For Ami, death was not something that would happen in the distant future, but rather an undeniable evil friend who had been with her since childhood.
In fact, this was not something that only applied to ARMY, but to anyone who lived in that era.
In a time of war when news of the death of someone next door was a daily occurrence, everyone stayed by the side of death.
A warrior who frequents the battlefield as if it were his own home.
A maid who has never held a sword other than a kitchen knife.
A widow’s reserve force that sent her husband to battle.
Everyone died equally, and in unexpected and absurd ways.
Was it because death was common and fair?
Ami has been in countless crises, but she has never once feared death.
Even if a sword was pointed at his neck, he could not imagine the moment when his own head would fly off and his life would end.
I didn’t think there was any need to imagine it.
Because when you die, it’s just over.
Asking me to imagine the unimaginable just makes my head hurt.
People praised Ami as a natural warrior because she swung her sword calmly and without panic in any situation, but she was just thoughtless.
Rather, it seemed strange to Ami that she was hesitating in fear of something unimaginable.
There were many times when I seemed foolish, because that hesitation cost me my life.
I thought I would never understand their fears, their foolishness.
Until I met Woo.
It was the first time.
I have experienced defeat several times, but it all happened in training grounds far from the front lines.
It was the first time I had ever faced defeat on the front lines, and in such a situation where I had no help from anyone.
When Ami saw the shadow approaching her, she felt the edge of the death blade touch the nape of her neck for the first time and shivered in fear.
Even though she swung her sword wildly, Ami took the blow as if she was accepting the tantrum of a crying child.
From the outside, it might have looked like a fierce battle with dozens or hundreds of rounds, but Ami could tell.
This is just a way to kill time until Hanji arrives.
The first time I realized my helplessness, other than Hanji.
One of the biggest walls in her life, which even Hanji could not avoid, has now been resurrected from the past and is blocking her path once again.
[Army!! What’s going on!!]
Ami’s fear was passed on to Kasumi, who shared the same feelings.
Kasumi, feeling a sense of crisis due to the precarious feeling of standing on needles, shouted urgently, but unfortunately, she did not have time to answer Ami.
The true Demon King is now before Ami’s eyes.
Long ago, there were many different races who called themselves Demon Kings, but most of them were just scarecrows with no real identity.
Only a very few powerful people were truly called Demon Kings, and they were a symbol of fear, feared even by fellow Demon Kings.
Such a being is now blocking our path.
Ami unconsciously took a step back as the trauma resurfaced after hundreds of years, and she thrust her sword forward as if showing off her last bit of pride.
Just looking at his trembling sword, it was clear that he had lost his will to fight.
Udo also didn’t seem particularly interested in Ami, so he didn’t show much hostility.
Rather, he seemed to be wondering why the being in front of him had such a deep fear of him.
Ami gritted her teeth, feeling relieved at that fact, but also disgusted at the fact that she had admitted defeat before even fighting.
“I think I’ve seen that sword somewhere… .”
Woo, who was looking at Sword and Kasumi with warm eyes like seeing a relative he hadn’t seen in a long time, suddenly smiled and said.
“I remembered. That girl with Hanji. I remember that vicious girl in a bad way, but you were so innocent that I barely remembered you now.”
“Is it plain?”
“Yes, your sword skills were pretty good, but it wasn’t hard to find someone as skilled as you. On the other hand, that vicious woman was bad. Even the devil would stick out his tongue if he saw that woman.”
Surprisingly, they had a common ground in that they both hated Medea, but there was no time to be happy about that fact.
“I don’t know why it came to be in this world, but even though its appearance has changed, its essence will remain the same. Then, should I kill it?”
He announced Ami’s death in a gentle tone, as if he was greeting her well-being, and stepped forward with a very serious expression, wiping the smile from his crying face.
A normal appearance without any posture.
It was an everyday scene more likely to be seen on a walking trail near a residential area than at a gym, but she showed no signs of weakness.
Now that I have reached a higher level as a prosecutor, I can tell.
That defenseless appearance at first glance is actually the pinnacle of defenselessness, capable of dealing with any situation.
Although weaker than in their prime, there was still a gulf deeper than the sea between Uwa and Ami.
Ironically, Ami couldn’t even swing her sword because she had developed the insight to discern the difference in skill, unlike in the old days when she was ignorant.
‘…Can I escape?’
Death is not something to be afraid of.
But if he is killed by her, he will not be able to achieve his goal of being killed by Hanji.
Ami, who had died long ago, had no attachment to life, but she was afraid of dying without leaving any memories on Hanji.
‘I don’t like that… .’
As the goal that took precedence over her will to live gave her courage, her fighting spirit began to burn once again.
The mana that shone like a flame enveloped the sword, stopping Woo’s steps for a moment.
There was a small sense of admiration in Woo’s gaze as he looked at Ami, who had regained her fighting spirit.
Rather than being surprised by Ami’s power, he seemed surprised that she had regained her lost fighting spirit.
“You know the difference between a woman and a man, yet you still pick up a sword?”
“Yes!! I can never die until I die by Hanji’s hands!!!”
“… Hanji?”
When the name of a person who died hundreds of years ago suddenly came up, Wu tilted his head as if to ask what kind of nonsense he was talking about.
The only person who knew that Hanji would return in the near future was Felt, who came from the future.
I had nothing but bad feelings toward her for betraying Hanji and contributing to the disparagement of the name of the Uin tribe.
Where did she hear that Hanji would return hundreds of years later?
‘… I guess I can’t just kill him.’
If there is anyone else who has returned from the future besides Felt, this is not a problem that can be taken lightly.
I have nothing but ill feelings towards Ami, who indirectly contributed to betraying Hanji and disparaging the Uin tribe, but if there really was someone behind her, I couldn’t kill her like this.
“You want to die by the hands of a dead person? What’s wrong with you?”
As I pretended not to know and acted coy, a smile began to appear on Ami’s lips.
When Woo, who felt a sense of superiority from the superiority in information from that smile, was unable to come forward and remained still, Ami spoke.
“You can’t even recognize the person right next to you. Even you, the Demon King, have lost your way.”
“… next to?”
Ami, who took advantage of the rare moment when Uga was lost in thought before the enemy, lowered her body and ran forward.
Ami remembers him as having a fiery temper and not liking petty things like schemes.
So he planned to distract her with provocation and then take advantage of her opening, but contrary to her naive expectations, Woo did not get angry at all, and even while lost in thought, he did not take his eyes off Ami.
“There are only more bad tricks.”
As Woo slightly turned his body to dodge the sword strike coming from below and raised his foot, Ami shook her body and distanced herself from him.
I looked at everything with cold eyes the whole time and sorted out my crying mind.
Does not noticing what is right next to you mean you are a traitor?
But since Felt was one of the very few people who told Hanji’s story, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.
‘I told Hanji’s story to that fox, but she seemed half-believing it herself. I don’t even know what connection these guys have to it in the first place.’
I don’t know.
Felt might have been able to glean something from her words, but crying was hard to fathom.
“My head hurts. I guess I wasn’t doing something I normally wouldn’t do.”
“What are you talking about――!”
Before he could finish his words, a sharp downward kick flew towards Ami’s nose.
I was barely able to avoid it because I was surprised by the momentum and staggered back, but if it had hit me directly, I would have died instantly.
The level was the same, but now that I hadn’t gotten the proper equipment, a single punch was a fatal blow, unlike before.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Maybe there’s a secret behind the scenes that Yeo-ui doesn’t know about, so things might get complicated. But whatever happens, Felt will do something about it. Yeo-ui’s husband is capable, unlike your pillar husbands.”
“Honey? What nonsense are you talking about…!!”
“Enough. I don’t want to talk anymore. I hate traitors and madmen. It looks like you are both, so I want to end this as soon as possible.”
He steps forward with an annoyed expression, as if he wants to finish the annoying task quickly.
Ami flung herself backwards, wary of her, but swung her sword diagonally in case she would dig in beyond her expected speed.
As expected, the army dug in faster than expected, but one thing they didn’t expect was that the speed was even faster than expected.
In an instant, he dug into Ami’s arms and escaped the sword’s diagonal line. He grabbed Ami’s two hands that were still on top with one hand and stabbed Ami in the side with the other hand.
As he screamed, unable to bear the water reaching his internal organs, the sword, the only thing he could rely on, fell from his hand.
Unfortunately, however, her spirit never transferred from Kasumi’s body back to the sword.
Ami has been using Kasumi’s body for too long.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the two souls, who had originally become one because their soul wavelengths were in sync, have now become beings who cannot be separated.
“Oh, I didn’t hear that. How did you betray Hanji? I don’t think he was attacked in any way.”
“Hey, shut up!!!”
“It’s amazing that you came to this point and said such things. Didn’t you say you wanted to die to Hanji? Judging from the way you looked scared by her, it wasn’t a warrior’s spirit of victory. What were you thinking when you said such things?”
“I, I… !!”
I want to remain in Hanji’s memories.
If you ask me why I had such thoughts, honestly, the root of that wish was my inferiority complex.
For Ami, who was born a warrior and lived as a warrior, femininity was nothing more than a hindrance.
He considered his scars as a warrior’s badge and was not ashamed of them at all.
Even the care of her hair was extremely sloppy, unlike Medea and Elena, who took minimal care of it even on the battlefield.
That’s why I was afraid of the war ending.
Unlike the two other women who were incredibly beautiful even to her own eyes, Ami’s beauty was not something that was generally accepted by the public.
After the war, Ami, who had no other talent than fighting, thought that she would one day be abandoned by Hanji.
Even if you don’t literally throw it away, if you look for it less frequently than the two people, it’s no different from being thrown away.
He had been training himself to forcefully make the thing he hated his own, but there was a huge gulf between the two that could not be filled with effort.
As she curses her past and falls into a state of despair, a man who wants her femininity reaches out to her.
I thought it was okay if she wanted me, even if it was just for a moment.
So he betrayed Hanji.
I took up the sword with the intention of cutting off my foolishness, but in the end, I was unable to cut off my foolishness until the very last moment.
So I took up the sword, at least to be remembered.
I want to be remembered until the end, even if I hate you if I can’t have you.
I hope you don’t forget me.
I wish I was there, even if it’s just in a corner of your heart!!!
“Ah, aaaah!!!”
The last of his remaining strength was used to strike Woo’s face with his fist, but he was unable to land any blows on Woo, who had already strengthened his body by channeling his energy throughout his body.
“I want to praise you for your tenacity, but there are many warriors who only have great tenacity. You are still plain. You won’t be remembered.”
“No, I…!!!”
“You’re boring, after all.”
The water that pierced his side tore through his stomach and tore open his chest.
Without stopping there, he went further and split Kasumi’s beautiful face in half.
As the fat and blood flowed down like a waterfall, decorating the final moments of Ami and Kasumi, Woo, who had lost interest in the situation, turned his back on the two tattered bodies.
There was nothing reflected in the two people’s eyes that were split in half.
Felt, and Korean paper.
No one’s face is visible.
Ami let out a deep scream and a silent wail at the fact that she was going to die without anyone remembering her, contrary to her wishes.
‘Is this how I die?’
Meanwhile, to Kasumi, who was watching this scene, this all seemed like a dream that happened overnight.
In her eyes, who had never gone as crazy as Elise or Lina and had always lived a mediocre life, what she saw was an extreme result that seemed to mock her foolishness.
I just liked the felt.
Even if Felt had been an ordinary person with no talent, Kasumi would definitely have fallen in love with him.
I just wanted to be by your side.
I just wanted to stand next to you.
If I hadn’t made the wrong choice back then, would I have been able to continue to be by Felt’s side?
Kasumi’s soul began to sink into the darkness along with Ami, unable to fully resolve the pointless question that reached no one.
