96 – Like Family (7)
Is it because the light that Virgo emitted was quite strong? Or is it because the tremors caused by the commotion here shook the earth far away? Countless monsters began to gather towards this place.
The claim that this area was managed by Virgo was not a lie, but fortunately, no new S-class monsters appeared.
“Are the onlookers here?”
Virgo looked around him with a hollow smile and muttered.
“You said you hated this kind of thing, right? This is what other people pay attention to. “Oh, this is a monster again, so you’re going to be okay?”
How long have you read my story to know such details? Maybe he knows more about me than I do. I laughed along with her.
It may be hidden under the helmet and not visible to Virgo.
“Did I tell you this before? Madness is oblivion. “I want to forget everything and become a crazy b*tch…”
Flutter. And the small wings spread out. Evening-colored feathers were embroidered around the floating Virgo.
“But forgetting everything was harder than I thought.”
Each of the feathers soon became as thin as a sharply forged spear. When Virgo moved his hand, feathers and spear blades were scattered.
The feather that came down leisurely and elegantly is the spear. Even the brightness of the day was erased and a new light was created.
Signs of an explosion, with buildings collapsing, the ground collapsing, asphalt and concrete fragments flying, and pieces of meat rolling around, as if they had been bombed by a fighter jet. A purple explosion cloud shook the area.
Most of the crowd of monsters swarming around evaporated in an instant.
“Even once I thought I had forgotten it, I remember it again. I just want to act like a crazy b*tch and not think about anything, but it’s so hard… Isn’t it fun? If you want to go crazy, you must not go crazy first. “Only then can you have that desire.”
Virgo was irritated and shook his hair.
“To forget, you must first remember, and to remember, you must first experience. If I hadn’t experienced it in the first place, everything would have been resolved. Then you won’t want to go crazy.”
Slowly she came down, like a demon ascending, like an angel descending.
“You understand, right? How I feel. “You wanted to be like me.”
It stopped in front of my nose, floating about 50cm off the ground so that it could make eye contact with me. There was no body odor. Her unique, dust-like scent was all that came from her.
“You said you wanted to be like me. “But why?”
A scent that gives you an idea of her life. A shabby scent that can be smelled in ruins. A scent that proves that her life is now a ruin.
The age shown on the outside is still in the late teens to early 20s. He is short and his skin is so pale that it is not white. Although she should have a bright appearance on the outside, she wasn’t like that.
“Why are you there?”
Unfortunately, I don’t understand everything this girl says. Because I have no memory. She doesn’t know her life, and she doesn’t know what I’ve been through with her.
She may be saying something incomprehensible, but from her perspective, it may be me who doesn’t understand.
If madness is oblivion, then the madness is mine.
“Don’t do this. My identity is about to be shaken. “It looks like you who are crazy, not me.”
The quest’s success voice still hasn’t rang.
[Oppa!]
Ayoon’s voice came from the belt.
[The explosion and beam just now! It’s Birgo, right? My brother is there too! I could see it from far away! I’ll go there now! No….]
A butterfly flew in and landed among Virgo’s feathers floating in the air. The butterfly’s appearance disappeared, and a figure appeared, leaping from her dimension.
“I’m already here!”
White and pink armor. A wing-like fabric that decorates the shoulder area. The most characteristic decoration was a Cassiopeia-shaped belt with a central lens.
Five stars that originally belonged to different constellations shined at the same time, creating a completely different constellation called Cassiopeia.
Was he surprised by the sudden appearance? Virgo’s eyes narrowed greatly. Also, that face.
Joayun kicked Virgo in the face without any delay. Even monsters would feel pain from the leg power filled with starlight. Virgo began an involuntary flight.
“It’s okay… What?! “What’s wrong with him!”
She screamed loudly in surprise as she saw Red Vega in her arms.
“Well, it’s just as you imagined.”
Boom! A dull impact sound was heard from the place where Virgo flew. I turned my attention there. Jo Ayun guessed everything and frowned greatly.
“This idiot… What was he thinking when he attacked Virgo? Did you want to lose all your magic and commit suicide in this dangerous place? If you see it, run away!”
“Isn’t that what you want to say?”
“I was noisy, and as a result, I survived.”
“I’m proud.”
“Then I’m proud.”
Ayoon Jo smiled and took my hand.
“Then let’s escape right away. “There’s no need to hang out.”
“Wait a minute.”
I let go of that hand and took the Red Vega I was holding just a moment ago. Baek Ah-hee was placed in her arms. When transformed, his physique was similar to mine, so it seemed like it would be no problem to hold him.
“…?”
Jo Ayun stared at me. Even though I couldn’t tell his expression, it was clear that he was puzzled.
“I’m not going.”
“Why? What else? Can’t control your power? “Do you want to run wild like a bear?”
“It’s not like that….”
I stepped forward, gently pushing Jo Ayun’s shoulder. As soon as he did that, a purple line was drawn towards the front. He swung the ax that had not let go of his hand until now and struck back.
Tung! The beam bent through my ax into the earth’s crust and flew in the wrong direction.
“I have something to solve.”
A loud shout was heard from afar.
“Do not disturb!!!”
Virgo shouted in anger.
“Don’t get in the way, you smelly little kids!”
“What? “Who’s the kid?”
When Jo A-yoon tried to make a sudden move, I quickly grabbed her shoulder.
“…I will solve this problem. “You must evacuate Vega to a safe place.”
“Oh really….”
She sighed deeply and caught a butterfly again in her fingers.
“See you later.”
“Yes.”
She had no doubt that I would come back. I nodded and answered her.
“I’ll see you later.”
Butterflies flew quickly through the sky, and their appearances disappeared before my eyes. Most of the onlookers fell prey to the rays and evaporated, and the only remaining onlookers were dust and sparks.
“Now it’s really just the two of us left.”
“So~ were you considerate of me? Thank you. hahahahaha, you wanted to be with me too, right? “I’m happy~”
I still have rapid mood swings. Where had the irritation from just now gone? Virgo came out of the smoke and was smiling leisurely.
“This is the final warning! Take off the tingle right now and come to me. “I’m going to chase after the kids who ran away earlier.”
“I chase after you, what are you going to do?”
“What can I do?”
Virgo sparked in his hand and then clenched his fist.
“I have to kill him. And while we’re out, we’ll also cause massacre! “I have to work hard every day for destruction!”
“That’s troublesome.”
I grabbed her ax and pointed it at her. A sharp ax made of iron that is obscured by lightning and cannot be seen properly. Virgo’s eyebrows twitched.
“…You know. Didn’t you decide to listen to me today? Why do you rebel like this? Annoying?”
“I’m sorry.”
I moved the belt with my other hand.
“I am naturally self-directed. “I can no longer follow your words nicely.”
“Ah~ Really?”
Virgo laughed and pointed all his feathers at me, then raised his finger and pointed at me.
“Then I have to die.”
It rained light. Raindrops of a color similar to the gloomy purple sky at sunset fell mercilessly towards this place. As if I were the center of gravity.
As I took in the baptism of light with my eyes, I asked Belt for a favor.
‘Hey Belt.’
[What is it?]
‘Activate the star.’
[…You mean now?]
Every time I activated the stars I had collected, my memories were regenerated and I went through a lot of trouble. I even had the experience of collapsing in the bathroom.
After learning a lesson from this, I made one decision.
Instead of activating all stars every time you get them, let’s activate them all at once when you want them.
This decision was in vain, and the belt regenerated its own memories, but at least I did not see the memories embedded in the star.
But now, I wanted to break down this resolution.
[Memory regeneration during battle is dangerous. In case of loss of consciousness, the responsibility lies entirely with the guardian…]
‘Do you want me to show you while I’m losing consciousness?’
I don’t know if it will work or not, but I gave it a try.
“Left eye. Show me your memories here only. Is it possible?”
After a very short delay, the belt answered.
[It is possible. However, the guardian’s body cannot withstand it. There is also a possibility that the entire brain will burn out.]
“Do it if you can.”
The meaning of the quest to keep Virgo alive, as well as her current regrets, must be answered within this memory.
But I don’t have time to leisurely read the memories right now. All of this had to end before Virgo slaughtered her once again.
“They say it will destroy the world,”
A feast of lights that are as colorful and endless as a kaleidoscope. Rays of light, like the words in her letter from Virgo, were still coming towards me to be received.
Strangely enough, the whole scene seemed slow now.
I too was part of that light. A pale and cold flash of lightning. The mechanical wildness that was eating away at my body spewed out in the form of a thunderbolt and ran wild.
[I understand.]
An answer is heard from Belt in a blindingly bright light.
[I will activate the star. However, memory retrieval is limited to the left field of vision.]
My left eye was blinded by light. A nostalgic scenery approached from beyond.
Virgo was standing there too. In the past, she shoots a beam of light at a monster to protect me.
She was standing on the other side, in reality as well. She fired a beam to kill me.
Her head hurt like crazy. Her eyes felt like they were being pricked with a soldering iron and the pain was melting, and her breathing was also painful.
However, it was possible to move.
I swung the ax and cut down the rays.
And then walk forward.
I walked forward.
I ask Virgo.
I asked Virgo.
“What do you want to do when you go out?”
“Why are you trying to destroy the world?”
Virgo answers.
“First of all, I want to watch a movie with my mom! What movies are popular these days? Jaejoong, aren’t you curious?”
Virgo answered.
From noble mtl dot com
“hahahaha, are you asking the obvious?”
She rushed over quickly, pulled out a beam of light like a sword, and swung it at me.
“It’s been a long time since I forgot everything!”
I was remembering the me I had forgotten, and I was forgetting the Virgo I had remembered.
To borrow a phrase from the woman who said that forgetting is madness, she was becoming more and more crazy.
