The Live

1950s.

“…… So Muhammad was completely lucid? ”

“It's hard to see it as complete. because Mr. Jung tried to get his head together. He told me to... run away. ”

Royce told Yun Jae a little bit about what happened in the fight with Raphael.

It was Muhamad's power that helped us win the battle against Raphael.

The blood Muhamad had eaten, and the power within it accumulated, and it exploded in the battle against Raphael.

But such enormous power had a huge adverse effect on the opposition. It was also a mental side effect, not just a physical problem.

‘Did what I was worried about finally happen? ’

Built-in skill in Muhammad, Exposion.

It consumes the mind of the user, rather than forcibly drawing on Muhammad's power. Muhamad will be able to concentrate on the sword.

Until now, he has trained with the help of Lois and Kim Jin-seok to overcome the side effects. That allowed me to control some of the photo-explosion.

But the story of Royse seemed to have reached its limit.

“… I'm sorry. ”

A small voice with no strength.

Yoon Jae and Royce turn their heads at the same time. There, the regular man lay flat on the floor, covering his face with his hands.

“I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.... ”

“Are you crying?"

“No, no…… yes. ”

My voice was full of moisture. I haven't seen a regular crying in quite a while.

‘It's worth dying for. ’

Perhaps it would have been better if he had been completely insane.

But the norm was faintly catching up at the last moment.

The body is under Muhamad's control, but the spirit that remains in the corner cries out to Lois to run away.

Perhaps the Regular remembers that he tried to kill Lois.

Regular people who cried for a long time raised their upper body powerlessly. Regular people had no injuries to their bodies, whether it was caused by photo-explosion or the influence of Muhammad.

Sok-

“Here, I'm going to put this down. I think it's just my lungs if I keep it. ”

“Let go? Really? ”

As the regular man took Muhamad out and put him on the ground, Yoon Jae asked with surprised eyes.

How many times have you offered to let Muhammad go? Lois, Elvin, and Kim Jin-seok, as well as Yoon Jae, had once recommended it.

But every time, the normal answer was resolute.

- What use am I without this? I'll do something.

I wasn't just saying that.

In order to avoid the word 'somehow’, the regular was desperate to move.

It was a terrifying determination not to give up with physical pain and mental suffering together.

Even though I tried so hard, the regular was not even a bit difficult. I shook my head with a smile even when I asked him to stop.

But…….

“I can't help it. Now that's clear, if you keep this, something else will happen. ”

“So you're just gonna ditch him and run? ”

“I said I'd throw it away, but running away means.... ”

“That's what I'm saying. ”

Tuk-tuk-tuk-

Yoon Jae got up from his seat and approached Jung. Then he picks up the Muhammad, which the Regular put on the ground, and takes it back into his hands.

“Don't let go. You haven't lost yet. ”

“But……. ”

“You can't do anything because you're afraid of what hasn't happened yet. And……. ”

Yoon Jae looked back at Kim Jin-seok and Elvin, who were still unconscious.

“Our situation is not that relaxed. ”

“Yes?”

“I don't have time. I only have three years. ”

The dragons promised only three years.

It was not a short time, but it could not be seen as a long time. Muhamad was the top contentious item in the 1st and 2nd place of existing items.

However, there were only regular people who could handle Muhammad.

Regular people have only aimed at gripping and handling Muhammad from the moment they hold him.

It was said to have Royse's help, but it was enough to take on Archangel Raphael.

It was unimaginable to give up such an item even if the power was quickly enhanced.

Yun Jae spoke to the regular about her conversation with Galyan and the time promised in the future.

“... I know it's a lot to ask. But please.”

“3 years……. ”

Regular people muttered the same words with complex faces.

Then I looked back at Muhamad, once again held by Yoon Jae.

“Let me... think about it. ”

“Yes, of course. ”

Yoon Jae was no longer able to persuade normal people.

That was all I could say.

It would have been traumatic for regular people and for Lois. In the future, it was his choice whether the normal could continue to deal with the sword called the Muhammad.

* * *

It was three days after Elvin and Kim Jin-seok woke up.

The two of them woke up with injuries about the same time. In Elvin's case, the reverse flow of magical power was severe, and Kim Jin-seok's injuries on his body did not heal easily.

When they woke up, Yoon Jae told them what had happened three days ago.

“...... This is a problem. ”

“There are four more of them? ”

Elvin, who fought Uriel, mutters as if he was full.

Even one archangel was so strong right now, but I felt frustrated because he said there were four more like him.

“Five, to be exact, up to Metatron. Some are stronger than the ones Elvin fought. ”

“You mean Michael and Gabriel? ”

“Yes.”

Michael the Archangel and Gabriel the Archangel.

They were particularly strong compared to the other archangels. As soon as Elvin defeated Uriel, I could see Kim Jin-seok was defeated by Michael.

“Holy shit.”

“…… I'll get him next. ”

Kim Jin-seok was a face full of resolutions. Yoon Jae nodded, then, in that voice.

“Suit yourself. ”

To put it bluntly, there was only Kim Jin-seok who could deal with Michael.

If Michael was the best of the angels, Kim Jin-seok was the best of the human side. Kim Jin-seok was furious that he was defeated by Michael.

‘A shocking day. ’

Kim Jin-seok has never lost to anyone before.

He was always the best. Even with the help of the Mages, even the Demon King Pluton was not so difficult to defeat.

But he wasn't Michael's opponent yet.

‘Well, that, too. ’

If Kim Jin-seok's opponent is Michael, Yoon Jae's opponent is Metatron.

Emperor.

Being at the apex of all angels.

Of course, that didn't make him any stronger than Michael. The Emperor was the symbolic king of the chosen angels, but he was not the best.

However, Yoon Jae was confident that he would not be able to take on Metatron.

There were too many uncertain aspects to the struggle against Metatron, even if he didn't lose his strength fighting the angels.

At this rate, neither myself nor Kim Jin-seok could be sure of the next fight. The only time allowed was three years.

“Let's get back to work. It's too late.”

Kim Jin-seok woke up as soon as the story was over. Yoon Jae stood up with him and asked.

“How are you feeling? ”

“I woke up and I was fine. ”

“I'm fine, too. ”

After Kim Jin-seok, Elvin replied.

He said it was okay, but they both seemed a little dangerous to wake up. Perhaps the aftermath of this fight was quite large.

‘It will take some time to recover. ’

However, I could not sit here for a few days.

Recovery is on the move, but it's not too late. The angels would have cleared out the monsters as they crossed the road by now, so moving now shouldn't be a big deal.

“I understand.”

Yun Jae nodded and looked back at Lois.

“Let's go back.”
