046. Noticed something
There are countless powerful people in the universe.
This means that no matter how much Endymion follows the immortals to seek destruction, there are enough people who can stop it.
But no matter how you look at it, this was unlucky.
“Is this just the end?”
Black hair and black eyes that call for death abruptly contain the opponent.
It was none other than Endymion standing in front of the man with a miserable face.
“Haa… Haa… Haa…”
He looked pretty exhausted, letting out intermittent gasps.
As if he had already finished a fierce battle, he had afterimages all over his body and even serious scars… There was no place where the body was intact.
‘I thought it would be like this once.’
I didn’t know that would be today.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have even thought of avoiding it until he bumped into it.
It was because Endymion had his own purpose, and it was natural for him to carry out his mission for that purpose.
Even though I’ve been feeling a lot of skepticism lately, it wasn’t something I could reject.
Anyway, Endymion scanned the black man from head to toe.
‘Similar to me.’
It was very quick to draw conclusions.
That’s probably the case, as I’ve already clashed once-
Endymion had no choice but to find out what the source of the man’s strength was.
Tang-
As he hit the floor with a scythe the height of an adult man, the ground immediately shook.
“This is the end of the thunder and nakedness.”
I calmly pronounce the final sentence.
I could feel the upright momentum that is hard to describe in words.
It was as if a death sentence had been handed down by the god of death.
Is it more so because he even holds a scythe?
Cheating Geek-
A terrifying noise chokes Endymion’s throat as if it were surrounding his son-in-law.
‘Aura of death.’
If there is a river in the underworld, I felt like I was standing in the middle of it.
The coolness tightens the whole body.
As if tied to an invisible rope.
A truly volatile situation.
“Hmm?”
The man in black caused a commotion.
The moment he turned his head to the energy that was getting closer-
Kwaang?!!!!
An unknown object fell from the sky.
It happened in an instant.
The dust that had risen in the thick of it cleared away, and Endymion, who saw the person standing in front of him, frowned slightly.
“I told you not to follow me.”
“What?”
Inyoung snorted was Haewoon.
She glanced at Endymion, tucking her lightly long hair behind her.
“Why are you doing that? I don’t think I’m going to be overwhelmed by that guy at all.”
Haewoon’s point was not wrong.
In fact, no matter how strong the opponent who handled the energy of death was, Endymion was no different than a slayer who killed countless opponents.
Besides, he even absorbed their souls into his sword, so it was incomprehensible that he was struggling against only one person like he is now.
“The timing wasn’t good.”
“When? What time?”
The moment the Heavenly Demon tilted her head at the sound she couldn’t understand.
Shhh-
The long scythe cut through the dust in an instant.
“Tsk…”
Haewoon reacted swiftly to the fierce attack and evaded it. At the place where her neck had been a moment ago, she opened the man’s eyes.
“You say you’re worse than the author?”
It was unbelievable, even if it was true, I didn’t want to believe it.
Endymion did not deny it.
However, it seemed necessary to correct the differences from the facts.
“I can’t do it. I just…”
There is a hint of worry in Endymion’s eyes.
Actually, the more I absorbed the soul into the sword, the more I felt the soul struggling to ascend to heaven.
It soon took the form of intermittent seizures.
The timing was bad, which meant that the rare seizure had happened just before the fight, and the body was extremely weak and irritable.
‘If you do it wrong, you’ll ascend to heaven.’
Ascension does not mean abandoning one’s body, but leaping to a higher dimension. In other words, it meant becoming more than a semi-ghost.
‘But if that happens… What was feared becomes reality.’
Humanity was the last bastion he wanted to protect.
To throw away even that is tantamount to saying that you have really been driven to the edge of a precipice.
That is also the reason for hesitation.
I don’t want to lose sight of the goal by becoming obsessed with the means.
‘That’s why I’m more hesitant.’
The words he couldn’t bear to say lingered in Endymion’s mouth. As he remained silent, Haewoon narrowed his eyes.
But in a fight, the favored side always lost.
“Haa…”
“What are you doing with me-“
“Shut up.”
Kwaang-!
A man who was secretly trying to get behind Haewoon’s day flew away helplessly.
It was certain that he was dead, judging by the instant drops of blood and the clear sound of tearing his skin.
It was an instant death.
“You don’t seem to want to talk, so I won’t make a long question.”
There are many strong people in the universe.
Among those strong men, there was a man who just flew like a balloon, and at the top of that line was Haewoon, a third-rate horse who was not a third-rate.
Endymion was unlucky and wondered if Haewoon, who saved him when he was about to be beaten, would be proud of himself.
Contrary to his expectations, however, Haewooun only reached out his hand.
But at the end, what she touched was a problem.
“You’re very hurt.”
Tak-!
“…….”
Endymion slashed her coolly without adding or subtracting from her.
“Do not touch.”
He’s cold with his words, but he’s not a knack. Rather, he was more like a soft-hearted person who had a lot of resentment and was not good at speaking harsh words to others.
However, it was only for his own sake that he was able to cut it off like this.
‘You must not harbor wrong feelings.’
You can give reasons that you are doing it because you are selfishly thinking only of yourself, or because there should be no obstacles in front of the goal you are trying to achieve.

Moreover, this was also for Haewoon.
I thought this because I knew her heart.
‘Anyway, I… ‘
The impossible relationship.
It was also because of Selene in the corner of Endymion’s heart, but there is a bigger reason than that.
It’s something that hasn’t happened yet, but if I keep doing this, it will happen someday.
As long as Endymion thought about it, he could never have feelings for Haewoon.
‘Leave no room.’
It won’t be strange if you disappear from my side at any time.
So that there is no reason to worry about her future.
Is it impossible?
No, I wanted it to be possible.
Because Endymion had already made up his mind.
“After…”
He sighed.
It was after I turned my gaze to another place to avoid looking in front of Haewoon.
‘I’m back.’
The intermittent seizures stopped and his original color was restored.
Endymion turned his back on his seat as soon as he was in a normal state.
Damn it-
The space splits and enters the gap.
As Endymion was about to leave, Haewoon also walked along, but the speed at which the space closed was too fast for that.
“…….”
Hae Woo-woon, who had been humiliated even after suddenly saving him, stood in a daze.
She didn’t feel any negative emotions from her, let alone resentment from her.
She must have reigned as the absolute for a long time, but she couldn’t be used to this kind of disregard.
There must be a good reason why they are consistently unresponsive.
‘You’re on guard.’
I can’t say that I fully understand Endymion’s heart, but Haewoon felt like I could understand at least some of it through his facial expression.
‘It’s not a face I’ve seen countless times.’
It’s not the contempt I saw when I became an enemy of Murim as a heavenly horse.
He was completely different from the fear of the enemies he felt when he wiped out ten thousand warriors.
‘Rather… ‘
Aloof.
Like someone who gave up everything.
‘No, I guess the word readiness would be more appropriate.’
There was a sense of solemnity in the blue blue eyes.
The toughness that could not be resisted for any reason was felt only in the atmosphere of Endymion.
‘I’ve seen it before.’
This is also oblique, but it is difficult to say that it is exactly the same.
‘My father.’
Haewoon’s father, who handed down the area around the bridge to Haewoon. His martial arts were very noble, and he was a gentleman who was respected by the church members.
However, he also had a negative problem, which was Haewoon’s mother and wife.
She died in a night raid while chasing after her husband during a time when Moorim was in chaos.
That soon became the reason for the Demonic Cult’s defeat in the Jeongma War.
‘After the Great War, my father… ‘
The strong man, who was said to be unmatched one on one in the world, was found one day with a cold corpse.
He was in the bedroom of his wife, whom he loved so much.
‘My father, who thought that my mother left because of me, ended up taking his own life, unable to overcome the pain.’
Actually, it’s something others don’t know.
Haewooun was on the night before his father passed away. He was single with his father.
‘Now I’m leaving my position to you, blame me for my incompetence….’
It was a senior position.
The succession that took place suddenly at night embarrassed Haewoon.
Besides, talking like a person about to die is even more so.
‘But even though I knew of my father’s death, I couldn’t stop it.’
It was because the father’s feelings that he confirmed with his own two eyes and put in front of him were extremely clear.
He didn’t seem to be able to catch on.
‘By the way… Why.’
Looking at Endymion’s eyes, does it feel like an afterimage of his father passing by?
