◈ 147. [STAGE 5] Thunderbolt
15 years ago.
“You forgot your name?”
Jupiter looked down at the girl in front of him with bewildered eyes.
He was trying to figure out the personal information of the orphans he had taken. The girl, who suffered burns on her left half, could not remember her own name.
Was it because of the shock he received that day?
I couldn’t remember his name or even the past. I was worried that I might have amnesia because of what happened that day.
“You have to have a name, though. Then I won’t call you.”
While trying to smile, Jupiter crouched down in front of the girl, making eye contact with her. The girl silently faced her Jupiter.
“What should I call you?”
“… … .”
After hesitating for a moment, the girl raised her little finger and pointed at Jupiter.
Jupiter blinked his only eye and pointed at himself.
“me? no, my name?”
nod
“My name is Jupiter… … Do you want to have this name too?”
nod nod
Jupiter smiled in front of the girl who nodded fiercely.
“Good, good! My name is handed down from generation to generation, it can’t get any better!”
Jupiter gently caressed the girl’s hair.
“Then from today you are Jupiter Junior. Don’t call me Junior from now on.”
Nod.
In front of the girl who nodded in approval, Jupiter was suddenly puzzled.
“however… … Why did you say you wanted my name?”
Without answering, the girl laughed briskly.
It’s because I want to be like you, the girl didn’t say.
I want to become a great wizard like you.
And more than anything, I want to become a responsible adult like you.
He said he wanted to be like you, who did not run away even when he made a mistake, did not regret it even when he shouldered his sins, and lived his life steadfastly.
The girl didn’t speak.
I just inherited that person’s name and quietly followed.
***
today.
Quagmire and light!
Hundreds of blood bullets and lightning collided to create a thick explosion.
Jupiter’s thunderbolt with all his might evaporated most of the hundreds of blood bullets.
However, I couldn’t block it until the last few shots, and the blood bullets flew in as they were.
Jupiter did not escape.
Because there was a child who inherited his name right after him.
F*ck! pug… … !
Blood bullets pierced Jupiter’s body with a dull sound.
Even as he was hit and fell, Jupiter laughed.
Jupiter exclaimed cheerfully at Junior, who was looking at him with surprised eyes.
“Blow it away, Junior-!”
“… … !”
The back of Junior’s left hand shone white as he gritted his teeth.
And the magic is complete.
Flash!
Jupiter Jr.’s ultimate skill [Dismantle Element] was activated.
A halo like an angel’s ring floated above Selendion’s head and shone white, and a bright halo of light fell on the area.
Zeng-!
The next moment, a crack appeared in the air like a crack in a mirror.
Chaeng-Grang-!
Shattered.
At the same time, all magic elements around Selendion’s body were ‘dissolved’ at once.
“Oh my… … medical charge… … .》
Selendion let out a collapsed voice as he felt his magical energy dissipate.
“This me… … In the secret art I invented… … Being hit… … ?》
Now, Celendion could not budge.
Magic and skills cannot be used while [Dissolving Elements] continues, and the body is still attached to the silver stake.
A vampire whose blood magic and physical enhancement were both sealed… … .
It is only expelled by humans.
that buck that buck
Surviving humans gathered around Selendion one by one.
All of them were injured, but their eyes were fierce. Some were smirking.
“eww… … Gut!》
Celendion involuntarily swallowed his dry saliva.
There were times when they were expelled. There were times when he died. There was even a time when it was extinct.

But it was the first time he had been in such a helpless situation.
“ruler. I’m going to have to kill this bastard more than a hundred and fifty times from now on.”
Ash, standing in the middle, looked around at everyone and asked.
“Who wants to hit first?”
slap!
All party members raised their hands.
Ash shrugged.
“Well, this bastard has enough lives to share with everyone.”
As soon as those words were spoken, all humans raised their weapons.
Silver weapons soaked in blood gave off a hideous light.
Celendion’s complexion turned white.
“It is time to repay the life you have borrowed. S-arms are a customer. ”
Ash muttered gloomily as he swung the staff around in his hand.
“Give me back, my men’s lives.”
***
Jupiter was cradled in Junior’s arms, bleeding from the center of his chest.
Each of the places hit by the blood bullets was fatal, but the chest area was the most severe.
Blood bullets definitively destroyed Jupiter’s magic path, which had already been burned by the runaway magic.
Soon, the magic power remaining in the body will burn all the insides along Jupiter’s broken magic path.
Marherita hurriedly ran, but Jupiter waved her hand away. It was not an injury that would heal her.
Jupiter held Junior’s hand and muttered calmly.
“It’s okay, Junior. are you okay… … .”
“ah… … ah… … .”
Hugging Jupiter, Junior was devastated and didn’t know what to do.
Know. This is a fatal wound. It was an injury that he could not live with because he was a magician. Jupiter will die soon.
So – what should I say?
I didn’t know what language to speak. No, I didn’t know what to call this person.
– I never thought of her as my grandmother.
It was.
Junior had never thought of Jupiter as his grandmother.
This man has annihilated his village.
killed my mother-in-law
On half of his body, he had scars that could not be healed for the rest of his life.
He blocked his dream of becoming a wizard.
and-
I raised myself.
Ointment was applied to the burn.
They stood side by side and made dinner together.
I fell asleep while reading a storybook.
After digging through the burning village to save herself, she cried while holding her wounds.
So, because of that.
Junior had never thought of Jupiter as his grandmother.
The person I hated and hated but loved and wanted to be like,
Gathering up the courage, Junior called out.
“Mom… … .”
“… … .”
Jupiter looked up at Junior, who was crying, with round eyes.
“I… … what?”
“A mother is a mother, really… … .”
Junior, who wiped away his tears, asked cautiously.
“If you call me mother… … no?”
“… … .”
“I go on, go on… … I wanted to call you Mom.”
Even in a dying situation.
Unknowingly happy, Jupiter smiled brightly.
“Can I be your mother? I haven’t done anything for you… … She just kept taking away… … .”
“You know what I was talking about too?”
Junior, who wiped his tear-stained face with the back of his hand, laughed as if it was absurd.
“Can I really be your daughter? She didn’t do anything to her mother, she just kept stealing.”
“No, Junior.”
Jupiter stretched out his trembling hand and squeezed Junior’s hand tightly.
“Even if all the joys of my life were added together, they were less than the happiness after meeting you.”
“It’s absurd to say that we’ve been through a lot since our harvest… … .”
The two looked at each other without speaking for a while.
Sometimes, there are moments when a look is enough instead of words. It was like that now for both of them.
The two mothers and daughters looked at each other’s faces silently, crying and laughing.
“Can you stand me up?”
Jupiter muttered in a dying voice.
“I want to be beaten like a wizard at the end.”
“… … Yes, Mom.”
Junior carefully hugged Jupiter and raised him up.
“Do whatever you want.”
“Thank you, my daughter.”
As I stood up straight, blood poured out of my chest. Jupiter vomited blood several times, but somehow managed to straighten his body.
Then he shouted at the party surrounding Selendion.
“majesty!”
Ash turned around and Jupiter grinned.
“Can I take the lead?”
Ash nodded happily.
“Of course, Sir Jupiter.”
The party members all retreated from Selendion’s surroundings. Jupiter slowly raised his right hand into the air.
Kurung, Kurung… … !
A faint sound of thunder rang from the sky.
Jupiter, who was gathering the last remaining mana in his body, winked at Junior.
“daughter? Give me a cigarette.”
“You’re a heavy smoker until the end, my mother.”
Junior grumbled, but found a cigarette in Jupiter’s arms, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
Subsequently, Junior put his hand on Jupiter’s shoulder and helped Jupiter cast his last spell.
“Whoa-… … .”
Inhaling the smoke for a long time, Jupiter enjoyed the last breath of his life.
Right after that, he opened his only eye.
The old soldier’s big eyes were shining so brightly that it was hard to believe that they were those of a person about to die.
“Hey, Vampire King! I know with honor!”
Shouting cheerfully, Jupiter vigorously thrust his right fist forward.
“This is the final thunderbolt of Jupiter’s life!”
Flash-!
Quagmire!
A small, sharp bolt of lightning that fell from the sky hit Celendion’s head precisely.
It wasn’t the bright yellow or deep blue lightning bolts he always used. It was pure white lightning.
Although the power was less than 1/10 of the usual output, Selendion’s current magic defense was reduced to minus.
《Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!
True damage plus additional damage.
When magic defense was reduced to negative, magical attacks were accompanied by tremendous pain.
An ugly scream erupted from the lips of the Vampire King.
Chaeng-Grang-!
I could see Selendion’s spiritual core being shattered.
Jupiter’s thunderbolt must have killed Selendion once.
“haha… … . It’s cool inside.”
Jupiter, who had been laughing, collapsed.
Junior quickly hugged Jupiter and laid him on the floor.
Lying still, Jupiter looked up at Junior with eyes that were now blind.
“Live happily ever after, Junior.”
“… … .”
“My mother’s wish is… … That’s all.”
Junior squeezed Jupiter’s hand tightly.
“Live like a mother. That is my dream.”
“Yonsuk… … . If you live like me, you can’t… … .”
Immediately after, a smile crept across Jupiter’s lips.
“is not it… … Having such a wonderful daughter, maybe it was okay… … .”
The sky is blue.
Just like the color of the sea we saw together that day.
A wind blew from somewhere. There was a faint smell of the sea. I heard children’s laughter.
Jupiter slowly closed his eyes.
“A little bit sleepy… … .”
“Good night, Mom.”
Junior stroked her mother’s hair and whispered in her ear.
“Today is not a nightmare… … You will have nice dreams.”
Just as he said, Jupiter passed away comfortably as if he were sleeping.
20 years as a soldier. 15 years as a mercenary.
It was the peaceful end of a thunderbolt that had lived a turbulent life.
