    Episode 41 – Competitive Competition

    Under the cover of night a shadow infiltrated Joo Gong-hyeok’s mountain cabin.

    Stealth (E+) alone is not enough to break through security but it makes up for it with unrealistic martial arts and physical movements.

    He infiltrated through a hole in the floor passed the sleeping saints and stood in front of Joo Gong-hyeok’s bed.

    On the bed was a figure whose entire body was covered in bandages.

    “wake up.”

    When ‘X’ entered the mountain cabin and spoke the person lying on the bed jumped up.

    “Did you finish your work well friend?”

    “Okay I’m done so you can sleep over there.”

    As he pretended to be friendly ‘X’ pointed to a large chest in a corner.

    “okay. “It’s waiting over there.”

    The bandaged man bravely opened the chest and crumpled inside.

    “Friend I can’t close the lid. Could you please close it for me?”

    “huh.”

    Boom!

    When ‘X’ kicked the box the lid closed noisily.

    ‘X’ put the mask into his inventory and took out a new bandage from the corner.

    The person who entered the chest following his orders was someone who had been brainwashed by Gonghyeok’s skills.

    The skill ‘Sleep Brainwashing (C)’ was given to Julia on the 2nd floor.

    Because the level was low the number of people who could be brainwashed was limited to 4 and it had the disadvantage of not working well if the will or mental level was high.

    ‘Still it’s enough to plan the game.’

    While Gonghyeok was bandaging Nathaniel who had fallen asleep woke up.

    – It’s her.

    A deliberate presence felt behind your back.

    White feathers fluttered around the room.

    ‘You’re here.’

    Gonghyeok who felt that way looked back.

    Behind her was a girl-like angel with red hair hanging in two pigtails.

    Of course he furrowed his forehead as if he was uncomfortable.

    “A beautiful angel came into Namjeong’s house in the middle of the night. “Be manly.”

    “Don’t use the tone of a minor actor. “It’s annoying.”

    Azazel warned in a low but cute voice.

    Gonghyuk smiled inwardly.

    ‘Even if you tell me not to act like I do.’

    What if this situation has already been postponed for the 7th time? Our cute Miss Azazel.

    Feeling the desire to pull Azazel’s swollen cheeks Gonghyuk brought a chair.

    “My angel please sit on this side.”

    “······No need.”

    Gonghyeok shrugged his shoulders at the uncomfortable rejection and took out the tobacco container next to the bed.

    At that time a tawny head of brown hair came out from between Gonghyeok’s chest collar whining.

    It was Nathaniel hidden under his clothes.

    – Puh-ha! It’s finally here. Azazel! Azazel! Take me away! I can’t do anything with this person!

    “I’m sorry Nathaniel but I don’t have the authority to do that.”

    – You got promoted so well that you talk so comfortably but I’m in complete hell right now! What would you do if you came back to life? Don’t you spread it with honey and throw it among the bugs? Don’t you always pick at its smelly intestines?

    The little angel’s angry condemnation continued in front of Azazel who looked shocked.

    – Verbal language violence sexual harassment and even abuse are major violations of the Angel Labor Act and the maintenance of dignity regulations! Why did I create something like a Holy Spirit summoning book and let me die quietly and peacefully…

    Taaaaah!

    The chestnut that Gonghyeok had put so much effort into exploded on the small back of Nathaniel’s head.

    The little angel’s head was thrown forward and soon became limp.

    When Gonghyeok put the unconscious Nathaniel back into his arms Azazel said with a dumbfounded look on his face.

    “Couldn’t you have just canceled the summons?”

    “that’s right. But the one who does this gets angry.”

    “······I really don’t know what you’re doing.”

    Azazel lifted his head for a moment and glared at Gonghyuk.

    “I really don’t know what you’re doing. “Why aren’t you clearing the third floor?”

    “Whoa… there are a lot of delicious cigarette ingredients on the third floor.”

    Gonghyuk was already smoking a cigarette.

    A properly rolled paper cigarette not a pipe.

    It was a special order product that was purchased for 20 purple coins each and the tobacco inside was changed.

    “Other areas on the third floor already defeated the Tyrannosaurus a week or two ago or escaped to their own arks. It’s almost in a state of cleanup now. “But you didn’t defeat the Tyrannosaurus on purpose.”

    “Wow these are great people. “I thought I couldn’t catch it.”

    Azazel closed his eyes and pressed the bridge of his nose.

    “It’s too late to ask again.

    Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

    Why? You eliminated that dinosaur in the first week and completed the ark for 3000 people in the 10th day allowing 2700 people to escape.

    That was definitely the best reward. With a huge time reduction bonus and the largest number of people escaping you could have remained the best savior. In addition he could have been recognized as a true representative of our angels.”

    As the hand that was pressing the bridge of his nose lifted a harsh glow appeared in Azazel’s eyes.

    “S-rank accessory ‘Belt of Divine Power’.

    2 blue coins and 270 navy coins per person.

    “Why did you throw away the opportunity to get everything at once including the special skill ‘Blow of Condemnation’ and the title ‘King of the Ark’?”

    “Azazel don’t make too much of a fuss. “You can still get half of them.”

    “Yes Azazel. “If you show off with something like that your charm as a woman will decrease.”

    Someone wrapped Gonghyuk’s neck affectionately.

    It was Liliane who gently hugged his head.

    “As a reward I promised an S-class accessory ‘Eyes of the Wild’ 1 blue coin 150 navy coins a ‘Dark Knight’ skill book and the title ‘Bloody Clown’.”

    “Are you telling me to trust you when you signed a contract with that Galvo bitch and even received a ridiculous quest?”

    “oh! Don’t be classy. As for Liliane. “I really hate women who say frivolous things like that.”

    A war of nerves broke out between the angry angel and the sly succubus.

    “Liliane.”

    “Yes♡ Gonghyuk.”

    Gonghyeok’s hand grabbed Lilianne’s face and roughly pushed her away.

    “Don’t act like we’re friends when you just signed a tentative contract without a down payment or any other conditions.”

    “······ Gonghyuk. “If you treat me too coldly I’ll get hurt too.”

    “Liliane do you know that? A woman who is jealous in front of other women looks the ugliest? “Let’s be cool.”

    Lillianne speechless hit her forehead against the wall.

    ‘Why am I with this kind of person…’ A sigh of regret flowed out.

    “You guys are playing so well.”

    “Okay then Azazel. “Let’s proceed with the story you want.”

    I extinguish my almost completely burned cigarette and look at Azazel.

    “Is that all the compensation you can give?”

    “under! Are you negotiating at this point? good night. If you kill that crazy dinosaur even now I will give you the ‘Doomsday Knight’ skill book. “If only I could kill him.”

    “oh? Then I will give you 50 more navy blue coins.”

    The angel snorted at the devil Lilianne’s response.

    “It’s the same. “I’ll reward you with one more blue coin.”

    “Tiring tiring~ The S-level accessory ‘Eyes of the Wild’ has been upgraded to the S++-level accessory ‘Horn of Genigal’~.”

    “······Is it okay to touch it from the third floor up there?”

    “If we say that the angels started first the Four Heavenly Kings Vinecliff said ‘The devil should not be left behind in distribution!’ “They will praise you.”

    Clearly angels are ahead in terms of compensation.

    But that was because the difficulty of the work was higher for angels.

    Moreover considering the coins and items that could be obtained from the corpses of the remaining hunters the small creature would not have been profitable.

    Azazel bit the corner of his lip and spoke softly.

    “SS-grade demon chu (碎魔鎚) Hontar. Instead two blue coins will be deducted from the reward.”

    “Oh my oh my! Azazel you have made up your mind! There’s no way to soften that!? “There really isn’t one!?”

    “It’s noisy you demon. This body also claims to be an archangel. “I have no intention of going back on what I have said.”

    It was just as the succubus said.

    For some reason I felt a bit competitive and went a little too far.

    It was obvious that this reward would be reprimanded by Metatron in the future.

    Thinking about that made my stomach tingle but Azazel had some confidence.

    If Joo Gong-hyeok decides to work for the angel he will be rewarded and benefited even more.

    For his sake I was able to accept the small reprimand that was right in front of my eyes.

    Azazel looked at Gonghyuk with confident eyes.

    “Well how are you doing? “You can’t leave without receiving it right?”

    The angel’s expectant tone rang through the lodge.

    However Gonghyuk was overly annoyed.

    He was yawning and lighting a second cigarette.

    Azazel stiffened.

    “Little things?”

    “uh? Ah I’m sorry. “Is that really the end?”

    “That one?”

    “Hmm. “Yeah I see.”

    Gonghyeok shook his head a few times and asked with a disappointed look on his face.

    “But is that really all you can do?”

    And then Gonghyuk’s small sigh follows.

    Something snapped in Azazel’s mind.

    “Put it away!”

    The angel’s wings stood straight up and a dazzling light emanated from its entire body.

    Azazel pointed with a hand that was shaking with rage.

    “You you you you I told you that you would be on the angel side on the first floor! “Didn’t you say that you would stand by our side and save humanity and that you would punish all those who betrayed their souls to the devil?”

    Puhu─

    The smoke that was in my mouth spreads into the air like a sigh.

    “Azazel you forgot. “It’s up to you.”

    “What more can I do for you! I don’t think I did anything! Ask for the understanding of the other archangels and give them some compensation! “I tried to do my best even risking the sin of overstepping my right to hear Metatron’s sarcastic comments from the Demon King!”

    Azazel’s sad eyes began to water.

    “And… you said I was kind smart and cute…

    So I thought he was completely on our side… he said he liked me the best…”

    Gonghyeok suddenly came to his senses upon seeing Azazel’s voice dripping with moisture.

    I step on my cigarette and confidently approach Azazel.

    “I’m sorry Azazel. “I guess I thought wrong.”

    “Little thing…?”

    I bent down on one knee to be at eye level with Azazel and put my hand up to her head.

    “Are you upset because Azazel doesn’t like us? Wow. “I’ll stroke your head.”

    “······.”

    Gonghyuk ruffled Azazel’s hair as if soothing a child.

    “Come on I’m the cutest Azazel. Yes it’s the cutest thing in the world. Ugh. Look at this cheek. “How soft.”

    With his other hand he pulled Azazel’s cheek.

    The angel’s cheek pads were warm and comfortable in the hand boasting a heavenly texture that humans could not reach.

    “under. under. under.”

    A hollow laugh leaks from the angel’s mouth.

    The vitality disappeared from Azazel’s eyes as his last shred of pride was humiliated by Gonghyeok’s hands.

    “under. under. under. under.”

    “Hey there. “Azazel?”

    “haha. iced coffee. Ahhh! Kyaaaaaaa—!”

    “Hi!?”

    When Liliane who felt afraid of the dangerous-looking girl spoke to her Azazel who was laughing as if he were losing his mind started screaming like crazy again.

    “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

    “Hey Azazel? “Why don’t you calm down a bit…”

    “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

    “ha ha ha. Our Azazel’s voice is also pretty. “What on earth can’t you do?”

    “You sh*t! “Get out of here!”

    Space distorted around Azazel who was in a fit of hysteria.

    As Lilianne who was frightened took Joo Gong-hyeok away a rainbow-colored light flowed throughout Azazel’s body.

    Blinking a few times her appearance became blurred and eventually Azazel disappeared from the room.

    “He’s gone.”

    “you. “Did you know that the entire third floor almost blew away just now?”

    “It’s a shame. Your contractor almost achieved the highest level of achievement among demon contractors ever. Fall for Archangel’s provocation and blow up the third floor! “Isn’t this a jackpot that can be enjoyed for the next 1000 years?”

    “Contractor your performance is important but your life is more precious right?”

    The devil asked Gonghyuk who was laughing from the tip of his neck.

    “But you refused the compensation. “The rewards that were just released were in some ways unreasonable rewards that made you think you would get them even if you completely cleared the 4th floor.”

    “It’s not enough. “It’s far from enough.”

    “Honestly you didn’t intend to accept it from the beginning right? “The angel world’s Great Ark Quest and the devil world’s Hidden Quest were just accepted in name.”

    She sighed.

    “It doesn’t make sense. The angel’s quest and the devil’s quest are completely conflicting.

    Not only can neither achieve great success but the longer it takes the less the angel’s reward and the devil’s reward become. Either way it would be better to save everyone quickly and kill everyone quickly.”

    She looked at me with a coy look.

    “What do you believe in and are so confident?”

    “Hmm Liliane. “Even if it’s a provisional contract we are destined to be on the same boat.”

    Gonghyeok said as he smoked his third chain cigarette.

    “The ‘gods’ will come down here soon.”

    “You mean ‘God’?”

    “You will find out when the time comes. If you want to know more…”

    Gonghyeok said lifting the tip of Lilianne’s chin.

    “Kill your immediate superior the Four Heavenly Kings Cluesti. And become my subject. “I’ll let you know when the time comes.”

    “······You really don’t know what to say or what not to say.”

    Rattling!

    When Lilianne looked a little tired the cabin door opened.

    “Chief Commander! What happened? “The light came from outside.”

    “Oh it’s no big deal. “It’s just that it’s been a while since I used an avatar.”

    Gonghyeok tied up a bandage alone and spoke sociably.

    There were no angry angels or fawning demons left there.
