Archangel Kraxis once clashed with Archangel Runne to end the world in distant days.
They both had similar powers, but in the end, Kraxis was defeated and trapped in the darkness of darkness.
Because the human being called the orthodox heir helped Runne, he could not overcome the power gap.
– I can’t forgive you. There will be no orthodox successors in this world in the future.
Kraxis tried to get out of the Resurrection Altar, moving his weeping body little by little.
The exit had already been blocked, and there were still hundreds of sacrifices left.
But they alone were not enough, they had to have more faith and destiny.
– Is it not enough to bring all of your faith in me? How can you be so weak…
It was not possible to recover the source with the power that he had now.

More sacrifices were needed, and they had to be swallowed up.Therefore, it was to take not only the living sacrifices, but also the faith and lives of the believers.
– That’s ugly. How am I doing this?
Kraxis tried to embody the shape of his body, using a little bit of force.
However, the black liquid quickly collapsed and only swayed violently.
Because he was resurrected incompletely, even his body could not reproduce its original form.
– Alas… Foolish ones. If I had been a little more perfect, I wouldn’t have sacrificed you.
Kraxis continued to absorb the followers even though he was sad.
They were the only humans who followed him in this world, and they were also the wicked who performed the resurrection ceremony.
All of these were theirs, so they deserved a priceless death.
– You humble people. Be grateful to be a part of me. It is an honor that no human being can enjoy.
“Aaah!”
“I want to live… I want to live…”
“Ugh…”
Those who were slowly dying and those who woke up late were intertwined.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
My body melted and my mind was also disintegrating, so I longed for a quick death.Those who had lost their faith from Kraxis were struggling with the dying people behind them.
– You lack faith in me. If I had deep faith, I wouldn’t have suffered.
Kraxis covers all those affected by fear with black liquid.
No more loud voices.
His strength was slowly returning, but he could not be satisfied with this.
– Runne… Nothing will remain after you come. Then even you will not be able to defeat me!
Kraxis slipped through the narrow exit and completely escaped from the Resurrection Altar.
Heavy raindrops were pouring over the gloomy sky.
A strong wind blew, and the occasional thunder was heard, and the rustling of leaves mingled loudly.
– Where are the lowly humans? This is not enough. too little…
“It’s disgusting and I can’t watch it any longer. Where did this guy come from?”
Kraxis sensed unusual magic and looked up at the sky.
A dragon with purple scales was flapping its wings wrapped in a yellow electric current.
One of the seven great dragons, the Ragna Dragon, saw an ominous omen and flew here.
– …you’re not human. what is your guy
“I don’t have a name to give to someone like you. Turn it off right now.”
Although the Ragna Dragon was hit by heavy rain, it did not collect enough current.
Each time a raindrop bounced off the purple scales, a stream of electricity blew out after it.
I didn’t mean to fight that filthy bastard, but if he didn’t listen, I was going to kill him and drive him out.
– Are you giving me orders? That’s okay.
“… It is the last warning. If you do not turn it off, your existence will be annihilated.”
– Even Rune couldn’t kill me, so dare you!
Kraxis stretched out a portion of the black liquid and released magical power.
Then, the black liquid splits into dozens and rushes towards the Ragna Dragon.
“How stupid it is to be not even alive!”
The Ragnar Dragon spreads a yellow electric current in all directions, blocking access to the black liquid.
At the same time, the yellow current spreads through the black liquid, giving Kraxis a dizzying shock.
– Noah! It’s from Runne! I will tear you apart and kill you!
Kraxis extinguishes all the current streams and inflates the liquid mass.
Only Runne could use the lightning attribute that could threaten herself.
As a minion of Rune, it must have had enough power.
I had to save my strength now, but I couldn’t back down with Rune’s minions in front of me.
“I’m not crazy. I mean, I’m too lazy.”
Ragna Dragon explodes the magic within its body and creates more electric current.
And the currents soared high and began to seep into the dark clouds.
“There is a degree to something ugly and unclean.”
As Ragna Dragon finished speaking, more raindrops began to pour from the dark clouds with a yellow electric current.
This weather was an environment created by the Ragnar Dragon.
He was deliberately manipulating the climate because he was not feeling well, but it was only after he discovered the cause.
He would not listen even if he spoke, so he would have to pay a price commensurate with it.
Zuz…
Kureung… Flashing!
Dark clouds spit out an electric current along with the heavy rain.
The current turned into lightning and roars, and hundreds of flashes were pouring out.
For a moment, the darkness faded, and a brilliant yellow light rushed towards Kraxis.
– Heh heh heh heh heh heh…
“Keep holding on. It will be over when you die.”
***
A funeral hall in Seoul, inside the incense room.
Dozens of portraits were lined up.
There were so many pure white chrysanthemums around them that they overflowed.
But compared to that, I thought the incense room was too small.
“Chief, can I go out for a while?”
“… you don’t have to ask me in the future.”
In response to Ryu Seon-hwa’s answer, Rakid McTona bowed her head and left the incense room.
Ryu Seon-hwa looked around the incense room with an indifferent expression on his face.
There was no one to be found, only silence prevailed.
‘There was no family. Me too, and them too…’
There was not a single person who could come to condolences.
Originally, the Kraxis Church was a closed place, and private meetings were not allowed.
He left the Kraxis Church and founded the Demonis Team, but his habits and behaviors did not change.
‘Everyone is dead except me and the deputy team leader. What’s wrong with this?’
Ryu Seon-hwa looks at the pictures of the portraits and is pensive for a moment.
None of the team members participated in the subjugation, and each was enjoying the holidays.
But at what point in time can they die sequentially?
‘The deputy leader has lost his ability. Like me, I have almost lost all my memories of the Kraxis Church.’
Of course, Ryu Seon-hwa did not lose his abilities like Rachid did.
He only lost his memories related to the Kraxis Church.
But strangely enough, he clearly remembered the fact that he mistook Seo Hyun-woo for Craxis.
‘I know roughly where the Japanese branch and the Hong Kong branch are. But why can’t I contact you? no way…’
Ryu Seon-hwa blankly stares at his smartphone, then becomes convinced.
Perhaps the members of the Japanese branch and the Hong Kong branch also died for unknown reasons.
Perhaps the members of other branches are also experiencing the same situation.
‘They all have one thing in common: they belong to the Kraxis Church. If that has something to do with the cause of death, why did me and the deputy chief survive?’
Ryu Seon-hwa and Rakid were also members of the Kraxis Church at one time.
Even after establishing the Demonis team, he did not lose his faith in Kraxis.
It was only recently that he felt skeptical and denied Kraxis.
‘Maybe it has something to do with believing in Kraxis. The deeper that belief, the faster you might die.’
In fact, not all of the team members lost their lives at the same time.
It was only after a few people died first that one or two people were contacted about death with a time lag.
In addition, all the team members had acute heart attack as the cause of death, so there was no choice but to see the regularity.
‘Then it means that the deputy team leader didn’t believe in Kraxis either. Why did you lose your ability? What is the difference between me…’
“How long are you going to be like this?”
A welcome voice was heard, but Ryu Seon-hwa did not show any expression and slowly turned her head.
Seo Hyun-woo was looking down at him in mourning clothes.
He looked tall no matter what he was wearing, so I thought that his eyes would naturally go away.
“You still have to keep your seat.”
“No one is coming except for the staff of the committee. You know it too, right?”
“The team members have followed me well. I never said I didn’t like it.”
“…”
Seo Hyun-woo immediately shut his mouth and sat down next to Ryu Seon-hwa.
To be honest, I couldn’t mourn my teammates.
Although brainwashing was the cause, the fact that it harmed innocent people did not go away.
In the meantime, they had subjugated numerous dungeons, but in their minds, they were reminded of the sins they had committed.
“Until now, no one was injured during the subjugation, and no one died. It’s not that I’m good at it, it’s that my team members did it well.”
“I did have a hard time. You did a good job.”
“The really scary thing is that it’s not sad. My teammates are dead, but I can’t feel anything. Was it because I lost my memory?”
“…that’s enough. Anyway, are you mourning your teammates?”
“But without emotions, there is no meaning, right?”
“You can only think like that if it comes from your heart. How about thinking a little more positively?”
Seo Hyun-woo comforts Ryu Seon-hwa while feeling a sense of separation.
Ryu Seon-hwa, who returned to his original personality, was simple and sincere.
I don’t know what effect that change will have in the future, but I had to train Ryu Seonhwa for now.
‘It can’t be like that for no reason.’
Seo Hyun-woo had already guessed to some extent why the members of the Demonis team died.
I had just heard the news that two monsters with first-class judgment were fighting in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.
Now, I wondered if the time had come because the Church of Kraxis had to hold a resurrection ceremony.
‘Craxis must have already been resurrected. Because of the lack of sacrifices, they must have taken the lives of the believers.’
Seo Hyun-woo considered the location where the battle took place more important than the resurrection of Craxis.
There was only one first-class monster that could appear in the Amazon.
Considering the climate of the Amazon, the compatibility of Kraxis, and the imperfect resurrection of Kraxis, the game had already been decided.
‘Ragna Dragon will win. I was wondering what to do with Craxis… This way, I don’t have to go out.’
