238. Dimension Rift (5)
“I don’t have anything, now. I’ve either lost it or destroyed everything with my own hands. But I think you still have one valuable thing left to trade.”
“·······.”
I just got convinced.
This bastard has the confidence that I’m right.
If I took out the darkest part of myself and enlarged it, I would be similar to this guy.
A piece of trash who sees everything pessimistically and sees all the people here as objects or combination of type.
That was the Schluss Heinkel of this world, that is me.
“Ah. Of course, I won’t tell you to decide right away. The two of you will say goodbye. It’s okay to spend enough time here before you go. However, when you go, leave Yulia unconditionally.”
“Shu, Schluss…”
“Did you call me in my glorious days or did you call me? Which one, Yulia?”
“Ah, ah…”
Yulia held my hand tightly and trembled.
I firmly separated her hand and fell.
Then Yulia leaned forward and looked at me with a desperate expression.
You must not be weak.
I ignored it and walked away from Yulia and approached Schluse in this world.
“Is the decision finalized?”
“Of course. It wasn’t worth worrying about.”
“Really? I thought I would have thought about it a little longer if it was me in my brilliant days.”
“I think I misunderstood the timing. Apparently, the Schluss Heinkel you think is more like me in the past.”
He had a misunderstanding.
Anyway, the me he thought of was me in the middle of seducing Emilia and marrying Iris.
I was at a time when I only looked at Emilia and Iris as tools for a marriage alliance.
But I no longer have that me.
Because now I can love someone passionately again.
“So the decision is-“
“Of course I refuse, you bastard. Even if you said you’d send me back to the real world, I wouldn’t have.”
“What, what…! Why? Why?”
The bastard showed a puzzled expression as it was.
Why? Are you asking because you’re genuinely curious?
There’s no way I could hand over Yulia to a lunatic like you and go back to Lululala by myself.
Otherwise, I would completely lose my human mind.
The pain of losing an armful still pierces a corner of my heart, but if I offered Yulia with my own hands, then I would lose my mind.
“Is Yulia a thing? Give and take? f*ck you. You damned demolition maniac.”
“How… How can I… Give up on seeing the ending? Give up going back to the real world…?”
His pupils shook rapidly.
I can’t seem to calm down.
If you were aiming for it, it was definitely now.
‘Selection and concentration. Use 1 second each for agility, strength, and strength.’
In an instant, the stats of agility, strength, and strength exceeded 300.
What I saw in my eyes at that moment were raindrops as if suspended in mid-air.
It was as if time had stopped.
But even in the midst of that, his pupils followed me towards where I was moving.
A fleeting surprise.
If I missed now, there would be no more chance.
I immediately twisted my body and landed a kick on his chin.
Paak!
“Cheer up…”
His neck turned loudly with the sound of his bones cracking and breaking.
The impact caused his entire upper body to bend backwards, but he did not fly backwards in the end, and he stood on his feet.
If it was a normal person, the blow would have separated the head and neck…
Even in the midst of that, my pupils kept chasing me and making eye contact was bizarre.
As he fell backwards, he slowly extended his fingers to me.
The amount of magical power contained at the end was staggering.
Just before the flash of black light was shot at me-
‘Selection and concentration. It uses 1 second for magic.’
I activated the teleportation spell.
In order to switch places with the bird that the spell was planted on before.
“Huh?!”
In an instant, the field of vision was filled with the blue sky.
I saw a pigeon flying alongside me.
I immediately used the teleportation technique again.
This time, it was a spell to switch locations with Yulia.
Phat······!
“Schlus Heinkel!!!”
I saw this world again in about 0.03 Seconds, and I seemed very angry.
The place where I had just been was completely swept away, leaving a large crater.
If he had been hit, he would have died instantly.
His fingertips moved towards me.
Just before the magic power at the end spews out a huge flash again-
“Turn Yulia-“
“f*ck it.”
I raised my middle finger at him and used the teleportation technique again.
This time, I switched positions with the pigeons that were flying side by side earlier.
Then, before I knew it, I was falling again in the sky.
This time I was with Yulia.
“Kyaaah?!”
“You can’t make noise.”
I hurriedly hugged Yulia, who was falling beside her, and covered her mouth.
Then she bent her knees and landed as lightly as possible.
Thanks to the strengthening of the internal circuit, the foot was fine, but the knee was completely crushed.
I had to drink a lesser potion right away.
Yulia was very dizzy when she removed her hand that had been covering her mouth to stop her screaming.
“Bar, what the hell just happened…”
“I applied the magic I used to save you last time… It’s long, so to speak.”
When I was exploring the ruins, I caught two birds flying side by side and engraved a spell in advance.
Using that, I swapped positions with one bird, then with Yulia, and then with the other bird next to it, so we both escaped safely.
Since this all happened in less than a second, Yulia couldn’t help but feel dizzy.
“You have to hide first-“
Kwaaang!
I could hear the vibration and sound of the chicheon from far away.
Looks like Schluss Heinkel from this world is very angry.
I don’t know exactly what level it’s strength is, but I’m sure it’ll be at a level where you can instantly find a man and a woman strolling down the street without thinking.
So I had to be as careful as possible in order not to get caught in the omnipotent bastard’s radar net.
I took Yulia in my arms and quickly ran towards the nearby stony mountain.
I was lucky enough to find a small cave.
There you should be able to hide without being seen by other animals.
In this world, I had to be careful because it could even peek at the eyes and ears of animals.
Should I say it feels like Erwin is spread all over the continent?
“Looks like you’ve been ostracized for now.”
“Yes…”
Maybe five minutes had passed.
For now, I was relieved.
5 Minutes is enough time for him to circumnavigate the continent.
Growl······
“Oh.”
At that time, Yulia’s belly made a cute sound.
I’m just hungry.
I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday afternoon.
“Let’s go hunting.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to be seen by animals?”
“That’s why I’m aiming for the ones that don’t have eyes.”
A faint movement was felt inside the cave.
In animals that live in such a dark place, their eyes have degenerated and become an organ that only detects the presence or absence of light, or they probably don’t exist at all.
Even if I catch and kill it, there will be no way to know if it was killed by me or by a predator.
“Stay there. Stay still… Eight.”
“Hey! Alright, got it!”
“He’s poisonous! Don’t touch him with your hands!”
“Kyaaah?! Really?”
Hunting was quite difficult.
He was collecting magic waves more than anything else, so he couldn’t use magic at all.
I grind twigs into spears and try to catch insects, but it took me a long time to catch a couple of scorpions.
Then he carefully gathered dry branches from outside the cave and lit them.
Of course, I couldn’t use ignition magic, so it took a long time.
At the end of the day, we were finally able to hold each scorpion on a skewer and grilled to a golden brown.
“Ugh… Is this edible?”
“I guess.”
“Have you tried it?”
“No. Not once.”
“·······.”
I heard that people eat these things in China.
Maybe they buy and eat because they have their own taste and nutrition.
I was also reluctant to eat scorpions, but I had to pretend to eat deliciously first for Yulia, who hated it.
“Umm…”
I mustered up the courage to tear off all of my legs, and took a bite of the belly.
And it wasn’t bad because I was chewing on it.
From noble mtl dot com.
It doesn’t really have a taste, but the chewy texture is definitely that of meat.
Perhaps she gained courage from seeing me, Julia also slowly brought the scorpion closer to her mouth with trembling hands.
“Ah…”
However, before reaching Yulia’s mouth, the little hand missed her skewer.
I picked it up again and tried to put it in my mouth, but then dropped it again.
At first I thought scorpions didn’t want to eat them.
But I soon realized that it was because Yulia’s arms were too weak.
The strength had weakened to the point that even that light thing could not be held for a long time.
“Here. I’ll apply the flesh. It’s pretty good, this.”
“Thank you…”
For Yulia, I smeared her flesh and put it in her mouth.
Yulia cried and felt sorry at first, but her eyes widened when she tried her scorpion meat.
I didn’t expect it at all, but I was surprised because it was delicious beyond my imagination.
It really exceeded my expectations.
If you starve yourself for 10 days, you’ll feel like a high-end dish.
“What shall we do now?”
“Haa… That’s all.”
I got confused again by Yulia’s words.
It was a situation where there really was no answer.
The god of this world is looking for us like a mouse in anger.
We have no way to counter it…
I can’t hide here, eating insects for the rest of my life.
She thought seriously, then suddenly looked at Yulia, and the child was looking into my face and smiling.
“What’s wrong?”
“No… It’s just. I thought this was the first time.”
“That’s right. It’s the first time for me to fly to a parallel world and be chased by a transcendent.”
“That’s not it…”
“Then what?”
“It’s the first time for me to come out this far and eat. It’s just the two of us.”
“·······.”
Okay. Julia, who has been ill since she was young, must have never gone far outside in her entire life.
Not even once in the many lives that have been reincarnated for hundreds of years.
And it was me who arranged Yulia’s fate that way.
“Don’t you hate me?”
“Why do I hate Schluse?”
“Because I designed this world. It’s all because of me that you constantly reincarnate.”
“Hmm. I feel a bit resentful, but that’s all. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been born. There were many times when I felt that life was painful and that I wanted to stop living. But after meeting you, I felt fortunate to be alive and to be born. Listen. I think I’ve been living my life in pain to meet you, for today.”
“·······.”
Yulia hugged her knees and smiled bashfully.
It was a complicated feeling.
Yulia forgave me even after living in pain for such a long time.
She was on a different level from anyone whining that she was lonely after destroying humanity with her hands.
“·······.”
The moment our eyes met, I opened my arms without anyone doing anything first.
I picked up her Yulia and sat her on my thigh and hugged her tightly.
We shared warmth like that in the cool cave.
She buried her nose in her slightly matted hair and breathed.
The exact same scent as his body odor bothered me.
The sun was setting slowly outside before I knew it.
‘I will definitely go back.’
I made up my mind.
I will inevitably catch the Schluse Heinkel of this world and end it.
Hasn’t that guy once hunted demons with a human body?
Is it impossible for me?
It will be possible if we are fully prepared and launch a surprise attack.
And then, just like he did, steal the demon’s power by ripping out the heart.
‘No, I will definitely send it back.’
With that authority, I will open a rift in the dimension and send Yulia back.
I’m left in this empty world with my goddamn self.
I won’t be bored with two.
We can just chat together until his lifespan ends.
And then after he dies, I will become the owner of this world and live alone for tens of thousands of years.
