There were times when a person's emotion of sheer happiness could be felt so vividly. Those moments, when one would go, oh, so you can make that sort of facial expression, too.
[Kim Dok-J!!!]
The current appearance of Uriel was just like that to me.
She extended her arms and vigorously embraced both me and Jeong Hui-Won, proceeding to rub her cheeks all over us for a long time.
In the end, Jeong Hui-Won had to scold her a little. “Uriel, I can't breathe.”
[S-sorry.]
She got flustered and backed away, but her eyes continued to sparkle. Sometimes, I found it hard to fathom how such a pure-but-dumb Archangel like her ended up with a Modifier of 'Demon-like'.
[How did you know this place? When did you get here? Ng? Did you finish the 'Kaixenix Archipelago' scenario already? I barely managed to catch a couple of scenes, because I didn't have a lot of spare time…. I'm really sorry! Y-you aren't angry because I didn't properly sponsor you, right? I-it wasn't deliberate, you know….]
It wasn't just her expression, even her voice conveyed her happiness, too.
Jeong Hui-Won and I looked at each other while listening to Uriel; she must've felt something similar to what I did, probably.
The Angel spoke without a hint of elegance nor carefully-considered pretence. Fortunately, some words conveyed a greater level of emotion when the speaker was so earnestly over the moon like this.
“Uriel, we understand. However, we should discuss the details at a later date.”
[Ng? Aht, you're right! Now isn't the time, is it?]
Uriel's gaze on me quickly shifted and landed on the army of Demon Kings glaring at us from the other side. I saw her expression cooling off in an instant, and realised that my thoughts were perhaps premature.
This Angel was, without a doubt, 'Demon-like Archangel of Flames'.
[Demon King, 'Monarch of Star and Logic', cannot understand your actions.]
And then, there were Demon Kings willing to face off against such an Archangel.
Ranked tenth in the Demon King Ranking, 'Monarch of Star and Logic' – 'Buer'.
Eighteenth in the ranking, 'Speed of Sound Demon King', 'Bathin'.
Finally, 29th in the ranking, 'Grand Duke of Dragons and Foul Odour', 'Astaroth'.
Even after excluding the 'Duke of Everywhere' who died at my hands, there were still three Demon Kings alive. Each and every one of them was not an easy opponent to fight against. Especially so, the 'Monarch of Star and Logic', and the 'Speed of Sound Demon King'.
If both of Buer's arms were still intact, or for that matter, Bathin's legs, then I'd probably have to risk my life here.
['Demon King of Salvation'!]
[What is the meaning of this?! Why are you fighting against other Demon Kings??]
I shrugged my shoulders and glibly muttered my excuse. “I simply continued on with the promotion battle, that was all.”
[Do you honestly believe that such an excuse will…..]
“Is there a rule that said the 'Demon King Promotion' battles shouldn't be fought just because the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' is underway? Such a thing happened pretty often back in the '1st Great War', too.”
[What are you….!]
Bathin became incensed by what I said and formed an expression of a creature wanting to cut my head off, but too bad, there was nothing he could do when both of his legs were gone.
[You have re-enacted a portion of the '1st Great War of Saints and Demons'!]
[Demon King 'Asmodeus' is getting interested in your unexpected actions!]
Actually, what I've done was exactly the same as what Asmodeus did back in the 1st Great War. The 'Monarch of Star and Logic' Buer's expression hardened as he threw out a question. [You think you'll be fine after doing something like this?!]
“Of course not.” I remained utterly unfazed by the Demon Kings' auras while awakening my Status. “However, I do think that you shouldn't be worried about me here.”
[You have unleashed the Demon King's Status!]
[Exclusive skill, 'Bookmark', is activating!]
[5th Bookmark has been initiated!]
[Exclusive skill, 'Lightning Transformation' Lv.23 (+13) has been initiated.]
[Your current physical constitution is different from that of the applicable character.]
[Something is writhing around in the hottest place in Hell.]
[The Calamity of Revelation that decides the end of everything has begun its quickening.]
