Chapter 263 – 262. The Name Is King of Stars ■■■■■ (2)

I feel like my head is going to explode.

When did you first encounter this kind of pain?

I never looked down on him, thinking he was a demon lord I had dealt with in the past, but something different from before was sticking behind me.

And it was targeting Clark.

Clark Dunn Bringer.

When he first saw it, Gawain could not believe his ears when he heard that the Archmage, the eldest son of the famous wizard Marcus Dawn Bringer and likely to be the next youngest consul, had been dispatched from Magia.

Magia.

The most famous wizard among the wizards who came out of the magic cave.

Marcus’s eldest son.

The successor of Marcus, called the Destroyer.

That was Clark.

He said that at one point, Marcus was in trouble because of his completely different skin color, to the point where there were rumors that he was a disgrace.

When I first saw it, I can’t forget the sight of the elves immediately disabling the damn [Slave] Necklace and beating Alicia like a dog until Gawain stopped them.

Being able to easily destroy the ancient magic of the elves meant extraordinary skill, and Alicia’s idea of ​​turning such a being into a slave with magic was truly amazing.

As the journey progressed, Gawain and Clark clashed in many ways.

If there was a simple difference of opinion and a difference of method with Elizabeth, then it was a difference of belief between Gawain’s [Morality] And Clark, who denies that [Morality].

-…You’re helping them? There’s nothing that can help us?

-It’s not about being helpful, Clark. If you have power, you must use that power for the greater good.

-…It’s a great cause. Kkkk!! Fuha!

Hearing that, Clark laughs like crazy.

He became a knight, was educated that way, and lived that way.

You’re laughing at this.

-Why are you laughing so hard?

-You’re so obsessed with the idea that the weak are good, Gawain. Would you like to make a bet with me? If I’m wrong, I’ll serve in Camelot for about a year.

-Huh, Clark. Volunteering for a year?

-Because I am confident.

1 year.

The meaning of one year of Golden Sun was great.

Already during the journey, everyone recognized the skills of Geum Taeyang and Clark.

Elizabeth, who had been avoiding magic, also made sure to wear her magic armor to ensure her safety, and Elizabeth also liked Clark’s magic, so she openly tried to recruit Clark in the first place. She admitted that she had come.

Regardless of Elizabeth’s surprise, Clark smiled coldly and said,

-Instead, if you’re wrong… These bastards will all die. They said they were going to treat us, so they killed the woman with poison or something, and tried to rape the man?

-Isn’t it the opposite?!

This was said half as a joke.

Originally, it should have been the opposite, but the meaning was fully conveyed.

– Do you know why something like this hasn’t happened before?

Just as expected.

The price for helping a poor village was terrible.

-Well, who would dare do this to the knights of the Camelot Round Table? So if you show good will, thank you! Shouldn’t I flatter him while doing this?

-There is a difference in status there, but what about here?

The silver spoon that Clark had put in turned black, and Alicia, who had eaten without suspecting anything, fainted with foam at the mouth like her dog.

Just before Gawain fell asleep due to the sleeping pills, he killed all the villagers who came in with Clark, Elizabeth, a great sword, an axe, and a hammer.

Clark spoke in front of that tragedy.

-How can we know whether the dead person here is the Potato Knight of Camelot or the Golden Sun of Magia?

-Was there even a reason to kill him? Maybe not everyone agrees…

After waking up, he knew that Clark was right, but Gawain nevertheless argued that not everyone would be like that.

-I guess so. Not all will be like that. There must have been people who were genuinely grateful for the help, and who repaid the help.

And Clark chuckles and shows off the weapons in their hands.

How much blood was on the blood-stained things?

-But, what is there and what is there to gain in a village where no one walks around? Simple farming, slash-and-burn farmers make a living just by farming? Considering that, isn’t the color pretty?

-People change and their personalities differ depending on where they live and the environment they live in. And as a response to our request for help, they looked at our equipment and evaluated it. I wouldn’t know if I had just gotten away without doing anything, but I did it in the end, and there’s no reason to keep him alive unless he’s a bastard.

-Onlooking? Bystanders are also sympathizers. They are the ones who stand by and watch whether they die or not as the trash falls on them.

-If you want to believe in people’s good intentions, you should also know their malicious intentions, right?

– Only then can you know what good intentions are.

At first I thought he was just a heartless non-believer.

But-

He was good at observing people and seeing what kind of behavior this person would do.

That too…

…

So much so that you can tell at once.

If you don’t take out its claws, it will fall, but if you take action, it will break your head without hesitation.

The image of Clark like that comes to mind and I keep hearing whispers.

Can’t you see it with your eyes?

This guy is a monster.

I don’t know things like the human heart-

That it’s a monster.

The king does not know people’s hearts.

He recalls what Sir Tristan once said:

-…Gawain, is the king really human?

-What are you talking about, Tristan?

-…Isn’t that right? Don’t you actually think about yourself? For the sake of the island of Britannia and the kingdom of Camelot… Myself… With that woman-

-If you’re talking about Guinevere, that’s the king’s decision. Just follow it.

-…She is not a woman with a good reputation. No matter how strategic it may be-

-… Then how about she does it herself, Tristan?

-Are you crazy? Why am I with that girl-

-Then please respect the king’s decision, Sir Tristan. He must have thought about it and did it because he thought it was necessary.

That’s what he thought and told Tristan.

-There’s no way the king isn’t a person.

That guy is not a person.

He’s not human, so are you trying to make him your friend?

The one who can make you a sacrifice-

He continues to whisper.

Holding onto my head, painful memories, and the darkness of doubt amplify.

You will be sacrificed to her.

That’s right, because you received that guy’s power from the closest place.

You are, after all, his spare battery, nothing more, nothing less.

No, no.

That can’t be possible.

Of course, I denied it and denied it again.

Because it was like that.

If that was the case, then why on earth did Clark-

But I didn’t know.

From the moment he started thinking like that, doubts began to sprout.

You will eventually be betrayed by Geumtaeyang-

Was it then?

Fuuuuuk-

Clark rips out his own eyes.

At that moment, Gawain’s mind awakens.

Clark cuts out his eyes and transforms them into light.

At that moment, the thought wave that was hurting his head disappeared.

No, I only saw it now.

At the same time as he screamed, Clark’s outstretched fist blew away a huge god beyond the universe.

Being offered as a sacrifice.

Was this what it meant?

The power within your body resonates with that.

That Clark’s power, Clark’s will, spirit, and magic reside within him. That what the minister said was true, and that even though he could have done that, he didn’t do it.

By gouging out his own eyes, using his own body as a sacrifice, and through that, he gained strength and is demonstrating his power.

Clark-

Far from suffering, he endured it and punched Kaedes and the former demon king, Christine, who were attacking him, blowing their heads off with a single blow, inflicting a direct blow to the god’s body.

The appearance of Clark fiercely resisting the [Demon Sultan] Who is trying to do as he pleases after delivering an irreversible blow to a minister who is not even recognized by humans and who is enormous compared to other gods who can walk on the earth.

…

And looking at that, Gawain felt embarrassed that he had once distrusted Clark, but that he had distrusted Clark, who did not abandon him, did not sacrifice him, trusted him, believed in him, and continued to lead him forward.

“…It’s not useless.”

I don’t know who I’m talking to.

However.

Clearly, the reason they are trying to manipulate him is by urging him to sacrifice themselves.

At one point, I even harbored resentment toward Clark.

When King Arthur tried to kill Clark, Clark also resisted fiercely to survive, and King Arthur was killed by Mordred and his own brother.

Lancelot chased after him, and he also expressed meaningless resentment towards Lancelot for failing to protect the king.

In the end, it’s full of useless things.

Clark just struggled to survive.

-…This won’t work.

I remembered.

-…I can’t survive with this.

Clark, who was the youngest and carried the most.

-…What is this?

-Intermission time.

-…It’s time for a break now-

-If you keep sharpening your knife, it will break.

What Clark says

It was something a knight would say, but Clark said it.

-Even if you’re lying in a sea of ​​blood, shouldn’t you eat some delicious food sometimes? There are some fun things to watch, so let’s take a look. Without even thinking about it. Whether it’s a strategy or a travel plan, let’s put it all aside and see.

-…

-…It’s hard. The fact that you keep frowning. Shouldn’t we look at stories from other worlds for a moment so we can know what we need to protect?

A story from another world. Videos containing a peaceful world and the small stories of people living in a peaceful world.

Sometimes there were stories containing completely different period dramas and tragedies, but there were many stories that were so exciting that you could forget what was right in front of you.

Prepare everything and manage the mental health of party members.

-…Damn you bastards, if you at least ordered them to catch the demon lord, you don’t even have priest support!?

-…With this, everyone will die. Damn it.

-…I can’t let everyone die here.

-To make everyone go back together…

He wakes up alone, without anyone knowing, and studies magic.

I remember those images.

And, in order to save everyone, the young wizard, the boy who had been studying all day and night without much sleep-

-Damn it, that Kanf bitch is in there again. Defense reinforcement, charge, boost, everything is included. They will definitely come and attack you like dogs! Get everything ready – I’m coming too!

Raising the hammer, applying a buff to the party members, he charged in together, taking care not to let anyone die –

One day, while sending a letter, I unintentionally looked at it when I was carrying Clark, who had fallen asleep –

-…The world was wide, father. I found [Friends] Here for the first time.

-For the first time, it was my choice, not someone’s pretense. The [Friend] I chose.

-Dan One yearExcept.

I thought of Clark, who called himself a friend, called everyone a friend, and said he would make it all go home together.

“Yes, you would say so.”

And finally, as he watches Clark sacrifice himself to save the party by gouging out his own eyes and sacrificing himself, Gawain scolds himself and pulls himself together.

I can feel the two swords trembling.

This guy just hoped that the [Friend] He chose was safe.

He just wanted his friend to live.

Just ask to [Exist] Next to him. He was allowed to exist, a young child who was tired of the pretense and disgust of humans, a being who was thirsty for human connection.

Whatever his existence, his power, or his lineage, Clark never once betrayed himself, as he always had.

I felt dissatisfied, distrustful, and even for a moment, I wondered if I had made the wrong choice. The moment when I doubted whether this guy was right, the moment when I recognized my own ugliness in trying to betray this being who was more consistent than anyone else in the world.

Gawain had a choice.

You are carrying so much on your own.

Maybe this strike could be the last.

He doesn’t know how long his own power will last.

If you have a friend who defends his or her beliefs without giving in to evil temptations in order to protect his family, friends, and colleagues, you, too, should become a knight worthy of him.

Okay.

If that is your choice, if you will sacrifice no one and save everyone only through self-sacrifice –

I will shed that blood with you.

Pak-!

The swords merge into one handle.

The king’s sword that I saw up close.

He saw King Arthur’s sword in his hand.

I don’t know why this ended up in my hands.

Clark looked at what was in his hand-

A sword that shines not with the power of the sun, but with something completely different: the flash of light emitted by King Arthur, whom I once saw, the flash of starlight.

[Excalibur]Was responding to his heart.

“So, this too is my choice. As much as you don’t want to sacrifice us- this too is my choice!! I won’t force you to sacrifice only you…!!”

From below, upward – shoots towards the monster.

Using all his magical power, all his strength, he swings again and again, shooting out a flash of light.

With the momentum of not leaving a single thing behind –

This monster is thoroughly crushed and torn apart.

Wow…

And-

Finally, in the place of the one-eyed, horned half-body that caught Gawain’s eyes, the figure of [Caedes] Appears.

“…It’s you, I won’t listen to your snake-like tongue anymore!!!”

The Excalibur in Gawain’s hand becomes even more powerful. The power of starlight is so enormous that it cannot be compared to anything before. The moment when Clark’s power and magic power, and the powerful power of the user’s heart, dwell in the Holy Sword of the Star –

…!!!!

The sword that protects the world recognizes the existence of a powerful minister who threatens the world and seeks to disrupt it.

The Holy Sword of the Star begins to emit appropriate output and begins to shine.

The sword in the king’s hand.

King Arthur’s Excalibur responds to his hand.

The light of the sword is the hope of the stars, a sign of life that illuminates the earth.

This sword is a sword to protect the world.

Remind me of that again.

“Disappear!!!!!”

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■-!!!!!!

An indescribable scream is heard.

As the gigantic form of the Great God collapses, he also feels his body and gaze sinking to the ground.

…As expected, since I’m swinging like this, is this the end for me?

A blade pouring out from the collapsed remains of Christine seemed to strike him, but the blonde wizard blocked it and sent his body somewhere.

With that, Gawain lost his mind.

Before I was sent away, I thought I heard Clark smiling happily.

“…Look, you can do it.”

This is true.

I saw something very rare.

Wow! The Holy Sword of the Star.

Excalibur!

As expected, it is a weapon against foreign enemies.

This was the reason why I couldn’t help but feel scared when I brought Excalibur with me.

Causes fatal damage to external enemies and extraterrestrial beings.

I am no exception.

So that’s a crazy arsenal, the mark of the king of Camelot.

What Gawain needs most.

And the key that would become the hidden card to fuck Guinevere was placed in Barisarda.

It was a function that combined with Gilatin to transform it into Excalibur, the holy sword of the stars that I had seen and read about.

More than that…

Wow fuck.

Is this going to work?

Although there is a backup of the holy sword,

Humans destroyed the Great God?

Of course I know.

No, now slowly[I can understand.]

Its form may have collapsed, its will, the karma it had built up, and its god’s karma may have collapsed and been destroyed, but its current memories have all been destroyed, and its control and existence have collapsed.

But it has not disappeared.

It was not destroyed, but simply [Reset] Again.

When Kaedes’ control is broken, Christine, finally free of all shackles, emerges from the huge wreckage.

He was approaching this direction, almost naked and wearing red clothes, holding a huge sword, and was throwing sword energy at Gawain.

Gawain must have felt bad for chopping up his own body.

Naturally, Gawain was also able to properly hit Christine for the first time, and the sight of Christine jumping out of the huge wreckage was not good at all.

“…How could a human being have blown me all the way to this point, and on top of that, Kaedes, that damn bastard.”

“Why are you disintegrating because you can’t do it?”

Kaaaaa!!!

“Are you okay, Clark?”

Then he quickly approaches me and blocks Christine’s sword energy with his shield. There was no particular need to stop him, but both Gawain and Hector seemed to have had a change of heart in some ways.

It is good to have a fighting spirit and a desire to improve.

At least it means that I can now see and confirm new things in humans.

Even these [Facts] Are [Knowledge] And information.

And I am a [Star being] Who collects them instinctively.

Little by little, I realize that I am a [God] Of the stars.

“Of course. It’s just a process of getting to know myself, so it doesn’t really matter if I gain strength by gouging out my eyes or sacrificing my hands, feet, internal organs, etc. No, I know [Myself] Through this. If it’s a process to get there, you can do as much as you want.”

“…Damn, you’re out of your mind. My employer is out of his mind… But, by the way, do you know that my sisters are crying?”

“Oh, that’s a bit much.”

“If you know, don’t tell me about it. If you have to get to know yourself in that way, if you can get to know yourself and lead this fight to victory, then what do you think about the other guys watching?”

Christine’s great sword strikes Hector’s shield once again.

Christine’s blade split in half and grazed the side of Hector’s face.

Demeter’s power to resist the demonic energy that cracked and jumped out, instantly turning Kogan into ashes.

As long as he has his strength on the ground, Hector can continue to hold on.

But the shield cannot withstand it.

From the moment Kaedes’ restraint, manipulation, and hallucinations disappeared, something began to awaken little by little, and along with the feeling of regaining one’s sanity, one’s strength also became stronger.

Nevertheless, there is no fear in Hector’s eyes.

“But, it looks like you need help?”

Quad Deuk-

Before the shield splits further, I once again sacrifice my internal organs to unlock my power.

Offer your heart as a sacrifice.

I felt dizzy for a moment, but only for a moment.

“Move…Get out of the way, you bugs…Huh!?”

Kwaaaaa!!

“Oh?”

“You have become stronger, charge Hector.”

“As ordered-!!!”

Before the shield broke, the great shield Hector was holding succeeded in guarding. This is the end of the shield now.

What I can do now is to significantly boost Hector’s physical abilities and direct a merciless attack on Christine, who has been reduced to human size.

My power, and Hector’s physical abilities strengthened by the power of the [Star God].

Considering his physical specifications and enhanced power, something impossible was happening.

Kwaaaaa!!!

“Ugh!!?”

Christine gets hit by the pole and stumbles back.

Durinda in the hand of Hector,

An immutable window.

The unchanging spear, Durindana, was bent, even if only for a moment, and Hector skillfully struck it back to the other side, returning it and charging towards Christine.

Next, the heart, the internal organs, the magic power, and-

Lastly, the shell that surrounds everything about myself.

Use this shell as an offering and apply a buff to Arash.

My whole body is on fire, in pain that feels like it’s burning, I break my own shell, [Fable].

And[Awakening]For –

Send a hand signal towards Arash.

Now, here – precision shooting.

And, leave.

I sent a hand signal to Arash and saw that Arash nodded.

When you pass through this, a field is installed where the weight and speed accelerate exponentially.

Destructive power is determined by weight, speed, or momentum.

When Arash’s power is concentrated to the point where his face darkens and turns pale, the boost given to Hector towards this place runs out of effect, and Hector’s complexion begins to rapidly turn pale –

I warped Hector far away, and finally an arrow fired by Arash hit his head and pierced the heart of Christine, who was staggering.

And-

Kwaaaaa!!!

An explosion of energy.

Did that kill Christine?

Not at all.

No,

To be precise, I still have no intention of dying[No.]

I call its name.

It is coughing up blood and breathing heavily as if it will run out of breath at any moment, but when I define its state and [Existence], A change occurs.

“Christine… No – Cxaxukluth. Wake up, you’re not dead yet.”

And now that the definition of its existence has been established, Christine’s existence begins to be redefined and begins to change rapidly once again.

The existence of stars is like this.

It exists only when someone recognizes its existence, calls its name, and establishes its existence. They need someone to call them, manage them, and dominate them.

Either you realize it yourself, or someone gives it to you.

Only then does his existence reestablish itself, and a terrifying energy begins to spread.

The rapid change in his body has clearly made his strength stronger, but now that it has become difficult for him to properly control that strength, its true form begins to flicker like a shadow, finally becoming clearly visible.

And then, the purple eyes recognize me and are shocked.

She will also start to see my true identity.

“…You… Dog…What on earth are you…!?”

I finally ripped everything out of me.

After tearing and tearing apart, I offered up my entire human body as a sacrifice and replaced everything with the body of the [Star God].

No, the state of the body just before elixir.

Finally, I come face to face with Christine, having entered the preparation stage to completely transform into a star.

One day, my adoptive father showed me something.

A game where you destroy all of your opponent’s prominent monsters with something that looks like a cocoon.

I am a cocoon on the verge of fable, a chrysalis at max level.

“Congratulations on becoming the first star being to be beaten and defeated by Chrysalis. Christine, no-“

Xax Croot.

I am the king of stars.

Yog SothothRather than command-

Four years ago, you will be defeated here today.

With that declaration, I raise both fists filled with lightning and flames towards Christine.

“I’ll make you an asshole.”
