The Live
194.
Shhh...
Ta-da.
The dragon takes a light step down. Yoon Jae looked at the dragon with his exhausted face.
It was still the same face. I was thinking about the possibility that dragons would appear, but I did not think that dragons that I had seen before would appear.
“This was your district? ”
The place where Yoon Jae stood was not a ‘road’, but somewhere in the middle of the dragon's habitat.
Yoon Jae was open to the possibility of a dragon intervention in the fight against angels or against the archangels, including Metatron.
Such variables were not necessarily bad for Yoon Jae who had probable adverse fights.
The dragon's intervention was likely to wipe out the battle with Metatron as it is now.
“No, that's not it. ”
“Then why are you here? ”
“Don't you see? Because of him. ”
The dragon turned to Metatron and said,
“You know that, right? Why I showed up. ”
“… I don't know. ”
“You really don't know? I know you know quite a lot. ”
“What do you want to talk about? ”
“You broke the rules, right? ”
Yoon Jae sensed that there was something about the dragon and Metatron he didn't know.
Does it have to do with the increase in the number of archangels? ’
Yoon Jae killed his breath and focused on the conversation between the two of them.
Somehow, the atmosphere was not bad for him.
The dragon folds its arms and shoots at Metatron like a horse.
“Forcibly opening the door and bringing unauthorized beings in here. Don't tell me you don't know. ”
“…… does that matter? ”
Tue Metatron, who seems to know it all, quits his grip.
The dragon appeared here for a certain reason.
“Yes. This fight is not fair. The key to each faction is the key, and angels intervened that shouldn't have been there. ”
“So?”
“Do it all over again. ”
“On whose behalf? ”
“As we wish. That's what we do. ”
Not me, us.
He made it clear that appearing here was not his own will, but the will of the entire dragon.
And that was something no Metatron could easily resist.
‘Turn all dragons against each other here and things will get complicated. ’
Metatron carefully examines the dragon in front of him.
I made my way from the Angel camp to the Demons and Humans camp, and Metatron has only met the dragon a few times.
Each one of them had the power to rival the archangels. That meant the dragons were just as powerful.
Less numerous, but stronger than any other species. And it was even more humbling to see the dragon in front of its eyes.
"You're not like the others. ’
All three dragons Metatron has ever met.
They all died at the hands of Metatron and became corpses.
Michael and Metatron, who were at the forefront of making their way, were able to get rid of the dragons without much difficulty.
But now, Metatron cannot be certain he can defeat the dragon before his eyes.
Yoon Jae looked at Metatron, who hadn't spoken a word for a while.
Through the conversation between the dragon and Metatron, Yoon Jae was able to figure out why angels suddenly grew.
‘Whatever he did, Metatron summoned the angels. ’
The other world was a completely different world, not a world where humans, demons, and angels lived.
They passed through tutorials at certain times and went to the other side. However, Metatron dragged other archangels who were staying in the heavenly realm to the other side of the world for some reason.
That was what breaking the rules meant. And the role of dragons was coordination.
‘Is this a good thing or a bad thing…. ’
If that's true, then maybe the archangel wasn't all three.
Maybe more than that. Then the crisis may be averted right now, but then it's a problem.
If there are more archangels, there is no way to deal with them now with the power of the human side.
“What do you mean, start all over again? ”
Metatron, who had been thinking for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
The dragon answered the question without a thought.
“Just go back. Then you'll know. ”
“…… good. ”
In the end, Metatron turns around.
Then he turned his head and said to Yoon Jae.
“I'll see you soon. Both.”
“Gone cold. I don't want to see you. ”
“Cocky bastard. ”
Tsk, Metatron's wings widen with the sound of his tongue kicking.
Yoon Jae, who was looking at Metatron's back as he spread his wings and flew up into the sky, settled down as if he had fallen backwards.
“Phew -”
Fluffy...
The dragon glanced at Yoon Jae at the sound of her butt falling to the ground. He rolled his mouth up and asked.
“Are you tired? ”
“Yes. I'm dying, very much. ”
“Thank you? ”
“We have to. Thank you, we're alive. ”
“I'm surprised. I didn't think you'd say that. ”
“I'm what? ”
“You don't seem like the easiest person to say thank you for your arrogance. ”
The dragon said so, reaching out to Yoon Jae. Yoon Jae glanced at his hand and grabbed it.
“Get up on your own. You seem to have the strength to stand up on your own. ”
“…… Are you making fun of someone? ”
“Isn't this fun?”
I did not have the good luck to say it with a smile.
Yoon Jae got up from his seat with a scream. According to him, Yoon Jae still had enough stamina to wake up alone.
Sitting on the floor is just because I'm relaxed.
“Follow me.”
Jubbuck-
The dragon leaves a note and turns around and starts to move. Yoon Jae was embarrassed to stand there and saw the dragon drifting away and hurriedly followed.
“Follow me, where? ”
“You'll see when you get here. ”
A voice far from kindness.
Yoon Jae followed behind the dragon with an absurd look.
They walked silently for a long time. Yoon Jae opened his mouth in an uncomfortable atmosphere.
“There's another group. ”
“I know.”
“You know?”
“Don't worry, they're all gone. The archangels who were fighting them in the first place were also the ones who broke the rules and participated. ”
It seemed to refer to three other archangels, except Metatron. In saying this, Yoon Jae was greatly relieved.
‘Luckily, they're all alive. ’
There is no way to ascertain whether or not the group has been torn apart in four directions.
I ran away this way hoping for dragons to intervene, but I can't be sure the other side is safe.
However, considering there had not been another archangel chase for more than half an hour, it was most likely alive.
“But where does it lead? Looks like you've come a long way. ”
“I was supposed to meet you here.... ”
The dragon glances around and stops at one side.
“Here he comes. ”
“Hello?"
Yoon Jae turned his head in the direction that the dragon pointed at.
It's overwhelming-
I can feel someone walking from a distance. Soon, Yoon Jae's eyes widened, checking their faces.
“Regular, Mr. Lois? ”
“I see you here. ”
Royse waves to Yun Jae. Next to her was the man with the first face and the regular shoulder.
“What happened? ”
Yoon Jae approached Royse and the Regular. Regular bodies were stained with blood, but the wounds were already almost healed.
“As you can see. It was a close call. ”
“Is the routine okay? ”
“Yes, I'm fine. We didn't even lose in the first place. ”
“What are you talking about? ”
I could have been in trouble, but I didn't lose.
Yun Jae did not understand what Royse said. To Yoon Jae, who looks confused, Lois shakes her head, smiling faintly.
“I'll talk to you later. ”
“ ……? ”
Yoon Jae looked carefully at Royse's face.
Her voice trembles slightly. Not only that, my body trembled like a cold.
What happened? ’
Yoon Jae, who was looking at her with a curious expression, immediately turned his head.
Likewise, I felt popular in both directions. There, Kim Jin-seok and Elvin were carried on the back of a woman and a man.
“Mr. Elvin, Mr. Jin-seok. ”
“Elvin!"
Royse reaches out to Elvin with an urgent face.
The man who carried him said, placing Elvin on the floor.
“Your life is not in vain. Don't worry."
“Ahhh-”
Royse sighs of relief, looking at Elvin's pulse.
Luckily, the wound wasn't that deep. He was hemostatic and didn't have a bad face.
Royse's gaze soon returned to his side. The woman said, placing Kim Jin-seok on the ground.
“The problem is this way. ”
“…… you're alive, right? ”
“He's alive. It's not weird to die soon. Oh, don't get me wrong. I didn't do this. ”
“I know. ”
Royse approaches Kim Jin-seok. Her trembling hand rests on top of Kim Jin-seok's body, and she quickly begins to take care of it using her recovery skill.
All the scattered groups gather. Yoon Jae bit his lips, looking at Kim Jin-seok, Elvin, and normal conditions.
‘It's a good thing no one is dead. ’
There were no casualties.
It was clear that only all three were unconscious and in the worst condition.
It's amazing that no one's dead. It was a bit of a shock that Kim Jin-seok became like that.
“Are you angry? ”
Yoon Jae glanced back, surprised by the voices heard from his ears.
A woman with seductive red hair smiles beside Yoon Jae. The energy and atmosphere of her was similar to that of the dragon I met before.
“…… Four dragons were in charge of this area? ”
“No way. This is my district. ”
The man who carried Elvin said, He opened his mouth as Yoon Jae looked at him.
“Hebram. Mara, Eden, Galyan. ”
“What's your name? ”
“Why, what's wrong? Our names are not so secret. ”
The dragon, Galian, who brought Yoon Jae, frowned, and the red-haired dragon Mara frowned.
Hebram ignored them and continued to speak to Yoon Jae.
“Our intervention is unusual. Especially now that you're interfering outside your own precinct. You see why? ”
“Is it because the Emperor broke the rules? ”
“Yes. That's why I'm here to help you this time. As long as they break the rules and raise power first, no one of you has to die to coordinate it. ”
Those who gathered here today were the top members of the human camp, no matter what.
Even if it was Kim Jin-seok, he was the one with the modifier "Cheonan", and Elvin and Lois were also the top rankers.
In addition, if they all die here, the human power will drop in an instant, up to the key, Yun Jae, and the norm showing tremendous growth.
“Do you have the power of the angels? ”
“There were five archangels that Metatron called in. From the beginning to Gabriel, the archangel who guarded his side, there are 16,000 archangels. ”
“One of them is dead. ”
Eden, the dragon who was listening to Hebram's story, opened his mouth. He witnessed Raphael's death before he came home with Royse on his back.
“Then there are four archangels left. Uriel is dead.”
“Even Raphael? Then maybe even Michael... ”
“No, Michael's not dead. This guy fought well, too, but Michael's in a different class. ”
“Not really.”
Eden nods with that expression. Though it occurred to me that there were two defenses, Michael was in a different class than the other archangels.
“That's more than I thought. ”
Galian asked for Yoon Jae.
“What do you think? ”
“…… No. With four archangels and a thousand kings. ”
There was nothing to worry about.
Even if it was just the three archangels right now, this was the scene. He killed two archangels somehow, but Kim Jin-seok was defeated by Michael, and so was he.
‘It is still too much to deal with Metatron. ’
The opponent had two archangels, Metatron and Michael, and Gabriel the Archangel.
If Kim Jin-seok is defeated by Michael right now, it means that there is no one on the human side who can take on Michael. The difference in terms of power was too extreme.
“There is no way to stop the angels from coming in. The verdict has already gone too far. ”
“That's it. I don't need you to tell me. ”
“Then?”
“How much time do you need? That's what I'm asking. ”
“Time?”
“We cannot intervene with you except in the middle. But on the contrary, since the rules have already been broken, you can freely intervene in your fights in the middle of the country. ”
“Are you trying to buy us some time? ”
“Yes. It's not that hard. ”
Yoon Jae narrowed her eyes to the dragon's words.
Galyan is asking on behalf of the dragons.
And his answer will be the representation of humans. I had to be careful.
“…… how far can we go? ”
“Why? Do you want as much as you can? ”
“The longer the better. ”
“The longer the longer.... ”
Question returned to question.
Galyan ponders for a moment and replies.
“Three years. That's all I can guarantee you now. Anything more needs to be answered by someone higher up. ”
“Three years.... ”
Not uncertain, sure time.
It wasn't that short. However, it was never a long time to overcome this kind of power difference.
‘Thank goodness you're unhappy. That doesn't make any sense. ’
Four dragons here right now.
Perhaps there are many more dragons in the middle.
I wasn't sure if they could stop all the angels. But it was a burden for Metatron and the angels to face the dragons.
Perhaps they too were meant to be mediators. Three years was a reliable guarantee.
“Very well, then. Please. ”
“We'll get rid of the monsters nearby. Get some rest and go home. ”
He said he would take care of convenience, but he was sure until the end. Yoon Jae nodded with a slightly brighter face, without needing to find a place to rest immediately.
“Thank you.”
“Well, I'll see you in three years. ”
Pot, Papa-
The dragons disappeared from their seat in no time. Yoon Jae was confused because he didn't see how they were moving.
“…… It's like a dream. ”
Royse mutters, looking at the void where the four dragons disappeared.
The sudden appearance of them suddenly disappeared again. It was confusing whether the promise of three years was real or not.
I felt like I had just appeared and disappeared.
Yoon Jae nodded as if he sympathizes with what he said. My head was still complicated.
“Something went wrong. ”
It was easy to get to.
But that has now turned into a long way to go.
The war with angels was postponed for at least three years, and the situation itself was not to be seen as good.
Three years passed fairly not only to humans but also to angels.
‘Tired.’
Fluffy...
Yoon Jae eventually sat down.
Although not as many as the three people lying there, Yoon Jae also had a good fight.
He opened his mouth, looking at the sheen stretched out on his back.
“Well done.”
* * *
With four pairs of wings folded, Metatron closes his eyes and sits down.
It was after a while that I sat there like that. Metatron opens his mouth with his eyes closed for a long time.
“Are you alone? ”
“That's right.”
Pull-
Michael, an angel with red hair, flies in front of Metatron on his knees.
He was covered in solid blood. It looked as if it was not scarred.
Metatron asked.
“What about Raphael and Uriel? ”
“Dead.”
“Dead?”
“Yes. It appears that there was dragon involvement. ”
Michael has come to confirm Raphael and Uriel's death. But, of course, I didn't think they would be defeated by just one human.
The involvement of the dragons has already been confirmed.
Then it was more realistic to think that Lafael and Uriel would have died in a collision with the dragons because of the involvement of humans than they were by humans.
“...... I suppose you were, too. ”
“Have you met the dragon, too? ”
“Yes. Something's gone wrong. ”
Metatron's face hardens rarely.
It was an unexpected development.
‘I never thought I'd lose Raphael and Uriel here. ’
Too big a variable.
The loss of two archangels was a significant blow. Plus, I lost fifteen angels.
"It doesn't matter if it's the archangels, but the death of the two archangels and the angels is quite troubling. ’
If I had held the key here and collected even one piece, it would have been irrelevant.
I could have ended this whole damn war if I did.
‘Luckily, Michael is alive...' ’
Despite the loss of two archangels, the situation has been far more favorable for them.
Michael, the most powerful archangel, is alive, and there are still three more archangels left in the angelic camp.
With this much power, it was not a problem to sweep away the Humans at once. Although the variables appeared, this was the extent to which I could still feel reassured.
“Were you in a place like this? It's been a while, hasn't it?”
Ooo-
Voices coming from the sky.
In a familiar voice, Metatron raises his head, his eyes narrowly frowning. Galian, the dragon that sat on the branch of the great tree, waves his hand over Metatron.
“Hello again? ”
“Is there anything else I can do? ”
Metatron's voice sinks low.
It was possible to capture Yoon Jae and end the long war.
However, I couldn't help but feel bad because the dragon smiled in front of me again.
Shhh, Tak...
Galyan lowers himself lightly in front of Metatron and Michael. Michael gives way to Galyan with a burst of hostility.
And so was Metatron.
“Calm down. There's nothing good about fighting me here now, is there? Have you forgotten where we are? ”
Galyan reaches out his hands and calms Metatron and Michael first.
I couldn't find any tension on my relaxed smile face. I could spare at least three dragons, even if I was around right now.
And that was Galyan's relaxation that would turn Metatron and Michael upside down. Metatron opens his mouth, not easily avoiding a crooked face.
“... If you have something to say, just get it over with and get lost. ”
“Sure. I don't want to talk about it for long. ”
Galyan looks back at Michael and says:
“Is this Michael? I'm lucky to see Michael and the Emperor together. ”
“But?”
“You know, you came to this world in an unclean way. We interrupted your work this time, but technically, it's still not fair. ”
“So?”
“Wait three years. War is after that. That's the deal.”
Bloom-
In Galyan's words, red chloride emanates from Michael's body, standing next to Metatron.
“Are you threatening us? ”
“Threat? That's how you deal with it, so it's different. Could be a warning, could be a threat. ”
“How dare……. ”
Sss-
“Wait.”
Metatron reaches out to Michael as he draws his phantom sword. Michael barely restrains his anger and bows his head to Metatron.
After calming Michael down, Metatron closes his eyes for a moment and thinks. Galyan looks forward to Metatron's next words without saying anything about how he expected him to react.
Shortly after, Metatron's mouth opens.
“I'll wait. Three years. ”
“Good thinking. Well, I'm sure you will. ”
Papa-
Galyan has finished his business and has quickly disappeared. At the same time, the three pillars that were around him left together.
“Why did you just accept their business? ”
Michael, who has been holding back his anger, squeezes his fist. He had a hard time convincing that he had to waste three years of his time.
“What if I don't? ”
“We have to fight.”
“Do you think you can win? ”
“We still have dozens of angels and four. ”
“That's not good enough. And if you say you can win, what then? ”
Metatron raises his gaze upward, his tongue kicking.
“Raphael and Uriel are dead. Humans have become much stronger than we thought. ”
“ ……. ”
At Metatron's words, Michael shuts up and bows his head.
In the palm of his fist, his fingernails dig into the palm of his hand and blood spills out. In Galyan's words, Michael was furious because of Raphael and Uriel's death.
We have to wait another three years? ’
My colleagues have been with me for so long that I don't even remember.
Their deaths were enough to arouse Michael's dying emotions. Even now, I can feel their vengeance.
Unlike Michael's furious expression, Metatron turns back to his expressionless face.
“Back. Uriel and Raphael's vengeance is in three years. ”
“… OK. ”
Root-
Michael turns his head toward the road to the human camp.
‘Three years.’
For angels who lived for a thousand years, three years was not so long.
I couldn't help but wait.
During that time, it was time to raise this anger even more without forgetting it.
