185 – Jack Dionel (complete)
“Let’s fight. “It’s the last time.”
Last.
Adela nodded her head and raised her mana.
She had been training with Jack for a long time, and she began to form a technique, remembering all those days.
She already knew how to fight him together.
-Blame!
The beginning was always his rush.
It starts with him digging into the middle of a horde of monsters and stirring them up.
He quickly dug in and swung his sword, cutting down two Lizardmen in an instant.
The surrounding Lizardmen reacted and began to attack him.
-Paaat!
And from this point on, your role begins.
Using Elmarga’s special technique, ‘Space Movement Art’, the Lizardmen’s attack route is twisted.
Although it has not yet reached the stage of maturity and cannot inflict physical damage by distorting the space itself, it is possible to at least twist the direction of the attack.
As a result, all of the Lizardmen’s attacks that rained down on Jack were completely missed.
-Whoop!
When the attack missed, Jack’s counterattack began.
It unleashes a flurry of sword strikes and cuts the lizardman’s body in half.
However, Adela was questionable.
The reason why lizardmen are difficult is because of their aggressive fighting style based on their enormous body regenerative ability, but for some reason, the lizardman who was cut by Jack fell down without even using his strength.
When the gas bubbles boil to regenerate the cut body section, the chemical reaction is blocked for unknown reasons and new flesh does not grow.
“Cough!”
However, the more Jack wielded that mysterious power, the faster he became emaciated.
Pii────────────
──I hear tinnitus and my vision begins to blur.
At that moment, a scream that could not be distinguished as screaming or crying barely reached Jack’s ears.
Jack, who soon realized that it was Adela’s cry, straightened his staggering body and swung his sword again.
“Kwiiikik…Kwiiikik…”
After such a short fierce battle.
At the scene where the corpses of lizardmen were scattered everywhere like crushed watermelons.
Jack’s body fell to the floor.
Adela cried out and came to him and supported him.
However, Jack, who had used up most of his power, did not have the strength to support himself on her support.
“Wake up…! Wake up quickly! Let’s go home! “Go home… Now go home…”
Adela pounded Jack’s chest and begged him to wake up.
Jack’s eyelids, which had been gently closed, opened as her hot tears touched his cheeks.
At that moment, Jack felt that not a single ounce of power remained within him.
“···Okay. Let’s go.”
Jack used every bit of his power.
Although it was less than a single particle, the power was power, and that power returned Jack’s body to normal for a moment.
Adela’s face lit up.
-Sarak.
Just like that, the two left the monster wave area.
The emphasis was placed on a long journey lasting about four months.
“Now all I have to do is go back home! First, piggyback on me! All you have to do is go to the nearby town and go to the teleport exchange to go to my territory!”
Adela lifted Jack up and kicked him away.
Holding back the tears that were about to spill, I continued to talk to Jack, who was hissing.
It mainly meant that they would do anything as long as they survived.
I even saw him spew out absurd things like saying that he would serve me as his master for the rest of his life.
“Hey, it’s a village! Jack! “Not much time left!”
How far did you run with the jack on your back?
Finally, I saw a chimney in the distance.
I walked quickly with a happy heart.
But at that moment─
-Sereuk·····.
Jack’s body went limp.
He was carried on his back almost as if he was asleep, but this time it felt different.
A helpless feeling, as if life had been drained from you.
Soon, Adela hurriedly put Jack down and checked his condition.
Adela’s eyes grew hot.
“Ah… Ah… Ah… Ah, no…”
The sound of his breathing is so faint that you can’t hear it unless you listen closely.
However, he moved his hands with a faint smile until the moment he was out of breath.
She took out her pendant from her own pocket and handed it to Adela.
“Well, it’s not a ring…”
Jack barely spoke in a hoarse voice.
Adela nodded her head with her tear-filled face.
With an expression on her face that said she knew what he meant, she put on the necklace he gave her and quickly wiped away her tears.
Nevertheless, my lips trembled in uncontrollable sadness.
However, Adela managed to show her smiling face in time.
From noble mtl dot com
The last time she saw her smiling face, the life in Jack’s eyes began to fade.
“·····Jack?”
Jack’s iris begins to spread as it loses focus.
Adella began to burn her mana with her healing spell and infuse it into Jack’s body.
Even though she knew it was useless, she cried out for him to wake up and continued to infuse her with her own mana.
“Wake up! Wake up! Just leave me alone like this… It’s an order! “Get up now!”
“······.”
But he had no answer.
No matter how much I hit her chest, how much I cried, and no matter how much mana I injected into her, she remained silent.
In the end, Adela repeated infusing her mana until her mana was exhausted.
I foolishly and foolishly used her healing techniques repeatedly until I fainted from mana exhaustion.
“······.”
How much time has passed?
Adela finally regained consciousness and opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, what came into view was a familiar yet nostalgic landscape.
She is back in her soft and cozy estate of her own.
“Jack!”
However, it was no longer important to Adela.
She jumped up, ran out of her room, and started looking for Jack.
“Miss!”
At that time, the guard guarding the front of her room stopped Adela.
He asked me to go into the room, saying he needed to find peace now.
But to Adela, none of that mattered.
“What about Jack? Where’s Jack? “Jack is…”
“If it was a boy, we buried him in the family graveyard.”
At that time, the head of the Elmar family and Adela’s father appeared and said so.
He said with a bitter smile.
“I analyzed the guy’s wounds and the scars on the sword. It seems obvious that he died trying to protect you. “After appointing him as a knight of our family, we held a funeral with the utmost respect.”
News that the funeral has already been held.
Adela collapsed.
She began to sob, her hands shaking, almost sobbing.
The head of the Elmar family came over and tapped Adela on the shoulder and said.
“I’m sorry…And, thank you from the bottom of my heart. “For coming back alive.”
***
Afterwards, Adela wandered around looking for traces of Jack.
In order to find the secret of the man who had lost his memory, he went to the mercenary group he previously belonged to through Susomun.
“Kkkkkkk… Jack? “You mean that brat?”
However, the stories he heard from Jack’s acquaintances were different from what he knew.
Contrary to what he had seen, he was more of an opportunist with no sense of responsibility.
According to their testimony, Jack should have abandoned himself and run away long ago.
“Shut up! “What do you say you know about him?”
However, Adela denied Jack’s truth.
Even though everyone disparaged Jack as a weak opportunist, Adela did not accept it.
“Jack… Hmm… Hwaaa…”
However, the truth confused Adela.
She went on a trip to learn more about the man she loved with all her heart, but the more she learned about him, the more confused she became.
Other people said he was so different from the person they knew.
-Sssss…
Then one day it happened.
A shower of rain began to fall on Adela’s head as she wandered aimlessly down the street with her mesmerized face.
At that moment, Adela’s gaze turned to the side, not to the front.
I was staring into the forest where monsters lurk.
“·····Jack.”
Adela entered the forest as if possessed.
She wandered wherever her feet went, smelling the smell of grass and rain-soaked earth that she had smelled as she escaped with him.
As she wandered through her forest for a while, the scenery she missed reached her sight.
“······.”
Caves.
It was a cave.
For an instant, memories with Jack flashed through my mind.
Adela entered the cave with a faint smile on her face.
-Hwareuk.
As soon as she entered the cave, she drove away the darkness.
By applying elemental magic, fire was created in the middle of the ceiling.
“······Ah.”
Then, the image of Jack sitting on the bed appeared like an illusion.
Then, the landscape of the cave, with traces of her life at that time, began to materialize.
Jack was still smiling at himself.
“Jack…”
But even when I called Jack, there was no answer.
He just smiles and looks at himself.
Nevertheless, Adela continued to call him.
She sobbed and begged to know the truth, saying she was confused because the person she knew was so different from the person other people said she was.
However, Jack was still smiling.
“···Wow!”
At that time, I suddenly felt nauseous.
Adela hurriedly went to the corner of the cave and began to vomit out the contents.
When the nausea stopped, Adela unconsciously placed her hand on her stomach.
A feeling that only a woman can feel, that her own body was alive, flashed through her mind.
“····Jack.”
Adela looked back at Jack.
Jack smiled and nodded his head.
And at the same time, his illusion began to dissipate.
As Adela watched the vision in the cave full of memories with Jack dissipate, she began to think about its meaning.
“···Okay.”
Soon, Adela was able to realize its meaning.
In the end, Jack is alive and breathing within himself.
Aren’t the fruits of the love you shared with him growing inside your body?
What other people said didn’t matter anymore.
The image of Jack that you remember.
It was the only love he loved and respected, his first and last love.
***
I watched Adela grow into the Empress of the East.
So, to be precise, I watched her past me come to see her from time to time through her past me.
In this way, in the past, after her death in Jack’s body, I occasionally watched her from a distance.
She seems to be circling around her because of her sense of responsibility for leaving her life behind in her body.
“······.”
But she couldn’t reach her.
Because my past self had a responsibility to save this world.
I was unable to exert influence for fear that the world line would be disrupted.
[I will establish an Imperial Academy.]
In the meantime, how much time has passed?
The optimal time has finally arrived to stand against the devil.
As the empire’s influence spread across the continent, the emperor gathered the best talent from the empire into the academy with the goal of ‘conquering annihilation.’
[It’s time to see the outcome.]
And the past me decided to use all my powers during this time.
After repeating numerous regressions to find the best route to awaken the children of the Great Duke family, based on that information, they attempted to find the one path that would lead humanity to the best path.
[We can’t repeat the same mistakes as before.]
However, in order to do that, an alternative future was needed that would experience hundreds or thousands of crushing defeats.
After inserting the ‘central memory that made me perceive this world as a game’, I continued to turn myself around.
After hundreds and thousands of errors, the best path we arrived at was the ‘Edgar Fix’.
Ironically, an unexpected variable that possessed the body of a mere commoner who could not even use mana was the only suitable person to lead humanity to the path of salvation.
