The Returner

“Heave-ho.”

It's fun.

Pleasant.

The things that were stiff-headed with their own sheep heads were embarrassed, and they shouted and shouted and acted out, and they were coming so joyfully to Lee Hyuk.

It's not just because I became a heterosexual being.

Lee Hyuk used to be like that.

He was the one who ridiculed and laughed at other beings and felt his presence.

Not then, not now.

He was more pitiful than the creatures he laughed at.

Lee Hyuk grinned and began to grin his teeth.

Hate.

I hate it.

All living things.

Everything in the world is hateless.

Lee Hyuk didn't even know where this anger came from.

Either the Maestro became just an angry creature, or his build-up of inner rage erupted out of control.

But it didn't matter.

Why should I refrain?

If anger is inflicted, then anger is enough.

Why do I have to calm the rage?

He had nothing left to lose.

Even if it destroys something other than him as a result of his anger, even if the target of that destruction turns around and becomes him, Lee Ji-hyuk won't blink.

He wasn't human anymore.

Can I do that? ’

It felt strange.

He remembered everything.

how anxious he was when he was human, how much he wanted to come back here, and how anxious he was when he came back to this world.

‘I don't think it's weird. ’

Although he pretended to be nothing, Lee Hyuk... No, Lee Hyuk knew better than anyone how terrifying it was that other dimensional monsters were pouring into this world.

And when I finally reached into this world, I remember how desperate I was.

‘I don't understand. ’

Lee Hyuk, who was judged by his memory, had nothing to fear from the outside world, but was deceived. No matter what happened, I was afraid that it would lead to the destruction of this world, and that it would be because of me.

It was something that I couldn't understand with Lee Hyeok. It doesn't make a difference. Painful doesn't make it any better.

And the most intense will that Lee Hyuk remembers.

I have to protect this world, my family, my friends.

“Heave-ho.”

Lee Hyuk laughed.

How so?

You fool.

No creature understands each other. I just assumed it would be. But the stupid thing to do, to sacrifice yourself to protect other beings, is to get Danny to the stupid end.

It was a strange sensation.

I knew and understood the feelings about what Lee Hyuk was trying to protect, and why Lee Hyuk was trying to protect them so much while vomiting blood, but I couldn't empathize at all.

It would have been easier to understand if it had been different again. However, the memories of Lee Hyuk repeating behavior that he did not understand, one by one, now brought disgust and nausea to him.

If he were alive, it would be impulsive to see his face after tearing apart what he was trying to protect.

“Fool……. ”

Lee Hyuk, who had darkened his eyes, started laughing badly.

Let's start with the Horsemen in front of us.

I don't know if it's because of the effects of Lee Yi Hyuk's past, but the most hateful beings to him now were those no matter what anyone said.

Next is this world. We leave nothing behind.

No, I think it's best to leave one. It would also be delicious to enjoy the despair that you have to live alone in a completely ruined world.

And then Beraf.

And…….

The dimensions he knows, the life he knows, will not leave a single creature behind. If we destroy, destroy and absorb it like that, Lee Hyuk will become stronger and stronger than he is now.

At a level that even a newcomer can't touch.

Then…….

And then what do we do?

What to do after you've smashed, killed, and killed. If there's nothing left to kill and nothing to destroy, what should we do?

You don't have to worry about it already.

That's when you have to think about it. All we had to do now was find a place to unleash this feverish rage.

I'm dying.

Mayhem, the Horsemen, and even the Demon Lord.

It was dying because of the endless feeding of the gatherers. without leaving a single cell in the world.

Watching the scene, Lee Hyuk rolled up his mouth.

Even Lee Hyuk, who had an immortal body in the past, only came back to life when he fell into that world. It was possible to come back to life after being eaten and eaten.

If he were mortal, he would never have made it back, even if he were ten times stronger.

He could barely escape because his arms and legs were torn off and his back was cut off. Even if he had an immortal body, he would never have been able to escape.

If it's eaten by a regenerating tribe, it won't be worth regenerating. I don't know if the Anglers will ever eat him up and be satisfied, but those Anglers weren't satisfied.

And that fear is now being felt by the Horsemen...

Hmm?

Lee Hyuk slightly turned his head.

I feel an uncomfortable look in my eyes.

The way you look at him.

Lee Hyuk's head turned around.

“A dragon?”

Aphedrice stares at him dazed.

And her gaze was slightly different from that of others.

Unlike others who couldn't breathe and looked at him with fear and awe, I felt a strange feeling of sadness and compassion in Apeldice.

Compassion?

Lee Hyuk laughed. He had to laugh.

That insignificant creature is now looking at himself with compassionate eyes.

‘Fool.’

It was the same as before.

As the world hates and watches over him, the lizard alone looks at him differently. In the past, Lee Hyuk sometimes found it comforting.

They never understood each other, but as time went on, there was a strange bond of empathy between them.

“Hmm……. ”

I smiled at Lee Hyuk's mouth.

Then there was one thing he had to do now.

Lee Hyuk's body disappears from the spot, and reappears right in front of the appendage. Appeldrich winces at Lee Hyuk who suddenly appeared in front of him.

But that's it.

Aphedrice also looked at Lee Hyuk with deep golden eyes, and never retreated or fled.

“How does it feel? ”

“ ……. ”

“How do you feel when you look at me now? ”

Lee Hyuk rolled up his mouth.

Lee Hyuk laughed a lot like that. Mocking. Mocking.

Appeldrich did not like Lee Hyuk's smile. The smile was not wrong, but the smile was mixed with Lee Hyuk's favors, who took his position lightly.

However, I could not find any such trace in Lee Hyuk's smile.

The fact that you have the same smile with the same face and feel completely different means that there is probably not even a little bit of Lee Hyuk left in this.

I felt one of my breasts tingle, even though I had already known about the appendage. The feeling of sadness, which a dragon can never feel, was shaking her at will.

But there's no need to be sad.

This crazy-ass devil, who took over Lee Hyuk's body instead of Lee Hyuk, won't even let them go.

“How do you feel?" I asked. ”

The appendage smiled.

You can't be as weak as him. If anyone else has taken over the body of Lee Hyuk, not Lee Hyuk, he will never surrender even if his soul disappears.

“Clown.”

“... Clown? ”

“What's not mine is a clown dressed like a razor. ”

Lee Hyuk's eyes sparkled.

“You said it wasn't mine? ”

“Yes."

Lee Hyuk laughed.

“Hey, Apeldiche. ”

Lee Hyuk opened his arms.

“I don't know if I'm Lee Hyuk from the past, but I can't say I'm completely different from Lee Hyuk. I'm Lee Hyuk and another monster born by Lee Hyuk. ”

“ ……. ”

“I have so much time in my head with you, are you going to tell me that I'm not Lee Hyuk? ”

“It is not a memory that defines man. ”

“ ……. ”

“What he said. as if a human being with amnesia was no different than before. I don't know if he's completely extinct or if he's watching me inside you. Maybe there's no way to know now. But whether he's alive or dead, he doesn't want you to think you're him. You're too cheap to call Lee Hyuk. ”

“Cheap?”

“Yes."

Appeldrich said as if to go with it.

“He was a troublemaker, a shaker. I don't know if you think he's pathetic, but he's Lee Hyuk because he's struggling and he's suffering from things he can't do. You're not just Yi Hyuk who knows how to wield power. I can't admit it. ”

“Well, that's too bad. ”

Lee Hyuk sticked out his tongue and licked his lips.

“I wondered what you would look like when you were torn to death by Lee Hyuk. ”

Lee Hyuk exclaimed, but the appendage did not shake at all. I looked at Lee Hyuk with provocative eyes and said clearly.

“You'd know if you had any memories. ”

“Hmm…? ”

“Whether I'm afraid to die or not. ”

Yi Hyuk flinches at the words of the appendage.

Definitely…….

This lizard had no obsession with life. It is not that we do not have the will to live, but that if we have to die, it is only natural that we should die.

“This is why dragons are no fun. ”

“I've heard a lot about you. But it's offensive coming out of your mouth. At least he thinks I'm a little more fun than you are now. ”

“Hehe, maybe that too. ”

As soon as Lee Hyuk raised his hand, there was a huge wavelength behind his back.

“Hmm?"

Lee Hyuk turns his head and looks back, and his red membrane is twisting roughly. Seeing that scene, Lee Hyuk smiled.

“I didn't think it would be that easy. ”

So... now what?

Should I finish these scumbags, or should I just kill what's in front of me?

“Lee Ji-hyuk...? ”

At that time, Choi Jung-hoon slowly approached Lee Hyuk.
