88. Didn’t even have a little bit left?
“It’s a really crazy level of magic.”
Orhel stuck out her tongue and stepped into the Karnai ruins.
He was so amazed that I suddenly became curious.
“Is it such a difficult skill to open the way to this space?”
“Of course, Brother. Did it look easy then?”
“No. Then, if you hadn’t met Petriel, how would you have thought of coming in?”
With a wink, he pointed to the sword stuffed at my side.
“My eyes, it’s not a form. The skill my brother showed with his sword when fighting Drettnor. I saw it clearly. He cut through space.”
“……”
It was…the first person to notice it.
Is a load a load?
Orhel had a knack for surprising people from time to time.
He walked again, looking straight ahead.
“I was thinking of having Brother do it. I don’t know where Gauriel’s wings fell in the Karnai ruins, but I know the location of the Karnai ruins themselves. If Brother wields his sword at the boundary…”
Orhel looked at me and smiled slightly.
“My brother would be able to solve it enough. That’s what I thought.”
It wouldn’t have sounded impossible.
Actually, I’ve seen something similar to this before.
‘Ledeia’s dimensional magic.’
If I cut it with the feeling of cutting it, I should be able to make it long enough.
Even if it couldn’t reveal the entire space like this in an instant like Petriel.
Of course, it was a completely different dimension for me to realize that and for Orhel, who had been watching for a while, to realize it.
I entered inside Karnai, admiring Orhel’s power of observation in my heart.
* * *
“Karnai. It is the name of a huge ancient empire that was destroyed long ago. This Karnai was originally a place like a first line of defense built to prevent the invasion of demons.”
Petriel, who was standing at the very front, suddenly stopped walking.
“They were brave, and they were ready to die. The six-winged angels admired them and blessed this land. That was the beginning of the Karnai Empire.”
Then he turned to us and asked.
“Do you know why this ancient empire that was so huge collapsed?”
“……”
“……”
“……”
No one answered that question.
Of course, I didn’t know the story that didn’t come out in detail in the original story.
The others also seemed to have little information about the Karnai Empire.
Petriel seemed to know that.
Feeling ridiculous, he nodded his head with a sneer.
“I’ll tell you this myself. It’s something I can’t enjoy easily, so I hope you’ll pay attention to it. Here, the Karnai Empire has prospered under the protection of our angels, being recognized for their bravery in fighting the demons.”
He turned his gaze to the buildings that once made up the Karnai Empire.
Now they all fall apart one by one.
It looked as if a war had swept through it.
“Humans have always been creatures with endless greed. Of course, thanks to that, they have made progress faster than any other species…”
Now Petriel’s gaze turned back to me.
“I have always not liked it. Think about it. How much damage can creatures with infinite greed really do? Even the Karnai guys weren’t that different.”
Petriel shakes her head.
“We, the angels of the heavens, punished them on behalf of God.
The moment he said that he killed everyone.
The corners of Petriel’s mouth were raised subtly.
“I descended to the ground and struck their necks. It was an honor for them.”
Is it an honor to die to someone who smiles as he remembers the memory of annihilating an empire?
I thought it was a rich year.
He spoke with a drunken face.
“By the way, you also have a lot of ‘greed’. Did you think I didn’t know? What did you come looking for?”
Did you already know
but.
He’s not stupid, and he won’t be so easily fooled.
The lie that I came here just to investigate.
Rather, I put the fire back and went out confidently.
“Yes. We knew each other. We just didn’t talk. Both have the same purpose, right? Gauriel’s wings.”
“Whoa, whoa. You’re finally revealing your true intentions. But, you know, that thought is already arrogant. How dare you covet the wings of a human who was once the commander of the celestial realm?”
“Isn’t it all the same if it’s not your wings?”
“It’s different. I’m his heir.”
heir?
where is this bullsh*t
I saw everything he did in the original work.
Even Gauriel said he was ashamed of being the same angel as Petriel.
“Aren’t you curious about why I guided you guys all the way to this place even though you knew all about that rotten inside?”
Petriel gave her signature fishy smile.
at that time.
He saw a group of black people approaching behind him.
Diaz was the first to spot it and shouted.
“Ro, Rohan-sama! Behind me…”
I raised my eyesight and looked there.
Then, the true identity of that black group approaching us began to appear.
“Ghosts and… Ghouls?”
The number was truly staggering.
If an entire city were to make undead and ghouls, it was at the level of wondering whether or not it would be at that level.
At that moment, Petriel soared into the air.
And the peddler who followed him also spread his wings.
It seems that the peddler was also an angel.
Petriel looked down at us and continued.
“You guys are the decoy. The living bait. You guys have to catch the attention of those ghouls and specters. In the meantime, I’ll find my wings in peace. Hahahaha.”
I glared at him.
At that, Petriel twisted the corner of her mouth.
“Why? Is it unfair? Didn’t you try to use me too?
“No. It’s not like that. It’s a little ridiculous.”
“……”
“An angel, and an angel with four wings, couldn’t find Gauriel’s wings because of only ghouls and ghosts? Huhuhuhu…”
My gaze penetrated Petriel’s eyes.
“You bastard. You’ve already lost your divine power little by little.”
“……!”
The expression of the guy who was stabbed in the middle was spectacle.
* * *
I nodded.
“Yes. That’s why I was obsessed with Gauriel’s wings even more. An angel who is losing his divine power… There is no existence as insignificant as that.”
“…I admit that I have an eye for wisdom. But what am I going to do now? Ghouls and specters will attack the ground. I will look down on the scene from above. It’s you who will die.”
“Whoever wants!”
I instantly took out the throwing dagger I had brought from my pocket and threw it at Petriel.
Fain!
The throwing dagger left his hand with the sound of cutting through the air.
Petriel was startled, folded her wings and made a whirk spin to avoid it.
It was an evasive maneuver that far exceeded my expectations.
‘Is it true that there are times when I’ve been flying for a long time?’
Still, it was enough to make him frown.
“……It’s not slow.”
Waving my fingers at him, I responded with a gesture to come here.
“I’ll show you when I come down.”
“Heung! Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not curious about the skills of a guy who will die soon.”
“Should I bet? Who’s behind.”
Let me smirk.
Petriel flew higher, probably slightly frightened.
“Those many specters and ghouls…… It will never be easy to deal with. How far can you guys last?”
“No. So let’s bet.”
“……”
In the end, Petriel didn’t respond to my suggestion and flew off without a tail.
Following him, the follower angel also flew swiftly.
‘You have to chase it. Honestly, it’s not easy even now… It’s really troublesome to come with Gauriel’s wings!’
Tadat!
I ran forward, following the direction they were flying.
Orhel stood next to me and asked.
“Brother! Aren’t those numbers too many? Even though I’m a Vampire Lord, there are limits!”
“I’m in the forefront. I only take care of the small things that get out of my hands.”
“Smallfish? What, what are you going to do?”
The ghouls and ghosts were already right in front of us.
I drew my sword and shouted.
“I know when I see it!”
“Keeek!”
“Kreurreuk!”
“Kyaaa!”
Whoops!
Let the sword swing once.
Patter……
By the authority of mortal birds as they are.
back to the body
Seeing this, Orhel was startled.
“This, is this a mortal bird?…”
In the meantime, some guys attacked again.
Kwareung……! Damn it!
Black lightning raged and swept them away.
However, the specters did not take any damage from such physical attacks, and still flocked.
“Quaaa!”
“Siss!”
“Shaaa!”
I calmly threw a golden spear at the ghosts.
Whoo……!
They, too, have completely disappeared from the world.
Orhel, who was standing next to me, muttered incredulously.
“There aren’t even small pikes left?”
* * *
“Pe, Petriel-nim!”
Hearing the follower angel’s voice, Petriel looked back with an annoyed expression.
By the way.
The unbelievable sight unfolding on the ground caught my eye.
“What, what…!”
Black lightning flashes.
Kwagwagwang……!
A golden spear sliced through the specter.
Flash!
With one sword, the ghouls simply returned to their corpses.
Booung!
“Patriel-sama. Gu, the ghouls are being pushed back…!”
Even if he was an angel, it was never easy to show such overwhelming inaction.
Even the two-winged follower angel next to him was an impossible task.
If the follower angels were on the ground, if their wings were injured.
In an instant, they would become food for the ghouls.
One or two ghouls were no big deal, but ghouls attacking in groups based on such an endless quantity was a different story.
Even the high-ranking angel, Petriel, stuck out her tongue at that sight.
“What happened to them?”
at that time.
Pee-woo!
A brilliant golden spear is flying towards us!
“Huh!”
Had I not looked behind me, I would have pierced my wings.
Petriel looked down with eyes wide open in astonishment.
“Poem, divine power?…How did you do this…!”
