Chapter 194
Gaecheon (1)
After Nikolai crashed, I didn’t bother looking out the window to see his end.
Because he knew it wasn’t what he wanted.
In addition, his sincerity toward Anya was also mentioned.
It was only for a moment, but Nikolai, who shook Anastasia Ivanov, went that way.
I didn’t like that guy’s work.
His sincerity left more impressions on me than I thought. However, no matter how deep the afterglow he left behind is.
The living must live.
have to live somehow
“No, let’s go. It has to be finished.”
“… … okay.”
I can’t stop here
The reorganization of the city took place faster than expected.
“This nonsense… … .”
These were the words uttered by a military Awakener from the air base as soon as he saw the sight of Ussurisk.
First of all, after realizing the seriousness of the situation, they immediately started cleaning up the city with the military.
Among the living, those who did not become an Awakener, but had magical aptitude, suffered no damage.
They have not been transformed into monsters at all, and they can be fully active with a little first aid.
However, there could not be so many lucky people like this, and they ended up being a minority in the city.
The majority of ordinary people will have to undergo surgery in order to continue their daily lives.
“It was fortunate that I knew where the magic was, if not… … Ugh-. Just imagining it is horrific.”
“Haa, should I call this a relief…? … .”
“Good luck then. It’s better than dying when the spell is fully completed.”
Those were the words that Elizabeth and Desiree, who had joined me, shuddered at. I couldn’t deny there.
Because the current situation was exactly what they said.
The city was noisy and confused.
And taking advantage of that gap, my teammates and I quickly got out of the city.
With the military deployed, there was nothing left for us to do in that city.
I just locked the door and walked out of the empty street and headed north, out of the city.
To wrap up why I’m here.
“The night the person who called himself [The Knight of the Apocalypse] came to visit me, the sky was clear, but it was particularly cold.
they suggested to me
I will give you the strength to achieve revenge, so why don’t you cooperate with yourself?
I nodded after thinking for a while.
Originally, I would have done it with my own strength, but this time I couldn’t hold their hands for the first time.
Because their plans and mine were intertwined. And as part of that plan, I agreed to help create their ‘soldier’… … .”
When I first saw the scene of Khabarovsk – the main Siberian base of the Holy Apocalypse – it was impossible with our team alone, so we had to retreat without any results.
Not now.
“Désirée, you said he was ‘debted’ to you, right?”
The situation was not good enough to request an aircraft from the military, so I took my eyes off Nikolai’s diary in my hand on the one-car train that was provided instead, looked at Desiree and asked.
“yes? Ah yes. Write-. It was. Thank you for allowing me to retreat, and I will definitely pay this debt someday.”
Desiree, who had been dozing off with her eyes closed quietly sitting across from me, woke up in surprise when I called, looked around, and answered while looking at me.
Elizabeth, who had been sleeping with her face against the window sill beside Desiree, twitched in her ears.
“Don’t suffer so much, just get up and listen. You’ll find out anyway when you get to Khabarovsk.”
“… … Hmmm. If you say so, I won’t refuse.”
Elizabeth cleared her throat and woke up at once, but Anya, who was sitting right next to her, seemed to be tired from yesterday’s fatigue and long journey, and was completely asleep and only breathed lightly.
“So who are you calling? Even if halfway guys are added, nothing will change, right?”
“A guy who can’t live without debt to others.”
To Elizabeth, who was tying up the back of her hair with a rubber band, I answered while twisting the corners of my mouth.
“The conditions for the reinforcements we need this time are quite demanding.”
“… … ?”
Monsters are citizens who have changed, so a guy with a halfway sense of justice or sensibility is only going to catch his ankle.
Conversely, those who move after receiving a price from us will move as we requested, but those who move only with money or in kind are unlikely to have such high skills.
Even if this side is also added to our team, it is difficult to expect anything in reality.
Even if he learned about the Holy Apocalypse and the upper world there, there was no big shake, or he needed reinforcements he already knew.
There is also a geondeokji that can move according to our will, and it is even better if you are closely watching the radical move of the holy Apocalypse.
“… … Does a guy like that exist in the world?”
Upon hearing my condition, Elizabeth replied with a puzzled expression.
The notoriety of the Holy Apocalypse was already so great that it was taught as a class in schools. Because it wasn’t just one or two things they did.
That’s why this side was rather easy to convince.
Before leaving, I looked through Nikolai’s diary and told them what I had learned – that the Holy Apocalypse was behind this incident and that their base was Khabarovsk.
And I revealed that I was going to stop them this time.
At my words, Anya said it didn’t matter as long as it was me, and Elizabeth expressed concern but seemed to believe in my skills.
I was just worried about whether Desiree could do it alone.
In response, I said let’s call in reinforcements now.
And someone worth coming to support.
“Yes, why not?”
Fortunately, there was a guy who was exactly right for the current situation.
Elizabeth tilted her head, but Desiree, who already knew who was coming, sighed.
If he knew who it was, it was clear that Elizabeth would run amok and oppose her, so he spared her words.
Her sigh was full of worry.
“Will he really do what we asked for?”

“Long time no see. Princess Elizabeth, Saint Chevalier. And the golden sun.”
“Um-so-so-?! Why is that guy here?!”
A man approached us as we got off near Khabarovsk.
Short blonde hair and a main sword gleamed in the sunlight on his waist.
“Uh, um. hello? My name is Anastasia Ivanov… … .”
“Nice to meet you. Anastasia Ivanov. My name is the wandering knight ‘Jack Daniel’. Please do well.”
“Oh my gosh—!!!”
With the tip of her trembling index finger, pointing at ‘Jack Daniel’, Elizabeth limped to the point where she raised her hand to the handle of the sword.
“Elizabeth!”
In spite of my cries, ‘Tsureung!’ With the sound of metal rubbing against each other, Elizabeth’s sword was pulled out halfway.
Seeing Elizabeth’s sword emitting a blue light, I immediately pressed her hand down into the palm of my hand and said, ‘Tak!’ At the end of that short note, the sword was soldered back into the scabbard.
Seeing the sword that was easily sutured and the emotions flowing through me, Elizabeth had no intention of seriously attacking me. It’s just that the way she expressed her anger was rough.
“no! hey-! Let go of this, Golden Sun!”
“You endure.”
Elizabeth glared at me with ringed eyes.
I’m sorry. But what can I do? Even if they inform the government right now, it would take a long time to consider the political situation, the number of high-level Awakeners remaining in the country, and so on.
However, if he informed the Sword Master, it was clear that he would be bothered by this and that.
In conclusion, it was the fastest way to ask Jack for help.
As a result, Jack arrived in Khabarovsk less than half a day after Desiree and I requested.
“Even though I taught you so, do you still show your emotions so easily? Still nothing has changed. We have a long way to go, Princess.”
“Me me!! Look what he’s talking about! Geumtaeyang, do I have to put up with this?!”
And now. Taunting the princess in real time.
no. To call it a provocation would be just expressing her own feelings, but it must not have been from Elizabeth’s point of view, who accepted it.

Jack stared at Elizabeth, who was holding onto me, whimpering and losing her temper, then turned her gaze to Desiree, apparently losing interest.
The guy who had been quietly looking her up and down opened his mouth before long.
“I came to see why the saintess who obtained the divine power asked for help… … . was it something like that You lost your power.”
“yes. I became an ordinary saint again.”
Desiree said nothing to him.
Staring at Desiree, Jack continued to speak.
“There isn’t much to lose when you’ve got that level. So I infer You lost your power because you broke a taboo. All I can think of right now is… … .”
Suddenly, his gaze turned to me. Then, he turned to Desiree again.
Once more.
And once again.
And once again—
No, this crazy person?!
Only then did I realize what he was imagining, and I rushed towards him in fright.
“… … do not hesitate to speak There must be some reason I don’t know about.”
Fortunately, there were no mishaps coming out of the guy’s mouth. It seems that there was minimal notice.
I wondered if I sang well, and I sighed.
In a bright mood after a long time, I wondered if I should take this as a good sign. But the trouble didn’t last long.
＜───!!!＞
It was because the flying monster that was floating in the sky with its huge wings wide open let out a grotesque sound.
A grotesque roar reverberated through the snowfield.
“I think it would be better to end the rubbish here. It seems the time has come to pay off my debt.”

Jack looked up at the sky and said with a frown.
as he said
It was because the atmosphere changed in an instant when the flying monster, who should be called a rogue bird, screamed.
I felt the ground on my feet vibrate.
I could see the snowflakes gently falling on the top of the snowfield and the city, trembling up and down due to the vibration.
And that was the beginning.
＜───!!!＞
＜───!!!＞
＜───!!!＞
＜────────────!!!＞
The white curtain that spread out with the momentum to cover the whole world soared high.
At first, I thought it was an avalanche. However, the terrain was too flat for an avalanche to occur.
The direction where there is a city that is not attacked from above.
In other words, it was coming up from a low place.
It’s not an avalanche.
A disaster of nature that humans cannot resist.
It was close to a tidal wave.
I felt that it was a bizarre ocean.
Of course, a tsunami should have been made of water, but it was different now.
It was because it was not an ordinary wave, but an endless procession of monsters.
A drooling monster with its mouth wide open, a monstrous bird flying out of the vast expanse with its wings wide open, jumping on two feet, running on four legs, flapping its wings, and digging into the ground.
The guys approached their prey in different ways.
In the face of a great disaster approaching from afar, Jack took a step forward.
His back was in the forefront towards an overwhelming catastrophe.
“Saintess, did you say you wanted to capture that city?”
“Yes, it is.”
“It will be whatever you want it to be.”
I saw it at the very end of the moment.
That is, the corners of his mouth twisted upwards.

Jack twisted the corner of his mouth and put his hand on his waist.
Taking a deep breath, he drew his sword. lifted high in the sky
-「Final Ends」
After dying for a moment, he ordered the endless ocean to part.
—The sea split in half.
