Episode 976
Gooooo!
Raphael’s neck, which had been torn off from his body, moved on its own. His distorted blue eyes bent toward Raon.
“You… .”
Raphael’s eyes were boiling like lava. Both shock and confusion were reflected in them.
“I told you, pigeons don’t know the meaning of the phoenix.”
Raon laughed, ignoring the murderous intent that Raphael was causing.
‘I don’t know about other guys, but there is no reason to hide your power from the Celestials.’
The one who called Raphael was Delus Robert. It was obvious that he would have told him about himself, so there was no need to hide the power of Ras.
‘That’s a shame.’
It would have been better if that was the main body.
That Raphael was a clone, so even though his head was cut off, he seemed fine.
If it had been the main body, it could have caused a great shock even if it didn’t kill it, so it was a shame that it didn’t achieve that.
“How dare you, human!”
Raphael let out a throat-rending scream. Her murderous intent towards Raon spread throughout the entire Balkar Kingdom.
Paaaaaaaah!
As malice blossomed from Raphael, a faint light began to return to the eyes of those who had been bewitched by her.
“uh…?”
“That, that’s an angel?”
“It seems like your temperament has completely changed?”
“Not an angel, but a devil…”
Those who had been praying faithfully swallowed dry saliva as they looked at the changed Raphael.
“under?”
Olga looked at Raphael, more surprised than anyone else, and bit her lip until it bled.
“I told you to leave me alone, but I guess it’s right to step on a naughty bug.”
The scale staff that Raphael was holding began to flash with a golden light and generate great divine power.
The light was so bright that it was difficult to open my eyes properly.
Wooooow!
The light that rose from the tip of the staff reached the sky and fell as golden lightning.
“eww….”
The speed at which the thunder fell was much faster than expected. As I tried to bend my knees to avoid it, someone stepped forward.
“How dare you….”
It was Glenn. He had not moved even when he had touched thousands, no, tens of thousands of people, but as soon as Raon was in danger, he uncrossed his arms and raised his hand.
“Who are you messing with?”
Glenn raised his fingertips without even drawing his Jincheon Sword and called down a red lightning bolt.
Kwarrrrrrung!
The red lightning that poured out with his great anger tore apart the golden lightning that Raphael had called down.
Phew! Phew!
The thunderbolt that Glenn caused not only erased Raphael’s lightning, but also burned the remaining body of hers.
“You, it’s you… .”
Raphael let out a gasp of disbelief.
“A man born as a human who looks up at the sky.”
Raon moved his fingertips as she chewed her lips while looking at Glenn.
Paaaaaaa!
The wooden wheel sword that was shot with the Void Arrow fell with the same lightning energy as Glenn.
Phew!
Raphael’s head, pierced by the wheel sword, began to turn to black ash and disintegrate.
“you….”
“Only after enduring countless hardships, being exhausted by cold and heat, and sometimes not being able to sleep because of nightmares, are we truly human.”
Raon lifted his chin as he watched Raphael disintegrate into black dust.
“… So, human. That’s a good word.”
Raphael seemed to think it was over already, and instead of showing his anger like before, he slightly lowered his one remaining eye.
“But the time given to you is short. If you want to be saved, wait for me. Wait for heaven.”
Her last voice spread throughout the kingdom of Balkar, carrying with it the same warmth as when she first descended.
Phew.
Finally, Raphael’s right eye, which was the last remaining, turned to dust and scattered, and her clone completely disappeared.
“Phew… .”
Raon chewed his lip as he looked at the sky slowly darkening.
‘You know you can’t win now, so are you trying to fool people?’
She was a woman of great courage, worthy of the rank of Archangel, who tried to achieve her purpose of coming here even while being attacked by herself and Glenn and having her clone erased.
-Didn’t the King say it! He is the best when it comes to darkness!
Ras looked at Raphael as if he was annoyed and ground his teeth.
-Still, it’s fortunate that you were able to cut it down. If you hadn’t moved, all the humans here would have ended up in that woman’s arms!
The guy patted his shoulder as if he had done well. He was a guy who never praised others, but it seemed like he couldn’t stand it when it came to the work of the Celestials.
“Is this correct?”
“Oh, to cut down the archangel….”
“Are you going to kill angels now? Well, it’s the swordsmanship… ”
Raphael’s charm seemed to vary depending on the human’s powerlessness. The strong had already come to their senses and shook their heads while looking at Raon.

“Hey, if you kill an angel, aren’t you a devil…?”
“Actually, his personality is already evil. Maybe we should just take it for granted.”
Dorian and Crane also came to their senses and laughed among themselves.
“That’s right. Our Jeonju is closer to the devil than to an angel.”
Burren gave a thin smile as he agreed.
“Apart from being an angel or a demon, he’s just a crazy guy. How did he even think of cutting that?”
Martha was still baffled and kept muttering.
“Today was great.”
Runaan simply gave it a thumbs up, saying it was great.
“Whew, I feel tired?”
“Yeah. Was that angel right?”
“I don’t know. When I was hit by the Gwangpungjeonju, I felt like a demon….”
The leaders of the forces following the Emperor also seemed to have awakened from Raphael’s charm and swallowed dry saliva as they conversed with each other.
“Raon! Good job!”
Ogram said, slapping his shoulder with his large hand.
“How did you cut through that shield? It’s clear that the power itself wasn’t much different from mine!”
He nodded, saying it was interesting.
“It seemed like there was something special about the sword fight.”
King Recross also approached with his eyes wide open in surprise.
“My child is just not able to understand with common sense!”
Chambers waved his hand, telling him not to ask such questions and to just accept it.
“Our child?”
Glenn frowned as he looked at the chamber.
“I can’t accept that statement!”
He glared at the chamber, his voice rarely raised.
“No, why are you angry…?”
Chambers took a step back in confusion.
“… … .”
Larian was looking up at the sky with sparkling eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
“hmm….”
Raon turned his gaze away from the Emperor and looked at the leaders of the neutral forces who had not yet decided on a path.
They still had dazed eyes, as if they hadn’t completely escaped Raphael’s fascination.
‘This is not good.’
Her charm wasn’t completely swayed by Raphael’s revelation of his true nature, but it wasn’t completely unaffected.
‘If this is how it is for the unmanned people, it must be even worse for the ordinary citizens of Balkar.’
I thought that I could easily borrow the strength of the remaining neutral forces through the Five Emperors’ Conference, but it seemed that Delus had no intention of just letting it happen.
‘Didn’t you say we don’t have much time left?’
Raon licked his lips as he looked at the sky that had darkened again after Raphael disappeared.
‘Then I guess I’ll have to move faster.’
-Yes. Tear off all the wings of the Celestials!
Lars nodded, saying that he had thought about it well.
‘So what I’m saying is… .’
Raon nodded his head, tapping Lass.
‘Is there anything like the Demon King’s song?’
* * *
A dark space with warm, scattered grains of light.
Phew!
A red line was drawn across Raphael’s neck, and blood flowed down, red enough to look divine.
“under….”
She wiped the blood away with her fingers and laughed in disbelief.
“You brought the wounds you received from the clone back to the main body?”
Raphael looked at the blood on his fingertips with trembling eyes, saying he couldn’t believe it.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
The man who had been lying on the black sofa raised his head. Derus Robert. He curled his lips with a slightly pale face.
“Laon Sieghart is a special being, more special than the Celestials or the Demons.”
Derus took off his black leather gloves. A thick stream of blood flowed from the gaping wound on the back of his hand.
“This wound that even you, the guardian archangel, could not heal was also left by him.”
Derus’s pupils narrowed as if he was excited by the pain coming from his wound.
“Why don’t you kill that human? If he has that ability, wouldn’t it be better to deal with him quickly?”
Raphael narrowed his eyes.
“Because there are many corners that can be used.”
“Any corner available?”
She tilted her head as if to ask what I meant.
“Laon will be a great help in our final war.”
Derus lightly wiggled his fingers, saying that he would find out when he reached the end.
“… … .”
Raphael crossed his arms with a look of displeasure.
“That’s enough about Laon. What do you think? The bugs follow you?”
Derus shrugged his shoulders as if to say that his trip to Balkar had gone well.
“I couldn’t completely accomplish it because the human you told me not to kill got in the way.”
Raphael shook his head slowly.
“But my voice and divine power remained in the minds and bodies of humans. Even if it is not to the extent you wished, it will have a great influence.”
She nodded, saying that there must be many people who are suspicious of the same human being.
“also….”
Derus clapped his hands lightly, saying that he believed.
“It was a good thing I brought you back later.”
He laughed and said it was worth the effort.
“If we look at the overall strength, we are still at a disadvantage. The five emperors won’t leave their injuries unattended.”
Delus frowned, thinking that the moment the Five Emperors’ leaders recovered, the current balance would also be broken.
“That’s why your role is important. I hope you will continue to attract bugs to this side.”
“…human being.”
Raphael lowered his curving gaze toward Delus. An eerie aura bloomed above her blue eyes.
“Watch your words. I’m not your subordinate. I’m just…”
“The path is the same? I know very well, Archangel.”
Derus bowed slightly to Raphael, saying that he knew it well. He slowly got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
“Let’s rest for a while. Let those wounds heal.”
Delus waved his hand gently and disappeared into the dark room.
“Laon Sieghart… .”
Raphael bit his lip, holding his still-bleeding neck.
* * *
The next day.
Raon entered the Balkar conference hall again and guarded Glenn.
Originally, the festival should have continued, but due to Raphael’s sudden appearance, only the heads of the Five Emperors held an emergency meeting.
“What the hell archangel keeps coming down!”
Ogram slammed his fist on the round table as if he was annoyed.
“Archangel is the highest level of transcendence, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that Derus has two Emperors.”
King Recross let out a long sigh, saying that the situation was not good.
“No.”
Chambers shook his head as he opened the bag of candy.
“Actually, it might not be the second one. It might be hiding another archangel.”
She put a candy in her mouth, saying that it was not good to think about making a decision.
“Well, that’s right… .”
King Recross lowered his eyebrows, saying that he had made a mistake.
“Good, it wasn’t the time for a festival.”
Xanthos frowned as he said that the situation had changed in just one day.
“Yeah. You shouldn’t have been so happy about catching the Black Tower. You should have moved a little faster.”
Chambers sighed as if he also regretted it.
“It’s ridiculous that it wasn’t even the main body, but a clone.”
She ground her teeth, asking where such a damn ability came from.
“If this is the case, I guess the situation is not good.”
King Recross chewed his lip, saying that Sima’s power seemed stronger.
“Still, if we regain our strength, we will be able to win.”
Ogram clenched his fists, thinking that if he, Recross, and Chamber returned to their original states, they would be able to win the war.
“That’s true. But….”
Chambers narrowed his eyes at the corner of the round table.
“Why is one of the normal things so quiet? It was still there yesterday too?”
Chamber looked at Larian, who was wearing a robe and muttering something unintelligible to herself.
“… Aren’t you nervous?”
Larian slowly raised her head. An unknown formula appeared above her eyes, which had been filled with shame and annoyance.
“It’s a celestial. And it’s an archangel from legend! Its clone and protective abilities alone are astonishing, but what else could it be hiding?”
Larian twisted her lips, covering her flushed cheeks as if she was very curious.
“I want to dissect that pure white body. I’ll cut it little by little with a dagger and drain its divine power. It’s a being rarer than a demon.”
She kept spouting out such creepy words that it was hard to tell what her true nature was.
“It’s out. The true nature of that corner magician is….”
Chamber shook his head, saying it was not good.
“Hey. You, get well soon.”
She made a slight gesture to King Recross.
“Yes. It won’t take me that long.”
King Recross nodded, saying that he had not only done nothing, but had also driven away most of the aura of death.
“What about the people who saw Raphael?”
Glenn turned his gaze to Xanthos.
“For now, all Grand Master level players have recovered.”
Xanthos nodded, saying that all the Grand Masters had escaped Raphael’s charm.
“However, the ones below that level still seem to have Raphael’s words ingrained in their minds. It doesn’t seem to be a simple charm spell.”
He shook his head, saying that the weaker one’s strength, the stronger the power of charm.
“I guess I’ll have to deal with that first.”
Glenn frowned, saying that if he couldn’t erase the burns Raphael left behind, there was no reason for them to be gathered here.
“That’s true.”
Chambers bit his lip, saying he couldn’t let it out of the capital until it was erased.
“It’s hard enough just to find Sama, but it seems like a waste of time.”
She shook her head, saying she didn’t like it.
“There is a way to quickly get people out of Raphael’s spell.”
Raon stood in front of the round table, saying that that was also a quick way.
“And there is a way to find Sima. Of course, it is not perfect.”
“Is there a way to erase Raphael’s aura?”
“Finding Sama too?”
“Really?”
The five emperors’ leaders opened their eyes wide at the same time.
“Yes. First of all… .”
Raon looked at the leaders of the Five Emperors at the round table with a chilling gaze.
“Let’s start by poking at the lizard nest.”
