Chapter 197 – 196. Eokkka Is Better When You Wake Up (3)
As I continue to taste blood, I can no longer even taste it on my tongue. I can’t feel the scent of blood, nor the poison of the terrifying demon beast, Hydra, mixed with it.
The more I do this, the more I feel that my body is falling apart.
Arash, and Anna.
These two are attached to me, and the bombardment from the huge mechanical weapons continues.
This is true.
It is so hard that it is difficult to break, and has anti-magic power that makes it impermeable to magic.
The question of how is this possible without magic?
Perhaps examining this metal will provide the answer.
There were traces of being processed in a completely different way, and explosives that exploded in response to impact were continuously loaded and supplied inside.
During my expedition to the Demon World, I knocked down a giant who was attacking me with a hammer.
To be exact, a giant about 2.5 times smaller than this.
I finished off the one-eyed Cyclops by climbing on its head and hitting its philtrums with a hammer, then coming down and blowing off its chin.
Actually, it would be rude to compare it to that.
And as my intestines continued to dissolve, the reaction rate continued to slow down.
-…Not yet, wait.
Ha, really. I really feel like I’m falling behind.
If I do it a little faster, it will only last longer.
I feel like I’m going to die.
Nevertheless, I am alive.
I am dying so that I can barely keep up.
The poison of the ancient demon beast, Hydra, is spreading, and naturally, the damage to my body continues to accumulate in this pain. Naturally, the pain is getting stronger, and in this pain, I grit my teeth and spit blood out of my mouth onto the floor.
The hydra’s poison is also present in my blood spitting out on the floor.
And Arash, who was supporting me, and Anna, whose clothes were torn here and there, were fighting against the soldiers and knights charging at me.
I just told Anna not to kill them.
Okay.
I know it’s a really bad thing.
But it has to be this way.
It had to be like this, and of course it had to be endured, and it had to be endured again and again.
-…It takes a long time.
Know.
-Don’t die… If you’re alive, definitely.
-Because you can counterattack.
I agree with that.
If you’re alive, you can fight back. Naturally, I persevered and survived, fighting off attacks here and there for two years.
I’ve never had anything worse than this. At that time, I was barely able to hide by crawling on the floor until I recovered.
They were persistent, and as soon as I stopped for even a moment, they found my hiding place and continued to chase me, threatening my life.
-Ha, wow, you’re so tough.
“There’s one thing that’s tough… I’m more confident than anyone else.”
-Yeah, but it looks like it’s all over, but you keep attacking even though you know that none of your attacks are of any use? What do you think you can do with those damn threads? Are you going to destroy this thing by splitting the plane? Dream. Because it can survive even inside a black hole.
Wow, did you understand that well?
Could it be that they installed something to detect that?
For a week, I studied constantly, looking at the various materials that Mr. Machina had left for me. Naturally, it was a difficult process for me to get a glimpse of all the technical skills, and even considering that there were things she didn’t show me, I can say that this woman’s technical skills are truly incredible.
“Wow, that’s amazing. Teacher, are you really prepared to kill me?”
-Of course, I never underestimated you from beginning to end. So, I will use every means at my disposal to kill you without fail. And today, this will be the venue for your funeral at the age of 25. That is, if there is anyone left to hold the funeral.
“Isn’t it the same for you that you don’t have anyone to perform the ancestral rites for you? My adoptive father said that there was a custom of holding ancestral rites there… At least, if you are behind, the same applies to you.”
-…If nothing else, you should definitely rip that snout off. No, there is no need to tear it up. Soon your tongue will dissolve in the poison.
He laughs out loud while looking at my blue face.
Well, I guess so.
“…Clarke, what are you going to do?”
“If you’re going to fly, now is the last time.”
And Arash asks me. Naturally, that woman is not interested in anything but me.
In my opinion, it is a checkmate situation, and Arash showed a miracle by deflecting all the missiles and bullets fired with arrows, but that does not mean that there is a way to defeat that giant.
The anti-magic power of that metal is too strong to be destroyed with magic, and it is impossible to crush it with Carol’s mass.
“Cough-“
“Master!!”
“…Anna, stay back. It’s over now.”
In many ways.
“…You guys, what are you doing now!!!”
Hector’s voice is heard.
Oh, you evacuated your whole family?
Come to think of it, this is where Scherwitz and the soldiers commanded by Hector stay. And Hector was also wearing a mask, and the gas mask prevented him from inhaling the poison dust, and the soldiers and knights, who all looked dying, spoke as they vomited blood.
“The golden sun… The golden sun has removed the poison.”
If I was fucked, I would be hungry too.
Of course, Hector knew that wasn’t what he was saying.
That’s because I was the first to provide the mask to save Hector and his family.
And the poisonous powder carried on the flying objects.
And the one who sprayed it was none other than Makina Sensei, one of the accomplices.
Okay.
But why did this become something I did?
It was a trick of the Olympian gods, telling them that if they wanted to live, they should take away the antidote that the Golden Sun possessed.
There were so many devout believers that it made me cry. Fuck.
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Geum Taeyang was with me. Geum Taeyang was poisoned. Who would spread such nonsense?”
“…Kkkk, let’s do something like that. It’s ridiculous that I helped those bastards who mercilessly tried to take other people’s lives because their own lives were in danger.”
“You-“
“Ah, that’s enough. It’s all over now. So… It’s all [Finished].”
In many ways.
To be honest, it was one of the most unlikely assumptions, but I had expected that they would steal the poison of [Hydra], The ancient demon beast that Philoctetes had received and that had driven Alkeides to death.
But I was moved by the damn humanity of the Olympian gods who sprayed this on the troops and civilians here and told me to take the antidote to them.
I’m not lying, I really mean it.
This kind of personality is possible.
I knew that this kind of gaslighting was possible, and I felt that God is God.
Yes, they are real assholes.
If you ask what’s left by doing something like this, they’re the ones who ask you damn why they’re still there.
From beginning to end.
To them, Freesia was just an outcast.
It’s all a trap designed to kill me.
But after falling for that trap, I feel like shit in many ways.
Shattered buildings around.
…
I used a lot of magic to rebuild these shattered things, but even though people around me were shaking, I decided to somehow get the antidote, by attaching a crudely made knife to a wooden stick to make a spear, and spitting out blood.
“Antidote, antidote…Give me…The children- the children are in danger-“
Oh, I guess so.
If it’s a poison that adults can barely tolerate, how terrible will children be?
The people who thanked me for rebuilding my ruined house are now all so consumed with poison that they can’t stab me with a knife and kill me. This is absolutely fucking shitty.
This is why I said that human babies are not harvested.
“This is why you don’t harvest human babies carelessly.”
If he really feels like he’s in danger, he’ll rush in and stab himself like this.
“What are you talking about? Are you-“
Hector says. Did he sense something dangerous when he saw me talking without hiding my obvious disgust for these things, unlike before?
If it’s dangerous, it’s probably right to be dangerous.
In fact, even if I unleash my fire on these ungrateful scumbags, it is in self-defense.
They are blatantly trying to kill me or drown me at the village level, and there are many witnesses.
Even if you kill them, they are just paying for their sins.
In any case, I don’t care if they die or not.
Okay.
It really doesn’t matter.
Not only did they not give me any help, but they were only helping me and keeping me alive because of Liz when I was being exploited by Carlos from the beginning.
I literally kept my distance so that I could brush them off at any time if they messed up, and I didn’t provide them with anything beyond the contract, but only as much as the contract.
I signed a contract by looking for each house that I wanted help with and the house that needed repairs, and the clause in the contract included the words in the very first paragraph.
-No mutual hostility-
Okay.
Why did I put this in place?
Why did you tell them to keep everything engraved in their arms?
That will be shown from now on.
And Hector looks at me, as if he sensed something creepy about what I said.
Naturally, I think about this, the inevitable human psychology, and as if they were being gaslighted and driven by it, they rush in to kill a person in a crowd mentality, and they attack again and again to kill someone, without even knowing that they are being thrown into a hole where they will die.
Anna continues to follow my orders and only pushes them away, but doesn’t kill them. I know it’s impossible for her to do this.
Ruler.
Now is the time to criticize them harshly.
“Your child, are you sure that if your child had been poisoned, you wouldn’t have done this too, Hector? Cough… Tsk, fuck. I’m vomiting from being poisoned too, do you really think I have an antidote? Everyone?”
I’m really curious about this.
Some crazy person is spreading poison while becoming addicted himself… No, really, that’s exactly what he was spraying.
I guess it’s because I’m half sick of it because of the poison.
Well, I didn’t say that, so it’s probably good.
There is no antidote for me.
That’s the truth.
However, to them it is a lie.
The one who sprayed the poison is Geumtaeyang?
That may or may not be the case. But for them it is the truth.
Because they have lost the mental capacity to make correct decisions, the thought of dying in pain while suffering from poison has robbed them of their reason, and they are jumping around here and there like a cow with its tail on fire.
Not knowing that this would be like rats jumping into the sea as a group.
Why may it be so or may not be so?
Well?
And it is definitely [The truth] That there is no antidote for me.
Unfortunately.
“Don’t say bullshit, give it to me – don’t lie – Lord Mercurius said you have it – you guys –!!”
Eyes go to Anna too.
When did that spark even reach Anna?
They say that the more you go here and there, the more you gain weight and become distorted, and that’s exactly what it looks like now.
Mercurius has the antidote for me! They were spreading this, but the poison was actually spread by priests belonging to the Jupiter and Olympia families. Thanks to the suction from up close, their blood has turned to porridge and there is no more evidence left, so it is not even possible to confirm whether it is true or not.
I looked at the crowds flocking toward me and said,
“.. Hehe, you assholes. You guys were deceived. I didn’t have an antidote from the beginning? Cough – fuck, if I had one, I used it first, you assholes. Are you going to give it to me first because I’m crazy?”
If there was a way to avoid pain in the first place, I wrote it first.
No joke, really.
Helping others is only possible when you have some spare time. Otherwise, it is an act that only destroys your own life.
Living things are extremely selfish, and sacrificing for what they value is an effort to evolve in a way that everyone wants to live together.
If the situation were the same, my sister would try to take this poison from me instead.
And that without any hesitation.
But there is no point in doing so.
It doesn’t mean anything.
With my own two eyes, I saw a huge hand holding my sister’s neck, and the eyes between the hands were looking down at me.
For me, who is seeing things in a higher dimension with only my own eyes, which are invisible to other people, this situation is only one thing.
I know that this is a scene that Daemon Sultan is creating and seeing.
The feeling of being an actor on stage is not a very good feeling.
If I were to be honest, I’m closer to a playwright than an actor.
How come they put me on this stage and are voyeurizing?
And to make sure he could never reach that damned grip again, I sharpened my knife a lot.
My adoptive father, and now my older sister.
If it were the same to others, it would be the same, but it is not something to be left alone.
If there was one, I wrote it.
And I don’t know how I accepted that.
“You, you are a hero!! If you are a hero, you have to give to others.”
“Giving? What do you mean by giving? If you guys were there too, you guys would be the first to inject it into your own body. Cough…What the hell do you guys want to do with all the bastards who are running after everyone in the first place? An explosion is about to explode here, and you get involved here. It looks like they’re trying to come in and hit me on the back of the head and search my insides… Hey, you assholes. I’ve become weaker, but you haven’t become stronger, have you?”
That’s what I said at the very beginning.
These are the words I said while being chased by star beings wearing the guise of the Heretic Inquisitor and the Church of Solias who were trying to kill me.
Could it be that they think that the reason I’m not killing them is because I’m a hero?
“Cough-“
Eventually he vomits blood.
My legs feel weak.
“Clarke!!”
“…Master!?”
And I use my last energy to use magic and fly Arash and Anna far away.
To a place far away from here. And as soon as I collapsed-
Soldiers, knights and poisoned civilians approach.
“…And you said he was a hero, so what does it make sense to try to harass that hero for his life?”
Of course, shit is interchangeable.
In the first place, I didn’t protect them because I wanted to.
“…You all have to be grateful to Liz for the rest of your life. If it weren’t for that, wouldn’t you have ever felt this happiness even for a moment? Cough… Cough…!”
Have my internal organs already melted?
Only blood continues to be spit out.
No, I don’t have to vomit anymore.
“…Kill!!! Kill, kill, let’s find the medicine!!”
“Damn it!! What are you doing!! Everyone stop!!”
Hector’s shout echoes.
I guess this is a bit like that when everyone is dying.
That’s because when you die, all of your body’s senses are gone, and your hearing, sight, smell, touch, and nerves all die.
Additionally, it is a hydra poison that combines blood poison and nerve poison.
It’s such a vicious poison, too.
I was truly amazed that a poison this dirty existed, and I was able to understand why Liz’s family was being monitored in Frisia.
It is a strategic weapon itself.
The moment this is leaked, I showed everything today to see what it looks like.
Fuuuk-!!
The blade digs into my body.
Blood splatters.
The feeling of my entire body being torn apart passes through my entire body.
I thought I wouldn’t feel any pain because my body was exhausted.
There was nothing like that.
And finally.
-Interpretation completed… From now on, I will apply the interpretation of this poison to you.
… Boys, where do you do it early?
Okay.
So, now these tactical weapons are-
I guess it’s only me who has it.
If you’re screwed for stealing, if you’re making it impossible to steal, what if it turns into something even more vicious?
Fuuuk-!!
There were countless blades stabbing at my body. I think I was stabbed by more than 100.
And their bodies, spears, knives, blades, and their murderous intent to kill me.
Now my clothes are torn and my top is torn to the point of becoming a rag.
I sucked all the poison out of them.
“Uh?”
The moment when the pain disappeared from their bodies.
I absorbed all the poison, and at the same time, I absorbed the poison in their bodies and finally interpreted the disgusting hydra’s venom that was trying to dissolve me and hinder my body’s regeneration, and made it mine.
Okay.
If I tamper with the blood with magical power, from now on my blood will be [Hydra’s poison] Itself, no, it will become an even greater poison.
“Checkmate.”
Maier, she picks up her chess and is about to kick the black king with the white knight.
Was he trying to hit me with a jerk?
However-
“…”
This is something strange.
Why?
Also, why did they suddenly look better?
Mayer, who was trying to restore Juggernaut and find Kim Hae-jin, felt something was strange.
And finally-
Kwaaaaa!!!
A shock wave explodes and blows away all the humans, soldiers, civilians, and knights who stabbed them.
A storm of magical power pours out, and the Juggernaut’s massive body shakes in the storm.
“What!?”
And Mayer expressed surprise for the first time.
That’s right.
This monster weighs over 1 million tons. It is an aircraft with reactive armor built into the entire body and a factory that regenerates the reactive armor inside. Naturally, it has external armor to protect the weapons, and an internal dimensional armor that makes it easy to store weapons.
However,
With that single magical explosion, all of the Juggernaut’s internal reactive armor factories and external armor repair capabilities were downed and destroyed.
“…What is this.”
-…Ha, fuck. I really almost fell behind.
Black skin, torn rag-like top. The blood stains there, all the wounds healed, and all the people blown away.
Instead of killing him, he blew it away.
Okay.
I didn’t kill him.
Mayer, who was drinking tea while laughing at the villagers who had just torn him to death and was trying to tear Geumtaeyang to pieces to find the antidote in his clothes, saw Geumtaeyang looking at the Juggernaut’s camera in front of him.
No.
I saw Clark.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■-!?
!!!!!
■■■■■■■■■!!!
An unknown scream is heard.
And at the same time-
Shubniguras.
Ilias and even Elizabeth all run out.
What on earth happened?
-…I have to go to round 2. Teacher. From now on, I will hand disassemble your work exactly as I interpreted it.
A chill runs down my spine.
And Mayer, who had just checked the state of the Juggernaut, whose defense system had been downed by a shock wave of magic alone, smiled and pressed the second switch on the control stick.
These are spare weapons and spare mobility parts made in case the golden sun is stronger than expected and you do not get poisoned.
The gods who were dispatched were Apollo, Diana, and Venus.
These three seem to have been stolen by Ilias and Shubniguras over there, and Elizabeth there.
Useless bastards. How can you not kill even one of the three?
In order to kill the golden sun, he sprayed poison, and everyone died from the poison. Finally, Mayer was trying to enjoy the sight of the people he was guarding tearing to pieces and dying, but his momentum suddenly changed, and he was blown away into another space. The head gritted its teeth as it watched Geumtaeyang’s actions.
“You were planning it from the beginning.”
-I never would have thought that these bastards would kill their believers and people… No, they would kill these stupid, stupid people along with me. I really almost fell behind. And… Thanks to you poisoning me yourself, I’ve been powering up quite a bit.
“Come at me, I’ll crush you-“
Kwaaaaa!!!
And the Juggernaut raises his arms.
Up until now, I had only been dealing with machine guns, missiles, and bazookas, but that was when I raised my fist and tried to hit the golden sun with the built-in beam sword.
It is an object with enough power to easily tear apart a continent if struck down.
However-
The expected result did not happen.
The second weapon that Geumtaeyang took out.
An object that oozes like a sticky black liquid.
However, it was magical power.
It was magical power, and at the same time it was liquid.
And-
Look at the records recorded on the camera.
It took the form of a sword and as a result of facing the beam saber, it consumed the energy of the beam saber and at the same time blew away the hand holding the beam saber in one breath.
No, it wasn’t a cut.
-Warning, warning, extreme corrosion, toxic gas penetration. Emergency response mode and emergency repair mode activated.
“…Ha, crazy. What? Corrosion?”
Even though it is made of corrosion-resistant materials and finished with a process, a weapon with enough durability to withstand even a black hole becomes this strong after consuming all of the poison of the ancient demon beast, and even the poison of the cub?
Does this make sense?
“Because it doesn’t make sense, it means it exists outside the realm.”
“…!!!”
And then the voice of the man I missed appeared from behind.
And when I looked back, there he was, Kim Hae-jin.
“…You-“
“…Demon Sultan is very pleased with your actions. Thanks to you, thanks very much, his [Work] Is being completed properly.”
…
“Fuck you.”
“Don’t say anything to me, do you think I’m being sent to teabagging you because I want to say something like this?”
A dog that has no choice but to be dragged around with a leash attached.
And that dog is Kim Hae-jin.
The Hound of Tyndalus.
He is the man he loves.
And-
Demon Sultan sent him to harass himself.
But-
“…But this time, this old lady really pissed Clark off. Hehe, before she just bitten her, so should I say she stepped on the Legos this time?”
And with those words, Kim Hae-jin turns around, opens the portal, and goes out.
“…Let me tell you one more thing, no matter what you do, I can’t come back. Never.”
“…”
“So, please forget about me and spend the rest of your life doing something meaningful.”
With those words, Kim Hae-jin disappears.
But…
“Do you think something like that exists?”
There is no such thing.
There is no meaning to anything in this world.
His meaning was only for him.
…
Give up?
Fuck that bullshit.
“The game isn’t over yet.”
It’s not over until it’s over.
