Chapter 427 – 426. Thorough Question and Answer Dance (6)

Sling, or simple throwing.

What humans have a different strength from than other animals is [Throwing].

Especially in the case of Hector, it is not just a stone, but a stone that contains the power of Demeter.

Due to the throwing, part of the mask was broken, the body was distorted here and there, the face was melted, bones were visible, and the eyeballs were protruding. To put it mildly, Kogan’s condition was not normal. One arm is broken and hanging limply, and the ax in his right hand still has a sinister feel to it.

Even if the body cannot recover, the unique berserker-like spirit does not die.

Hector is also deeply tired.

“Huh, really. I have to acknowledge your ability to find talent. Gawain, where did you get someone as good as that Potato Knight guy? But, it looks like he’s almost at the limit of his boost-“

It’s as they say.

They said the recoil would be severe.

To that extent, the current Kogan is not an easy opponent, and of course the opponent is under the divine protection of the Great Minister, and I applied a boost that overworks the body to the limit while suppressing my influence.

It’s fortunate that he is under Demeter’s protection and can recover, otherwise he would have died from this.

Hector also receives Kogan’s words.

“…The fight is not over until one of the two dies. And, we are both still standing, and the decision has not been made, Dwarf. You also lost one of your arms, so in the end, it is the same.”

“Ha! One of them is the same as that potato driver. Okay, before that, let me ask you one question.”

With Hector’s heavy breathing, he grabs Durindana with both hands and takes a stance.

He then deflects Kogan’s approaching ax blade with an upward slash, and responds to Kogan’s kick with an identical knee kick.

“Even though we faced each other like this, you are a great warrior. You are tough, and you can even improvise. How did this guy catch my eye?”

“It’s nothing, I got involved because of my damn little brother. Thanks to you, I was stewed and brought back to life!!”

“Kahahaha!! You were boiled in a stew and then came back to life? Damn, you’ve really improved at least in your ability to hold on to a dying bastard’s life, Golden Sun!”

The rock armor flies, and at the same time, the fragments are thrown away and catapulted into the wide distance.

Kogan’s axes were swung, but many were thrown and scattered, and one of Kogan’s eyes exploded.

The stone fragments explode and become bullets, hitting important parts such as the eyes and causing blindness.

Good night.

This is a very good method.

But despite that, with his only remaining eye, Kogan threw his ax at Hector’s armor.

He stands where the other one is away, picks up the axe, and while Hector blocks the axe with Durindana, Hector sees Kogan approaching him with fast steps and explodes all the magical power he had concentrated in his entire body at once.

Kwaaaaa!!!

I heard you still have some energy left – I guess that was the reason.

The entire armor is made of stone.

Kogan’s armor had already been turned into rags, so he improvised and used the surrounding stones and the remains of buildings as armor. Then, he exploded the stones and hit them with them. At the same time, Hector used up all the magical power he had and exploded the armor.

And as a result, Kogan ended up rolling around on the floor with his limbs flying.

After expending all his strength, Hector also falls to the ground, and the ax falls right in front of him.

…

Even then, Kogan died in this way.

“…God damn it, even in this state, I feel like my life is at stake…”

I come right next to him and help Hector up.

He approaches Kogan and extends his hand towards Kogan’s head. To finish him off. And Kogan’s remaining eyes turn to me. And then, he speaks to me with pronunciation leaking from his torn mouth.

“…Hey, kid. You won, but why do you look like you’re about to cry?”

“…Because I ended up killing you twice.”

And, curse the damn minister who made me die twice. At least we know that he is not a good man, and rather is infamous for being a murderer, drunk on blood, and a collector of pots.

However, that doesn’t mean he’s the type of person who would drive an ax into the head of an ally fighting with him, and despite that, they found something in common with each other and something they could become friends with, and in many ways, they laughed and chatted with each other and had fun together.

He was that kind of colleague, and that kind of colleague is once again dying before our eyes.

And as if my expression didn’t look too good, Kogan raises his middle finger.

It was the only place left.

…

“Ha! Don’t be a bully, kid. I heard about what kind of person you have become. But… Apart from that, you still retreated – if you meet an enemy, you kill him. After you kill him, you send him off thinking that there was a guy like that. “It suits him. I was actually happy to see you again. And as a bonus, you gave me such a glorious death haha!!”

The power of Mortus and the black flame that filled my right hand burned, and I ignited his body. The soul will burn, and the burned soul will become soul energy again and head to Acheron.

“You’re going to die now.”

“…So, you can’t go to Valhalla?”

“Because if you do that, you will be taken advantage of again.”

“…I’m okay with it. Hehe, but I really want to beat that bastard with hair that looks like grass.”

“…”

Kogan chuckles.

As always, this berserker dwarf…

It was always like this.

Even as he entered death, he was always smiling.

“…Kid. Don’t be so sad.”

“…”

“I went around breaking pots and collecting bones for bastards I didn’t like, and I happened to have a relationship and a daughter, and I couldn’t go back to that daughter, so I ended up like this. Still, the five years I spent with you were quite enjoyable times for me. . Even among the damn spellcasters, you were the only shining star – and that’s it…”

Kogan’s eyes turn to Lorraine.

Lorraine riding on the head of the Juggernaut and stabbing the ice spear.

Each joint was completely frozen and exploded, and in just 3 minutes against the immobile Juggernaut, to be exact, in 2 minutes and 15 seconds, he completely destroyed and subdued the Juggernaut, froze his head, and expanded the spear he had pierced from the inside. Explode it

When water freezes, its volume increases, and blood and brain fluid are also water.

What if it contains moisture and freezes?

Crispy!!!

Kogan chuckles as he sees the Juggernaut falling apart and Lorraine landing lightly on the ground.

“…Where did you create such a monster, you idiot? I laughed when I heard you came in his place, but now I think I understand.”

Because he is a precious disciple.

And now, having blossomed like this, she leaves behind the astonishment of countless Magia mages and puts on her mask again, her green hair flowing.

If that were a performance, it would be a performance, but after all, he is my student.

It’s amazing that you can do that in 3 minutes.

“Right? He’s my number one student.”

“Is there a No. 2 too? If you think about it by your standards, that No. 2 will grow into a real monster. That’s just like you, you bastard. If there’s something new, you create it, apply it, and if you see potential, you push it, from start to finish. Sadist from head to toe“If you were paying attention, your student’s troubles will be obvious haha!!”

And while Kogan is laughing, a gust of wind suddenly blows up.

As a bonus, it also includes the energy of the orb containing [Black Flame] That I gave it to use in times of emergency.

Finally, Silphid was ready, and the gust of wind it spewed out, a huge whirlpool that started to suck in like a vacuum cleaner, soared into the sky-

Kyaaaaa-!!!!

Countless [Alicias] Are sucked into the sky and burned as they are swallowed up by a whirlwind of black flame. All of them were burned, driven to the point where they could no longer regenerate, and countless monsters that had lost their intelligence were split and split again until their intelligence degenerated to a complete zombie level, and then the split Alicia was sucked in. Is a vacuum cleaner.

I even went as far as to search there.

Don’t miss a single one.

And Silphid recognizes it and absorbs it all.

Sylphid dwells in Liz’s sword, sucks them all in, crushes them, and burns them, and as a result – Alicia’s mask is finally broken, and Alicia’s soul is completely crushed and burns.

“No!!! No!!! I can’t die like this – I can’t die!!!! My hometown, my home!!! I have to kill that son of a bitch who ruined my house and made me bald!!! Leave this, leave this! Silphid!!!! I haven’t killed that bastard yet!!!”

-There is no place for you in this world, Alicia. You were incompetent and stupid, and you were stupid and stupid until the very end. And, you failed to utilize my power properly, and you lived in this world with a constant sense of inferiority to your sisters and brothers. I’m not proud of myself, and I don’t even think about improving the things I’m good at.

“Shut up!!! It’s all because of you!!! It’s because of you!!!! The reason I became like this, the reason I’m dying like this, the ones who killed me, the elves who killed me, the kingdom, the world – it’s all because of you. !!! Everyone, you guys ㄸ…”

Grumbling!!

And-

At the end, Kogan chuckled.

“…That idiot, even when he leaves, he goes to art. Tsk.”

Liz cleaned up Alicia and I opened the door.

I have already spoken to Gawain.

Naturally, Gawain opens the door, comes out of the labyrinth, and sees Kogan burning with black flames.

Liz, Gawain, and me.

All members of the expedition have gathered here, and as they look at the burning Kogan for the last time, Liz speaks her words.

“…It’s been a while, Kogan. And soon… I’ll say goodbye.”

“…Why are you acting so serious, gorilla bitch? You should just laugh and laugh, bitch.”

“…”

“Damn it, I guess I’m a real idiot.”

And Liz didn’t say anything either. He just comes to my right and holds my other hand.

And looking at it, Kogan chuckles.

As if it were pleasant.

“… Two years have passed. And, you two were really special. So… Well, if that’s the case, live well and take care of yourselves, you guys.”

“…Still, your language is harsh, Kogan.”

Gawain also says something to Kogan.

There is a rare sadness in Kogan’s eyes as he looks at Gawain.

“…Why are you so serious, why are you so serious? You look like you’re carrying it all on your own. What’s going on is none of my business, but there’s that mojiri bastard next to you, so why are you worrying?”

“Because it’s something I have to solve.”

“Then, ask Clark for some advice. This brat is good and he will give you advice accordingly. If you can accept it…”

“…You were a great warrior.”

“That was the same for you too, Gawain. You managed to survive, too.”

And-

“…Kid. Don’t cry.”

“…”

I don’t know.

To be honest, I didn’t think I would cry anymore.

Tears were flowing from my eyes.

I don’t know.

As I experienced this hellish battle, the more I did it, the more exhausted I became.

To be honest, it’s an asshole and an expedition team that is swayed by it. To protect them, I had to do everything I could to prepare, and I even worked hard until late at night to save everyone and bring them home-

I eventually fainted after using magic during the battle due to extreme fatigue.

Of course, after that, he eventually succeeded in lifting Tio Gransha’s vicious siege, but-

…

-…If it was something you could do alone, why was this expedition created?

-…But-

-You’re trying to carry everything on your own, you idiot. Do you think we’re not kids and can’t even take care of ourselves? This is why all geniuses are like this. These are people who know they are good and act accordingly.

-…People who can do a lot, should do more-

The first time I showed my weakness to them.

In the end, I was exhausted and collapsed.

It seems like they were taking turns protecting me. Their eyes were puffy and they looked like they hadn’t slept well.

There happened to be Kogan-

He said while hitting me on the head.

-That’s what smart guys do. No matter what you do, the bastards die, and the bastards survive. And, there are some idiots who cannot be saved no matter what they do. You basically don’t trust humans. Isn’t it?

-…

As I said, I don’t trust humans.

But…

-…Don’t carry it alone. At the very least, we gathered here to set up the devil’s earthen pot, but they’re all just a bunch of bastards. I care about everything you don’t care about, and I also care about everything you care about. Don’t overwork yourself, you idiot.

To trust someone.

It was my first time doing this.

It was an act, and it was achieved on this expedition, and Kogan seemed to have not grown older in vain, and gave various advice.

No matter what you do, the damn place will be ruined.

So don’t get caught up in every single thing.

From then on, it was a decisive opportunity for me to build friendships with my companions on the expedition.

One day, I asked if we would like to do something together if we returned to live together.

“…What’s the point of crying even more when people tell you not to cry? The guy next to him was strong, and you, Gawain, and Elizabeth were strong too. And… You did the best you could, and you did what you could. “I did what I could. So, be confident. I ended up like this, it was just inevitable that it would end like this. So… Make sure you survive. Do you understand?”

“…”

I was so hung up that even the answer seemed like shit, so I nodded.

“…Okay, that’s enough. Tasha.”

And, finally, with only the ax left by his side, Kogan’s body and soul burn completely in black flame and head towards Acheron.

I didn’t want it to end this way.

But…

It had to end like this.

Because someone is trying to use me, and someone is pulling everything to kill me.

Just- I wiped away my flowing tears, took a deep breath, and-

He simply mourned the death of his former comrade in silence and then shouted.

“…Rest in Peace.”
