303 Oh Kang-woo, the truth he's been hiding (1)

What were you doing yesterday?"

Screaming cries poured out.

The next day, when he arrived at the Angel's Fortress in Africa in search of Uriel, he smiled bitterly.

"I've been in a bit of a little bit."

"What's the matter?" "That's..."

I couldn't say that I was waiting for you to be corrupted on your own, but Kang-woo smiled vaguely and blurted the end of his words.

Uriel's eyes have sharpened. 'What's the matter with you?' 'Sir more than that,' cut the horse, and the rainfall opened its mouth.

"I have a few questions. Is that okay?"

"...what is it?"

Uriel put out his lips and nodded.

You seem to have a lot of complaints about yesterday, but you won't ignore it.

"Do you know about the seeds of the fall,"

There was a heavy silence. Uriel opened his eyes wide and spoke in a low voice. 'You... where did you hear that?' 'I have my own investigation of Rakiel.

I found out while doing it."

He looked all around with a round face. Yes, Uriel swallowed the saliva.

"You know angels are instinctively obsessed with something, right?"

"Yes."

"But when the obsession becomes uncontrollable, the wings begin to flash black. And if you get more concentrated there and touch the realm of madness..."

"You're going to heaven."

"That's right."

Uriel nodded. "The seeds of the tar are the whole stage of the tachon, which means that the wings sometimes flash black."

"Do you know if you've planted a seed of depravity?"

"No, I don't know. I don't think anyone would know. It's so cold.

It's flashing on. So you have to be more careful. It's the instant that obsession touches the realm of madness."

asked the rain, squinting open its eyes.

'You don't know, La.'

It didn't seem to be telling a lie.

Does that mean that we don't know that we're falling apart, too?'

Seeing that reaction, I was convinced that I didn't know.

Considering Uriel's personality, if he is aware of it, he will not be as calm as he is. "What's the change if you go down to the sky?"

In the case of demons, failure to control their desires leads to loss of izzie.

However, the record for Rakiel was not the same, nor did Rafael's depraved appearance show that he had lost his advantage.

"The biggest change is the blackness of the wings, and the power turns into magma. Oh, and instead of using sexual magic, the force itself becomes much stronger."

In other words, they gain enormous power instead of losing their skills.

In return for intelligence, there was something similar to a mana painting in which physical specifications were splashed. "That's all? Doesn't he disappear or something?"

"Yeah, it's just that... Obsession is so close to madness that it leads to very extreme behavior. That's why even if Jisung remains, he'll kill him in advance."

While talking, Uriel's expression suddenly darkened.

It reminded me of an old friend who killed himself with his own hands.

"Once I've gone down, I can't come back?"

The rainfall is temporary, as you can see in the status window.

"Tachun" is also allowed, he asked.

Uriel shakes his head. "You can't come back in general. But... If you use your hands at that moment, you can come back to the original state only at once. Raphael... It was already too late."

He bowed his head with a melancholy look. "...but what about Tacheon all of a sudden?"

asked Uriel, stealing his wet eyes with his back of his hand. "Oh, while I was working on Rakiel, I was wondering what Tachen was.

I'm asking."

He replied with a nonchalant attitude. Long live Ratky. 'It's a little different in that he voluntarily ascended.' 'What's he obsessed with?"

"I don't know about that. It's not in the literature."

The rain nodded its head. That's the answer I expected.

"You said what we're obsessed with is chastity, right?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Then you must be having a hard time being alone these days... ..and you have a job, too."

"........"

Uriel's expression darkened.

"Okay, it's okay. I can control instinctive impulses on my own. 'For God's sake.

It was easy to see that his obsession was getting worse now.

Otherwise, the seeds of corruption could not have been planted in him.

Kangwoo smiled and said. "Is that why you've been sending so many KakaoTalk messages lately?"

'Oh, no!' exclaimed suddenly. The rain burst into a light burst of laughter. Uriel jerked his head with a sulky look. 'You've heard everything.

What I was curious about was Tachon has been solved to some extent.

'Then.'

Rain licked his lips. That's the best way.'

I'm sure Uriel's obsession is directed at him.

Nothing was more effective than the plan in my head right now. 'I'm not in a situation where I'm just sitting still."

After the seeds of corruption planted in Uriel stopped growing, I realized that I should not wait as I am now.

It is already clear that Uriel, who lost Rafael and was left alone, is now obsessed with Jung.

It was necessary to make the obsession a realm of madness.

'Shall we go look for Rakiel's traces again today?' '...didn't you say no because you were busy?"

"It's okay. We haven't made progress on Rakiel. I've decided to stay away from work for the time being."

"He, really?"

Uriel's expression became noticeably brighter.

The rain nodded and stood up.

"Let's go to the place where Rafael and Satan fought in Russia today."

"Yes!"

Uriel smiled brightly and nodded.

Eight wings were seen swaying like a tail.

Rain turned away from him and twisted his mouth. "It's enough to corrupt a child who's hungry little boy."

It's very easy.

"Is this... the place where Raphael and Satan fought?"

"Yes, it's exactly where they fought the Devil's Headquarters."

a colossal snow mountain

It was not difficult to guess how fierce the battle at that time was through the appearance of the collapsed and smashed mountains. "...definitely, I can see magi's traces everywhere."

Uriel closed his eyes with his hands on the ground.

Months had passed since the war, but there were still traces of magi.

"But if this happens, I can't find any trace of Rakiel."

The traces of magi were scattered all over the place, so it was not known whether it was a sign of Rakiel or a sign from the battle against the Devil's Bridge.

The rain nodded its head. "That's why I'm here. If Rakiel hides his body, there's no better place than here."

"Oh, that's true."

If you want to hide trees, you should hide them in the forest.

It made sense. "First of all, before we investigate..."

Kangwoo grinned and took out a pack of kimchi stew.

"You have to be full to work hard."

"Laugh, isn't it just what you want to eat?"

We also put our hands on a rock rolling nearby with a smile as if we were very happy to eat with rainfall.

Scallions!

A blue lightning bolt sprang up and shaved the rock.

The rock was cut in a straight section as if it had been cut with a knife.

"Then let's eat."

Uriel sat in front of a rock that was cut straight with light steps.

An angel whose palate is almost degraded cannot be happy with the act of 'meal' itself.

Uriel eats with someone else, something he has never felt with angels.

I enjoyed the unfamiliar sense itself.

"Hehehehe." As evidence, Uriel actually smiled and watched Kangwoo eat rather than eating the kimchi stew in the pot.

It was then.

"Huh?"

Kangwoo's hand stopped after eating kimchi stew.

He stared blankly into the air, and soon grabbed his head. "What's wrong?"

This is what I've seen a lot while looking into Rakiel's traces.

Kangwoo shook his head with an awkward smile. "It's nothing. "What do you mean nothing? You've been here for a while.

You know what I'm saying. Suddenly, I'm dazed or grabbed the back of my neck. Is there a problem?"

"Hahaha, I just have a few things to think about.

Stand up."

Kangwoo shook his head and ate kimchi stew on the rice.

The face of Kangwoo, who ate kimchi stew, was dark.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, you love this?"-"I don't feel like eating today.""

Rain scratched his head as if he didn't know why.

Uriel looked at him with a restless look.

Something,

An unpleasant ominous feeling stimulated the spine.

"Let's eat quickly."

Kangwoo ate kimchi stew with a bright smile.

"...yes."

Uriel carefully opened his mouth while eating kimchi stew along with the rainfall.

"So why did you join the Guardians?"

"Me?"

"Yes. Gaia's incarnation says you're not the chosen guardian." "Ha-ha. That's right." "But why are you so desperate? at no cost for that I've been researching on the Internet these days, and most of the humans are only thinking about getting full, saying that the era of peace has come."

"Well."

With his hands on his chin, Kang Woo looked worried.

He's here! He's here!'

Even if we don't have to step out from here, Elle bit the bait first.

"Show us your sad eyes. With your calm voice.

We've already done some good work is done.

It's easier to trick Uriel now than to twist a child's wrist.

"I don't have the grand goal of protecting the world like Si-hoon did. You don't have a firm belief like Raphael."

"Then... why?"

A faint smile that could go out any minute.

A smile that seemed to break if touched incorrectly headed for Uriel.

with a shudder

Uriel's body trembled.

It's this sense again.

I could clearly feel a long time in the eyes of a human being who didn't even live half of his own.

A look that contains complex emotions that cannot be measured.

The rain fell low. "There was a precious person. Yeah, really... Someone I valued."

"......."

"He's... Failed to keep."

The heavy rain clenched its fist and shivered.

A thick tendon sprang up in his tightly grasped fist tightly. "Who...?" "When I first came to my senses as a player, I was the one who went into the gate without knowing anything. It was a player named Lee Ki-young."

It is a name that comes to mind roughly.

It doesn't matter if he really existed.

The truth doesn't matter.

It's only important to look like the truth.

"I got a lot of help. If it weren't for him... I wouldn't be here right now."

but

"In the hands of the guild who worshiped the devil Andras... Kiyoung is dead. No, to be exact... I killed my brother with my own hands, who was buried under my own hand."

Boom. Uriel's heart was beating loudly.

Killing a precious person with one's own hands.

There was no way that we could not know how much the pain was.

Raphael, because he killed his old friend with his own hands.

And now... I've got people who are precious again."

"The... man named Kim Si-hoon?" "There's a lot more than Si-hoon.""

Kangwoo smiled. Staring into space, he said in a voice longing for something lost.

"I don't care what happens to the world."

No more. "No more... I don't want to lose my precious person."

With a smile that seemed to break right away, Kang-woo said.

the vivid horror of his voice

Uriel shut his mouth tightly. The loss of Rafael seemed to be overwritten by the rainfall.

'That's right.'

Rain smiled in his heart. a deep emotional bend on Uriel's face

Trust and empathy for himself were seen in it.

'Of course you agree.’

Just as anyone who experienced this star when he broke up with his lover sympathizes with him, it is a creature's instinct to console his misfortune through empathy.

'Now, to us.'

The rain looked at Uriel, deep in thought.

Hang on more.'

"Fill in me the vacancy that Raphael disappeared so that the plan could be successful."

The rainfall waited for Uriel's answer with ease.

Uriel's mouth slowly opened. "I don't know that much about you..."

Uriel looked at the young man smiling silently before his eyes.

"I think I know why Tyrion chose you as an apostle."

"Haha, I'm flattered. I was just lucky."

"Do you think you're lucky to get God's choice?"

Uriel looked at him with his most serious eyes.

I heard about the rainfall in detail through Gaea.

How desperately he fought them. How many achievements and legends you have made.

Without rainfall, the Earth would already be a devil-infested hell, Gaia said.

We had no choice but to nod our heads when we heard his performance.

It's not much known.

It was none other than the rain who made a decisive contribution to the collapse of the Devil's Religion. 'I don't want to lose anymore, La.'

Uriel closed his eyes slowly. Raphael's image came to mind. A war friend who has been with him for thousands of years who killed him by hand.

How frustrated I was when I killed him, how frustrated I was.

Same as me.

The same was true of the rainfall.

He was not any different from himself.

It's a jolt

My heart throbbed. My mind has become complicated by the gap between the usual appearance of the rain and the smile that is about to break.

Uriel held the hand of Kangwoo without going against the overwhelming emotion.

"I'll help you, too."

'I'll lend you my strength so that you won't lose any more.' 'Haha…' a dry laugh came out.

Unhidden moisture formed around the eyes of the rain.

"Thank you very much. Thank you."

'Hmmm.' 'Hahaha. It's our first time talking about this."

'You didn't tell Kim Si-hoon, either?' 'Yes, I'm afraid I'll make him worry. I've never said this to my lover."

"Well, really? So I'm the first one?"

"That's right."

Uriel's expression became noticeably brighter.

Oh Kang-woo, I felt somewhat overwhelmed that he was alone in hearing the truth that the man had been hiding.

It put me to blush.

"Well, then let's start the investigation!"

He rose up in a hurry. The rain smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I will."

Kangwoo cleaned up the pot and got himself up.

We followed Uriel, who was quickly ahead, and examined the traces of magi remaining everywhere.

And...

"Huh?"

Uriel's eyes opened wide. While examining the traces of magi, we found new traces, unlike other traces.

Even the archangel is so dark that it gives a shudder to him.

"Hey, this isn't recent..." Just now, the marks of magi.

"Dangerous..."!

When I got up with a blue face,

Scallions are coming! The black brain war poured down like rain. Uriel spread his wings hurriedly and grabbed the body of the rain and flew up to the side. "What, what!"

Damn it! This is where Rakiel was hiding!"

It was good to find Rakiel who was looking for him so much.

The problem is that Rakiel found them, too.

"Well, I was wondering what kind of bug was, and it was you."

silver hair that came down over the shoulder ten black wings on the back

A person wearing a sticky green tentacle like an armor moves slowly.

He looked back at the rain and twisted up his mouth.

"Kkkkk, you're still holding on. I thought it wouldn't last long."

words of unknown meaning

'Rocky, El,' Uriel's fist trembled. A blue brain battle sprang up. "Gangwoo! I'll buy you some time, so call the Guardians first!"

Uriel interrupted Rakiel and shouted.

but

There was no answer back.

"... rainfall?"

Turn your head.

What you see there is... "Ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

The scene of the rainfall, holding his head in a painful groan.

"What, what, what's wrong with you?"

Uriel's expression turned pale. I've seen it before. When he first met with Kangwoo, he entered the fortress and felt 'Rakiel's Magi'.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

His mouth is foaming and trembling.

"Oh Kang-woo!!"

Uriel turned and hugged the body of the rain lying on the floor.

And

"Huh?"

In the body of the rain that hugged him,

I felt a clear 'margin'.
