Episode 222
222. VS Uriel
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
Trees are crushed and endless pits are created.
A flash-like light instantly set the whole place on fire.
However, Ryumin’s collar was not even scorched as much as the tips of his fur.
The same was true for mercenaries.
[under! You’re barely able to run away. Like a rat!]
Raguel was secretly excited as he looked at the black scythe that had already saved 30 mercenaries.
‘You damn bug. ‘How come you avoid attacks?’
He boasted that he would kill all the other humans except Black Scythe, but he was unable to kill a single person.
I used technology and even wielded a sword myself, but the black scythe helped the humans escape and saved them every time.
One step at a time, as if anticipating an attack.
‘I guess this unlucky bastard should be recognized for his speed.’
It can’t go on like this.
My pride won’t allow me to save any more humans.
‘I’ll kill them all at once with great skill.’
If you do it wrong, the Black Scythe guy will die too, but it doesn’t matter.
The goal is to bring him back alive, but he will die no matter what.
It’s okay to pretend that you had no choice but to kill him because he was stronger than you thought.
‘Either you die in heaven, you die here, you die there, whatever.’
Raguel spread his folded wings and gathered energy from all directions.
At the same time, they crossed their swords and raised them towards the sky.
This is a preparatory move for the widespread use of [Heavenly Judgment], a technique that has been used so far.
‘Why don’t you try saving this many people at the same time? Tsk tsk.’
But Raguel didn’t know.
At that moment, the hero rune stack that Ryumin had been collecting was full.
There is no longer a need to save mercenaries.
[Hero’s Rune Stack: 100/100]
[All stats increase by 100 due to the hero’s rune effect.]
[You can use ‘Hero’s Protection’ by consuming 100 stacks.]
‘it’s okay. I stacked the stack as I wanted. There’s no need to just defend anymore.’
Ryu Min grinned and turned his gaze forward.
Raguel is raising his arms and gathering energy.
‘Preparing a technique in such a defenseless position… … Are you just asking me to kill you?’
There is a need to make that stupid angel feel the difference in power.
Ryumin swallowed a laugh and jumped away in the blink of an eye.
[ah.]
Just before the technique was completed, Raguel made a dumbfounded expression when he saw Ryumin in front of him.
It’s a face that says he didn’t expect to attack at this moment.
“Even though I’ve only been defensive so far, haven’t I been too careless?”
[this… … !]
While he was panicking, Ryumin’s scythe cut his back and Raguel was cut in half and died.
No, it should have been.
If Uriel hadn’t intervened.
Flash!
At the same time as the flash of light, Ryumin’s scythe lost its aim and cut into the air.
Raguel, who was in front of me, had suddenly moved to Uriel’s side.
[Ooh, Uriel!]
[I did it appropriately, right?]
[thank you. Honestly, I was appalled.]
Although the technique I was preparing was cut off, my life was saved thanks to it.
“Tsk.”
Ryu Min had a sad expression on his face, but inside he was smiling a completely different smile.
‘I thought that guy would save me.’
I had predicted with the future runes that if I attacked at this timing, Uriel would come forward.
However, despite knowing this, Ryumin attacked Raguel.
And at a slower speed than usual to make it easier to respond.
‘I can’t kill it when there is no reward even if I kill it.’
It may have seemed like murder, but in fact, Ryumin had no intention of killing Raguel at all.
The same goes for Uriel.
That’s because there was no devil’s blessing.
‘To benefit, you must cast the devil’s blessing and then kill him.’
However, Ryumin currently only has 1 devil’s rune stack.
It is said that the blessing can only be used if you catch 99 angels.
This was the reason why they did not kill it even though they could have killed it right away, and why they showed a passive attitude of only defending themselves.
‘You can’t kill someone when there is no benefit to them. If you want to kill them, you have to catch 99 angels, give them a blessing, and then kill them.’
If you kill the archangel now, it’s like throwing away the opportunity to gain thousands of stats.
That was the reason Ryumin was glaring at the angels.
‘Then what should I do? Will he threaten his life like he did with Remiel and threaten him to call his men?
Ryumin inwardly shook his head.
Unlike other angels, Raguel is a passionate angel with a strong sense of justice and will not give in to threats.
‘I would rather choose death than compromise with a criminal.’
There is a high possibility that his superior, Uriel, will not compromise either.
Contrary to what it looks like, it seems to have a snobbish side to it.
‘If I call my subordinates, they won’t believe me even if I tell them to save my life.’
In the end, the method of threatening was dismissed.
So how can you get your subordinates to come?
‘Yeah, that would be great.’
While thinking about the operation, I can hear the angels talking.
[From now on, I will participate in the war. You are an impossible opponent alone.]
[Ha, I tried not to borrow Uriel’s power if possible… … I can’t help it.]
The two angels glare at Ryumin.
Without even knowing that they were belittling me because I had already figured out their skills.
Sereung-
Uriel took out a small dagger from his chest.
For a moment, I thought he was an assassin’s style, but I figured it out after reading his thoughts.
‘I’m not an assassin. He has a wizard style.’
As expected, the jewel embedded in the dagger began to shine and misshapen letters began to swirl around.
Ryumin guessed what kind of spell it was and threw himself away.
As soon as he did that, a golden scroll swirled around where he was.
Kwajajajajajag-!
Instead of Ryumin, the tree he was tied to shattered.
It was not a force that could be ignored as a scroll.
[I admit it was fast. but.]
Uriel chants the spell again.
[This can’t be stopped, right?]
The dagger glowed and left Uriel’s hand.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The dagger flew quickly past Ryumin’s head.
I almost lost my head, but that wasn’t the end.
The dagger, which curved like a boomerang, once again aimed at Ryumin.
Like a guided missile.
‘If it cannot be avoided, there is no choice but to prevent it.’
Ryumin raised his sickle and tried to strike the dagger.
But the moment the dagger touches.
Fuuuuuuu!
An explosion occurred and threw Ryumin far away.
“Ugh.”
For the first time since I fought the Archangel, I rolled around on the floor.
Uriel opened his surprised rabbit eyes as he saw Ryumin standing up with an angry look on his face.
[Even though I was hit by an ‘explosive dagger’, I didn’t feel any injuries. What happened to this body?]
Uriel, who had no idea that there was a title that reduces damage to divine opponents by 80%, raised his hand once again.
Flash-
The dagger, which was thought to have disappeared in the explosion, was caught in his hand and he chanted the spell again.
“He’s a picky guy.”
Although he didn’t take much damage, he is definitely a more difficult opponent than Raguel.
Ryumin, who decided to target Uriel first, ran towards him while he was chanting the spell.
In the meantime, the technique seems to have been completed, and he draws a dagger into the air.
[I forgive your sins with my death.]
Ryu Min, feeling a crisis, turned his body for a split second.
Kku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
In a split second, a storm of light and flame swept away the Forest of Demonic Beasts.
[You avoided it? Well, just as expected.]
“what?”
After completing the double casting, Uriel’s dagger sparkled with light.
Before Ryumin realized the situation, a prison of light fell from the sky.
Kuung-!
Ryumin, who felt like he was trapped in a prison without any movement, was visibly embarrassed.
Kang-kaang-! Kang!
I tried breaking the iron bars with a sickle, but it didn’t even make a scratch, let alone cut it.
[It’s over.]
[Humans can never escape from the ‘prison of heavenly punishment.’]
Raguel and Uriel smiled like winners.
He looked relieved after catching the rat that had been bothering him.
[As expected, Uriel is amazing. How can you so easily tie up a person that even I had a hard time with?]
[He moves quickly, but I’m glad he’s dumber than I thought. No, am I as stupid as I thought? Human intelligence is almost obvious.]
[Kiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu .]
The angels laughed openly, as if they thought they were rats in a poison, but that only lasted for a moment.
“The Four Gods.”
Because Ryumin’s whole body turned black and his momentum changed.
Kwaang-! Kwaang-!
Even the sound of hitting the iron bars was different from before.
It was only after five swings that I realized its extraordinary destructive power.
Pak-!
Because I broke the prison and came out.
[Oh my!]
[Where are the bugs crawling out from?]
Raguel, embarrassed, crossed his swords to use Heavenly Judgment, and Uriel also began to recite the spell.
But soon the distance narrowed to the point where we could touch each other if we just stretched out our hands.
[omg! This bug… … Shut up!]
Raguel, who was surprised, was hit by the tip of the pole and bent over like a shrimp.
When he swung the pole and hit the back of his head, his head hit the dirt with a loud bang.
But is it because Raguel bought us time?
[I will wash away my sins with death!]
Uriel’s flames rushed towards Ryumin, who had no time to dodge.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
Uriel raised the corners of his mouth when he saw that it was a good hit from the angle.
[Hehe, you foolish human being. In the end, it turned into dust and disappeared… … .]
“Who is missing?”
Uriel’s smile disappeared at the sound of a voice heard from the dust.
A rectangular barrier of darkness was erected like a shield.
Slurp-
When the barrier is lifted, a black scythe without a single scratch is revealed.
[Uh, how?]
“How did you live?”
Ryumin stepped forward with a sneer.
“Of course I survived because I was strong. Don’t you believe it? Give it a try. Even if you get hit just once, you will know right away.”
Ryumin explosively hit the ground and instantly caught Uriel’s wings.
Pudduk-!
[Kyaaaaaaa!]
When you pull it out like a green onion, the wings and feathers fall off.
I immediately memorized a spell and erected a shield of light.
Bang- Bang-
It was not enough to block the power of the scythe that had become an evil spirit.
Boom – Kwajajak!
[omg!]
When the shield broke and the scythe came in, Uriel quickly shot an arrow of light and teleported his body to the other side.
I almost got my head cut off.
[Ugh, try blocking this too.]
After memorizing the spell, Uriel completed the explosive dagger that had hit Ryumin and launched it.
Squirt-!
Ryu Min openly faced the attack, which he could never avoid since it was a guided attack.
Fuuuuuuu!
However, this time, unlike before, there was not a single scratch.
Because my entire body was already covered with a barrier of darkness.
“Am I stupid? “Are you going to be hit again by an attack you suffered once?”
[Ugh.]
At that time, Ryumin, with a relaxed smile, was trying to pressure Uriel.
visor-!
Raguel suddenly appeared from behind.
Of course, there was no way Ryumin, who had been reading through his presence detection, would welcome me.
[die! This scum-like person… … Oops!]
After dodging the attack, he stepped onto the pole and knocked the guy down.
“Did you have enemies in your past life? “Why are you making such a fuss because you can’t eat it?”
[This lowly human… … Wow!]
Ryumin, who was momentarily behind, suddenly pulled out his wings.
Ryumin, who had been pulling Raguel away regardless of whether he screamed or not, retreated like a jerk.
The scroll of light that appeared just in the nick of time wrapped around the air and disappeared.
“Did I tell you? “Once you’ve been attacked, you won’t be attacked again.”
That’s when Ryumin smiled and was about to run away again.
“ah… … .”
Unfortunately, the death of the Four Gods was released.
Ryumin’s embarrassed expression was revealed to the angels without filtering.
“f*ck you.”
Ryu Min left behind only a swear word and immediately spread his wings and left.
The angels looked bewildered as they saw the black scythe that flew far away and disappeared before they knew it.
[Well, what happened? Why is that person suddenly running away? Uriel?]
[I know.]
Even Uriel was embarrassed in a situation where he was on the defensive.
[It was a favorable situation, but why… … ?]
There were only two angels around the mess.
The other humans had already run away.
At that time, Uriel snapped his fingers.
[ah! I think I know why he ran away.]
[What is it?]
[Could it be that he ran away because he lost strength?]
[strength?]
[lets think. Didn’t that human suddenly become explosively stronger after his appearance turned black?]
Now that I think about it, it was like that.
The guy who was struggling against the two’s attacks suddenly became stronger after his transformation.
[Then, when he was revealed, he panicked and ran away.]
[ah… … so?]
[okay. I was so weak that I had no choice but to run away. Now that his ability to turn black has been released, he must have decided that he can’t handle the two of us.]
Raguel nodded as if he finally understood.
[Then now is your chance. Let’s quickly find that bug bastard and kill him.]
[I would like to, but as you can see, we both lost one wing.]
Because they lost the ability to fly, the angels had no choice but to stare at Ryumin like a dog chasing a chicken.
[Ugh… … Shit! This long-awaited opportunity has come, so you have to open your eyes and miss it!]
[Don’t disassemble it too much. Raguel. There is a way.]
Raguel calmed his excitement when he heard that there was a way.
[What method?]
[I am requesting support. [Let’s contact heaven immediately and deal with this guy together.]
[yes? But if our superiors find out, our reputation will be in jeopardy… … .]
[Who doesn’t know that? Of course, you have to call the superiors secretly.]
[Secretly?]
[Excluding the 3rd rank angels who can reach the ears of the superiors, the troops are called in with angels of the 4th rank and below. Then, even if we grab the black scythe, we can credit it to ourselves. It is natural that it does not reach the ears of the superiors.]
[Ah, that method… … .]
Certainly, if angels of the 4th rank or lower, which are in the lower middle class, are available, it will be possible to clean up the archangels without their knowledge.
[I will send a support request right away. How many people should I call?]
[When he didn’t turn black, his skills were almost on par with the two of us. From that perspective, I don’t think we need that many troops.]
[But what if it turns black again?]
[Then we would be in danger.]
The destructive power when it turned black was on a different level than when it did not.
If you call less, you might end up in trouble.
[Then what should we do? How many people should I call… … .]
[Hmm… … .]
As Uriel was thinking about it, words like a sigh came out of his mouth.
[What can I do? I have no choice but to sing as many times as possible.]
