4. No, why are you running away? (3)
Appeldrich slowly approached Lee Hyuk.
“What! What! ”
Lee Hyuk felt anxious and slowly retreated.
“Humans have many different ways of expressing affection. ”
“... Can you not tell me that you've never seen a Human here before? ”
“It's not the first time I've seen you here, but I have a feeling that the humans of Beraf and the humans here are something different. ”
That's right.
That's why Lee Hyuk was unable to connect with the human beings in Beraf until the end.
“Beraf's Humans are blind. But the humans here are free. And it's very interesting to know that being an unbound human being can evolve to this extent. ”
“These are the results of your rotten gods. ”
“Maybe so. ”
“Hoho, you would have gone on a rampage of blasphemy back in the day. ”
“He's not here. ”
“Rotten Latrel? ”
“That's blasphemous. But I must admit, there are certain parts of you that are true. Human science was amazing, just like you said. I thought you were bluffing. ”
“What, you lizard? ”
Aphedrice smiles and gives Lee Hyuk a slight look.
“Can I finish my conversation? ”
“Huh?”
What's wrong with him?
After Lee Ji-hyuk stepped back, Appeldrich once again approached Lee Hyuk.
“Well, well! Why?”
“Didn't I tell you I'm interested in the expression of human affection? ”
“Why should I do that to you? ”
“The first reason is because you have to pay me. ”
“Knng, what's the second? ”
“The second is, do you like me enough to express affection to me? ”
“Don't you dare! ”
Lizards look over humans!
“Did I say something wrong?” I did! Of course I did!
What do you mean, I like you enough? You have to be reasonable!
“You're still one of the three I want to kill the most. Don't you get it?”
“You're human, but you don't know human emotions. Hate and affection are not inversely proportional. You hate me more than anyone, but you also like me. ”
“What the hell is that? ”
The appendage shakes its head in horror.
“Humans say they don't know their own emotions, and they're right. ”
“Where do you hear that? Just a game to meet! ”
“Who am I, Ji-hyuk? ”
“Lizards?”
The appendicite's shoulders sag.
“You can call me Lord Appledrice! ”
“You said you're not Lord. ”
“Oh, right? ”
Lee Hyuk glanced at the appendage.
He's been in human form the whole time, and his head's gone soft?
“Sounds good. So what if there was no second reason, just the first reason? ”
“Of course it is not possible. ”
Lee Hyuk insisted.
“It's light, very light. ”
“It's not light. ”
Aphedrice chuckles.
“Come on, like you never did before. I know all about it. ”
“It's not the first time that matters. ”
“Haven't you done it often with heterogeneous livers? ”
“I'm not.”
Aphedrice chuckles and turns away.
“So you don't like it? ”
“Of course!”
“Well, a little... hurt? ”
“How can the steel of a dragon be so shaken? ”
“That's how big the wound is, right? ”
“... Ha, that bastard's mouth. ”
“Another word in your mouth. You know how to say you're interested? ”
“Ow!”
As Lee Hyuk raised his fist, Appeldrich smiled and took a step back.
“I'm just kidding, that's all. I'd like to see how far Black Magic has gone. ”
“When I fall asleep, don't you always play with it? ”
“Then you're awake. So I haven't been able to. ”
“Hmm……. ”
Lee Hyuk nodded and said.
“Okay, I'll do it when this is over. ”
“It's okay to go ahead. ”
“I'll do it when I'm done. ”
“If you say so.”
The appendage smiles softly.
As Lee Hyuk smiled and walked ahead, Apeldrich quietly followed behind him. Her eyes were on Lee Ji-hyuk's back.
You're not afraid, are you?
You.
“Ahhhh!”
Seo Ah-young screamed.
“I'm gonna kill you, I swear! ”
She trembles as she sees a giant slime-like creature rushing towards her.
A body that was dripping like jelly rushed towards Seo Ah-young, forcefully moving.
The flames of her hands envelop the slime. The slime flutters, and a stream of green water gushes out.
“Ahhhh!”
Seo-young, who distorted her beautiful face, spit out her elongation and let out a flame.
“Get lost! Get lost! ”
The flame flutters as if alive, but the flame weakens noticeably with every contact with the stream of water released by the slime.
Seo Ah-young gripped her teeth and kept throwing out sparks. My legs start to wiggle and my head starts to crack.
“Eeehhhh!”
Seo Ah-young's shout spread out.
“Huh?"
Lee Hyuk replied boldly.
Seo Ah-young's gaze returned.
Lee Hyuk glanced at her, smiling.
“Do you have time to look around? ”
“Aaahhhh! ”
“I was deaf. ”
Seo Ah-young stared at Lee Hyuk with chewing eyes.
“I told you not to look away. ”
It's different.
As soon as the eyes were distracted and the fire was weakened, the stream of water from the slime swallowed up the flame and swept over Ah-young.
“Gaaaaaah!”
With the power of strong water pressure, Ah-young flies like a man hit by a truck and falls to the ground.
Seo Ah-young, who once jumped off the ground, fell back to the ground.
Seo Young's face bites in despair as she sees the slime gradually approaching.
“Hehe.”
However, with Lee Hyuk shaking his hand once, the slime shivered back.
“Ugh…. ”
Seo Ah-young gives her strength to get up, but her body rejects the will and still lays her on the ground.
“Turn it off... loser. ”
“Hmm……. ”
Lee Hyuk approached Seo Ah-young and touched her head.
“Let's see……. ”
“You……. ”
Seo Ah Young trembles as her dark magic buries through her head.
Blood flows down from my lips as if I were enduring the pain.
“Ugh.”
Seo Ah-young sighed in agony, but Lee Hyuk did not stop shoving black magic into her head.
“Is this it? ”
Lee Hyuk, who had identified the limits she could accept, pulled out the Black Magic Power that was pushed in.
His eyes sank low.
‘Weak.’
At least Park Sung Chan was better. Seo Ah-young's acceptance of black magic was very small.
Of course I understand.
No matter how powerful a person may be, it was difficult for a normal human to accept the Black Horse power. If Lee Hyuk didn't have an infinitely renewable body, he would not have imagined that Black Magic Power would be accepted in the body.
Most Black Wizards draw Mana in from their contracted targets.
“Tsk.”
Lee Hyuk absorbed all the black magic left in Seo Ah-young's body, then got up from his seat and asked him for a cigarette.
‘This is going to take a while. ’
I know it's not easy, but it might take longer than I thought.
Lee Hyuk frowned at the gloom and turned on the lighter to light a cigarette.
Choi Jung-hoon's words were not wrong.
Even Yi Hyuk can't stop all the monsters that protrude like this.
No, it might be possible.
If we stop them as they move, and stop them again and again, we will eventually stop them.
However, unless Lee Hyuk is not a fever, not a bag, and a cloth, he cannot block all the places at the same time.
The place where Lee Hyuk didn't arrive in time will collapse. If it is repeated once or twice, the world will be destroyed and collapsed regardless of whether Lee Ji-hyuk stops it.
“Knng... ”
Protect the perimeter?
That's impossible.
Protecting a person means protecting that person's life.
In order to protect his current life, he must also protect what is given to him.
To protect the family, we have to protect the world.
In order to do that, Lee Hyuk should not be alone.
At least we need people to stop Lee Hyuk from arriving.
“I see Diolet I was a remarkable human being. ”
This invasion is nothing more than a group of monsters led by Lee Ji-hyuk from Beraf.
But Diolet I rallied and rallied against Lee Hyuk, even after the great invasion. I couldn't even dream of Lee Hyuk now.
“Even the Veravs were amazing. ”
To put it bluntly,
Then, Seo Ah-young got up from her seat with a screech.
“Ugh…. ”
Seo Ah-young's reading eyes turned towards Lee Hyuk.
Human responses are always the same.
Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue.
“In this case……. ”
“Huh?"
“Can you be strong? ”
“Hmm?"
Oh, aren't they all the same?
Lee Hyuk nodded, looking at Seo Ah-young's eyes.
There were people with those eyes.
People who climb at all costs.
Usually these are the types at the top of the world.
“Of course.”
Lee Hyuk nodded and Seo Ah-young gripped her teeth and nodded.
“But why do you want to be strong? ”
“Someday……. ”
Seo Ah-young looked at Lee Yi Hyuk's eyes and said.
“I'm going to put a fireball in your mouth. ”
“That's a great idea. ”
Lee Hyuk chuckled and nodded.
That's not the whole reason.
But it doesn't matter what the other reason is. He's a total pragmatist. It is good to be motivated to be strong for any reason.
“Do you enjoy bullying people? ”
“Huh?"
“You. ”
Lee Hyuk tilted his head.
Harassment?
“Well, unfortunately……. ”
Absolutely wrong.
“I'm a type who prefers killing to torturing people. I'm still helping out a lot. ”
“This?”
“What can I say? ”
Lee Hyuk looked at Seo Ah-young quietly.
Eyes.
Lee Ah-young's eyes sank so deep that it seemed like they were about to be sucked in.
Ah-young was stuck in front of the reality of Lee Ji-hyuk for the first time.
“Do you want to know the simplest way? ”
“ ……. ”
“Kill you all and turn you into undead. I can't say I'm a commander, but I'm pretty sure there won't be any more of me. Then you will become my soldiers who will not die. ”
Seo Ah-young couldn't understand everything he was saying.
But the horror within it was understandable enough.
‘That's why I hate this guy. ’
It can be playful indefinitely, but sometimes it becomes fearless indefinitely. It's like having two personalities in one person.
If the boundary is clear, it would be easier to confront. Seeing how easy it is to navigate back and forth between the boundaries, it's impossible to get a hold of it.
“And yet you're doing it the hard way. So why don't you thank me? ”
“Can I say something? ”
“Yes.”
“You're crazy. ”
“Yes, I know. ”
A long time ago.
Lee Hyuk's low smile penetrated Seo Ah-young's ear.
Seo Ah-young stared at Lee Hyuk who was smiling, raising his head.
‘Crazy.’
It was Seo Ah-young who felt even scarier today.
