Chapter 323 – Atonement – PLAYER WHO RETURNED 10,000 YEARS LATER

Chapter 323 – Atonement

– Kang Woo, I liked it! – smiled Echidna and squeezed Kang Woo’s hand.

They spent a whole day in Akihabara. The sun began to set, and the counters gradually closed. Kang Woo smiled and nodded in agreement. The first maid cafe, where they went, strained him a little, but the rest of the time was really interesting.

– Let’s come again, – said the guy, stroking her head.

– Yes! – She replied cheerfully.

Looking at Echidna’s happy expression, Kang Woo felt like- it’s warmer.

– Well, let’s go back?

Although earlier he had told her not to forget her passport, they did not arrive by plane. After all, they can open the Gates anywhere in the world, being in the Sanctuary of the Keepers.

In order to open the portal, they found a poorly populated place.

– Thank you… – Echidna said quietly, pulling his sleeve.

Kang Woo turned around and looked down at her.

– If not for you, then I would never know what happiness is, – she smiled awkwardly.

And for some reason her smile seemed incredibly beautiful…

Kang Woo hit himself in the cheeks. He’s not used to feeling something like that.

– Let’s go back…

– Yes! She squeezed her hand tighter.

Although this feeling is unusual for him, but the sensations were not bad at all.

***

The day after travel to Japan with Echidna, Kang Woo received a message from Si Hoon and headed to the Sanctuary. The face of the guy on the training ground was extremely emaciated.

– What’s wrong with you? Kang Woo asked, frowning.

If Si Hoon is in this condition, then this is a serious matter.

– Kang Woo… – he said in a trembling voice.

The guy stood there, biting his lip.

– I called you because I want to ask you something.

– What?

– Gaia does not knows. But you were a demon, right?

– Oh, yes.

In fact, nothing has changed even now, although Si Hoon thinks that Kang Woo has become a human again, taking on the role of the hero chosen by God.

– You were a demon… and is Magi dangerous for you too? – he looked straight into Kang Woo’s eyes, longing to hear a denial.

“Yeah… – Now Kang Woo understands why Si Hoon so behaves. “What a cute infection.”

He’s just worried about his brother.

Kang Woo barely restrained himself from smiling and thought.

“What should I do?”

He even thought about whether to tell him the truth alone. But, thinking about it, he shook his head.

“No, he is too close with Leila.”

After Grace devoted herself to the external concerns of the Guardians, Si Hoon took over the protection of Leila. Of course, after Gaia regained her strength, they returned to Leila, but Si Hoon chose to stay at the Sanctuary and continue to monitor her anyway.

“Although I feel guilty before Si Hoon…”

But if you tell the truth now, then Kang W may be in even greater danger.

– Yes, because my body has become almost human.

– In that case… if you get hit by a large amount of Magi, will you become a demon again?

– No, – Kang Woo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Si Hoon turned pale. There were only two options, if Magi got into the human body – he either became a demon, or…

– Really… you will become a hellish creature?

Si Hoon knew the difference between a demon and a hellish creature. If a person becomes a demon, then he leaves his mind, if a hellish creature…

– I don’t know. I’m not sure about that myself. But if you look at what is happening to me now, I can assume that yes, – Kang Woo smiled bitterly.

– But… – Si Hoon quickly came up and put his hand on Kang Woo’s shoulder.

Thoughts were confused.

“Why… why only Kang Woo has to go through all this?”

Si Hoon knew perfectly well how difficult and excruciating it was to contain all this pain. After all, he once contained the seed of Satan.

“Kang Woo sacrificed a lot.”

He tries harder than anyone else to protect the planet.

“So why?.”

Si Hong gritted his teeth.

He felt his helplessness and compassion for Kang Woo, and at the same time, hatred for Rakiel, because of whom all this happens… In addition, many other feelings were mixed in him. Never before had his emotions been so pronounced.

– Why didn’t you say this?

Kang Woo was silent.

– Is that an angel about this does not know? You are looking for Rakiel together. But why, why…

Si Hoon felt jealous and inferior. Due to the fact that he was less important to Kang Woo than this insolent angel Uriel, heat ran down the guy’s back.

“Does he trust him… more than me?”

Otherwise, Kang Woo would not have known about Uriel alone.

The guy bit his lip and trembled. He knew that he himself allowed such emotions to appear, but…

– Why didn’t you say?

It was too difficult to contain emotions.

– Me too… Kang Woo, me too…

He can protect his brother too. Si Hoon was desperate to get stronger in order to do it. No matter how difficult the training was, no matter how dangerous the tasks were, the guy endured everything just in order to repay Kang Woo for his kindness.

– Si Hoon… – Kang Woo smiled bitterly and looked at the guy.

He gently put his hand on his shoulder.

– I wish you were happy.

Si Hoon was silent.

– So that you don’t worry about anything and just smile.

– Kang Woo…

– Although we are not bound by blood, I am still your elder brother. “He grinned and patted the guy on the shoulder. “And the older brother always wants the best for the younger.

Kang Woo finished speaking and turned around.

He felt Si Hoon’s blank look on him and said at last:

– Your body is bad. Training is beneficial only when you feel good. Otherwise, there is no result.

The guy shook his hand and left the hall, closing the door behind him.

***

After moving home from the Sanctuary, Kang Woo staggered.

– A-ah!- he had a feeling that his whole body was tingling.

No, not just “tingling.” He thought he was about to die. The guy leaned against the wall and vomited.

– A-aggrh!

Kang Woo knew he was too cruel even for him.

“But because I can’t tell you that I tried to turn Uriel into a fallen angel!”

This is a situation for which there was no logical explanation from the very beginning.

– And yet…

He managed to glance at Si Hoon before closing the door and it looks like Kang Woo has achieved his goal.

“If you don’t know, then you might think that it was a confession of an unrequited lover.”

So Si Hoon’s face was tortured.

– Oh-oh, he won’t be able to meet him for a while.

Every time he sees it, he will remember this dialogue, and I’m not sure if he can handle it.

At that moment his phone vibrated. He looked at the screen and Si Hoon called him.

– What else? What is the problem?

They’ve just had a serious conversation, but for some reason he’s calling again. Kang Woo frowned.

– Fuck… – he closed his eyes.

If it was his will, he would decline the call and spend the rest of the day with Han Seol, but he couldn’t just ignore the call.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

Kang Woo accepted the challenge with a trembling hand.

– Yes, Si Hoon.

– Kang Woo!

His voice sounded completely different from what the guy expected. He was sure that Si Hoon would talk about how he could rely on him and almost cry, but his tone was very different. It feels like something happened.

– What is it?

– He… he appeared in the Sanctuary!

– He? – Kang Woo frowned.

– Rakiel! Rakiel came alone to the Sanctuary!

Kang Woo’s eyes widened.

“What? How could Rakiel be there?”

Kang Woo dropped the call and contacted Lilith.

– Lilith!

– God, what is it, Lord?

– Where did Lucis go?!

– He sits right in front of me.

– What?. – Kang Woo’s voice trembled.

“What is it doing?”

If it’s not Lucis…

then, is this the real Rakiel?.

Kang Woo grabbed his head in shock.

“How could this happen?”

He appeared where the incarnation of Gaia is now. It wasn’t hard to guess what would happen next.

“Go crazy.”

How did he even know the location of the Sanctuary and dare to show up there? Kang Woo knew that the energy blocking his powers began to weaken, and he came to Earth, but he could not imagine that he would decide on such a reckless act.

“Now…”

Kang Woo, who was about to rush to the Sanctuary, stopped.

– Stop, – he narrowed his eyes, starting to quickly ponder what was happening.

“Something is strange.”

No matter how much Kang Woo thought, he could not understand the reasons for this behavior of Rakiel. He must know that he has come to a place full of Guardians. But… why did he come alone, without taking an army of servants with him?

This is the same place where the incarnation of Gaia is located.

“So, fuck…”

A restless thought appeared in his head and he bit his lip.

– Kang Woo, what is it? – Han Seol opened the door and entered the room.

He took her hand.

– Darling, I’ll explain later, but for now, come with me.

Now there is no time to stand and explain what is happening. Han Seol was a little surprised, but nodded, and Kang Woo headed out of the Guardian Shrine with her.

And there the whole space was already filled with Gaia’s holiness, and Si Hoon was holding the Holy Sword.

And…

– Goddess of the Earth!

An angel with black wings sat on her knees in front of her.

– I came to atone for my sins!

Rakiel lowered his head to her feet.

Kang Woo grabbed his head. The worst situation that he imagined in his head was unfolding before his eyes.

“So you… Why are you doing this? ! Damn!”

He felt like an electric shock. He turns his gaze to Rakiel.

“Atone for sins?”

Kang Woo smiled and licked his lips.
