Chapter 303 – What Oh Kang Woo Hides – PLAYER WHO RETURNED 10,000 YEARS LATER

Chapter 303 – What Oh Kang Woo Hides

– What were you doing yesterday that did not reply to my messages?! – shouted at the guy Uriel.

Kang Woo smiled bitterly. He just arrived at the Angel Fortress in Africa to meet Uriel.

– I had some business.

– What’s going on?!

– Well…

Kang Woo hoped that Uriel would defame himself, but he could not tell him about it, so he just smiled awkwardly.

The angel glared.

– Well, quickly tell me what you have there…

– Uriel, – Kang Woo interrupted him and continued: – I have a few questions, can I ask them?

– What are the questions?. – asked the angel, but nodded.

He was clearly unhappy with Kang Woo’s behavior, but didn’t ignore him.

– Do you know anything about the seed of dishonor?

There was silence. Uriel opened his eyes wide and spoke softly:

– Where… did you hear about this?

– I investigated Rakiel and found out about it, – Kang Woo explained calmly.

Uriel swallowed.

– You know that angels instinctively sense a lot?

– Yes.

– But if they can’t control their instincts, then their wings begin to turn black. And the more the situation gets worse…

– They become fallen angels.

“Yes,” Uriel nodded. – The seed of defilement precedes the point of no return. Before the angel becomes fallen, his wings sometimes change color to black.

– And the angel can find out that he contains the seed of corruption?

– No, the angel himself does not know about this. And others hardly notice it, because the changes are hardly noticeable. So you need to be even more careful and learn to master your instincts.

Kang Woo narrowed his eyes.

“So he doesn’t know about it.”

Uriel didn’t look like he was lying. Watching his reaction, Kang Woo was sure of it. Knowing the character of the angel, he would not have remained so calm if he felt something was wrong.

– And what happens to the angel, when did they fall?

In the case of demons who cannot cope with desires, everything is simple – they become mindless hellish creatures. But based on the information that Kang Woo heard about Rakiel, he did not go crazy or turn into something incomprehensible.

– The color of their wings finally changes to black, and Holiness disappears from the body. They can no longer use the Light, but instead become much stronger.

They lose skills, but gain strength. This means that something similar to the transformation of a demon into a hellish creature happens to them, although not to the same extent.

– And that’s all? Do they not lose their minds?

– No, but… their instincts are out of control, and they do crazy things. So even though they don’t lose their minds, they are already dead. “The more Uriel said, the darker his expression became.

Most likely, he remembered a close friend whom he had to kill with his own hands.

– Becoming a fallen angel is no longer possible return?

Kang Woo remembered seeing the temporary desecration phrase.

Uriel looked down.

– Usually not, but at the time of becoming a fallen angel there is an opportunity to return to normal. And in the case of Raphael… it was too late. “His face showed sadness. – But why are you so suddenly asking about this?. – Uriel rubbed the corners of his eyes that became wet.

– Oh, I studied the information about Rakiel and saw something about a fallen angel. I just wondered, – the guy replied calmly.

– But in Rakiel’s case, it’s a little different.

– What instinct did this to him?

“I don’t know that either. There is no information left in the docs.

Kang Woo nodded. This is the answer he expected to hear.

– You said that your senses are highly developed, right?

– Yeah.

– In this case, you probably have a hard time alone now. Moreover, Raphael’s affairs remained…

Uriel darkened.

– Everything… everything is in order. I am very good at controlling my emotions.

Not really good.

Kang Woo knew full well that his feelings were now in a shaky state. Otherwise the seed of dishonor would not have worked on him. Kang Woo smiled and said:

– Is that why you’re sending me so many messages?

– No! Not at all! Uriel shouted.

Kang Woo laughed. The angel turned his head away as if he was offended.

“Basically, I heard everything I wanted.”

He also figured out what happens to the fallen angels.

“In that case…” Kang Woo licked his lips. “This will work best.”

He is confident that Uriel’s emotions were directed at him. So the plan he presented in his head was the best fit for the situation.

“This problem cannot be ignored.”

After the seed bore fruit and then stopped growing, Kang Woo realized that it was impossible to stay idle. Now Uriel, having lost Raphael, switched to Kang Woo, and he knew this very well. And in order to drive him to madness, you will have to get your hands dirty.

– Maybe today we can look for traces of Rakiel?

– Didn’t you say that you are busy and you can’t today?

– Everything is fine. The paperwork won’t run away, so you can get distracted.

– R-Really?. – There was a sparkle in his eyes.

Kang Woo nodded and stood up.

– Let’s go to Russia today, where Raphael faced Satan.

– Good! Uriel smiled broadly and nodded.

Kang Woo saw all eight of his wings tremble. He turned away and smiled.

“It’s not difficult to play on emotions.”

It’s even too simple.

***

– Is this where Raphael fought Satan?.

– Yes. More precisely, the place where the School of Infernal Teachers was located.

High mountain. Looking at it and seeing cracks and chips, it is not at all difficult to guess that a truly grandiose battle took place at this place.

– Indeed… Magi is felt here.

Uriel closed his eyes and touched the ground with his hand.

Several months have passed since the battle, but traces of the Magi still remain.

– But because of this, it is difficult to find traces of Rakiel.

Because of the remnants of the Magi, it is impossible to tell who left them: whether Rakiel, or the Hell’s Teachers.

Kang Woo nodded.

– So I and decided to head here. If Rakiel is hiding, then there is no better place.

– Yes, indeed.

If you want to hide a tree, you need to hide it in the forest. These words had a meaning.

– And before work… – Kang Woo smiled broadly and pulled out a bag with kimchichige.

– Yes, things go faster on a full stomach.

– You just say that because you’re hungry.

They both laughed. Uriel placed his hand on a nearby stone, which was immediately struck by blue lightning. One could get the impression that he was cut with a knife exactly in two halves.

– Let’s eat, – Uriel cheerfully walked to the makeshift stone bench.

Considering that angels have almost no taste, they have no reason to eat. But Uriel was amused that he was having a snack with someone.

– Hee hee hee!

For the same reason, the angel almost did not eat, watching Kang Woo more as he devoured kimchichige. What if…

– What? – Kang Woo froze.

He stared stupidly into the air and then grabbed his head.

– What’s the matter with you?

Uriel has often seen this happens to Kang Woo during their search for Rakiel’s traces. The guy only smiled awkwardly and shook his head.

– Nothing.

– What do you mean “nothing”? You suddenly start looking into emptiness and then grab the back of your head. What’s the problem?

– Ha ha ha, just thinking. – Kang Woo shook his head and scooped a spoonful of rice with kimchichige.

The guy, eating the soup, darkened.

– Hey, what’s up? You like this dish so much.

– There is no appetite today.

Kang Woo, as if he didn’t know why this was happening, scratched his head. Uriel, unable to find a place for himself, continued to look at the guy. Some nasty feeling ran down his spine.

– Eat faster, – Kang Woo smiled broadly and continued to eat.

– Okay… – Uriel also began to eat soup, and then said: – Why did you join the Guardians?

– Me?

– Yes. You are not the Defender chosen by Gaia.

– Haha, yeah…

– So why are you fighting so desperately for them? You are not getting any benefit. I searched the internet and found out that after the quiet time, people don’t think about anything other than stuffing their bellies.

– Who knows.

Kang Woo touched his chin and looked thoughtful.

“That’s it!”

The guy is not yet began to act actively, and Uriel had already taken the bait.

“As soon as he showed kindness and showed an indifferent side, Uriel began to show me interest.”

Deceiving an angel turned out to be easier than taking away candy from a child.

– Unlike Si Hoon, I have no goal to protect the entire world. And I’m not as true to my beliefs as Raphael.

– Then… why? Curiosity showed on his face.

Kang Woo smiled mysteriously, and the angel trembled. He felt this feeling again. The guy’s gaze seemed to drag him into the abyss, and once he got there, Uriel was not sure that he could get out.

Kang Woo lowered his voice and continued:

– I had an important person for me. Yes… very important.

Uriel was silent.

– And I … could not protect him, – the guy shuddered.

From tightly clenched fists on his hands veins came out.

– Who was that?.

– The man who saved me when I unknowingly entered the Gate, only becoming a Player. His name was Lee Gi Young.

He mentioned the name that first popped into his head. It doesn’t matter at all whether such a person actually existed or not. The truth doesn’t bother anyone. The main thing is to look believable.

– He helped me a lot. If not for him, then I would not be here now. But he died… at the hands of members of the guild of Andras, who worshiped demons. More precisely, he absorbed the Magi and became a hellish creature, so I had to kill him.

Uriel’s heart beat faster. Does he not know how difficult it is to kill a close friend with his own hands.

– And now I have people dear to me again.

– Thoth… Kim Si Hoon?

– And many others, – Kang Woo smiled.

He looked into the void as if he was looking for something.

– I don’t care what will happen to the world, but I no longer want to lose people dear to me, – said Kang Woo.

He had a slight smile on his face but there was pain behind it.

Uriel pressed his lips together tightly. Now he saw himself in it.

“Yes!” – Kang Woo was jubilant in his soul.

Uriel’s face showed a lot of emotions. Among them was trust and compassion.

“Of course you’ll feel sorry for me.”

This is a natural instinct of a living being, as, for example, people sympathize with each other when parting with a loved one.

“Come on, Uriel,” Kang Woo looked at the pensive angel. – The empty space left after Raphael can be paid with me. And then the plan will be fulfilled.”

Kang Woo continued to live on Uriel’s answer.

– I don’t know much about you, but… – Uriel looked at the guy trying to smile. – I think I understand why Tyrion chose you.

– Haha, you’re exaggerating. I was just lucky.

– Do you think God’s choice is just an accident?

In Uriel’s gaze, boundless kindness was read. He heard a lot about Kang Woo from Gaia. How desperate he fought them, how much he achieved and what everyone’s good opinion about him.

Gaia said that if it were not for Kang woo, the demons would have turned the Earth into Hell long ago. Uriel couldn’t help but agree with all the good things that were said about him. But few did not know, but it was thanks to him that the Infernal Teachers collapsed.

“Doesn’t want to lose anyone else…” – Uriel closed his eyes.

Raphael’s image surfaced before my eyes. His close friend, with whom they fought side by side for millennia. And he killed him with his own hands. Uriel knew how hard it was mentally and how much it was pulling to the bottom.

“He looks like me.”

Kang Woo is the same. He was no different from Uriel.

Cats scratched his soul. The guy he used to see in front of him, and his image are now too different. Uriel, unable to control his feelings, grabbed Kang Woo’s hand.

– I’ll help.

Kang Woo was silent.

– I’ll give you strength… so that you don’t lose anyone else.

– Haha… – Kang Woo laughed dryly.

Tears appeared in the corners of his eyes that he could not hide in any way.

– Thank you. Really… thanks.

Uriel just nodded silently.

– Ha-ha, you are the first to whom I tell about this…

– What, even Si Hoon doesn’t know?

– I didn’t want to bother him. I didn’t even tell my girlfriend…

– Y-yes?. So am I really the first?

– Yes.

A sparkle appeared in Uriel’s eyes.

He was overwhelmed with emotions, because he learned something about which Oh Kang Woo remained silent for a long time. The angel’s face turned red.

– Let’s start looking! He got up abruptly.

Kang Woo smiled and nodded.

– Yes, come on.

The guy removed the empty pot from under the kimchichige and also got up. Uriel has gone ahead and has already begun to look for traces of Magi, which may belong to Rakiel.

– Huh?. – suddenly Uriel’s eyes widened…

Among all the traces, he found fresh remnants of Magi. So obvious that even he, a powerful angel, shivered in horror.

– They are quite fresh…

– Watch out!

At the moment when Uriel rose to their feet, black lightning rained down on them. The angel immediately spread its wings, grabbed Kang Woo and flew to the side.

– What the…

– Damn it! This is where Rakiel was hiding!

Uriel was glad they had finally found the Rakiel they had been looking for. The problem was that he noticed them too.

– I was wondering what kind of bugs were buzzing here, and it turned out to be you!

Silver hair up to the shoulder, and ten black wings behind the back. A creature enveloped in green tentacles was moving in their direction, as if creating armor. He saw Kang Woo and laughed.

– Are you still alive? I didn’t think you’d last that long.

He said a phrase that wasn’t quite clear.

– Rakiel… – Uriel’s fists trembled and blue lightning flashed behind his back.

– Kang Woo, I’ll buy time, and you tell the Guardians! Shouted Uriel, blocking the enemy’s path.

However, there was no response.

– Kang Woo?.

– Ah!

The angel turned around and saw Kang Woo clutching his head and start screaming.

– What’s wrong with you?! – Uriel turned pale.

He’s seen this before. A similar thing happened when they first met, when they entered the fortress of angels and stumbled upon the Magi of Rakiel.

-Ah-ah! – he knelt down and then finally fell to the ground.

Foam came out of his mouth and his body shook.

– Kang Woo! – Uriel ran up to him and raised him in his arms. – Huh?.
