#Episode 119
As long as we live as living beings, it is inevitable that we will have a lifespan.
Even the werewolf Yuha and the true vampire are not exempt from it.
However, Lazarus did not spare his own life compared to Helena. It was clear that he did not have much time left.
Langwei said.
“… … You can think of it as a favor, or you can think of it as pity. I’ll take the stronger one of the two, and you take the weaker one.”
Lazarus bursts out laughing.
“Aren’t you being too careful? I’m still getting better.”
“I hope you do not misunderstand my words. Your life is short. On the day the Apostles descended to Earth, you fought against them before our Emperor. I clearly remember your appearance at that time. We were enemies for tens or hundreds of years in the past, but at that time, even I feared you.”
There have been repeated statements that life is running out.
Then why on earth does Lazarus have so little time left?
When writing a story about a person’s death, it means that they did something to the point of shortening their lifespan, but what on earth did they do that makes these words keep coming up?
It was simple.
The day the apostles descended to Earth.
There was a war between the Apostles and the Underworld.
It was a very short war, but during that short war, there was someone who ran around more than anyone else and achieved greater feats than anyone else.
That’s Lazarus Blood.
Lazarus devoted his all to serving the apostles.
Although the number of apostles who were killed was zero, the number of apostles who were brought to the brink of death exceeded ten. Thanks to Lazarus, the Underworld gained time to organize, and during that brief lull, the first apostle, Asura, decided to call a truce and proposed a truce.
There are several reasons why the Underworld and the Apostles came to a truce, but the biggest reason is Lazarus’s activities.
It was not for nothing that the apostles who had been stuck in Greece treated Lazarus in this way.
And because of his actions at that time, Lazarus was given a limited time.
No one knows exactly how much time is left, whether it will be one month, two months, or a year. Perhaps only Lazarus himself knows.
“As you know, things have changed a lot. We are allies in the larger scheme of things. I think it is foolish to bring our past relationships into the present. So please accept what is given to you. Don’t embarrass me unnecessarily.”
“If the 1st Corps Commander says so… … Well, I guess I’ll have to accept it. Then let’s change seats first.”
Lazarus does not refuse such a favor.
Over the past ten years, Lazarus has become more harmful than we might think.
“Let’s clean up first and then go find Mr. Jin Shi-hoo.”
As Langwei nodded, the two men kicked their seats.

The man who was the king of a country was the first to lose his friend.
And I lost my family. I lost my comrades. I lost my country.
There were just a lot of things I wanted.
I wanted friends, I wanted family, I wanted colleagues, I wanted a country, I wanted wealth, I wanted treasure, I wanted everything.
He did not care about the means and methods. To gain a friend, he killed his friend’s wife. To gain a family, he destroyed a family. To gain a comrade, he made an enemy. To gain a country, he started a war.
The greedy man was called the King of Greed, and the system came down to the world he was in.
To him who had lost everything, a strange-looking monster appeared.
-What a greedy guy you are.
My eyebrows furrowed. Who are you? Who are you to dare judge me? I am a king. A king of kings who will possess the whole world.
Look at what this body has built up and despair.
Behind that greedy king, only pulverized ruins spread out endlessly.
-Do you want to build it again?
The monster places its hand on the king’s head.
-If your greed has not yet reached its end, I will let you see its end.
The king of temptations thought, What on earth is this monster talking about?
-I will give you a chance for revenge. I will give you the power to fight against the system that has destroyed everything you have built. I will give you a chance to bring down those who are hiding behind that system.
To the King of Temptation, the monster before his eyes seemed to hold a great grudge against the system that had destroyed the King of Temptation’s world.
-My name is the Six Paths Sage. Would you like to join us?
I was already overwhelmed. When a hand was placed on my head, I couldn’t shake it off. It was strange to even struggle in the first place. Because the King of Temptation was lying on the floor right now. He was just lying there, staring straight ahead with his eyes wide open.
I couldn’t move my arms and legs. It was strange to move them. How could I move them when they were all cut off?
It was funny to even talk. How could I talk when my tongue was completely ripped out?
It was a miracle just to watch.
Tears well up in my eyes. Not because I’m angry. Because the opportunity has come.
I shed tears of joy because I had a chance to take revenge, a chance to destroy the system that took everything from me.
-good night.
The energy of the Six Paths Immortal enters the King of Temptation’s body through his hand.
-There’s a name that suits a greedy person like you.
Arms and legs sprout and wounds on the body heal. The Six Paths Immortal continues speaking.
-You are a demon from today. You will become the third apostle and the third elder. I will supplement your lacking strength. I will fill your lacking world. Raise your head. And kneel.
The king of greed, no, the devil, as if possessed by something, stood up from his seat with his hands on the ground and then knelt down.
The Six Paths Sage covered the demon’s face with his other hand.
-My child, let us rip out the throats and tear out the limbs of the ascendants who are hiding behind the ‘Story of the Stars’.
A smile appears on the lips of the Six Paths Sage.
-You will be with me at the moment when I skewer their bodies and shout the victory bell.
It was strange.
Strangely enough, the demon couldn’t remember the faces of the Six Paths Immortals.
Even though I’ve definitely experienced those moments, and even though the memories of those times are still vivid in my mind, I can’t remember a single face of the Six Paths Sage.
I remember laughing. But why can’t I remember what it looked like?

Why on earth?
I must be his child.
Why on earth?
The child abandoned in the middle of the Aguido Island cried.
And in front of him.
A man arrives.
The devil raised his head. The man frowned as if he found it ridiculous.
“This kid is so old now and he’s still whining.”
Before I could even say anything.
Paaaaaaaah-!!
Jin Shihou’s foot struck Agui’s face.
* * *
Lazarus and Langwei walked in silence.
We were originally the type to not talk much to each other, and we weren’t that close, so we had nothing to talk about, but that wasn’t the reason now.
The two men looked around constantly.
There were huge numbers of corpses piled up around.
Just a moment ago, these two men were each fighting a monster.
It was a monster of nature.
The one Lazarus faced was a monster whose entire body was made of poison, and even though its body was blown up and its head was destroyed, it continued to regenerate.
Exactly 44 times.
Lazarus tore the monster to pieces 44 times, and thus killed it.
Langwei’s case was similar.
Langwei also killed the monster in front of him 44 times before the monster’s regeneration ended.
And now, these corpses piled up around the two men were clearly the same type of monsters the two men had just confronted.
But the numbers are too many.
It took about 10 minutes, so at least 2,000.
There were a whopping two thousand dead monsters.
I swallowed hard.
This was why the two men remained silent.
A man who would do something like this? Is there more than one?
It’s Jin Shihou.
Jin Shihou is definitely strong. Although I fully understand that fact in my head, looking at this scene now, I feel a cognitive dissonance.
Is this even possible?
Even though he has defeated all the apostles, Jin Shihou has not revealed his limits. Do you predict the limits of Jin Shihou’s power? Perhaps there is nothing more meaningless than that.
I was astonished. This is truly awe-inspiring.
The two men slowly stopped in their tracks.
The two men were looking at the same place.
There, lying on the floor, was the third elder demon, and the face of that demon.
There was Jin Shi-hoo who would just kick it away like a soccer ball.
* * *
I’m annoyed. Not just a little bit, maybe a lot.
As I suspected, this area development was not an ordinary area development.
It is a huge space that someone had already created in the past, and someone else has remodeled it to suit their taste.
Size? I don’t know.
It would probably be at least as big as Anseong in Gyeonggi Province.
And in a place of that size, there are probably tens of thousands of irrational monsters that have reached the natural world.
There were tens of thousands of them all rushing at me, and I killed all of them.
The irritation came during this process.
It didn’t die all at once.
It keeps replaying, exactly 44 times.
I don’t know what the 44 means, but you have to kill 44 times to finish regeneration.
But in what year did you catch them one by one and kill them 44 times and then sit down?
So, I first compressed the energy and then rotated it.
You can think of it as a kind of mixer. You put monsters into that mixer.
After killing the monsters that were visible, I arrived in front of the demon.
The guy was sitting there muttering something that was not his fault, and seeing him like this made my annoyance turn into anger.
Even the dragging is ongoing.
It’s driving me crazy.
So I hit him. Cool.
Paaaaaaaah-!
The bastard flies away, spraying blood. I walk towards him and turn my head for a moment.
I ended up laughing.
“Are you here too?”
It was Lazarus and Langwei. Judging from their bloody clothes, it seemed like they had been through quite a bit on their way here.
Lazarus answered.
“… … Yes, I didn’t mean to, but that’s what happened.”
He nodded roughly.
“Just rest there for a bit. It’ll be over soon. By the way, do you have anything to drink?”
Langwei took a water jug out of his inventory and threw it at me.
After accepting it, I drank it straight up. Haha.
good night.
Then he turned his head to the side. The demon’s fist grazed his nose. He raised his knee and struck.
Pfft-!!
“Coolook-!”
I threw the lid of the water jug at the rising demon, spitting out blood.
The lid flew away and hit the ogre’s body, and immediately.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!!
It exploded with a tremendous noise.
I’ve never personally seen a missile explode, but I’d imagine that’s what happens when a missile explodes.
I drank all the water in the bottle.
