episode_0089

Let’s take an example.

You are fighting a car traveling at 80 km/h.

It moves at full speed and hits you in two seconds.

You have to break it with a sword, and the outer shell doesn’t work well with a sword.

Even if you break it, it regenerates back to its original state in less than a minute.

That was the situation that Cheolsu was feeling.

-Quaang!

Cheolsu gets thrown against the outer wall of the building.

Shards of glass and cement dust flew everywhere.

Cheolsu looked ahead as he cleared away the collapsed rubble.

“Haha! Didn’t you say you were going to cut me?”

Jekyll, or rather the monster who was Jekyll, laughed at himself.

Nearby, two small monsters that appear to be subordinates are floating.

They also had regenerative abilities, although not enough to protect them.

‘It seems like that guy’s personality is gradually changing.’

Was it the effect of becoming a monster?

Or, like Younghee, did she forcefully destroy her personality?

I’m going to kill him anyway, so I don’t know the details.

The fact that it’s a vaguely intelligent monster is definitely annoying.

“After all, you are a human being just like me.”

As if it hinders such thinking.

Jekyll grinned and opened his mouth.

“What kind of bullshit is this all of a sudden?”

“Look at this scene. This is the scenery you created.”

The city was currently a mess.

Monsters destroy buildings and throw cars.

People were busy evacuating in a hurry.

The heroes are busy fighting monsters.

Abi Gyu-hwan. Hell too. battleground.

The aftermath of the fight between the two even involved ordinary citizens.

“What were you satisfied with? By dragging an innocent person into his revenge?”

“It’s common for villains to take ordinary citizens hostage.”

“But you didn’t go to save him.”

Jekyll once again looked at the scene in front of him and laughed.

As if bragging about the hell he created.

As if laughing at the hero who looked away from it.

“You could have been saved. They could have let me run away and put the lives of citizens first. But you prioritized revenge.”

“… … .”

“If the dangerous person was Younghee, would she have stayed quiet? Would he have continued to chase me? I would never have done that! After all, you are human too!”

Jekyll swings his fist again, and Cheolsu raises his sword to block.

Meanwhile, the attack from the subordinate monsters hit his shoulder.

Clenching his teeth, Cheolsu tried to ignore it and swung his sword forward.

“Put yourself first, and don’t care about others! Ugly human nature! You are a human being who shows it as it is! It’s not like a hero!”

Jekyll’s fist hit Cheolsu.

This time, Cheolsu flew straight into the parked car.

“Humans are ultimately just that much! Humans evolve more when they face their ugly hearts. You did that too. You’ve become so strong. Isn’t that why you’re so obsessed with revenge, making all kinds of excuses?

“… … .”

“Holding hands with enemies, killing unrelated people, and pretending not to know the danger of good people! Just for my own revenge!”

Jekyll stretched out his arms like an actor finishing a play.

The ugly monster’s arms are still writhing.

“Accept it, you and I are the same. They are equally disgusting people.”

Jekyll’s words were nothing more than sophistry.

No matter how great a hero is, it is impossible to save everyone.

Even Kim Tae-jin declared that it was impossible.

Criticizing Cheolsu for that is nothing but unreasonable.

This is especially not something the person who put the citizen in danger would say.

Of course, it is true that Cheolsu prioritized personal revenge.

Even if everyone denied it, none other than Cheolsu thought so.

“So what should I do?”

“Hmm?”

“I never said I was a hero. Why are you talking nonsense just now?”

Cheolsu did not come here as a hero.

Really pure.

I came running to kill Jekyll.

I fought for personal revenge.

And I don’t think that’s wrong.

“Okay, let’s say I give up revenge for the citizens. But it’s obvious that if I let you go here, you’ll do the same thing. In that case, wouldn’t it be more helpful to catch it?”

“Ha! So you’re willing to give up the lives of ordinary citizens and choose the future? Can you say that even when you see a dying person?”

“No one died.”

“… … .”

At those words, Jekyll looked around.

I certainly never saw anyone dead or collapsed.

Even though these monsters were fighting, no one died.

The thought of what on earth came to me and then quickly disappeared.

“Other heroes…? … .”

“The fact that there is no support despite fighting so brilliantly means that other people are working hard in rescue efforts. Well, it doesn’t matter if you praise those people as real heroes.”

Jekyll may not have noticed, but Cheolsu vaguely realized it.

A familiar feeling from before.

It’s probably him.

‘I don’t know why that damn heir of the dark heavens saves people.’

Anyway, no one died.

In that case, you can fight with peace of mind and nothing will happen.

“I am not a hero, and you are not a great philosopher, but just a disgusting monster.”

Cheolsu raised his sword.

“The only ones that die today are monsters, so don’t worry.”

“……As expected, you are cocky.”

Jekyll jumped forward in an instant.

Cheolsu swings his sword and blocks his fist.

However, in that gap, the monster minions approached from the side and swung their claws.

‘shit!’

If it’s one thing to protect, anything will happen.

Even if you get pushed back a little, you can somehow create a gap.

But these monsters are also annoying.

Cheolsu turned his body to avoid the monster’s attack.

The gap created by that wind.

Jekyll’s next kick exploded in the side.

“Wow!”

Blood poured out of Cheolsu’s mouth as he rolled on the floor.

I’m trying to somehow compensate for the wound by raising my magic power.

The damage accumulated so far is enormous.

Every muscle in my body trembles and my bones scream.

‘The wounds on my arm muscles and legs are fatal. It looks like the bone is gone somewhere.’

Even if you miraculously win the fight, your body will not be in good shape.

No, I don’t think I can win before that with this body.

We fought like that, but he’s still alive and well.

There is no use in cutting vaguely.

However, this does not mean that there is enough room to use large technologies.

Of course, there are limits to the regenerative ability.

At this rate, Cheolsu would die sooner.

‘I know.’

Nevertheless, Cheolsu raised his sword.

I knew from the beginning that it would be a tough fight.

If you have the strength to hold a sword, if you can still move your arms, fight.

That’s it.

‘If I cut his throat with a sword… that guy will eventually die too.’

The hand holding the sword is shaking.

The bridge, pushed to its limit, creaks.

Honestly, just moving is a miracle.

However, it cannot fall down like this.

“I can’t let you go, the guy who broke Younghee’s heart, like this.”

“Haha! Upset! Aren’t you too obsessed with the girlfriend you already lost?”

“It’s not obsession, it’s pure love.”

“Ah, yes! You were just a brat! Not a hero or a swordsman or anything! Just a childish brat drunk with himself!”

-Sky Sword

Cheolsu’s sword moved again.

Forcibly twisting my body until it breaks.

He just keeps swinging his sword.

****

“That thing is killing me.”

Looking at the scene from a little distance away.

Lime muttered indifferently.

There was neither sadness nor joy in his tone.

In life, all living things die and are killed.

It’s no different for humans.

The fight in front of us will be just one of the results.

Of course, that fight doesn’t mean anything to everyone.

“So, what do you want to do?”

Younghee was quietly looking at the scene in front of her.

I’ve felt this strange thing for a long time.

A fear of unknown origin that one feels when seeing Cheolsu.

I didn’t know where this was coming from.

But now I feel like I know it.

‘I wanted to save that person.’

I don’t want that person to get hurt.

I’m scared of that person getting hurt.

But no matter how hard you try, it doesn’t work.

Rather, he becomes the trigger and even causes harm.

So Younghee ran away.

If he loses his memory and doesn’t recognize him, he’ll give up.

Because you won’t fight for me anymore.

I thought that if I wasn’t by his side, I wouldn’t have to fight anymore.

‘And yet, you keep fighting… … .’

Cheolsu fought really desperately.

Even if you receive a terrible attack and your body rolls on the floor.

Don’t give up, it keeps happening.

Those eyes just looked at the other person without showing any signs of fear.

No matter what he did, he never let go of the sword in his hand.

A person could become that strong.

‘I was a fool.’

No matter how much he runs away, Cheolsu will never stop fighting.

Cheolsu will continue his efforts no matter what happens.

I don’t blame myself for running away first.

Like that, I’ll be walking forward in a place I don’t know.

“Mr. Lime… … .”

“Huh?”

“I was afraid of fighting.”

Younghee cautiously opened her mouth.

The reason Lime said there is only one choice.

I felt like I realized that.

“That’s probably why he avoided it and ran away.”

Hidden memories, hidden emotions.

They come back and gradually begin to fill my heart.

“But I don’t want to run away and let my precious people get hurt.”

“… … .”

“I want to save Cheolsu.”

Younghee said that, smiling so brightly.

Even if you get hurt, even if you get hurt, even if you lose your memories.

There is someone I want to be with.

No matter what happens, you have a lover who will walk by your side.

As if he had finally realized that.

“Can you help me?”

“……This is why I hate you humans. Very shameless.”

“You still like it, right?”

“Bullshit.”

Even as he said that, Lime stretched out his tentacles.

Soon the tentacle touched Younghee’s hand.

A powerful magical energy begins to flow through her body.

“What?!”

“If it’s my strength, I’ll lend it to you. But let me tell you, anyone can eat it if they want to. If you want to prove your resolve, show the results.”

“I know.”

Younghee held both hands as if praying.

Soon, a bright light rose from her center.

-Younghee’s original

An explosive burst of light fills the city.

It had a soft glow and didn’t hurt anything else.

It only neutralizes rampaging monsters.

The skin of Lime, who was right next to me, tingled.

‘I never thought a kid like this would use a blessing that even applies to me, the highest level monster.’

The light of blessing that started from Younghee.

With that bright light, the monsters’ bodies began to burn.

****

‘what?’

Cheolsu looked at the situation with puzzled eyes.

The little monsters suddenly burned away and disappeared.

Moreover, this feeling of magic is felt.

It’s definitely Younghee.

‘How on earth? ‘Younghee must have lost her memory?’

I didn’t really understand the situation.

But with this, the annoying subordinate monsters disappeared.

Anyway, it’s definitely an opportunity… … .

-Quaang!

Suddenly, Cheolsu’s body fell to the floor.

The monster’s heavy hand crushes my head to the floor.

“You can’t let your guard down, Cheolsu.”

“……Why don’t you just burn up and disappear?”

“It would be difficult to compare myself to such an ordinary monster.”

It was definitely as he said.

Jekyll doesn’t seem to have suffered much damage, but

Speed and power did not decrease at all.

That light probably won’t do much damage to a body this size.

“It seems like the situation has changed quite rapidly, but the results haven’t changed. You die here.”

Puzzle.

Grinding his teeth, Cheolsu strengthened the hand holding the sword.

However, no matter how much you withdraw, you cannot swing a sword in a lying posture.

There was barely a way out… but did it end like this?

‘Don’t talk nonsense.’

No, it’s not over yet.

The body still moves.

“Oooo!”

Cheolsu stood up with all his might.

Jekyll’s hand is getting weaker.

My trembling body was moving slightly but surely.

‘No way! What strength do you still have with a body like this?!’

The difference in posture as well as physical condition is clear.

Moreover, he must have suffered serious injuries here and there on his body that wouldn’t be surprising even if he was already dead.

Ordinary humans and monsters.

There must be an overwhelming difference between the two.

‘I can’t take any more time. Even if it’s too much, I’ll kill you here.’

Jekyll’s other arm turned into a hook.

This guy is dangerous too.

An overwhelming talent that grows even while fighting.

Let’s end it right here!

I decided that and put my arm down.

-Heavenly Fist

At that moment, Jekyll’s body was blown away by a kick from the side.

The body hits the wall with a loud noise.

‘The technology just… … .’

Cheolsu, who regained his freedom, looked up.

Soon his face becomes grimly distorted.

“Did I come too late?”

“No, it came so damn fast.”

Yujin Kim.

Because the man he wanted to defeat more than anyone else was standing looking down at him.
