“Bring more.”
[More, more?]
“Yes, if you don’t want to die, hurry. I’m itching for a fight.”
[Ah… Yes.]
Carlen did as told, sending another distress signal.
The message was clear: maximum reinforcements were needed.
‘Please, just kill this damn human this time!’
With that desperate hope, she waited, and soon reinforcements appeared.
Five 6th-rank battle angels.
Carlen’s face brightened as if nothing had happened.
‘Good! With this many, we can definitely kill that arrogant human…’
[Aaaagh!]
[Cough cough ack!]
[Kyaaah!]
Screams erupted suddenly.
She hadn’t even seen how many times the scythe was swung.
Just the sight of angels collapsing while spraying golden blood was all that was visible.
“Are you kidding? Call stronger ones. Now.”
Upon hearing Ryu Min’s words, Carlen swallowed hard.
He was clearly no ordinary human.
*
The Akashic Records.
A hyperdimensional compendium of all events in the universe.
One angel had opened the doors to this vast library.
Kurururung-
Although not just anyone could enter, he had the credentials to do so.
After all, he was one of the seven Archangels.
[Remiel, you’ve arrived?]
[Luvaiah.]
Luvaiah was the sentient entity guarding and managing the Akashic Records.
Comparable to a librarian.
Thud-
Only after the door closed did Remiel spread his wings and fly to the center.
This infinite library, filled with records from across the universe, served as a good place for Remiel to pass the time.
[Have you come to peek at records from other worlds today, Lord Remiel?]
[Yes. Do you have any interesting stories to recommend?]
[I have a good one.]
No sooner had Luvaiah finished speaking that a book gently floated down.
[This should pique your interest.]
[Oh? Let’s see then.]
Remiel smiled as he perused the book’s title.
[Hm? A record about someone called the Black Scythe…]
Though he didn’t know who it was, if Luvaiah found it interesting, he turned the page to find out more.
[This person is currently participating in a survival game on Earth, isn’t he?]
[That’s correct.]
[Why would I find the story of such a human interesting?]
[Read a little more, and you may find it engaging.]
Remiel trusted Luvaiah’s word, as it had never been wrong, and turned the page.
Soon enough, he couldn’t help but be amazed.
[Quite an impressive human. Only in the 10th round and already at level 89. Other players haven’t even reached the master rank yet.]
[And there’s more. Keep reading.]
As he read the records written in the book, Remiel continued to be astonished.
[Maintaining the top rank in every zone from the first round to now. And what’s this? He’s broken records in the Akashic Records twice?]
The book displayed records such as the 1-second time attack and a breakthrough to the 99th floor of the Tower of Trials, inscribed in golden runic script.
[I’ve seen many humans, but never one like this before.]
[See? I told you you’d find it interesting.]
Indeed, Remiel was intrigued.
However, it was only a mild interest.
[If this is all, it’s somewhat disappointing. Indeed, he’s an interesting human, but the story lacks amusement.]
Remiel fluttered his wings as he turned the next page.
The Black Scythe’s journey and growth were detailed, but he flipped through them nonchalantly.
[It appears he has already reached level 89 with an incredible growth rate. At this rate, he might be a strong candidate to finish the 20th round.]
[You seem more interested than you let on.]
[Hardly. Whether the outcome of the survival game affects me or not, I have no reason to care. Luvaiah, you should know my tastes better than this. I’d be more interested in the lovemaking of goblins and humans than this.]
[I know. But would you please turn to the last page?]
[I see no need.]
[You might find it more engaging than you expect.]
Upon repeated insistence, Remiel reluctantly turned the page.
[Huh?]
Soon, he looked as though he had seen something he shouldn’t have.
[What’s this? The fellow has killed 15 battle angels?]
[Yes. He’s the only player to have taken up a sword against angels.]
[Ha, such an insignificant human acting so high and mighty. It’s ludicrous.]
Just then, new text appeared on the page he was holding.
[Another angel has just been added to the count.]
[Are you saying he’s currently in battle?]
[It appears so.]
His forces were currently being slaughtered by a mere human?
He was unaware because he was inside the Akashic Records, where connections to other worlds are cut off.
[Ha ha, what an amusing human.]
Interest was piqued more by amusement than anger.
The audacity of a human intending to kill angels.
He might be more entertaining than Remiel initially thought. With this new insight, Remiel stirred his wings.
Flap-
[Are you leaving?]
[I must. I can’t just sit by as an Archangel while my forces are treated like this, can I?]
Kurururung-
Remiel exited through the doors.
An Archangel going out to meet a human who could normally be handled by a mere first-rank battle angel?
It was an unprecedented event.
[See? I told you you’d be intrigued.]
In the now empty library, Luvaiah murmured alone.
