Hunter of the Perished World

Gene blows Salahadin's consciousness in a heartbeat, leaving him alone to look at Raqen.

You move at a speed you can't even see. Rachael swallows his saliva.

I didn't know specifically what a demon-hunter was, and I didn't want to know.

“I don't like keeping my enemies alive. ”

Raqen had already lost his mind in front of the overwhelming imperative. Can you shoot an invisible enemy with a gun?

The Pokémon must not be provoked at this time.

“I hear you both helped Leona. ”

Demon hunters' carefulness doesn't come from anything else.

“That's the only reason I won't kill you. ”

So, I was staring at Raqen, as if not to do anything nonsense. Leona had already heard that she dealt with dragons through a floating wind gate in the city. I can't believe I can't even look at a dragon, and there's even a demon-hunter there.

Raqen bursts into a daze, seemingly absurd.

“What the hell are you? ”

When I saw Leona, I decided not to die in a place like this. That's why I let him go.

However, Raqen thought it was the best choice in his life. The demon-hunter in front of him was horrified, as if Leona were to wipe out the city if she had died.

Nevertheless, Raqen did not break his will, even though he had lost his will. In Raqen's bitter gaze, Jin sighs lightly.

“You have the eyes of a ghost. ”

“ ……. ”

“I've seen a lot of people with your eyes. ”

Even though Leona didn't know it, Gene, who lived with so many people, knew what was boiling in Raqen's eyes. Raqen mutters in a mixed voice.

“What do you know about me? ”

“I don't know about you, but I've seen as many people as you do. ”

He was driven mad by revenge, and his ears (Qi) aligned in his eyes, even though he was clearly a living person.

The eyes of those who choose to live as villains are like that. It is so intense that it does not retreat to the evil Scar (Qi).

To be precise, there is no turning back.

“Obviously, vengeance will do a lot for you. ”

Vengeance and hatred are just as widespread in the world. How many people draw their swords from vengeance all over the world, and how much vengeance succeeded and failed.

Gene saw those who had achieved vengeance, those who had failed vengeance, and those who had suffered death at the end of the chain of vengeance.

Gene did not say revenge is meaningless.

I told him I'd give him a lot.

“I know what you're thinking. ”

Rachael grips his teeth.

“After killing Shimach Windil, you'll die on your own. ”

“ ……. ”

Gene was briefly briefed on the character Raqen. Gene understood Raqen, and that story was enough to predict what he would do.

“Aren't you going to throw your life into the hands of people? ”

Definitely Rachael. Rachen shakes her fingertips slightly, whether she was stabbed or not.

“What... Is that what you think? ”

“Anyone who chooses to live as a villain because he was born with no means to be a hero himself, that's for sure. ”

Knowing the tragedy of childish heroism, I chose to live as a villain. But that's not an intact hero, and it's certainly not an intact villain.

So if you choose to live as a villain, you have to make that choice at the end.

Ratchet was extremely disgusted by pretending that this unknown monster knew about his life. But Rachael knew it, too.

The monster in sight predicted his past and future, and fully understood his present self. But it was more of a slaughter than an understanding. I'm just stripping him of his skin.

Rachael plans to sink with the nobles if the city falls.

“Life can prove many things. With the enemy's life, with his own. ”

My enemies' lives can prove my strength, my hatred, and my vengeance.

But what if it's not the life of the enemy, but mine?

What can I prove with my life?

It's, it's pure.

“You don't have to prove your innocence anywhere. ”

Throwing his own life at the end of revenge, the avenger can prove his innocence.

My life was completely concluded by achieving revenge, and nothing after that existed. Therefore, whether vengeance is a sin, or whether the avenger of vengeance has been defiled by sin by choosing such an end, only innocence is guaranteed.

But who the hell knows?

“It's just self-satisfaction. ”

That's what Gene told Rachael.

No one understands that Lajon is going to die like that. Even if Raqen dies in the cheers of those who have made him suffer, no one will notice.

Therefore, Lajon's life, which he was about to throw, could not show more than trivial self-satisfaction.

If no one knows the purity of the purity of the purity of the self, what can death be expressed as but suicide?

Raqen smiles, twitching his lips as he listens to the sermon, not Jin's sermon.

“What are you, preaching to me in the middle of nowhere? I'm under no obligation to listen to that, and you think I'm gonna listen to anything you say? ”

“No, I don't think so. ”

Again, Gene uttered the opposite from what he had said in the verse.

“As you have a duty of vengeance, so do I. ”

“Duty?”

“Yes, obligation. ”

What's the obligation to Jean and Lachen, the first time I've seen them today?

“Leona told me not to kill you, and I'm willing to do her a favor. ”

The reason Gene talks through this verse is because of Leona, in fact. Leona told Jin about Shimach Windil's protection and asked him not to kill Saladin or Lajon.

I could ask you because I'm sure Gene would.

“Leona doesn't want me to kill you, and she doesn't want you to kill yourself. ”

“ ……. ”

“It is an obligation. ”

Lajon's favor wasn't much of a favor to Leona, but it was his way of saving her.

Even without the Black Dragon, Raccoon was determined to collapse along with the tower, and was fully prepared to do so.

If the dragon hadn't shown up, Rachael would have destroyed the entire tower by detonating a secret underground explosion. Then the tower sank, and a new order would have come with forced chaos.

But when the Black Dragon appeared, Rachael's plan collapsed.

Mysters fled because of the Black Dragon, and the Black Dragon slowly began to destroy the tower, and the nobles are now prisoners. As a result, many slaves who should have died with the nobles survived.

Due to Leona's appearance, the revolution's movements were a little slower, and as a result, even less damage could have occurred.

Jean knew it, just as Rachael knew it. Gene doesn't fully know what Raqen was trying to do, but he can roughly guess.

“I didn't mean to, but I'm sure you owe Leona. To be precise, the Black Dragon. ”

A sense of justice, he embraced it and became a villain.

Therefore, there is clearly a foolish sense of justice. I didn't abandon it and become a villain.

Ultimately, Leona saved countless innocent people who, if not intentionally, would have been sacrificed by Rachael's plan. The revolution may not go smoothly, but it will.

There was no better outcome for Rachael, who tried to destroy the noble societies. In fact, the tower eventually collapsed.

All but Shimach Windil and Jodnak Ruegent are dead.

To Leona, whom Raqen planned but consequently mitigated all the damage, he should also be thankful for that little sense of justice.

“A fitting sin is a sin, not a suicide. ”

Therefore, the sinner's death because he could not bear the sin is more like a veil.

Therefore, Rachael's death is more than just a proof of purity, it is another sin to build up. Death is just another evil that avoids all atonement and all suffering.

Sinners should not choose freedom in the name of death.

“I offer you a minimum of conscience. ”

Gene stared at Raqen's eyes as if he could see through them.

“Live with your sins. ”

Jin smiles bitterly and adds.

“That's Leona's wish. ”

Encouraging such a life is not good, but evil.

I didn't know how to make atonement, but I knew for myself how much pain it was to live with sin.

Rachen's expression was hard and silent for a long time.

“... let me meet Shimach Windil. ”

After a long silence, Rachael said so.

That's what Leona said.

‘I still don't know about Raqen. ’

‘But if you think about what you said to me and what you said to Rudy, he's probably trying to die. ’

‘Cause if you don't, you're gonna die. If Rachael wants to live without guilt, it's definitely not worth living. ’

‘But if he finds out that he's guilty, he's a coward to die. ’

‘I think so. ’

‘Mister.'

‘I don't want him to die. ’

‘Even in pain, even if you don't make amends, you have to live with guilt. ’

‘Rather, would that happen to such a person? ’

Apparently, that's what Leona said.

Hearing Leona's words, Gene was surprised to learn that Leona's thoughts resemble hers.

Hearing Leona's words, Gene had no choice but to think about himself at the same time as encouraging Rachael to live. Is it a painful death that suits sinners, or living in pain with atonement on their backs that they cannot bear?

There is no answer.

Gene only chose. Gene lived because he could not tolerate death freeing himself from everything. Living on chips, hunting monsters.

For Jin, who had lived the days of demon-hunting, a hundred years as a hunter had only survived.

In the overwhelming guilt and guilt of every moment of survival, Gene lived knowing that he could not atone forever for the many sins he had committed.

If you can't make atonement forever, to live with sin forever.

Gene was going to live forever.

Those days were the days of wandering around the world looking for demons without demons.

However, sin did not disappear, nor was atonement done, but rather, life was just a day when sin was added to sin. The weight of sin that increased as we lived, we also thought that Gene was his inheritance.

He desperately survived, considering that longing for death was his greatest sin.

Although it was not the only atonement to live in the muck of guilt, it was thought that it was the only way.

So, Gene survived to survive.

How about now?

Knowing that it was a sin to crave death, Gene thought it was also a sin to crave happiness.

But Gene found Leona and gave up demon-hunting.

That's why, thinking about what Leona had heard and what she had to say to Rachael, Gene had no choice but to think about what being with Leona meant to him.

I dared to feel a terrible disgrace about myself dreaming of happiness.

Life for Gene was the same or even heavier than the two choices: to destroy or save the world.

I'm not surviving.

One day, when Leona told me not that she would survive in Fortress, Jean also said the same thing to herself.

I'll live.

I decided that I would rather live consciously than stumble through the depths of darkness with my guilt.

It was a way of living with a contradictory mind to grab happiness without forgiving yourself.

It wasn't hard for Gene to convince the opposing Pokémon with words of any kind.

But as I said this time, he twisted his chest like an awl. It was hard to face the many faces that came to me like a mirage.

Gene knew best that it was just a cheap sentiment after all.

Do I deserve to be happy?

It's just that level of advice. I'm sick and tired of complaining about my low standards and low standards. Jin realizes that he is still twisted and smiles bitterly.

I know that all kinds of mental pain and suffering and reason are not worth a single bullet in the end.

Such deliberate blindness is clearly necessary for survival.

After all, he didn't live in a muck of guilt and eat what he had to eat and face the enemies he had to deal with.

Gene is now at the confrontation of Shimach Windil and Lachen. You retrieve the weapon because you may be up to no good. Saladin remains tied up.

Shimach Windil was initially embarrassed, but soon he noticed the atmosphere of the great river as he looked at Rachen in his seat.

“I won't forgive you. ”

“I'm not the only one who can give it back. ”

Shimach Windil has taken everything from him, and Shimach Windil has taken everything from him.

Both of them, it was pointless to talk about their hatred for each other. Gene would not interfere if the tension between the two were not accompanied by force.

“You've been a hypocrite your whole life. ”

“... Yes, I won't deny it now. ”

He wore a mask of mercy and compassion in front of him, behind him, spying and ducking, and was not hesitant to infiltrate spies to ward off other masters.

In the collapsed yard, Shimach Windill did not even claim his justification.

It is also true that Lajon was sacrificed in hypocrisy.

But Rachael looks at an empty bunker. I also heard about why the Demon Hunter showed up at this unprecedented time.

Lajon knew it was pure coincidence that Shimach Windill saved his life in this moment.

So, Raqen was silently staring at Shimach Windill.

“I'm not so sure anymore. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Is this your hypocrisy too? ”

Raqen was confused at the sight of Shimach Windill, who would have been biting and waiting to die, as if he were going to die alone.

Shimach Windill, who thought he was on the verge of death, expected to struggle to never let go of what he had in his hand.

Shimach Windill nods at Raqen's question.

“Yes, hypocrisy. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's hypocrisy that I want others to know that my death was still not selfish. ”

If death is inevitable, it means that he will be virtuous. Raqen looks down, looking at that Shimach Windill.

“I don't know.”

Rachael saw.

Press the bomb switch in the Master Conference Room, and when not fired. When the explosive is completely unresponsive.

I saw the relief that was passing through his face.

What was that relief? Then what was the relief after you pressed the button and decided to kill it?

“It seems that you and I use hypocrisy in different ways. ”

Raqen raises his head again to look at Shimach Windill.

“What difference does it make to you? ”

His compassion and resourcefulness would be hypocrisy, if the mask of hypocrisy were never removed.
