Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 322
[Level Up with God Episode 322]
* * *
The day has dawned.
As always, angels armed with armor and weapons were gathered in the heavenly city.
Early morning meal time.
Angels gathered in a large restaurant near the dance hall.
As the angels were scooping up and eating soup, a man in an unusual outfit caught the eye.
“human…?”
“Why are humans here?”
This was heaven.
The world of angels. Although the sky entered the tower and there was a significant influx of players climbing the tower, the number was not that large.
Above all, there were few players who climbed more than 90 floors.
They had the qualities to become rankers one day, and ranker status was a level that only a select few players could reach.
Above all, it is a wartime situation.
Entry and exit of players other than angels was strictly controlled here.
Meanwhile, angels surrounded him as he ate.
“hey.”
“Who are you? Entry to this place is prohibited except for the angel tribe.”
“This is a war situation. “Humans cannot come and go here without permission.”
“Who let this guy in?”
The angels who entered the wartime system were much sharper than at other times.
The angels surrounding the man gave off an ominous atmosphere. At a time when the Battle of Heavenly Demon was about to begin, uninvited guests were not allowed.
But then.
“stop.”
The angels reflexively stopped what they were doing when they heard the familiar voice.
Rattling-.
Yuwon, who was eating, put down the spoon he was holding.
The angels’ eyes focused on Michael as he entered the restaurant.
“He is a comrade in arms who will be fighting together from today.”
“Comrades?”
“You mean this human?”
The impact of Michael’s words was significant.
Some people seemed to be protesting. He seemed very dissatisfied with the idea of humans interfering in the sacred battle of the Heavenly Demon.
But there was no angel who protested to Michael right away.
This was because there were many angels who believed in and supported Michael.
“Stand up and say hello.”
Druk-.
Yuwon got up from his seat.
“This is Kim Yu-won. I’m counting on you.”
“Kim Yu-won?”
“Really? “Someone do a search on the kit.”
“It seems right…”
The angels stirred.
I thought a person I had never heard of was at the restaurant, but it turned out to be Yuwon.
Yuwon, who entered the top ranks of high rankers in the shortest amount of time, was not only a little known, but his name was so unknown that almost no one knew him regardless of race.
Sigh-.
Michael raised his finger and covered his mouth.
The chattering angels fell silent. Michael, who silenced the angels with a single wave of his hand, continued.
“He decided to help us only for a short time during this Cheonma War. “Don’t be too guarded and try to be friendly.”
“yes!”
“Please eat again.”
Food distribution began again.
Yuwon sat down and picked up his spoon. Michael came next to him.
“Don’t be too upset. “It’s a time of heightened alert.”
“I understand. “It’s an exhibition.”
Even though nothing special was happening, there was tension in the restaurant.
The sky entered a state of war a year before the start of the Cheonma War. During this time, heaven strengthened the training of angels and thoroughly rejected any outside intervention.
In a way, it is natural for the angels of this period to reject Yuwon, a human.
I wasn’t narrow-minded enough to be offended by something like this.
but.
“I guess everyone is sensitive.”
Yuwon found the strange tension between the angels strange.
But that’s a strange thing even for Yuwon, who is human.
In Michael’s eyes, it was more natural.
“Because the Heavenly Demon War is right around the corner.”
“Is it that important? “It repeats every 10 years.”
“It is more important because it has been repeated. “This is a matter of racial pride.”
“…Is that so?”
For players who were not angels or devils, the Battle of Heavenly Demon was nothing more than fun entertainment.
It was the same as Moorim Daejeon in the low-rise section. Many players and rankers predicted the winner of the Battle of Heavenly Demon and made bets on the outcome of the fight.
Is this fight a victory for the angels or a defeat for the devils?
A fight in which neither side lost or won, with only wounds, was an event that became entertainment for many players and was put on the chopping block every time.
“You are the one who manages the soldiers. “Who is the angel who manages the war materials?”
“Weapons and food potions to be used in the Heavenly Demon War are delivered through Prime Minister Raguel. This applies not only to war-related materials, but also to all objects in the sky.
“The authority is amazing.”
“Would you like to meet?”
“please.”
Rattling-.
Michael, like the other angels, began to eat his rationed soup.
“Let’s move as soon as the meal is over.”
“yes.”
With the answer, Yuwon started eating again.
While facing each other and silently moving the spoon, Michael glanced at Yuwon once in a while.
‘My choice must not have been wrong.’
Right now, I neither trusted Yuwon nor completely distrusted him.
For now, all we can do is come together with the common thought that the Great War of the Heavenly Demon must be stopped.
First of all, I planned to move in with him for a while and watch him from his side.
‘But if I do anything that could be even slightly harmful to the sky…’
Michael lowered his head, fearing that his eyes would be caught.
‘I’ll cut your head off right away.’
* * *
The Prime Minister of Heaven.
Looking at his status alone, he could be said to be second only to the King of Heaven. As it was an important position in charge of all property and supplies in the heavenly world, its majesty was indescribable.
no.
I thought so.
But why?
“Raguel.”
Archangel Raguel, the Prime Minister of Heaven, gave off a different vibe from the angels Yuwon had met so far.
Luxurious marble floor. A spacious study papered with pure white wallpaper.
Raguel piled up documents on his desk in the study like a tower and dozed off with his head down.
“Raguel!”
“Huh? “Michael…”
Raguel raised his head at the voice calling him and waved his hand with difficulty.
The pure white skin was almost pale, and because of that, the dark circles under the eyes looked darker and blacker.
A face that is completely pickled from fatigue.
It wasn’t easy to see a high ranker of that level so tired.
“Since when have you been unable to sleep?”
“I think it’s been about three months.”
“Just take a break.”
“The problem is that it’s not enough to do while resting…”
Raguel woke up unsteadily, as if he was anemic.
“coffee? Or wine?”
“Both are done.”
“I need to drink some. Even coffee… Oh, but what about that?”
It was then that Raguel discovered the amusement park.
Was it because his eyes were dim that he couldn’t see it, or was he deliberately pretending not to know?
I don’t know exactly what he was thinking, but Yuwon said hello regardless.
“This is Kim Yu-won.”
“Oh, are you Kim Yu-won? Archangel Rafa is already talking about you. Do you like coffee? Or wine?”
It seems that the news about the amusement park had already reached Raguel’s ears due to the commotion in the morning.
Yuwon made eye contact with Raguel.
For some reason, although the facial expression was no different, the atmosphere felt different from the first time.
What is he thinking when he looks at himself?
Yuwon thought for a bit before answering.
“I would like coffee, please.”
“okay.”
Grrrr-.
Raguel made coffee. The fragrant scent of coffee spread through the study.
Raguel opened his mouth with his back to Michael and Yuwon.
“The Battle of the Heavenly Demon is just around the corner, right? “Thanks to you, I’ve been behind a lot of work.”
“know. “It’s always busy during this time.”
“By the way, Michael.”
“uh?”
“Why do you increase the workload even though you know that?”
Knock-.
Drops of coffee fell on the cup. Raguel turned around again, holding two cups of coffee.
As if someone wasn’t there.
Raguel continued speaking without giving Yuwon even a glance.
“A race that is neither angel nor devil. “If you bring in a bat-like guy who doesn’t know which side he’s on, it’s bound to give me a headache, right?”
Sigh-.
Raguel handed Yuwon a coffee cup.
Only then did Raguel look at Yuwon and smile. It’s as if you’re telling me to relax because it’s not your story.
“Now drink.”
What on earth did you say just a moment ago?
Contrary to his aggressive remarks, his actions as he smiled and handed over the coffee he made with his own hands were quite friendly.
Yuwon looked at Jan and Raguel’s faces alternately and stretched out his hand.
“I will drink well.”
Yuwon, who received the cup, took a sip of coffee and leaned against the wall.
Things were getting pretty exciting.
“huh? Michael. Say something.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I heard you said yesterday that we should go to the Heavenly King again and end the Heavenly Demon War?”
Michael’s pupils widened.
Has that story already reached Raguel’s ears?
Michael knew that Metatron and Prime Minister Raguel were close, but he didn’t know that the news would come so quickly.
Looking at Michael who froze in confusion for a moment, Raguel clicked his tongue briefly.
“Come to your senses, friend. “Where on earth are you so obsessed, what are you looking at?”
Michael kept his mouth shut as Raguel looked at him with a pitiful expression.
It was as if he knew everything.
He completely ignores Yoo-won and even what he is doing and how he is moving.
Metatron knew it all.
but.
“I need to be sure.”
Shaking once was enough.
Not twice.
Raguel’s snake-like tongue knew. He had a tongue that could make even the devil bloom if he wanted to.
But the timing was not good.
If I had talked to him earlier, we might not have come this far.
“A clear reason why this Heavenly Demon War must continue. “I want to know that.”
His tired face was everywhere.
Only a cold impression remained on the face, where the dark circles had disappeared.
“I believe the King of Heaven spoke sufficiently yesterday?”
“I wasn’t convinced.”
According to Metatron, the nature of angels was to burn even death.
Unlike demons, whose strength is everything according to the law of self-reliance, the essence of angels can be said to be loyalty, like faith in the king.
But now.
For the first time, Michael deviated from the essence and put a question mark on Metatron’s words.
“We call the loss of faith the fall.”
yes-.
The player kit placed on the desk in the study rang.
Jeopuk-.
Inside the quiet study.
Raguel walked towards his desk and checked the player kit.
“You know what the punishment for corruption is, right?”
“…I know.”
“I’m glad that’s the case.”
Sigh-.
Michael’s hand went to his waist.
Yuwon, who was watching the situation, also put down the glass he was holding.
Raguel’s mood suddenly changed.
“I’m sorry, Michael.”
Rattling-!
The study door opens.
Two hit!
A spear was thrown with all its force from somewhere, aiming for Michael’s neck.
Whoa!
A huge hole appeared in the wall of the study. Michael moved his head to avoid the spear, and before he knew it, he was holding the sword drawn from its sheath.
“Can I help you?”
Yuwon asked.
This place was already surrounded by countless angels. Moreover, in front of me was even the heavenly archangel Raguel.
Moreover, Michael had not even brought his own weapons.
“…no.”
Nevertheless, Michael shook his head.
He looked out the gaping hole at the angels pointing their spears at him.
“They have no sin.”
“Are you saying you’re going to surrender?”
“No way.”
Michael shook his head.
At the same time.
“I will not kill anyone but take down everyone.”
fluttering-.
Michael spread his wings.
