00652 Demonic nature Vs evil fire. ————————————————– ———————-=
The moment I checked the message printed in the air, a thought flashed through my mind.
‘Reward points.’
I immediately shouted without thinking any more.
“Go Yeon-ju… !”
My voice didn’t come out as well as I expected, so I had to force myself to speak, but fortunately, Go Yeon-ju came running to me quickly.
“Su-hyun… !”
Go Yeon-ju looked at me and made a sad expression, then closed her eyes tightly and turned her head. It was an action that showed how serious my condition was, but now was not the time to cover things up.
I forced my hand up and pointed to the right with my index finger. It was in the direction of the city.
“sister! My brother… !”
While I was wondering what would happen if I kept turning my head, a familiar voice called out a high performance. Now that I think about it, I felt like my throat was feeling better earlier and someone kept pouring potions on me, but it seems it was Kim Han-byeol.
After a while, Go Yeon-ju, who opened her eyes at the call, turned her head in the direction I pointed and gave a puzzled look.
I opened my mouth with difficulty.
“this way… . Atlanta… .”
“Su-hyun?”
“Battlefield… . leave… .”
“… “Are you telling me to leave the battlefield now?”
Even though I only said simple words, Go Yeonju understood right away. I gently closed my eyes once to mean yes.
“Su-hyun! “What are you talking about?”
Then Go Yeon-ju shouted with a face that said she could never do that. He probably understood it as meaning to run away. I felt a little stuffy, but I slowly shook my head.
“It’s not about running away… . Ko Yeon-joo goes to Atlanta… .”
“I can’t do that. No, I won’t. Rather together… !”
“Achievements… . compensation… .”
“… yes?”
As soon as the word achievement reward came out, Ko Yeon-ju’s words became blurred.
What I really wanted to say to Ko Yeon-joo was to run to Atlanta and receive the reward for his achievements.
Since you found the landmark of the tower earlier, Atlanta is really close. Considering the maximum speed that Go Yeon-ju can achieve, he should be able to get there in no time.
If Atlanta is discovered while acting for the purpose of ‘exploration’ rather than ‘desertion’ like Lee Jeong-pil, achievement rewards are given to all expedition users, even if Go Yeon-ju discovered it alone. Then, setting everything else aside, ability points roll in as rewards. In other words, by increasing your physical strength with those points, you can achieve Hwajeong’s third awakening.
Not long after, Lee Chae caught Go Yeon-ju’s eyes.
“therefore… . Are you telling me to go to Atlanta now and get my achievement reward?”
Since Go Yeon-ju was a user summoned before the Barbara attack, he must have figured out what I wanted by now. Also, only for users who have reached a certain level, how much impact does 1 ability point have?
“B-but… .”
Nevertheless, Ko Yeon-joo shows signs of hesitation.
“please… !”
So I urged with a truly earnest heart.
I really appreciate that feeling, but this is the only way I can think of right now. The battle earlier had made him fully enlightened. According to my current user information, even if you die and wake up, you cannot defeat the Duke of Hell. If this continues, even if his body miraculously recovers and a second fight is held, the result will be the same.
As such, I felt like grasping at straws right now.
Did you read the sincerity in my expression?
“… all right.”
Go Yeon-ju, biting her lower lip, stood up resolutely.
“I’ll be back. “I will come back, so please don’t die.”
Then he looked down at me for a moment, then turned in the direction he pointed and started running.
‘Never die.’ With those last words, Go Yeon-ju turned into a dot and disappeared in less than a few seconds. I felt a presence moving away at an incredible speed. You’re probably gritting your teeth and running right now.
Even though we had such a great performance, we can’t just feel at ease. The moment I checked the four messages still floating in the air, and the moment I faced the harsh reality, I felt like I was plunging headlong into a deep swamp. Even though I had some hope for a moment with my ability points, the situation was shocking and nothing had changed.
Of course, objectively the situation has improved and will continue to improve.
Jegal Haesol’s magical ability reached 101 points, and he was ‘unable to fall.’ The rank of has risen. Additionally, as soon as Go Yeon-ju discovers the city, he will be able to increase his stamina to 101 points.
But if you really think about it calmly, you might think, ‘So?’ This thought does not go away. I tried to prepare a means of counterattack, but I know that this situation is not easy at all.
If the opponent had been Kushan Thor, he would have clenched his fists thinking he could win.
However, the current opponent is the Archduke of Hell. To tell the truth, I don’t think I’m an opponent I can beat even if I achieve Hwajeong’s third awakening. After hanging out with him for a while, it was an instinctive feeling. I had a strong feeling that the Duke of Hell, who had the same power as me, would have already escaped the 3rd awakening and achieved a higher level.
In other words, no matter how much I struggle and struggle, I am something that can never be defeated.
This was not an opponent for whom my half-hearted awakening would work. Hwajeong’s voice, which had desperately shouted at me to run away earlier, can now be felt painfully.
“… … .”
Suddenly, a flash of light and a loud noise that makes you shiver are heard from ahead.
No, actually, it was the roaring noises that had been heard from before. Although it is not visible because it is lying down, you can feel what the situation is.
I could hear Gong Chan-ho shouting loudly, the sound of lightning flashing, something loudly exploding, the sound of liquid falling, the sound of hell burning, etc… . Not only screams, but also tremendous flows of magic power were being conveyed every second.
I didn’t want to hear those sounds, so I closed my eyes tightly. I felt like covering my ears.
‘Even though I told you to run away… .’
No, maybe running away would have been useless.
When that thought occurred to me, a sudden laugh escaped me.
Suddenly, a feeling of regret came over me.
I thought we were all there now.
I thought I had finally arrived in Atlanta.
I thought that if I tried a little harder, I would be able to return home.
however… .
‘What the hell am I…’ . So far for what… .’
I don’t feel like giving up yet, I want to try something, but the situation is already coming to an end.
A terrible sense of disconnection is felt in that gap.
Who would have thought that I would feel the same feelings I felt back then, the helplessness of not being able to do anything?

‘No matter how much I think, I can’t find the answer… .’
at that time.
Knock!
Suddenly, a raindrop fell on my forehead. The moment I slowly opened my eyes to see if it was raining suddenly, I suddenly felt strength entering my eyes. At the same time, another drop of water flows down and hits my forehead.
… no. It wasn’t a raindrop or a water drop.
It was tears.
Hanbyeol Kim was crying, covering her mouth with one hand.
But there is no crying sound. Mokuldae continues to move up and down, as if they are holding back. She was sobbing silently, but the tears streaming down her cheeks continued to fall past her chin. There was sadness and fear in those eyes that could not be hidden.
Why is Kim Han-byul crying?
What on earth did I see to make me cry like that?
“… ah.”
Perhaps feeling my gaze, Kim Hanbyeol suddenly lowered her head and made eye contact with me. His quivering lips catch my eye.
“Oh, brother… .”
Hanbyeol Kim called me with a shaking voice.
“brother… . brother… .”
Kim Han-byeol, who called me again, lowered her head even further so that our noses were touching. And he makes eye contact with me and continues his words in a whisper.
“You asked me a while ago… . Amor Nuntios… . That word… .”
huh?
‘Amor Nuntios?’
In fact, it was such a random statement that I couldn’t help but tilt my head. A few days ago, I asked what it meant and I only received a few glances.
But Kim Han-byeol didn’t care one bit. He just stared at me for a moment and then quietly opened his mouth.
“Actually, it’s a word that means a love message.”
… What does this mean?
As I raise my gaze in confusion, beautiful eyes shining with determination come into view.
Before I could even understand those words, Hanbyeol Kim’s lips parted.
“therefore… . “I think I love you.”
… love?
Then, not only did my mind feel dizzy, I felt my whole mind go blank.
But Kim Han-byeol’s words did not stop.
“No, I love you.”
“… … .”
“yes. “I love you.”
“… … .”
“i love you. “I’ve loved you ever since I fell in love at first sight during Rite of Passage.”
“… … .”
Kim Han-byeol repeated the same words three times. For a moment, her mind became confused. I wondered if I had heard wrong, but no. Even though her throat was sobbing from time to time, her voice whispering that I loved her was crystal clear. As if he was going to say this right.
‘Why are you suddenly saying this… .’
I don’t know what to say. At best, it might be okay if you’re on guard like last time, but isn’t a confession too sudden when your life is at stake?
At that moment, Hanbyul Kim slowly raised his head. Then her face, which had been close enough that I could feel her breath, slowly moved away.
Hanbyul Kim opened his mouth.
“Are you curious? Why did you suddenly say this… .”
And as he looked at me, he smiled sadly with tears still forming on his face.
“because… . “If not this time, I don’t think I’ll ever have a chance to talk to you again.”
Only then.
“brother. sorry.”
It was only then that I realized that something was strange. Now that I think about it, the noises that had been ringing in my eardrums just moments ago became quiet for an instant. Not only that, but I also felt the presence of someone walking forward from the front.
‘You’re here.’
The situation is obvious even without looking at it. The sound of footsteps being heard now was an indication that the Prince of Hell had succeeded in silencing all the users who attacked him.
The moment I thought that, I felt the ground gently touching the back of my head. Kim Han-byeol was standing up from his seat. At the same time, he was seen putting his trembling hand into his bosom and pulling out a handful of jewels. Then, start walking forward one step at a time.
I had no choice but to quietly look at that figure.
“Ha, Hanbyul.”
The body was still the same. It was difficult to even stand upright, let alone stand up straight. As such, there is nothing I can do right now.
Yeah, I… .
‘… … .’
… shit.
“f*ck… .”
The feeling of helplessness that came over me once again made me curse.
It was that moment.
– … Do you want to save it?
Just as I was scratching the ground with disgust rising for no reason, I suddenly heard Hwajeong’s voice.
‘Hwajeong?’
– I don’t have time to talk long. Just answer the question. Do you want to live, do you want to save?
At first glance, Hwajeong’s tone seemed close to a commanding tone. In a way, it sounded like he was angry.
‘Do you want to live or do you want to be saved?’
At first glance, it sounds similar. However, the two words have a big difference.
‘That’s it… .’
Anyway, I don’t know what the intention was for saying this, but if I were to choose one, wouldn’t it be obvious?
‘I want to save it.’
That was the moment I answered in my heart.
Tiring!
『User Go Yeon-ju discovered the city of Atlanta!』
“congratulations… .』
『Ancient Atlanta… .』
『As a reward for discovering a city in Atlanta, GP will be given to all users who participated in the expedition… .』
Suddenly, several messages began to appear in the air at once. But among the numerous messages, only one caught my eye.
『As a reward for discovering a city in Atlanta, 1 (Free Point) of ability points will be given to all users who participated in the expedition!』
Finally, a straw fell in front of me.

sorry. I finished writing yesterday around 04:06, but when I tried to update, Jo Ara was checking. I was very embarrassed because I was not aware of the maintenance in advance. (I understand that the maintenance started at 04:00 and was lifted at 08:00.)
We sincerely apologize to our readers for this and ask for their deep understanding. _(__)_
