Chapter 791: Episode 37: Graduation Ceremony (7)

──────

“I never lent you my mouth, Archangel.”

At Yu Junghyeok's irritated remark, the Archangel's wings drooped and fluttered sadly.

Then, with a crackle, a translucent form rose from Junghyeok's Incarnation body like a butterfly newly emerged from its chrysalis.

[The Constellation Demonic Judge of Fire manifests in the area outside the Scenario's jurisdiction!]

It was a demigod Descent by a fabled-grade Constellation.

Archangel Uriel.

The Constellation who had given up all her fables to protect Kim Dokja.

Her warm emerald eyes turned toward me.

[Sorry. You waited a long time, didn't you?]

The moment I heard her voice, I felt like I might suddenly burst into tears.

[It's okay now. I'll protect you.]

Her Incarnation body trembled unsteadily.

She was Uriel of the 1,864th round, not a being of this worldline. She had likely made a contract with the Uriel of this world through some kind of covenant, allowing her to descend here.

“Uriel...”

The Dokja she wanted to protect probably wasn't me. The Dokja she remembered didn't exist in this world. Perhaps he didn't exist anywhere in the universe.

Even so, she had come here to protect Dokja.

Before that noble resolve, I felt the legacy of a Dokja from long ago.

However, even with her arrival, the situation was far from easy.

[An Archangel protecting a demon king. How interesting.]

[Do you think you alone can stop us?]

The Twelve Seats of Olympus stood before us.

[The Constellation Hunter of the Pure Moonlight reveals its Status!]

[The Constellation Omnipotent Sun reveals its Status!]

Artemis, Hunter of the Pure Moonlight, and Apollo, Omnipotent Sun.

Two of the Twelve Seats had come here.

Just to capture me.

No, perhaps there weren't only two.

[Uriel. Move.]

A third fabled-grade Constellation appeared, accompanied by a chilling aura.

[The Constellation Advocate of Justice and Wisdom reveals its Status!]

Athena, Advocate of Justice and Wisdom.

Uriel frowned, as if she hadn't expected Athena to come as well.

[No. And don't speak so casually to me. I'm not the Uriel you know.]

Athena's expression changed, as though she had finally realized something.

[Could you be...]

[Yeah, that's right. Explaining is a pain, so if you've figured it out, get lost already.]

[Archangel from another worldline. Why are you interfering with us?]

[Because you're doing bad things.]

Uriel glanced at me as she said those words.

[Since when did the Advocate of Justice and Wisdom become a villain who oppresses the weak?]

[He isn't weak. He is a demon king, and this world's...]

[Rewarding good and punishing evil. Do you think that antiquated logic of yours is still working properly? Do you really think that kid is evil?]

Athena couldn't answer.

[He's not even a Constellation or demon king anymore. Because of the damned Fate you've let run rampant, he's become a mere Incarnation who can't resist at all. And you still want to kill him?]

Athena bit her lip and glared at Uriel.

[Do you truly intend to fight here?]

[And if I do?]

[Do you understand what will happen if Eden and Olympus wage all-out war?]

[Eat ■. My Eden was annihilated long ago.]

Athena looked as if she had no idea what that meant, but she soon seemed to make up her mind and drew her constellation artifact, Aegis.

[Artemis. Apollo.]

At Athena's signal, the three Seats of Olympus surrounded Uriel.

Uriel glanced at them, then spoke to Junghyeok.

[You remember what I asked, right?]

Junghyeok nodded.

[No matter what happens, protect him.]

At the same time, Uriel and the three Seats vanished.

Then brilliance exploded, covering the black universe. The crimson flames poured forth by Apollo, the Omnipotent Sun, lit up space, while Artemis's arrows flew in with blue tails.

A constellation artifact was now in Uriel's hand.

A sword containing the most exalted flame of [Hellfire Inferno].

The Flame of Karma.

When the Archangel's sword cut through space, both the sun's corona and the hunter's arrows were split apart at once.

Athena's Aegis blocked the sword that tore apart space itself.

[Stop her!]

Uriel possessed enough combat power to stand evenly against three of Olympus's Twelve Seats.

The Flame of Karma was not merely pressuring the three Constellations. It was gradually driving them back.

It was truly shocking power.

Though Uriel was Eden's Great Good, she couldn't fully use the power of the 1,864th round.

She wasn't even in an Incarnation body, only a demigod body.

Yet she was still that powerful.

As if deciding that things couldn't continue like this, Artemis cried out with a pale face.

[Athena, watch out...!]

Uriel flew.

Her white wings spread wide, leaving deep shadows across the universe. Then Uriel's sword stroke, which had severed the necks of countless demon kings, moved.

[Everyone, fall back!]

Athena raised Aegis at the signal. Aegis's Immortal Barrier spread out in scattered layers.

[What is this...]

That very Immortal Barrier was slowly melting away.

The flames of [Hellfire Inferno] tore apart the barrier's outer shell completely and were about to pour down upon the three Seats.

“Move!”

Junghyeok shouted.

A black wave rushed in without a sound.

Uriel was swept away by it in an instant. Then came the roars of beast species and the sound of something tearing apart.

When the wave disappeared, Uriel was glaring in the direction it had come from, a deep wound on her shoulder.

As though answering her gaze, the wave spoke.

[Foolish Archangel. Do you know what you are opposing?]

My heart felt as if it would burst just from hearing the constellation's declaration.

Sparks erupted violently through the area. As if it had no concern for such Plausibility, a god's enormous body was descending into the void.

A being whose very true body made it difficult to breathe.

Only after Junghyeok, standing beside me, released his aura could I barely breathe out and stare ahead.

A Mythical-grade Constellation of Olympus stood there.

「Wherever his spear reaches shall become sea territory.」

One of Olympus's Three Highest Gods, Poseidon, Spear That Draws the Boundary of the Sea.

Uriel gave a bitter smile.

[Ah, word has already spread that far?]

Instead of answering, Poseidon gripped his beloved weapon, Triaina. Waves from the deep sea surged upward like an active volcano through Triaina's spearhead.

I staggered to my feet as though I had lost my mind.

“Uriel. You can't. Uriel...”

No matter how strong Uriel was, she couldn't face all of them at once.

I had to stop this.

At this rate, Uriel would die.

But my voice wouldn't come out properly.

I grabbed Junghyeok's wrist.

Please, save Uriel.

However, Junghyeok spoke in a blunt voice.

“The Scenario I received is to protect you.”

I wanted to pour out a stream of curses.

But my exhausted body wouldn't listen to me.

A distant wave crashed toward Uriel. It was a tsunami she couldn't handle alone in her exhausted state.

Boom.

That was when cannon fire sounded from somewhere.

Boom.

One shot, two shots, three shots. The continuing barrage struck the oncoming waves head-on, breaking them apart, then breaking them apart again.

The tsunami gradually began to lose momentum.

A chill ran down my spine.

I had no idea what was happening.

“Good job. Keep your word, Master.”

I knew the owner of that voice.

Lee Jihye.

She was someone who shouldn't have been here, someone who couldn't possibly be here.

Junghyeok also looked at Jihye with surprise. He couldn't help it. The Status flowing from her entire body clearly surpassed even his own.

“Mister.”

The moment I heard her voice directed at me, I immediately knew which Lee Jihye she was.

“I can only help for a little while. This covenant is really short.”

The Otherworld Covenant.

She had come here by going so far as to make that unreasonable contract.

“Thank you for saving Gilyeong.”

“Gilyeong is...”

“Don't worry. He's safe.”

Fortunately, Lee Gilyeong seemed to have returned safely to Kim Dokja Company.

“My little brother got beaten up somewhere he never should have been. As his older sister, I can't just sit still.”

Even though I knew I shouldn't, my heart kept swelling.

Kim Dokja Company had come.

Not to stop us, but to save us.

Jihye looked at me with calm eyes, then turned back to Junghyeok.

“Master. I'll only say this once. Take Mister and run with everything you've got.”

Junghyeok frowned. His expression made it clear that he didn't like having to run.

However, Jihye ignored that expression.

“You know it's all over if they take Mister, right?”

“...”

“I don't know what kind of conclusion this world will reach, but if Mister falls into their hands, the worst conclusion will come. So you have to protect him.”

“Even if you don't tell me...”

“If that mister dies, even by some chance...”

Jihye drew the Twin Dragon Swords from her waist and added coldly.

“Master dies by my hand.”

Junghyeok opened his mouth as if he couldn't believe it.

Then again, where else would Junghyeok ever hear Jihye say something like that to him?

But that Jihye had the right to say it.

She was Lee Jihye of the 1,864th round.

A member of Kim Dokja Company, the Incarnation of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, and Yu Junghyeok's successor in the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect.

[The Constellation Naval Warfare God gallantly aids its Incarnation.]

When had they appeared?

There were stars watching over this world, even though it had no Scenario.

[The Constellation Bald Army General supports the Naval Warfare God.]

[The Constellation Goryeo's Top Swordsman admires the Naval Warfare God's spirit.]

[The Constellation Lady of the Sleeping Brocade praises the Naval Warfare God's courage.]

They were the stars of the Korean Peninsula.

[A temporary channel is now operating.]

It seemed Bihyeong had opened a temporary channel for me.

Poseidon reacted to their Indirect Messages by taking a step forward.

[How dare mere Historical-grade Constellations interfere where they do not belong.]

At Poseidon's gesture, waves began rushing in from every direction. Top-tier sea monsters raised their heads between the waves. Their fangs jutted out as though they would tear Jihye apart at any moment.

Jihye swung her sword toward the waves' teeth.

Sky Splitter Sword Art.

Ultimate Technique.

Sky-Splitting Meteor Sword.

The sword light flashing from the Twin Dragon Swords pierced every sea monster within the waves.

Poseidon's eyes widened in shock, and the deep-sea current rushing toward us froze for an instant.

As if showing reverence to another master of the sea.

The stars of the 1,864th round called her this.

「The Sovereign of the Great Sea.」

The sound of slapping waves rang out.

Using the black universe as a sea, ship prows began appearing one by one behind Jihye.

“Our master reportedly fought Odin once.”
