The Live

Aaaaahhhh!

Glug glug, glug glug -

Michael was the most glamorous and effective fighter against a large number of monsters.

Michael, who specializes in broad attacks spreading his power, was specialized in fighting many.

With each swing of the Ghost Sword in his hand, hundreds of monsters are swept away.

Only ash remained in the passage of the spirit sword that filled the blaze of heaven. The angels who knew Michael's abilities were separated from Michael from Miri.

Glug, glug -

Michael frowns, looking at the monsters standing where the fire had passed.

‘You have quite a life force. ’

The monsters' strength is not just the power of their size.

Tough Life and Tough Hide from their Energy. Taking Michael's chloride, one of the three survived.

‘They have to kill one more to live. ’

This fight should not be prolonged.

Allies will do more damage as long as they are prolonged. Michael wanted to make sure this fight was as good as possible before returning to the heavenly world.

Kievik-!

At that moment, a black snake that survived the fire of Michael rises to the surface without dying.

With a giant giant giant giant hundreds of meters, the black snake did not fall down after being hit by several spears with the power of the angels flying.

Blacksnakes were struck by spears, as if they were burning the last of their lives.

“No way!”

What-!

Michael swings his phantom sword at the Black Snake.

Kwaaaahhhh -!

The flame of the Ghost Blade sweeps over the Black Snake's body. I couldn't believe the black snake was still alive.

But…….

Kyahhh-!

Blacksnake's toughness lingers on until then. It was a moment when Michael was embarrassed and tried to wield his phantom sword again.

‘Too late……. ’

The black snake's fangs were already swarming over the bodies of the angels who had gathered in one place.

Clatter, clatter, clatter...

Tsaaaaaak -!

At that moment, the black snake's body splits in half and blood rises above it.

It happened so fast. For a short while, one of the young men disappeared into the trunk of the black snake, which split to the left and to the right.

Michael was able to determine who he was. The one who cut down the black snake was Yoon Jae.

‘…… how fast is it? ’

You can move so fast attacking a wide range of black snakes.

Michael's gaze soon followed Yoon Jae around. Then I suddenly realized that a lot of the monsters that were approaching stopped moving.

What is it?

Before the question is solved.

Pick, pick -

The new statues of the monsters are torn in half. Just now, it looked like a black snake had been slashed.

Eyes were suspicious.

How did you do that?

The moment I remembered that thought, I saw Yoon Jae's face again and disappeared. It was so fast that it looked like it was stepping on the space and jumping over.

It wasn't just fast.

Every step of the way, there were no more maggots in the movement. There was no unnecessary movement in the next lane, and the bridge was moving as fast as it was swinging the sword.

I don't swing it with my arms, I slash it as I move to the bridge. Yun Jae's blade was sharper than anything else, and was shearing the hide of all the monsters he touched.

“Sa, I'm alive……. ”

“What just happened? ”

“What... what's going on?" ”

Other angels who didn't see it did not understand the situation now.

In their eyes, the monsters who attacked them only appear to be splitting apart, splattering blood and dying. I could only say it was a phenomenon.

What would their reaction be if they found out that saving their lives was the key to humanity?

Soon after, Michael learned that Yoon Jae was fighting to protect angels and humans.

Is it the power of the Fragment? ’

I heard from others about the sculpture.

Each of the three pieces had an incredible power.

Among them, Michael was the most surprised kind of sculpture that dealt with 'time.'

Even though it was a mile ahead, knowing the future was the best advantage in fighting.

Yoon Jae is currently fighting monsters, protecting humans and angels in danger.

You use a piece of power to increase your speed and, in the worst case, put a horseman's armor on them to keep them from being fatally wounded.

Lead this massive fight with all your might. Since Yun Jae started a defensive fight, few people have died or been injured.

“Anyway……. ”

Michael sighs of relief, looking at the surviving angels.

“Glad you could make it. ”

The fight was prolonged.

The sunset sun completely sank, and again, it was about to rise from the other side.

“Ha, ha -”

“Huff, puff... ”

When there are no more standing monsters, everyone settles down.

There was no one who wasn't tired of the all-night fight. Angels, humans, or for this moment, sat on the floor or laid down without distinguishing one from another.

Michael took out the last remaining black snake. He sees the black snake's breath breaking and turns his head.

From a distance, I can see everyone sitting down and standing alone.

Twist-

Yoon Jae whistled for a moment and collapsed. It was only after I realized that there were no monsters left that I sat down.

Michael approaches Yun Jae.

Yoon Jae looked at Michael and asked.

“Isn't it hard? ”

“More than you.”

“…… well done. ”

During the night, Yoon Jae didn't fight alone.

It was because I cared about each and every one of them to keep the casualties from escaping as much as possible.

If it weren't for that, Yoon Jae would have dealt with a much larger number of monsters by himself and ended the fight sooner.

‘There would have been a lot more casualties. ’

Michael sits next to Yoon Jae.

Yoon Jae looks at Michael with strange eyes. I didn't know he was going to sit at his side.

“If the dragons attack at a time like this, we'll be in trouble. ”

Michael tells a serious story in a dull voice.

“It won't happen here. ”

“Why?”

Michael asked after Yoon Jae's confident voice.

Yun Jae, looking into Michael, replied.

“The dragons can't attack us here first. That must be why they attacked us. ”

“Is that so?"

At that time, when I saw Yoon Jae and Michael together, the norm approached.

“Come on? What's this? ”

When Michael, who was reluctant to Yoon Jae all the way, sat next to Yoon Jae, his normal face was puzzled.

He also walked strangely, making sure he was quite tired. The regular sitting behind Yoon Jae stared at Michael with suspicious eyes.

Soon Michael stood up. The last time he glanced at Yoon Jae, he said.

“Thank you for this. ”

“... Go. ”

I knew what gratitude meant. I struggled with something all night, but I couldn't figure it out.

‘He's simpler than I thought. ’

Still, Michael's gaze at him was not favorable.

He'll be confused.

I'm on one side now, but I don't know how to accept Yun Jae, who killed his men. It was natural to think it was an inevitable fight, but to hate for no reason.

Yoon Jae thought he was a victim, too.

It was the same with Michael.

In fact, everyone here was a victim. The perpetrators were separate.

“It's simpler than I thought. ”

Normally, Michael spoke in a small voice to prevent him from hearing.

Well, I don't think I'll be able to hear you.

“It's not simple, it's broad. ”

Yoon Jae looked at Michael's back.

What if he was that situation?

What if Michael killed the Regular, Elvin and Lois, all dead?

But what if I have to hold hands with him to save the lives of others? What if, in fact, they were behind this?

It will be complicated. If you think rationally, you'll hold hands, but you'll still hate them.

Michael was rather open-minded when he saw it that way.

“How's the damage? ”

Yun Jae knew that the normal person had been talking to Arhan and asked.

After the fight, the first thing Arhan did was analyze the damage.

“Pretty much dead. Oh, in this situation, there is no more damage than I thought... ”

“How long have you been dead? ”

“About a hundred of the rankers are dead, and the angels look the same.

“Any casualties?”

“It's okay to assume that everyone else is injured. ”

“Not really.”

Who hasn't been injured in a fight like this? We fought all night, and it was a blessing not to die.

Luckily, there were quite a few rankers who were able to use the Recovery Skill.

While the wounded recover their body and strength, Yoon Jae also quickly recovered from his position.

“Where are you going? ”

“I have work to do. ”

Yoon Jae said that and began walking to the hut. Thanks to the fragments of life, I was able to recover quickly, so I was hoping to read the letters in the hut.

Michael took the angels, and the regular followed behind Yoon Jae. Yoon Jae did not break the norm that follows.

‘Even in that commotion, this place is still standing. ’

The hut was covered in scorch marks. It was a burn mark that Michael used.

But only that, the hut was completely intact. In the midst of this commotion, the hut doesn't break down anywhere.

‘Is it because it's not made of ordinary material? Or……. ’

I felt like I couldn't be this healthy without something special.

Queek -

The old door opens with a rugged noise and leans back inside. Yoon Jae went into the hut and started reading the first part down.

“ ……. ”

“What does it say? ”

There was no answer to the question.

Regular Lee took a step back as he examined Yoon Jae. Yoon Jae's expression of reading the writing was too serious.

‘Don't interrupt. ’

For a while, Yoon Jae looked at the writing and checked the picture below it. A large number of humans were gathering in the middle of a marble and bowing down to it.

‘Is that... Holy Grail? ’

I wasn't sure, but I thought it might be.

It looks like a human, but maybe they're not human, but dragons. The dragons were mostly human, not in their original form.

‘What the hell is this picture... …. ’

Below the picture was a series of words that did not know who belonged to.

“When I first created this world……. ”

Yoon Jae read it out loud.

“I dreamed of the resurrection of my clan. ”

“The rise of the clan? ”

I was surprised at the muttering of the letter that I read.

Soon he shuts his mouth. Now was not the time to distract.

“…… I see where Zahar learned his secret. ”

“Yes?”

“It was here.”

Secrets of this world.

The stories I heard from Zahar were here. Likewise, the world was made through the holy gospel and the dragon made it.

I'm not sure who wrote this, but I was expecting it.

‘Temperature.’

Leader of the dragons. Lead the way. Build the world through the Holy Grail.

Probably him.

‘Does that mean you knew everything before getting the Holy Grail? ’

Zahar learned of this world, and made plans to kill dragons and destroy it.

But it was a strange time. Zahar must have been here, too, so he knew about this before he got his hands on the Holy Grail.

- Hold the Holy Grail in your hand and you'll see. How sweet the temptation is. As a result, I did not overcome the temptation.

Is that what you mean?

Suddenly, I'm afraid. I think I might not be able to overcome the temptation.

I thought I knew why Zahar didn't talk about this place. He told me all about it anyway, but he thought he had no reason to do it.

Yoon Jae's gaze turned to his side. The hut was divided into two rooms.

“Go outside and tell him. ”

In the room, there were only Yoon Jae and Jung.

Regular people knew that it was what they were saying to themselves and asked.

“What?”

“Rest well. ”

Yoon Jae's gaze on the side room went beyond the roof of the hut, toward the sky above.

* * *

Jung told the rankers and angels outside the hut what Yun Jae said. Of course, the exhausted rankers and angels were resting long enough.

Some mourn their fallen comrades, and Michael hugs one of them in the death of the angels.

The sky that the sun had risen and brightened became night again and dawn.

“I can't wait any longer. ”

One day later, at dawn, Michael came into the hut and said,

It was not just his opinion.

“There's a chance more monsters will come here. ”

“We have agents searching the area, and there are still no monsters around. ”

The opinions of Arhan, who oversees rankers, overlap. They also felt uneasy about staying here like Michael.

“What about the injured?”

Yoon Jae looks at the resting rankers and angels and asks.

Arhan, who has been looking into the status of the rankers, replies.

“Almost healed. Most rankers are excellent at self-healing and can heal. There are some who still have minor injuries... But that's why we can't take any more risks here. ”

He was right.

Yoon Jae nodded and looked at the side door.

Arhan asked as he saw Yoon Jae getting up from his seat.

“What are you going to do? ”

“Now… you know. ”

Ouch.

Yoon Jae who woke up from his seat opened a door that had not been opened for a day.

“Please wait outside. Don't look so surprised. ”

“…… Of course. ”

According to Yoon Jae, Arhan and Hundred Thousand went out of the hut. Michael stands there with a suspicious look on his face, and he turns away.

Yoon Jae, who opened the door, walked to the stairs that you could see inside.

The stairs are deep. About a hundred steps down, a dark basement appears.

The basement was made of small cavities. A glass-shaped altar was erected in the center of an empty cavity.

I remembered the text I read in the room earlier.

I also remembered what Zahar said.

- Keys are for getting pieces. And…….

Yoon Jae walked to the altar.

There was water in the glass. Yoon Jae took his hands on it.

- Pieces are the conditions to bring it down.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-

The energy of the shard drains the water from the glass.

At the same time, the basement cavity began to tremble.

No, it wasn't just the joint. The same was true of the small cabin above the stairs.

Yun Jae already knew what this tremor meant.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

Yoon Jae turned around and climbed back up the stairs, stepping out of the hut. When I went outside, the earth and the world were shaking.

“Dude, what the hell is this? ”

“What's going on? ”

Everyone was embarrassed.

If I was calm, Kim Jin-seok would be sad as well. The feeling of the world itself shaking like this was inevitable.

Yoon Jae was the only one who was calm.

Of course I did.

Yun Jae already knew what this meant.

“Look up. ”

“Up?”

Everyone lifted their heads and looked up at the sky, including the norm that ran right in front of Yoon Jae.

The sun didn't rise because of the dawn, so I didn't feel that the shade was setting. If it were day, they would have noticed that no light was coming in over their heads.

Guwoowoowoowoo -

“What is that...? ”

“An island?”

“No… continent? ”

Giant lands descend.

It seemed to float on the clouds. Nevertheless, it was large enough to be clearly visible, floating high.

Nevertheless, the ground was gradually descending. It was hard to guess how high it was and how big it was.

“…… What's that? ”

Yoon Jae answered Michael's question.

“A heavenly island. A land where dragons live. ”

“The Land of Dragons? Are you saying there are dragons? ”

“That's a different world than this one. In fact, it doesn't even belong in this world. ”

“You don't belong in this world? ”

“It was the land where dragons lived before the world was made. Sculptures... are entitled to bring the world into existence. ”

In response, everyone looked up at the heavenly island with a bored look.

“…… the whole world came this way? Somehow big.”

“It's a small world. Well, it's big enough for dragons to live. ”

“Is that where the Holy Grail is? ”

“Yes. And so do dragons. ”

As the heavenly island was coming down, Yoon Jae looked around everyone.

“There are three goals in total. ”

Everyone listened to Yoon Jae.

Yoon Jae stretched three fingers and folded one of them.

“The first is the device that absorbs the power of this world. Or a vector. We need to find it. ”

- The system of the world, equipped with dragons, is more systematic than one might think. It's a structure that creates the world through the Holy Grail and robs the world of life through external beings drawn to it. The mediators must be on the heavenly island where they live.

“If you don't get it...... both angels and demons will die. It must be found and removed. ”

In Yun Jae's words, Michael nods.

It was essentially why they moved here. If we don't get rid of the mediators that make up this world's systems, their lives will be lost at the end of the war.

“The second is the elimination of dragons. We can't leave any of them behind. because if you leave one, it's going to happen again someday. ”

This was something I was already familiar with.

Yoon Jae folded his last finger.

“The last one...... is the taking of the Holy Grail. And get out of this world. This is our goal. This is our final goal. And the Holy Grail is right up there. ”

As you descend, the island of heaven stops somewhat above you. At this height, rankers will be able to climb without crowds.

“Then……. ”

Starting with Yoon Jae leaping, rankers and angels also flew up behind her.

“Let's go.”
