Push!

Blood spurted out like a fountain from the wounds that appeared across Hamel’s body before he knew it.

“… What?”

Even though blood was pouring out of his body, what was in Hamel’s eyes was not fear or fear, but question.

It was his secret.

It was an attack with all its might.

However, not only was it cut too easily, but before I knew it, I had suffered a fatal wound.

The problem was that Hamel had no idea what exactly happened or why it happened.

I clearly saw the opponent swinging his sword.

However.

It was nothing special, just an ordinary cut.

An ordinary cut that doesn’t feel as powerful as your own secret weapon.

But the results were anything but ordinary.

Hamel could not understand this situation.

That’s why I couldn’t help but look at Wade with eyes overflowing with questions.

But Wade did not give any answer to his question.

I just slowly approached Hamel.

“You guy… … !”

Hamel distorted his face and tried to move his body, but the movements were not as smooth as before.

It was natural.

No matter how much a warrior reaches the realm of superhumanity, he is still human in the end.

With a wound like that, I couldn’t move completely freely.

“How dare you… !”

Hamel also knew that fact, so he raised his magic power and determination as much as he could.

The recoil increased the amount of blood gushing from the wound, but Hamel didn’t care.

A power worthy of the word ‘strong power’ once again resided in him and his ink spear.

however.

That power was never released.

Because Wade moved first before Hamel could move.

“… … !”

Seeing that, Hamel hurriedly swung his spear, but the spear could not reach Wade.

There were times when we got close enough to just pass by, but we were never able to touch.

Wade’s body and that sword.

Wade, dodging Hamel’s spear, arrived within a stone’s throw.

“Finish it.”

A cold sentence of death fell on the king of Aguillem.

“Nenooom… !”

Hamel, filled with anger, struck a blow with all his might.

A blow that literally packed all its power, without caring that the wound would get worse.

A blow of immense power that even Wade would find difficult to avoid.

However.

Wade’s sword was one step faster.

Sigh!

The sharply swung sword cut deeply into Hamel’s chest.

“… Yes, to that guy… … .”

Leaving a short remark.

Whisper─

Hamel lay down on the ground.

Wade saw that.

“… Phew.”

I let out a short sigh.

Then, after looking up at the sky once, I looked around.

Then what caught my eye was a devastated street.

The streets, which had originally shined brilliantly, were all horribly broken and ruined, including all the buildings and roads, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

Wade turned around even though he felt a bit of guilt at the sight.

If you make such a big fuss, you have to leave quickly.

It was a car that tried to move with that thought in mind.

Stand tall.

Wade, who had just taken a step, stopped moving.

And then the gaze returned.

To the back.

There, Hamel, who had clearly stopped breathing, was slowly getting up.

It’s giving off an ominous energy that I’ve seen somewhere before.

***

‘This… … .’

I frowned as I looked at Hamel.

No, it happened naturally, regardless of my will.

Part of it was because the eyes gave off a bizarre impression, but that wasn’t the main reason.

The problem was this ominous energy that stimulated my senses.

‘This energy… .’

be used to.

I’ve seen it somewhere.

I immediately searched my memory and found the correct answer.

‘… Hayden.’

The energy shown by Hayden Ra Elbrent, the prince of the Elbrent Empire.

Hamel was giving off an energy that was exactly like that.

The details may be slightly different, but the result is clearly the same.

What on earth is that energy, and what does Hamel have to do with Hayden?

I looked at Hamel with nervous eyes.

“… Oh, really.”

Hamel stood up and spoke for the first time.

Those eyes were full of black, with no trace of white.

“ I didn’t plan on showing this… … .”

With a face filled with irritation and boredom, Hamel began moving his body around.

The movements were as natural as if a person had no injuries.

“Well, I’m still glad.”

Hamel looked around.

“Looking at it, there don’t seem to be many witnesses.”

There was no detailed explanation, but I immediately understood what he meant.

If there were witnesses, it would mean that the intention was to eliminate them all.

I looked at Hamel quietly and said.

“… You’re not human.”

There is no solid evidence. Although it was just a vague intuition.

I felt a strong sense of confidence.

That’s not a human.

“That’s rude. I am human.”

Hamel answered, still frowning.

So I stretched out my finger and pointed at his body.

“The wounds of an average person do not heal all at once.”

“… … .”

Hamel narrowed his eyes.

It’s not that it’s not, the deep wounds that had crossed his body just a moment ago have healed and only smooth skin has taken their place.

It might not have been possible if the saint had personally treated him, but I can confidently say that even if you search the entire continent, you would not find a human being who would perform such a miracle with natural regenerative power.

In other words, that thing cannot be said to be a human being.

“… No matter what you say, I am human.”

“He’s probably just a monster who thinks he’s human.”

“… You keep testing my patience?”

With a stiff expression, Hamel held the spear tightly again.

As I raised my sword, I organized my thoughts in my head.

Given the situation, it is clear that there is some connection between Hamel and Hayden.

The energy that Hamel is giving off right now is too foreign to be dismissed as a mere coincidence.

then.

If my guess is true.

‘We need to dig up information.’

Right now, my temporary goal is to hide from the Empire, but in the long term, my goal is to thwart the ‘Organization’s’ plans.

However, there are too many obstacles to running towards that goal.

Above all, I don’t know too much about ‘organization’.

We don’t know anything except that he wants to start a war and that he has the prince under his command and has enough power to move even the swordsman.

In order to confront them and thwart their plans, we need to know more about them.

But, this connection appeared before my eyes.

‘We need to dig up as much information as possible.’

With that in mind, I looked at Hamel closely.

Soon, Hamel began to move.

Although the purpose was to obtain information, I did not relax.

I don’t know what abilities Hamel has in that state.

however.

“… … !”

I immediately had to gasp and twist my body.

And then a window of inky light passed by my body.

“It’s quite a feat to avoid that. but… … .”

It’s slow.

Hamel said quietly.

Without even having time to counter that attack, I had to swing my sword right away.

Because the window that had missed me had suddenly come back and was pointing at me again.

Quang!

‘Big…’ … !’

Although I successfully blocked it, I had to swallow a groan.

Because the impact and repulsion from the sword was incomparable to before.

“Do you like it?”

Hamel was looking at me with a fierce smile.

“What, where has the power from a moment ago gone? You were very triumphant until just now.”

As I said, my expression may have been a little stiff.

Because it felt like a clash from before.

Hamel has become faster. And my muscles have become incredibly strong.

“Haha. Good, good. okay. That expression suits you very well.”

Hamel burst out laughing, as if he was somewhat amused.

“Yes. You have to know the topic. How dare you try to beat me with something I don’t even know where I got it from.”

Hamel nodded his head the whole time, muttering to himself.

“Ah… I don’t know how long I’ve felt like this. maybe… It seems like it’s been 10 years.”

So Hamel suddenly started reminiscing about the past.

“It was a difficult opponent. I couldn’t use my hands or feet. I’m not as good as I am now, but I was confident in my skills back then, but I got beat up without being able to do anything. That was the first time I felt a wall.”

With eyes that don’t know where they are looking, they tell stories without even asking, as if they were on drugs.

“But it looks like they didn’t expect me to survive. He was fatally wounded in my surprise attack. Even though I did my best… Well, I couldn’t avoid death in the end.”

“… … .”

I was quietly listening to the story.

I was wondering if I could get some information from that trivial story of the past.

“Aren’t you curious who he is?”

But Hamel suddenly asked me a question.

“… Well.”

To be honest, I’m not curious.

However, I was afraid that if I said it so clearly, Hamel would stop talking, so I gave a lukewarm answer.

“Hmm… Your reaction is not cool, huh? Still, you should know, right? because… … .”

Grinning, a deep smile fell on Hamel’s face.

“The man’s name is ‘Miguel Revlus’.”

Miguel Levlus.

It was a name I clearly didn’t know, but I felt a sense of déjà vu.

I’m searching through my memories to find the cause of that feeling of déjà vu.

Whisper─

A sound was heard.

When I turned my head towards that place, the sight of someone with a familiar face, with a collapsed face in vain, caught my eye.

It was Bell.

And at that moment, I recognized the source of my déjà vu.

My head violently turned towards Hamel.

Hamel was smiling as he looked at Belle, who was sitting down.

“Yes. The father of Bella Rebelus there.”

Indeed, it seems pleasant.
