710 – 8. Last Words (84)
I gasp and open my eyes, but my vision is blurry.
I groped the ground and grabbed the handle of the sword. I groan and try to get up, but my muscles scream.
Right after I stood up shakily.
Red-brown hair seemed to be reflected at the end of my vision that was becoming clearer. However, the woman does not show her appearance in the end and disappears with her hair fluttering like a tail.
Overflowing memories overflow.
Screaming, or moaning.
I wanted to scream something, but no sound came out between my parted lips. Hmm, huh, the more I breathe heavily, the redder my vision becomes.
Who am I?
The memories of the man from the future filled every blood vessel in his brain, causing confusion. Before her eyes, my enemy.
There must be a woman with reddish-brown hair.
“You are being too greedy.”
My vision, which had been shaking at the sound of that quiet voice, is forcibly fixed.
Jeobug, jerk.
The sound of the man with golden eyes taking steps formed a certain rhythm. The gaze looking at me was as tired as always, but the murderous intent was clear.
He saw me groaning and left a dry mockery.
“Are you going to completely assimilate my memories? “I don’t think you can maintain your sense of self that way.”
I wanted to refute it, but
First came the pain that felt like my brain was tearing apart. I tried to scream, but ended up having no choice but to grit my teeth.
Who am I?
“Okay, well…” “It’ll be okay.”
A metallic smell came from my chewed lips. Huh, huh. The breathing becomes more and more urgent.
The hand holding the sword naturally takes strength. As if the tendon might burst.
“I just need to finish it before it becomes irreversible.”
The pupil repeats contraction and expansion at will.
Then suddenly, the moment I turned my eyes straight ahead.
Boom!
Even though the sword just met the sword, the shock as if it had been bombed was transmitted to the limbs. A body that is pushed out and a sword body that trembles.
Just one sword.
Even with just one swing of the sword, it has this much power.
The shock that I couldn’t let go of is screaming through my insides. I wanted to spit out blood, but the man just let out an exclamation as if he was puzzled.
He seemed surprised for a moment, but then a crescent moon appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“…… Under.”
Laughing, the man muttered as he saw me pounding on her chest.
“I don’t know what they did, but it looks like the assimilation rate has already increased.”
“All of you… Cough!”
I finally found the time to say something.
I spit out blood and forced my shaking arms and legs to calm down.
“Unlike you, I have someone to help me.”
“Another nonsense.”
Pointing the tip of her sword at me once again, the man spit out a denial without hesitation.
“Are you going to wait for salvation even at the last moment? “The only one who can save you is you.”
I guess so.
I knew you would say that.
You lost all the people you loved, lost and let go of your emotions, and ended up not believing in anything, not even God.
I was afraid.

What is being lost again is the future where nothing can be done under the guise of providing a helping hand.
As her memories overflow, she becomes assimilated into the man’s thoughts. Just by holding a sword, hundreds of techniques come to mind and thousands of killing techniques seem to be visible.
No, that wasn’t the only scenery that appeared on my retina.
When I close my eyes, I see a man running.
“Ian, do you still not understand?”
Like an auditory hallucination, I can hear the woman’s laughter. As the red-brown haired woman beckons, her thousands of arms shoot out and block her man’s path.
Thump.
Even with all her might, only dozens of arms flew off and her blood spurted out. Considering her man’s skills, it was a ridiculous result.
But it is different here.
“I told you. The ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ is said to make all wishes come true… Here, everything happens just as I wish.”
It is literally a breakdown of common sense.
It was a space where laws and cause and effect were distorted. Of course the man, no, me.
There was no way I could resist this overwhelming violence.
Hundreds or thousands of arms wrap around the body. It felt like I had fallen alone into a swamp infested with poisonous snakes.
I can’t breathe. My limbs don’t move.
“There’s no chance you can beat me.”
But if you ask, is this the end?
“So it would have been better if I had given up a long time ago…… !”
I smiled dryly.
“…… No.”
A swamp infested with poisonous snakes?
That’s about it, I went in and out a few times.
Wood!
As I tighten my grip, the magic power in the area stagnates. Immediately after that, unclaimed limbs exploded in the air as if they were being torn apart.
My eyes are hot. It felt like it was going to explode at any moment.
Blood was flowing, and my vision was blurred.
But this was the only move I had left. While drinking Leto’s last gift that he was carrying in his arms.
I thought.
You have to use all the techniques you can.
Today, I have to kill God.
Because I didn’t want to lose anything anymore!
“…… Bantling!”
Kagak, the sword sparks and a shout hits the eardrums.
Only then did I come to my senses and look embarrassed. Before I knew it, the man and I were discussing the issue.
What sum is it?
I was so absorbed that I couldn’t tell for sure. However, the way my eyes are reflected in the knife is a little strange.
I ended up making a dumbfounded expression.
A geometric shape that appears blurry in the pupil.
There was no way I was mistaken. It was the vision of the Dragon King, the ‘eye of all things.’
While I was losing my mind, the man’s warnings continued to pound on my eardrums.
“I should have warned you…” “If you raise the assimilation rate too high, you won’t be able to maintain your sense of self!”
“Hey…… ?”
I ask that question blankly.
‘Self’.
Who am I?
The expression of the man who resembled me was slightly distorted by my slow response. He took a step back and then lowered his stance.
Then my body retrieves the sword at will.
A vision that I had not known about until now suddenly comes to mind.
Sword Circle Ohui, ‘Half Heaven (反天)’.
It was a technique that concentrated the opponent’s power into one point and returned it. It was an art that boasted the highest level of difficulty among the three swords of the Sword Circle, but before I knew it, my body was replicating it perfectly.
If there’s just one problem.
No matter how strong a vessel is, the only thing is that it cannot contain force outside the standard.
Thump, my body was flying in the sky with a single punch from my outstretched fist.
‘Bongsangyeok (崩山擊)’.
The essence of the Holy Kingdom’s Jujutsu, which is said to have collapsed a mountain, was the result of a direct hit on my body.
However, it may not have been a one-sided battle.
My body, which was supposed to fly for a long time and break the boundaries of the world, only flew for a few seconds at most and then rolled on the ground. It was a fatal enough blow.
Still, it meant that the remaining power was successfully repelled.
I decided to be satisfied with half success for now.
The beeping sound in my ears rings in my head again. Because my fingertips had no strength, I lay down and vomited blood.
Forcibly turning the body over. I tried to get up, but fell down again.
Another landscape emerges amid the receding consciousness.
It is a memory of that day again.
As a man, I run.
The ‘Eye of all creation’ had a similar power to the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’. This vision of ruling and reorganizing the entire area, even though it was not as complete as when the Dragon King wrote it, allowed me a little freedom.
That one thread-like path.
Like walking on a tightrope, I poured ‘blood essence’ into my stomach to run on it. I was so earnest and earnest that I used the sacrifice that the saint once hated so much.
A fierce fight.
Even if dozens or hundreds of limbs rush forward, they will all be thrown away. Then, I was hit by a huge fist with my arms and legs together, and I flew away, and the ground sank and I fell down.
I woke up unsteadily.
Emma claps her hands and lightning strikes her. Even though my limbs are twisted and gravity that is dozens of times stronger tries to crush me.
The body strengthened by ‘blood essence’ did not get tired easily. Even if one of its limbs was blown off, it could quickly regenerate. Finally, the woman asks me.
“…… Why?”
As if he was tired of it, or with some doubt and fear mixed in.
The woman shouted, gritting her teeth.
“Why do you do that? You can never win… You know! The fact is that that kind of joke can’t reach me! Look!”
The hand pointing at me is white and delicate.
Panting, I stood up again.
“Have you come even one step closer to me?” Still don’t know?! Everything I wish for here will come true…… !”
“You.”
Answered the woman’s question.
“It’s my first regret.”
Relax your posture along with your breathing.
“It should have been like this a long time ago. If only I could turn back time, it would be ridiculous, but… “If only I could!”
I aim the tip of my sword at her again.
“No matter what sacrifice I had to make, I would have saved you.”
“What are you?”
A question asked by a woman, her body trembling with anger.
“What are you doing that makes me ‘regret’? I have no regrets! “I am here by my own choice!”
“No.”
“What do you know?”
Sparkling light green eyes are looking at me. It was a gaze overflowing with murderous intent, hatred, bitterness, and anger.
“You only hung out for a few weeks at most, but now you think you know everything about me? Do not be ridiculous… You don’t understand my feelings at all! I couldn’t do anything until my father made a contract with the evil spirit… The pain that no one tried to save me from…… !”
“No.”
Is it a sigh or a groan?
I took a deep breath, pouring out my true feelings that even I didn’t know.
“Then why did you take on their sins?”
Instead of answering, the woman distorted her countenance. I recall the actions of the woman I had seen until now.
“People who are sick, people who are cornered… “Whenever you hesitate to make a terrible choice, you always bear their sins.”
In the polluted Seongdo, we met two patients.
What decision did Emma make in the face of her man begging her to save one of her critically ill children?
She killed a critically ill patient.
Instead, those who are relatively healthy will be able to survive in the future. Without any guilt, without having to take responsibility for your useless mouth.
“Did you really want to create hell?”
“Shut up… ….”
Beetle, Beetle.
The woman began to slowly walk down her throne with her forehead resting on her forehead. Still, my story doesn’t stop.
“Then why should you bear the blame alone?”
“Shut up… ….”
“Actually, you are alone in hell…” ….”
“I told you to shut your mouth!”
Following Emma’s hand gestures, the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ screams. As I ran, trampling on tens of thousands of limbs rising from the earth, the distance between me and the woman became very short in an instant.
Originally, he would have been pushed out naturally.
Emma was excited. There was no way she could make the right decision.
Yes, she thought so.
Shut up.
The woman’s pure white hands were holding my neck. Her whole body suddenly stiffens, and her light green eyes, which are overflowing with emotion, are already so bloodshot that veins are visible.
She is out of breath.
“I, I didn’t like you from the beginning… “You hypocrite and liar!”
I couldn’t even breathe and just frowned. Cold sweat breaks out, and the brain, deprived of oxygen, becomes slower and slower.
“Do you regret not being able to save me? Do not lie… You are just like everyone else! I’m just pretending to be nice on the outside, but in fact, if a similar situation comes up again…… !”
Huh, huh.
With barely any breath left, I managed to open my eyes. To capture Emma’s shaking face.
“Again, again… ….”
The woman’s hands slowly lost strength.
I suddenly looked at Emma, who had a mesmerized expression on her face, and remembered a conversation she once had.
Did she ask me to do this?
‘If the time comes to abandon me again… Throw it away without hesitation. ‘Don’t do anything weird.’
Suddenly, the hand holding my neck loses all its strength.
“Don’t hesitate to throw it away…” I’m sure I said that…….”
That’s the end.
Silver starlight falls into hell.
