Hunter of the Perished World

A demon-hunter who has done the entered task without even knowing its purpose is only aware of his essence after a very long time.

Demon hunting was just a job.

So the machines that were doing the inputs had no reason to hunt demons, no hatred for demons.

Leona doesn't lift her head and look at Gin.

I couldn't even look at Jin's expression for saying that.

Gin also did not look at Leona.

Does the devil who thinks he's a demon-hunter have a life?

Does the machine that mistakenly thinks of itself as a human have a sense of mission for demon-hunting?

A demon-hunter who has slaughtered things that are not evil will destroy all of their lives.

Ramfil couldn't read anything from Gin's firm expression.

Gene stands on a bluish river on the battlefield of the Siamese Sea.

It was not a good place to stay for the day, nor could it be seen as a place to unravel. It was clear that the place where even the average person with normal nerves would not want to stand for a while was filled with bloodshed and brutal slaughter.

Charlotte already knows that the Commander's survivors are no one but herself.

The natural wave of flesh swallowed everyone up.

Except for a few that it was unaffected or resisted.

The war is over and the fighting is meaningless.

Above all, Charlotte didn't want to raise her sword against an enemy who was a member of the Allied forces, thinking that everything was finally playing out with her.

I couldn't completely resolve my feelings, but Charlotte had to admit with a miserable heart.

If I could do anything for Calz, it would be that way, not me.

Charlotte is lost.

The mind that tried to solve the problem by hating Azura eventually returned to Kalz. Kaltz even used the garbage.

Charlotte knew she couldn't stop what he was trying to do. What about Karltz who abandoned Wargrave?

“Do you think Carltz is right? ”

Ramfil asked Charlotte, who had lived as his servant.

“I thought it was a force majeure. ”

“What are you going to do now? ”

Charlotte resigned, knowing she had to struggle as long as she was alive.

He believed that the second destruction would not happen in his generation, and hypnotized himself with the inferior veil.

“Everyone's in a hurry when it's their job. ”

Charlotte mutters as if resigned.

You have to do your job. Kalz's plan is long gone, and Azura's command is at hand. That's why Charlotte hated the Gulf of Azura.

I was a coward.

And in the end, the self-determination is devastating after everything is shattered.

“Kill him or I'll die. We have to move.”

Charlotte bites her lip slightly.

I need help. It was something I could never do alone, and even if it was a suicide, Charlotte needed a chance.

She was the enemy of Wargrave, who lost all her troops. There was no room to borrow troops from the remaining fortresses.

And she knew best that they couldn't face him.

In fact, she was a maid of honor.

It was their job to play a decisive role in the fight against Kalz.

The anger of losing an entire army, and the hatred of Azura. The guilt and self-loathing of unity with the enemy.

I had to give up everything as long as Carls was alive.

She had to pay for her cowardice and vileness that had stood in her way.

“Do you want to go to Moscow together? ”

And Charlotte looked at the people beyond Ramfil.

Many were still confused.

“… you're not in a situation to hear an answer. ”

Charlotte, however, was able to offer decisive assistance.

“I'll come to you with gunships. I'll hear the answer then. ”

I was able to reduce the time to reach Moscow to just one day.

Now that Carltz doesn't know what to do, shortening his travel time was a very important issue.

Charlotte walks through a battlefield full of destroyed equipment and dead bodies to a lonely encampment where there is absolutely nothing.

Ramfil was looking at him quietly.

Ramfil has been thinking ever since he first met her.

‘It doesn't suit me. ’

She does not fit the role of Enemies of Wargrave.

She can't carry even her own weight her whole life, but she has lived a life of overwork on her shoulders.

He was just an ordinary person who didn't have the courage to take responsibility, or the courage to take responsibility.

All she had was the courage to risk her own life.

That's why Charlotte didn't seem like a good fit for Ramsay, not just an enemy, but a soldier.

Leona stands by Jean without a word.

I still couldn't make eye contact. Leona had no idea what Jean would feel like. For Leona, who had only lived for a decade, she could not fathom the feelings of an unjust person for more than 200 years.

But knowing wouldn't do Leona any good without knowing.

“Mister.”

That's why he grips Gin's hand and squeezes her out.

In rotten flesh and burning smells.

“It doesn't matter how you were born. It's how you live. I, I think so. ”

Is it because you were born a demon?

Leona was born a demon, but tries to live as a hunter.

I try to be human. That's why Gin and Leona treat each other like human beings. I was saying, "That's enough."

“I know how much I want to comfort you. ”

“No, no, no. I don't know what you're thinking. I'm sorry to presume and tell you this, but I really want you to know. Whatever you were born with, whatever you were fooled by. I don't think that's important.... ”

“Leona.”

“Yes... ”

“You shouldn't. ”

Only then could Leona look up at Gin.

Gene's expression was endlessly stiff. The gaze that looks down at you seems to be holding a deep darkness, rather than cold.

And Leona notices.

That's your usual look.

“Kaltz would have wanted to confuse me. ”

You're the seventh evil.

He would have wanted to shake the gin with it.

“The best I know is that what I did was not right, whether I was born a demon-hunter or a demon-hunter. And I regretted it, remember? ”

“What?”

“I said it would be okay to fail one more time and add more regret. ”

At Wargrave Fortress, the two check each other's minds.

In a life filled with failures and regrets, Gene decides to endure even if Leona's existence remains a failure and regret. Since then, Gene hasn't let go of Leona for a moment.

Leona nods forcefully.

“Yes, I remember. I remember everything. ”

In his life, he clearly remembered one of the unbearably overwhelming moments.

“That's about it. ”

“Huh?"

“I never claimed everything was fair because I'm a demon-hunter. ”

A demon-hunter who didn't love Humans.

The seventh demon has a great mission for himself and does not hunt demons to rule it.

“So I'm the seventh Devil, and that's a good thing. What I did wasn't right before, and it's not right now. ”

Gene wasn't confused.

“That's shocking when a demon-hunter prides himself on his existence. ”

Gene has never prided himself on being a demon-hunter.

Machines act because they have no emotions, and they have no reason or sense of accomplishment. Instead, Jean wondered why

I felt like I could live as a demon-hunter for so long.

That's why Jean didn't go mad with guilt after listening to Carls.

“What Carls said to provoke me doesn't mean anything to me. ”

It cannot be shocked to those who live with it.

“For me, every breath I take makes no sense. ”

So, in fact, I didn't have to comfort her.

Only then did Leona realize that Jean was in shock and couldn't break up. Leona smiles softly.

And he smiles face to face.

“What's more interesting is the fact that I'm a machine. ”

“Why?”

“How did I learn to mind? ”

I wasn't proud.

No glory.

I wasn't proud.

“I would not have moved since I had finished the Demon Hunt and have done my part. That's what machines are for."

But I learned that a machine is a mind at some point in life. Why does the machine have a heart? Jin wondered as soon as he realized his essence.

Why did I have feelings for Jin, not humans?

“Demon hunters gain a little demonic power when they hunt demons. Because I drink that blood. ”

Ashfile can awaken as a demon and use the power of the Vampire. That's because Ashfile drank the most of the vampire blood.

Foreign hunter Lanthir was able to harness the power of the void.

The dragon-hunter Kaltz was able to talk to the dragon, and he was able to persuade Reganttarius.

Everyone has seen the demonic power evolve to a very small level in their own way.

However, Gene, who hunted the most witches, did not possess any abilities. Jin, the first demon-hunter and witch hunter, has been unable to harness any of the Devil's power.

“Now I know. ”

How machines learned minds.

“It must be hard for me to have a heart. ”

empathy.

The power of witches is to empathize with monsters using psychic waves.

A witch's power that blooms to a very small degree.

As I drank the blood of the witch, I became increasingly mindful of the machine.

Gene doesn't yet know why the Dark Bone works with the blood of a witch, not a demon. You still don't know what the devil and the devil have in common.

However, he actually had the power of a witch. Until now, I just didn't know if it was something you could call strength.

Obviously, Leona was able to feel gin every few moments. I could feel Jean's feelings.

Whenever Jean was overwhelmed by intense emotions, she clearly felt it.

It was a small, weak but possible communication because Gene had the power of a witch.

“I won't say that there were no moments where I dreamed of redemption. ”

Gene picks up the phantom vane and pokes at the crude flesh. The flesh is crushed rather than cut, and the hard blood spills out like flesh.

The devil who learned the mind dreamed of atonement. The result of his sins gave him a heart, and he gave him a great sense of guilt.

It was a proper punishment for the mindless killing machine.

In the moment I dreamed of redemption, Gene lived as a hunter.

“I tried to save a lot of people, and I wanted a lot of people to be happy. If I could bring them happiness at the crossroads of someone's misery and happiness, I would. ”

I've killed monsters, slatters, and saved thousands of lives, not demons.

But most of those attempts came back as failures. Leona clearly felt the same way about Jean.

“I knew that no matter what you did, the life you killed wouldn't come back. I knew that it was just self-consolation. ”

After all, I had to live as a hunter who only loved Chip. Because it hurts to love something in a world where there's more to lose than there is to have.

Atonement doesn't come forever.

He was just that kind of hunter who loved Chip.

“It may not be my fault the world was destroyed, but it may be my fault the world didn't stand up for itself. ”

“Mister... ”

“I thought there was no redemption. ”

Even if he blames himself for the world being destroyed and intact. What does that have to do with anything?

“But now, there's only one. ”

Even if you deny the meaning of all the hunts that didn't have a mission in the first place, nothing will change.

I don't dream of the impossible.

I know that only living with guilt is my role.

“If I had killed a witch, it would have been a greater sin than I thought. ”

Gene lays his hands on Leona's head and looks at the river flowing blue.

“Being by your side is the only atonement. ”

Defending Leona, the witch, is the only atonement left for Jin. Leona pounces on her lips in a speechless mood.

“But I'm not going to make atonement. ”

“What…. Is that sound?”

Leona looks a little frightened because of Gin's sudden reversal of her words.

“This is the world. ”

A world full of corpses. Where is ethics and morality and sin and punishment? The Emperor who appeared to punish them was also a transcendent who had never crossed the line with ethics, and was not God.

“Funny world to pick up the words" atonement. “”

So we do not atone. What does it mean to say that being with Leona is the only atonement, and that you will not atone? Leona's voice trembles.

“Mister... Me, me... I'm leaving... ”

“No.”

“Then...? ”

“You are not the instrument of my atonement. ”

Gene looks at Leona and says,

“I don't need the Last Witch to atone, Leona, I need you. ”

I just need you. Leona looks at Gin's eyes and looks overwhelmed.

Jin grinned.

“If you approach it that way, you're not as easy to kill as you are to protect Frey. ”

“Oh, shit. ”

Gene choked on Leona, who seemed to be crying right away.
