Episode 80: Running

No, wait. Are you sure that's your best hand? Now I have blood on my head and my thoughts are short-circuited in my battle with Yeg. Be cool first.

The opponent is the leader of the Seven Star Angel. Don't think of it like the Seven Star Angels have done before. Even if you used a spell, it doesn't necessarily mean you can free Serena 100% of the time from the hostages. You can't risk Serena's life with a bet like that.

First of all, what's Seal after? Is that my soul? But now I can't feel the will to fight me or take my soul away from him. For him, now that he's taken the hostage, this should be his best chance. Or does taking Serena hostage have any other purpose...?

Speaking of which, Seal said earlier that he was "seriously understaffed". And at the outset, there was also a statement about "the people that I was looking for". The aim of the man deriving from these two...

"... Are you trying to draw me into your crew?

"Your answer. I want you to be a seven-star angel, just like me and the others."

Turn me into a seven-star angel...!?

"We're currently collecting human souls, but they're not overwhelmed. Sometimes one of the seven star angels was missing the other day, and I was just thinking about having a new seven star angel."

One missing...? Oh, you mean Uriel. You wouldn't even dream of having the tenacity in your hand right in front of you.

"But that doesn't mean anyone can do it, it has to be accompanied by the strength it deserves. You, who overwhelmed Yeg, are comparable to the Seven Star Angel, no, you have more power than that. That's exactly what I was looking for."

I didn't expect you to solicit me, the champion, as a seven-star angel. My mouth angle rises slightly.

But this is available. Of course, I'm not going to be a seven-star angel or anything, but Seal totally assumes I'm human. I don't have a hand in not using this.

Now that the "Mad Devil's Hand Mirror" has been destroyed by Yeg, negotiations with Sasha to "have the Dawn, who obtained the" Mad Devil's Hand Mirror, tell me where the gate connects the earth to the sky "will have been broken. I mean, I don't have the means to go to the Sanctuary of the Skies, which is the realm of angels right now.

But if I respond to Seal's exhortation here, this guy will inevitably take me to The Sanctuary of the Skies. That way we can know where the gate is and at the same time, if we succeed, we may be able to reclaim our stolen souls...!!

"Well, what do we do? Being a seven-star angel promises immense wealth and power. It shouldn't be a bad story for you either."

"... I don't feel like they're giving me a choice when they take hostages."

"Huh, sure. But like I said, it's not like we're choosing the means right now."

But if you agree here, you could be suspicious the other way around. I can only show a favorable attitude here while clouding my reply and induce me to take me to the 'Sanctuary of the Skies'.

"Huge wealth and power, huh? I know it's fascinating, but suddenly a human being tells me to be a seven-star angel, but the honest answer is there's resistance."

"Well, I guess so."

"So let me put my reply on hold for one second. Whatever it is that will greatly shape my future life, I cannot immediately conclude. If possible, I'd like to see first-hand where you live and come to a conclusion after all the thought. I don't know anything about angels."

This is the critical line you can tell me about the hostage being taken. I also thought of my hand demanding that Serena be freed in exchange for becoming a Seven Star Angel, but I fear that being a Seven Star Angel will be accepted as pre-construction to free Serena.

"Ut... say what...!?"

I look to Serena. [M] Serena closed her mouth and nodded small when she sensed that I had an idea.

Is Seal trying to find my sincerity or is he quietly staring me in the eye? Come on, how do you get out, Seal?

"... Sure, you're right. Come on, I'll take you to the Sanctuary of the Sky first."

All right, successful induction. Once again, I realized that the greatest weapon in my rush with the enemy was not a spell or a status, but a "word". All this has nothing to do with whether you're a king or a human being.

"It's this woman who's taking her instead, too. All right?"

"... ok"

Seal pointed to Serena with his thumb, and I accepted. Is that to deter me from doing strange imitations? This is the only place to respond.

"Let's get out of here first, then."

Me, Serena, and Seal three escaped from the Cave of the Evil Dragon by Seal's [instant travel].

When I realized I was in a mountain full of grass. A few meters ago, Ceal stands with Serena on his shoulder.

"... where is this place?

"In the mountains on the northern side of human territory."

"How could you be here... Aren't you taking me to The Sanctuary of the Sky?

"The earth and the sky cannot travel to and from [instantaneous travel]. You need to go through the gate to get to the Sanctuary of the Sky from here.

Of course, I knew I couldn't come and go with [instant travel], but it would be natural for me to pretend I didn't know this place.

"So, where are the gates and the dots? You've seen all the grass."

"Don't rush it like that. Unlock the spell [Recognition Blocked]!

Then suddenly a black vortex about two meters in radius appeared in front of us. I get attacked by the feeling that I'm going to be sucked in just looking at it.

"This is the... gate...!?"

"Bye. I usually make it invisible from the outside by the [recognition blockade] of the eagle. If humans and demons find out about the gates, it'll be a hassle."

Were there any measures in place? You can't find them by letting the demons of the champions search for them. But now we can always use this gate to enter the Sanctuary of the Sky. All we have to do is reclaim the souls of those who have been taken.

"Well, before we head to the Sanctuary of the Sky, I'll call Gabriel just in case."

Gabri, one of the Seven Star Angels. The body must still be hunting for the human soul, even though I wiped it out the last time.

"... not at all, he's still in trouble"

Says Seal in a sigh after finishing his thoughts with Gabri. Apparently Seal is also burning his hands at Gabriel's poor bare line.

"You kept me waiting. Let's go, then, to the Sanctuary of the Sky."

Ceal leaps into the gate with Serena in charge, and I follow. Thus I went to the Sanctuary of the Sky to do righteousness.
