Episode 155 Before the Storm (2)

“Mr. Gozaburo… “

Rachel approached as if fascinated, and carefully stroked Gozaburo’s face. Gozaburo did not reject the hand but accepted it.

“I don’t think it’s ugly. You’ve had a hard time… “

‘Why did you harm yourself?’ Rachel answered, holding back the urge to ask.

In Rachel’s memories of her, the concubine, or rather Gozaburo, was a humorous and lively person.

Even in moments of life and death, she was such a bright person that she would tell strange jokes.

‘If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it~!’

‘Ruler! A sacred punch from a level 999 paladin!’

‘Woohaha fanfare~!’

‘Yes of Calls, dude~!’

‘Probability of success in subduing the devil… 69.74 percent… Hehe, I hope you taste destruction… ‘

‘Okay Hwibigo~!’

The voice from back then is still so vivid. Seeing Gozaburo’s scared face and sad expression left me speechless.

A moment of silence came.

“I heard you found me.”

Eunuch Buro, who had been avoiding Rachel’s gaze by slightly turning her face, opened her mouth again.

“I found it. “Every new person she met, she asked if they knew Gozaburo.”

“Why did you do that? I left you Not just you, but everyone.”

“Don’t say that. I know you left alone because you were thinking of us. “Everyone knows.”

The people Gozaburo saved were ordinary people. They did not demonstrate superhuman strength like paladins, wizards, or priests.

He probably left without saying a word because he knew that if he fought the devil in earnest, people would not be able to resist much and would be massacred.

“I just wanted to see it. “I was wondering how you were doing.”

“Nothing has changed. Rachel, you think of me as too nice.”

Gozaburo shook his head. His eyes were still wandering, unable to look directly at Rachel.

“Because he is that kind of person. He values life more than anyone else and has the courage to fight against evil… Gozaburo is that kind of person.”

Gozaburo smiled bitterly at those words.

“If I had been hiding all these years, would you still be able to say that?”

“Everyone wanders.”

Rachel said her words.

“And, aren’t you standing in front of me now?”

“…”

“I heard that you gathered the scattered Holy Knights and came. To fight the demons and to help Malak. It’s a heroic reason.”

“That’s not the only reason.”

Eunuch Buro locked eyes with Rachel. His eyes no longer wandered.

“I wanted to see you again too. Are you okay? “I wanted to check.”

At those words, Rachel’s eyes turned red.

“Gozaburo Holy Knight…”

“Now that I have checked, I will leave. Stay healthy.”

Gozaburo put on his helmet and turned around.

“Wait a minute!”

Rachel grabbed his arm

“Just like this… Is this the end? Just check the face and say hello?”

Rachel knows too. She said that in her relationship with him, she only loves him one-sidedly.

Even before they broke up two years ago, there wasn’t much progress between them. Gozaburo was busy subduing demons, and Rachel was busy taking care of people.

Because it was a world where you never knew when you might die, I decided to just keep this feeling deep inside.

But the opportunity came again. I didn’t want to miss it this time.

“First, have a cup of tea… “

The problem was that I couldn’t come up with words. Rachel has never experienced a situation like this.

During her youth, she lived solely studying public administration to prepare to become a clerk. She practically lived in the library and in her own home.

To put it in a global way, we can say that she has lived a life devoted to her studies to a level that is comparable to that of any other high school exam taker in Korea.

“That.”

Many words just lingered in my mouth and dissipated before I could spit them out.

“Well, let’s at least warm up before leaving.”

Rachel’s voice grew quieter. She is losing confidence.

‘Uh, what should I do?’

It was when she was sweating profusely and contemplating.

“Just a cup of tea.”

Gozaburo looked at the moonlight. The sight of a paladin wearing black armor standing on a moonlit night was like a painting.

“Rachel, didn’t you make the tea properly? “It’s a cooking skill that everyone approves of.”

‘Ah, you remember.’

This person remembers me, the human being, and the time he spent with me. That fact made Rachel happy.

“Well, it’s different now. “I practiced a lot during that time.”

“Ho.”

Goza Buro took off her helmet again and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

“Can I look forward to it?”

“Of course. Now, let’s go.”

Rachel pushed up her glasses. Gozaburo laughed mischievously at Rachel’s signature pose of hers, which he had not seen in a long time. It was the same smile as two years ago.

“Go!”

“Yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

Gozaburo returned to her solemn face.

[Ultrasanz crazy in annihilation mode on a moonlit night: Don’t make fun of me even if you’re worse than you think]

“Oh, I’m so fucking annoyed.”

Hannah waved her hand nervously and closed her empty message window.

That’s a private message from last night. Sanz This heartless guy just sent that and became quiet.

‘You can ask me if I slept well this morning. Is it that difficult to say just one word?’

Hannah pondered for dozens of minutes about whether to reply or not, but in the end, she decided not to because of her pride.

“I don’t know. “I’m not even replying anymore.”

A quiet guy who always wanders into strange places while saying that he will see me someday.

I wonder if I could at least send a selfie, and I try to move on by making excuses that don’t even seem like a big deal.

‘No, I sent a few selfies too. Then, wouldn’t you be able to send me some too?’

I thought he was possessed by someone who couldn’t send a selfie, but seeing that he was making fun of me, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.

‘Then what is it?’

Sanz said that the god Malak chose him as a messenger and sent him from place to place.

‘But isn’t it possible to come to the Tribal Alliance and rest sometimes? I’m here too.’

Even if you have to see something from far away, you can come by at least once. There is also a skill that allows the god he serves to summon his followers.

“Seed… “

Even when Lakhe, who snarks about being a guardian, doubts Sanzu, he stands by her and works hard to put up a shield. It was so embarrassing.

… That’s it, I was so bored without messaging Sanz. Hannah pouted her mouth and opened the community window.

[I believed in Mr. Monkey: These days, the big devil-level swindler character revealed

‘Malak’

To understand who this person is, you must first understand the ‘Great Devil Level’. ‘Great devil level’ means that he is stronger than a high-ranking devil and is capable of destroying a country alone or has a power greater than that.

Examples include the Dark Cloud Demon and the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon (Melee Special).

These guys are more threatening because they don’t go around alone, but they drag along their goons, but Malak is just a ‘great devil’ even without those henchmen.

He has the ability to easily shake off a group of scoundrels by himself.

It’s just a mess.

But let’s just say that there is someone stronger than Malak himself.

So, are you my opponent? No.

In addition to his original strength, Malak has something scary about him, and that is the existence of thousands of troops and tribal alliances that follow Malak.

Once you receive the strengthening buff, each soldier will have the power of a low-level devil.

Guardian Lake can fight high-ranking demons on his own, and strong people like Warchief Kanto and Elementalist Paya can fight well with mid-level demons.

Malak can even use healing skills and wide-area debuff skills. Not only that, but he even has the skill to control zombies (compare that necrolord with that damn old bastard).

Even if the number of soldiers decreases, is this an immortal army that can regenerate infinitely as long as Malak’s totem power exists?

What’s scarier is that this isn’t the end.

There are also paladins in the tribal alliance. Level 9 Princess Dina, who has killed one high-ranking demon, and her close friend are Malak.

To be on par with this person, you have to be at least Two Punch Man, Dragoon Ball, and Sanz in Annihilation Mode.

How did the dark cloud demon feel when he met Malak like this?

I thought they were bug-like people who were always catching rats, so I ran towards them in a hurry, but Malak was right in front of me.

I struggled to win somehow and even blew myself up, but the damage was zero.

Running away with only the head left, I try to call the seven-headed dragon demon for help, but it’s no help. It’s called ‘Thunderbolt Throw’.

Pain, despair, sadness, anger, and darkness must have burst out haha

Are you confident in fighting against the Tribal Alliance?

From now on, the real ‘subjugation’ begins]
