MEMORIZE Chapter 385

00385 End of War ———————————————- ————————–=

Clap!

In an instant, jet black hair fell to the ground.

Bright red blood is seeping out from beneath the tangled hair.

“ha… . ha… .”

The man was breathing intermittently, as if he would stop at any moment. Every time he exhales, blood spurts from the corners of his mouth.

Eventually, the pale lips barely separated.

“Suhyeon… . Do you remember what my brother said before… ? me… . Don’t save it… .”

“brother… ?”

“But you… . Survive. Somehow I survived… . Look at the end… .”

“tongue… .”

Before the young man could say anything, the trembling disappeared from the hand he was holding.

The yellow electric current occurring in the body gradually fades away.

The shaking eyes lost their light in an instant.

Tuk!

Finally, my head and hands fell to the ground simultaneously and helplessly.

And that moment.

Kuoooooooo!

“Aaaaaaa!”

The cries of anger and sadness rang like crazy through the air.

*

Everything is over.

It felt as if something that had been filling my head just a moment ago had disappeared for an instant.

I sighed for no reason and raised my head and looked up at the sky.

The sun has finally risen in the sky. It would be nice if there was some cool rain, but the noon sky is so clear and clear. While I was walking blankly looking at the sky, several messages suddenly appeared in the air.

『User Kim Soo-hyun has defeated the ‘Spy Demon Nergal’!』

『Nergal, the ‘demon of the spy’, is part of a plan that the demon lord Beelzebub has been working on for a long time. If Simon Grimes had gone back like this, the continent of Hall Plain would have fallen into chaos that could not be controlled.』

『However, user Kim Soo-hyun made a great contribution to stopping the devil’s plan by killing the prospective awakening person who received the ‘devil’s seed’.』

『Based on these considerations, we will award 500,000 Gold Points to user Kim Soo-hyun!』

“… … .”

‘500,000 points… .’

I looked at the messages with a slightly dazed feeling, then closed my eyes for a moment.

500,000 gold points.

For someone who caught just one demon, the payment was quite generous. This means that my prediction was ultimately correct. If Belphegor was a product of being summoned by chance, Nergal was definitely a product of planning. It seems that the rating was given quite high, probably taking that into account.

To be honest, I have no particular inspiration. I have touched countless GPs at one time. Maybe that’s why, even though it’s a lot of gold points, 500,000 GP doesn’t seem that big of a deal.

Before we knew it, we had left the forest in the field. Then, towards the front where your steps are heading, you slowly begin to feel the bustling crowds of people.

As soon as I opened my closed eyes, I turned off the messages floating in the air. Then, between the lost messages, the battlefield I had passed through came into view from afar.

no. Is it difficult to call it a battlefield anymore?

There were clearly a lot of people walking around. But I no longer feel the intensity I felt when I passed by earlier.

So I kept walking. I walked and walked and walked into a place where people were. And passed them by.

The sun rose in the sunny sky, casting brilliant sunlight, brightening the field. It was a weather that did not suit the scene of corpses scattered in the fields and blood flowing.

Suddenly, I felt the back of my neck getting warm from the strong sunlight. When I realized it, I was walking in the middle of a field.

Eventually, as I passed the people, the surrounding scenes flowed into my ears one by one.

“Suyeon! Suyeon! Answer me! Sooyeon!”

“Someone help me!” “Priests, please come this way!”

People desperately looking for someone and hoping for help.

“I’m glad you’re alive… . Thank goodness… . “We lived!”

“Huh… . Hehehe… .”

People who are relieved and happy that they are alive.

“brother! brother! What if I close my eyes! Open your eyes! huh? brother… ? “Sigh!”

People screaming in front of dying users.

“Let go! Say no! “I’m going to kill those bastards!”

“Hold on! Be patient! These are prisoners who surrendered! “It’s all over now!”

“Whoever wants to be a prisoner! The war isn’t over yet! “You f*cking bastards!”

People who confirm death and explode with anger.

“older brother! older brother! No, right? It’s a lie, right? shit! older brother!”

And people who mourn the death of an acquaintance… .

‘huh?’

At that moment, the voice flowing into my ears felt quite familiar, and I stopped walking without realizing it. As I slowly turned my head, I could soon see a spot where dozens of people were gathered. Most of their chests had patterns symbolizing the Goryeo clan drawn on them.

“Shit! You promised to live together until the end! Oh, no. This is not the time. What are the priests doing there! “Hurry up and don’t memorize the healing spell!”

“User Cho Seong-ho! Lord Goryeo died. I mourn his death. But first, calm down… .”

The moment I heard those words, I felt a little awakened.

‘Is Goryeo Lord dead?’

So does that mean he died just like in the first round?

… I don’t know how he died. Still, he would not have died in vain as he had originally received good reviews after his death. I just had that thought.

I passed the crying people with a faint sigh.

As I went on, I felt that the sounds filling my surroundings were gradually becoming quieter.

Eventually, the next place I arrived was the place I met when rescuing the children.

The place where Ansol awakened and confirmed Shin Sang-yong’s death.

There was no one standing there. Only traces remained, along with a few corpses. I thought Go Yeon-ju probably followed my instructions well.

“… … .”

Among the blood stains that keep coming into view, there is no doubt that Shin Sang-yong’s are also mixed in. I stared at that place for a while, then started walking again.

Eventually, the battlefield, which had become quiet for a moment, became noisy again as we walked.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

The gait seen below is extremely slow. My steps were so slow that it seemed like a dream that I had just been running like crazy across the battlefield. Is it because I just walk aimlessly wherever I want to go?

How far did I cross the field like that?

The moment I caught sight of the users gathered in one place who started to appear from afar, I stopped walking without realizing it.

The visible users were members of the Mercantile Clan.

At first, I didn’t really know why I walked slowly. But as soon as I saw the clan members, a thought crossed my mind, and I was able to intuitively find the answer.

A long time ago, when the Mercantile Clan was still in its infancy. I remember seeing a group of users while returning from an expedition. They were also a group returning from an expedition, and unlike us, who came back excited after achieving great success, I remember that they were in a very gloomy mood. The reason is obvious. The expedition would have failed and a comrade would have been lost.

At that time, the kids stopped talking and just stared at them. Although I was curious about what the kids were thinking in their heads, I made a promise to myself at the time. I will never fail to prevent such a scene from happening. I will make sure that such an atmosphere is not visible in Mercantile.

But ultimately it failed.

Personally, I think we achieved what we set out to achieve through the war. But if you look at the clan as a whole… . He put all his clan members in danger, and even lost one of them more than anything else.

Of course, Shin Sang-yong was excluded from the initial selection and changed at his personal request. But that decision was also mine, and in the end, participating in the war was an inexcusable wrong choice.

‘I’d rather say I’m going alone.’

With a thought in mind, I stopped walking and stared at my clan members.

Perhaps due to the effect of a ‘miracle’, everyone appears to be safe except Shin Sang-yong. Although I felt relieved to see that, I was also worried. Even without having to approach, I was able to grasp the feeling that was secretly flowing into me.

I took a step forward thinking I had to go, but soon ended up back on the floor. It was when I gently bit my lip as my footsteps stopped moving.

“Suhyeon!”

‘?’

“Suhyeon! Soohyun!”

A voice suddenly heard. When she turns her head accordingly, she sees Inyoung running towards her from one direction. After confirming the identity of the human being, I let out a weak sigh.

My brother was running.

“Suhyeon! you… ! uh… ?”

And my brother, who had come a short distance away, paused slightly the moment he made eye contact with me.

“you… . are you okay?”

“Are you okay?”

I asked back.

It may have been meaningless, but if you ask me, it’s not okay. As ‘anger’ was deactivated again, fatigue filled my body again. And as soon as I recognized it, my vision wavered for a moment.

“uh… .”

“Suhyeon!”

chin!

The earth, which was unintentionally getting closer, stopped in the middle. As soon as I raise my head, I see my brother. It seems like he saw me fall and ran to catch me.

“You… now?” .”

Eventually, my brother’s lips parted. But when he saw my face, he immediately closed again. What on earth was he trying to say?

It was then.

“Su-hyun!”

“Merchionary Lord!”

The older brother’s voice must have been quite loud, so the clan members who had their backs to him slowly began to turn around one by one. I closed my eyes for a moment, then stood upright with all my strength.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose. I’m sick of losing my mind now. And more than anything, I didn’t want to appear weak.

“… … .”

Surprisingly, my brother didn’t say anything. He just supported me knowingly or unknowingly, and helped me walk quietly with his mouth closed.

Soon, the distance between the clan members began to get closer. I saw a few people trying to run towards me, but I immediately raised my hand to stop them. It was a signal to just stay still.

As the distance decreases, the concentration of gloomy energy becomes deeper, and the faces of eight clan members become clearly visible.

There are a total of eight remaining clan members. Four people were sitting or lying face down on the floor surrounding Shin Sang-yong, and the remaining four were standing up with a gloomy look.

“Ugh… . Hehehe… . brother… . It’s because of me… . because of me… . Sang-Yong hyung… .”

Among them, the one who was particularly severe was Ahn Hyeon. Unusually, the guy had thrown away all of his equipment and was lying on the floor sobbing.

And next to them, Ansol and Yujeong Lee were sitting helplessly, like people who had lost their minds. Both of them had tear marks on their cheeks, so it seemed like they had already shed a lot of tears.

Finally, Vivian was seen sitting helplessly for the last time. She didn’t look back even when I came. She was just quietly watching Shin Sang-yong.

“Soo, Su-hyeon?”

For some reason, I heard a voice calling me with a question, but I ignored it and passed by. And that was the moment I went inside to take a closer look at Shin Sang-yong.

Then Vivien finally turned to look at me. A tear was flowing from each of her eyes.

“Kim Soohyun.”

“… … .”

“Shin Sang-yong is dead.”

“… … .”

I looked down at Shin Sang-yong without saying anything. As I saw earlier, there was still a calm, comfortable smile on his lips.

“He was my first student… . I never dreamed we would break up like this… .”

“… … .”

“me… . I hate this so much… .”

Vivien’s last words, which she continued to sob, pierced my heart deeply.

And I couldn’t answer anything. What on earth should I say in this situation?

“… … .”

A moment of silence passed.

It was then.

“I know how to bring it back to life.”

Suddenly, a quiet voice penetrated my ears. At those words, everyone lifted their heads and looked in one direction.

Where the clan members focused their attention, there was Kim Han-byeol.

“I understand that there is an item called Wish in the user store. Although it costs a lot of GP, it is said that even dead people can be brought back to life… .”

“Kim Han… !”

“W-what?”

“Is that real?”

As Ahn Hyeon and Lee Yu-jeong rushed at each other like crazy, Kim Han-byeol replied, “It’s just a story I heard, but it’s probably true.” I gritted my teeth.

But as if Kim Han-byeol’s answer wasn’t enough, Ahn Hyeon rushed at me.

“brother! brother! Really? “Is there such a thing as a wish?”

“… … .”

I reflexively closed my eyes. My stomach became confused for a moment at the memory that suddenly came to mind, but I was barely able to answer.

“Let’s stop for now.”

“brother! If I collect GP, will I be able to save Sang-Yong again? yes?”

Even though he told her to stop, Ahn Hyeon clung desperately.

I opened my mouth, holding my trembling throat.

“Hyuna.”

When I called his name, Anhyun’s clinging stopped for a moment.

“please… . Please let’s stop… . that… . “Let’s talk later.”

“brother! uh… . brother… ?”

I didn’t answer any more and turned my head away. But at that time, Ahn Hyeon’s eyes widened as he looked at me, as big as a flower lantern.

It wasn’t just Anhyun. From the moment I met my brother, the clan members’ shocked and worried gazes were focused on me.

And only then was I able to look at myself covered in blood. My whole body is dyed red to the point where no skin color is visible.

I calmly took off my coat. However, the coat is not good either. When did this happen? The back was torn to shreds and looked like a rag. I wiped my face vigorously with it. Once was not enough, so I wiped it two or three times. Only then did I feel like my vision became slightly clearer.

‘Come to your senses. Kim Soohyun!’

After calming down for a moment, I began speaking in a forced voice.

“High user performance.”

“yes yes!”

“Recover the body of user Shin Sang-yong right now. And we will immediately begin organizing the battlefield.”

“All right.”

Then, I looked back at my brother. My brother was still looking at me silently. As he was looking at his brother, the memory of that time came to mind.

Shin Sang-yong? wish?

It can be saved.

But is saving her life really the right choice?

In the distant future. perhaps… .

no. Maybe not.

The reason I came back was not to eat well and live well in Hall Plain. It was to take his brother and Han So-young, and ultimately return to Earth ‘safely’. It was the future I had thought about and planned for, and that I would inevitably face.

however.

When that time approaches, can we really think that saving Shin Sang-yong was the right choice?

I cannot give a definite answer on this matter.

because… .

Even if you revive a user who has died, they cannot return to Earth in the end.
