The Returner

[563] 4. I haven't failed yet (3)

Lee Hyuk opened his eyes.

“... even after that look. ”

His eyes spin around.

“It doesn't look as beautiful as all the things you risked your life to fight with me just now. It's not a joint venture. ”

Lee Hyuk's eyes turned to Choi Jung-hoon.

“Did you abandon your hatred for the Horsemen? Without pride?"

Choi Jung-hoon shrugged.

“It's not a matter of pride, you idiot. It's a strategy, of course, because it's a higher concept, and you don't understand it at all. ”

“Hmm……. ”

I frowned as if I didn't like Lee Hyuk.

“Do you think this will make a difference? ”

“Well, that's a lot of talk. ”

“What?"

“It's not important that things don't change and change. I'm always the best at what I do. by believing that if you get better, if you get better, if you get better, you can get to where you thought you couldn't get to. ”

“A proverb.”

Lee Hyuk breaks his head.

“But you miscalculated. Even if you keep going like that, you'll never reach where I am. I'll make you realize that. ”

Lee Hyuk's gaze turned towards Barbacee.

“Should I defeat that warrior first? Though I don't think a warrior can come back. ”

In the past, Barbace was still shaped like a human. But Barbacae was a kind of monster, no matter what anyone saw.

From the sense of the devil's aesthetic, there is nothing better than what was before and what is now. However, according to human standards, it has turned into an ugly appearance.

“How can a warrior talk and then swallow up the nearby Demon Kings? ”

“It's the most demonic thing. ”

“That?”

Barbatch smiles without an answer. A smile with a face that had already become unhuman, but it was definitely a smile.

“I told you, the Demon King stands alone. It's only now that I'm completely alone. I am now a representative of the will of the Magic System. ”

“Well, maybe I can admit it. Surprisingly, the other Demon Kings have been so kind as to offer you life. ”

“It's a crisis, Lee Hyuk. ”

“… a sense of crisis? ”

“I found out what the Demon Kings lacked. We have never been threatened by our land. We've always lived in other lands, and even if we lose, we've never been threatened by the mainland. Thanks to you, we learned the concept of protecting for the first time. ”

It's like, "Hitler introduced me to humanity." ”

“Laugh it up.”

Barbace raises his arms to the left and to the right.

“Whatever you want, whatever you want. Laugh if you will. Thanks to you, I know. that if you rely on such a thing as justification for being face-to-face, you can never achieve what needs to be done. Yes, the Demon Lord will be born again any day now. As long as there is a horse system and a horse tribe, a devil king is always born. Then we must protect the Magic Cube, not the Demon King. I know that because of you. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk narrowed his eyes when he learned that Barbacce's angles were unusual.

“What a brave thing to say. ”

“It was sarcastic at first. ”

“Huh?"

“But think about it. Anyone who fights against an approaching being to destroy a world deserves to be called a warrior. If I face you, I'm a warrior, too. Isn't that right?"

“ ……. ”

“You are just as evil as you are now. Even the Horsemen are frightened. A destroyer with no will, no purpose. ”

“I must admit.”

“Stop you. And I will restore the world to its original state. ”

“Good intentions. I admit that. But no matter how much you accept the power of the other Demon Kings, how can you defeat me? ”

“Don't you see? ”

“Hmm?”

“This flesh is optimized to defeat you. I had to give up so many things to create this body. Now it's time for you to pay the price. ”

Lee Hyuk glanced at Barbatch with a subtle glance.

‘I can barely feel Maggie. ’

Can't you feel her after accepting so many?

That meant that Margaery had surpassed the sensible realm of Lee Yi Hyuk.

‘That's impossible. ’

It is impossible to reach that level even if Barbacee and all the other Demon Kings combined. What if I am?

“Does this mean that Margie gave up to transform her body? ”

It was an unexpected idea.

All I could think about was getting Margie to the point where she wanted to deal with herself, but I didn't expect her to transform into a medium.

Limitations on Margie's use as a human being who used ether in the past are inevitable. That limit had limited the imagination of Lee Hyuk.

But Barbacce is like Margie, the Demon King herself. We could not even fathom how much power the body created based on the size of Magi was capable of.

“To put it simply, the total amount of your body will not exceed the total amount of Margie administered. ”

“It's a simple idea. I told you, I can give up everything. If I can defeat you, I can give up anything. Even my lifespan. ”

For the first time, Lee Hyuk's face was stiff.

“Life span?”

“The over-activated body has a short life span. The time to live in the flesh is only twenty years. ”

“... That's very subtle. ”

Of course, living a near eternal life is like being sentenced to three days of life by a human doctor.

Wood Duck.

Barbace did nothing, but his body began to quake. The twitching muscles were more amazing than gross. Especially if you think about how much power is hidden in it.

“Oh, so... that means Barbados, like the Horseman, has become flesh and blood." ”

Lee Hyuk said as if he was crazy.

“I couldn't understand why Lee Hyuk used to make fun of me before the battle, but now I understand one thing thanks to you. There's more than one Gadrip I want to spill. I think I can talk three syllables. ”

“No thanks. The eardrums aren't exactly evolved. ”

“... I can't imagine. What do you mean by extreme strength? ”

“You don't have to imagine. ”

Barbace smiles.

“You'll see with that body. ”

Barbatch pulls his arm back and forth, striking forcefully.

Whoo-hoo!

The sound of a leather drum explodes and Lee Hyuk's body bounces back like a bullet.

“Hehe?”

After bouncing off the air for a long time, Lee Hyuk barely regained his mind and caught the center of his body.

I didn't feel her at all. ’

So it was just the wind pressure that blew up Lee Hyuk? Just the wind pressure?

This was more than I could have imagined.

“What have you done? ”

Barbatch chuckles.

“I told you, I gave up everything to get you. ”

“ ……. ”

“I had to give up what I had to. Even if it's my life. So this is where we got there. I swallowed all my colleagues and threw away my life. I stood where no one had ever reached. Like you. ”

Barbace turns his neck to the left and to the right, and he says,

“Compared to what you've been through, it's been cheaper. But there's nothing to be upset about. The world is not equal. Wouldn't it be much worse for me to have to face the fact that you're just a human being looking down on me if I had to? ”

“You're a good talker. ”

Lee Hyuk gritted his teeth.

“Do you think you can handle me that much? ”

“Couldn't have done it a while ago. But now you're nothing. I hate to admit it, but he did something big. ”

“... This is a tearful scene. Humans buy time to make the Demon King stronger, and the Demon King praises Humans. Am I dreaming? ”

“Purpose is to create reason. If there is a purpose to capture you, I will bear the burden of holding hands with Humans. ”

“Heave-ho.”

Lee Hyuk twisted his head and laughed.

“Yeah, that's good, too. That would be nice... …. ”

Lee Hyuk's body began to cover with rough blood.

“I tried to kill them all anyway. So it shouldn't be too bad to rush in at once without stalling. You will be realized by death. that all of your efforts, all of your ways, meant nothing. ”

The blood spurts from Lee Hyuk's body began to produce huge uses.

Even Barbara, who perfected her body, flinches back slightly. Then, I sharpened my teeth and leaned slightly.

One did not rush easily.

I'm feeling it.

Everyone knew it instinctively.

No more talking. The battle begins now. And that battle will be the last to decide the fate of the world.

Humans, the Maestros, and even dragon-like humans looked at Lee Hyuk with united eyes. Surviving here is meaningless if you are pushed out of this battle now. That demon will destroy everything in the world. It's just postponing death.

“Phew... ”

Choi Jung-hoon sighed deeply.

“Are you nervous?”

“No.”

Choi Jung-hoon shakes his head at Seo Ah-young's words.

“Whatever the outcome, I'm glad to see the end of this feud. ”

“It's not about results, no matter what. We have to win."

“Well, of course you are. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled bitterly.

‘Regardless of the outcome. ’

It is natural to lose, and I was confident that even if I win this battle, I would never return to normal life again. It would be cruel to erase the traces of Lee Ji-hyuk with his hands.

“Nevertheless, it does not falter. ”

Choi Jung-hoon stared at Lee Hyuk with his sunken eyes.

It is good to be able to regret it. At least it reminds me of failure. It means he's still alive. If he dies in vain, he will not even regret it.

“So……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon raised his hand.

“I'll beat you to death with all my might! ”

As his hand lowers, the dragons' breaths pierce the sky. The scaly-colored trunks of Breth clash with Lee Hyuk to announce the start of the battle.

The final battle to determine the fate of the world has begun.
