Episode 159: An angel disguised as a woman (9)
‘The referee.’
I have memories that come to mind only after I’ve been beaten.
‘It is a very dangerous skill to deceive Karma.’
Such memories are usually called warnings. A warning to be careful, a warning not to do it.
‘Because I trust and tell you about your karma sensitivity, never overdo it.’
And a warning not to overdo it.
‘It should be used only when absolutely necessary.’
And just like that, Eliel’s voice disappeared… … .
So the referee had no choice but to ask himself again.
Was it a necessary moment?
Even without using this method, wouldn’t the three young warriors be able to find the corrupted warrior?
But what if it’s late?
What if it’s too late and some ‘skill’ of the fallen warrior is activated?
“Collock, Collock… … .”
… It was an answer that could not be given now.
‘I thought it would be okay at least once in terms of the nuances Ireel was talking about… If it was a little too much, I’m sure it would end up like this.’
I had no strength in my body. He couldn’t move his limbs, of course, and he didn’t even have the strength to lift an eyelid.
“Ugh… … .”
And there was no pain.
The feeling of being bruised all over the body.
And the creepy aura seemed to rise as well as the cold.
Literally worst condition.
The referee cannot move for the time being.
‘Our kids will find it. If those children are capable, they will surely find a corrupted warrior.’
The referee now had no choice but to trust the girl warriors.
With his angelic powers completely depleted, there was no other way for the Referee, who suffered serious injuries from the recoil.
‘by the way… … .’
Where are you? Where is the referee lying now?
The overall smell of disinfectant. There was a faint scent of latex coming up from the floor, and a beep-beep-beep sound was heard next to it.
‘… Is it like a hospital?’
＜It is an angelic thing to spread good deeds through the Pyramid of Angelic Power!>
＜You have acquired angelic power.>
A multi-level angelic power that comes in at the right moment.
The referee used that angelic power to recover his body a little bit.
“Ah… … .”
It did get a little better. little.
I don’t know if it’s because of my lack of angelic power, or because I’ve been deeply wounded… He had no choice but to completely heal his body with this level of angelic power.
‘I’d try to do something if I was wearing a topcoat… … .’
However, the Angel Glove Sangtus is an item that consumes angel power just by wearing it. It was fortunate out of misfortune that I did not wear the Sangtus in this situation.
If so… … .
‘Using Sangtus while the angelic power is depleted. It must have been a bigger injury.’
Perhaps it was.
Angels are beings who live in angelic powers.
However, if the angel power is depleted and you are wearing an item that continuously consumes the angel power… … ?
‘It was really dangerous.’
The referee opened his eyes, suppressing the creeps that were rising little by little.
It was an unfamiliar ceiling.
A vaulted ceiling of wood and stone, an old chandelier swaying beneath it.
‘Medieval ceiling.’
But the objects next to it were modern. From iron beds to vital checkers. And white machines that I don’t know where to use them, and the injections and medicines next to them.
A bizarre coexistence of medieval and modern times.
If there is a place with a landscape like this… … .
“thank god. You are still Saint Lucia.”

Next to the relieved referee,
Someone whispered in a low voice.
“… You woke up.”
The owner of that voice was Lucera. The referee’s roommate.
“Miss Lucera.”
“Miss Lafri, what the hell… … .”
A girl standing next to Lucera, who can’t keep up with her words. She was an impressive girl with blue hair resembling Lucera.
“Lucera, could you spare me a little to talk to Miss Lafri?”
“But, sister.”
“hurry. It’s a bit urgent.”
Lucera couldn’t do either one or the other and was stumped. A blue girl who points to such Lucera once again.
“You said it was urgent. Don’t skip class with the excuse of Miss Lafri, and leave quickly.”
“Well then, I’ll be right back after the next class, Miss Lafri.”
As Lucera walked away like that, the blue girl naturally took her place.
Right next to the referee’s bed.
“hello. Miss Lafri, my name is Lucera’s sister Lisera.”
“… hello.”
Lisera with a faint smile.
Like Lucera’s older sister, Lisera and Lucera had many similarities. Not to mention the blue hair, the beautiful appearance was also similar.
However, the difference was that she was taller as she was an older sister, and it was an atmosphere that was not found in Lucera.
‘It’s a scary opponent.’
A strange feeling of pressure only felt by the strong.
The referee did not have the strength to be nervous and had no choice but to ask.
“What is the dragon?”
“I’m sure you know, angel.”
“… Also.”
I know that the referee is an angel.
The people in this world who know that referees are angels are the world’s most powerful people or professors. Otherwise, there were only three girl warriors.
Except for these beings, the ones who know that the referee is an angel… … .
There was only the Demon King of the Demon Realm.
So that is… … .
“You are the hero Luciel has chosen.”
It meant that girl was a fallen warrior.
“yes. That’s right.”
Lucera’s older sister Lisera nodded her head without denying it. Looking at the nod, the referee asked again.
“Why did you come to me? Have you come to finish me?”
I had to buy time. By now, Soya, Marie, and Hong-Wol must be hunting down all the girls who have gotten a lot of money.
And among them, this Lysera will surely be there.
The referee had to hold out until the three warriors found Lysera.
Lisera opened her mouth.
“no. I came to see you.”
“I’ll see you… … ?”
“Yes, I have come to pick you up with the archangel.”
The fallen archangel Luciel.
The referee sharply changed his tone as soon as he heard the name.
“Hey, do you think I’m going to be dragged along?”
“… Why are you refusing?”
“He is the Demon King. the enemy of this world. You and I are enemies. Why did you become one with the Demon King even though you are human?”
Upon hearing that, Lisera shook her head.
“The archangel is not the enemy of this world.”
“Then what is it?”
“He who purifies the world.”
A cruel smile bloomed on her face.
“Angel, why did you come to St. Lucia Academy?”
“That’s because, as a fallen warrior, you found out that you were on the verge of awakening.”
“How did you, who didn’t even know the word “Corrupted Champion” until now, recognize the existence of the Corrupted Hero at such an intriguing moment?”
“that… … .”
To explain this story, Lepriel had no choice but to come out. The referee did not want to tell the enemy about the referee.
“Are you saying that Luciel deliberately revealed the existence of the Corrupted Hero?”
“yes. Everything is according to his will.”
Why? Why did Luciel reveal the existence of the fallen warrior?
‘The fallen warrior is sure to be a powerful force. But in the unfinished state, the existence of the fallen warrior was revealed?’
Lisera still kept a cold smile, and poured out dark words to enlighten the referee.
“You still don’t understand.”
“… … .”
“Let’s think about it this way. The demon realm and the human realm are only connected by one channel. A place called the Mariana Trench is that passage.”
“A fact that everyone knows.”
“But the other world has many channels. There are many passages that connect to the demon realm.”
And Saint Lucia Academy existed in a place called Sanctuary. And the sanctuary is a realm belonging to the other world, not the human world.
Mariana could easily go to the Demon Realm without breaking through the fortress.
‘… suffered.’
The referee’s face turned slightly pale.
“huh.”
Of course, the referee didn’t show that fact like an acting angel. However, the fallen warrior still kept a gloomy smile and just looked at the referee.
“You know that too?”
“What?”
“Luciel knew that Referee-sama would manipulate fate to make me rich and supportive.”
Lisera still smiles.
“Then you can’t not prepare, right? They burned down the entire list of sponsors and decrypted all financial flows through the board of directors. Even if referee-sama’s heroes are experts in this field… It will take at least a month to find out about me.”
Only then did the referee realize. Why does Lisera keep smiling as if she’s having fun?
That smile was that of looking at the prey that had fallen into a trap.
“How the hell? Destiny manipulation is a technique for dealing with karma users… Can you even read it?”
“sure. You are an angel, and he is the archangel. The difference in class is unavoidable.”
A dark brilliance shining from both eyes of the girl. The referee grabbed the bed railing with trembling hands and stood up.
And looked straight at the fallen warrior.
‘I need to buy some more time.’
I had to buy time. It’ll take a month to find out? It doesn’t matter that it’s been a month now. I had to somehow make time.
“Tell me one thing.”
“Please speak.”
“Why the hell did you betray humanity?”
At that moment, the fallen warrior stopped smiling and had no choice but to take on a slightly darkened voice.
“I did not betray humanity. It’s just purifying the world. Keep it clean.”
“okay. But have you thought about it?”
The referee continued.
“Your brother must be included in that purification… … .”
“Ahh. Yes. But do you think I will be shaken just because of that?”
“No, don’t lie. It’s nonsense.”
The referee doesn’t know about Lisera.
However, I knew a little about Lucera.
“You will be shaken more than anyone.”
That her karma is completely clean. that it is completely pure without the slightest blemish.
‘never.’
The referee shook his head.
‘Karmaya can never exist, such a thing.’
Even the ideal angel who fell into this world had to pollute his white wings with dust. That is the law of the earth.
If there was a completely pure existence, it was nothing more than an illusion created by the madness of a certain karma user.
‘In this dark world, there is only gray. If you want to remain pure white, you need an undefiled world that comes with it.’
So the referee realized.
‘The reason St. Lucia Academy was maintained with such bright karma was not because of the magic.’
It wasn’t because of some drinking.
This place is like a clean room. A paradise that has now disappeared.
A paradise where a girl is not defiled by darkness.
The referee slowly, just carefully, reached out to Lisera’s cheek.
So the time of confession has come.
“tell me.”
The fallen warrior tried to retreat from this position, panicking. But I couldn’t back out. It was because the angel’s hand in the form of a girl was so warm.
‘This kind of situation has never been told by the Archangel… … !’
The referee asked again.
“Tell me how Miss Lucera died.”
