The Returner
[526] 6. It must have been a long time for you too (1)
“Having this faith, I can't help but live up to my expectations. I will do my best to kill you. ”
“I'll kill you, you son of a bitch. ”
Yoon Hyuk-gyu stood in the way of Kim Da Hyun.
“Calm down.”
“No, that bastard……. ”
“Don't stop me. We're running out of time."
Kim Da-hyun said something, but it didn't make things any worse.
Yoon Hyuk-gyu turned back the conversation.
“Is that really necessary? ”
“If there was any other way, I would have chosen you. But what if it doesn't work? ”
Lee Hyuk replied boldly, but now his boldness weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
“Collapse is inevitable when empowered. There's half a chance. ”
Lee Hyuk slit his throat with his fingers.
“Die, or become a Mage. ”
“The Mages.... ”
Yoon Hyuk-gyu trembled.
“By the way, what exactly does it mean for Yi Hyuk to become a Mage? Being a demon doesn't erase your memory, and you can't think differently at all. ”
“Uh, well……. ”
Lee Hyuk began to worry. The problem is how to explain it.
“Mazonification is not a common phenomenon, so I can't say exactly what to do, but one thing's for sure. A creature transformed into a Horse cannot maintain its identity. ”
“What do you mean you can't keep it? ”
“Well, that's why... ”
Lee Hyuk pointed to himself.
“Let's say there's a replica of someone other than me here. The memory is intact.”
“Yes.”
“But he's got anger management issues. Do something to piss him off, get pissed off, and smash everyone around him. ”
“What's different? ”
“... Let's say there's a good guy. Don't tease me, heh heh heh heh. ”
“I understand. ”
Lee Hyuk's face became slightly uncomfortable.
“A person who starts from the same place has to change his mind, his interpretation of his memory, and the way he reacts to the same event. And since you have memories of the past, can you guarantee that this is the same person I am? ”
“I don't think so.”
Lee Hyuk nodded.
“Mazomization is simply a form of being that has both human flesh and thought and has all of that memory and becomes non-human. In addition, Mana's affinity rises, her physical strength is unmatched, and her ability to handle black magic is tens of times better. ”
Lee Hyuk nodded his head loudly, looking at everyone with a serious face.
“I'm a little embarrassed to say this with my own mouth, but I'm the most powerful mado in history. But it's a story of magic, and the ability to handle black magic is better than the Horsemen. So I'm a fraud that will never happen again in history.... ”
“Yes, I heard you. Next!”
“No! I'm not trying to talk you out of it. Why do you bother doing that when you're so good at what you do? ”
“This is the first time I've ever felt so unlucky in my life. ”
No matter what reaction came back around, Lee Hyuk was beaten. There was no reason not to tell the truth because it was true.
Being compassionate is something that someone who is sufficiently good at telling the truth and who does not want to be able to bear with other people's resentments. He didn't need humility because he could afford it.
“Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I'm still like this, but what if Mana's affinity goes up here and she handles Black Magic even better? ”
“… a disaster. ”
“That's it.”
Lee Hyuk concluded neatly.
“Once you get used to mazomization, it'll all be over in a moment of hostility to humanity. Besides, I wouldn't look so pretty on a horse in my nature. Well, almost... ”
Lee Hyuk scratched his head.
“Besides, Erkana says it's just a matter of being a demon and being a human being being being a demon. We don't have many cases like that because we can't accept Black Magical Power to become a Horseman, but we haven't lived together as a single species so far. ”
“Side effects? ”
“No. He's crazy. ”
“… what are you talking about? ”
“Usually the children of the Maestro are faithful to my desires, but people tend to hide their desires, so they often become insensitive to the same Maestro after becoming a Maestro. That's why most of them are removed. Well, I mean... ”
Seo Ah-young groaned.
“I'm still a lunatic.... ”
“I hate to admit it, but that's it. ”
Lee Hyuk shrugged.
“Well, the calmer the self-assessment, the better. By the way, the reason I became a Horseman is because of the horsepower. This is definitely a death flag. You know what I'm saying? So if you see spots that turn into horses, or if you think they've turned into horses, cut their throats before they adapt to the flesh. ”
Lee Hyuk seemed to be talking about someone else.
“Is Lee Hyuk okay with that? ”
Lee Hyuk gave Kim Da-hyun a glance while quietly asking.
“Do you think it'll be okay? ”
* * *
‘It can't be okay. ’
Who can take their own death lightly?
There are times when you know how to die, and there are times when you can die knowing how to die.
But there's no guarantee that it's the right thing to do.
If he's human, if he's human.
How does Lee Hyuk feel right now?
As Kim Da-hyun, you will feel like you have nothing to feel for life.
Barbase, who was bitten all the troops behind him, quietly stared at Lee Hyuk.
“What do you think of history? ”
“History?"
“Yes, history. ”
“What are you talking about? ”
“Cook, Cook.”
Barbace shakes his head quietly.
“Was it too much to tell you intellectual stories? All right, let's get to the point. Humans seem to distinguish history from legend in an interesting way. ”
“Do you have proof or not? ”
“No.”
Barbace shakes his finger and says,
“What the army has achieved is historical, but what the individual has achieved has become legendary. If you want to live in history, you have to conquer the world, but if you want to live as a legend, you have to catch dragons. ”
“What are you talking about? ”
Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.
Those bastards look like idiots to me.
“Now you have an opportunity to become a legend. If your story can be told in the future, you will be remembered as a legend, not as history. A legend no one will believe. ”
“I've already crossed that line, you idiot. ”
“Really?"
Barbace nods.
“I'm sure it is. Human standards mean you're already out of reach. But... if there are no legends or histories left of Humans, nothing will change. ”
“You're so spacious. He cares about everything. No matter how badly I taste, I'm suicidal because I think it worries you, too. If you don't want to see me bite my tongue out of this before I start a fight, would you please get rid of that ugly face? ”
“Poor fellow. ”
“So get out of my sight. I have to get started, too. It's hard to stand up now. I told you, joints. ”
Barbatch shakes his head as he looks at Lee Hyuk with his finger raised in the middle.
I didn't do what I had to do to deal with that man.
“I wish you luck. To get in front of me. ”
“Good catch, Gao. ”
As Barbace left, Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.
“Come on, let's see. ”
Take a deep breath...
“I don't know if this is going to work. ”
It feels like it's been a long time since I've dealt with black magic, and I've tried to run the output in the grass....
‘Not since I've been back in the world. ’
At first, I couldn't do it because I couldn't, and now I can do it, but my body was broken and I couldn't do it.
For some reason, I felt like I was sealing my own abilities for some reason, but now that I think about it, I feel like I'm doing something right.
“Now, where……. ”
As Lee Hyuk turned his neck to the left and to the right, the faint sound of bone friction resounded.
“Hmm……. ”
Lee Hyuk looked forward.
I see horses all over his front. Perhaps the Demon Kings are hiding behind there.
No, not to hide, but to see the liver for now.
“Poor bastards. ”
No matter how strong Lee Hyuk is, he is a human being. I can't believe the Demon King is hiding behind the horses while dealing with Humans.
If you were, you shouldn't have said things that ignore Humans. Well, even if they think they're human.
By the way, you have to hit those horses first.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Oh, my gosh! ”
Suddenly, Lee Hyuk was frightened and looked back.
Diolet XII smiles and looks at him.
“What, you? ”
“I came here to bless you. ”
“Blessings on the Black Wizard! Are you crazy?"
“… right? ”
Diolet XII said with an awkward face.
“I know this doesn't make any sense, but it's a little awkward to just sit back and watch. Besides, seeing how you're going to deal with all those horses all by yourself... ”
“Alone?”
“Yes? I thought you were dealing with this alone? ”
“Are you alone? How many of them do I have to deal with alone? ”
“... I know that the Left Legion of Doom fought Beraf alone as a single-man army..." ”
“That's the story of when I have my own soldiers, and I have to fight alone. How can I fight alone? Run on my signal.”
“I understand.”
Lee Hyuk smiled as Diolet XII drooped behind her.
‘Well, at least fighting with people is better emotionally than fighting with horses. ’
Apart from whether it helps.
“Can I count on it? ”
Dior XII, who was backing away, asked me to be jealous.
“What?”
“Are all the legends that have been told about you true? ”
“I don't know what was said, but.... ”
Lee Hyuk shrugged.
“You won't be disappointed. ”
“Well, that's a relief. ”
Lucky?
Lucky?
Lee Hyuk laughed.
The Pope of Latrel is relieved of his strength. If Diolet I had seen this, she would have frozen in the afterlife.
‘The world is changing. ’
Their faith was said to be solid, but the secular feeling was stronger compared to those who stood in the way of Lee Ji-hyuk in the past. Is it because humans eventually graduated from God and had to walk their own path, or because Lee Hyuk proved that God is not omnipotent?
Either way.
I'll show you now.
If you look at it with your own eyes, you will not have any weak faith. They will see with their own eyes that the power above the gods can be possessed.
In Lee Hyuk's hands, Black Mana began to clump together.
