My true body still exists within the lofty heavens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, my face twisted in irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after using Wol-ah like a puppet this entire time, now that her usefulness had ended, he planned to abandon her body and return to Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sticky black energy began flowing from the black sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The experience of the Demon of the End taking over my body was still vivid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he handled demonic energy, and the way he fused Authorities together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when the Demon of the End seized my body, my physical condition had already been no better than a rag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even my mana had been completely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite that, he still overwhelmed Sandalphon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Sandalphon had only drawn upon a fragment of his true body’s power as well, but the important thing was this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bastard used my own powers better than I did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recalled the sensation of how he controlled the Demonic Authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, I had only been using a fraction of my power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because from the very beginning, I had never truly understood the skill Lamb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The SS-rank skill Lamb wasn’t merely an ability that lent me demonic power and transformed me into a Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lamb’s true nature was a prison sealing away the Demon of the End—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And an ocean containing his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason I could use demonic energy without making a contract with a Demon was because all the demonic energy I used came from the Demon of the End sleeping inside Lamb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought about the difference between his strength and mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon of the End consumed no mana when drawing upon demonic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even the quality of the demonic energy itself was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the demonic energy I pulled from Lamb was like purified water, then the energy he used was closer to pristine, untouched spring water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was impossible for me to instantly use demonic energy as pure as the Demon of the End’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the remnants of the pure demonic energy he had used still remained within me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop spouting bullshit and get out of Wol-ah’s body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black sword overflowing with dense demonic energy sliced through the thread connecting Sandalphon and Wol-ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, light exploded from Wol-ah’s body, and an enormous pillar of light burst forth with a deafening crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandalphon’s consciousness was returning to his true body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I just let him go like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the one who possessed Wol-ah’s body and tried to kill me in order to destroy the Demon of the End.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drew upon the abyssal mana left behind by the Demon of the End.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy was several times denser than ordinary demonic energy, and a strange exhilaration surged through me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black sword became imbued with a completely different kind of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Authority, Sky Cleaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic invisible slash tore through the pillar of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beam ascending toward the sky was severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t be certain, but the beam rapidly began fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately turned my attention back toward Wol-ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her matured body had reverted to that of a young child again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I carefully reached down to pick her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to, but failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is insane…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wol-ah’s body was unbelievably hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her breathing was so faint it seemed like it could stop at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body couldn’t withstand the backlash from accepting too much of Sandalphon’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to use the Power of Restoration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to an Angel like Wol-ah, demonic power was practically poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even being touched by the light emitted by Angels caused stinging pain, so there was no way demonic power would work on her no matter how restorative it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What am I supposed to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I didn’t do something immediately, Wol-ah’s breathing would stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly why I’d tried to regain control from the Demon of the End as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I hadn’t been controlled by the Demon of the End in the first place—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time to drown in guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slammed my fist into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, my eyes caught sight of the Halo floating above Wol-ah’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is……?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the object that allowed Wol-ah’s body to withstand Sandalphon’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it had been destroyed during the exchange of final attacks with Sandalphon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that thing, Sandalphon had been able to unleash even greater power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because traces of the Demon of the End’s energy still remained within me—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could clearly understand the structure of the Halo in a way I normally never could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the power should have poured directly into the body, but the Halo seemed to act as a filter that slowed the burden down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could I use this somehow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if I used the Halo to extract the remaining power still left inside Wol-ah’s body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handling an Angel’s divine power with a body closer to a Demon was madness—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was still worth trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached out and grabbed Wol-ah’s Halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sssssss—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An agonizing pain shot through my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately regretted my decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, I didn’t let go of the Halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Halo as a filter, I began extracting the remnants of Sandalphon’s power from Wol-ah’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining divine power started condensing into the Halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gghhhh……!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the pain caused by divine power far surpassed ordinary suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine power naturally attacked demonic energy, so merely touching it felt like being poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this wasn’t the power of some ordinary Angel—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It belonged to the Archangel Sandalphon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already nearly died and come back alive, and my body was practically in tatters already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I healed Wol-ah, I’d probably need several weeks of recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Halo began emitting enough energy to look ready to explode at any second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine power trying to invade my body like deadly poison intensified the agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I couldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see Wol-ah’s body slowly stabilizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Halo, now gathering the last remnants of Sandalphon’s power, became engulfed in radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light exploded outward and swallowed my entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body, already pushed beyond its limits after barely surviving death, couldn’t withstand the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, my consciousness faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheonji of Mount Baekdu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space distorted, and a black vortex formed into a portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure stepped out from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Heavenly Demon, who had threatened Malphas and hurried back to her residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the portal appeared Malphas, the crow-headed Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please do not worry. Heavenly Demon-nim, the Devil Knight is safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon’s gaze turned toward Malphas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, she had reduced Pandemonium’s sanctuary to utter ruin, and even now an ominous Aura poured from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense killing intent filled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There had better not be even the slightest lie in those words. Otherwise, I will rip off that beak and shove it straight through your skull.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving her killing intent head-on, Malphas swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malphas possessed almost no combat ability, but he was still a high-ranking Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet even he felt fear before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is she really even human?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malphas had witnessed everything the Heavenly Demon did inside Pandemonium’s sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though their master had weakened, the Heavenly Demon still confronted his power head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, hadn’t the leader of Pandemonium avoided clashing directly against her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Malphas considered it fortunate the Heavenly Demon knew nothing about Yoo Sung-woo’s destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she ever learned Yoo Sung-woo was both the sacrifice and vessel meant to resurrect the Demon of the End—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even imagine what kind of chaos she would unleash by storming Pandemonium’s sanctuary using her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Though I must admit, it does make me curious. If it didn’t involve Pandemonium, I would’ve enjoyed watching from the sidelines.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that, Malphas disappeared back through the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon did not stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immense mana erupted from her as her Aura perception spread endlessly outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Yoo Sung-woo and Wol-ah entered her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were at Cheonji atop Mount Baekdu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old memory suddenly surfaced in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory of retrieving Wol-ah under the orders of Pandemonium’s leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bizarre dimension filled with gigantic Guardians, countless soldiers, and even divine beasts—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A troublesome place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A question arose in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why would my disciple and Wol-ah go there?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though puzzled, she had no time to dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a violent sonic boom, her figure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon instantly arrived where Yoo Sung-woo and Wol-ah were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The state of Cheonji was catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked as though dozens of gigantic bombs had detonated there, completely unlike the Cheonji she remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze found Wol-ah and Yoo Sung-woo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them moved at all, as though dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, the Heavenly Demon’s pupils shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, it felt as though her heart had dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long had it been since she felt emotions this intense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With trembling hands, she touched Wol-ah and Yoo Sung-woo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, both were still breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sigh of relief escaped her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither of them was in good condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their state, her expression twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she intended not to involve herself in Pandemonium’s affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet because of that, her disciple had nearly died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Now that I think about it, both the leader and that crow Demon looked as though they knew something.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she couldn’t rough them up like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had lost control because she thought her disciple had died, but she still needed Pandemonium’s help if she wished to return to her homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant she should target weaker and more manageable prey instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of Pandemonium’s High-ranking Executives flashed through her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Originally, I accepted that title merely to avoid troublesome matters. Yet now the time has come to make use of it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the moment the Heavenly Demon decided to directly interfere in Pandemonium’s affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I opened my eyes after being struck by the exploding Halo’s light, I found myself inside a completely white space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feels like every time I faint and wake up, I end up somewhere different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, it was the abyss-like world of Lamb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now this pure white space covered in light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, is there an Angel sealed in here too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that, I looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was nothing to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only pure white in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though I was the only thing in this place possessing any color besides white itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it…… doesn’t this place resemble the barrier created by The Reader—no, the Guardian’s Sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden whisper directly beside my ear made me flinch violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately threw myself forward and turned toward the one who whispered to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome man dressed in a white suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wore a playful smile and somehow looked strangely familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hero statue I saw back at the Academy…… didn’t it look exactly like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re Baek Hyun-joong……?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That answer is also correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was that person standing in front of me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind couldn’t keep up with the sudden situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I was about to question him, he raised a finger to his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I cannot answer your questions.
