Hunter of the Perished World

People's anger could not be easily silenced. Their repressed anger had to burst out, and they were cut off in the middle.

However, Leona's actions were precisely eaten, just as the nobles sought to silence their anger through the terror of overwhelming slaughter.

Dragon,

And the girl who sings the dragon.

In front of the two imperfections, people felt holy, but at the same time they felt fearful. People had to back off because they feared that the dragon's wrath might be directed at them if they refused or violated the dragon's command.

Leonardo eventually terrorized the people and pushed them back.

People left behind Shudha, and I dragged all the nobles who couldn't do this or that in the tower called Shudha. They also seemed to be terrified of dragons.

The slaves have been freed, and Rudre has simply stripped them of their disguise while trying to avoid Shuhada's hand in the cloak of slavery.

The people of the tower are appalled at the sight of Rudrey Windill leading the whole of Shudha. Her fingers twitch, but Rudrey doesn't blink.

The riots have calmed down, and a new order must be established in the city of the tower. The guards have been completely neutralized, and most have been hunted by dragons, humans, and hunters.

That's why Schhuddah was currently in charge of security throughout the city and was also in charge of the search for the Noble Party.

All usable buildings were pillaged or collapsed, so the need for an administrative bureaucracy worthy of the city became clear, and the Caravan Hall in Area 2 was scored.

The caravan hall, a gathering place for trade around the metropolitan area, was quite large, and the noisy caravans had evacuated outside the city, so Liaman, the owner of the caravan hall, was a member of Schhuddle.

Shudha wasn't always on the same side as those who couldn't.

Above all, there was a very large square in Caravan Hall, the perfect place for black dragons to be waiting.

You can ask her to wait outside the city, but Leona was about to use what appeared to be an unwanted symbol of the Black Dragon. That's why in the center square of the Caravan Hall, an unrivaled dragon was sleeping.

People looked at the dragon from afar, but no one came close.

All of Shudhan, who was hiding underground, is on the ground. People talked a lot about taking control of the new order, but it was a dangerous situation before the whole city would fall into chaos.

Rudrey has received numerous reports of the city's current situation.

I have also heard that seven masters have gone missing. Rudy couldn't bear the grief. What would happen to Shimach Windill? I didn't know anything. Perhaps he's already dead and can't find the body.

Lots of people are going to die, and Rudy is in a position to decide and enforce that death on his own. That's why there was no freedom to play hardball.

The meeting to establish a new order was now seated at Werinhill, Rudrey, and Leona.

Leona has become, like it or not, literally an enormous symbolic figure, so she had to sit here. Leona sits unconsciously, despite her injuries.

Gene and Ramfil believe that Leona can take care of herself, so they don't sit here as if Leona asked them to.

Ramfil goes to pick up his colleague, and Gene is waiting at the lodging in Caravan Hall.

The first words Rudrey uttered were completely different from the order of the New Age.

“We need to find Larsen. ”

Rudy is a man who knows the gravity of his work.

I was curious about my father's life, but I couldn't care less about his personal life. After deciding to live an insulted life, Rudy had to put his hypocrisy to rest.

“Raven is one of our enemies. He is definitely a person who should be executed in front of a crowd, so he is devoted to the search. ”

Raccoon was Raven, and that's why he committed the most crimes against the common people. People hated him more than Mystery, and it was true that he was the one who told him to snap his head the most.

We have to find and kill Raqen, who is called Shudhan. In order to have the authority to establish a new order with Shudha, I had to relieve their anger instead.

I couldn't get people's support without being a vengeful agent. Ratchet was an enemy of the vast majority of people and one of those who had to disappear.

But Rudy shakes his head.

“That's not it. ”

“If not... ”

“Raqen let me go. ”

The words made Wirin Hill's eyes open wide. Rudrey was still unable to clearly define Lachen.

I knew what I was doing, but I let him go, and I couldn't figure out why he let me go.

“It's true that there are bombs buried underground. I saw it on my way out of the tower. ”

But it hasn't been fired, and Rudrey and Leona have confirmed that all the wires for the bomb are cut. Werinhill was surprised at the fact that the bomb, which was supposed to simply be bluffing, actually existed, and he was surprised twice at the fact that it had already been disabled.

Leona adds.

“It must have been Rachael who rigged the bomb. ”

“Me too.... I think so.”

“Why on earth would he do such a thing? ”

Rachael was not an accomplice. He was a great Raven from a noble standpoint, so he was just as vicious an agent of rule to the common man.

In fact, what people were carrying around was either because the search for Shudha by Raven's orders was getting out of hand.

And both Wirin Hill and Rudrey's expressions were severely stiffened.

“No way... To deliberately induce people's movements...? ”

An elixir. A few days ago, I would have heard that you were crazy if you said that.

But Rachael's actions were full of things he could not understand.

Lajon disabled the bomb so that people wouldn't die. After all, the violent Shudha extraction was also meant to provoke people, which makes sense now.

It was hard to get the idea that the method was fundamentally wrong, but then Lajon was forced to call himself a savior in the city.

“I have to hear the answer from Raqen. ”

Lots of unsolved questions had to be solved that way.

We need to find Raccoon before the civilians do. Before Rachael falls into the hands of angry citizens.

I've thanked you so many times for saving Rudrey's life, and after giving her the proper public service,

We still had a lot to talk about, but Leona had to get back to the lodge first. The wound is intact, but Leona is sweating cold.

It was a situation that needed to be rested, but I was moving too hard.

After returning to the lodge, Leona is able to see Gene maintaining his weapon.

“Hey, mister. ”

Gene's impression of seeing Leona grimace is somewhat solidified.

“Come here.”

“Why?”

“I'll take care of the wound. ”

“Well, well... It's okay."

“... I know you want to insist that you're not a child anymore. It's even more like a child to hide the bruises... ”

“Okay, stop! ”

As Gene tried to start his speech, Leona frowned, took off her coat and top, and lay bare in bed. You get rid of the bandage, but the bandage is red.

Gene begins to unwind the bloody bandage, and Leona doesn't scream that she's a little frowny, but in pain.

Gene quietly examines Leona's wounds and wipes them clean with an alcoholic soil. The wound is not deep on the shoulder, clavicle, and clavicle, but the wound on the shoulder may have broken the bone.

Gene reapplied the disinfectant to the wound, wrapped around a bandage, and secured the splint so that his arms wouldn't move.

“Done. Don't try to force yourself until your wound heals." ”

Leona liked the pressure from the firm bandage. Gene clothed Leona with a shirt that wouldn't move an arm. Leona lies down and stares at Gin.

“You know what?”

“Tell me.”

“I'm a girl, though, isn't it a little harsh? ”

No matter how much I looked at the wound, my torso was all scrunched up, but Gene's attitude was ignorant and clumsy. Obviously, it was a thankful, yet strange feeling. And I thought it was funny.

It's not a good situation to call a doctor, so it's natural, and Jean's treatment couldn't be better than a twisted doctor.

“I don't know what to say. ”

Jean shrugs, and Leona sighs.

“You're still here. ”

Leona shakes her head, saying that her indiscretion hasn't changed at all. Gin smiles, sweeping Leona's forehead slightly.

“You've changed. ”

“ ……. ”

That said, Leona glanced at Gin quietly.

“Is that weird? ”

“Everything changes. ”

What's that supposed to mean?

“When I met you again, I knew you would change. ”

It's not just about being a hunter. The stubbornness of saying, "Don't overdo it." I would do it for a while, but I had the brutality that only someone who was ready to do it whenever something had to be overwhelmed came along.

Just like Gene, Leona is already one person. For two years they were scattered, they went through their own things.

Gene stares at Leona quietly. Leona has changed and grown in every way.

“In the meantime, I've been helping the group. ”

“Groups…? ”

“I made a deal with Asura. He said if you help him for a year and a half, he'll tell you where you are. ”

Leona had no choice but to make a bitter smile. Already worn out jeans would not have tried to cooperate with such a thing. Just to find Leona, Gene has been doing things he hasn't done for a year and a half.

That's how much you wanted to find yourself, or how pointy you were. Leona could feel the confusion that Gene was that desperate.

“As always, I have broken many things and killed many. ”

With the Darkbone complete, Gene's power was overwhelming, and he could kill more easily than ever before.

“Through those days, I thought of the days I'd see you again. I knew you were alive, but I didn't know how you'd live, and I didn't know who you'd become. Every day, every day, I thought about it. ”

I wonder how all the days were spent missing.

I believed the words of the Sorceress and threw myself every day into a fight for the group, overwhelmed by anxiety and fear. Leona was listening to Jean's story without a word.

“I have met many witches. ”

Jean has met as many witches as she has killed so many. Some of them were hateful enemies, but some of them were also precious to Jean.

“Imagining how you would have changed…. I was afraid.”

Gene had to face the fear of growing as big as he missed it.

“I've seen so many witches who were so consumed by their own power that I couldn't even tell if they were monsters or humans that I killed them with my own hands. ”

Jean's fingertips, placed her hands on Leona's forehead, tremble slightly.

“I thought that you might have changed a lot. Maybe you're realizing your power as a witch and using it to live in the world. I struggled with that thought every day. ”

No matter how grown-up Leona is, the world is not green because she lives alone.

I thought I might live a hunter's life as I learned from myself, but how convenient is the witch's power to survive in the harshness of the world?

Leona has spent countless years thinking that wielding a witch's power to survive, relaxing with it, and eventually being swallowed by it.

“Can't you do that? ”

Leona asked, "If the witch's power has kept me alive and it has swallowed me up, why not?"

“No, it's not like that. ”

Gene adds, looking at Leona quietly.

“But you forgot about me. ”

In perfect understanding and perfect love, they would have been consumed by the power they used to survive, and ironically, they would not need a reunion with Gene, who was the goal of survival.

Gene said as if vomiting.

“I was, I was afraid of it. ”

Leona was looking at Jean's face. There was joy and sadness on his face at the same time. Leona feels the feeling coming from Jean's hands. His greeting was to be passed on to Leona.

It may be the power of a witch to read Gene's feelings.

But Leona thought she knew it because she was human. I decided to think so.

“I was afraid you'd forgotten me. ”

That's what Gene was really afraid of. The devil hunter, who had nothing to fear in the world, was only afraid of it.

But just as all Gin's worthless worries were, Leona, who was reunited, was living a life as a hunter, not a witch.

At two crossroads, Leona was walking the path that Jean had never wanted. Gene strokes Leona's hair and looks straight at her brown eyes.

“You've changed. ”

And I repeat what I just said.

Gin's expression reminded me of a lot of complex emotions, and she seemed to be choking on the emotions that were conveyed at her fingertips.

“So wonderful. It's changed.”

From a hundred-year-old demon-hunter.

It was such a desperate joy to break Leona's heart. Gene shakes his lips and speaks slowly.

“I missed you. ”

Words are mere words, but the many emotions in them are clearly conveyed. not just in the realm of the psychic waves, but in the face, the trembling hands, the eyes.

I can feel a lot of emotions that I can't explain in words, even if I'm not a psychic.

Leona opens her mouth with difficulty, feeling the pain of her heart.

I was bitten by Leona's voice, a bird.

“I…. ”

But not to cry, holding my breath, trying to look straight at Gin's blurry face.

“I wanted to be someone who didn't need you. ”

Tears finally shed from Leona's eyes, and Gene wiped her eyes like that.

In a strange way, Gene nods.

“Yes."

“Not because you protected me. I don't need you to take care of me, I just need you.... ”

Leona grabs Gin's hand on her forehead and says with a steady right hand.

“I didn't need a demon-hunter, I just wanted to be the one who needed you... ”

I don't need the power of a demon-hunter. I just wanted to be the one who needed to be you. That's why Leona, ironically, worked desperately to become someone who didn't need gin. That way, when we face each other again, we'll be able to stand by our side as equals.

I didn't want to be the one screaming the demon hunter's name in the middle of a crisis.

Just as Jean missed Samuch, so was Leona's daily longing.

“I…. You think that's it? ”

When Leona asked, Jean smiled.

“Yes."

One word was enough.

Now you can tell me. Now you can vomit. You can discuss your desperation.

In emotion and joy, Leona says.

“I have a lot of you, a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot... I missed you..."

Seeing Leona crying horribly, Gin swept down her forehead several times.

“I thought I knew regret. ”

Gene confesses.

“I thought I knew sadness and remorse. ”

But not anymore.

“But it wasn't. I didn't know anything. ”

The moment the ash file throws itself at the phantom vane.

Gene truly knew what regret, regret, and sadness were. I truly knew the wrong choices and what tragedy and calamity it would bring if I did not live faithfully now.

Therefore, he commits that he will never live a life he regrets.

Since I couldn't forget the Ash file, Gene insisted that I wouldn't create a second Ash file.

“I will no longer live as a demon-hunter. ”

You have to let go.

I think it's okay now, I think it should be. Gene gave up being a demon-hunter. Soon, we will live only for our happiness.

Leona chose to live as a hunter, but Jean gave up being one.

We both know it's for each other after all.

“Yes... ”

Leona wept.

I cried for a long time.
