An Angel Lives in the Academy

Episode 208: Angels Spreading Wings (3)

The angel with his wings spread out looked at the world.

The world was still dark, and the light only flickered in the distance.

The city was literally falling into hell, and it seemed that no god could save them.

Sinners who fell into the abyss flocked to the city to seek life, and people fled to the center of the city in search of a higher place to escape them.

But even in that situation.

But people saved the baby.

People carried babies to higher places in the city by hand and hand. As if doing so could save the baby.

As if doing so could make a baby escape from this abyss.

They will know.

You can’t save the baby.

That’s right, it’s all about making a child live a few more seconds.

So that was a pointless action.

It was an act against the truth that beings who fell into the abyss could not be saved, and it was an act against the truth that no one could be saved by their weak strength.

But the angel with his wings spread understood why people do this.

Only now have I realized

Now the angel knew why he had met the girls who would become warriors and joined them. Now the boy knew why he had not taken revenge on the world even though he had gained power. Now the referee understands why he does not give up and fights against the darkness in such a dark world.

Because the referee had faith.

As if there were always wings behind the referee’s back.

But only if you have faith that you can fly will you be able to spread your wings.

Fluttering – Carefully, but without hesitation, the white flapping of its wings.

So, the referee freely went up to the sky as if nothing was wrong with the bondage of the abyss.

So people could see the angels.

The angel, who fits the term “beautiful boy” so well, was smiling. The angel had bright hair reminiscent of dawn, and there were still tears in his eyes that could not be erased.

People saw the angel and prayed.

“Angel, please, even this child… … .”

“please… Have mercy on this child… … .”

And there was an angel in heaven who heard people’s prayers. Hearing that prayer, the angel closed his eyes and offered a prayer with all his heart.

“Please save those people.”

And Keter was activated.

A prayer that hears prayer.

A dramatic technique of prayer used by the Archangel Lepriel in the old days.

The light helped the prayer, and even the darkness moved to fulfill the prayer. Both types of karma gathered at the referee’s prayer.

The city, which had fallen into the abyss, began to rise to the surface again.

An angel descending into the rising city.

The angel slowly but naturally folded his wings and descended in front of the girl he wanted to protect.

“The referee.”

The girl smiled and hugged the boy.

“This is too much. arm… … .”

Marie could see the referee holding back her tears. It’s like the way he gives strength to his eyes and caresses his lost arm, not knowing what to do with it.

Marie didn’t feel any pain just by looking at it.

And without a sound, Marie’s arm had returned to its original state.

“Mary.”

“The referee.”

“Why did you save that child?”

“Then why did the referee save me as a baby?”

A boy and a girl looked at each other and smiled.

Because it was a question that didn’t need an answer.

really didn’t know In such a dark world, it was clear that the child would see a lot of sad things and go through a lot of hard times.

The child must have had a nightmare and could not cry.

However.

“Someone obviously… … .”

As if the referee comforted Marie, who had a nightmare alone in the red room with the gates of hell drawn in it.

Just as Marie comforted the referee who had a nightmare alone under the darkened sky.

“Someday, someone will surely wipe away the children’s tears.”

The referee’s wings began to unfold again. The wings of an angel that spread only through faith. This wing was emitting a bright light that people could see and feel even though it absorbed the darkness that was thickly covering the world.

People can see and feel it.

This light was not the light of karma.

Clearly, the truth was pointing in the direction of darkness. It is impossible to go back to where all the sorrow and despair were gone.

It was true that this world was dark.

But beliefs sometimes outweigh the truth

People called such a belief a miracle.

And now, the miracle of the rising of a city that had disappeared into the abyss was taking place.

* * *

“It can’t be.”

How many times have you said this yourself? The Demon King was so surprised that he didn’t even realize that. How can a city that has been dropped into the abyss be able to stand on the ground again?

From NovelNext.com

No one would escape from the abyss if it were not for an angel with spread wings. That is the truth and the truth.

“People’s prayers have been fulfilled.”

a voice similar to yours. However, a slightly brighter voice answered the question in the demon king’s head.

“You can’t create a miracle like this by praying alone.”

It was natural.

If prayer makes impossible things possible, who wouldn’t believe in heaven? But the sky is silent and the light is empty.

There was no power in prayer. The truth proved by the tears shed in countless days. This will never go wrong.

“Yeah, that would be the truth.”

A familiar voice confirmed that.

But the voice did not stop.

“But the world is not made of truth alone.”

And the Demon King is now starting to realize who the owner of that voice is.

“Look at the world. There is nothing absolute or infinite in this world. Karma is just karma, and compared to the real world, it’s just a dusty force.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You know it too.”

And the demon king could see the angel with his wings spread out.

“The truth is only the truth.”

‘Bright,’ thought the Demon King. Even though there was no such thing as light in the overflowing darkness and the darkness that covered the world, the referee’s wings were bright.

“The world is not made solely of truth, and people do not live solely through truth.”

“why? Why could that be?”

The referee smiled.

“Because people have faith.”

“Then I will kill all those who hold such beliefs.”

The Demon King gathered his powers again. He summoned the absolute loneliness that suppressed Rusa, suffered a deep internal wound, and concentrated the magical energy that was extinguished by the masal.

Clearly, this was a decision that cuts the odds.

But now, the Demon King had to deny the referee.

“What is faith? What does it mean to believe in a good outcome while denying even the truth that lies before your eyes?”

The Demon King saw his people who had long disappeared.

The people who looked at themselves who lost their wings with sad eyes.

A foolish race who believed in humans even in the face of the truth that humans darken the world and eventually destroy it.

“Look at Karma! I mean, humans made the world this way. I didn’t taint it! How can you trust these people?”

And the very precious brothers who stopped him. The demon king saw the past of the destruction of the heavens that he could never forget.

“With the truth of destruction in front of your eyes, how on earth can you believe? Can you believe that people won’t destroy this world? People who did that to you?”

And the Demon King shouted.

“Why don’t you follow me, referee?”

And the Demon King reached out to the referee.

“Think of what you’re going through, huh?”

“Yeah, that was really painful. I will never forget that night until I die.”

“Then why are you denying this truth and this truth?”

“I am not denying the truth. The world is dark enough that one thinks it deserves destruction.”

“Then why, why? why!”

“Demon Lord, you still don’t know.”

Seeing the demon king reaching out to him, the referee smiled broadly.

“Faith needs no reason.”

And the referee’s white wings that spread out again, the warm light shining from those wings, melted the false black wings of the Demon King.

“Like prayer needs no possibility.”

“What a stupid thing to say… … . You’re an idiot, referee! I became an idiot… … !”

The Demon King, unable to correct his voice, had no choice but to express his emotions. Sadness, despair and hatred.

Dark emotions were evident everywhere in his voice and expression. The dark karma, which began to sympathize with the Demon King’s feelings, began to fluctuate violently to a level he had never seen before.

The fluctuations were so intense that they cracked reality. And even from that gap, an incredibly dark karma flowed out.

Anyone other than the referee will know.

That this is how the Demon King became one with his true power, the karma of darkness.

The Demon King murmured as if he had become a doll without showing any emotions.

“I will fix it.”

“Do it if you can.”

said the referee.

“I will never give up this belief.”

* * *

A wizard’s hat with a large brim, the girl who was scratching under that hat muttered ‘Finally’.

“Finally awake.”

“Ugh, Soya, the referee… … .”

Soya wipes her tears with her sleeve and reaches out to the girl with pink hair floating in the shallow sea. The girl felt her body wet and muttered:

“Bite, I hate it… … .”

“I’ll dry you. Come on, get up quickly!”

“Ugh, damn it. Do you have a sting like this at someone who was even hit with a knife?”

“I have.”

“… Guess who’s not a warlock.”

Hearing the complaint, Soya snores.

“Heh, I’m not ashamed of being a warlock at all, am I? Still, it would be nice if you could be a little more careful with such black-horror expressions.”

“Look at the bullshit you say you’re busy.”

When Hong-wol got up, Soya dried out all of Hong-wol’s water with a single flick of her hand.

“How did you heal the ship?”

“Healed with the potion the Rainmaker gave you.”

“Rainmaker? That’s another yangban.”

“The best alchemy in the human world… No, there is.”

There was something the girls couldn’t see but heard. It was the sound of a dimensional collapse with karma powerful enough to make him doubt his senses.

“Hey, is that real?”

“Uh, um. I didn’t expect it to be like this, no, it’s just what I expected. eww.”

Soya unconsciously lowers her visor to hide her frightened face. Hong-wol wrapped her arms around Soya’s shoulder without saying a word.

“Why would the Demon King reveal his power?”

“Of course, ah!”

Then, suddenly, Soya’s trembling began to subside.

“The referee has finally woken up!”

“Yes, the referee is up.”

And Hong-wol caressed Soya’s shoulder and murmured.

“With the referee, we never lose.”

“… okay.”

Soya gently raised her visor.

If I could describe that expression in one word, it could be said that it was a confident expression.

“I believe that too.”
