[217] Loss is Eternal (4)

When confronted by Iznitas' cold corpse, Maria is unable to move like a stone. Choi Kang Jun was looking at Iznitas' pale body with a stiff expression.

Face the consequences of choice.

It is meaningless to judge now whether it was the wrong choice or the best choice. In the end, there is no turning back a choice, and as humans always face the consequences of a choice.

Kangjun asked Iznitas to protect everyone, and he also left for North to protect what was given.

The fact that Kang Jun didn't know what kind of fight was coming to Iznitas, or didn't predict the outcome, is all an excuse. Eventually, what was confronted was clearly in front of me.

Gangjun lived.

Iznitas is dead.

Neither Mary nor Kangjun shed a single tear, but saw the body of Iznitas in a glass tube in the deep sea fortress. Versailles explains the situation quietly.

“Iznitas fought and died against one of Jablin's first, second, and Trinity, Cynthia. ”

“What about the others? ”

“Winslow is the only one in Castle. Liam and I are on a British operation. I have to get back to you soon. It's not good. Monsters from the siege block the retreat and the garrison is under siege. ”

Union was still unable to give even his dead friend's funeral because it was a force that could not cover the entire country. Only Liam and Versailles helped resolve the situation in Korea for a moment. Gangjun looked at Iznitas. No matter how much I looked, I didn't open my eyes. Iznitas died as a friend of Gangjun. Gangjun was able to understand Versailles' words.

I gladly chose death to protect my support.

Maria looks at Gangjun and bites her lip. Kang Jun nodded his head, understanding the meaning of the gaze. Without speaking, they were able to talk. Maria shakes her hands and pulls something out of her chest.

“Iznitas…. Are you completely dead? Not even a little... The possibility of being alive.... ”

Versailles also knew what Maria had gone to get, so he knew what it was. It is the tears of the goddess.

Although it was originally taken to give to Gangjun, Gangjun also nodded that he could use it if he could revive Iznitas' breath.

“You can't save the dead. ”

“A little bit, a little bit. If I just hold my breath a little.... You can do that... Really, really... ”

Maria shudders with that little potion like a tremor patient.

“It's good to have a very weak heart. Then, you can do it. Anybody. He said anyone could be saved. I heard that even the smallest breath can save even the smallest breath... Really.... really.... ”

Tears pour out of Maria's eyes.

“Iznitas…. Is he dead?”

No one answered, but Iznitas' cold body falls into eternal sleep in a glass tube. I could not wake up again, not a single breath.

“Ugh... Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

Maria bursts into tears, unable to breathe. The tears of the goddess can heal all living things. This miraculous water, which can fully restore any breath, was able to completely restore anyone.

However,

There is no turning back the despair of death. As all men are equal before death, no mortal can return from it.

Maria knew that this Elixir of Power she had saved would eventually save her from the greatest despair. Maria just had to pour out tears helplessly, like so many people who had been defeated in reality.

“Just a little more…. I wish I'd come a little sooner.... I wish I'd come a little sooner.... (* Sobbing *) ”

If it had been before the portal closed, if it had been before Iznitas faced that fight, if it had been before Iznitas' breath was completely cut off,

Iznitas may become angry, irritated, funnelling, smiling and quarrelling as usual. And maybe we can blame each other for arguing with him, fighting, swearing, annoying as usual.

“It's not your fault. ”

Versailles calmly said so.

“No one's fault, no. ”

Versaya bites her lip to make sure she can't even look at Gangjun.

22 years after the beast appeared, they lived with death. I lived with the death of a monster, the death of a man, and the death of a colleague.

But death can never become accustomed to it. His death, his friend's death.

Kangjun was bloodshot with white purple, not a drop of tears shed. I couldn't spill it, to be exact.

Kang Jun couldn't even mourn Iznitas' death.

Iznitas died, and they had to accept the grief for their surviving sins. Death is always the part of the living, and Iznitas' death is completed by the living recognizing his death.

“Aaahhhh!”

No matter how much I cry, there's no turning back the clock.

Their friend, who has already left, remains in front of them with a cold corpse, and no answer can return as an echo.

Maria was also as aggressive and emotionally mild as Iznitas. But Maria and Iznitas had something in common.

I knew crying wouldn't solve anything.

“I'll do the funeral myself. ”

“As soon as the British side is settled, we will proceed. The swift act.... ”

“No, I'll do it alone. ”

Mary said that with a firm expression.

“Where is Winsorr? ”

“I'm working on it. ”

Maria doesn't listen to everything Versailles says, but heads to the workshop in Winslow. Kangjun stood in front of Iznitas' coffin, dumbfounded.

Winsorr was the only member of the city who did not leave Castle. His mission was more important than the world's work. That's why he didn't leave the workshop, rather he was more focused on his work.

“Maria.”

With the situation to celebrate his return, Winsorr stands still in Vessel. Wynsor also knew of Iznitas' death, so he was considering doing his job rather than grieving in this situation.

Wynsor, full of sadness and fatigue, avoided looking odd when he fell down immediately. Maria looked at the equipment in the middle of the workshop and said.

“RCF, we need to use it. ”

“…… nonsense. ”

The basic frame of RCF was completed but still required delicate adjustments.

“I don't know about the external output, but if you write it wrong, you're dead. Internal stabilization isn't done yet. You'll be crushed before you can even maneuver a Srank Knight. ”

- Flash!

Maria casts divine magic with one hand. In Mary's flesh, a subtle white light was young, and Windsor could see what it meant. It was a special power that could only be used by magic and nobles. That said, Maria not only agreed that she gained overwhelming protection by adding strength to her own body, but also defense.

Mary said with a firm expression, as if she wouldn't say it twice.

“I'll use RCF. ”

Winsorr sees Mary's calm anger, and knows that her power now is beyond measure.

Night and earache.

Maria was unique to the rest of the world.

And what would happen if such a unique existence were to board the most powerful fighting weapon known as RCF? Wynsor had no idea. Winsorr finds it impossible to stop Maria. If RCF is not given to her, she will go bare, and her naked body will be able to fight the enemy.

But it was Union's way of showing it clearly when destroying it, and overwhelmingly when showing it.

“Okay, but I need a little time. You should know how to use it. ”

Maria nods with a firm look.

Kangjun was sitting dazed in front of the glass tube with Iznitas' body, unable to connect the horses. Death was certain, and he could not live. Where did it go wrong?

Operation Overrank has failed due to American treachery. To be precise, Kang Jun made a choice to save Overrank in order to survive. Without Kangjun, the Overrank would have continued to move without question, and might not have survived the nuclear bombing. Even if he had survived, the war would have escalated further without end, and could have spread through the wars between Asia and North America.

Massive amounts of radioactive fallout could have spread across Asia, causing continental damage.

However, due to Kang Jun's disruption in Ryu Shua's mind, Kang Jun was unexpected, but his radiation was completely eradicated and the war was also flowing into an endless atmosphere.

Eventually, the situation is going well, even though it was not intended to predict the outcome. If Kang Jun hadn't gone north, the Korean Peninsula would have suffered a major crisis, and the fight against the United States, rather than UC, could have started, and the entire population could have been harmed in the long run.

However, Kang Jun had difficulty confirming his choice.

The body in front of him was showing too little of the result of Kang Jun's choice. The death of a friend, a friend, gave his life for a favor.

The cold corpse had nothing to say, and that silence was causing him pain. The mutant who always lived as a girl died as a girl.

‘Was it like this... ’

Kang Jun couldn't take his eyes off me.

‘Was it like this... ’

Kang Jun repeated only the same thought and said nothing. Versailles also stands beside Gangjun. Not now, but they were longer than when they were not together. Versaya opens her mouth.

“I'll never know why Iznitas was so stubborn after all. ”

Iznitas is a man. Iznitas was, to be precise, a zealot, and he established his identity as a man, but he had no hobby of having sex with anyone. He said it was just an individual's taste, and he was overwhelmed by it.

I don't want to be a woman. It was Iznitas who thought he was a man and acted like he was, and forgot who he really was.

A man, but not a man, Mutant did not tell his Union colleagues why he insisted on becoming that girl.

“…… I know. ”

“What?"

“That's when I heard about the Basilan incident. ”

However, Choi Jun knew why. Basilan, Indonesia, where Kangjun and Iznitas killed the entire island in one night alone. Among them were targets, but also civilians.

“At that time, Iznitas tried to leave Union. Originally.”

The first I heard, Versailles couldn't hide his embarrassment.

Kang Jun, who first infiltrated Basilan Island, shut down communications and power facilities first, set up a jammer and threw the island into complete darkness. And then the massacre began.

Even though the Resistance civilians cried for their lives, Choi Jun inevitably killed them. You sharpen the Ethel Blaster, slaughtered it with Ethel Sword, set it on fire, and erased its traces.

However, Iznitas went halfway through the massacre of countless civilians. With red blood all over his body, Iznitas yells at Kangjun.

I don't want to do this anymore! What are we! What are we supposed to do? Why do we have to do this while hitting a kid who hasn't even fed yet? Who gave us the right to do this? I don't want to do this anymore! I can't, I won't! ’

In the middle of the burning island after the massacre, Iznitas shredded his whole body screaming.
