“Elder. I feel like I’m hunting monsters instead of beating people right now.”

Zion approaches with a creak-creak-creak sound.

The boiling anger was taking shape and radiating out. Crackle! Crackle! The electricity making the sound was extremely rough.

“Hey, messenger!”

“What is it?”

Rohan looked down at the fallen elder with a displeased expression.

All around them, elders are lying on the ground, groaning as they are beaten with swords.

More than half of them are unconscious. Even those who are conscious have glassy eyes.

“Please protect me quickly···! The killing intent that the vessel has for me is real!”

“Doesn’t this body know that even an ignorant worm like you feels it?”

“Then why···?”

Rohan didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving his chair.

For the first time, the elder’s face was filled with fear.

“Wouldn’t it be no fun if I did it?”

“···Yes?”

“You’ve only tasted the bitter taste, so now you should rinse your mouth with cider. Close your mouth and die.”

From Levin Maxwell’s perspective, it’s still a nonsensical statement.

widely!

Before I could even think about it, a pair of tough boots appeared right in front of me.

The elder raised his head from his prone position.

I saw Zion standing before my eyes, condensing electricity onto his palm.

Phage crackle!!!

A bloody noise that makes you feel like you’re going to get fried if you get hit.

For Levin Maxwell, who has lived a life without pain and connection, it is the very definition of fear.

The voice directed at Rohan was filled with a desperation that was no different from a scream.

“Messenger! Didn’t you swear an oath in the name of Hex and me!”

“Oh, that? That’s right. Don’t worry, I’ll take the punishment when it comes.”

If you are a true subordinate of Hex, you must protect him even at the risk of your life in the name of the one you serve.

Because we have a device that is no different from subordination, regardless of humanity or trust.

Thanks to that, even the elders wouldn’t have suspected anything.

Rohan turned his gaze to Zion.

I listened to the girl’s voice.

“Elder. I don’t understand you. My father must have felt the same way.”

“···!”

“But my father must have tried to understand.”

Zion’s electric attribute magic power.

The sphere containing it fell onto the elder’s body.

“Kkeuggeuggeuggeuk──!!!”

Maxwell trembled as he tasted the current seeping through him. His voice was too pitiful to be called a scream.

The robe he is wearing somehow keeps him alive, but it doesn’t completely stop him.

The robe that held so much splendor is losing its color. It is safe to say that it has run out of strength to withstand this attack.

Rohan, who had been sitting and watching, touched his sword while expressing his feelings.

“If I get hit now, I’ll really die.”

“That’s right! That’s the limit!”

A glimmer of hope crossed the elder’s wrinkled eyes.

The anticipation that the messenger of Hex will rise up and save us at any moment. That is the face.

Rohan turned his head away from there.

I had a chat with Clara, who was sitting quietly next to me.

“I don’t think you’ve been caught yet?”

“Oh, I guess it’s because oppa is so good at acting···!”

“I was anxious about when it would take place. Do I have talent in this area?”

The two’s laughter-filled conversation rang deep in the elder’s ears.

Rohan, who was talking to the girl who accompanied him, didn’t feel any pressure at all.

Maxwell took a belated hint at the word acting.

“You bastard···!”

The title that the elders used was demoted.

Rohan raised the corners of his lips as if he understood now.

“That’s how it is. You’ve been living by deceiving others, so don’t feel wronged and say you were deceived.”

Let’s throw away the seriousness that made you feel allergic and let Rohan answer as usual.

The elder froze in shock. Rohan’s smile deepened.

‘Of course it would be difficult to accept.’

Information about the real names that Zion doesn’t know and the people he encountered in Tigrova.

The hidden background of the Countercurrent Praise Society, the silver coin of Judah and how to use it, the story of Hex’s plan, etc.

Unless there is a way to contact the other party to confirm, it may have been information that was sure to be deceptive.

Even if there was a way to contact them, there is a high probability that they would not even try out of courtesy.

“These, these crazy guys! They call themselves the Countercurrent Praise Society without any fear···!”

“Inspiration. Don’t you know that if there are no witnesses, it’s over? If I draw my sword, is there an elf that will stop me?”

“!”

Among the elven elders, there are some who are skilled in battle.

If Rohan had tried to break through the entrance using force, it would have taken a lot of time due to the collaboration between the security magic and the elven elders in charge of force.

So when Rohan had the upper hand, he nitpicked.

Those skilled in combat, anticipating and preparing for this moment, would completely pulverize their limbs during the beating.

Since they have gone through a special process of being selected and beaten with clubs, even if their necks are cut off now, they won’t be able to resist.

Now let’s raise our heads as if to indicate that we are ignoring the elder’s words.

Zion was looking at himself. His lips were trembling and he was making a sound.

“Rohan. I···.”

“Do whatever Zion wants. If you can’t finish it, I don’t mind doing it.”

Zion helplessly flinched at Rohan’s kindness.

Because it is your job to punish the elders who are the leaders.

“···I’ll do it.”

Zion showed the sniper rifle he was carrying forward.

He loaded it with a thud!

Then he looked down at the elder and calmly aimed his gun.

“Elder. You said you were afraid of death.”

“Oh, Princess! This is irresponsible! If you listen to my story until the end, you will definitely change your mind···!”

Zion cut off the useless words mercilessly.

“I hope I won’t be born as an animal in my next life.”

Pull the trigger ──Boom! A heavy sound echoed through the conference room.

The bullet casings clanked and fell to the floor.

The elder who had been frantically playing with his mouth fell into eternal silence.

“Hoo···.”

Zion’s breathing became ragged and his hands began to tremble. He felt as if he might drop the gun he was holding at any moment.

Now I don’t care that I killed the traitor.

The real problem is the complex emotions and memories of the past that come with freedom.

“Clara. Will you stay out with Zion? I’ll just finish up here and go.”

“Yeah···!”

“Please take care of Zion.”

Clara nodded with a solemn expression at Rohan’s request and hurriedly moved.

And then we see Zion and Clara leave the room.

‘Should I finish it?’

Rohan got up from his seat and pulled the blade out of its scabbard.

Sreung!

It was time to clean up the trash rolling around on the floor.

··

··

Rohan comes out of the conference room after killing the elders.

Zion was seen hugging Clara and crying like a child.

“Ugh··· Ugh! Huuugh···!”

It was heartbreaking to see him try to hold back but fail and pour out his emotions.

Clara was buried in the chest of Zion, who was taller than her, and was trying to comfort him in some way.

Rohan returned the sword to its scabbard.

I walked over there.

“Zion.”

“···.”

All I can see is a face ruined by crying.

He didn’t seem to show any signs of difficulty, but instead kept a calm expression on his face, tried to figure out the situation, and tried to find a solution by finding the problem.

It was so fragile and fragile that it seemed like it would break at any moment.

Maybe this is the true form of the girl named Zion.

Rohan wipes away the tears of Zion, who is holding Clara like a doll.

I gently expressed what I wanted to say.

“The future is going to be bleak. Anyone who goes through something like this would be.”

“Rohan···.”

“Just know that every minute and every second from now on is completely Zion. Do what you want and focus on living happily. That’s how you save yourself first.”

For a moment, Zion’s crying stopped.

It looks like he is concentrating on listening.

“If you don’t know which way to go, you can nag me to find the way.”

“···.”

“It’s natural that it’s hard to find the right path on your own.”

“Ha, but···!”

Rohan gripped Zion’s lips with his fingers as if he was trying to say something out of habit.

Although it was a funny sight, Zion’s appearance was cute in Rohan’s eyes.

Rohan continued speaking with a light smile.

“A sniper needs an observer to aim his gun in the right direction, right?”

“···.”

“Because there were no observations so far. Even if it went in the wrong direction, it’s not Zion’s fault. Got it?”

Zion froze after hearing Rohan’s words.

“Okay?”

“···.”

Let’s force the answer again with a smile.

Zion was a small memory.

“When you want to clear your head and relax your mind. If you need someone to take responsibility or blame, I’ll be that observer.”

Zion wanted to ask Rohan why he was doing this to him if only he would let go of the lips he was holding.

Rohan didn’t let go as if he even knew that fact.

“Zion. Live happily ever after. Don’t be complicated, that’s enough.”

“Ah···.”

Rohan let go of the lips he had been holding after saying those words.

Zion continued to feel it.

That there was not a single sinister motive in what Rohan had said so far.

He, who is neither his parents nor his family, hopes for his own happiness with unconditional love.

‘Rohan···.’

The more I think about Rohan’s actions so far.

Zion felt a soft emotion filling his empty chest, which was left with only space.

The pain that had been tearing my insides apart until just now melts away into something warm and disappears.

‘You, you alone have never deceived me from the beginning···.’

As I lock eyes with Rohan, I feel an inexplicable tingling and embarrassment.

“And save your magic power. Why have you been using skills since a while ago?”

Rohan snickered and looked at Zion’s eyes as they turned into hearts, showing his curiosity.

at the same time.

Clara, who had been quietly holding him to comfort him, sensed something strange.

Zion’s heart began to beat violently, thump! thump! unlike before.
