He's not a monster.

Seo Min-hyung was still losing his mind, and Baek Hyun didn't want to wake him up. At this time, Seo Ming thought it would be better for him to faint.

The hut beyond the collapsing street was far from the surrounding landscape. Such a form of hut, even though it was dead, once flourished, and it felt more fitting to be in a forest somewhere far away than on this street.

“Isn't that too cute? ”

Baek Hyun murmured as he approached the hut. The desolate appearance of the sanctuary was not unusual, but the only place where the rapids stayed in the experience that Baek Hyun saw for himself seemed plausible or spectacular. However, Tempest's sanctuary was not enough to collapse immediately.

Maybe it's a trick? Does it mean something like this? With that in mind, I approached the cabin, and when I came to the door, In Baek Hyun's head, those thoughts disappeared. Tempest must have been in there.

The moment I caught the door hook.

A vast presence sparkled Baek Hyun's body. Petrol. Baek Hyun whistles a small whistle and slowly turns the doorknob. Thunk, thunk. A cord of blood stood on the back of Baek Hyun's hand and forearm, and the doorknob crept back slowly. A strong force was preventing the door from opening.

“You're a lot of shame. ”

Can I be a nude like an iron maid? Quad! Baek Hyun's forearm is swollen. He concentrates his power with one deep breath, and explodes. The doorknob rotated until it was ripped off.

On that subject, the door was very... gently opened. Baek Hyun looks beyond the open door.

Everything seemed to be buzzing. Unalgebraic landscapes. It was a landscape that matched the exterior of the hut. But everything that was shining was shaking unstable, and the Tempest was invisible.

That wasn't all. The storms that were attacking Baek Hyun in the air of the street, the storms of the century that were incomparable with it, were deceiving the senses and sparking within the hut. The Tempest sanctuary seemed to be this hut, not that street.

“Don't do anything reckless. ”

Baek Hyun said quietly. He looked at Seo Min-sik, who was supporting him.

“I don't intend to take him hostage, so don't overreact. Do you know what that means? I don't have to take the colony hostage so I don't get distracted. ”

It wasn't a bluff. It was because of him that came into Tempest's sanctuary.

And Tempest knew that. He had already tried to forcibly expel Baek Hyun from the sanctuary several times, but strangely, Baek Hyun had not been expelled. Is that it?

The moment the law of the sanctuary intertwined Baek Hyun and tried to pressure him as Tempest wished.

Something happened. I didn't even know what the hell was going on, Tempest. Obviously... the sanctuary would have collapsed altogether if it had been a little more drastic.

Baek Hyun slowly stepped into the door. There was still a violent flow inside, but Baek Hyun naturally melted in it. Tempest maintains the perimeter, but does not try to attack Baek Hyun.

When I came in, the landscapes were clearer. And now I see the invisible Tempest.

Her appearance was remarkable.

That's what the serpent of regeneration said. Seo Ming also referred to Tempest as' her ’. Because of that, I knew that Tempest was a female body, but...

Tempest was more vulgar than I thought. I can't believe it was the rapids who jumped and fought the rapids indiscriminately.

The strangled hair was a mixture of dark blue and green, and the eyebrows under the frowned eyebrows were clearer blue than the hair. What is unusual is that Tempest's limbs are caught in a thick shackle. The shackles and chains that followed were connected to the large halves behind her back.

“Tempest?”

I was sure that what was before my eyes was the Tempest, but Baek Hyun asked me one more time. Then I looked at the shackles of Tempest and the harp.

Although there is no precedent on your part, I could have guessed that that blatant form was a seal of some kind. And that shackle is also connected to the Western colony.

“What do you say? ”

Baek Hyun once again asked. Tempest kept his mouth shut and stared at Baek Hyun. There doesn't seem to be a single wound on the outside. But now Tempest was unable to withstand the shock of the collapse of the former sanctuary. I knew Baek Hyun.

It is the Baek Hyun who holds the sword sack.

“If you're going to keep your mouth shut, I'll do what I want. You know what I'm gonna do? ”

Tempest's eyes flutter and tremble. Baek Hyun looked at the Seo Min-geok that he was carrying on his shoulder.

“First of all, I'm going to break the chain that connects you to the colony. After that, we'll have to clear the colonial contract with you. Why, you don't think so? There's a lot of ways. Killing you will be one way, and then... there's nothing wrong with colonizing my kingdom or my apostleship. ”

Tempest's tremor is stronger. Baek Hyun approached Tempest with a loud voice.

“I don't know why you're obsessed with colonization. I didn't tell you about the colony. But the contract between you and the colony is too dangerous. You know that. Why did you make him an apostle? ”

Seo Minh wanted to be an apostle of Tempest, but Tempest originally tried not to use Seo Minh as an apostle. I know that my contract with him is destroying the Korean colony. By extinguishing the kingdoms, he informed the other monarchs not to touch the Korean colony. He immediately made Hossein an apostle and tried to protect the Korean colony.

That excessive obsession. Baek Hyun still doesn't know why. But the reason... has nothing to do with the ‘contempt’ that Seo Ming said.

“... he said. ”

Tempest's lips slowly opened in a gaze. She gazes at Baek Hyun with her eyes full of hatred.

“Yes, because he wished. ”

It was a murderous voice.

“It's all because of you. ”

Tempest raises his hand and points to Baek Hyun.

“After all, it's all because of you. If you weren't around, that damn thing wouldn't have gotten to Finn. That damn thing said nothing to Finn, so he...”

“Finn?”

Baek Hyun frowned. But Tempest didn't listen to it.

“Without you, Finn would have lived without knowing who he was. ”

“Without you, Finn would never have realized his shortcomings. I wouldn't have longed for qualifications, I wouldn't have felt inferior. ”

“Without you, Finn would have been satisfied and happy. Taking care of you who doesn't wake up, gaining recognition around you. Without wishing to be an apostle. ”

Tempest's voice grew more and more violent. Baek Hyun frowned and listened quietly. It must have been Finn who said Tempest was a colonist. But more than that,

inferiority?

The moment I heard that. Baek Hyun looks down at Seo Min-sik. That... wasn't quite what Baek Hyun knew about the colony.

But really? Unlike you I know. How arrogant and ridiculous that would sound to the parties. How arrogant is it to know someone other than me completely?

“Maybe.”

Baek Hyun nods slowly. Seo Min-sik never said it himself. But if you come now and think about it,

When Baek Hyun opened his eyes. Seo Mincolony was the second highest level hunter in Korea.

Of course there would have been pride. However, Baek Hyun easily defeated Seo Min. I managed to do things that Seo Min-sik couldn't. That was unavoidable. At that time, Baek Hyun already had the power to abandon the apostles.

What did Seo Colony feel like? A friend woke up in five years. In fact, I did it in a different world. What it felt like for him to be in a position that was not comparable to what he had been living as a hunter for five years. They were friends. An arrogant fellow, who is neither better nor lacking.

“Did you really? ”

Baek Hyun looked down at Seo Min-kik and said:

The spirit of colonialism had already returned. from the moment Baek Hyun confronted Tempest. Baek Hyun knew it and continued to support Seo Min-geok.

“... don't be a dick. ”

Seo Min-sik raised his head. He wrinkles his face, staring at Tempest. Tempest's shoulders trembled at that bitter gaze.

“inferiority? Me? ”

“... Finn, I know you are now. You...”

“Different. No. Leah, I didn't want to be an apostle because I was inferior. ”

“That human, no, it was that monster. You...”

“Don't call that bastard a monster! ”

Who's Leah again?

Baek Hyun thought so, but Seo Min-sik shouted. He struggles to get rid of Baek Hyun's support, but the aftermath of the shock does not allow him to enter the body properly.

“Why not? I don't even hear monsters once or twice. ”

“Don't fuck yourself. Fuck, why are you a monster? ”

Seo Min-hyung opened his eyes and looked back at Baek Hyun.

I still remember for sure. Subdue Thunderbirds in Belpar, when Baek Hyun defeated one of the spiritless messengers, the golden kidney organic. After that, I went to Baek Hyun's house and asked him why he was doing such a dangerous thing. I asked him why he had to fight the spirit. Normally, people try to avoid something dangerous while on the road.

I'm not a normal person.

At that time, Baek Hyun replied with a smile.

Baek Hyun was a normal person. Until he became a plant man, he was such an ordinary man. Upon hearing that, Seong-colon realized that he was different from his predecessor five years ago. I felt the pain, but I didn't want to be conscious, and I knew that I was the same as everyone else.

He also knows that he feels like a monster, not a normal person.

From then on, I felt disillusioned for myself. Though he thought he was his best friend, he hated not being able to think of his changed friend as he used to be. The stronger the nervousness, the more distant the relationship seemed to be with a friend. I don't really remember the last time I ate with Baek Hyun.

It's different, it's a pain in the ass. That's natural, but the colony hated it. Is it simply because the position has changed? You just wanted to feel superior to your friends?

It's different.

And I felt far away. It's a long way from a friend. inferiority... even though the essence is not very different, the colonists did not want to admit it as inferiority. It was useless because I had strong pride. It was because of the strong connection with Baek Hyun.

The colonists hated that they were weak.

So I longed. I didn't want to be weak. If it's because he's as strong as a monster that he feels distracted by Baek Hyun, then he should be just as strong.

I didn't want it as much as Baek Hyun. Just so far away from him, you don't feel like a monster.

That's a really tricky street. Soon I cut it down. I didn't want an apostle from the beginning. Seo Min-hyun can't even go to the monastery like Baek Hyun. In order for a hunter to be strong, he must receive the monarch's blessing and receive only his level and power. So I remained faithful. At that time, Abyss was the most dangerous, many monsters, and left alone to the north unexplored. I grew my skills by catching monsters with horse-drawn horses.

It was a long time ago, though. Seo Min-hyeon was still weak, Baek Hyun was strong, and the distance was too far. The distances I didn't want to acknowledge and be conscious of were only deepened.

“You're not a monster. ”

Seo Min-hyeon stared at Baek Hyun. Even now, even if I became an apostle, the distance to Baek Hyun is awkward. It went further than before. However, Seo Colony no longer had a distraction for Baek Hyun.

“I was such a jerk. ”

I admit that Baek Hyun has changed.

Beyond that absurd power, White Hyun's ‘common sense’ was completely distorted. If you're the old Baek Hyun, you'll be surprised what you would never have done, and ask me what the problem is.

But it was also Baek Hyun. The one who said it was different was Baek Hyun. Knowing who he was, Seo Min-hyung found out that Baek Hyun was still Baek Hyun. Selfhatred of finding out what he didn't want to know led him to despair of the Korean colony and at the same time to realize how insignificant the anguish he had against Baek Hyun was.

It was really Seo Ming himself that was against the past and the present.

“Thank you.”

Baek Hyun looked at Seo Min-sik and said:

“For telling me I'm not a monster. I don't care if I'm called a monster. ”

“Son of a bitch.”

“Actually, it's not a monster anymore. I've become rapid. ”

Baek Hyun smiled, knocking on Seo-yeong's back. Like it's really nothing.

“By the way. ”

Baek Hyun slowly turns his head and looks at Tempest.

“Lea Tempest. ”

Baek Hyun's hand pointed to Tempest.

“And the colony you pinned. ”

Sod. Seo Min-sik grinds his teeth. It's the past I didn't want to know. Even though no one else knew, it was something I didn't want to tell Baek Hyun. Seo Min-hyun was still afraid of being despised by Baek Hyun.

“So where's Margo? ”

“... how do you know Margo? ”

Tempest stares at Baek Hyun with a dull, white face. Seo Min-hyung was also alarmed and looked up at Baek Hyun. However, Baek Hyun pointed to an observation floating beside him with a dull face.

“The Iron Maid told you? Margo made Homunkulus, and he performed a miracle with Homunkulus, and eventually he ran away, and Margo and a city flew away. ”

“How did Iron Maid...? ”

“Didn't you know? Iron Maid wants to make Homunculus, too. How much did you observe in secret? ”

The parties don't know. Although, Ironmaid was cautious enough to say that Abyss was not in good contact with Tempest.

“So where's Margo? ”

“Dead.”

Seo Min-sik spits. He squeezes his fist and closes his eyes.

“I, the old me... I killed Margo, who was Finn. I grind my back with an axe. ”

“You're a colony. ”

“Asshole, you don't even know your previous life? I was Finn in my previous life! Finn, Margot's disciple! Because he's no better than using Homunkulus and making fun of Leah! I took Margo's back with an axe! ”

Seo Min-sik cried out with evil.

“Whoa.”

Baek Hyun clapped.

“I don't know about your previous life, but you must have been hot back then. So?”

“What's wrong with that? Fuck...! I killed Margo, I took Leah out into the world. ”

“Who named Leah? Margot?”

“... me. ”

“Why did you name it? ”

“Isn't it strange to call him Homunkulus every time you call him...! ”

“That's right. ”

Baek Hyun nods with a fresh expression. I thought there was a great story.

“So, what came out of the world? ”

“I wanted to give Leah freedom. But Leah couldn't get out of the glass bottle, and thanks to her... I took Leah and left the world. ”

“Mako mimicking? ”

“... just once...! Margo, that son of a bitch did all kinds of shit because of my honor. The drought at the time was not caused by Margo's use of Leah, but he didn't see a miracle coming to an end. ”

“Because you were so sweet. ”

Tempest murmurs.

“If you don't care, that's it. I just wish I'd left Hi-Jean. But you...”

“How could you do that? The people of Hijón were weakened because Margo caused a disaster and trained the people. I should have taken responsibility, I should have atoned for it. Because I killed Margo! ”

“Enough.”

Baek Hyun defeated Seo Min-sik, who used evil.

“I understand. ”

The reason you might be despised when you find out.

Being obsessed with the source of chaos.

Atonement.

It was obvious. To prevent the drought, Seo Min-geok, no, Finn, went out. But Finn did not control Homunkulus. No, maybe Homunculus was out of control and suddenly reckless.

Or that's it.

Baek Hyun looks at Tempest. Iron Maid said Tempest killed Margot to gain freedom.

“Colonel.”

Baek Hyun tapped Seo-yeong's shoulder.

“You said I might despise you. ”

It was nothing different than Sarah's time.

In the end, the answer was the same.

“Why should I? ”

Baek Hyun said as he watched Seo Min's expression.
