#Episode 117
Jin Shihou burst into laughter. That loyalty is really so nice to see. Suddenly, I wonder.
“Then me?”
“… … I don’t know.”
“It’s disappointing.”
“……yes?”
“I’m just kidding. But I’m sorry to say this to you two, but I didn’t come here to see you two. I came here to kill the apostles, so could you please step aside?”
There was something I had to point out. Jin Shihou didn’t ask for a favor. He just notified me.
He waved both hands. Lazarus and Langwei were pushed aside. Jin Shihou kicked his seat toward the desert. The two men, with expressions of bewilderment, looked at each other for a moment.
It’s late, but I should at least make a statement.
The two men who thought so realized that there was something more urgent.
First, let’s follow Jin Shi-hoo.
Whether in Europe or Asia, Jin Shihou’s help is now desperately needed.
So the two men also take their places.
* * *
I think I fainted, that’s how I should describe it.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I was surprised at was that the crosswalk I had been walking on just a moment ago had disappeared, and the second thing I was surprised at was how chaotic the surroundings were.
And the third surprise came when I realized that this was not Earth, but Titan.
Hundreds of people, all waking up in a place they don’t understand, and they’re still calm? That would be even stranger.
Confusion soon turned to panic, and panic began to eat away at the sanity of those who were still sane.
People became violent and started punching each other over a few small lines.
Exactly eight people.
Eight people fought.
What was unfortunate was that two of them were near me.
“What? You’re saying I kidnapped you? Is this kid crazy?”
A man punched a woman in the face.
Oh my god.
The sound echoes and the man takes three or four steps back. Then his chin touches my body.
Strictly speaking, I didn’t do anything.
I was equally confused and panicked, although I didn’t show it on my face. It was the same for me and others who were faced with an unknown situation.
The man who was staggering back after being punched in the face by me suddenly touched me, and at that moment, the man swung his elbow towards me.
I guess Pia is not identified.
I’m annoyed.
If you say you’ve never been in a fight, that would be ridiculous.
I’ve been in quite a few fights.
The guy who was bragging about learning boxing, the prospect who was playing in the UFC interleague, etc.
I have never lost even once.
It was probably at this time that he realized he had a natural talent for fighting.
So I was able to dodge the elbow attack that occurred without me knowing.
No matter how panicked you are, you should avoid this.
However, there was no need to avoid it.
Thud-!
Because a guy came up to me and grabbed my elbow as it was going into my face.
He had dark eyes. His eyes were large and his body was stocky.
He looks to be about 180cm tall and weighs about the same. His muscles are clearly visible.
The man who swung his elbow at me looked embarrassed.
“What… … What is it… … .”
“Take it easy. No one knows what the situation is, so what will be solved by throwing punches like this?”
“… … .”
“And you should know that you’re being treated unfairly. It’s not right to do that to a child like this. You’re an adult.”
The man furrowed his brow, but there was nothing he could do. Soon his elbows gave out and he stepped back.
The man who had done me a favor smiled gently and patted my shoulder.
“are you okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
“You’re good at English. Are you Korean? A middle school student? A high school student?”
“I am a high school student.”
I didn’t know what the word “dropped out” meant, so I just answered that I was a high school student.
The man extended his hand to me and asked to shake it.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Paulo Dos Santos Silva, Paulo Silva as he’s called back home. Do you like football?”
“Yes, I like it.”
“That’s great. Do you know Sao Paulo, Brazil?”
“I have heard of it.”
“I’m a player there. Let’s play a game next time when you get the chance.”
Since then, I have never played football with a guy named Paulo.
However, I was with this man for a full 5 years.
Paulo was one of the good people I met on Titan, and the one I most wanted to break off.
“What is your name?”
He said this while holding Paulo’s hand as he asked.

“This is Jin Shihou.”
After three years had passed.
In my life, the most meaningful organization of all the moments I have lived, the Golden Lion Order, was founded.
The Golden Lions caused a stir across the entire continent of Titan. They were a sort of vigilante and bandit group.
We stole valuable items. Of course, we only robbed the nobles. We also robbed the black market run by the nobles.
With the money earned in this way, he fed those who were being exploited.
The Golden Lions became a legend.
As you might expect, there was a huge bounty on the heads of the first founding members.
Jin Shi-hoo, Jeong Hyo-ju, Amy, and Joseph Vassé.
And Paulo dos Santos Silva, the first captain and leader of the Golden Lions.
The man who had the greatest influence on my life after my sister, he was stabbed in the back of the head by one of the people he trusted the most, Josef Basse.
And I chased him to the ends of the continent and tore his limbs apart. I didn’t care whether he was protected by nobles, kings, soldiers, or commoners.
All those who got in the way were torn to pieces and killed. Their bodies were not even cleaned up. They were left lying on the street.
Afterwards, a bounty was placed on my head that was larger than the sum of the entire Golden Lion’s bounty combined, but that was a story for another time.
thud.
The legs touch the ground.
It may sound a little bad to say this to others, but I really don’t care if a few countries are destroyed or are on the verge of destruction.
From the moment I returned to Earth, there was only one thing I had to do. That was decided.
Catching and killing all the doppelgangers.
It’s the same now.
I have never forgotten that purpose for a single moment.
I’ve been reading Mana’s memories nonstop. It’s giving me a headache.
I kept kicking the desert.
The place we arrived at was marked ‘Guelb er Richat’ on my watch.
When I clicked on the footnote that appeared next to it, I found out that this place is called the Eye of the Sahara.
Standing tall, he stopped in his tracks.
I raised my head. In the distance.
A man was standing there, dug up in a place as large as a meteorite.
Short sleeves, shorts.
He turns his head.
“… … It’s a monster, just like I heard.”
Yoon Young-soo said this to me.
There are currently three apostles on Earth whose locations are completely unknown.
Paulo dos Santos Silva. Tia Sullivan. Josef Basse.
There is a high probability, no, almost certainty, that these three are the top apostles, and so far two of them have died.
Joseph Basse was the fifth Elder Celestial, and Tia Sullivan was the second Apostle Athena.
Paulo dos Santos Silva.
Born in Brazil and a former player for Sao Paulo, one of Brazil’s most prestigious football clubs, he was the first person to extend a courtesy to me during the chaos at Titan.
I can still see that smile he had when I first saw him.
The eyebrows furrowed slightly.
So, rather than opening my mouth, I took action.
Kwang.
I kicked the seat. My body stretched forward. I was in front of Paulo. His eyes opened wide. At the sight of his face.
Kwaaaaang-!!
He brought his fist down.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The desert is ravaged and storms rage in all directions.
I just stamped my foot down.
Crunch-!
The bastard’s face is ruined.
“It’s a face I miss, but it feels a little dirty to see a kid who shouldn’t be making that face.”
“……what?”
“It’s just like that. There’s no need to delve deeper into it.”
There was no reason to drag it out.
Just then, I was about to kick his foot again to blow his head off.
The bastard grabs his own heart.
and.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
There was a huge explosion.
I took two steps back in the aftermath, and immediately turned my head to the side. A spear passed by my face.
He reached out and grabbed the spear, then stretched out his foot.
Thud-!
It didn’t look like dust, but it was definitely caught in the bastard’s hand. I put strength into my other leg, jumped up, and kicked that foot out.
Kwaaaaang-!!
This time, it hit the mark. It was aimed at the face, but the neck? Below the neck? That area seems to have been hit.
The bastard was pushed back. The hand that was holding my other foot also released. The spear also dropped.
It was then that I retrieved the window and held it in the opposite direction. Among the dust.
Doo doo doo doo doo-!
Dozens, no, hundreds?
I don’t know.
A huge number of windows are pouring in.
He took a step back, grabbed the spear, and spun it around. His fingers moved dazzlingly, and the spear spun dazzlingly as well.
It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve written. White smoke covers all directions. I turned my body as I looked at the thousands of spears reaching out to me.

[Chapter 17: The King’s Rampant Dance.]
* * *
Honestly, I never thought we’d be able to have a normal conversation.
Isn’t he a very famous guy?
Jin Shi-hoo is a truly crazy bastard who goes around killing apostles, and even subdues them and locks them up in a place like a blood factory. He’s a real monster.
Talking to a guy like that? Is that even possible?
I had something to say, and perhaps we could have had a fruitful conversation, but I was never given the chance.
This was a bit unexpected.
The third elder, Agui, whose name was Paulo Silva, was currently feeling only one emotion towards Jin Shihou.
‘anger.’
The most primitive emotion, and the easiest to express, is what Jin Shi-hoo is expressing now.
Why on earth?
When Jin Shihou first swung his fist, the reason came out.
Because of the face and the name.
Paulo dos Santos Silva.
I guess she had a very deep relationship with this guy on Titan.
At this part, Agwi got really angry.
It’s like, there’s no such thing as a child.
Certainly the apostles can cooperate with humans.
The apostles who must see the end of the system and the humans who try to survive from that system.
There is a clear common denominator between these two entities.
If we destroy the system together, what can we call an ally?
But then it all fell apart.
Jin Shi-hoo, it’s because of that one person.
Building partnerships? It’s meaningless now.
Only a very small number of apostles survived, and even those apostles were pursued by Jin Shihou.
What the apostles can do is ultimately determined.
If you have to fight an opponent, at least fight in a favorable location.
Even a shit dog will eat half of its food on its home ground.
This is a desert.
It is also Agui’s favorite stage.
Jin Shihou’s legs go up.
I guess he’s planning to blow his head off like this.
I didn’t mean to leave it like that.
The devil’s eyes flash.
[Expansion of territory.]
[Spear Heaven World.]
Kwaaaaang-!
There was a huge explosion with a loud noise. Jin Shihou stepped back. Immediately, Agui took action.
