188 – Awakening
-“Actually, living until now is almost like a trick.”
The term ‘trick’ is not a lament for being dishonorably young. It was a lament for having lived through postponement of death that day.
“You live again as much as you have lived, and the moment when you live as much as you have lived is the end of life. “The moment I grow to the age I was before becoming like this, I will die.”
Helios actually died that day. However, the scorpion’s venom was poisonous, so instead of death, he was rejuvenated. Rejuvenation has its end.
It was not a life of immortality or immortality, but a life of simple suffering.
What was taken away was not just time, but life.
I decided to end my life.
The physical age of death had already been determined.
It doesn’t get old. Because I will die before I get old.
Her loss was time and death.
“What do you think? “Don’t I deserve to be selfish too?”
“If you risked your life, it’s recognition.”
“But I’m probably not more desperate than you. I’ll still be able to live for a few more years. Well, it’s similar in terms of life.”
Even Watcher had no choice but to admit it. People whose lives depend on it always become desperate.
“So, I’m a bit desperate too. “If you don’t accept, I will desperately try to hinder you.”
“For a person called a magical girl, that is truly righteous.”
“Justice is something I take care of while taking care of my life.”
Helios nodded her head.
“What are you going to do? There’s no time. “If I do something wrong, it will be taken away by Silver Luna, right?”
It was time for Odette to stop Silver Luna. Rather, it was a miracle that it took time until now.
“…Okay, well, it’s good. “You just have to synchronize with me and hold your breath at the same time.”
When the Watcher suggested this, Helios nodded her head.
“It’s nice to communicate well. “Is it because we are in similar situations?”
“Bullsh*t. “As their situations are similar, homophobia will become more severe.”
“That is correct.”
The Watcher stumbled over her body and looked at the location of the quest. Fortunately, it’s not that far away. A place where there is no need to travel quickly due to lightning. Helios can probably keep up with the speed as well.
“But can you catch a scorpion by yourself? Even if it were an alter ego, its power would be considerable.”
“Of course it’s impossible. “It would be hard to hurt him.”
“…?”
Why are you so confident? The Watcher was dumbfounded.
“But you can kill it with an attack that condenses magical power. The problem is that it takes that much time, and during that condensation time, it becomes full of gaps.”
“Have you come to die?”
“No way. So I looked for a collaborator.”
Helios looked around.
“Now the time has come….”
“You Kusogaki (damn kid)! Let’s go together… Ugh… Ugh… Ugh…”
White Davih flew out, out of breath.
“He’s a useful kid, right? “The ability is also good.”
“…I guess you know.”
“It seems like you really know?”
White Davih’s hidden skills. Seungcheong (承聽). The ability to overcome the boundary between life and death and apply the power of the dead to oneself.
If you use that, you can become a level just before divinity. It is powerful enough to deal with scorpions.
“…Huh? “Why are you here?”
“He is our guide. “I will guide you to the scorpion.”
“Aha! You’re saying you’re just going to suck the honey and throw it away! You are the real Kusogaki! “I really like trashy things!!”
Wahhahahaha. White Dabih laughs a lot. That personality was consistent in many ways.
“Really, what happened to her to be a magical girl?…”
“Everything has its own circumstances. “Come on, let’s go.”
Now that everyone has gathered, there is no time to waste, so the Watcher moves immediately.
“You don’t have to do that.”
As soon as I tried to move like that, even that movement became unnecessary.
Contradictions appeared calmly in the darkness of the night.
“Contradiction…!”
“Honestly, I was impressed. “I wonder how many clones he has defeated in such a short period of time… I guess the fear of death is a great driving force in life.”
Two bugs appeared from the cloak of contradiction.
The moment the insects hit the ground, they grew huge, large enough to destroy a cargo truck, and made an unpleasant high-pitched sound.
Crrr! Crunch!
Helios, who watched the appearance, gave instructions in an indifferent voice.
“You were going to take them down at the same time, right? That’s a good thing. Let’s go.”
“It’s good to be positive.”
“Is it true that scorpions taste similar to crayfish?”
“You can check it yourself.”
White Davich blew her horn without hesitation. To that sound, numerous corpse monsters emerged from the ground.
Helios stamped his foot. A huge flame erupted from its feet, and soon the flame took on a certain shape. Fire giant. God of Cheonjo (天照大神).
The Watcher gathered lightning into his axe.
“It will be the last fight. Let’s not hold grudges no matter who lives.”
“I’m narrow-minded. “I will blame you.”
“Okay. I’ll swear at you a lot. If it happens to you, be prepared to be criticized too.”
“It’s obvious.”
With the sound of a scorpion tapping its chin, the final training began.
As it was the last training session, the fight was fierce. Every time the scorpion swung its claws, the road collapsed lightly, the building collapsed, and the glass window became fragments like powdered cookies.
The tail, which resembles a fish hook, moves violently every time, making it difficult to get close.
I couldn’t even brush it. The moment it touches the poison on that tail, something will be lost.
Every gesture is fatal. If you touch even one, you will suffer injuries close to death.
So what was most required in this fight was exquisite distance control.
Boom!
And both Watcher and Helios had become masters of distance control. He had become an expert in dealing with the bugs that were deeply intertwined in his life.
“Ahh! “Don’t take away our kids, dude!”
White Davych was dealing with the zombies from a distance, but as she saw the zombies losing her starlight and control every time they caught her, she also joined the fight.
Of course, I can’t compete with her bare body. She adjusted her flute, not even thinking about hiding her secret now.
The thing that is blown is not a horn, but a beautiful woodwind flute that resembles a flute. Let’s blow it. A girl with a ghost-like appearance appeared behind her.
A dead senior. As she accepted her spirit, White Davich’s eyes changed.
Seungcheong (承聽).
The wind began to blow strangely. The scorpion’s movements slowed down, and its strength also decreased noticeably.
Based on this, the momentum of the fight changed.
Watcher and Helios did not miss the gap.
A move only seen by experienced hunters.
There was no signal from each other. Because I know that the person next to me is aware of this gap.
White thunderbolts soared high into the sky. Pink flames gathered under the ground.
The bridge wrapped in lightning fell, and Yeomhwa ascended to heaven like a dragon.
Cheonchu Golden Pavilion (天墜禽脚).
The Great God of Cheonjo (天照大神). Daeilyeong (大日孁).
The two special moves stirred up the scorpion and took its life in an instant.
Boom! As always, it ended in an explosion.
The hunt has ended.
The man and woman risking their lives looked at each other.
There was jealousy, disappointment, resignation, and relief that the other person did well in those eyes.
In both eyes.
“…Huh?”
“No way, you….”
Both of them couldn’t get anything back.
“Okay. “With this, the training ends.”
Piyung! An ominous purple beam of light erupted from the blast trail where the scorpion had just been.
From all the battlefields so far, from all the scorpion corpses, rays of light rose.
The number is eighteen. It was the total number of the scorpion’s main body and alter ego.
It was strange. All the scorpions would have had to be taken down.
“It seems like something is strange.”
Moscow, who was watching their fight, appeared with a smile.
“Didn’t I tell you? “What I gained from fighting the scorpion was ego.”
Creepy. The ominous beam of light gave me chills and created anxiety.
“Of course, the one with the ego is not the main body.”
All that anxiety gathered towards contradiction. The beam of light solidified into a certain shape. It resembled a scorpion, but with joints and screws visible, it looked somewhat like a machine.
To be precise, it resembled vehicles such as heavy equipment, fighter planes, tanks, etc.
Contradiction climbed onto the nearest thing that looked like a built fighter jet.
“Congratulations. You have passed the first test. “He realized the essence of hunting, realized the preciousness of life, and became stronger.”
The fighter plane soared high into the sky.
“Now it’s time to face a stronger enemy.”
The fighter plane transforms. It became the heart of the main body. The rest of the scorpions’ parts also began to transform. What resembled a tank became the legs, what resembled a drill machine became the arms, and what resembled a boat became the waist and back.
All the parts that rose from the corpse came together and began to merge.
The true form of a scorpion.
From noble mtl dot com
The most vicious beast.
I began to find its true self.
From the beginning, the body of the scorpion was not visible.
The contradiction that took over the scorpion’s ego.
He was not a scorpion, but he became the body of a scorpion.
Han Jaejoong opened his mouth blankly as he looked at the scorpions that had begun to merge in the sky.
‘If contradiction were part of the scorpion, it should have been the subject of a quest…’
But the quest did not instruct this. Belt, a machine that observes possibilities, could not have known about it.
The answer was simple.
The system wanted this.
“…f*ck.”
Dawn began to break. Sunlight slowly illuminated the scorpion’s form.
It is easily larger than a 100-story building. An overwhelmingly huge window. A huge armored knight holding it.
It shines on the scorpion, which has become a wonderful giant combined transformation robot.
