#325
325. King of the boundary (2)
The pale complexion of Siris began to take on an apricot color.
Infinite power connected fragmented bones and muscles, and grafted severed nerves and blood vessels.
A beat that becomes increasingly distinct. therefore.
“Cool!”
Dead blood spurted from Siris’ mouth.
“Cough! Cough Cough!”
“Sirini! Don’t die!”
Nihaku said clinging on.
I removed my hand from Siris’ chest and murmured.
“Don’t mess around. I’m not dead.”
He put his hand on Nihaku’s head.
Then, Siris’s eyelids fluttered, and the green eyes caught the light.
“Sirini!”
Nihaku hugged Siris tightly.
I got up from my seat. I don’t want to break the mood.
This guy also worked hard. He had to put a knife through his heart, if he was careless or whatever, it wasn’t enough to face me directly. It wouldn’t have been all that hard. As a result, he even died once.
“……master.”
Siris looked back at me as she collapsed.
A weak voice tickled his ears.
“Don’t call me by that title.”
The game is over.
After Amkena, the last master of Pick Me Up, disconnects, the server will not reopen.
The intersection of Mobius and Earth will disappear forever.
“I… ugh!”
Siris, who was about to raise her back, furrowed her eyebrows.
not yet fully recovered. She has been connected with the Infinity Cup, but she will need some time to adjust to her new powers.
“Sirini! Don’t overdo it! What if I collapse again!”
Siris looked at Nihaku with a wry smile.
Then he met my eyes again.
“Relax. I’ll take care of the rest.”
“I… to the master… forgive me…”
“What forgiveness? Oh, for trying to banish me to Earth? I forgot all about it.”
I scratched the back of my head.
After all, Niflheim helped me a lot. In the first place, when I played the game, I did not consider the circumstances of the heroes in the slightest. Siris and Yurnet, Lidigion, Muden and Nihaku. Each one had the experience of coming close to being killed by me or losing a precious comrade. Because I ate it for a while.
‘It’s fortunate that I didn’t get stabbed.’
I didn’t expect it to do so well.
“You don’t have a right arm or a left eye. Wait. I’ll play it.”
“it’s okay.”
Siris shook her head.
“I’ll take this as punishment for my mistake.”
“You’re going to live as a one-eyed, one-armed person?”
“It won’t affect the fight. I’ll learn a new method.”
Siris’ eyes did not waver.
The look on your face when you are determined to do something. I questioned and listened, then shut my mouth. Better to leave it alone for now. You will have a chance to convince them later.
[Now Loading… … .]
[Nippleheim is being regenerated!]
I looked back.
Koo Goo Goo Palace. Next to the seat where Bifrost was planted, a huge pillar reminiscent of a beautiful tree rose up. The identity of the pillar was obvious. It was the core structure of Niflheim, the waiting room I had put my heart and soul into designing.
“Yggdrasil.”
Yurnet, who was by her side, opened her mouth.
“From that tree, a newborn Niflheim will be created.”
A weak vibration shaking the ground.
Numerous branches branched out from the pillar. As flowers and leaves bloom, light spreads from the branches and begins to fill the space.
The floor, which was just dark and empty, was finished with clean tiles.
On all sides, where the dark horizon stretched out, it was obscured by thick, sturdy walls.
A fountain symbolizing the square sprayed clear water, and benches were assembled around it.
‘This sight… … .’
have seen
It was the very scene when the waiting room was being built when I first landed here.
The light scattered from the branches was restoring the landscape of Niflheim I knew, freely moving in and out of the vast and vast space. It was breathing new light and color into this border where nothing existed.
“You are the king.”
Yurnet bowed her head to me.
“Who is the king?”
“Didn’t you forbid me to call you Master?”
“I’m not a king. Don’t call me by that title.”
Yurnet looked at me puzzled.
It means asking for a name. Neither a master nor a king.
then who am i
Seojin Han.
Life on Earth was abandoned.
The same goes for Han Israt. I have to go to Taoneer at least once to see Fria or the other colleagues, but I can’t sit there. That name is over now.
“Loki.”
The name of a god who destroyed the world in a certain myth.
It was also my account name.
“Loki.”
Yurnet recited.
Then he grumbled with the sound of Bolmen.
“I like the title King.”
“yes?”
“Even in our world, kings were a mythical being. There was a legend that said that they lead all people to victory and lead to prosperity…”
Do you know that the Earth is different?
The existence of a king there was a relic of the past.
I only looked at it a few times in history books, but it didn’t suit me at all.
“Ah, I understand.”
As I explained this part, Yurnet nodded.
And smiled.
“Then my role is to guide Loki, who is not yet fit for the position, to the position of a true king.”
“what?”
“It’s okay. We also don’t know what a vassal is or what loyalty is. Why don’t we learn from each other? I think we’ll have a satisfying relationship someday.”
I was mesmerized by Yurnet’s dazzling smile.
I’m dumbfounded.
“We could barely become one.
“…”
“I don’t think you’re going to break the contract now, Loki.”
Yurnet finished speaking.
Well, this must be something I have to bear.
I was the one who accepted it.
Pooh.
A loud trumpet sound.
I looked up.
<All forces of Niflheim, forward!>
Beyond the dimensional gate, countless airships were gathering.
It seemed that the main force of Niflheim had finally arrived.
<Light the fire of Tacheon!>
The vast border of the sky was obscured.
Around the flagship Brunhild 01, hundreds of large and small airships formed a fleet.
They were advancing with a statue of a goat, the symbol of Niflheim.
“To give Loki-sama eternal victory…”
“If left alone, it won’t die, will it?”
“……Yes, but.”
I sighed.
The fight here is completely different from the outside.
To make them useful, we had to start from scratch.
[Mhahahahaha!]
The prow of Brunhild 01.
A fairy wearing a pirate hat and an eyepatch burst into madness.
[As long as I became a full-time employee, no one can stop me! Shards, do you see them! My super hyper super ultra golden fleet! Tremble in fear, muhahaha! Where will you come… … .]
“Make him an intern again.”
“yes.”
I flapped my cloak.
Niflheim, the newborn I stood on, was being reconstructed one after another.
‘My estate.’
Niflheim.
From now on, it will be my fortress and castle.
‘It sounds like fun.’
It feels like starting a new game.
You will become a master once more.
If there is a difference from before, it is that now my luck is with Niflheim.
“Keep in mind.”
I muttered.
A powerful voice spread across the border.
“As long as you made a contract with me, you cannot die even if you die.”
Even if you die, live and fight.
We will be one and all at the same time.
The infinite cup is no longer my only power.
“In return, I will give you the strength to fight.”
In a war with no end in sight,
to seize victory.
“Victory to the king.”
Lydegion recited.
<Victory!>
<Victory!>
<Victory!>
<Victory to our King!>
<Victory to the King of Vigilance!>
A distant chorus rang out.
“We will need new forces. We will establish contacts in all dimensions of Mobius. If anyone wants war and honor, they can join us.”
Yunet said.
“To them we will be called Valhalla.”
Valhalla.
It’s not a bad word.
“There are some strong candidates in Taoni, would you like to hear them?”
“that…….”
it’s for later
I grinned.
“Aaron.”
“yes”
“Don’t you regret coming here?”
Aaron touched the window.
“I regretted it to the point of getting sick of it.”
“okay?”
“I did it for thousands of years, to the point of getting tired of it, to the point where there was nothing left.”
i’m not the bad guy
If Aaron had remained as an instructor at the training center, he would not have had to go through such hardships.
He would have lived comfortably as the share given to him. She might have to be smiling beside her sister.
‘It’s my karma.’
What made this guy like this?
The thing that made me jump into an eternal fight.
“older brother.”
“hmm?”
“I have no more regrets.”
Aaron looked at me with a confident expression.
“It’s an honor to be able to fight by your side in the future.”
“What is glory?”
Followed along well.
Even when he suffered for a long time due to lack of progress, he never uttered a single word of resentment towards me.
He was a guy who blamed everything on himself for being lacking.
I saw the Lydigion.
He said nothing.
It only shows the sheath of attitude from a distance.
‘It’s not necessary to say.’
Nihaku was just moaning in the corner.
“It’s really fortunate, Master… Master…”
I shrugged.
and.
“Siris.”
My body seemed to have recovered somewhat.
Siris staggered towards me.
The left eye tied with cloth and the fluttering sleeve of the right arm felt empty.
‘my… … .’
sub master.
My favorite hero.
At first, I cherished it because it was the only 4 star, but I knew it from the middle. The fact that this guy is different from your average hero.
I make mistakes sometimes,
In the end, you’re on the right track.
“It doesn’t look good. Regenerate arms and eyes.”
“someday.”
Siris opened her mouth.
A satisfied smile formed on her lips.
“When I think I’ve done my responsibility, I’ll attach it.”
“I’m not listening again.”
Even though this is like Siris.
‘Master and hero.’
The one-dimensional relationship is over.
It was time to build a new relationship in a long fight.
‘Please be happy.’
Master’s last command.
I don’t know what it is, but I thought I’d try.
‘master.’
I looked around.
Amkena’s control window was flickering.
can’t last long The connection will soon be lost.
above the border.
On the screen of a tiny smartphone
Amkena was looking at me.
[Warning!]
[The server is unstable!]
[Please prepare for disconnection.]
but. That’s it.
The roads to go from each other are so different.
‘From now on, let’s play games in moderation.’
It sounds like your mother is very worried.
It’s good to relieve stress with games, but you have to do it in moderation so that it doesn’t interfere with your daily life.
that’s not what i’m saying
Well, it doesn’t matter.
“hey.”
I have one last thing to say.
“Change this.”
I lifted the statue of a war horse.
He had been touched so much that his head and feet were worn away.
Now it’s not a statue or anything. It’s just a simple lump.
[Gift shop!]
[Purchase ‘War Horse Statue’ with 5,000 gold.]
[I present the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ to ‘Han’!]
rattle.
[‘Han’ is delighted to receive the ‘war horse statue’.]
I whistled and accepted the new statue.
and said
“bye.”
crackle. support position.
With a couple of noises, Amkena’s control window closed.
[Error!]
[Connection lost.]
The light floating in the sky disappeared.
I said while touching the statue.
“Don’t you guys think we should change the symbol of Niflheim?”
Yurnet blinked.
I carefully put the statue into the pouch behind my belt.
“Goats are unfashionable.
“If you tell me about the toy you’re holding in your hand, I’ll decline.”
Siris coughed.
“You said you regretted it earlier.”
“This and that are different matters.”
Siris smiled at me.
‘this.’
Middle school students who don’t know how to look cool.
I clicked my tongue.
oh oh
At that moment, a cry was heard from somewhere.
I reached out. Bifrost, which had been stuck on the floor, flew up and was caught in his grasp.
There is no need to speak out.
Everyone was already preparing for battle.
Their expressions were full of tension, as if they were relaxed.
‘I’m not alone.’
It was a strange feeling.
To have someone by your side.
A tingling sensation that I hadn’t felt in a very long time.
At the same time, a new fighting spirit flared up.
‘The end exists.’
One day, winning or losing will be the difference.
The time will come when this long, long war will end.
Until then, will I be able to stand here?
let’s say that
A laugh came out. Even when I was alone
I don’t fight a losing battle.
Aaaaaaa!
Thousands of fragments poured out.
Of course, winning… … .
“It’s here.”
I raised my Bifrost.
Other heroes jumped beside me.
