Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

What exactly did El see in the future?

I didn't know that.

It's because he was unconscious and collapsed before he could even hear the details.

“ ……? ”

Yoon Suk, who caught El on the way, hardened his blemish.

I thought it was just a dry wolf, but my whole body was hot like Dale's.

Honestly, I'm worried there might be a threat to life.

‘Damn it.'

Yoon-suk felt a sense of alertness and spilled a shrapnel into her body.

However, there was no chance of improvement.

Yoon-suk hurriedly woke Kanna Blitz.

The acting officer. No, I thought there might be a way for her to be called a saint now....

“No one can fix this. ”

Kanna cut it right off without even trying. The Enforcer's eyes confirmed it as true.

“You said you were interfering with the ritual? That's why the body collapses because there's nothing in the bowl that's expanded to fit the personality. ”

In other words, it was because Yoon-suk brought her out during the ceremony.

“So what do I do? ”

“What do we do? There's no way. We'll be dead soon enough. ”

It seems like it's a good thing you don't have to use your hands. Yoon-suk was just heartbroken, rather than angry.

“You know it's not El's fault what happened to you, right? ”

“So it's my fault? ”

Kanna clenches her teeth and shouts nervously.

Maybe Yoon-suk touched her brace. Sometimes it's not hope that keeps us in despair, but hatred.

Yoon-suk, who had been in a painful time, knew that. That is why I was able to say without hesitation.

“It's nobody's fault. ”

Who is the victim and who is the perpetrator.

Differentiation is pointless.

We're both victims.

“You know that, don't you? That the target is wrong. ”

“... Don't tempt me. He's a pagan. There's filthy pagan blood running through his veins! ”

Yoon-suk also heard about it on his last mission.

The Witch seat of Trezan Church is a blood relative.

El's mother was a witch. She ran away from them and gave birth to El.

But…….

“Do you really think this child is to blame? ”

Yoon-suk took a step aside.

Make sure you can see the El that collapsed in Kanna's eyes better.

I lost both my eyes because I was not enough to have taken away my childhood when I should have been happy by the pagans.

And now he's wandering around.

If Kanna hadn't been stubborn when she saw this, I wouldn't have said anything more...

“What am I supposed to say...? Easy for everyone to say. But you don't know what I've been through. You don't know what it's like to be alive right now. Right? ”

Yoon-suk did not deny it.

“Yes, I don't know. ”

I don't know

He's had a hard time, but how could he dare to know?

No, it would be arrogant to empathize with her pain, even if she had the same experience.

The depths of human suffering are different.

That's why Yoon-suk doesn't know.

How long has she been struggling at the bottom, screaming that no one can hear?

“But you're going to get through this. ”

There is only one thing Yoon-suk knows.

Irritable wounds do not exist in this world.

Only the beast committed a sin that cannot be washed away.

“Let me help you. ”

Yoon-suk reached out to her.

The hand that Yoon-suk of the past hoped for in the day that was hell.

* * *

There was nothing dramatic about it.

“ ……. ”

After a period of silence.

Yoon-suk grabbed his hand back in a safe manner.

Kanna eventually did not hold Yoon-suk's hand.

But I could feel it in the eyes of El.

Not now, but it's getting better.

“Is there really no way? ”

Yoon-suk asked Kanna again.

Now I thought I could hear a stronger answer, and I did.

“Not that I know of. But he might be different. ”

“Him? ”

“Rick Gersei. He's almost an expert when it comes to pagans. ”

That's the name again.

At this point, I can't help but think he's mixed up in something important on this mission.

“Can you learn more about him? ”

“Well, I don't know. I rescued the pagans from captivity a few years ago, and I have great vengeance for them. ”

Apparently Kanna didn't even realize that guy was one of the mercenaries in the past...

‘Is it stuck like this again.... ’

I felt frustrated as if I had something on my neck.

Kanna opens her mouth.

“If you're curious, why don't you meet him in person? ”

“… can we meet? ”

“Yes. As soon as this war broke out, I thought you were a mercenary. Are you sure you're okay with this? ”

Kanna looked at Yoon-suk and asked.

Yoon-suk didn't know enough to not know what it meant.

‘Can you follow me with faith in yourself who just tried to kill El? ’

Well, the answer was already set.

Yoon-suk nodded without a worry.

In fact, he believed in himself more than he believed in her. No matter how many enemies there were, El was confident enough to be healthy.

Even if there were unexpected risks, it was worth taking if you could uncover Rick Gersei's secret.

“I envy him. ”

“What did you just say? ”

“No, not a word. Let's go. We're in the middle of a hostile situation here. ”

After that, Yoon-suk, who held El, joined the Kanna Herd and headed to the Trinity camp. After crossing the mountain range, Shiori quickly moves to the center of the plains without saying a word, and then talks to see if there's any room.

Quiet enough that no one can hear you.

“These people are not real. ”

As soon as I heard that, my head tilted.

I know she wasn't wrong, but I was wondering why she suddenly said that.

“Doing something here doesn't change anything. ”

“I'm aware of that. ”

“Then why are you doing it? I was going to change my mission because of the challenge, but I don't understand what I said to the saint. ”

She seemed genuinely curious as to why.

If I didn't, I wouldn't have spoken to myself so afraid.

Yoon-suk answered briefly.

“If you don't understand, don't. Nobody wanted that for you. ”

“ ……. ”

Did he realize that his questions made him uncomfortable?

After that, Shiori kept her mouth shut and no longer bothered.

“Then you can go back. ”

After finally returning across the plains, Kanna sends back the challengers in charge of the tour. He led only a few of his personal escorts to her barracks with Yoon-suk.

“I sent someone, and if he's alive, he'll be back soon. ”

A private barracks larger than the barracks used by more than 30 people.

As I lay El on the bed and waited for a while, I was able to face the subject I had been looking forward to meeting.

“Rick Gersei. ”

“ ……? ”

Yoon-suk remained stiff as a rock.

I had to.

If you're blonde and blue-eyed. And it would look just like that if it had a white skin tone.

“Is that you? I have some questions about the pagans. ”

Even his voice was similar.

“Ask me anything. I'll do anything to help you kill them. ”

What the hell is going on?

Yoon-suk became confused.

* * *

The appearance of Yoon-suk is quite common.

As a student, he heard that he resembled anyone he knew.

If we search the whole world at any given time, there must be some people who look the same even their parents can't take a minute.

But…….

‘It can't just be a coincidence. ’

Coincidence.

There are countless things in this world that will not be explained by that word alone.

I didn't intend to call it fate.

But there is something.

Rick Gersei, for this man.

A huge secret that even the shape of it could not figure out.

“I'm Choi Yun-seok.”

“Well, it's good to see you. So, can we hear what you have to say? ”

Yoon-suk asked directly.

“Elizabeth Rowen. What's your relationship with her? ”

“… who are you? ”

He was disgusted.

The moment El discussed it, his mood changed.

“Why did you find me? ”

He was a kind man who seemed to be willing to cooperate with anything just now, but he was as sharp as a veil.

“I don't want to fight. I'm just wondering. The identity of the man El calls you. ”

“... Did you meet that child? ”

Rick asks urgently.

The pale hope hidden in desperation was seen in Yoon-suk's eyes.

He looks back at the bed where El is lying quietly, and Rick shakes like a man struck by lightning.

“God……. ”

After carefully approaching to confirm that El was right, he knelt on his knees and began to weep.

“… El. It's me. I'm here. Sorry I'm late. I'm so sorry...... ”

Yoon-suk waited for his emotions to settle.

It didn't take much time.

He was incredibly quick to judge the situation even though his emotional lines were extreme.

“Seeing that you don't have two eyes, you've already inherited the girl. Did you save him in the middle of it? Is that why you can't get up? ”

He said he was a doctor of paganism, but without any explanation, he was able to make a full analogy of the situation.

“Yes. Is there any way?" ”

“You know, I've been prepared for everything these past few years. ”

Yoon-suk was also relieved.

If El dies, the mission doesn't work.

In other words, the part of my concern about losing my life was solved coolly.

‘Well, this was also a challenge, so I wouldn't have left it unanswered. ’

Once I heard there was a way, Yoon-suk decided to check on what he had been curious about.

“Rick Gersei. ”

“Call me Rick. ”

“Rick, I have a few questions for you. ”

“Anything.”

Is it because I saved El?

His attitude seemed to treat the former savior.

Yoon-suk opened his mouth easily, considering that it was good.

“I want to know about you. I heard you've been taking care of El for three years, under the threat of pagans." Why did you do that to her without any ointment? ”

“... I don't know why that is, but I'll give you an answer. Well, there's no guarantee you can understand that. ”

After a while, Rick has time to collect his emotions.

I started talking with a grave tone.

“I was looking for a place to die. So I was glad to hear that the Holy Mother asked the pagans to recover her kidnapped child. I could die doing something worth dying for. ”

But Rick is not dead.

After a struggle, you defeated the heathens and rescued El. When he hoped so desperately, it was a miracle he didn't come.

“I couldn't die for that child. I've decided to do it. ”

That was three years ago.

It's been a series of days since everything seemed to fall apart, but Rick could find it one day.

The smile that I thought I'd lost was somewhere in my mouth.

“I was the one who was saved. But this god guy is so fickle. ”

Rick looks at Kanna and says,

I didn't think I was going to do it in front of her who was a saint of a giant religious organization…….

Ironically, Kanna was the most empathetic to his words.

“After they took her from them. I've been digging around for them like crazy. Then I found out about the Witch's succession, and I came here to hear that they were at war with them. ”

Rick was planning on taking this opportunity to save El, but it didn't end well for him.

“Thank you very much. ”

One last thank-you. Rick's story is over.

There was nothing in the middle that I lied about.

That made me even more doubtful.

I thought I could reach the right answer by collecting the clues one by one, but I didn't.

“I have one more question for you. ”

He doesn't take his gaze off Rick's eyes, and Yoon Suk pulls it out of his mouth.

“Do you know the Tower of Perforation? ”

Perhaps this twisted thread will be loosened at once.
