Chapter 265

There were a total of three ‘reinforcements’ that Yoo Jonghyuk invited . Beast Master Shin Yoosung, Steel Sword Lee Hyunsung and…

“Hyunsung-ssi! Please take Dokja-ssi out of here!”

Ariadne’s web shot through the air and placed me on Lee Hyunsung’s back . A woman in a cat suit was running through the sky with the Hermes Walking Method . It was the incarnation of Olympus, Yoo Sangah .

“Yoosung, fire the breath from a long distance! Continue until Hyunsung-ssi leaves!”

The chimera dragon roared and fired a breath . The Apocalypse Imoogi screamed like it was quite painful .

[The constellation ‘Master of Steel’ has given a great probability to his incarnation . ]

[The constellation ‘Abandoned Lover of the Labyrinth’ is supporting her incarnation . ]

[The constellation ‘Master of the Skywalk’ is supporting his incarnation . ]

The constellations supporting Lee Hyunsung and Yoo Sangah seemed to be struggling . Thanks to Yoo Sangah’s commands, I was forcibly carried on Lee Hyunsung’s shoulder .

“…Lee Hyunsung-ssi . ”

“Stay still, Dokja-ssi . ”

“You don’t have to do this . I can move now . ”

Lee Hyunsung didn’t loosen his hard arms at my words . The only thing he did was silently climb the gorge . Once the top of the gorge could be seen, Lee Hyunsung opened his mouth . “Dokja-ssi, have you ever thrown a grenade?”

“…Grenade?”

“To use a grenade, you have to go through three steps . Remove the safety clip, remove the safety pin and throw it .

“I know because I’ve thrown it in the training camp . ”

“Then you know how important the safety pin is for a grenade . ”

I realized what Lee Hyunsung was trying to say .

“I lost the safety pin . ”

“…Wasn’t it the bullet shell last time?”

“I thought that I shouldn’t lose it again . ” Lee Hyunsung turned his head and looked back at me . “Once the safety pin is inserted, it must be done well . ”

Soon after, we reached the top of the gorge . At the bottom, Yoo Sangah and Shin Yoosung were riding the chimera dragon out of the gorge . I saw Shin Yoosung’s brightly smiling face and my heart felt complicated .

“Hyunsung-ssi . ”

“…Yes . ”

I knew what Lee Hyunsung wanted to say . He had been a soldier all his life so this was the only way he could express it .

“Thank you for coming . ”

I heard a sniffling sound but pretended not to know anything . After a while, something rolled like an acorn and crashed into my leg .

“Ahjussi!”

She hugged my tattered leg like it was precious .

“It’s been a while, Yoosung . ”

Shin Yoosung nodded vigorously when her face against my coat . I patted Shin Yoosung’s back while Yoo Sangah approached . “It has been a long time, Dokja-ssi . ”

“Yes . Have you been well?”

Well, it was a stupid question . Since the scenario started, no one could be well .

“You are the same, Dokja-ssi . ”

Yoo Sangah’s smile wasn’t false . Before the destruction of the world and after the destruction, Yoo Sangah was the only one who laughed at my jokes .

“The others…”

“Only we came . Heewon-ssi and the kids wanted to come as well but…”

“I tossed the coin with Lee Gilyoung and won!”

Shin Yoosung interrupted with a laugh . I see . My life was decided by throwing a coin . I stroked Shin Yoosung’s head and said, “Thank you Yoo Sangah-ssi . ”

“I was just thinking about going . There was a bad sign from Dokja-ssi’s Good or Bad Luck, Disaster or Happiness Fortune .

“Good or Bad Luck, Disaster or Happiness Fortune?”

I knew this skill . There was only one constellation on the Korean Peninsula who had it .

“Yes, it showed ‘great misfortune’ . Sooyoung and I were wondering about who should go when Yoo Jonghyuk contacted us…”

I roughly understood what was going on . I didn’t think Han Sooyoung and Yoo Sangah would throw a coin so… Yoo Sangah probably came because Han Sooyoung had a problem . Han Sooyoung seemed to be doing well with the job I entrusted to her .

“Sooyoung-ssi also wanted to come . ”

“Ah… yes . Indeed . ”

It was a lie . She disliked me .

Then there was a rumbling sound from a bush . I was so excited to meet my companions again that I forgot the game wasn’t over . I rushed through the forest area with the group and asked, “Are you aware of the situation?”

Yoo Sangah nodded . “I heard the story from Bihyung . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk might be playing in the tanker position with Ruler of Amusement but by now, his health would’ve almost reached the bottom .

The second game would be decided here .

The chimera dragon let out a burst of wind and the nearby trees collapsed . The battlefield where the constellations was fighting was clearly revealed .

“Yoo Jonghyuk!”

Yoo Jonghyuk glanced this way from where he was surrounded by constellations .

「 You’re late . 」

He was still arrogant but the blood flowing from his body made him seem like he was dying .

[You! He has a sentence!]

Perhaps there was a special skill to determine this as one constellation screamed .

Apart from our team, the number of participants remaining was six . Our side had only five people, including the new reinforcements . In addition, Yoo Jonghyuk was in a state where he almost couldn’t fight anymore .

[Go!]

As the all-out combat began, the constellations set up a formation centred around the Founder of Humanity and General of Vanara . The first one to run towards them was Steel Sword Lee Hyunsung .

“I! Won’t! Lost! It! Again!”

Lee Hyunsung flew forward and started to fight with the narrative-grade constellation, Manu .

Manu frowned like he was displeased to exchange blows with an incarnation . His powerful ‘status’ burned at Manu’s fingertips and the steel shell was slightly softened, but Lee Hyunsung didn’t back down .

[The constellation ‘Master of Steel’ is looking at the ‘Founder of Humanity . ’]

The Founder of Humanity was narrative-grade but so was the Master of Steel . I looked at the thorns of Steel Transformation rising around Lee Hyunsung’s body and I could only guess how harsh the personal scenarios that he completed were . It wasn’t a position that more than 10 incarnations could reach . The current Lee Hyunsung showed an overwhelming growth potential than the Lee Hyunsung of any other rounds .

Yoo Sangah watched the scene and also ran forward . “I’ll take Olympus . ”

[This girl, are you crazy?]

King Oedipus discovered Yoo Sangah . The two of them both belonged to Olympus . However, based on what I heard from Dionysus, Olympus was currently in the middle of a civil war .

[Master of the Skywalk! You’re making the wrong choice right now!]

I didn’t know the exact situation but it was obvious that a group led by Dionysus and Hermes was trying to be independent from the existing Olympus .

Yoo Sangah started fighting with King Oedipus while Shin Yoosung moved the chimera dragon .

The condensed breath covered the battlefield . The constellations who couldn’t avoid it screamed .

[There are 10 minutes remaining . ]

The second round was reaching its end . At this moment, the points of each team were almost equal . The constellations were desperate . Several constellations headed towards the chimera dragon and the dragon and Shin Yoosung were in a crisis .

The dragon wasn’t able to use its force because it consumed quite a lot of power when dealing with the Apocalypse Imoogi .

[A hatchling! It is only big!]

It would be our side that was disadvantageous if this round ended in a draw . The game would flow into the third game and if we didn’t win, we would have to deal with the constellations on a stage where the penalty had disappeared .

Yoo Jonghyuk knew this fact and pointed to Duke Bercan . “Kill the duke . He has the sentence . ”

I nodded .

“I will create a path . ” Yoo Jonghyuk squeezed out his magic power and used Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship .

[They are aiming for the sentence!]

Yoo Jonghyuk slashed and slashed again to create a road . He used his last force to draw a huge semicircle on the ground and the constellations rushed at him .

「 I’ll leave it to you, Kim Dokja . 」

Yoo Jonghyuk was pierced in the heart by Manu’s spear .

[The helper ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ has been killed!]

He stood upright even at the moment of death . The constellations turned to me after Yoo Jonghyuk disappeared . The Primitive Spear and a ray of light headed my way . However, the bombardment didn’t reach me .

“Dokja-ssi!”

Lee Hyunsung activated Steel Transformation to block the attacks of the constellations . The hot heat and shock would be terribly painful but Lee Hyunsung seemed more energetic . Duke Bercan could be seen in the distance .

[There are five minutes remaining . ]

“Hyunsung-ssi, throw me . ”

“It isn’t possible . Doing that again…!”

“You have to throw the grenade after pulling out the safety pin . ” I stared into Lee Hyunsung’s shaky eyes . “Even if I die here, I won’t really die . ”

The real death was losing this Demon King Selection . Lee Hyunsung watched for a while before closing and opening his eyes . Lee Hyunsung’s eyes returned to that of a soldier . “I won’t believe your lie again!”

“No, now isn’t the time to be stubborn—”

“If you die, we will die together!”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is greatly pleased . ]

“I must do this . ”

Then Lee Hyunsung started running with me on his back . Manu was hit by the rushing Lee Hyunsung and rolled on the floor like a bowling pin .

[Keeok! Cheeky incarnation…!]

No one was able to stop the berserk Lee Hyunsung . At least, it looked like that .

[Proud child . As I said earlier, it is barely ‘history . ’]

Lee Hyunsung’s movements were stopped by a powerful ‘status . ’ The Supreme God of Light Surya had recovered his strength and was blocking the way . His Third Eyes might not work properly but he was still a Lokapala of Vedas . He had the power to stop us .

His four arms moved and the entire ground shook as the running Lee Hyunsung was pushed back . He tried running again but the same thing repeated .

[The place where you are standing now is a place for humans . A human who keeps repeating the same mistakes . ]

I triggered Electrification from Lee Hyunsung’s back . My fists stretched out and struck Surya’s torso .

Even so, Surya didn’t budge . The transparent shield created by the four arms smothered all my attacks .

[Only this much? Are you really trying to see the end of the scenario?]

It was the power to deny all the history I had accumulated . Electrification and the White Pure Star Energy didn’t work .

[The times have changed . Only this much history…]

There was such a gap despite only 30% of his power being available . What would happen if 100% of the power was opened?

Then a new voice was heard . “Don’t ignore Ahjussi!”

Shin Yoosung shouted from the head of the chimera dragon . The breath poured out at Shin Yoosung’s signal . Surya swung his arms and scattered the breath .

Lee Hyunsung leapt through this gap . His Steel Transformation body collided with Surya . Surya, who had been unmoved by countless attacks, shook for the first time .

“Uwaaaaaah!” Lee Hyunsung swung his fists towards Surya like a madman . Lee Hyunsung didn’t stop despite the Steel Transformation around his fists cracking, blood splashing and bones breaking .

[The 73rd Demon Realm is responding to the will of you and your helpers . ]

[A new story about you is being made . ]

The human’s will to challenge a god was causing cracks in the defensive wall . A little break . It was a very small crack that human history created .

“Hyunsung-ssi . ”

Lee Hyunsung and I didn’t miss this gap . As if throwing a grenade, Lee Hyunsung threw my body that had become small through Miniaturization . I broke through the barrier created by Surya’s arms and rushed to Duke Bercan . Duke Bercan turned his head with surprise while I activated and my side pierced his neck .

[The participant ‘Demon King of Salvation’ has killed the participant ‘Duke Bercan’!]

…I did it . Along with the triumphant victory, countless system messages flowed into my head . Before I could read the messages, a power squeezed at me . At the last moment, I saw Surya’s face .

[You have died . ]
