I Became A Thief Who Steals Overpowered Skills Chapter 154

[EP.154] A loner next to a loner

A sudden flood occurred due to the pouring acid rain.

With no time to respond, the flood rose and swept away everything in an instant.

And to protect everyone, the wizard Mu Zhikang burned his magic and blocked it in the lake.

In return, Mu Zhikang lost all his strength and died.

It was the reward for pouring everything into it.

There was no regret on his face.

Regret was the responsibility of those who remained.

“This idiot, this idiot… … .」

In particular, Rouge had a very difficult time.

「… … “You can’t take the body.”

Just before Mu Zhikang died, he gave up everything he could in subspace.

Now there was no wizard to take care of my luggage.

We must each carry our own burden and move forward.

Moreover, he could no longer enjoy magical protection.

“I’ll take care of it myself.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Luzlang, who shed tears, shook his head when he heard Ebelask say that he would take the corpse away.

“Your heart and your strength are not infinite. “This is enough.”

Rougerang covered his stomach.

Seeing that, Ebelask knew what it meant.

In acid rain.

Mu Zhikang, with his face without regret, disappeared like that.

The three people’s journey continued.

And not long after that, a second victim appeared.

The second victim was Lu Jerang.

Although she showed the best skills as a one-armed swordsman, being a one-armed sword was the end for her.

This was because the venom poured out by the monsters that came rushing towards him hit his empty arm and hit his heart.

“Rouge, no! no!”

Ebelask screamed and poured all the medicine he had brought to save her.

Her life was fading away at a rapid pace.

“Ahaha, Muzukang, she couldn’t even do a single thing that Seok connected.”

Rouge Lang, who was coughing up blood, slowly closed his eyes with a very sad face.

“At least it would have been okay if I was alone.”

That was the end for Rouge, covering her stomach and feeling deep regret.

Of course, we couldn’t take her body with us either.

This was because Ebelask’s mana was now reaching its limit.

「… … egg plant.”

In the end, Iron Lion and Ebelask continued their journey with only the two of them left.

The conversation between the two began to diminish.

Sensing this, Cheolsaja slowly continued telling his daughter’s story as if he was talking to himself.

Ebelask could no longer open his lips except to listen to the story in silence.

Then that day.

As usual, the ground beneath the feet of Ebelask, who had previously been identified as a corpse, collapsed.

Unfortunately, underground acidic water rushed into the lower part of the ground and instantly melted it, causing the ground above to collapse as well.

Ah, this is how I die.

That’s what Ebelask thought as he looked at the receding sky.

I wanted to see Aimi again.

Her heart had broken long ago and her body was exhausted, and she closed her eyes with such regret.

The moment when you are in danger of falling into an acid lake in an instant.

It was a wire lion that caught her.

Soon her body floated up.

When Ebelask, who was lifted up in an instant, opened his eyes wide.

Before she knew it, she was rolling around on the ground.

After lying around for a while, she raised her head and giggled.

And all I could see was an empty ground.

「… … Mr. Iron Lion?”

Ebelask called to him.

But he was nowhere to be seen.

Ebelask’s face turned pale.

At the same time, when she hurried to the place where she had fallen, all she could see was strong flowing acidic groundwater.

That last moment.

The iron lion threw himself, caught Ebelask, and fell into the acidic lake.

“Ahhh.”

She was deeply devastated by the situation that arose because of her mistake.

He came all the way to earth to save his daughter.

But even though he couldn’t prioritize his daughter, did he prioritize himself?

Ebelask also knew.

The fact that Cheolsaja unconsciously regards her as his daughter.

Since she was the same age as his daughter, such behavior often occurred.

There was always a mixture of sorrow and sadness in the eyes of the iron lion that looked at him.

And at the last moment, Cheolsaja chose to save her.

Ebelask stood up.

With her skin and legs melted from exposure to acid rain, she began to move forward again.

The wire lion saved his life.

Then he had to achieve what he set out to do.

His one and only goal.

Saving my daughter.

And Benapozzi’s goal.

Saving the city.

True to her name, Hope, she did not give up hope and kept moving forward.

It was hard.

The world moving toward destruction kept tying Ebelask’s ankles, and her body became more and more a mess as time went by.

“Cough, cough.”

And the body eventually reached its breaking point.

Death is just around the corner.

But she couldn’t die.

Because everyone sacrificed themselves to get here.

So she decided to become a corpse herself.

“Aaaah!”

With a scream, she removed the heart and cast a necromancer spell.

As a result, although she was human, she became a monster rather than a human.

Clutching her bleeding heart, she began to move her lifeless body.

The body that was far from death could now continue to move forward without stopping.

“Soon, soon.”

The signal continued to get stronger.

Therefore, she did her best and kept moving forward.

and.

And at the end.

Finally, her journey came to an end.

Fighting-

She slowly lifted the magic signal that had been lost in the sand.

The acid rain had clearly stopped there.

As expected from the location where the previous investigation team risked their lives to find out, there was definitely no acid rain.

But it was not a place where people could live.

There really is just no acid rain.

This was because the sun shining without acid rain melted and erased everything.

Ebelask felt warm as he looked at the sun he had seen on the first day.

However, not only the ozone layer but also the atmosphere itself was destroyed, making it impossible for humans to survive in front of the sun shining in a straight line.

The investigation team saw an empty sky without dark clouds and thought the earth had recovered.

The reality was this.

There were no bodies from the first investigation team.

All their food was gone, and they had no way to return to the acid rain storm and magic field.

So they eventually melted under this sun and turned into sand.

The remaining mana in the rescue request magic signal containing their remaining will was barely maintaining the protective magic.

“It’s too much.”

Ebelask began to cry out in a cracked voice.

It was a place that four people and I had risked our lives to reach.

Someone’s daughter.

Someone is a friend.

Someone wants to be hope.

Some people want to find paradise.

We have come this far.

But the result is this.

Ebelask fell into an unbearable, terrible feeling.

It seemed like all their efforts had been in vain.

Shootaaaaa-

Coogung!

And as if signaling the end for her, an acid rain storm began approaching on the way back.

When she looked at it, she smiled as if she had been liberated.

Then I started walking absentmindedly under the sun, which I believed to be paradise.

I just hope that there is a bit of paradise here.

In the midst of destruction, she walked aimlessly.

By the time I had put all my mana into protection and used up everything without any leftover mana.

She eventually collapsed.

The beating sun began to melt her body.

But she no longer had the strength to fight back.

I just thought that I should have done this a long time ago.

Now he wants to see his colleagues again.

He said he would see his friend Aimi again.

It was when she closed her eyes for the last time.

The sand she was lying on suddenly disappeared with a puff.

And when her helpless body was sucked into the extinguished sand.

She opened her eyes again.

Cold water touched my head.

When she came to her senses, what she saw was a lake and a forest.

That moment when I blankly saw a scene I had only seen in books.

She remembered the word paradise.

“every!”

That was when Ebelask hurriedly lifted himself up.

But there was the same forest there.

She walked absentmindedly.

does not exist.

Neither the sun nor the acid rain that had been shining so fiercely was anywhere.

And his colleagues and the world were no more.

Even though she had found paradise, she now had nothing.

The moment that reality dawned on her again, she felt the bitter cold of loneliness seep into her.

cold.

It is so cold that the inside of the body rots.

The feeling of being left alone in the world began to gnaw at her in an instant.

“Oh, no. no! Because I have me! Because I’m a necromancer!”

And soon I started denying reality myself.

He is a necromancer.

It deals with corpses.

The necromancer’s ultimate goal is to resurrect even the dead and make them indistinguishable from the living.

If you get there, you can once again join your companions in paradise.

In the paradise they had longed for.

She clenched her fists, denying the reality that there was not even a handful of corpses that could be brought back to life.

Ebelask Benapoch.

The world’s only necromancer thus became the world eroder.

And the world eroder was now facing a boy in front of him.

“Ebelask Benapoch.”

The boy was looking straight at him with blue eyes.

“How long are you going to live in denial about reality?”

Krasch’s remarks penetrated deep into Ebelask’s heart.

Her hair trembled.

know.

She also lived in denial of reality for a long time.

So, not wanting to face that reality, she locked herself in her room even more alone.

“What do you know, what do you know?”

Thick teardrops fell from Ebelask’s eyes.

It has been such a difficult journey.

Still, she wanted to go back on that journey again.

There was no time in her life when she was able to move forward as much as she did then.

Here, you are the encroacher.

Just a stranger.

“know.”

Crashu looked at Ebelask with a smile.

That’s right, I’ve heard it so many times that it’s cringeworthy.

Because she was locked in prison alone, she talked about her past every day.

Although Krashu could not understand Ebelask’s feelings at the time.

I know that too now.

Despite the deaths of people I knew, I stubbornly held on and held on again.

In the end, the day we failed to prevent destruction.

Because Crashu was in such deep despair that it was so cruel.

The price of carrying everyone’s hopes inevitably weighs heavily on people’s shoulders.

“The guys I was with are no longer in this world.”

Although they are clearly the same person, the people in Krasch’s memories no longer exist.

Because they can no longer return from the destroyed world.

Just as Ebelask could not save a single one of his comrades.

Krasch also failed to save a single one of his colleagues at that time.

All that remains are memories.

“Still, I live. “Because they saved my life and brought me here.”

So as not to repeat the same mistake again.

Krasch was living today with all his heart.

Because I thought that was the only repayment I could give to those guys.

“And that goes for you too. “You’ve lived until now without being able to let go of your goal.”

Crasch took a step forward.

Then Ebelask’s body trembled.

“It’s scary. “Being left alone.”

Loneliness is terrible.

The loneliness of having no one remember the world you once knew is indescribable.

So Ebelask denied reality.

If I didn’t do that, I felt like I would be alone forever in this world.

“So you’re hiding it? “I’m afraid that even if I leave something in this world again, I’ll lose it all again.”

Ebelask’s eyes wavered.

Snow began to fall little by little from the sky.

And between those eyes, Krasch’s eyes shone blue.

Ebelask’s lips trembled in the falling snow.

“Ebelask.”

Crashu spoke to Ebelask, who was suddenly filled with tears and unable to say a word.

“Let’s make a deal like we did back then.”

Ebelask’s time and Krashu’s beginnings will definitely be different.

“Crash, let’s make just one deal.”

She asked Krasch that much while in prison after the death of the Black Witch.

“I’ll tell you a secret that the Epanian Imperial Palace has been hiding.”

With a smile on her face, she put everything aside and leaned her head against the iron cage.

“Break my heart that Arthur holds.”

At that time, Krasch clearly received death from her.

“I will inherit Crimson Garden’s immortality.”

But now he was talking about a completely different deal than then.

Ebelask’s eyes opened wide.

Ebelask is immortal in a different sense than Crimson Garden.

But she could have died by breaking her heart if she wanted to.

He just tries not to die for the sake of his old colleagues who saved him.

She was immortal for half a penny.

But Crimson Garden is different.

Because she was immortal in the truest sense.

And so did Krasch, who would take over.

“Even if you crumble to nothing, I will continue to live in this world.”

Everyone who had been by her until now had crumbled to nothing.

Because none of her colleagues, friends, or the world were left.

She was afraid of that loneliness and clung to resurrection as if escaping from reality.

Even now she is afraid.

I am so afraid of the person close to me leaving and the loneliness that will come.

In her solitude.

Before I knew it, the black loneliness had been overshadowed by the boy who had stepped in.

Krashu’s hand wrapped around Ebelask’s head.

Thanks to the use of Destruction and Erosion, the warmth in her hands flowed through her head and into her.

Ebelask raised his head.

The boy, reflected in her tearful eyes, smiled innocently.

“If you’re lonely, just stick by my side. “I’ll just make you sick of it.”

Tears rolled down Ebelask’s trembling eyes and down his cheeks.

Ebelask will inherit the loneliness he has been experiencing.

Stealing anything cursed was his specialty.

“So help me.”

Krashu pointed to the other side of the mountain.

“Isn’t it okay if we try to save this world together?”

On top of a snowy mountain where cow clothes are piled up.

Two people who experienced a destroyed world and lost everything.

It was the moment when those two people met in the present world.
