Hunter of the Perished World

Ramfil moves to a small office building not far from the Asgard Tower. The appearance was shabby, but the interior appeared fairly tidy and well-decorated. Ramfil knew exactly what this place meant.

The meaning of such a clean white wall.

It is portless, suggesting Wargrave territory. The small office door appeared to be an ordinary Brigade door, but it could never be opened without internal approval.

“Nice to meet you, Lieutenant. ”

Inside, there was a curiously bright figure who was sitting too plain. There's a guard next to him, and two men with Ramfil are standing next to him.

He was supposed to be invisible to Ramfil for life.

The four stars in the hierarchy were telling me exactly that.

He was never a worthy figure with only three bodyguards.

“This is Francis, commander of the Wargrave Central Asian Army. ”

In Ramfil's silence, he introduced himself first.

The four stars in the hierarchy were telling me exactly that.

He was never a worthy figure with only three bodyguards.

“This is Francis, commander of the Wargrave Central Asian Army. ”

In Ramfil's silence, he introduced himself first.

Even though the lieutenant, the commander, frozen and bowed, Ramfil was still watching him. The three bodyguards look furious, but no one steps forward before the Commander speaks.

That meant the Central Asian army was as vigorous as that.

Ramfil opens his mouth soon.

“I'm Lt. Ramfil, Wargrave Temporary Enforcer. ”

I didn't salute him enough. Francis was grabbing at the Ramfil like that.

It was arrogance and arrogance that did not fit the class, but that was not the point.

“From now on, you will be relieved of your duties as an executive officer and incorporated into the Central Command Special Operations Unit. ”

Francis takes the matter out immediately, and the three guards' faces harden.

Fortress' Special Operations Unit and Central Command's Special Operations Unit fundamentally differed from their handling, and they also served in the Central Command's Special Operations Unit.

No matter how good I was, it was never a battle worth taking on a guy from the Korean Peninsula.

“By the Commander's authority, you will be granted a position within the Royal Decree immediately. ”

Promising a position at the consulate to a lieutenant was also substantial. And it was clear that this level of privilege was given.

He wanted to give him a mature position as soon as possible and raise him as a key player in the Central Asian Army. And this privilege has never been granted to any fighter or commander before.

Despite the jealous and furious gaze, Ramfil remains silent. Francis patiently awaits Ramfil's reply.

And what came out of Ramfil's mouth was an unexpected answer.

“We want to continue our current mission. ”

Even though it was not to be refused as a soldier and an offer not to be refused as a human being, Ramfil expressed his intention to refuse on a dagger.

The three bodyguards look pale.

More surprising things happened next.

“Witch hunting? ”

Francis is not shaken or angry at all, but asking Ramfil.

I was trying to talk to a lieutenant who refused the commander's orders.

“Yes, it is. ”

“The mission has low priorities. Right now, you need to make a move to increase the power of our troops in order to overcome the threat we face. ”

There were no waves in Ramfil's silent eyes, just a stillness.

“I only know how to deal with enemies in front of me, and my ability to command my allies is significantly lacking. So for me, it's too much position and class. ”

Ramfil knows better than anyone that he's just a combatant. Leading and controlling something was difficult for Ramfil, and he didn't want to do it.

The meaning was hidden, not to make promises of excessive status to fighters who barely fought well, but not to be so humble.

Of course, we didn't know what Ramfil had to say with such ulterior intent.

Rather, the three bodyguards agreed with Ramfil. Francis was clearly, strangely special to Ramfil.

There can only be one. How brilliant a fighter must be.

But Francis thought he deserved a special treatment.

“Yes, the lieutenant is right. However, you should know that an enemy in front of you is worth nothing to a soldier who can 'do anything'. I don't mean to be arrogant, but there's no need to be too modest. ”

Ramfil said he was a "combatant who knows only how to deal with his enemies." But Ramfil reduced his own value. But Francis was the only one who could figure out the hidden meaning.

In fact, Ramfil did not fight the White Witch equally. I didn't know what would happen if I had the equipment and the weapons I needed.

Francis was serving as commander of the Central Asian Army.

As the commander of the military in the region, he soon became a man of life, valuing something. I knew enough about the true value of a combatant who was just ahead of me.

That's why we must not ignore the rudeness that the fighter commits.

“Remember, Lieutenant, you are a soldier. ”

So do as you're told. Following that command will hold many things in your hands that you could never have dreamed of. Ramfil is not stupid enough to not know the implications.

Ramfil is silent in his thoughts.

If it had been in the past, it would have been in his hands. To Ramfil, life was merely a continuation. Just to breathe, just to eat, just to live.

Ramfil was pleased with everything he was given in return for his obedience. But only that, there was no special greed or special desire.

That's why Ramfil, who lived as Wargrave Soldier, was a submissive machine.

Until I met the White Witch.

The undefeated invincible fighter has been defeated and met the demon-hunter.

Following orders to track the White Witch, I returned to the world.

Then I met the Demon Hunter again, and Leonard met a little girl.

The things that I thought were irrelevant became things that I needed to know, and in my senses and new teachings and experiences, I learned how to wonder about Lamfil.

From the moment he realized his curiosity, Ramfil was no longer an emotionless cyborg fighter.

Curious about something means interested in something, and what does it mean to be interested in it?

It means that Ramfil has value in the world he embraces.

Everything was equally worthless. But now Ramfil's heart gives something value and meaning.

Ramfil realizes here things he didn't even know he had.

Right now.

Who am I?

What I am.

What do I want?

You realize what you're feeling abstractly in the emotions you're feeling right now.

‘That…. ’

Ramfil realizes and accepts that some part of him has collapsed in the wave-like emotion.

Just as a huge rock falls on the turbulent sea level and the Tidal Wave shifts gradually, Ramfil realizes that a part of his mind has collapsed because of the Commander's appearance and the current situation. The expression "collapse" might not be right, but that's exactly how Ramfil felt right now.

As a matter of fact, Ramfil is not listening carefully to what Captain Francis has to say.

I couldn't listen carefully.

To be precise, Ramfil didn't want to be here.

I don't want to be here right now. I think so clearly.

"Leona."

I can't concentrate on anything because I'm worried about Leona. And as he recognized himself, Ramfil felt a kind of joy, like a dam bursting and collapsing. The anxiety you're feeling makes you realize how much you care about Leona.

“Like I said, I'm a soldier. ”

The words make Captain Francis frown. You will get a positive answer. I was looking forward to it.

“But before that, I was human. ”

Francis's expression stiffens.

Ramfil, who had Izzie but lost his feelings, became a person again.

Soldier. But Ramfil now recognizes himself as a person before he was a soldier.

Gin and Leona.

Ramfil was now highly valued by both of them.

It's a strange thing to say, but Ramfil now thinks they're both precious.

Then, who are the soldiers before you?

who built a giant experimental facility in the basement of New Hong Kong to kidnap people and use their lives to create demons.

They created the White Witch.

Maybe they're preparing for a big war now.

“That's why... ”

Looking at the four in front of the awkward atmosphere, Ramfil said boldly and decisively.

Ramfil gets closer to people, but still doesn't have any feelings.

“As a human being, I will not be joining the Wargrave Central Asian army. ”

It was fear.

Ramfil was still not afraid of anything, so even the Central Asian military commander in front of him was unafraid. Francis dares to exercise his right to objection to the order and no longer intends to be considerate of an executive who has absolutely no room to change his mind.

“Are you saying you want to leave the military? ”

“Wargrave isn't the only one here. ”

“I will engage Central Command. Can you interpret it that way? ”

“It means I'm not loyal to people. ”

Loyalty to the Wargrave, not to the Commander.

“I wanted to be ‘intact’ as much as I could. ”

Francis gleams at the depths of his eyes. He knew it was a matter of time before he had to question Ramfil's loyalty.

Thus, although this result was dissatisfying, it was not considered a failure.

“I think you need a little mental reconstruction." ”

“Mental modification...? ”

Let Ramfil stop at the appearance of words he can't understand. Francis smiled.

“Didn't you know? Cyborgs aren't just used to enhance a soldier's combat abilities. ”

“ ……. ”

“If you touch your brain, you can make it mine. It's not possible in any Portress, but this is a Central Asian military stronghold. ”

So you can manipulate the will of a cyborg. Francis swallows the hind words, but Ramfil is fully aware. It can be made into a combat machine that destroys Izzie and follows orders.

I was able to manipulate as much as I wanted to.

“Lieutenant, this is your final warning. I don't want you to be a doll, either. ”

If you go through such an irreversible process, you become a machine. It was a kind of punishment for a cyborg disease that did something close to treason, because it could never return to humanity again.

“If you don't want to be a machine, come with us. ”

Despite the threat, Ramfil said with a bold expression.

“Even if I stay human under the general, I'm sure I'll end up like a machine. ”

With Ramfil's unwavering will, he smiles bitterly. Then I raised my hand.

The instructions were simple, and clear at the same time.

“Cut off your arms and legs. ”

Pot!

Three bodyguards rushed to Ramfil as if they were waiting for the word alone.

Boom!

Ramfil dodges all of the attacks and slaps one face down hard with his right hand. In an instant, one of them literally crashes into the ground, creating a crack, and two particle guards retreat at a distance, one at a time, into an incompetent blow.

“Khh, khh... ”

The guard on the ground is trembling, trying to get up, but he can't even move his cognitive circuits properly. The part where Ramfil punched was the right ear, not the face, to be exact. Ramfil knew exactly what parts were there and how much impact it would take to break.

What Ramfil did was a frame procedure that was one step lower than what Megaframe, the guards, received.

Even if it was a low level, the actual combat ability was very different. Those who have received megaframe treatments hunt monsters inside the MCP, and those who have received gigaframe treatments digest the duties of the executive officer.

It is overwhelming from the difference in numbers.

However, Ramfil disqualifies anyone with superior combat abilities in a single unit.

Ramfil looks at Francis and says,

“I would have told you.”

Confident rather than confident.

“It's easy to deal with enemies in front of you. ”

So if you want to turn me into a puppet, bring an army, not a foe.

The other two bodyguards frowned at the disgrace.

Ramfil's mind was full of thoughts that he had to quickly clean up the situation and save Leona.
