146 – Someday again.
Cough, gasp.
A rough breath, as if he is going to pass out at any moment, comes out of Kang Han-seong’s mouth.
“……”
Choi Si-woo quietly removed the Heart Sword and looked bitterly down at Kang Han-seong, whose complexion was pale due to massive blood loss.
… It was really difficult to manage my facial expressions.
“…In the end, this is what happens.”
Kang Han-seong bursts out laughing as if he had expected it.
Even though he lost, there was no feeling of regret in his eyes.
As he searched through his belongings, he handed over a small remote control with trembling hands.
“…This is the control of the black mountain goat. Cough…Uh, if I die soon, it will go completely berserk.”
So get rid of it before then.
Choi Si-woo looked at the hand that was silently extended and shook his head.
“I don’t think that’s necessary.”
“…What?”
“Look over there.”
At the point I pointed to, a TV that had somehow not been broken was broadcasting the situation.
A huge strange being that screams.
The ‘black goat’ was letting out a death-like scream.
Without the ‘black sheep’, the core and source, that guy was just a strong and big guy.
When the infinite demonic energy surrounding his body disappeared, his boasted defense power and almost immortal regenerative power disappeared at once.
As if to prove it, the awakened people, presumed to have been called by Yuen Zhaoyun, were struggling hard to block the ‘Black Mountain”s path of retreat.
“…But… He’s still dangerous… Just like this-“
“-It’s okay. There are three trustworthy people.”
As if to prove Choi Si-woo’s words, a huge sword the size of a high-rise building rises, cutting through the clouds.
The person holding it was a woman much smaller than the large sword.
He is the Three Swordsman of Heaven and the ‘Absolute Master.’ It was Silphia.
The body of the ‘black goat’ is cut off with one blow.
However, as Kang Han-seong said, it seems as if this is not the end of the story, and it begins to scream as it continues to play.
That moment.
The body of the struggling ‘black goat’ becomes rigid.
The deep gray sacred power creates a chain prison that even the devil cannot break.
Standing at the center of the place was none other than Saint Yurika.
She trained in the world of imagery at the request of Choi Si-woo.
She was called a witch, and she radiated sacred power as if to prove that she had overcome her future self.
But the ‘black goat’ was not easy.
Even if I am cut down by Silphia’s sword strike.
Even if she cannot break the chain and drags it by force.
She is afraid that she is a being created by the power of the devil, so she takes actions that are close to a struggle.
Screams erupt from those caught up.
A death-like despair noisily fills the screen.
It was then.
It seems like he appeared to end the whole situation.
A flash of light more brilliant than anything in this world explodes in the sky.
“…That is”
“I am a hero.”
Hero Erina.
With her ‘unique ability to materialize light’ fully blossoming, she spread her hands above the sky.
A total of 5 swords.
Although it was only a small number, each one had a power similar to that of the great sword that Silphia struck down.
After that, it was all smooth sailing.
As if to prove that she was a warrior possessed by the goddess, Erina rained down heaven’s judgment on the ‘black goat’.
It is cut and broken.
Even the fragments change shape and are crushed if they escape.
A bizarre sound echoes across the earth.
An unprecedented disaster called the ‘black goat’.
It was collapsing so vainly that it did not live up to its nickname.
“It may take some time, but eventually subjugation will be possible.”
Of course, it could have been attempted because the black sheep was rendered incapable of action.
“……”
Kang Han-seong stared blankly at the screen.
He lets out a low laugh.
He sighed as if in despair and looked at the ‘black goat’ with complex emotions in his eyes.
“…I guess it was a daydream.”
My plan is.
“…I don’t know that.”
Choi Si-woo expressed his denial.
I don’t know what would have happened if everything had really worked out the way Kang Han-seong thought.
“…Could he really have become the god of the new world?”
Hearing Choi Si-woo’s playful words, Kang Han-seong cupped his face with both hands.
A red face is revealed between the cracks of his hands.
A voice is heard crying, perhaps from embarrassment.
“…I was wrong, Choi Si-woo.”
“Why are you saying that? ‘I will ascend to the seat of the demon god.’ “What a wonderful statement. Now that I think about it, in a cartoon I saw, someone said this: ‘I will stand in the sky!’”
“Please, please…I feel like I’m going to go crazy hearing this from my student.”
“It was a bit weird for the second year of middle school to come to me at that age.”
Immediately after laughter, silence follows.
It wasn’t long.
About 10 seconds.
A world of subtle silence.
Kang Han-seong was the first to break it.
“…Choi Si-woo. I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
“…Rooftop, can you take me to the rooftop?”
“It’s not a difficult task.”
“Oh, as a side note…There are a few packs of cigarettes in the drawer. Just take one-“
“-Two packs of cigarettes are standard. No, I’ll just take them all.”
“……”
*
Gradually. Gradually.
Choi Si-woo climbed up the iron stairs that seemed to be tilting at any moment and placed Kang Han-seong in his arms down into the water tank.
“…Did you really have to take her in the princess position?”
Kang Han-seong was complaining, but Choi Si-woo didn’t care.
“That’s convenient.”
“…Ha.”
Choi Si-woo gave the cigarette to Kang Han-seong, who sighed, and lit the lighter.
Anyway, this cigarette pack…
“Isn’t this a discontinued type? Zetabee’s Water Bomb…”
“Choi Si-woo seems to know. It’s something I used to smoke. After hearing the news that it was discontinued, I ordered a few years’ supply in advance.”
The two people, who were chatting trivially with each other, smoked cigarettes side by side.
“Choi Si-woo. You have good posture.”
Choi Si-woo was shocked by the glancing look in Kang Han-seong’s eyes.
Well, I guess someone is not an instructor.
Your eyes are fierce…
“…I smoked a little. A little.”
“hahahahaha, you are an awakened person. You won’t get lung cancer, but be careful.”
It was like a conversation between a close brother and a younger brother.
The good atmosphere subsided as we watched the setting sun.
In the distance, you can see the body of a ‘black mountain goat’, casting a huge shadow as if it had completely stopped functioning.
“…Choi Si-woo. Can I ask you one thing?”
“Phew~ Cigarettes taste good. What is it?”
“…This world…”
Has the future finally been destroyed?
Instead of answering, Choi Si-woo took another drag on his cigarette and blew out gray smoke toward the sky.
“As expected, you noticed.”
“Hero Erina, and No Face. If you go that far, there’s nothing else.”
I don’t know what method was used.
However, given the circumstances, it would be reasonable to assume that it came from the future.
Choi Si-woo, who organized his thoughts in Kang Han-seong’s answer, told the truth.
“Yes, that’s right. It was destroyed.”
“…Were you at odds with each other?”
It’s antagonism……
“That’s true, but it was more than I could imagine, more than I thought, more than I expected… The Six Demon Reverse Transformation, the evil was so strong.”
“…Is this the story of No Face?”
Choi Si-woo agrees with Kang Han-seong’s question.
“Yes, even though I used my own , Heartbeat (EX), this was an opponent I could not get through at all. To be honest, I still doubt whether I can win.”
“I see. If Choi Si-woo can say that much… He must really be an overwhelmingly strong man. It’s amazing that his heart hasn’t broken.”
Kang Han-seong finished his cigarette and took out a new cigarette.
Soon, ‘Hmm?’ He belatedly expressed his doubts.
“…Choi Si-woo. Just a moment.”
“…Yes?”
“Heartbeat? Heartbeat? What is that? That’s not a funny name.”
Kang Han-seong gave him a puzzled look, as if wondering what on earth he was doing with a proper noun and why he answered so suddenly.
“Ah, it’s the name of the technology.”
“…Yes?”
“You’ve seen it, right? The Where everything in the world stops.”
Kang Han-seong’s expression hardened at the answer.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Now, wait a minute, can’t it be that… The name of Choi Si-woo’s Choi Jong-oh, who has no power or anything else…?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Choi Si-woo proudly straightened his shoulders and hummed his tune as if to say, ‘I think this is a great naming sense.’
“Heartbeat (EX).”
“……”
“This is the ultimate art I have achieved.”
▶……
The silence continues for quite a long time.
Choi Si-woo looked with puzzled eyes at Kang Han-seong, who just lowered his head and did not respond.
Thick cigarette smoke spits out from his mouth, saying ‘Whoa~’.
“Choi Si-woo, please don’t shout out the names of techniques when fighting other strong players.”
Hmm? This is such a strange thing to say.
Shouting out the ‘skill name’ was proof that it could not be activated without additional actions due to its immaturity.
“Don’t worry. I’m skilled enough to activate it with will alone-“
“-That’s not what I meant…”
*
Wow, why are you all like this?
‘Same goes for Master… Same goes for the instructor… ‘
No matter how you think about it, it’s a cool name…
Choi Si-woo is babbling as if he doesn’t understand.
Kang Han-seong looked at him bitterly and watched the moon appear, signaling the time of night.
“…Choi Si-woo.”
“…Yes?”
“Am I wrong after all?”
Kang Han-seong’s voice gradually becomes quieter.
As if he could no longer stop the bleeding, fresh blood began to flow down his side.
“…I don’t think it’s the right thing to do.”
Choi Si-woo knew very well how distorted this world was.
Even as an unbearable evil approached, people envied and envied each other, antagonized and belittled each other.
In the meantime, the weak who were left out were trampled so that they could never rise again.
In a word, the world is rotten.
It’s to the point where it can’t be fixed anymore.
Therefore, Choi Si-woo was not completely unable to understand such a radical plan.
Choi Si-woo, who experienced the future, knows that there would be no answer if he did not use that kind of hard work.
“…Therefore, I cannot accept the instructor’s ideology, but…I can understand it.”
My past life self also… Sometimes I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be better to kill them all and start anew?’
“…Choi Si-woo.”
I’m dying.
The remaining flame of life is going out.
This is Ganghanseong, whose vessel has already been completely destroyed.
No matter how much Choi Si-woo possessed the power of To bend the laws of reality, it was impossible to fix him.
“I will take the 5th place black sheep to the underworld.”
“……”
“And this is a favor…Cough.”
“…Yes.”
“Please report to the world the evil deeds I have committed, every single one of them.”
Kang Han-seong left the silent Choi Si-woo alone and put his last cigarette in his mouth.
“After death, I am an existence suited to crawling on the ground while being hit by stones…Cough….”
“I guess you hate washing machines?”
“It turns out that the child has a story. It’s a cliché. That’s what I hate the most.”
‘The villain who failed can just leave like this.’
Kang Han-seong smiled bitterly and touched his one remaining eye.
“Choi Si-woo.”
“Yes.”
“If I die…Won’t you take my remaining eyes?”
As I said, I have good eyes.
Almost a supernatural ability, or rather an ability close to authority.
It is through the power of these eyes that I was able to learn oral techniques such as And .
“Definitely…It will be a great help to Choi Si-woo’s future.”
“…I refuse.”
“…hehehehe, are you in a bad mood as expected?”
“Those eyes are the instructor’s pride.”
Choi Si-woo, who was looking at the moon, explained.
It would be a good idea for the disciple himself to take over.
After all, you, the original owner, are the ones who have to take it with you until the end.
“…And I don’t need any special powers anymore.”
Anything more than this is a waste of capacity.
“…I see.”
*
Completely dark.
Suddenly.
I hear the sound of something breaking.
“…… “
Choi Si-woo, who was silent, put down the mast he was smoking.
Even though I know everything, I look to the side.
Hesitates for a moment.
Open your mouth slowly.
“…Instructor?”
“……”
I don’t hear any answer.
The spark of life that has completely disappeared.
Choi Si-woo sensed that Kang Han-seong had gone on a long, long journey.
I lift my hand and close his eyes that have lost their light.
“…Please sleep.”
And I leave my last words to him.
“Someday again…”
Let’s meet again.
