Chapter 828: The Last (61)


The guy’s colleagues who went to the other side wouldn’t come back even if the sky fell.


“The demon summoner doesn’t know anything! He is an evil b.a.s.t.a.r.d that would put even Satan to shame! I feel sorry for the citizens of the Republic who trust and follow such a man!”


‘Deokgu is doing well.’


“You all were united with malice against the continent, and you’re still doing this even after you died? I’ve met a lot of people, but this is the first time I’ve met a psychopath like you! Unclean demon minion! If you have a little bit of humanity left… it is right to repent for your sins and kneel before the light! Sora should also say something.”


“Ah… Yeah… this… This demon summoner… how… how… can you summon… demons … on this peaceful continent…”


Light shone even more when we’re together.


‘That’s a sincere cry coming from his heart.’


Just by looking at him with a sly smile, I began to see his anxious expression.


I thought he was anxious about whether his heart would be shaken rather than being anxious about being criticized.


He knew. Jin Qing understood that he shouldn’t be shaken, that he shouldn’t get caught up in the pace, and that he shouldn’t be pushed into a fight that seemed useless.


However, it wouldn’t be easy to keep his composure.


The arrogance he had was visibly cracking. How could he keep his composure when he saw the holy light that would remain the only stain in his life?


Seeing that he couldn’t answer the question of what I was going to do…


‘He must be thinking that he has to be careful.’


For him, the human Lee Kiyoung was the kind of person whom he didn’t know the full capabilities of.


He called me a dirty scammer and described me as a moron who only bluffed, but there was no way he thought that in his head.


‘Because he’s not such an idiot that can’t learn a lesson from failure.’


He had learned enough lessons from the past.


The human in front of him had been acting unpredictably, and he might be judging that I could turn the tables while he didn’t have the ability to lead the board.


Perhaps he was overestimating me a little more.


Perhaps the explosion of magical power sources earlier gave him a chance to think.


I couldn’t say that it was a very pleasant situation for him to raise my awareness, but I wished he could overestimate me a little more if possible.


It was important to make him act carefully regarding where and what measures would pop up.


After all, it was a situation where I would win as time pa.s.sed… It was obvious without even seeing the pieces of the demon faction, which lost many of its magic sources.


He quietly frowned and looked at the situation board once again, but after confirming that there was no major damage to the main unit, he was seen stroking his chin.


‘He’s going to fight.’


He decided that he could change the unfavorable situation.


‘I hate this.’


Under normal circ.u.mstances, raising a white flag would be the correct decision. I began to feel annoyed when he found a way out that I couldn’t even see.


—The talk was long. What do you think? I also was about to wonder what you would do. Shouldn’t we continue? It looks like you’re acting as if you have already won.


[The Sunset Kim Hyunsung looks up at the sky. He expresses an intention that can’t be conveyed to the player. His intention has not been communicated.]


‘Ah, why does he keep getting bugs?’


—I’m curious about your next move. It must be garbage bluffing anyway. Do you have anything left to show?


I didn’t need to panic. At times like this…


It was important to blur the essence. There was no need to limit me to this measly little game board. If he saw me as an unpredictable human, then it was right to act like that.


Although it was stated that I had to attack to win the game, I would like him to come up with various hypotheses if possible.


It might be easier to create a comfortable environment to move around by saying that I was looking for an offensive method that he wasn’t aware of.


‘There is nothing better than clouding the issue when you’re in doubt.’


I didn’t pay attention to the game board. Sometimes I talked with Hayan, drank coffee, or got up from my seat. After putting the Republic’s soldiers and citizens at the forefront, I simply prepared for war and looked around.


It would be important to chat with Deokgu about news from the Federation where Hee-ra was and laugh at him as if these games didn’t matter.


It would be hard to ignore.


“Commander, how did you meet Lee Jihye?”


It was a question that might get his attention.


—That’s a pointless question. I just got an offer from someone.


“Did you know that I died?”


—Should I answer? I don’t know if this kind of chatter is important. How about focusing a little more on the war?


“I don’t know. Frankly, it doesn’t matter. This event doesn’t feel that important either. Do you understand how things are going here?”


—I do.


“Are you aware that the mythic-grade dungeon Continent where the Son of Light was Sacrificed has been opened, and you are being used as a piece to propel the event forward? For you, this quest is both the meaning of existence and the purpose itself, but it does not come with the same meaning to me.”


—That’s a lie.


“I’m sure you can think of it that way.”


—That’s a very blatant lie. I don’t know if it’s self-confidence or if you went nuts, but there’s no objection to the fact that your actions are made up, stupid b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Didn’t I say that people who have something to protect are weak? Is there any reason your voice has to be heard by that crazy woman and the big moron?


“It doesn’t matter if they don’t, but what can I do if they like me?”


—You’re nervous. You’re fl.u.s.tered since things aren’t going your way.


“You became a lie detector in the blink of an eye.”


—I just put what I see into words, trash.


“I don’t know what you’re looking at, and I find it ridiculous that you think your interpretation is right.”


—It’s a simple story. Isn’t it all just to show off? It’s plausible that you’re in that woman’s body, bloated like an actor on stage, but I think the timing is quite convenient for you. It was when the woman on this little battlefield died, if I’m correct. It looks like you’re acting, even deceiving yourself, but don’t think you can fool my eyes.


“That’s a good guess.”


—Even that little production might be a show to hide your true feelings. If provoking me and raising the tension was to hide that anxiety, it might make sense. Oh! Of course, as you said, this is a guess, not a certainty.


“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You’re right. You’re right.”


—And I feel that your current behavior is an act of hiding your fear. You are nervous. I didn’t expect that there would be people who value a b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you, but it seems to me that you are a.s.suming a situation where you are making a mistake.


‘It’s so annoying. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d.’


—Unlike you… all I have to do is stick to this war.


‘So annoying.’


However, he was probably not convinced of that hypothesis. No, he might be trying to suppress his certainty since he knew he shouldn’t let go of the possibility that I was expecting him to think that way.


In other words, he was thinking of responding to all changes and variables now.


I didn’t need to deny or affirm it. It didn’t matter, anyway.


“I will not deny it.”


—I guess I got it right. Is that woman’s honor holding your ankles? That was funny.


“It is true that I do not want Hyejin to die. It’s an overstatement to say that I came down here to prevent her death, but maybe that’s it. Would you feel better if I say it like this?”


As soon as I calmed down, I immediately felt tears pouring out of my eyes.


His face, which was constantly maintaining his poker face, was distorted for a moment.


I thought about losing Cho Hyejin for a moment and a.s.sumed that I was a human who reacted to the death of a loved one by changing Lee Kiyoung’s disposition.


After a while, my hands started to tremble. I felt my body fall all the way down to the abyss. Anger, frustration, and all sorts of negative emotions mixed. My chin shook, and tears were constantly falling from my eyes.


“Ah… ugh…ugh…”


Strange noises were constantly leaking out of my mouth. It was hard to breathe.


My head was dizzy


It was strange. I almost felt like throwing up…


—Crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You’re obviously crazy.


‘This feels bad. I’ll never do it again.’


“Who would you like to have a conversation with? No matter what kind of person you think of me, I am willing to adapt to that…”


—Crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d.


His eyebrows twitched as I tapped my thigh with my finger.


“No matter what you think, it’s up to you, but it would be easier for you to think of me as a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who always goes back on my word depending on the situation I’m in.”


—I’ll give you serious advice. No matter how you end up, you will eventually go crazy.


“It is not for you to judge, so don’t think about measuring me, okay? It’s annoying. To be honest, you must not be happy. If I think that my people will disappear, I may go crazy, as you said. But it doesn’t matter.”


—I think you might.


“Did you know that the clearing condition of this dungeon is Lee Kiyoung’s resurrection or the end of all life?”


—I do.


“You will think that you have stepped on this stage again for the sake of the latter, but from my point of view, the latter does not matter.”
