The Returner

“Major transfer magic, you've done something you've never heard of. ”

A frightening look flashed across Barbacce's face.

This was not a matter of destruction. Lee Hyuk, a human being, did what even the Demon Kings couldn't do.

The reverence for Lee Ji-hyuk, who had never reached the limit as a human being, and the half of his magical power was exceeded by the devil, but it was always a matter of destruction.

Lee Hyuk, who had access to infinite magical power, was able to operate more magical power without restriction than the Demon Monarchs, and in return he was able to perform more destructive power than the Demon Monarchs.

But this was a matter of another dimension.

Even Barbatch was unable to pick and send his allies on a large scale, where he and his enemies were mixed.

‘My understanding of space is the strongest in history. ’

Even Barbados, who didn't want to acknowledge Lee Hyuk, was astonished.

'I must say it's impressive. ’

Barbacce saw Lee Hyuk gasping hard.

That little creature did something like this.

Even now, he had lost all the magical and immortal powers he could use indefinitely.

They merely performed this miraculous sign through the existence of man.

So how could I not admit it?

Barbace groans.

“If you hadn't lost your magic, you wouldn't be lacking against me. What a pity. ”

Choi Jung-hoon was overwhelmed by the presence of the Demon King.

‘I'm not kidding. ’

It wasn't just strong.

I've never seen a Demon King before. I fought, and I beat some of them.

Nevertheless, the Demon King was still afraid. Just looking at it from afar is enough to numb the poppy.

But…….

Barbacee was different.

It was not something that could be expressed simply by saying that it was fearful and strong.

Parent presence.

I've never felt like that as a human being.

In every way, there is a creature that is superior to itself.

In front of that overwhelming existence, Jung-hoon was exhausting all his strength just by not losing his mind.

“But what are you going to do? ”

The voice of Barbatch makes a mockery of you.

Lee Hyuk raised his head.

“Son of a bitch, you talk too much. ”

“Hehe hehe.”

“Why does the Demon King talk so much? Shouldn't you be hanging out like that? ”

Choi Jung-hoon's mind was clear.

Is that a self-criticism?

Lee Hyuk is also the Demon King, and Lee Hyuk is the best in terms of cheap mouths.

Compared to Lee Hyuk, Barbatch was a man who had no place to stay. But it's ridiculous to hear Yi Hyuk talk like that.

“It's a pity. Very much.”

“… what? ”

Barbatch said in a tone that he felt very sorry for you.

“It is unfortunate that I have come to acknowledge you now. This feeling, if I had felt this way before you lost your strength, I would have fought you. ”

“Fuck you.”

Lee Hyuk sat down and said softly.

“No, you're pretending to admit that I lost my powers. You were busy running when I had the strength? Isn't that right?”

“You know that's not true. ”

“What do I know? ”

He said that, but he also knew that even when he had power, Barbatch was never pushed by him.

If Lee Ji-hyuk had been slammed on the mantel until the end, he would have had to fight Barbacce too…… Unfortunately, or fortunately, Lee Hyuk was able to reach the core of the machinery before he left, so he no longer had a reason to stay on the mantle.

What if it wasn't?

‘Too bad.’

Lee Hyuk finished eating.

‘That's when I had to kill him. ’

If it had been in the past, we would have been able to fight Barbatch. I don't have any sense of winning, but at least a hundred million times better.

If he had killed Barbados back then, wouldn't he have been able to prevent the invasion of Mankind?

‘It always leaves me with regrets. ’

Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders and got up.

“Are you sure you don't want to join me? ”

“Well, that's a lot of bullshit. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

“You'd know that by now. I don't have much of a life left. A month at the most. But come now, I'll hold hands with you and enjoy some rich movies. ”

“I hope there's nothing we can do. ”

“Hey, Barbacce. ”

Lee Hyuk replied profusely.

“It shouldn't be strange to be the Demon King from the beginning, and to be the Demon to you from the beginning. But I'm human. If I'm going to be a Mage, that means I'm going to be completely different. ”

“You have your memories, you have your personality. ”

“It's not a memory that defines one person. ”

Lee Hyuk insisted.

“How do you ‘cope’ when something happens? Unless my current behavior as a Mage is the same, it can't be me. ”

“That's pretty philosophical. Human themes. ”

“Are you trying to say it's inferior? ”

“Is it your word for existentialism? Even if your tendency to change is better than death, I don't know why you choose death on purpose. In the end, I won't be able to understand humans. You guys are so irrational and impulsive. ”

“Because it's human. ”

Lee Hyuk stared at Barbados.

“That's why I'm going to die a human being. Any complaints?”

“A pity, rather than a complaint. ”

“Too bad?”

“Yes.”

Barbace quietly stared at Lee Hyuk.

“I've been staring down for so long. Because of his overwhelming sense of superiority, it's been too long to masturbate. All I have left now is boredom and loneliness. ”

“Are you lonely with the King of the Weed? ”

“You understand how lonely it is to have no identity. ”

“... I don't want to empathize with you. ”

“Heave-ho.”

Barbace nods for a moment before raising his head.

“The conversation is over. This is the end of your compassion, you ninety-ninth Demon King of Mado. It would be polite of me to take your breath away myself.... ”

Barbace smiles lightly. It was not a mockery, but a pure smile.

“Of course not. What you want is not recognition, but a childhood play with them. ”

“... You know me well. ”

“Yes. Then I'll give you the death you want. Thanks to you, I had fun for a long time, Lee Hyuk. ”

Barbace slowly turns around and turns back.

‘You can use Telpo. ’

I laughed because I wanted to see Barbados moving on foot. As for the Demon King, teleporting is much easier and less powerful than walking. It's hard to walk.

Are you saying you're going to save me a little bit more? I'm crying. ’

Lee Hyuk laughed.

“Lee Hyuk? ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders when Choi Jung-hoon called.

“Well, I tried my best... ”

Lee Hyuk looked around. The demons and other Demon Kings were approaching and waiting for him as he spoke.

“I can't do this anymore. ”

“… I think so. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

‘Too bad.’

I did the best I could. But doing your best isn't always a good outcome.

“Well done.”

“Well, don't pretend it's over. You have to struggle until the end. It's okay to lose, but I don't want you to win. ”

“Of course. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled.

‘If Lee Hyuk hadn't shown up, what would we have done now? ’

Perhaps humanity was wiped out in time.

Lee Hyuk made my life longer, and thanks to you...

‘I didn't know what to look like. ’

Is this something to be thankful for?

Choi Jung-hoon raised me up.

“What are you splitting up about? ”

Seo Ah-young opened her axe eyes.

“Do you laugh when you're all about to die? ”

“... I'm going to die anyway, do I need to cry? You have to be cool to die. ”

“What a strange personality. ”

“If they die crying, they'll love it. I'm not going to see that happen until the end. ”

“That's right. ”

As soon as Seo Ah-young tries to say something, Choi Jung-hoon interrupts her.

“Young.”

“Oh, baby? ”

“Well done.”

“… Yes. ”

Seo Ah-young sweeps her lips, blushing her face and lowering her head.

Lee Hyuk, who saw the scene, gave an honest impression.

“I play well. ”

“... Gosh, break the mood. ”

“Is it normal to find the atmosphere in this situation? People need to know how to cover their time and place. ”

“When and where are you looking? Now we're all gonna die. ”

“It's time to die, so I'm going to live like an animal. Excellent choice. ”

“Hnng.”

Choi Jung-hoon shakes his head.

Seeing me with Lee Hyuk, I feel nervous until the last moment.

“Anyway. ”

Choi Jung-hoon shrugs his shoulders and looks at the Demon Kings and the horses surrounding them.

“I'll make sure to sprinkle pepper on the way. until the moment of death. ”

“Well, that's also a good way……. ”

Lee Hyuk looked up at the sky.

“... Phew. ”

“What's the matter? ”

“Dying isn't easy either. ”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“How did your final rounds go? ”

“Of course.”

Barbatch nods with a serious nod.

“It is unfortunate to send him. I still don't feel good. ”

“You didn't hate him? ”

“I have to hate it. ”

Barbace said with a stiff face.

“He was the only one who could threaten my position. But in other words, he was the only one who could understand me. I never thought I'd be expecting this from another race, not the Horses. He did what you couldn't do. ”

“Hmm, you're finally getting a good look at Darling. ”

“Aren't you a pity? I'm done with Lee Hyuk. ”

“The end?”

Herkana grins.

“Hey, Barbacce. You know the biggest difference between you and Darling? ”

“… Difference? ”

Herkana nods.

“You've lived all those years making nothing but your men. The only thing he's got to do is surrender to your power. ”

“Do the Mages need more? ”

“Yeah. Maybe that's our limit. But Darling is different. Darling is human.”

“... What does that mean? ”

“Humans can make allies. Darling has a partner. A colleague who said he would protect Darling at all costs. ”

Immediately, Barbatch's eyes shake.

‘What, this Mana pulse? ’

The manas of the world begin to flutter.

“You'll see that now. ”
