chapter 72
72 – Four Steps, Truly
If you face the end by a hero, how would you like to die?
A long time ago. So, around the time I never thought it would last this damn long.
Rion had once had such a happy imagination as she sat on the throne.
Can you say that you suffered? It must have been difficult to get here.
Should I say thank you? It’s true that you freed me from this boring place.
Otherwise… Do you really want to scream like a boss? Will you be angry with me?
Anything is fine. It’s the end befitting a boss monster. I guess that wouldn’t be too bad.
It won’t be long before a hero comes in through that door and he’ll take care of it!
‘… Okay. There was a time like that. Crazy bastard.’
If only I could go back to that time, I wanted to slap my head in the past for thinking like that.
An asshole coming in right away. It took 100 years to get one. 100 Years.
Ha ha ha. Leon laughed. No, he was trying to laugh. But the sound that came out was not laughter.
“Oops… Kwu-“
It was broken very well. Blood and something black poured out of his open chest.
A normal person would have lost his life long ago. But he’s holding on because he’s not human.
And it’s even more painful and I feel like I’m going crazy because I’m holding on.
Looking at Enlil. She was a woman who couldn’t even lay her hands on her until just half a year ago. She
She was wondering when she would free herself from this terrible curse.
Now he was standing in front of himself as a warrior who killed the boss.
Sabak―
Enlil, who took a step forward, blankly looked down at Leon.
She is also seriously injured. It is said that she avoided it by a piece of paper, but it is slander.
Therefore, she has to reduce her movements as much as possible so that she can return alive.
Pu-wook!―
“Kkeuk-“
The sword in Enlil’s hand pierces Leon’s body with a terrifying sound.
It wasn’t long before a black blade grew behind his back! And came out
“I said.”
“….”
“As painful as possible… I will kill you.”
As he roughly pulled out the sword, blood and black energy came out violently once again.
It’s a body made to feel as little pain as possible, but there’s nothing I can do about the sword cutting through my body.
“Ke-heo-eok!”
An unbearable scream erupts from between the parted lips.
Crying, dark red blood flowed down her chin down her throat.
If something that should stay inside comes out here, there is only one result.
It’s over. She’s the one she’s been waiting for so long. She’s right in front of her.
“Not yet.”
But it seemed that Enlil had no intention of letting Leon go like this.
Poouk- Puk-
Standing in front of it, not a hero, but a vengeful demon.
Enlil once, twice, three times… She continued to stab Leone like that endlessly.
Reason told me to stop now. I scream that this is not enough.
But he didn’t stop. No, he couldn’t stop. Otherwise, I can’t handle this anger.
I thought that if I quit now, I would accept what I did as reason.
“Keuk. Oops.”
And Leone didn’t even try to stop her or tell her to stop.
There was no sign of trying to hold on to the sword or even showing slight resistance.
I just silently allow the sword to keep creeping into my body.
I was fatally wounded anyway. Survival is now impossible.
But I’m going to hold out for a little while. It’s possible. Leon tried to reduce even that.
I was afraid that I would say something stupid while slowly disappearing in front of Enlil for no reason.
“I won.”
Poo-wook- Puff!-
“I won. That i won From you playing with me, I won.”
Puff, Puff, Puff—
“It’s over. This nightmare, this lie, the pretense, the hatred, everything.”
I don’t even have a place to poke anymore. His tattered body became minced meat.
The fact that he was still alive was entirely possible because he was not human.
“Ha ha ha—”
Rather, Enlil, who stabbed Leon, gets tired first and collapses as it is.
She’s also been seriously injured and she’s overworked.
Isn’t blood constantly flowing from the area where Leon swept it?
“… N, Lil.”
The boss monster, who had been silently accepting the warrior’s sword until now, slowly opened his mouth.
“Stop, move. If you move more, it will be fatal to you too… Knock off.”
Once again, a blue sword burrowed deep into Leon’s body.
This time, he was very determined, but he turns his knob round and round and digs through the inside properly.
It’s a fatal blow. His body, which was barely holding on, can no longer stand it and collapses.
“Ha ha ha… shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up.”
“Don’t be stubborn. Your body… Really dangerous….”
“Why did you do that? Why. Why why. Why.”
“….”
“What about me… why the hell… Why did you do that, Leon?”
Isn’t it a bit like asking after making well-minced meat?
Leone, who was about to say that jokingly, saw Enlil and bit her lip.
It seemed like I couldn’t part with this woman forever, laughing.
“….”
“That was sincere. By the way….”
It becomes a conflict. It worries me like crazy. Shall I just tell the truth?
It’s all over now. It’s really the last one. I’ll never see you again
It might be better for them to explain directly here….
‘… No, no. Wake. Crazy bastard.’
Why did she arrange her herself? Why did she keep hiding herself until now?
To tell the truth here? Then. So, is there anything that gets better?
On the contrary, it only gets worse. I can’t do anything more, it’s just broken.
How can I overcome that shock? Even if you go crazy, it’s not enough and you stay.
If you hear the question she asks, can Enlil be as she, even after hearing her truth.
After much thought, Leone calmly answered, “It will be difficult.”
Because she is that kind of person. She’s obviously going to try to look behind her.
“Obvious, sounds… You do.”
One more time. Just one more time. Okay. Just one last time.
“Because it was fun.”
Laughing. Like a boss, like a non-human being, laughing with madness.
Make sure she doesn’t stretch out her hand to herself. To get her back to where she needs to go.
“I enjoyed it. And you had fun too. Then… Isn’t that what happened?”
Hearing that, Enlil’s expression collapsed in an instant.
Every little bit of her, even the slightest bit of hope she had in her, is drying up.
And the only thing that took her place was the anger she barely suppressed.
“I am of the tower. Cool. Is the owner The boss who will destroy this world… Was You were a warrior to save the world. I was faithful to it… That’s enough… What more remains between us?”
I ended up spitting it out. Even at the very last moment of the last moment, he gnaws at the egg.
But what can I do? Even if you come and tell the truth, nothing will change.
No one knows what will happen as a result of that, so how can you take an adventure?
So we have to break up now. We must go each other’s way.
I was a boss monster, so I’ll end it like a boss. You were a warrior, so end it like a warrior.
The hero finally defeats the boss, saves the world, and lives happily with everyone’s praise.
Unfortunately, he was dragged here and forced to become the boss, and he returns to the world again.
It is better to accept such a simple, obvious, and boring ending.
Sereung―
Enlil pulled the sword out of Leon’s body again and stood up staggeringly.
“Really… Is that, is that all? Is that all?”
“Then, what more… I want you to tell me if you want.”
“Ha. hahahaha. Ha ha ha….”
I’m laughing, but I’m not laughing. It sounds like an empty soul is crying out.
Every time I heard it, Leone felt like my soul was being cut away, driving me crazy.
“… Thank you.”
The two hands that held the sword gave strength as if they would be torn apart.
Sadness, lingering feelings, and memories that I had until the very end. Putting it all at the end.
The hero decided to say goodbye to the world’s boss monster.
“For remaining a son of a b*tch until the end.”
No stars. The answer could not come out of Leon’s mouth.
Puffy!― Ugh, Jiggly!―
A tsunami strikes at the candle that was all extinguished. A huge storm sweeps through.
For a moment, I thought my vision would become blurry, but then my body collapsed backwards on its own.
An irresistible drowsiness sets in. The endless suma is coming.
“Ah.”
I see. It was like this. It felt like this.
The end I wanted so badly was like this.
Over 100 years, the last thing I desperately wanted.
The hope of finally being able to return to the original place.
The freedom that has finally been released from this long darkness.
That’s why you have to be happy, you have to be relieved, but you can’t do that.
‘Hello, Enlil. Hi. My warrior.’
Because those last words that couldn’t be finished were lingering in her heart.

One day another full moon came. The tower that held the lifeline of the world collapsed.
And all the warriors who bravely jumped into the tower survived safely.
