Episode 90: An angel that touches the heart (2)
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army, Bethel, Queen of the Dream Demons.
The referee lay down on the bed and gathered his thoughts about Bethel.
‘Bethel, a demon that walks in the spirit world and is an intangible being.’
Because it is an intangible being, it cannot be detected, and because it is an undetectable being, its name could not even be confirmed until just before the war of destruction.
‘He has the self-denial to steal someone else’s body. It is presumed that the season in which the dream demon possesses people has reached its peak.’
The name of that self-denial was clearly ‘Dream Night Talk.’ For some reason, it is a name of self-denial that seems to be used by a vampire, but surprisingly, it is used by a dream demon.
‘If the illusion of a dream demon is overstated, it would probably be to invade the dream and seduce it to take over the body.’
Entering into a dream is a homonym for entering into the mental world.
No matter how strong a being is, there is no way in the mental world that it can defeat Bethel, which belongs entirely to the mental world.
‘It’s very strong and very dangerous. If we are really careful, the professors will be in danger too.’
The army is strongest when fighting on land, and the navy is strongest when fighting at sea.
So, even for professors, it was difficult to believe that Bethel, whose home ground was the mental world, had a chance of winning the battle within the mind.
‘In the end, I have to do it.’
Okay – the referee swallowed his sleep.
And then I remembered the following information.
‘When it is necessary to exercise physical force, one steals another person’s body and uses it. Mainly stealing the bodies of strong female superhumans.’
Bethel used the stolen body to use both the body’s owner’s skills and his own unique skills at the same time.
When he succeeded in stealing the body of a woman called a hero, Bethel could not be defeated by a single professor.
‘Even if you destroy the stolen body, Bethel will not die.’
Bethel has no substance.
Therefore, the destruction of the stolen body is simply the loss of a toy, and there is no damage to one’s own body in the mental world.
‘So in the future I knew, after all.’
In the end, they were unable to attack Bethel.
How to destroy something that has no substance? The shining moonlight, the cool sea breeze, and the dancing heat of the air.
How on earth are you going to break it?
‘In the end, even during the war of destruction, we were unable to kill Bethel. There is no way to attack it since it is something that not even the professors have been able to kill.’
A question that even the referee who knows the future cannot easily answer.
How on earth should we attack Bethel?
The referee got up from the bed and scratched his head.
“Okay.”
The referee imitated Rodin’s thinking pose and continued his serious deliberation.
“Hmm.”
Concerned Angel Referee. He is clearly thinking seriously about the future of this world and his heavenly mission.
“What should I eat for breakfast tomorrow…” oh!”
The referee quickly shook his head.
Doridori-
You have the name and appearance of an angel, but you even think about breakfast during this critical time.
The referee once again compiled information about Bethel.
A spiritual being without substance.
He has the self-denial to steal someone else’s body.
The activation condition is probably to enter the dream and directly seduce the victim. When the other person gives in to the temptation.
The other person’s body is taken away.
And it has never been attacked even in the future.
“ha.”
Dang Dang Dang Gul – A referee who rolls his body around.
No matter how much I thought, I couldn’t come up with an answer.
How on earth can we defeat Bethel?
‘Why aren’t you sleeping?’
The housemate in my heart asks bluntly.
He was rubbing his eyes sleepily, and even though his face was the same as his own, it was kind of cute.
‘After falling to the ground, I developed a strange weakness that interfered with my mission.’
Referee trailed off as if he was ashamed of himself.
The referee quietly looked at the archangel.
‘what?’
The referee looked at the archangel and naturally muttered these words.
“Eureka.”
Let’s take a closer look at Lepriel.
Referee.
First of all, it is a mental being without substance.
Moreover, Lepriel is a prayer master who has reached the peak.
‘As far as I know, prayer is one of the best ways to cultivate mental strength. There are people who rise to the top position by repeatedly praying and ruling the government for several years.’
Perhaps that person developed his mental strength through prayer and trained his military power by holding on to power.
then.
What is the mental power of Lepriel, who has reached the peak of prayer and reached a singular point?
“… Referee?”
Referee tilts his head.
‘… Still, he’s an archangel, so he can beat a nightmare, right?’

He was a very unreliable referee.
But what can you do?
The only person I can trust is this angel with a blank expression.
‘And there is a saying that there is no business in Dagul.’
There is only one Bethel, but there are two referees.
If it is a collaboration between referee and referee.
“Uh, won’t it work out somehow?”
“… … ?”
The referee clenched his fist.
* * *
One day, when the afterglow of vacation has passed.
A blonde-haired boy walked down the street with a girl wearing a wizard hat.
“Referee.”
“… … .”
The girl shouts once again.
“Referee!”
“Yes? why?”
“Where on earth are you selling your mind?”
Soya grumbles.
The referee smiled awkwardly and said he was sorry.
“sorry. “I have something to think about.”
“What?”
“… “I’ll tell you later.”
Then Soya began to quietly grumble, and then turned away with a huff, as if she was blatantly annoyed.
‘Soya, I’m sorry.’
But I couldn’t tell Soya what the referee was thinking right now.
‘How does Bethel penetrate people’s hearts? Since it is probably a higher mental body, there is a high possibility that it will infiltrate in the form of memetic contamination.’
Memetic pollution refers to mental pollution spread through memes. Here, a meme refers to a self-replicating unit of information.
‘If you learn that information called a meme, you can consider that you have taken the first step of mental contamination.’
And perhaps the information about Bethel is the key meme that penetrates her mind.
Therefore, the referee could not provide information about Bethel to Soya. Because of that information, there was a possibility that Soya could suffer a mental attack.
‘But why aren’t you targeting me directly? It’s almost like I already know the core memes about Bethel.’
This was the referee’s concern.
Why on earth wouldn’t they target him right away?
‘How can I draw Bethel into my mind before any victims emerge?’
That’s when the referee’s worries deepened.
Soya opened her mouth again.
“You these days… … .”
“… … .”
“These days, I… You ignore your friend so much. know?”
“… Oh, it’s Soya. What did you say?”
The referee was unable to hear what Soya said because he was thinking about something else.
Soya pulled down her visor to hide her face.
“Why, why are you doing this? Referee, please come back in a dark horse-friendly way.”
Isn’t that what he’s whispering?
But the referee is lost in his own thoughts again.
I couldn’t look at Soya like that.
“Ugh.”
So the two returned to the cathedral.
“Soya, what’s going on?”
The first person to notice that Soya’s condition was abnormal was not the referee or even Professor Klein.
It was Professor Hexie.
“Nothing happened.”
Soya answers bluntly.
Soya quietly looked at the referee’s room without drying her wet hair.
Why on earth aren’t they drying my hair today?
That sincere touch.
A warm touch that feels like kindness.
A truly dark-hearted touch.
There wasn’t today.
Why didn’t the referee wipe Soya’s hair today? This is Soya’s hair, which she washes with great care every day to squeeze out a little more angelic power, as it is an act of receiving angelic power.
‘Bethel, Bethel.’
The reason is that the referee was summoning Bethel in his head.
Immerse yourself in Bethel so that you can summon Bethel into your mind before any other victims appear.
‘Bethel, Bethel.’
Therefore, in the referee’s mind, Bethel could be summoned at any time. And he might have been defeated for a moment and lost to Bethel.
Therefore, the referee decided to keep his distance from Soya for a while. Professor Hexi would be able to easily block his attacks, but Soya would be vulnerable to close combat.
‘It’s going to be really dangerous. ‘I have to take care of my distance from Soya.’
So the referee kept his distance from Soya.
But Soya does not know this fact.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-
Drops of water fall from Soya’s gray hair.
It was like tears flowing down my cheeks.
Hexie, who saw that, asked again without notice.
“Is everything really okay?”
“Nothing happened!”
Quang – Soya’s door was slammed shut, and Hexie, who saw it, said, ‘Be polite in front of your professor!’ He scolded me sternly.
Soya didn’t even apologize to Hexie and just crawled into bed, wiping her head with a towel.
Because if I stayed awake, I felt like tears would fall at any moment.
But the referee didn’t even know this.
‘Bethel, Queen of Dream Demons, Bethel. The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s Army. ‘Bethel.’
I never thought I would mutter this in my heart.
Of course.
Bethel is not fooled by this simple trap.
Tilong-
As Soya was trying to fall asleep, her black smartphone beeped.
Soya immediately opened her smartphone. Could it be that the message came from the boy who was his only friend? In the first place, the relationship between exchanging KakaoTalk messages with a girl… It was just the boy and Professor Klein. However, Professor Klein does not talk at these times to avoid controversy over abuse of power.
There was only that boy.
Soya smiled brightly, albeit slightly.
“Well, what is it? It’s late. fool.”
I hurriedly opened the chat box while saying the same thing.
However, the talk did not come from a boy, but from a first year student in the Department of Magic, and the content was somewhat bizarre.
===
Praise the darkness that illuminates everything.
The Demon King is the only king of the world,
I am His first apostle.
Let us praise Bethel.
He is our master.
Bethel. Bethel Bethel Bethel Bethel Bethel.
===
“What, what? Spam message… Is it the same? No, there is no way that proud magician family member would send spam emails… … .”
Soya whispers in a fearful voice.
The smartphone beeps again. This time it was from a senior in the Department of Magic.
===
Soya, I feel sorry for all this time.
It seems like he was being territorial and harassing you for no reason just because you were a senior.
Anyway, we will become one within Bethel.
Why did I bully you like that?
By the way, have you seen Bethel?
You are truly a beautiful person.
He invited you.
Bethel. Bethel Bethel Bethel Bethel Bethel
===
“It’s scary… No… … .”
Soya’s trembling voice.
However, the smartphone chatter did not stop.
“Is it mental pollution? Memetic? How many people were hit? why… … .”
Soya quickly deleted the chat.
Bethel- Bethel- Bethel-
And eventually, it was locked at the bottom of the chat… I saw a name.
“no.”
===
Soya, don’t look.
Besssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
===
“no.”
With those last words, Soya fell asleep.
Maybe into a dream from which I will never wake up again… … .
Into the dark abyss of Bethel… … .
The girl fell asleep like that.
