chapter 20
20 – Farewell
Quaaang
-Kaaa!
I plunged the holy sword into the guy’s chest.
Did you finish it?
-This… this… A lowly mortal!
A black divinity attacks me in the form of an elongated line.
I let go of the holy sword from my hand and distanced myself from Beerze.
Chae Chae Chaeng
As soon as I left, numerous black lines penetrated the place where I was.
Each and every one of them was a black line that gave off a creepy, ominous energy.
It felt like it would end the moment I touched it.
It’s a different type of attack than the magic bullet from before….
More than that, I clearly inserted it into the guy’s chest.
Was it shallow? .
“Summon the Holy Sword.”
The holy sword returns to my grasp.
When the holy sword disappeared, I noticed a large hole in the guy’s chest.
And a brightly colored sphere visible inside the hole.
“Hyeonwoo. That.”
“Yes. “Maybe it’s that one.”
This is the part I need to attack in order to give him a good hit.
Beergé covered the hole in his chest with his healthy hand.
It is certain.
No matter what attacks he has received from me so far, he has never shown anything like that.
That part is probably his vital area.
-Human! Human! Everything is decided to disappear! I will destroy your soul so that you can never return to the cycle of reincarnation again!
Numerous portals appeared behind him.
An enormous divinity was felt in each portal.
No matter how weakened the god is, is it still like this?
The flow of power felt in this attack was so powerful that it was a shame that he could not finish it off with the previous attack.
“Ha. God must be very angry about this.”
“Ecclesia?”
She came to my side.
“Hyeonwoo. “It’s an operation.”
“Operation?”
What are you talking about?
“The attack you used in the final duel with me in my past life. Insert it into its ‘core’.”
Nucleus.
Are you talking about that bright sphere I saw earlier?
“It’s an attack I used in my past life….”
Are you talking about releasing all the power of the holy sword and using it?
“You can do it, right?”
“Yes. You can do it. But if I use it, all the power of the Holy Sword will be consumed and I will become a five-year-old child with no power.”
“I see. You definitely defeated me and the light of your holy sword went out. …… But it’s okay.”
Are you okay?
“I will also use everything to aid your attack. “It makes my magic run wild.”
Runaway magic power!
“Now, wait a minute! “It’s too dangerous.”
“It’s okay. My magical power is at a level that cannot be compared to that of other humans. Even if I let my magic run wild, my body won’t suffer any problems. However, after using this, I will become an ordinary child without magical powers for a while.”
“Are you saying we have to risk everything on this one shot?”
“Yes. “Can you do it?”
“I have to do it.”
There is nothing I could have done for what I have achieved so far.
All the things that had to be done.
Unfair things that happened as if the world itself hated me.
I have always overcome.
This time too.
We will do it.
Kugugugugung Palace
An ominous rain of divinity pouring down from numerous portals.
“It’s coming!”
“I will stop it! You destroy the ‘nuclear’!”
“I understand!”
After hearing her words, I launched myself towards Beerje.
“Absolute Shield.”
Ecclesia raises her hands high in the sky.
A black shield emerged surrounding me and her, blocking all of her divine rain.
“Ugh!”
A great spectacle of someone single-handedly blocking the attack of an angry god.
But I could see blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
“Eh, Ecclesia!”
“Don’t stop!”
A familiar situation.
This is a situation I have always faced as a warrior.
The moment you stop for the person behind you, it becomes an act of ignoring the will of that person.
No, the sacrifice of that existence will be in vain.
Rather, the warrior must move forward.
Using all the power of the holy sword, he launched himself towards the heart of God.
Numerous lines flying towards me in the air to attack me.
Kwang Kwa Kwang Kwaaang
They were all intercepted by Ecclesia’s magic.
A connection that fits together like colleagues who have been together for a long time.
… We were together for a long time. Enemy.
Not anymore!
“Go…” . Hyun Woo… ….”
“aaah!”
-Nothing like mortals!
Tear off Beerze’s hand and go inside….
-Oh, no, no!
Clink
I shattered his heart.
Wooooow
At that moment, Beerje’s divinity spins in all directions.
I see.
This heart… Was it created by condensing divinity?
The heart broke and the divinity within it spread out.
The appearance of Beerze turning into powder and disappearing at the same time.
-My… Oh, so vain…….
Blame
And I barely managed to land on the floor.
Did they really get it done this time?
Tuk
Ecclesia fell to her knees.
I trudged along with a weak body to check on her condition.
I felt that all the sacred power of the holy sword was exhausted.
Let alone strengthening the body, the physical capabilities of a five-year-old child are limited.
Ecclesia looks fine even though her mouth is full of blood.
“Is this guy dead?”
“Yes. We did it. That too, God.”
“hahahaha. Killed god “I never thought a day like this would come.”
That’s right.
I never thought the day would come when I would join hands with the devil and defeat God.
“Evil gods who were driven out by the current gods. Maybe they are demon gods. “I plan to kill them all and take revenge on the demons.”
It is the construction of evil gods.
“You and me. “I think it will be possible if the two of us join forces.”
Beerje was hostile to Leah.
Although it was a mistake, he tried to steal Leah’s property.
Perhaps, if we leave the evil spirits alone, our children may end up in danger.
“Okay. “Let’s give it a try.”
Ecclesia is laughing while lying on the floor.
Wow
At that time, an ominous feeling passed through my back.
Surprise?
Peeing
This is it!
Bang
Without realizing it, I moved my body and blocked Ecclesia.
“Tongue, Hyunwoo! “Wow!”
Ecclesia stood up with a panicked expression and collapsed, vomiting blood.
It clearly disappeared… What the hell is this… ….
When I looked back, I saw Beerze turning into powder and disappearing.
I see.
Even though he was destroyed, was there any residual thought left?
I never thought that a phenomenon that can only be seen in monsters could occur in gods.
I was so careless about this.
No, even if I hadn’t been careful, I wouldn’t have had the power to block or avoid such an attack…….
“Tongue, Hyunwoo! In your chest!”
It’s the heart….
I felt a hole in my chest due to the final struggle of the devil’s thoughts.
Since the power of the Holy Sword has been used up, it would be impossible to regenerate the heart.
“Eh, Ecclesia….”
“Don’t say that, Hyunwoo!”
“hahahaha.”
“Why! “Why are you like that!”
“Yes.”
Was Ecclesia that big of a being to me?
To the extent of trying to save her by blowing her body up?
“Oh, no…” . No, Hyunwoo… ! Why… Why even in this life…. “Is it because of me?”
“Ecclesia….”
Just as I was about to open my mouth and say that it wasn’t your fault.
My vision became dark.
* * *
Hyunwoo disappears as if he is being sucked into somewhere.
I tried to hold on to his body somehow, but it disappeared.
“Tongue, Hyunwoo… ….”
Again… is it.
I failed to protect my side again.
“aaah!”
Out of guilt for losing Arwen because of me and anger toward the evil spirit, I hit the ground.
Even this life….
Are you saying that you will take my family away from me even in this life?
If you die, it will just disappear. Does it make sense for your thoughts to remain and attack you?
The small, soft hand of the infant was hit on the ground and blood flowed.
Only for me… Why does this only happen to me?
What would you do if you were the devil?
What would you do if you were a great wizard?
A being that no one can protect.
To my magic… Is it worth it?
I… Is it because?
All the demons from my previous life are dead.
Everyone who was around me died.
Everyone died to protect me.
I thought this life would be different.
No, I thought I would make it different.
In reality, it was different.
No, I thought it was something else.
My younger brother who was reincarnated like me.
I approached Arwen first because I felt an inner intimacy with her.
We grumbled with each other, perhaps because we were both reincarnated children but adults in our minds, but we got along really well.
As if we had known each other since a previous life.
Then, Arwen left for the Holy Kingdom.
Feeling ominous, I followed him and arrived at this cave.
I felt an incredibly powerful being descending upon me.
I saw it the moment I came in.
The familiar sword of light in Arwen’s hand.
The brilliant sword of light that slaughtered me and all the demons.
Arwen… Who would have thought it was the hero Hyunwoo.
Although he is the one who killed me in my past life.
Although he is the one who killed all the demons, I have no ill feelings towards him at all.
Since demons are the reason why demons and humans fight each other, they are enemies.
Since humans killed us to survive and we started the invasion, we had no right to blame him.
A warrior I met after 2000 years.
The hero and the demon king were reincarnated together.
Rather, it would be more accurate to think of it as a match made in heaven.
We were ‘destined’.
In fact, even though it was our first time fighting together, we worked well together and achieved the feat of killing God.
But….
I… Is it because of this?
If it weren’t for me, he would have been safe.
To protect myself… Is he dead?
If it wasn’t just me…… He wouldn’t have died.
Evil spirit.
That guy also disappeared.
Then who should I vent my anger on?
Who should I kill to appease Hyunwoo’s resentment?
Evil spirit…… ?
Yes.
There are other evil spirits.
Everything…… Wouldn’t it be okay to just annihilate them?
For Hyunwoo.
For him who sacrificed himself for me.
