The Returner

[525] 5. Bye, I'll be waiting (5)

There was no life in the eyes of those looking at the screen. It just explodes, explodes, and then dies.

I didn't want to see it, but nobody could take their eyes off the screen.

Christopher was clearly in charge.

This is the battle of humanity. It is unreasonable to keep ordinary people from seeing the moment their fate is decided because they see nothing.

That's why Christopher released all the battle scenes.

It may not seem appropriate for the general public, but everyone should know.

how much pressure those who are fighting on the front are going to endure. that they're alive because they're bleeding instead.

And everyone who was looking at the screen was feeling it.

The blood that was shed there was blood on their behalf.

Among those looking at the screen were those who hated the fact that they were uselessly taxed, and the reason that they were not the same person.

Even such people could not deny that they are now fighting for their lives.

“Mom... ”

Among those looking at the screen were Park Seon-Duk and Lee Ye-won.

“Yes."

Park Seon-Duk reached out and grabbed Lee Ye-won's hand.

This screen is not suitable for them to see. It was so shocking for those who couldn't even see the horror movie properly to see the screen where the demons were buzzing and bleeding.

Moreover, if it were a real situation, rather than a movie, who in the world would be able to confidently see it?

But I couldn't help but look.

It's in there.

Her son, her brother.

Their families, who refused to listen and withdrew, are now fighting blood to protect the destiny of mankind.

But how can I take my eyes off it?

“… I think I'm being pushed……. ”

Park Seon-deok gripped Lee Ye-won's hand in a groaning voice.

It is clear.

Humanity has been pushed unilaterally, even to those who know nothing.

“Is... is he going to be okay, Mom? ”

“It's going to be okay. ”

Park Seon-Duk resolutely said.

“Someone's kid. How did you raise him? He can't die in a place like that. My baby's not that weak. ”

“I'm not dying. ”

Kim Da-som, who was looking at the screen with cold eyes, muttered.

“You're not going to die. He's not gonna die like that. It's like... ”

Kim Da-som opened his eyes wide, trying to say something more. All of a sudden, the monsters rush back in unison. Even the Demon King and the Horsemen.

What's going on? ’

Thanks to Kim Da-hyun and a few battles together, she was unable to understand the movements of the sorcerers, even though she knew a little about the habits of monsters and beasts.

Once you start an attack, the ones that never show their back will be exhausted, even if they are exterminated.

Then why...

“Ah……. ”

Moaning came from the mouth of Kim Da-Som.

As the battlefield is cleared out, I start to see the back of a man standing in front of me alone.

“… Oppa. ”

“Jihyuk... ”

Moaning came from Lee Ye-won and Park Seon-Duk's mouths. Even if I can only see my back, how can I not know? I am a family because I can tell.

“Why, why are you doing this alone? ”

Park Seon-Duk's body began to tremble.

His son is always like that.

Reckless. I do what others do to dry things. Even though she told me that much.

Even if you fight, you can use others as shields to fight. That's exactly how you want to carry all your burdens.

“... I hope so. ”

Park Seon-Duk nods.

“That's my baby. ”

I'm worried about what I'm going to do. He said he would grow up and walk the right path, but it was not his job for parents to block his way by worrying about him.

Even though the inside of my watching is rotting behind me, it's my job to cheer quietly.

It was when Gimdasom was unable to control his trembling hands.

Whoo-hoo.

You hear something vibrating, and Jung-min reveals himself in front of her.

“Dasoma.”

“Sister!"

Kim Da-som grabbed Jung-min's hand, who urgently appeared.

“What's going on? ”

“We don't have enough healers. I need to borrow a cat's hand. Help me."

“Bye!”

Kim Da-Som stood up on his feet without hesitation. It would be a big help if she left, but she couldn't just suck her fingers here, hoping for her help.

And…….

‘We need to keep a closer watch. ’

Maybe she knows more about what kind of person Lee Hyuk is than Park Seon-Duk. Right now, Lee Hyuk is going to carry all the burdens and take on this situation by himself.

Then we have to keep an eye on him.

“Hae-min!"

“Yes, Mother. ”

Park Seon-Duk chewed his lips well.

“If I have a chance to tell Ji-hyuk.... ”

Jung Jung-min nodded her head when she heard Park Seon-Duk's words.

“Okay, I'll remember. ”

Jung Hae Min grabbed Kim Da-som's hand and bowed her head.

“Of course.”

As they disappeared, Park Seok-deok sighed deeply.

“Oh, I'm sure it's okay, Mom. ”

Park Seon-Duk was unable to answer. I just looked at my son's back as if it were a screen.

* * *

“Is this the last one?”

“That's right.”

“There's too much on that shoulder. ”

“Heavy, right?”

“Can we make any guesses? ”

Song Jing-soo sighed low.

If the ranking of the most important person in the world right now, I can't even imagine the burden of even Song Ji-hyuk, who would easily fit within ten fingers, would feel.

‘He's a survivor of it. ’

That's why it's Lee Hyuk.

Song Jeong-soo looked at Lee Hyuk's back. I felt so much on his back.

Suddenly, I thought it was strange that it was the world. The world always brings people together. Society is sustained by people, led by them, and humans have evolved to this point.

But when it comes to really defining moments, the flow of the world is focused on some people. The fate of the world changes depending on what decisions they make and what they do.

Like Napoleon, who ended the Russian expedition.

And now, Song Jeong-su is watching what has never been done before in human history. There was a man standing on two shoulders, holding the fate of mankind in his hands.

‘Wasn't my life bad? ’

Ever since I found out about Lee Hyuk, I've been doing my best to support Lee Hyuk. I still remember that choice is the best choice in his life.

And now, Lee Hyuk will prove it.

“You have to win at the end, Lee Hyuk. ”

Song Jeong-su gathered her hands in prayer for Lee Hyuk's construction to a god who does not exist.

* * *

“Here!”

Kim Da-hyun waved his hands violently looking at Jung Jeong-min and Kim Da-som who showed up.

“Dasom! Here! Over here!”

“Brother!"

“Hurry!”

Jung Hae Min took Kim Da-som's hand and ran. Kim Da-som also urgently headed to where Kim Da-hyun pointed. Yoon Hyuk-gyu, who had a hole in his stomach, was coughing up blood on his mouth.

“Hyuk-gyu! ”

When Jung Hae Min was frightened and screamed, Yoon Hyuk-gyu shook her hand.

“Oh, I won't... Glug. ”

Jung Jae-min's face darkened when she saw Yoon Hyuk-gyu who couldn't speak properly because of the blood. At the same time, Kim Da-som began pouring his heels into Yoon Hyuk-gyu's stomach without a word.

“What do you think?”

“It's a nasty wound, but it's not untreatable. He's not going to die. ”

“Really?"

“I'm not sure... but I'll be fine. You should be fine.”

A mere mortal would have died ten times already. I was alive because I was able, and I was able to expect recovery because I was able.

“Th-that's a relief. ”

Kim Da-hyun sat there as if he was relaxed.

Yoon Hyuk-gyu spit out the blood spilling out to the side of her throat as if she had to say something even though she looked like that, and then laughed.

“I might die... but I don't know if I'd like to be... alive right now." ”

“Do you want me to kill you in advance? ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu flinched when Kim da-hyun was really eager to grind the breads. There was nothing good about Kim Da-hyun's temper now that he could not resist even though he usually could.

‘This son of a bitch is a real pal. ’

Only two in the world. It was Yoon Hyuk-gyu who decided not to expect common sense from Lee Hyuk and Kim Da Hyun, or even Alpha there. When I think of the patient as unlikely, all the cold will fly away.

“... It's a bit pointless. ”

Kim Da-hyun stared at Lee Hyuk a little dazed.

“Wh-what? ”

“We worked hard, but this is the end. I've been thinking that even though we've struggled so hard, we can't help him in the end. After all, I think it's all I can do to watch from behind like this... ”

“That's not it. ”

Choi Jung-hoon approached them one day and said in a low voice.

“We've cut the power tremendously. They may look familiar, but there's at least three of them flying. So it's not that we haven't done something. ”

“… right? ”

“Lee Hyuk also waited until the end. Waiting for the enemy to lose any more power. So it's only now that you stepped up. ”

Kim Da Hyun nodded.

They all knew.

Lee Hyuk became unable to use Black Magic power anymore, but when the last moment came, he had no choice but to come back.

I feel heartbroken even though it was already known.

“Is it going to be okay?"

“I wanted to avoid it if I could... but I can't take any more risks now. ”

“Risk……. ”

Kim Da-hyun recalled the last conversation he had with Lee Hyuk before returning to this world.

“Kill him?”

“Yes."

“… of whom? ”

Everyone was staring at Lee Hyuk with a silly face.

“Me.”

Then Lee Hyuk raised his hand and pointed to himself.

“Oh, no, wait a minute. ”

Choi Jung-hoon was frightened and shouted.

“So... if you want the final moment to come based on what you've learned here, you want me to kill Lee Hyuk? ”

“Yes, exactly. ”

“That doesn't make any sense.... ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“This is a bit of an unexplainable problem, but in short... if you don't kill me, you're all dead. ”

“… Yes? ”

“Humanity will die. The Horsemen will die. It's more likely to be a disaster than the Horsemen. ”

“What if Lee Hyuk becomes a Mage? ”

“Yes. So we have to kill him before he sees that. ”

“… let's face it, it doesn't seem realistic. Can we kill Lee Ji-hyuk who lost his mind because we're all running? ”

“You raised him because it's basically hard, right? ”

Lee Hyuk pointed to Alpha.

Everyone's face distorted.
