Chapter 314: The Price of Corruption (2)
Has it begun? Gi-Gyu wondered when he felt Hamiels energy storming nearby. He felt certain the battle had begun; he couldnt hide his shock.
I had no idea he had become this strong, Gi-Gyu mumbled. As Hamiel began fighting, his power gradually came to light. Gi-Gyu knew he had completed his evolution, but he never got the chance to test the final result.
Hes as powerful as El was before. Hamiel was now as strong as the El before her evolution. No, perhaps he was even stronger than that. All in all, Hamiels evolution was a success. The evolution had made Hamiel a corrupt angelthe most humiliating mark of shame for an angelbut it gave him incredible powers he could use for revenge.
-I am forever indebted to you, Master.
Gi-Gyu smiled when he heard Hamiels telepathic message. Hamiel could now avenge the other angels, and Gi-Gyu was happy for him, but he wondered what price Hamiel would have to pay for becoming a fallen angel.
Good luck. Gi-Gyu replied to him and looked ahead. It was a fortunate thing that Hamiel had become so powerful. After all, light beams similar to the one focused on the Colosseum could now be seen all over Rome.
-It has been a while since I got to go wild.
Lou muttered.
-I will hurry so that I do not burden you, Master.
El sounded a little anxious, probably still guilty about how she couldnt prevent the two angels death. They were like her followers along with Hamiel, and losing them was hard on her too. She sounded determined not to make a mistake again.
No, El, you need to come this way, Gi-Gyu ordered.
-Of course, Master.
Gi-Gyus massive forces moved according to his command, dutifully fighting their assigned battles. And now, it was time for Gi-Gyu to join the fray.
Gi-Gyu looked at the light beam falling from the sky. While waiting for El, he mumbled, Im so glad I dont have to go out looking for the angels myself.
The Colosseums light beamthe one right in front of Gi-Gyuwas the strongest of all the light beams in Rome. And it was still becoming stronger. Consequently, Gi-Gyu suspected the strongest angel of the group would descend to Rome through this beam.
El, Gi-Gyu called out to her when she arrived. She had sped here at an incredible speed, arriving here even before the enemy angel. She must have pushed herself because she looked a little tired.
El smiled, Im relieved that I am not late.
Although Gi-Gyu felt tense, her smile made him smile as well. I know.
Gi-Gyu turned toward the light beam again; it was now thicker and brighter than before.
What an incredible amount of divine energy. And its power was drowning the surrounding area.
Thank you, Hamiel. Gi-Gyu was grateful because, with Hamiels evolution, he now had more on his side to protect the Roman citizens. Therefore, he could now focus on the fight.
When Gi-Gyu had said earlier that he didnt have to go out looking for the angels, he didnt mean that he would wait until they arrived. There was no need for him to be this patient.
Lets go, Gi-Gyu said to El before leaping.
Just then, an angel with giant wings started descending from the light beam. Gi-Gyu smirked, seeing the confused look on the angels face when he saw Gi-Gyu.
Dont be surprised, Gi-Gyu whispered to the angel as he plunged his hand into the male angels chest. The action had been so fast that the angels only got a few breaths on Earth. The angels face dropped; he could now see Gi-Gyus arm that had pierced his chest.
Its shocking, isnt it? Gi-Gyu whispered in his ear and twisted his arm to get deeper inside.
This is gross, Gi-Gyu thought in disgust. Even though his arm was lodged inside the angels chest, he could feel the angels flesh around his arm wiggling to regenerate. Was the angels regeneration power enhanced because this place was saturated with divine energy?
Gi-Gyu didnt want to feel this unpleasant sensation anymore.
I was shocked when you guys made a scene before too, Gi-Gyu muttered.
Master.
Got it, Gi-Gyu stopped insulting the angel and took out his arm.
Khoff. the angel coughed up a mouthful of blood. Even though Gi-Gyus arm was no longer inside his chest, it didnt regenerate. Instead, black energy began enveloping him.
It was Death, which Gi-Gyu had injected into the angel when his arm was lodged inside.
Goodbye. Gi-Gyu lost interest in this dying angel. He looked up and took to the sky. Finding and killing the angels werent as difficult as he had anticipated.
El announced, Its challenging to hold the door open. We must hurry.
Numerous explosion sounds followed the peoples screams.
...! Alberto realized that the evacuees outside the Colosseum were in trouble. The light beams outside the Colosseum hadnt stopped turning the Gods Tear addicts into monsters.
Alberto whispered, There could be Gods Tears addicts outside the Colosseum as well.
Some among the evacuees could indeed be Gods Tears addicts. Gods Tear wasnt like other drugs, and even Gi-Gyu found it hard to detect it in someone. They had tried to separate the addicts from the rest, but they couldnt sieve out the addicts completely.
No Suddenly, Alberto realized that there werent enough players to control the situation. Everything had happened so fast that they didnt have the time to gather enough reinforcements.
Under ideal conditions, they would have separated the addicts, defeated the monsters, and saved the people. But there werent enough players in Italy to accomplish this. Even with Edens help, the situation seemed uncontrollable.
-No, you mustnt.
Albert suddenly heard Hamiels voice. Hamiel was continuously crashing into Castro in their intense battle, but he appeared to feel relaxed enough to talk to Alberto.
But! Alberto protested. Hamiel could tell Alberto wanted to go out of the Colosseum to save the evacuees. It must have been obvious because of the look on Albertos face.
Hamiel ordered,
-Protecting you is part of my duty; therefore, I cant let you go into danger.
Alberto turned tense. Hamiel was right. He was a support category player, so even if he went out, he wouldnt be much help.
Dammit! Alberto swore loudly, unable to control his frustration.
Kaboom!
Boom!
Before long, the sky above the Colosseum and the streets of Rome were riddled with explosions.
Dammit! Alberto was dying inside.
-This isnt your job.
...?
-Not yet
Kaboom!
Another explosion occurred in the sky. When the smoke cleared, Alberto saw that Castro was bleeding while Hamiel looked fine.
Hamiel was now looking at Alberto as he said aloud, Not all of our reinforcement has arrived yet.
Hamiel looked happy, perhaps because Castro didnt seem like a threat now. He looked unconcerned, and a smile appeared on his lips. Hamiel continued, But now I think theyre here.
...!
Alberto stared out of the Colosseum. The wall he had created still stood, but there were holes from Hamiel and Castros fight. Alberto could see the blue light of Edens gate through these holes.
The gate! Alberto exclaimed.
***
Several people left the gate that had formed outside the Colosseum. A clocked individual revealed his face and announced, Im relieved. It looks like we arent too late. But I think we need to hurry.
Another man holding a long sword ordered, Kill all monsters! Its time for us to repay him and prove our loyalty!
Yesssss! screamed the players lined up behind him.
Haa the man in the cloak sighed as if assuaged.
Tao Chen suggested to Sung-Hoon, You should go see Branch Manager Alberto now.
All right. Please stay safe and dont die, Tao Chen, Sung-Hoon replied.
With Tao Chen as their leader, the Chinese players were here to save the burning Rome.
