＜ Episode 150 ＞
bang!
With a roar too loud to be the sound of a bullet being fired, a 50BMG bullet was fired and rushed toward the sea of stars.
The target is the nebula where John’s flame has moved and started to burn.
Since it is a bullet fired at an infinitely long distance, it should be bent in the middle, but this is a world of images, and physical laws have no meaning.
The bullet, which was shaped by John’s anger and will, accelerated at the same speed as light and grew bigger and soon became a comet made of ominous red flames and crossed the sea of stars at once.
– Seed of destruction!
A sound filled with urgency rang through the space, and a cold smile formed on John’s lips as he heard the sound with a white face, as if he had poured all his energy into it.
The comet, which ran along the long path of flame, reached a nebula full of ominous energy, and at that moment, dark red lights embroidered the sea of stars.
Roaring!
– aaa!
The flames that began to spread widely spread as if trying to swallow the nebula, and the movement of the nebula, which had been slowly expanding, began to shrink.
“die.”
An indifferent word flowed from John’s mouth, who was glaring at the figure with fearful eyes.
It was a very calm statement, and it was a voice so small that you couldn’t hear it unless you listened closely, but there was no one who couldn’t hear John’s voice.
It was because I had a strong will.
fleshy.
The murderous intent spewed by a being reserved as an incarnation of destruction and transcendence was unparalleled, and at that moment, the flames transferred to the nebula grew even more powerful.
– aaa!
“Awesome.”
“… maybe this!”
Anticipation rose on Hawk and Fioren’s faces.
It is close to impossible for a mortal to deal with a transcendent.
No matter how powerful they are, there is no way to use their hands because the hierarchy itself is so vastly different.
There was no way to attack an enemy who was transformed into a mental body unless it was a really special means, and at most it was about dealing with an incarnation summoned as a substance in the material world.
But this is the space of images.
It is an absolutely advantageous space for the mental body, but that is why it is an equal condition, and the flame of John, which can influence tangible and intangible existence without discrimination, was able to reach it.
Whoops.
The stars shone in a truly miraculous sight, and the eyes that were watching Luna gathered all at once.
Interest, admiration, disappointment, joy, frustration, anger, etc.
All kinds of emotions filled the sea of stars, and Hawk and Fioren’s faces turned pale from the waves of emotion that flooded the entire space, but John continued to add power to his flame with his face still intact.
mortal will.
I don’t think about tomorrow, I only want to obliterate the enemy at hand.
Some of the stars expressed their admiration for that bloody intention, and some of them were wary of John.
Though destined to burn the world, John, who was only a mere mortal, received the attention of transcendentalists.
– aaah!
Even in the vast sea of stars, part of the nebula that occupied one area burned up and lost its color. This is an unbelievable sight to see.
A flame that literally burns stars.
Fioren and Hawk’s faces were full of anticipation at the transfer that occurred due to circumstances and coincidence, and the stars’ emotions were about to intensify.
– go away!
With a loud cry, the party’s vision reversed.
***
It seemed infinitely short, but it also felt like a long time had passed.
“Well.”
At least John thought so.
Even if it’s only for a moment, all senses including sight are closed and buried in a complete void, the sense that you almost lost your existence for a moment.
The brief sensation he felt at the moment his vision reversed left a deep impression on John’s mind.
“You got kicked out. It seems you were in a hurry.”
Hawke’s voice, filled with laughter, let us know that this place was real.
“… you did something absurd. Peeping into the world of the transcendents is close to a miracle, but I even dealt a blow to the transcendents with such an image.”
Fioren’s gaze turned to John as he murmured despondently.
The calm-faced fixer, who seemed to have taken care of himself before he knew it, was the same as he knew him, but Fioren could see that he had definitely changed.
He himself had risen to a higher level, and it didn’t make sense that a man close to being a god slayer hadn’t changed.
‘······It must be difficult.’
With the intellect of a wizard who has reached superhuman strength, he drew conclusions in a short moment.
Despite being a villain, he is a citizen of Luna.
Fioren loved the city of Luna so much, and didn’t want to leave the existence of a threat to Luna, but he can’t help a solver named John Doe anymore.
It was a sudden intuition, and this kind of intuition is like foreknowledge.
‘Is it best to lead in the right direction somehow?’
If you go through Fioren’s own connections and a few bridges, it won’t be difficult to mobilize enough people to subdue John.
There are plenty of superhumans stronger than John.
However, the damage that occurs in the process is a problem.
If he can’t subdue John at once, he will try to prove why he is the embodiment of destruction, and the John he knows is not a person who refuses to make such sacrifices.
‘Luna itself could be destroyed. No, it definitely does. Maybe this is the devil’s intention.’
After organizing her thoughts, Fioren sighed lightly.
‘It must be a lot of work.’
You have to direct John’s decision-making in Luna’s favor, and you have to prevent the city’s malice from turning against John.
From Fioren’s point of view, which only thinks of personal perfection and profit, there is no such thing as a lightning bolt, but what can I do?
He is a citizen of Luna.
Hawk, who was staring at Fioren with dull eyes, probably guessed what Fioren was thinking, and smiled.
“You must suffer.”
“……Damn it.”
John turned his gaze to Hawk, who lightly tapped Fioren on the shoulder.
“Hawk.”
“Tell me.”
The healer’s mouth opened and a calm voice came out.
“Can you send me to that space again?”
Hawke put on a slightly tired expression at the calm but firm voice in his voice.
The solvers want to re-enter the space where they have to do their best just to keep their spirits, where they can forget themselves just by feeling their eyes, and where they have to prepare for the extinction of their existence only with emotional agitation.
If the spirit of the great hawk had not been protected, he would have lost his life the moment he entered, and now he is about to re-enter the place where he is sure to be firmly prepared for the incarnation of destruction called John Doe.
It is tenacious and purposeful.
This solver is a person who never gives up on a goal he has set, and who accomplishes his mission no matter what.
Although tired of admiring the lively voice, Hawk shook his head.
“It will be difficult for a while. The transcendent, and that is the banishment of the gigantic transcendent who is trying to destroy Luna. Even more so since you hurt me. I will try to block it somehow.”
“······is it.”
A voice came out that sounded a bit disappointed, but my hearing, which was developed because I couldn’t see it, could clearly read the murderous intent hidden in that voice.
“It would have to be done in a very special way. This Hawk is great. It was possible because the ability is specialized for that side, but it is impossible in general.”
At Fioren’s words, John nodded.
Shamans are rare, and those who have reached superhuman are even rarer.
And among those shamans, how many shamans can take you to the Sea of Stars in succession?
His combat power as a superman is below expectations, but if you look only at his true ability, Hawk is a high-ranking superman who deserves to be fully respected.
“I can’t help it. thanks. Don’t forget your promise.”
“I will contact you.”
He lowered his head lightly, but his feelings were sincere, and Hawke was satisfied with that.
A person who was destined to burn the world and was prepared to become a transcendent.
Even so, he kicked his fate and rebelled.
The respect you receive from such a person will be worth more than any sweet talk in the world.
Beep beep.
The great hawk spirit that protects Hawk must have thought so as well, and a cry of satisfaction rang out from within Hawk.
“So what are you going to do? zone.”
Fioren’s voice was slightly tense, but John’s voice remained the same.
“I will find a way. They said it had to be done in a special way.”
“yes.”
A cold light flashed in the solver’s eyes.
“Then there must be a special method.”
Hwareuk.
A small fire lit up at John’s fingertips, and Hawk and Fioren, who saw it, were startled and backed away without realizing it.
A dark red flame that exudes infinitely ominous energy.
Transcendentalists are also the essence of disgusting destruction.
It was clear that just brushing against it would inflict a devastating blow, and if you were a little careless, it would burn your body as well as your soul.
“If only I could find a way and go to that place once again.”
hook.
The eyes of the fixer, who closed the flames with his fists, emitted a terrifying light.
“At that time, it will be settled in some way.”
The two lost their words for a moment at the murderous intent that pierced their whole body.
***
Could it be because the intent to kill in John’s words was too strong?
Hawk, who had been silent for a moment, opened his mouth.
“It’s not that there are no guesses.”
The fixer’s head turned slowly like a doll’s, and met his gaze with the eyes that had lost their light.
“What?”
For a while, the great shaman who performed miracles released his thoughts.
“There must be a wizard first. I heard that there is a school that digs into summoning and spiritism. Among them, those with higher ranks might have a way.”
“… it’s not a false story.”
Fioren frowned at Hawke’s words.
The world of magic is wide and deep, so you don’t know where something will pop out, but the school Hawk said is a minor among minors.
This is because the merits of summoning and spiritism are greatly diminished at the point where shamans exist in the first place.
“I’ll have to look into it separately, but I think it’s best not to expect too much.”
John nodded his head at Fioren’s words after he thought for a moment.
When it comes to magic, Fioren is an expert.
He knows all too well that not ignoring expert opinion is the way to not waste time.
“I don’t know if there are any other shamans like me.”
It’s an arrogant statement, but John and Fioren nodded in agreement.
Hawke’s abilities are truly unique.
It was hard to imagine that there would be another like him, and even if there were, finding them was another matter.
“Is it the starting point after all?”
John sighed and stood up from his seat.
Although it is difficult, the goal is clear, so if you persevere, you will reach it someday.
‘Cause he’s been living like that up until now.
There will be hardships in the process and it will take a lot of time, so you have to move quickly.
As much as he rushes, he will be able to reach his goal faster, and the time after that will be sweet as much as he rushes.
“The story isn’t over yet.”
The shaman’s voice stuck in the ears of the fixer who was rushing to turn around, and John stopped his body at the meaningful emotion in that voice.
“Excuse me.”
“it’s okay. It’s not that I don’t know my heart.”
Hawk smiled and continued.
“I inferred that it was impossible in the usual way. If that’s the case, shouldn’t it be the usual way?”
Hawk, with a serious expression on his face, put his hands together.
“You were summoned to Luna by a transcendent. as the seed of destruction. By the way.”
A cold smile formed on Hawke’s lips.
“There are people who were summoned to Luna in a similar way to you.”
“······player.”
Hearing Fioren’s murmur, John’s expression hardened.
