Hunter of the Perished World

Leaving everyone in their quarters, Frey and Ramfil climb over the fallen walls of Castle. They didn't care and weren't instructed by anyone because they weren't in the right military anyway.

Frey watches a vast garrison of troops. She used to wear a robe all the time, but now she doesn't have to.

Even if someone recognizes him, Frey can now defend himself.

“Do you know the first thing I thought after the ritual? ”

“What was that?”

“The thought of wanting to take command here. ”

Ramfil gives you a flawed look. Ramfil may not like him either, but if he kills Francis in this situation, it's clear chaos will arise.

Frey bursts into laughter as Ramfil reacts.

“Who's really gonna do it? I just thought that. ”

“Hah... ”

“Of course, I'm not saying I forgot. ”

Francis, commander of the Central Asian Army, was no less than a swordsman to Frey. It's disgusting to have the co-wires spread out by necessity.

“I will make him pay when this war is over. ”

Frey says that and burns with fury.

Seeing Frey thinking about another fight before the fight was over, he felt a strange feeling.

Frey feels confident and energized as if he had been moistened by his regaining power. The way we accept power is different.

Frey's power was the only thing that could keep the world alive, and the only thing he could trust. In a situation where he lost it and had to rely on Ramfil, he would have destroyed himself thanks to Ramfil.

I lost everything I had. How could I have been beaten? That's why Frey gradually returned to his original form.

‘The original look.... ’

You're trying to get back the hatred for people, the hatred for Wargraves. Ramfil was thinking that.

And as Ramfil began to fall into that thought, Frey suddenly rolled his hands gently.

“I know what you're thinking. ”

“Ah…. Sorry."

“You have nothing to be sorry about. ”

Frey looks up at Ramfil and looks at him with his eyes like a sparkly jewel.

“In order for me not to do that, you have to do well. ”

Somehow, Ramfil smiles as if he's lost his mind.

It's Ramfil's job to keep Frey from hating Humans and throwing himself into slaughter.

Frey's hands are warm. Ramfil squeezes his hand tightly. I had no intention of letting go. Lamfil holds Frey's hand and mutters quietly.

“When I was Wargrave Soldier, the fight meant nothing to me. ”

“Why did you say that? ”

“Just, I want to do it. ”

At that, Frey closed his eyes and listened to Ramfil's voice as if to ask him to try.

“It was an order, so it had to be done, and it wasn't hard. ”

That's what fighting was like for Ramfil. Throughout the battle and the battle, Ramfil has never lost a single battle. Just as no one thought the answer sheet was a problem, so was the fight for Ramfil.

All you had to do was write down the answers, and to Ramfil the genius, those battles were just as simple as wielding a sword.

There was no excitement, no grief, no anger, no despair, and at the end of it there was nothing I wanted. I did not know defeat, so I did not feel joy in winning each time.

There was no battle shame. If you don't want to lose, you can have it only when you imagine defeat.

Ramfil had no desire for victory because he did not feel defeated. In addition, Ramfil's will to live was not so great. There was only the result that if I thought about losing, I would just lose my life.

It didn't feel like much of a fear to him.

That's why Ramfil lived as a perfect fighter.

“I was my first failure when I fought you. ”

“That's why I thought it was one-sided.... That was a horrible memory for me, too. ”

“Haha…. Is that so?”

Frey's soul still engraves fear and agony that one fighter has blocked his movements and left an egg in Phantom Bain.

However, in fact, after that fight, Ramfil would have lost his limb and would have died had it not been for Genedo Leona.

“Been fighting a lot since I left Castle. ”

However, his appearance was different. I didn't just have to do as I was told, but I had to think for myself and judge myself. It was very difficult for Ramfil to think and act according to the military rules.

You meet Gin and Leona, and start tracking Frey.

“There's a point to fighting. ”

I remembered a past I had forgotten, and I fought because of my anger.

I lost and started to feel limited by my abilities. We were on our way to track Frey down, but one of the new Ramfils gave Jean and Leona greater meaning.

Leona felt like her heart would burst if she became dangerous, and she was in a hurry. After checking each other's minds, Ramfil suffered several defeats and failures.

And I started to feel it.

We must win. We must not lose. We must defeat them.

Thinking about what you'll lose if you don't win, the fight becomes desperate for Ramfil. He had fought like Saturn, but had lost a new one, and Ramfil had several fights he had to win.

Lt. Ramfil, a cyborg fighter who had always been confidently victorious without being tied down in victory and defeat, disappeared at some point.

“Frey.”

“Yes.”

“I don't want to fight anymore. ”

I didn't think Ramfil would say that, so Frey had to keep his eyes open.

You may not lose.

However, there are many cases when they cannot be protected.

As the fight became meaningful, Ramfil was defeated several times and knew what the sense of defeat was. It's deprivation, grief, despair.

Feeling that, Ramfil finds himself not wanting to fight a bird. I didn't want to walk every moment of my precious life anymore.

He may have been a coward, but in reality he was the opposite.

The heart of not wanting to lose knowing how desperate the fight was, was bigger than anyone else in the world. I feel an enormous battle shame because I know the horror and pain of fighting, and I don't want to fight anymore.

I'm not saying I want to run.

“When this is all over, let's live a life without fighting. ”

At Ramfil's words, Frey bows his head.

Unlike Ramfil's intentions, Frey's face turns red and trembles.

“You, you really lack consideration! ”

“? ”

Even as Frey grunts, Ramfil tilts his head as if he doesn't know what he's done wrong.

Of course, Ramfil didn't forget what he was saying.

“Don't you want to live together? ”

“Yi, Yi... Crazy…!"

Ramfil still had no concept of shame.

As Ramfil stares at you, Frey's face turns red and he can't even look at Ramfil with his head down.

He wanted an answer.

“Ah, ah... Okay... Uh... ”

So, Frey nods reluctantly.

While Ramfil and Fray were in the middle of the battlefield, Gene was lying on his bed in my quarters. The structure of the accommodation was a living room with two large rooms, Ramfil and Jean in one room, Elizabeth, Leona and Frey in the other.

Ramfil and Frey were outside, so Jean was taking the room by herself and was about to fall asleep.

Hey, are you asleep?

But he wasn't completely asleep, so he could hear Leona's voice outside the door.

“No, what's going on? ”

Can I come in?

“Yes.”

Leona came in with a cautious visit. Of course, the only comfort I had was taking off my boots and wearing slippers in my uniform.

Leona in Wargrave's uniform is quite unfamiliar to Gin. Gene sighs as he sees Leona's anticipated expression.

“You're not having a bad idea about digging around your side because you can't sleep now, are you? I'm not your father, and if I were, I'd be too late. ”

Looking at Gin's disgusting expression, Leona grimaces her head in a absurd manner.

“Ha, who told you to do it? ”

Leona sits on the bed across from Gin.

“Still, I can't sleep. ”

“I think I'll sleep well, so go to sleep. ”

Leona was also a floater, even in Jin's clear reception.

“I want to hear something. ”

I'm sorry I can't sleep, but the point is, that's who you are. Leona adds.

“I don't think I have time to listen to it now. ”

Once the real war begins, there will be no time to talk about it. And Gene knew what Leona meant by that.

When the war is over, you may not be able to hear the story. I didn't know you were thinking that. Perhaps anxious, this situation where he might die, Gene might die.

Like Ramfil, Leona was afraid of this great battle. Jin didn't want to answer the anxiety.

“I don't know what it is, but when the war is over, it's time to talk slowly.... ”

“I want to hear it now. ”

But Leona doesn't back down.

“Now.”

“ ……. ”

“I want to hear.”

Leona emphasized it again with a firm expression. Gene looks into Leona's eyes and slowly rises to her feet.

“Yes, what do you want to know? ”

That said, Leona smiles maliciously.

“What do you like about me at this time? I guess I should ask you the same thing... ”

“That doesn't sound like a word.... ”

“I don't want to know because I already know that. ”

“… Huh. ”

I felt overwhelmed by Leona's confident expression that I didn't have to say anything. Looking at Ramfil and Frey, Leona raised one more drink on the subject of her fierce expression.

As if this were the case, Leona clears her playful expression and asks.

“I want to hear about the witch. ”

“That's a question I had no idea. ”

“I've always been curious. ”

With the thought that he might not be able to hear it now or later, Leona was most curious.

“I'd like to hear more about witch hunting, actually. ”

And I wanted to hear about the witch Jean loved.

Witch hunting,

Gene was a witch hunter among the devil hunters. But Gene didn't tell me about his witch hunt. But Leona still had a clear memory.

In the pity of the free city destroyed by Frey, Jin told Leona. Some of the witches he hunted were not evil, and some were more precious to him than others.

‘By letting you go now, I have insulted everything I have already killed. ’

And I left Leona with that.

“I think I can hear it now. ”

I was sure I'd become that person to you now.

It looked quite arrogant, but it also made Jean speechless.

We didn't have to talk about our feelings for each other. And because of Leona, Jean gave up living as a demon-hunter. Gene did not know why it was curious.

Maybe it was just a feeling of wanting to know everything about Gene.

But Gene was wondering if he could bring up the story that he had killed for a long time.

And that concern didn't last very long.

“It was a witch hunter's game. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Witch hunters were literally enough to be stuffed on their feet at the time. ”

Leona was able to figure out what Jean meant.

Witches are different from other demons. He has fragile blood, and if he doesn't use his mind-set properly, he will die from a single bullet. It is possible to kill a witch without the Darkbone.

“That's why witch hunters are usually men. ”

We don't know who's a witch, but we can tell who's not a witch. A man can never be a witch. That's why anyone who jumped out or bothered the group was as good as dead when they were accused of being a woman.

“And they usually killed ordinary people, not witches. ”

Ironically, when the real witch appeared, the aspect that people saw was no different from the medieval witch hunt.

So, regardless of its existence, witches were used as a tool of domination in fragmented human populations.

“Being a man doesn't necessarily mean you can avoid witch hunting. ”

“How can a man not be a witch? ”

Jean smiles deeply at Leona's question.

“There's a very convenient word for being a witch's inside man. ”

A man cannot be a witch, but being a man does not completely avoid witch hunting. So the word "witch" in a small and large group of humans was an easy tool to capture and kill those who were opposed to domination. However, when I killed a woman, only one person died, but when I had to kill a man, only one woman had to follow me.

In an undiscovered society, the guilt of witchcraft was the stigma of death. No matter how logical and rational they tried to deny it, it couldn't be possible. In a world where there was nothing but power, it was the law that held the gun.

“Lots of people claimed to be witch hunters, but that's not even the current cult shaman. Most of them didn't even know what a witch was. ”

They just wanted to possess the absolute right to life and death of others. Of course, they weren't even hunters. Witch hunters are merely trappers and greedy and despicable rats in a group.

People still survived a considerable number, so the human nature formed a group. The group needed a leader, and the word "witch" to leaders was a very simple way to capture and illuminate everyone in anger.

No matter which city you go to, no matter what village you go to, no matter what group you arrive in, there were people who opened their eyes when they heard the word witch.

“I was the only real witch hunter of my time. ”

The only real witch hunter and demon-hunter in all the fake footprints.

“Finding a witch is easy for me. As you know, no matter how insignificant a witch may be, a monster never attacks a witch. In addition, the blood has the power of the devil, so if I can collect any of the blood, I can tell if the opponent is a witch or not. ”

Gene had a dark bone, a way to tell a witch apart.

Gene did not even judge the false witch hunters. Gene's objective was witch hunting and demonic hunting, not to convict those fakes.

Leona, of course, was a witch, so she didn't like the idea that those who did such terrible things had killed so many people under the pretense of witch hunting.

“So you just let those fakes go? ”

“There was no reason not to. ”

“No reason? ”

“They're usually the ones who have been accused of wrongdoing, but there might be a real witch's death in that unfair death. ”

Leona's complexion turned white.

“There's a way to tell a witch apart, but I can't do anything like taste everyone's blood drop by drop. And I couldn't put the heads of every woman in the world in the belly of a monster. ”

There were only two legs for a demon-hunter to travel the world.

“Leona, what do you think is the surest and most perfect way to destroy a witch in the world? ”

“That's right... ”

There's no other way to kill all the witches.

But Leona opened her eyes to the idea that it was the surest and most perfect way.

Witches are women.

No, witches are human. It's clear what you need to do to eradicate a witch completely.

“If I had a button in my hand that could exterminate all of humanity, I would have pressed it without hesitation. Then the witch will no longer be born. ”

It is not right or justified.

We don't even care about human survival.

If the witch hunt had been completed in exchange for humanity's extinction, that would have been possible.

“That's what demon hunting was for me. ”

It is not for humans.

The Demon Hunter did not love Humans at all.
