The Returner

2. It will start now (4)

Lee Hyuk fell into a void, looking at the millions of monsters that were in front of him.

‘The pinnacle of power……. ’

Conquers Beraf by using creatures that surpass Humankind like a pawn.

I never thought it would be very difficult.

He's already done the same thing in the Magic Cube.

It deals with endless monsters and breaks out the vertices of the world called the Demon King one by one.

No one has ever accomplished such a feat as a human being, and there will never be.

However, Lee Hyuk didn't feel that it was great.

"Are you human?"

I did?

Can one who does not die be considered human?

Lee Hyuk revealed his teeth and laughed.

Humans have been afraid of the undead. In the West it was revered by the name Highlander, and in the East it was revered by the name Immotal.

By simply not dying without other abilities, humans treated them as something other than humans. So if the people of the world where he lives now saw themselves, would they accept Lee Ji-hyuk as a human being?

I don't want to be crazy. ’

Confusion of identity.

What defines the existence of man?

Is it you or someone else?

If we acknowledge that we can not be called human, but believe that we are human, can we be called human?

Lee Hyuk thought it was a never-ending dilemma. In fact, I've lived for thousands of years and still have no answers.

Like the mathematicians who went crazy after solving an unresolved problem, Lee Hyuk should have gone mad early, but his body did not allow Lee Hyuk to go mad.

It's funny.

I realized that the soul exists and understood that the soul is most important to man, but when the body is regenerated, the soul is regenerated.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Lee Hyuk raised his head as he listened to the low howling of monsters.

He snatches off Rob's long hat and grunts as well.

“Sweep.”

Just one word.

Not a word.

But the impact that that one word brought was enormous.

Monsters roar in unison, revealing their horrors and charging.

“Hmph.”

I know that the place where those monsters are headed is where the Humans are gathering. Perhaps there will be another great slaughter with this single charge.

‘Silly.’

It is well known in modern times how devastating the existence of religious madmen is. However, there were many humans who hung themselves from the existence of God enough to make such contemporary fanatics seem charming.

I have to.

Even in a world that was not sacred, it was impossible to blame the people who lived in a world where sacred power and miraculous signs existed for believing in God.

However, Lee Hyuk didn't like what he looked like.

‘Things that are not human. ’

Even though they know that they are going to die, it may be only humankind can do it. Even the most monstrous thing about giving your life for God is that you are a human being.

But that's why it's not human.

The unknown man is evolving on his own. Lee Hyuk thought so.

The difference between monkeys and humans is progress.

When humans were primitive, humans and monkeys would have been no different. However, humans have evolved and evolved, finally building civilizations and making science.

In only a few thousand years.

But the humans here have been there for tens of thousands of years. Instead of standing alone as a man, he put his trust in God and entrusted everything to God, and he became stuck.

It was the same now.

Lee Hyuk never even tried to antagonize them.

I just said move.

Latrel's Eye.

It was the sole purpose of Lee Hyuk.

That's why they threatened me.

I talked to him.

And I was intimidated.

You convinced me that if I opened the road to Derra Latrell, no one would get hurt.

Nevertheless, nobody retreats.

“Idiot.”

If human traits are evolving, then human strength is rational. It would be beneficial for anyone to just clear the way for a while and turn away. However, the religious madmen risked their lives and rushed to Lee Hyuk.

Feb.

The belief that death leads to Latrell's arms has lost their minds.

Lee Hyuk felt sorry and disgust for them at the same time.

Even though they were the same humans, they were unaware of how great they were, and they felt sorry for humans who felt sorry for reptiles and other things, but they hated humans who turned all that pain away in the name of faith.

“Not human. ”

Humans who have lost their identity can no longer be called humans. Lee Hyuk thought so.

What stops you from seeing is something else in a human hood.

Just because it looks like a human being, it can't be a human being.

Yeah, it is.

Just like Lee Hyuk.

“Chuckle.”

Being born as a human does not mean that Lee Hyuk is a human being, but it was not possible for them to stop him now. They were just things that were human.

This is where Abigail, who pretends to be human and who dies and kills each other, is happening.

“Chuckle.”

Lee Hyuk smiled madly.

‘You must be crazy. ’

He's lucid, but who knows?

It's playing, but where is the basis for determining how different he was from the first and now?

Maybe he's already crazy.

No, he's probably already crazy.

Otherwise, you won't have a choice but to lead the monsters and slaughter the humans.

I'm not going to do this crazy thing by brainwashing myself of human beings who are clearly not human.

Lee Hyuk chuckled.

The smile and saliva from his neck shake him.

“Kill.”

Those who stand in the way.

Those who stop them.

Kill and clear a path to Derra Latrell. The way back to Earth is right there.

If he asks if the road to his hometown is worth dying for right now, I'll answer.

"Yes."

It doesn't matter if you become a great demon. Even if I became a killer, even if I became the worst selfish person in history, it had nothing to do with Lee Hyuk.

It would be better to be a demon a hundred times and a thousand times better to live in a place like this hell alone for a thousand, 10,000, billion, and billions of years.

So...

“Kill.”

Lee Hyuk's eyes were covered with red blood.

I'll kill you again and again. Kill him again and again and return to his world.

For that one purpose, Lee Hyuk went forward and forwards.

“Ahhhh!”

“Rrrrgh!”

“Latrel……. ”

Soldiers die of course.

Humans couldn't have survived stopping the monster's army. Even though the humans here had powers unlike modern humans, they were powerless in front of the power that Lee Hyuk had built up for thousands of years.

And humans, not soldiers, die.

Monsters storm the town beyond the walls.

Lee Hyuk looked at the scene with his own eyes. Even the non-resistant humans are swept away.

Adults, children, men, women.

A large army of monsters charged with a fair death sentence on everything in front of them, regardless of age and gender.

Lee Hyuk did not rush to follow behind.

“Ahhhh!”

Occasionally, there was a human who pierced the monster and reached out to him.

People who are superhumans or warriors, if you think about it in human terms.

These are great beings who were born human and transcend human limits.

But it ends the same.

Mana, who was bounced off her fingertips, shreds what she had just called a human without leaving a single cell behind.

Lee Hyuk, who was looking at the scene with an unconscious eye, walked forward again with a little emptiness.

Blood, and debris.

That was all that remained of where he passed.

Suddenly, many people started calling him 'the bringer of destruction.'

It's funny.

He never wanted the end of this world.

What he wanted was for him to disappear from this world.

If he was afraid of the destruction he would summon, all he had to do was give Latrel's eyes and say, "Get out of here." He brings his fearful body to the great cause of faith and rushes for martyrdom.

No human contradiction is as obvious as this.

Lee Hyuk stepped on human blood and went forward.

We're almost to Derra Latrell.

“ ……. ”

When I open my eyes, I'm not always used to it.

After confirming that the feeling is a subtle air on another earth, you realize that being here is not a dream.

“Good morning? ”

“... I had a good dream. ”

“Not a nightmare? ”

“It was a pleasant dream. ”

If what was in front of me wasn't the most memorable existence on Earth, I would feel a little better.

Appeldrich strokes Lee Hyuk's cheek.

“He was screaming. ”

“It must have been cheerful.”

“How's the cold sweat?”

“Maybe it's hot. ”

Aefeldrice's eyes saddened Lee Hyuk's death.

“Don't look at me like that. Even if the things I killed were dragons, not humans, would you be able to see me with the same eyes now? I feel the urge to exterminate the dragon race because I don't want to see those eyes. ”

“You know how individualistic we are and still say that? ”

“Different races are never uncomfortable. My concept doesn't make any sense. ”

The existence of dragons was not as united as the individual species. There is no special affection even among parents and children.

Therefore, the appendage will never understand Lee Ji-hyuk.

“I had no choice. ”

“Who said that? ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

Lee Hyuk looks out the window, pushing off the appendage holding his head and raising himself up.

The sunshine was no different from Beraf's.

“If only it was as fast as it looked. ”

"A gentleman," you mean? ”

Lee Hyuk laughed and opened the door and went out.

“Don't wait up, it's my day off. ”

“Yes.”

Seeing Lee Hyuk going to take a shower, the appendage sighed low.

‘If only I had a little more time……. ’

It was unclear whether the collapse of the body was affecting the spirit of the chain or whether the interior that had been well hidden while the body was collapsing, but it was clear that the glass that was surrounding the existence of Lee Ji-hyuk was breaking.

“Just a little more……. ”

Her voice was void.
