History of the Greatest Estate Design - Episode 317

317fury. angel descent (2)

‘Is that the high-ranking angel I've only heard about?.’

Whiiing.

the wind blew.

Dam construction site north of Yeongji.

Solitas, the young red dragon, was immersed in agony as the dry wind blew from there..

‘It's a big deal..’

Suddenly, the events from a little while ago came to mind..

I was having the same day as usual..

I sweated a lot in the workshop of my teacher, the dwarf Corgidus..

They were processing precious deer antlers..

Trying to make a complicated design after a long time.

Making star-shaped decorations.

I was concentrating all my attention.

Meanwhile, I suddenly felt it..

‘A sacred yet daunting storm of mana. A clear and unstoppable dawn that seems to purify everything. It was the first time I felt that kind of energy on my skin..’

It was definitely out of the ordinary..

I suddenly lost my concentration..

I also ruined the deer antler star decoration that was about to be completed..

But there was no time to feel sorry..

I jumped up.

I ran out of the workshop..

I could hear Master Corgidus calling out from behind, but.

I thought now was not the time to worry about trivial matters..

And it flew all the way to this place, where the dam construction site can be seen..

Thanks to this, he became immersed in worry..

‘I couldn't believe it because I could feel the very auspicious energy of Mana. Who would have thought that it was truly a situation where a high-ranking angel had descended?.’

top angel.

The young dragon was also something he had only heard of..

However, one thing was certain.

‘You'll be stronger than me?’

I remembered the teachings I received from my mother when I was a young hatchling..

‘Did you say angels are strong? You said it was a particularly difficult opponent because it was so difficult to hit. So, you said that an ordinary dragon would only be able to fight on equal footing with three low-level angels or one mid-level angel..’

But today, the angel who descended on this territory seemed much stronger than that..

The evidence was the two blazing flame rings rotating behind the back..

‘I remember that. He taught me that it is a sign that only high-ranking angels have..’

So, the being who descended there is a high-ranking angel..

No matter how hard you try, this is an opponent you will never be able to defeat..

But that angel’s spirit is unusual..

That's the problem.

‘Although it is sacred, the hostile atmosphere is clearly felt. Could it be that Lloyd Frontera has some business to attend? Because he froze time in the rest of the world outside of this territory? Maybe that's why. So what happens now? I'm sure this territory won't be completely destroyed.?’

I had a million anxious thoughts..

Just in case.

If that high-ranking angel sends down heavenly punishment and punishes this territory,?

So if this place turns to ashes?

‘That's not allowed!’

Solitas shook his head unconsciously..

‘I haven't learned all the jewelry processing techniques from Corgidus yet. But what if this territory is destroyed? Then there will be no more sludge accumulating in the sewers, my job to dispose of it will disappear, and in return, I will no longer be able to learn gem processing.?’

Pessimistic imagination continued to unfold..

‘Then I won't be able to escape like this. You won't be able to process jewelry properly. You won't be able to store gems in your nest. Since I don't have any jewelry to feed my future child, I won't be able to propose to anyone..’

In this way, I will never be able to escape from being single for the rest of my life..

‘……Absolutely not!’

A feeling of desperation surged up..

Solitas has decided.

‘I'm watching the situation from here. Then, if that human being, Lloyd, is attacked, then I too will join the fight. I have to protect this territory.’

For his long-awaited marriage.

Even if the opponent is a high-ranking angel.

I will fight bravely and proudly..

Well, since there's Javiel and Bone Dragon, it'll be worth fighting somehow..

Just like that, it was the time when the young red dragon was reflecting on his fierce determination..

Out of nowhere.

right next to you.

A languid yet leisurely voice pierced my ears..

“Hey, you? You don't get involved with an angel carelessly.?”

“……Hut?”

Solitas was horrified..

It was a voice that came so suddenly..

There is someone who approached me before I even realized it..

Solitas was shocked and looked back at the speed of light..

“Who are you?!”

“uh. dragon king.”

“…….”

young red dragon discovered.

A hunched posture, half-heartedly sitting on the grass.

I'm feeling sleepy, but my eyes are reluctantly half-open.

Even the insincere voice that seems like it’s bothersome to mix words..

There was a man there who wondered if such an atmosphere would be engraved if he roughly shaped the word 'nompangi' with hand gestures mixed with laziness..

But Solitas did not let down his guard..

I couldn't be fooled by the other person's appearance or mood..

Anyway, he came to me without me even realizing it..

What abilities do you have?.

I couldn't judge it hastily..

He asked in a more solemn voice..

“I asked who you were.”

coooooo……!

With the question, the dragon's innate sense of intimidation weighed down all directions..

However, the man sitting lazily only yawned insincerely..

“Hmm. I told you. dragon king.”

“dragon king?”

“uh.”

“You are the great and holy Berkis? Like you?”

“That's up to you to find out. Anyway, you're not getting involved with an angel carelessly, are you? If you do that, Yongsaeng will get tired..”

“……what?”

Solitas paused..

Berkis smiled an unexpected smile..

“The Satans of hell would rather pretend to obey when you show them overwhelming power. But angels are different. Because they are all extremely stubborn people. If I don't agree, I rarely change my decision. Is it like an inflexible iron rice bowl?.”

“what is that…….”

“But such an angel, a high-ranking angel at that, descended to earth so openly. What does that mean? He means that something has been decided and he is here to execute it. So don't get involved in this, kid. Even if you intervene, you won't be able to break the angel's stubbornness with your abilities. I'm just getting tired of being picked on by high-ranking people in the world for no reason..”

“Does not matter. But it's a kid. Who are you that dare call me that?.”

“I told you. twice.”

“Dragon King? You are the holy and great Berkis.?”

“uh.”

“dare! Do you think you can get away with impersonating him??”

“Ah, it's annoying. Should I just kill him?.”

Berkis's face clearly showed his laziness..

It was troublesome to explain or persuade..

I just flicked my fingers..

Just!

A wave of mana bloomed from my fingertips..

Solitas' whole body was wrapped around in an instant..

“……uh?”

The moment the young dragon opens his eyes wide in surprise.

a change has occurred.

puff!

The rising smoke covered Solitas..

Eventually, when the smoke subsided,.

There were no Solitas there..

Instead, only one small red lizard remained..

“It's a punishment. Just do it for a day.”

“……!”

“Now you will believe me?”

“……!”

“huh. That's nice. But even if I nod, it’s too late?”

“…….”

“How nice it is to be so calm. It just reminds me of Salamander. It looks similar, it looks similar. The Deodeok that our little boy took with him while traveling..”

“…….”

“Anyway, I now have to follow the terms of my Dragon King sponsorship membership. If the sponsor dies, an extra life is provided. That's why it's annoying, but that's why I came out here and did this. So let's be quiet?”

“……!”

Solitas, who had suddenly become a lizard, nodded his head desperately..

And I was inwardly shocked.

What Berkis just said.

It was because I realized the complex meaning contained in those words..

‘……wait for a sec.’

Goosebumps rising with awe.

Solitas swallowed dry saliva and looked around the dam construction site..

‘Sponsored? A being supported by the Dragon King? Could it be Lloyd Frontera? But today… … That guy is going to die?’

♣

‘just… … Should I kill him?.’

3rd grade left angel of heaven.

Summer Inspection Director Raphael thought for a moment without realizing it..

It had to be that way..

It was because of Lloyd in front of me..

‘This man is praying false prayers. But his attitude is very satanic..’

No, maybe it's worse than Satan..

As a higher angel he could feel.

Lloyd's prayer now on his knees.

There was no clean and pure heart in that prayer..

Instead, I felt only a personal sincerity aimed at gaining immediate benefits..

It was even shameless..

“So now the complaint has been officially filed.?”

“…….”

The eyes and smile of Lloyd Frontera looking up as if he was kneeling in prayer..

It felt abominable..

Raphael clenched his fists without realizing it..

‘dare. How can you use prayer like this?.’

I didn't like it.

It was because this was not a prayer made for this purpose..

‘Prayer is the last desperate means by which beings from the lower world can ask for help from the heavenly world. When you can't get help from anyone in the underworld. When you can't rely on anyone in this world. When you are completely alone. At times like that, the last thing that made me lean on the sky was prayer..’

When you have such a longing heart.

Heaven finally listens to prayers.

Sincere and heartfelt prayers become complaints and are received by angels..

The angels then review and process the prayer complaint..

‘Most such prayer complaints are not approved. It is such a pure and earnest prayer. Even though the results may not be visible in the present life, they will definitely come true in the next life or even after death. That is why true prayer is so precious and precious. But… … How can you use such a prayer like this?.’

Raphael was outraged..

In my heart, I didn't want to file a complaint about that prayer..

But I couldn't help it.

“……great. I accept your sincerity.”

Civil complaints through prayer.

The standard for accepting it was whether the prayer was sincere..

However, in the prayer that Lloyd just explicitly posted,?

It was ironic, but it was full of sincerity.!

‘Even if it is not from a clean and pure heart, even if it comes from personal desires... … First of all, sincerity is sincerity.’

A sincere, personal desire.

It felt even more disgusting and disgusting..

A faint light of contempt appeared in the left angel's eyes as he looked down at Lloyd..

“So, are you applying for cancellation of the demolition of the Jewel of Truth??”

“Yep, that's it.”

Lloyd quickly nodded..

I clenched my fists inside..

‘done. It's success.’

It was a prayer operation I tried just in case..

I was briefly using the contents of the notice read by the left angel earlier..

It worked..

So now is the time to hammer in the nail..

Lloyd looked up at the left angel and said.

“We file a formal complaint. Please cancel the order to demolish the Jewel of Truth..”

“Is there a basis for requesting cancellation??”

“of course.”

Lloyd said, catching his breath..

“Actually, I am puzzled. I don't understand why you say that building a jewel of truth on this earth would be harmful. Of course, since it is an amazing building that provides answers to any question, I understand that you are concerned about the possibility of it being misused. But still. If you think about it the other way around, wouldn't it be possible to use gems well to benefit those around you??”

“keep talking.”

“Yes, thank you. So this is what I am saying. Please cancel the demolition so that we can build the Jewel of Truth. However, if you are concerned about the gem being misused, we may attach conditions..”

“what are the conditions.”

“Wouldn't it be okay if an angel came down and watched every time the gem was activated??”

“Are you saying that you will operate the gem under the presence and supervision of an angel??”

“yes, that's it.”

“……All right. Let me raise your complaint to heaven. Then for a moment.”

Left Angel Raphael took a step back..

I closed my eyes.

Through the angel rings above your head.

I contacted my immediate superior in heaven..

Lloyd's complaint was forwarded..

And soon I received an answer.

opened my eyes.

I looked down at Lloyd..

But those eyes were different from before..

It was infinitely cool and resolute..

The same thing was said to Lloyd..

“Lloyd Frontera, the human of the underworld. Heaven's answer to your complaint has arrived. In conclusion, we inform you that your request for cancellation of demolition has been dismissed..”

“……yes?”

“Aotearoa, the jewel of truth, is a building with the potential to reveal a secret. Therefore, it is designated as a priority demolition target in heaven, and cancellation of demolition is impossible without special reasons..”

“Hey, wait a minute. For special reasons, just…….”

“Your personal circumstances were not recognized as special reasons. together-”

The left angel's eyes looking at Lloyd became even colder..

“As previously announced, in accordance with Article 8, Paragraph 3 of the Act on Special Measures for the Maintenance of Illegal Buildings, etc., if the request for cancellation through prayer is rejected, the demolition order will be implemented immediately..”

“…….”

“That is all.”

That was it..

The left angel moved.

It passed by Lloyd in an instant..

I approached the gem without even having time to grab it..

went up to the top of the palace.

Raised the mace of condemnation.

Jewel nearing completion.

Ready to hit the top.

But it was that moment.

“Wait!”

The sound of breathing harshly.

A gesture to urgently block the way forward.

Before we knew it, Lloyd came running and blocked the left angel's path..

But now he wasn't kneeling or praying..

Instead, I raised my shovel and.

Aiming at the left angel's eyebrows.

As if you want to hit Bo-ok, hit yourself first..

I was holding on with my whole body with my eyes wide open..

‘of course! This is ridiculous.!’

It was unfair.

Jewelry could not be demolished like this..

I wanted to prevent the restoration of fate..

I wanted to protect everyone, including the Countess and Julien..

I wanted to live the rest of my life happily with the people who became my family..

But there was absolutely no way the jewel could be demolished in such a ridiculous way..

With that thought in mind, I blocked the left angel..

I have to stop it somehow.

Convince the left angel or stop him.

First of all, we have to stop them from hitting the gem..

If you want to do that, hit me first..

I will never get out of your way.

I opened my eyes wide and bit my lip with a sincere feeling..

But it was that moment.

“You, human Lloyd Frontera. Are you trying to interfere with the execution of official duties in heaven??”

“yes?”

“One final warning. get out of the way.”

The left angel's cool voice pierced my eardrums like a dagger..

Lloyd stared into the left angel's eyes without answering..

“…….”

I can't get out of the way.

No, I won't get out of the way..

So let's think.

What should I offer to that angel who can't even compromise?.

What should I say to shake that guy to stop?.

Let's think.

Let's use our heads.

more desperately.

smarter.

‘Remember, please!’

He shook his head desperately..

But before he could think of anything, the left angel delivered a cold sentence..

“I understand what you mean. So, I hereby inform you that what will happen from now on is something you brought upon yourself. You, the human Lloyd Frontera, disobeyed Heaven's decision and attempted to stop the angel from enforcing the demolition order. We inform you that such actions constitute serious obstruction of official duties and will result in summary punishment..”

“……yes?”

The left angel's voice sounds cold and resolute..

At that moment, Lloyd saw.

Kwaaaa-!

The left angel's mace was coming down..

Breaking and splitting the entire space as if tearing it apart.

As if they were going to destroy this side and the jewel together..

It was falling down without hesitation.

It was so fast.

There was no hesitation any more..

I didn't even feel like there was room for compromise..

“……!”

Lloyd's eyes widened..

The flying path of the mace was visible..

Amplified senses thanks to Sword Master Syndrome.

Thanks to this, I could see everything about the mace that was attacking me..

The grip of the left angel holding the mace, the movement of the body, and even the change in the balance of weight carried by the movement..

I felt everything..

But I couldn't react.

‘……My body can't keep up with the sensations.’

Although my senses were close to that of the Sword Master,.

He was still at the upper level of a sword expert..

That's why.

I can see mace flying with my eyes..

Even though it looks so obvious.

My body couldn't respond..

I couldn't move.

Couldn't avoid it.

No, I couldn't even dare to avoid it..

I felt like my body was a slug..

Thanks to you, I was able to realize.

‘Can't avoid this.’

What happens if you get hit by that?.

I don't want to imagine.

But in the meantime, the mace was rushing at every moment..

Cutting the air and breaking space.

Steadily and resolutely.

It flew into my head.

‘crazy.’

It was absurd..

I thought my head would explode like this.

I wondered if they had worked so hard to end up like this..

So I started laughing without even realizing it..

At that moment, a flash of light flashed before my eyes..

Kaaaang-!

“……!”

Did I get hit by a mace?.

I had that thought for a moment..

But when I looked again, it wasn't.

Someone was blocking our way.

He turned his back to me and raised his sword..

He was blocking the left angel's mace with a single sword..

In a firm and cold voice, he was giving a sentence to the left angel..

“Javiel Asrahan, a knight of the County of Frontera, will be summarily punished for trespassing into the territory without permission and threatening the lord's family..”
