Chapter 223. How to tarnish holiness? (part 4)
“Oh,” Kang Woo exclaimed as he saw a message box in front of his eyes. – Amazing.
He was cornered, pushed to the limit, sank to the very bottom.
“And anyway…”
Even being in such predicament, he made a choice.
The Force of Submission did not work.
“Amazing.”
Kang Woo admired the fact that he failed to lead Rudbich off the righteous path. The guy thought that in such a situation the chance that he would refuse the deal is extremely small.
– But… – he shrugged as if he were laughing.
The chances were slim. And yet he admitted the possibility of his rejection of the offer.
But, fortunately, all preparations were already completed.
– Everything, – the demon laughed.
***
– I will not make a deal with the demon! He spat.
Rudbich leaned on the sword like a cane and stood up. He was not stupid and was well aware that his choice was not the best, that his actions would affect the future of Raphael and RNO.
“But…”, – his gaze flashed sharply.
He knew demons very well. How disgusting, vicious and cunning they are.
“A deal?” He chuckled.
It wasn’t even funny.

Satan said nothing about the terms of the deal. There was no need for that.
“Because…”
He was going to take everything in exchange for strength. And if this is true, then it is tantamount to the most common defeat.
Rudbich was not that stupid.
It wasn’t a way to get out of here. Before he could pass on the information he had received to Raphael, he would have become Satan’s puppet. He would betray the Light and destroy his comrades.
“You can’t do that,” his eyes sparkled with fierceness.
He had to tell Raphael everything he learned. But if he accepts the demon’s power, he will become a time bomb. In this case, he, Satan, will be able to inflict even more damage.
“Then…” – Rudbich swallowed, closed his eyes and concentrated.
Holy sword.
He had nothing but a sword.
“I will sacrifice myself,” he said calmly, looking at his weapon.
The sword vibrated and white light gushed from it. Rudbich, breathing uneasily, looked up. Not only from the sword, but also from his body, a bright light emanated. He quietly pronounced the name of the technique, which in such a situation would most likely take his life:
– Ray of Hope.
The vibration has become even stronger. Light exploded and surrounded Rudbich’s body.
His skin began to tear and four pairs of wings emerged from under it. And these were not the fake wings that have recently appeared on his back – these are the real angel wings. Balls of light surrounded him on all sides.
– Argh!
He was shaking.
The holy power that emerged from the sword entered his body. It was a wave of power that an ordinary person could not accept.
– A-ah! – a cry burst out of him.
Surrounded by light, he swung his sword.
With a single stroke, he cut through the darkness.
***
– Mister, – Pallock’s voice came from the black ball.
His tone was unusually serious. “It seems our plan has collapsed.
Kang Woo was going to defame his holiness and use the Power of Submission, forcing him to follow his will. Make the apostle your puppet.
But everything went wrong.
– It’s a pity, of course, a little, – Kang Woo leaned back in his chair.
During all last week he and Lilith had been preparing the cave and devising a plan. They prepared everything in such a way as to get the maximum benefit.
“And yet we seem to have failed.”
Of course, one could have simply killed Rudbich so that he would not use his holy sword.
But Kang Woo wanted more.
He believed that if he defamed his holiness, then you can get much more benefit.
“That’s why I expected to apply the Power of Submission to him.”
But the plan failed.
Kang Woo hoped that having rewarded Rudbich with strength, he can use him to his advantage.
– Do you want to kill him? – asked Pallock in a gloomy, angry tone.
– Hmm… – Kang Woo thought.
The guy leaned his elbows on his knees and remembered the conversation with Baal Hazak:
– It’s a pity for this Rudbich.
– Sorry?
– Yes. I have never seen such a strong person other than your brother. I think… he’s even stronger than Ronald.
– And so what?
– He-he-he, if you make a Death Knight out of him… Well, you get something completely amazing. It will make an excellent Death Knight… no, not even a Dread Knight.
– What is this name?
– This is the highest level of development of the Death Knight. It can be created from the soul of an unjustly killed person. Hehehehe, I think he will be so strong that even Pallock cannot beat him.
– Mm- m… not yet. In any case, first try to use the Power of Submission.
Remembering this short dialogue, Kang Woo said slowly:
– No, don’t kill him.
– But then he…
– It’s okay.
“He knows too much,” Pallock said worriedly.
Kang Woo chuckled.
– Pallock…
– Yes, Your Highness?
– How to tarnish holiness?
– Well, there are several ways…
– And if none of them worked?
Pallock fell silent.
How to tarnish holiness if none of the methods worked?
Even the question itself sounds illogical. There is no answer to it.
– Now listen carefully, – the guy laughed. – I will enlighten you.
***
He cut the darkness.
The cave shattered and light appeared in the cleft.
“This is…”
Before his eyes was already the familiar arid desert.
“The place where we arrived for the first time,” Rudbich’s gaze shone.
He turned and looked at the demon, Yogg-Saron, pursuing him. Strange, but now he didn’t move.
“This is my chance.”
He didn’t know why the demon was standing still, but it was definitely a chance.
Rudbich bent down, kicked off the ground and spread his wings. His body flew forward with great speed.
“We need to tell Raphael everything.”
He quickly flew out of the darkness, and the tentacles trailed behind him. But he was faster.
Rudbich burst out of the cave and landed on dry ground.
– Uh-uh-uh… – he tried to catch his breath.
He did his best and received his award. Rudbich understood that his life was hanging by a thread.
“Faster.”
We need to get to the RNO.
– Rudbich!
– Are you all right?!
At that moment, he saw Si Hoon, Kang Woo, Gaia, Yong Joo, Grace and other members of the Guardians running towards him. Apparently, the support that he requested not so long ago arrived.
– Um… – Rudbich looked at them warily.
Among them is a demon from the prophecy. First you need to tell them about it.
– Gentlemen, just…
– Wait a minute, – the young man with a keen eye raised his hand, walking at the head of the Guardians.
It was Kang Woo, and he continued with a serious look:
– Everyone stop.
– What is it? – immediately asked Si Hoon.
Kang Woo tightly pressed his lips together and curled.
– It’s too late…
– What? What are you talking about?
– Rudbich is under the influence of a demon.
– What?.
– K-kang Woo, is it true?! Gaia asked.
The guy nodded sadly.
– Yes… we are late, – he clenched his fists and stood firmly on his feet. – Heck! If only we could come faster! .. – he swore with sadness in his voice.
Rudbich stared at him stupidly.
“What nonsense?”
He was not under the influence of a demon. Rudbich refused the deal with Satan, and got out of this terrible cave on his own.
But…
“Late?”
– Kang Woo! Why are you doing that?! Now Rudbich is quite…
– No, – Kang Woo confidently shook his head and took out the ball for connection. – Actually, I thought that it was too late, even when I was listening to this tape.
A recording came from the ball:
– This is Ru… x. CT … o is… il Vr… that. Du… yu, uh… for… me. Yes… and then… under… influence… m de… on.
Rudbich’s voice was heard through strong interference. The words that he spoke while fighting death. Words that are more like a scream. Listening to this, one can understand that Rudbich did not have long.
Kang Woo put his hand on Si Hoon’s shoulder.
– Sorry, Si Hoon. I couldn’t let you listen to this until I was convinced.
– Ah…
– Rudbich… he has already fallen into the clutches of a demon.
Kang Woo turned away, unable to look at Rudbich. The same one just stared at the Guardians, his mouth open.
“What?” – thoughts in my head got confused.
The voice coming from the ball was definitely his.
But here…
He never said such words.
“What happened?”
Rudbich turned pale.
He remembered the dialogue with the Keepers as soon as he got into the cave.
– Who is… what is…
– This is Rudbich… Someone ruined the Gate!
– Ka… the situation?
– I’m fine, but my subordinates are injured. It’s dangerous to stay here. Requesting reinforcements from the Guardians. We will try to escape, gaining time.
– You… mo… you… you… go wrong…
– We cannot exit now. We are surrounded by demons.
– You… where…
– I don’t know. It seems to be some kind of dungeon.
– Wha… send…
He didn’t say anything but this.
“How…”
Someone changed his words to these.
– A-a-a… – Rudbich’s body trembled.
He turned pale and looked at Kang Woo.
– Rudbich is already defamed, – Kang Woo said confidently, almost crying. “We must… kill him.
How to tarnish holiness if none of the methods work?
Much easier than it sounds.
“The truth itself is not that important.”.

Its so weird that his name is rudebich lol I wonder where the author got his naming sense from sometimes
My guess is that the correct translation would be Ludwig or something of sort, that makes sense to me since it means something like “great warrior”, which seems a common theme for the character
Well it maybe so, but this guy tried to sacrifice the guardians first. So because of that Kang Woo tried to make him fall into demon
Why does he always do this? Does he not understand that the more he does this the more everything will collapse when he’s exposed and honestly eventually he will be. He came to earth to finally relax and eat good food but he’s making everything more and more complicated. Eventually he will be exposed and everything will be ruined, the people he cares about will turn their backs on him and he will lose everything because he continues to build up more and more lies and deception. Does he think they will stay with him after learning about all of his lies? The answer is no.
Now that u said it, I’m actually curious what would happen if they’ll know the truth
