55-3. Powerless powerlessness grows.
***
Actually, there was a reason for Fine to create Goesik.
Food eaten at the temple in Tardun.
Spicy stew with meat, vegetables and fish.
Pork kimchi stew with canned tuna.
Fine wanted to reproduce the food Suhyun Lee’s mother cooked.
But I didn’t know the exact recipe for the food.
“Please give me more. Blood.”
“Yeah, okay.”
The devil-like food that came up from the bottom of hell was born.
Because of the creepy appearance, taste and aroma, even Pinay himself gave up tasting it.
The man in front of me smiles and refills his empty bowl. A stew that disappears in an instant.
Of course, you can tell from the reactions of the warrior couple that Fine even has no taste, or from the pungent smell that stings your nose.
..But why?
Licht was inhaling the food Fine had made without showing any expression.
He must have said he hated writing. If you ask for something like that, it’s impossible not to give it to you.
‘Are you kind..?’
Looking at his expression, he looks like he’s really enjoying it. There were even small tears in his eyes.
That little act of kindness continued to make Fine Fine uncomfortable. Cook, the feeling of being stabbed in the heart with a small needle.
“Thanks to you, I ate well. It was very delicious.”
Richt stroked her hair while laughing. Now, the distance that has become so close is awkward.
Fine felt like she would become addicted to the rough-and-tumble touch of a man petting her.
She rebelled in her own way and turned her head away, but Licht only smiled at her.
‘Oh, looking at it now, my eyelashes are long.’
Fine looked at his brown eyes, as if they had been shaved by a craftsman, and evaluated them.
Unlike usual, the top button is undone.
Looking at her wet hair and the water droplets running down her collarbone, Fine swallowed her saliva as her throat rang.
Because of her appearance, noble ladies would have looked at her with sticky eyes a little while ago.
The assumption that, if Licht had been a little more fortunate, she could have been noticed by other nobles enough to have entered the service, made Finn uneasy.
Licht never met himself.
She tells a story she doesn’t know with a nameless saintess….
‘Why do you keep doing this….’
These days, Fine is beginning to get scared of men who keep feeling different.
Licht understands her Fine, but Fine is too short to know her Licht well.
Fine put her hand on the chest of her armor and complained of her tightness.
“Pine, where are you sick?”
“Gwa, it’s okay. Nothing.”
Fine chewed off her lower lip without realizing it. She hates her chest pains that come through now and then.
“..Would you like something sweet? You seem to be overdoing it.”
Whether she knows her feelings or not, she is Licht, who immediately brought green fruits from somewhere.
“What is this..? Richt?”
“Is it watermelon? I put it in the valley water to cool it down.”
It’s a watermelon, so if it’s a watermelon you know, it’s a disgusting fruit that doesn’t have any delicious parts.
“Is this the watermelon I know?”
“..It’s strange. Mr. Helm.”
From noble mtl dot com
However, the watermelon he brought was different. A watermelon full of red parts with no hollow parts when cut in half.
“There is a way to get them all.”
A different world.
Sometimes, warriors from other civilizations create new things or spread technology.
“..Wow, sweet!”
“Seriously, I’m dumbfounded….”
The watermelon that Licht is cutting and giving you now must be a similar pastry. The aftermath of the countless hero summons during the Demon God War.
“It’s cool… sweet… it’s like candy.”
Crunchy texture rather than crunchy. Fine held up a piece of watermelon with both hands and ate it.
The white tail inside the armor lost control and swayed.
Once again, Richt doesn’t save his share. Once is enough.
“..Licht, eat too.”
f*ck, Fine broke a piece of the watermelon he was eating and put it in Licht’s mouth.
As the mother bird feeds the baby bird, the natural flow led the warrior couple to stop eating for a moment.
“Ah, thank you.”
Licht smiles like an idiot while eating the watermelon Fine gave him.
Is it that delicious?
“Lambs! Please gather around the campfire!”
Finé was staring at Richt until someone called for Richt’s party soon after.
***
Fireworks shimmered under the night sky.
A campfire where firewood is piled up in layers. Around it, students from the academy sat around and chatted.
“Can I hold your hand? Mardol.”
I am breaking out in a cold sweat. But now, if I stay by Fine’s side, I can endure it.
“Hibb.”
She started to hiccup as she flinched again.
Still, how long has it been since we gathered together and lived a peaceful life like this? She was very nervous because Quer was coming out.
‘Because he is a gentle monster. I’ll be fine.’
Originally a monster that protects weak wild animals in the forest. Even if they are creatures made of mana.
Because there are some types that won’t harm you if you treat them normally.
“Licht.”
Fine opens and closes the hand she holds as she talks. The surroundings are already noisy, and her voice is drowned out.
“Licht… Misses the original world?”
“..Why suddenly?”
“I was just.. Curious..”
Are you afraid that I will leave? Come to think of it, Dennis and the Heavenly Demon were unique.
Dennis didn’t have to go back to Korea, where the gates were already open and monsters appeared.
This place would have been better than the world where Baek Mokryeon, the Heavenly Demon, would die or be killed.
Fine may be wary of this part.
Because there is a setting that if the warriors of the other world complete their mission, they will return to the world they came from.
So the reward on my status window was ‘return to the real world’.
“I miss you, but….”
I spoke while gently holding Fine’s hand.
It is a place where her people gather, so seeing her wearing her glass helmet again leaves a bitter feeling.
“..There is still work to be done. I won’t be back until then.”
There is no reason to go back yet. Even if it’s a game world, the pain and death you feel here is real.
I’m not going to go until I make our fines happy. I have no family or relatives waiting for me in the first place.
If there is someone who is most like family to me now, it would be my grandparents who raised me from the village.
‘..It must be fine.’
I thought carefully about whether it was a white wolf watching the campfire next to me.
“Catching the demon king..?”
“It’s more complicated than that. Maybe more difficult?”
To complete the grand route by connecting the love lines of the characters.
Because there are couplings I don’t know about, such as Drake and Sage. You have to be more active.
Maybe something will come out if you catch the demon king Heukun.
“What is that? Strange.”
At that time, a laugh burst out of the glass helmet, and Fine slapped me on the shoulder as if there was no need to worry.
Pine has lost a lot of her blunt side lately. Come to think of it, sometimes I say respectful things.
What the hell happened to her to become a nameless saint?
Combining the information I know so far, I think it was because of the demon king of the cult of warriors.
Erasing names and existences with the power of overlaying lies, and making them forgotten by those around them with the power of ignorance.
‘The power of brute force made the mighty force powerless….’
Then, what is the reason for poor use of divine power?
The power of being a saint is strong enough to purify her vampires, just like what Chartines showed at the social gathering.
“….”
At that moment, a thought struck me.
The feeling I felt when I cut down the powerless demon king was strange.
I remembered the situation when the inside was empty, like when I cut a doll made of paper.
The force’s name was Finn, not Intinium. There was still a danger factor, being followed by Magic Hat.
I feel anxious.
A small and flickering flame. The raucous chatter begins to sound like stretched tape.
In addition to that, the trees swaying in the wind move slowly as if time has stopped.
A shimmering, shimmering appearance.
I glared at the blurry afterimage.
“Mardol, something is wrong right now——”
Even the words that come out of my mouth are slowing down as if I turned on slow video.
There must be only one thing that can create this phenomenon.
‘..The apostle of indolence.’
I looked up at the sky and saw a dazzling white moon. A circular ring with a slightly different color seen inside.
It is similar to the loading window, but different.
In the Night Heart Trilogy, the loading window is expressed as a white halo-like dragon biting its own tail and returning.
However, the one you see now has no wings or horns. A shape as smooth as a snake.
Ouroboros. There was one existence of a half-dragon that appeared as a distant descendant of the dragon in the loading window.
Apostle of sloth. Heinel.
He’s the one who puts the slow status abnormality on the player. It took the form of an attack by allowing the speed of objects around it to flow as it is.
Was it a setting to amplify or reverse the opponent’s indolence?
Why did the Apostle of the Cult of Braves come to Calcium Valley?
I tried to shout to the surroundings to evacuate, but. I couldn’t react properly because my body was moving slowly.
At that moment, a cold touch touched my shoulder.
Shooaaa ─.
Suddenly, heavy rain began to fall, and the water in the valley next to it was swelling in an instant.
