< Reminiscence >

Suddenly, a strong wind blew. The dirt from the ground hits your face, closing your eyes.

The wind soon stopped, but my eyes did not open. I saw nothing, but all but vision became more sensitive. The horrifying heart of death, the trembling mouth, the ugly hand that touches the crown, and the myriad of dark energies that tread on the land nearby.

Bang!

At that time, a strong earth-shattering vibration was transmitted on the knees. Extremely rough footsteps.

“Belpegor. This is scout contact. ”

The unpleasant sound of scraping iron then pierces the ear socket.

“We have confirmed the emergence of the brain system. ”

“Hehe!”

At that moment, Belpegor tightly grabbed my hair, and suddenly the whole head was pulled out. But the pain disappeared quickly. The unbelievable news that I just heard shocked me more than pain.

“Huh! I didn't think so. Did you really come? No, wait. You're not here alone, are you? ”

“I was disconnected as soon as I got my first report. I think there's more than a thousand of them... ”

“A thousand. Then there could be all the Hamill... Well, I get it. Spread the word. There are so many of us, but don't let your guard down. They have fought equally with us several times. One cannot be underestimated. ”

“Yes, I'll keep that in mind. ”

The footsteps again become distant. And I tried so hard not to be surprised.

Brother's coming.

My brothers and colleagues from the Hamill Clan are on their way to rescue me.

At that moment, I felt unequal to the heart that was drenched in fear.

*

The one in the lead places his armor on the ground, while the other five hold it at the same time. Then, the three of them quickly retreated to the sides and plotted against each other. Like someone's gonna come in soon.

“Do you still have the strength to put on your own? ”

As soon as I thought about it, my expectations were right. Someone walks in between the horsemen, lined up to the left and right. It was a familiar voice.

“I can dress you up if you want. ”

Suddenly, the figure slowly revealed a step by step. The woman smiling was Erwin.

“What are you up to? ”

No matter how much I thought about it, my voice became sharp because I didn't know the situation in English. You lock him up and suddenly give him his gear back? I don't understand the situation.

“What do you mean? What do you mean?”

However, Erwin brushes his eyebrows in a strange way.

“I'm not doing anything. Your brother will be here soon. That's all."

“Excuse me?”

Exactly!

A few moments later, Erwin flicks his fingers hard enough to make a single sound. At the same time, the chain, which was tied around my wrist and ankle, was released quickly. Not just me, but also Han So-young.

My body was suddenly unbalanced, unable to adapt to my freedom, but I was able to straighten out.

“You don't have time to talk long anyway, and you're smart enough to understand. Then get dressed and come out. ”

“Wait...! ”

“Oh, you understand we can't release the restraining device yet? ”

“ ……. ”

Erwin turns around and hides himself at the entrance. Han So-young and I stared at each other for a long time, and woke up to the sound of the Horsemen touching the equipment. I don't know what happened, but I felt like I had to wear it quickly. Eventually, I couldn't overcome the pressure of something, so I slowly reached out my arm.

The equipment was unexpectedly kept clean. He also handed over gloves, as well as weapons such as the unsheathed sword and Victoria's glory. Except for one, Excalibur.

After all, the restraining device was clearly not awkward with the magical restraints on. However, thanks to the shirt of hope, it is possible to move without a large crowd. As we walk across the island and out the entrance, Erwin is standing in the hallway waiting. Erwin glances at me and starts walking without a word.

I reach for my back, which is rapidly drifting away, and then I reap it. I wanted to ask you because it was a pile, but first I thought it would be better to watch quietly. It's not that I don't have a clue.

And how much time has passed.

The space we used to have was the temple of promise, the top floor.

All I could hear down the stairs and out of the maze was Erwin, the volatile vanguard, me, Hanyoung, and the footsteps of the horsemen following me.

Suddenly.

“ ……. ”

A strange strangeness struck me.

Strange. This must be the first time I've been in this situation, but why does it feel like I've been in it before?

“Good day to die.... ”

Suddenly, the sound of muttering to yourself flows faintly. Surprised, he looks forward, and someone pushes his back slightly.

“Ugh!"

At the same time, I screamed for weak elasticity. It was not because he pushed his back, but because suddenly a bright light poured into his eyes.

After not knowing how long it had been, the sun was warm enough and dazzling enough that the eyes could squint by themselves. At the same time, the clear and cool air that pierces your chest, not heavy and dreary air, rushes to your nose. Though my vision was still white, I intuitively realized that it emerged at the center of a broad monolith.

The Temple of Promise is a massive structure that combines in three piles. The church building at the top is connected by an arch roof, the temple with an entrance surrounded by columns in the middle, and the tall, thick statue that firmly supports the two buildings with long stairways from the bottom to the left.

Among these I will be between the bottom and the middle.

Soon, I will be able to adapt to the light and gradually restore my vision.

“ ……! ”

Suddenly, I was instantly stunned by the pressure that was pressing my whole body down.

On the ground beneath the single statue, countless beings were plotted in rows. The Horse, South Continent users, West Continent users, have fairies. Under the sky full of white clouds, I was looking up at all the statues in the bright sunlight.

How can I not be surprised when this vast army fills the earth at once? We've killed as many as we can, but there's still a lot left.

It wasn't just that.

If there is one thing I felt when I saw it, it is that there is a strangely tense atmosphere flowing throughout. If I'm right, this is the place to meet me to exchange the zero-code.

Beyond the need for one, there was an ominous fortune that was almost as thick as the neck. If I'm not mistaken.

Why is Tanatos invisible, by the way? Where is he?

“Where is Yoohyun Kim coming from? ”

You hear Erwin's voice as you search for Tanatos. I think I changed my tune and thought I was a fairy, but no matter how many times I hear it, I can't get used to it.

“I heard you passed the Gateway. Reconnaissance reports…. Oh, there he is. ”

Astaroth, sitting on the edge of the single-place, points indifferently to the left staircase. Unfortunately, a horseman hurriedly leaps up the stairs and kneels violently for a thumping sound.

“Here's your report. Enemy access confirmed. ”

Access confirmed. We have to believe it by now. In fact, I was talking about anti-Semitism, and my brother was really coming.

“I heard you passed the gate. ”

“Yes, I think I'll be there in about 20 minutes. ”

“How many?”

“There are still 4,000 of us. Just like the men who came out of the Warp Gate that Melinus installed. And then I came all the way here, and I didn't give it any more, I didn't give it any more. ”

“And…. ”

“We did a full ten kilometers of scouting, and found no signs of anything unusual. Instead of reinforcements, we didn't even have to wash our eyes of the sneaky followers or bypass troops. Melinus closed the Warp Gate a while ago. ”

As Erwin listens to the report, Astarot grunts, looking behind Salmoney.

“Oh, dear. I guess it was a good thing you let me through the gate.... ”

Erwin nods after defeating the Horsemen with a gesture of his hand.

“I can't help it. There's no way he's getting up here without going crazy, is there? I can't say it's small, but 4,000 are admissible as escorts. ”

“But you weren't too complacent to keep scouting. ”

“I do, but I don't think I can pull this off in this open meadow. In the end, it's either one of them. Is that current power or is that the escort? ”

“… to do it. Unless they have wings like ours. ”

Astarot laughs and giggles alone. It was no joke at all, but Erwin's thoughts were almost the same as mine.

It was definitely 4,000. It's not just a small troop, but it's hard to believe you'll be able to fight with such a loss. Erwin suggested two possibilities, but probably weighed the latter. So am I.

In other words, the brother finally chose an exchange.

Suddenly, when I thought that, my chest suddenly turned dull.

Of course, I understood my brother's desire to save me, and there was a yearning that I also wanted to live. However, I felt that I had given up on the zero-code, so the futility of the reason was overwhelming. I can't tell you why, but I don't think I should...

But there's no way.

“ ……. ”

Really….

Are you sure this is the end?

“Phew... ”

I couldn't overcome the awkwardness for a moment, so I took a deep breath. One area was always silent, except for the sound of snacks. That's why I heard a loud sigh. It was then.

Speechless, Speechless!

“Huh?"

Suddenly, with someone's resilience, there was a sudden commotion from afar.

“... There he is. ”

At the beginning of Astarot's voice, the turbulent flow of air begins to spread like waves everywhere, over-paid.

Yoohyun Kim: Blah blah blah blah blah blah
