Episode 187 < Chlorine (炎fire). (2) >
3.
The sound of drums echoes in a dark space.
Duung…
No, it’s not the sound of drums. ridge. It appears to be footsteps, but since no one is moving their feet, they are not footsteps either. Boom. ridge. ridge. The actors who were already on the isolated stage – one-eyed, one-armed, one-eared – turned their heads in the direction from which the sound came.
There I am.
I crawl off the stage with my whole body on fire.
-Wagar… .
Emperor Yan.
The actors shake their shoulders.
-Car… .
-K.
-Carcasa… .
Fearful trembling. Capturing the vibrations in their entirety, the actors whisper among themselves like snakes immersed in the shadows.
-pee.
-lakh.
-cloud.
It is not the language of today. A long time ago, there was a time when acorns were gathered under primitive trees. The actors whisper in whispers from a time when voices and speech were not yet distinguishable. pee. lakh. cloud. pee. lakh. cloud.
-…….
The audience suddenly closed their mouths due to the disturbing whispers.
The hobgoblins could not understand the language their ancient ancestors muttered.
But I just don’t understand.
The audience held their breath. The green-skinned beasts could feel the ominousness and anxiety that their vocal cords radiated most naturally.
-pee.
-lakh.
-cloud.
The actors are circling around me, scared. pee. With each step they take, my aurors resonate and play music. lakh. When the pace slows down, the music also slows down. cloud. As the footsteps get closer to me, the music gradually becomes more intense.
-Wagar.
My flame spreads across the dark stage.
[Yes.]
I am on all fours like a beautiful wild animal.
[I am the Flame Emperor.]
A growling moan flows from the mouth.
The actors who were approaching stopped and startled.
[I am the fire of the world.]
The voice transforms into an auror.
An animal-like growl escapes from its mouth.
[I am a successful person.]
The stage floor shakes, and the air in the black audience trembles.
Bloody Auror.
The melody is strange and the rhythm is strange. Sh-rak-gur. Mysterious music rings. Sh-rak-gur. The audience sitting in the front row shrugged their shoulders in disgust at the ridicule that insulted the world and ridiculed people.
[Envy me. Be jealous. Worship.]
What came out of my mouth was, at most, hissing, hissing, and the sound of my tongue lashing out. There is no need to say anything more than that. I do not speak with words, but speak with auras.
[The world is just firewood to burn me a little more.]
pee.
[I find your jealousy annoying. Because I want you to recognize my annoyance. A fire cannot burn alone. You, insignificant beings, will have to become endless firewood and dwell around me.]
lakh.
[I laugh at my success. Therefore, we laugh even louder at you who do not succeed. I mock your interest. Therefore, we ridicule you who do not receive attention even louder.]
cloud.
[I am a humble person.]
[I look at everything with indifferent eyes. I look at life with a calm face. Even my success loses its heat before my eyes. However, because I am more successful than anyone else, I constantly remind you of my success.]
[Indifferent eyes.]
[With a calm face.]
[So your success is not success. Your hard work is worthless because you are not successful. From your greatest hardship to your smallest success, everything is insignificant and insignificant before Me.]
Take a step forward.
The fire burns.
The actors are shocked and disperse. He ran away.
-Wagar!
My teeth are grinning.
[You guys act like people.]
[But there is only one person in the world.]
[The only person’s name is ‘me’.]
The fire grows stronger and burns.
Flames engulf the stage and engulf the audience.
-Heek
Moans are heard from among the audience.
Some audience members instinctively developed auras to counter my fire.
I laugh deeper – the music rings louder.

[Only I am human.]
My flames simply grab the audience’s aura and twist it.
Then, the six-pronged flame gently caresses the audience’s neck.
-……, Wook…….
The audience sitting in the front row convulsed. Did you say he was the 21st ranked warrior? He squinted his eyes and broke into a cold sweat.
The theater is already hell.
[I introduce my success and say, ‘It’s nothing.’]
[Then what are you who have not achieved anything?]
[Not even nothing.]
[It will be nothing but dust.]
The sound of the Flame Emperor’s laughter.
The Emperor’s arm movements.
He looks back at the stage with a flame-like smile.
The one-eyed actor, Arika, who made eye contact with me, flinched.
[I love animals with their delicate fur exposed.]
Run away.
One-eyed Arika screams and runs away.
[Innocence of believing in someone. The innocence that reveals itself.]
[These are soft enough to swallow in one bite!]
Flames appear where Arika is trying to escape.
The one-eyed Arika huffs, turns and runs away.
I block him once again with a curtain of fire.
It chases down prey.
-Please save me!
Arika gapes.
It just squeaks, but doesn’t actually make a sound.
Just as you can make sound with an aura, you can also block it.
I catch Arika’s scream midway and crush it.
[Why are you running away?]
-Please save me! please… .
[Do not run away. I am your father.]
Arika shouts until she is hoarse.
-please! Save me, don’t kill me… . Don’t kill me… !
But his voice does not reach the audience.
When looking from the audience, Arika just opens her mouth miserably and struggles.
-…….
The audience held their breath and watched the silent ending.
[Baby.]
He wanders over and approaches Arika.
[I will not hurt you.]
Traps Arika with a curtain of fire.
By pushing hard, we narrow our range of maneuver.
Arika sits down like a child trapped in a small, single room.
-Don’t kill me… .
[Okay.]
-please… .
A one-eyed child sheds tears.
-Please save me, Mom… .
at that time.
He opens his mouth and bites Arika’s neck.
My fangs don’t dig into my skin.
Instead, the Auror cuts into the flesh with murderous intent.
-Ahhhh!
Arika struggles.
Crying out in pain.
I no longer muffle the sound. A scream erupts, leaving the theater to echo.
-Ahh! Argh!
The audience, who had only watched the struggle in silence until now, flinched at the sudden scream. A death that could not be considered ‘acting’ was happening before their eyes.
-what….
-Um, that… .
Some swallowed. Some groaned. Some people in the back row actually got mistaken and got up from their seats and ran out of the theater. However, most of the audience was entranced by the flames and stared blankly at the stage.
[I am the fire of the world.]
The hunting never stops.
In the middle of hell.
I become a blood-drunk beast, running for my next victim.
One-armed Yumar and one-eared Sakum scream and run away.
-help me!
Music flows.
-They’re chasing me! A monster is chasing you!
I am not at fault.
If there is anything wrong with me, it is the fault of the world that gave me birth. It’s the world’s fault for making me like this.
People just bend and flow according to the curved shape of the world.
We tend to live the way we were created, so where is my fault in that?
[Let’s dance!]
Shh, rak, gur.
[The whole world is my stage!]
pee. lakh. cloud.
[You should not blame me. I am also like you. Like you, we are merely beings created by the world.]
[I’m just stronger than you.]
[It is a law of nature that the weak are eaten by the strong. Isn’t it you who are to blame, not me but the world?]
A dazzling flame.
I become wild and run around.
Spit fire as much as you want and pick your teeth as much as you want.
-Ahh!
One-armed Yumar falls. Defeat the one-eyed Sakum.
Okay. They are beasts.
To humans, animals are nothing more than meat, so this is not murder, but mere slaughter.
Duung!
The sound of the drums becomes louder.
Duung!
Blood-red flames burn the theater.
Even after all three actors have fallen, my roar shows no signs of stopping. pee! lakh! cloud! The audience trembled. Trembling, I watched the Auror’s dance moves sizzle on the stage.
-town……!
One young audience member fainted. He fell onto the shoulder of the person next to him, foaming, and the person next to him was unable to help because his whole body was frozen.
Duung!
It was the moment when the music finally reached its peak.
A group of people violently opened the theater doors and poured in.
-Stop everything! It is a security force under the Fire River Council!
The great hobgoblins swarmed around the audience.
-Power, stop! Power stop!
-We were dispatched after receiving reports that mass killings and arson were taking place here! Anyone who ignores the warning and moves will be arrested as an impure member! That became the starting point.
The air, which had been pulled taut with tension, broke like a pick or string.
Only then did the audience manage to exhale the breath they had been holding until now.
-omg
-Huh… Uh, huh… !
The audience sat down as if something were falling apart in various places.
I lost my back strength and slipped off the seat.
“hmm.”
I, too, broke my immersion and looked at the security guards with my eyebrows furrowed. I don’t know how serious the report was before they invaded, but the hobgoblins from the security force were on guard in all directions.
-Do the rescue first!
-Where is the arsonist!?
-There is someone who collapsed on the stage!
Hobgoblins rushed towards the actors. Arika the one-eyed, Yumar the one-armed, and Sakum the one-eared. When they saw three people lying on the stage, they mistook them for ‘dead people.’
Of course, there were no deaths in this performance.
-no… . wait for a sec.
-Boo, there’s no need to support him. I’m fine!
The actors stood up one by one, waving their hands.
-Are you hurt anywhere? What about the wound? Is your head okay?
-Uh, none! It’s totally fine!
-I heard that a mass murder is taking place here. Where did the criminal escape? Were you held hostage?
-what….
One-eyed Arika made a bewildered expression.
-What kind of massacre and hostages? Something like that has never happened.
One-armed Yumar screamed.
-We’re acting! You crazy people!
The security forces stopped.
-… performance?
-okay! They’re performing! This is our theater company! Extreme bullshit! This is a theater, and a play is in full swing!
-…….
For your information, I was detained by security guards who had some illusions. I could have released the restraint as much as I wanted, but I was so dumbfounded that I just obeyed.
The security guards slowly turned to me.
-I received a report that there was a fire… .
I nodded.
Hwareuk.
Aura bloomed from the tips of my fingers.
“He’s my Auror. “It resembles fire.”
-… … They say some beast bit innocent people to death.
“I played the role of the asshole, and the senior actors played the role of the sacrificial lamb. “Of course I took them down during the play.”
in other words.
“It seems like the acting was so realistic that someone reported it.”
-…….
Indeed, at this point even the security guards knew something was wrong. Embarrassment instead of vigilance, embarrassment instead of survival, appeared on the faces of the security guards.
The audience has already started to get excited.
-What.
-Who reported it? ?
The reaction quickly became more intense.
-What about the performance?
-It’s not like this, is it?
-What happened!
-Those idiotic police officers!
-Have you developed the habit of always coming and looking at me again?
Buzz.
As complaints were heard from all over, the look on the face of the person in charge of the security force rapidly worsened.
I approached the person in charge with a smile on my face.
“What should I do? lily. “I think today’s performance was ruined.”
-Uh… .
“sorry! Customers! Due to an unfortunate incident, today’s performance ended here! Following the police force’s [power stop] warning, our troupe’s bullshit has stopped! Everyone, please follow the instructions of the security forces and leave in an orderly manner. Oh, by the way… .”
I smiled broadly at the security guard.
“Are you responsible for refunds for performances?”
-…….
The audience exploded.
The city’s theater scene also exploded that day.
Because [the play was so realistic that it was reported].
etc,
