The Returner

Woodtuck! Ow!

As the beast's flesh was sucked into Lee Hyuk, it became entangled and crushed. The beasts' bodies, which were twisted and pushed in, suddenly turned into a lump of black as if they had shattered the entire body, and then they began to coalesce together and begin to melt into black smoke.

No, Margie? ’

Watching this unseen situation, the eyes of the horses burst open. Lee Hyuk is making Margie by squeezing the horses.

“Why?”

The Demon Kings looked at Lee Hyuk with a face that they didn't understand.

How can you be so cruel when you've made them magic?

You're welcome.

It was not the demons who felt cruel about it. The reason they don't understand Lee Hyuk is because it's useless.

Even for them, impure Mana, created there for Lee Hyuk, who can use pure black magic all he wants, as the only one in the world, is worthless.

“Phew.”

Lee Hyuk sucks the dark red magic that flows into his fingertips.

“Yes, this is it. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“I guess I'm different from you guys. Yes. Humans have become Horses, but they can't be regular Horsemen. ”

Dark red Mana slowly begins to flow around Lee Hyuk. The magic that flows from your toes rises like a flame and swings like smoke.

The more I was sucked into the flesh of Lee Hyuk, the more red it became, and then I reconciled to a clear red color like blood.

Kuang!

Kuang!

As the horses were getting sucked, the Iron Golems who were still under Lee Hyuk's control fell to the ground, losing their light.

And…….

The only thing left was the barren ground.

The vast area where the horses were filling was desolate, as if nothing had ever happened from the beginning, and in the middle of that, the faded Iron Golems fell to their knees.

Like the ruins of a fallen civilization.

“... What the hell is going on? ”

Kim Da-hyun just had to look at it.

Everything that was happening now, every moment that was touching him, was out of his common sense and understanding.

Even though their destiny is together, where the fate of the world is twisting, they have to be just a bystander, turning their insides upside down.

‘It's different. ’

But there was nothing he could do but man.

Even when Lee Hyuk was human, they couldn't even help in the battle. But what can they do now that Lee Ji-hyuk is no longer human?

“So... ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu's ridiculous voice is heard.

“Did he tell us to hunt him down and kill him? ”

“I think so. ”

“Crazy bastard. ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu laughed as if it was crazy.

How?

The plan went wrong on the premise. Lee Hyuk has become strong enough to kill Barbace.How can they afford Lee Hyuk?

“You have to be reasonable. ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu shook her hand.

“You're not the kind of person who can't even calculate. ”

The one who answered was not Kim Da Hyun, but Alpha.

Alpha, who had just recovered, was looking at Lee Hyuk with an interesting face.

“I'm not kidding. ”

“... When did you get here? ”

“Just now. You're not back too late. That's a sight you have to see with your own eyes. What can I say... Hmm, it's kind of disgusting. ”

“What a filthy, accurate expression. ”

The alpha looked at Lee Hyuk as he grew taller. His mouth smiles, but his eyes do not smile a bit.

‘Wonderful.’

They don't seem to notice, but what they're seeing right now is the highest place life has ever reached in all of history.

The existence of Lee Ji-hyuk, who exceeded the limits of man as a human, has now become an incarnation of power.

“Jealous enough. ”

In terms of talent, Lee Hyuk and Alpha were not even the targets of comparison. No matter how strong Lee Hyuk is, he was confident that he would reach him someday. If you don't have enough time, increase your time, if you don't know how to do it, learn how to do it.

But at this moment, Alpha felt that the existence of Lee Hyuk had gone to a place he could not reach. Although you can't call that being Lee Hyuk who he used to know.

Alpha can never be as strong as Lee Hyuk, even if he becomes a Mage. Different understanding of magical power, different times experienced magical power. Even if he has the same time as Lee Ji-hyuk, if he doesn't get the biggest variable of Lee Ji-hyuk immortality, he won't be able to build the same Mana affinity as Lee Hyuk.

‘Irregular is exactly right. ’

Although Alpha is also assessed similarly by people, if it is expected that it is due to its talents and abilities, Lee Hyuk's curiosity is largely due to its visibility.

As if the world was determined to make him strong, all the conditions for him…….

"Wait?"

Alpha tilts his head.

"Is the world trying to make him strong? ’

The Alpha's glabella narrows extremely, as if you could feel something.

“Latrel……. ”

Diolet XII had no choice but to praise his god.

Even the Pope's half-doubted words were being fulfilled now.

It was only too much to say that the throne of destruction attached to Lee Hyuk. Power is not a threat just by being present. When it has will, it becomes a threat and a weapon.

The existence of Lee Hyuk, whom he watched, was not the one who would drive the world to ruin because he had great power.

As he absolutely obeyed Latrell and praised her, this alone had to be dubious.

But his god never gave him a worthless trust.

‘Have you seen this far? ’

He could tell.

In his eyes, living based on divinity and faith, he could feel how frightening Lee Hyuk had become.

If Lee Ji-hyuk was fearful before, but the reason he had to be afraid of Lee Ji-hyuk before was simply because his power could be destroyed, the reason he is now is completely different.

I can't feel it.

Human warmth.

No matter how evil a human being is, there is warmth in every corner that proves he is a human being.

However, I didn't feel any humanity at all for Lee Hyuk.

It was also different from the grim feeling of the Mage. The Lee Hyuk that Diore 12 was looking at was like a mineral.

I felt nothing, I felt nothing.

What would Lee Hyuk do to fill that empty void?

Those who have not filled themselves will eventually have to make one of two choices.

Either try to fill yourself, or... make everything else as incomplete as you are.

Yes, it is.

I can no longer call him Lee Hyuk.

That is literally a living incarnation of destruction. The surpassing name, the throne of destruction that was not understood by the history being preached and the faith of God, proved the reason now.

“… Latrel. ”

And in the face of the everlasting destruction that came, Dior XII couldn't help but weep for his god.

The sunset spreads in the sky.

The sunset in blood was so frightening and also so beautiful.

Like the destruction they're about to face.

“Hmm…. ”

Lee Hyuk's gaze slowly looks around him.

‘There seems to be no impulse. ’

There is a realization that the self has become a completely different being. The interesting thing is that consciousness is not the emotional part, but the rational part.

I thought that hatred for Humankind would boil at the moment I became a Mage, but ridiculously, he was not comfortable with the existence of human beings, such as hatred or anger.

All he felt was distance.

I don't know what to say.

“I can't explain it. ”

It is not a rational part to explain. It's like a drug addict who can't survive a day without drugs is sleeping one night, and then he feels violent refusal and vomiting, and then he's off the drug one night.

My head understands why I've been obsessed with drugs and what I've done to get my hands on them, and all of a sudden it feels like a stupid thing.

Yeah, that's a little confusing.

Maybe after a little while, the chaos will abate.

And…….

I had already known which direction the chaos would abate. Just as I expected before he turned out like this.

‘So before... ’

Lee Hyuk smiled and looked back at the horses.

One thing I think is that even though he became a Horseman, he didn't go any further than annoyed by those lowly horsemen.

Individuals called the Maaa are living independently and have no racial awareness of each other, so it was natural.

It would be unfortunate for them.

The blood that had been taken by the wagons was making his flesh tremble.

“What a funny joke. ”

If there is a destiny, I think it is very appropriate. His body was perfectly suited for dealing with black magic, but it was more suited to a more fundamental area.

Negative energy from death.

The source of black magic.

Ordinary magic can harness its power, but it cannot refine itself. Even if it is refined, it can only gain inferior and lesser power than the magical power produced by the Magic System by refining and circulating itself.

But Lee Hyuk can do it.

More efficiently than the horse system can do.

And that meant only one thing.

“The more you kill, the stronger you become. ”

Whether it's a human or a demon or any creature.

Lee Hyuk laughed.

The left hand of destruction...

That's a good one.

I thought that stupid Latrell had a nickname that wasn't funny, but maybe God is God.

He was not a man, but a man, and now a devil, but not a devil, will not be able to settle anywhere and will not be able to settle anywhere.

What if I am?

Everything in the world will be destroyed and made by his power. And then, one by one, it becomes a literal incarnation of destruction, devouring everything in the world and swallowing up new dimensions.

Lee Hyuk, who had sensed his fate, looked up at the sky with a slightly sad face.

However, his face was immediately bent downward, filled with a palpable sense of pleasure.

Lee Hyuk opened his mouth to the horses who touched his gaze.

“Here we go. ”

A war that will never end.
