The Returner

4. I just decided to go out once (5)

“Grrrgh!”

Lee Hyuk's body began to melt like a slime.

“I don't think so! ”

Roavelle shouts in an urgent tone.

But the appendage was determined. If we don't do it this way, we all die.

This world will perish, and Lee Ji-hyuk will die.

I had to gamble toward the slightest chance.

“Ji Hyuk! ”

Lee Hyuk could not answer.

It was no wonder the bronchial melter was unable to answer.

“Hang on! Hang in there! ”

You can't be fine with eardrums.

Lee Hyuk probably didn't hear what he was saying. So there's no need to say it.

I know.

It was impossible for her to do anything meaningless, a dragon whose rational thinking must be fundamental.

I would never have done it normally.

But the appendage had no choice but to shout.

Though he could not hear it in Lee Hyuk's ears, he had to shout with eagerness.

Lee Hyuk's head slowly lifts up.

Lee Hyuk, who had a horrible shape to melt all the skin, roared silently toward the sky.

And that moment.

Aaaaah!

The surrounding Mana and Divine Power are instantly sucked into Lee Hyuk's body.

“Ah!”

The appendage was elastic, watching the scene.

The sucked Mana quickly recovered Lee Hyuk's body.

Bones crack and muscles regenerate. A new bundle of nerves grows and the skin regains its place.

“Grrrgh!”

The vocal chords also made a sound to see if Lee Hyuk had found his true self again.

“Ah... ah... ”

Lee Hyuk, who was vomiting low depression, opened his eyes.

A joyful look fills the face of the appendage.

Lee Hyuk did something similar to gambling. I will survive.

However, the appendage was not entirely secure.

It may be that the body has returned, but we cannot be certain that the spirit has returned.

It is one of the common things that the spirit of those who have suffered excessively is greatly driven out.

Furthermore, Lee Hyuk, who had an immutable spirit in the past, was not sure what immunity would be like.

Appeldrich took a step to carefully examine Lee Yi Hyuk's face.

But I didn't have to.

It's because Lee Hyuk opened his mouth and started screaming before the appendage even approached.

“Aaahhhh!”

When Lee Hyuk started screaming, the expression of the appendage hardened.

‘No way... ’

Roavelle also looks at the appendage with a bad face.

I don't think so.

But there's nothing strange about it. I've been through that much pain over and over again, but it's even weirder that I'm sober.

“No! ”

At that moment, Lee Hyuk opened his eyes and reached forward.

Whoo-hoo!

A small gate was created right in front of Lee Hyuk's hand.

“Hmm?"

The appendage flaws and gazes at the scene.

What are you doing...

Whoo-hoo!

Soon, Kim Da-hyun, who had become scarred inside the gate, came out and spread out on the floor.

Lee Hyuk made a gate and pulled out Kim Da-hyun just before Del Karan's attack swallowed it.

“Heal!”

Although we don't know exactly what's going on, Apeldiche briefly noticed that Kim Da-hyun's details were also not good.

Roabel did not hesitate to spread his divine power to Kim Da-hyun.

“Phew……. ”

Meanwhile, Lee Hyuk's body leans forward.

The appendage reached out, but Lee Hyuk fell facedown without hesitation.

“Ji Hyuk! ”

Then a loud sound erupted.

“Ow! Ow! Ow! ”

“Phew……. ”

The appendage is dazed and stares at it.

Lee Ji-hyuk rolls the floor and quacks! I screamed.

“Oh my! I'm dying! It hurts! It really hurts! It's too much, really! ”

“ ……. ”

The expression on the appendage is subtle.

I think if I put a Meteor in that damn human's head, he'll come back to his senses...

“Ugh, I thought I was going to die. ”

Lee Hyuk shakes his head and looks around his body.

“I think it's all better. ”

“I'm sure it's all better. ”

“Oh, I have to sometimes. ”

“... Do you really want to die? ”

“That... sounds a little redundant. ”

Either you do this again and you die, or you kill me now.

Which one is it?

I didn't have the courage to ask.

You take your mouth off wrong and the hellfire gets hot.

Die?

Oh, man. Yeah, you could die.

“I almost died. ”

Lee Hyuk's eyes burned.

The second time I got sick, I went right before the real shock.

There's no coming back from the dead!

Lee Hyuk's eyes darted over Del Karan.

“That bastard……. ”

The cause of this pain is over there.

However, Del Karan's eyes, facing Lee Hyuk, were never favorable either.

“Rats! ”

Del Karan was angry that Lee Hyuk had taken out Kim Da Hyun.

“Eeehhhh!”

“Ha, shit, that snake is crazy, man. ”

Lee Hyuk slowly walked towards Del Karan.

“Ji Hyuk! ”

The appendage calls out in a worried voice, but Lee Hyuk shakes his head.

“It's time to take care of it. ”

The pupils of the appendage flutter.

What confidence?

If Lee Hyuk hadn't exhausted Mana with the previous attack, he wouldn't have dared to try this treatment.

Even though it's true that the treatment that Manaha was able to do was reduced, Lee Hyuk was only half the Manaha available now.

You can only do the same attack once a while ago.

And it has already been proven that the attack cannot be devastating.

But how can I trust Lee Hyuk to stand there?

“Support!”

“Yes.”

I don't know what Lee Hyuk believes.

But I know that Lee Hyuk is not doing it because he's crazy.

There is also a belief that Lee Hyuk will come up with something to do.

He's Lee Hyuk.

It's a doom.

Nothing. He just climbed to the top of the world with his own power.

Even in a situation like this, he must have found a way.

“You've recovered well? The human body will be uncomfortable. Even with that kind of reaction, it's a piece of mop. ”

“Hahaha.”

Delkaran's eyes narrow.

"Smile"?

In front of you?

Delkaran senses anger and wonder at the same time.

Lee Hyuk had already experienced that the attack did not work on him.

And yet you laugh?

You scared the hell out of me.

‘No way. ’

Lee Hyuk wouldn't do that to anyone else.

No matter how weak the trend seems, the name of the ninety-ninth Demon King is a waste.

And what do they believe in?

“... I don't know what you're thinking. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at Del Karan quietly and opened his mouth.

“You don't know?”

“Yes. What do you think? ”

“You're asking about the crumbs. The first thing I think about... ”

Lee Hyuk's superiority extends to one side.

Rrrrrrrr.

The ground vibrates.

When the debris piled up on the floor came to mind, a man's body hovered and flew to Lee Hyuk.

“Hmm……. ”

Park Seong-chan's body was broken, which was hard to imagine.

Lee Hyuk carefully examined the dinner and flew it to Roabel.

“Alive. Heal!”

“… Yes. ”

Lee Hyuk sharpened his teeth badly.

If it wasn't for Park Seong-chan....

If it wasn't for Park Seong-chan, who was the most defensive member of the NDF, ten more would have died.

I should be thankful that I was breathing at all.

“I guess I don't have to tell you what my second thought is. ”

“Heave-ho.”

Del Karan bursts into laughter. The head of the snake trembles.

“Are you going to fight me? ”

“Well, yeah. ”

“Even if it failed already? ”

“Well, that's complicated... ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“I have one life now, don't I? ”

“... Are there two lives? ”

“Anyway, listen. I have one life now. It made people a little more cautious. What I would have done to make you feel better in the past. 'What if something bad happens when I do this?' I heard the idea first so I couldn't do what I had to do. Who knew Ji-hyuk in the world would become a coward? ”

Delkaran's eyes widen.

What the hell is he talking about?

“I used to be able to go the best way without worrying about the risks, but now I have to consider the risks first. That's why I didn't choose the best. It was stupid. I could have killed you if I was tough. I could've taken you with me. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“I know you're not an idiot either.... ”

Lee Hyuk's eyes slowly began to sink.

“Once already, the Demon King invaded this world. ”

Del Karan stares at Lee Hyuk silently.

“That means we can invade twice. I knew that no matter how long it took, the second Demon King could pass. Then I ask you, what would you do in that situation? ”

“... Prepare. ”

“Bingo.”

Lee Hyuk clapped his hands.

“As expected of the Demon King. She's smart.”

“I mean, you knew I was coming, and you already had a contingency plan, right? ”

“Tell me one and I'll know ten. Clever. As expected of the Demon King. ”

Delkaran grits his teeth with that sarcastic tone.

“You speak well of the subject that almost died. If you had a plan, why didn't you just write it down? ”

“I told you, I regretted it. You won't regret it now, so don't worry. ”

“So you can see it now, or is it your move? ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

I just had to laugh.

It seems that stupid Demon King thinks Lee Hyuk is bluffing.

How dare you.

“Delkaran.”

“ ……. ”

“Remember, who I am. ”

I'm starting to get nervous by Del Karan's complexion.

One word from Lee Hyuk reminded me of what he had forgotten.

I did.

What's in front of his eyes is Lee Hyuk.

Ninety-ninth Demon King, left to perish in Beraf.

No matter how weak he is, the worst Demon King in the history of the world is right in front of him, who knows when and what he will do.

“You've forgotten me, too. ”

It wasn't my power you were afraid of me for.

Power is just one of the components that make up me.

Even if I lose my strength, I am me.

We'll have to prove it.

“I'm going to die anyway... ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and raised his arms.

“You'd better be careful. ”

I don't know what's gonna happen anymore.

But I do know one.

This is the first area I've ever been to, but the aftermath won't be so bad.

“I was just about to go out. ”

At that moment, a storm of magi appeared from Lee Ji-hyuk's body.
