Episode 316 < I am a fan. (3) >
4.
The fight with the blood demon was truly reminiscent of the Sisan Blood Sea.
5.
I blinked.
“huh……?”
what. just now.
It may seem like eons have passed, or it may seem like only a moment has passed.
If humans had a sense of time, it would feel paralyzed for a moment. To give an example, I felt exactly like this when I received anesthesia to receive treatment from a pharmacist.
“Death King. Death King! Come to your senses, Death King!”
Before I knew it, I was lying down. It was difficult to even know when, why, and where I was lying.
Well, I don’t remember.
What is certain is the face of the person crying in front of you. The boy, the boy I was so familiar with, was holding both of my hands and clinging to them as if he were about to shed tears at any moment.
“Are you okay? “Are you awake?”
“This place… … .”
“Death King was injured while fighting a blood demon. While fighting cowardly one-on-one, the elites of the Blood Demon Cult joined in… .”
The boy wiped his tears on my sleeve. To add a bit of exaggeration, it felt like the suppressor in my eyes had broken.
Tears were flowing non-stop, and I became worried as I watched.
“fight… . wound… … .”
“Ah, if you move carelessly… !!”
The boy urgently stopped me as I tried to stand up.
“Your internal injuries are severe, Death King! You must get some rest now! My whole body is a mess… Bones are broken and internal organs are tattered… . “Just a little while ago, I was afraid that he would never open his eyes like this!”
It was that moment.
“—Ugh?!”
Just as the boy said, a sharp pain surged throughout my body. I tried to turn my auror to check his physical condition, but no! The airway was distorted. Wow! The pain of a barbed club piercing the inside of a blood vessel.
“Ugh, keuhuh… … ! eww… … .”
“ah. What should I do? Uh, what should I do? “Maybe it’s good.”
it hurts. I think I’m going to die. My eyes become watery. My cheeks are cool. Sensation evaporated from her fingertips. pain. Only pain remains. It feels like someone is peeling off my skin piece by piece, like peeling a tangerine.
There is no human being who can endure this kind of pain.
Only because I have died enough to die.
“iced coffee.”
In an instant.
Excited breathing sounded beyond my consciousness.
“Really, maybe it’s good… … ?”
Darkness.
“…….”
I opened my eyes.
As expected, it felt like a long time had passed, and it felt like I had just sighed.
The difference from before I lost my mind is that my mind has become somewhat clearer. And the boy is wearing an apron and is on his way carrying porridge on a tray?
“Oh, please do it. Confucius.”
“ah.”
The constellation scooped food into an empty bowl with an invisible spoon and fed it to me.
The boy scooped the porridge into a bowl with a wooden spoon and fed it to me.
“…….”
huh?
“How does it taste?”
The constellation looked expressionless.
The girl smiled lovingly.
“After a long time… I cooked Confucius’ favorite porridge.”
The constellation whispered.
The boy hesitated.
“Does it taste good?”
“…….”
The scent of anchovies wafted in my mouth.
When I was young, whenever I caught a cold, the director would gnaw on an apple. Then I boiled white rice porridge with small anchovies, and just as the taste of a chewed apple was different from the taste of an apple I usually ate, the taste of the rice porridge was also different from usual. The thinly swollen anchovies were not tasty, but if you kept chewing them, you could taste them, and they had a slightly savory taste.
“yes. “It’s delicious.”
“Ha, thank goodness.”
The constellation lifted the corners of its mouth and smiled.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
“It was a really big deal. I simply hoped that an enemy would appear to block Confucius’ path, but a powerful enemy appeared out of nowhere. Confucius seems to be thinking from the bottom of his subconscious that if he is not that strong, [he cannot stop himself].”
“yes?”
“yes?”
The Constellation spoke casually.
The boy tilted his head slightly.
“I didn’t say anything just now, Confucius?”
“…….”
“really. More than that, why were you so angry at the Blood Demon? A person who was polite even after being attacked suddenly got excited when he heard that they were a blood demon cult. Actually, he was a little surprised.”
“uh.”

I was out of my mind.
“Because I am the leader of a place called Demon Cult… … .”
“aha.”
“I attach meaning to the two letters of the Demonic Church. I think it’s a name that shouldn’t be called carelessly. “The thought of a city government official recklessly talking about an organization similar to a demonic cult made me very angry.”
“indeed. indeed.”
The constellation rested its chin and looked at me blankly.
The girl nodded with attentive eyes.
“In other words, that is Confucius’s vice… ?”
hmm.
“I’m curious about a place called Demon Bridge. If it means so much to you, there must have been someone special to you. “Could you tell me the story of Confucius?”
…….
“aha. You had a teacher. Her name is So Baek-hyang. “It’s lonely, but clear, so I think it’s a scent that fills your nose.”
…….
“You love someone named Raviel Ivansia. Hey, are you that beautiful? iced coffee. indeed. So no matter how hard I tried, I never made it into the beauty world. Be in trouble. Becoming a loving person is the easiest and most powerful way. For a being with a seal embedded in its heart to this extent, even twisting it would only have the opposite effect. Be scared. Be afraid. “You have to be careful.”
what.
“… … “Did I say something just now?”
“yes? no.”
The constellation touched my cheek.
The boy smiled brightly.
“You’re not saying anything to Confucius?”
is it.
It did.
“But the existence of the Sword Emperor is a bit of a hindrance. Bae Hu-ryeong? Because that was attached to me, it probably took a long time for me to be possessed by my power. What should I do… ? If you get rid of it, you will be too far removed from the current Confucius. I can’t help it. yes. “I’m a little tired, but I’ll touch you both.”
Whick!
An arrow flew in front of my eyes.
-Hey, Kim Zombie! What are you doing!
Bae Hu-ryeong shouted as if he was dumbfounded.
-You’re so distracted during a fight, are you already such a badass that you can eat the sky, so you just let down your guard and sit back!?
ah.
yes.
We were currently in the process of attacking the Blood Demon Cult’s stronghold and eliminating the enemies.
because… … How did I end up attacking this place?
“Confucius!”
I raised my head in the direction the voice came from.
“It’s here!”
girl.
I happened to encounter it in the forest fifteen days ago, and although it was once a constellation, it has now lost all its power, and the Demonic Cults, including the Thirteen Great Evils, reside on the 60th floor. In this stage, there are not only the Blood Demon Cult, but also the God Demon Cult, the White Demon Cult, the Gwangmag Cult, and the so-called Four Demons.
There is.
They all want to kidnap that boy and misuse him.
Like a magic tower.
Since I was lying in a hospital bed a few days ago, I had no choice but to watch as the girl was kidnapped.
Because that is something I absolutely cannot tolerate.
“help… … !”
My eyes widened at the boy’s scream. Yes. What is there to hesitate? Deep in the fortress, a girl is chained to her pillar.
Whether he lived for thousands of years or was a constellation, that child is delicate now. It is a delicate being. Someone has to protect it. That someone just became me.
“yes. “You awaken like that.”
Beyond my mind. No, the bottom of consciousness. A faint voice rang out from perhaps the highest sky.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
“I’m looking for a boy.”
I answered firmly. Did you answer? no. Countless arrows flew from the fortress-like citadel, and I struck them down with great difficulty. Because, uh, because… .
“You have not yet fully recovered from the internal injuries you sustained in the fight with the Blood Demon. But are you really planning to save the boy?”
“yes.”
“Then the blood demon comes out and asks this. [It’s so absurd that you’re thinking of confronting us with such a rag-tag body. Are you wishing for death?] The Blood Demon also appears to have been injured in the last bloody battle, but… . There are hundreds of trustworthy subordinates around him… .”
“…….”
“ah. Unbelievable. In the end, an arrow flies and lodges in your thigh.”
Throbbing.
Pain rose up from my thighs. It hurt. I almost fell to her knees.
“What should I do? Are you swinging your sword again?”
The constellation slowly stroked my thigh.
The boy cried and cried out for me.
“… … “Yes.”
“really? “If this continues, I might really die, right?”
The constellation giggled.
The boy cried.
“The arrows continue to hit you, covering the sky.”
“I avoid it.”
“Yes, you are strong. Your aurors can cover the sky and block the rain of arrows. But at that moment, the internal injuries you suffered begin to suffer again.”
Ujikkeun!
The pain of my bones being torn apart spread throughout my body.
“Ugh.”
“Are you sick?”
“Big. Ugh! shit… … !”
“I’ll ask again. “Are you sick?”
“Damn… … Hey, bastards. Insolent. “It’s the quality of the bow.”
“I will ask you one last question. Death King. Where, how, and how much does it hurt? Please answer me. “I would be happy if you could answer.”
pain.
“body.”
Like riding, no.
It’s actually burning.
Now, my body needs to rest and purify for a while. It is my blood vessel and airway, but I have pushed my aura beyond its limits and overworked it, so my body is burning with my aura. Originally, the bones, blood vessels, muscles, and nerves should be protected first with the Aura before using the Aura. In the current situation, I don’t have the power to protect myself.
“Tsk…….”
The veins throbbed and burst. As it exploded, it burned all my muscles as if lava had flowed out. As the aura pooled in the bloodstream, the bones melted.
“oh my god.”
The Constellation was delighted to see my suffering.
The girl cried as she saw my pain.
“How can it be like this… .”
My breath was harsh.
“You can imagine [the pain] well, right?”
“Ugh, huh. Sigh… … “Ugh.”
“Did I just tell you that I was hit by an arrow? Confucius. I simply presented the situation you would face if I were kidnapped and you came to rescue me. But how… … “How can you imagine it so realistically?”
“It’s amazing,” someone seemed to mutter.
“amazing. If you do this, it will be as if you have really experienced [a painful death]… ? That can’t be possible. This can’t be happening. How can you imagine? Have you ever felt your bones melt? Have you ever lost all your veins? How on earth can you know such pain and recreate it under my power? ?”
I moved forward despite the pain.
Arrows flew and got stuck in my shoulder and forearm. But I ignored it. Raising his auror to the limit, he stepped forward and cut down the group of blood demons who had tied the child to that pillar.
“Of course… .”
The constellation stretched out both hands and grabbed my cheek.
The boy sobbed as he was tied to a pillar.
“You are the person I have been waiting for for thousands of years.”
little bit more.
“A person who throws down his life for someone he met only a few days ago, who faces pain worse than death, and who does it not just out of words or out of ignorance, but who continues to move forward even though he knows what death and pain are… … .”
little bit more.
“You can imagine whatever quest I give you. If you say you are about to drown in the middle of the ocean, you will really fall into the ocean. I’m going to drown. It’s completely different from fawning over hunters—-you really imagine all the crises, all the pain, and all the deaths as they are. “I was just waiting for someone like you to come up.”
Finally.
My blade cut down the blood demon.
Blood splattered.
“You are my third believer.”
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■.]
“I will create a quest for you. We will continue the campaign. I will create a world where you can feel a sense of accomplishment and be happy. I will become a god just for you. There is only one thing I wish for. You trust me. Confucius.”
A bright smile emerged from the other side of the blood splatter.
“Can you trust me?”
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■ invites you to faith.]
[Would you like to invite ■■■■ ■■ ■■■ to your constellation?]
Darkness came before my eyes.
