Colossus Hunter

Father, the word I've always wanted to call. But you didn't even get a chance to put it in your mouth. Gram said it, but he didn't believe it himself.

It just popped out like instinct, without going through your brain, just scratching your neck.

I wonder why he called him his father.

I just looked behind me. No one tried to tell me what he looked like. I just heard his story, so Gram always imagined it.

- What about my dad?

Elise spoke. Elise was troubled. At that time, Gram was unable to answer. The only question that Gram couldn't answer immediately.

- · · · · · · · He's always watching us.

I was choked, but I had to answer.

For Elise, for herself.

We're not finished. No one taught us how to move on. I just had to imagine and say, "I will."

Do you think Elise will see you when she's sick?

- You will.

- Even when Ellis cries?

- Yeah, so don't cry too much.

- Yeah, I'll hold. If you're good, you'll come to see Elise, right?

My father is dead. They all are. But I didn't tell Elise about it. She was so heartbroken.

- Yeah, sure, if you're nice.

I knew he wouldn't come. I knew you couldn't come. There's no coming back from the dead.

But Gram lied to Elise.

I thought it was best.

In fact, I thought · · · · · · · · · Gram too, I hope so.

- Then Elise will plant the flowers. You'll see him when he gets back! I'll plant beautiful flowers like Ellis.

It was said that the world before they were born was overflowing with flowers and greens. But there were no such things on Earth today. Countless nuclei have exploded, plagues of death have invaded, and roads have trampled all such ‘lives’.

Nevertheless, Elise planted flowers. Flowers grew, and I made them necklaces and wore them around my neck all the time. So I can give it to my dad anytime.

Elise was smiling when she planted the flowers and made the necklace herself. I've hardly seen Elise smile. It's because her weak body requires more than 20 hours of sleep per day and sometimes makes her scream with seizures.

I couldn't tell her the truth.

He's not coming back. Bury it in your mind.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The man looks back.

My eyes met.

At the same time, your feet feel relaxed.

Soon as he tries to collapse, the man reaches for Gram's back.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The man did not speak. I didn't seem to be able to speak.

But that look of kindness was boundless. Not the way humans look at themselves, but the way monsters look at themselves, but the kind and cozy eyes.

“Elise. ”

Gram reaches out his finger. It was Elise who was worse than herself. He had to live.

But Gram could not connect the words.

Elise is stuck in the rubble.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The man puts his palm on Gram's forehead. Immediately, a bright light flashed up and enveloped Gram's entire body. It was a beautiful light that was dazzling.

All wounds of the body are washed away and the parchment rises. The magical power of the heart fluttered faster than ever before, and the power of 'Immortal’ began to recover.

Get rid of all the deaths for the first time. The number of times a gram is regenerated once a day. Every time I did that, I was so distressed that my mind flew away, and it didn't hurt at all even though it was filled at once.

The man takes his hand off Gram's back and slowly walks to Elise.

Uahhhhhh!

At that time, a sword was inserted into the man's back.

“Ahh · · · · · · · ·! ”

Before Gram even tried.

This speed, this magic.

“You almost got me. ”

The Black Knight reappears.

With his face cut off in his left hand.

But the man did not look back. I approached Elise and slowly hugged her. In the process, the nail that pierced Elise sweeps through her flesh, but Elise remains motionless.

Boom!

The man's new stature was shaken briefly.

The Black Knight used dark magic.

But the man glances down at Elise without hesitation.

Then his hand touched Elise's forehead, and a bright light flowed out like him.

“I don't know who you are or where you came from, but I won't get hit twice." ”

“Stop!”

Gram extends his hair.

You run desperately to stop the Black Knight.

The Black Knight must not touch the man. I instinctively declared danger. We shouldn't let him get in the way.

Qajik!

I threw myself.

The difference between the Black Knight and Gram was remarkable. Gram feels that the Black Knight is a match for Lord. The strongest knight and the strongest dynasty.

It was a weapon of Arnelow's spleen.

All Gram can do is stall.

Throw yourself to death, like a villain.

His intestines twisted, his bones snapped, and his head exploded. Nevertheless, Gram does not place the Black Knight.

“Persistent · · · · · · · ·! ”

The Black Knight knew this was an opportunity. If you don't kill him now, you're gonna get yourself killed.

‘Please save Elise. ’

It was because of him that Gram was able to endure all the pain. Gram had to be strong to protect his brother.

But the present self is too powerless.

Powerless, but still. I heard that if you step on a worm, it will squirm.

How much is this place?

“Nothing has changed! This place exists only for Arnelow's victory! ”

Gaaaah!

Your arm is severed. You hug the Black Knight with your leg.

Puck!

My neck flew away.

You still haven't let go of the Black Knight.

Shhh!

His whole body was slaughtered. But, still, Gram survived.

“Persistent one · · · · · · · ·! ”

The Black Knight has his tongue out. The honor of a knight. Normally, he would praise this tenacity, but the Black Man was feeling it.

His death is coming.

You shouldn't have hit him first.

The black man moves desperately.

Five steps.

Your footsteps.

Three steps.

Two footprints.

And...

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The man lifts his head and looks at him.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Moment.

It was the same moment.

The Black Knight looks into the man's eyes and stops.

“Ahn · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Fouszec!

The Black Knight's head begins to melt.

With all the land around us, all the monsters couldn't resist.

But Gram didn't feel the heat. Gram and Elise are the only places with cozy air surrounding them.

“Hahaha! Power! I'm full of energy!! ”

Arnelow, the Vampire King, is still on the run. I didn't know that such a powerful force would diminish. The waves of magical power falling from its giant wings whirl and hit the ground.

I erased everything on the ground as soon as I touched it. I did not stop my allies and enemies. It's coming this way right now.

Wriggle!

At that moment, Elise's body shifts slightly.

Gram's eyes widen as he saw it.

Elise was alive, then.

“Take Elise and run! ”

No man can take that. That beacon had the power to remove even the power.

However, if he hurls immortality and stops it, some time will be delayed.

But the man didn't even flinch.

You approach Elise, hand her over to Gram, and look at them slowly.

“I · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The man said.

He was frowning a lot.

“Kick." ”

What does it mean to protect?

Then the man turns his head slowly, tucking his hand into his chest.

A huge spear of light protrudes out as the hand protrudes through the chest.

The man slowly, leans over and throws his spear, a spear made of light, at Arnelow.

The moment the great waves of Arnelow touch the spear of light.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Puahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Gram closes his eyes to the remnants of light. I couldn't open my eyes because of the light that spread like it would envelop the world.

And then I opened my eyes again.

‘Ah.'

The sky is clean.

Like a hole, all the clouds are lifted, and I don't even see Arnello as if he never existed from the beginning.

“Father? ”

But the weird thing is,

That "man" also hides his footsteps.

You look around, but there's nothing left.

“W-what happened? ”

“Is Arnelow gone?" ”

“Yi, did you win, then? ”

“The monsters are gone! ”

Far away people begin to approach where there are one or two grams.

They looked around as if they couldn't believe it.

Everything melts and disappears.

“I won!”

“We won! ”

“Aaaaahhhh!”

“Hooray!!! ”

The crowd grows feeble. Kneel and get drunk on victory. I raised my voice, sang a song, and shed tears.

Gram continues to look around.

However, I didn't see him anywhere.

Tuck.

One hand rests on Gram's shoulder.

I turned my head, and Kim Min-sik from Manchun was there.

“Maybe · · · · · · · that guy just · · · · · · ·. ”

Minsik Kim smiled slowly. Then you smile, so you can see your teeth. Gram had never seen him smile like this.

“Yes, the chilly castle. He's back. ”

* * * * *

It was dark.

Everything is invisible.

For a long time, I fought the Darkness.

I fought solitude.

I fought and fought again and again against the void.

- Aren't you tired?

- Give it up.

- Give us the power of the Great Star!

There was a tower on the 10th floor.

There were trapped gods on the tenth floor of the tower.

You see nothing, but you can't feel it, but you climb up with all your might.

"Why?"

It seemed empty in my head. I didn't feel anything, I didn't think anything.

Nothing but the idea of going up.

The gods continued to deceive me. I made them give up. I made them fight and fight and tire.

I was blocked.

I couldn't climb any further.

- Human limits.

- No matter how strong the humans are, they can't get their sacred blood right.

- You'll fall, too. Just like we did.

I started falling again.

Fifth floor to fourth floor.

Fourth floor to third floor.

Third floor to second floor.

From the second floor to the first floor.

From the first floor to the bottom.

They were strong. They were greedy creatures. Empty, I couldn't even beat them. There were so many ‘ups’ I had to bear.

The blacks. Their curse has consumed me. The regression of time has become a chain to me.

After that, I crouched.

I curled up quietly, closing my eyes.

How much time has passed.

Bang!

Someone knocks on the wall.

Bang, bang!

No rest.

Bang, bang! Bang!

It was noisy. Why are you so desperate?

You're the only one who can save us.

Finally, a spear came through the door and pierced my chest.

I look up and see a familiar face.

It's your name. I will not forgive you. But I forgive you. For my children. And for you.

Frightening?

Was that my name?

- The kids want to see you. She grew up strong and kind. It's been possible for a while. But it's hard now. Close your eyes and I'll remember. Even when I open my eyes, your shadow rises before me.

Why is this woman looking so sad?

Why are they crying?

But it hurt me to see those tears. A spear stabbed through the chest, hurting so much.

- Their names are Elise and Gram. Kids need a father. I can't take care of those kids by myself.

Come on, come on.

A woman hugged me.

Warm. Cozy.

When I opened my eyes again, the woman disappeared one day.

And I got back up from the chair.

I started climbing the tower.

‘Lyra.'

Lyra Diablo.

Gram. Elise.

Minsik Kim, Itakwa. Ignil.

Yoo Seo-hee. Syria · · · · · · · · ·.

· · · · · ·.

Horror Castle.

The memory came back.
