Episode 208: An angel spreading its wings (3)
The angel spread his wings and looked at the world.
The world was still dark and the light was only faintly broken in the distance.
The city was literally falling into abyss, and it seemed like no god could save them.
Sinners who had fallen into the abyss flocked to the city in search of life, and people headed to the center of the city to avoid them and seek higher ground.
But even in that situation.
But people saved the baby.
People carried the baby by hand to higher places in the city. As if doing so would save the baby.
As if by doing so, even a baby could escape from this abyss.
They probably know it too.
Not being able to save the baby.
At best, all it can do is keep the child alive for a few more seconds.
So it was a meaningless action.
It was an action that went against the truth that beings who fell into the abyss cannot be saved, and that they could not save anyone with their own feeble power.
But the angel who spread his wings knew why people behaved like this.
I finally realized it.
Now the angel knew why he met the girls who would become warriors and joined them. Now the boy knew why he did not take revenge on the world even after gaining power. Now the referee realizes why he does not give up and fights against the darkness even in such a dark world.
This is because the referee had faith.
As if there were always wings behind the referee’s back.
But only if you believe that you can fly will you be able to spread your wings.
Flap – White wings flutter carefully, but without hesitation.
Just like that, the referee freely headed up to the sky as if he was not bound by the abyss.
So people could see angels.
The angel, to whom the term handsome boy was so fitting, was smiling. The angel had bright hair reminiscent of dawn, and there were traces of tears that had not yet been erased from the corners of his eyes.
People saw the angel and prayed.
“Angel, please at least have this child… … .”
“please… Have mercy on this child… … .”
And there was an angel in heaven who listened to people’s prayers. After hearing that prayer, the angel closed his eyes and said one prayer with all his heart.
“Please save those people.”
And Keter was activated.
A prayer that hears prayers.
A dramatic technique of prayer used by Archangel Lepriel in the past.
Light assisted the prayer and even darkness moved to fulfill the prayer. Both types of karma came together in the referee’s prayer.
The city that had fallen into the abyss began to rise above ground again.
Angel descending into the rising city.
The angel slowly but naturally folded his wings and went down in front of the girl he wanted to protect.
“Referee.”
The girl smiled brightly and hugged the boy.
“This is too much. My arm… … .”
Marie could see the referee holding back tears. The sight of her tensing her eyes and caressing the arm she lost without knowing what to do.
Just by looking at it, Marie didn’t feel any pain.
And without a sound, Marie’s arm had already returned to its original state.
“Marie.”
“Referee.”
“Why did you save that child?”
“Then why did the referee save me as a baby?”
The boy and girl looked at each other and smiled.
Because it was a question that needed no answer.
Did you really not know? In such a dark world, it was clear that the child would see a lot of sad things and experience a lot of hardships.
The child was definitely having a nightmare and might even cry.
but.
“There must be someone…” … .”
Just as the referee soothed Marie, who was having a nightmare alone in the red room with the gates of hell drawn on it.
Just as Marie comforted the referee who was having a nightmare alone under the black sky.
“Someday, someone will surely wipe away the children’s tears.”
The referee’s wings began to spread again. Angel wings that spread only through faith. Even though these wings absorbed the darkness that covered the world, they were emitting a bright light that people could see and feel.
People can see and feel it.
This light was not the light of karma.
Clearly, the truth was pointing in the direction of darkness. It is impossible to go back to the time when all that sadness and despair did not exist.
It was true that this world was dark.
But faith sometimes surpasses truth
People called such faith a miracle.
And now, a miracle was taking place where the city that had disappeared into the abyss was rising.
* * *
“It can’t happen.”
How many times have you said this? The Demon King was so shocked that he wasn’t even aware of such things. How can a city that has clearly fallen into the abyss stand on the ground again?
No one but an angel with spread wings would be able to escape from the abyss. That is the truth and the truth.
“People’s prayers came true.”

A voice similar to your own. However, a slightly brighter voice answered the question in the Demon King’s mind.
“You can’t create a miracle like this just by praying.”
It was obvious.
Who wouldn’t believe in heaven if prayer made the impossible possible? But the sky is silent and the light is empty.
There was no power in prayer. A truth proven by the tears shed on countless days. This will never go wrong.
“Yes, that must be the truth.”
A familiar voice confirmed those words.
But the voice didn’t stop.
“But this world is not made of only truth.”
And the Demon King is now beginning to realize who the owner of that voice is.
“Look at the world. There is nothing absolute or infinite in this world. “Karma is just karma, a mere speck of power compared to the world that actually exists.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You know.”
And the Demon King could see the angel with his wings spread.
“The truth is just the truth.”
‘It’s bright,’ thought the Demon King. Even though bright things cannot exist in the overflowing darkness that covers the world, the referee’s wings were bright.
“This world is not made of only truth, and people do not live only through truth.”
“why? “Why is that possible?”
The referee smiled.
“Because people have faith.”
“Then I will kill everyone who holds such beliefs.”
The Demon King gathered his strength again. He summoned the absolute solitude that had been oppressing Rusa, inflicted deep internal injuries, and concentrated his magic power to dissipate through magic.
Clearly, this decision was one that shortchanged the odds.
But now, the Demon King had to deny the referee.
“What about faith! “What’s the point in believing that there will be a good ending while denying the truth right in front of you?”
The Demon King saw his compatriots who disappeared a long time ago.
His own people looked at him with sad eyes as he lost his wings.
A foolish race that believed in humans even when faced with the truth that humans darkened this world and would eventually destroy it.
“Look at the karma! Humans made the world like this. I didn’t defile it! “How can you trust these people?”
And the brothers who were so precious to me who tried to stop me. The Demon King saw a past of heaven’s destruction that he could never forget.
“How on earth can you believe when the truth of destruction is right in front of you? Can you believe that people won’t destroy this world? “The people who did that to you?”
And the Demon King shouted.
“Why aren’t you following me, referee?”
And the Demon King extended his hand to the referee.
“Think about what you’re going through, okay?”
“Yeah, that was really painful. “I won’t be able to forget that night until I die.”
“Then why do you deny this truth, this truth?”
“I’m not denying the truth. “This world is dark enough to think that someone deserves to perish.”
“Then why, why? why!”
“Demon King, you still don’t know.”
The referee smiled brightly as he saw the Demon King reaching out for him.
“Belief doesn’t need a reason.”
And the referee’s pure white wings unfolded again, and the warm light shining from those wings was melting the demon king’s false black wings.
“Just as prayer doesn’t need possibility.”
“What a stupid thing to say… … . You’re a fool, referee! I have become an idiot… … !”
Unable to control his voice, the Demon King had no choice but to express his emotions as they were. Sadness, despair and hatred.
Dark emotions were evident everywhere in his voice and expression. The dark karma that began to sympathize with the Demon King’s emotions began to fluctuate violently at a level never seen before.
The shaking was so violent that it cracked reality. And from that gap, an incredibly dark karma flowed out.
Anyone other than the referee will know.
This is how the Demon King becomes one with his true power, dark karma.
The Demon King muttered as if he were a doll, without showing any emotion.
“I’ll fix it.”
“If you can, try it.”
the referee said.
“Because I will never give up this faith.”
* * *
A wizard’s hat with a large brim. The girl who was scratching under the hat muttered, ‘Finally.’
“You finally woke up.”
“Ugh, Soya, the referee… … .”
Soya wipes away her tears with her sleeve and extends her hand to the pink-haired girl floating in the shallow sea. The girl felt her own body getting wet and muttered:
“I don’t like bites… … .”
“I will stop you. Now, wake up quickly!”
“Ugh, damn it. “Do you get this upset over someone who got hit with a knife?”
“there is.”
“… “I guess someone is a warlock.”
Soya snorts after hearing the complaint.
“Hmph, I’m not at all ashamed of being a warlock, right? “Still, I hope you’d be a little more careful about using such hateful expressions.”
“Look at you talking nonsense about being busy.”
When Hongwol got up, Soya dried off all the moisture from Hongwol with just a flick of her hand.
“How did you heal your stomach?”
“I was healed with the potion given by Rainmaker.”
“Rainmaker? “That guy is doing something else.”
“The best alchemy in the human world… No, there is.”
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk – There was something the girls couldn’t see but could hear. It was the sound of karma collapsing the dimension so powerful that it made you doubt your own senses.
“Ha, is that real?”
“Uh, um. I didn’t expect it to be this much, no, it’s exactly what I expected. eww.”
Soya unconsciously lowers her visor to hide her frightened face. Hongwol wrapped Soya’s shoulders without saying a word.
“Why would the Demon King reveal his full power?”
“Of course, ah!”
Then suddenly Soya’s trembling began to subside.
“The referee has finally woken up!”
“Okay, the referee is up.”
And Hongwol touched Soya’s shoulder and muttered.
“With the referee, we never lose.”
“… okay.”
Soya gently lifted the visor.
If I were to describe that expression in one word, it could be said to be a confident expression.
“I believe that too.”
