51 – People die and crumble
“Huh….”
Run.
“Heo-euk… Heo-euk…”
Run and run again.
He starts beating like his heart is about to burst, and he runs out of breath to the limit, but he runs nonetheless.
When Kang Eun-chan started running, the surrounding landmarks swung backwards in an instant. Goddess Abelida, which was full of warmth, began to be filled with blood and fire.
The further we moved towards the wall, the fewer people there were, and even those who were there were bleeding.
Saris, the Empress. Shortly after her arrival, serious damage beyond her words spread to the goddess Abelida. People were bleeding and dying, and screaming voices broke out in many places.
“Help me…Anyone…Anyone help me please…”
Tragedy came to people of all ages. No one, adults or children, could escape this tragedy. Thousands of people are bleeding. He is crying in pain and begging for help. It was terrible. This damage was only caused by the Demon King’s single move.
“Haa…Haa…”
Run. I see people in need of help, but I run nonetheless. As absurd as it may sound, priorities exist in structure.
Even in the emergency room, patients are not received in the order they arrive. Patients with amputated arms who came later are treated first than patients with missing toenails. Rather than treating patients whose arms were amputated, patients whose organs were ruptured in a car accident are treated first. It means that people who are more urgent are selected and treated.
Kang Eun-chan did the same. If you are stuck helping those around you because they need help, those in greater need will not be helped. What needed the most help at this point was none other than those standing in front of the Demon King.
“f*ck…A little faster…”
Ko Seung-min. His last wish before he died is to save children. To keep them from losing their dreams. And what is being attacked now is the nursery school where such children have gathered.
The demon king’s cruel blade does not discriminate between gender and age. He may soon kill the children. So, he ran. Run and run again Before he knew it, he reached the nursery school.
“Haa…Haa…”
When we arrived, there was a familiar figure. A creature with horns and wearing a bewitching outfit. And behind them are countless demons.
Saris, the Empress. And the demon corps she leads.
In Saris’ hand, there was a huge concentration of demonic energy. She used powerful magic on the nursery school and tried to blow her whole, but soon saw Kang Eun-chan and stopped her action. For her, her daycare was not important.
“You are here.”
Saree talked to Kang Eun-chan in a friendly way, as if she had seen someone yesterday.
“Why…why are you doing that?”
Kang Eun-chan asked Saris a question. Saris had never been able to massacre ordinary people in such a direct manner. Although she broke into the castle gate every time, she did not use such a mean and naive method and confronted Kang Eun-chan head-on. So, her behavior did not make sense.
“Why? Your question is wrong. You should thank me.”
Saris looked at Kang Eun-chan with a bewitching expression. And she, she pointed with her hand at the burning goddess Abelida.
-Please save me…
-My…My…Puppy…
-My brother’s foot is crushed. Please…
-Father, open your eyes! Father!
Honbi Baeksan. Many people have lost loved ones. Tears of blood flowed from the eyes of those who were dying, and this place, filled with quiet screams, reminded me of hell. Arguably, it was the most terrifying sight I had ever seen in my life.
Saris said to Kang Eun-chan with a satisfied expression.
“Hero, you have been working tirelessly to protect inferior humans. Fighting this body, you risked your life to protect people. By the way, look at the people, they exiled you, ridiculed, and despised you for foolish false accusations. They are just paying the price.”
There was nothing wrong with what Saris said. Abeli used Kang Eun-chan for s*xual water addiction. The residents who were deceived by her political agitation, and the warrior party members who did not believe in the hero even though they were on the same team. I couldn’t say they weren’t responsible. But.
-Turn it off…Please…
-Can anyone… Help me… Please…
-Mother…Mother…
He was dying. It’s not just one or two people. Thousands, even tens of thousands, were dying horribly. They couldn’t even resist, shedding blood and being brutal.
Those whom Kang Eun-chan once wanted to protect, those whom he had abandoned in anger at being betrayed, were screaming and dying.
“Saris. What are you talking about in return? Even if I punish, I will do it. You have no authority to punish me for me, and there is no need for that.”
Kang Eun-chan clenched her fists.
Not everyone was negative towards Kang Eun-chan. He tried to help, but in the end, Ko Seung-min died because he was wrong. His dream was to establish a foundation for young children.
Park Ga-hyeon, who grew up in a binman family but had a lot of affection, believed in Kang Eun-chan to the end even when everyone cursed at Kang Eun-chan, and her wish was for people to survive without suffering. That was all.
“f*ck…”
Abandoned. Some people believed in Kang Eun-chan, but Kang Eun-chan abandoned them. It’s because I got angry. It was so unfair and resentful that most people couldn’t understand their feelings. That’s why I abandoned people.
I can hear people screaming in the corner.
“Keuheuuu…”
A middle-aged man creeping up from the corner catches my eye. Kang Eun-chan knows him. He was the one I ran into when out on patrol from time to time.
– Warrior, it must be difficult, but thank you every time. It’s small, but it’s the sweet potato I’m harvesting. As long as you eat gear…
A middle-aged man who secretly patrolled and expressed his gratitude every time he ran into him. His hand, which was digging sweet potatoes with a simple heart, was cut off and disappeared. His feet were crushed, and all that was left was a mass that could hardly be called a human.
Kang Eun-chan turned his head at such a terrible sight. However, the man crawled on the ground and talked while looking at Kang Eun-chan.
“Yo… Hero… Oh… I knew you would come… All… You…”
A man who bleeds all over his body. Will die soon He knows he can’t live. However, he talked to Kang Eun-chan with calm eyes.
“Everyone…We’ve been waiting for you…Please…Give us…Salvation…”
– Plop
The man fell down. Looking around him, who had already collapsed, he saw several faces Kang Eun-chan knew. It was because there were many people who knew Kang Eun-chan in this place near the fortress wall.
However, none were alive. Everyone was dead
-Jureureuk
Tears flowed. Where did it go wrong Did they really doubt Kang Eun-chan? If so, would you have believed and supported me like the man who just died?
Is it wrong to break the seal like a child? Or, did those who did not believe in them receive the punishment they deserved? It was confusing. Judgment was lost, and only the faces of people dying horribly came to mind.
-Please help me… Help me…
Screams are heard. The people’s screams, brutally, are getting lower and lower. His breath quickens, and his voice begins to lose its power. I could see it from afar. Many were dying in real time.
Saris talked to Kang Eun-chan, who looked at people with blank eyes.
“Hero, don’t be foolish. You are the one who broke the seal. You thought you hated them in the end, so you didn’t act like that. It is not that he abandoned his body and was resurrected, and even changed his face and worked elsewhere. Why are you like this now?”
She spoke as she stretched out her arms.
“How about slaughtering all these foolish people, killing them, and then going to the Devil Castle with me? I will treat you well. I’ll give you the power equivalent to that of a demon lord, and I’ll grant you anything you want, in return. Stay by my side Become a warrior who protects me. Is that what I want?”
Kang Eun-chan lowered his head. I can’t see his expression Saris shook her head and went on with her.
“Anyway, I must have been foolish. Although we haven’t dealt with Goddess Abelida, the ringleader of the incident yet. She needs to kill her first so that you can be relieved. Wait.”
Saris ordered the other Demon King’s army corps commanders.
“Bring the goddess Abelia. I’m busy at one hour, so ignore the others and prioritize capturing Goddess Abelida. I’ll kill you if you waste your time doing other things, so take my word for it.”
“Yes! All right-!”
The commanders of the Demon King’s army answered in unison and headed to the place where they felt the energy of Goddess Abelida.
Saris approached Kang Eun-chan with a smile.
“Now, how about it? Do you intend to come to me now?”
Kang Eun-chan raised her head and looked at Saris. Her arms, neck and face were covered with human blood. Many people must have been torn to death by her hands. Among them, there must have been people who believed in Kang Eun-chan and waited for her like a man who fell to the ground.
It was foolish. I didn’t know.
She didn’t know that Go Seung-min, whom she had helped, had been robbed of gold and corrupted, and she didn’t know that there was a man in this village who was still waiting for Kang Eun-chan.
They both died. The late Seung-min died at the hands of Kang Eun-chan and her man at the hands of Saris.
The simple people who once had dreams and pursued hopes, now can no longer dream. They all died and crumble.
-Sueuk
Kang Eun-chan raised her sword. For some reason, tears started to fall from her eyes.
I have no intention of forgiving or asking for forgiveness now. This isn’t fulfilling one’s duties as a hero, nor is it a great sense of mission to save people by demonstrating a sense of choice.
“You…Don’t talk like you know me. Disgusting.”
Just the saris in front of her eyes. Her condescending attitude just didn’t like her. Thinking so, Kang Eun-chan raised her sword and she shouted.
“Come. Only this time, one of you and me will die.”
