Chapter 8
[Demon]
Known entities that are said to live in the depths of the earth’s hellish abysses or within the flames of molten lava.
However, in reality, the places where demons appear are not the depths of the earth or the boiling lava.
The so-called ‘Hell’ is actually a different dimension where the seeds of evil that come from there are subject to significant constraints when interacting with the material world.
As a result, demons that have just been summoned and have not yet adapted to the material world become extremely weakened.
For them, appearing in places filled with energy and vitality, like the earth or a volcano, is essentially a dangerous act akin to suicide.
Therefore, contrary to what is commonly known,
there were specific places where demons would appear.
The Sky
A space with an extremely low density compared to other worlds,
A world that becomes utterly calm and devoid of phenomena once you rise to a certain altitude.
This place was ideal for demons that had just crossed into the material world to catch their breath,
and simultaneously, it was the best place for them to plan their invasion of this world.
And now,
one of those powerful demons,
one of the Seven Great Demons Ruling Hell,
Diabolos,
was beginning the plan he had prepared for a long time.
“Finally… the day has come! At last, it is time for me to make those foolish and vile mortals tremble with fear!”
To cross into the material world, a demon of such great power, unlike an ordinary demon, requires an immense amount of energy.
For this purpose, Diabolos had been accumulating an enormous amount of sacrificial energy over the past few decades in Hell and through his subordinates in the present world.
And finally, at this moment.
With the desired amount of energy gathered, Diabolos,
began to use that immense power to wedge his way into the material world.
The place was naturally the safest and most adaptable, the sky.
In the pitch-black darkness where the sun had disappeared and shadows prevailed,
Diabolos, despite being weakened by the material world’s interference, began to reveal his still immensely powerful form.
His red flesh adorned with the demonic symbol of enormous horns.
And his chilling yellow eyes blazing with the flames of Hell.
The serene and frigid night sky instantly began to heat up with intense warmth at his appearance.
“Kuhahaha… Just wait a little longer, mortals! The sweet peace you have enjoyed so far is over! Now, I will engrave true despair and terror deep into your weak souls…”
At that moment.
“…Huh?”
A suddenly intrusive sensation.
To a Great Demon like him, it was an exceedingly unpleasant feeling, and Diabolos turned his head towards the source of this repulsive aura.
The scene that met his eyes right after.
It was a brilliant light rapidly flying towards him at a terrifying speed.
A massive divine power that was impossible for him to handle since he hadn’t even completed the summoning.
And at the center of it was… a figure with pure white six wings and countless red eyes…
“!?! N-no… You’re… Seraph… Kheh!!!!!!!!!!”
The terrible wave of divine power struck his partially summoned form.
Even for a Great Demon, this strike was extremely fatal in the current weakened state.
“A… Ah… N-no… I… Th-this…”
The concentration, which had just been summoned, shattered completely as the blow struck.
As a result of this immense impact,
Diabolos’s body was forcibly sent back to Hell.
“Huh? Did something just collide with us?”
“I… I’m not sure. B-but, Seraphim, this… this seems too fast…”
“We’re almost there. Just hold on a little longer.”
“U-uh yes!”
The Seraphim and Arc Royle, soaring across the sky towards the High Heavens.
As a result of their noble efforts,
the decades-long plan of the Great Demon was shattered in an instant.
It was summer.
…
The Archangel who returned to Heaven with Seraphim was Arc Royle.
Her heart was filled with determination.
The Celestial Harmonizer she met by chance,
Seraphim.
Although their first meeting was chaotic due to humans who couldn’t distinguish between angels and demons, that great being generously forgave her.
Is that all?
That great being had taken in her, who had been wasting time entangled with humans all this time.
And showed her.
The ruins of the celestial realm.
And the whereabouts of the other angels who had disappeared without a trace.
The appearance of her long-lost hometown turned into desolate ruins struck Arc Royle, who had been enjoying playful games among humans, with a profound sense of regret.
And made her vow.
She vowed to rebuild this lofty celestial realm… the place that the great Seraphim calls Heaven.
To become the hands and feet of the great Seraphim and work alongside Him.
And the first step towards that was…
“Hmm… So… does this mean we should not help humans without compensation?”
“Yes, it is said in the old saying that continuous Favor can become a right. Humans, no, all living beings are fundamentally driven by desires.”
The Seraphim explained the workings of the world step by step.
Unlike the name-only Seraphim, he was showing a true archangel’s understanding of human mental states and philosophies.
[Though the divine teaches to restrain and act in righteousness, that nature does not change easily. Therefore, the divine has given the world laws. The Golden Rule, known as ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ (Matthew 7:12) — meaning you should give as much as you receive, and receive as much as you give.]
Additionally, he provided information about the heavenly laws Arc Royle did not know well.
“I… I did not know such a rule existed… I am really lacking in study…”
“Hmm…”
The Seraphim gave Arc Royle a look that seemed to question, ‘What exactly do you know?’
Aware of her own lack of knowledge, Arc Royle could only observe the expressions of her great master and teacher.
“Well, that’s alright. You can still study from now on.”
Despite the gaze, the Seraphim offered words of comfort.
Encouraged by the warmth in her words, Arc Royle regained some of her composure and refocused on the lesson.
“Anyway, this is why we must carefully observe and choose humans. Simply providing unlimited help just because someone belongs to the church is foolish and could cause chaos in the world. Did you not know that the very humans you were helping had recently harmed people using undead?”
“I… I will remember this, Seraphim.”
Reflecting on her past foolishness,
At the same time, Arc Royle’s respect for the Seraphim, who possessed not only great power but also profound knowledge, grew significantly.
The fact that she had become the only being serving such a great entity filled her heart with a deep sense of pride.
At that moment,
A human figure suddenly appeared in Arc Royle’s mind.
The human woman who was the first to receive help from the Seraphim before her eyes,
Now appeared with a strangely irritating presence.
“Seraphim, what is your relation with that human woman? The holy knight you met before.”
“Eva Gellion, you mean. She is bound to me by a contract and serves as an information gatherer. This form might evoke aversion in humans.”
“H… How?… Aversion… to the Seraphim’s beautiful form? How can that be…?”
“Hmm?”
Arc Royle expressed her doubts with genuine curiosity.
In contrast, Seraphim looked perplexed, her eyes widening in surprise.
Arc Royle spoke with careful yet clear conviction.
“Isn’t that so? With these brilliantly shining six wings, the majestic divine form, and countless eyes representing abundant knowledge. You embody beauty and majesty so vividly. How could anyone feel aversion to such a figure?”
“Are you speaking sincerely?”
“Sincerely… Are you suggesting I am lying? On the contrary, I do not understand. Even those foolish humans of Sodam would always speak of my humble and unattractive form as beautiful. How could they mistake your flawless and divine form for that of a demon?”
“…”
Arc Royle spoke with an earnestness that left no room for deception.
The Seraphim, upon hearing these words, momentarily lost his words and inadvertently looked away.
After a brief silence.
“Hmm… I appreciate that you see it positively, but do understand that my appearance can be burdensome for humans. That’s why I am observing the world through Eva Gellion for now.”
“I do not quite understand that part, but… Yes, I understand.”
Muttering about not being able to grasp the base human sense of beauty, Arc Royle accepted this knowledge.
For her Seraphim’s appearance was so beautiful that it was beyond human comprehension.
“Well then, since we’re on the topic, let us take a look at what Eva is doing.”
“Yes, Seraphim.”
With those words, the Seraphim used divine magic to project Eva’s view, connected through the holy power, into the air like a beam projector.
However…
“Oh… What is this.”
“…Ah…”
Upon seeing Eva’s view and hearing her voice,
Arc Royle, intrigued, voiced her interest.
Conversely, Seraphim sounded as if she was in disbelief.
The dramatic reactions from the two angels were provoked by her.
Holy Knight Eva was shouting loudly at a group of people in a room.
-“Everyone! What is God? It is always a cherished name! The name of salvation long awaited! God is the one referred to as Seraphim! Everyone!!!”-
