Chapter 800: The Last (33)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

I couldn’t really define the Song Villain, but I could probably call him a believer of sunset light if I had to. It had come to the point where his actions were convincing to some extent. It was also understandable why the guy who lived silently started to move.

If he thought of Kim Hyunsung as the Messiah and God, wasn’t his reasons obvious?

He had most likely judged that he wasn’t complete at present. He might be thinking that he was just half-complete.

Kim Hyunsung, who showed a dignified, always-on-top, overwhelming appearance, might have looked like he began to be shaken after Lee Kiyoung’s death.

Song might have judged that he could fill what Hyunsung lacked, or he probably judged he could complete him. I couldn’t squeeze out his thoughts, but… many parts fit that context.

Song Villain didn’t seem confident on the screen, and he didn’t seem to have adapted well to the continent.

Of course, many things would have happened during those times, but I thought it was only Kim Hyunsung that made him decide to move.

‘Do you know who made him a god?’

I had created the regressor from start to finish.

‘Do you even know who completed Kim Hyunsung?’

The fact that the guy who popped out of nowhere imbued impurities in what I achieved made me angry.

However, I had to admit that some of my anxiousness had disappeared. Maybe it was because, as Benignore said, I realized the difference between him and me. Contrary to what I thought about him becoming a big problem, he wasn’t actually a big deal… I wasn’t overestimating myself, but comparing my specs with him was something that made me feel sorry for myself.

‘I am more competent.’

However, in such a confrontation, the one with nothing always won.

I wasn’t an appropriate example, but in morning-time dramas, the one who started with nothing always won. The one who just lived firmly and had no skills always emerged victoriously. But that was only in morning dramas.

As I stroked the three colors, they started wandering around as if they were in a good mood.

At the same time, I looked at Song Sookyung through one side of the telescope. It looked like he had become extremely busy, seemingly firm in his own way.

-A battle against undead beings is taking place in the plains of Wales. We don’t know the exact number…

-We will send support troops.

-We need Jung Hayan’s help. Not only will it take too long, but problems have also risen in some of the stronghold cities, disallowing the troops from moving. I think you should at least send the griffons as support.

-Jung Hayan’s whereabouts are currently unknown.

Our Hayan was busy.

-You haven’t found the cause yet?

-It seems that the undeads are growing rapidly around the place where the plague broke out. Initial suppression is still possible, but they aren’t affected by the divine power…

Good job, Jihye.

-Evacuate the citizens and block the area.

-Yes. We will do as you said… Ahhhhhh!

The twins of the brigade showed up behind the guy who delivered the report. The Song Villain wouldn’t be able to see them, but I could due to the telescope.

-Is he dead?

-No.

-He’s a wizard, right?

-Yes.

-His level.

-Heroic-grade.

-Let’s drag him.

-Unnie will like it.

-She will.

These were our trusty twins. For some reason, I thought I would have liked them in the first round. It would almost be like a masked hero family. I thought I would have defended them if the psychopath killer bullied them, telling him not to mess with the twins.

Maybe it would be the opposite.

Seeing the Song Villain grabbing his head, it seemed that things weren’t going as he expected.

‘Why are you doing that already? I don’t think it even started yet.’

It wasn’t to scold and reprimand him for his incompetence. It really hadn’t even started yet.

There were problems in a few small towns, in the small plains.

Such matters wouldn’t have been needed to be reported unless they were special situations like when Eberia was turned asunder.

Some nearby dungeon might have caused a problem. Maybe a new one just appeared, or perhaps a boss monster. It was an issue that had to be solved by adventurers in the vicinity.

That was a common occurrence in unstabilized areas.

One minor problem was that those phenomena were happening all over the region.

For Song Sookyung of the proud New Continental Protection and Management Committee, it was a situation that couldn’t be ignored.

‘But it’s embarrassing to manage heroes in groups.’

They couldn’t use a sledgehammer to kill a fly.

Seeing that Jihye was benefiting from the speed of the events unfolding, it seemed that even I, who had the telescope, wouldn’t be able to stop the water from leaking everywhere.

‘Do you know how strong Jihye is?’

It was embarrassing to say that it was a big blow, but it seemed clear that he was under stress.

She was far away, and although it didn’t really seem that she intended this situation, she was helping me. It was easy to get coaxed when they were mentally pushed into a corner. The more active she was, the easier it became for me to act.

-Please contact the Republic and tell them to take care of the problem. Send a message to the New Protection and Management Committee to deploy an investigation team as well. Rather than a priest, an investigation team composed of alchemists and wizards… and gather information from local adventurers…

-…

-Sigh… Please provide the relevant investigation report as soon as possible.

-How was the talk with the Sunset Swordsman…

-It wasn’t bad. I think the atmosphere was pretty good… we also exchanged messages yesterday, and I think he’ll probably contact me today. He requires structural reorganizations and conditions, but that won’t change much. Maybe we need to arrange a seat for Kim Hyunsung. I’ll take care of this.

-I think it’s better to start little by little…

-Yes. I agree, assistant. There haven’t been any big results yet.

After looking at the Goddess’s Hand Mirror for a moment, I saw him moving his finger to the call button. He was probably frustrated.

-Blue Guild Master. This is Song Sookyung of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee.

-…

-Blue Guild Master?

-I have delegated all authority to manager Kim Mi-young, so please contact her.

-Ah… Yes. Sorry if I bothered you.

-You didn’t. Goodbye.

‘It seems like the Blue Guild is also busy.’

After closing his eyes for a moment, I could see him calling manager Kim Mi-young.

Although he was working hard to find a point of consensus while taking notes, those negotiations being finished with such a call were impossible.

The outcome was easy to predict.

I was worried that Kim Hyunsung would immediately go to the committee, saying that he would do what he wanted, but he couldn’t be stupid.

He judged that it was a complicated situation to solve and asked Kim Mi-young for help, which was good for the Blue Guild.

He requested the restructuring of the personnel group organized around the Republic and the Kingdom Union and the management system of the heroes for corrections, and he was put in a position where he couldn’t do much. Although he still held public opinion battles using the press, Kim Hyunsung wasn’t the type to be swung over by it.

One problem was that Kim Hyunsung was anxious.

The conversation between him and Kim Mi-young was still in my mind.

‘I would like you to tell me about the continent’s current situation. Please explain step by step what the New Continental Protection and Management Committee is and exactly what condition Eberia is in.’

When I told him to work, fuck, he went shopping for bags, and now that I tell him not to work, he suddenly wanted to take responsibility. Still, it wasn’t a bad conversation.

‘Also, about the direction in which our guild and I should move… Please don’t think about my position and let me know what your opinions are.’

‘At this time, there are no alternative means for the New Continental Protection and Management Committee. All groups on the continent are supporting them, considering the information and infrastructure they have can never be ignored. The Blue Guild cannot fight alone.’

‘Then are you saying that I’d better accept his suggestion?’

‘No. That’s…’

‘I thought maybe Kiyoung might be hoping for it.’

‘…’

‘He wants to protect this continent even if it means risking his life. Even when he comes back, I want things to be intact… I remember him looking at the World Tree in Eberia, smiling and saying that it was huge. I can’t imagine how sad he would have been after things broke out. The tears flowing from the statue are probably… due to that. Tears due to the ruined Eberia and the wounded elves… He told me that he also believes in me because he hopes to solve this problem.’

‘…’

‘The reason he gave a spear to Hyejin is also… maybe…’

‘Yes?’

‘Because he doesn’t want me to carry the burden by myself.’

The way he laughed, disappointed as if he only realized it now, was so detestable that I wanted to hit him.

‘I think he wanted to say that he is always with us. He probably feels two things: anxiety about me collapsing and a wish that I would resolve the current situation.’

‘What do you mean…’

‘It’s nothing, manager.’

As I turned my gaze, I saw Kim Mi-young holding a meeting with the guild staff.

I wasn’t certain if she thought they found a breakthrough, but she was eagerly talking, and I thought I knew what she was thinking.

She intended to promote the New Continental Protection and Management Committee, centered on Kim Hyunsung, rather than being led by the Republic and Kingdom Alliance.

Even I would have thought that it was the best option if I were her.

The continent couldn’t be kept intact under the influence of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee, so she planned to dominate the group with Kim Hyunsung.

It was realistic because I could guarantee Kim Mi-young’s ability.

On the other hand, the Song Villain was under stress due to many issues. He sighed and went to the Tactic Kim Hyunsung training ground and put on the helmet, but there was no way that the practice would work properly.

He didn’t have the ability in the first place, and there was no class change or attribute that he was waiting for. Even while humming, he went to vomit and drove himself into pain.

-Damn…

He threw his helmet in anger and spat out harsh words.

I had no choice but to speak right away.

“Take my hand, mortal.”

It was a routine that I had never missed recently.

-Huh?

“Take my hand, and you shall gain what you want.”

-W-Who is it? Who are you!

“You will get everything you want.”

To be precise, it was just a demon that was digging into his insides, telling him what I was saying, but it felt sweet.

“I’ll grant you all that you desire in the world, you foolish and stupid mortal. Now… Take my hand.” I said this as I mixed up some vibrato, and the Song Villain hurriedly looked around.
