Side Story Chapter 188 - The World Without Law (8)
“Mommy, what’s that?”
A child walking on the street with a lollipop in their mouth pulled on their mother’s hand.
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“Up there.”
The child pointed up at the white Rift in the sky.
“Huh...?”
The mother widened her eyes. The sky was broken—it would sound crazy on its own, but nothing else could describe the situation better. A white Rift, similar to a shattered mirror, covered the sky.
“F-Follow me!! Now!!”
The mother did not stay dumbfounded and pulled her child by her hand to run into a nearby department store. Everyone around them also got off the streets instead of screaming madly. They had already learned what to do in abnormal situations after experiencing the Day of Calamity.
“Guardians!! Call Guardians!!”
“What the hell is Guardians gonna do?! That’s not a Gate!!”
They had a point; Gates formed slightly above the ground and never far above them in the sky.
“How big... is that thing?”
It was pointless to use kilometers as a unit of measurement. The Rift was massive enough to cover nearly half of Earth.
Thud, thud.
“M-Mommy... Something’s falling.”
The child with the lollipop pointed toward the department store entrance. Tiny rocks were falling from the sky like hail.
“H-Huh...?”
It was only the start of the disaster. As the white rift grew larger, bigger rocks began to fall. They started as fingernail-sized but grew to fist-sized and eventually to the size of a person’s head. And then...
RUMBLE—!!!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!”
“H-HELP—!!!”
Rocks bigger than buildings poured down. Not only rocks but a mix of white buildings shaped like dice, vegetation, and water poured with them. That wasn’t all.
SPLAT—!!
“KYAAAAAAAAAHHH!!”
People fell from the sky and turned to mush as they fell to the ground. Limbs, intestines, and brain matter splattered as they exploded.
BOOM—!
“M-Monsters!! Monsters are falling too!!!”
“Those... aren’t m-monsters, they’re demons!!! I’ve seen them before during the Demon Cult incident!!”
Demons and demonic beasts also fell from the sky but the demons among them acted peculiarly.
[A-Aaaahh. S-Stop them.]
[As th-the king c-commands.]
[I want to... go back.]
The demons flew to the larger rocks to block them with their body, minimizing damage to buildings and people. However, it was only a matter of time. The disaster falling from the sky was too great.
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!”
“R-RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!”
“HURRY, HURRY—!!”
Screams rang throughout Earth. The stench of blood and gunpowder filled the air. Fires blazed everywhere. It was truly the Apocalypse.
“A-Aaaahh.”
“For the Almighty Akart!!!”
Roars echoed throughout the area. Akart’s retainers charged toward Kang-Woo.
Schwing.
“Don’t you dare...!”
White frost swept the surroundings and a wall made of ice appeared in front of the Soldiers of Light. A frowning Si-Hun stood in front of the wall to protect Kang-Woo.
“Kurgh! Karghh!! Arghh!!” Kang-Woo grunted.
“Hyung...”
Si-Hun looked back at Kang-Woo, writhing in pain as he frantically restrained Akart, in pallor. His body was burning from the Primordial Light as his powers were almost empty. An endless cycle of his skin’s destruction and regeneration ensued and black blood endlessly poured out of his mouth.
“Kurgh...!”
Si-Hun clenched his sword. Even in the dire situation, he was unable to help Kang-Woo.
“Keep it together, Si-Hun.” Layla placed her hand on Si-Hun’s shoulder. “We have to put our trust in Kang-Woo... and buy as much time for him as possible.”
Kang-Woo was using all of his strength to hold Akart. He was practically dangling from a cliff with one finger— everything would be over if a Soldier of Light did so much as to even touch him.
Yeon-Joo also protected Kang-Woo in panic. “H-Hey! Oh Kang-Woo! You’re okay, right?!”
“Kurgh... A-Arghh. Gaaaaaaaahhh!!”
But of course, Kang-Woo couldn’t answer.
“A-Aaaahh. K-Kang-Woo.”
Seol-Ah trembled in pallor. It had been a while since she had seen Kang-Woo make such an expression. His leisurely smile, as if nothing was a complication to him, was gone.
‘He’s making the same face... as the one we saw back then.’
His expression overlapped with the one she had seen through Lilith’s Trait— back when he had frantically struggled in the Ninth Hell.
Ba-dump.
Seol-Ah’s heart beat faster. The twelve wings on her back grew even darker.
“A-Arghh.”
She was overcome with fear— not because Earth would be destroyed if the Rift were fully opened, but because she might lose Kang-Woo.
“No...”
‘NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONOONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO.’
“That is... unacceptable.”
Flutter!
She sprouted her twelve wings widely. Black feathers fell like snow— snowflakes infused with horrible curses. The Apostles of Light who made contact with the fluttering black feathers dried up like mummies.
“ARGHH!!” the retainers of Akart shouted. “SHE’S A WITCH!! KILL THAT WITCH FIRST!!!”
The witch with black wings slowly walked toward them.
“No one...”
The whites of Seol-Ah’s eyes turned black and her irises turned gold. Her pupils stretched horizontally like those of a goat and gazed into the apostles’ souls.
“Can touch him.”
The only one who could touch him, caress him, and embrace him was—
“Only I can touch him.”
It was her privilege— her right— as the one who had promised to spend eternity with Kang-Woo.
“Don’t you dare...”
Black feathers infused with curses danced in the air.
“Touch Kang-Woo with those filthy hands.”
The black-winged witch stared at the Soldiers of Light with lifeless eyes.
