Episode 68
* * *
About 10 minutes before the channel notification appears,
A large open space on the 6th basement floor of the research center.
“… … .”
Geo’s distorted expression instantly calmed down.
The ‘seed’ was born.
When it’s fully opened, no one knows what will happen to the dragon connected to it.
The blue light grows darker, and enemies swarm in.
In that blue, Geo looked at Baek Do-hyun.
Their quiet gazes meet.
Baek Do-hyun read her intentions. So he responded with a clean smile as usual.
“… … Yes. There is still time.”
The door, the gate, is still in the process of opening. The dragon is also still alive.
It’s not too late for anything.
Baek Do-hyeon took up the sword.
“Do what you want to do.”
“… … .”
“I will guard your back.”
It was simultaneous that they turned in such different directions.
To the dragon that holds on.
Baek Do-hyeon to the enemies.
People whose reason has disappeared from his face and eyes.
The face had prominent black veins. It was a common symptom of those addicted to the ‘liberation drug’, Manumision.
What would happen if we took suffering away from humans?
Will I really be happy?
‘no.’
Baek Do-hyun knows ‘because he saw it’.
I knew how they ended up.
A person without pain has no sorrow.
There is no joy for a man without pain.
You won’t even know what you’ve lost, and you’ll just wander around empty-handed, searching for your lost life.
Fighting endlessly, hurting others, and hurting myself without feeling anything.
Without even leaving a single word, I will die like an animal, not a human, in a way worse than an animal.
That’s not human life.
Baek Do-hyeon also knew that, so he started this eons of suffering again.
I chose.
‘My shadow will eventually lead me to the light, and my suffering will eventually lead me to salvation.’
[The unique skill of the Holy Spirit, ‘Order of the Agent’ is activated.]
[The judgment seat of good and evil opens.]
[First sword, ‘–‘ agreed to the execution. Second sword, ‘–‘ refused the execution. Third sword, ‘–‘ is silent. Fourth sword, ‘–‘… … .]
[The 10th sword, ‘Kalki’, executes judgment.]
Half of the swords agreed.
He laughed.
Five black swords are allowed to him. His strikes are now multiples of five.
The enemy is before your eyes.
The king is behind you.
The sword of judgment chosen by the constellation and the world.
Baek Do-hyeon, the ‘Knight in White’, drew his sword and rushed into the hundreds of enemies without hesitation.
[Why… why do you do this?]
[I also feel that you are strong, King of Humans. However… …this worthless life has already left your hands.]
“shut up.”
Inanimate objects and animate objects were definitely different.
Even for Gyeonji-oh, who breathes and lives within magic as if breathing, reading the biological structure was not an easy task.
Geo, who was injecting magic power, moistened his dry lips.
The fairy dragon’s body is currently a time bomb.
It’s no different from a bomb with a complicated tangle of wires.
If you touch even one connector incorrectly… … it will explode.
‘If this continues, my head will explode first.’
The Seed Gate, intertwined with that damn alien force, made the difficulty even more extreme.
Sweat beaded on Geo’s nose. Amphitrich sighed.
[Little King, you have already done enough… …]
“Fuck. Shut up!”
Situations that didn’t go as planned were completely unfamiliar to Gyeonji-oh.
Geo, who had been yelling, grumbled. Shut up, shut up, shut up!
“Who are you trying to embarrass? I promised you. I promised you that I would get revenge. Do you think my promise is that easy? What do you know!”
I thought I could do it.
I made the promise because I thought it would be easy.
If you think that it is a difficult problem that is impossible from the beginning, then you are a person who will not even give it a second glance.
Because having power and being responsible for something is a really horrible thing.
It was a pathological disgust, a childhood trauma.
The dying fairy dragon, Amphitrich, looked quietly at the king, who was smaller than her own eyes.
[Little human… … .]
[Poor child. This is not your fault.]
“… … .”
[This will not harm your honor. There is no reason to be stubborn. Just listen to my request… … .]
Just let me go.
The dragon’s will resonated in my head. Strongly.
Geo felt something prickle in him.
“Hey. Me.”
[… … .]
“I am…….”
It was the boundary between minors and adults.
The human being standing on the border said, “I, obviously.
“I’m not a sage though.”
[… … .]
“He’s not a bad person.”
I’m just a ‘person’ who is a bit more moody and self-willed than others.
He was definitely not a villain who couldn’t feel any emotions or degrees.
“So stop talking nonsense about being stubborn and all that. And please stop talking nonsense like asking someone who is trying to save you to kill you.”
Not for honor or anything like that.
“I just want to take responsibility for my promises.”
The battlefield has already been opened.
I was already in the middle of a battlefield where I could neither run away nor ignore it.
Behind him, there is blood and the sound of metal, and beneath his hands, a dying life is throbbing.
I’m really annoyed and disgusted by the current situation, but even if it’s a bad promise, a promise is a promise.
Because I am not a good person, but I am not a bad person either. Because I do not want to take responsibility, but I know the responsibility.
He said, as if he was pulling himself together.
“You won’t die today. If you die, Yoon Ui-seo’s revenge won’t be accomplished. Do you plan on leaving me with this feeling of guilt for not keeping even one little promise? Don’t even dream about it.”
Geo focused again.
Magic power became more dense. Like a surgeon on an operating table, he obsessively awakened each and every cell.
If her magic gets mixed with seeds or artificial blood vessels, it could end up killing the dragon.
‘one.’
Kyeonjioh started to perform the ritual.
A scalpel-like force cut the first line.
Two. It was successful. Three, four. It was continuous. Five. My senses became sharper.
Ten. The pace was picking up. Seventeen. There was hope.
Twenty. Amphitrich raised her head. Twenty-five, thirty, forty… … .
It was a task of separating the dying from death.
In my absorbed ears, notification sounds such as ‘super senses’ and ‘unparalleled genius’ were continuously activated.
So I didn’t know.
What message was mixed in there?
It was the moment when Geo was about to check the dragon’s condition while cutting off the fifty-fifth and sixth lines.
grasp!
A view that rotates in an instant.
Because I was so focused, it wasn’t easy to understand the situation.
First, my sense of smell was awakened.
‘The smell of blood.’
Geo grabbed the hem of the clothes in front of him. It was damp.
The feeling of blood seeping from the cloth was vivid. It was not visible because of the black clothes, but it was possible to guess that he had been soaked in blood.
Phew, hook.
Hot breath and a rapidly throbbing pulse also slowly come to my senses.
Geo raised his head from Baek Do-hyun’s arms.
“… … What is it? What are you doing?”
“F*ck… … .”
“Wh, what is it? You just swore at me… …”
– —!
… … A scream? A roar? A scream?
No. It was a sound that could not be expressed in any words.
It’s the first time I’ve heard this kind of howl since I was born.
Geo’s face became blank.
And only then did I realize.
How far Baek Do-hyun was able to distance himself from the dragon with just one move.
Also, the existence of messages that have not been confirmed yet.
[━ Gate Open]
[Seongnam Pangyo┃Estimated Level: Error]
[《Magical World Transformation》 is in progress.]
Baek Do-hyun covered Geo’s eyes, clenching his teeth tightly.
The dragon’s screams, cries, and appearance were so horrific that even he could not bear it.
“Put it away.”
“… … It’s better not to look.”
“Clean it up.”
“… … .”
A hand slowly lowering, and the view revealed to it.
The space was changing rapidly.
Everything that meets the eye from the feet where they stand.
Colors were tangled, building forms were collapsing, and the walls, floors, and even the people lying around were all squirming and mixing together as one living thing.
The boundary between the underground and above-ground floors also disappeared.
They were all connected like blood vessels, reaching one place. A dark, black starting point.
and.
Right underneath it.
The blood vessels that Gyeonjio had not yet been able to cut off were swallowing the dragon.
Cruelly and painfully.
“Just let me go.”
“… … .”
“Just listen to my request… … and let me go.”
“… … Geo?”
Melting buildings. Sky opening up between them.
As the cracks began to mix with dark sulfur, demonic monsters began to appear.
In the middle of the city.
It would be right to run out right away to prevent damage.
For some reason, Baek Do-hyun couldn’t take his eyes off Geo. It was instinct… … .
It was accurate.
Woooooooooooo-!
‘Deja vu.’
A sense of foreboding on a certain day brought on by a long resonant sound.
Baek Do-hyeon, who had been looking up at the sky without realizing it, suddenly looked back at Geo. And then he realized something.
That’s… …not ‘Kyungjio’.
“… … [Bookmark – Number 0. Slayer of the Enemy.]”
Next up is number 4. Grim Reaper.
Short hair flashed before my eyes, then was immediately covered by a black hood.
She was there, in the place where the unusual wind blew.
‘magician…….’
Magician, King.
It was ‘Joe’s’ participation.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
