Chapter 1176 – #280_Reason to Come Back

#1170

One.
“Whoa…”

Siwoo let out a short breath and ended his meditation.
He was just sitting cross-legged in his place with his eyes closed, but sweat was beading from his forehead to under his chin.

“Good job.”
“Oh, thank you.”

Siwoo lightly wiped his forehead with the wet towel Eloa gave him and relaxed.

The heat in his head is no joke.

The reason why Siwoo became much stronger with each battle was because he pursued enlightenment from each battle as if he were ruminating.
Revisiting past battles through his meditation was part of that process.

He has had to compete with powerful opponents every time he has had to overcome his limits in the past great battles, and these efforts have always yielded worthy results.

He has always shown remarkable growth.

“How is it?”
“It’s not easy.”
“There’s no need to be in too much of a hurry. “If you are chased by impatience, the results will be far away.”

Even with the comfort of his teacher, who is more generous than anyone else, Si-woo cannot feel at ease.

What I was ruminating about a little while ago was the fight with Lydia.

Lydia Magnus entered the final stage of fighting and reached rank 24.
Siwoo caught Lydia through ‘Red Tree’.

It is a source of tremendous growth by reflecting on the realizations felt during the battle.

However, this battle was a little different from before.

First, when Siu fought with Lydia, he allowed half of the control to his subconscious through lotus and clover.

In the case of the lotus, it revived Dorothy and disappeared forever, and the clover can no longer be created.

To be more precise, as a result of replicating part of Periwinkle’s magnetic magic, we found a clue to solving the limit on the number of four-leaf clovers, but time is too short to use it in war right now.

As he won a victory that was difficult to attribute to him, it took time to digest his realization.

“I think I’m definitely in the 23rd rank…”

In fact, even at the 23rd rank, they are considered the strongest in the witch worldview.
It is a state where numerous miracles and miracles can be recreated with one’s own body.

“The problem is that the opponent is a 25th rank monster. Ah, is the matching luck starting again?”

Siwoo twisted his body like he was doing yoga and fluttered on the floor.
I’ve been under so much stress lately that if I don’t relieve it in some way, I’m going to go into mental illness.

“Master, isn’t this nonsense? I thought life was finally going smoothly. Does it make sense for a war to suddenly break out and Duke Erelim to be stabbed in the back? Also, what makes old witches so common? Are you saying that the three dangerous old witches from legends are all still alive? “What if it all comes down to Hexennacht?”
“Okay, okay, tell me everything. I will listen to everything. “I know you are going through a lot of trouble.”

Eloa smiled bitterly and gave Siwoo, who was rolling around on the floor like a shrimp just before her death, her knee pillow.
As a bonus, she gently stroked his hair with her soft hands.

Although he ended up fighting in frustration, Master also decided to join the war in a half-hearted manner.
Her worries are probably no worse than Si-woo’s.

Si-woo, who had become quiet, quietly felt her touch and asked.

“How strong is Duke Erelim?”
“Even before she went to higher levels, she was very strong.”
“How would you compare it to your teacher?”

She spoke carefully after much careful consideration.

“It’s only a superficial comparison… “If they had fought each other to the fullest in those days, I think Erelim would have won six out of ten times.”

Siwoo knows well the temperament of his cute pink rabbit teacher.
She never tells lies.

A warrior who has modified all magic for combat and has accumulated a lot of experience.
Even if the teacher fights in perfect condition, the monster whose winning rate is said to be only 40% has leveled up and appeared as the final boss.

Moreover, Erelim’s purpose is Sioux herself, her fox-like Amelia, and her rabbit-like Malika.

When situations like this come up, Siwoo always takes the route with the worst difficulty.
There was no optimism that it would somehow work out well.

It was obvious who would be targeted and how, but it was absurd to leave out of the war, and I didn’t even know if it was inevitable that I would eventually face Erelim.

“Don’t worry too much. I will definitely protect you. Why not close your eyes a little more than that? “I’m sad that I haven’t seen you sleeping these days.”
“Is that so?”
“I don’t mind sleeping like this for a while. “Is it a little more comfortable on the bed?”
“No. “Master’s knee pillow is paradise.”

She dreamed of giving up everything and running away with her lovers and living alone.

But if Hexennacht rules the world, and if Erelim lives, such a future will be nothing more than a delusion.

I don’t want to die and leave behind such lovely lovers.
There are many things I want to do, and many things I want to do for Malika.

What is more desperate is to protect precious people.

I haven’t told anyone yet, but I have already thought of a last resort.
I know I can’t come back, but I’m just in case the worst happens when I can’t back out any longer.

“…”

I will do my best.
We will mobilize all our given capabilities and use our wits to fight back.

However, as soon as we determine that it is impossible to change the situation, we plan to completely open our unconscious and aim for Erelim and Donggwijin.

If I can protect everyone with that, I’m willing.

2.
Now the time for inevitable war has arrived.

The declaration of war took precedence, but this time it does not mean an atmosphere of ambiguity.

As he often appears in history, Hexennacht sent a messenger to the location point to notify the time and place where the final war that would determine the fate of the world would take place.

The time is four days from now.
The location is in the middle of the Gobi Desert, which straddles the border between Mongolia and China.

Aside from the date, the meaning of the location selection was clear.

The middle of the Gobi Desert, chosen as the battlefield, is large enough to be a battlefield and has no obstructions.
What is more important is that there is no natural water source nearby, and without water, one cannot freely travel between the ‘gates’ of the two cities.

In other words, designating this place as a battlefield is a declaration to stop procrastinating and bring about an all-out war between the two cities at once.

In fact, in modern times, wars that are fought at a designated time and place have disappeared.
It is usually influenced by complex political, diplomatic, and strategic factors.

However, this proposal, which was so primitive that it seemed ridiculous, was also an offer that Gehenna could not refuse.

Creaks are still heard from various places in the academic alliance.

Judging by the news that the ‘Nightmare Witch’ was killed by Erelim from her goddaughters, it seems that she is suffering from a serious hardship in Hexennacht, but objectively, her morale is lower on the Gehenna side. Am.

At this time, what would happen if you turned your back on the war that was facing you and ran away?

Hexennacht’s morale will skyrocket when he sees Gehenna of the world refusing to fight before he even fights.
Conversely, no one can guarantee whether the Allied Forces, whose honor, which is sometimes more precious than life, has been trampled upon, will ever function again.

The Allied General Staff judged that this final war notice was most likely Erelim’s trick.

Since she knows the atmosphere of Gehenna and her physiology better than anyone else, she will know the timing to drive a wedge into Gehenna’s nobility’s pride better than anyone else.

Now that her power in Hexennacht exceeds that of Gehenna, there are no longer any variables and she has risked an inevitable fate.

Fight back now, or run away forever.

“Ugh…”

Sharon shook her shoulders at the sudden chill she felt.
Winter is still a long way away, and I’m tempted to take off the white cloth on the fireplace.

“It’s war… I really hate it…”

Sharon slumped down on her table and sighed.
No matter what she says, I know that this is an inevitable war.

Later on, humans conquer witches. Well, there are stories like this going around, but as a lot of history shows, it is a wrong attempt to divide the attributes of a being into good and evil.

There are bad bosses in the world who try to take away part-time wages by making various excuses, but there are also bosses who give pocket money in white envelopes for the holidays.

I want to prevent powerless people from dying and cruel and ruthless exploits from dominating the world.
Perhaps the witch powers inherited from the teacher are meant to be used in times like this.

If you just avoid and run away because you are afraid, you will definitely regret that choice.
After successfully winning this war and achieving world peace, we can draw a pink future together with Siwoo.

To do that, I couldn’t be lazy even for a moment.

“Good. Cheer up Sharon! “Aja, aja!”

Sharon took out her red ruby ​​and placed it back in her hand.

There is a saying that in this world, you cannot become rich just by saving your salary, but the annual salary of a full professor at Chesed Society is a huge amount that will put you in the ranks of the rich even if you only receive one year’s worth.

All the glittering jewelry on the table was purchased with the entire salary paid in advance to be used as an ‘offering.’

“I’m tired now, clap clap clap… I’m tired of waiting…”

The moment when Sharon delicately traced patterns with a carving knife on the surface of her ruby, humming her infamous work song to wash away her melancholy.

-Bang!

The twins opened the door and entered without knocking.

“Sister Sharon!”
“Aaaaahhh!!!”

Sharon, in a state of extreme concentration, screamed her single word.

He was so startled that the carving knife that had been carving an elaborate magic circle, like engraving the Heart Sutra on a grain of rice, had made a deep slash.

“My Ruby!!!! “My sacrifice!!!!”

If this happens, no matter what method is used, it cannot be used as a sacrifice.
You should just throw it away.

Although Sharon has achieved great success and has become a high-income professional uranium professor, Sharon, a poor rooftop girl, still remains in her heart.
The image of several 50,000 won bundles of money being disintegrated in the air was truly a scene that brought tears to my eyes.

“I told you to knock! “All you have to do is knock!”
“Wow, I’m surprised. Why are you yelling like that? “It surprises people.”
“My jewel… My precious jewel…”
“That’s not important right now!”
“It’s important! “It’s important!”

The twins from the chaebol family understand the situation and comfort Sharon, the girl in the rooftop room who is in panic and with tears in her eyes.

“Sorry. “I’ll buy you a new one.”
“…Really?”
“Yes, I’ll buy you two, so listen. “Because we have a very important plan.”
“Wow, you showed a disgrace. “Please compensate me properly.”

The twins talk passionately about why they came here in front of Sharon, who lost her senses for a moment.

“What? “Are you serious?”

Sharon gaped at the enormity of the plan.
