Chapter 235: The Archangel’s Proposal (Part 2)
Gabriel’s hand flashed, and an item appeared. It was an old-looking book with a large purple gem embedded in it.
[Take this.]
Soso took the book and looked into the gem. He thought he saw something moving inside it, but when he looked again, there was nothing.
‘Was it my imagination?’
“What is this strange book?”
[It’s a kind of warp device. If you place it on a player and recite the activation words, you can forcibly transport them to the Celestial Realm.]
“To the Celestial Realm?”
Gabriel nodded and got to the main point.
[Attach this to Black Scythe, say the activation words, and you can bring him here to the Celestial Realm. Just like you, he will be disqualified as a player.]
“Oh...”
[So? If you do as I say and bring Black Scythe here, you can eliminate him from the round. You don’t want him to go on to the 20th round and get his wish granted, do you?]
Soso silently nodded. If things continued as they were, Black Scythe would win, just as Gabriel said. There was no way Soso could stand to see that happen.
“But why do you want me to bring Black Scythe here?”
[He has committed a very, very serious crime that has disturbed the order of the Celestial Realm. So he must come here and be properly punished.]
“What kind of punishment...?”
[You don’t need to know the details. Just know that it will be so painful, he’ll wish he were dead. I’ll take care of your revenge for you, so don’t worry. All you have to do is warp him here.]
“If I do that, you’ll keep your promise and remove me from the survival game too, right?”
[Of course. Once Black Scythe is dealt with, I’ll revoke your player status too. You won’t have to fight in the survival game anymore. You can live as an ordinary person.]
Soso hesitated for a moment, imagining the peaceful life he could return to. The opportunity to both exact revenge on Black Scythe and escape the deadly game was too good to pass up.
“I’ll do it.”
Soso made his decision, fully aware that this was an opportunity that would never come again.
Just as the next round was about to begin, Soso found himself back on the grasslands.
Gabriel had warped him back to the Mortal Realm.
‘I’m back. This wasn’t a dream, was it?’
It was no dream. His inventory now contained the book he had received from the angel, solid proof of what had happened.
[Item: ??? ??? ???]
-Category: Consumable
-Rating: God
-Effect: ??? ??? activates ??? ??? ???
-Usage restriction: Master level and above
-Description: This item allows the user to transport a target within a 10-meter radius to the Celestial Realm. Other players who witness the warp will be stunned for 1 minute, unable to move.
‘I can’t read half of this.’
Perhaps because it was an item from the Celestial Realm, some of the text was garbled and unreadable by the system. The only clear things were that it was a consumable item and that it was classified as a “God”-grade item.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen something rated as God-level... It must be extremely powerful.’
All he had to do now was bring this item close to Black Scythe’s body and recite the activation words. He’d memorized the phrase several times over, so there was no chance of forgetting it.
The only problem was whether he’d actually be able to pull it off against someone as dangerous as Black Scythe.
‘I have to try. Worst-case scenario, I might get caught... Oh, wait. Aren’t we in the same party?’
Party members couldn’t kill each other.
Soso’s grin widened as the realization hit him.
At the very least, he wouldn’t die if he failed.
‘So all I have to do is get close. This is easier than I thought.’
It was starting to seem like a much simpler task than he’d initially feared.
‘I’ll hold out until the tenth wave, just to be safe.’
With a sly smile, Soso slipped into the crowd, his mind set on executing his plan during the chaos of the final wave.
