52. Subjugation of the First Demon King in the Hero Party (2)
52. The first demon lord subjugation of the hero party (2)
Among the many emotions, Saten realized ‘loneliness’.
She said softly stroking my hand.
“Uncle, is this a sense of stability? My heart doesn’t hurt. It hurt when I was alone in the hut, but I haven’t been sick since you came here.”
slurp-
Stroking every wrinkle on his hand, Saten looked me in the eye with curious eyes.
They looked like they were trying to see me.
“… Don’t look at me like that, Saten. You are a turtle.”
“I didn’t know that your uncle would be embarrassed. Next time, I won’t see you openly.”
… It sounds like you won’t be heard next time.
Are you trying to sneak a sneak peek at me from behind?
That’s a bit creepy.
‘I feel like I got the first button wrong. It would have been better if I had realized joy first, because I was the first to realize loneliness.’
Saten is one of the brightest in the party, but has no emotions.
She has only reason, and she analyzes any situation in a cool and accurate manner, excluding emotions.
However, that doesn’t sound like a good thing.
It is said that a lack of emotions that are essential to a person can lead to wrong judgment.
And, what if only one emotion, ‘loneliness’, returns to normal?
‘Obviously, it won’t be a good effect.’
I looked down at Saten.
He was sitting on a chair, looking at me with an expressionless expression, and holding his hand tightly.
She tilted her head and asked.
“What do you have to say?”
“What to say… There are many. Don’t share it later. The poison is spreading through your body, so you must get out of here quickly. take my hand Don’t let me go.”
“Yes, mister.”
Saten took my hand without any resistance.
Saten has always been individualistic, but for some reason it seemed to depend on me now.
‘… It’s good if you’re good at what you say. I feel like something is wrong.’
So I took Saten’s hand, got her up from the chair, and headed out of the hut.
In front of him, Hare and Estiya, who had run from afar, sat exhausted.
“Heo Eok- Heo Eok- Ooh, if you leave us behind, what are we going to do, oppa-!!”
“My uncle tried to abandon me… I, I almost got abandoned by my uncle… ”
“… There was an urgent matter for Saten, so there was nothing he could do. I didn’t mean to forsake you.”
heh heh heh heh heh
The two exhausted their breath.
It looked like he couldn’t even answer my words.
‘Still, I can’t stop just because it’s hard.’
The poison is slowly spreading through Saten’s body, and Luna must be trapped in a nightmare.
I approached the two who were sitting exhausted and said,
Pointing to the door that appeared in the air in the distance.
“Wake up, children, you must hurry.”
“Hey, I’m having a hard time, man… Mo, I can’t walk… ”
“me too… I’m having a hard time too, bro… ”
Two children who are fussy and foolish.
I didn’t want to grow weak, so I wanted to feed my hair with honey chestnut,
I decided to look after you as I had a hard day today.
“Hare. You take my hand, Estee. You get on my back.”
Estiya is short and weighs less.
Would be nice this way
“My brother’s back is so wide! Hi-Hi!”
“Me too, Mr. etc… ”
Hare let out a slightly disgruntled expression.
hard-
However, the complaints were limited to nail biting.
In the past, he would have tried to drive Estiya away.
Hare, who seemed to be getting better, grabbed my hand with her cheek inflated.
“Then, let’s go now.”
Now, it is certain that you will wake up from this dream as long as you save Luna, your last ally.
I walked towards the final door where Luna was waiting.
For some reason today, the weight of both hands and back was heavier than usual.
‘… Is this what it feels like to raise children?’
If it appeared on a TV program that was in Korea.
Surely, all the heroes in the party will have the nickname “Golden”.
With such nonsensical thoughts, I opened the door of my dream to Luna.
kiik-
‘What the hell… ‘
There, Luna was engaged in a grueling battle.
***
How many times have you repeated this battle?
‘I don’t remember.’
Since the regression exceeds 50.
Luna no longer counted death.
Because I knew it didn’t make any sense.
“I don’t need to count 60 or 70… ”
Because death is the same anyway.
You fight and you lose, and when you lose, you die.
I fell down and wanted to lie down.
However, the existence that calls itself the Holy Sword is forcibly raised whenever it falls.
“You have no talent, Luna. I will leave you.”
“Again, Mister… ?”
After being defeated by a red-haired girl.
Uncle always leaves those words and disappears.
Why the hell are you throwing me away because my talents are so bad?
Tears flowed endlessly from Luna’s eyes as she fell to the floor.
“Hey… If you’re going to protect me… hehe… To make you stronger… ”
I hate you uncle…
Abandoned dozens of times and defeated, the miserable feelings are not accustomed to it.
How can I beat that girl?
Luna thought about it, but had no idea how to win.
“I can’t win… I know all my actions… how do i win… ”
A world designed in such a way that Luna could not win in the first place.
However, as the Holy Sword did not allow it to fall, Luna was repeating this world infinitely.
At the very least, the amount of time spent battling is increased.
The amount of time it could endure was increasing.
“Uncle… hehe… Why am I repeating this time… I miss you, man… ”
I want to see the same old man…
However.
It seems that Luna shouldn’t even think like that.
A sword of bright light erupted from her heart.
-Warrior. you don’t fall wake up.
“That’s it again… ? hehe… How long are you going to keep fighting like this? ? This bad sword… ”
– Until you beat that girl. If not, until the man comes. Time is important.
“What does that mean?
“… Please, don’t turn back the time… this bad one… ”
The holy sword ignored Luna’s words and pointed the tip of the sword towards her.
‘Oh, I’m going to die again… ‘
The pain is temporary, but the fact that you can’t get out of repeating the same time over and over is so frustrating.
However, unable to even resist, Luna accepted this fate.
-Warrior. you don’t fall as long as i am you can’t die
The voice of the holy sword resounding with a scream.
In that way, Luna faced a total of over 100 deaths.
Under the weight of being a hero who can’t let go even if he wants to lose his mind.
“Hey… Uncle… ”
bad man…
Still, there were times when I was kind to you…
Why, why do you keep fighting me so hard…
“If I were going to turn back time… bring it back to that time… ”
Preparing for battle, Luna recalled the nostalgic daily life of training with the uncle in the yard.
***
“… that one.”
open the door and go in
Luna was fighting in a desperate manner.
A one-sided battle without even attempting an attack.
She avoided vital points as much as possible, but the damage was accumulated and she was in a state of disrepair.
Seeing that, Hare shouted.
“Two uncles… ? That’s welcome… oh! Ah, uncle… ! A child fighting with Luna… ! Oh, and the person who kissed you… ! They all look alike… !”
“That is also welcome. Don’t grind your teeth, Hare.”
rumble- rumble-
Hare looked at Aina who had become smaller and was wary.
Still, he didn’t rush in because he seemed to have grasped the fact that he couldn’t win.
‘Even Luna can’t beat that illusion.’
Aina’s vision was using the sword that I used.
Of course you can’t win.
More than that, Luna… that guy…
“My swordsmanship has increased a lot… ?”
“Hmm, is that so? I always see him training with you, and it looks the same to me.”
“It has changed slightly, Saten.”
It felt like I had gone from an apprentice to an expert.
If there was an awkward creak in her actions, the current Luna felt like she was heavily lubricated.
Even so, the fact that it is a hopeless situation that can only be defended does not change.
Luna desperately defended against the illusion’s attack.
If I continue like this, I will allow vital points and collapse.
‘… It’s natural to lose, but… Certainly, there is talent.’
After telling the other kids, ‘Please wait here.’
I quietly approached Luna, who was fighting with all her might.
“This, you bad bitch… !! I, go away… !!”
“You have no talent. You will be abandoned by your uncle. My talent is superior, so the uncle will abandon you.”
“Stop talking… ! I heard it until my ears got scabs… !”
Didn’t even know I was nearby.
Luna was resisting the illusion’s attack.
In the meantime, it is gradually pushed into a corner, and a gap in the vital point is created.
‘Is it a defeat?’
Hwaak-
The illusion sword that found a gap rushes towards Luna’s stomach.
And, that moment.
widely-
“Dalian ends here.”
“… ? Ah, uncle… ?”
I grabbed the wooden sword that was fired at Luna with my hand.
Luna looked at me with surprised eyes.
“I’ve never had anything like this… ? what, what… ? this bad uncle Why are you suddenly doing this to me… ?”
“What nonsense are you talking about, Luna? Explain so I can understand.”
meow-
Luna looked at me as I grabbed the wooden sword with a dazed look.
long time to do that.
As if he had thought of something, he frowned and started shouting at me.
“Uncle bad! Go into your own grave! This is wrong!”
“… Luna?”
“dummy! Uncle bad man! Totally bad! If I were to go back anyway, I would swear out loud! You bad man!”
“… ”
f*ck- f*ck-
I don’t know for what reason.
What did my illusion standing arrogantly over there do to Luna?
You’re swearing at me for something I didn’t do.
It was a little embarrassing.
“You idiot! sea anemone! Shave your beard! You bad man!”
“… Luna. Look behind this red girl.”
“Why do I have to listen to you? No talent?! If I don’t have talent, can I just throw people away!”
“… uhh.”
First of all, it would be better to get rid of this illusion.
An illusion created after Aina’s childhood.
There was no color because she was expressionless, but she looked exactly like her in the photo.
I hate being immersed in the past, so I poured magical energy into the wooden sword I was holding.
“… !!”
“Get away quickly, Aina.”
It hurts just looking at it.
Even if it’s an illusion, quickly disappear before me.
As I control the body of the illusion with my magical power, the illusion made up of Rust’s magic quickly disperses in the air.
Seeing that, Luna made a voice that seemed to be confused.
“to… ? what, what… ? Why is the uncle doing this all of a sudden… ?”
“Stop talking nonsense and look over there, Luna.”
“yes?”
Luna turned her head and saw another me behind me.
“What, what… ! There are two, two uncles… ?!”
“No, it is one. That guy is welcome.”
“Uh, what is that… ?”
“What would that guy say to you? Mostly negative words.”
negative words.
At those words, Luna started pouring out words to me, as if she was unpacking a bag she had stored.
“I have no talent… I have no skills… I did say so… him, and… ! Throw me away every time I lose… !! Me, you keep swearing at me for not being talented… See… Talking makes me angry… ! Oh, anyway… ! and… ! Seriously, the holy sword keeps turning back time… ! That’s right, mister… Hee… ”
Luna finished her words and shed tears.
‘With the power of the holy sword, sparring over and over again. Are you hurt by my vision?’
Welcome is not me, so it’s okay.
The part I was most worried about was Luna’s state of mind.
If I had repeated those times over and over again, my mind would have been exhausted.
I asked the tearful Luna.
“… Luna, are you okay?”
“Oh, no… Oh, it’s not okay… Ugh, uncle, it was so bad… He always tells me that I have no talent… whoops… That welcome man also said to me… whoops… I couldn’t even win the match… I… It’s because I’m not talented… whoops… ”
no talent
The words I planted in Luna so that I wouldn’t be arrogant.
It seemed like she kept getting caught.
Luna was bowing her head with a dead grass look.
“everyday… They look at me every day and say that I have no talent… Ugh, I hate you so much… ”
“… I’m sorry, Luna. I didn’t know you were hurt.”
I patted Luna on the shoulder to comfort her.
Nevertheless, Luna continued to shed tears as if the sad feelings did not go away.
“I… How hard I’ve been… whoops… You won’t even know it in your dreams… ! If your heart is stabbed by a sword… How sick… ”
“… Don’t go over the insult you just made, Luna. Stop crying now.”
“Why are you here now? whoops… I’ve been waiting… ”
Luna’s tears showed no sign of stopping like the rainy season in midsummer.
Weeping bitterly as if out of breath, Luna shed tears like heavy rain.
‘I didn’t want to do it because it was unfamiliar, but… ‘
I couldn’t help but pull Luna, who was still crying, toward me.
This way, the tears might stop.
Holding Luna, who had a high body temperature, in my arms, I hugged her warmly.
Then, contrary to what Luna had expected, she began to shed even more tears.
“Uhhhh… Oh man… ! I, I, I try so hard… I did, I did… uh… ”
“Yeah, it seemed. Your swordsmanship has increased a lot.”
“I, I am real… No, I tried… whoops… I keep saying I have no talent… I’m going to throw it away… whoops… to me… ”
Luna clenched my clothes and cried like a newborn baby.
It’s like throwing up the things that you’ve accumulated over many times at once.
I cried and cried.
I just hug her and stroke her hair.
Without saying a word, he accepted her sadness and sorrow.
‘… I’m sorry, Luna.’
To Luna who went through such a difficult process.
Because the fateful time still remains.

Just waiting for her to calm down.
‘You still have work to do, Luna. I have to calm down a little and run forward again.’
In the distance, where my illusion stood, a door appeared.
looking at that door.
I identified the problem with Minerva coming into view.
[Last chapter. Do you remember what it was written on? Junwoo, don’t be weak. It’s fate. The fate of becoming a warrior.]
… fate.
It’s a very comfortable word from the point of view, but it’s a very terrible thing from the point of view of the person who has to choose the correct answer to the problem.
I know the content, but I checked my options.
[One. Luna inserts the holy sword into the heart of the demon king and makes it disappear.]
[2. Jun-woo kills the Demon King himself. However, it does not disappear. The demon king of lust is resurrected.]
… My heart hurts.
However, if this is Luna’s fate, she cannot go against it.
“Ugh… Ugh… Uncle… ”
“… ”
While holding the crying Luna in his arms, he gently stroked her golden hair.
Feeling the prickly stares of other children watching us.
‘… The answer is always inconvenient.’
number 1.
I pressed the option that made Luna kill the demon king.
That is the warrior’s destiny.
