I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

43 – Extermination (2)

Kwak Dong-soo thought as he held on to his torn left shoulder, which was starting to lose all feeling.

‘This bastard is really pissed off. It’s fucking dangerous, isn’t it?’

Like it or not, Kwak Dong-soo knew Faust well, as they had been together for a long time.

The guy never gets angry.

Faust is basically a rational guy and prefers to solve problems through dialogue rather than violence.

However, no one can stop him when his anger crosses the critical point.

Especially since we have the principle of “solving with words as much as possible”

As for the opponent who judged that he had “crossed the line,” he felt that he “didn’t need to look at it.”

Kwak Dong-soo recalled the memory of being beaten back after arguing Faust 3 to 1 with his ignorant friends.

I hated the way he pretended to be good at studying, so I attacked him one week before the SAT with the feeling of wanting to be fucked.

It was on a hospital bed that Faust heard from his parents that he was a Muay Thai practitioner.

The friends I took with me were also hospitalized with fractures and internal ruptures.

Kwak Dong-soo decided not to make Faust too angry with the incident of that day.

Well, of course, as soon as he came over to the other world and was convinced that he was the best, he forgot about that decision.

“Chi, my friend. Let’s not do this, okay? Yes, I will apologize. not! I’ll just be your follower! Well, that seems to fit my subject. How are you? You, you’re not bad either, are you? Think about it. You mean I, a warrior by name, will be your subordinate?”

“Hmm… ”

“You don’t know, but the power of a hero is really useful. I’ll make all the royalty and nobles tremble in front of you, huh?”

Faust left his stupid friend to rant.

Taking it as a positive signal, Kwak Dong-soo’s bullshit spurred on.

Because he had just returned from treatment at the cabin, his world had been turned upside down and he did not even know that he was no longer a hero.

“As a real warrior, I will push you from behind. Let’s get together again as friends and get along well. After all, they’re all characters in the game, and we’re the only players, right? Games are fun when you play with friends. Uh, what about Faust?”

“Do you still think you are a hero?”

“uh?”

“Then, as of now, he’s a guy who doesn’t know the world.”

“What are you talking about?”

Faust slowly drew the holy sword from his waist.

When he saw the holy sword Exod, which was originally his, Kwak Dong-soo unconsciously reached out.

Holy sword!

That is the mark of a hero!

Whether you are a hero or not depends on whether or not you use the holy sword.

When a hero holds the holy sword, it transforms into a legendary weapon that can kill even the demon king, while the holy sword held by others becomes a soft knife that cannot even cut paper.

This is because the Holy Sword refuses to lend its power to unqualified people.

So, Kwak Dong-soo stretched out his hand without any vigilance. Because the holy sword would not pose any threat to him as a hero.

However, the holy sword suddenly cut off Kwak Dong-soo’s wrist. It was a very clean cut, if not as good as O/X Pierrot.

“Kwaaagh!! Seebaaal!! This psycho bastard!! aaa!!! How can a friend’s arm!!! How can I get my friend’s arm!!!”

“Didn’t you know? A week before the exam, I already thought of you as no friend at the point you brought the bullies to ruin my life. Your parents and my parents are close, so I had no choice but to not cut off the relationship after that.”

“Ahh… ! arm… ! Ahhh… !!”

“If you have a conscience, you can’t make friends with me. Shall we take a closer look? Aside from the Lynch case, you borrowed money from me as an excuse to live after that? If I didn’t lend it to my parents, I had no choice but to lend it to them. Needless to say, I took all that money away.”

“Ahhh… ! Boo, please. please let me get treatment please… That’s what I did wrong, really. To be honest, I also dropped out of college and had no answers in life… But I want to play, so… Honestly, you were the only friend I could borrow money from. Ah-oh… ”

“I even made my grandmother buy a long-term installment cell phone with an expensive plan that she didn’t need. Hearing the words of the grandmother who trusted her because she was her grandson’s friend, how hot she was. If you really thought of me as a friend, would you have done such a thing?”

“… That’s what I want to eat… ”

“After being summoned to this world? Even if you became a hero, isn’t it because your reputation has fallen since then because you’ve been doing nothing but bullshit? Then you should think about trying to raise your reputation. Why are you ruining my life? Have I ever interrupted your work? Or did you conspire as a traitor to become a hero in your place? Why should my life be ruined because of your zeal? Tell me.”

“… … … … … … … .”

Even with ten mouths, there was nothing to say.

Kwak Dong-soo swallowed dry saliva like a mute who had eaten honey.

The left side was cut off from the shoulder blades, and the right side had the wrist cut off.

I lost so much blood that my vision was blurred and I felt like I could hear the footsteps of the god of death in my ears.

‘I want to live’

‘I think I’m going to die’

‘Now that both hands are out of use, it is impossible to defeat Faust’

‘No, I never fought this bastard and won’

‘Ah fuck… It was good when I became a warrior first and harassed this bastard’

‘But why does this bastard have a holy sword? And why does the holy sword strike me?’

‘I don’t know fuck… Come to think of it, why am I fighting that bastard in the first place?

‘We were friends though… ‘

‘Yes, the only friend I’ve known for more than 10 years is that bastard. But why did they fall out?’

‘… Was it because my mother made me angry when I was bored, comparing myself to that bastard and telling her to take an example?’

‘Whoa, now that I think about it, it wasn’t such a great reason.’

‘Fuck… It wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t just bullied that bastard in the first place’

‘Why do I spend such foolish times… ‘

“Hey… !!!”

After losing too much, Kwak Dong-soo finally began to realize the feeling of regret.

He came over to the Pangea continent, immediately became a warrior, and has been overprotected all along.

Even after falling off the cliff, she was able to come back alive thanks to Tiffania’s devoted care.

Always by my side, someone helped.

Kwak Dong-soo looked around with desperate eyes.

Find someone, someone to help you.

However, the reality reflected in his eyes was devastating.

“Pow… St… sorry… Whoops!”

Saint Beatrice muttering something in an incomprehensible pronunciation as her face is all crushed.

“Bridge! legs… !! my legs!! I can’t get up! Can someone help please! Sigh… Sigh… What to do with this? Is it better to get better? what to do with this? Where in the world is a thief who can’t walk? Sigh… please… ”

Dyna, a thief who grapples with tendons and complains of pain

“Ugh… ugh… Why, why are you rejecting me? The world tree and the elves are pushing me away. Why… ? Did I do something wrong… ?”

Tiffania, the elf still fainting and talking in her sleep

“Oh, it’s hot! Someone pour me some water! Your face is burning! please! It’s hot!!”

Wizard Serena rolling her face on the ground

“… … … … … .”

A knight Alice who doesn’t move at all.

He might really be dead.

In other words, there was no one left to help Kwak Dong-soo.

It is said that people accept death through stages of denial, anger, negotiation, depression, and acceptance.

Even Kwak Dong-soo, who was united by vulgarity and impudence, felt quite sentimental in the face of imminent death.

‘The party members who will help me are all half-baked’

‘I can’t fight because both my hands are cut off’

‘ah… Am I really going to die?’

Seeing Faust standing dignifiedly holding the holy sword, Kwak Dong-soo quietly realized that even if he ran away, it would be useless.

dilemma

slope on all sides

isolation

In a desperate situation, Kwak Dong-soo’s choice was to kneel down and sincerely repent.

“Ahh… ! It’s Faust… I’m really sorry. i’m real I’m so sorry. I was really wrong. No matter how much you think… I guess it’s all my fault You didn’t do anything wrong to me, but in every case, I just quarreled and kept playing pranks that could ruin this life. money… It’s true that I was an idiot when I borrowed money and didn’t pay it back, and shouted loudly. Ahh… I’m really sorry.”

“This wouldn’t have happened if you had just paid the money back. There was no way I was possessed by the game world in the first place.”

“Uh… That’s right. That’s really right. Ahh… ”

Kwak Dong-soo put his forehead on the ground and made a squeaking sound.

Tears also flowed profusely.

It wasn’t acting for the sake of living, it was tears flowing from the heart.

everything was regretful.

I had thousands of chances to stop it before it happened.

My five organs were twisted at the thought that I had come to this point after being distracted and doing stupid things.

I cursed myself, not anyone else, and wanted to turn back time.

“I… i was sick do you know It’s been like that since long ago. To be honest, there was a time when you tried to teach me to study, but I refused, telling me not to be condescending. My grades are getting better and better, and I dropped out of college, so I’m doing a phone call, but you seem to be getting better and better, so my inferiority complex explodes… Actually, it’s not your fault… Coming to the game world, I’m a hero and you’re just nothing, so I thought this was a chance for revenge… that was my fault aaa!!! I’m really sorry!!! Keugh… ”

“… Did you realize it now, Dongsu?”

“Uh… really sincerely. sincerely. Seriously I was wrong. Anyway, I want to ask for forgiveness. really… I’m wrong… did… is… really… sorry… do… big. Whoa! aaa!!!”

Explosion of emotions.

The once-outpoken words of apology made Kwak Dong-soo’s body collapse as if a small hole collapsed a dam.

And Faust came. In terms of the length of the relationship, towards the oldest friend.

His face was considerably less angry than before, and he seemed to have returned to the days when he still regarded Kwak Dong-soo as a friend, even though he was pathetic.

“How nice it would be if you apologized earlier, Dong-soo.”

“Hey… Uhhhhh… mi sorry I’m really sorry.”

“yes. I wish I had apologized that much. Stop apologizing and I will forgive you.”

“Gee, is it real?”

Kwak Dong-soo raised his head with his face covered in tears and runny nose.

Forgiveness I never thought of.

I thought it was all over now, but could it be possible to live without dying?

If I survive, and if I get the holy sword back, the day may come when I will avenge the humiliation of this day.

It was the moment I thought so.

Suddenly, his vision darkened, and Faust’s face disappeared from his sight.

And I felt a tremendous pain in my stomach.

“… Ugh.”

sick.

But I can’t even say that it hurts. He probably injured his lungs.

I can not breathe. breathing is impossible

“I’ll forgive you with this, so be born good in your next life, Dongsu.”

“… … … !!!!!”

The holy sword pierced Kwak Dong-soo’s intestines.

The former warrior cried out in silence and collapsed.

Knock, knock.

Raindrops suddenly started pouring down. The color of the rainwater was red, perhaps due to the huge explosion that had just occurred.

The Japanese flag began to be engraved on the ground.

“Whoa… You are tired.”

Faust looked down at Kwak Dong-soo. After that, I took pictures of Beatrice, Serena, Alice, and Tiffania in turns.

Close your eyes in the rain

And witness the past that comes to mind like a nightmare in the dark.

“Hey buzzard! You must be taking good care of the horse this hero is riding on, right?”

“Wipe the horse’s rump clean! If the hero smells like horse dung, this Serena won’t be alone!”

“Your attitude as a knight is not very pleasing. I don’t have enough loyalty to the hero.」

“I’m sorry, but the person we elves need is the hero, not a stableman like you.”

“Don’t talk to me again. I really despise people like you!”

Faust opened his eyes again at the intolerable stench from the past.

I saw a party of warriors that had collapsed horribly. This is their reality now.

“… It seems that the heavenly gods are also blessing this banquet. They’re serving you the perfect wine for this spectacle.”

Faust opened his arms and welcomed the bloody rain.

Wine poured in between her wide open lips.

The taste was as sweet as revenge.

—Meanwhile, Misa was engaged in a bitter battle with the academy’s faculty.
