Chapter 770
“he is… … It’s a monster.”
The silence that came to the end of that voice that was powerlessly fading.
However, Choi Min-woo’s last words continued to resonate in someone’s ears as if echoing.
‘monster. It’s a monster.’
In his heart, the Skeleton King chewed on the bitter truth.
right. he is a monster
The greatest and worst enemy in human history.
That was a monster, and among them, he was the one who could handle the cursed power of death.
Even though he is now in human form, when this magic covering his whole body is removed, only the skeleton of the deceased who has defied his mortal destiny will be revealed.
That was the only truth.
‘Yes, this is all.’
His two human hands
The Skeleton King, who had been looking down without a word, suddenly raised his head.
I see a young human with a familiar face, but at the same time a distorted expression that makes it feel unfamiliar.
A human being who is the strongest among the beings he has ever seen, and on the other hand, is stupid, and that is why he cannot accept the truth in front of his eyes.
But to move forward with the only breakthrough, I had to accept and use that truth.
“That man is right. It’s all true.”
“… … you.”
A lot of emotions in a suppressed voice.
I now know the name of the emotion that I couldn’t feel even a few months ago.
The Skeleton King shook his head at Jin Tae-kyung, who was speechless.
“No matter what you say, this is the only way.”
“… …
“This body is a monster. It is unacceptable for us to be together for any reason.”
Of course, even if the truth is revealed,
may do it They could trust Jin Tae-gyeong and accept that the Skeleton King is different from the monsters they knew.
but… … .
“How many of them will accept this truth?”
The Skeleton King pointed to the closed window.
Most humans living out there are extremely ordinary. That’s why you can’t help but hate monsters deep in your bones.
family, friends, or loved ones
Because I lost phosphorus to a monster.
Monsters kill humans, and humans kill monsters.
This chain, which was filled at the same time as the advent of the demon king Asmodeus, was so thick and strong that no one could break it.
Even a young hero loved by everyone is no exception.
No, if everything is revealed, he will no longer be able to remain as a hero like before.
“Many will criticize you, and Michael Silbert will get everything. so… …
A horsetail that gradually fades. The Skeleton King turned around, leaving Jin Tae-gyeong behind, putting his hand on his doorknob and adding one last word.
“In front of everyone watching, annihilate this body.”
widely.
A door that closes behind your back.
The Skeleton King didn’t look back the entire time they crossed the corridor without saying a word. The lights above his head were bright, but the road ahead of him was dark.
Like a place filled with thick fog and the energy of death.
Like the gate that I couldn’t leave from the moment I first opened my eyes, but was left by a human on an unexpected day.
‘What the hell am I? name is? what about the past? Where is your hometown?’
And the answer to the question that had come to me from sometime ago seemed to be known now.
he was a monster
A cruel and ferocious monster that cannot be found in reason.
An existence that originated from pure evil and could never be with humans.
That’s the truth. No, it must be true.
Faced with a reality that he had no choice but to accept, the Skeleton King let out a laugh.
‘shit. Now I can’t go to the club forever.’
But why? A corner of her chest was relieved.
He is a monster who can’t even have ordinary emotions, let alone a heart.
obviously it should be
Even if you haven’t heard of it somewhere, you will naturally come to know it as you live your day-to-day life.
Life is a series of choices every moment.
Not all choices are grandiose. People are given a small choice from the moment they open their eyes in the morning.
Will it happen like this or not?
Should I take a shower when I wake up? Or should I just wash my face and wash my hair?
Your choices will vary depending on the situation you are in.
If you wake up earlier than expected, you may sleep a little longer, and if you’re worried about being late, you can skip the shower.
However, what you need to think about before making a choice is the consequences that choice will bring.
A result you have to deal with on your own.
and at this moment. I was standing at a crossroads with a choice that was difficult to handle.
“this… … crazy bastard.”
A voice barely squeezed out of my mouth.
It was an insult to someone who had already left, and it could have been aimed at someone else who remained.
Or, myself who can’t do this or that.
“Jin Tae-kyung.”
My head, tangled like a skein of thread, throbs. I closed my eyes without saying a word at the low call that pierced my ear.
“You have to choose.”
An invisible awl penetrates the brain
seemed to
The headache intensified with each word that followed.
“He has already set his path. He made the sacrifice that only he could have made… …
Whoa, thump!
I do not know.
When the hell did I wake up, and why am I holding on to Team Leader Choi’s collar?
jjik.
The collar of a crumpled luxury shirt
I can’t win and I’m torn apart. Above the white-stained hand, there was a pair of eyes looking at me silently.
“Do as you like. It doesn’t matter if you beat me to mush, break me limbs, or even kill me. but… …
A trembling breath followed, and a voice continued.
“After that, you have to choose. certainly.”
“Don’t you know? Time does not wait for us.”
At those words, the look in his eyes made my pulse go numb.
The aura that seemed to explode at any moment, the energy that seemed to seep through her whole body, and even her hands that were full of strength, everything felt unfamiliar.
I took a step backwards like someone who had been possessed for a moment.
with weak apologies.
“… … I’m sorry.”
I know. That there was nothing wrong with Chief Choi.
Everything he said was true,
It was the only solution to break through this situation.
If the Skeleton King hadn’t revealed his intention to sacrifice himself, Team Leader Choi wouldn’t have said anything either.
because he is that kind of person
Even though he already knew the only solution through cool-headed judgment, he was a person with morality who did not force sacrifice on others.
Some might call him a hypocrite, but at least not me.
Like me, for Choi,
I know that the Skeleton King is not just a monster to be killed.
‘Even if it was a situation where he had to sacrifice himself, he would have come up with that as a solution before anyone else.’
Unlike me, he is a natural leader.
If he had a choice and not me, he would not have avoided it.
Even though he suffered alone, he would not have cowardly turned away from the truth.
‘Damn it.’
Time does not wait for us.
When I remembered Choi’s words, another world that was waiting for me passed before my eyes.
Wu Lin.
If the login function had not been blocked due to the main quest, if I could think about it for a much longer time, what choice would I make?
No, if enough time is given, can you finally make a choice?
‘And I can bear the consequences.’
So far I have fought countless battles.
I struggled to survive and fought to protect my people.
However, only pain remains at the end of the two paths in front of me.
If you don’t sacrifice the Skeleton King, the world will fall into the hands of Michael Silbert, and if you sacrifice him as it is… … I don’t think I can stand it at all.
Yes, I don’t know since when, but the Skeleton King was my friend.
A comrade and friend who fought together.
Simply put the two words “Great”
A being that cannot be sacrificed for the sake of.
‘We have to destroy that guy. That too in front of everyone’s eyes.’
It doesn’t work to use the inventory to camouflage extinction. Michael Silbert isn’t that lax a great man.
Even if I prove that I have complete control over the Skeleton King, things won’t change.
To mankind, monsters are like an evil that must not be touched.
Through decades of experimentation, it has been proven that monsters can never be tamed.
Hasn’t the thread also been proven?
The Skeleton King was an unprecedented existence, and any kind of truth is known and rejected at the same time.
‘at last… … There is only one answer.’
I closed my eyes. And after a lot of trouble that passed through my mind like a flash, I suddenly opened my mouth.
“Chief Choi.”
After waiting for my decision without a word, he replied.
“Tell me.”
“Could you win the re-establishment of the World Hunter Federation?
Is there any possibility that the seal will be revoked?”
“Suddenly why… …
“Answer only.”
I opened my closed eyes with firm words. Team leader Choi, who was staring at me with complicated eyes, opened his mouth.
“There is no possibility that the approval will be revoked.”
“Are you sure?”
” yes.”
” The reason is?”
“The existence of the World Hunter Federation is now indispensable. Horsepower every day
Because it is the only way to stop the current situation, which is increasing, and the embers once drawn.”
“What if something happens to me or him in this situation?”
Eyes shaking violently.
After a while, Team Manager Choi realized the meaning of my words and shouted out loud.
“Jin Tae-kyung!”
But I have already made my choice. Not the first, not the second, but the third. On that road, dark and full of thorns.
okay.
center of all of this. Kill Michael Silbert.
“It’s not possible!”
“There is nothing wrong. It’s just difficult.”
I answered calmly and continued without giving a chance.
“From now on, if the work I am going to do is successfully completed… … At that time, Team Leader Choi must move. Magic Johnson will do everything in his power to help.”
“stop! stop!”
“Chuck Hagel. Pie Chen. There is also Prince Felix. Take control of the World Hunter Federation, which will be re-established with the support of the S-class Hunters and friendly countries you have built a good relationship with.”
“I hate to hear it! Moreover, how do I… …
“This is the path that Team Leader Choi’s maternal grandfather followed. If you imprint the weight of the name Cheon Tae-min on people, you can stare at it. If you think it’s impossible, pushing Magic Johnson is one of the ways.”
I added with a grin.
“Well, since the team leader is so smart, he’ll do well on his own.”
“Still, I’ll ask you one more thing for the elderly. Even when his head, named Michael Silbert, is blown off, his torso remains. It’s better to find them and get rid of them… …
Serung.
I shut my mouth at the cool noise that suddenly resonated.
A single sword blocking the way.
Team leader Choi, who pulled out the [Hero’s Sword], glared at me with a hard face.
there was.
“I can’t go.”
“hmm. You wouldn’t.”
“There is nothing wrong. It’s just difficult.”
I took a step toward Team Leader Choi, who returned what I had said earlier.
“is it so. I was going to fix it anyway, but it worked out.”
“What is that… …
“There is no one who doesn’t know that we are close. I have to make half of it into porridge and leave so that there is less suspicion.”
Awesome. Tsutsutsu!
At this, team leader Choi raised a dazzling aura. The powerful aggregate of power that tumbled over the sword body raised the wind.
Deuk. Wow.
Tremors spread throughout the building. And a strong wind turned into a gust of wind.
“You definitely have talent. You felt a lot.”
And the moment I was about to take my steps, smiling calmly.
Jiying.
A weak vibration resonated somewhere, piercing the tension between us.
