Chapter 95 – Invasion (5)

“Will it take some time?”

“I don’t know how he did it, but Raon sealed himself. But don’t worry. If you invest time and nutrients, I think you will be able to break through quickly.”

“Well, of course you have at least a trump card.”

It was a strategy that was carried out on a somewhat tight schedule due to time constraints, but the result was a success anyway. It was because Lucy’s surprise attack, which took advantage of the fact that the opponent had not predicted it at all, dealt more damage than expected.

But we didn’t get the information we wanted right now. In the end, after a fierce battle, Raon, who succeeded in capturing the target, sealed his body on the verge of defeat.

“While breaking the seal, we will start an attack on the central region that we have been putting off for a while while keeping an eye on the human world.”

“Do it. I have work to do here too.”

Anyway, it’s true that it’s been a while. Maybe it was because I moved a little hastily, even though I went through a lot to deliver Ireland to Lucy, I was pretty calm.

“The president of the association says it would be better to keep your mouth shut.”

“You look very angry.”

“It has to be. Derek, he tried to kill us.”

Lee Ji-yeon, who came out of the association president’s office and approached me, who was waiting for me, did not hide her uncomfortable expression. Naturally, she tried to expose Derek Crabbe’s murder under the direction of the Constellation, but Baek Seung-cheol, the president and president of the association, blocked it. It is said that Baek Seung-cheol advised her that it would be more dangerous and annoying to expose her. It was not wrong.

“All those involved who would confess to the crime died in a fall from the sky on the day they could not afford to be captured. If you reveal facts that are hard to believe, even if you have solid evidence, you will incur a backlash. Even more so, if there is no such evidence, we could be attacked by people even after suffering such an injustice.”

“I know. But I can’t help but be angry.”

She let out a deep sigh and nodded. Even though she was angry like this, she wouldn’t dare to step out and do anything that would cause harm.

I, too, really had no idea. Although I was attacked first, I ended my revenge by killing all the attackers, and Lucy’s work beyond the screen was more important to me in the first place.

“The constellation is said to be helping us, but how can they give such an order? Killing the same person to grow your own power. Such a terrible…”

“······The Constellation must have thought that was a genuine help. Actually, that’s what Derek and his gang thought.”

She muttered incomprehensibly, but I could see why. Jiyeon Lee, of course, is a fact that many people unconsciously misunderstand, but in fact, the purpose of the status window that appeared with the appearance of invasive species is not to maintain human society or keep the existing order.

The purpose of the status window is only to train the Awakeners to fight and win against monsters. In the process, there is no way to consider our situation, order, or legal system.

Just like Lucy is growing her own body. To the status window, and to the constellation that appeared from the status window, killing was, in the end, just a means.

“And I’m more worried about Jinhyeok than I am. He was still young and liked Derek, but he was betrayed like that.”

“I will go to Jinhyeok.”

In fact, Lee Ji-yeon was not a problem. She was an adult with an unshakable conviction and a stronger heart than me, but it wasn’t Oh Jin-hyeok who moved with me that day. It’s not for nothing that discussions about minor awakenings don’t stop.

Moreover, Oh Jin-hyeok saw me wearing Nano Omega that day. Unlike Lee Ji-yeon, who knows the circumstances, he does not know my identity, so the confusion will increase. Looking at it like this, it was natural for me to take care of it because I was not without responsibility.

“Are you okay?”

So I went to Oh Jin-hyeok that way. The awkward greeting asking if your body is okay is a bonus. There were no injuries anywhere, so of course my body would be fine, but I couldn’t openly ask if my heart was okay.

“Your body is fine. I almost died, but I wasn’t hurt in the end.”

“I can imagine how you feel. But it’s only natural that people worry about you. Because you are still young.”

Of course, his expression was not good. Betrayed and even faced with a life crisis, it is difficult to gossip about the fact that they worked together in the massacre of Derek’s gang. It was never easy to endure being a hot topic when you see that celebrities who are grown adults sometimes can’t stand people’s cubs.

“The president of the association said it was better to just go on like this.”

“Uh, why!? We were almost killed by that bastard!”

“Because that would make it less difficult for you. As a result, Derek’s gang was annihilated, and above all, if this story grows, Jiyeon Lee and you should properly disclose ‘how you came out alive’.”

“That, does your brother know that?”

He widened his eyes when I mentioned the events of the day. In fact, it was because I knew that I was saved by an unknown creature that was me wearing Nano Omega, that they didn’t fall thanks to me, and I, who was known to have been waiting for them at the base.

“Lee Ji-yeon told me.”

“Umm, I actually thought I would tell my brother.”

I calmly sold Lee Ji-yeon. Oh Jin-hyeok then nodded as if it were natural. This reaction was slightly different from what I expected.

“You two are dating, right?”

“no.”

“a.”

He snorted as if he knew everything. Of course, it’s not once or twice that we’ve been misunderstood, and it’s expected, but Lee Ji-yeon and I have denied it every time.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but everyone around you will think that way. My older brother quit school to do this job, and the relationship between the two…”

“I can’t help it if I don’t believe it. But that’s not what’s important now. it’s your heart Your will matters most. Even after going through this, do you want to continue fighting monsters and living your life?”

I forcibly changed the topic. Oh Jin-hyeok’s face, which had been laughing heartily, hardened at once, as if the effect was quite good.

“Everyone fights for a variety of reasons. But without that solid reason, it will be difficult.”

“I have my reasons, and I will not give up. If the reason for such a hyung is not Jiyeon noona, what is it? Why drop out of a good university, jump into this business, and follow us through dangerous places?”

my reason. When I was trying to appease Oh Jin-hyeok, that word that came to me in reverse came to me especially loudly.

“Of course, I have my reasons. But I can’t speak.”

“As expected, dating is right…”

“Think whatever you want.”

I smiled at him for knowing that, and I grabbed the phone in my hand without realizing it. The relationship between Lucy and I is clearly complementary. Me and Lucy help each other with each other’s growth.

My current goal is to grow Lucy and borrow her power, but is that really true? If Lucy, who is moving in every direction with a single desire to meet me, cannot come here, will I abandon her?

I asked myself, but the answer was too easy. Now I can’t abandon Lucy.

***

“…”

“Try hard every day. A monster like you will never be able to solve it.”

“It’s a complex twisted expression, but if it wasn’t created as a variable from beginning to end, but was intentionally created in the end, it can be fully inverted.”

While he was dealing with the problems around him, Lucy was also doing her job. While everyone was in shock and chaos, Lucy, who had returned to the Pandemonium, naturally mobilized all her means to break the sealing ceremony created by Raon.

“It’s as if you’re saying that you’re smarter than the wisdom of our ancestors, who have existed since the beginning of time.”

At such Lucy, Raon, who was imprisoned in a transparent mineral like ice, laughed at her. It was himself who was defeated, but Lucy didn’t get what he wanted in the end, so he thought it was no different.

“I’ll stop sleeping like this. Nothing is permanent in this world When I wake up again, you will eventually be defeated and die.”

Raon continued to provoke Lucy. It was intended to get Lucy to open her mouth and somehow reveal more information.

“Why would a monster like you find a way to another world?”

“You don’t know.”

“Is there something I must find or something I must meet?”

Originally, Lucy, who even used her own emotions, would not have been hurt by any provocation. But today was a little different.

“Did I guess?”

Raon saw Lucy’s eyes shake slightly. Emotions are a double-edged sword, the more repeated growth and the stronger the power, the more often Lucy’s emotions randomly bounced.

It was the same even now. Originally, the moment Raon pointed it out, Lucy, the Demon King’s army itself, didn’t have to keep her body in front of him, but she didn’t. It was because I was more accustomed to working with my own body now.

“You think you can have it? Like this?”

“There is nothing I can’t do.”

“No, you will fail.”

Raon, who thought he had found a gap, persistently bit into it and hung on. It was then that Lucy’s wriggling emotions eventually exploded.

“her. I thought you were a cold monster.”

Raon fell silent at the sight of Lucy swinging her fist to the point that her arm was broken. Lucy, whose face was distorted like a demon, did not hide her anger.

“I have done everything so far. to kill and eat Kill more, fight more. Even if it were to kill all life and cover this land with corpses and fill this sea with blood. So don’t worry, Raon. No matter what decision you make, in the end you will act according to my will.”

“······ Crazy bitch.”

Lucy, who showed her true intentions for a moment, quickly put her emotions together and turned around and left. It was judged that Raon’s sealing ceremony could not be broken right now.

Raon laughed at Lucy’s back. It was a laugh because I still didn’t know what kind of existence Lucy was.

“I know that the orcs of the Black Land are skilled in poison and seal magic. The ability to detoxify and heal, too. If we use their abilities, we might be able to find the answer to break Raon’s sealing ceremony.”

Lucy, who searched through her database and found all the information related to the seal, confirmed that one of the demons in the central region she had to attack had exceptional abilities in that field.

Then there is no reason to hesitate. Because Lucy had to come this far to get what she wanted in the end, even if she waged a war, made many sacrifices, and endured a devastated land.
