The Returner

2. You're my brother. Right? (5)

France was in no hurry.

No, it would be an accurate representation that there is no rush.

Monsters that started in Paris had already passed through France in a straight line, and had already come close to the Swiss border.

Then, this time, fire broke out on the backs of the feet of Switzerland and Italy.

Unlike Seti, who appeared in the United States, it was a relief that he was moving slowly, but there was a problem that he was more clearly destroying and advancing his surroundings.

“That's creepy. ”

Commander Xavier spits on the floor, gazing at the telescopically shaped monsters.

That son of a bitch destroyed his homeland.

Even though I mobilized all the French six battalions and dragged all the talent with me, he didn't give me a hint.

The only consolation is that the damage was not great because it was a little less aggressive…….

“There wasn't a single building left. ”

After seeing the long crater behind Malmijal, I was insulted.

It was swallowing up everything that passed by that giant clan. It was expected that people would be able to escape at such a slow pace, otherwise the damage would have been endless.

“I can't believe I have to expect you to get out of the border.... ”

The man who lost his country!

His high pride was greatly wounded.

Turning his insides upside down, wanting to get out of the border quietly without taking care of the enemy who wiped out the land.

But there's really no way.

“Damn it.”

The commander spoke in a harsh voice at Mercy.

“What are the Swiss saying? ”

“I'll do my best to support you this way. The same goes for Italy. ”

“Rotten bastards. ”

When the French are being destroyed, they desperately try to stop them from crossing the border because they want to be in danger.

It's not that I don't know the feeling, but I couldn't help but boil.

“And!”

“Hmm?"

“We have support from Korea! ”

“Korea?”

The name Lee Hyuk came to mind in Mercy.

The hottest talent in the world right now.

The one who took out that damn monster in America in a heartbeat.

Literally the name that matched the last stage of humanity.

The information was used among the few, but he was fortunately one of the few, and he also knew that he had been asking for his support on all sorts of diplomatic channels ever since the monsters appeared in Paris.

It's just...

“Why come now! ”

Come back sooner if you want to show up.

Son of a bitch.

Now there is no doubt about its ability, so I can't say otherwise, but it was also true that I did not like it.

“The Asian. ”

“I think that's offensive, isn't it? ”

“Hmm?"

Xavier looks left and right, looking for a place where he heard a sound.

“Above your head! ”

“Hmm?”

Xavier raises his head and sees some people falling down.

What is it?

Did he jump?

Xavier gazes silently at those who jump out of the air without any equipment.

After all, these gifted people simply go beyond common sense.

One of the few Asians who appeared, the most shy one, approaches, trimming the clothesline, and extends out his hand.

“Jeong-hoon Choi from NDF, South Korea. ”

“Commander in Mercy. You speak French.”

“In Europe, French is a fundamental skill. ”

“I hope your personality is as sweet as your tongue. ”

“Of course.”

What a mouth-watering man.

Besides, it's pretty delicate.

“Jung-hoon Choi, Jung-hoon Choi.... ”

Then I've heard of it a few times.

The fact that he listens to the scene means he's a big deal.

But that's not what Xavier was interested in.

“Who?”

“Ah……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon immediately understood Xavier's words and pointed to one side.

“This is Lee Lee Hyuk. ”

“… him? ”

As soon as I got down on Xavier's eyes, I noticed a child who was squatting like a nuisance and smoking heavily.

I'm still out of the country, but what are those slippers and trainers?

‘The Italians will see the bubbles. ’

The power of a country that cares about fashion, even if it's not Italy who lives and dies in fashion.

When I saw the appearance of Lee Ji-hyuk in mercy, I sighed.

“You mean Lee Hyuk, the kid we asked for and asked for? ”

“Shh, I'll listen. ”

“You won't understand French anyway. He doesn't look smart, no matter how smart he is. ”

“I don't know what it means, but I know what it means. I'm more than just a ghost. ”

Obviously, the weeds are going to fall back.

But…….

Xavier winked at Lee Hyuk.

What is it?

“How old did he say he was? ”

“Your date of birth is now in your early 20s. ”

“Is it real?”

“You look too young, don't you? ”

“No, that's not it…. ”

In mercy, I felt something else in Lee Hyuk's image.

Eyes that sink deep.

A feeling of companionship.

Although he now lives the Commander's life at mercy, he has not been a commander from the beginning, and he smells like a comrade who has risked his life on the battlefield of many countries.

At that age? ’

No, what I felt in Lee Hyuk was more than that.

That's the atmosphere that Lee Hyuk can never have at that age.

Stability and experience from the commander who led him in the first battle and insulted him.

That's what I'm feeling in a blue child right now.

‘My eyes can't be wrong. ’

I wish I was old, but I can't.

He trusted his eyes with mercy.

“Hmm?"

Xavier slowly approached Lee Hyuk while looking at him.

Choi Jung-hoon looked at the situation with a tense eye.

I can't stop that old man, so I can only hope that Lee Hyuk won't get into an accident.

It's overwhelming.

Xavier glanced at Lee Hyuk, who was crouching. He raised his hand to salute him.

“Welcome to France. ”

It was simple in France, but Lee Ji-hyuk couldn't understand.

As soon as Choi Jung-hoon was about to interpret in a hurry, Lee Hyuk threw a door cigarette on the floor and woke up.

“Huh?"

Then, you look down slightly in a respectful manner.

“I'm Lee Hyuk.”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon lost his words for a moment.

I swear, this is the first time that man has shown such common sense.

The two grabbed hands, smiling lightly.

“Interpreter.”

“Yes!”

Javier opens his mouth first as Choi Jeong-hoon hurriedly approaches.

“You've come a long way. We couldn't help but ask for Lee Hyuk's support. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded his head when Choi Jung-hoon translated for him.

“Leave it to me.”

... What's wrong with you, Human?

Choi Jung-hoon grabbed onto the complicated head.

He's not human.

What's he up to?

As Xavier explained some operational situations and returned to his post, Choi Jung-hoon asked.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Yes?”

“What's the matter, all of a sudden? ”

“What?”

“You don't usually do that. You're being so polite... ”

“Ah……. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“You have to treat them. ”

“What are you talking about……. ”

“You don't have to tell me anyway. ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk quietly looked at Xavier.

Human life is short and meaningless.

Lee Hyuk is a person who knows that better than anyone.

Everyone he met in Beraf tried to accomplish something, but in the end, he was hit by the Wheel of History and forgotten and disappeared.

He who left his name was actually a mere mortal, and those who should never disappear disappeared disappeared without leaving their name because they were pressed before the power of history.

Only a hundred years.

In the course of time, the hundred years were too short.

But then again, there were more radiant people. People who do their best not with resonance, but with their own firmness.

Some say they are foolish, and some say they are foolish, but they never waver, and they do their work silently.

Lee Hyuk respected those kinds of people.

He can never do it.

Such people came to mind in Lee Hyuk's head.

“Belton.”

“Yes?”

“… No. ”

When Lee Hyuk was struggling to become stronger.

A man who fought to the very end and died fighting with his eyes on the destruction of the kingdom.

A man who wouldn't let a single person through until his body had been removed from the palace gate.

"You look alike."

The atmosphere is similar, not the appearance.

A man like that deserves respect.

“Lee Hyuk is strangely friendly with soldiers. ”

“I see.”

And Colonel Jung In-soo.

Maybe it's better to be with the military than with the power.

Lee Hyuk was also a wizard, but he was also the strongest commander who led the monster army.

When I was living with Humans, I used to be the commander of the army.

“There's no time to be sentimental. ”

“That's right.”

Lee Hyuk frowned as he slowly looked at the giant horses approaching them from afar.

I've never seen you before. ’

Even on other dimensions, whether there were humans or monsters, life had its own similarities.

But the monster in front of me was the kind that Lee Hyuk had never seen before.

I don't know what kind of traits they have, so I should be careful....

Do you want me to call in an army? ’

Although it would be most convenient to push the monster squad through the search, it was not to say that the mental damage taken in the last U.S. incident was fully recovered.

“Hmm……. ”

But it's also a little problematic to push other talents in.

“Here.”

“Hmm?”

Choi Jung-hoon put out the electronic pad in front of Lee Ji-hyuk.

“This is a recording. ”

“Hoho?”

I knew he was... smart.

In Lee Hyuk's eyes, there was a video of monsters engaging with the French powers.

You can see monsters swinging black liquids from side to side as they attack all of their colorful abilities.

“Acid?”

The acid spills out all around you, searing the floor.

“Nothing special. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded his head and handed the pad back to Choi Jung-hoon.

“That shouldn't be too difficult. ”

Because it doesn't fit.

It was Lee Hyuk's favorite style to deal with.

Reason?

It's very simple.

Slow burst!

The slower types that were able to cast their spells at a distance to Lee Hyuk, the key to the battle, were merely meals.

So...

“Step aside.”

Let's make this simple.

From both hands of Lee Hyuk, a black Mana begins to gush out of the rope.

As Mana flows from both hands into the air like smoke, she begins to create a giant magic circle.

At that moment.

“Huh?"

Lee Hyuk lowered his head to the strange senses of his legs.

“Huh?"

Something popped out of the floor and wrapped around Lee Yi Hyuk's leg.

It's like... What is that?

“Tentacles?”

Yeah, it's like a tentacle.

Like that tentacle on the end.

Hahahaha...

“Rotten.”

Immediately, Lee Hyuk's body was sucked into the ground at an incredible speed.

“Aaahhhh!”

“Lee Hyuk! ”

The screams of the startled people echo around you.
