Episode 200: Dreaming Angel (5)
“Referee, again… … !”
A dissatisfied voice is heard.
The owner of this complaint was Soya, a girl wearing a robe with the symbol of the Magic Tower over her school uniform.
Soya roughly organized her hair and covered it with her wizard hat.
Then he roughly brushed his teeth and muttered.
“He goes away alone again, without even thinking about the people he leaves behind!”
“Hey, cow. Come out quickly. “I don’t have time.”
Hongwol waits for Soya with her tail wagging.
In Hongwol’s hand, there was a small note.
“Did you see the referee’s note?”
“uh! That’s why you’re not this angry! Just write one line! “You don’t even give me an explanation!”
There was only one sentence written on the note.
After reading it again, Hongwol folded the note neatly and put it in his pocket.
“Anyway, come out quickly.”
Then he muttered.
“This time, things won’t go as the boy, or rather the referee, wants to do.”
* * *
The referee ran.
I ran down the long, dark hallway to where Marie was likely to be.
Direction to VIP room, VIP room is on the 2nd floor, VIP room is on the right, VIP room is on the left.
And the VIP room is right in front.
“haha.”
That’s how the referee was able to arrive at the door of the VIP room.
Right in front of the room where Yumari would be waiting for the referee.
“I’m sure Marie isn’t the only one waiting for me.”
I feel even colder beings beyond the cold iron door. The boy had no choice but to slowly open the VIP room door with a bitter smile on his face.
“Sir, I was waiting.”
“As expected, you too.”
It was as the referee expected.
There were several people in the VIP room. Gori, who had taught the referee how to handle his life, was sitting on a soft leather sofa, and famous superhumans from the news were also there.
“And all these people.”
And they were all tainted by dark karma.
“You were on the devil’s side.”
“You should say that you are on the side of the new state. Or you can say that they are the people who will open the door to the new world, senior.”
Gori’s wounded hand reaches out towards the referee.
Then, a tingling sensation flowed down his arm and began to tighten the referee’s heart.
‘This kind of pressure.’
The referee took a step back and muttered.
“You, you are the last remaining Four Heavenly Kings.”
“Senior, isn’t the Four Heavenly Kings such an old-fashioned name? “Please call me the archangel’s apostle.”
After hearing those words, the referee wiped his face.
‘I had no intention of solving it by force in the first place.’
The referee was now a completely trapped rat. According to rumors, the last remaining Four Heavenly Kings were stronger than the Demon Dragon. If the rumor is true, the referee couldn’t even escape.
‘No, I had no intention of running away in the first place.’
The referee made up his mind and looked as adult as possible. Gori smiled a little as if he found the referee’s expression cute.
“Let me meet Marie.”
“sure.”
A link that clears the way.
Right in front of you, Marie will be waiting for you.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“what.”
A ring that hides itself in the dark and asks questions.
The referee answered the question with a question.
“What should I be afraid of?”
“Aren’t you afraid that your imagination will become reality?”
It’s imagination.
What is the referee imagining now?
Do you dream of Marie fully awakening, jumping into the crowd of people gathered there, killing them all, and falling into an abyss from which she can never rise again?
Do you imagine that the referee, unable to overcome the resentment and hatred in his heart, sheds bloody tears, dyes his hair black, and summons the devil to this world?
The referee was thinking about that.
“Yes, I’m afraid.”
And the referee was afraid of that future.
“Just as everyone is afraid, I am also afraid of the future.”
“But you still don’t stop walking.”
Nevertheless, the referee did not stop his steps.
“There are people who walk even though they are afraid. “You probably know people like that.”
“Then I will open the door for you.”

A hook, called a doorknob to some, opened the door for the referee. The most intimate part of the VIP room, the door to the room where a girl is sleeping on a red sofa.
“Then, seniors, have a good time.”
The door closed in front of the girl and behind the boy. There were only these two in the room.
“Is everything according to His will?”
Lifting his scarred lips, Kori hung the doorknob and locked it.
* * *
A red sofa under dark lighting.
And behind it is a black wall with a bizarre artwork depicting the gates of hell.
The referee could not help but wonder who and what kind of mind designed this room.
“It’s a design that the devil would like.”
It was not a room for a child to sleep in.
Still, Marie was sleeping very soundly.
So much so that even if someone comes, you won’t realize it, and you won’t be able to hear any sounds from outside.
“Marie, you’re very tired.”
How can I introduce this tired child to people as a warrior? And that’s in another 10 minutes.
“It must have been difficult.”
Touching – Touching – Referee stroking Marie’s hair. The smooth texture was like black silk.
I could guess what kind of dream Marie was dreaming of as she occasionally frowned and tear marks remained at the corners of her eyes. It will be a dark nightmare.
A very dark nightmare.
The referee slowly raised his gaze.
‘There’s deep, dark karma flowing out of that picture.’
As expected, this creepy room was the work of the devil. At that moment, the referee realized what the devil was aiming for.
After meeting the Demon King, the referee had a dream.
A story about a referee who was exhausted from crying and eventually fell asleep, and the darkness brought him back to his feet in the name of sleepwalking. The referee at that time said that he forgot who he was, forgot all his friends and loved ones, and only thought about revenge.
A very sad dream.
The dream was still too vivid for the referee.
‘Marie must be having that dream too.’
And soon, after gaining sleepwalking ability, I will wake up again from my sleep. And what happened next wasn’t hard to imagine.
‘Revenge will begin. Revenge on Seocheon Confucianism, revenge on those who pretended not to see them, revenge on the public who created this world.’
And Marie will despair.
Marie was so kind that she left this world right before she fell to avoid harming people, so there was no way she could have endured such a dream.
That’s how Marie will have eternal nightmares.
“It reminds me of the day you ran away from the Mariana base.”
Before becoming a referee, the referee saw that on TV and resented Marie a lot. Even after he became a referee, he treated Marie harshly.
It was soon resolved, though.
“I didn’t even know how you felt.”
Now I know.
This is how Marie ran away.
“But now I know.”
The referee slowly caressed Marie’s cheek.
It was soft and warm. Just like back then.
‘Angel, I barely fell asleep.’
A mother was holding a child. Her child cried and whined bitterly, as if he had had a nightmare, but felt his mother’s touch and fell asleep again.
The referee was watching the sleeping child closely.
‘Look at this. Doesn’t a sleeping child really look like an angel? Ah, wasn’t that something to say in front of a real angel?’
Seeing the child’s mother smiling mischievously, the referee was able to smile for the first time in his life. That’s because this child was much more angelic than herself, who had erased countless lives through the flow of karma.
The referee could only nod without saying anything.
“that’s right.”
The referee said while stroking Yumari’s cheek. A single tear was still falling down my cheek.
“I’ve never seen a child as angelic as you.”
The referee hugged the crying child tightly to comfort him. She said that although he was a bigger child than the referee, he was big enough to hold her.
‘Would you like to give me a hug?’
‘When comforting a child, you can support the child’s head with your hands and hug the child with the feeling that you love this child so much.’
Such a lovely child.
Warmth welled up in the referee’s heart and tears came to his eyes.
‘Saving a child through your sacrifice is not salvation either. In a few months, the Seocheon Confucian family will take the child away. Do you believe in the family of the previous warrior who deserves to be judged?’
‘It will be used as a test subject. It will be used as a toy, a pet, and a tool to be sold to those who have a grudge against the dragons. They would do that. Even if you survive through such darkness, all that remains is a world entering the end times. It is a hell where there is nothing but despair.’
At that time, what answer did Remari give?
The referee gave an unbelievable answer.
‘… I believe it.’
‘What?’
‘This child will definitely be happy. ‘He’ll say he’s happy to be alive.’
Remari in memory and the referee in reality open their mouths together.
“I believe so.”
Yes, the referee believed so.
No, the referee could now be trusted.
“Yes, I believe that now too. because… … .”
Marie will be happy now. There will no longer be adults who bully you, and you will no longer experience sad events that you don’t know if are real or a dream.
The child will no longer have nightmares.
The referee believed that and was able to confidently say this.
“Because I’m going to make it happen. I’m your… … .”
The referee hugged Yumari as if comforting a crying child.
“Because I’m a guardian angel… … .”
And the referee became dark.
In other words, a being called the Demon King.
Yes. It is said that there is a being called the Demon King in this world. It was also said that the Demon King is the pinnacle of dark karma and can use all the darkness in the world as his power.
So the referee was able to absorb the girl’s darkness.
The referee suppressed drowsiness as he felt the loneliness and sadness that could be compared to, or even surpass, fill him, a pain that should not be called just resentment.
So, I slowly looked at Marie.
Is it because the pain has subsided or because the nightmare is over that the frowning brows straighten and the eyes soften?
But the tears didn’t stop.
The eyes slowly open, filled with moisture.
“Re, free.”
However, even at that moment, the referee did not stop absorbing Marie’s karma. The referee’s hair suddenly turned black, almost like jet black.
Marie trailed off when she saw the referee.
Is this, too, part of an unending nightmare?
But even though she couldn’t explain it in words, Marie was sure that this wasn’t the case.
Because the referee’s light was wrapping around him warmly.
“Referee, how are we… … .”
“Marie.”
The referee hands over the last remaining angel power to the child he wants to protect, whose sleeping appearance was so angelic.
“You must be happy.”
“Referee, referee… … .”
“Definitely.”
Light and darkness cannot mix. There is no way for the referee, who is like the devil, or rather the devil himself, and Marie, who has accepted the karma of light and become a hero, to be together.
The referee sent Marie away like that.
“I’m sleepy.”
The child then climbed onto the sofa and lay down in front of the picture of the gates of hell. The loneliness that no one could escape became his eyelids, and the child’s eyes slowly closed.
And the child fell asleep.
