Chapter 600 – Side Story 103) the Chaser(2)
103) The Chaser (2)
Whoo oh oh oh-!
The wind suddenly began to blow against the clear, cloudless sky. The wind blew from one place and did not spread to another place.
Damn it-!
Then, as if someone split bread in half, the air was torn.
“Huh-cha!”
– Beep! Beep!
Someone jumped out of the torn air. He was a man dressed in a black suit. On his shoulder sat a baby bird, small enough to hold with one hand.
“Let’s see… Where is this?”
The man looked around. Mountains and fields were wide open, and a rabbit grazing leisurely looked at the man with the eyes of ‘what is that kid doing?’.
No matter how much I looked around, there was no sign of civilization. Then the man’s face contorted.
“Sir, can’t you… I’ve been in a black hole that long? Enough that the Dark City disappears?!”
Cried the frightened man.
“Yuna! The sirens… Are by my side! Anyways guys! I, I’m back and I can’t see you guys anymore… This is unbelievable! This is a nightmare! Aaaaa! Why so serious? I’m so siri earth!”
Calling the names of the people he loved, the man despaired. He grabbed his head and burst into tears.
At the moment when the end of the world came, the man willingly sacrificed his life to save the world.
He went into a black hole with Cthulhu, a transcendent being who came with despair, and fought a bloody battle.
In fact, he did not risk his life for the great cause of saving the world.
He just wanted to protect the people he loved. I could throw everything away if I could save a tomorrow for them to live.
The man eventually succeeded in defeating Cthulhu and was able to return to the world where his loved ones await.
But he took too long to come back.
Swept away by the weather of the years, the brilliant civilization built by humans has disappeared. And with civilization, loved ones also disappeared.
The fact was so devastating and terrible that the man could not stand it.
“Ah … How to live a world without you … This is … Hell …”
If Cthulhu had come now, he would have achieved his goal without much effort. Despair makes Cthulhu stronger. The despair the man felt now was enough to make Cthulhu the strongest being in the world.
“Aaaaa…”
The man wanted to die.
But he didn’t kill himself.
– Beep! Beep!
Everyone has disappeared, but only one person he loves remains.
Sirens.
A monster and a man’s lover at the same time, she was absorbed by Cthulhu while helping the man when Cthulhu appeared in the past. It was a situation where the soul itself could be destroyed, but the man finally defeated Cthulhu and revived the Siren who had sacrificed his life for him.
It took a lot of strength to revive the Siren, but it was okay. Rather, even if more power was needed, or even if he had to sacrifice himself, the man would have revived the Siren.
As much as that, the man wanted to protect the one he loved at all costs.
– Beep! Beep! (Master! Master!)
“… Yes Irene.”
At that time, the siren, who flew away for a while, returned and called the man in despair. And she pointed to one side with her short wings.
-Beep! (That way!)
“… What do you mean over there?”
– Beep! Beep! (Oh my! Don’t cry and come this way!)
“…Yes. Let’s go.”
The siren hurried the man and, having left most of her loved ones, he struggled to get up and walk in the direction the cute little bird was pointing.
“…?”
Then tall buildings caught his eye.
The layout of familiar buildings, the energy of loved ones felt in the city.
Yes!
In fact, the man came back from the black hole shortly thereafter! The weather of the years is a piece of shit!
“… Deheh!”
Realizing that he had made a big mistake, the man made a funny face and banged his head.
The guardian of the Dark City, the Dark Knight, has returned.
*****
“Phew… I thought it was a joke.”
Seeing the intact Dark City and the people busily roaming the streets as if nothing had happened, I thought that I had returned to where I belonged.
– Beep! Beep! (She cried! She cried!)
“…Don’t do that, Irene. If you keep teasing your brother like that, will he grab your wings and make your womb explode?”
– Beep! Beep! (Like! Please!)
“Ghmm… They say they like this.”
Seeing the cutely crying siren, she let out a sigh. But it’s cute, so watch it.
“Anyway, I have to do something quickly and go back to the kids.”
In my heart, I wanted to go back to the people I love right away, but there was something I had to do before that.
The final villain Cthulhu, who absorbed me and tried to put an end to the world, died by my hand. But just because he died didn’t mean everything was over.
“I’ve been looking for it, Shadow Chinta Shack.”
The Shadow Killer, no, the White Killer, who was a major contributor to Cthulhu’s descent into this world, had to be dealt with.
The guy who stole the body of the S-class hero White Knight was too dangerous. He is a cruel guy who took the lives of countless people to the extent that no one knows even when he was a shadow killer.
That guy took the White Knight’s body and evolved into the White Killer. If it weren’t for me, I’d become so strong that no hero could catch him.
“Damn you bastard.”
Crucially, I had a reason to dispose of him.
Mikhail Lignes.
He was one of the S-class heroes representing the Hero Association, and he was the first friend I opened up to in this world.
He killed his family, turned Mikhail into a vengeful demon, and finally took his life.
That bastard was an enemy I hated and wanted to kill more than Cthulhu.
“You did well to keep him locked up. Otherwise he’d be in real trouble.”
Before fighting Cthulhu in earnest, I shredded and froze his body. And he locked him in a huge vault so he couldn’t escape.
Now, if you go to the safe and deal with him completely, my revenge will be over. Then you can pour alcohol on Mikhail’s grave.
“I think it was here?”
Tracing my memory, I went to the building where the White Killer was imprisoned. After entering the building, I headed downstairs to the safe.
Haha… Haha!”
And what I saw there was an empty safe.
The White Killer, this bastard, finally ran away.
*****
“… What about this?”
I muttered as I looked at the empty safe. If I kill the White Killer, I can go back to the arms of my family who are waiting for me.
But when he ran away, my plans were disrupted.
“The alter ego is… Written… I haven’t made it yet.”
I clicked my tongue when I confirmed the power of chaos dwelling in my body. I couldn’t use any psychic abilities except [Body Enhancer (Lv. 10)], Which can be said to be my basic psychic power.
Currently, Cthulhu existed in my body.
He was born in the concept of despair, and in order to completely annihilate such a being, I had to eventually absorb it.
But Cthulhu, who plunged into the abyss of countless despair, was too strong. In order to completely absorb him, not a single chaotic power could be consumed elsewhere.
“…”
If he could summon his alter ego, there was no need to worry. Send the alter ego to the side of the family and chase the white killer with the main body.
But now that was impossible.
Are you leaving to avenge your friend or return to the arms of your family?
After thinking for a while, I made a decision.
“… Wait a little longer, wait a little longer.”
In the end, I decided to leave to avenge my friend.
The White Killer was too dangerous.
Since I tore the body apart, it will not be in a perfect state. However, if it recovers from its injuries and regains its original strength… Many people will die.
I’m sorry to my family, but I had to go after him.
“Let’s go siren.”
-Beep? (Does the family not see it?)
“… Yeah. Looking at your face, I feel like I won’t fall off because I’ll have lingering feelings. It’s okay because I know you’re safe. My girls… Are strong.”
It’s because I have superpowers, and my women weren’t superpowered anywhere. From S-class heroes to S-class villains, S-class elves, and even the daughter of the president of a large corporation.
My women had superpowers, money, and power. He had enough strength to protect himself even without me.
-Beep? (Then where are you going now?)
“First of all… We have to get out of the Dark City.
I am one with the birth of the world, the beginning of all life, if I have life, especially if I have superpowers, I can feel its existence without consuming the power of chaos.
The vigilant White Killer fled out of the Dark City altogether in preparation for my return. He gave up the base he had been active in for the rest of his life.
It was a disprove that the fear of me was so great… But from my point of view, it was such a fucking thing.
Because if the White Killer remained in the Dark City, he could deal with it today. Although he can only use body enhancer psychic powers, he is no match for me with Siren.
“Shall we go on an adventure alone for the first time in a while?”
– Beep! Beep! (Yes! Good!)
When the two of them went on an adventure together, the excited Siren flapped her short wings and was delighted.
“…”
Standing on the huge wall surrounding the Dark City, I looked back for a moment. The Sanctuary Saga caught my eye in the distance.
“… Gina.”
Through the window, I could see Gina sitting in her chair, reviewing her papers.
She was annoyed as she tousled her finely combed hair as if something was not going well. He sighed, got up from his seat, and approached the window.
“…”
Could it be a coincidence?
Gina looked in my direction.
I want to run right away and give her a tight hug. I wanted to say that I came back, that I came back to this world to see you. I want to whisper my love and hug her tightly.
“I’ll be right back.”
She turned her body, imprinting her longed-for face in her memory.
