“· · · · ·, load. ”

Reynn nodded. She looked at the sight before her eyes with a trembling face. A demigod who has lived for thousands of years is not agitated by anything. Because the higher consciousness formed over time does not tolerate it.

But as much as this moment, she had no choice.

Ricky.

Because he, the demigod who was closest to Rod, was on the ground in such a disastrous way that even the word "all-new spear" was not enough.

The right arm is burned, the left arm is poisoned, the right leg is fraudulent, and the left leg is torn apart by the wind.

It is self-evident who thought of this method of punishment.

Rod put his finger down.

[Did you feel the pain of your countrymen at all? Ricky]

Ricky didn't react like a doll to torture, not to Rod's torture.

I don't feel the pain of being demi-god or that much relief at all. Rather, they are less resistant because they have less work to do.

And yet Ricky didn't even frown.

“Kill him.”

Ricky said loudly. Rod looks at him quietly and turns around.

[· · · · · I'm going. Reynn. Ananta and Agni, please Nose Dog.]

“Please?”

[Leave him alone and he suffers a dangerous fatal injury. I need treatment. I'm going to wander the continent for a while and prepare for it. Until then, please ask them.]

“Now, wait a minute. What about Ricky?”

[· · · · · ·]

Rod gives Ricky a glance, and then he walks around making room without answering. Reynn stares at his back with a dark face.

“What am I supposed to do? Alternative · · · · · ·. ”

Her gaze was on Ricky.

Critical Wound. A Critical Wound that can't survive even if it's a demigod. Even if you leave it like this, you die. Certainly. There will be no one who knows more about the physical structure of Demigod than Leirin.

That can't be saved. Ricky's death became a lie.

Reynn raises his hand. A wide breeze broke out in her hands. With this kind of power, a weakened Ricky will die without a hand. Your body will tear apart.

But Reynn didn't.

Hook

The wind disappeared from her hands.

“You have to regret it until you die. Ricky, how stupid you've done. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“I don't want to kill you here because I don't want to see the miserable end of what was once a people. ”

Ricky didn't answer. Reynn bites his lips.

“Go wherever you want. Somewhere out of my sight. Die there. ”

Reynolds disappeared with the words. Ricky must have gone after the critically wounded, as Rod instructed.

Ricky woke up in his place. Then I started to twist and walk with the blade completely crushed.

1.

Frey was left alone in the cave again. Suddenly, a terrible sense of powerlessness overwhelmed my entire body.

Without Iris' help, I would have died here. ’

The fact that the opponent is the strongest among demigads is no excuse. I didn't come back to kill him in the first place.

By the way, what did you just mean by that pathetic twitch?

Frey chewed his lips. I knew how hard I chewed my blood.

‘Shit. ’

Weak. So weak. I intend to laugh if anyone else has seen it. However, even if he fulfilled the Eight-St. Mark, even if he made a contract with Asura, the ruler of the Inferno, he was weak when he was able to deal with divinity.

It may be inevitable. The opponent is a demigod. He's a transcendent who can't do it with human power.

But can you convince yourself of that excuse? Didn't you come back in the first place with a plan to fight them?

Fray walks to Lucid's grave.

“You've had a good time. Lucid.”

He looked fierce in front of the grave of friendship. He looks at the knife in the ground with one hand. Despite 4,000 years ago, Diouqid's forecasts were not a bit dull.

“Say it. Lucid, what did you do to Ricky? ”

Why the hell did he betray his people?

The answer was heard from behind.

“· · · · ·, instructed. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Frey looked back. And I suddenly lost my horse.

There was a wretched Ricky standing. Frey had never seen such a severely wounded creature.

There were poisonous burns, something like a tear on the blade, and skin discoloration and death. Standing is incredibly scary.

“You. That wound. ”

“It's okay.”

Ricky said so and moved his footsteps. Every time I move, the discolored blood drops.

Quadang

He collapsed without being able to move a few steps. Even though I fell badly, there was no pain in my face. I looked like I had no balls, but it didn't look like anything.

I just said it with a bit of a hard face.

“· · · · · I'm sorry but can I help you a little? ”

I didn't know the day would come when I would ask Demigod to do this. Frey approaches Ricky after a short silence and supports him.

Ricky wanted to lean next to Lucid's grave. I did that.

He breathed heavily.

“It looks like Rod was here. ”

“Yes.”

“Everything is my disapproval. Hoo-hoo. I thought it was an opportunity, but this side got crowded. You shouldn't have come here in the first place. ”

Ricky chuckles and vomits blood several times. He asked without even intending to wipe the blood flowing through the jaw line.

“How did you survive? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“What. Isn't that important? ”

Then Frey's expression hardened. Ricky's left arm was cut off and fell to the ground.

Ricky looked at his fallen left arm and said,

“I earned a year's time. ”

“Years? ”

“Yes. I did some damage to Nozdog, Ananta, and Agny. Especially Nose Dog's wounds are not fatal. It will take at least a year to heal them all. Until then, you won't be able to move openly. ”

“Where's Rod?”

“I will help them with their treatment with Reyrin. If you leave it alone, it may be extinct. ”

“You won those four by yourself. ”

Ricky didn't deny it. I looked tired. It was a strange sight. There were terrible wounds all over his body, but Ricky did not groan in pain. I didn't even frown.

It's like you've lost your senses.

‘I can't save you. ’

Frey, who had killed Demigod several times, knew. I know that Ricky is now suffering an irreversible wound.

Ricky, Apocalypse and Demigod die. It would have been welcome if it had been a general situation.

Nevertheless, Frey couldn't be happier. Rather, my heart became heavy.

“Why did you betray Demigod? ”

I asked the question again one day.

Ricky's gaze was on Frey. Looking closely, his left eye was already half closed.

“I fought a man 4,000 years ago. ”

Frey knew who the man was.

“Swordsman Lucid. ”

“Yes, he was a great man. Physical abilities were also great, but especially the mental part. There was a strong belief that would not be shaken by anything. ”

Ricky calmly recalled his day with Lucid. Everything comes to mind as it was yesterday.

Among other things, Lucid's words still left a strong impression on Ricky's brain. It was not an exaggeration to say a word that changed everything.

“It's just a black fly without belief. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Frey trembled at the words.

Because I peeked at Lucid instantly in Ricky's face.

“I thought it was bullshit. Beliefs are beliefs, violence is violence. I thought there was no reason for a strong man. However, the more he divided the sword, the more he was moved by his thoughts. ”

It was a mysterious experience that would never happen again. Ricky didn't do his best then. I just wanted to steal Lucid's sword. There was a need to see and learn many swordsmanships to fully handle the power of the sword.

And Lucid's drift was the perfect completion of his swordsmanship.

However, it was not the only one. Lucid's knife was solid. There was no shaking. Perfect immobility, perhaps a knife crushed and a heart pierced, would not change his comfort.

Ricky understands what a knife with faith is.

I looked down at his sword.

There was nothing.

“All I had in my hand was a fly. It was ridiculous. I realized that. Without the power of the sword, in comparison to pure swordsmanship, · · · I can't even chase Lucid's toes. ”

I wanted to know more. I felt this curious thirst would be resolved if I continued to face this man.

However, Ricky's wishes were not fulfilled.

“Lord killed Lucid. ”

It happened instantly. The rod that tore the space apart killed Lucid as it appeared.

After the battle, I was interrupted.

Angry.

“I attacked Rod. He gently comforted me. And I apologized. It was your prey. I'm sorry. ”

Prey? Prey? It wasn't like that. Lucid was no prey to Ricky.

That's when I realized what Rod was.

Ricky sees Frey with only one eye left.

I have something to tell him. For himself, for him, for all the peoples of the continent, and most of all for demigade.

“Listen carefully. Frey. There is only demigade in the world of Rod. ”

If there is a breach in the road that appears to be absolute, it is that part.

With Rod, demigad is all. That was Rod's only weakness. However, Ricky's heart was not comfortable telling the truth.

Rod was so wrong himself. I sympathized with his will. I thought it was right. The continent thought it existed for demigod.

No, it can't be, can it? There are countless lives on this vast continent. All of them belong to demigads that don't even have a hundred individuals.

“We were supposed to be born in the first place. ”

The energy that should have existed all the way through the absolute law is self-conscious and exercises its power accordingly. It was something that should never happen.

Ricky pondered. Then what to do. This is the only absolute existence on the continent, the demigade, which must reign until the end of the world.

A mature dragon has been hit close to extinction. Demigad and other worldly transcendents are not fully empowered on the continent, nor are they of great interest.

Then, there was only one way left.

Seeing the end with your own hands.

But Ricky failed.

Pass

“ · · · · · ·! You. Your feet. ”

Ricky's toes turn to ash and scatter slowly. Frey panicked, but Ricky, the party, was rather brutal. He mutters with a distinctive voice.

“Go to the Blake family. There must be a clue about Illuminium. If demigod can handle it completely, it's all over. We have to stop him somehow. ”

“I understand. ”

Frey had no choice but to nod. His face blossomed with hesitation.

I don't know how to react to Ricky dying.

Up? Or an appointment? · · · · · · None of the above. It's not just a fountain action, Ricky wouldn't want it either.

Listen to Ricky's will and don't miss a single clue.

That's all I think about now.

“In the snowfield at the northern end there is a demigod called Elijah. ”

“Elijah? ”

“A freak who doesn't care about the circles or demigads. Even Rod is the only demigade to give up management. In addition to me,

If you're looking for a demigod to cooperate with, she's the only one. ”

His voice faded.

“Tell Snow I'm sorry. There's nothing to worry about. Even if I die, it won't affect her. ”

Ricky's vision became blurred. That's the limit. That's it.

I can feel death before my eyes.

Demigod's death is different from other beings. It means the extinction of self-consciousness and the eternal end.

I wasn't afraid of that. It was just a shame.

“If Lucid saw me now, And if you fought... ”

What did he say?

I wonder. It was a shame I couldn't hear the answer, but I can't help it.

It was then.

“Great swordsmanship. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Ricky saw Frey. Frey spoke without avoiding his gaze.

“If I had fought you now, Lucid would have said so. ”

“Who are you? ”

Frey was silent. But there was no time to delay answering.

“Lucas Trowman. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Ricky's eyes fluctuated with complex emotions. He looked at Frey for a while, closed his eyes.

“You did. Huhu. I was reassured. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Thank you, Lucas. ”

And I closed my eyes slowly. Satisfied face, with a faint smile.

At that time, his body became completely ashes.

─ Demigod with the power of the sword, Ricky.

It was his death.
