271. Heavy steps
“Huh?”
A short exclamation flows out, and the muzzle of the shotgun Deia was holding slowly lowers.
Her round eyes stared at me clearly with a slight tremor.
“Everything, again…” … Say it.”
A faint smile appears on his lips when he even stutters for words.
I had a feeling what she had noticed.
Even though it is virtually impossible because the body, voice, and way of speaking are all different.
She was asking me questions out of curiosity.
That alone made all the worries I had just felt ridiculous.
“What should I tell you?”
“Hey, Mr. Lee! Also, speak straight!”
The sight of Deia approaching me while stuttering contained a somewhat unusual cuteness that I don’t usually see.
“Oh, hurry! Anything! “That bastard has a good way of talking!”
Already half-confirmed. I wondered how on earth I knew, but for now I just pretended not to know.
“What a way of talking.”
I changed the way I spoke in order to clearly classify the two beings, Kim Shin-woo and Deius, within me, but when I actually tried to say it in Kim Shin-woo’s body, it didn’t stick to my mouth as much as I thought.
“Oh really! You know! Membrane! Uh? Membrane!”
Now he puts the shotgun down on the floor and gestures in front of me, imitating various speech patterns.
“There is a saying that the living should not carelessly cross the border of the dead, happy birthday, or something like that!”
“Foot.”
“Mr. Lee! “That’s what you said!”
Was he such a cute child?
Deia, who was grumbling every day, was also looking at me with a blush on her face, and my emotions naturally heightened as she looked at me.
“Huh? Try it! “Second, I once told you to shoot gently!”
I can’t touch my body, but I don’t know what to do in front of her, and I urge her name.
“Deia.”
Let’s sing carefully.
“Ah… ….”
Tears well up in Deia’s eyes. That dull feeling flows naturally to me as well.
Thank you.
To be honest, I thought it would take some time to explain.
I thought that in order to let people know that I was Deius, I would have to present various evidence and also bring out our secret memories.
No.
Just by calling his name.
“You bastard!”
He recognized me.
Wow!
Deia runs towards me and hugs me, burying her face in her arms. She shed tears and let out her resentment, wondering how she had held it in until just now.
“Where did you go? Dead! “I thought she was dead!”
“I’m sorry.”
“Me! Because I couldn’t do anything! We were together! Because in the end, I couldn’t do anything! Because of that…… !”
What could she have done wrong?
Raiser, the god of lightning, was not something that could be stopped with a crude object like a shotgun.
Gently hug me.
Because it was a prosthetic body, I couldn’t feel her warmth, but I still had the illusion that it was warm.
“Bad guy! Bad guy! Noh, who is pretty! ”

“I have no excuses.”
After listening to the woman’s sorrowful cries for a while, she slowly quiets down and only slightly lifts her head, still clinging to her inner body.
After seeing my face, she muttered something.
“What?”
It’s a sound that even I, who am stuck in, can’t hear properly.
When she asked in confusion, Deia lowered her face and raised her voice.
“Well, that face…” … “Is this your original face?”
“Ah.”
He scratches his cheek and nods.
“That’s right, this is my original self as Kim Shin-woo. “I think the appearance of the body created by Professor Per Petra was determined according to the mana contained in the soul, making it look like this.”
“… ….”
I feel like Deia’s arms have a little more strength. Actually, her back is slightly curved, so it must be correct.
It turned out well.
I also honestly asked questions.
“How did you know it was me?”
The appearance, voice, and way of speaking are all different from those of Deius. In fact, he was supposed to be a completely different person.
Deia recognized me the moment she saw me. Isn’t that an area that cannot be explained logically?
“Well, I just thought?”
“… ….”
“Something stuck with me. “I had the feeling that the person I had been waiting for had finally arrived.”
“I have no idea. “Are you really okay with something like that?”
When I answered honestly, Deia pulled his head back slightly and headbutted me in the chest.
“What should I do? “He’s a necromancer and he’s questioning some kind of logic.”
I guess he was annoyed that I, who deals with things that are closest to the spiritual and cannot be explained rationally, are asking for something like that.
“I just understand that it is so. Anyway, there is no mood. “If you look at things like this, it’s Deius.”
“De, de, de, deiusyooo?!”
At that time, the girl’s cute exclamation made the mountain cry. As her body turns around, Deia, who clings to her, naturally looks at her.
“I forgot for a moment.”
I apologized for forgetting Soho in the excitement of the reunion, but Deia frowned. This time, her hand tightened as if her back was actually going to bend.
“Have you lost your habit?”
“…… “The shell is broken, relax.”
“Hmm?”
Deia needs something explained. But since her Soho was urgent, she intervened and asked.
“Oh, no! “Are you sure you’re talking about Deius Verdi?!”
Perhaps thinking that her brother and sister-in-law’s time was being interrupted, Deia looked at her innocently and poked me with her chin while glaring at her.
“Oh, this is Deius Verdi.”
“Okay, then! “Did you come here to kill me with the hunters?!”
“…… “Did you?”
The eyes of two people focus on me. I answered with a shrug.
“Because it was the quickest way to get back to North Sweden.”
Besides, the hunters would have come anyway even if it wasn’t for me.
“To accompany a procession that kills oneself…” ….”
Soho opened her mouth, saying it was absurd, but Deia seemed to like my answer and slightly relaxed her hands.
“Okay, I need to come back as soon as possible.”
After saying that, there was silence for a moment.
The cold wind blows.
Soho looks at me and I look at Deia, but Deia pretends not to see that.
Our gazes continued in succession, eventually leading to Deia, but she said nothing.
“Let’s go to Sangun soon.”
I asked her to leave, but Deia pretended not to hear her.
It was because of the situation, but actually, I didn’t feel bad. Anyway, my sister, who used to complain, is now welcoming me like this.
She also accepts me as Kim Shin-woo, not as Deius.
It can’t be bad, but isn’t there something that needs to be done first?
“… ….”
But despite my words, Deia showed no signs of falling. Rather, she felt strength in her arms again.
“Well, is it okay for this to happen?”
Soho finally speaks up after seeing me look embarrassed. She asked implicitly if it shouldn’t be like this.
Even after listening to her little girl’s words, Deia did not want to fall.
Well, this is probably her role as her older brother.
“Give me just a moment. “I hope she can accept the foolishness of her younger sister, whom she hasn’t seen in a while.”
Tuk!
In the end, I tried to give it some time. So suddenly, Deia pushes me away and falls.
Did she not like the fact that she was described as a childish fanatic?
I guess I made a mistake, but Deia turns around, grabs her shotgun, and coolly fires.
“Let’s go, Mr. Kim Shin-woo.”
“… ….”
“If you are a mountain soldier, you will be able to recognize him.”
The sudden cold attitude was such a change that even the reeds shook their heads.
“Well, I got scared of something.”
“Did I make a mistake?”
Soho comes next to me and quietly grabs my collar, making me scared.
Anyway, that was when I was about to climb the mountain again to meet Sangun.
“…… !”
My head suddenly turns without me even realizing it.
Entrance to the North Swedish Mountains.
A place where Darius and Findenai are fighting against hunters.
The enormous power emanating from there instantly began to cover the sky.
* * *
Kaang!
Findeneye’s Snow White and Lanhardt’s Spear clash against each other, emitting a strong impact sound.
Compared to his good momentum, Lanhardt felt that the first attack was a bit boring.
I thought it was just a bunch of talk and thought that if we competed for a few rounds, the showdown would come to a close.
“Big!”
After a while, I was unable to come to my senses due to Findeneye’s attack.
It becomes stronger as time passes.
This was my first time seeing a woman like this.
In front of Finden Eye, who kept swinging his white sword as if there were no limits to his physical strength, Lanhardt realized that he was gradually being pushed to defeat.
“This is absurd.”
In the meantime, Lanhardt’s chest was growing hot.
It wasn’t just that I felt that way or that I had that feeling.
Through her battle with the woman named Finden Air, she discovered that the fragments of the ancient dragon she had devoured were changing something.
‘Is it because she feels her life is in danger?’
If the power of the ancient dragon regards Lanhardt himself as a place to protect, wouldn’t he be able to control the power of the true guardian deity from then on?
Lanhart grinned as he thought about that.
“Are you smiling?”
But the other person did not allow even such a simple act.
Findenai leapt forward and was already swinging the ax right in front of Lanhardt.
‘It’s faster again!’
Because she never imagined that she could become stronger here.
‘There is not enough time to raise the spear!’
It was already too late to react by raising the window. Therefore, Lanhard raises his left hand with the intention of offering one of his hands.
I was thinking of giving it away because it would be cheaper if it were my left hand instead of my neck.
Quaaang!
“…… !”
“…… !”
Even though he hit Findenai’s ax head-on, Lanhardt’s left hand made a noise like steel and was unharmed.
Because he was pushed back by force, he flew backwards and fell, but his hands had a subtle golden color.
“What is it?”
I hit Finden Aido.
“This…” ….”
Lanhardt was also hit.
Everyone is surprised by the situation just now.
Lanhardt, who noticed that the effect of eating the remains of the ancient dragon was slowly taking effect, raised the corners of his mouth.
“It looks like the battle will change.”
I know that the woman called Finden Ai is strong, but she is nothing compared to herself who gained the power of the ancient dragon.
Lanhardt is so confident.
“That’s terrible.”
Finden Eye sneers at how much it will change even if it changes in just a moment.
Nevertheless, the two were glaring at each other without letting down their guard.
Boom!
It really didn’t lose its atmosphere.
He appeared so suddenly and out of the blue, but because of that, he had a spirit that overwhelmed the crowd.
“Door?”
Lanhardt makes a strange expression at the purple door that suddenly appears between the two. I didn’t like that the atmosphere of the life-threatening battle that had been going on just now was ruined by the mere appearance of that thing.
On the other hand, Findeneye’s eyes were trembling.
No way?
Has her heart ever trembled this much?
Finden Ai stared at the door of her general store, forgetting even her breathing.
The moment it opens very slowly.
A huge wave of mana that even the continent could not handle began to spread around the door.
Thump.
Toward the continent, those heavy steps fall.
