Bloody hell, I definitely didn't want to run into that guy here.
I quickly hid behind the mountain of corpses while witnessing the waves of magical energy blowing around like violent storm winds. Not too long afterwards, I heard the voices of those hurriedly running away.
[That crazy monster….!]
[Uwaaaahk!]
The Constellations were crushed mercilessly and were killed off, leaving behind only their death throes. Fables flooded out among the bits of body parts flying about, and the blood shed by the Incarnations dyed the land crimson red.
[Run! Hurry!!]
Right behind them, the slaughterer responsible for this bloody spectacle finally arrived on the scene.
I saw the purple-coloured aura bright enough to be visible even from behind the tall mountain of corpses. All I could do was to silently watch the proceedings, unable to even breathe properly.
[The Great Fable, 'Torch that swallowed the Myth', is growling.]
[The Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', is shrinking back.]
Here came the possessor of the incredible Status that could even negatively affect my Fables.
[Fable, 'Flame that Annihilates Evil', has begun its storytelling!]
The 'Flame that Annihilates Evil' – one of the Fables that would display the greatest effect when dealing with evil-leaning Constellations. I knew the owner of this Fable really well.
「Flowing locks of platinum-blonde hair, violet-coloured eyes. The radiant wings of an Archangel spreading behind his back.」
He was the sole Archangel among
[Constellation, 'Saviour of the Corrupted', has begun its Judgement for Salvation.]
….The 'Saviour of the Corrupted', Archangel Michael, a being who possessed the same Modifier words, just like me. (TL: the Korean words for 'Saviour' and 'Salvation' is different by only one letter. Here, MC is not saying his Modifier has the word 'Saviour' in it, but the same first two letters.)
Ku-gugugugu!!
The [Sword of Saviour] held in Archangel Michael's hands split the world in half. The purple-coloured fog on the blade spread out, and this fog ignited into flames that soon started burning the atmosphere itself. The flames crossed the air in the blink and reached the Constellations trying to escape.
[Aaaahhk!!]
Five or six Constellations running away screamed at the top of their lungs and crumbled to the ground. Fables became ash within the purple-coloured flames and scattered away.
The only things remaining on the spots once occupied by the dead Constellations were 'Modifier Necklaces' gleaming in a silvery hue. Michael flew in the air and landed beside them to confirm the dropped loot.
[It's still not here.]
He seemed to be searching for something. A bizarre light shot out from his eyes as he began observing his surroundings.
[Feels like there's one more rat hidden somewhere nearby….]
Could I win if I was to fight Michael here?
I grew quite a bit stronger after learning Fable Control, but still, I wasn't confident of winning against that guy for the time being. Not only was he the strongest battle angel in
If he decided to go all out, then he'd not be in a disadvantageous position against even Poseidon who fought in 'Gigantomachia'. Even if I knew all the info on the guy through 'Ways of Survival', well….
Gu-ohhhhh!
Silvery light oozed out from Michael's two eyes. That was [Eye of the Archangel.]
One of the exclusive skills possessed by Archangels that detected the presence of 'evil'. It seemed that he could use that skill now after the Probability of the 2nd generation had been unlocked.
His eyes, burning like the ghostly flames of Dokkaebi, began scanning his surroundings. The range of his vision slowly shifted and was heading in my direction.
My heart began beating faster bit by bit.
Should I make a run for it?
It was at that moment that the pebble the villagers gave me writhed within my inner pocket.
[Fable, 'Pebble and I', has begun its storytelling.]
And something quite unexpected happened next.
[Due to the effect of the Fable, your detectable presence has become similar to that of a 'pebble'.]
[The demonic energy emitted by you has become assimilated to the surrounding nature.]
Michael scanned the mountain of corpses I was hiding behind without much of a reaction, before eventually withdrawing his vision while muttering to himself.
[Was I mistaken?]
He then complained with an unhappy-sounding voice as he rose up in the air.
[All because the Scribe issued a time-wasting order….]
His wings spread out widely and his figure disappeared into the distance in an instant. Only after his presence was completely gone did I stand up from my hiding spot, while wiping the cold sweat off my forehead.
The reflection of Kim Dok-Ja in the eyes of Asmodeus was grinning like a true Demon King at that moment.
“Are you interested in Archangel hunting?”
