Chapter 94.2

Chapter 94 – Rule 30: The Disciplinary Committee Leader Doesn’t Lose (3) (Continued)

Clang!

Hong Kyu pulled out a massive axe and swung it, deflecting the incoming sword with ease. It was a light response, almost laughably effortless.

Whoosh!

As if expecting this, Dalbi leaped forward without any sign of panic.

In her eyes, she saw Woo-jin’s bloodied and battered form, bound and on the verge of becoming prey to the monstrous creature behind him, the God of Gluttony.

Dalbi couldn’t stand it. She bit her lower lip hard inside the goblin mask, drawing blood.

At this moment, more than anything.

She wanted to protect Woo-jin, no matter the cost.

Fwoosh!!!

Red and blue flames, infused with immense magical power, wrapped around Dalbi’s body like ribbons.

Two red flames burst from her forehead, casting a mystical glow, and flames rose from her hands, forming into the shape of clubs.

Her eyes glowed with a split flame—one blue, the other red—the colors of her goblin magic.

Her hair and skin took on a bright sheen as if her saturation had been turned up. A trail of fiery brilliance followed her every movement, illuminating the night’s darkness.

Unique ability: Goblin Sovereign.

Magic Technique Form No. 3, ‘Goblin Transformation.’

Dalbi had unleashed her true power.

“……!”

Hong Kyu felt a shiver run down his spine. A wild grin spread across his face.

He shouted in delight.

“Yes! Haha!! You’re finally showing your true strength, Kim Dalbi!!”

Dalbi swung her flaming club at the Army of Gluttony.

Boom!!

Fwoosh!!

With a single strike, the soldiers of gluttony shattered, and the contrasting flames erupted explosively, consuming everything around them.

The magical energy that composed the flames was extraordinarily dense.

Dalbi’s goblin transformation, combined with her natural talent, resulted in an unbelievable level of destruction.

However, the price was steep.

“Ah…!”

Dalbi gasped.

A sharp crack echoed in her mind, like glass shattering.

But Dalbi couldn’t stop.

As she swung her club again, the soldiers of gluttony were destroyed.

And once more, something in her mind broke, fragmenting into an indistinguishable shape.

The broken pieces scattered metaphysically in her mind.

Dalbi gritted her teeth.

She couldn’t afford to stop, no matter the cost.

The true power of the Goblin Sovereign’s unique ability began with goblin transformation.

Through it, Dalbi wielded a power comparable to the 7th Tier.

But there was a price.

The price was ‘precious memories.’

This was the penalty of the Goblin Sovereign’s unique ability.

Every swing of Dalbi’s club took away her memories.

Dalbi howled like a beast, unleashing a guttural scream as if to release everything in her heart.

Boom!!

A deafening explosion rang out.

The memories of the flowers and letters Woo-jin had given her shattered.

Boom!!

The memories of cooking at Woo-jin’s house crumbled.

Boom!!

The memories of gifting Woo-jin a robot, something a child his age would love, and seeing his joy, vanished.

Boom!!

The memories of Woo-jin frequently telling her he liked her shattered.

Boom!!

The memories of hugging Woo-jin often were destroyed.

Boom!!

The memories of looking at the cityscape with Woo-jin and talking about the future were lost.

Boom…!

The memory of giving Woo-jin a peony was gone.

Boom….

With each resounding explosion, her ears were drowned in noise.

As she gazed at the endless soldiers of gluttony being generated by the structures of the Heavenly Banquet Offering, she began to question why she was swinging her club.

Then, the faint memory of meeting Woo-jin in a snowy field surfaced.

Clinging to that faint memory like a lifeline, she remembered her purpose.

The soldiers of gluttony continued to be destroyed. The dual-colored flames wrapped around her club burned and smashed the soldiers.

Hong Kyu’s expression showed a hint of surprise at the unexpected level of destruction.

Her magical energy was depleting rapidly.

But Dalbi didn’t stop and ran straight toward Woo-jin.

By the time the explosions had become inaudible—

Crash.

The last of Dalbi’s memories quietly shattered in her mind.

‘What was I doing? Why was I fighting…?’

She couldn’t remember why she was fighting.

She still had the memory of being forcibly taken by the Head Principal, leaving someone behind. She remembered longing for that person, feeling sorrow at having to leave his side.

Who was it?

She couldn’t remember.

However, the lingering embers of her emotions told Dalbi one thing.

“Huff, huff….”

When she regained her senses, Dalbi had already reached Woo-jin.

The faint sounds of battle reached her ears, drowned out by the ringing and her own heavy breathing.

Using the last of her strength, Dalbi swung her goblin club and shattered the magical chains binding Woo-jin.

Crash!!

Woo-jin, still seated and looking at her with wide, stunned eyes, stared back at Dalbi.

This man.

All her memories were gone, but her heart still whispered the truth.

You wielded the power of the goblin to save this man.

Behind her, Hong Kyu, wearing a shocked expression, was running toward them. The remaining soldiers of gluttony followed suit.

Why… did you come to save me?

That’s what Woo-jin’s lips seemed to say as they moved.

Her hearing still functional, she caught the tremor in his voice.

Why was it?

The remnants of memories and emotions moved Dalbi’s heart.

Covered in dust and wounds, Dalbi’s face broke into a helpless smile.

Drawing up the sincerity she had harbored deep inside, she softly spoke the words she thought she would never be able to say.

“Because… I like you….”

With that final utterance, the last of her lingering memories faded away.

Thud.

Dalbi, her strength completely spent, lost consciousness and collapsed into Woo-jin’s arms.

“…….”

Woo-jin held Dalbi close.

His face twisted with anguish.

His magic was depleted, but his basic strength had returned since the chains of the God of Gluttony had been broken.

“You bastards!!”

Hong Kyu shouted as he hurled his axe.

At that moment—

Crack!

A rift tore through the air.

The Blessing of the Golden Sheep.

Regardless of whether his magic was depleted, the rift in space formed, diverting the danger elsewhere.

The axe passed through the rift and vanished.

“What the hell!? How do you still have energy left!?”

Hong Kyu looked stunned.

Whoosh!

A black baton flew out from Woo-jin’s belt.

The Lightning Rod.

Stored with Woo-jin’s pure magic, now at the 6th Tier, its destructive power had increased further. This deadly weapon was now in Woo-jin’s grasp.

Woo-jin took a deep breath, drawing every ounce of strength from his body, and swung the Lightning Rod at Hong Kyu and the Army of Gluttony.

Boom!!!

A massive explosion of teal lightning magic engulfed the surroundings. Its scale was enormous.

Hong Kyu, shocked, halted and gathered his magic defensively. It was blinding, like a flashbang. He shielded his eyes with his arms.

When the explosion subsided, Hong Kyu lowered his arms.

“…Hah.”

Hong Kyu let out a bitter laugh.

Woo-jin and Dalbi had already left the scene.
