Chapter 795 – 795. Ascension 1
“Shall we ascend to heaven soon?”
One day, quite a thousand years after the world fell.
I was like, ‘Should I eat kimchi stew for dinner?’ He said it in a tone of voice.
“Okay.”
Seunghee speaks calmly while picking up a piece of meat and eating it.
“Ah. Are we doing it now? I’m looking forward to it.”
Mina looks at me and speaks with a faint smile.
“Agree.”
Se-Ah answers indifferently as if it is no big deal.
“I thought it was about time.”
Anna still looks at me and speaks brightly.
“I thought I would do it when it was just 1,000 years old. It’s surprising, right?”
When Minhee spoke, everyone nodded.
“There’s nothing we can prepare, right?”
Haruka has a similar reaction to Anna. As expected, a bright expression.
“Well, the time was ripe.”
Aki mutters quietly.
So all the women agreed. As if I had been preparing for this day for a long time.
“Should we do it right away?”
“I eat everything.”
“Ah. Yes. Of course, I have to eat everything.”
The women all laughed at what Seunghee and I said.
Even though they have lived for over a thousand years, no one has had their emotions dry up or their personality has changed significantly.
It did change a little bit. Rather than saying that it has changed, it would be more appropriate to say that it has matured.
Are we great? Or are humans inherently great?
I once thought that too.
The human soul has the power to live forever, but in order to prevent that, it seems that it is taking on the penalty of the body.
There is nothing wrong with that hypothesis, at least so far.
It’s just a shame that I can’t be sure because there are only seven women and I haven’t seen a single counterexample to mental illness.
Looking at things like that, we are very lucky.
Because I was able to spend that long time without anyone experiencing any strange changes.
After eating, I and the seven women sat around the living room.
Time to talk about ascension in earnest.
Anyway, I’ve talked about ascension thousands of times in my life, so there’s nothing special to talk about.
Ascension is already set, so there is no need to do it separately.
As long as I use soul extraction on them, it will be over.
But the soul extraction is the problem.
At the end, soul extraction should be done in a fun and happy situation because you have to carry on with the emotions you have.
If you become a soul bead in a state of anger or disappointment with yourself… Ugh. That’s pretty terrible.
“So, if you all use shared skills and have sex with me while feeling seven times more…”
“Ha. Oppa, it’s starting again.”
Everyone laughs again at Se-Ah’s muttering.
Well, everyone deserves that kind of reaction. I’ve told this story thousands of times.
Of course… Although I was rejected time and time again.
“Brother, let’s stop talking about it now and do what we say.”
“Huh?”
“I prepared everything on my own. It was each of my own last days, so I guess I didn’t prepare even that much.”
“Oh. Really?”
“Anyway. Nothing changes. Nothing changes.”
While she was smiling slightly sheepishly, Aki cleared her throat with a hmm.
“Then can I do it first?”
Everyone nods and looks at Aki.
They had smiles on their faces just a moment ago.
But not now. The expression of seeing off someone leaves on a long journey.
Okay. This is goodbye. A colleague and friend who has lived together for a long time. And family.
Since I don’t know what will happen after this, this may be a time of eternal farewell.
“For so long… Thank you.”
There were no long words.
Aki hugs each of the women and exchanges her greetings.
They have obviously been preparing for this day for a long time, but it is inevitable that they will have complicated feelings when it is said to be their last.
Aki finished greeting everyone like that. She opens the gate.
“I’ll be back.”
Aki said he was coming. Goodbye is not a goodbye.
A greeting filled with the will to meet again.
The women, who understood what she meant, greeted her with their mouths together.
“Come back.”
Aki went through her gate, and I followed her.
Beyond the gate… It was a forest. But there is a familiar monument there.
Aki, who was looking through the gate, closes it and approaches the monument.
“The village has become a forest.”
This is Sendai. The place where there was a village that Aki guarded under the name of Sword Saint.
In the space of a thousand years, the village has already disappeared and turned into a forest.
If you look closely at first glance, you can barely see traces of a village among the beautiful trees.
However, even though the village became a forest, this monument remains.
A headstone made in memory of her friend. And an open space in front of it.
“Because time is time.”
Aki answers and caresses the tombstone.
Looking at how well it is maintained, it seems that Aki came here often and kept doing maintenance.
Well, this vacant lot is like that too. I think Aki mainly did his swordsmanship training here.
“I know this is a meaningful place, but… Wouldn’t it be so sad?”
Her thoughts about her friend may make her sad.
It’s really fun.
For a woman who has lived for a thousand years, having a friend who has been with her for several years may not really be a big deal.
It’s really an insignificant period of time compared to the life she lived.
But memories are not like that. Memories become clearer as you look back, and as you live, they grow in proportion to the time.
It’s not just Aki. It’s the same for me and everyone else.
Old memories and unforgettable memories have no choice but to become like that.
“It’s okay. I’ll be more energetic from now on.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s spar.”
I closed my eyes tightly at her words.
Nice. This sparring addict. Will it be like this until the end?
“Hey. How can I spar with the Sword Saint? I can’t be a match for him? Are you planning on ascending me instead of getting ascended?”
“Of course I’ll give you a handicap. You can use all the skills. I’ll only use the minimum skills. I’ll only attack enough so that you can somehow use status regression.”
She couldn’t believe her ears at the last word. That sounds like it could cut off a limb.
“Uh, okay. I understand. Let’s do it. Do it.”
It’s not like we haven’t sparred in the meantime… Aki would be able to control the speed and speed to that extent.
Because she is literally a swordsman. She is a woman who has wielded a sword for a thousand years.
Although the body itself has not become stronger because it continues to be reset to that of a 20-year-old body… All of those aspects are complemented with skills.
No… Even without that, it’s powerful.
Even if I trained without Aki knowing, it is incomparable.
“The stage is mainland Japan. Don’t run away too much. Then, let’s get started.”
The sparring started with Aki’s short words. No. Bloody struggle.
She didn’t use any attack skills at all. The only weapon she uses is the sword of light.
Although I also held the sword of light, I was thinking of various skill combinations in my head.
However… When I saw Aki, I thought I should spar purely with swordsmanship.
The two of us fought like that for almost an entire day.
My whole body was in shambles and I quickly used state regression every time, but Aki was still fine.
Is it a little dirty because of the dirt and dust that came after me?
It’s something I’m trying to do to satisfy her, but doing it makes her feel good too.
I want to give you a punch… Ah. But things don’t go as planned.
As expected, he is the strongest person on this Earth. If I fight like this head on, I can’t win no matter what I do.
“Ah. I lost. I lost. It won’t work.”
I shouted, removing the sword of light in her hand, and Aki lightly stood next to me after declaring surrender.
It looks somewhat lighter, but still looks a bit lacking.
“Just a little more.”
As expected, there is a strange feeling of regret in her words.
She probably knew that Aki would win, but deep down she still wanted to push herself to the limit.
“You can win with a sparring other than this.”
“Huh? Another couplet?”
When I walked up to Aki and looked at her thoughtfully, she finally noticed and looked dumbfounded.
I kiss her lips.
She’s no longer shy, but she looks a little shy just like she did when she first met.
The place where we are now was Tokyo a long time ago.
The surrounding area has already been devastated. Mangled trees, hollowed-out ground, traces of a building from long ago.
Meanwhile, I took off Aki’s clothes. I quickly become naked and lust after each other’s bodies.
This woman is more active than ever, perhaps because she just had a great time sparring and destroying the people around her.
After a sex session as intense as sparring, Aki, blushing in my arms, speaks.
“I think it will be enough now. Write it down. I think I can wait happily with my feelings now.”
I lightly kissed her forehead. And she speaks softly to her.
“Just resting a little.”
I don’t know what will happen, but I said so.
Aki and I are like that… I can say this because we all think this is not the end.
Then she laughed, and I wrote to her to extract her soul.
She disappeared without her light or coin. A soul bead held in my hand.
A soul seal was written on that very bead.
And when I went straight to the sanctuary door and checked, I saw Aki lying upright as if he was sleeping.
Fortunately, I’m wearing clothes. Well, it goes back to the state it was in when death immunity was applied.
It would have been a little embarrassing if I had gone naked.
When I returned to the Starcheva Mansion, Seunghee saw me and spoke with a surprised expression.
“Why did you come so quickly?”
“Huh?”
“I thought it would take longer. Didn’t you spar with Aki?”
“Oh. That’s right.”
“Hmm. You lost?”
“Hey. How can I beat him?”
“Well, that’s not your specialty. Anyway… Let’s go to Haruka now. I’ve already said hello.”
“Really? I understand.”
It may be a little cold, but… It can’t be helped.
I’ve already lived for over a thousand years, so I think I’m able to express my emotions well enough.
Actually, that was what I was most worried about. What should I do if my emotions dry up like a dry old tree?
But fortunately it wasn’t to that extent. It was stiff to some extent, but not hard enough.
“Haruka.”
“Did Aki go well?”
“Yes. It went well.”
“Hehe. Then it’s my turn.”
Of course, there are children who have maintained their natural virtue for over a thousand years.
Because not all people are the same.
“Let’s go.”
As expected, Haruka opens the gate. I can roughly guess where it will be.
The great nature of Hokkaido comes into view as you cross the gate.
The house where Haruka once lived in Hokkaido has long since disappeared.
A neat and neat house was built there. Next to it are now empty animal barns.
“Did you release them all?”
“Yes. I don’t know if I can live well. Actually, I don’t need to worry about that. Hehe.”
Then he holds my hand and goes into the house.
A place where everything else is organized, so there is only one table.
As expected, Haruka seems to want to show off some food to me for the last time.
When I pulled out her chair, she was slightly surprised by her unexpected appearance.
“Oh my. This is my first time receiving something like this.”
“Is that so? I was a really rude person too.”
“But don’t you think it would have been weird if I had done that? Oppa, sit down too.”
As we sat facing each other at the table, Haruka took out various things from the storage and set them up.
Well, this is not a place to discuss luxurious etiquette. Because we don’t really like that.
After taking out the easy-to-eat dishes, spoons, fork and chopsticks, Haruka immediately took out her food from the storage as well.
“Try it all. I’m glad I can taste this before I go.”
Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Western… It was not food that could be classified in that way.
To be precise, Haruka-style Seongcheol-sik?
Her own cooking based on a thousand years of research on my favorite foods.
It didn’t really matter what the ingredients were or how it was cooked.
The important thing is that the food she served in order was perfect and suited my taste perfectly.
Haruka looks happily at me eating so deliciously.
A brighter expression than ever.
Haruka continued to eat the food she served, and was in an extremely happy state of fullness and satisfaction.
Looking at that, Haruka likes pears more than me.
The last dessert came out, and I picked up a small fork and put it in my mouth.
A taste that combines sweetness and freshness. The ending is perfect too. As expected, he is a master cook.
“There’s still one more thing left to eat.”
“Really? Wasn’t this the end? I thought this was dessert.”
Haruka smiles. Then she stands up and takes off her clothes.
“Sleep.”
Seeing Haruka like that, I smiled without knowing.
This guy. Is it because you stay with Minhee? There has been a lot of increase in desirability.
“Is it natural that the most delicious food comes last?”
At the same time, I also stand up and approach Haruka.
Unwavering eyes looking at me. Then she slowly takes off my clothes.
“Now, eat me one last time, angel.”
Haruka takes my hand and leads me toward the bedroom.
We entered the room together and made love.
I lusted after her lips, her breasts, and her desirable body as if I was going to eat her.
“My brother ate it and my stomach got full.”
Now I know how to tell dirty jokes like that. Very desirable.
“Now… I’ll do it too. Aki will go first, so I won’t be lonely.”
“I’m not dying. The tone is a bit strange, isn’t it?”
“Is that so? Well, I did say something a little strange. Anyway, please do it.”
I kissed her forehead with a very happy expression and used soul extraction.
As expected, Haruka has lost things like lights and coins. A soul bead held in her hand.
Put the soul seal on the bead and go to the sanctuary door to check.
She is lying peacefully next to Aki. She looks like she’s sleeping peacefully.
I left those two behind and headed back to the Starcheva Mansion.
