SSS-Class Suicide Hunter Chapter 126

Episode 126 < Demonic landscape. (2) >

——————==

The moment I saw Lefanta Aegim’s eyes, I was speechless for a moment.

‘What are you doing with your eyes like that?’

I have met all kinds of people so far. I met someone who wielded a sword colder than the snowy field. I met someone who had a heart colder than silver. However, the look in the eyes of the man in front of me was something I had never seen before.

A white sheet of paper.

Beyond not containing any emotions – eyes that didn’t even contain any memories. There was not even a trace, let alone a fragment of emotion.

“uh… .”

[ Twinkle is touched by the meeting of people we haven’t seen in a very long time!]

When I hesitated about what to answer, the Holy Sword reacted first.

[However, Twinkle still does not understand why her former owner betrayed her. Before I get emotional, I wonder if I should be consumed by anger!]

“… … “You have a unique sword.”

Lefanta Aegim looked down at my waist. There, his holy sword was trembling, violently expressing his intention. There was a hint of curiosity in Lefanta Aegim’s expressionless eyes.

“Is it a magic sword? Or is it the ego sword? … It’s best to hide the fact that you have unusual items here as much as possible, stranger. “There are many hyenas targeting the skills and equipment of beginners who have just entered the 50th floor.”

‘what?’

I was puzzled.

It was strange. Lefanta Aegim’s tone was as if she was seeing the [Guardian Goddess] for the first time. If the young man in front of her was truly a murderer, there was no way she could not see through the identity of this holy sword.

“hey. “Could it be that you don’t recognize this sword?”

I unclasped the main holy sword from my waist and showed it to Lefanta Aegim. When I slightly pulled out the hilt of the sword, a bright light flowed from the blade like a shine.

“hmm.”

however.

Lefanta Aegim faced the light of the holy sword and the sign of the constellation that he once used as his limbs… He narrowed his eyes as if he knew nothing.

“I don’t know.”

The statuesque face was tilted to the side.

“Looking at it, it seems like an item that has something to do with me. I don’t remember. …No, it would be wiser not to expect any past ties from me.”

“yes?”

And Lefanta Aegim said something unexpected to me.

“I have amnesia. gentile. “I don’t remember anything from more than a week ago.”

The man had a calm expression.

3.

-It’s dangerous to continue talking in a wasteland like this. Follow me. I know a relatively safe bar.

Lefanta Aegim said and guided me. Since it was my first time setting foot on the 50th floor, I calmly accepted his guidance.

“hey… .”

“Look over there. “It’s the Constellation Killer.”

On the way to the bar, I ran into some hunters. Perhaps all of them are hunters who are idle in this world. But even those hunters took a step back, shaking their shoulders when they saw the Constellation Killer.

“What the crazy guy is going to do again… .”

“Are the spiders of the Magic Tower going to be quiet today?”

“Shh. It’s better not to have anything to do with that guy… .”

It wasn’t just hunters who were whispering.

[The ‘lonely seeker’ is interested in someone he has never seen before.]

[‘The eyes that dwell in the labyrinth’ show caution to the Constellation Killer’s companion.]

[‘The Warhorse of the Eternal Plains’ recognizes you.]

[‘The lotus flower reflected in the water’s surface’ is observing you.]

Numerous constellations.

The constellations I have encountered so far have been limited. Other than the ruler of each floor, there was no constellation trying to contact me. However, does this also change from the 50th floor? Constellations I had never heard of before suddenly revealed their presence.

“… … bothered.”

Lefanta Aegim also seemed to have sensed the constellations’ message and muttered coldly.

“Everyone go away. If there is a constellation that remains and is bothering me, I will find its apostle and kill it starting today. If you want war, keep talking. It is the last warning.”

As Lefanta Aegim muttered, the constellations’ message suddenly cut off. The air that bound us around became lighter.

“It’s louder than usual. Sigh….”

Lefanta Aegim sighed softly and looked at me.

“It seems like there are some people who are interested in you. Stranger, have you done something to the constellations?”

“uh. “I once killed an apostle who followed [Warhorse of the Eternal Plains].”

“… … “The Apostle of Mahos?”

Lefanta Aegim’s tone changed. He took out an old notebook from his pocket, read something, and then arched his eyebrows in surprise.

“It’s a lot better than it looks. Without exception, all of Mahos’ apostles are excellent at inaction. Plus, it has annoying protection. It must have been a difficult opponent… “How did you kill him?”

“I have something to say about that too.”

We went into a bar.

The place that Lefanta Aegim described as a ‘relatively safe bar’ was, to put it bluntly, an open-air bar. There was no wall. There were only tables and a bar outside. The area was wide open, but funny enough, the door was left standing there.

“…Is this a safe bar?”

“The view is not blocked by walls.”

Lefanta Aegim calmly mentioned the advantages of this bar.

“Even if we are attacked at any time, we can retreat. There is no risk of being trapped in a terrorist attack on the entire building. The downside is that it makes it easier to get sniped. “Master, give me what I always drink.”

“hey. Do you know that since the building was blown down because of you, the store has been open-air… ?”

The bald bartender muttered a curse. Lefanta Aegim sat calmly at the table.

“sorry. “I don’t remember.”

“Hey, young man. I don’t know what’s going on, but don’t get involved with that crazy guy. There are over 600 hunters around here who are trying to kill him. “Don’t get involved unless you want to commit suicide.”

Lefanta Aegim took out his notebook again.

“To be exact, 1,127 people. There are only three hunters who can actually threaten me. One of them went missing 154 years ago and has not been heard from since. Strictly speaking, a stranger would be safer with me than without me.”

“Crazy guy… .”

The bald bartender looked fed up.

Apparently, the Constellation Killer is famous for being a jerk on the 50th floor.

“So, what do you have to say to me?”

“… … “I’m a bit embarrassed to hear that you have amnesia.”

I slowly told him what I had experienced so far.

That the Aegim Empire you founded was almost destroyed. The cause of the destruction is none other than the fact that you sealed the [Guardian Goddess] and gave the [Demon King of Autumn Rain] a chance to grow.

Because of what you did, [The Annals of the Heavenly Demon] was destroyed, and [Sormwin Academy Story] was also in danger… .

I told you everything.

“…….”

Lefanta Aegim listened to my voice attentively while drinking an unidentifiable red drink. There was no change in his expression as the story continued. Occasionally I just take out my notebook and check something.

“…indeed.”

Lefanta Aegim nodded.

“I listened to your story carefully. And after verifying it through your diary, I believe that most of what you said is true.”

“A diary?”

“It’s a warehouse where I store my memories.”

Lefanta Aegim showed the notebook.

There were letters written all over it.

“It may look like an ordinary notebook, but even so, it is a relic of the constellation called [The Great Dog]. It has infinite space and a convenient search function. I write down here what I do every day. Thanks to this, I suffer from amnesia. “I can’t lose my life.”

“…….”

“As you said.”

Lefanta Aegim said bluntly.

“It is said that in the past, I built a country called the Aegim Empire.”

As if it were ‘someone else’s’ story.

“There, I sealed the constellation [Guardian Goddess] who had been with me all my life. The world called [Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon] that you mentioned is similar to the world recorded on page 236. There, he killed the [Yellow Dragon staying in the Great Lake]. The world called [The Story of Sormwin Academy] is similar to the place recorded on page 3215.”

“…….”

“The fragment of the Goddess Gabor… Did you say the sacrificial sword was passed down? surely. I once slept with a woman in that world. There is a high possibility that the woman you met, Raviel Ivansia, is a distant descendant of that woman and me. She said she had silver hair like me… It’s probably true. “It’s a coincidence.”

Something.

“You might have skills like [Revealing Dark History] or [Historian], so you could have read my past.”

Something is wrong.

“For me, there is no past to read. There is no possibility that this relic was stolen and read. Because it is written in a code that only I can understand. Hence, the Gentiles. “I accept that all your testimony is true.”

I came to blame the man in front of me.

Innocent people have been harmed because of your petty beliefs. I have come to confidently say that countless people have been sacrificed.

But what is this?

“so.”

How can you ask about a sin you don’t even remember?

“What reward do you want from me?”

Anger began to build in my heart.

“What reward?”

“This is a reward for pointing out my mistakes.”

“… “Do you know what you did wrong?”

“of course.”

The Constellation Killer said.

“My fault is twofold. First, they did not consider the possibility of a new constellation being born again in a world where a constellation had disappeared. The second is that they downplayed the fact that a dead constellation could place a curse on the world.”

I am.

“Is that all?”

“It was intentional that the death of the Constellation could cause the Constellation to invade from another world. No matter how many worlds a constellation rules, it will ultimately end if that constellation is killed. There is no problem in reducing the number of constellations. Therefore, my mistakes are limited to the two things mentioned above.”

After finishing speaking, the Constellation Killer took out a pen and scribbled something in his notebook.

“Entered. The same error will not occur in the future. “To express my gratitude for this advice, I offered a reward.”

advice.

Thank you.

“The common people who lived in Gangho turned into Gangsi and died.”

I flinch.

The Holy Sword, which was sitting on my belt and quietly listening to our conversation, trembled once.

The anger rising from my heart pierced my voice.

“Among them, there was an old man who launched a boat and drowned himself even when he was dying, saying he did not want to trouble others. “There was an open child who struggled to survive until the end and took care of children his age.”

“…….”

“Each one was a terrible death. Let’s ask something, Constellation Killer. What do you think about that?”

“nothing.”

Lefanta Aegim said.

“As I said, it was definitely my fault for not taking care of the Constellation until after his death. But mistakes are bound to happen. As I said, compensation for correcting that mistake is all I can do.”

“under.”

The red aura surrounding my body became a little darker.

“Then, as compensation, if I ask you to die here, will you die?”

“That is a reward that cannot be given.”

The silver-haired man shook his head.

“I have a duty to eradicate all constellations. Until I fulfill that duty, I must continue to operate.”

It was more like a machine. Glitter trembled.

I am.

“That is a truly great duty. Why have you taken on such an obligation?”

“I can’t answer.”

“This is something I expected again. Why? “Are you afraid I won’t understand that noble duty?”

“I can’t answer that either.”

“Oh, yes.”

I coldly glared at the Constellation Killer.

“Then can you at least answer this? If you say you need to eradicate the Constellation, why are you using the Holy Relics of the Constellation? “It doesn’t seem to fit together.”

“That’s an answerable question. “We plan to eradicate and then destroy all constellations.”

“You learned from the Demon Lord of Autumn Rain that even if you kill a constellation, a constellation can be created again. “What are you going to do about that?”

“I have thoughts on that.”

“What is it?”

“I can not say.”

The Constellation Killer looked at the diary.

“The story is getting too long. “Let’s go back to the main topic.”

“This is my main topic.”

“Not for me. “Tell me the reward.”

compensation.

“Like I said before, I can’t let you die. “My duty has not yet been completed, and this is why it cannot be established as compensation.”

Perhaps he was reading the words written on the first page of the diary.

“I can’t quit. “I have abandoned my duty and am nothing anymore.”

The first page he wrote before he lost all his memories.

“So tell me what other rewards you have. “I will listen.”

“…….”

okay.

There aren’t many things in the world that end in conversation.

I reached for the dagger, but stopped midway. Instead, he took out the handkerchief that had been folded in his arms. I briefly buried my nose in the handkerchief that had Raviel’s blue scent on it.

hmm.

“… … great.”

The anger subsided.

I started thinking furiously. How can I [hunt] the hunter in front of me – a hunter who is incomparably more powerful than me?

My mind soon came up with an answer.

“Then, please do me a favor.”

It’s simple.

This isn’t the first time I’ve hunted a stronger hunter than myself.

“Something?”

“Please protect me [no matter what happens while I’m on the 50th floor].”

I put my handkerchief in.

“I’m not just asking you to protect your life. Please strictly protect my body and mind from damage. Of course, the trick of forcing me to vacate the 50th floor is prohibited.”

“… … Are you asking me to protect you?”

“It’s similar.”

The Constellation Killer was lost in thought.

He grabbed the fountain pen and tapped it on the table.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking. After listening to your story so far, I see that you are an extremely just human being. Not only is he just, but he is also armed with force and intelligence. “What I just suggested doesn’t fit your personality.”

“aha. Are you saying you can’t do me a favor?”

I scoffed.

“I can’t even die. He said he couldn’t even give up his duty. Now you can’t even listen to my request to protect me on the 50th floor? That’s amazing. you. “Then what kind of compensation can you give me?”

“… … “I’m just concerned about what pitfalls may be lurking in your proposal.”

“If there’s a trap, what? You seemed confident in your skills. “Do your best to break through.”

“…….”

Lefanta Aegim looked down at the diary intently.

“i get it.”

He moved the fountain pen. Sigh, swoosh. His hand touched the diary.

“Write your suggestion on page 1. “Until my existence ends, your suggestions will become the logic of my thoughts and actions and will move me.”

okay.

I got caught.

‘Geomje nobleman.’

I looked back at Bae Hu-ryeong.

-ok?

‘I heard that the magic tower over there was destroyed 150 years ago.’

The background caught my eye as soon as I landed here.

Bae Hu-ryeong had said this, pointing to the spiers soaring in the gray sky.

『Originally, they had six towers?』

『But I destroyed one of them.』

『They’ll probably be thrilled if they find out that I came back as a ghost.』

Bae Hu-ryeong nodded.

-It did. There are many things in my life that I feel I have done well, and among them, I have done so well that it ranks among the top six.

‘What did you say when you broke it down? ‘Do you remember?’

-Oh oh. carrot! I remember it without making a single mistake.

Bae Hu-ryeong laughed heartily.

-Hello, sick people? Sometimes I have to ventilate my life, but if I stay in my room all the time like you, it’s not good for people. Well, here’s the feeling! I’ll remodel it for free today! LOL.

Bae Hu-ryeong recalled the glory of the past and suddenly tilted his head.

-But why is that? What are you going to do?

I turned my gaze to the spire.

Stare.

Slurp.

-uh? hey? Are you a zombie?

Bae Hu-ryeong spoke from the side.

-Don’t look there? Even if it is detected if you look at it for more than 23 seconds? I will never be able to handle those guys at your current level. Or what? Are you asking them to get rid of the Constellation Killer? Arthur. They won’t rush at a guy with a sharp tip like the Constellation Killer. It’s a loss to both sides.

I continued to look at the towering spires in the distance.

-Huh? uh? Hey, Kim Zombie! Are you telling me to look away right now?!

But it was already too late.

“iced coffee. Microphone test. Microphone test. “Who are you over there, asking me questions?”

An electric sound rang in my head.

As Bae Hu-ryeong pointed out, the spire sensed my presence.

“Looking at you, you look like a kid who hasn’t even taken off his beginner t-shirt yet. Since it is still your first offense, I will look into it. If you are planning on living in this neighborhood in the future, don’t look at this place. “It is possible to lose.”

A voice full of boredom. Someone spoke like a civil servant who was showing that he didn’t want to work.

“Oh, you’re with that crazy guy in the constellation? Giggling. Bad luck too. How can I help you? “Right now, I can send you an instant escape scroll with a 30-year dependency contract, right?”

“hi.”

I opened my mouth.

“You sick people.”

“Oh? Has Gantteug killed this seedling now? Where…? .」

“You have to ventilate sometimes, but it’s not good for people to stay in their rooms all the time like you guys.”

「……」

“Now, this is how I feel. I’ll remodel it for free today. LOL.”

silence.

There was complete silence.

-Mom.

Bae Hu-ryeong just muttered absently.

-This crazy idiot?

It was that moment.

Kiiiiiiiig!

A tearing noise erupted from all five spiers. It was as if the claws of five fingers were scratching the sky. Clink! The bald bartender was startled and dropped his glass. Hunters walking down the street also covered their ears.

“W-what?!”

“What’s happening now…” … ”

and.

-Geomjesssss!!

A huge voice echoed in the gray sky.

-You’re back, Geomje! I knew you would come back someday! Even when all the constellations announced your death, we had no doubt that you were a son of a bitch who would never die even if you died! Are you possessed? Reincarnation? done! Anyway, it doesn’t matter!

All the hunters were dumbfounded and looked up at the sky.

-Kill it! We’ll kill you at least! I will rip your soul to pieces, scatter it all over the world, and poop on it! Kill it! Kill it!! Kill that guy right now! Put the name and history of the Magic Tower on the line and chase that guy all the way to hell!

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of shadows rose from the spire.

They all stood in formation in the sky, all on broomsticks.

“Ego.”

I looked back at the Constellation Killer.

The silver-haired man looked at me with an expressionless face.

“You promised, right?”

“…….”

“Please protect me.”

A meteor shower poured down from the sky.

etc,
