Chapter 148
“Where is the end?”
“Won’t it end when you and I become the same?”
“What does being the same mean?”
“It means not chasing you or ahead of you. I want to walk just like you.”
Shion seemed to think for a moment, but belatedly realized the meaning of the words.
Perhaps Hannett thought he was behind him.
Because he has been taking the initiative in everything, and he has received attention first.
“You mean I’m being selfish?”
“I am afraid to follow you. I wish I could tell you what you’re trying to do, but you always hide it. You keep getting stronger, but I can’t seem to get out of here. What should I do?”
Harnette looks at Shion with bitter eyes.
Of course, I tried to do my best at any time, and I also made a contribution to subjugating the 3 demon kings and 4 disasters.
However, I only wandered around Zion, and it felt like I was getting farther and farther away as time passed.
I had to catch up, but even that was too much for me, so I blamed myself.
“… Sister, I’m thinking a lot. I don’t know if I can do it well.”
“What are you worried about?”
“Demon god and dragon can be resurrected.”
Shion ended up mentioning them.
He said he would go with him to the end, so he couldn’t keep it a secret any longer.
It won’t change anything just by talking about it, but shouldn’t I let her stand by her side?
“Do you know Cardinal Selena, too?”
“You noticed already?”
“There aren’t that many people hanging out with you other than me. It’s weirder not knowing.”
“I tried hard not to show off.”
“I can’t not miss it. Can you see that you are trying to separate me?”
“… … .”
Shion hesitates for a moment, then avoids Hannett’s gaze.
Harnette shows a displeased look and pulls Shion’s body.
“I believe in you, don’t you believe in me?”
“It is not a matter of believing or not. Cardinal Selena already knew.”
“How did you think?”
“… I did a lot of research before getting Acid Rain. I made a decision based on that information.”
Shion only tells the truth and glances at Hanette.
Not all of it was accurate, but it wasn’t unhelpful.
If he hadn’t even had that information, he would have suffered one-sidedly from the 3 great devils and 4 great disasters.
“Sigh… Somehow I don’t think I like it… … .”
“You mean when you defeated the demons? I liked it. It’s because you don’t show off.”
“Do not lie. you always worried I wondered what was on my mind so much… … .”
Harnette suppressed her irritation and glared at Shion.
He didn’t seem convinced yet, and it seemed like he was trying to make plans in many ways.
However, I couldn’t help but feel a little bad because I secretly proceeded without myself.
“Is it that hard to talk to me?”
“I have to deal with the difficult things on my own. There is no need to make it difficult for my sister.”
“… … .”
Harnette chewed her lips and squeezed the hand holding Shion tightly.
I knew what he meant.
I had to understand, and I couldn’t be stubborn.
However, he didn’t seem to be aware of the fact that he almost died because of that thought.
“Are you keeping a secret from me? Things like that happen, too. Who is without secrets? Secretly dating someone else? there must be a situation Are you worrying alone? I can’t worry for you by the way… I can’t forgive you for handling it alone. I can handle it too. I can do it just like you!”
Harnette lowered her head and let out a voice.
Shion swallowed the silence and just watched it.
“You said you could marry me after all this? Do whatever you want?”
“sister… … .”
“I know. I know why… I can’t accept… … .”
Harnette put her forehead on Shion’s chest and murmured softly.
Shion feels that one side of her heart is empty and slowly closes her eyes.
“Why are you doing this to me? Are you afraid I will get hurt?”
“… If my sister gets hurt, she’ll regret it. forever.”
“Would you be satisfied if I stayed here?”
“Then my sister won’t get hurt. But… … .”
Shion gently opens her eyes and strokes Hanette’s hair.
Her soft and neat hair was growing back long before she knew it.
I wish I always had long hair, but I just kept cutting it.
“I can’t ignore your thoughts. I don’t know if I can win without my sister.”
“Did I really need you? Aren’t I getting in the way?”
“Do I need to say this if it bothers me?”
“Speak clearly here. What would you like me to do for you?”
“Just stay alive without a single wound. That’s all you need.”
Shion slowly takes her hand away from Hanette and makes a small wish.
You don’t have to stay by your side, and you can withdraw even if you marry another man.
I just hoped that no matter where I was, I wouldn’t get hurt or die.
“I can’t do it alone. You should be there too.”
“then… As my sister said, we have to see the end together. Can you really?”
“I’ll go with you anyway. Even if you push me away, I will definitely catch you. So never again… Don’t do this again.”
Harnette was discouraged, but not bound by it.
As much as your thoughts are important, you must respect Zion’s thoughts as well.
This was a small mistake and consideration, but it was not intended to deceive himself.
“I won’t do that again. I can promise you.”
“I don’t mean to tell you all your secrets. just… All you have to do is tell me these things.”
Harnette burrowed into Shion’s arms with her eyes closed.
If I could fall asleep like this, wouldn’t my mind be at ease?
However, knowing Shion’s worries made her mind seem clearer.
‘How many things are you watching?’
I didn’t know where or what Shion might have come into contact with.
Enrite must have gone through a similar process before facing Shion.
What kind of mindset do the two of them fight against their enemies with?
‘I should be of help…’ … .’

From noblemtl.com
Karon Belaz Continent, the fortress of the Great Sea King.
Unlike King Narak, King Mu Pendals put a lot of effort into hiding the fortress.
He couldn’t use as many troops as Narakwang, and he had to have a ship to fight.
However, the ship had to be repaired because it was damaged, and it was not easy to procure materials.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t fight at all, so you can calm down the surrounding area.
“Deckmaster, how is the condition of the ship!”
“The repairs are almost done! In just a few more days, we should be able to launch the boat.”
“Hmm… Supply field! Are there enough materials?”
“I just scraped it off and got it right.”
“mate! How long will it take to reach your destination!”
“I think it will take two days if it is short and four days if it is long.”
“good! Finished in two days, arrived in one day!”
“Oohhh!”
The captain advances the set schedule, but the crew cheers and moves busily.
If the captain wants something, you must respond unconditionally, and if he asks you to give up your life, you must fight until your whole body is torn apart.
They are forced to obey the captain’s orders, and escape from the ship is impossible.
Because they made a pact to defy death, and their souls and bodies were completely bound.
“King Narak only believed in numbers and failed. I’m not stupid like him.”
Mu Pendals, the King of the Great Sea, drinks the entire bottle and watches the ship gradually take shape.
He named it Pendals after his last name.
When he was alive, he gained notoriety by sailing all over the sea in that boat.
No human could stop him, and if a monster appeared, he would just smash it on the spot.
“… Captain, Narakwang wasn’t weak. Humans must have gotten stronger.”
“There’s no way I won’t be strong! Humans are a species that grows stronger through generations. The only way to win is to cut him off.”
The Great King swallowed the liquor, but did not feel any taste.
As he became undead, he lost his five senses, so he couldn’t even recognize that it was liquid.
I just remembered the distant past and drank to get drunk with the atmosphere.
“Vice Captain, is there any change in your thoughts?”
“There is no change. It’s reckless.”
“Are you afraid of humans?”
“I think we are weaker than humans. Humans got stronger, but we only had to fix the ship. You have to have the strength to bridge the gap.”
The Great King sympathizes with the words, but cannot bear to accept them.
He, the Pendals, and the crew can’t get out of the Caronbelaz continent.
This was the cost and curse of becoming undead, as well as his own greed and unfulfilled regret.
As the undead, he had to annihilate humans before he could gain freedom.
“I still can’t give up. Wouldn’t it be better to die than to be locked up here?”
“I’m not saying that because I don’t know… … .”
The vice-captain instinctively drew his sword and swung it backwards.
The Great King also quickly threw a dagger, but the sign had already disappeared.
At the same time, the same presence was hovering behind him.
“Would you like to try one more time?”
“You guys… … .”
“Was it you? Long time no see.”
The Great King belatedly recognizes the magical power and collects the dagger.
The opponent spits out a desolate laugh and appears through the dark red curtain.
“Are you the only one who recognizes me?”
“It was too late to find out because it was a long time ago. How have you been?”
“It didn’t go well. A lot of plans went awry.”
“Ohh… Was there anything you couldn’t do?”
“I was a little relieved. Nothing has changed.”
The Demon God spreads his dark red magic and throws something.
The Great King looks down at the sword on the ground and is gripped by a sense of heterogeneity.
“Isn’t that a strange thing?”
“Dran Calgonis, the dragon demon sword. It is made of dragon bones.”
“… Dragon?”
Even the Great King did not know much about dragons.
He only knew that he existed like a demon and was destroyed by humans.
Since the dragon ruled an era together with the demon, it must have had tremendous power.
“Put this on the boat. The power of the dragon will increase.”
“Are you trying to help me?”
“There’s nothing I can’t help with. Didn’t you make a contract?”
The Demon God made a contract with the King of the Great Sea before he was left with only his mind.
Narakwang and Immortal King were able to become the 3rd demon king through a similar process.
Originally, it was a contract prepared out of fear of being defeated by a dragon, but did anyone know that a human would intervene?
“Wasn’t it okay if I gave it to King Narak?”
“… It is not something that Narak can use.”
“Isn’t there an Immortal King?”
“I can’t give it to a scumbag.”
If he wanted to use the dragon’s magic sword more reliably, he would have to give it to the slime dragon.
The slime dragon ate the chimera dragon and was aiming for the bone dragon as well.
However, the dragon couldn’t give much power, so he tried to use it in a different way.
“Whether to use it or not depends on your doctor. but… Can you beat a human without using it? Kheuneha… … .”
The Demon God let out a strange laugh and disappeared.
He had only one magic sword left.
Now, shouldn’t we negotiate with the slime dragon using this magic sword?
‘Even if you eat this dragon, you can’t go back to that time. If you use the magic sword of eternal life… … .’
