Chapter 197 – The Great Archangel Sardiel #02

“Ha.”

Somehow, I let out a sigh. Perhaps it was because my heart was not like my heart, but no matter how much I tried to hold it in, a sigh came out along the bubbling inside.

“Uh… Artin, stop getting angry now, huh?”

What can I do, looking at me like that, looking at my eyes, and looking at the self-proclaimed archangel trembling with a voice mixed with coquetry, I think this guy’s tantrum will continue to explode.

“Aw, don’t do that. Didn’t I give you all the money I earned from books?”
“Of course I should. You made money from coterie magazines made while ignoring other people’s portrait rights. Did you intend to eat well with that money?”
“Well, but… It’s okay to take care of the cost of labor… Huh?”

It’s hard work, hard work. What the hell are you asking for money for your hard work?

“Shion, keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t let go of her hand. Because it looks like I’m going to cry out loud again.”
“Yes, Bocchan! I’ll keep an eye on you so that you can’t fall even 1 cm!”

When Shion answered with his eyes wide open, Sardiel raised his hands even higher, crying as if he was frightened by Shion’s spirit his.

Karen, who stood next to her and silently watched her, sighed and gently patted my trembling shoulder.

“Artin, I know you’re upset, but I’m still an angel, so can I treat you like that?”
“What are you talking about, partner? I saved you because you are an angel.”
“…”
“If that was just an ordinary villain, I would have really beaten him to death.”

At my words her, Karen tried to say something to her, but she ended up lowering her head. That’s right, anyone who saw Sardiel’s brazen appearance with their own two eyes would never say that this was serious.

Me too, I still believed at first. What a big meaning!

– “Why did you do this? Do you really want me to tell you the truth?”
– “Yeah… Because it’s fun?”-

I can assure you, I must have been one of the kindest or sweetest people among the countless people possessed in the novel. That kind of thing is also an angel, so I’m keeping it alive.

“Hey…Don’t stare at me like that…I did it because I had my own thoughts too, right? Saying it’s for fun is a joke!”
“Haha, Unicor used to make fun of my hair loss while saying bullshit like that in the 2nd playthrough, don’t you think angels would be different?”

I have to be patient, it’s not good for hair health. I wonder if I can grow long hair because I take good care of it these days, but there is no need to buy and receive stress.

“Huuuuu00e…So, you’re really not a fallen angel or a devil in disguise, are you really an archangel?”
“Is that so? Not a self-proclaimed archangel, but a former archangel! Of course, until recently, I was an intermediate angel…! You said I was still an angel among angels, popular among archangels?”
“Why did such a popular and great angel go from archangel to intermediate angel?”
“That is! Is that really embarrassing? It’s not like I’ve done anything wrong…!”
“Angel, raise your hand naturally. Didn’t the young master tell you to get off?”

Sardiel, who was about to lower his hand and sit down next to me, returned to his original position at the force of Shion fiddling with the handle of his rapier his, blinking his eyes once more.

“…Anyway, it’s really unfair! You mean I played a little, but I didn’t get into an accident?”
“…… Yes, well, let’s not treat this as an accident. Therefore?”
“Still, the Goddess has never been angry with my pranks! I was so grateful that I gave the goddess a present from the bottom of my heart! Then, in a fit of rage, I was told to be a middle-class angel for 30 years. What is it!?”

He was making a face of genuine regret, but in that short remark, he began to guess how much trouble the angels around him must have suffered. You’re the type of person who gets tired like crazy when you’re around them.

“Goddess… I don’t know because I’ve never met the goddess… But what kind of gift did she get so angry at she?”
“No, I just changed the bread for the Goddess to something more delicious! It’s my favorite bread too!”
“…Bread? You demoted the angelic rank just because of bread?”
“Okay! How delicious is bread with raisins! I baked it myself with a lot of love in it!”

At Sardiel’s fervent cry, I had to doubt my ears.

‘Raisin? Bread with raisins? Did I hear right now?’

Raisins didn’t matter. In this short conversation, Sardiel clearly appealed to him how easy-going and careless he was. So certain that his head was spinning.

“Partner, wouldn’t it be better to return this to heaven right away?”
“…Calm down, Artin, I understand your disappointment, but you really are an archangel, right? It will be of great help to us.”
“That… But… “

A sigh came out. Actually, that wasn’t wrong. The angel who appeared at this moment, as I said before, was a precious opportunity that could not be served even if I gave tens of millions of dollars.

It was similar to when I was forced to take over Unicor.

The reason why I didn’t kick out that coward before becoming a lover was because I knew that he was a great help to me, not only because of my sympathy that only fills me up when I see an outsider.

‘It’s the best opportunity to escape from the beginning of awakening, so it’s usually correct for me to bring Sardiel’s pet…’

Artin Ludwig’s body has no talents. Paradoxically, Nagi, who had become strong enough to kill the corps commander with this body, was able to say this with certainty.

Others may say that this is bullshit, but at the time of the 4th episode, I was able to build such an overwhelming strength only after I mobilized all the experiences I had accumulated in the previous episodes for those 3 years and became stronger by monopolizing all the skills I knew.

I assure you, there is not a single person around me who would be physically weaker than me in the 4th episode even after taking so much effort.

Of course, being able to endure the pain and suffering of the process of obtaining a chance is another matter, but if you do, you will be stronger than me at that time even if you bring Zorvana, Shion, or at least Claire with you .

‘Yeah, considering how strong Karen was at the time of the 3rd inning, even if it was clumsy, she gave me all the talent…’

If it hadn’t been for the members of that religious order, they might have caught the real demon king at the time of the 3rd playthrough. Because Prince Richard and Karen are real geniuses who cannot be compared to me.

‘I felt it painfully while preparing for the midterm exam this time. The experiences I have accumulated are nothing more than software that cannot be properly used without hardware.’

Karen and Prince Richard built their own unique system based on their genius in swordsmanship and magic. It’s not just physical talent, but when it comes to learning and mastering something, criminals show unimaginable agility.

On the other hand, the human Yang Hee-min is a genius to the point of hurting his stomach. What I was able to learn is not the realm of geniuses who can show 100% talent in any situation.

Following Professor Black Helic’s way, do the right thing as honestly as possible!
The battle follows Marianne’s way, using the maximum strength and technique!
Magic? Magic is nothing more than eating the knowledge obtained from the contract with Mephisto in the third round like gomtang.

‘I think I’ll never be inferior to the two if only my physicality is made… But the problem is that the midterm exam is over now.’

It seems like it was said a long time ago, but this world stands for Munchkin Academy with a bright atmosphere until the midterms are over.

The problem is that after the dungeon practice, this world turns into a dark fantasy of hard difficulty where you have to risk your life over and over again revealing your hidden fangs without filtering.

In other words, time is overwhelmingly short. Unlike the two geniuses, I need time to become stronger, but this world urges me to solve problems that only geniuses can solve.

The overflowing villains and the incidents that keep popping up, if you try to become stronger purely through training while dealing with all of them, the crotch is not at the level of tearing your crotch. The limbs are torn and are at the level of being divided into five bodies.

“Think about it, Artin, if you sign a contract with an angel now, it will benefit you, not harm you. This is nothing to worry about.”
“That, that is not so… “

The current potential of my body is the beginning of awakening.

In terms of potentials that are divided into ordinary people, enlightenment, awakening, superhuman, transcendence, and ascension, they are barely able to act as human beings.

But even this is not purely strong. Of course, it is thanks to the constant pouring of those good elixirs on the body, but the first-class credit for strengthening the potential is none other than the contract with Unicor.

Its power and authority dwelled in my body, my potential was forced to grow, and I gained the power to handle divine power. Fundamentally, all of this is not my power, but Unicor’s power.

And, of course, a contract is not a process of bringing power that is not there, but a process of exchanging power and authority with each other.

As much as he gave me so much power and authority, of course Unicor is bound to become weak. If Unicor hadn’t made a contract, it would have had enough power to crush and kill a power thief.

These days, Unicor trains itself to help me, but there is a limit to Unicor’s strength and growth.

‘…When you think about it like this, you should give Unicor some praise. I’m going to buy carrot cake when I go home today.’

Anyway, if I make a contract with an angel who is stronger and has stronger divine power than the Divine Beast, Unicor, not only will I become stronger, but Unicor will become even stronger than now.

Yes, I have to get it to do..!

“Partner, can’t you contract and become stronger? I think it would be too much for me to handle that person.”
“…”

I’m sure her breasts are big and beautiful, but it’s sure to be of great help… My instincts are telling me.

‘If I receive this, it’s the beginning of pain that can’t be compared to Unicor at the time of the second playthrough.’

“..Artin.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you were stronger too? No, if you become stronger and defeat all the villains that might appear, I can make contracts with other beings and train slowly in the meantime…”
“…I think I can’t handle it either.”
“…”

The words got stuck in my throat. I didn’t expect Karen to be so honest. It definitely broke my expectations that I thought I would at least turn it around and turn it down.

“Neither do I, I don’t want to have a beauty like that by your side, it’s true that I want to become stronger and protect you… I’m sorry, but I don’t have the confidence to take someone like that with me.”
“…”
“My partner, though, was trained with Unicorn or Mephisto… Huh? Besides, if my partner is weak, I worry a lot…You know how I feel, right?”
“Yeah, I think I know it very well.”

Yes, there’s no way that Karen, who can’t handle Claire properly, can handle that woman. It would be unreasonable for that guy who was insanely bad at dealing with people to begin with, to sign a contract with an inconsiderate angel.

Tring!

Tip: If you sign a contract with the angel Sardiel, you will receive a good title as an additional reward!
─────────────────

At the same time, the status window popped up before my eyes, a good title. Considering the case of Unicor, it may not be a loss at all.

“By the way, since you apologized earlier, you haven’t said a word, so it looks like you’re about to sign a contract, so you’re notified again?”

…

The status window went silent again. Are you holding back? Or is it… Does Sang-chang Sang-chang himself have nothing to say because he knows that he is embarrassed?

‘I wonder why the status window is taking care of that angel in the first place…’

“Sardiel.”
“Yes! Can I lower my arms now?!”
“No, not that. If I sign a contract, are you confident to listen to me and stay calm?”
“Yes?! Sure! How meek I am! After I was put on probation as a junior angel, I was so quiet that everyone was worried about me?”
“No matter how much I hear it, it sounds like bullshit… “

While sighing, I held out my hand and slowly raised the magic pattern for the contract into the air.

Yes, it’s not just one or two suspicious things.
Why did the status window try so hard to attach that woman to me?
How does an angel know exactly my name in real life.
How did that thoughtless angel come down to the human world? I know nothing.

‘Still, it doesn’t look like there’s any malice.’

“Really? Are you really contracting?! Then you can lower your arms, right?!”

When I see Sardiel running towards me, delighted at the fact that I can lower my arm right in front of my eyes, I don’t see him as a being with great malice.

No, when I think of his voice and attitude when he comforted me earlier, it feels real that he had a great favor for me for no reason.

And I’m sick of throwing people who have pure goodwill towards me. Because of this frustrating personality, all kinds of crazy bitches are twisted around, but…

“I, Artin Ludwig, will begin the execution of the ceremony for the contract with the angel Sardiel, according to the magic of the Constellation Solomon of the Covenant!”

Once decided, I didn’t hesitate. As I memorized the contract spell and started the contract ceremony, a bright blue starlight rose up inside this underground building and wrapped around Sardiel and me.

“Wow! Wow! I really can’t believe I signed a contract with Artin!”

The blue starlights became the symbols of the spell again, and the symbols of the spell connect my soul and Sardiel’s soul as one. My power becomes hers, and her power her dwells in my body.

At the same time, I felt an incomparable power and vitality flow through my body.

It’s still weak compared to the 4th playthrough, but it’s strong enough to feel that it caught up with me pretty hard at the time of the 2nd playthrough.

The moment I felt the force, I was sure. With this power, I don’t think I’ll ever have any regrets about making this contract.

‘Yes, what is more important than the despair I felt because I was weak! I get stronger! Become stronger, and this time I will definitely protect my lovers and friends!’

If I could get a mighty power that could protect someone so easily, I would do whatever it takes!

Tring!
─────────────────
I have a contract! Products that have already been opened cannot be returned!
The contract you choose! Angel of your choice! There is absolutely no turning back!
─────────────────

‘…No, should I regret it a bit?’

Even I, like that, couldn’t help but be taken aback by the message that popped up in front of me.

What the hell is the relationship between the status window and that angel?

Tring!
─────────────────
By contract, your body begins to change!
─────────────────

Leaving my doubts behind, my body began to change along with the notification on the status window that rang again.
