Chapter 799: The Last (32)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
That bastard… What the hell?
-I know it’s difficult to answer right away. You probably need time to think.
-…
-If you have any questions, I would like you to contact us anytime. I just want you to know that I’m ready at any moment, Sunset Swordsman.
‘What? What in the world…’
It was just for a moment, but he had a weird expression.
‘I thought you had a mental breakdown?’
I suddenly thought about the possibility that he might be a seed sown by Lee Jihye.
Of course, it was an absurd hypothesis, but his reaction was bizarre enough that I had to think seriously about it. I wondered if she had any reason to draw attention to herself just to launch the New Continental Protection and Management Committee.
‘Are you aiming for something else? Or are you taking orders?’
The Republic and the Union protected the Song Villain, but it wasn’t without risk. Exposing himself and moving meant he had to consider that he could always face a penalty.
He might be thinking of turning the continent’s hero into an enemy. There was also a possibility of dying asleep.
That didn’t make me feel that there was anyone behind him. There was no guarantee that Lucifer wouldn’t be there, but I at least had no evidence of demons or others being involved with him.
Although his intention to take the place of Lee Kiyoung might seem to be his purpose, he had no reason to do so unless power was what he aimed for.
My thoughts became complicated when I saw our guys crying out loud like that.
Kim Hyunsung was also looking at the place where he left as if he felt the same.
‘Fuck, let’s give up. Actually, I don’t even need to be curious…’
No matter what Kim Hyunsung thought, whether he really was for the continent or not had nothing to do with me.
In fact, even if that bastard was the last remaining hope of the continent, my stance remained unchanged. It was an undeniable fact that Song Villain clearly crossed the line.
Kim Hyunsung was walking slowly.
He clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, and I didn’t want to even look at his face at the thought that he might betray me.
Of course, I knew he wouldn’t because of his attribute…
‘We don’t know what can happen.’
I couldn’t dedicate too much to someone.
I had to always think about the worst and act.
If Kim Hyunsung got rid of me, fuck, what would I do?
‘What do I do? I’ll die.’
It was then that a voice came from behind.
“That’s fun.”
“Long time no see, Belial.”
“How is it? That human… It seems like someone who looks quite usable appeared.”
‘Usable, my ass.’
“You must have been mistaken.”
“He might be useful somewhere.”
He had to be ruled out, regardless. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if Song Villain made a big enough mistake in order to face a miserable end, but I wasn’t in a position to judge that in the first place.
Although my mood kept fluctuating because of self-brainwashing, honestly, I was slightly grateful to the Song Villain. It was just another opportunity to think about Lee Kiyoung once again.
Since he stepped on the continent, Lee Kiyoung had never yielded. If anyone touched something that was mine, fuck, they had to die. I thought it would be reasonable to leave it to Jihye, but honestly, I hated waiting. I didn’t know how she would act in the first place.
I had to deal with those who put their hands on the strawberries on top of the whipped cream I had spit on to save them.
Rather, it felt like my head had gone cold. Belial seemed to know the gist of what I was thinking.
Considering that he looked to be enjoying himself, it seemed that he didn’t just come to provoke me.
“Aren’t you curious?”
“What are you talking about…”
“Aren’t you curious about that man?”
“I’m not that curious.”
“Yes, that would be natural. Regardless of what kind of person he is, it will not change that he made you angry. You will eventually know. Even if the system is blocking it, it doesn’t mean there’s no way… In the end, we will accomplish our purpose. What I’m talking about is how to get rid of that lowly mortal.”
“…”
“We are also influenced by the system. It’s a little different, but for your convenience, think of it as the system notarizing the contract. Only demons contracted or summoned can influence that world, but there are some cases in which humans who lived in the wrath of demons or gods become miserable.”
“…”
“I brought something interesting, but I don’t know if it will help. It’ll probably entertain me either way, so you can think of it as a bribe.”
“…”
“I was getting bored, so this is good.”
His face looked like he was having the time of his life, and I didn’t know why, but I started to smile.
“Thank you, Belial.”
“It’s not something I gave you to be appreciated.”
What Belial took out was a small marble.
As I looked into it, pretending not to be interested, Song Sookyung caught my eyes.
I didn’t know when the scene was, but it wasn’t the present. He looked different. Currently, he wore a neat uniform, but in the marble, it looked tattered. The background was also different. He wasn’t in the Kingdom Union in where he was located. He was at Lindel.
I quickly understood what I was seeing.
‘It’s the past.’
It might be Song Sookyung’s memory.
However, how did he get this? Our Director Bell was so competent.
After a glimpse of Belial’s face, I began to turn my gaze once again to the small bead. I didn’t know exactly when it happened, but it was boring.
It was a normal video where he went hunting with his colleagues at the time. I looked at the bead quietly, wondering if I could get his weak spot, but I couldn’t see any.
Although there was a general conversation going back and forth… It wasn’t impressive. They looked like typical novice adventurers.
‘It’s something you have to do to survive. You have to have courage.’
‘I know.’
‘You think too much. Decide with ease, Sookyung. Did you hear about the Blue Guild? Kim Hyunsung, Lee Kiyoung, Jung Hayan… They haven’t been here for a long time, but the press keeps talking about them. They’re the center of Lindel. Think of it as an opportunity. Slay monsters and get the right equipment to get stronger. That’s the basics. There’s no guarantee that we won’t be like them. We can become just as powerful.’
‘…’
‘Don’t still think that God will save us. We’re not on Earth anymore. There are actual gods here, not a fake one, but they abandoned us.’
‘I know. Let’s move.’
‘Got it.’
That was when the landscape changed. He was being chased.
‘Sigh… Sigh… Sigh…’
‘Sookyung, run away!’
‘Sigh… Sigh…’
A huge monster was running towards him. It seemed like one of those common scenes where an adventurer who went hunting got into an accident.
Most of his party had already been killed. It wasn’t common to be chased by an advanced adventurer or a monster one couldn’t deal with in the middle of the forest.
The beast was behind him, running through the woods.
His trousers had become damp, and the way he was running away while throwing away his equipment put me in a good mood.
His expression contained only the desire to survive.
‘Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!’
‘Damn! Min-cheol!!’
‘Help me! H-Help me!!’
One of them was caught, and his body was split in half in the air. With no time to look back, he was terrified.
‘Sigh… Sigh…’
He appeared so different from his current self. Frankly, he seemed to be nothing but a scared moron.
It also looked like he had lost his reason. In fact, who could maintain reason in such a situation? The corpses of his colleagues were scattered all over the overgrowth, and the sound of screams continued to echo.
There had been many safeguards recently, but most normal clans and small guilds probably experienced something similar.
‘Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!’
“Go! Be strong! Get rid of it!”
At that moment, the monster’s arm finally reached him.
Zip.
The body of the giant monster was torn apart with that sound. Someone came into my eyes between the perfectly divided corpse.
“…”
I thought I knew why Belial had brought this.
It was Kim Hyunsung who saved him.
“…”
He had no emotions. He just turned around quietly without even looking at him.
I could see Song Sookyung opening his eyes slowly, trembling, not knowing what happened.
He was so cool… Really. Hyunsung was cool. I admitted that.
He met Kim Hyunsung before leaving Lindel. I could see the party members taking care of Song Sookyung as he looked blankly at the place where Kim Hyunsung was heading.
‘I survived. Damn… I survived.’
‘Sookyung. Are you okay?’
‘Who was that just now? Was that… the Blue Guild Master?’
‘Why would the Blue Guild Master… be here…’
‘Aren’t we supposed to say thank you?’
‘Blue Guild Master! Kim Hyunsung!’
Song’s eyes got bigger.
Whenever Kim Hyunsung, who moved slowly, swung his sword, more monsters were split in half. They couldn’t scream. All they could do was fall helplessly before his strength. His face was filled with excitement in an instant.
I thought I could see what the bizarre expression I had seen before was.
Before long, I had no choice but to burst into laughter at the words he muttered.
‘Messiah…’
‘…’
‘T-That person is the Messiah…’
“Pfff… Pfff…”
He was what?
Yes, I knew it. Something was off about him.
I kept laughing not because he called Kim Hyunsung the Messiah. It was because I came up with a pretty good idea. Belial was also slowly smiling. Maybe he thought I had found the answer.
“I want to hear it too.”
There was no need to hide it.
“…”
“…”
I needed Belial’s help anyway.
“That bastard… Pfff… Puhee…”
“…”
“That bastard… I’ll make him sign a contract with a demon.”
“Haha…”
“I’m going to make him sign a contract with a demon. Pfff… Puhhahehehe!”
“Ha… You’re a disgusting soul, after all! Hahahahahahahahaha!”
“I’m going to make him sign a contract with a demon… Hehehehahahaha!”
Benignore, who arrived late, read the room and laughed with us. She didn’t seem to know what was going on, but she looked to be enjoying herself.
“Huh?”
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
“Huh?”
“Puhahehehehehe!”
“Pfff… He…? Pfff… Hehehehehehehehe!”
