Episode 278
278. Escape
[Ugh!]
[Save me!]
[Hey, Michael!]
Untimely screams abounded in the heavenly training camp.
Each scream became a will.
[Number of angels killed: 37/100]
… … … … … …
[Number of angels killed: 51/100]
[Number of angels killed: 83/100]
… … … … … …
… … … …
A twinkling light fell on the training center.
However, considering that the sparkle was the blood of an angel, it was not a beautiful sight.
[Number of angels killed: 100/100]
[The conditions for using the Devil’s Blessing have been met.]
[You can use it when you want by memorizing the ‘Devil’s Blessing’ starter word.]
‘Now I can use the blessing.’
Ryumin tugged at the corner of his mouth and shifted his gaze to the remaining angels.
The 5th grade angels that made eye contact were scared and ran away.
In their eyes, Ryumin was no different from the devil.
‘Are there about twenty people left?’
They all scattered like chaff, but Ryumin did not chase them.
Because the purpose of building a stack has been achieved.
However, I have no intention of using the devil’s blessing.
Not only would it be a waste to use it to catch a few 5th rank angels, but there was no time to kill Michael.
[You left your seat during the round.]
[If the player does not return to the venue within 1 hour, the player will be disqualified.]
[Time remaining until disqualification: 00:15:21]
‘You can kill Michael as much as you want later. Above all, it would be a loss to kill him now. ‘Because I’m the only angel who wants to survive until round 20.’
Right now, returning to the other world is an urgent priority.
Otherwise, the strength we have accumulated so far will disappear like a mirage.
While I was thinking for a moment, I missed a lot of angels, but it doesn’t matter.
Just one person is enough to return home.
“There, you.”
[Hehe!]
As Ryumin approaches, the angel hiding in the corner is startled.
He tried to run away, but his wings were caught by Ryumin’s clumsy hands.
“Where are you going?”
[Please save me. Please… … .]
“Do you want to live?”
The angel nods his head vigorously as if asking that question.
“Then take me to another world.”
* * *
The goddess’ face was wrinkled.
‘Why is this report so late?’
By now, it would have been time to hand over the black scythe to Plunictos.
However, there is still no report from Michael.
Nemesis complained slightly and looked for Michael with the eyes of God.
I thought I would have to scold him if he forgot to report it.
‘uh?’
But a bigger event was waiting.
‘What is that guy doing over there?’
Michael can be seen sleeping somewhere in heaven.
But the strange thing is that there is blood around the corner of the mouth.
‘no way? ‘Probably not.’
Nemesis immediately looked for the black scythe.
I see him descending into the other world, not the demon world.
With a battle angel who appears to be a hostage.
‘Dae, what happened? Why is that guy in this world… … ?’
I had an idea what was going on, but I tried to deny it.
What is certain is that we have to wake Michael up and ask him.
Damn it –
It tore through the space and arrived in front of Michael.
[Michael! Wake up! Michael!]
When I wake him up by kicking him, he slowly opens his eyes.
[Ugh, ah? Yes, Nemesis?]
[What happened? Why did the black scythe return to the other world?]
[ah… … .]
Embarrassment can be seen on Michael’s face.
At that moment, Nemesis realized that his prediction had become reality.
[Sorry, sorry… … . He was transporting the guy when he was suddenly attacked and his memory… … .]
[this person… … stupid!]
The black scythe attacked Michael and escaped.
It seems he went down to the other world after threatening the battle angel who was next to him.
At that moment, a series of messages appeared before Michael’s eyes.
[Yes, Nemesis. It is said that the 5th rank angels who were in training were attacked. It looks like it was the Black Scythe’s work… … .]
Michael reported and looked at Nemesis.
He must be quite upset as the area under his eyes is fluttering.
Nemesis burst out the anger he had been suppressing.
[how… … How could you miss a prisoner who caught them all!]
[sorry… … . Even if there are ten mouths, there is nothing to say.]
[Probably not! Of course there shouldn’t be!]
Nemesis, who was yelling, pushed Michael’s back as if this was not the time.
[What are you doing? Quickly go and catch the criminal again!]
[Oh, I understand… … .]
However, Michael was soon unable to continue speaking and looked up blankly.
[Why are you doing that?]
[Well, that’s a round… … It has ended.]
[what?]
It appears that the 17th round in progress has ended.
When this happens, the doors to the other world are closed except for the angel who serves as guide.
This means that other angels have no choice but to expend 90% of their strength to force open the door and go down.
[Michael! If you go down now, can you grab the black scythe?]
[Well, that’s difficult. It’s hard to subdue him with 90% of his strength exhausted… … .]
[But that doesn’t mean I can’t come forward!]
The gods’ rule is that they cannot directly interfere with earthly affairs.
This was the reason why angels were used instead of directly taking action.
[Damn it! Damn Michael! Why are you sleeping?]
[…] … .]
It wasn’t because he wanted to sleep, it was because he passed out, but Michael just lowered his head without responding.
[What should we do now? It wasn’t until the 18th round that I decided to hand over the black scythe to Plunictos!]
[Okay, I’ll meet with Plunictos and ask for a little more leeway.]
[You will definitely have to succeed in negotiations! Otherwise, you will have to bear the responsibility of missing the black scythe!]
* * *
Ryumin, who stepped onto the land of the other world, breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the warning window disappear.
‘If I was just 15 minutes late, I would have been disqualified.’
Is it just qualifications?
He would have lost all the power he had accumulated and reverted from being a player to being an ordinary person.
Of course, I didn’t want to be disqualified and not have to play the game of survival.
The problem, however, is that there is no way the angels will be allowed to return to Earth.
‘What is Michael doing? He’s probably being reprimanded by now, right?’
Even if it is a reprimand, you will only be scolded for missing the black scythe.
You would never think that Michael let you go on purpose.
‘They say you can only look like a clairvoyant, but you can’t hear the conversation, so they probably didn’t get caught.’
I had already heard from Michael that God has powers like clairvoyance.
That you can only look and not hear the conversation.
‘You can rest assured for the time being. You don’t have to worry about God chasing you.’
It is said that 90% of the power of a being from the heavenly world is used up to pass over to the human world.
So, they say that they can only be targeted in the other world where the round is taking place.
They say that the reason God cannot come forward directly is because of the rule that he cannot interfere on earth.
There is a lot of information I got from Michael.
Even that there is another being of higher rank above the archangel.
‘You said his name was Artaros, right?’
I thought Michael was number one in heaven, but he wasn’t.
There was one more person.
Archangel Artaros.
The strongest being in heaven.
He was truly the sky above the sky.
‘However, they said that they are classified as gods and are of a completely different level, so they are excluded from the archangel hierarchy.’
That is why Michael was called the only archangel.
‘The being I saw in the last episode is definitely Artaros.’
I thought they were somehow different from ordinary angels, but it turned out that they were gods.
‘The being who cursed me in heaven was also a god. Her name was Nemesis, goddess of vengeance, I guess?
She had purple skin and an alien-like face, so it was hard to call her a goddess.
‘Still, I can see God for a moment. It wasn’t a bad experience.’
There is information that Ryumin gained while watching Nemesis.
Unlike Michael, God’s thoughts could not be read.
‘I don’t know if it’s just Nemesis or all the other gods… … .’
This was useful information if you were to deal with Artaros.
Because he might not be able to read your thoughts either.
‘I don’t know why the guy I saw in round 16 hasn’t shown up yet… … .’
Someday, when the time comes, we will meet.
Ryumin thought so and turned his head.
It is time to let go of the guide.
“hey.”
[yes?]
“Get out of here now.”
[Oh, I understand.]
The 5th rank angel who was following stopped and quickly chanted a return spell.
-Stupid human bastard. I thought you were going to kill me, but you saved me? I’ll have to make a suggestion to my superiors as soon as I get there. Let’s kill all the bug-like humans.
As the unreasonable thoughts of an angel entered his mind, Ryumin sighed.
“It won’t work either.”
[huh?]
That was the angel’s last will.
Tuk-Degul-
Ryumin, who cut off his head with an indifferent expression, spread his black wings and flew up.
I tried to go back to the barracks, but there was no need.
[The war ended with the victory of the Kingdom Coalition.]
[We will return to the waiting area after a while.]
Ryumin, who soon returned to the colorless space, was able to meet other players.
“Black Scythe?”
“Oh, it’s Black Scythe!”
“Where have you been and now are you here?”
“You should have seen how we pushed back the imperial army!”
“It was a truly famous scene!”
The congregation felt sad as if they had missed the highlight of a soccer game, but there was no need to watch it.
Because it was obvious without even looking at it.
‘I’ve already seen it dozens of times.’
I already knew that the kingdom alliance would win.
I spent almost 6 billion gold, but it would have been unfair if I didn’t win.
[You have arrived. 286 Kingdom Alliance commanders.]
The angel guide who was waiting gave me a surprised look.
[First of all, congratulations on winning the war. Achieving victory with a poor alliance of kingdoms… … Honestly, I was surprised. I didn’t expect it at all.]
The players didn’t know either.
They never thought they would survive so easily.
‘This is all thanks to Black Scythe’s support of gold.’
People looked at the black scythe with grateful eyes.
[The two idiots who chose the Holy Empire have already been destroyed, so you don’t need to look for them. Now, shall we look at the results of the 17th round?]
