Chapter 499 – A Broken Army (2)
– Are you talking about the Doomguard? – In a serious tone asked Pallock, who was called by Kang Woo, and sternly clenched his fists.
– Oh, I now have a rough idea of what happened on the Nine Thousand Circle of Hell, – Lilith, who is next to Pallock, sighed.
After Kang Woo sent Michael, Uriel and Gabriel to Shrine of the Guardians, he contacted Lilith and Pallok and ordered them to head to the Gate leading to the RNO.
– In the case of the Guardian Fate, then it means that Arakail, Nahilla and Lesion suffered at the hands of Baal? Pallock asked with a heavy voice.
When Kang Woo was in Hell, his army was divided into five units:
the first, which was led by Pallock, was called the “Destruction Squad”,
the second squad under the leadership of Arakael was called the “Suffering Squad”, the third, which was led by the Guardian of Destiny, was called the “Annihilation Squad”, the fourth squad of Nahill was the “Sorrow Squad”, and the fifth, which led by Lesion, called the “Squad of Screams.” All of them made up a powerful army with which Kang Woo participated in the war. By the way, it was not he who gave them such names, they were invented by Pallock, having felt the essence of these units.
“Pallock is thoughtful.”
Enemies may have felt fear from just the name of the unit.
“Oh, there was a time…”
Kang Woo remembered how he gave them orders and winced each the time I pronounced their names. The events of the past surfaced before our eyes, like a panorama.
– Hmm, Squad… Destruction, followed by the Squad of… Suffering. Do they have to be given such names?
– Of course!
– Why? Well, f * ck why?
– Sounds cool!
– Well…
Kang Woo shook his head, trying to get rid of the memories of the past.
– Even if you were not in Hell, they could not suppress all five units, – Pallock shook his head in confusion.

Kang Woo pressed his lips together tightly and frowned. He is right. Even if Palloka, Lilith and himself were not in Hell, his army could not lose.
– This simply cannot be, – the guy smiled bitterly, and the smile froze on his lips.
– Wait, Master… Didn’t Elias mention that Aamon is in the business of the Nine Thousand circle of Hell? Lilith asked, frowning.
Kang Woo clicked his tongue.
“As expected of Lilith.”
She noticed something he hadn’t even thought about.
– In this case…
– All, – Kang Woo cut her off.
He turned around, scratched his chin and looked at Pallock. His eyebrows were drawn down to the bridge of his nose.
– What are you talking about?. – the demon looked with surprise first at Lilith, then at the Lord.
“Let’s find the Doomguard first,” Kang Woo said, ignoring Pallock’s question, and turned around.
– Okay, – Lilith nodded slightly.
Pallock frowned in confusion, but did not interrogate anyone.
– Let’s go.
Kang Woo headed for the Gate leading to the RNO. Everything floated before my eyes and trembled as they moved in space. Arriving at the RNO, Kang Woo easily picked up Lilith, who could not rise into the air. In any other situation, she would have started flirting with him as soon as he touched her, but now she was too lost in thought.
[Power of Heaven]
Kang Woo exhaled, used one of his powers, and ascended into the sky. Pallock also spread his wings and followed.
“They said he was in the southeast.”
The gate connecting the RNO and the Earth was just not so far from the intended place. Of course, the Guardian of Doom had to move all the time to get rid of the “tail”, so no one knew the exact location.
–
But it wasn’t difficult for Kang Woo to figure out where the Doomguard was using one of his powers. He pointed in the direction with his hand and flew in the right direction, feeling the cool wind hitting his cheeks. Kang Woo flew at the speed of light, which caused a hurricane to rise behind him, demolishing everything in its path.
***
– Foo-u-uh…
Breathing lost, the steps were indistinct, everything was floating in front of my eyes, and there was absolutely no strength left.
– Guardian of Fate, now…
The remaining members of the Annihilation Squad groaned with fatigue.
– Move, – said the Guardian of Doom, turning in their direction.
He was followed by about a hundred subordinates.
– We need to get to the Lord, – he muttered through clenched teeth.
But he himself was out of order… One hand was missing, and a terrible wound ran from the chest to the lower abdomen, from which black blood was pouring. Even the horns, which reflected his demonic essence, were broken.
– Faster, move… – he repeated barely audibly and stumbled again.
The Guardian of Fate fell to his knees on the ground, which immediately turned black blood.
“Mister…” – losing consciousness, he remembered his master.
Perhaps it was a hallucination, but it seemed to him that there, in the distance, he saw him. A human figure with great speed descended to the ground.
– Guardian of Fate… – he looked down at his weakened ward.
– Master?
Kang Woo immediately bit his finger and put the bleeding finger in the demon’s mouth. He used the Power of Restoration, and the body of his charge began to regenerate. However…
– Khe-khe!
The demon coughed as if his throat had been squeezed. Kang Woo frowned. He bit the skin on another finger and blood gushed out again.
– Drink.
– Mister…
– Drink, I said.
Kang Woo forced his subordinate to drink his blood. The magicians exploded with renewed vigor and the Power of Restoration worked. Terrible wounds quickly disappeared from the Doomguard’s body, as if time had turned back.
– Khe-khe!
Although the wounds were gone, the demon continued to cough up blood.
– Master, this is… – Lilith said quietly.
– I know, – said Kang Woo, biting his lip.
With the Power of Recovery, he is able to heal only cuts, but he could not heal internal injuries. It was too late to heal Doomguard with the Power of Restoration.
– Master…
His injuries are extremely serious.
– What happened? Pallock asked bitterly, taking him by the shoulder.
One arm was chopped off and the other hung down. Kang Woo looked at the Doomguard with a calm gaze.
– You…
– Ha-ha… And yet, before I had time to lose my life… Sir, I am glad that I saw you… Because there is something that I must convey to you… -the Guardian of Destiny whispered powerlessly, smiling through the pain, and it didn’t fit his image at all.
The Doomguard was a brute demon leading the Annihilation Squad, but before Kang Woo he was becoming himself. The guy narrowed his eyes as he remembered the terrible wound running from his chest to the lower abdomen that healed after using the Power of Recovery. She looked as if he had been scratched with a huge, sharp claw. There were not many demons in Kang Woo’s memory who could leave such a wound. As a result, the possibility, which he tried with all his might to exclude, became a reality.
– This is Arakail’s fault.
Doomguard looked like he could pass out at any moment. His head shook. Pallock knelt down in front of him, as if asking for forgiveness.
– What does this mean? He asked in a trembling voice. – Isn’t Arakail… on the side of the Lord? He also led the Suffering Squad… Why… why did he attack you?!
– shouted Pallock.
He was always devoted to the Lord, and therefore it was so difficult for Pallock to understand what happened.
– Why does he attack his own…
– Pallock, that’s enough, – said Lilith with a sigh.
No emotion appeared on her face, as if she expected this to happen.
– You yourself see everything. Don’t you understand what happened? The affairs of the Nine Thousand Circle of Hell are not in charge of Baal, but Aamon. Baal did not interfere, and only a hundred demons remained alive, “Lilith said coldly.
If you believe the words of Michael, then including the Guardian of Fate, they found a defeated army of hundreds of demons. When you think about the number of demons in Kang Woo’s army, something didn’t fit. There were too few of them.
– If they didn’t leave anyone alive, it would be more convincing. Everyone would have thought that the others died earlier.
But the Guardian of Doom and his squad managed to escape.
– There are only one hundred of them left… and since only one hundred demons could not survive from the entire army, the conclusion suggests itself that it was not the enemy’s army that attacked them, – Lilith closed her eyes and finished the thought abruptly. “They were betrayed. Betrayed by their own comrades who went through the war with them.
At the end, Lilith spoke through her teeth. She knew better than anyone how carefully Kang Woo treated his subordinates, how many he had lost during the war, and what their betrayal meant to him. It’s scary even to imagine what he was going through now.
“Master…”
Lilith, lowering her head, looked at the Guardian of Doom, and then turned her gaze to Kan Woo. She wanted to approach him and console him. To say that it was not his fault, and that nothing can be done about it. However, the sadness, anger, grief, hate and regret read in his gaze did not allow her to take a step.
Stick kicked the ground… He grimaced and looked at the Doomguard.
– Is this true?
He did not answer.
– I’m asking you, is it true?! The demon growled again.
The Guardian of Fate trembled. Pallock walked over and held out his hand to him.
– Pallock, – Kang Woo caught his wrist. – Stop.
– But! ..
– Enough, I said, – the guy hissed.
Pallock shuddered and leaned back a little. Kang Woo calmly put his hand on the Doomguard’s shoulder and spoke quietly:
– You have suffered for going so far.
The demon pursed his lips and looked up at Kang Woo. A drop of black blood rolled down his chin from his mouth and fell down.
– Ha… – he chuckled. “If I only knew.” He raised his hand and grabbed Kang Woo by the wrist that was resting on his shoulder. “I… I should have come earlier. Ha ha ha…
He laughed again, and at the same time his eyes grew dim. His hand, holding Kang Woo, powerlessly fell down like a broken rope, and very soon the glint of his eyes completely faded.
– And… “Kang Woo slowly raised his head. – Haven’t seen each other for a long time.
Kang Woo looked at a hundred demons behind the Doomguard and fixed his gaze on one of them.
