Player Who Returned 10000 Years Later - Chapter 303
The player returns after 10,000 years Episode 303
The truth that the man Oh Kang-woo hid (1)
What were you doing yesterday that you chewed on KakaoTalk!?
A roar of shouts poured out.
The next day, Kang Woo smiled bitterly when he arrived at the Angel’s Fortress in Africa in search of Uriel.
There were some circumstances.
what matter? That’s…
Kang Woo, who couldn’t say that he was waiting for you to fall on his own, blurted out his words with an ambiguous smile.
Uriel’s eyes sharpened. Tell me quickly what the circumstances are…. More than that, Mr. Urie. Cutting off his words, Kang Woo opened his mouth.
I have a few questions, are you okay?
…What.
Uriel pursed his lips and nodded.
He seems to be very dissatisfied with what happened yesterday, but he doesn’t seem to be ignoring it.
Do you know about the Seed of Corruption?
A heavy silence fell. Uriel opened his eyes wide and spoke in a low voice. You… Where did you hear that? I found out
about Rakiel while doing my own research .
He covered it with a sullen face. Kkeung Uriel swallowed his saliva.
You know that angels are instinctively attached to something, right?
yes.
But when that obsession gets too much to control, the wings start to flicker black. And from there, if you become more obsessed with it and reach the realm of insanity…
you will fall to heaven.
that’s right.
Uriel nodded. The Seed of Corruption refers to the previous stage of Fall, the stage where the wings occasionally flicker black.
Can I tell if the seeds of corruption have been planted in me?
no. I don’t know. In fact, even if other people see it, they hardly know it. Because it flickers in an instant .
So you have to be more careful. It is only for a moment that obsession reaches the realm of madness.
Kang Woo narrowly opened his eyes and asked.
‘I don’t know.’
It didn’t look like he was lying.
If that’s the case, it’s not that we don’t know that we’re also falling.’
Seeing that reaction, I was convinced that I didn’t know.
Considering Uriel’s personality, if he was aware of it, he wouldn’t be able to remain calm like that. What changes will happen when you fall?
In the case of demons, if they cannot control their desires, they become monsters that have lost their reason.
However, looking at the records about Rakiel and the way Raphael was corrupted, it did not appear that he had lost his will.
The biggest change is that the wings are dyed black and the holy power is transformed into demonic energy. Oh, and instead of being able to use divine magic using holy power, the power itself becomes much stronger.
In other words, instead of losing skills, you gain enormous power.
There were similarities to monsters whose physical specs were inflated in exchange for intellect. Is that all? Doesn’t intelligence disappear or something like that?
huh. However, that obsession becomes close to madness, and it leads to very extreme actions. That’s why even if you have intelligence left, you kill it beforehand.
While talking, Uriel’s expression suddenly darkened.
It reminded me of an old friend whom I killed with my own hands.
Can’t you come back once you fall?
Kang-woo
asked, recalling the words he saw on the status window that ‘temporary fall’ was allowed.
Uriel shakes his head. There is usually no return. But… if you use your hand at the moment of falling, you can return to normal only once. Raphael… it was already too late.
He bows his head with a sad expression. … But why suddenly Tacheon?
Uriel asked, wiping his wet eyes with the back of his hand. While I was researching Araqiel, I was curious about what Tacheon was, so I
asked.
answered calmly. Long live Ratki. Rakiel is a bit different in that he fell from heaven voluntarily. What is Rakiel obsessed with?
I don’t know that either. It does not survive in the literature.
Kang Woo nodded. This is the answer I expected.
You said that you are obsessed with us, right?
Yes.
Then it must be very difficult to be alone these days. … I also have work for Raphael.
…….
Uriel’s expression darkened.
It’s okay. I can control my instinctive urges on my own. ‘Puck.’
It was not difficult to see that his obsession was getting worse.
Otherwise, the seeds of corruption could not have been planted in him.
Kang Woo said with a smile. Is that why you’ve been sending so many KakaoTalk messages lately?
Oh no! yelled out loud Kang Woo laughed lightly. Uriel turned his head around with a pouting expression. ‘I’ve heard everything you’ve heard.
My curiosity about Tacheon has been resolved to some extent.
‘then.’
Kang Woo licked his lips. ‘As expected, that method would be the best.’
It is now certain that Uriel’s ‘obsession’ is directed towards him.
Nothing was more effective than the plan I had in mind. ‘Because it’s not a situation to stay still.
After the seed of corruption planted in Uriel stopped growing, he realized that he could not wait as it is now.
It was already clear that Uriel, who had lost Raphael and was left alone, was now obsessing over himself.
It was necessary to use a separate hand to turn that obsession into the realm of madness.
Then, shall we go find traces of Rakiel today? …didn’t you say no because you were busy?
it’s okay. Since the investigation into Rakiel hasn’t progressed… I’ve decided to take a break from work for the time being.
Is that so?
Uriel’s expression brightened noticeably.
Kang Woo nodded and stood up from his seat.
Today, let’s go to the place where Raphael and Satan fought in Russia.
huh!
Uriel smiled brightly and nodded.
I could see the eight wings swaying like a tail.
Kang Woo turned away from him and twisted his mouth up. ‘It’s about corrupting a child hungry for affection.
It’s very easy.
Is this… the place where Raphael and Satan fought?
yes. To be precise, it was the place where we fought against the main body of the Demon Cult.
huge snow mountain.
It was not difficult to guess how fierce the battle was at the time through the collapsed and smashed mountains in various places. … I can definitely feel the traces of demons everywhere.
Uriel put his hands on the ground and closed his eyes.
Several months have passed since the war, but there are still traces of demons.
However, if this happens, there is no trace of Rakiel to be found.
Traces of Magi were scattered everywhere, so it was unknown whether they were traces of Rakiel or traces from the battle with the Devil Church.
Kang Woo nodded. It is for that reason that I came here. There’s no better place than here for Rakiel to hide.
oh that must be
Did they say hide in the forest if you want to hide a tree?
It made sense. First of all, before investigating in earnest…
Kangwoo smiled and took out a pack of kimchi stew.
You can work hard only when your stomach is full.
Pooh-hum, don’t you just want to eat?
We also put our hands on the rolling rocks with a smile as if we were very happy to eat with Kang Woo.
-Pajijijik!!
Blue lightning bolted and shattered the rock.
The rock was cut with a straight cross section as if it had been cut with a knife.
Then let’s eat.
Uriel sat down in front of a rock that was cut straight with brisk steps.
There is no way that an angel whose sense of taste has almost deteriorated is happy with the act of ‘meal’ itself.
Uriel ate with someone else and
enjoyed the unfamiliar sensation itself that he had never felt with the angels.
Hehehe. As proof, instead of eating the kimchi stew in the pot, Uriel laughed and watched Kang-woo eat it.
It was then.
huh?
Kangwoo’s hand stopped eating the kimchi stew.
He stared blankly into space, then grabbed his head. what’s the matter?
While investigating Rakiel’s traces, he had often seen it.
Kang Woo smiled awkwardly and shook his head. it’s nothing. Nothing. You’ve been like that before
. Suddenly being absent-minded or grabbing the back of the neck… Isn’t there something wrong?
ha ha ha. I just have something to think about
.
Kangwoo shook his head and ate the kimchi stew over rice.
Kangwoo’s face darkened as he ate the kimchi stew.
Hey, why is that? You like this a lot? I have no appetite today.
Kang-woo scratched his head as if he didn’t know why.
Uriel looked at him with a restless expression.
Something
unpleasant ominous tickled his spine.
eat quickly
Kangwoo ate the kimchi stew with a bright smile.
…okay.
Uriel opened his mouth cautiously while eating kimchi stew with Kang Woo.
Come to think of it, why did you join the Guardians?
Me?
huh. Gaia’s avatar says you’re not the Chosen Guardian. haha. you’re right. But why are you so desperate to fight? And that too at no cost. When I researched on the Internet these days, most of the people thought only to fill their stomachs, saying that the era of peace had arrived.
well.
Kang Woo put his hand on his chin and made a worried expression.
‘Come, come!’
Even if he didn’t have to step out, our L took the bait first.
‘Show me a sorrowful look once and in a calm voice as much as possible.
Some degree of favorability work has already been completed.
Deceiving Uriel now is easier than twisting a child’s wrist.
I don’t have a grand goal to protect the world like Sihun. I don’t have firm convictions like Raphael-sama.
If so… Why?
A faint smile that seemed to fade at any moment
.
Startle.
Uriel’s body trembled.
It is this feeling again.
I could clearly feel the distant years in the eyes of a human who hadn’t even lived half of his life.
Eyes that contain complex emotions that cannot be dared to be measured.
Kang Woo said softly. There was a precious person. Yes, really… He was a precious person.
…….
couldn’t keep him…
Kang Woo clenched his fists and trembled slightly.
Thick tendons sprouted from his clenched fists. who? When I first awakened as a player, he was the one who protected me when I entered the gate without knowing anything. He was a player named Lee Ki-young.
Just say the name that pops into your head.
It doesn’t matter if that person really existed.
The truth doesn’t matter.
Only what looks like the truth matters.
Helped me a lot. Without him… I wouldn’t be here right now.
but.
At the hands of Andras, a demon-worshipping guild… Ki-young’s older brother died. No, to be precise… I killed my brother who became a monster after being encroached on by demonic energy with my own hands.
thud. Uriel’s heart thumped greatly.
To kill someone dear to you with your own hands.
There was no way we were unaware of how great the pain was.
Because he had killed Raphael’s old friend with his own hands.
And now… I have new precious people again.
That… A human named Kim Si-hoon? There are many other things besides Sihun.
Kang Woo smiled. Staring into space, he spoke in a voice longing for something lost.
It doesn’t matter what the world is like.
Anymore. Anymore… I don’t want to lose someone dear to me.
Kang Woo said with a smile that seemed like it would break at any moment.
The clear fear in his voice.
Uriel kept his mouth shut. The image of himself who lost Raphael was overlaid on Kang Woo.
‘yes.’
Kang Woo smiled inwardly. The dark emotion that can be seen on Uriel’s expression.
It was seen that trust and empathy for oneself bloomed in it.
‘Of course they would sympathize.’
When you break up with your lover, it is the instinct of living things to comfort the misfortune that befalls you through empathy, as if you sympathize with someone who has gone through this star next to you.
‘Come on to us.’
Kang Woo looked at Uriel, who was deep in thought.
‘Hang on more.’
‘Fill in me the void left by Raphael.’ Only then could this plan succeed.
Kang Woo waited for Uriel’s answer slowly.
Uriel’s mouth opened slowly. I don’t know that much about you, but…
Uriel looked at the young man smiling quietly in front of him.
I think I know why Tyrion chose you as an Apostle.
haha. It’s overrated. It was just lucky.
Do you think you can get God’s Choice by luck?
Uriel looked at him with an extremely serious look.
I heard about the rain in detail from Gaia.
How fiercely did you fight them? How many achievements have you built up a legend?
Gaia said that if there was no rainfall, the earth would already be a hell full of demons.
In fact, we couldn’t help but nod our heads after hearing his performance.
Although not widely known to the world,
it was none other than Kang Woo who played a decisive role in destroying the Devil Church. ‘I don’t want to lose any more.’
Uriel gently closed his eyes. Raphael’s figure came to mind. Comrades who have been together for thousands of years killed with their own hands.
How frustrated I was, how desperate I was when I killed him.
‘It’s like me.’
Rainfall was the same.
He was no different from himself.
My chest thumped .
My head was complicated by the gap between the image of Kang Woo I had seen before and the smile that seemed to break at any moment.
Uriel held Kang-woo’s hand without going against his overflowing emotions.
I’ll help too.
I’ll lend you my strength so you don’t lose any more. Haha… A dry laugh came out.
Moisture that couldn’t be hidden formed around Kang Woo’s eyes.
thank you thank you.
Big big. haha. Uriel-nim is the first to say this.
You didn’t even talk to Sihun Kim? yes. I’m afraid I’ll make you worry. I’ve never said anything like this to my lover.
Is that so? So am I the first?
Yes.
Uriel’s expression brightened noticeably.
Oh Kang-woo felt something thrilling about the fact that he was the only one who heard about the truth that the man had been hiding all along.
My face was hot.
Then, let’s start the investigation soon!
hastily got up. Kang Woo smiled and nodded his head.
yes. I do.
Kangwoo cleaned up the pot after emptying the kimchi stew and stood up.
Following Uriel, who strode forward, he investigated the traces of demons left everywhere.
And…
uh…?
Uriel’s eyes widened. While investigating the traces of Magi, unlike other traces, he found a new trace recently.
A trace so thick that even he, an archangel, is instantly terrified.
This isn’t just recent… The traces of Magi engraved just before.
danger…!
When I got up with a pale blue face
-Pajijijijijik! Black thunderbolts poured down like rain. Uriel hurriedly spread his wings and grabbed Kang Woo’s body and flew to the side. What!
damn! The place where Rakiel was hiding was here!!
It was good to find the Rakiel I was looking for so much.
The problem is that Rakiel also found them.
– Jerk-jerk-jerk. Hmm, I wondered what kind of bugs were smart, and it must have been you.
Silver hair that fell over her shoulders. Ten black wings sprouted from the back.
A being clad in sticky green tentacles like armor moves slowly.
He looked back at Kang-woo and twisted the corner of his mouth.
Heck, he’s still holding on. I thought it wouldn’t last long.
words of unknown meaning.
Laki L. Uriel’s fist trembled. A blue thunderbolt jumped out. rainfall! I’ll buy some time, so first contact the Guardians!
Uriel interrupted Rakiel and shouted.
*
But
there was no reply.
…rainfall?
Turn your head.
What I saw there was… Ahhhh.
The appearance of Kang-woo, who is clutching his head and moaning in pain.
What is it? Why are you doing that?
Uriel’s expression turned pale. It’s a look I’ve seen. When he first met Kang-woo, he entered the fortress and felt ‘Rakiel’s magic’.
Ahhhhhhhh! The rainfall kneeled and fell down.
It foams at the mouth and trembles its limbs.
Oh Kang Woo!!
Uriel turned Kangwoo’s body on the floor and hugged him.
And
uh…?
I felt a clear ‘magic energy’
in Kangwoo’s body as I embraced him .
I felt a clear ‘Maggie’.
