Episode 244
a brilliant return
King Yulho’s gaze and Elric’s gaze mixed in the air.
There was a very brief silence.
Soon King Yulho raised the corners of his mouth.
That moment.
Faaah!
Elric seemed to suddenly lean back, then thrust his fist forward roughly.
Paaang!
With the sound of the air exploding, King Yulho appeared in front of Elric.
So close that you can even hear each other’s breathing.
With such a huge figure in front of him, Elric, who had a slim physique, looked small in comparison.
Elric’s fist barely grazed the side of King Yulho’s head.
King Yulho noticed that he would approach like this, so he established the Gyeong (勁) government in order to block it in advance.
“Hehehe. “I thought it would be different if we met again.”
A strange glow appeared in King Yulho’s eyes.
“It’s pretty good?”
“… !”
Elric pulled his arms inward and crossed them.
Before I knew it, King Yulho was swinging his enormous fist furiously in this direction.
Just by punching, he seemed strong enough to make you think that most battering rams would look ridiculous.
Kwaaaaang!
Elric’s body was pushed all the way back.
The power was so great that it left a long furrow in the brick floor, which was obviously strong.
With dust flying around.
Elric’s expression distorted as he tried to suppress the shock that shook his insides.
If I didn’t do this, it felt like the juice inside would come out.
“madam! Isn’t this a foul? “I lock up all my magical power, and the chief uses it all!”
“Oh, did you?”
King Yulho blinked as if he had no idea, and then burst into laughter.
“Well, what do you think? Are things in the world going your way? “Just move on.”
Elric gritted his teeth.
Crack!
I feel like I’m going to die of heat. Looking at that shameless face again made me feel angry inside again!
And, only then did I remember Elric.
King Yulho was originally a nobleman like that.
When we parted ways, it was such a heartbreaking breakup that the memories related to it were only glorified in the aftermath.
Actually, if you think about it, King Yulho did not have a very good personality.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that they forcibly locked out their magic power and made them suffer all the way here.
“by the way.”
King Yulho smiled lightly as he ran his hand through his hair. His eyes were full of longing.
“He’s the chief. “It’s been a while since I last called you a nickname.”
A smile that seems refreshing at first glance.
However, Elric’s severely distorted expression showed no signs of clearing up.
“Don’t act like you’re cool. Even if the Chief is not old now, he would be hundreds of years old. This means that everyone else is at an age where they would have already rotted into dust after being in a coffin. “Isn’t this kind of a bad thing even from the Chief’s perspective?”
“Hehehehe. Do you know what I missed most after leaving you?”
Crack, clap!
King Yulho laughed lightly and relaxed his neck.
Every time that happened, the momentum surrounding him grew stronger like a storm.
Elric also took a stance with a very nervous expression on his face.
“What is it?”
“That cheesy way of speaking. “Every time I got upset, I needed a punching bag.”
“It won’t work out the way you want. “I’ve changed a bit.”
“Oh, really?”
King Yulho curled the corners of his mouth.
“Me too.”
No sooner had those words ended.
Paaaaat!
King Yulho’s divine form caved in, and Elric took a deep breath and unleashed dragon blood.
Crumbling!
The underground cavity trembled violently with a huge shock wave.

『It’s a thought form.』
Mephisto was able to see exactly what King Yulho’s body was.
A kind of alter ego left behind by a being who has pioneered a certain level of greatness by physically embodying the data that makes up the self through imagination.
In other words, it meant that the King Yulho who remained here was the real King Yulho, but not King Yulho.
Perhaps the body was buried somewhere else by now?
‘or not… Either he became a true god.’

Mephisto glanced at the ceiling and then shook his head.
Anyway, that’s probably not the case. If becoming a god was that easy, both myself and Azazel would have already reached ‘godhood’.
anyway.
Elric and King Yulho’s thought form fought hard.
Of course, the result was Elric’s defeat.
How funny it was to see two snowballs covered in blue bruises.
『Fuhahaha.』
“… “Why don’t you laugh?”
『Puhahahahahaha!』
“Stop laughing!”
Mephisto was rolling around on the floor.
Originally, as the Great Demon King, he was careful not to do anything reckless, but he said he couldn’t bear it anymore.
『Hahahaha! The way you look now, out of all the things I have seen so far, it suits you best! Very cool… !』
“Damn it. 【Dance】.”
『Ugh! What is this!』
Mephisto screamed at the first handstand tap dance in a long time. As promised, didn’t we agree to never do something like this again?
However, the fan goal between Elric’s eyebrows showed no sign of being restored to its original state.
“The promised time has already ended?”
『Noooom! Solve this! I can’t wait to solve it!』
“【Be quiet】.”
“town! Ugh!』
When he was forced to practice silence, Mephisto was almost driven crazy.
Yet at the same time, I was embarrassed.
When did the magic come back? This area of space must still be filled with King Yulho’s thoughts.
However, Elric showed no sign of resolving Mephisto’s doubts.
He just pours out a lot of his anger towards King Yulho here.
“Who is that gentleman?”
Then, at the question King Yulho asked, Elric looked towards him with a slightly surprised face.
“uh? Can you see Mephie?”
“Is that strange?”
“A little bit.”
“I think it’s because this is my space.”
Elric nodded, but also felt that King Yulho did not look like a person at all.
Although his teacher, Augustine, could sense it to some extent, it was Mephisto that he could not directly see.
King Yulho did not find it difficult.
Mephisto’s opinion, which had been assumed to have reached the level of a demi-god during his lifetime, seemed to be more certain now.
“Anyway, I can’t believe our youngest has become this strong. Hehehe! I’m all in a good mood! This is why teachers are important. “Cancer, not like that.”
King Yulho was busy praising himself while nodding his head with his arms crossed.
Elric had a hard time saying what he wanted to say, but if he said it wrong, it could cause serious trouble, so he kept it quiet and asked.
“however… “You remember me?”
In response to Elric’s question, King Yulho blinked as if wondering what he was talking about, but later realized what he meant and chuckled.
“I know. “I found that really fascinating too.”
The arrangement that Elric experienced was clearly a virtual reality embodied in the world of images.
A reality that seemed ‘real’ but was not ‘real’.
That’s why Elric was so heartbroken when the arrangement was over.
Nevertheless, King Yulho remembered Elric accurately.
As if it was all real.
“It’s not just me.”
“yes? what… ?”
“Ralph, who growled whenever he saw you, the Black Wolf people who followed you around, and all the other Antromorphs. “I remembered you.”
“… !”
“There were traces left. The city we built. “Why was he there?”
Elric wanted to say that it made absolutely no sense.
The location where Antromorph was built. He only said that because he knew exactly where the real Antromorph was set up.
However, if it is as King Yulho said now, the relationship between order and follow-up, cause and effect, becomes mixed up.
But we can’t say what he said was a lie.
If it is true that traces of oneself remained in reality in the first place, then something absurd has happened.
‘Grandfather, what on earth have you done? ?’
Now it was difficult for Elric to guess exactly what the shadow of Usden was that he encountered at every corner of his path.
“Your head will hurt. It will be confusing. But what can you do? “I do that too.”
“Then you created this place.”
“I want to meet you again someday.”
“… .”
“Because I was curious. If you’re not curious about how you’ve been and how you’ve been since you left, where are you? No, does he have the right to be called a chief?”
Elric felt his heart sink slightly. Because it meant that even after so many years, she still considers him a brother.
“… “There’s no such thing as being thrilled or anything like that.”
“Puhaha! What are you going to do with being touched by a guy? “That is a requirement on my part as well.”
It was just a matter of words, but Elric felt that his heartache was relieved to some extent as he could clearly feel the warmth seeping into King Yulho’s harsh tone.
That was the reason why he came to King Yulho’s safe house.
I never thought that I would be able to meet King Yulho’s thought form in person like this, but I wanted to reflect on the memories as there would be many traces of him left behind.
‘So you’re saying that this place was built just for me?’
How much money and time did you waste?
Especially considering that the beast people absolutely hate magic, it was clear that all of this was created through pure manpower.
Should I say it’s amazing, or should I say it’s ignorant… .
Anyway, he was truly a great man.
Eat.
Still, I didn’t hate the fact that there was someone who remembered me and waited for me for such a long time.
After that, the two talked for a while.
Elric talks about his life.
King Yulho tells the story of Antromorph, who grew several times larger after Elric left.
“Eh? Ralph said that? “Is he that immature bastard?”
“That’s right. “Later, it wasn’t a joke because other tribe members made fun of him and said he was copying you.”
“Hahaha!”
After so much time has passed.
“uh? “It’s already been this long?”
Elric roughly estimated the time and made a shocked expression.
Then, I realized too late that Mephisto was still trapped in the hell of the handstand tap dance, and I lightly waved my hand and let him go. Hehe. Hehe. Looking at Mephisto sprawled on the floor, breathing heavily, she slowly got up from her seat, shaking off her butt.
“Are you going?”
“I have to go. “He sneaked out here too.”
“It’s a shame.”
“Iknow, right.”
Elric chuckled and looked around.
“How will this place be used after I leave?”
“Is there anything special? I’m just staying here as I have been all this time. “If there is someone who follows me all the way here, he will be used as a safe house.”
King Yulho’s explanation was that this space was not only used as a shelter, but also prepared for future generations through arrangement.
In the past, Elric would have been interested in what that ‘preparation’ meant, but after obtaining the magic report, he no longer had that desire.
To Mervinger what is Mervinger’s. Shouldn’t what belongs to the beast people remain with the beast people?
Even though the beastman tribe had not produced a worthy leader since King Yulho, there would still be a day when they would need it.
‘I think I could do it with a bell.’
Elric looked at King Yulho.
“Then what about the chief?”
“me? well. “I met you like this, just as I wanted, so I think we’ll just hang out here for a while until the other descendants come, and then disappear when the time is right.”
“Aren’t you tired of it?”
“It must be boring. But if you meditate here, time flies by without you realizing it. Well, if you’re really worried, stop by often.”
King Yulho laughed playfully, but then realized that Elric’s eyes were serious and the corners of his mouth curled up.
“Do you have something you want to say?”
“Chief.”
Elric held out his hand towards him.
“Would you like to go outside with me?”
