Chapter 304 – An Unexpected Invitation
#304.
At midnight, Gaon was sitting on the sofa on the first floor and quietly staring at the entrance.
‘What on earth is it?’
Warrior leader Minerva dispatched from Halo. She had no connection with him, and she couldn’t quite figure out why she said she would come.
It is true that he became very unusually fast and gained enormous power, but that is not enough to interest Minerva.
Gaon, who was continuing his complicated worries, suddenly laughed.
‘This is how it feels.’
How to gain advantage by taking advantage of the digital divide. It was the way the regressor enjoyed it. It’s frustrating to see that happen in reverse, to the point of going crazy.
It was quite unpleasant to have someone else know my secrets that I couldn’t figure out.
‘I hope it doesn’t crash…’
The odds are low, but we’ve prepared for the worst.
There are currently five people in the guild: Chorin, Hayeon, Jaehee, Isabella, and Surin. Even if it collided with the power Minerva brought, it would not be easily pushed back.
In fact, Hirencia and Ruggiena also said they would join, but he refused.
As a member of the Knights, Hirencia could not leave the imperial palace empty, and Rouziena was busy enough leading Lucipheon.
Anything more than this would be a waste of energy, since all you had to do was endure it anyway.
As time passed and the clock pointed to the hour, the door slowly opened.
A total of three characters appeared.
His face could not be seen properly, perhaps because it was shadowed by the moonlight shining from behind.
But soon, as the figures took a few more steps and entered the guild, their identity was revealed by the lighting.
Naturally, the leader was Minerva, the warrior commander under Metatron.
Appearing as if she had hidden her wings, she slowly approached and stopped at a distance of about 2m.
Then she slowly lowers her head.
“Late time. We apologize for the sudden visit.”
“… It’s okay. Didn’t you announce your visit in advance? Rather, I don’t know why you asked to see me. I have nothing to do with Halo.”
When questioned, Minerva raised her head.
She put her hand into her bosom, asked with her eyes, and when she gave permission, she immediately pulled out one of her silvery feathers.
“That…”
“Fate Observer. It is the feather of Archangel Urariel. If you have this, you can get in and out of Halo. It was an order to deliver to Hyuugaon.”
“… Did you say Archangel Urariel? Why did he…”
It bothered me that he was not another archangel, but Uriel, who had the ability to foresee.
Her expression hardened as she asked, and Minerva studied her face as if observing her, then poked out her feather and said,
“I was not informed of the details. However, you said it was the singularity of destruction. They said it would play a big role in the future.”
“The Singularity of Doom…”
That is something that can never be denied.
In his previous life, he survived after the destruction, and even fought the Dimension Eaters directly, so it was appropriate to be called that.
As Gaon stared down at her feathers, maintaining her silence, Minerva held it out.
“Take it. Present the feather in Sky Castle and it will guide you to Halo.”
The sky castle literally refers to a huge castle floating in the air, through which it was possible to move to Halo.
The magic power contained in the feather itself is not very large, so it seems that it only serves as a simple pass.
Concerned, Gaon held her in her arms, recalling that he had intended to contact her at some point anyway.
“I’ll see you again later.”
“Yes. Then I’ll just go. Please rest in peace until we see you next time.”
I had to fight the guys who would jump through the cracks tomorrow right now, but I wanted to know what bullshit that was, but I didn’t bother to say it out of my mouth.
It’s not that Minerva didn’t know that, it was just a simple goodbye.
Gaon watched them go away toward the imperial palace through his senses, then climbed the stairs to the waiting room where the party was waiting.
‘Uraliel. What future did you see?’
Something I’ve never experienced in my previous life. About a month ago, the world was slowly moving in a different direction from the future he knew.
Gaon began to think of what was to happen in the future while fiddling with his feather in his bosom.
***
Wheei-
The spring breeze brushes your cheeks.
Climbing to the top of the clock tower, Gaon looked around the capital and communicated with Lougiena.
“Lugiana. How about that one?”
-No problem. All preparations are done, all that remains is to wait. As soon as the rift opens, I’ll join you in the basement of the imperial palace.
“Yes. Then see you later.”
-Huh. Love you.
“I love you too.”
Gaon, who whispered love and cut off contact, this time contacted Jaehee.
– Mr. Gaon!
“Miss Jaehee. How are the preparations going?”
– Of course, everything is over! But I’m a bit worried. Will I be able to stop…
His voice is hushed and he seems a little unconfident. Of course, the current situation was too big for her to handle. No matter how prepared she is, she can’t help but seem insufficient.
Gaon deliberately said a little playfully to relieve her tension.
“Don’t worry. You can absolutely block it. It’s just a question of how much damage is reduced. Or maybe you don’t believe me?
-No! What are you talking about? Of course I believe. If I don’t trust Gaon, who do I trust?
“Then have a little laugh. Because I like seeing Jaehee smile. If there is a problem, it is not Jaehee’s fault, so feel free.”
If you can take responsibility for this, it’s only you. He deserves criticism for failing to stop it even though he knew it in advance.
It was never something Jaehee would curse at.
Jaehee was silent for a moment at the tone of her thoughts, then she opened her mouth heavily.
-… All right. Because I did my best. Then hang up I still have work to do. Gaon, I love you.
“Yes. I love you too.”
Gaon, who had cut off contact with her whispering love this time, suddenly felt her stare stinging from the side and turned her head.
Then, right next to her, she saw Chorin, who was glaring at her with open eyes.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“No. Just. Seeing him casually whispering his love to two women takes turns making me feel strange.”
He says it as if it’s nothing special, but a slight jealousy comes through his eyes.
Come to think of it, I couldn’t be with Chorin for almost two weeks due to the visit to the Dracania Empire, Rivera’s confinement, and even the cracks.
It had been more than a few days since he had slept with her, so she couldn’t quite remember when he had told her that he loved her.
Gaon lowered her head and whispered in her ear as she straightened her hair, which was disheveled by the spring breeze.
“Chorin, I love you.”
“… Anyway. It’s just that I’m good at it.”
“Did you like it?”
“It can’t be.”
Chorin, who had been grumbling, strode over as if he couldn’t stand it any longer and took him into his arms. Her face rested comfortably against her chest, as if she felt secure.
Gaon, who was patting Chorin on the back, gestured to Hayeon, who was pouting her mouth from one side of her.
Then she ran over and sniffed in the arms opposite her.
Gaon, who was sharing acts of affection with her two lovers, belatedly discovered her mother-in-law’s gaze happily watching from her side.
When Gaon flinched and tried to separate the two of them, she waved her hand as if asking for more.
When this happened, Gaon fell into a dilemma.
‘What should I do?’
It was ambiguous to separate the two of them, but it was also awkward to keep doing this, so she couldn’t catch her way and kept wandering around.
Then Isabella, inferior to her, gave him her helping hand.
“Why don’t you do dating later and focus on the rift now? How long are you going to stay like that?”
“Ah! Sorry. Did you hear? Come on, both of you away.”
Gaon did not miss that rope.
After quickly apologizing and separating the two properly, Cho-rin and Ha-yeon felt a little sorry, but regained consciousness and properly guarded their surroundings.
Surin, as if recognizing the seriousness of the matter, took her eyes off them and turned in all directions.
Gaon tidied up her clothes and secretly thanked Isabella while pretending to look around through the troop map that her 2nd prince and Lujiena had handed over.
-Isabella. Thank you.
-Aren’t you too soft? In times like these, you should know how to be kind. Or is he just weak to pretty girls? From what you did to me last time, I don’t think that’s the case.
If it’s the last time, it’s definitely a story when you had a drink at night.
At that time, the drunken Isabella seduced him into sleeping with him. Gaon has a history of ignoring it and passing it on.
When she mentioned again what had happened, Isabella became concerned.
When Gaon was silent, she smiled and shook her head.
-It’s okay. I don’t mean to blame you for that. If you’re really sorry, let’s have another drink later. Would you mind rejecting this?
-… All right.
She was also worried about what would happen if the situation from the previous time was repeated after drinking again, but that was not a situation to consider now.
Gaon decided to leave it to her future self.
After such an awkward moment passed, time passed and when the sun rose in the middle of the sky, an extraordinary thing happened.
Deen- Deen- Deen-
The clock on the clock tower strikes the hour, announcing that half of the day has passed.
With him, a black dot appeared in the sky.
“Everyone, get ready!”
At first, the dot was small enough to be barely visible to his eyes, but soon it spread a huge crack all over the sky, and it started to explode! It shattered with a clatter and grew large enough to swallow half of the capital.
Due to the generation of too much energy, the surrounding mana boils and fluctuates.
Eventually, the black cracks began to vomit countless meteors as they wanted to illuminate some kind of devastated world.
Enveloped in black frost, the meteors were enough to blow away the mountains one by one.
Gaon immediately took out the sacred god he had received from Rivera and slammed it into the floor at the top of the clock tower.
When the mana was injected, a barrier formed around the sacred spirit enveloped the entire capital in the blink of an eye, protecting it from the rain of meteorites.
Kwakwang! Bang! Quagmire!
The barrier trembled incessantly in the face of a meteorite with overwhelming mass and speed, but it sucked in the magic power radiating from the dragon heart of the old dragon and repeated destruction and restoration endlessly.
At the same time, a huge magic circle emerged from each mage tower, and 7 types of magic bullets were fired to intercept the falling meteorites.
“From the first appearance, it’s very noisy.”
Looking at the scene, Isabella spat out curtly.
Gaon replied with a smile.
“I mean. I have no manners.”
If you came to someone else’s world, you should behave calmly, but it was very annoying to see you throw rocks from the first greeting.
Everyone nods their heads to see if they agree.
