Ro” in Nudim Chapter 586 Sometimes, some kind of truth is cruel and cold.
People who face the truth tend to turn away from the truth in front of them because they don’t believe in the situation they are in or don’t want to believe it.
like me now
“… … human.”
When the Skeleton King’s voice broke the silence and pierced my ears, I felt as if I had woken up from a very long and terrible dream.
And the next moment I realized that it was all a dream, not a reality.
‘You’re dead. really.’
When Kim Hwa-jong finally died, his face was gentle, and joy lingered on the corners of his stiff mouth.
It was the smile left by the deceased who was able to fulfill his last wish and leave.
However, I continued to pour the heat into his body. Are you still cold with the unreachable question? is it still dark
Perhaps the old butler I remember is still wandering through a winter night that will never end.
You may be looking for a person in the dark, shivering with cold and unable to see an inch ahead.
That’s why I couldn’t stop.
That was the reason for blowing warmth into his body, which was getting colder and colder.
A cold hand touched his shoulder. The quiet Skeleton King’s voice reached my ears.
，，Human，， “Let go.” “Enough is enough. stop.” That’s wrong. Not full yet. So I couldn’t stop.
Just as he was roughly about to shake off the hand that touched his shoulder, the Skeleton King continued.
“It won’t be cold anymore, so that human… … let him go.”
The moment I heard that, why did my whole body lose strength?
I really didn’t know.
Maybe it was because the Skeleton King was using his engineering belt against a human for the first time, or maybe it was because the voice that pierced his ears was unusually weak.
If not, it would be because of the guests who have returned to this nameless ridge after a disaster passed by.
Careful steps stepping on the snow.
I followed the sound and turned my head to see five men and women who finally revealed their faces.
They were the faces that I met and exchanged greetings with once or twice inside the Guild House, so I was able to recognize their identity without difficulty.
‘Peace Guild member.’ It must have come back, noticing that the situation had changed.
Those who were already exhausted and wounded from struggling with the Behemoth before me, looked at the beast that had fallen in front of them with bewildered eyes, then turned their heads and looked this way.
and… … .
“no!”
“Guild leader!”
A mixture of shouts and screams rang out.
It was Kim Hwa-jong, who fell into a deep sleep that would never wake up, who greeted them as they hurriedly ran over the body of the Behemoth.
“Oh, how is this?”
“… … damn it I knew it would turn out like this. I knew it would turn out like this!”
Sorrowful voices mixed with crying. Even though I wasn’t there, I could clearly see how things would have turned out.
‘I would have told you to go. You’re fine, run away with Team Leader Choi.’
Kim Hwa-jong is such a person.
He had something more precious than life. A young man who could write as a boy and read as a grandson was such an existence.
I stood there watching everything as if nailed to it, and suddenly I opened my mouth.
“Chief Choi.”
W], yes?”
rough and empty. A strange voice came out like someone else’s.
“Put Manager Choi down next to him.”
“hurry.”
The guild members who had been staring blankly at me soon realized what I meant and nodded.
They exhausted all their strength and carefully put Choi, who had lost consciousness, on the ground.
The two people lying side by side resembled each other even though they didn’t look alike at all.
‘We finally met, you two.’
I made them hold hands without saying a word.
Perhaps because of his mood, the smile on Kim Hwa-jong’s lips seemed to grow brighter.
“Hunter Jin Tae-kyung. I’d rather wake up the manager… … I shook my head at the carefully worded words from one of the guild members.
“It’s not possible.”
“Ha, but… … .”
“It can’t be. At least for now.”
I firmly cut off his words. It’s not that I haven’t thought about it either.
At least, if it had been before Kim Hwa-jong’s death, I would have done everything I could to awaken Team Leader Choi’s consciousness and bring them face-to-face.
but… … .
‘It’s already late.’ Kim Hwa-jong has already passed away, and Choi’s body, which has reached its limit due to accumulated fatigue, is not intact.
Even if he forced himself to regain consciousness and use the potion, the cost would come back many times over and attack Team Leader Choi.
Along with sadness and anger of unfathomable depth.
The dead got rest after suffering, but the survivors must live with the pain.
I realized that fact three years ago, and I couldn’t wake Team Leader Choi, who was so reckless, about such a cruel reality.
Only one thing can be assured.
Before Choi regains consciousness, he will bring a gift that will calm down the anger and sadness he feels.
Wedge love! Awesome!
The wind split at the tip of the spear he swung without any preparation.
As the strong energy fired in the form of a half moon cut through the huge torso of the fallen Behemoth, the Skeleton King murmured like a sigh.
“stop.”
Instead of answering, I swung the spear in my hand again. Once, twice, three times… … .
Awesome! Awesome! Fuhuaaak!
The body is cut into pieces, and the blood remaining in the corpse gushes out like a fountain.
As long as the powerful magic that the Behemoth once possessed had disappeared, it was no more than a piece of meat.
I cut them off without hesitation like a butcher. Until the Skeleton King, unable to see the scene, shouted out loud.
“I told you to stop! What’s different about you being like this…!” I cut off his cry in a low voice.
“I am doing this because it can change enough.” “what?” The Skeleton King asked with a puzzled expression.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
I took a step without answering the question.
In just one step, the distance of several meters was shortened and the Behemoth’s corpse came closer.
I stared at the corpse, which had been dismembered to the extent that I couldn’t find the majesty it had in life, and finally found what I was looking for.
No, it was making itself known before I even found it.
*1—I? O?
A slight vibration transmitted through the air. At the same time, a turbid yet powerful Ki-woo “… … found.” I was worried that it might have been extinguished by the flash I flew earlier, but fortunately, ‘that thing was safe.
I murmured with a sense of relief in my heart, and stretched out my hand without hesitation.
Shih, Tak!
I stared at ‘it’, which was blown into my hands by the void submerged object, with a calm gaze.
And I muttered in my heart so that no one could hear.
‘Item appraisal.’ belt ring.
[The turbid abyss of Behemoth] Type: Magic Stone Rating: Transcendence Description: Named monster and ancient beast, the abyss and source of magic that Behemoth embraces.
However, for some reason, another magic power was absorbed, and the pure darkness became cloudy and more powerful.
In order to use it, it has to go through a very demanding and difficult purification process.
The moment I checked the system window floating in the air, my eyes became hot.
However, his mind was spinning colder than ever before.
‘The turbid abyss of the Behemoth.’ So far, the system has never lied. Therefore, what is written in the description section must also be an unmistakable fact.
‘For some reason, another magic power was absorbed. Yes, that’s right.’ Right after the conversation with the Kraken, the questions that had been floating around in my head for the past few hours began to move in order one after another.
Who is the culprit who caused the monster wave by giving magic stones to the Kraken, and who is behind him?
Why did team leader Choi, who was so busy, leave Seoul and come all the way to Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, and why did the monster wave occur again here?
And what does the description of the magic stone left by Behemoth mean?
‘why. why. why.’
I asked myself questions and found answers myself.
After what seemed like a few hours, I was able to work out the answers to all my questions.
Just one thing, minus the last puzzle
‘okay. The last one.’
But I didn’t hesitate. It was because he already knew where to find the last remaining puzzle.
“Today, why did you come here?”
Where my question went, there were members of the Peace Guild.
As the eyes of the people around him focused on him, the middle-aged hunter, who seemed to be the most senior, replied with a dark expression.
“There was a person that Team Leader Choi had to meet in great secrecy. He was a man who changed his appearance with illusion magic. He seemed very nervous.” “Who is that?” “I’m sorry… but everyone, including me, doesn’t know his identity.” Perhaps what the middle-aged man said is true, but I am not disappointed.
It was because he had heard directly from Team Leader Choi a while ago about his identity, which he had not informed even of the temporary security team leader.
‘Chunwoo Song.’
The hero of Cataclysm and the Ares Guild’s European general manager.
and… … Lee Jeong-ryong and Seok-jun Seok. A political opponent who has been in conflict with the two priests for generations.
However, I already knew about the temporary partnership between him and Choi, and I was not stupid enough to think of Chun-Woo Song as the culprit.
‘There’s no reason for that. Not even one.’ Song Chun-wu is an ambitious man who has not been able to overcome the years.
So, apart from all the problems, it was absurd that he was trying to kill Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s downfall, and that he was trying to kill Team Leader Choi, a reliable helper.
In the end, it means that there is a separate culprit for everything that happened today.
The one who will benefit more than anyone from the death of two people.
A person who can create a monster wave by using an S-class magic stone with astronomical value and rarity.
‘Seok Go-jun.’
The moment when the last piece of the puzzle is put together. I realized what I had to do next.
And also the fact that the aftermath of this choice I made now can reach all around me.
‘then… … I gently closed my eyes.
already irreversible This is something that must be done regardless of whether it is right or wrong.
When I opened my eyes again, there was not an inch of shaking in my heart and voice.
“If the team leader wakes up while I am away, please tell someone.” “yes? what… …
“S-class Hunter Jin Tae-gyeong.” A strange and dry voice continued, like someone else’s.
“As of this time, I am leaving the Peace Guild.”
U ]” K ?
The expressions of the frozen people caught my eyes. Along with someone’s distorted face.
“You guys can’t… … !” “You stay here. Protect the guild just in case.” Those who leave must leave, and those who remain must stay.
I shook my head at the Skeleton King, who tried to dissuade him again, and threw a question at the guild members who had hardened like statues.
“Anyone who can teleport? hand.”
“Cow, hand.”
The wizard who raised his hand awkwardly asked with a blank face.
“Yeah, but where?”
“Jongno no… … I continued talking as I looked at the old butler who had fallen asleep and would never wake up.
“Let’s go to Ares Guild.”
