Chapter 105
“This place, the Western Flower Field, is where my constellation attained divinity.”
[The Kings of the Underworld bow their heads to the Mother of the Underworld.]
“It is where my constellation stood alone as the sovereign of the underworld.”
Ting, ting.
As Yeriel rang the ritual bell in his left hand, black-crimson petals danced softly in the air.
“This is my domain.”
The petals scattered like they were surrounding Agatha and his followers—then began to fall one by one to the ground.
“Don’t take a single step.”
When the petals touched the ground, blades shot upward.
[A hell created to judge the selfish ones who turned away from desperate hope]
The blades rose tall like the trunks of trees and soon formed a dense forest.
“That hell will judge you.”
[Underworld, the Fourth Hell of the Ten Kings: Sword Tree Hell.]
Summoned by the call of Baridegi, the Mother of the Underworld, the ten Kings of the Underworld lent their strength to Yeriel.
[The Sword Tree Hell descends.]
They were the sovereigns of the underworld, and Baridegi—their mother and ruler of the realm of death—was the supreme constellation empowering Yeriel now.
The blade-like trees surrounded Agatha, ready to shred him should he move even slightly.
“Hah…”
Agatha let out a low laugh at the sight.
Then, with a faint smile, he stepped forward.
“Truly, your comrades are impressive.”
He flicked one of the sharp blades with his fingertip, drawing a thin line of blood from his index finger.
“And terribly annoying obstacles.”
Unbothered by the bleeding, he tilted his head and eyed both me and Yeriel.
“I take back my offer.”
His mood had clearly soured.
His twisted smile began to tremble slightly at the edges.
“Wendy. I’ll kill all those who’ve distracted you from seeing me.”
Golden energy began swirling around Agatha, forming like a storm.
The aura surged endlessly—menacing and vast.
This wasn’t normal.
It was on par with—or even beginning to overtake—Yeriel’s Divine Descent.
“I’ll crush them all.”
As he took a step toward me, a brilliant halo appeared above his head.
“…And then—”
Golden light gathered behind his back, forming a pair of radiant wings.
The blades summoned by Yeriel began to melt as they touched the light.
“I will take you.”
His eyes shimmered with brilliance more dazzling than gold.
This power—
Divine Descent.
[The constellation ‘Vanguard of Heaven’ gazes upon his avatar.]
Just like Yeriel, power began flooding into Agatha’s body—now revealing the strength of a constellation hidden until now.
The power of one of the Three Great Archangels, Michael.
“Struggle all you want.”
A golden blade, like a ray of light, formed in Agatha’s hand.
“You won’t escape.”
The overwhelming pressure surrounding him made it feel as if Michael himself were staring down at us.
My head went blank from sheer fear.
Can we win?
Trying to gather my thoughts in the face of the unbelievable scene, I quickly called out—
“Yeriel, this is…”
Too dangerous.
But I swallowed the rest of the words.
Yeriel’s eyes made it clear—he wasn’t in a state to listen.
Then…
What do I do?
If Xenon, Darwin, or the others were still in fighting condition, it might have been different.
But Yeriel alone could never defeat Agatha.
Not to mention the Apostles positioned behind him.
Even with both in Divine Descent, a battle between Michael and Baridegi was never an even match.
Worse, Divine Descent lasted only a few minutes.
While Agatha had just entered his, Yeriel’s blonde hair was already beginning to return—signaling his was fading.
At this rate, it was too dangerous.
I have to stop this…
If the two clashed like this, it wouldn’t just be Yeriel’s life at risk.
The entire Western Flower Field could collapse under the immense shock—comparable to when an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs on ancient Earth.
The space itself might vanish without a trace.
“I’ll try to negotiate and stall for time, so Yeriel, please take the others and—”
I tried to reason, but Yeriel smiled gently.
“Wendy.”
Then slowly shook his head.
“I told you, I would protect you.”
The short divine blade in Yeriel’s hand pointed directly at Agatha, who wielded a colossal sword.
“I will protect you until my last breath.”
Swaaash—
“Because that’s what I’ve wanted to do since the moment we met.”
With every swing of Yeriel’s blade, the summoned swords seemed to dance, alive with purpose.
“Who dares judge me?”
But Agatha, smirking coldly, swung his sword slowly.
“Justice is defined by me.”
The radiant light unleashed from Agatha’s blade melted Yeriel’s summoned swords in vain.
A blinding brilliance, as if punishing the entire world, surged forward.
It was so intense, I couldn’t help but tremble.
This battle had never been fair.
That man was simply too powerful.
That’s why he approached us with such confidence.
And I—so foolishly—hoped for a miracle.
As always, I thought somehow we’d survive.
That somehow, it would all work out…
Such arrogance.
‘I was wrong.’
I’m not the protagonist of this place.
I’m just someone who happened to survive by chance.
The real protagonist is someone who shines even when alone—someone favored by the gods.
…Someone like Agatha.
I knew this day would come eventually.
I knew it…
And yet, the helplessness made my legs give out, and my lips trembled.
At this rate, Yeriel would…
Just as dreadful thoughts began to spiral—
“Hell that judges the one who committed unjust deception.”
Yeriel’s calm chant, paired with the sound of a bell.
At the same time, a great shadowy shroud engulfed Agatha.
“Hell of Darkness, imprison the sinner.”
[Underworld, the Tenth Hell of the Ten Kings. Hell of Darkness descends upon the mortal realm.]
The cost of drawing such overwhelming power—Yeriel began to weep bloody tears.
The dark veil, now forming a massive black sphere, began shrinking—threatening to devour Agatha whole.
“Sir Agatha!”
Sensing danger, the Apostles charged forward.
They pounded against the dark sphere swallowing Agatha.
But the shroud absorbed every impact without the slightest tremor, like a darkness that devours all.
Yeriel’s trembling hand rang the bell again, blood trickling down from the corners of his lips.
It almost felt like Agatha had truly been defeated.
But…
[That day will come like a thief.]
The worst man in the world—
[On that day, the heavens will vanish with a great noise.]
Could never disappear that easily.
[The heavenly bodies will burn and melt.]
The shadowy veil split open, and a great radiance shot toward the sky.
[The earth and all things upon it shall be no more.]
A massive blade surged up, aiming for the exhausted Yeriel.
Agatha’s breath was ragged, his expression now twisted into something monstrous.
“Because of you, I used up over half of the hope I’d gathered.”
The usual soft smile—
His gentle voice—
Shattered completely.
“So I’ll erase you without a trace in return.”
Maybe he no longer needed the mask.
Or maybe the patience he’d been suppressing finally ran dry.
Agatha’s rage was terrifying—enough to make the air shake.
The giant blade fell toward Yeriel.
Grinding my teeth, I forced my legs to rise even as they tried to give out.
“Yeriel!”
My body moved on its own—before I could even think.
I gripped the shabby dagger I once gifted to Xenon, and rushed toward the sword like a moth to flame.
“Wendy, run, a…way…”
Even as he was too weak to move, Yeriel stretched out a hand, telling me not to come.
But I ignored it and flailed forward.
Because as a villainous extra, this was all I could do.
— reaxxx: Why is it always the weakest, like Wendy, who survives only to suffer more?
— yonxxxx: Wendy, please just don’t die.
— ronxxxx: I believe in Wendy.
— quexxx: Only you can do it.
[You have gained favor from 80 observers.]
[Total accumulated favor: 760]
As I charged ahead, countless comment windows floated into view.
Most were worried remarks about how fragile I am.
But I knew—they were all cheering for me.
“…Wendy Porcelain?”
Just as I neared Agatha’s startled face—
[Sorry, Wendy.]
Something strange happened.
[I actually wanted to stay with you a little longer.]
A warm, familiar light enveloped me.
[Thank you.]
It was so bright, I couldn’t even see.
