being hostile toward you.”
With one gesture of her hand, the gray Space transformed into a vast flower field.
It was an endlessly beautiful field of blooming flowers, each flower being a spectacular sight made of jewels.
As if to enjoy teatime, she created a Table and chairs and sat down first.
“You must have many questions for me, don’t you?”
“I suppose so.”
That angel is probably the one who made a contract with Seo Iram.
The overwhelming power she showed against the demon earlier confirms it.
Before sitting in the chair, I first bowed my head.
“I am Cha Hyeon-su, Lord of Souls. My race is human.”
At my introduction, her eyes widened, then she smiled broadly.
“Do you require an introduction from me as well?”
“If you would be so courteous.”
She rose from her seat, placed her hand on her heart, and bowed her head.
“It is an honor to meet you. I am the King of Angels, the most radiant being who serves His command, Metatron.”
“Metatron… is that your true name?”
“Of course.”
Unlike Senior, Metatron seemed to have no problem revealing her true name as she smiled faintly.
Only after hearing her name did I sit across from her and slowly begin our conversation.
“First, I want to thank you for what happened today.”
When I bowed my head, Metatron waved her hand dismissively.
“I didn’t do it to receive thanks. That was simply our destiny. Please raise your head.”
“By destiny, you mean dealing with demons?”
“There are many tasks, but that is indeed the most representative one.”
Hmm, I see.
I didn’t know angels had various destinies as well.
Though that’s not what I’m curious about, of course.
“To get straight to the point… how did you end up entering our girl’s body?”
An angel, a special being that’s neither a Monarch nor anything else.
I need to know why a being like Metatron would choose Seo Iram.
“Hmm… among those near the Lord of Souls, that child had the purest and most clear soul.”
“…That sounds like it had to be someone specifically by my side.”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Metatron nodded and gestured with her hand.
A pure white barrier formed around her and me.
It meant the story she was about to tell would cause problems if it leaked outside.
“To put it bluntly… our greatest objective is to destroy the Divine Seat.”
