Chapter 700: I know (1)
‘Hee-ra looks so cool today.’
Personally, by scoring, it was worth saying that she had more impact than the first scene of the Kim Hyunsung awakening. I was nervous about whether she would be able to arrive in time, but it only lasted for a moment.
There was no damage to the team, and it was blocked before the dam was punctured.
‘Take me, Hee-ra. Really.’
She was like a beast, breathing wildly in excitement.
‘I take back what I just said.’
Her eyes began to change slowly, showing her desire to start the battle already. Anyone could see she was getting ready. I wanted to tell her to finish with them swiftly, but the problem was that I couldn’t do that yet.
The battlefield was vast. This wasn’t a war that would end shortly.
The entire northern part of the continent was a battlefield. As I lifted my head, I saw thousands of screens. It was too much to get all that amount of information even with my Mind’s Eyes. Plus, I was using a telescope, making it even harder for me.
Not all of the walls were in the battle, allowing me to breathe a little, but the battlefield itself was solid.
Less than 50% of the areas had properly entered the battle. Some of the enemy troops were still moving or watching the situation over long distances in the north.
They were also aware that in the current situation, it wasn’t profitable to enter recklessly.
“No. 34.”
-Yes… yes.
It was also hard to control Jung Hayan’s magic. It wasn’t really limitless, even if she gained near-infinite magic power.
Despite gaining the ability to control magic power for a long time, Jung Hayan had to minimize its consumption, so I had to keep looking at her condition.
The part that needed to be tightened a little more, the part that needed to be loosened, would be easy to discern if thousands of fingers were pressing on a keyboard.
It wasn’t difficult to tell them to let go of the force in their fingers a few times. Jung Hayan’s ability to control it was out of the ordinary.
I tapped on my thigh. Suspicion rose over the appearance of demons that still weren’t responding correctly. I began to feel a bad taste in my mouth at the thought that it might be the worst of all the situations I could conceive.
I was hoping for the Army of Holy Light to wipe out the filthy demons right away, but…
“It’s not that easy.”
‘I thought they would all come in…’
That was the picture I wanted the most- to wage an all-out war right from the beginning. However, the picture that unfolded before my eyes was completely different.
‘Why did the Cherubim appear alone?’
Where were the other four great angels, and what were they doing?
It was obvious. They responded immediately to the sudden situation and sent Cherubim to observe my reaction. In other words, they were just testing the waters. They probably didn’t even send Cherubim expecting him to die.
‘Should I think so?’
One thing I could confirm was that they also had a control tower. It was inevitable that there was a guy who looked at the battlefield broadly and a.n.a.lyzed the situation.
‘The masked trash isn’t here.’
Unlike the first timeline, the second timeline’s outer G.o.d had no brain. I wondered if Jin Qing survived and joined them, but it was unlikely.
The masked trash was already dead. It probably was one of the four archangels who were controlling them as of that moment.
As always, I thought the need for information would be the same for them in such a situation.
That was why the meeting between Cha Hee-ra and Cherubim was essential. I had to know how much data I could get.
‘I can’t send Hyunsung yet.’
The rest of the opponents hadn’t shown up yet either, after all.
‘Hayan is tied up.’
I couldn’t remove Jung Hayan until the middle of the war.
‘Did Raphael really die?’
When I glanced at him, it seemed that he was breathing.
‘And the other side…’
-Fight for the Saint of Light!
-Let’s give our lives for Benignore’s son!
-Don’t let your guard down! Do not be fooled by their appearance, and do not listen to them. Keep in mind that all we have to do is believe in the Saint of Light as we fight. Don’t spare your life. To the path of death, he will be with us!
-Ahhhhhhhhh! Priest… priest!
-Surround the guy who came up! Don’t let him go! Wizards, don’t forget to keep the binding magic active at all times! Pour it out! Pour it out!
-Waaah… ahhhhhh!
-Am I… going to die… like this?
-The Honorary Cardinal must be watching, Marouane. Your sacrifice for the continent will never be in vain.
On one side, a desperate battle was already in progress. Whenever I witnessed people falling at the demons’ hands, I was overwhelmed.
The inside of my head felt a little cold as I took a sip of the iced coffee. Sad things were happening, but fortunately, the war wasn’t worse than expected.
Of course, there were deaths and injured people, but the same went for the enemies. War had always been like that. I could see places where matters could be turned over, but they didn’t even take out their cards, and I couldn’t take mine out first.
There was a minor problem that there were persistent deaths, but it’s better than taking the card out on a larger scale.
I naturally looked at Cha Hee-ra immediately after turning my head. I had to get what I wanted before she got mad.
“Hee-ra. You know there’s no need to overdo it, right? They took the bait anyway…”
Baaaaaaaaaang!!!
However, the fight had already started. I had no choice but to click my tongue at the roar that rang in my ears.
-Hahahahahahahaha!
Craaaaaaaaaash!
‘Ah… f.u.c.k… ’
While she swung her giant sword and ax, the blue light flashed.
When the walls began to burst out with a loud noise, other soldiers around them were spreading the distance. They were aware that if they got caught in that fight, they would go straight to the arms of the Saint of Light.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
The giant sword’s movements were stopped momentarily. He was seen holding the blade with one hand. Of course, that didn’t stop Cha Hee-ra. After she immediately let go of the sword, she grabbed the guy’s hair.
With a swoosh sound, he fell into the opposite wall.
She grabbed his head and swung it like a weapon.
After releasing the ax in her left hand, she immediately threw a punch against him.
Booooooooooom!!
Each attack sounded like a bomb exploding.
Booooooooooooom!!
Heera, holding his head and swinging her fists over and over again, made me worry that she really lost her reason.
Booooooooooooooooom!!
‘Ah… this… really… It’s excellent if she wins like this… If we catch him, would I have any benefit?’
He tried to escape somehow, but Cha Hee-ra didn’t allow it. He tried to avoid her attacks. .h.i.tting his head, but her elbow struck his chin instead.
Craaaaack!
‘Hold on. f.u.c.k.’
She was. .h.i.tting his face with her fist as if she’s hammering at random. If it were ordinary people, their heads would’ve burst out already.
It was like watching a dogfight without any form or method, but the result they created was far from a dogfight. Ma.s.sive debris fell from place to place as rumbling sounds echoed.
The fact that they could face each other without losing focus in such a state was perplexing, but the red figure stood out more than the other guy. It was as if I saw an active volcano that was about to burst.
A good victory. Perhaps everyone else watching that fight had a similar thought.
However, when I saw no sign of him taking damage, I immediately dismissed that expectation.
At first glance, it seemed as though he was being beaten at random. But he could afford it. Of course, even Cha Hee-ra didn’t seem to be fighting earnestly.
She was aware that the surroundings hadn’t been properly organized. I wondered if she thought that the priority was to push him out, or evacuate the soldiers around her.
It seemed that a full-fledged battle would begin only after a large stage was secured, considering their ma.s.sive destructive capabilities. Of course, I didn’t intend to let her go there.
“Hee-ra! Hee-ra!”
-Don’t interrupt. Do you understand me? Don’t get into battle.
Sure. I absolutely understood. Of course, I had to understand.
“Don’t fight now. You can’t lose your mind, Heera.”
-…
-Who are you talking to?
-None of your business, blue hair.
Booooooom!!
-Strong.
-What?
-You are strong. Almost hard to believe you’re human…
Craaaaash!!
-What? I can’t hear you.
-It’s hard to believe…
Booooooooom!!!
-You have to say it louder.
-That you are…
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!
-What?
-It’s hard to believe you’re human.
I could see him shaking off Cha Hee-ra’s arm and finally opening his mouth while standing in the air.
He was a mess. The first thing I noticed was that his hair was so messed up it made me think he was lucky that it wasn’t pulled out. His clothes had also been dirtied. The foreign light wrapped around his head caught my eyes. The messed blue hair was neatly tied.
Hee-ra was looking at him as if her excitement was gone. However, her body seemed to be getting ready to go back into battle at any time.
‘Do you care about your appearance?’
I thought maybe his feelings were completely castrated, but that wasn’t it.
I didn’t know if they were self-conscious, but they also had emotions. Of course, it was another matter to see if human standards could interpret it, but Cherubim didn’t seem to welcome the fact the others would see him in a mess.
Once again, the blue light gathered into one point and began to take the form of a scythe, and Cha Hee-ra lifted her sword and ax that she unequipped.
‘If I could get a little more information…’
Although I was aware of the basic information, there were still many things I didn’t know about them. In particular, information about Cherubim was minimal.
Cha Hee-ra’s eyes were constantly changing, but I needed information.
“What is the purpose of coming here?”
-Why are you here, blue hair?
-You weren’t listening, were you? To bring salvation.
-Stop with the nonsense.
-Red beast, even when you talk to me, you want to fight. Someone is telling you not to fight now.
“Ignore it, Hee-ra.”
-…
-The continent is rotten, shattered between incompetent light and darkness by an existence that’s like a lump of cancer. I’m not mistaken, red-haired beast. Salvation, as we speak of, is the safety and management of the continent. There is no other meaning other than that. We are the saviors. We arrived to save the continent with no other motives.
“I think you’re well prepared to say that… Am I hallucinating, huh? I can see the armed demons very well.”
-Because I knew it was going to be like this. There is no other meaning.
“How did you know?”
-Didn’t I tell you? There’s a ma.s.s of cancer between you guys that eats the continent.
Cherubim began to stare in my direction, muttering an unknown sound slowly. Strangely, it felt like our eyes met.
I hated to admit it, but maybe the worst I a.s.sumed had really come. Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds…
Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds remembered the first timeline.
