Chapter 297 – Introduction

One.

Dismissal.

A very small sound, barely audible.

In this terrible demonic realm where the sky and the earth howl without a moment’s rest, the presence is even more insignificant, just the sound of small sparks.

However, in the first place, it was impossible to hear such a sound because the surrounding noise was too loud, so the old man and the clone turned their heads to the source of the sound at the same time.

The bodies of the two people, who had evolved while adapting to the terrible demonic realm to the point of being named ‘incomprehensible’, were far beyond the limits of land awakeners, so they were able to react almost instantly as soon as they heard the sound of sparks.

“…”
“······Her.”

In the eyes of the two people who turned their heads with their whole bodies tense, a sturdy young man with black hair, who should never be here at this moment, was looking around with his back turned from the two.

“Wow… That’s it. Anyway, where is this again?”

If you are an ordinary Awakener, you will be unable to breathe the moment you enter and the mana density is so high that your skin will melt.

In this demonic realm where the ground and sky shuddered without stopping even for an instant, and the roar of the terrible beasts vibrated mana and exercised physical force, the young man just looked around leisurely to satisfy his curiosity.

“Cave······. It’s a cave with very hard rocks. I know something is very loud, but I’m sure that’s not all.”

The young man’s self-talk, who seemed careless no matter who looked at it and did not even know where he had arrived in the first place, made the old man and the clones who were watching him clenched their fists in the laboratory hidden by the mana shield.

“······Doctor. That now…”
“… Certainly, you seem to have lost your guard. I don’t think he even knows where he came from in the first place.”
“At this distance and in that condition, you can subdue them at once. If it’s my surprise.”
“Yes, since you don’t have mana, you can trust the surprise attack.”

The fact that the clone is proud and doesn’t have as much mana as the old man admits is an absolute strength in ambush.
So now that the two of them had the person they had been aiming for for a lifetime, the clone and the old man decided to stun him in one blow.

“Hmmm…Why are there only caves? It can’t be…”
“Then·····.”

Hearing the frustrated muttering, the clone lowered his height like a cat and a wild beast on the verge of hunting, so he was ready to jump out at any moment.

Sup, whoa. The short breath soaked his lungs, and his thighs, which had been extremely developed due to growing up in an atrocious environment, swelled like a bomb about to explode.

The surprise that mortally wounded Mack Guffin, the world’s greatest Awakener and one of the only blemishes in the old man’s life.

“······Goes.”

The fatal blow, which even the world’s No. 1 Awakener could not react to, was reproduced again, targeting the young man who was looking around blankly at this moment.

Bang!!!!!!

As if a huge bomb exploded, the air full of mana scattered in all directions, and an intense explosion exploded.

Shouting, tearing through the air, and leaving no afterimage, the shot clone reached the young man’s back before he could even blink.

Wedge love!

Strong enough not to kill, but strong enough to sever the tether of consciousness.

Dismissed! Huung.

“What?!”

However, the clone’s perfect hand-snatch cut through the air, leaving only the remnants of the spark in vain, to the extent that the numerous rhetorical phrases listed above felt like lies.

“Huh, I thought I wouldn’t be able to find it, so I pretended to be stupid. It works too.”

The clone, who missed his target right in front of his eyes, felt goosebumps goosebumps all over his body at the voice he couldn’t hear coming from behind him.

“Keugh!”

The clone aimed at his back, rotated his body at once, and tried to swing his blade, but there was no way that the swing would hit the opponent who was not even a perfect surprise.

Pastor, who didn’t even use the rabbit hole and avoided the blade by simply stepping back, looked at the clone in front of him with a leisurely smile.

“Whoops… Anyway, I’m glad you came here well. Now you’re all behind How dare I… Eek?! You, what the fuck are you!”

And as if he was explaining it to someone, he was about to say the lines he had prepared, but when he saw the clone’s face, he unknowingly spat out curse words.

Surprised so much, Pastor’s mouth unknowingly spewed out a double curse that he didn’t usually do well, but it was a situation that anyone could see.

“······I am you. To be precise, he is a clone who perfectly cloned you.”

Because if he met someone who looked exactly like himself, anyone would be shocked and shocked.

In that respect, it could be said that Pastor, who only spat out double curses but didn’t fall out, passed away quietly.

Anyway, relatively little surprised, Pastor saw the clone that looked just like him in front of him and asked in a voice full of embarrassment.

“Me? Copied? No how?”
“That······.”
“Let me explain that.”

Just when the story about the background of his birth was about to come out of the clone’s mouth, an old man appeared behind Pastor’s back, in a place covered by a mana shield, creaking his mechanical legs.

He naturally cut off the clone’s words, but that much was already taken for granted in the old man’s life.

The old man didn’t even pay attention to the slight shake in the clone’s expression, following his voice and turning his head to face Pastor who was looking at him.

“You are······.”
“Khehehe…”

The old man let out a laugh that he couldn’t hide towards Pastor, whom he saw almost every day in photos and videos, but hadn’t met in person in 18 years.

To the old man, Pastor was the goal and aspiration of life, a long-cherished wish that must be fulfilled.

That’s why I couldn’t help but laugh right now when I saw Paster in person, and the old man smiled at Pastor as if he was genuinely happy and said hello first.

“It’s been a while… I’ve been wanting to see you like crazy. I’ve been looking forward to every day since that day, only the day I met you without a break, but meeting you like this is much better than I expected. Yes, much more.”

Hearing the old man’s heartfelt welcome and facing the deep smile on his lips, Pastor was speechless for a moment.

The old man who saw the scene said, ‘I met the enemy of my life after 18 years, a heinous criminal who was forcibly kidnapped at the level of being born while treating myself as a test subject, not a person. ·.’ And giggled.

“Ugh…”

Pastor furrowed his brows and let out a drool at the laughter that sounded like the stereotype of a mad scientist.

The old man’s smile and laughter grew even more sinister at the sound and reaction that a victim unexpectedly faced with the cause of the trauma, and when such a strange cycle continued, Pastor opened his mouth to the old man for the first time.

“Um… Uh… I’m sorry, but who are you? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone like you.”
“······What?”

The reason why Pastor drooled was that the old man in front of him looked at him and pretended to know him, and even that was not enough, saying what he only knew about that day and everything, making a fuss about wanting to see him, but he himself did not remember meeting the old man. It didn’t come out, and even though I heated my head and thought about it, it didn’t come to my mind at all.

Pastor’s words and eyes, as if he didn’t really know who he was, were so shocking to the old man who had been looking forward to meeting him for 18 years, and the clones who followed the old man and set their goal in life to meet him.

“Ah, you say you don’t know me…? Oh, that can’t be! Even if others don’t know me, Paster. Pastor, you shouldn’t know me!”
“Right dude! You can’t do that!”

Maybe that’s why the old man and the clone, in terms of story, are the final boss positions, so they maintain a serious atmosphere until the end, and even though they have to hold the weight, they express their feelings of bewilderment and begin to press Pastor.

“How long have I waited for you! How could you do this to me!”
“Okay! How much I suffered because of you from the fucking doctor! If we say that in this situation, what the hell are we going to be!”

Not by force, just words. It was not a well-structured, logical tone, but a personal, selfish, loud, and intellectless tone that would only be heard when a guest in the truth used a group.

“That… Uh, I still don’t know what it is… I’m sorry.”

In the end, Pastor had no choice but to apologize without knowing who the two were because the two were like beasts.
