Chapter 287 – Rotting Wound – PLAYER WHO RETURNED 10,000 YEARS LATER

Chapter 287 – Rotting Wound

– I can stay for a couple of hours, but then I have an appointment.

Actually, there were no meetings… He just wanted to get home as soon as possible and fall into the arms of his beloved.

– Really? Oh, great! There are a lot of dead people, so it would be hard for me alone.

“You killed ten in one hit.”

– Um, my army won’t be arriving in a few months, so… can you help me with Rakiel’s investigation until then?

“I want to relax with my beloved, moron.”

Kang Woo resisted the urge to speak these words out loud. Uriel’s request was a real stab in the back for him, as he was going to spend this time with Han Sol, going on dates and having fun.

The guy bit his lip.

– The investigation into Rakiel can be entrusted to…

– You were talking about companionship. So now you can’t just go back on your words and back out.

Fair argument.

Kang Woo had nothing to argue.

– In that case, Si Hong…

– No, you will help me.

“Why me?”

Kang Woo looked at Uriel with an anguished look. Why is he?

“Okay, that’s not so bad.”

The fact that they will clear the castle together and look for information on Rakiel had its advantages.

Firstly, in this way the angels will become his debtors, and one day this will help him a lot. Thanks to this, the angels will do what he wants.

But…

“Fuck!”

Kang Woo grabbed his hair. He knew that this would be good, he knew that it was necessary…

“But I want to have fun!”

Even knowing the benefits, it was difficult for him to force himself to do it. He was doing too much work that he did not want to do. Kang Woo even thought it would be better if Rakiel really existed. And given that Rakiel is Kang Woo himself, they will simply be wasting time trying to find traces of a nonexistent fallen angel.

“We’ll have to lie.”

Kang Woo sighed and said:

– I also have a lot to do, so more than two or three times a week I won’t be able to help you. Is that okay for you?

– Well, if you’re busy, there’s nothing you can do.

Fortunately, the angel did not become stubborn.

– Then today let’s finish as soon as possible. And we will start to deal with Rakiel tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

– Good! Uriel nodded in satisfaction.

For a moment, a smile crossed the angel’s face. Kang Woo, pressing his lips tightly together, covered his eyes with his hand.

“Oh my mother…” – He swallowed a curse that he could not utter aloud.

***

A month has passed.

Kang Woo has been very busy during this time.

He went on dates with Han Sol and rested with Echidna and Alcyone at home. The guy even got out together with Lilith on a trip to thank her for the work done. She then just screamed with delight, like Kang Woo, but for a completely different reason.

Of course, he was not only having fun.

At times he trained control over Magi and looked for traces of Rakiel with Uriel.

“Well, of course, it didn’t succeed.”

Rakiel does not exist, what traces could there be?

Kang Woo even suggested that Uriel surrender, because they could not find anything, but he was in tune strong.

The two of them have spent so much time together that they have become quite close.

Which is generally expected.

– Oooh… – Kang Woo got out of bed. “These tracks again.

Every time he slept with Han Sol, he found red marks all over his body in the morning. Some places are even humid. He asked out of curiosity, but she did not answer, and due to the fact that he began to fall asleep every time he fell into her arms, he could not check for himself where they came from.

“So, – Kang Woo awakened Magi. “As I thought.”

Even after he fell asleep in Han Sol’s arms, in the morning his control over Magi became a little better. Although he did not know why this was happening, he was even better at controlling the Magi in this way than after training.

“This is the influence of Seraphim?”

He was not sure.

Anyway, after realizing it, he started sleeping with Han Sol more and more. There was no reason not to use such a fantastic way. Plus, Han Seol liked it too, so he killed two birds with one stone.

“But when I fall asleep with Han Sol I feel like I’m physically working.”

This was not the case before, but now, waking up in the morning, he felt exhausted.

He seemed to have slept already tired.

“This is most likely something to do with the increasing control over Magi.”

At least he thought so.

This, of course, is not comparable to rebirth, but training to control Magi required a lot of physical strength. So if at night he unconsciously trains control over the Magi, then this is not surprising.

“But then it’s not clear why this is happening just next to Han Sol.”

Since he was already used to this, he did not think about it and picked up the phone.

“See what news?”

He scrolled to the news tab.

“It’s time of peace. South America fully rebuilt.”

“Venezuela has become the first fully rebuilt city in South America since Coup Day. The Guardians have promised to help improve the city.”

“The Guardians Multinational has achieved dazzling success. But along with this, responsibility has also grown…”

“After the destruction of the Hellish Teachers, the world economy went uphill. They became an impetus for development…”

“The danger has not passed yet. In a quiet time, you need to be prepared for any troubles.”

After the problem with the Infernal Teachers was resolved, the Guardians, taking the USA as a basis, began to rebuild the global economy. Of course, there was still a threat from Rakiel, the Four Heavenly Kings and the demon from the prophecy. But the Guardians did not hide it. More precisely, they could not hide it.

In pursuit of a demon from the prophecy, people learned about a man named Oh Kang Woo. He possess great power, but even he was kidnapped and everyone understood that the demon from the prophecy is a really powerful enemy.

But since, unlike the Hell’s Teachers, the demon in the prophecy did not cause civillian casualties, interest in him began to disappear. The Guardians even gave a hint about spreading false information about the demon so that after the destruction of the Infernal Teachers it would be possible to receive support from other countries.

“Well, there is no other way out”.

Isn’t it always with public interest?

For example, as soon as there are rumors that some country is making nuclear weapons, the attention of the whole world is riveted on it, but as soon as people understand that they are not going to use these weapons, interest disappears.

Here is exactly the same situation.

At one point, the Infernal Teachers inflicted severe damage on both the Keepers and the people, keeping everyone in fear, but now this danger has passed.

– Leave everything as it is for now?

At the moment, the Guardians had money and nothing threatened their existence… And if everyone finally forgets about them, then there will be a way to remind about themselves.

– Kang Woo, Han Seol calls to eat.

The door opened and Echidna entered the room. Kang Woo nodded and stood up.

– Kang Woo… – Echidna clung to the guy’s shirt and looked at him with concern in her eyes… – Are you all right?

– What? What are you talking about?

– About nothing… – she shook her head.

Echidna dragged him into the living room.

– A, Kahn Have you got up already?

– Yes. You always get up before me, and I don’t sleep that long. Are you okay?

Usually Kang Woo gets enough sleep in four hours. For him, a person who, in principle, does not need sleep, this was more than enough. But not for Han Seol. Even considering that the soul of Seraphim is in her body, this time should not be enough for her.

– Oh, everything is fine with me She replied with a smile.

In fact, she did look pretty cheerful. No, even better than usual, and her skin glowed.

“Well, apparently okay.”

She didn’t look like she was lying.

Kang Woo pulled up a chair and sat down. Of course, there was kimchichige for breakfast.

– What?

But the broth was somehow different from the one to which Kang Woo managed to get used to.

– You added squid and garlic?

– Ah, I thought that the same composition might get you bored so I changed it a little.

– What are you talking about, how can I get tired of kimchichige?

– And yet, do you want some variety sometimes?

– Well, any Kimchichiga will always be liked by me. “” Kang Woo nodded and took the spoon.

The moment he scooped up the soup, the front door opened and someone entered.

It was Alcyone.

Kang Woo tried hard and hid her horns and wings, so now she looks like a real human beauty.

“Although this is not true, “he clicked his tongue.

– Mr. Kang Woo…

– Did you go somewhere?

– L-lilith asked to call you, those-bodies are ready.

Kang Woo’s gaze flashed.

He remembered the order given to Baal Hazak.

– Okay, I’ll come soon, – Kang Woo emptied his plate of kimchichige in an instant and stood up. – Han Sol, Echidna, will you come with me?

In order to understand if the masks that were created to hide the identity of Baal Hazak and Pallok were any good, he needed to know the opinion of several people.

– Yes, of course.

– I’ll go too.

Both girls nodded and they all left the apartment.

***

As soon as they entered Pallok’s house, they saw a dark-haired youth in an apron. His dark circles under his eyes made him look sickly and even a little annoyed.

– Who are you?.

– Hehe, master, what do you think?

The dark-haired youth bowed as if he were a waiter in a restaurant.

– I don’t stand out, am I?

– As long as you take off this purple apron.

– What are you talking about?

Baal Hazak patted his apron and Kang Woo shook his head.

– Huh? Baal Hazak? Han Seol asked in surprise.

She couldn’t help but be surprised at these changes, since the skeleton has turned into an ordinary boy.

– Well, how? OK?

– I would never have guessed it was you.

– You look like an anime character! – Echidna’s gaze sparkled, looking at Baal Hazak.

Considering that he wore a purple apron and had a bandage on one eye, he really looked like a character from Japanese comics.

“Too striking.”

But if Kang Woo hides his Magi, then no one will guess that he is Baal Hazak, the skeleton that controls the army of the dead.

The guy grinned and nodded his head contentedly.

– Is this… is that really you?

– Of course, madam, – he adjusted the suspension around his neck.

With this movement, a black haze enveloped him and he returned to his old skeleton.

– Oh, convenient.

– It took quite a long time to make this trinket, – he rather tapped himself on the chest.

Kang Woo looked around.

– Where is Pallock?

The door immediately opened and a guy with brown hair came out of the room arm in arm with Lilith.

– Pallock?!

He looked about two meters tall, and his features the faces were rather sharp. Pallock, who had looked very untidy before, became like a respectable young man.

– Is that you?. – Kang Woo looked at him dumbfounded.

Kang Woo thought that Pallock in human form would look like some pumped-up boxer, but he was not. Now it looked more like a model that can be printed on the cover of a magazine right now.

– Master!

Seeing Kang Woo, he smiled and walked in his direction, then fell on the floor in front of him.

Unlike Vaal Hazak, it was difficult for him to get used to such a modest size, given that he was three meters tall before that.

– Is everything okay?

– Oh, I’m showing such a pathetic image in front of you…

– It’s okay, given that your arms and legs are getting shorter, – Kang Woo helped him up off the floor.

Although he was shorter, his physique remained large.

– Master…

Pallock looked at Kang Woo, embarrassed by his miserable condition. But due to the fact that he remained large, it would seem that Pallock, leaning on Kang Woo, could easily crush him.

The guy pushed the big guy away and he fell again.

“There you go…”

Kang Woo shook his head and said:

– Everything is on the level, it turned out even better than I expected. Well done, Baal Khazak.

– Well, you, – he knocked with his knuckles. – Thanks to Lilith’s help, it turned out better than intended.

– Yes? – Kang Woo looked at Lilith.

She smiled broadly and shook her hands as she came closer.

– Although I did not follow the rest of the orders, it seems that I am beginning to understand how to hide Han Sol’s power.

– If it’s difficult for you, then take a little rest. Uriel is under my control, so everything must go according to plan.

– Wow, but it’s still your order, so I have to do my best. “Lilith laughed.

For some reason, Han Seol suddenly exclaimed and then nodded. She took out a notebook and started writing something. It looked like she was recording a teacher’s lecture.

– Oh, by the way, I was at the Sanctuary yesterday and Gaia asked for something send.

– Send?
