Chapter 807: The Last (40)

-I think he has arrived, Jung Hayan. How about leaving the field to the Guild Master and taking a break? You haven’t had proper sleep in a few days…

-Ah… Okay…

-You should also say goodnight to the Vice Guild Master.

-Yes. I h-have to cast magic spells again first. W-Wait a minute, Sora.

-Yes. No rush. I’ll…

I thought that the situation was better on Jung Hayan’s side.

‘What should I do with Hyunsung?’

After entering the house, I saw Jung Hayan looking down on me.

Of course, nothing happened with my old body. It was treated to prevent corruption in the first place, and in fact, it wasn’t easily corrupted even without such magic treatment.

It didn’t seem warm, but it didn’t look stiff or hard. My skin was probably soft, and… at one glance, it felt alive because various spells were still being maintained.

Despite being told that Kim Hyunsung and Park Deokgu were coming, she cast magic spells several times due to her still feeling uneasy.

After applying various curses and spells, I saw her quietly stroking my cheeks.

After looking around a bit, she kissed me quietly, and I saw her giggling for no reason.

‘She’s a little weird as usual, but…’

She seemed healthy, at least…

I wondered if it was right to express that as healthy, but the urgently administered sedatives seemed to work. Seeing her in a stable state that was impossible to achieve before, I felt strange for being anxious just now.

-Yes. Sora unnie. The Guild Master is currently being informed of the situation.

-Really?

-Yes. The damage situation is being compiled, but in fact, there was no actual damage… Seeing that there’s no destruction in the guild warehouse or other places, we can judge that the enemies were aiming for the Vice Guild Master.

-It’s the worst. Jung Hayan will probably come out soon. Report the situation to Hyunsung and when you’re done, contact me.

-Yes, Sora unnie.

-S-Sora? I’m here.

-Then… Please, Ms. Park Li-ahn.

-What?

-Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Park Li-ahn.

-Ah… Yes… Yes… Ms. Sora…

-Are you all done with your business, Jung Hayan?

-Uh… Yes… just now…

-Ah. It’s nothing. I just received a report from her. Shall we go?

She was indeed mentally healthy because she had an effective sedative.

It felt like she was crossing a thin ice board or traveling through a single rope, but it was okay to assume that while Han Sora was holding it firmly, there was little possibility that Jung Hayan would cause the same trouble as before.

Of course, I didn’t know how things would go wrong. Considering that there was a risk to Hayan herself, it was still too early to let my guard down, but…

‘It’s meaningful.’

When I recalled that there were no major accidents even after I died in the first place, I judged that the odds of Jung Hayan making extreme choices were slim.

On the contrary, Kim Hyunsung was the one that was the problem.

‘…’

Danger signals continuously flooded into me through the Regressor Instruction Manual. Kim Hyunsung’s mental health was on the verge of collapse.

I would be grateful if Cho Hyejin could follow Han Sora’s rules, but even that wasn’t possible.

As I turned my gaze quietly, I saw Kim Hyunsung’s stiff face.

He looked serious while having a conversation with Park Deokgu and Hwang Jeong-yeon.

-Well, it’s obvious that they were aiming for hyung-nim.

-Is that so?

-It’s suspicious that there is no damage to other facilities… I don’t know why they’re aiming for him, but Jeong-yeon… said that hyung-nim has some value now. It’s not strange at all, considering his body is one with great divine power, but a crazy situation like this… I never thought this would happen. I don’t know who the crazy bastards that thought of doing this are.

-…

-Even after interrogation, nothing was revealed, and it seems like they got the request indirectly…

He spoke carefully.

-There is a possibility that it is from the black market.

-You mean…

-Yes, Guild Master. I think I’ve seen one of the ones that invaded. If my memory is clear, it was probably the black market from the Republic. I have to delve deeper into this further, but…

-Is there any reason for them to aim for his body?

-About that… I’m cautious about saying this, but if they’re aiming for financial gain or the power residing in the Vice Guild Master, there… there will be no means to get it other than the black market.

She glanced at Kim Hyunsung, whose complexion was getting darker.

It felt as if he was forcibly suppressing the anger rising from within. In fact, I understood that he felt that the world betrayed him.

‘He really will stop trusting humans. Seriously, who will Hyunsung depend on if it goes on like this? The world is too much. It went too far this time.’

I could affirm that if this situation persisted a little longer, he would be suspicious of and doubt everyone. Maybe he would think there wasn’t anything worth saving other than me.

He was the hero who saved the continent by forcefully carrying the unbearable burden but didn’t he have to do it regardless of his own will?

He had to for the sense of responsibility, the requests, and the aspirations of the most important person to him.

The continent, the humanity that he saved, was treating the body of that individual as an item and was attempting to trade it in the black market… I couldn’t imagine how great of a betrayal he would feel. He might be in so much anguish that he would laugh.

Did the Son of Light have to be sacrificed just to protect such people? Did Kiyoung have to die for their sake? I was certain he would constantly be questioning if he really had to endure such painful times to save such garbage.

As expected, he seemed dispirited. While suppressing his rage, he looked like he felt a sense of terrible disillusionment about the continent’s evil spirits and humans.

-Isn’t it related to the anomaly happening on the continent right now?

-I’ll have to investigate that too, but… I think the odds are slim. Wouldn’t it be better to assume them as those who know the situation of the continent well? The fact that this happened when the Guild Master was away…

-…

-They are too systematically trained to say that it is an action taken by the black market… The possibility that large guilds are involved at the metropolitan level cannot be ignored. If Hayan conducts a proper investigation tomorrow, there probably would be results, but as of right now, it’s hard to draw conclusions. We have to be careful. The continent is in a confusing situation, after all. I think it would be better to join the investigation with Hayan tomorrow… Would it be okay?

-I actually wanted to ask that from you. Please go ahead.

-Hyung-ssi…

-As of the current time, we will adjust the guild’s security level.

-I knew you’d say that. Then…

-Yes. You can judge that there is no difference from being in a state of war. Anyone without permission is assumed to be an intruder. I would like you to tell this to the guild members so that they can kill anyone immediately. The investigation of the black market… Chang-ryul… yes…I will tell you more about it in the conference room tomorrow.

-Okay.

-And… Thank you.

-…

-…

-Well, what are you thanking me for? You’re not the only one who wants to protect hyung-nim… It was Hayan who ultimately blocked the front of the mortuary. Actually, it’s like I didn’t even do anything. Anyway, cheer up. There is no need to blame yourself. You can’t always protect hyung-nim, and that’s why we should also be strong.

-Thank you.

-Anyway, you must be tired after coming a long way. I have to sort out the rest of the situation as well, so as you said, we should talk in detail tomorrow…

-Okay.

Seemingly noticing that Kim Hyunsung was becoming hectic, Deokgu patted him on the shoulder. If he got angry, he might not have sent such comfort. As such, the reaction that Kim Hyunsung was currently showing seemed dangerous.

-Hah… haha…

After Park Deokgu and Hwang Jeong-yeon disappeared, he looked at the ground while laughing self-mockingly.

-Hah… Ha…

He didn’t even have tears in his eyes. A blank pupil stood out.

While the guild staff and guild members were taking care of the situation, he kept laughing as if to insult himself.

-…

‘It’s just before the time bomb explodes…’

It seemed that he wasn’t expressing his anger aggressively like Doom Hyunsung. Still, he was gradually accumulating it.

When I recalled that that kind was scarier than pouring such emotions out openly, I became unsure how far the small ball that the Song Villain shot would go.

‘He should have done better on the first try.’

Of course, I also thought that he didn’t prepare poorly. He invested a lot of resources.

If it were an operation against a huge common guild, they would have had enough room to work. Cho Hyejin, who could be considered the second in command of the guild, and the final boss, Kim Hyunsung, weren’t present.

The only factors that the Song Villain didn’t consider were that the Blue Guild was far from the ordinary and that he couldn’t assume that roles were meaningless against a wizard who had already crossed their limits.

‘If he only knew that Hayan was at a league high enough to fight Heera, he wouldn’t have done this.’

All he probably thought was that my body would be kept in a safe place and that our wizard could only use wide-ranged magic.

Only one wizard crossed the wall in the continent, so it was at least understandable that they lacked information. However, their attack on the Blue dungeon became even more difficult due to the balls thrown by those bastards, seeming in an attempt to test them.

Maybe a lot of things would change from tomorrow.

Jung Hayan’s magic on my body was also important, but the fact that the security level had been increased to a level similar to wartime defenses would create many differences.

Needless to say, I was worried about what choice Kim Hyunsung would make…

If he became distrustful of humanity and set his foot on a strange option, My plan to seize my body would probably turn to dust.

‘I’m so close.’

I hadn’t fully held onto that stock yet, but it wasn’t easy to let go of it as it showed possibilities of soaring. It was the same as what happened with Raphael. Belial was selling medicine next to me, so I didn’t feel like this judgment was wrong.

‘I think I need to cheer him up.’

-Kiyoung… What am I supposed to do? What… in the world… am I… supposed to do?

The way he was sitting down in front of my corpse was heartbreaking.

‘Our Hyunsung is having a very hard time. He deserves to be happy soon… The world keeps giving Hyunsung a hard time. Seriously… It’s the world’s fault.’

-I don’t know what you want to protect or what you want. In this situation, I… Ha… haha… I already knew that it was meaningless behavior… Kiyoung… Unlike what you think, the continent… the humans are not clean. It may not be worth it… I know that’s a denial of your sacrifice. However… However… I don’t know what to do in this situation. I don’t know what to expect.

‘You have to wake up. A hero shouldn’t be doing this.’

Since Kim Hyunsung was expecting my voice, It was obvious what I had to say.

Originally, the true light…

No matter how hard it was, even when doubts rose, it was meant to sing human hymns.

“Not all humans are evil, Sunset Swordsman.”
