The Returner

“Lee, Lee Hyuk? ”

Alive.

Lee Hyuk is alive.

Just that, Jung-hoon will have to be happy. However, Choi Jung-hoon was not happy at all.

The red of Lee Hyuk... No, because I could feel the eyes shining in blood.

Something's different.

It's not just because his eyes have changed.

Slowly emitting cigarette smoke was quite different from that of Lee Hyuk whom he knew.

Lee Hyuk sometimes showed his depressed face, but he never showed such a worthless and disgusting face.

“Lee Hyuk? ”

Choi Jung-hoon's voice trembles.

I couldn't be happy that Lee Hyuk was alive. Even if Lee Hyuk's breath continues, what's in it is meaningless unless Lee Hyuk is what he knew so far.

I don't think so.

You can't be serious.

It wasn't Lee Hyuk who answered Choi Jeong-hoon's cry, but Barbache.

“How are you feeling? ”

Barbatch's face was filled with unprecedented pleasure.

Corrupting someone can be unparalleled.

As the leader of the human race and not the Maw, the only representative of the xenophiles who had threatened the Maacs was now making Barbach laugh.

“Phew.”

Lee Hyuk, who secretly emitted cigarette smoke, lifted his head and looked at Barbacce.

“I've never been so weak as a human. I can't imagine how you must feel right now. How does it feel to be in sync with Black Magic? I'm asking how it feels to be reborn as a new being, away from a weak human being. ”

Lee Hyuk secretly looked at Barbatch with an expressionless face.

Lee Hyuk, who spit the burned cigarette out of his mouth without answering, flicked his finger. Then, the cigarette in Choi Jung-hoon's pocket burst into the air, and flew to Lee Hyuk.

Lee Hyuk picked up a flying cigarette bag with one hand and took out a cigarette in it and asked him.

Tak.

Lee Hyuk, who flicked his finger and lit a cigarette, again sucked out the deep smoke and slowly let it out.

“That's a strange feeling. ”

The voice from Lee Hyuk's mouth was very low.

Choi Jung-hoon felt like his heart was pounding as soon as he heard that voice.

It was definitely the voice of Lee Hyuk.

However, it was different from the voice of Lee Hyuk who had come in so far. A scratchy voice was coming out naturally, mixed with iron.

Like proving that something has changed from the inside of Lee Hyuk.

“I don't think anything's changed. ”

Lee Hyuk slowly turned his head.

“It's a wonderful experience to see the same and feel the same, but feel completely different. ”

I felt Choi Jung-hoon's eyes met Lee Hyuk.

I had to feel it.

No, it's not.

This is not Lee Hyuk.

The interest that stares at him with ferocious eyes is not called Lee Hyuk.

He only looks like Lee Hyuk.

I don't know what to say, this feeling....

‘Barbacce.'

It was similar.

The extreme disparity that you feel when you look at Barbacce.

I was feeling it from Lee Hyuk right now. The horror and intimidation of the whole body just by looking at it.

“Ah……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon's eyes, who understood what Lee Hyuk's eyes meant, were filled with despair.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

At that moment.

Whoo-hoo!

The Appeldrich, who teleported right back, grabs Jung-hoon's shoulder and casts the teleport again to spread the distance.

Barbace is dead when he sees it.

“What? Still not convinced?" You could have killed as many people as you wanted, but you still have feelings for your human days? ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk turned his head and looked at Barbatch.

Lee Hyuk's mouth, which slowly emitted cigarette smoke, twisted strangely.

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“What……? ”

“When a bug flies in front of you, there are different ways to deal with it. Some people are just trying to catch it, and some people are just throwing their hands out. ”

“Hiic, bugs.... That's a pretty good one. ”

“That's why I'm thinking about it. ”

I have a slight question on Barbatch's face.

“How do you plan on tearing the worm to pieces? ”

Lee Hyuk slowly raised his body.

“Apeldry Che? ”

Aphedrice heals Choi Jing-hun's legs without saying anything and pours his heels on him.

“Don't tell me. He's not feeling very well. ”

“Lee, Lee Hyuk……. ”

The reaction of the appendicite was not too cold.

“He's gone. ”

“… Yes? ”

Choi Jung-hoon's eyes trembled.

It was Apeldiche who valued Lee Ji-hyuk more than anyone else here. Didn't even her heart ache when she looked at Lee Hyuk?

But now the eyes of the appendage are as hard as armor.

“Just because you use your body like you used to, doesn't mean you're the same person. That's not the Lee Yi Hyuk Choi Jung-hoon knew until now. It's the worst disaster that's ever come that way. ”

“Ha, but! He knew me! Me!”

“A little later, Choi Jung-hoon would have been torn to shreds. Choi Jung-hoon doesn't mean anything to me anymore. They're just people. ”

“… No……. ”

I already know that.

I've heard it over and over and over again.

But I couldn't admit it. I didn't want to admit it. The existence of Lee Ji-hyuk, who had just breathed into that flesh, disappeared completely. How can we admit that a completely different horseman occupied that body?

There must be some way to reverse possession or Yi Hyuk if the spirit of the Demon tribe has been suppressed and sealed, but what Appeldrich is saying right now means the complete annihilation of Lee Hyuk.

“You can come back, right? ”

“ ……. ”

“How to defeat them! Then!”

“Jung-hoon Choi. ”

“ ……. ”

It was as if the voice of the expressionless appendage had already answered.

“Don't forget what Lee Hyuk said. He anticipated it would come. And there must be something I've been asking you. ”

Choi Jung-hoon's lips trembled.

I know.

I know.

“It's the best we can do to make sure he doesn't destroy the world. It's just... ”

A groaning sound comes from the appendage.

“…… if possible. ”

Her eyes start to fill with anxiety.

“You don't mean me, do you? ”

Barbace asked with a little laughter, but Lee Hyuk was still a cold face.

“Why shouldn't I? ”

“Heave-ho.”

Barbace smiles joyfully.

“I understand, I understand. ”

Barbarch nods his head and opens his arms.

“You're being reborn as an infinite possibility without the constraints of being human. So you have to have a lot of confidence in the power you feel in your body. I get it, I get it. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled at Barbace's reaction.

“No, I don't think you understand. ”

“ ……? ”

“If you have a head, you should know how to think. What's there to think about with that poor head? ”

Lee Hyuk robbed his hands.

“Remember, Barbacce. I was the one who trampled you even when I was a human. And now I'm a Mage. ”

Barbatch's face is slightly distorted by Lee Hyuk's words.

“It's hard to describe exactly what it's like to be a Mage. Should I call it a separation? ”

“Breakup?”

“Yes, I broke up with you before. I feel like I'm just looking at my life as a third party. That feeling, that you can understand, that you can feel, but don't cooperate with. I feel like I've been watching someone's life in a movie theater for a long time. That's why it's hard to judge. But one thing's for sure. ”

Lee Hyuk's mouth curled up strangely.

“It doesn't matter what I became. What matters is how strong I've become. I can't imagine how devastating this endless magical power that flows through the flesh can be. ”

Your fingernails come out of Barbatch's hands.

His tongue licks his parched lips.

This feeling that resonates with his heart should be called ‘anticipation.' It was also hard to imagine how strong Lee Ji-hyuk had become.

One thing's for sure.

Even though those who became the Demon in the human body could not escape the rank of the lowest Horse, even the lowest Horse is tens of times stronger than the best among humans.

Of course, Lee Hyuk is a person who dealt with black magic so much that he can't do that efficiently compared to a normal human…….

‘Even so, you will be strong beyond compare. ’

Barbatch's heart trembles.

Perhaps there is an adversary of his who has not existed since he was born.

Either way.

Even if he becomes a complete Horseman and leads the Magic Kingdom with him, it would be nice to meet him, and even if he becomes a Horseman, he can be hostile because he has hatred for him.

The former will gain allies, and the latter will gain enemies.

Either way, it was a joy he had never had.

“So what do you want to say? ”

“We'll have to test it. ”

“Test?”

Lee Hyuk giggled and laughed.

“It's foolish not to test the hardest sandbag in the world. Don't die so easily, Barbacce. If you die so easily, I will suffer the same pain as you. Hold on to your teeth. ”

At the same time, a black Margie appeared from Lee Hyuk's body.

“Oh…. ”

Barbacce's eyes dart into excitement.

Different.

Unlike Lee Hyuk so far.

The way Lee Hyuk used Black Magic Power was through the passageway of the flesh, and now he was refining it in the flesh like a horse.

No, not "like the Devil."

He's a Mage!

“Hehehe, yeah. All right, all right. I'll take as much as you want!”

Barbatch gives Margie a half-mad glance. Marci, who rode around in his flesh, soared into the sky and created the great Maggi Vortex.

Kuaaaaaa!

Lee Hyuk, who was pouring smoke in front of Margie's vortex, seemed to tear the world apart, looked so small.

However, Lee Hyuk's eyes were determined... and cruel.

“You don't understand. ”

Lee Hyuk's superiority slowly extended forward.

“Then let me know. With that body. ”

Lee Hyuk, who revealed his teeth like an animal, charged forward and plunged into Margie's vortex, which Barbacee created.
