278. Let’s say hello
Sangun and Findeneye are chasing after Lanhardt, who is running through the mountains of North Sweden.
At least I was able to chase him because I was on top of the mountain army, but even if I used my war shoes with all my might, it would have been difficult to chase down Lanhardt by myself.
“Where on earth is that bastard going?”
It is difficult just to hold on so as not to fly away from the top of the running mountains.
Findeneye couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
“Are you running away from the mountain?”
Findenai’s doubts were reasonable. In the end, as long as we get out of the mountains, Lanhardt can avoid fighting against the enemy called the Mountain Army.
But Sangun was calm and denied it.
[Based on speculation, it seems unlikely. Probably moving to a better place to watch the game.]
“… ….”
[Calm your mind.]
Sangun calmly gives advice to Findenai, who looks nervous. I know what he means, though.
If it is true, then what is difficult in the world?
Findeneye is irritable and irritable.
“Is that possible? “It broke in half before my eyes.”
[…] ….]
“I guess it’s because I have my own method. In the end, the body I am currently using is a prosthetic body, so I understand that I sacrificed that to create an advantageous battle structure.”

Still, I don’t like it.
The more he thought about it, the angrier his body became.
“So you do something like that? Uh? How dare you do that in front of me?!”
[…] ….]
“We’ll see. It comes out that way, right? “I really don’t like it.”
Murmuring with a somewhat different meaning.
[It’s hard to sympathize.]
Since Sangun had no such feelings, he had no idea how to respond to Finden Ai.
“I didn’t ask for comfort.”
Finden Ai also didn’t expect such delicacy from Sangun, and even if he did something like that in the first place, his heart didn’t calm down.
In the end, Findeneye continues to chase after Lanhardt, holding his displeasure deep in his heart.
Lanhart finally stopped after arriving at a wide open space on the mountainside.
“Are you tired now? “It’s bothering me.”
Finden Eye, craving the beginning of the year for the first time in a long time, sat down from above Sangun, quenching his appetite.
Despite such provocation, Lanhardt was not greatly shaken. He was rather calm and asked the two if they had organized their thoughts while running.
“Sangun, you called the man in the corpse earlier Deius Verdi.”
[…] ….]
“What does that mean?”
Perhaps the correct answer had already been found within Lanhardt, but he still felt a desire to confirm it.
Sangun had no intention of hiding it.
[Yes, he is Deius Verdi.]
“Hmm.”
Lanhardt is breathing lightly.
It was an exclamation of absurdity.
“Yes, I was right next to you but I didn’t know. “I was truly a clown.”
“If you know, can’t you just do it in moderation and turn it off? “I’ll give you at least the price of the carriage.”
A self-mocking, bitter smile made at Finden Eye’s ridicule. I don’t know what his story was, but he couldn’t deny that he was the one who carried him here.
“Well, the evaluation will be different depending on what I do from now on.”
Just because you were foolish so far doesn’t mean you have to be foolish in the future. Lanhardt was planning to turn the tide right here.
“That’s terrible.”
Of course, Findeneye had no intention of watching it with two hands.
Lanhardt steps forward as if responding to Findenai’s strike.
The two almost reached the same point, as if they had met at a meeting place.
Crung.
Before that.
The one who came between the two faster than the wind was Sangun.
Quad!
Sangun, who suddenly rushed forward, snatched Lanhardt’s thigh and shook his head sharply.
He was concentrating on Finden Eye and was unable to respond properly to the sudden surprise attack of the mountain army, so he flew over and rolled on the ground.
“Wow?”
[Be careful.]
Although it was a fairly powerful blow, Lanhardt only wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up again.
If it were an ordinary human being, it would not have been surprising if he had broken something or died instantly from a concussion, but even though it was a shock, only a smile appeared on Lanhardt’s face.
“It’s pretty rough.”
It wasn’t a smile made out of leisure. It is difficult to guarantee victory even in a one-on-one fight with the mountain army, but in addition, Finden Eye is included.
Although it was a threatening situation, Lanhardt was actually enjoying this time.
His fights with the strong also serve as an opportunity to grow his own strength.
[It’s coming.]
Both hands raised wide.
Befitting someone who possesses the power of an ancient dragon, the huge breath condensed in front of him had the power to melt everything it touched.
Breath.
The most powerful skill possessed by dragons that only appear in legends.
“Is something like that possible?”
Findeneye was taken aback by the sight of Lanhardt trying to show off an eccentric act that only the great devils would do. There is no way to block it, and the range to avoid it is wide.
Sangun also must have decided that he shouldn’t just be hit. At that moment, he was about to run away in a hurry, taking the Finden child with him.
A huge barrier erected high.
Overwhelming defense power that seems to have been built up by processing the material called mana to the limit.
A magic to prevent death given to Deius Verdi by the dark spirit.
“Ah… ….”
[This is.]
The huge barrier between Lanhardt and Findenai was different in quality from what we had seen before.
It has become more sophisticated, more solid, and unwavering.
Puhuaaa!
The breath pours out as if it will melt even such a barrier. Although it had a huge range and violent firepower, it could not penetrate the towering wall of mana and only swirled around in place and tangled together.
In the end, it oxidized, creating only a large hole in the mountain range.
“Huh! “Huh!”
Lanhardt, who had exerted all his strength, let out a rough breath and curled his body forward.
Because this was the wide-area technique called Dragon’s Breath that he had used for the first time, not only did his body resist, but the game was being distorted by the aftereffects.
A man slowly descending from the sky in front of him.
His black hair was longer than before and was sticking around his eyes, but it gave him an even colder impression.
[You’re back.]
Before Finden Ai, who could not control her pounding heart, shouted something, Sangun gave a word of assurance.
Findeneye finally couldn’t bear it anymore and ran towards him, shouting.
“You bastard!”
* * *
After Lanhardt was arrested.
Findenai, who was following the fainted Lanhardt, was quite talkative.
“Kiya, you finally feel like the owner. “I didn’t hate it when I was Kim Shin-woo, but I’m used to it.”
“Don’t call my name carelessly.”
“Your way of speaking has come back? Anyway, it’s funny.”
Finden Eye is giggling and laughing. What was so exciting about her was that she kept chattering and following along, making me feel like a child.
That means she feels good.
“This is because the roles of Deius and Kim Shin-woo are clearly distinguished.”
I was afraid that if I didn’t do that, I would slowly forget who I was and what kind of person I was.
If I don’t separate Deius Verdi and Kim Shin-woo, one day I will be completely consumed by Deius Verdi.
It’s not that I don’t like him, but I didn’t want to lose my identity as Kim Shin-woo.
On my way back to North Sweden, friendly faces come to greet me.
[Isn’t it okay to at least enjoy the joy of reunion? No matter what, he suddenly goes away like that.]
[Welcome.]
The Dark Spirit and Stella.
The dark spirit crossed her arms and grumbled, but the corners of her mouth turned up with a smirk, and Stella was still smiling with a kind smile.
“… ….”
[What is it? Don’t you have anything to say? We thought each other had disappeared, but then we met like this.]
[Are you confused?]
Stella calms down the pouting dark spirit. I answered honestly, getting her nod.
“I thought it was gone.”
[Well, that almost happened.]
[If Goddess Hertia had not shown her mercy, she would have perished.]
“… ….”
I close my mouth again.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult to control the emotions welling up inside my chest.
It’s different from when I met Findenai or Deia.
The sight of two women who I thought would never meet again standing confidently in front of me awakened complex emotions.
[Chet, it’s not fun. I’m more like wow! I thought you would be surprised.]
[I guess that’s how embarrassing it is. Senior, please understand.]
[…] … Stellar than that. I was supposed to meet first, but why did Stella talk first?]
[The senior also subtly touched her by placing his hand on her shoulder.]
[Keuhum, are you supposed to complain to your senior?]
Two people bickering in front of me. Although it was a similar situation to a butterfly fluttering in front of her and disturbing her.
“Yes.”
I slowly extended my hand towards the two people. It was fortunate that Deius had broad shoulders. Because I was able to hug two people at the same time.
[Wow?!]
[Oh my.]
Mana in hand.
It was fortunate once again that he was a necromancer capable enough to capture souls.
“I don’t know what to say.”
I just wanted to do it, so I carefully held them both in my arms.
The two of them were stiff at first, but naturally relaxed and surrendered themselves to me.
[Wow, what a fool! You’re usually good at saying nice things. It would be nice if you did it in times like this.]
[Say what comes to mind. Because that’s enough.]
It wasn’t a somewhat fancy statement.
An explanation of the feelings I was having right now, or the memories I had while thinking of them during the trip.
There are many feelings I want to convey, but there are no words to convey them.
So.
“I can see you again.”
Let’s just say hello.
Announcing the reunion.
“Nice to meet you.”
Declaring another beginning.
[Good evening, right?]
To all of you, happy to meet you.
[Nice to meet you, Deius.]
Let’s say hello.
