Chapter 118 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is the Hero, the Half Is XXX
Slave imprinting forced the imprinted slave to obey the master’s orders without caring about the mental state of the imprinted slave.
In fact, considering that Yeonhwa is a tool, it was even said that this state is more appropriate.
But that was a claim she could make because Yeonhwa, the elf Cheonma, did not see anyone other than herself and those she recognized as the same person.
Eugene also saw all kinds of dirty things on Earth, but even so, he was a civilized person with a basic awareness of human rights.
To that extent, even though she purchased Genos as her slave in order to save her world, you can honestly feel a sense of remorse every time she gives him her orders.
Even when Yeonhwa showed off her relationship with Genos, Yeonhwa’s feelings came first, so he went along with it, but he couldn’t help but feel sorry.
As such, if Eugene can cure Genos’ mental illness, she wants to do so.
‘Well, in the end, they will still use you as a slave.’
It was something she could not compromise on, as it was something Eugene could do to save the world and protect the future of living together with Yeonhwa.
In addition, if we put the Earth’s human rights awareness aside, Eugene was wielding legitimate rights as he legitimately purchased Genos, a felon, for close to 12 billion won.
‘Still, I’m afraid of the aftermath, so I plan to release them after preventing destruction…’
Genos, a genius who possesses the talent of Moon Gok-seong, may reach the level of a ruler that even Yeon-hwa could not, and even destroy the slave imprint that controls him.
So, Eugene was a slave who thought about her human rights and planned to treat her as a slave.
As part of this, he planned to provide Yeonhwa with her own wages without knowing about her, and if he had the chance, he also planned to treat her mental illness.
… On that topic, did Yeonhwa go along with the play where she showed off her relationship with Eugene to Genos? You could argue, but from Eugene’s perspective, isn’t that okay? That was how I felt.
Isn’t that why Eugene raped Genos?
Although it may have been unpleasant from Genos’s perspective, he also thought that it was the duty of a servant to pretend not to notice his employer’s promiscuous lifestyle.
For that reason, even if you look at it objectively, Eugene believes that Genos has not yet done anything to the extent of taking advantage of her position as her slave to hold a grudge against her.
So, Eugene thought it would be a good idea to show her some favor so that she would not suffer any consequences if he freed her as much as he used her as a slave. Let’s use this hidden dungeon to treat her mental illness! That was the decision I made.
‘Above all, if you leave it like this, there is a possibility that it will hinder your ability to rise to the top.’
There are cases where one rises to the level with madness, but in most cases, the words are not good.
Therefore, Eugene believes that in order to properly nurture a talented person, no matter how talented she is, she needs to first fix her mentality.
Eugene said that, including such rational reasons, she ultimately decided to take Genos with her and challenge the final hidden dungeon where the hidden pieces exist.
“Let’s go.”
“…”
Of course, Genos couldn’t have known that Eugene was worried for that reason.
It is said that she just silently followed Eugene into the dungeon, not knowing that the dungeon he was leading her into was a ‘hell’ that she would never experience again.
+++
The moment you enter the dungeon, darkness comes, and along with the darkness, you feel as if your five senses are disintegrating.
It could be said that it was a very unpleasant sight that Eugene saw the moment he opened his eyes, frowning at the external force that he could not refuse even though he had reached the level of a superhuman.
‘… ‘Fuck.’
I knew it. He realizes that the hidden dungeon he entered is a dungeon that constantly replays the challenger’s most painful trauma.
In fact, in the original work, the trauma of the main character the player is playing was shown through cut scenes, depending on the route.
Therefore, Eugene was prepared to face his trauma in the hallucinatory world if he was currently unable to resist the gimmick of the dungeon.
… However, no matter how prepared he was, the moment he came to his senses, he could not help but swear at the sight that unfolded before his eyes.
“West…”
“…”
“Girl… “Would it have been helpful in your revenge?”
The moment Eugene’s five senses, which had been paralyzed after entering the dungeon, recovered, what unfolded before his eyes was a piece of hell.
A space lined with collapsed and shattered high-rise buildings, as if it were a battlefield.
No, it did not look like a battlefield, but was actually a battlefield, and it was a place that made you wonder if the cityscape where modern street fighting took place would be like this.
And in the middle of that place, Eugene was holding a woman in a pure white kimono in her arms with her back to the corpse of a huge monster.
“… “What are you doing on your own?”
Eugene, who was holding the pure white woman in his arms, was not in good condition.
As if to prove that he had just fought a fierce battle, one leg was missing and the skin on his entire body was in an unpleasant state of burns.
One of her eyes was destroyed to the point where she couldn’t even see her form, so she was looking down at the woman in her arms with only one eye open with an expression that was hard to describe.
And through the mouth moving in that state, ignoring his will, Eugene had no choice but to understand what kind of scenery this hidden dungeon was showing him.
“Hehe, that’s right. Girl, I did this on my own because I wanted to be of some help to the West. So please, there is no need to keep the girl’s arbitrary sacrifice in her heart.”
“… “You’re doing something funny.”
It was a memory that made me feel sick just thinking about it at the time, and even now, when I think about it, I can’t help but feel a pang in my heart.
Memories of the time when I threw everything I had at my disposal to subdue the demon named Imae Mang-ryang, who had reached the absolute state of being only the highest level of superhuman, and as a result, I even threw away the fate that I should never have thrown away.
“You… , I think I will forgive you for sacrificing in this way… ?! Do you think I will remember you? … !”
“This… ? After all, you are the West. No matter how hard I tried, the girl in the West’s heart would not melt. I tried to imprint the girl in the West’s heart by dying with such an impactful death, but I can’t believe you immediately realized the girl’s plan.”
I don’t want to forget… , But at the same time I want to forget… , Yet even amidst such contradictory memories that he could not forget, Eugene had no choice but to observe the memories from a third-person perspective, dwelling on himself as he was when he was on Earth.
“If you notice, there’s nothing you can do about it. “Please forget about this foolish snow woman who barged into your life as you please, and you can find your own happiness.”
“You… , What the hell are you… ! What on earth is it that from then on, you always barge in at will? … !”
A woman who looks up at Eugene in her arms with a completely different look from Stral, with her calm smile despite her own impending death.
The girl who didn’t even have her own last name, but took Yujin’s last name as she pleased, calling herself Yuki Setsushiro, just smiled and spoke despite the sense that she was slowly disappearing.
“That’s because it was a girl, a sprite born from such a tale. “All you have to do is to think that out of luck, you were bitten by the demon you hated so much, just like her dog.”
Seolnyeo continues to jokingly say that, unfortunately, the world of beauty ultimately failed because Seobang was a very proud person.
“Why on earth… , What good is a crazy person like me…”
“Oh my, that is a story that cannot be ignored. Girl, no matter how dying she is, she will save her father… “I can’t get over the insults of the man I love.”
While talking like that, the snow woman spoke while forcibly moving her pitch-black arm, which was not moving properly and barely maintaining its shape, and caressed her cheek.
“Sir, you were a man worthy of a girl falling in love with her at first sight. Girl, I am truly grateful for the fate that allowed me to meet you.”
So, as she was telling him to please keep his self-deprecating words out of her mouth, she soon let go of her hand that was stroking Eugene’s cheek. And…
Let’s go… !
“Oh…”
… Even though she just dropped it, the snow girl’s arm turns into ashes and disappears. When Seolnyeo calmly let out her voice as if she was surprised, Yujin was taken aback and raised her voice.
“Hey… ?!”
“Hehe, it looks like the girl’s condition is worse than she thought. Well, the body was already destined for death from the start. “It would be natural not to allow even the slightest movement.”
In addition to the arm that was already gone, the remaining arm was reduced to ashes and scattered. And soon, the snow woman calmly accepts her own death even though her entire body, starting with her legs, is turning into ashes and disappearing.
“But this is unfortunate. Girl… , As I was meeting my end in the arms of the West in such a romantic way, I wanted to die feeling the Lord’s skin… , It’s not even functioning properly as it did before the arm disappeared.”
As she says that, she talks to Eugene in a slightly frightened voice, different from her somewhat cheerful voice so far.
“West… , Sir, are you with the girl now?”
“There is… , There is… !”
And Eugene, who feels like if he were to embrace the disappearing snow woman with his strength, she would disappear just like that, so he carefully holds her in his arms and returns her answer.
“I can’t hear very well… But I understand why. The Lord is by the girl’s side. “I think that alone, girl, will leave you feeling truly satisfied.”
“Do not be ridiculous… ! After approaching me arbitrarily… , Why are you going to leave on your own now? … !”
“I can’t hear you… , I can’t even feel it, girl, but for some reason, I feel like I know what you’re saying…”
She didn’t know whether she should cry, be upset, or even feel relieved that the stalker was gone, so she looked up at Eugene, whose face was distorted, and spoke.
… Even though her eyeballs had disappeared a long time ago and she couldn’t even see his face properly, she looked directly at Eugene’s face and opened her mouth.
“Girl… “I know it’s a selfish thing to say, but I was happy to be able to intervene in your life as you please.”
“Stop… !”
“If I have any regrets, it would be that in the end, the girl was unable to completely melt the Lord’s heart. Still, it seems like there was only one difference…”
“Why… !”
“I feel fortunate, girl, that I got to leave first.”
“What am I glad about… !”
“Still, the girl has melted your heart to some extent, and since you have also achieved the revenge you wanted, please, as you said to the girl that day, please hold on to your happiness and live.”
“What is happiness… !”
“The West said that, right? Revenge is necessary to settle the past and move on to the future. So, if you are now Seo-bang, who has put an end to the past, you will definitely be happy without the girl.”
“Please don’t say any more than that…” … !”
“Yes, you will be happy. This girl will vouch for it. “Because you are a man who deserves it.”
“Aaaaahhh… !!!!!!!!!!”
