Chapter 264 – Before Oh Kang Woo’s Rescue
In the video streaming through the noise, Kang Woo was tied to a pole. He was wrapped in black chains created from Magi, which cut through his skin.
His shoulders, arms, calves, thighs and collarbones – everything was in torn wounds, one eye was missing, and a real horror froze on his face.
– Si Hong…
– Ahhh!
Even now, in such a terrible situation…
– Run…
… Kang Woo only asked Si Hoon to run.
– Hmm, it seems you still have not come to your senses? – the demon in Kang Woo’s body smiled disgustingly and snapped his fingers.
– Kx!
Sharp spikes appeared on the black chains that cut through Kang Woo’s skin.
The dozen chains around the guy’s body began to stir. Sharp spikes cut through the flesh even deeper and the bloody wounds that had dried up began to flow with renewed vigor.
Kang Woo was desperate to endure the pain experienced. From such a sight, Si Hoon’s mind grew dim.
– Stop, creature!
He strained all his forces and an explosion of energy occurred. Mad lights appeared in his eyes, comparable to those when a predator sees prey.
– Pha ha ha! – the demon from the prophecy laughed again.
He was so amused by what was happening that he simply could not restrain himself and laughed at the top of his lungs.
– Bastard, I’ll kill you! – Si Hoon screamed furiously and rushed forward.
But since he had done his best before, a light blow from the demon knocked him to the ground.

– Ah-ah! .. – the guy groaned.
He rolled on the ground, and all his limbs ached. He looked as pitiful as possible now.
– What a cute brother, – the demon sighed mockingly.
Si Hoon looked up at the sound of something dripping. The demon, as if getting rid of the unnecessary mask of Kang Woo, tore the skin. Now he looked like a lizard shedding its skin. The skin fell to the ground.
The body of the demon that got rid of Kang Woo’s mask…
– A-ah! The guy opened his eyes wide.
Now he realized why Gaia said she didn’t know who the real demon from the prophecy was.
Liquid as black as tar. Darkness, in which not a drop of light could be seen. A demon that instills a real horror in only one appearance.
– This, the fuck, what is it?. – Yeon Joo trembled.
Daemon?
Can you call him a demon?
He had no mouth, no eyes, no nose. It’s just darkness, and nothing else.
– What kind of slime is this?.
Although in words everything sounded simple and not scary at all, but saying this, the girl turned pale.
Yeon Joo instinctively knew that this monster was not a slime.
– Want to save this man? He laughed.
The demon pointed with a grin at the screen hanging in the air.
In this situation, no response was required. For Si Hoon, Kang Woo was a really important person, and he knew about it.
The demon got something. It was a small black stone, created from a thickened slurry.
– If you want to save this person, then use this stone. He will take you to where this person is.
Si Hoon was silent.
– Even interesting, – the slurry stirred, – how far are you ready to go.
An obvious trap.
Together with his words, one of the walls collapsed, and an angel with six wings appeared – Raphael.
– Agrh…
Perhaps because his wounds have not yet fully healed, he grimaced in agony before the battle even began. He was breathing heavily and, compared to fighting against Satan, his wings were radiating much less Light.
– It seems the time has come to retire, – the demon from the prophecy turned around.
– Do you think you will be able to escape?! – Raphael swiftly flew in his direction.
The demon waved his hand made of slurry. She touched Raphael’s shoulder and peeled off his skin.
– Ah! ..
– Raphael! – Shargiel immediately ran up to him.
Now Raphael was not in the best condition, and it is definitely not under his control to fight the demon from the prophecy power.
– Is this all a powerful angel is capable of?
Raphael’s gaze wavered. He stared at the demon whose body was made of black ooze.
– You… what the hell are you?! In the legends of this…
– Legends? – the demon from the prophecy laughed. “The story is missing a lot.
A black rift appeared behind the demon, to which it slowly headed. Before disappearing, he barely audibly added:
– He is waiting, man, – with these words the demon from the prophecy disappeared into the darkness.
Si Hoon tightly pressed his lips together and lifted a black stone from the ground. Along with this, the guy realized that he had reached his limit, and everything went dark before his eyes. The holy sword slipped out of the hand, touched the ground and turned into white dust.
***
– Oh, well, well!
After Kang Woo opened a rift with the Force and escaped, his breath was heavy.
– It was close.
He was on the edge. Although, if you think, “on the brink” – that’s putting it mildly. He failed. Now he kept afloat only thanks to the trust that he had earned from Gaia, Si Hoon, and Yong Joo.
– Now… – he squinted.
This is where the real game begins. He has already inflicted wounds on himself, all that remains is to work on the details.
– Fuh.
Kang Woo caught his breath and plopped down on the spot where the sofa had been. It also took him some time to figure out what to do next, because something happened that he did not expect.
“So far, I have time.”
He threw a black stone that will lead them here to save him. They created this stone together with Lilith and used it during the execution of the plan to destroy Rudbich.
“They will not immediately use it.”.
Even a fool would know that this is a trap. Of course, he should consider that they may not use the stone at all, but Kang Woo shook his head as he thought about it.
“No, they will come.”
The guy knew Si Hoon very well.
An obvious trap, but he won’t be able to sit still.
“He will do anything for me. “Kang Woo laughed.
The guy again felt guilty towards Si Hoon, but then shook his head and continued the thought:
“First we need to deal with the situation,” his eyes flashed.
If you look only at the result, not dwelling on the process of achieving it, then everything is not so bad. He will not only come out dry, but will also be a winner.
“And the timing is right.”
This happened just after Gaia announced that the demon from the prophecy was not Satan.
“I still had to do something like that.”
Because of Gaia’s words he could no longer cheat using Satan. Moreover, he wondered who to make a new demon from the prophecy instead of Satan.
He put his hand on his forehead and remembered Gaia.
“Now there is no need to look for a new demon from the prophecy.”
If, for example, Lucifer becomes the scapegoat, then at some point Gaia may appear again and say that he is not a demon from the prophecy and then Kang Woo will be caught by the hand.
“Aggravating”.
Just thinking about Gaia, rage boiled in him. But as much as he hated her, she was the one who protects the Earth. If suddenly she dies, then the system will finally collapse, which will lead to the collapse of the entire planet.
“And if after that the Gods of other worlds begin to interfere in our affairs…”
There was nothing to think about.
No matter how strong and smart he was, the Earth will self-destruct. From his favorite nest, in which he wanted to spend ten thousand years, nothing will remain.
– Fuh, – he exhaled.
Shaking his head, he began to think in a different direction. Now we need to focus on the demon from the prophecy.
“We need to make sure that no one understands who he really is.”
We need to hide his identity, as they do in the comics, creating intrigue.
“But at the same time, you don’t need to go out of your way to do this.”
Everyone should be sure that the demon from the prophecy really exists and is not some fictional character. After all, you need to make someone guilty of all sins.
– How complicated it is… – he rubbed his forehead.
It is necessary to create evidence that the demon from the prophecy exists, but at the same time hide his identity. It is difficult, of course, but now it is the most effective method.
“Hiding and at the same time obvious…” – Kang Woo narrowed his eyes.
Thoughts were spinning in his head with great speed.
“There is one way.” , – his gaze flashed sharply.
He came up with something. For this, he threw a stone in front of Si Hoon.
– First, you need to contact Lilith and Pallock.
Given that the situation is really confusing, he needs these two, because he has been with them for a long time and they understand each other.
“But Echidna or Alcyone…”
He hesitated.
He hasn’t experienced much with them. Echidna just took a small part in the murder of Rudbich, and he doubted Alcyone’s acting at all.
“But nothing can be done.”
He can’t do it all alone. For a successful performance, minor characters are also important.
“Then, perhaps, it is worth contacting Baal Khazak, Echidna and Alcyone.”
But then he thought about Han Seol, because she also trusted him, but immediately shook his head. Given the situation, it would be best if as few people as possible knew about what was happening. And given that Han Seol is not spiritually connected, it is best to hide it from her.
Kang Woo got up.
“The first thing to do is to choose a stage for your performance.”
But since he didn’t know exactly when Si Hoon would use the stone, he had to act quickly. Luckily, he already had the scenery ready.
The guy has moved to a previously created cave.
[You are in “Lilith’s House of Love ♥ The Lord who told you to install this name * already installed” SS level cave]
Silence fell and Kang Woo grabbed his head.
– Shit.
Even the scene will have to be redone.
** *
A loud sound like a bomb blast spread through the room, which looked like a huge fortress.
It was Si Hoon, who hit the table and broke it in half.
– Repeat, please, – he directed a furious glance at Shargiel.
He took a deep breath.
– Angels will not take part in the operation this time.

If he tells them it’s inside him his friends will trust him but the angels will most definitely try to kill him
The problem with his current thought is that the demon from the prophecy, the devourer, the undeniably Kang Woo, is now the bad guy. Eventually, someone will show up who can pinpoint the devourer that Kang Woo can’t kill in secret. At that point, it is important that “the devourer” doesn’t have any sins. The defense “I would never destroy the world” doesn’t work when everyone can clearly pinpoint the time Kang Woo killed several angels and and stomped on all of his ‘friends’.
That is to say, it would now take some kind of weird plot armor for Kang Woo to either keep his secret to the end or get his human allies to accept him despite being the devourer. I’m really disappointed they did this.
Too early to tell…he might just put all the blame on Devil Overlord that inside the ocean in his body. Said he was controled or something.
I agree, when he was summoned he could have kept blaming Satan for killing Alec, Rudbich and Ronald and only confessed about the ocean of power. If we think about it the demon from the prophecy is actually that thing sealed inside of Kang Woo so if he told his close friends that I’m almost sure that they would choose to trust him, it would create a plot point about killing him for the sake of the world but they also could try to find a new way to cure Gaia and the system.
