Chapter 23. Fusion

But no one immediately accepted it. At least it didn't look as good as the 'freedom’ of buying and selling people who were relatively weak.

There is not only freedom in the world that deserves respect. There was certainly also freedom that required repression.

“You don't have to hesitate. Hurry up and accept the invitation! ”

Ricky glances at Judas with a tone of excitement, breaking through the invitation in his hand.

Two years after my father passed away, the invitation of Sichup, who was searching so hard, is in front of me.

"Finally, finally, I can meet Shiseop! ’

I felt like I was holding the lamp to fulfill the wish that came out of the legend.

I beat like my heart was about to explode. Ricky was intoxicated by expectations and didn't even realize what he was looking like. Judas, who looked at Ricky with a deep sunken eye, folded it in half as it was without opening the invitation.

“What, what are you doing? You said you were going to challenge Siobhan? ”

Judas said in a calm tone as Ricky distorted his gaze.

“Let me check your opinion one more time here. ”

“OK? Why do you need anything else? Right now..... ”

“Ricky.”

I didn't raise my voice or stiffen my face, but I shrunk my shoulders even though I was called by name once. It felt like I was angry with my father after having an accident when I was a kid.

Judas quietly asked what the child thought.

“If, as he said, your spirit Jay really wanted the virus. ”

The excitement of being able to meet Sichup immediately led to a chill that seemed to flip over the cold water on his overheated head.

“Do you intend to hand over the virus to Sichuan instead of getting what you want? ”

“That... thing. ”

Ricky hesitated for a moment. hesitation was not very long.

“No, I can't give it to you. ”

He wraps Jay around the machine on the back of his hand in the opposite hand to save his stored magic.

“Not because it's a virus. Jay is my only family now. How can you not tell me that it's sweet? ”

“Even if it's a condition for eternal life? ”

“Of course, all of them. ”

My voice trembled a little, but it was as resolute as the answer. Sage, who saw it, narrowed her glabella slightly because she didn't understand it.

‘What is it? It seemed so desperate. ’

However, if you say that it is the price of earnest hope, you can't kick it without worrying like that.

Sage was convinced that Ricky was lying or hiding something. Then I looked at Henry who was watching this conversation quietly.

"This is Staff. What are you talking about, Virnie? ’

In fact, I thought I'd be a little confused or surprised to hear the two conversations, but I didn't see it at all. Rather, I was waiting for the conversation to end with interesting eyes.

It was a sequential society, not a monarchy, that had no idea whether it was not particularly interested in the work of others, or whether it had already received something from Sichuan.

As Sage stared suspiciously, Henry looked at him as well. Then I snuck up my tail.

Fresh.

It was a meaningful smile. Sage shunned a wink as the opponent suddenly smiled. I thought I'd learned a lot by following my brother around the world, but I was still weak in this situation.

Judas, who played like that against the hillbillies and eventually defeated them, looked great.

“Staff Henry. ”

“Have you decided?”

“I'll respond to the invitation. ”

“Ow!”

Henry exaggerated his surprise gesture.

“That's a quick decision! Don't you need more time to check it out? ”

“Anyway, I wanted to meet Shiseop, so I'm ready. ”

“Aha. Then you can open the invitation I gave you. You will be able to enter Ragnarok automatically. ”

With a twinkling smile from Henry, Judas slowly extended an invitation that was folded in half.

A layer of thick white paper appeared along the fold line.

And finally, a paper stamped with the seal of Midgard revealed an intense magical wave inside.

Faaah!

A dazzling white light swallowed them up, as when they entered the box. Judas raised his arm and covered his eyes, slowly returning to the position when the light was fading.

Like Stab said, a niche automatically changed places.

“…… the other children. ”

“Haha, are you surprised? There are countless rooms in Ragnarok. Challenger's group is in the other room. ”

Right now, in Judas' eyes, it was only Staff Henry. The place where they stood was a strange place that was not like the real world.

A chilly breeze passes through his hair.

‘It's like a temple. ’

White stone columns and long marble evoke the godly temple.

There was a blue sunset in the background with a green sky peeking between the pierced columns. The wheat field overlooking was shaken with a silver wave of salamanders. A dreamlike landscape.

“Why did you have to share us in another room? ”

“Well, well. To be undisturbed, is it? Haha. You're the only challenger in Sichup, aren't you? The rest are just followers of you, or young friends who have other business. ”

“ ……. ”

The young fellow has a different purpose than the challenger, so it's efficient to see him separately. Henry roars ahead of the marble path.

“By the way.”

“ ……? ”

“You have a very different attitude than you heard. ”

“Is that so?”

“According to information, Sichup's challenger is a strong, arrogant and terribly high-pressure image. ”

“Images are just images. ”

Judas admitted that the attitude he saw in Midgard was just a fabricated image. Staff, who was already aware of it, smiled and looked back at him.

“Is that so, too? But why don't you stick to the image to the end? I'm just a staff under Sichuan, aren't I supposed to break it? ”

“I'm not here to fight. Also.”

Staff, who had gone ahead listening to Judas' stubborn answer, had a slightly stubborn look.

“I just did it because I thought you wanted to be called Stab. ”

“Ah. So what the challenger is saying right now is, ”

Henry, looking back, heads straight back. I could see his buttocks popping out in the back of his hot water. He scratches his head as if he were distressed.

“You fitted me a shin...? ”

It was a cool voice, unlike until now. Judas, however, explained the reason for this without hesitation.

“I had no idea you weren't involved in politics. ”

“Phuch.”

Henry smiles out in the wind. Then I stopped.

They also reached the heart of the White Temple. A few birds with yellow feathers flew in green sky without a ceiling.

“Oh, my God. I think I've underestimated the challenger. Did you eat one of these? ”

Henry turns to Judas with his glasses properly fixed and bows his head.

“I'll formally introduce you again. ”

“ ……. ”

“Sichup of Midgard. This is Odin Henry. Nice to meet you, Challenger...... No. ”

When Henry gathers his fingers and makes a sound, Judas's face is covered with a semi-surfaced laryngoscope.

The silvery hair that flows over his bare face in the wind falls out in front of his eyes.

This is the heart of Midgard, home to Ragnarok and Sichup. In front of Sichup, who threw off his mask, he was forced to reveal his true appearance.

“His Royal Highness the Prince of Lubarzan. ”

Odin Henry, who had finally been able to face Judas' gold eye, laughed with excitement.

“…… or Daejeon Greg. Which one are you comfortable with? ”

* * *

Meanwhile, everyone but Judas was in one place.

The moment Judas opened the invitation, the place suddenly changed, and he disappeared without a trace, so the group was shocked.

They were in chaos for a while without grasping the ribs of what to do.

“Let's scatter and move! ”

Baikal claimed to be scattered to find the lord.

“Dismiss. What do you think the opponent is? If I scatter now, it's over. ”

Edan determined that Suu Kyi's claim should be dismissed and brought together.

“Jay, do you know where this is? ”

"Location information cannot be downloaded. You do not have permission to download.

“So you don't even know what's nearby? ”

Path cannot be navigated. You do not have permission to navigate.

“Ah, his authority, his authority! He keeps losing his authority! ”

Ricky was wrestling with Jay. And Cristina grabs her fist as she lowers her gaze to the ground.

Sage, who looked at her fist anxiously and trembled to sleep, spoke cautiously.

“You'll be fine. You're worried about us. ”

“…… how can you be sure of that? ”

“Well…… Well, I just believe it rather than being sure. Because you're my brother.”

After glimpsing simple but strong trust in Sage's eyes, Cristina bites her lips.

‘I don't believe him, either. Of course I do. But.’

She once believed Judas as as blindly as Sage did. If he's okay, he can't be wrong, because he's always made the right choice. It was such a simple trust.

However, the later the year after giving the sword during the Lubach Academy, the more I knew about it, the more I changed my belief slightly.

‘He's a man, too. You can get hurt, and you can get sick if you get hurt. ’

Cristina was even more desperate to realize that every time she played a perfect role in this trip.

“…… I don't like it. ”

“Yes?”

Her face, which had always been as cold as an iron wall, felt like a nineteen girl. Cristina shakes her head.

“No, I don't like that now. ”

“Cristina."

“I don't want to see him pretend to be okay. ”

Sage smiles quietly as she stares at the staring stare of a sea breeze like a wave.

Cristina stares at him, ignorantly, as the golden eye of a child who thought he was just a child shines the soft light that his brother used to build.

“Neither do I. I don't mean to be worrying powerlessly anymore. ”

The eyes of those who were in turmoil turned to the Three Kings in unison. The boy firmly suggested looking around them.

“So let's all go find him. ”

No one threw up there. Seeing the line collapse in an instant, Ricky mutters with Jay on the back of his hand.

“Heh. Is he being trusted by them? That's amazing."

It was Sage who calmed down the confusion, but even in the eyes of young Ricky, he seemed to know who they were counting on.

Did you have a good day? Heh.

I took a moody nap and then a feature thriller fantasy (?) I woke up suffering and dreaming of the same thing.. Ugh! Ugh!

I still can't forget that dream. Sometimes I have these vivid, memorable dreams. Is this a sign that I want to use as a material? @_@ Cooluck.

Then we hope you have a great week this week!

Thank you always. Heh.
