The Live

Kuku Gugu -

Quore-!

A gigantic footsteps and cry echo through the forest. It was the sound of a multitude of monsters moving at once.

Those who were predators in the middle were swarming. But there was no leader to rule the herd.

All the black snakes, the monsters' leaders, were dead, and there was no one left to control them.

“Poor thing.”

The man climbs up onto the tree and sits on a branch, muttering, looking down at them.

A beast that looks ugly and violent, but in his eyes, it's just a poor mountain beast being chased by a beast.

“Looks like you're moving after all. ”

A thin voice comes from behind, and the man nods. He's been watching the situation for some time now.

“This is how it turned out. ”

“He was an original lunatic. I've never seen a madman like that among kings of all time. ”

The King, Metatron.

He has reigned as the king of the heavens for quite some time. It was when he was born as a descendant of the Emperor of Jeonbae and grew up and naturally became king of angels.

Unlike other kings who became kings through their efforts, Metatron was close to tyrants. He was such a king that he could lay down the lives of the angels without a care.

Angels were inwardly engraved with awe and loyalty to the king.

Despite their fierce tyranny, they served Metatron as their king.

And Metatron's ferocious disposition did not change, not even in the heavenly realm, but in this world.

“What should I do? ”

“What do the others think? ”

“Half. View, or reconciliation. As a result, it doesn't matter. The choice is ours after all. ”

“Choice.... ”

Kuku Gu -

The man rises in place at a clash of enormous forces that can be felt from afar.

“That's obvious. ”

* * *

Knng! Knng!

Blah, blah, blah!

The giant slashes and falls to the ground, and a huge explosion envelops the area. There was another puddle of smoke, with no birds scattered over the sky.

“Ha, ha. ”

“Ahhh-”

Elvin and Uriel gasp out of their mouths. Tired of both, the two white swords facing each other were slightly trembling.

“…… It's really strong. More than him. ”

“I told you, yes. ”

“But are you sure about this? It doesn't look like it's gonna be easy to stay that way. ”

“What about you? I don't know when was the last time we had a fight, but swinging a spear seems awkward. I think I'm getting a little exhausted. ”

In Uriel's words, Elvin replied cynically.

Uriel bites his lips in response to Elvin's reaction.

‘I'm not wrong. ’

The gap between Elvin and himself is clear.

No matter how hard he tried to use the technology, the overall power couldn't keep up with Uriel, the archangel.

Nevertheless, the fight was able to continue to boil down to this point because Elvin's fighting senses were excellent, but it was also because he lacked his senses.

Have you been resting too long? ’

Uriel and the archangels have rested from fighting for a long time.

It meant that peace had lasted that long. Of course, there were archangels like Michael and Gabriel who had been constantly training themselves.

But Uriel was not on that side. And the result was this:

“... but it's not enough to lose to you. ”

“You'd think so. ”

Giddy up, giddy up!

Elvin lowers his sword, forcefully striking Uriel's sword against him.

Suddenly, it was like a knife in the air. However, Uriel hurriedly twisted his body to the side, feeling a chill on his back.

Piet-

Uriel's hair ends slice and fall down. Elvin chuckles, his tongue muttering.

“It's not working anymore. ”

Pete, Fifi, Fifi...

Elvin swings his sword through the air several times.

Along with him, the air cracks again and sucks in the wind. Uriel stares at Elvin's blade, avoiding the blade.

‘Now I see a little bit. ’

When I first saw that move, I didn't know how to deal with it, so I spent a long time.

It's been a really long time since I've been hurt. But as many times as I've been beaten, I'm getting used to it.

uuuuuh-

Several energies coalesce around Uriel. The mass of refined mystical power soon becomes a beam of light and shoots at Elvin.

Pa, Pa, Pa...

Boom!

Elvin, too, fled from Uriel's attack. He glances back and sees a hole in the giant tree, slithering to his side.

‘I need to know one thing about power. ’

The power to defeat that Giant, the main ingredient of Enhancement Timber, in a heartbeat. I almost knew what would happen if I hit him with a body like that.

Your body will shatter in no time. Maybe it disappeared without a trace.

‘The same type as Lois. ’

Uriel was more of a long-range fighter than melee. In a sense, melee warfare is as dominant over her as it is her territory.

Moreover, Uriel has so far lost his fighting sense that he was able to lead the fight within his own favourable distance.

But increasingly, Uriel was getting used to the fight, and he was getting rougher on the contrary.

‘There is nothing good about going on long term. ’

The sooner the battle, the better.

“Ahhh-”

Elvin heavily breathes and lowers his sword. Thirty minutes after the fight began, he drew his sword for the first time.

“Did you give up? ”

“No, you're not. ”

Elvin's expression is far from giving up. Rather, it was a firm, firm face.

What are you going to do? ’

This was your chance to put the sword down.

But for some reason, I thought I shouldn't rush. It was an unsubstantiated hunch.

“I feel good. ”

Sss-

The gathering of magical power that had spread around Elvin has changed.

The continuously released magical power begins to amplify once again. At the same time, the white wings, which faded behind Elvin's back, regained clarity.

And…….

One more thing? ’

You spread another wing on Elvin's back. One pair was added to the two existing pairs, now three pairs.

The same number of wings as yourself.

I felt dangerous. It wasn't just the appearance that changed.

“Too bad. If I had just come in, I could have cut off one arm. ”

“…… isn't that too easy to say? ”

“Only words?"

Elvin raises his sword, which he lowered for a moment, as if not long enough.

“I'll show you now. ”
