Heavenly Demon Instructor Novel

Chapter 144

142

Luciel was dispatched to Asteria by order of the High Priest.

It was very, very annoying.

Dispatch to other planets was a mission given only to the lowest or ordinary family of angels.

It was not a task that would come down to him as heir to the Lu family, one of the 12 prestigious families.

However, the High Priesthood is an existence above the 12 families.

He was a great angel who could even be described as a king, if it were to be said.

No matter how heir to the 12 families, he would have been severely punished for refusing to do his duty.

[This is why I only have to go out for dispatch.]

With a sigh, Luciel looked over the land of Asteria, protected by the vast heavens.

[Still, seeing beautiful things makes me feel at ease. Not quite as much as Sephiroth.]

Asteria was not as good as Sanctuary Sephiroth, but it was a wonderful world where the greenery was alive.

The smell of dewy green vegetation has calmed even the picky Luciel, what more can I say?

[This is not the time to be like this.]

Luciel headed to the royal castle of Asteria for his mission.

The high priest’s order was to receive a ‘disaster of enthusiasm’ from the king of Asteria.

The disaster of enthusiasm was a powerful celestial weapon lent to Asteria by the Sanctuary Sephiroth long ago.

The reason had to do with the myth of Asteria, but I wasn’t interested in that.

A myth is a mixture of exaggerations anyway, and whatever the cause, it is enough to return the disaster of enthusiasm.

[It was quite prosperous.]

The capital of Asteria has blossomed a brilliant civilization as much as its long history.

The combination of magic and science made Asteria even more dazzling, and the highly developed civilization enriched the lives of Asteria.

Luciel descended to the entrance to Asteria’s Royal Castle.

The soldiers guarding the entrance were alert to his sudden appearance.

“Who are you?”

“Appearing from heaven, are you a foreigner?”

Seeing the soldiers holding out the blue light of the changgeuk, Luciel was stunned.

[Cute, do you dare point a weapon at this body at a human subject?]

“Hey, reveal your identity!”

The soldier was startled by Luciel’s pressure, but the responsibility was different as he was given the task of protecting the castle gate.

[Courage is imaginary.]

“affection… … identity… … .”

[It stopped. It’s not that I hate people like you, call the king.]

Luciel placed his arms crossed and arrogantly looked down from the sky and gave an order.

His soldiers had no choice but to sit down at the sight.

They don’t know that Luciel is an angel, but Asteria is a world protected by a vast heaven.

The hierarchies between the races were engraved into their DNA.

‘If you think about it, it’s strange. If you saw a being like me, you wouldn’t have known that I was an angel.’

Hundreds of years have passed since the heavens have not interfered with Asteria, but even so, they should not have been ignorant.

This was like a dog not recognizing its owner.

[The King of Asteria, come before me and obey the command of the vast heavens!!]

Luciel shouted loudly enough to put a blood on his neck.

There was a strong force in the voice that spread throughout the capital.

An ordinary human was to the point of kneeling down the street.

What about the soldiers in front of you?

“Huh!”

“ね… … !”

They grabbed their chests and collapsed.

The cry of a higher being.Even though it was only that, the lower beings were bound to weaken.

And soon after, the gates opened and an old man in a red cloak rushed in.

The old man couldn’t even fix the crooked crown and found Luciel floating in the sky.

“Huh!”

Then, looking at him with a suffocating expression, he hurriedly knelt down on his knees.

“Wow, the subjects of the vast heavens see the great angel.”

[Still, the king recognizes it.]

“So, I’m sorry.”

[Became. It’s me, I just need to get what I need and go.]

“If you say you need it… … ?”

The king raised his head in a prone position.

[I came to recover the disaster of enthusiasm.]

“?!”

The king’s face filled with embarrassment.

Luciel furrowed one eyebrow.

[What is that expression?]

“Wow, why is the disaster of enthusiasm… … .”

[You don’t know. Give it to me.]

“Bar, returning it is not a problem, but can you delay the deadline a bit?”

[what?]

As Luciel knows, he’s been told that it’s been over 5,000 years since he loaned out the Cataclysm of Mania.

He must have used it as much as he could use it.

It was absurd to come to Inje and ask for a delay.

Did I even break it?

‘It’s absurd. How could a human destroy a heavenly thing?’

Luciel looked up at the sky.

The High Priest did not specifically say when to bring it.

He just wanted to finish his work quickly and return home.

He didn’t want to be cruel to him though.

Asteria is one of the few worlds that is protected by the vast heavens.

In other words, it could be said that the sacred tree Sephiroth was a cherished place.

[I’ll have to ask why. Why are you asking for a longer return period?]

“I beg your pardon, an invader has appeared.”

[what? aggressor?]

In Asteria, the entire planet was one nation.

So, if it was an aggressor, it was an existence from outer space.

Who dares fearlessly invade this land under the protection of the vast heavens?

“He introduced himself as King. Then he built portals all over the planet.”

[portal? Please tell me what kind of portal it is.]

“A portal infested with monsters is coming. If you don’t attack it, it will open up and everything inside will be ejected outward. It must have been a disaster.”

Several cities have already been captured.

Surrounding large cities, including the capital, had sufficient troops and excellent defenses, so there was no damage, but this was only a matter of time.

“A portal has been created in Loa, city #3. It is on a different scale than before, and the monsters in it also descend beyond imagination. It is impossible to attack unless it is a disaster of enthusiasm.”

Luciel closed his eyes and spread his divine powers across the planet.

Asteria was not a big planet, so it was possible with his abilities.

[indeed.]

Evil hordes of divine power were captured one after another.

A peculiar thing called a portal, too.

And at one point, consciousness stopped.

It was in the middle of the 3rd city, Loa.

[…] … If something like this opens up, it won’t end with a riot.]

It was a black, huge portal.

If something that reaches to the sky is opened, it will not end enough to destroy a city.

‘There is a reason why the high priest sent me here.’

Even in a highly developed civilized country with Asteria, there were obvious limitations.

[I’ll help you with this.]

“Are you really here?”

The king was astonished.

I didn’t know that an angel would come out to help.

Who are the angels of the vast heavenly sanctuary Sephiroth?

Although the people forgot its existence, their myth continued as far as the royal family.

A race with the power to destroy a single world.

A race that exists to punish all evil.

They are angels!

“If the Great One helps us, we will be wounded for the rest of our lives!”

[Okay, guide me.]

I don’t know what the king is doing, but he’ll regret having it on himself and not on anyone else.

* * *

[At the time, I didn’t think it would be particularly dangerous.]

“So you thought that you would be enough alone?”

[I usually think so.]

Carbon smirked at that dignifiedness.

“He said he was an invader from outer space. There is a king.”

[right.]

“If it’s a force enough to travel around the universe, don’t you get a sense of it, chicken head?”

[Chicken head?? Do you really want to die?]

“Try to kill me.”

A spark flew between Luciel and Carbon.

Park Hyunsoo shook his head.

“Both of you stop. Is now the time to fight for nonsensical reasons?”

“But you stupid bastard!”

[Without this frizzy hair… … A man who is not cheap!]

“stop.”

Park Hyunsoo coldly lowered his eyes and gave him one final warning.

The angel and the wizard stared at each other, then snorted and turned their heads.

Not even a ten-year-old kid.

Fighting was terribly childish.

“What has happened since then?”

[It was not difficult to attack the portal.]

No matter how much an S-class portal was, it was just a toy in front of the Transcendent.

Unless it’s a special case where rituals are boss monsters like ‘Paradise’.

[I defeated that place and attacked the dangerous portal with my own strength. The incident occurred about a month after I arrived in Asteria.]

* * *

[huh. It’s nothing.]

Luciel was sitting on the shell of a smashed giant tortoise.

It was very refreshing.

He was a tough opponent for humans, and it was very easy for him, an angel with two pairs of wings.

On the one hand, the Asterians who were threatened by this were pitiful.I don’t have the strength, so I’m not being victimized by such garbage.

[It’s understandable that it’s the king’s army.]

It would have invaded by picking only weak planets.

It was absurdly pitiful.

As a member of the great 12 families, it was unacceptable to believe in such a powerless thing.

[I’m not going to finish everything.]

Luciel came out of the portal looking at the disappearing other world.

When he came out, the king and his servants were waiting for him.

“You have suffered.”

[It’s easy. Where’s next?]

“Most of the dangerous things have been dealt with by the Great. We can finish the little things, so you can rest.”

[Then guide us to the King’s army.]

“Yeah?!”

At Luciel’s order, King Asteria was greatly embarrassed.

He didn’t like it.

[What was the reaction?]

“Ha ha ha, it is dangerous to go there alone, even if you are a great man.”

[You are worrying about everything. This body hates bragging, so I didn’t say it, but I am the heir to Lu, one of the 12 families in heaven.]

“Huh!”

The king also knew the twelve heavenly families.

I don’t know the details, but I knew that they were the actual owners of the Sanctuary Sephiroth.

In the yard to look up to even an ordinary angel, it is safe to say that the successor of such a place is a divine existence.

[Not too bad.]

Luciel shrugged his shoulders for some reason at the awe-filled face of the king.

[Guide. This I will dare to strike the head of the one who invaded this land protected by heaven.]

“I will obey your orders.”

The king led Luciel to the land where the king’s army was supposed to be.

The army was not on the ground.

They had established their own other world beyond the atmosphere.

This is why it was not sensed by the divine power.

[It’s funny. Everyone step back.]

There was no need to waste time.

That’s right, another world created by someone like you.

[Disappear!!]

As the halo became huge, the crusade unfolded.

Luciel opened his mouth wide.

An explosion of golden divine power erupted around his body.

The strongest technique for condemning evil.

The ‘Secripais God’ swept the heavens and the earth.

――――――――――――――――!!!!!!!!!

A huge hole with a huge crack in the other world was pierced by an intense divine beam.

The other world inside was enveloped in a dazzling light.

Everything went back to nothing.

The king’s army is gone!!

… … It would have been nice if it had been the same development.

[Light has been swallowed up by death, and countless plagues have engulfed the world. It has become a world full of all kinds of diseases and terrible violence.]

Luciel said with a calm face.

[Asteria was destroyed in one day.]

Park Hyunsoo, Carbon, and Haxen looked at him with dark faces.
