00592 Smile and say goodbye. ————————————————– ———————-=
A message appeared saying that the saint’s prophecy had been detected. It was a message I had never seen before.
Why, why now… .
Complexity continues to fill my mind. I stared at Ansol intently. Even though his eyes are wide, he is chewing his lips to the point where his skin becomes dimpled. There is a hint of unspoken determination that miracles will never be used. I took a deep breath.
“Ansol.”
“… … .”
“I’ll tell you the truth. I don’t know the details of the situation yet. However, at least I know that it is a very urgent situation. To the point where it feels like a waste to even talk about this now. … So, let me ask you just one question.”
“… … .”
“No matter how this ends.”
“… … .”
“Can you accept the results?”
“… … .”
In other words, I was saying that you know that miracles exist.
However, Ansol said that it would not be used and that it was not available.
So, no matter what the outcome is in the future, can Ansol be able to handle the consequences?
This is exactly the point I wanted to ask.
Ansol still remained silent. Close your eyes tightly. Once again, a single tear flowed down her face, and her lips, which she had bitten so hard that blood came out, slowly parted.
“yes.”
And, Ansol said.
… good night.
I immediately got up and turned my back.
“What do you mean by that? “We were in the same group, but you don’t know what happened?”
“Oh, no! That’s not it… !”
At that moment, I saw a man and a woman arguing from where Soyoung Han was standing. The man who got angry was Yoo Ji-tae, and the woman who shook her head with an embarrassed face… . She was a first-time user. She looks like an archer since she’s wearing a bow. For now, let’s give it a go.
“How did this happen?”
When I interrupted the conversation, they both fell silent at the same time as if they had made a promise. Is it as if he doesn’t know what to do?
“Merchionary Road.”
After a while, Han So-young called me in a slightly confused voice. I nodded my head to indicate that I would listen first.
Soon, the quiet voice continued at a rapid pace. Soyoung Han briefly summarized the situation and how things were going. Starting with the fact that about 30 users were chasing Joo Hyun-ho, the group was divided into four, and now Ahn Hyeon and Helena, including Shin Jae-ryong, are not returning.
“Well, I…” .”
The only returning user is the archer woman who is now stuttering.
It is said that unlike other users, he returned alone. I’ve been saying things over and over again that I don’t know, but it’s obvious even if you don’t actually hear it.
Shin Jae-ryong’s group met Joo Hyeon-ho, and during the battle, he probably ran away alone. There is no use in lying. Because Han So-young’s extra senses would be able to detect it right away.
“… … .”
I gently closed my eyes. I wasn’t very surprised. I had some expectations since I couldn’t see any of the familiar clan members. The anxiety in my heart just deepens and becomes more urgent.
『Shin Sang-yong (deceased).』
For a moment, the thought of that time passed through my mind.
The memory of confirming death with my third eye was Shin Sang-yong’s face with his eyes closed comfortably as if he was sleeping.
『Ahn Hyeon (deceased).』
『Shin Jae-ryong (deceased).』
『Helena (deceased).』
And the future will surely continue… . No, the most likely future has been drawn.
… Now even the memory of having to run and abandon his brother’s body comes to mind.
“no… .”
I immediately opened my closed eyes.
While the ceiling is still cracking and rock-like dirt is falling, everyone is keeping their eyes on me and keeping their mouths shut.
what a waste.
Even the time I spend standing like this right now is such a waste.
After thinking that, I quietly opened my mouth.
“Istantel Low Road.”
“yes.”
“I think it would be right to escape with the users first. Although Helena is not there… .”
“If you are talking about external users, I have already contacted them.”
That’s right.
My mind is still complicated. I want to go out the door right now and find them.
However, that cannot be the case. It shouldn’t be like that. An unexplained feeling of anxiety is still strong throughout my body.
Here the purpose must be clear. Finding and saving is not everything.
okay. Not only must we save them, we must take them out alive.
If so, you need another device that makes it possible.
“great. Then, I will leave my clan member Ansol here.”
I will leave Ansol as a backup. Han So-young would have understood the meaning of these words.
“… ah.”
At that moment, Han So-young’s face showed a change that could not be described in words. I don’t know what that look on her face means, but I wasted no time in turning her around.
Now, I have to go.
“for a moment… .”
“wait a minute.”
As I was about to hit the ground, someone grabbed me. When I glanced over, I saw Yoo Ji-tae with a rather serious-looking face.
“I heard the story. But Mercenary Road. “Now is the time to think rationally.”

noisy.
I twisted the arm I was holding and opened my mouth.
“Merchionary Lord! Now, it’s not just Mercenary Road… !”
“I’m not asking for help.”
Then, trying to remain as calm as possible, I looked back at Yoo Ji-tae.
“Because they are my clan members, I will save them. “Don’t you know what this means?”
“Uh, uh… . to… .”
It was then.
I don’t know why, but Yoo Ji-tae, who made eye contact with me, suddenly started stuttering. And then he even hesitated to back away. It wasn’t just Yoo Ji-tae who was doing this, but all nearby users were doing the same. I reflexively touched my face.
That moment.
『User Han Soyoung’s power, Destruction • Charge is granted.』
“Bye. Mercenary Road.”
At the same time as Han So-young’s slightly faint voice sounded, a cool energy swept through my whole body like the wind.
Finally, Han So-young gave permission.
“then.”
With those last words, I ran away as fast as I could.
*
Just as the explosion was barely subsiding, Shin Jae-ryong lifted his head and looked for Ahn Hyeon. Anhyeon had collapsed relatively nearby.
“Anhyeon!”
A cry at the top of my lungs. Fortunately, Anhyeon wriggled in response. Even though she was frowning, it seemed like her life was still hanging on as she was able to get her body up. Self-defense equipment prevented the impact of the explosion to some extent.
“Tsk!”
However, it did not prevent it 100%. While getting up, Anhyun swayed slightly from side to side. Judging by the fact that the body was slightly tilted to the right, it appears that the right leg was injured. Shin Jae-ryong swallowed his sleep. It is fortunate that his life is not in danger, but the situation has become so bad that it is safe to say that it is the worst.
Finally, Ahn Hyeon, who had finally regained his balance, walked steadfastly.
“Jaeryong hyung. I’m sorry, but I need some treatment… ?”
However, the moment I checked Shin Jae-ryong’s condition, I automatically closed my mouth and opened my eyes. At first glance, Shin Jae-ryong’s condition seemed to be twice as serious as Ahn Hyeon’s. Around the area where he collapsed, soggy blood had already flowed out and even a small puddle had formed.
Shin Jae-ryong smiled bitterly, as if he had checked Ahn Hyeon’s face.
“I’m sorry. “The circuit is empty right now, so I can’t recite the spell.”
“No, no. brother. It hurts more than that… .”
“It’s no big deal. Anyway, let’s hurry up as much as possible.”
“ah.”
Ahn Hyeon must have finally come to his senses and quickly looked around. And for a moment, her emotions flashed in her eyes as she didn’t know what to do.
There were still dozens of women in the king’s den. There are women who were captured a long time ago, but there are also colleagues who were captured most recently. All of these women had swollen bellies and were suckling milk from the surviving caterpillar monsters.
Of course, saving them all was absolutely impossible.
“Grunt.”
Shin Jae-ryong, who struggled to get up, suddenly felt his mind becoming clearer. His vision, which had been blurring, suddenly returned to normal. The pain in his side lessened, and he felt as if every cell in his body was sending out strength. It’s like a candle lighting up a big flame before it goes out.
… I don’t know exactly.
Shin Jae-ryong took a deep breath and his eyes moved quickly. I touched Ahn Hyeon’s shoulder, who was still standing.
“Hyuna. “It’s an unavoidable situation.”
“… … .”
“It’s unfortunate, but let’s do as much as we can. So go and get Miss Helena.”
“All right.”
Although he hesitated a little, Anhyeon also knew that it was an unavoidable situation, so he moved quickly.
“Helena, Helena!”
Anhyeon called with a longing heart, but Helena did not show any response. Even though Ahn Hyeon felt scared, he lifted Helena up with his own hands. He tried to imagine what might happen to his cold body, but Ahn Hyeon shook his head vigorously and stared at the entrance. And he was surprised again.
“Are you done? “Then let’s go.”
Before I knew it, Shin Jae-ryong, who was standing near the entrance, was supporting a man with his shoulder. The man who looked half-asleep while coughing violently was none other than the warrior Lord Go Oh-hwan.
It was like that. Go Oh-hwan also suffered severe injuries, but was not yet dead.
“Tongue, bro?”
“now. Let’s talk later. If the Clan Lord had been aware of this situation, he would have definitely left room for rescue. “We believe in that and go forward.”
“no! That’s not it, why is that user?!”
“… … .”
For the first time, Anhyun’s voice rose. Her heart felt as if it would explode. It’s because I don’t understand the situation.
Of course, you can’t say that you’re okay, but each case is different. Helena was a user who had to be saved at all costs. However, Shin Jae-ryong is on the verge of collapse and has no intention of risking his life to save Musaro.
A moment of silence passed between the two men looking at each other.
“Because I want to be proud of myself.”
However, not long after, Shin Jae-ryong spoke.
“yes?”
As Ahn Hyeon walked awkwardly towards the entrance, he asked a question with a puzzled look on his face.
Shin Jae-ryong looked at Go Oh-hwan, who was moaning weakly, for a moment, then quietly opened his mouth.
“Hyuna. I am a horse. “In this situation, I don’t want to do anything that will leave me with regret.”
“brother. Why are you like this? Please, please. Common sense tells me that my brother is now… .”
“can do.”
“… no. no.”
“Didn’t you say it earlier? Let’s do as much as we can. “I’m doing this because I can.”
“I can’t.”
“And I… . Next time I explain the situation to the clan lord, I want to be honest. I really did my best. “He never abandoned his comrades who fought together under any circumstances, and saved them as much as he could within his means.”
“… … .”
Is that so? Is that what you meant by doing only as much as you can?
In the end, Ahn Hyeon kept his mouth shut. In fact, she still felt like she wanted to say something, but when Shin Jae-ryong looked at her face, he couldn’t bear to say any more. Shin Jae-ryong’s face, as he continued to look at him, harbored some emotion that he could not bear to recognize.
At the same time as the conversation stopped for a moment, Anhyeon also reached the entrance.
“I am a priest.”
Shin Jae-ryong, who spoke last, calmly turned around. Anhyun stared at her blood-stained back with worry still on her face.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
I read through the comments… . It seems that Shin Sang-yong’s death in the past was quite a shock to readers. (Actually, I didn’t even think that people would mourn together(?) to that extent.)
Actually, as I tell you now, there has been very little change in the concept. More readers than I expected gave me various opinions about the situation I was depicting, and they made me think deeply about it.
hmm. I’ll just leave it here for now. ha ha ha.
