129 – Lane Guard On
+++
They started traveling from an early age, and have lived with all their nerves on the battlefield, where a single inattention makes their necks run away at such a time when children of their age play and develop their dreams.
A colleague who laughed and talked right in the morning could disappear in the afternoon. It was a poisoned chalice that made their camaraderie strong as well as nerve-racking.

Not wanting to feel the futility of losing, Lane Guardon suggested adding people with the potential to not easily get caught and die, or who already had such power. And he always did what she said.
The process was extremely difficult, but in the end, I was able to defeat the Demon King without losing my trusted colleagues. Of course, there were many sacrifices of others in between.
So did the others. The first and last day I went with perfect colleagues, and saw the end without replacement due to the death of a colleague or personal circumstances. In particular, one of their greatest prides was that there was no conflict enough to raise their voices and fight in the process.
Ereon denied their pride from the front.
In fact, isn’t it close to impossible to live a life without even a hint of conflict for more than 10 years, like everyone else? All of them had endured to avoid conflict.
That which had rotted and festered inside was piling up even more, especially when he was caught among the masses of talented people.
There was a lot of blood on one person’s hand. I saw the death of a being that could communicate with my own two eyes, and killed the person I was talking to a while ago. He rolled his body and overworked his mind. It was because I thought to myself that I could have an equal relationship with them if I did that.
The things accumulated through such extreme sacrifices had now exploded, and they could only now realize that they were included in the reason.
I didn’t believe everything the devil said. But, as she said of peeking into their memories, everything she was saying now was actually what they had been through.
That’s why I had no choice but to listen even if I didn’t like it. Because this demon seemed to know something.
“You… what do you know? Why do we believe you?”
“I know. How many people do you think can use that curse?
“..how,”
“You said you saw the memory. Think carefully. If you threaten me here, I won’t open your mouth until I die.”
Even with one of his arms blown off, Ereon smiled leisurely. However, the sight of a drop of cold sweat running down his smooth cheek clearly showed that his attitude was bluffing.
“say.”
Lane opened her eyes and said to her. The spirit that seems to be crushed is conveyed intact. It seemed that my body was pressed against the floor instead of listening to me.
Ereon looked at her without even tidying up his disheveled hair. At Ereon’s eyes, Rain raised his weapon once again and struck it down without hesitation.
A blade of coexistence of holy power and magical power pierces her shoulder. The rod part touched the shoulder blade and made a small hitting sound. But, incongruous with that sound, her arm came off too easily, like a piece of cooked meat.
“Kuh.. uhh..”
“say.”
I had a taste for my eyes. In order to completely bring out the words that scratch Eron’s nerves and his secret that only he knows, he exploded his anger under the pretext of…
Overwhelmed and unable to even dare to resist, he cut off Ereon’s feet. As soon as the dismembered body part touched the ground, the severed wounds ripened and the bleeding stopped.
“Can you handle it? If you kill me like this, how are you going to cure this man? It’ll take ten years. It’s going to take y’all to get fed up and leave, or this man will become disillusioned with the world and commit suicide. Can’t Kill me if there is. Kill me!”
Ereon, who pretends to be strong and opens his mouth. I’ve pushed myself to this extent, so there’s a bit of a gap…
“Why do you think I’m killing you?”
“Keuk..”
Lane, not showing any change in complexion, put his foot on her collarbone and put his weight on it. The weight of the rain guard-on itself was light, but the weight of the armor she was wearing was considerable. As soon as she began to put on the weight and give it a little bit of strength, quickly. I started hearing the sound of bones cracking.
“Uh… uh uh…”
“I won’t kill you. Until I get all the information from you.”
Eron couldn’t speak. It was hard to even flick my toes under the pressure she was radiating. A situation where you feel like you need to get permission to breathe.
Rain looked down at Ereon and moved on to the next action.
“say.”
“..You freak.. never..”
plugged in
It stuck in Ereon’s thigh. Then, as if cutting the bone lengthwise, as if catching a fish, he slowly pulled it from his thigh all the way to his toes.
“Uh.. Ug.. Uh..”
Crab foam rises between your teeth. Even so, he kept his mouth shut.
It was Lane who became impatient with such an appearance. Everything was heading to a dead end. As if the delayed karma exploded.
Lian fell for Ereon’s three tongues and was muttering as if confessing the wrongs he had done so far. Yes, even Rain was expecting this much. Because they were still young, not only in terms of their actual age, but also in their mentality.
Solar has been showing an incomplete appearance ever since she spoke directly to Ron. Even in the current situation where he is suffering, he was unaware of the situation itself and approached him, shouting if he was okay. This wasn’t even Rain’s prediction, but according to Ron, it was better to leave Solar here.
The person who actually said that had long since spread out.
A demon who maintains a far-fetched sense of reason even while biting on bubbles from the pain of having one leg split vertically. It seemed that this demon knew everything. It wasn’t difficult to blow something he was hiding. Because I had experience in that hidden space in Hidin.
Lane knew very well what demons fear.
“That.. Uh.. Psychological shock.. If you give it a mental shock, the condition will..”
“Yeah. Psychological shock… what next?”
“No! I can never say more than this..”
“horn.”
“Horns.. no horns..”
Eron’s shoulders twitched. It seems that he tried to cover his horns, but he couldn’t because he had no arms.
“Next are the pupils.”
“..Do you… think I’ll say that?”
Ereon spills the demonic energy he just created inside his body. Lane immediately grabbed her horn to stop it.
With a squeak, Ereon passed out with his eyes closed, but the demonic energy that had already been released lay thickly on the ground.

Now even Lane herself didn’t know why she was acting like this.
for him? Are you taking out your anger on the devil for him? resentment? Who are you mad at in the first place? Are you mad at yourself? Or this demon? Or is it this situation?

Numerous things that have been trampled on are wriggling under her feet. Whether it was the influence of demons or something that pierced his weakened mind, he briefly saw the screaming visions of countless lives that had passed by and could not be saved.
Lane hesitated for a moment. It was when she let go of Ereon’s horn and stepped back about half a step.
“lane.”
his voice. As soon as it reached my ears, I could clearly hear that voice that gave me relief and brightened my eyes.
“..! I’m listening.”
“Sorry. I interrupted again.”
Lane could hear the difference in his voice. It wasn’t a voice that had been extinguished by moaning in pain.
It was clear with no signs of stretching. That’s why it was even more scary. It’s like seeing a candle that burns everything in me for the last time.
She welcomed his clear voice, but at the same time was a little uneasy.
Demonic energy circulating in the body. If he had turned to the Devil’s side, it would be safe to say that it was the worst. According to what was written in his notebook, there was a part of him that seemed to yearn for visible strength. It can be seen that the reason is sufficient.
“theory.”
“yes.”
The answer came back. Lane was delighted with the self-willed answer.
“Do you come to your senses? Tell me if that’s the case. What do you mean don’t use magic? Do you know what this devil’s purpose is? You didn’t sell your soul to him?”
“Do you believe me?”
“Of course. It’s you, not anyone else.”
“okay, thanks.”
unrelenting voice. Unlike saying thank you, there was no change in expression. The corners of Ron’s eyes, which express all his emotions, did not move either. Lane confirmed it but pretended not to know. In order to temporarily postpone the unexpected event.
“Can I be of any help?”
“Yes. Of course. You’ve always been a help to us. We just weren’t saying it. The food you cook, the campsite you find, everything you do has helped us immensely.”
“So what you came back was to replace all the work I’ve been doing and give me a break? With one last goodwill, you did me a favor, did me one last favor, and then you were about to throw me away…”
“No, it can’t be.”
Rarely did Lane deny the words of others, cutting off his words at that. Lane himself was also aware of the reason for this, so he hurriedly denied it and said what he wanted with his own mouth.
“Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you leave me alone? Why did I…”
The moment tears came out of Ron’s eyes, she decided it was a dream or fantasy. Because he was the one who never shed a tear no matter how hard things went.
However, the tears flowing down the scarred face were foreign and shocking in themselves.
Even though I knew it was a welcome, I couldn’t say it carelessly. Lane slowly, very slowly, approached the tearful man. Tears dripping down his expressionless face felt like they had been shed without my knowledge, so even looking at it simply seemed full of emotion.
“I didn’t ask for anything big. I just wanted to be at ease. If you… just said one word that you believed in me, everything would be fine…”
“No.. I always thought so..”
“Thought? Thought. Yes, good idea. All I can say is that I did it with my mind. Right?”
“No… I’m sorry… I just thought it would be okay if it was you…”
“I’ve seen everything right next to you. The monsters you killed in one breath don’t even die, let alone die, even with hundreds of my swords. I can’t kill the demons you could have killed alone. I’m helpless and weak. I can’t stand next to you.”
“No. Ron, who said that to you? No, no. We believe in you. We have relied on you in the midst of many adversities and choices. I’m sorry I have to say it now.”
“If I hadn’t thrown my body, would you have said that? If I’d just scouted out normally and passably, would you have thought that? No, it’s not. In the end, what you need is raw strength. You need strength to help. I will stand by you with only my mental strength. I’m too short of it.”
“It’s not enough.. I…”
“I can’t use magic properly. I don’t have holy power, and I don’t get Odrox’s tattoo on my body. I can’t use my stamina recklessly to increase my strength during the adventure. After the breakup, a more serious reason came up. It’s not unreasonable if you look like you’re running away unsightly. You might feel this as an excuse now.”
“No. ..I didn’t see it that way.”
“Tell me I’d rather just throw it away. Get out of it because it’s useless. Tell me you don’t fit in with us. I’m too tired to hold on to a rope that seems like it’ll break while drawing endless possibilities by myself.”
“It’s okay.. It’ll get better if you rest well. Was this adventure difficult? If it’s something like that, I’ll help you…”
“No. It all happened because of my coercion, right? You guys must have had a hard time helping a mentally ill person for no reason. So let’s end it now. Please. We’re just tired of each other.”
“Finished..? No. Don’t say that. Don’t! Ron!”
“I’m sorry that this was the last time I showed you.”
illusion. It must be an illusion. What did the struggling devil do? There’s no way Ron would do this to us, right? So, find out. disparate parts.
She looked away.
The way to wake up from fantasy is to find something that doesn’t match the situation.
‘Find the real Ron. It’s all made up. I was having a hard time with Magi’s invasion. There’s no way you can raise your voice like this, right?’
Lane hurriedly turned her gaze to where he was.
there was nothing.
‘Why? Are you saying it’s not an illusion? Since when did it become a reality? Where does the truth come from?’
I closed my eyes and opened them. The few tears that flowed down his cheeks were gone. Even though Magi, who was thickly covered on the floor, entered the lane, it did not exert any special effect. I just showed an illusion that shed a few tears in his real appearance.
Still, the effect was enormous. Maybe it was because he said it in real life and not in an illusion, Lane’s expression visibly hardened.
