Chapter 324: The Truth about their reation (5

The sword Harmageddon was named after Armageddon. True to its grand name, it was the second most powerful sword after Lou, the Emperor of all Evil swords. Harmageddon was made from Satan’s horn, which was also his essence. Lou remembered what Paimon had said when he had been in the process of making this sword.

“I will make it even if I have become an angel!”

Paimon was a proud demon who was the best in this field, so such a sentence from his mouth held great shock value. It just proved how thrilled he had been to create this weapon using Satan’s horn. And when it was completed, Paimon had collapsed after announcing, “This is the best piece in history.”

Paimon had never collapsed from exhaustion. To complete Harmageddon, every blacksmith in hell had gathered. All of Paimon’s kinsmen had participated too. There was a rumor that the light in the hell’s brazier went out months after Harmageddon had been finished.

All in all, this was an amazing sword. The sword screamed as it made its way toward Gabriel, releasing black-red particles of sorcerous energy. Before long, the area was filled with a blackish-red fog. And as soon as Harmageddon’s sorcerous energy sliced Gabriel, the particles exploded simultaneously to restrain Gabriel.

Kaboom!

This led to a giant explosion, but the Colosseum and Hamiel remained unharmed because it was focused on Gabriel.

Fwoosh.

The thick sorcerous energy fog and the divine energy crashed and consequently produced a massive amount of magic. If there were a low-level player or a non-player nearby, the giant amount of magic would have pulverized them.

When Lou swung Harmaggedon in the air, its magic and sorcerous energy cried out together again. The sword swing created a mighty wave that lifted the fog, revealing Gabriel, who still looked down at everyone nonchalantly.

Gabriel remained silent, but he was bleeding, and his robe was torn.

Clang!

Before Gabriel could make a move, Lou swung Harmageddon again, its sorcerous energy focusing the very same cut on Gabriel’s upper body it had created the first time.

Crack.

A grotesque sound, something like an animal’s hide being twisted and ripped, rang. A stream of blood poured out from the gash on Gabriel’s chest. Despite his success, Lou didn’t look happy. He also didn’t swing Harmageddon anymore.

Was it because Lou believed he had defeated Gabriel?

No, it was the opposite.

“Is that all there is to it?” Gabriel said, clearly unimpressed. “You used to be the hell king, but I guess your reputation was overblown.”

Harmageddon was a grand name, but it was appropriate considering its power. Gabriel had been defenseless when Lou, an ex-hell king, had attacked him with Harmageddon.

But despite this, Gabriel looked perfectly fine. The cut on his chest disappeared quickly. Even his robe was restored to its original condition as if nothing had happened.

It was then that a bright light appeared and caused a change. When the light vanished, Lou swore unhappily, “Dammit.”

The old pope now looked like a young man. Gabriel, with a face similar to the human Michael’s face, reached out to Lou.

Gabriel whispered, “You shall die of falsehood.”

A laser-like beam jetted toward Lou. Lou twisted Harmageddon to block the divine energy, but at the very last moment, Lou realized how much power this attack held.

‘This will be too risky.’ Lou decided. Despite being made from Satan’s horn and filled with Lou’s power, Harmageddon couldn’t black this attack; Lou knew it.

‘It will destroy Harmageddon and my chest alike.’ 

He was in grave danger, but it was too late to escape.  

“Ackkk!” Lou screamed angrily. “You…”

Hamiel had uncurled his arm in front of Lou, which looked like a dragon’s fingernail, to block the beam.

It looked like Hamiel’s hand would melt, but he continued to protect Lou and yelled, “I told you I will fight too!”

Just then, another light beam appeared.

Fwoosh!

***

Since Gabriel had stolen the Vatican’s essence, it was collapsing. Thankfully, Gi-Gyu had successfully opened the door. But how? Only those certified by the Vatican could open this door.

[You have successfully synced with Michael (???).]

The answer was that he had synced with Michael. The sync allowed Gi-Gyu to send his power to strengthen the recipient. However, the sync’s primary purpose was to let the user gain access to the recipient’s skills. Essentially, Gi-Gyu could use the skills and unique abilities of all those synced with him. It was an incredible skill.

After Michael and Gi-Gyu had synced, the Vatican considered the two as one, and it opened its door. When the entrance opened, Michael, El, and Gi-Gyu jumped out. When Gi-Gyu opened his eyes, he only saw darkness. This was unusual because he had expected to see a bright light beam.

Gi-Gyu’s body turned cold, and his pain also disappeared for a moment.

‘An enemy.’ He realized that this was another one of Gabriel’s traps or that another enemy had gotten involved in this battle. Unlike before, Gi-Gyu reacted quickly. A white sword appeared in his hand. The sword was the sword form of the feather El had given him; it was glowing brightly thanks to the plenty of divine energy it had received from Gi-Gyu.

The darkness around them began disappearing.

‘This is…’ Gi-Gyu became even more nervous. As the divine energy vanquished some darkness, he could feel the space better. He recognized what filled the space but still found it hard to understand the situation.

“Chaos…” Gi-Gyu had found himself surrounded by Chaos.

“How…?” he asked while injecting more of his divine energy into his surroundings.

Fwoosh!

Suddenly, a different kind of light exploded before him. There was no longer any darkness around him; instead, someone stood nearby.

The newcomer stood quietly. Gi-Gyu had thought that all the darkness had vanished for a second. However, the Chaos smeared darkness hid this figure like a cloak.

“We meet again,” the dark figure announced.

At an almost impossible speed, Gi-Gyu moved to thrust his sword toward the figure. But the man raised his hand to block El like she was a twig.

The last of the darkness finally vanished, and the man was revealed.

“Kronos,” Gi-Gyu muttered when he saw the familiar face.

“Nice to see you again, Son.”

Gi-Gyu resented this voice.

Gabriel’s laser-like beam stopped abruptly. Was it because he was surprised by the appearance of another light beam? As for Lou and Hamiel, they panted like dogs since they were no longer under attack. Hamiel’s hands were bright red from being badly burnt.

Lou ordered, “Take a step back for a moment.”

Hamiel’s eyes wavered, wondering if someone was descending again from this new light beam.

Watching Gabriel, Lou explained to Hamiel, “I think it’s our ally, so you really need to step aside.”

The light beam disappeared, leaving only El and Michael behind.

“...!” Lou was shocked to see an unhappy El. Anxiety and confusion filled him. He swore, “Fuck.”

Gi-Gyu was nowhere to be seen, which meant something must have had happened to him. Gabriel was still unmoving, making Lou wonder if he was also drained. This was probably also Gabriel’s first time descending like a God, so using that much power should have left him drained. Gabriel stood still in the air and looked down quietly.

“Lou.” El carried Michael and stood behind Lou.

“Good timing. We would've been dead by now if you didn’t show up.” Lou smiled bitterly.

“That’s…” El whispered as she looked up at Gabriel. She realized it was too late because Gabriel had descended to Earth just as he had planned.

‘Did he reach Earth with God’s power?’ El knew this couldn’t be good, especially now that they were without their master.

“That bastard Kim Gi-Gyu… What happened to him?” Lou asked.

Placing Michael down on the ground, El said tensely, “While we were crossing to this dimension, someone interfered with our travel.”

‘I guess he used too much of his power just now with that attack.’ Lou decided. That laser-like beam had been Gabriel’s first attack after he had descended. He couldn’t have had perfect control over his power yet, so he was likely also recovering. But although Gabriel seemed defenseless, Lou knew they couldn’t kill him easily.

Lou asked El in confusion, “Interfere?”

“While we were crossing, someone managed to steal our master,” El explained.

“Dammit.”

This couldn’t have been an easy task. Only the most powerful play with dimensions like this.

“What bad timing…” Lou turned even tenser as he asked, “Do you have a guess who it was?”

Lou calmly prepared himself for the next battle. It would have been easier if Gi-Gyu had been here, but he couldn’t give up now.

When El kept quiet, Lou muttered, “It has to be him, right?”

Just looking at her grim face told Lou the answer. Grasping Harmageddon tightly again, Lou continued, “Kim Gi-Gyu will be back soon. So…”

Death emanated from Lou. Thanks to Hamiel’s help earlier, he had fairly recovered. Lou added, “We must last until then.”

“Of course, Lou.” El assessed the situation quickly and opened her wings. She also grasped her sword tightly, and her golden crown began gleaming.

“Is this the first time we’re standing together in a battle like this?” Lou smirked in amusement while El smiled bitterly.

“I’ll help…” Hamiel stood beside them. It looked like he had recovered a bit as well.

Lou agreed, “Yes, help us. I think your strange power will be useful against his divine energy.”

So far, Hamiel had been able to block God’s power Gabriel used. It wasn’t perfect, but Hamiel’s power was decently effective against divine power.

“I…” Looking pale and exhausted, Michael announced weakly, “Will help too.”

Lou, El, and Hamiel turned toward the sound. He looked terrible, but suddenly, a bright light appeared from his body. He began to heal quickly, and even his wings reappeared in perfect condition.

Looking much better, Michael continued, “This place is saturated with divine power… I think it might just work.”

“And besides…” Another set of wings appeared on Michael’s back with an ugly cracking sound. He added, “I’m in the same situation as you guys now.”

Thanks to being synced with Gi-Gyu, Michael had obtained a new power.
