“but! I have a question for you!”
For a brief moment, the lieutenant general could not hide his impatience and looked up at the top of the abyss. Like someone waiting for something to fall.
Perhaps it was not yet the time, the endless darkness of the distant space was still there. Ebon looked down and looked at the immortal.
‘Rash the Undead, you said you ripped and killed the one who insulted the tribe. I thought he was a typical savage who was easy to take advantage of, who only cares about honor and favor and is not bound by laws and rules… . Totally different from what I expected. Still, it is available.’
Ebon said again, pretending to be composure.
“Something?”
The Undead spoke with a bit of grit and great curiosity.
“A lieutenant colonel who was a subordinate of the lieutenant general. She must have come here at the command of the lieutenant general, but why did you want to kill him?”
Evon, who smiled timidly, replied back.
“It’s easy to answer. Because they betrayed us.”
“Is that a reason to die?”
“Because that life was the most suitable for achieving that goal. He was just there, and he was chained to the king of dogs. Besides that, there are many other reasons. For me, there was no reason not to write.”
“It’s like that.”
“Why, did you wonder why? I’m surprised Aren’t you immortal with a rare concept of death? But was the death of the lieutenant colonel so impressive?”
“It was a little more impressive than usual. But her death is not the only impressive thing.”
The immortal nodded heavily.
“Death is rare for us. Even if you are stabbed with a knife, even if you are burned with fire, even if you are torn to pieces and scattered on the ground, it will come back someday. It is not susceptible to common diseases that are not curses. Even the occasional death is considered to return to the mother’s arms before it gets any worse, so instead of mourning at someone’s funeral, everyone gathers together to laugh and talk.”
There were traces of deep concern in his question. In response to the seriousness, Ebon responded with full respect.
“It’s heaven. Death comes suddenly to us. Even, there are too many such deaths. Unprepared death is everyday life, and eternal loss is easy to find around you. It’s not uncommon to get promoted because your boss dies while standing still, and it’s not uncommon for the colonel you had coffee with last week to suddenly change into someone else. Unlike you, we’re torn apart and that’s the end of it.”
It was an answer with my own considerations. However, the immortals did not understand even after hearing.
“I know. So I don’t understand any more. Those who die as easily as the lieutenant general know that life is so fragile and precious, but rather easily die or kill. It’s like they don’t know the value of life.”
“It’s not that we don’t know the value of life. But, I’m just trying to find something more precious than that. Shouldn’t the life I’d lose anyway be spent on something more valuable?”

Mixed answers. However, realizing that this was a difference of point of view, the immortal shook his head.
“I have a different point of view. I think that the more easily lost, the more valuable it is.”
“You lose your life easily, so you are more obsessed with things that last forever. I intend to use the life I would lose at any moment to find an immutable value.”
“The lieutenant colonel longed for life.”
“So we didn’t feel betrayed. The lieutenant colonel’s actions broke our promise. I believe you will understand the value of promises as much as life is precious.”
The question and answer is over. The Undead was reflecting on the conversation they had just had with a serious expression.
Ebon, who had been looking at the immortals for a moment, asked to confirm.
“Then you won’t stop me. My life will be precious.”
The undead opened their mouths with difficulty.
“… The lieutenant colonel stabbed my friend in the back, but it must have been a matter between the lieutenant colonel and the lieutenant colonel. I don’t think I have the right to intervene.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“I won’t blame the lieutenant colonel. I just hope that my judgment does not endanger the lieutenant colonel or others.”
“Don’t worry. I already had a terrible failure, and I lost my right arm. There is no other way to write numbers now. The lieutenant colonel will not be in danger.”
Ebon calmly laid out lies. It was a skillful lie like a secret organization executive.
The immortal closed his eyes. It was a silent sign of pretending not to see him. Ebon noticed this and smiled contentedly. It’s a natural movement that can’t even be imagined as a person dripping blood with his right arm cut off.
But, indeed.
“Lieutenant General, wait a minute!”
“Ah, laborer, you were there too.”
As I stepped forward, Ebon naturally turned her gaze to me. He responded with an outwardly friendly smile.
“I was impressed with the ability you showed at the end. hahaha. At that time, I was really astonished. I hope I can disassemble the claws instead of the chains. It was unexpected for me.”
‘Damn, my last plan went wrong with that. It was a hasty plan, but it didn’t bother me that much! If it wasn’t for the founder, I would have killed him from the beginning!!’
Lieutenant Colonel Ebon, who responds skillfully while hiding his true feelings. It was quite a creepy sight for a mind reader. There are very few people who have such a sharp fall between the inside and the outside.
I shrugged and replied.
“Don’t you need a dog tag? The colonel is dead. He’s a dead man, but you have to bring your dog tag to check it out!”
identification tag. It was prepared by the military to commemorate the dead.
For soldiers who haven’t reached level 4, the reward passed to their family upon death is the only and true legacy. What they need is a dog tag, and soldiers value dog tags as precious as their lives.
I wonder if there is a saying, ‘If you can’t leave a whole body, leave a whole dog tag instead’.
Therefore, it is the courtesy, virtue, and duty of the same soldier to take care of the dog tags of the dead.
However, it was unacceptable to Ebon, who was waiting for the door to open to escape. It can be difficult when you go down and run into a dangerous entity such as a regressor.
Ebon said with a smile.
“What do you need an identification tag for? Since I am a general, my testimony is sufficient.”
“Uh, but you have to have a dog tag… . And Lieutenant Colonel Kalpatz Kuris was honestly and reflexively saved, but he was in a very critical condition. What if I stay here and die?”

My words disguised as worry.
As the time to escape drew near, Ebon, who was impatient, responded as much as he could to shake me off the constant conversation.
“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you about Lieutenant Colonel Calpatz. I’m concentrating on my recovery, so I’ll report you… .”
And, it got caught.
Consisting of a point organization, the warrant of all things conveys information through a metaphor in case of any contingency, and secretly refers to each other without revealing their identity.
They do not know the face or name of the sponsor, even if they are a ‘sponsor’.
Callis was surprised to find out who the patron was, and even the lieutenant general didn’t immediately recognize Callis’ face when he saw it.
Such Ebon accepted what I said as Calparts.
Thanks to that, the undead opened their eyes.
“Look.”
The undead’s voice was one tone lower than before. The cool smile that readily passed even when he stabbed himself was also gone.
“Tell me again. What’s the lieutenant’s name?”
There is only the wrath of the one who found the lie.
“Isn’t it Lieutenant Colonel Karlpaz? Last name, um. I can’t remember. The military doesn’t value s*x very much… .”
“Wrong. Her name is Callis. Callis Kritz.”
In an instant, a bewildered light flashed in Ebon’s eyes. At the same time, the hostility towards me also grew. In addition to the discomfort I felt when I fell into a trap, it even shot me with murderous intent.
You misunderstood, Lieutenant General Evon. It’s okay to be in trouble
But what kind of judgment would the immortals make if they even embraced murder in that way?
Evon picked up the horse and served it quickly to get it fixed.
“Oh, I must have misunderstood. The worker just said the wrong thing… .”
“She was a great warrior. She fought fiercely with life to survive, and she was a warrior who faced death to the end. I respect her.”
“So do I.”
Did you say death to the traitor? hahaha. Even the undead won’t believe it.
“I thought what you guys were looking for was really valuable. Like honor, like pride, I thought it was something to be gained at the expense of suffering.”
“That’s right. We are for the great wish of mankind… .”
“However, if you ordered someone to die because it was so important.”
The immortal repeated one step closer.
“At least, that name should not be honored. It must be a virtue to keep before making a promise. Even we, who have no shame in death, do this, but the lieutenant general has no respect for those who died for the lieutenant general.”
“I’m sorry. I… .”
“Do not apologize. There is no one here to accept that apology. Anyway, this made me realize that the lieutenant colonel had no right to condemn the lieutenant colonel. then.”
His left hand gripped the empty space vigorously. In that case, there was a sound like a rock being crushed.
close. Raising her fists clenched like rocks, Lash said with an expressionless expression.
“Let’s count three. You tore my body, injured my friend, and dishonored my honor. Wouldn’t that be enough?”
It was an offer that was absolutely unacceptable to Ebon, who had to prepare for an escape soon. Ebon contorted his face and pulled out an armor packet with his intact left hand.
After losing the battle with a regressor, an army packet taken out to lighten the body. He put it in his mouth and inserted it into the biometric terminal on his left arm. A flash of alchemy covered his upper body.
“… The condition is not perfect.”
Damaged or broken parts from previous fights remain intact. The seams are not smooth as they have already been dismantled and then reconstructed, and the remaining magical power is leaking through the damaged parts.
Even with the missing right arm, the alchemy river, which had lost its direction, flowed down. As a result, the right shoulder blade and breastplate were also out of shape.
But anyway.
For Ebon, who had no weapons, even the claws on his left hand were precious.
“The Undead believe in regeneration and fight for endurance. But do you think you can defeat me in this abyss that is not even on earth?”
“Well.”
In contrast, the immortals still only have an immortal body and two fists. However, if there was something different from usual, that fist contained clear hostility.
The undead clenched their fists and responded.
“Still, I can hit three.”
The will to destroy the enemy, which was not easily found in the Undead. It turned to Ebon in front of him.
“This time, even if your body is torn, don’t blame me!”
Ebon ran to the Undead first.
‘Let’s not underestimate it. I was injured. One arm left. There’s not much energy left, so the battle should be finished as short as possible.’
Even though his right arm was missing and his whole body was shattered, Ebon still maintained a tight tension. Ebon glided towards the undead and extended his claws.
Instead of avoiding the undead or observing the opponent, he extended his right hand toward the claw.
‘Are you going to hold your fingers through the claws, stupid!’
The undead didn’t even raise the other hand. If you’re aiming for an attack, it’s wise to aim for Ebon’s right, which isn’t under the elbow, but it’s sloppy and confronts him head-on. The arrogance of the undead, or complacency.
Ebon with a weapon has an advantage if you are dealing fairly and fairly. Ebon slapped the claw over the qigong.
‘I’ll cut that finger off! Don’t tear me apart from your fingertips in that state!’
So, Ebon turned the blade and aimed at the immortal’s finger. A blade with a blue qigong is about to cut the immortal’s finger.
It snapped and got caught on the bone.
‘no?!’
It’s a nonsensical story. If it wasn’t for the qigong, there’s no reason for claws with anticipation and repulsion to get caught in the bones. Even if it gets caught, I don’t know if it’s cut or pushed out as it is.
There was no way to explain why the claw was caught now, other than that the bones of the undead had hardened.
Ebon’s astonished ear shuddered, and a sound of chewing something was heard.
In the mouth of the immortal, there were ginkgo leaves.
“O Mother Earth.”
The immortal murmured low, and gave strength to his right hand. Young ginkgo leaves. Leaf veins extend from the leaves that landed on the body of the immortal.
This is the abyss, the land abandoned by the Earth Mother. However, the body of an immortal sacrificed to the Earth Mother resembles the soil.
The leaves born in the spring serve for the tree, and when their use is exhausted, they sink to the ground and rot. A small cycle that surrounds a tree continues until the person runs out.
The ginkgo leaves, which were finally buried in the ground, rotted and rotted in peace. In order to return the essence, which is full of the leaves of the World Tree, back to the Earth Mother.
Kirik. Claw’s blade vibrates as it catches on the flesh. Ebon hurriedly tried to pull the claw out, but the claw that was firmly secured did not come out.
Ebon, who finally realized the identity of that power, sharpened his teeth.
‘pore… ! This is also a kind of qigong! Strengthening the body itself!’
“Young man, did you catch the persimmon… !”
The immortal, who grabbed the claw, answered indifferently.
“I don’t really care what the military calls Moore. I just made my body hard.”
Ebon struggled to get the claw out. I twisted, shook, pushed and pulled the claw.
But Chloe didn’t move.
It wasn’t misplaced in the bone, not in the muscle. The qigong wrapped around the blade makes it possible to shake off most of it.
It’s just, the fact that the claw doesn’t move right now is possible because the immortal was holding it.
‘This savage’s qigong… ! It is comparable to mine!’
I can’t shake it off because of the overwhelming difference in energy.
Since he doesn’t have a right arm, he can’t even take off his claw.
Ebon, who was struggling with just his left arm, had to watch the immortal man clenching his left fist and lifting it up from a close distance. Whatever it was, it was a sight that had no choice but to be cold.
Ebon exclaimed.
“Your boy… You won’t be able to use your power in the abyss!”
“Obviously, it is. But I have the leaves of a young ginkgo tree.”
The leaf of the world tree that was so precious and cherished. The immortals originally intended to offer their leaves to the Mother Earth as soon as they ascended to the ground.
That is, until he decides to hit Ebon.
‘Why is that still there… ! Wasn’t it the one used to wake you up!’
Ebon noticed this and screamed desperately.
“I was the one who gave it to Lieutenant Colonel Calpatz! I mean country!! Not Calparts, I woke you up! You have to help me!”
I cried out with a ray of hope, but only a cold reaction came back.
“Wrong. The leaves of the World Tree belong to the Earth Mother. Only the person in charge has a different name, but in the end, it is the grace of the Earth Mother. I don’t need to thank everyone who has kept these leaves for a while. I just need to receive the heart contained in the leaves.”
And the immortal Rash pulled back his left fist and added a word.
“Also, the name of the lieutenant general is Callisrao. Remember.”
Kwajik.
As the helmet was made, the regime of the Undead was locked in Ebon’s face.
Again. The immortal is the best.
