Chapter 824
When dawn comes, the darkness recedes.
It was one of the natural principles, like water flowing from top to bottom, but it was not very good news for those who were running away from someone’s pursuit.
Especially, if the pursuer is a monster to the point of being suspicious of even being human.
‘ already?’
The doppelganger bit his lip as he gazed at the slowly brightening sky.
It’s too early. No, it would be more accurate to say that we delayed more than we thought.
‘At least everything should have been over before dawn.’
The doppelganger knew too. No matter how much I regret and chew on it, the reality won’t change.
To that extent, the plan he had set up had already gone awry a long time ago, and ‘The Guy’ was at the center and beginning of everything.
‘Jin Tae-kyung.’
throbbing.
Just the mere thought of the name causes stabbing pains to rise from all over the body.
The doppelganger, who had been killed hundreds of times by Jin Tae-kyung, shuddered as he recalled his fearsome status.
‘I shouldn’t have approached him from the beginning.’
It was a mistake, it was greed.
After taking Kenji Yagamoto, he hurriedly left, or he stayed until the end in the first place
should not have been revealed.
‘It was just a matter of adding just a little bit more.’
From the beginning, the target was other humans.
Numerous hunters left behind. If he was able to absorb their mana and vitality, he would have been able to achieve his intended purpose.
‘Damn it.’
However, Jin Tae-kyung did not let go of his doppelganger easily.
Treat him like a slave and allow him to get out of your sight.
There was no law.
It was unhappiness for the doppelganger, and luck for the other hunters except Jin Tae-kyung.
If the doppelganger had escaped Jin Tae-gyeong’s grasp, if Yamamoto Genji’s body had been overwritten and headed to the main headquarters in the rear… … .
He would have led countless monsters and fanatics and stained the desert with blood.
Of course, the result was the exact opposite.
The monster army was crushed, and the fanatics who had been raised with great care were used as shields for safe escape.
‘I never thought I’d be fooled like this.’
The doppelganger had a bitter taste.
That’s literally tens of thousands of power. Aside from his mightiness, it was even more regrettable that he lost his private soldiers who absolutely obeyed his orders.
‘Still, now that I’ve confirmed that he is the chosen one… … The master must be satisfied.’
The doppelganger, thinking of the owner whose meaning and depth were completely unknown, shook his head.
Over the past few decades, behind an invisible curtain, people who have been secretly massaging the world
Although he was a doppelganger, even he was a mere servant in front of his master.
Even at this moment, like the stupid people in front of him who are following him.
“Is it still far?”
To the words I gave in a seemingly solemn tone, the mysterious man, wrapped in a black turban, answered.
“I will arrive soon. You are the great Prophet.”
“It was slow. At this rate, they may catch up. Increase your speed.”
“Did you say catch up?”
“Yes, he is more of a monster than I thought. He doesn’t know what he’s going to do.”
At the words of the doppelganger, which, unlike usual, were mixed with impatience and fear, dozens of suspicious people who ran around the doppelganger as if escorting them exchanged glances.
It has already been running at full speed for close to an hour. But I’m going to speed it up even more here.
The suspect, who was watching the doppelganger on his back to save energy, finally opened his mouth cautiously.
“I’m sorry to tell you… … this person
It is difficult to speed up with prizes.”
“what?”
“Please forgive us for our shortcomings. Prophet.”
Footsteps that move without a break even while talking.
The doppelganger, who was staring at the back of the head of the fanatic carrying him on his back, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s my fault. Even if it wasn’t so, I urged you, not knowing the circumstances of those of you who were overdoing it.”
“It is difficult to bear such words.
Please take it.”
“no. How can I not know your heart? He must have felt uncomfortable leaving the battlefield leaving behind the brothers and sisters he grew up with.”
“that……
“It must have been hard for me to accept why I had to run away like a wolf to avoid the evil cultists. Isn’t it?”
The eyes of the men in black shook through the turbans.
Every single word of the doppelgänger goes straight through their hearts.
was stabbing
They were raised as personal guards only for the prophets by Amir, the chieftain.
However, the promised land that everyone longed for was an extremely barren canyon, and pagans were waiting instead of green vitality and hope.
And the fierce battle that ensued soon after, and the bloody brothers and sisters who fell.
But they didn’t care. Because I thought it was a holy war to set God’s will right.
The death of brothers and sisters is also a holy order
Because I believed in religion.
At least, that was until the prophet whom they respected showed up as an insignificant figure and left the battlefield.
‘Is this really the right choice?’
Escorting the Prophet, they crossed deserts and wildernesses, passed oases, and reached the boundless western lands.
While running without rest for a moment, the question that suddenly passed through my mind grew bigger and bigger.
God is omnipotent. A prophet is a great prophet.
But why are they running away
go. Why did he cowardly leave the battlefield, avoiding the heathen army, which was less than one-tenth?
No matter how much I try to suppress it with the firm faith that I have cultivated throughout my life, unanswered questions come out in my heart.
And at this moment, it finally becomes a sound and flows out through the tip of the tongue.
“Actually, I don’t quite understand.”
The prophet on his back did not answer.
Accepting the silence as permission, the seal of the hump cautiously continued. Finish
With my eyes on the destination that has appeared far away.
“If you fight back, you can win. Didn’t the Prophet always tell us? that God is always with us That is why he will always be full of victory and glory.”
nettle liquid.
The wind blows along the steeply launched new models. In the meantime, the voices of other black righteous people mingled.
“We abandoned our brothers and sisters and ran away.”
“I am afraid of being abandoned by God.”
“Prophet. Do I dare to ask what the Almighty has said?”
It was then.
The prophet, no, the doppelganger, who had been silently listening to their stories, opened his mouth.
“Stop.”
The suspects, who had been advancing forward without a moment’s rest, stopped.
The doppelganger, who had recovered the power consumed while moving on his back, muttered as he stepped on the ground.
“You have finally arrived.”
The surroundings were lonely and desolate.
There was no trace of an oil field that was once the second largest in the world, and there were unknown bones rolling around in the land where not a single blade of grass grew.
land of the dead.
The moment they saw that scene, these words crossed the minds of people in black. One of them summoned up the courage to ask.
“Where is this place?”
Even the people in black wondered about the same thing.
As mere servants, they only moved according to orders, and it was difficult to dare to guess the will of the great prophet.
And the next moment, everyone’s eyes widened at the words that reached their ears.
“A time of trouble called Cataclysm. It is the land in which He tarried, though for a little while.”
U | Ha
“My lord, who is also the lord of all, has spoken. go to humans Wait there.”
For a moment, the air seemed to stop.
The people in black, who looked around with bewildered eyes, knelt down at the same time and cried at the top of their voices.
“Ohh, ohhh… …
“Inshallah!”
“God is great!”
It was a natural reaction.
There is only one master that the Prophet serves, and this land where he came was not enough to be called a holy land.
And over the heads of those who lie flat and cry out for God’s grace,
The stem voice continued.
“Did you say you were afraid of being abandoned by God?”
The tone was soft. Like soothing a fussy child.
“Did you want to hear what he said?”
Finally, upon arriving at the holy place, the hands that brushed the hair of the worshipers who prostrated themselves were warm. As if caring for the painful wounds of a patient moaning in pain.
“Then let me know.”
However, the gaze looking down at them was neither soft nor warm.
It was the same change as the sunlight in the desert turning into the cold of the northern wind and snow, and the voice that followed was chilly and frozen.
“How insignificant you guys are.”
That moment.
Phew! Fighting.
The people in black who were thrilled blinked their eyes.
When I raised my head, which had been buried deep in the ground, I could see red blood and flesh scattered everywhere.
“uh… … ?”
A mesmerizing voice escaped from someone’s lips.
It was a pure question, an unacceptable reality.
And before they could find an answer to that question, a thick darkness fell over the heads of the suspects.
Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Chills ran down my spine. His hands and feet, free from her will, hardened like a stone statue.
Even the body and mana that I trained all my life, and the sword wrapped around my waist are useless at this moment.
It was a piece of shit.
ah.
A single moan.
The people in black looked at the darkness approaching in front of them, engulfed in great fear and shock that they felt for the first time in their lives.
In the darkness, smooth like a mirror, their faces were reflected intact.
4 This…’
A voice that no longer leaks out. Whole body hardened.
The suspects couldn’t even scream
Chae moved her brother. A man’s face appeared above the darkness that embraced them.
A great prophet who will lead all to the Promised Land.
No, ‘it’ that they believed to be a prophet was looking at them and smiling.
It was leading to the abyss in the terrible abyss, where there was no death or anything.
“Listen. these stupid things You weak, insignificant humans.”
The darkness absorbs fresh vitality. Dozens of whitish souls in the hall
It flowed toward him in the darkness like lean.
“There is only one King in this world.”
The bloody water that flowed through the seven holes was swallowed up by the darkness. The taut skin shrivels and the bones crumble.
death approaching. Or the abyss.
In the sight of plummeting into the abyss, they heard the last voice of the devil.
— 7 Gods’ is『 . . .
already abandoned you
A resounding word.
that was the last
Twenty-nine mummies, kneeling as if in worship, remained in the place where darkness fell.
And, as has been the case for hundreds of years, there was only one that took on a new life.
No, I thought so.
Whoa ah.
Until a dazzling beam of light bursts out of the air above the ruins.
In that distant flash, blue-white fire
Until the flowers overflow and pour out.
Quaaaaaa!
The mighty flame dyed the doppelganger’s eyes blue.
