chapter-279

A door with an image of two baby angels blushing. Gabriel’s lips twitched as he saw the [Uriel ☆] written on the nameplate.

[Hey.]

There was no answer when he knocked on the door. Thus, he did it again.

[Hey Uriel!]

He knocked harder on the door and there was a groan from beside it.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says to get lost.]

Gabriel frowned at the indirect message.

[Do you think I’m happy to come here? I’m here because of my mission.]

Gabriel sounded like it was annoying just to speak. It had been two days since he received the unreasonable assignment from Metatron. He was planning to play around but Metatron got in front of him.

-Gabriel, please take over Uriel’s mission. In addition, Jophiel will watch Gabriel to ensure he isn’t being lazy.

-Leave it to me.

He was placed in a team with the upright Jophiel. Gabriel would rather be in a team with Uriel.

[Didn’t you record your observations of the Demon King of Salvation? I came here to grab it. Open the door!]

There was a rustling sound from beyond the door.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is asking why you are her successor.]

[Yes you ■.]

Once again, an indirect message rang like a thunderbolt.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says ‘■■■■’.]

[Do you want to come out and say it yourself?]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is asking if you are her only successor.]

[Me and Jophiel.]

A deep sigh was heard beyond the door. After a while, there was a gap in the door and long fingertips emerged. Looking closer, the white fingertips were holding onto something. Gabriel realized its identity and clicked his tongue.

[…USB? Who uses a USB these days? Are you a human?]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is warning you not to speak nonsense and take it.]

Gabriel received the USB and Uriel added.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says it is a secret from the Red Cosmos.]

[Jophiel? Why?]

Uriel didn’t respond and shut the door. Then intermittent sniffling was heard in the distance. Gabriel was about to say something only to end up pouting. They usually didn’t get along but he became worried when he saw ‘Demon Hunter Uriel’ like this.

[Hey, don’t tremble. The detainment will be released soon. It’s only three years…]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is shouting at you to get lost!]

[Crazy ■. I was only trying to comfort ■.]

After a while, Gabriel opened the USB in his room. Then…

[What the hell did you do on this mission?]

Despite his mutters, Gabriel couldn’t take his eyes off the footage on the screen.

***

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ is curious about you.]

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ likes looking at you.]

Jung Heewon frowned as she heard the voice in the air. Uriel disappeared and this time a strange constellation clung to her. This wasn’t her only concern. Jung Heewon looked at Kim Dokja who was wandering in the distance.

“…Why isn’t he saying anything?”

“What do you mean?”

Jung Heewon turned around and see Lee Jihye closely stuck to her.

“Never mind.”

“Why, what is it?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Unni, are you going to join Kim Dokja’s Company?”

Jung Heewon, who was swallowing the drink she bought from a street vendor, gasped as she choked. “W-What? No! The name is too strange. Isn’t it embarrassing to join a place like that?”

“I’m looking forward to it. The company name is a bit strange but it feels like I’m experiencing the workplace. Perhaps I will even receive a salary?”

“If you know what a real workplace is like, you’ll think differently.”

Lee Jihye pouted. “In any case, I’m looking for a chance to join. Master is also there.”

“Yoo Jonghyuk-ssi has already joined?”

“Dokja ahjussi said so. This is Yoo Jonghyuk and my nebula!”

Of course, he never said anything like that but Jung Heewon reflexively looked up at the sky. However, she didn’t hear the indirect message she was waiting for. She felt strangely uncomfortable.

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ dislikes the humour of incarnation ‘Lee Jihye.’]

Jung Heewon shook her head and looked at Kim Dokja who was busy in the square. He was so busy she hadn’t seen his face for a few days and she didn’t know what he was working so hard on.

Then Yoo Sangah’s appearance caught Jung Heewon’s eyes. Jung Heewon waved at Yoo Sangah who was sitting on a bench and staring blankly into empty air.

“Sangah-ssi! Are you going to join Dokja-ssi’s nebula?”

Yoo Sangah discovered Jung Heewon and looked up with surprise. What was this woman thinking about that she lost her soul for a few days…

“My situation is a bit…”

“Ah, that’s right. It is tough for Sangah-ssi.”

Yoo Sangah was an incarnation of Olympus. It was a special case where she was supported by an entire nebula and it would be hard to join Kim Dokja’s nebula. It was obvious what would happen if she received the sponsorship only to choose another nebula.

“Instead, I made an alliance offer. Some of the constellations have a friendly relationship with Dokja-ssi through me.”

“Don’t all the constellations of Olympus hate Dokja-ssi?”

“Not all of them. Heewon-ssi, did you join the nebula?”

“I’m still thinking about it.” Jung Heewon looked back at the square again. “In fact, I’m not sure about joining. There is a problem with my sponsor and…”

Jung Heewon’s high self-esteem seemed hurt and Yoo Sangah smiled gently.

“I think you will be a great help to Dokja-ssi if you join his nebula.”

“I want to help if possible.”

Fortunately or unfortunately, Jung Heewon wasn’t the only one in a complicated situation.

In the middle of the distant square, Lee Hyunsung sat down like a dull big dog. Next to him were Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung, who were squatting like baby cats as the three of them stared at Kim Dokja. To be exact, their eyes chased after him every time he moved. It was obvious what they were waiting for. Kim Dokja ignored them to the end.

“…There is still no word.”

Jung Heewon nodded at Lee Jihye’s words. “He will speak when the time comes. It is because he is a secretly introverted person.”

Well, she also wanted to know what was going on. A long-awaited peace had come to the party but Kim Dokja was still thinking about something. Thus, they could only wait while doing nothing.

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ is looking at you approvingly.]

[The constellation ‘Commander of the Red Cosmos’ is wary of the Demon King of Salvation.]

…There were strange angels so Jung Heewon wouldn’t be bored for a while. Jung Heewon reluctantly put down her worries.

Then… the work suddenly began.

***

“Really? There is no way to contact them?”

“The channels leading to the Demon World are blocked. It is a powerful enchantment…”

Han Sooyoung’s expression became grim at Lee Sookyung’s words. She had been calling the dokkaebis since a while ago but none responded. Han Sooyoung looked down at the water bowl that contained the Good or Bad Luck, Disaster or Happiness Fortune.

Misfortune, misfortune, misfortune, misfortune, misfortune, misfortune, misfortune…

She couldn’t count how many times ‘misfortune’ emerged.

“What the hell is going on?”

The last time ‘great misfortune’ appeared, Kim Dokja had to face a Lokapala of Vedas. However, now there were so many ‘misfortunes’… it wasn’t a great misfortune but it should be an extensive misfortune. The water in the bowl trembled and faint sparks appeared.

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is raising his head.]

“Black dragon?”

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is looking at the 73rd Demon Realm.]

“Do you know something?”

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is letting out a threatening cry.]

Her arm wrapped with a bandage was tingling and sparks appeared around the body that was in sync with the black dragon.

“Hey dude!”

The feelings of the black flame dragon were transmitted. The black dragon had never acted like this whenever he encountered an opponent.

[The constellation ‘Expert at Playing Both Sides’ has pale lips.]

[The constellation ‘Guam Divine Doctor’ is dripping saliva.]

[The constellation ‘Great King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmun Wimu’ is quietly putting down his

sword.]

[The constellation ‘First Spiritualist of Joseon’ is clearing his traces.]

The constellations of the Korean Peninsula were turning off their lights. It was as if they were hiding from a predator. Her bandaged arm kept tingling.

Han Sooyoung scattered Lee Sookyung’s divination and unraveled the bandage to reveal the tattoo of the black dragon that was shining. Sparks burst and Han Sooyoung’s right arm wrote letters in the air.

-A disaster of the stars is coming.

“Disaster of the stars? What is that?”

The arrogant ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ thought this situation was so urgent he had to manually write. She felt the will of the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon that wanted to stop her from going to the Demon World no matter what.

“Hey, don’t make me nervous. Are you doing this again?”

She had been fooled by the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon more than once or twice. She didn’t know what the black dragon was talking about but Kim Dokja had predicted Olympus’ invasion of the Korean Peninsula. Thus, maybe he knew about this situation. No matter what came…

There were faint sparks as Han Sooyoung’s hand moved through the air like a brush.

-The 73rd Demon Realm will perish.

***

It was the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint who noticed it first. She was lying on the wall of the industrial complex and dropped the smoking pipe in her mouth.

“…That guy was right.”

The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint mumbled while the Breaking the Sky Sword emitted a blinding light as it was pulled out. After obtaining the name Breaking the Sky Sword, she held this sword less than 10 times.

It was a sword that made her be called the disaster of Murim. The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint felt the texture of the sword against her palm and felt funny.

A disaster. What could be called a disaster? For human beings, disasters were natural phenomenon on a large scale. For examples, landslides, tsunamis and earthquakes. They were huge phenomenon that the power of humans couldn’t resist.

For transcendents, it was nothing more than a manipulation of physical phenomena. They were existences far beyond human standards. They could cause landslides and tsunamis with a blade and could quiet them. For transcendents like the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint, the word disaster meant something different from the standards of ordinary humans.

Perhaps the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint was facing the answer now.

Small sparks bounced and Kyrgios was suddenly by her side. The aura of Electrification was already rising from Kyrgios’ body. The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint slowly raised her magic power. The two transcendents looked at the distant end of the void. Kyrgios asked, “It is him?”

It wasn’t yet visible to the naked eye but a presence was clearly heading towards this place. The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint replied in a heavy voice, “There is no doubt. It is the guy who tried to devour the First Murim.”

Darkness was entering the atmosphere. From the other side of the universe that swallowed up even light, something was approaching while devouring the scattered probability.
