Colossus Hunter

< 38. Minsik Kim (ix) >

He was hope.

He was the light, and the frog in the well was the only one who showed me the outside.

“The Creepy Star.”

I recalled the name.

The man Alethia told me to kill.

His name, his best friend.

Alettaia calls him "The Devil." He has the essence, and he's Daemon-Lord.

Does that make sense?

‘You shouldn't have taken his name out. ’

I have only one flaw.

It is neither greed nor my own weakness.

Frightening. Those three letters were my greatest weakness.

- You haven't paid the price yet. It's not fair to die now.

I still can't forget my eyes back then.

I have committed so many sins. Not everyone in Aleatia can do it.

However, on that day, I was chosen as the ‘offering’ of Aleatia to respond to God.

So he was very sad that his death was confirmed.

‘I was sacrificed because I wanted to. To escape into the past, Hansung told us to live in the present life. ’

So he's Daemon-Lord?

It was absurd. If the man who dedicated himself to this world was Daemon-Lord, there would be no one not evil in the world.

Aleatia didn't seem to read my ‘memories’ and even read my feelings. If I had read it, I would never have brought up the name "Loneliness."

From the moment I heard the name of the strange star, I woke up from a deep sleep. Then I realized how powerless and weak I was.

‘I am weak. ’

I wanted to be a hero like him, but I found that it was not enough.

I had to be more desperate. But it is absurd to borrow the power of other beings. If I don't try to be a hero myself, everything is useless.

‘The world is running toward destruction. Yeah, maybe no matter how hard you try, it's impossible. ’

Heartbreaking monsters.

It may be impossible to kill them all.

However, if you have fewer than a decimal point, you have to challenge the perception. But if I become a monster, I end up making the same mistake over and over again.

But · · · · · · · · · He wanted to be human to the end.

I wanted to die a mortal even if I died, and I was dedicated only to a mortal.

I reminded you again.

‘I wanted to be like him. ’

The dream still hasn't changed.

Rather, I became more intense at this moment.

I haven't been able to crack my eggs because I've been so caught up with her.

But I won't be stuck in an egg forever.

‘It is time to break the egg. ’

* * * * *

The more information about Aleatia spread, the more damage it caused, the more nervous the world became. The person next door, who was fine, suddenly becomes an apostle, opens the 'door’ and summons the monster.

As a result, you have blind hostility towards humans, which is not normal at all.

How much more disaster would happen if the top leader became an apostle?

“Hahaha, nice to meet you. Mr. Arken, I've missed you so much. ”

You look at the man who summoned a number of bugbears.

A 7 Level Advanced Monster.

A monster in the form of the world's worst bear.

The man in the uniform had three stars on his chest. Lieutenant, in the modern world, a man can be referred to as a solo army, but no one will know that he is raising Bugbear in his villa.

“It's no big deal that I invited Mr. Arken. Will you make a deal with me? I may have been an apostle of Aleatia, but I'm not as stupid as the other apostles. ”

Unlike other apostles, there is reason. Someone who doesn't hunt people, who quietly builds his stage behind them. There were these people in the past.

‘They used to be executives. ’

There is a wooden executive in front of my eyes.

He boldly sent me an invitation himself.

“Still, it doesn't change that you're an apostle. ”

I raised my sword to his throat. You don't need a proper sword to hunt them down.

“Don't you want to hear the deal? Perhaps Mr. Arken will be very interested. ”

The commander is confident.

His pale hair and pouty expression were indeed different from the rest of the apostles.

But in the end, he was seduced by evil. I was about to blow my head off with a sword.

“Minsik Kim. It's about him. Maybe you know that. He was chosen by Aleatia as the next priest. ”

I creased my eyebrows.

The next priest.

No way, no way, but he did eat people.

Min Sik Kim, I can't believe he's really walking the path of a priest.

However, the commander's expression was filled with disdain.

“Actually, he was removed from the priesthood a few days ago. Now it's our problem. ”

I beg your pardon?

Dismissed from the priesthood?

The priest who was fine was suddenly dismissed.

‘Maybe.’

What if one in 10 million, one in 10, he overcame that powerful dream?

Then it was worth considering deprivation.

The commander taps his chest.

“I'd like to commission the Arken to eliminate him. So if I'm going to be the next priest, I'm going to stop that from ever happening again. ”

“There's no reason for me to take that quest. ”

“Aleatia and her followers will not disappear unless we kill our gods. that have already taken root all over the planet. Aren't you an apostle of justice? The true Apostle of Justice sometimes has to hold hands with evil. ”

You're right.

Evil never goes away.

If you have already rooted it once, its durability and vitality will be regurgitated.

But shapes can change. We hold hands with the devil, avoiding the worst. For example, if I join hands with the lieutenant in front of me now, I may be sure that Aleatia will look different from the past.

‘You're experienced.’

This man is experienced. It doesn't age backwards.

I know how to deal with people. Confident.

“How much more if it's a communicative evil? · · · · · · · · But we can't choose the next priest unless Min Sik Kim is present. If the chaos continues like this, some countries will simply fly away. ”

“That's why all the apostles are after him. ”

In recent days, the movements of the apostles have changed.

They were aiming at me, and they changed their goal.

I had my doubts, but I didn't think that's why.

“Come on, Arken. Join me. You're hostile to us because we end up attacking people, aren't we? I've studied quite a bit about you. You have your own line of sight. You can call it belief. ”

The commander was speaking with an attitude of knowing me very well.

He continued:

“You think of yourself as an apostle of justice. Technically, the dark knights. I don't give a shit about the people around me. The one and only source of your power, your own sacrifice. ”

The commander's eyes narrowed.

“I felt the will to wear myself and change the world. But, Arken, you can't change the world on your own. If you go on like this, you will either kill yourself or die miserably in three years. I've seen some of those friends. ”

Difference between reality and beyond.

That's what the commander is saying.

But there was something he didn't know.

I have already gone through that process several times.

“Let's make a deal. You must learn more. It's like a strong, immature child. But together, we can make a better world. I will join your dream. ”

The commander reaches out his hand.

If it was so natural, I would have held hands without even knowing it.

But I silently slit his hand.

Gaaaah!

“Cough, cough, cough! ”

He quickly pulls out his hand, but the lower part of his wrist is already cut off.

After returning, I tried to abandon my hero's path. He made a compromise with the evil called Daemon-Lord to change the course of the game.

But... was it?

I really didn't get rid of the two letters "hero."

“Why, why are you doing this? Are you trying to keep the chaos going? Arken, aren't you taking a different route than you've been taking? ”

“I hate it when people judge me. ”

“Well, then, let's abandon that attitude. But killing me won't change anything. On the contrary, if you save me, it's obvious! ”

“Bad people always say good things. ”

He doesn't say anything about weaknesses, but only advantages.

It's a trait of the bad guys.

And that's the general's attitude right now.

If he really becomes a priest and gains power, it will certainly change back and forth. Or he's trying to trick someone.

I don't make deals with those people.

Slowly, you raise your sword.

More than anything else.

“You studied me. You don't know me very well. ”

I smiled small.

Minsik Kim, the love in those three letters, and I had already worn myself for a long time.

I have to.

You couldn't have known.

* * * * *

- Shock! State the reality of Aleatia.

- Kim Min-sik, is he really the priest of Aleatia?

- It reveals how it eats monsters.

- The chase of the century.

- Apocalypse Guild Waste Crisis.

- Minsik Kim is the most wanted man in the world.

It's not just Aleatia.

From that day on, Min Sik Kim began chasing all over the world.

The secret CCTV was flowing, and the scene of Kim Min-sik devouring the monster spread to the world vigorously and created a movement that did not want to put him in the same "human" category.

Everything was organized.

It was clear that the congregation in Aleatia had influenced them.

In addition, some captivated believers said, 'Kim Min Sik is our priest,' and committed to raising his stock price.

Is it real or fake?

It didn't matter.

Aleatia attacked people and their disbelief in them had already soared to the sky. People focused on him for his blind malice.

“Ha ha, ha ha · · · · · · ·! ”

I ran in the mountains.

How many people have they killed already? How many monsters have you killed?

But there was no end.

Along with the congregation of Aleatia, like Hale, the number of hunters running for his bounty has reached a tipping point.

- It's not too late now. Follow me. Commit to me. Then everything will change.

“Shut up! You're just a little monster trapped inside me. Monsters can't control me! ”

Kim Min-sik broke his egg.

Then the evil that lay in him was trapped in the egg.

He's locked up and trying to do something about it. Constantly seducing him.

But he overcame evil, and instead, he grew stronger, coveting his power.

“You are being taken away from me. I'm in charge. Beyond this, you're gone. Fake!”

- Let's say you're right. But what can you do alone? You have become the enemy of the world. No one will listen to you.

That's right, he quickly became alone.

News came out of Masscom all day long about him.

No matter which city he went to, he had no choice but to hide his appearance.

If even the slightest bit of a pirate is spotted, this many enemies will appear.

‘If you contact the Apocalypse Guild, you'll be exposed in no time. It'll all blow over in no time. ’

That's why I don't contact the Apocalypse Guild.

The Apocalypse Guild is his own hope.

It should not remain a glitch.

I solved this problem, and then I had to do it.

It takes time. Son of a bitch. Time to absorb all this fake "Aletaia."

“There he is! There's Min Sik Kim! ”

Someone shouted.

The voice echoes throughout the mountain.

Damn it!

He was alone. Completely alone.

I had to take matters into my own hands.

- It's not too late now. Will you die fighting a lonely battle alone? It's not that far from the hero you were so desperate for.

I tried to say that.

At the same time, ribs protrude through his flesh near his chest. All the ribs begin to wrap around him like armor.

‘A new power. ’

The reason I could not die so far.

But even so, I'm satisfied. I had to get out of here somehow.

Can you do it?

Minsik Kim asked me about it.
