Chapter 173 – The Last Battle (5)
The stomach tightens as if the intestines are twisted.
My heart is heavy as if I had been hit by the stomach.
A chill ran down his spine as if he were running.
Violently sends an alarm that the whole body is in danger.
The opponent is the opponent, so it has to be.
No matter how many times Einstein has crossed the line of death, the opponent is the devil himself, the line of death itself.
If you weren’t nervous.
Unless you feel the pressure.
That would obviously be an outrageous lie.
But I’m not afraid to die.
I just hate the fact that I can’t see you.
Still have to deal with it.
It wasn’t because of his duty as a warrior.
It wasn’t even revenge for his dead sister.
To move forward.
For an uncertain future.
Will fight
Aria.
In order for you to smile from now on, the demon lord will kill you.
The moon god’s healer.
The sun god’s treatment.
Because it is indispensable
The author is an ordeal.
The one who blocks the future
So it’s only natural to cut it off.
Because that’s your Einstein.
Because that’s the man you love
“Whoa.”
Catch your breath
The guy is coming.
A demonic sword that strikes from top to bottom.
It is a monotonous movement.
However, monotony does not necessarily imply a bad meaning.
Straight down.
It is efficient as it is a movement minus this and that, and the speed to reach the target point is also fast.
What could be a better blow than hitting at a speed that can’t be matched?
A speed that could not be matched by the original.
That far-off speed that would be hurried even to respond.
Hero, Einstein caught up only now.
Kaaaaang!
The sword he created collided with the demon king’s sword.
It’s not as brutally broken or broken as before.
On the contrary, it overpowered the magic sword.
Of course.
The sword was the weaving of his own will, his soul.
It never breaks or bends lightly.
The two swords were antagonistic.
“It definitely got better.”
Warlike smile.
Was the demon king able to make such an expression?
Einstein blamed his idle thoughts.
‘Looks like I had enough time to think about these things.’
Stupid idea
Is it not enough to focus on the opponent?
Einstein’s eyes narrowed.
Caang!
Kwakang!
It’s not just fighting with swords.
The hero was using mana, and the demon king was using magic to hit the opponent.
The repercussions of that battle felt almost like giants fighting.
Opposition of strength and power.
The waves and waves quickly put an extreme load on the surroundings.
The walls are cracked, the marble floor is dented.
Little by little, a miserable landscape was created.
What.
He wasn’t a hero or a demon king or a person who cared about such trivial things.
In the first place, it was expected that the surroundings would be smashed as much as the enormous physical force erupted through the sword.
The surrounding landscape was distorted due to waves and waves that occurred again.
In that state, there is a demon lord who tries to aim for his wrist while entangling the swords he collided with.
The intention is obvious, but it’s ridiculous to be victimized.
I cut off the sticking sword.
Could it be because he gave it too much force?
The demon king’s arm goes up for a very short time.
Yes.
His chest was opened.
This moment.
This is not an Einstein who would quietly miss this opportunity.
I squeezed through that slight gap and stabbed his sword.
Quaang!
The blow of conversion went back to nothing.
Something black and smooth, like the scales of a black dragon, blocked Einstein’s sword.
He clicked his tongue inwardly.
Instinctively realized.
Come back
The Demon King’s Counterattack.
I’m sorry.
The demon king’s kicks were properly locked in.
Would this be the impact of bumping into a massive animal?
He felt a strange sense of floating.
How far does this body fly?
Oh, I see the ground
Einstein took a belated fall from the air.
Kudangtangtang!
“Keugh.”
Even while rolling on the floor, he drove his sword into the ground to slow down his speed.
I felt the muscles all over my body tearing.
Even though it was relatively less painful to roll, it was stuck on the marble floor.
It’s not a minor injury.
However, it will soon change to good condition.
I knew it in the middle of the day.
The fact that the wounds on his body are regenerating at an amazingly fast pace.
It is safe to say that it is a super-regeneration.
But.
There is no free power.
Isn’t that why I didn’t write it right away?
After writing this, he knows that he will not be able to live anymore.
A hero opens his eyes to a new power to protect his precious one?
How could such a poor story exist?
‘Still, I should have written it earlier.’
If it was written before Arya was killed.
The sacrifice would have ended with me alone.
Now, this was an act of burning his life.
It is to destroy the opponent by pouring everything into this short moment.
It is the same as betting on life as fuel and the lifeline of the body as stake.
Still, it’s breathtaking.
Barely reachable.
Can I reach you?
I ate and laughed.
When did you tailor something like that?
Because he is the opponent he has to fight, isn’t he the one who fought?
Did not always avoid
We fought in the time to predict the odds of victory.
‘They say that a person who has something to protect becomes stronger.’
I guess I have too many thoughts.
Whoops, whoops.
He calms down his rough breathing.
‘Isn’t it like me?’
If Arya had seen it, what would she have said?
I don’t know.
First of all, she’ll have to think about saving her.
Einstein asked the demon king while wiping the blood flowing from his forehead with his right hand.
“What was that?”
At the crucial moment, the sword was blocked by something black.
If it hadn’t been for that, it would have inflicted fatal or, at least, serious injuries.
“It is the body of wine.”
“What?”
“Human beings are fundamentally non-living creatures. So I had to play around with my body. It is safe to say that it is the body of the main body.”
Are those black scales your body?
What did you mix with, this demon lord?
“Are you even a dragon, you bastard?”
His blood-red eyes fanned out.
“It does take that form.”
Are you a demon king or demon dragon?
He’s just a nuisance.
The Demon King brushed the dust off his shoulder and continued.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever competed with me on equal footing like this, except for invitations.”
“Therefore?”
“A hero in this generation, no. I wonder how far you can take me.”
“I would have said I would knock you down.”
It was an arrogant and disrespectful remark that the Demon King felt.
The number of years lived is wrong.
The accumulated combat experience is incomparable.
The magic that has been accumulated over many years is very vast.
Knock yourself down like that?
It is the recklessness of humans who can only live for a moment, and it is a vain hope.
The demon king knows.
I know.
In a true sense, the writers called ‘Hero’ always make me look forward to it.
I wondered if something would make an exception.
The invitation was
Einstein was like that.
The Demon King smiled happily.
“Indeed, it’s at a level that will arouse the love of Gwain.”
“What is funny?”
The Demon King did not answer that question.
I just moved the magic sword.
He felt that it was quite a distance, but was it a range for the demon lord?
A blow that ignores the sense of distance rushes to Einstein.
Einstein managed to parry the blow.
Its strength was considerable, but not to the extent that it could not withstand it like before.
“Do you think you can’t call that me?”
This time, in reverse, Einstein’s swordsmanship was directed at the demon lord.
How many times have you seen it and copied it?
It’s good to do tricks, the Demon King thought.
Kwaaang!
After accepting the sword attack, the demon king took a few steps back.
It was the first time he had been pushed out of a battle with a hero.
Momentary silence.
It was the Demon King who broke the silence.
“This is an answer to the question you asked earlier, but I think it is a classic characteristic of a hero that power is displayed only when driven into a corner.”
“That’s a characteristic that applies to any human being, not just a hero.”
“It’s not like that. So, what does Gwain want to convey?”
The demon king’s words were not finished.
Einstein moved like an arrow.
He wasn’t just watching either.
Caang!
Kang!
I have already divided dozens and hundreds of swords.
We’ve gotten used to each other now.
White aura and black aura.
Forces that do not mesh with each other and explode.
Power continues to spread like a rolling wave.
The warrior’s sword is once again blocked by the demon king’s sword.
Einstein didn’t stop there and kicked, but the demon king defended it with black energy.
Like the shell of an egg, even the thin, thinly spread protective barrier and its strength did not resemble an egg.
Hard and sturdy
So what?
Rather, it is easy to break if it is hard.
Einstein raises his legs again and rotates his body.
A kick with a contraction.
This time, the shield could not withstand the load of that force and broke.
But that’s not the end.
The black scales that blocked the stab earlier appeared.
Will this attack be blocked?
No.
Absolutely not.
Wow!
The first blow to the demon king was a reckless kick.
It was by no means a light attack.
With the sound of drums exploding, the Demon King flew away.
It was a blow, not a stab or slash.
That’s why even those strong scales can’t completely block the impact.
This opened the way to Aria, no, the god of the sun, albeit for a short time.
There is no hindrance to going to the god of the sun, which the demon king was protecting.
Einstein was quick and agile.
He came close to the face of the sun god at once.
The sun god with a carefree face looks up at Einstein.
-What?
“Give me an aria.”
The sun god shook his head from side to side.
Then, with Arya’s thin index finger, she pointed at the demon king whom Einstein had removed.
-It’s not over yet, hero.
Whoa!
Aaaaagh!
The blade of the Magi that flew in at once narrowed the distance and blew Einstein away.
The demon king brushed his disheveled bangs and continued.
“To continue what I said earlier, I would like to acknowledge you as a hero.”
Demonic energy rises from the whole body of the demon king.
The pressure that used to be tingling is now tingling.
Einstein coughed up his cough and then replied with a disgusted look.
“… Hey, thank you for admitting it.”
* * *
The slowly falling red sunset indicates that it is not long before the ground turns black.
In one hand, he is holding on to his mother’s errands.
It’s a troublesome errand, but it’s still her mother’s word, so how can she refuse it?
Is it the food her mother cooked for her?
To be honest, my mother is not good at cooking.
If you look at the odds, it’s exactly half and half.
Sometimes you do well, sometimes you don’t.
If there are days when something good to eat comes out, there are also days when soup comes out with a salty, bitter taste.
That’s why I hate it so much.
… I hate it.
I stopped.
Why?
What I miss is the feeling
-Aria!
Oh
Again
Hear it again
This hallucination.
Even if you don’t want to hear it, you keep hearing it.
How many times, how many times.
I covered my ears.
Then I thought.
Who is Arya?
Is she that precious?
But why are you talking to me like that?
– Wake up, Aria! Please!
Echoing voice.
I wish someone would turn that voice off.
I have to go home
There are father and mother at home.
Ordinary daily life.
A life in which the family continues.
There is something I longed for so desperately.
Why do you keep calling me?
I hate to go
I mean, it’s all here.
Entire.
Everything.
– Life was so bad. Is not it?
A familiar voice was heard.
Ah.
“… You.”
-Still, I lived hard, in my own way.
Memories flow in.
The day my parents died.
Since then, I’ve been living alone.
I was lonely and lonely.
– Nothing was easy even after coming here, right?
I’m in pain, I’m suffocating, I think I’d rather die.
I couldn’t stand it, so I created a personality and ran away, the real me.
The real me who created myself and was confined to a comfortable place by myself.
“… You are me.”
The landscape changes whether my words have become the starting point.
The scenery of the setting sun is as if it were a dream of a midsummer day.
What appeared was a black, black landscape like the vast universe.
There are XXX and Aria.
There were two and one.
-Am I satisfied here?
Satisfied.
Because it’s not painful here.
Because it’s not sad
Have a mother
I have a father.
I know how precious that perfect scenery is.
I know because I was the one who disappeared.
So said.
“No, I am not satisfied.”
-Right?
“Yes.”
Because it’s so sweet.
It’s so sweet that it rots your teeth.
I felt like my heart was being stabbed.
– Rather, I should go back to that person. I’m calling you like that
XXX is.
No.
Sihyun Lee shows Einstein.
As you said, he is calling me.
Passionately and affectionately.
“That’s right. Because it took too long.”
-If you knew, don’t wander in a place like this anymore. Because there is no next
You, no, I disappear.
I see myself like that
“Thanks.”
-Are there fools who thank themselves?
“Still.”
– Go ahead.
Like a tree in bloom.
Like the foam of waves crashing white.
Like a rainbow that appears and then disappears after rain.
You show me the way and disappear
Fleetingly.
I know I can’t reach you, but I reach out to you.
You grin
And it’s gone.
Yes.
I am coming.
Einstein.
