Hunter of the Perished World

Whoo-hoo!

Gene was flying in the sky.

To be precise, he was suspended in the sky. Hanging by the hand with someone's right ankle, Lancelot also holds the left ankle.

It was Galahad who was flying the sky flapping its black feathers. It was the middle of the night, and when I saw them on the ground, they would be invisible to even the point. Galahad was flying through the sky with a giant black wing on his back, wrapped in a dark robe.

Both Vagabond's abilities are unique, and Lancelot and Gallahead, among them, have even more unparalleled powers.

In a way, it was more bizarre and exotic than the devil.

“That should do it. ”

Gene and Lancelot are not frightened even though their hands are about to drop freely to the ground. Gene looked up at Galahad and said,

“Come down in exactly ten minutes. ”

“Got it.”

“Let's go.”

Gene lays a hand on that horse, and so does Lancelot. As the camp falls, it grabs Lancelot's neck, and the darkness shifts from Lancelot's body.

“Why don't you take it easy? ”

At Lancelot's words, Gene mutters as if to say something.

“What do you care about my slaves? ”

“That's the story after you enslaved me. ”

“Still obsessed with useless things. ”

The camp plunges into darkness, pointing to the ground.

“We're going to kill Commander Wargrave. Focus."

Below it lies Wargrave Garrison in a vast area. There were a number of towers, horseshoes, chariots and armored cars, and spies everywhere were watching both heaven and earth.

“I don't think you're paying attention the most. ”

Gene grins at Lancelot's jokes.

Nothing found the gin and Lancelot melting in the darkness.

I've already finished my observations of the Commander's Barracks. The Wargrave Commander's barracks are built by digging deep underground bunkers. And there's already a fortress around that bunker.

“I had to. ”

However, according to Lancelot, Gene is not so focused.

I've hunted witches in a castle dozens of times bigger, and a sea of monsters ten times larger.

In addition, the power of the completed Dark Bone always leaves the body of the gin in its best condition.

So I have no choice but to be nervous.

It's just awkward.

Every time I become aware of my condition, the expression on Ash's face that died in front of me passes through my mind.

I said I wouldn't forget.

Gene did not forget it, but every time he used the Dark Bone as if his soul had been gnawed away, he reminded me of the last image of the ash file.

There are many things that can never be forgotten.

Specifically, the death of Ashfile will come to the end of Gene's life.

Last job for the group.

Now, when I'm done with this, I'm going to find Leona.

Shhhhh!

Gene and Lancelot have fallen into the fortress at an incredible rate, and Gene has directed them just before they reach them.

“Raise the veil. ”

Shhh!

The darkness that spread from Lancelot's body swiftly engulfs the entire keep, while the body of the camp collides with it.

Kukwakwakwakwakwabang!

Gene's body, wrapped up in Dark Bone energy, destroys the keep and descends.

However, no sound echoes outside the darkened keep.

Quadruck! Quadruck! Oh, my God!

And the darkness that covered the keep now began to engulf the soldiers inside.

Gene moves slowly in the dark, uninterrupted.

There's no need to rush.

The target can't get away anyway.

There was a fishbowl to call it an assassination.

The Darkness moved alive, swallowing up the executives, officers and soldiers, and the camp was able to get down to the bunker with little or no disturbance.

Numerous cyborg fighters and Gigaframe in the bunker have been crushed into the hands of the assassin who showed up.

It doesn't matter if you put it in your body or you put a star on your shoulder.

It was crushed miserably by only one intruder.

It was more of a massacre than an assassination.

And Gene was able to face the target of a stiff expression in the deepest part of the bunker. It didn't take long.

“Ivan de Calz. Is that correct?"

He is Wargrave's favorite, that is, his enemy.

As wide as the world he rules, as he has experienced, directly or indirectly.

I knew there was so much going on in the world that I didn't understand.

That's why he was embarrassed, but quite boldly accepted his death.

“Yes, I am Ivan de Calz. ”

Gene considers the time and nods slowly. He sat in front of the corridor behind him.

“Let me talk to you for a second. ”

“There doesn't seem to be a reason. ”

“What's Calz up to? ”

“ ……. ”

Ivan's eyebrows twitched in vain.

Who knows the existence of Carltz, and even the secret fact that it is alive.

Ivan was able to see who was right in front of him.

“You're a demon-hunter.”

“Yes."

“Hunting humans since there were no demons? ”

Jean shakes her head at Ivan's words.

“It didn't make a difference in the days of the Devil. ”

It was a time when demon-hunters were no different from demons.

Ivan doesn't think he can survive. That's why he wasn't even bored with fear.

Gin asks again.

“What's Calz up to? ”

“That's a tough question. ”

“If you try to force your answer, there's nothing you can't do. ”

Ivan grins as Gin gives off a threatening blow.

“I don't know. It's a difficult question. ”

“You don't know?”

“Yes, I don't know. ”

It's a difficult question because I can't answer what I don't know, Ivan added. Only Charlotte knew what Carltz was up to, and Ivan had no idea that Charlotte knew about it.

After all, this war was also caused by Karltz's bystanders, so the most I was curious about was Ivan, not Gene.

"But you can only guess."

But Ivan also thought about what Carls would be doing in his own way.

And the consequences of that, I can only surmise.

"All of this, in fact, is meaningless."

"What does that mean?"

"Literally."

No war, no turmoil, no assassination, no violence, no effort.

It would all be pointless, Ivan said. That's why he may not fear death.

He, Wargrave's enemy, is amazed at how he feels now. I have never been honest with anyone in my entire life, except Charlotte, who was his successor.

To be honest with an assassin who came here to kill himself. He bursts into laughter.

“Then, where is Calz? ”

“Haha…. You're mistaken, demon hunter. ”

Ivan smiles softly. It was a smile without crisis or fear, too much to build in front of death.

"Predictions can be made, but I don't intend to tell the truth."

“That's too bad. ”

Gene approaches Ivan.

I had a little time to talk, but it wasn't a good time to talk all night. As Gene approaches, Ivan mutters.

"Another demon-hunter dreaming..."

In the face of death. He mutters like a will.

"Your dreams, they always consume the dreams of others."

Demon hunters dream, and they've always sacrificed others. Gene nods boldly at Ivan's words.

"Thanks for the advice."

"And how many people must be sacrificed in the dreams of monsters."

The will closed its eyes as if that were enough.

"Kill. Whatever your frostbite ends with, I have no intention of seeing it."

So effortless, so fast.

Puck!

Wargrave's enemies are dead.

Gene looks over the corpse of Ivan de Calz, who lost his head. When I heard from Ramfil, Francis, commander of the Central Asian Army, used a drone. But Ivan de Calz is not a drone. It was clear to me that it was a landslide.

Ivan de Calz is actually dead. So much so that everyone came directly to the front risking their lives, he was a man who valued honor.

Even in the face of death, it is an honorable death.

In the end, I couldn't say it was intense. Gene ponders Ivan's words. Dream, he was exploited all his life by a demon-hunter's dream, and eventually died because of another demon-hunter's dream.

"Dream..."

It is a dream to just live, to hold things and to just live. I don't want to save the world, I don't want to restore it, and I don't want to make atonement.

Just living is Gene's dream for the last time. There's no such thing as a grand gesture anywhere.

A humble dream.

But no matter what dream I have, the Demon Hunter has to put someone else's fate in my dreams.

Jin realizes that the shackles of destiny that had been following him so desperately have ensnared him even now, wanting to give up everything else and be content with small things.

If the world to live in is heading for some end, what does the simple dream of just living mean?

It's as funny as it sounds to say that we can prevent destruction.

"I'm sick of this."

Gene mumbles as if by himself, and goes back to the Tritanopia.

The situation outside the Keep, where the Commander's bunker is, is truly a crucible of chaos and horror.

“Get in! Get in! ”

“Something's attacking the soldiers! One of the Special Forces has already been destroyed! ”

“The enemy is in there! ”

Surrounded by living darkness, the fortress smashes and crushes everything that enters it. No one had ever found a way to respond to a form of enemy that no one had ever seen.

The chaos wasn't that long. It was because about a dozen minutes later, the fog was suddenly drawn into a single spot and all was gone.

Everyone sees. The man in the black coat and the man in the black robe climb to the top of the collapsed keep.

“Shoot! Shoot! ”

Flash, flash, flash!

The laser rifle flashes, but it's blocked by the fog emanating from the man in the black robe.

And then...

Idiot!

Something fell from the sky at a fierce speed. It flies away with two intruders without noticing.

“We're getting away!”

“The enemy comes first! Go in and check it out!”

Suddenly, the troops start to move swiftly, and everyone is staring at the black wings, disappearing into a speck of sky.

After flying for a long time, Gene descends to the ground in an invisible place.

“The gunship didn't catch up. Successful assassination.”

It was such an abrupt situation that it would not have been enough to reveal the hidden gunship. It was a good thing we didn't have to fight in the air if we did.

“We didn't call this an assassination in the first place. ”

Galahad tucks his wings inside his body and mutters as if it were absurd.

It's better to call this an ambush than an assassination. Galahad and Lancelot also did not doubt their power, but it did not make sense now that they could kill the fearsome Wargrave's enemies and come back to life unscathed.

“A little later would have been a big inconvenience. ”

Even if Lancelot's Veil can attack and defend itself at the same time, it can be damaged by a photon sword. If we had a little more time, Wargrave would have started a full-scale attack and would not have been able to escape.

It was also a waste of progress.

I wish I had enough time to interrogate Ivan, but I couldn't afford that kind of time in the enemy camp. Everything is now out of Gene's hands. The group that had already made contact with the Central Asian Army would have formed an alliance, and after the death of the enemy, the war was entirely in the hands of the Sorceress and the Central Asian Army.

Perhaps in exchange for the head of Ivan de Calz, the Alliance will decide the death of Ivan, and the Central Asian army will not hesitate to join hands with the group.

It would be foolish not to use enough power as an ally to kill Marshal Wargrave in the midst of the enemy.

Gene there didn't just kill the enemy, he killed all the men in the command. Only those who are fortunate will survive, and for a while the Wargrave Command must be busy trying to clear up the chaos.

You've done everything you need to do under the group. Since the Sorceress also said that once the goal was achieved, there was no need to come back, Gene was practically a free body now.

‘The city of the tower. ’

Sorran said Leona would be there. When I went to Sorran, I told him nothing would happen for the next year and a half, and now I don't know what will happen to Leona.

As soon as possible, the goal was to get to Burj Halifa. There's no need to cling to the group anymore.

Gene looks at Lancelot and Galahad. For a long time, like it or not, I helped Jean with her work. For nothing.

They didn't use it as a slave to blood, and Gene didn't want to, so they helped him out when he didn't have to.

If we go together, it will definitely be a lot of strength.

“You two go back to the group. ”

But Gene decided not to take them.

“ ……. ”

In Gene's words, Galahad and Lancelot were silent.

“Go and stay with Asura. ”

“I didn't know you had such affection for Asura. ”

Jean grins at Lancelot's words.

“Groups are important variables, and the leader of those variables is Azuda. ”

There is no denying that Azura is a powerful individual.

“But compared to Wargrave, it's nonsense. ”

There's no reason for Wargrave not to make that choice, just as Gene came to the command and killed the enemy.

“If we send Gigaframe-grade Special Forces to hundreds of people right now, Azura can't handle it. ”

Wargrave's true fears are not in the hands of armored men or air force. The powerful personalization force represented by the enforcer, whoever it was, was bound to collapse in front of it.

Even the Assault Force could not handle such a level of gunships and raiding the headquarters.

Above all, Wargravewan, unlike the group, the leader was very important. If the Commander dies, Wargrave will be in chaos, but we will need to choose a new Commander.

But the group will be devastated when the king dies. The corpses dominated by commandery will begin to erupt, and the group will have no choice but to enter or collapse once they become accustomed to commandeering.

Therefore, the Sorceress was a person who absolutely should not have died to maintain the group.

Gene has worked for the group for a year and a half. Even to establish his position as the Great Horseman, Sorceress was a man who should not have died.

“I'm not your master, but you can ask for this much. ”

Gene said, looking at the two silent ones.

“Go. Go and protect the king. ”

Gene wasn't just saying these things to them because of his judgment.

Lancelot and Galahad.

They want someone to control their power. That's why I followed Gene, who had surrendered himself even though he did not have a major relationship.

They want someone to control their power, and they want someone to use it at the same time.

Gene could have done the former, but the latter didn't care much. Now that you've completed the Darkbone, you may have two nightmares, but you don't have to.

And they knew they were quite satisfied with their lives in the group.

If anyone wants to rule, they're the ones who want to obey.

Therefore, the place for the two was not next to the camp, but next to the king.

I don't know if they knew their own disposition, but Gene saw it that way.

And Gallahead flaps his wings, proving Gin's right.

“I look forward to seeing you again. ”

Galahad begins to flap, and Lancelot grabs Galahad by the ankle.

“... I don't think we're going to face anything good. ”

If we meet again someday, it won't be a good thing. Jindo agreed with that.

Reunion in this world in the first place couldn't have been a good thing.

Gene was on his way to find Leona, and there was no need for two boats. They knew they could find their role by the king's side rather than by Gin's side.

Flutter!

Galahad rises to the sky, and Gene turns away without looking at them as they leave.

Wargrave's pursuers may be on their way. We need to move quickly.
