Chapter 516: Please Kill Me (1)

‘Will it be alright?’

He was biting his lips hard.

He must have realized that he made a mistake because his expression had grown darker. However, his mouth continued to move.

It wasn’t even a choice that he had to make.

In his perspective, it was the best thing to do. It was because we had been responding to him.

He continued to call on to me so desperately that my heart ached.

“Kiyoung-ssi, it’s me.”

‘I know, you little shit.’

“Please open your eyes.”

‘My eyes are already open.’

“Can you hear my voice?”

‘I can hear it well. Really well.’

Rather than flinging his sword around, he must have thought that it was more important to send his thoughts to Light Kiyoung. He must have judged that it was more important to bring back my sanity, so he continued to cry and shout desperately for my attention.

He wailed so sorrowfully that I became afraid of grabbing my head even a little bit.

I thought I could influence him a bit, but it affected him more than I thought it would.

‘You idiot, this is why the first timeline went downhill.’

His behavior showed that no matter how hard one tried, humans couldn’t change their essence. It wasn’t a proverb that I liked, but seeing him, I began to empathize with those who quoted it.

It seemed like he didn’t even care about himself. Seeing how he was trying everything he could to help me, I could guess how the first timeline went.

It was easy to predict, considering he was still taking care of others in such a situation.

It seemed like he was more concerned about my head than his leg since as he blocked attacks from the gigantic bones and Dialugia, he didn’t turn his eyes away from me.

I hesitated to even touch my head like I had a headache because of how he screamed.

When I reached out one of my hands and grabbed my head with the other, the effect was astounding.

As I scrunched up my face, as if the masked side of my face was in pain, I made sure that Kim Hyunsung would come my way.

He was rushing in recklessly, but Dialugia seemed to show much more restraint.

‘Ah, he is pretty strong.’

It was foolish of me to forget that, even among the legendary players, Kim Hyunsung was one of the best.

Of course, the way that Hyunsung continued to swim in the waves of bones made it easier to forget. He could not ignore the power that Dialugia’s Plague Breath held, either.

“There…”

His movements had been limited because of the ghosts hiding in the crevices between the waves of bones. He probably felt annoyed by the fact that they were scattered all around.

‘I have to stretch him to the limit.’

My battle with him had to progress like that. One couldn’t say that he was in his best condition.

It seemed like Lee Jihye’s improper operation had exhausted him. Not to mention, little wounds were piling up on his body, one-by-one.

It would be strange if he weren’t exhausted after spending so many hours on the battlefield. Soon enough…

‘His legs will probably be fine, right?’

His legs could no longer move.

Affected by the ghost, his legs had hardened so much that it wouldn’t listen to Kim Hyunsung’s will.

He was suppressing it with his magic, but it would only take a little while until he would no longer be able to use it.

His movements gradually became more limited.

The times when he swung his sword rather than using mana to protect his body increased. He must have judged that there were more attacks that he couldn’t avoid than ones that he could.

Boooooooom!!!!

Craaaaaaaaaash!!!!

Every time he swung his sword, the waves of bones divided, and Dialugia’s breath was split apart.

From the impact, the city in ruins shifted like a desert changing its landscape. I couldn’t do anything but bite my lips tightly due to the situation.

Pooooop!!

Along with that sound, a mountain made out of bones erupted upwards.

The arms of a gigantic monster sprouted horizontally across the land. It was a lot of work to fill the amount of energy spent.

If it wasn’t for Belial’s magic, I must have used enough energy to retire more than ten times. Still, that amount of energy was creating quite the worthy scene.

I could guess the thoughts of the viewers who were watching the fight.

Some seemed to have forgotten that they were also in the midst of a battle. They stood, almost motionlessly, as they watched.

“No way… no way…”

“Is that a human fighting….is he really… a human…?”

“Is that…”

I could also empathize with them. It didn’t make sense that a city could be turned into ruins by one man’s conflict.

They watched a swordmaster defend and fight in a city corrupted by waves of bones that had been summoned by Doom Kiyoung while riding on a fallen dragon.

The two contrasted even more because of the light surrounding him.

‘Ah, that’s great. You are doing well!’

The audience’s attention had become even more focused. This entire time, I continued to place my hands on the masked side of my face as if I was still protesting.

The point was to look like I could devour Kim Hyunsung in one gulp if it weren’t for the guy resisting inside me.

I flicked my fingers once more and the tentacles, using Limuria’s crystals, reached out to him. I looked at him, pressuring him like I was just warming up.

“This is fun. Really fun. Hahahahaha!”

It was a cringy line, but I thought the audience wouldn’t be pleased unless I said a line like that.

Having experienced Limuria’s tentacles before, his face looked a bit curious; but those tentacles were nothing more than the weaker forms of the original.

There were simply many of them. Still, they did look like the real ones. Moreover…

‘The scale is unbeatable.’

Each tentacle was as big as a house. There wasn’t a lot of magic in each one, but its mass was lethal. Even for the empire’s citizens, who already had the power that surpassed normal humans, such a scene was unbelievable.

Craaaaaaash!

Boooooooooom!!

“Crazy…”

-Rooooooooooooooar!!

Crasssssssh!!

“Hahahahaha!”

“That is…”

“Is this a dream… am I just dreaming?”

“Oh, God…”

“Benignore…”

Craaaaaaaash!!!

As if he was answering them, Kim Hyunsung added more vigor to his movements.

Of course, his lips didn’t rest at all. To him, what he had to say was probably more important than anything else.

“Can you hear me, Kiyoung-ssi? Please… If you can hear me… answer me. I beg you.”

Of course, I wouldn’t answer back even though I could hear him.

“Kiyoung-ssi, I beg of you… please answer me.”

‘Ha, this bastard, this…’

“Didn’t you say that you will wait… didn’t you tell me that? Please open your eyes. I believe that you can defeat it. I believe that you won’t lose and that you are still in there… I truly believe that.”

“…”

“Didn’t you tell me that you will wait and believe? I’ve come for you. Please… Please, just open your eyes and look at me. Please, I beg of you.”

“….”

“As much as you believed in me, I also believe in you. I believe that you won’t lose and will continue to fight. That is not the place where you should be, Kiyoung-ssi.”

‘Why this little shit, stimulating people’s emotions like this.’

“Please…please… don’t give up.”

“…”

“I will never give up on you. So please never… ever surrender. Didn’t you show me that I wasn’t alone? Kiyoung-ssi, it’s the same for you too. Everyone is fighting for you.”

“Hyung-nim, hyung-nim! Please open your eyes. Please open your eyes!”

‘Park Deokgu, you bastard…’

“When you said that since you could do it, I could do it better- I know you said that because… it really is true. Hyung-nim… urgh… hyung-nim, because you went ahead, I could follow you. It’s because you set the path for me first that I could go ahead.”

“…”

“Lee Kiyoung, you little shit. You shit. Wake up, you bastard. Do you want to really disappear from here?”

‘Hee-ra, why you too…?’

“You are the one who said, ‘let’s eat well and live well.’ If really are a fucking man, get over this and wake up, bastard.”

‘Whoah, that was a bit… but it wasn’t bad.’

Amused, I observed my surroundings. Like I was enjoying it, I looked at them as if I was encouraging them to continue.

Elena and Hee-young, who were already exhausted, and the other blue guild-members continued to raise their voices. Everyone who had even the tiniest connection with that situation began to shout out. In return, I displayed a scene where I looked to be in pain, writhing around with my hands to my head.

“Jeez! Damn it!”

I thought it was a chance, but Kim Hyunsung also started to call on my name desperately.

“Everyone… is waiting. Everyone is waiting.”

I didn’t know when he got there, but he was staring at me with a smile on his face. The bones and tentacles that had sucked the city into chaos suddenly subsided into silence.

“Didn’t you hold my hand? This time, it’s my turn. Please… open our eyes… I beg of you.”

“…”

“There are still a lot of things I haven’t told you. I have so many stories that I want to tell you. Even that picnic that we promised our guild members to go to… or the mirror fountain that Hayan-ssi wanted to go… don’t we have to go this time?”

Kim Hyunsung reached out as if all of that was over and smiled at me with his battered body.

His expression told me he fully believed that I could hear his voice. However, seeing my look, his eyes began to be filled with dread.

Tears trailed down from the unmasked side of my face.

‘Good.’

I could finally deliver the line that I had always wanted to say.

“Please… Kill… Me…”

Kim Hyungsung looked like he was at a loss for words.

‘This is liiiiiiiiit!’
