Chapter 135 – Matters of Heaven

──Boom!!

Looking at Artin, who raised his middle finger toward the monitor, Akrael slammed his fists down nervously.

“How dare you disregard this body’s command and curse instead…?”

Dare to the subject of mortals? From the time of creation, he was created as a 6th-class angel, a power angel, and now he has become a 5th-grade angel, a power angel?

“Calm down, Akrael-sama, no matter how you think about it, this is an act of violating the Goddess-sama’s command! This is what the manual says..!”
“Shut up! Are you going to order the lowest-ranking angel, the ninth-class angel, to me!”

Zeta El, who was watching the situation from the side, hurriedly dissuaded Akrael, but the words only irritated Akrael, who even his fists his trembled with rage soaring like mad.

“Great..! Artin Ludwig! I gave you a chance! Start again from the beginning with the regression you chose, with evil and kang!”

-Wheein! Weeing!

When Akrael clicked on the screen, a notification announcing the return of the world began to sound.

In the next 5 minutes until the return is activated, after 5 minutes, that mortal will forever regret his choice!

Haha! I’m calling mortals like you stupid for making such stupid choices! Chew your choice endlessly, Artin Ludwig!”
“…Stop it! I will no longer give advice only in words!”

Zetael, who saw Akrael’s state of complete taste, eventually raised his weapon his, the whip, and began to spread two wings.

Seeing only two wings, and thin wings shorter than his own arms, Akrael burst into laughter and raised his baton.

Haha! How dare a level 9 angel stop me? Don’t you know that you have neither the right nor the power to do that! Dumb loser!”
“Of course I may not have the power or authority, but I know that I cannot stand still when I see an angel like you! Be prepared!”

Zeta El shouted resolutely and brandished his whip.

He did n’t think that he would be able to defeat the 4-winged angel, but he could buy time by taking advantage of his gap his and stopping his return his!

However, Zetael’s whip, which contained such determination, was blocked by the shock wave of Akrael’s baton swung with divine power.

-Quaang!

“Keugh…!! Cool!”

Even immediately after being pushed back by the shockwave, Zeta El’s body his could not stand the impact and he began to cough and splatter his blood on the floor.

“Do you think that only a 9th-level angel can deal with me, a high-class angel created for the great war against the devil?”

Four wings spread behind Akrael’s back as he spoke arrogantly. The four large wings seemed to show the difference in power between Zetael and Akrael.

“Well, that’s fine. You have to be punished for daring to attack me, a superior and high-ranking person.”

Anyway, Akrael didn’t like Zetael for interfering with his judgment. Or rather, Zeta-L’s attack on herself became the best excuse to punish her for her arrogance of her.

Putting his baton down on the desk and pulling out the sword, the real weapon he was wearing around his waist, Akrael gave a fishy smile.

“Even you foolishly know that if an angel of a higher rank shows signs of corruption to an angel of a lower rank, he has the right to execute a maximum on the spot, right?”

At those words, Zetael gritted his teeth. Akrael’s intention is to say that he will dispose of himself on the spot.

“..I know very well that direct punishment is only done during a great war!”
“Oh, you who interfere with the work the Goddess directly ordered, are you no different from the fallen angels who started a great war? This is the execution of justice.”

He whipped the whip at Akrael, who was slowly walking toward him, but Akrael cut the whip at once and did not stop walking.

Awesome!

“Keugh…! A whip!”
“Imitating the mercy of the Goddess, I make a final recommendation. Do not rebel against me, but guide champions and mortals in my ways. In that case, let’s avoid execution.”

Soon after, Akrael, who had completely cut off Zetael’s whip, aimed his sword at Zetael’s throat, who was making an angry expression.

“… I will refuse. I don’t know how to compromise with what I think is wrong..!”

He didn’t know if he would really perish if he was cut by that sword, but Zetael was determined.

Even if he perishes on this spot, seniors will help the regressor…!

“Fool until the end, then goodbye!”

As Akrael swung his sword, Zeta El tightly closed his eyes.

Although he perishes in this place, he will feel proud that his will to maintain justice and order has not been broken..!!

─Stupid!

Right after that, the first thing Zeta El felt after making up his mind was not the cold feel of the sword cutting him, but the dull feel of breaking something.

“Aaaaa!!! Dare! Who are you!!”

After Akrael missed his sword by a mace that flew from somewhere, he hurriedly regenerated his broken hand and looked in the direction the mace had come from.

“This baelzebul bastard… Dares to injure my dear younger angel?”
“—Sardiel-sama!”

Flashing blue eyes, Sardiel swung his mace at Akrael once again.

‘What the hell! What is this power?!’

Akrael hurriedly moved away from where he was standing and avoided the mace, but the power of the mace that shattered the wall instead of Akrael was astounding. Is that a power that can come from the same power angel?

“You dare, at least the angel who managed the status window..!!”

Akrael could not stand it. He was punished, and an angel, who should have been on guard at home, appeared and disturbed him, scaring him.

So it didn’t work. He was a warrior who had fought against demons himself, and was recognized by the Goddess as an elite who had been promoted to the first rank!

Of course, the task of managing the status window was nothing more than a stepping stone for him to pass. However, the losers who failed even this mission were not supposed to stand up to themselves.

“I am Akrael! The sword of the goddess who slashes demons, and a powerful angel who follows the words of the goddess! I will personally punish you for daring to interfere with the mission!”

No matter how ignorantly strong he is, there is no way he will be defeated by an angel who has never experienced combat!

Akrael released all of the power he had gathered and attacked Sardiel!

“It’s so noisy, you bastard flies!!”

-Quaang!!!

Before Akrael’s sword could even be swung, Sardiel’s mace struck Akrael’s back with the speed of lightning.

“Aaaaah!!”

With one single blow, Akrael felt the shock as if his whole body would be destroyed.

In fact, Sardiel could have personally annihilated Akrael with this one shot, but he did not.

“Zetael! Can you move If there is, stop the regression immediately!”
“Ah, I see, Sir Sardiel!”

The first thing to do was to stop the regression. When Zeta-L ran and manipulated the computer, which was still intact even in the half-destroyed office, the alarm sounding to inform the return operation stopped.

“Uh..How.. Can a powerful angel be this strong..?”

Akrael, who was wriggling at Sardiel’s feet, murmured. How could a loser who dared to stand against himself who dared to do the will of the goddess be this strong?

“Did I say a talented angel? These days, 6th grade graduates are not supposed to recognize their superiors?”

Sardiel sneered at those words and spread his wings once more proudly.

“… Nonsense.. Wings?”

It was Zeta-El who reacted when he saw the wings spread behind the white suit.

To Zetael, who had only seen the moderately sized wings that Sardiel usually flaunted when he flaunted, Sardiel’s sincere appearance was too unfamiliar.

Sardiel’s wings, which boasted a large size like a dragon’s wings just by spreading out a pair of wings, showed off their dignity like the wings of archangels.

“..Me, six wings? You… You… Must be… A reverse angel…?”

There were 6 wings instead of 4.

Akrael could not contain his astonishment because the beings with six wings in Heaven were only high-ranking angels, less than 1%.

“It’s because I got into a lot of accidents and got demoted a lot. Originally, I was a second-class angel, a top-notch angel~ That’s what I mean. During the Great War, the number of demon pots I destroyed must exceed the number of your feathers!”

Akrael couldn’t understand even more. A noble angel who commands the angels to subjugate God’s enemies and protects heaven is such a waste? Besides, what on earth did he have to do to get demoted from a 2nd-class angel to a 5th-class angel?

“Originally, it’s a punishment for just taking out the wings, so I only open 4 sheets.. I’m going to get scolded because of you. Right Akrael?”
“… Everything, don’t come closer! What are you trying to do to me!”
“It’s not a big deal~ You said it confidently earlier, didn’t you? A higher-ranking angel can personally punish a lower-ranking angel who has beaten him.”

Akrael got scared and tried to run back, but Akrael, who had not yet woken up from the shock as if his whole body had been smashed, could not run away from Sardiel.

“..What are you doing, Zetael?”
“Yes Yes?! Why do you do that? Angel of good fortune?!”
“I have to finish the status window quickly.

Quick-witted Zetael realized that what he meant was to turn your head and pretend you didn’t see it.

When I glanced down, Akrael, who was crawling on the floor, was staring at me sadly with eyes asking for help.

“…All right. The manager is away, so I’ll take care of the business for him.”
“My, Zetael! What are you saying! The manager is here…Ahhh?!”

As Zeta-El turned his head and started pounding on his keyboard, Akrael screamed, but was soon let out by a scream.

The reason was simple. It was because Sardiel placed his feet on Akrael’s back and began to clasp the pair of wings with both hands.

“Because I am so merciful to you. You can’t just destroy someone and do something barbaric like that?”
“Go.. Go.. Thank you.. But why are the wings..?”
“By the way, punishment isn’t just execution, right? Wouldn’t it be the Commander’s authority to demote the rank?”

Creepy. Akrael, who was unconscious from the shock, did not understand what he said, but he began to have a hunch that something bad was going to happen the next moment.

“Sorry! Sir Sardiel! Only once! If you look after me, I will obey Sardiel-sama’s command!!”
“Okay? What to do with this, I don’t like men like you!”

Wooddeuk!!

“Quaaaaa!!!!!”

As Sardiel pulled his wings, Akrael’s wings radiated light and were ripped off. Akrael struggled in pain, but Sardiel laughed at the reaction and tore off his wings completely.

“Hehe!…For what happened…By the status window’s…Error…Apologizing…Heheh!…Compensation…Payment…”

Zetael was trying hard to ignore the demotion (physical) that was happening behind him and was delivering compensation for the cancellation of the quest and Akrael’s self-righteousness of his.

‘.. Sardiel, didn’t he say that he was created less than 100 years ago?’

For a moment, what Sardiel had said in the past passed through his mind his, but Zetael decided not to settle his curiosity his.

“Aaaaa!!! Aaaaagh!!!”
“Now, if you go around in front of me from now on, are you going to pluck out the remaining pair of wings as well?”

It was because asking Sardiel, who satisfactorily looked down at the angel rolling on the floor and wiped his bloody hands with the wings he had just plucked out, required more courage than risking extinction.

“Well, did you handle it well, Zetael?”
“N.. Yes Sardiel-sama! We announced that it was due to an error and paid compensation! I will try to take intensive care afterward!”
“Ah~ relax! I like Zetael’s cool side!”

He wanted to ask if he could relax if it were you, shaking his head, but Zetael decided to keep this inside as he heard Akrael’s voice still groaning in pain.

“…What? Zetael? Did you handle it well?”
“Yes, I handled it as mildly as possible, but why is that? Sir Sardiel?”
“…But why is Artin collapsed?”

On the monitor Sardiel pointed to, Artin collapsed in Olga’s arms.

“What? Forced regression didn’t work, nor was it an error. This..”
“Move aside for a moment, press the status check button and go to check details.”

When Sardiel pushed Zeta-El and manipulated the computer, a status window appeared on the monitor that fully displayed Artin Ludwig’s condition.

“…Sleep scent? There, on line 28, it says that you are poisoned with sleeping poison.”
“What? Suddenly, who uses sleeping poison?”

Olga and Artin are the only ones in that space.

Sardiel checked the details of the log, as there would be no interference from the outside unless Sirka, the high-ranking dreamer contracted with Artin, was stabbed in the back.

“…Olga Virtus poisoning Artyn with sleeping poison? What is this sound?”

When Sardiel asked nervously, Zeta El flinched in surprise, but he couldn’t answer it.

It was because it was not possible to know what Olga was thinking while watching a sleeping Artyn in the monitor after filming a new wave just a while ago.
