Chapter 797: The Last (30)

It felt as if the air was freezing in an instant.

A face that was gelid enough to make the illusion that the biting cold wave from the north wind reached that far, and it was an unfamiliar face that made me wonder if that was the Kim Hyunsung I knew.

Of course, it wasn’t the first time I saw Kim Hyunsung’s cold face. He had looked at me coldly in his Doom Hyunsung state and when the demon cut off our bond.

However, the expression he showed now was different from then. It was difficult to explain exactly, but something wasn’t the same. If I really wanted to find the right word, perhaps…

Indifference.

I guess I could express it that way.

It was as if he was looking at a stone or an ant rolling on the side of the road.

When the bond was cut off, Kim Hyunsung contained hostility, but I couldn’t feel such hostility in his eyes looking at the Song Villain.

There were no emotions. There was only a little annoyance on his face.

He might be wondering why this man, no, this thing was in the temple.

It wasn’t an appropriate example, but it was understandable that indifference was scarier than malicious comments on internet posts.

-S-S-Sunset Swordsman?

-Get out of my face.

-I’m sorry?

-…

It seemed like he found it bothersome to talk any longer. I saw him slowly raising one arm.

‘What? Really? Will you really hit him? Are you trying to hit him? Hyunsung isn’t the type to solve things with violence.’

It wasn’t just a threat. Although he didn’t raise his sword, there was no guarantee that the bastard wouldn’t die if his fist hit him. No, I betted he’d cross the Jordan River.

‘You’ll really go that far?’

I didn’t know if I should stop him or watch the scene unfold. No, I didn’t know why that bastard was doing that in the first place.

Honestly, I felt happy.

‘I believe in you, damn it! Smash him! Do whatever you want to do!’

However, on the one hand, I became anxious. I had no choice but to shake my head about whether this would help Kim Hyunsung form the correct values.

The first time was hard. The second was easier. If one lived a happy life by smashing the guys who annoyed them, they were no longer heroes.

‘I know he’s annoying, but you can’t kill him. He just blocked the way.’

Our Hyunsung wasn’t a psychopath. He valued life.

No, that bastard might not even be aware that he would be killing someone. He might be thinking that he was just removing a stone that blocked the way.

‘Fuck, why should I worry about something like this?’

“Yes, fuck, show him! Hyunsung! Throw a strong Sunset Punch at his face!”

The back of Kim Hyunsung’s hand aimed for him in an instant. An inch before the Song Villain’s face suffered from his offensive, it stopped.

It wasn’t because Kim Hyunsung suddenly recognized him as a human.

I wasn’t sure if he realized that this place was still inside the temple, but he was looking back.

It was like he didn’t want to be caught by his parents doing bad things.

He seemed regretful, seemingly understanding that he did something that didn’t suit him, but his fist wouldn’t have touched Song Villain even if Kim Hyunsung hadn’t stopped.

That was because I saw someone blocking Kim Hyunsung’s arm.

“Chang-ryul… why did you stop him?”

-Please forgive my rudeness, Guild Master. However…

One of the few normal individuals left in the Blue Guild, Chang-ryul, was already climbing to the top, beyond the top adventurers…

Usually, I would have praised him for making such a smart move.

If Kim Hyunsung broke Sookyung’s head there, it would have caused multiple problems.

Honestly, it would’ve been a set procedure for the Blue Guild to be in trouble. It wasn’t as much as having many political problems to deal with, but it would be more likely that they would end up in a corner.

However, I didn’t want to say thank you.

‘It must have broken his arm.’

Kim Chang-ryul was an agile assassin, which meant his endurance and strength weren’t high, so his arm was probably screaming in pain by now.

His face was likely distorted behind the mask that he always wore.

-No, Chang-ryul. I almost made a mistake. On the grounds of the temple, no less… I almost made a mistake.

-No. I should’ve paid more attention, Guild Master. I should’ve limited the access to the temple better.

-I think you can see the guests off. I have somewhere to be right now. Then…

-As you desire.

-Blue Guild Master! I have something to say…

-If you don’t want to die, shut up, stupid bastard.

-What?

-I said shut up.

Once again, a harsh voice poured out of Kim Chang-ryul’s mouth, holding onto Song Sookyung, who was trying to stretch out his hand. Kim Chang-ryul also seemed to be in a hurry, seemingly recognizing that the situation was urgent.

Maybe it was because he looked into Kim Hyunsung’s eyes. It wasn’t like him, who always showed a rational appearance. It was by no means his usual behavior to swear at key officials of the New Continent Protection and Management Committee.

In the meantime, it seemed that that bastard wasn’t even aware that he almost died. The fact that he kept talking while his legs were trembling was admirable, but it wasn’t a wise move.

Kim Chang-ryul took Song Sookyung out of the way…

-Grass.

-…

-Do not step on the grass.

Kim Hyunsung finally left the site of the temple and was surrounded by the glow of the sunset. It was when he was just about to rise to the sky.

-D-Do you know that the kingdom of Eberia got destroyed?

-…

-The kingdom of Eberia is destroyed! The World Tree has been lost, and the kingdom has disappeared without a trace in the explosion! A new threat is coming! Plagues are spreading simultaneously on the continent, and there is an increasing number of mysterious disappearances. There’s a lot of chaos coming from the forces on the continent! The New Continental Protection and Management Committee is dedicated to defending the continent! I need the help of the Blue Guild Master! We are preparing to fight for the continent’s people. We are moving for a great cause!

-…

There was no way he couldn’t have heard his voice. Kim Hyunsung flapped his wings once again as if he wasn’t interested. However, I could see Kim Hyunsung looking behind him.

-This is the continent protected by the Honorary Cardinal!

‘You’re using my name there?’

Not a bad thought. It was an exquisite timing that was momentarily disconcerting.

However, it remained to be seen whether it had had a positive effect or a negative effect. I would bet on the latter.

Kim Hyunsung’s face was distorted. In an instant, his face was filled with anger and sadness, and energy that could only be expressed as hostility and rage poured out.

I didn’t know exactly what he was thinking, but I could see that Kim Hyunsung’s anger exploded momentarily. He might be thinking, ‘How dare you put my precious brother’s name in your mouth?’

Kim Chang-ryul also seemed to think that it was over now since it was out of his hands.

Kim Hyunsung’s eyes began to show blood veins, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, seemingly due to biting his lips too strong.

He would have just needed the right object to vent out his anger. Who could blame the person who stabbed my stomach?

-Ah… Uh…

Perhaps because of the murderous aura, his legs trembled, and he seemed admirable that he could open his mouth there.

-I-Isn’t… Isn’t this the continent that he had dedicated his life to protect?

-Shut up.

I had to admit that he had some guts.

‘But he stepped on a mine.’

-The continent that the Honorary Cardinal wants…

-You dare put his name in your mouth?

-W-We must protect the continent.

-You? How dare you! How dare you!

-The c-c-continent…

He kept talking, and that meant the pigpen ending was waiting for him. Hyunsung had to have been under a lot of stress these days. He needed to vent it out with something like this.

-Lee Kiyoung will be sad.

It was then that Kim Hyunsung stopped moving. I could see Song Sookyung crying.

-He must be sad. He may be grieving that the continent he has dedicated his life to is being threatened again and that the continent’s people will suffer once more.

‘Huh?’

-W-We… We have to defend it once again.

‘What? No, Hyunsung.’

-Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung would never want for the Sunset Swordsman to… turn his back to the continent.

‘Not really…’

-We need the power of the Sunset Swordsman to protect the continent…

-…

-For when the Honorary Cardinal returns…

-…

-We shouldn’t ruin… the continent that he loves.

He was grinding his teeth.

Kim Hyunsung slowly reached out to the guy who peed out of fear.

There was no hostility in the regressor’s face. Rather, it was an enlightened expression.

He was working on his own on the puzzle of why my statue shed blood tears.

‘Son of a bitch. Fuck.’

My annoyance began to rise.

I had once made an assumption that… if impurities came into contact with Kim Hyunsung, I would do my best to exclude those impurities.

I had once become anxious, thinking that some bastard was trying to take away the regressor I raised very carefully. Wasn’t that the reason why I was wary of Cho Hyejin at the beginning?

‘Fuck, my ass. God’s dignity, my ass.’

I thought it would be better to just kill him. That was the cleanest way.

Benignore’s advice was important, but I didn’t want to create a situation that could become complicated.

‘I did all the work, and you’ll get the results… I swallowed the bad parts, fuck, and you’ll eat all the delicious parts? I was stabbed in the stomach, and you’ll get all the good things?’

Where in the world was a situation as absurd as this? One man sowed, and a different man reaped?

Thinking that I had been working so hard until now, vomiting blood, grinding my teeth, for Song Sookyung’s happiness, my judgment began to twist. There was no more choice. That was the easiest way. Well, I just shouldn’t tell him directly to kill him, right? There was no such thing as a shortcut.

[He is the enemy of the Sunset Swordsman. He is the personification of the demon and the one who made me suffer. It’s painful, Sunset Swordsman. Please help me. It’s… It’s so painful…]

I just needed to say that.

However, I could see him reaching out to Song Sookyung with both hands, unshaken.

‘What?’

It was an incomprehensible behavior. Didn’t he hear my voice?

[He is our enemy.]

‘What… What?’

[Can you hear my voice, Sunset Swordsman?]

‘Huh…’

[Hyunsung. Can you hear…]

I could see that Kim Hyunsung held the hand of the Song guy and raised his body.

[Hyunsung, can you hear my voice?]

-May I listen to it in a little more detail?

I was shocked. My voice couldn’t reach Kim Hyunsung.

I didn’t know why, but… There was something wrong with the Regressor Instruction Manual.

-We have reserved a suitable place so we can talk. I will guide you. Oh! I think I should introduce myself again. Blue Guildmaster, my name is Song Sookyung.

-…

-I’m Song Sookyung… from The New Continent Protection and Management Committee. I… really wanted to meet you.
