Chapter 142 – Demon of Prophecy II
“Wait,” Gaia said, clearly entangled in Si Hoon’s words. – Defender, are you not lying?
– I’m telling the truth, – the guy answered immediately and shook his head.
The woman sighed after hearing such a firm answer.
– Are you sure Satan was in human form?
– His physique was definitely human. But due to the fact that he was hiding behind a veil, I couldn’t see it anymore.
– I see, Si Hong, – nodded her head Gaia. – Considering that the Infernal Teachers were also targeted at Alex, there is a high probability that Satan is with them.
– And in the end we returned to the Infernal teachers, – said Kang Woo.
Infernal teachers. Followers of demons, accepting their power and existing on Earth for over a thousand years.
“Those who are easiest to associate with Satan” – Kang Woo nodded to himself.
Of course, anyone would immediately think of the idea that Satan and the Hell teachers, having a common goal, merge.
Gaia, with a grim expression on her face, replied:
– Looks like it. Oh, if they are already working together, that will complicate things even more.
– Satan had enough strength three months ago to defeat Alex with ease. If at that moment he was weakened… then it’s scary to imagine what he is capable of, having returned all his strength.
A gloomy atmosphere appeared in the room. Kang Woo turned to Gaia.
– Are you going to adhere to the rules in this situation and accept only Defenders as Guardians?
The woman pressed her lips together tightly, but her doubts were short-lived. She turned her head to Grace.
– Grace, let me here.
– Okay.

Grace brought two square boxes. As soon as she opened the lids, a white mask and a crystal ball the size of a tennis ball appeared in the boxes. Gaia carefully took out one of the masks. A blue shield was engraved on it.
– Since the Guardians operate in secret, you must wear a mask during missions. In short, this mask is a symbol of the Keepers.
– A…
– First, Defender Kim Si Hoon. Do you have the power to help protect the Earth and destroy the demon from the prophecy?
– Of course, – the guy answered with fervor in his eyes and nodded his head.
Gaia smiled and held out the mask she had in her hands to Si Hoon.
– Welcome to the Keepers.
– Thank you… – with a slightly dumbfounded expression face answered the guy and took the mask, putting it on his face. – It’s not just a stylish thing, is it? – Si Hoon clarified, thinking that it must have some effect.
The woman handed him a crystal ball.
– This is equipment that allows you to quickly communicate with other Guardians. As in the Gateway, and anywhere else in the world. And by placing it on the floor, you can create a Gate that will lead you to the Sanctuary of the Defenders.
– And if suddenly such a thing gets into enemy hands?
Speak, the stone that opens the Gate to the main camp? A thing that, once in the hands of the enemy, can cause huge trouble. Gaia softly replied to Si Hoon’s agitated phrase:
– This is like the legendary equipment and won’t work on another person.
– Oh, I see, – the guy nodded his head.
Kang Woo thought about it.
“They don’t allow the possibility of betrayal.”
After all, even without handing over these objects to someone, you can stick a knife in the back. But for him it was not so relevant.
“It’s even good.”
Gaia is giving away such items for a reason.
The mask and the crystal ball really are are a sign of trust. This is how Gaia shows her respect to the Guardians. Given that there are two boxes, then Kang Woo will also be accepted as Guardians. The more trust Kang Woo can achieve, the less suspicion will arise in his relation.
– Next… – Gaia turned, and in the second mask was already in her hands. – Kang Woo.
– Yes.
She held out the mask to Kang Woo and continued:
– You’re right. Now we cannot adhere to the rules and accept only Protectors as Guardians. But I’m going to accept you as the Guardians for a reason, “she said fervently and the guy tightly pressed his lips together. – The concern for Protector Si Hoon and the anger that you showed when you learned that Satan was targeting him – these two reasons made me decide.
– Si Hoon is an important person to me. I cannot ignore the fact that someone is encroaching on his life, and it does not matter whether it is a demon from the prophecy or someone else, “Kang Woo said with a shining look and a firm tone.
Given that they are not blood relatives, the words he said had an even greater effect.
– Kang Woo!
– Oh, you seem to have a really wonderful brother. In fact, when I heard about Kang Woo for the first time, I was worried, but apparently in vain.
Over the body of Si Hoon, who was moved goose bumps ran, and Gaia smiled broadly. Kang Woo was able to evoke positive emotions in two people at once.
“Thank you Satan!”
Kang Woo was even ready to bow to him personally. The situation continued to please him more and more.
– Kang Woo, although you are not a Defender, you have a craving for justice in your soul not less.
“Yes, yes”.
– Do you have the power to help protect the Earth and destroy the demon from the prophecy?
– Of course, – he nodded his head without hesitation.
Since he really became one of the Guardians, a sense of justice awoke in him.
“Where else can you find such a just and pure person?” – Kang Woo nodded to himself.
– Welcome to the Guardians.
He received a mask with a blue shield engraved on it.
Kang Woo right there remembered the red mask worn by the Infernal Teachers.
The guy put it on.
[You become the Guardian]
[Applies the “Blessing of Gaia”, which has a larger effect on Defenders]
[You are not a Defender. Blessing effect reduced]
[All stats increased by 1]
– Huh?
– It”s…
Blessing of Gaia. A powerful buff perfect for Defenders, but since Kang Woo is not one of them, there was almost no effect.
And yet…
“All stats have increased by one,” his lips stretched into a smile.
Probably for other Players just some kind of stat unit and won’t be of much use, but not for Kang Woo. After all, his Magi has been elevated to a point that other Players never dreamed of, which is why the unit for him was not “just”, but “as much”. She was special to him.
“Heh, just look how she boiled!”
Kang Woo immediately felt the explosion of a new Magi in his body. His energy was so strong that if he did not know how to hide it so well, he would have been calculated long ago.
He thought that it will be necessary to distribute it through the blood using meditation, as taught by Si Hoon.
“Now I could fight the Guardian of Doom”.
Guardian of Fate, bringing death with him.
Being the ruler of Hell, he appointed him the commander of the 3rd squadron of the Nine Thousand Circle of Hell. Of course, he is noticeably weaker than such great demons as Pallok or Lilith, but he is strong enough to strike any other creature of the Nine Thousand Circle in an instant.
“I didn’t expect so much more strength.”
He even got the feeling that he did the right thing by becoming Guardian.
– I’m counting on you, – said Gaia with a smile, shaking Kang Woo’s hand.
– I’m counting on you, – the guy answered.- If you have any information on the Hell teachers, then immediately inform me.
– Good. If I find out something, I will pass it through the ball. Oh, and come to the sanctuary anytime. I’m lonely here, “Gaia said, waving her hand.
Her palm was so thin that it seemed she was ready at any moment break down. Looking at her, Si Hoon’s glowing gaze grew heavier.
– Yes, sure.
He turned and opened the door. They exited through the same Gate as they entered, and a familiar landscape surrounded them. Now they were on the roof of the house where Kang Woo lived.
– Thank you, Kang Woo…
– There is nothing to thank for.
“This I should be grateful.”
Kang Woo chuckled and put his hand on Si Hoon’s shoulder. The guy’s eyes were wet after everything that happened.
– Kang Woo…
– Huh?
Si Hoon looked up and stared into the distant sky.
“He’s really damn handsome.”
Sad looking at the sky, he was more beautiful than any model on the cover of a magazine.
– Today I have a new goal…
– New target?
– Yes, – sincerity was read in Si Hoon’s eyes, and he nodded. – I have a loved one.
“Well, what again?” – Kang Woo looked at the guy, discouraged.
What is he suddenly talking about love?
– Really…
– As soon as I saw her, I understood this is. I was born to protect her. “He turned away from Kang Woo and leaned against the railing. – I can’t get her fragile image out of my head.
Si Hoon clenched his fists tightly.
– And also… – a strong hatred mixed with energy began to emanate from him. “I’m going to personally kill the demon who did this to her.
Kang Woo was silent.
– Didn’t you see? She can neither walk nor see.
“Si Hong.”
– This is all because Satan came to Earth. He violated the Gaia System and killed the Protector.
“Wait a minute, Si Hong.”
– This makes me incredibly angry. It seems to me that this is the first time I have experienced such feelings.
“Well, why are you doing this?”
– I want to protect her, – said Si Hong with confidence in his eyes and voice.
Now Kang Woo had sense of responsibility for what happened.
– Protect her and make her smile.
“I understand you. Stop it already.”
– Kang Woo.
“I myself didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
– Thank you for helping me.
“I’m not going back to Hell listening to this? No? I spent ten thousand years there, what else do you want?”
– If not for you, I would not be so sure of your actions.
“Do you know who Lilith is? AND? Know her? You think it was easy to get back in your right mind after spending so much time with her?>
– Haha, it’s so embarrassing to say that. But thanks to your presence, I can stand confidently.
Kang Woo bent his head.
“Forgive me, Si Hong.”
A sense of responsibility and remorse made him tremble. Si Hoon extended his hand to him.
– Kang Woo, together we can kill the demon from the prophecy and protect the Earth.
There was a silence. Kang Woo didn’t know how to react to this. But it did not last long, and he firmly grabbed the guy’s hand in response.
– Good.
“Fuck, how can I be now?!”
Their handshake was firm.
– Let’s save the world from Satan.
The demon from prophecy, Satan…
This filthy and vile demon did not stop at the fact that he became the ruler of the Nine Thousand Circle of Hell and came to Earth. He destroyed the Gaia System, which protects the planet, and is going to have a hand in destroying it.
“You can’t just leave it.”
Anger seethed in him. This is how Si Hoon first fell in love. If you think that Si Hoon is closer to him as a blood relative, and their souls are connected, then he simply cannot leave this problem.
“I won’t forgive him!”
