The Returner

“Hmm……. ”

Barbatch sighs low, gazing into the battlefield.

“What a shame you didn't bring liquor. The best dish ever laid bare before my eyes. Don't you think, Herkana? ”

Herkana does not have an answer.

“Why can't I enjoy it? Why can't the Demon King enjoy this? ”

“Are you still complaining about what you want? ”

Herkana's voice is fierce.

“What you want is for me to suffer from this sight. That wasn't your purpose, was it? Do I have to say congratulations for achieving my goal? You son of a bitch. ”

Barbace grins.

“You are no longer the Horseman. ”

“I never thought I'd be more than a horse or two. ”

“Your eternal life and its power come from being a Mage. And yet you deny being a Mage? ”

“How can I be happy that I'm a Mage when you're the Mage? ”

“Am I the problem? ”

“No. The Mages are the problem. ”

Herkana spoke ferociously.

“Do you know why you don't kill me and just hold me captive? ”

“Isn't that affectionate? ”

“Don't bullshit me. It's just ownership. You are the devil, and you are the purest of them all. The only emotion you feel for me is the rage that one of your loot is twisted. You're not trying to bring me back, you're just trying to make me suffer. ”

“Maybe so. No, exactly. ”

Barbacce's voice is slightly excited.

“So how are you feeling? ”

“As you wish, you're filthy. Congratulations. You won the fight here. ”

Barbacce doesn't answer. And Hercanada didn't wait for his answer.

“You don't seem pleased. ”

“You're welcome. I'm sure I'm just waiting for the right moment to enjoy this. ”

Barbace turns his head and looks at Herkana and dies.

“Because I know this is not the moment you truly regret. The moment Lee Hyuk dies at my hands will be the greatest punishment for betraying us. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's funny, though, that the punishment for the Horsemen is to kill humans. ”

“You're a good liar. ”

Herkana's voice was unbelievable. Herkana whispers in a quiet voice, not angry.

“You can't kill Darling. ”

“Everyone seems to be mistaken from before, but I could always kill him. However, the damage I had to endure by killing him was not great. It's worth the damage right now. There's bigger prey all around. ”

Barbace laughs in his mouth.

“And even if Lee Hyuk was hostile to me in the first place, would he be able to come before me? Through there?"

Barbados points to the warring Demon Kings.

“This is not the barn where we were scattered. How many times has Lee Hyuk fought the Demon King at the same time? Three or five at most? That's the only thing you've ever faced that comes right through me? Then I should compliment you. You'll get your head in return. ”

“You won't need any more useless words. Darling won't be able to stop until this is all over. You'll realize that now. What it means to be his enemy. ”

“Heave-ho.”

Barbatch smiles and says.

“You don't look so good for that. You look like you're about to cry about the Demon King. Isn't it because you anticipate the fate of Lee Hyuk? ”

“That's right."

Herkana admitted it.

“But that's not because of you. If Darling chooses to fight here, Darling's end is fixed. That's why I'm sad. ”

“That's enough jokes. ”

Barbace turns his head.

“Let's check. Whether he's willing to do the same. ”

Barbase slowly rises to her feet as she walks between the beast and the humans and looks at Lee Hyuk approaching her. Then I walked forward as if to meet him.

Lee Hyuk was giving Barbache a little glamour. In the middle of the fiercely coveting battlefield, Lee Hyuk looked very helpless.

Whether he felt such energy, the nearby Demon King and the Horsemen did not rush to Lee Hyuk. Like the people who were here but also did not exist, Lee Hyuk reached the front of Barbacce without drawing everyone's attention.

‘What a strange thing to do. ’

Nothing surprising. Lee Hyuk always surprised him.

“Looking for a place to die? ”

Lee Hyuk rolled up his mouth.

I don't know if I know what I did or got it... but I can't think of a better way to describe Lee Yi Hyuk's position than I am right now.

Just one thing.

“Come on now. I'm not looking for a place to die, you idiot. ”

I've been looking for you for over a thousand years.

Where to die, where to die.

The reason for learning dark magic, going into the barn, and going to war with the rest of Beraf was to die. To find a place to die.

‘Human... No, I'm contradictory. ’

Lee Hyuk smiled lightly.

After thousands of years of searching for a place to die, I felt uneasy about death when I found a place where I could. I acted like I could die at any time, but I could not easily break the sense of life that I did not know when it was born.

‘That's why it's funny. ’

Even though they've always wanted rest, they're afraid of it because of stupidity. It seemed to have a hatred for life.

“So this is the grave you found? ”

“Yes."

Lee Hyuk nodded softly.

“You'll never find a better place to die. ”

According to Lee Hyuk, Barbase looked around.

“Clearly. ”

This was the darkest place of death. Humans and horses, and even similar humans and dragons... there were many deaths.

There can be no better place than here because of the death of the bored human being, Lee Hyuk. The throne piled up with corpses is probably the best way to explain the throne of destruction.

“I see. But.... ”

Barbace quietly looked at Lee Hyuk and asked.

“I think I want something. ”

Otherwise, the person who had already decided to fight would not have come here and talked to him.

“Are you still willing to kneel before me? But I think it's too late. ”

“Ah, that's a good thing... but I don't know if you're a human being, but if a human being lives like this, his joints will never grow. I can't bend my knee. What do I do? ”

Then Lee Hyuk raised his middle finger.

“Oh, I can't bend my fingers. This is why you have to die when you get old. ”

Barbace shakes his head as Lee Hyuk shakes his head.

“Looks like you've still got room for jokes after all. I thought mortals didn't accept death. ”

“So is the Demon King. You have no idea how whining the dead Demon Kings are in my hands, but you'd understand if that were the case. Your obsession with life is much worse than yours. Well, there wasn't one. ”

“Enough bluffing. Say what you have to say. ”

“Take the reinforcements. ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

“It's hard to find and kill, so I'll sweep them all away at once. Get them all in the back. I'll take care of it myself. ”

“Why should I listen to that? ”

“The prank is that if you confront me and listen to everything, you will be able to win, and the reality is that if they mix and run, I'll end up chasing after you alone. You're afraid, and you'd rather I fight with the others than face you directly. Am I wrong? ”

“Heave-ho.”

Barbatch shines his eyes.

“Did you really think I'd be able to face you on my own if I told you that? Humans use a system of impenetrable disruption. Come on, I'll give you what you want. Deal with it. ”

“Yeah. Um, yeah. Thank you for that.”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

‘Why do they believe they're smart? ’

There was a difference between being intelligent and being wise. They don't understand human irrational behavior. Reasonably, Lee Hyuk would benefit from winning a battle with Barbacea, but Lee Hyuk had no intention of doing so.

Even if he wins, what does it mean if all those who guard his back die?

It was Lee Hyuk who believed that the life of one person involved was more important than everyone else's. If everyone here dies in exchange for protecting the rest of humanity, the victory won't be the only loss.

“Stand down.”

With Barbatch shouting, the Demon King and his horsemen, who were pushing the human army, stopped and began to retreat with a dazzling move.

Even those who were desperate to attack the situation suddenly put their hands on it and stared at it dumbfounded.

“What, what? ”

Seo Ah-young looked forward with a puzzled face.

In her eyes, she saw Lee Hyuk in blue training clothes.

It's strange.

Seo Ah-young didn't like that person. Humanly, I never liked him. Although Seo Ah-young's personality was different, she often collided with Lee Yi Hyuk more often, even those who said they had a good personality did not really like Lee Hyeok.

Humanly speaking, that person is a failure.

But it's funny...

Looking at my back gives me some relief.

‘I'm intrigued.'

Seo Ah Young smiled.

Nothing more desperate than this. No matter how much I think about it, there is no way to stop them. Nevertheless, we can convince Yoon Hyuk-gyu that we are not defeated until that man is defeated.

Seo Ah-young sat down.

Then I looked at Lee Hyuk's back quietly.

In the meantime, there are things that have not been felt.

That back.

How much time did Lee Hyuk spend in agony to have me, etc., leading to the belief of so many people?

It felt like he had become accustomed to the pain and frustration he had experienced during that long time, just to ending it with the word 'reliable.’

Lee Hyuk looks around, with his back slightly bent.

If we could implement the word despair in the world, there would be no more appropriate situation.

A legion of Black Horsemen spread out to the ends of the horizon with dozens of unstoppable Demon Kings.

It was hilarious to be the enemy.

“Well, not all the time. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

It always has been.

Even when I fell into Beraf in the body of a powerless commoner, all he did was reckless and senseless things. However, there is Lee Hyuk now because he does not give in and keeps rushing.

“Well, then…. ”

Lee Hyuk turned his head to the left and to the right.

“Shall we begin? ”
