93.
It was only after the light faded that Hyeon-woo was able to take a closer look at the being that came down from the sky.
A halo shone behind the two pairs of large white wings fluttering behind her back, her silver hair blowing in the wind. It was the appearance of an angel that people often imagine.
The young woman who smiled kindly opened her mouth.
“Bow down and worship!”
A clear and refreshing voice resounded. An unknown feeling of intimidation pressed down on his shoulders, but that was short-lived. He patted his shoulder and he returned to how he was as usual.
Hyeon-woo, a human, was briefly affected, but Alberg was no different from usual.
The angel’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
“Can’t you hear my voice?”
He heard it clearly.
“You’re a cheeky human being.”
The angel who snorted her nose flapped her wings and landed down. Then, she looked at Hyeon-woo and Alberg alternately. It seemed that she was probably trying to find the opponent who had erupted his demonic energy. Then, she found the fairy, who was held tightly by Hyeon-woo.
“Why is the fairy here?”
It was a sharp voice, as if on alert. Only then did the fairy raise her head as if she had come to her senses.
“Why are you here?”
The fairy clenched her forehead with one hand she barely pulled out. She wanted to place her hand on her chest to greet the angel, but she couldn’t.
“Huu.”
The fairy sighed deeply and opened her mouth again.
“Even now, it’s not too late! Both of you can return to your original world! Neither the Demon Realm nor the Celestial Realm should interfere recklessly with other worlds.”
“Demon Realm?”
The fairy sighed deeply and pointed at Alberg with her small hand.
The angel tilted her head disapprovingly. Then she looked at Alberg again as he ran his finger across her chin. And she seemed to have realized something.
“Ah.”
Stepping back, the angel took off what she was wearing on her back and assembled it with both her hands, as if putting a toy together. What came out was a nice spear.
Unknowingly, as he applauded for the novelty, she smiled as if she was embarrassed. A moment later, her eyes turned to Alberg.
“You’re the one who spread demonic energy!”
“And?”
“I shall defeat you!”
“Try if you can. This kid is quite brave.”
“Who’s a kid?”
Arlberg gazed at the angel.
“I’m not a kid!”
Hyeon-woo, watching the interaction, asked the fairy secretly.
“Is that angel still young?”
“It only looks like an adult.”
On the outside, she looked mature, but in the eyes of the fairy and Alberg, she was only a child.
“Come at me, kid.”
The spear of the angel began to tremble at Alberg’s provocation.
“We can’t fight here!”
The fairy desperately struggled and tried to stop the two. However, it was not easy because her body was restrained.
“Hyeon-woo-nim, can you let go now? I’ll not run away!”
The fairy earnestly asked Hyeon-woo. However, Hyeon-woo’s trust in the fairy was so low that he did not even think about loosening his fist.
“I swear by the name of Queen Tigris!”
In the end, the fairy cried and swore to the one and only queen.
“Can I trust you?”
Hyeon-woo’s expression was still suspicious, but Alberg somehow helped the fairy.
“All fairies are like the queen’s offspring, so you can trust them if they bet on that name.”
“Hmm.”
Only then did Hyeon-woo’s grip lose strength. The fairy sighed again, rubbing her numb body caused by his grip on her.
“Demon, I will punish you!”
In the meantime, the angel was aiming a spear at Alberg in a rage.
With two pairs of wings and that level of strength, it would be an angel with a promising future in the celestial realm. However, the opponent was the person who ranked No. 1 in the Demon Realm. As long as the archangel didn’t come, it was obvious that she wouldn’t be a real opponent.
“You mustn’t kill him.”
The fairy began to beg Alberg, who seemed to be able to talk at least. But the answer that came back was gruesome enough to be sad.
“Why?”
“Your opponent is still young. If you kill such an angel, there will be an uproar in the Celestial Realm.”
“That doesn’t really matter.”
“No, it does matter!”
If there was an uproar in heaven, there would be an excuse for the other world to intervene. It was just that the Celestial and the Demon were species with a terrible relationship. If things went wrong, the 1356th Angel-Demon War might break out. As a fairy, it was a frightening thing that had to be prevented.
“Hyeon-woo-niiim! Please do something!”
In the end, the fairy even clung to Hyeon-woo.
“Alberg.”
Hyeon-woo called Alberg’s name without hesitation.
‘You called the angel to help, and you didn’t intend to kill them, did you?’ Earlier, he said that he would ask the angel for himself.
As he looked at it with that meaning in mind, Alberg’s spirits subsided.
“Sorry, I’m not on good terms with the angels.”
Alberg quietly apologized. Then he looked at the Angel and said.
“I’m Alberg of the Demon Realm.”
“Alberg? It’s a familiar name.”
A fairy flew by and gave a little help.
“The No. 1 in the Demon Realm!”
The angel flinched and took a step back.
“Why is the strongest person in the Demon Realm here? What kind of conspiracy are you plotting, demon!”
“There’s no particular conspiracy, I just came to find a partner.”
“Why is a demon looking for a partner here!”
“Because my partner is human.”
The sky-blue eyes of the angel widened as if they were going to pop out.
“You have bad taste.”
“Shh Shh!”
The frightened fairy approached the angel to slap her on the shoulder.
“You know how demons go crazy for their partners!”
The stronger of the two now was Alberg. As the fairy, she only hoped that the young angel would not die.
“Yeah, but still.”
The angel hesitated for a moment before looking at Alberg. But he didn’t look particularly angry.
“It’s alright. A kid can still talk nonsense.”
Alberg responded generously.
“So what’s your name?”
“I’m Miriel of the Celestial realm.”
“Alright. Miriel. I have a request for you.”
“The Demons have a favor to ask from the angel?”
Miriel looked at Alberg with a puzzled expression.
“I want you to heal a human.”
“Why me?”
“Aren’t angels the ones who lovingly care for humans?”
It was an external image created to prevent humans from sticking to demons.
But to be honest, there were humans here that did that too.
Miriel gasped several times before closing her mouth.
“Please. Help.”
Hyeon-woo knelt down on the spot.
“Hyeon-woo-nim!”
The fairy looked at Hyeon-woo with a surprised expression.
Hyeon-woo also knew that this was an act not like him. But he would do more than this to make Do-jin better.
“Please!”
Miriel frowned. In fact, she didn’t even fully understand what was going on. She watched the other world and felt the demonic magic, and that was why she came over here. However, the demon here was Alberg, who was number one in the Demon realm. In addition, there was one fairy that was neutral, and there was also a human.
Neither side showed any hostility. It was an odd situation.
‘What should I do?’
Should she wait for another angle to come down? Or would it be better to listen to them first? But the opponent is a demon and a human who seems to be related to it?
She learned that demons must be killed unconditionally. Even humans possessed by demons should not be left alive. Her stomach felt complicated by all this.
Miriel stared at her spear for a moment. The spear she received from her father, the archangel, was a weapon optimized for dealing with the demons.
‘Don’t think about anything else.’
Her father said in the past.
‘Demons are enemies.’
‘So don’t try to find out why.’ Miriel had forgotten about it for a while. She raised the spear again.
“It’s right that demons should be punished.”
“Do you even have the skills to punish?”
Alberg laughed, revealing his teeth.
“Even if my skills are lacking, I’ll not back down.”
The atmosphere became increasingly grim. In the meantime, the fairy was restless and tried to stop the two.
“It’s not possible. I said it before, so stop! Causing an accident in another world is breaking the rules!”
“The one who wants to fight seems like that kid more than me.”
“Miriel-nim!”
“I understood your words, fairy. Even so, lowering my weapon with a demon right in front of me is something I can’t do.”
If an older angel had come down, the words would have worked. The fairy tore her hair.
While the fairy was doing that, Miriel, holding her spear, rushed at Alberg. Even at an early age, her body movements were unusual, befitting an angel with two pairs of wings. If she had fought a demon of the same age, she would of course have won.
‘Only if the opponent wasn’t Alberg!’
Alberg smirked and was dodging Miriel’s attack. He looked really relaxed. The only thing destroyed was the human park.
“You need to try it.”
The fairy clung to Hyeon-woo, while crying. Hyeon-woo was also watching them fight with a firm expression.
Alberg didn’t seem to have any plans to do anything to the angel right away, but he couldn’t just avoid the attacks the whole time.
He had to convince the angel.
Hyeon-woo gently bit his lip.
