Episode 234
It was only for a moment, but silence fell over the battlefield.
That moment of silence was soon drowned out by general shouts from either side.
“Waaaaaa!”
“The emperor is dead!”
“The enemy captain is dead!”
“I won! I won!”
Even without anyone telling them to, the American hunters let out shouts of joy, which soon spread to the prisoners in the prison castle as if contagious.
Hearing that shout, Sihyeon fell to the ground.
He stuck the blood-stained blade of Accuoruts into the ground and barely managed to support his body.
This was because his body, which was barely able to hold on with his mental strength, was released the moment he killed the emperor, causing exhaustion.
My ears were ringing and I felt dizzy.
Sihyeon lowered her head and took a deep breath.
“are you okay?”
I heard Hyris’ voice.
She reached out her hand and held Sihyeon’s body as if to support it.
“…It’s not over yet.”
Sihyeon muttered that and tried to get up again, but he couldn’t find the strength to do it properly.
Hyris looked at his staggering body with pitiful eyes.
“It’s over. This battle is our victory.”
As she said, it was as if the charter had already been decided.
The morale of the enemy army, which had lost its absolute central point of being the emperor, had plummeted to rock bottom.
On the contrary, the morale of our troops seemed to skyrocket.
The difference was decisive.
Our troops were already pushing back against their enemies in all corners of the battlefield.
“There are still… demons left.”
Sihyeon said out of breath.
“ah.”
Hearing those words, Hyris opened his eyes wide as if he had a new thought.
As I was focusing all my attention on the emperor, the most powerful enemy of my life, I forgot for a moment that reinforcements from the demon tribe were coming.
“…Anyway, don’t worry about yourself and get some rest. You’re in such a bad state right now….”
It was that moment.
I saw something approaching from the sky beyond.
It was clearly not a cloud.
“…You’re here.”
Hyris bit her red lips gently.
That something soon filled the sky.
They were flying monsters and demons.
It wasn’t just the sky.
Even on the ground, all kinds of monsters could be seen approaching, shaking the earth.
The demon reinforcements had arrived.
That number alone was enough to make one feel threatened.
The allies were once again overcome with despair.
At best, we had a perfect victory, but the enemy’s reinforcements arrived again.
And that too in huge numbers.
“Let’s fight until the end….”
Sihyeon stood up with difficulty, holding on to the Acurelust.
Even though his body looked like it was about to collapse at any moment, I could feel his determination.
He did not give up hope until the end.
The saint spoke clearly.
He said he would lead all the paladins and come here.
I had to hold on until then.
That was what he would do for Hiris, Rachel, and the guards and prisoners of the prison castle.
Hyris gazed at such a vision with a tearful gaze.
As expected, there was nothing wrong with my eyes.
This man is truly amazing and a great man.
More than anyone else in the world.
She barely held back her tears and kept a smile on her face.
“okay.”
Her hand gently stroked Sihyeon’s back.
It was right then.
Another strange thing happened on the battlefield, no, a miracle happened.
Immediately above the place where the great sage lost his life, an empty space suddenly opened.
It looked like a gate, but it would be more appropriate to say that it looked like a passage of light.
People dressed in neat silver armor were constantly running out of the passage.
I could tell at a glance that it was a paladin.
This is because the first man to come out majestically raised the flag depicting the goddess Iria.
The Holy Knights stood with both feet proudly on the ground of the battlefield with deliberate movements.

Sihyeon looked at the sight of thousands of paladins coming out with trembling eyes.
Finally, the moment the saint in the white robe came out, the eyes of Sihyeon and the saint slightly met.
The saintess bowed her head as if to express her gratitude.
‘… it’s okay.’
A smile appeared on Sihyeon’s lips.
It was a smile of relief.
What he could do, he did it perfectly.
Above all, he killed the emperor.
They also succeeded in holding out until the saint’s reinforcements arrived.
Now the remaining work could be left to the people behind us.
As I relaxed, the consciousness I was barely able to hold on to suddenly began to blur.
Feeling that the world was spinning, Sihyeon lost consciousness and fell down.
-Epilogue-
“Do you hate company dinners?”
“Oh, no.”
In response to the senior guard’s question, new guard Kang Seok answered with a dignified attitude.
Since it was a new product that was only 5 days old, I had no choice but to be cautious in my attitude.
“Then that’s a good thing. The manager gave me instructions to absolutely participate in today’s dinner party.”
“…Is that so?”
“Oh, the director is also participating.”
“Ah, yes… I see.”
Kang Seok’s voice wasn’t very good.
Of course, the senior guard did not notice because he tried hard to hide it.
Since I don’t have work this weekend, I made an appointment with my girlfriend for today, Friday evening.
I had high expectations, but it seems I was wrong.
I have no choice but to be dragged into a company dinner that I don’t want to attend.
◈ ◈ ◈
A toast was passed around.
I don’t know why they’re making me do something I don’t want to do.
The snacks were also poor.
Oh, is our correctional organization really that short of money?
Kang Seok complained to himself.
Of course, the ultimate reason was that I was dragged into an unwanted company dinner and the sweet time with my girlfriend was wasted.
“Hey, you. Look for your superiors and fill their cups one by one. I guess you don’t know much about social life?”
The chief sitting in front smiled and said.
What was said was correct.
Perhaps because this was his first job, Kang-seok was not good at things like this.
Kang-seok, who noticed the changing atmosphere, was about to get up and look for the seats where his superiors were sitting.
Suddenly, the door to the restaurant opened and a man who appeared to be middle-aged came in.
At first no one cared.
However, one of the chiefs who made eye contact with the man looked surprised and made a noise.
“Uh… huh?”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“What, Commissioner?!”
At that moment, the restaurant suddenly became as quiet as a library.
Everyone’s eyes were on the man.
and.
“Huh!”
Everyone stood up from their seats hesitantly.
The manager and director were no exception.
The director bowed and opened his mouth with a smile on his face.
“Oh my, oh my, Commissioner, what’s going on here….”
“I come here sometimes because it’s close to my house. As anyone from Ganghwa Island knows, the meat here tastes good.”
Commissioner Sihyeon answered with a wry smile.
It has already been 10 years since the Correctional Headquarters became independent as an external office.
Si-hyeon, who played a crucial role in the independence of the Foreign Office, also went through the shortest promotion course and became the new director three years ago.
Although he became a commissioner and started a family, Sihyeon’s house was still in Ganghwa Island.
I experienced a lot while I was in Ganghwa Island.
There were good things, but there were also many difficult moments.
However, the thought that it was an island that he risked his life to protect several times prevented him from leaving Ganghwa Island.
“Commissioner, did you come alone?”
“That’s right. My wife is passionate about my child’s early education.”
Sihyeon smiled as she thought of Hyris.
I married her and saw her son a few years ago.
Of course, he is a cute boy who won’t hurt if you put it in your eyes.
However, the son looked just like Sihyeon himself, not Hiris.
Not only the looks but also the hair.
Because of that, I wasn’t very quick at learning anything.
As a genius among geniuses, she seemed to feel somewhat frustrated and pitiful for her son.
That’s why these days, I’m devoting my heart and soul to teaching my son.
Fortunately, she didn’t seem to dislike me because she had the same tenacity as me, and since she liked being with her mother, I just left her alone.
“Haha, I see. You have to learn in advance to activate your brain. I think I heard something like that… Oh, look at my mind. Please sit down here, Commissioner.”
The director quickly suggested the head table.
Sihyeon smiled and declined.
“No. It’s embarrassing for an uninvited guest to suddenly join a dinner party. Don’t worry about me, just enjoy it.”
“Yes? But….”
“It’s really okay.”
Sihyeon declined once again.
The director no longer recommended it.
The director was not a man who could not read the mood, even though his superior declined twice.
It was then.
“Che, Che, Commissioner!”
Someone came up to Sihyeon and stuttered.
It was Kang Seok, the new prison guard.
Kang Seok looked very nervous, as if he was seeing a woman he had had a crush on for a long time.
He was holding a soju bottle and an empty glass in his hands, and his hands were also shaking.
“Please… could you please take a drink?”
Kang Seok said in a trembling voice.
Chiefs, managers, even directors.
The other guards looked at him as if they were seeing something strange.
It is also not polite to suddenly ask for a glass.
In addition, Kang-seok was a low-level prison guard who was now level 9, and Si-hyeon was a superintendent at the top.
He is such a heavenly superior that not even his shadow would dare step on it.
That’s not all.
He was also a hero who saved humanity in a war called the Great War of the Demon World.
“Look, you. That’s not polite to your superiors….”
The moment the director was about to say something.
“Joe, I respect you! I respect you so much that I decided to become a correctional officer! That and I became a correctional officer!”
Kang Seok spoke loudly as if he was confessing.
A smile appeared on Sihyeon’s lips when he heard those words.
“That’s it. Director, I’ll take a drink.”
When Kang Seok heard those words, his face lit up.
Even his trembling voice seemed to have calmed down a bit.
“thank you!”
Sihyeon asked as he accepted the glass.
“But what did you find admirable?”
“I… am from Ganghwa Island. If it weren’t for you, Commissioner, I wouldn’t be from this world already….”
“Well, I see.”
Sihyeon nodded with an expression of understanding.
“But it’s not just that. As I was preparing to become a correctional officer, I realized even more how amazing the director is. The director changed the perception of correctional officers and the perception of inmates. It’s really… truly amazing. The director….”
Kang Seok continued speaking with a passionate expression on his face.
“…He is truly a legendary prison guard.”
“He’s a legendary prison guard….”
Sihyeon’s face became filled with emotion.
I started as a low-level prison guard, gained strength, and from then on I ran like crazy.
Fortunately, it seems that the life he has lived has been meaningful in many ways.
That was enough.
“One correctional officer comes together to form a correctional organization. The role of each correctional officer is just as important. Please continue to work hard with responsibility and pride.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Si-hyeon smiled as she listened to Kang-seok’s powerful voice.
