Chapter 308: The Moon Goes Down
Calm down for now. Dont get too excited.
Oh Kang-Woo gripped his trembling chest and took deep breaths. It was a historical moment that took ten millennia to arrive. He had honestly hoped to enjoy the opportunity in a more romantic atmosphere, but such idiotic thoughts had long since gone out the window now that the opportunity was actually in front of him.
An intense heat spread through him.
Seol-Ah.
He looked over at Han Seol-Ah, who was eyeing him with a mad gleam in her eyes. He felt like she would devour him if he did nothing, but he couldnt let that happen.
The goal above all else is to stop Seol-Ahs fall.
He had no dirty intention of taking advantage of the situation to go to the moon with her.
Yeah, this is just CPR.
It was nothing more than medical treatment to stop Seol-Ahs fall from grace. He had no choice but to do it. He was planning on taking a very wholesome stance, just like a doctor saving their patient or a devotee praying to their god.
"Did something good happen, Kang-Woo?" Seol-Ah asked.
"Huh? Ah, mm."
His mouth seemed to have curled up without him even realizing it. He coughed while averting his gaze from Seol-Ah. The gears in his head turned in overdrive.
I cant act rashly right away.
Everything had a course that needed to be taken. He couldnt just dive straight into it.
First, Ill satiate Seol-Ahs desires with sweet words.
Now that Kang-Woo knew that her body was closer to that of an angel and that the target of her obsession was him, it was not hard to guess what her desires were.
Just like with Uriel
No, it was actually easier than with Uriel, since his obsession over affection had not developed enough to make him fall from grace.
Kang-Woo slowly opened his mouth, "Seol-Ah."
"Yes, Kang-Woo?"
"Youve been lonely since I havent been able to spend much time with you lately, right?" he said in a warm voice.
Seol-Ah nodded and hugged his head.
"Yes I was so, so lonely. But theres no need to worry anymore. After all, there is no way that will ever happen again."
Seol-Ah smiled widely and embraced Kang-Woo with her twelve wings flickering black.
"From now until the end of time well always be together," she whispered sweetly.
Kang-Woo nodded calmly. "Yeah, lets be together forever."
"A-Aaaahh!" Seol-Ah trembled. She then exclaimed in ecstasy, "So you wanted that too!"
Kang-Woo lifted his arms wrapped in chains and asked, "Sorry, but could you undo these?"
"Th-Thats"
"I want to touch you, Seol-Ah."
"Ill undo them right away.
Clunk.
His arms were freed from the chains. Kang-Woo caressed Seol-Ahs back.
"Hehehe," she smiled.
Although it was only a little, he noticed that the flickering had slowed down.
Okay.
His actions were proven to be effective. If so he pulled Seol-Ah toward him and kissed her. Although his kiss wasnt as intense as hers, it was still intense enough for their emotions to be properly delivered to each other. Seol-Ahs wings were flapping in delight.
"Seol-Ah."
"Y-Yes, Kang-Woo?"
"What did you hear from Uriel?"
"" Seol-Ahs expression crumpled when she heard the name. She said in a voice filled with bloodlust, "He said that I cant make you happy because I cant protect you."
She bit her lip. "Isnt that ridiculous? He talked as if he were your lover when your lover is m-me. Dont you agree, Kang-Woo?"
Seol-Ah stared at him in madness.
"Yeah. That brat was out of line. He knows nothing about our relationship," Kang-Woo said without hesitation.
He understood what Uriel had meant, but he couldnt defend Uriel at the momenthe had to take Seol-Ahs side no matter what.
"Th-Thats right! A kid who doesnt know anything about our relationship said that!" Seol-Ahs expression brightened, and she nodded furiously.
Good.
Things were off to a good start.
Now
It was time to smooth things over.
"I dont really understand why you being unable to protect me leads to me being unhappy, though."
"Because thats how much danger youre in"
"No," Kang-Woo firmly shook his head.
His saying that he actually wasnt in any danger and that Uriel was wrong would be completely pointless, since that was not the answer she truly wanted.
"Me being in danger and you being unable to make me happy are completely unrelated," Kang-Woo stated.
Hed dealt with all sorts of crazy beings while ruling over the Nine Hells as the demon king.
"Its true that Im in danger and so is the fact that I might die at any second."
"Th-Then"
"But no matter how much danger Im in, Ive never once thought that I was unhappy."
Dealing with such crazy beings was simpleyou just had to give them what they wanted to see and hear.
"Seol-Ah." He touched her cheeks and did his best to avoid cringing. "Just being with you makes me happy."
"Ah"
"Theres no need for you to protect me. You just have to stay by my side."
"L-Liar!! Youve wanted to be with that kid angel more than with me this whole time!" Seol-Ah exclaimed temperamentally. "Ive waited for you every single day until late at night even until past midnight, but you never came back. I had waited for you without missing a single day, but not even once! You must be lying when you say that youre happy just from being with me!"
Rumble!
An explosive noise akin to thunder sounded. The apartment shook as if it were about to collapse. No, Seoul itself was shaking due to her influence.
Kang-Woos face paled.
Just how fucking strong is she?
He was truly shocked by Seraphs power, which was strong enough to shake an entire city.
Seol-Ah put her hand on Kang-Woos shoulder and continued, "You have to look only at me. Love only me, talk to only me, and touch only me. Understood?"
"Seol-Ah."
"You dont have to worry." Her crazed eyes shifted to Kang-Woo. She pushed him back down on the bed and got on top of him.
"Ill do anything you want, Kang-Woo. You can just stay right here without doing a thing. If you do" Seol-Ah slowly caressed Kang-Woos cheek.
"Ill make the kimchi stew you love every single day and feed it to you right here. Ill change your clothes for you. You dont even have to go to the bathroom. Oh, Ill move the TV to your room so that you dont get bored. Ill buy you a bed table so you can use the computer here as well. And, and, and" Seol-Ah leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Ill even let you do the thing that lovers do any time, as much as you like. Fufu. I may not look like it, but I practiced it a bunch without you knowing. I can show you an amazing time even while youre lying still."
Kang-Woo remained silent, and all sorts of thoughts crossed his mind.
Itd be fine if I just let her fall, wouldnt it? Hm? A Demon God and a fallen Celestial Goddess sounds like one hell of a couple, doesnt it?
Whether her wings were black or white, wasnt it fine as long as she was fundamentally Seol-Ah?
Kang-Woo frantically kept his rampaging urges in check and looked at her back with deep, sunken eyes. Her wings were flickering just as fast as before.
Calm down. Calm down.
He realized that Seol-Ah was in a far worse state than he had thought.
In that case
He just had to use something better.
"Im sorry, Seol-Ah. I didnt know you were having such a hard time."
"Sniff, sniff"
"Ill admit it. Its true that Ive been giving more attention to Uriel than you."
"Urgh." Seol-Ah frowned aggressively.
Kang-Woo forced himself back up and embraced her. "But you know why I had to do that, Seol-Ah."
"B-Because you prefer being with that brat over me"
"Do you really think so?" he asked in a deep voice.
He was sure that she knew that wasnt the caseshed just been ignoring it due to her obsession with keeping him tied up to monopolize him.
"Do you really think I left you alone because I prefer to be with Uriel?"
"If thats not the case"
"If you really think so" Kang-Woo slurred. He needed to take a strong and firm stance. "I think I would be very disappointed."
"N-No! I didnt think so at all!" Seol-Ah shook her head, her face pale.
She had made a complete 180 in an instant, but it didnt matter.
Kang-Woo smiled and continued. "But I do feel its my responsibility that I drove you to the point that you had thought that way. I think Ill have to show you trust."
"No, this is all that b-brats fault. You havent done anything wr"
"No, its my mistake. I shouldve told you this earlier to make sure you can trust me fully."
"Pardon? What do you mean?" Seol-Ah asked.
Kang-Woo put his hand into his pocket. A tiny bit of darkness separated from the Key of the Demonic Sea on his right middle finger. A white ring was made in the blink of an eye, with the name Han Seol-Ah engraved in black writing on it.
"Ive actually prepared this a month ago but I havent been able to find the right time to hand it to you."
" What?"
He took out the white ring and extended it toward Seol-Ah.
"Seol-Ah," He unveiled the trump card that would allow him to fully reverse the situation. "Lets get married."
"!"
Rumble!
An ungodly wave of power shook everything around them. Seol-Ah stuttered, her face turning a concerning shade of red.
"Wh-WhaHuh? M-Married? Huh?"
Kang-Woo smiled, thinking that it had worked.
But thats not enough.
Just words alone would not be able to stop her fall from grace.
Now, rather than talking with words!
It was time to talk with their bodies. He had to melt away the distrust and madness dirtying her heart with his body heat.
"Lets go, lets go, lets go!! Im so ready to go this time!
He had waited far too long and had desired this moment far too much.
Finally finally after ten millennia no, for the first time in his life
Its different from what I did with Lilith!
It was far too painful to consider being attacked by a tentacle monster spewing pus as experience.
No tentacles! Two eyes! No pus! Phenomenal!
Kang-Woo slowly reached out to her while suppressing his tears as much as he could. Just then
"Sniff, sniff"
Along with Seol-Ahs tears
[The energy of Skyfall is weakening!]
[The fall will soon be canceled!]
Huh?
What the fuck?
"Kang-Woo!"
But they havent done it yet.
"Y-Yes! I-Id love to!"
Wait just a goddamn minute. This aint it, chief. Why are you doing this? We still havent talked with our bodies yet, Seol-Ah. This isnt something that can just be resolved with words.
N-No.
Kang-Woo reached out in desperation. Something was going terribly wrong.
It cant succeed already weve only just talked!
They still havent gone to the moon!
Fall! Fall again! Not like thiiiiiis!
[The Seed of Corruption is disappearing!]
Fuuuuuuuuuuck!!! Nooooooooo!
"Lets"tears dripped down Seol-Ahs cheeks"get married."
"Ah" Kang-Woo looked at her twelve wings as they reverted to their usual white color, and cried.
[You have successfully prevented the fall!]
No Not this I didnt want this.
Kang-Woo and Seol-Ah cried while hugging each other until the moon went down and the sun came up.
