00964 If You Change, One. ————————————————– ———————-=
The tip of Excalibur pierced Erwin’s neck at once. I didn’t pull it out right away, but twisted it hard. And in that state, the energy of Hwajeong was infused. Considering that the devil had two lives, it was meant to end at once.
Even though his uvula was pierced, Erwin did not open his mouth, let alone struggle. Not even his moans escaped. He just opened his eyes wide and twitched.
Soon, Erwin’s whole body is engulfed in clear flames and turns into a handful of ash, which scatters away. I stood still for a while holding a knife that wasn’t even dripping with blood.
“… … .”
In fact, the dazed feeling still hasn’t gone away. I gained so much power all at once. Rather than an adaptation problem, it would probably be more accurate to say it was a feeling of frustration. It felt like the curtain had come down too easily on the stage I had barely reached after going through all kinds of hardships.
… Around age twenty? He once had that thought when he enlisted with a warrant. This is something every soldier imagines at least once. I can’t wait to get out. How will you feel when you are discharged from the military in two years?
It was the same after entering Hall Plain. I wanted to escape this hellish world as quickly as possible. I didn’t know how long it would take, but I wondered how I would feel later when it was all over and I was comfortable.
And now the moment I had been waiting for so long has arrived.
“… under.”
I don’t know. When I was discharged and left the base, I felt like I was just blown away, but it seems similar to that time. How can I say that it is an indescribable feeling?
Still, I understand this one thing.
Finally.
“Is it over?”
bang!
The moment I said that, a loud explosion suddenly hit my ears.
When I turned around in surprise, I saw a black aura rising like smoke. At that moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Because the one who was pushed back in the smoke was Gehenna. Thanatos is chasing after Gehenna, who is staggering and retreating like a wild boar that has been stung by an impenetrable sting.
Nonsense. Gehenna is being pushed back?
“Gehenna!”
The moment I cried out in disbelief, I could see it clearly. The slightly smiling face of Gehenna glanced at me at a moment of desperate need.
Boom!
The next moment, Thanatos’ attack hit again. Gehenna’s abdomen folded in half, flew through the sky and rolled on the ground. When I checked there, my body was already flying in that direction.
“Gehenna?”
“Tsk. Well, dear… .”
Gehenna barely lifted her upper body and chewed her lips in exasperation. She then suddenly put on an extremely pitiful expression and pointed to her abdomen, where she had been beaten, as if she had been waiting for it.
“He, he hit me.”
“… huh?”
“Thanatos just hit me. “I just kept getting bullied.”
“… … .”
For all that, it’s a bit strange not to see any wounds. Anyway, I just saw the pushing scene.
But when I looked back, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed. And I felt the anger that threatened to tear me to death immediately subside. This is because the condition of Thanatos seen up close was very terrible.
Wow, that’s harsh. One arm is not visible at all, as if it was torn off, and the entire body is full of holes, which is quite grotesque. In addition, the flesh had melted and flowed so badly that it had become ugly, as it had been so severely affected by the fire.
No matter where you look, it looks like Thanatos is on the verge of death. In fact, my energy is extremely weak. Perhaps the scene I just saw was the final attack that took away all the strength I had gained.
“Mr. Negro. “A question suddenly occurred to me.”
“yes. Please tell me. “Mercedes.”
While I was confused, I heard a man and a woman talking nearby. A maid woman and a Behemoth are sitting together and talking. Now that I think about it, this is also strange. She said that if Gehenna was being pushed out, why didn’t she help?
“좀 전까지 게헨나는 저 개새끼 년을 일방적으로 몰아붙이고 있지 않았나요?”
“I think it would be more accurate to say that we played with it rather than pushed it.”
“that’s right. Actually, I didn’t understand why they told us to stay still and not intervene, and why they dragged out a battle that could have ended quickly… . “Did you just get into trouble on purpose?”
“Oh, that’s right. “In my short opinion, I think it was probably because he was conscious of his father.”
What does this mean?
“Actually, Lord Gehenna, you mentioned a few times the reunion you had with your father in the past. What did they say? Ancient evil god? Anyway, he said that he pretended to be hurt on purpose even then, but he couldn’t have felt better seeing his father’s wrath on his behalf. In other words… . 100 million!”
“oh! Gehenna? “What are you doing?”
I don’t know what happened, but in an instant, the Behemoth collapsed. At the same time, I suddenly felt an enormous life force behind my back. I felt like I knew who it was without even having to look, so I focused my gaze on the unconscious Behemoth with its dented helmet. Looking back now, I feel like I was killed by Gehenna for no reason.
okay. For now, let’s focus on dealing with Thanatos.
“?”
However, Thanatos had already disappeared from the spot he had seen earlier. To be more precise, when he was dragged in, he was lifted up into the air right in front of his nose and hanging there. It was as if he had been grabbed by the collar and dragged up. Even without looking, it is clear who caught him.
“Hey, say that again.”
A voice was low but boiling with anger.
match!
Then the sound of a car hitting flesh rang out. A palm covered in red chlorine struck the other person’s cheek violently. The blow was so strong that Thanatos’ jaw snapped back.
“Say it like you did back then?”
match!
Is this the original fireworks attack? I never dreamed I would actually see it.
“what? “It looks good?”
match!
As hot sparks fly, the delicate heads turn one after another with the threat of breaking.
Thanatos is not showing any reaction, let alone resistance. In fact, his limp body made him worry that he might already be dead. This is probably proof that Gehenna suffered that much while I was being released.
“Would you like to experience the feeling of being sealed once?”
match!
yes. No problem. There is no way Gehenna will lose. Moreover, Thanatos was not even able to use his power.
… By the way, does God really fight like this? Or is this situation special?
“under! Why did the god of death drink his tail? Where did the confident momentum go then? . … “Uh, what is it?”
Suddenly, a voice is heard that makes Hwajeong panic. Thanatos’ body sways and sways so helplessly that it seems as if he is holding onto his neck and shaking it. I suddenly became anxious.
“Lord, are you dead?”
what?
“Dead?”
The moment I looked up in surprise, Thanatos was suddenly thrown. Then Hwajeong grabs my head again and pins it down.
And after a while, as I watched the flames, presumed to be Hwajeong’s, gradually consuming Thanatos, I hit the ground and regretted it. This is because the golden opportunity to see Hwajeong was lost, and Thanatos was destroyed in vain.
Isn’t that right? I was rescued dramatically and gained tremendous strength for the first time in a while.
Of course, I didn’t expect it to appear salty and cool, but for some reason, I don’t feel like I got my revenge properly. Rather, it feels empty. At least I thought Thanatos would be able to fight fiercely.
“I’m playing. Then why did I advise you to increase your stamina for no reason? “I didn’t say that because it would make things easier.”
Hwajeong must have read my thoughts as she scolded me.
“and… . Me too, I didn’t know Thanatos would die so easily. I just hit him a few times to get revenge, but he was completely dead. So it’s all Gehenna’s fault.”
Well, that’s true. From my perspective, Thanatos’ condition was serious. Perhaps Gehenna pushed it to the point where it could kill him with just one straight hit, and then deliberately toyed with it. It was a war that was won in the first place.
Maybe I should be satisfied with the fact that I finished it myself.
“for a moment! “Why are you making excuses about me?”
Gehenna shouted in an angry voice, perhaps upset by the accusation.
“Then you say no?”
“Yes. In my view, your ignorant attack… .”
“what? ignorance? I can’t even play properly… !”
“What?”
… no. I like it when these two fight. But why is the pressure on my temples getting stronger? Don’t take your anger out on me.
Well, anyway.
“then… .”
Is it really over now?
“Suhyeon.”
Just as I was thinking that, someone tapped my shoulder. As soon as I looked away, I spontaneously let out an exclamation. The person smiling at me was my older brother.
“Well, I’m here to give it back.”
As soon as my brother saw me, he stuck out his hand. In his palm, there was a small bead shining with blue light. It was a zero code.
Without realizing it, I reached out and held the zero code in my hand. For some reason, my grip felt warm.
“So, how are you feeling?”
While I was staring blankly, a soft voice flowed in my ears. When he meets his brother’s soft eyes, his body suddenly stiffens and does not move. If you were to ask him how he was, he would say he was speechless.
My brother stared at me for a while and then hugged me with a faint smile.
“Tongue, bro.”
“wait for a sec. Stay still. “Let’s cuddle a little.”
In the end, blood-soaked arms wrapped themselves around my neck. It was so tight that it was a bit difficult to breathe. Only when I was about to squeak did my older brother gently let go and patted my shoulder with a still smiling face.
“I will accept this much, but I don’t know the rest?”
Finally, he said something incomprehensible and took a step aside. I was startled and threw my head back. This is because someone came directly into the spot where my brother was absent and slapped him harshly.
“This naughty… ?”
As the hand passes through the air helplessly, Go Yeon-ju stumbles greatly and looks on in bewilderment. I’m embarrassed too.
“Why, why are you avoiding me?”
“Why, why are you hitting me?”
When asked the same question, Go Yeon-ju blinked a couple of times. Then he slowly straightens his posture and scratches his head shyly.
“just… . “For some reason, I feel like that’s the way it should be in this situation.”
“It makes no sense. “Where can I find something like that?”
“wait a minute. Where are you raising your voice now saying you did a good job? At the podium earlier, I didn’t pay any attention and just left, right? And you lied too! what? “You’re going to rescue only the clan members and come back right away?”
“… uh.”
This time I have nothing to say. Go Yeon-joo smiled in triumph and twirled his hands with venomous eyes. It was as if he had to hit me once to get rid of his anger.
I let out a long sigh. Of course, I can’t say it wasn’t my fault, but I think I became quite arrogant while I was away. I gently opened my arms, promising myself that I would scold those bloated breasts as soon as I got home.
“Rather… . “How about being hugged instead?”
“What?”
“Do you think that would be more appropriate given the situation?”
“… … .”
When I narrowed my eyes and spoke casually, Go Yeon-ju made a bewildered expression. It was that moment.
“Brother!”
A familiar figure, accompanied by a young voice, quickly rushes past Ko Yeon-ju. An Sol, with her arms wide open, was running toward me with wide eyes. It’s a great surprise attack.
So there was about a meter left.
“hey! Who dares… !”
A small lump suddenly burst through the air. It was Suna.
puck!
“Oh!”
Suna exquisitely pushes Ansol’s face away with a kick with his back foot, and uses the repulsion to fly away. But why is he frowning as soon as he sees me?
“W-Who are you! “How dare someone push me!”
… Do you really think I didn’t see it? And ‘I really don’t want to be hugged, but I really can’t help it because someone pushed me.’ What is that facial expression that seems to say? It’s not even persuasive to do that when the subject flies in with her arms wide open as if she’s been waiting.
It was then.
“Where!”
Wooooow!
I didn’t do anything, but Gehenna’s protective fortress suddenly activated. It was exactly the moment before Suna was held in my arms.
Empty!
Of course, Suna hit the curtain and fell, and I looked back to where the voice came from.
“After a while… . Yes?”
When I turned around, Gehenna was stretching out her hand towards me with the corners of her mouth raised. When she made eye contact with me, she hurriedly hid her hand and stared at the distant mountain with a stern look on her face.
Now that I think about it, something is strange.
“… … ?”
At some point it was surrounded.
One thing I’m curious about is why there are no men and all women.
Aside from Gehenna, Suna, Go Yeon-ju, An Sol, and Hwa-jeong.
“Hehehehe. Huhuhuhu.”
Im Hanna is smiling brightly and measuring arrows on her bow.
“… … .”
Nam Da-eun tilts her head in silence.
“ruler. “If you hit it like this, it’s still going to be quite painful.”
Jeong Ha-yeon summons a large block of ice and hands it to someone.
“Well, of course.”
Vivien shrugs and accepts it as if there is nothing she can do.
Moreover, Yu-jeong Lee pulling out a dagger and twirling it, Han-byeol Kim calmly choosing jewelry, and So-young Han looking a little angry… . Why Han So-young again?
Everyone’s faces are so sincere that it’s hard to dismiss it as a joke. Before I knew it, the older brother had retreated far away, and Ahn Hyeon paired up with Jin Soo-hyun and said, “Sell popcorn!” They are talking nonsense. Seon Yu-un, who was standing calmly, looked at me, put her hands together, and bowed her head.
What. What kind of war is this again?
“I am indeed. “Because it’s really not funny.”
At that time, I heard Hwajeong’s voice sounding as if she was dumbfounded. Then, I felt a light passing by next to me, and my eyes reflexively tightened.
no way… . Are you confident that you can finally show yourself?
At that moment, a warm energy suddenly came closer to the side of my face.
“Kim Soohyun. “You listen carefully.”
Very low voice. As I slowly rolled my eyes, I saw pure white cheeks reminiscent of white snow and long straight hair flowing neatly. It’s a pretty deep red color.
“Well, I mean.”
For some reason, the voice was so serious that I nodded my head without realizing it.
Still, Hwajeong hesitated for a while,
“… going to be.”
He whispered quietly in my ear. It was so quiet that I couldn’t hear it clearly.
“what?”
“I’m going to kill you.”
“What are you saying out of nowhere? “Why are you killing me?”
“Oh, so!”
Hwajeong screamed nervously and pressed her mouth to my ear again. A trembling sensation was felt.
and.
“Go on, if you make fun of me for having small breasts, I’ll kill you! Absolutely!”
It was a moment when I heard something unexpected.
“pooh!”
At the same time, I suddenly felt that the unknown feeling that had been weighing heavily on my body was lifted.
“haha… . Ha ha ha ha ha… !”
I burst out laughing without realizing it.
I could hear Hwajeong getting angry and felt strange looks from all directions, but despite this, the laughter did not subside. It was only with that one unexpected word that I could truly realize that the war was over. I burst out laughing without stopping.
The sound resonated pleasantly in the quiet surroundings and seemed to spread like a lingering sound following the gently falling sunlight.
