The Returner

5. Hey, turtle head (5)

Lee Hyuk entered the house and caught his breath.

“Uweeeeeeeek!”

Lee Ji-hyuk, who collapsed to the ground, vomited dark red blood like a waterfall.

“Ugh…. My mom's gonna be pissed. ”

Lee Hyuk bounced his hand.

“Clean!”

A simple enchantment unfolds, and the blood scattered across the floor clears up.

“If there's nothing else I can do, I can live with a janitor. ”

I thought there would be some demand if I advertised it as' I will remove the dust in your house on a molecular basis’.

Woohoo.

At that moment, the space behind Lee Yi Hyuk appeared.

“It's against human etiquette to even ring the bell in someone else's house. ”

“This is our home, too. ”

“Oh, I did. ”

Lee Yi Hyuk joked nonsense, but the eyes of the appendage were fixed on the flesh of Lee Yi Hyuk.

‘It's serious.'

It was amazing to keep my figure intact. If this kind of damage is repeated every single battle, how much of it is left?

Although it is unprecedented, it is difficult to determine exactly how long Apeldice will take, no one will know that it will not take long.

The appendage bites Jigsy's lips.

“This way.”

She reached out and grabbed Lee Hyuk's arm and led him to the bedroom.

“Isn't it too hot in broad daylight? ”

“You want it?"

“I'm sorry."

As Lee Hyuk rolled his tail, the appendage sighed.

Even at this time, it was an advantage of Lee Hyuk to have the capacity to joke, but I was sometimes angry because I felt that I was too optimistic about the situation.

“I don't know why humans put words in their mouths that they don't even have in their hearts. ”

“Hmm.”

Well, I don't dislike it very much.

Lee Hyuk swallowed the words he wanted to protrude into his mouth and gently followed the appendage to the bedroom.

The appendage laying Lee Hyuk on the bed sits next to his head and slowly starts pushing Mana into his head.

“Ugh.”

Lee Hyuk's body trembles.

‘It's gonna hurt.'

If I choose the person who is most familiar with suffering throughout the dimension, Apeldiche will choose Yi Hyuk without hesitation. For many years, he was too used to suffering.

The person who was resistant to the agony of pulling out his nails and sticking an awl in it, not even blinking an eye, was now trembling and enduring the agony.

‘For what. ’

The excessive operation of black magic has broken the shields on her side of the brain.

Pushing away the dark magic that feeds on her brain and filling her Mana again.

The collision of black magic and white horsepower in the flesh and rushing through the interior is accompanied by more pain than any other torture.

But I can't help it.

If you let it go like this, Lee Hyuk won't last a day and will become a Horseman.

It was the only thing on Earth worth stopping.

“Hold on.”

Lee Hyuk didn't answer.

He clenched his fist so tightly that his fingernails dug through his fist and drenched the bed with blood.

Whoo-hoo.

Mana is constantly pushed into Lee Hyuk's head. The face of the appendage was also turning pale.

A world without Mana.

The relationship between the Magic System and Dimension has led to a certain amount of non-Black Magical Manawa that could be used by the Appledrite… but it is nothing compared to Beraf, the sea of Mana.

That's why it was a tremendous burden on Apeldiche.

After pushing the black magic that was full of Lee Ji-hyuk's head and pushing a bunch of innocent Mana into the shield, the appendrite stroked Lee Ji-hyuk's head with a heavy expression.

‘You won't last much longer. ’

If time goes on like this, the world will have to witness the true coming of the Demon King.

Sadness was born in the eyes of the appendage.

After being dried up in another dimension with a human body and suffering indefinitely, I'm finally back in my original world, and it ends up being a Horseman.

‘I'm glad there is no God in this world. ’

If there was a God in this world, then perhaps Apeldiche would have cried out in front of it.

Isn't that too harsh for your creature?

She also could not be completely proud of Lee Hyuk, but at least she was confident that everything she was trying to do came from goodwill for Lee Hyuk.

“What are you really going to do? ”

Lee Hyuk hardly opened his eyes.

“Let's not repeat the same thing. ”

“… the person I know as you is not someone who spends his time unannounced. Weren't you the one who was struggling to get back in that desperate situation? ”

“Did you?”

“Even when you were weaker than the mortals of Beraf, you resisted me constantly. It's not like you to be mad and yelling at me for ripping my throat out. ”

“That was insane.”

Lee Hyuk shakes his head.

I can't believe you just said that to a dragon.

I wonder if his brain was really regenerating.

“You saved my life. ”

“... I couldn't kill him. ”

Lee Hyuk closed his eyes for a moment because of the deep anger that he felt in his speech.

From the point of view of Eifeldrice, it would have looked like an ant yelling, "I'm going to kill you."

An ant can only kill one person with a million, but a human can't handle a dragon with a million. Especially if you're not capable of anything, like Yi Hyuk at the time.

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

“Hey, Apeldiche. ”

“Yes.”

“I have a question, but I can answer it now, right? ”

“Go ahead.”

“Why did you take care of me? ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk said as if he didn't understand.

“Like you said, I'm not gonna die. You don't get into an accident anywhere just by letting it go. Then why did you take me in? But I didn't let him get away with it. Why?”

“I told you, it was his order. ”

Lee Hyuk frowned.

“Latrell, that bitch told you to protect me? ”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Lee Hyuk couldn't understand.

You are immortal.

Don't die, don't change. A lump of rock is weathered, but it does not change at all.

Then why protect yourself?

“You are irregular in our world. Each and every one of your actions makes a huge difference to the world. If you were a little smarter and you could make a gun there, the history of the world would be different. ”

“Is that an insult? ”

“… but the knowledge you possessed was more than you could ever imagine and threatened us. Besides, you had an infinite amount of time to bring that knowledge to life. So for the good of it, it's protected, and for the bad of it, locked up. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at the appendage with a strange look.

“That's not all, is it? ”

“ ……. ”

“A dragon cannot lie. But I don't have to tell you the whole truth. Right?"

“Yes.”

Aefeldrice nodded softly, and Lee Hyuk stood up.

“I have nothing to say to hide until this happens. ”

The appendage gazes at Lee Yi Hyuk with strange sadness.

“Well, never mind. That's not the point. ”

Lee Hyuk froze his face, looking at the appendix.

“Now let's talk about something really important, Apeldice. ”

“Go ahead.”

Lee Hyuk solemnly said.

“Do you know how to close a dimensional door? ”

* * *

“Hmm……. ”

The man looked at the monitor with very interesting eyes. His eyes caught a glimpse of the world in ruins.

“Slow burst. ”

I've been summoning the Demon Kings into this world, but I can't believe they're pulling their time off like this.

I hesitated that the world would perish too soon, but unfortunately, the Demon Kings were neither as fast nor as violent as he thought.

“Well, it's not bad for us. Right?"

“... I don't know what's not so bad. I think it's as bad as your head. ”

Jung Minsung stared at the man and died.

“That's good enough. ”

But the man, Alpha, was relaxed by the death of his politeness.

“Tsk.”

The alpha squats down, irritated by his indifference.

“What are you going to do? ”

“What do you mean? ”

“What are you going to do with the world? We can survive the recognition of our work, but if we waste any more time like this, we're all going to die. But that doesn't give us a certain status in the marketplace. It's not enough to be a pet of the Horses. ”

“Don't worry about it. From that aesthetic over there, we look pretty gross. ”

“That's not what I meant. Are your ears rotten?”

“Hehe hehe.”

Alpha shrugs.

“Planning is pointless. All plans meet variables. So it's important to do it and see. ”

“I hope the words and behaviors match. ”

Jung Minsung sighed.

We spent a long time together, but to him, the Alpha was an unknown being. I had no idea what was in his head.

Nevertheless, he had no choice but to trust Alpha. He always relieved all doubts as a result. The alpha is not idly chattering about the plan, but at the end, the one who makes it convincing.

So there's got to be something else planned.

‘But I hope the plan isn't too late.... ’

If I had known this was what it meant to open the door to the kingdom, my politeness would have dried up the alpha. If he couldn't stop it, he would at least try not to cooperate.

Even though he is under Alpha control, he can move to ruin his plans during the time of his free will.

Jung Minsung distorted his face as he looked at the monitor Alpha was watching.

“Hey, Alpha. ”

“Hmm?"

“You told me you'd show me a new world. ”

“Of course.”

“Surely that new world isn't the one where all men perish? If you wanted to see that, you wouldn't have just let me go to the horse system, which is a very convenient way to go. ”

“... You're smart. I should have told you that story sooner. ”

“You rotten human! ”

When the Alpha played a prank to the end, the politeness rose to its feet. Then Alpha shook his hand.

“Don't get excited. ”

Alpha slowly rises from its place.

“A world without man can't mean anything. I wouldn't want that. ”

“ ……. ”

“Wait. Regeneration means destruction precedes destruction. In the end, there's no doubt that we're the ones who have the world to ourselves. Everything eventually flows in order. Kuhahahaha!”

Seeing the alfa smiling strangely, the two pupils of politeness began to be weak in fear.

There was a flame here to burn the world to the ground.
