[Looking at you, I have been thinking about you all the time.]
Minerva, who wore something like scales of armor like me, opened his mouth with a hoarse, trembling voice.
It was still a good voice to listen to, unlike mine, which made a terrible noise, like scraping iron.
She continued to speak with one voice until something dreamy.
[I wanted to become a human like you, and I wanted to put on such hard armor like you. It doesn’t make sense when it’s a body. When it is in human form, when it is in this form, it is only meaningful.]
Saying so, she tapped and tapped the floor of the building with her legs.
[Yeah, I wanted to be like you. I envy you, I envy you, and I want to catch up with you. The only person who overcame me. While I was chasing after you, grinding my teeth to kill you… When I came to my senses, at some point, I was just following you.]
Minerva looked somewhat relieved.
[I wanted to stand by your side. So I got a human body. You put armor on your body, so I also wanted to do the same, so now I have to put on a new armor like this.]
Minerva paused for a moment and then asked me.
[You tell me. How much am I like you now? Were they very similar?]
To that, I took a deep breath and answered.
[If you were going to look like me, wouldn’t it be similar to my personality? I’m a non-violent pacifist. If that was the case, I think it could have been resolved better.]
In response to my grumbling, she was silent for a moment, then murmured in a crawling voice.
[…] Did such a person use such abusive language and sarcastic sarcasm as soon as they saw me? To be honest, it was you who suddenly provoked and angered me, which I was trying to solve through conversation.]
[Hey, that.]
Before I could say anything, Minerva nodded sadly.
[…] Well, I understand.]
She murmured as if somehow dead grass.
[I know too. That I am just a monster in your eyes. Because to you, I am merely an enemy of mankind that must be sealed, and Minerva, considered the worst of the Seven Evil Species. And then, in front of others, suddenly pretending to know you and pretending to be friendly, because you’re nothing more than a suspicious monster.]
Somehow, as if blaming herself, she continued to speak in a self-blame manner.
[…] … .]
[I understand everything. So, in any case, you have nothing to mind. … Anyway, even if you say something like this, it means nothing anymore.]
I don’t know why.

Originally, if the enemy I had to defeat had such a weak appearance… .
If it was me, I would have cleverly coaxed it to induce a bigger gap or deceived my opponent.
But for her appearance, as if she had lost everything, I was giving her an apology without realizing it.
[sorry.]
[yes?]
Minerva sighed and swallowed her nose, looking at me.
[I’m really sorry. Everything that insulted you and said things that made fun of you and made fun of you. I’m really sorry.]
[…] … .]
[If you say something like this, your anger will not go away. And this isn’t really an excuse… .]
Even as he spoke, he couldn’t figure out why he was saying this to her.
why?
[It was not my intention to say that to you. He, did you also say that the energy of the Seven Evils affects the body and mind. Margot’s abilities were especially so. therefore… .]
[Is that so?]
Minerva nodded and shook her head up and down.
[Yeah, that’s it. I don’t even care anymore.]
In response, Minerva looked thoughtful for a moment, and then nodded once more as if he had made up his mind.
[Since you have honestly told me your truth, I will also tell you one thing I have hidden from you.]
[yes?]
[Actually, you don’t have to cover your entire face like this when you wear this armor. Because my skin can’t even be scratched with just a few cutlery.]
Minerva murmured, tapping the area that covered his face with his fingers.
[If it becomes this form, it is actually a half-human, half-dragon… It almost looks like a dragon. So I just didn’t want to show my changed face.]
She added quietly.
[T, especially to you, I didn’t want to be seen… .]
She murmured in a crawling voice and shook her head.
Then he immediately started to take a stance and looked straight at this side.
The bright crimson eyes were pointing this way.
[Saddam was long. Now, let’s start enjoying it in earnest.]
With those words, her mood changed completely.
Seeing that, he raised a thorn spear and posed as if to contain her.
Like a crocodile hunting for food… No, it was like looking at a single beast.
With both feet and both hands on the ground, she was looking at me with her body bent.
[I will go.]
[Anyway oh… !?]
Without answering her soft words, I hurriedly turned around.
It was because he had a premonition that his spine was about to freeze.
And I was able to confirm that my foreboding was not wrong with the pain felt from the long cut in my side.
[Avoiding this is a good thing!]
She came at me like, literally like a beast.
It was moving in all directions at a speed that could not be followed by the eye, as if it were slowly slicing its shell.
The problem was that it was none other than this side where the shell was being scraped off.
Pulling the spear to block her attack, I suddenly raised the spear towards one side.
[Well?!]
There was Minerva caught in the shadow of Henir.
Swamp of Shadows.
A skill that grabs the opponent’s ankle.
As soon as I saw her captured, I without hesitation threw a thorn spear towards it.
[Did you think you could hold on to me like this!]
But before my spear could reach her, she shrugged off Henir’s shadow.
No, it wasn’t enough to get out of there, but on the contrary, I bumped into it towards this side.
[Cool!]
I tried to block her by spreading the thorns that formed the spear, but to no avail.
In that brief moment when she ran into the air, she skillfully moved her wings and tail to slash all the thorns, and even left a deep scar on me in the process.
Here I was reminded of a fact I had overlooked.
That she was a dragon, not a human.
And in the first place, she was used to walking on four legs instead of two, and it was the simple fact that that figure was what she could do with all her energy.
[Why? You can’t resist at all.]
She climbed over a pipe protruding from the smashed exterior and looked down at me.
Looking up at it, I took out the object I had hidden in Henir’s shadow.
It was the root that Raune, with a solemn expression on her face, had torn off me before coming here.
With it in my mouth, I started using everything I could.
Myeonggyeong Index.

Oak Chieftain’s bracelet.
Banshee’s necklace… .
He stared at her while using everything he could possibly use.
Minerva was looking at this side as if it was fun, as if he wanted to do whatever he wanted.
‘It is not yet time to use the crown of thorns.’
If you use a thorn coffin, the still short duration is halved.

Of course, I don’t know if I could focus all my energy on defeating her, but there was no guarantee that she would fight her head-on, who had already noticed what the thorny coffin was.
If it is used without meaning, then there is really no way left.
[You can hear the sound of your head rolling all the way here.]
With a chuckle and a laugh, she got up to a relaxed posture.
I sighed and held out the window to her.
I can’t keep up with her pace.
Even if the attack was successful, there was no way he could break through that armor and inflict a fatal wound.
then… .
[Are you still far away? If we wait longer, the shorter one of the two will die out of nowhere.]
With those words, she took a stance to run towards this side.

Okay… After all, it was the judge.
As it was, I ran towards her with a loud cry.
Then Minerva grinned and flew straight to me.
[Huh!]
When the spear was thrown with all his might with the sound of the cheer, the thorn spear spread out like a net once more.
But Minerva shouted as if it was just plastic.
[You think that a simple attack like this will work for me, dear. Are you trying to disappoint me!]
She used her horns to bounce off the flying spear and ran towards me with her horns raised.
[…] Whoops.]
pooh.
It was a terrifying sound.
Because it was the sound coming from my body, I may have felt it even more.
Her horns pierced my body.
[Ah, uh… .]
As the consciousness began to fade, I smiled quietly.
* * *
[…] It’s over.]
Minerva muttered as he looked at Yoo Ji-hyeok, who was hanging in the air with his horns pierced.
His expression was obscured by the king of thorns, but drops of blood were flowing non-stop through the tiny cracks.
His blood running down his horns.
Seeing this, Minerva suddenly felt like a child, wanting to lay down everything and cry.
Minerva, who was half kneeling, slowly began to stand up.
As a result, his body pierced by her horns also swayed in the air.
[I hope it will end like this.]
She let out a big sigh.
It was her horn that was her greatest pride, honor, and pride itself.
In the past, even if someone insulted or touched him, he would pursue him to the ends of the earth and take his life in return.
It was Yoo Ji-hyuk who taught me how to fight using such horns.
And now he took his life with the horns.
[…] … .]
The thought of wanting to cry somehow grew stronger and stronger.
Now one.
There are four humans left to kill, but all of a sudden, Minerva realized that she was very tired.
Shall we just go back and lie down and fall into a deep sleep without a promise?
With that in mind, Minerva carefully moved her horns and dropped him to the ground.
His body slumped and rolled on the floor helplessly.
[Fortunately, my heart got out of the way.]
Minerva looked down at him and muttered quietly.
She thought about taking his body as it is, but then changed her mind and slowly raised her hand.
[Then, as promised, take out your heart and eat it… !]
Without speaking, she covered her stomach and chest with her hands.
I started to feel pain along with a burning sensation.
A harsh cough erupted without me knowing, and then she sat down, feeling the pain as if her body had been pierced.
[Big black… ?! hey, what is this… .]
Blood gushed out of his mouth, and soon after, piercing and pitting wounds began to open in his abdomen and chest.
At some point… ?
It was time for her to vomit blood, thinking in doubt.
[Uh, uh… I thought I was going to die… .]
He, who had been lying down as if dead, trembled and moved.
[how… ?]
Minerva murmured, feeling the shock, the astonishment, and the relief beneath him at the same time.
[The intestines were dug up, how are they alive? ?]
[That’s it… .]
Hehehe, he also vomited blood and grinned with a smile.
[Because you took half of my wounds.]
share the pain.
Half of the shock received for a certain period of time is passed on to the opponent, and the other half is the same skill as a water ghost.
There was no way Minerva could find out that he had endured by using the fortitude that could withstand even more wounds without falling.
Even as he vomited blood, Yoo Ji-hyuk slowly got up.
Minerva was still sitting there.
[Hey, it’s still a long way off. did you? I want you to be together forever.]
So wake up
Come on, let’s continue.
With those words, he created the spear again.
Seeing him still standing, spitting up blood, Minerva let out an exhilarating breath involuntarily.
[Ahh… .]
Feeling an indescribable ecstasy, Minerva nodded her head blankly.
