Episode 158
158. Akashic Records
As soon as Bayer arrived on the ground, he looked around.
[I wondered where the signal came from and it was here?]
The place he arrived was the Secret Cavern, the most secret place in the Holy Empire.
It was an altar where oracles were made.
Kalen, who had been squatting on the floor due to Ryumin’s force, suddenly raised his head and smiled.
[Hey, battle angel!]
Bayer frowned as he saw Kallen running up to him and clinging to his wings.
[Was it you who sent the relief signal?]
[Yes, that’s right!]
widely-!
Bayer pushed Kalen, who was clinging to him with his wings.
[It’s uncomfortable, so don’t get too close. How pitiful they were captured by humans and made to go through such troublesome trouble.]
[Sorry.]
Kallen had no choice but to lower his head.
The heavenly world is a vertical society divided into classes.
Just the fact that the 9th rank called the 6th rank for help was quite noticeable.
In the human world, it was like a private calling a sergeant.
[Tsk, tsk, it really sucks to be beaten by a human.]
[There is no shame in it… … .]
[Okay.]
[yes?]
Bayer smiled.
[Thanks to you, I can now play with humans. I was already bored to death.]
Bayer’s gaze turned to the center of the cavity.
A human being is seen standing tall holding a scythe.
[Is that human?]
[yes yes! you’re right. Please just break my arms and legs!]
[Is that all it takes? I have to rip out his intestines alive and wrap them around his neck, kihihihi.]
I was already looking forward to seeing Bayer with his bizarre smile.
I felt better when I thought of the screams of humans in pain and the blood and intestines flowing out like juice.
The drowsiness had long since disappeared.
‘I’ll play with it while chopping it up step by step, starting with the arms and legs.’
Inferior humans are no match for a battle angel.
This remains the same no matter how many players inherit the power of the system.
‘It’s been about 10 rounds now, so I guess you’re level 40?’
Is level 40 attacking you?
A snort came out of Bayer’s nose.
‘I don’t know if it’s level 99, but anything below that is not worth dealing with.’
It has a certain vibe, but it doesn’t look that strong.
Sereung-
Bayer folded his wings and pulled out the sword from his waist.
Soon, golden divine power emanates from the sword body.
It was [Holy Auror], a battle angel’s skill that could cut through steel like tofu.
[Hey, human. Isn’t life fun?]
“… … .”
[You mess with an angel without even knowing the subject. Can we see this as wanting to die right away?]
Instead of answering, Ryumin took out four potions from his inventory.
This time, they were intermediate strength, agility, intelligence, and luck potions that I received from Victor.
With the ignition word ‘use’, the contents of the potion seeped into Ryumin’s mouth.
I didn’t feel any taste or change, but I could tell from the message.
[Strength increases by 8 for 24 hours.]
[Agility increases by 8 for 24 hours.]
[Intelligence increases by 8 for 24 hours.]
[Luck increases by 8 for 24 hours.]
All stats have increased.
Ppajik-
I feel like I can hear the string of reason being broken somewhere.
From what I could see, Bayer’s cheeks were shaking.
[How dare you suck on a potion in front of me… … .]
It seems that the leisurely use of time was an eyesore.
A sigh came out of Ryumin’s mouth.
[Do you even sigh?]
Just a sigh?
Ryumin patted his head.
“Anyway, angels, these heads are the problem.”
[what?]
“I wonder how they received their education in heaven, so they all look down on humans. “Do you receive any kind of brainwashing training?”
[…] … .]
Bayer, dumbfounded, raised his sword as if it was no longer worth talking about.
He planned to cut off the guy’s limbs one by one with his specialty, the quick sword.
‘Then I’ll rip open the belly skin, take out the organs one by one, and show them to you.’
I have no intention of killing him gracefully.
After dismembering its limbs as painfully as possible, we will slowly play with it and kill it, using its screams as music.
[human. Even if I die, I regret meeting me… … .]
Bayer, who was about to strike his sword, stopped.
At some point, the human body turned translucent, and black energy flowed out and enveloped the entire body.
It looks like it is surrounded by black smoke.
So much so that I can’t even see my face.
‘What is that?’
Although it was a Shinigami painting, it was only surprising to him who didn’t know much about the player.
‘The atmosphere is unusual.’
Bayer, who felt an instinctive sense of crisis, narrowed the distance as if bouncing.
In times like these, playing first is the answer.
Shoo shoo shoo shoo!
The quick sword imbued with aura embroidered the darkness like a beam of light.
However, there is no feeling of touching the tip of the sword.
It was after that that Bayer’s eyes widened.
‘You avoided everything?’
I aimed for the top with six thrusts in about 2 seconds, but I avoided them all.
‘It’s a coincidence. It must be a coincidence. It must be a coincidence.’
I think I need to check it again to find out.
The tip of Bayer’s sword moved, leaving a golden afterimage.
Shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo!
‘Did you avoid everything this time too?’
I’m confident that I can’t lose to a 5th rank angel in terms of speed, but why?
Why doesn’t the sword in front of me fit the person?
“Is it because you really don’t know the reason?”
[what?]
“It’s simple.”
Ryumin’s scythe flashed diagonally.
“I’m faster than you.”
Cheonggang.
Bayer lost his grip and fell to his knees.
[Gawk, gag… … .]
Golden blood was flowing endlessly from his long, torn chest.
dump-
Just one room.
Nothing more was needed to defeat the 6th rank angel.
Kallen’s face became contemplative at the unbelievable scene.
‘Well, the battle angel died without being able to do anything… … .’
As far as Kallen knows, no matter how bad a battle angel is, it is good enough to deal with a level 99 player.
How could such a being be treated so absurdly?
‘Could that human be even level 99?’
Kallen immediately shook her head and corrected her thoughts.
‘No, that can’t be possible. There has never been a player in history who has already reached max level by reaching round 10… … .’
“hey.”
[…] … yes?]
Kallen answered politely without realizing it.
“Bring more.”
[More, more?]
“Okay, if you don’t want to be left behind, hurry up. “Because my body is itching to die.”
[ah… … yes.]
Kallen did as he was told and sent out a rescue signal again.
With the message that as many troops as possible are needed.
‘This time, please kill that human bastard!’
I waited with such earnest heart, and after a while, the troops appeared.
There were five 6th rank battle angels.
Kallen’s face turned bright red as if nothing had happened.
‘good! That’s enough to kill an arrogant human… … .’
[Aaaah!]
[Wow!]
[Aaaah!]
Kallen was shocked by the sudden scream.
I didn’t see how many times I swung the scythe.
All you see are angels falling in vain, sprinkling golden blood.
“are you kidding? Call me the stronger one. hurry.”
Kalen swallowed his saliva at Ryumin’s words.
Now I see that he was not an ordinary strong person.
* * *
Akashic Records.
A hyperdimensional collection of information in which everything in the universe is recorded.
An angel opened the door to the huge library.
Rumbling-
Normally not everyone could come in, but he deserved it.
After all, he was the one called the Seven Archangels.
[Remiel, are you here?]
[Rubuahi.]
Lubuahi is a thought form that manages and protects the Akashic Records.
When it came to libraries, he was a librarian.
thud-
Only after the opened door closed did Remiel spread his wings and flew to the center.
For Remiel, the Infinite Library, filled with records of the entire universe, was a great place to kill time.
[Did you stop by today to take a peek at records from another world? Remiel.]
[okay. Is there a story you can recommend?]
[There is a good story.]
As soon as Rubuahi finished speaking, a book floated down.
[This is a story you might find interesting.]
[okay? Let’s look forward to it.]
Remiel smiled and looked at the title of the book.
[hmm? This is a record of a person called Black Scythe… … .]
I didn’t know who it was, but I thought it would be interesting, so I flipped through the pages.
And soon I knew who it was.
[Isn’t this person currently playing a game of survival on Earth?]
[you’re right.]
[What’s interesting about this kind of human story?]
[Please read a little more. You will definitely be interested.]
Since Rubuahi’s words were never wrong, Remiel persevered and turned to the next page.
And soon, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
[What a great human being. It’s only been 10 rounds and I’m level 89. Players at this point probably haven’t even reached master level.]
[Not only that. Let’s continue watching.]
Remiel continued to express admiration as he looked at the records written in the book.
[I can’t believe we have maintained first place in the entire district from the first round until now. Besides, what is this? You broke the Akashic Records record twice?]
In the book, the record of time attack of 1 second and the record of breaking through the 99th floor of the Tower of Trials were engraved in golden runes.
[I’ve seen countless people, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone like this.]
[Look at that. I thought you would be interested, right?]
It’s definitely interesting.
But only a little.
This alone was not enough to attract Remiel’s attention.
[If this is the end, I’m a little disappointed. It’s true that he’s definitely an interesting person, but the story isn’t interesting.]
Remiel fluttered over to the next page.
Black Scythe’s movements and growth process were recorded in detail, but I just skimmed through them without paying attention.
[Just looking at it, I’ve already reached level 89 with amazing growth. At this rate, he appears to be a strong candidate to fulfill his wish in round 20.]
[Contrary to what you say, you look interested, right?]
[No way. No matter what the outcome of the survival game is, why should I care if I’m not running out of Congo? Lubuahi. You probably know my tastes, right? I’m more interested in mating between a goblin and a human woman than a human like this.]
[I know. But would you like to turn to the last chapter?]
[There is no need to look.]
[I’m sure you’ll be interested.]
When I repeatedly suggested it, Remiel pretended not to win and gave it a try.
[huh?]
Eventually, Remiel frowned as if he saw something he couldn’t see.
[What is this? He killed 15 battle angels?]
[yes. He is the only player who raised a sword against an angel.]
[Ha, for such an ordinary human being to be so arrogant. This is absurd.]
At that time, a new phrase appeared on the page Remiel was holding.
[One more angel was just added.]
[Does this mean we are fighting in real time?]
[It seems so.]
Your troops are currently dying?
To mere humans?
I didn’t know because it was in the Akashic Records.
Because here, connections with the rest of the world are blocked.
[Haha, you are such an interesting person.]
I was more interested than angry.
How dare you decide to kill an angel.
Thinking that he might be a more interesting person than expected, Remiel moved his wings.
fluttering-
[Are you going?]
[I have to go. As an archangel, you can’t just sit by and watch as your subordinates are being cut off like expendable items, right?]
Rumbling-
Remiel went out the door.
Seven archangels go to meet humans who can be eliminated by sending only first-rate battle angels?
Normally, this would have been impossible.
[Look. I thought you would be interested, right?]
Rubuahi muttered in the deserted library.
