Colossus Hunter

< 47. Last Auction (4) >

I couldn't answer for a moment.

Am I right about the horror?

He knows me, I'm from the past. The horror before the regression. After returning, I could never call myself ‘the same person’ as the past.

‘I was different. ’

In the past, I did not find meaning in life.

He was a hero. He was called a hero, so he acted like one.

But not now. Out of that role, I was looking for things that mattered more to me. I was feeling the kind of satisfaction that was similar to the past but never the same.

“What's the creepy castle you know? ”

“At least I wasn't the type to do things by myself. ”

“Did you? But people change. The world has changed. People don't change. ”

“That's why. ”

“You've changed, too, colonel. You're hiding something, too. And yet you continue to hold your tongue. You look like a puppy from the start. Remember that day, when you suddenly came to my house feeling sorry for yourself? ”

The colonist cries. He cries sincerely.

The day I came back from the dead.

He came back from the moment my parents died. If I had wanted to come back before, I could have come back, but I said I'm sorry I didn't, and I left like that.

Since then, he's changed.

I pretended to be strong, hiding the cowardice.

That's not the kind of colony I know.

“I · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The colonist also looks slightly embarrassed.

Didn't you imagine I'd ask you to reverse it?

But I also had a lot of questions. The exact state in which the colonists returned, the special events he's been experiencing since.

‘I wouldn't be the only one going through something unusual. ’

He would have contributed somewhat to the change in the past. I just don't know. And I wanted to hear it from him.

Regret. The fact that it came back from the past was like his Achilles case. However, if we truly want to establish ’faith,' there is nothing more certain than telling the truth.

Do you think he'll talk? Can I talk to him?

“I did it because I noticed a change in the world. You were the first one to realize that it could change. But if I could have noticed my change sooner, I could have kept you from going through all the trouble you've been through. ”

“You were able to stop my parents from dying? ”

But his answer was a little off my expectations.

I was angry at the same time.

“What my parents went through is an accident. I can't help it. The past is past. I wish I could have stopped it, but I couldn't. You don't have to be sad. If you were really sad, you should have left a flower at your parents' incense. You didn't.”

“I thought · · · · · · · · I should get stronger faster by a minute. So I thought I should protect everything I have. ”

“Yes. Now I'm being honest. It's just self-comfort after all. You just made it rational to see yourself grieving. Yang says it's a trigger, but it's not. ”

The colony's eyes are wide open.

From that point of view, you never thought about it.

But I think I'm right. He needed something to justify his change. It's about abandoning your past self and creating a new one. That was me.

The one who was the last hero. I said it was for me, but in the end, the whole process was just a projection of me.

‘Sadness was not a lie. ’

You must have been really sad. I'm not denying his feelings. However, since the cause of such emotion was only the projection of 'me’, it was remarkable to see it as an excuse.

“Colonial. Let's be honest. You want it, and I want it. I know we can't talk about everything here, but there's one or two secrets we can tell because of our relationship. ”

That I'm the Arken. You revealed your connection to Daemon-Lord. We were holding off on more than that because we didn't know if he would accept it or not.

I'm actually Uriel Diablo, and I've come back with you, and if I find out that I've been watching you like that for a while, I think I'm going out of my mind for a little while.

I can't tell you everything all at once, but hopefully one by one, one by one, that's the kind of relationship where you can leave your back completely behind one day.

“Before that · · · · · · · just check one thing first. You really are the creepiest thing I know. ”

“Who am I if I'm not terrified? ”

Even though Uriel Diablo's fairy tale rate has risen, my base is chilly. Humans who have lived on Earth and will live on!

Even if it did, my personality hasn't changed.

Seeing my confident face, he nodded.

“I'm sorry. I thought I was possessed by a creature called the God of Earth, or experiencing something as unique as myself. ”

Possession, I suppose.

“Something unusual? ”

“I · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I was unlucky, but he looked me in the eye and hesitated for a long time.

Whether you can say it now or not, you can't catch a cold.

I've been waiting. Because I didn't think I'd be able to hear it now or ever.

“I dream of another world. ”

“Another world? ”

“I don't know if it's a dream, if it's a reality, But if you look closely, it is the same as the future of the Earth. On the brink of extinction, a world full of monsters and a world where you are a hero. ”

“That's interesting. ”

“I feel like I've had a long dream. And that dream is still bothering me. I was a villain. I raised monsters to kill people. On the contrary, you were a hero of humanity. You were always fighting when I saw you. After that, the world came to an end. There was not one human left. ”

· · · · · · You're saying it a little differently, right?

I decided to continue listening.

“You ended up dead. When you died, humanity immediately failed. You fight each other for what's left, and you are overwhelmed by the many monsters of the Abyss in an instant. Then the sky opened and a huge lump of light fell and destroyed everything. When the monsters were no longer on the ground, he appeared. ”

“Him?”

“I don't know. Who he is, what he is. The only one left sucked up all the magic on Earth and turned it into a planet of death. Then he told me. You did this to me. ”

If he is, he's talking about Nidhog or Hresbelg. I put more weight on the latter.

But I don't feel a lie in the colonial words now.

What is it? Why does he know what happened after he came back?

Maybe the colonists are really considering the past as a dream. Like a 100-year dream that Uriel Diablo wanted to make a future choice.

“Did you destroy Earth because of me? ”

“I'm not sure if what you're saying to me is true. But it's clear that I spoke to someone who has my" point of view. "Since then, the world has changed and always awakens from dreams. ”

I lost my words for a moment.

There seemed to be no lies.

He really sees past things as "dreams."

It was just that it was so precise and realistic that I really believed in my dream.

Is it a side effect of coming back with me? ’

Strange though, I don't remember the next time I die. Of course. People die and it's over. It's weird to have memories of the future, like the colonel said.

But he remembered it. Of course, there is no guarantee that the memory is correct. But it's pretty convincing.

He was staring at my death and the final war by the Demon Lords and the summoning of the living.

“So I've been trying my best not to be that future. However, · · · · · · · · is lacking. I can't do this alone. I didn't become a vessel for heroes. ”

“You're a hero enough as I see you. ”

Tried to be a hero, became a hero.

A hero is a big thing.If you know how to work hard to give up your greed for someone else, that's who you are.

Dedication. Maybe it's the only virtue a hero needs.

“And thank you. Must have been hard to talk about. ”

“· · · · · · · Do you believe? ”

“There's no reason not to. I'm doing this, aren't I? ”

The colonist smiles bloody.

“Well, you wouldn't believe me if I told anyone that I had run into Damon Lord in the Maw. ”

“The expression is outrageous. Well, if you can't do it alone, why don't you two do it alone? ”

He uncovered one of the biggest parts of the bag.

I thought about it, but the context did not change a bit.

In that case, in the sense of intimacy, it would be easier to create a win-win structure for each other.

“Together, you mean? ”

“I'm in the abyss, you're on Earth. There must be something we can do for each other. ”

“Such as?”

“The abyss is exactly where people live. I think we can boost Uriel Diablo's power once the auction is over. ”

“Can he be trusted? ”

“I believe. ”

“Fine. I'll believe you. ”

That would have been a really, really big decision.

Uriel Diablo is a wicked peasant who turned Korea into a wasteland.

But seeing that I believe in Uriel Diablo, I decided to believe him, too.

“Is there anything I can do to help? ”

Colonial said.

“Of course.”

I nod forcefully.

We got a little closer. You have to say you took a big step. If we solve small problems and build more trust with each other, maybe the day will come when I can tell you everything about myself.

And I'll be able to hear all his secrets.

‘I have something to hide. ’

And that concealment, like myself, was a kind of story that I didn't think I could handle, or that I still felt premature.

Time is the cure after all.

An open field of trust cannot be closed at once.

Instead, we decided to do something a little more healthy.

“Rodsey, is this...? ”

“Laira, I told you to take a break. ”

Transferred to Uriel Diablo's body, where he worked.

A huge wagon is arriving on the inside.

And the wagon was filled with Earth's supplies.

“Lord Lord is well, and I cannot rest. ”

I heard her stubbornness. There was no difference on the outside, but she had a new life. She knew that, too.

I was embarrassed at first, but after realizing it, there was a slight change in the way I looked at myself. It is still an improvement of the elders, though not a gentle one.

Jormungan said, 'I will bring good nutrition to my child. "Fake," he said. And I was in the middle of a conspiracy in this castle.

“That's not the point right now. Roddy, what are those things? ”

I replied with a small smile.

“Things that are not in the abyss. But it's a necessity for the Maw. ”

The backbone of plans to reduce the points of other daemon loads, as long as you want to prepare for the final auction!

It was just the beginning.
