chapter 93
EP.93 EP4. Twisted Destiny (1)
A sledgehammer too heavy for even an adult male to wield.
However, even if the weapon was aiming for a shortcut, if you look at the level alone, it is more durable than A-class.
It would be impossible to break the body with a blunt weapon with only a small amount of superhuman force, no matter how many times you repeat it.
– Perk!!
It will be enough to teach you to swing your fist.
With a fist that didn’t even put a superhuman force into it.
“why.”
Watching him fall miserably even with such weak fists, I felt a part of my heart grow heavy.
What the hell is this fight?
I thought I could judge the great evil now, and even though I came to interfere, Idaji repeatedly fell down horribly.
“With a body like that, why are you fighting a meaningless fight?”
Even so, the way he stood up desperately was as if he was claiming that he was right.
You are a weak person who believes in yourself that you are not wrong and rushes to fight with no hope. Isn’t it as if you are oppressing the weak with force?
“At that time, I saved the children… … . Was it just acting?”
Such conflict was bound to intensify because he trusted him.
In the way he blocked the front of the beast with his weak body, he saw the side of his hero.
“Your daughter… … . Moa, do you know what kind of person you are?”
Seriously, because I trusted the man who fought the beast to save the child.
I hoped that such courage and a sense of justice would be used elsewhere other than on the battlefield.
“It’s meaningless, damn… … .”
Nevertheless, he only raises his body, which is nothing more than rags.
So I just kept repeating what I had been doing until now.
If you can breathe, you breathe; if you can move, you move.
Even at this moment, the joint of the broken arm was forcibly fitted, and the pain from the crack could not stop him.
“If you are weak… … .”
Even though such struggles may seem trivial and insignificant, Vanguard had no choice but to watch it.
“If you’re weak, shouldn’t you be standing on the battlefield?”
Because he was in the position of such a weak person.
Realizing that limit, it seemed that he was making fun of himself, who had no choice but to crave power, at this moment in his attitude.
“… … What?”
“If you have time to gossip.”
– Koo!
“Shut up, let’s jump… … !”
A man who taps the floor with a hammer and approaches him again.
However, the body has already lost all its strength.
He couldn’t even lift the hammer he was holding in his hand, and he was dragging himself to the floor.
Even so, the poison was still peeking out from the eyes under the envelope.
‘This sleeper.’
I don’t understand that look.
No matter how hard he tried to understand, the path he had taken was clearly telling him that his actions were wrong.
‘Is this person not even aware that weakness is a sin?’
Yeah, wasn’t that something you’ve been realizing all along?
You can’t achieve anything with persistence alone. can’t keep anything
Even after sacrificing this one body, the only ones who survived to the end were the dead comrades and the victims who died without being saved.
And for those left behind, the surviving warriors are only the object of resentment.
‘Weak is… … . That in itself is not worthy to stand on the battlefield.’
I’ve been feeling it myself, so I’ve always longed for power.
He struggled like crazy to escape from his weak birth.
‘Dude, do you want strength?’
However, it was not until later that he found out that even the opportunity he managed to seize was the result of an affair.
He is gradually realizing the injustice that occurred before he acquired that power, so he cannot erase the fact that the man in front of him is denying him.
He is the weakest villain who rushes to justice, who has reached out to affair, even if he lacks power.
‘Still, I… … . I… … .’
While hesitating in such a conflict, the hammer in his hand reached Vanguard’s chest.
It’s too late to notice, immersed in thought too deeply.
But that wouldn’t mean much.
– Kwaduk!!
As if to break such preconceived notions, as soon as his hammer hit his body, a crushing sound rang out.
“……!?”
It’s not just because I’ve been exposed to a big shock.
Pain followed by noise.
The body that was pushed away with him was teaching him that the current attack was different from before.
Yes, the defense has been breached.
‘why?’
The first time I felt my doubts was the moment my body was lying on the floor.
As I looked down at the painful part, I noticed that blood was slowly leaking from the bottom of the bike suit.
“No matter how hard you are, you end up with a human body.”
As the bleeding from the bursting was dripping down his waist, the man holding the hammer said in a bloody voice.
“If you put it on and try again, it will break someday.”
‘this… … !’
Vanguard realizes his negligence belatedly.
In fact, on his chest right now, he still had the wounds he had suffered from the riots in District D.
He knew that, so he used a hammer to attack only the weak part all the time.
“Yeah, it’s a small gap… … !”
Vanguard, feeling the urgency, takes a leap forward.
There was no way he could dodge the current attack, only standing still.
see now Isn’t that body just standing still, suppressing the stumble?
-Pudder!
However, what happened the moment the fist was swung was a movement that far exceeded expectations.
The axis of the broken leg was twisted to such an extent that it could not be returned to a human joint, and it was able to dodge its own attack exquisitely.
– Whoa!
And the movement doesn’t stop there.
At that moment, the returned axis returns to its original state and exerts elasticity, and that force doubles the force of the hammer and is swung precisely toward the target’s head.
– Kwaang!!
The moment that soul-centered blow hit his face, the white mask worn by Vanguard ripped apart and pushed his head back.
The lens on the mask shattered, and drops of blood from the torn forehead hid his vision.
Severe headache felt in the head.
This is to teach you that the current blow inflicts considerable damage on you.
“… … It’s not something a bastard who can’t kill even after making a tight crack.”
“Ouch!!”
The moment he took a step backwards, unable to overlook the shock, Vanguard’s twisted head barely began to turn towards him.
With a body that was more messed up than himself who was suffering from excruciating pain.
Still, towards the corpse-shaped man who was still approaching him.
‘How the hell… … .’
It is an injury that has no sagging anywhere on the body and it will take a long time to fully recover.
At best, a body that can only move.
Nevertheless, the appearance of rushing like a reckless one was beyond his stamina, and he felt even madness.
‘What the hell is it that makes that man stand up like that?’
Do you really think you can beat yourself?
No, it’s impossible to do something like that just by winning.
Seeing the end of what has already begun
That was the only thing that mattered to him.
Whether he wins or loses or lives or not, he will continue to attack as long as he is alive.
‘Among the way, in dealing with… … . There is no end.’
The moment the strength returned to the fist that I had been putting up with all along.
– Koo!
A hammer was once again struck in the body of such a Vanguard, but unlike before, the guard who blocked it by throwing a negligent guard completely blocked his attack.
However, the attack does not flow as lightly as before.
The shock received by his arm at this moment was circulated in his body in response to the ‘another gift’ he had, creating a torrent of physical force.
– Paz!
As the red lightning that started to rise due to the phenomenon lit up the dark warehouse, Vanguard’s opposite hand, which focused on the power boiling in my body, was aimed at the opponent.
and swing it
– Aww!!!
A vast amount of power was released through his fists, and then exploded with the momentum to crush everything in front of him.
Reflective Armor. A ‘reflex’ ability that absorbs the shock received by the body, amplifies it through super-gravity, and radiates it back to the outside.
The greater the shock received, the greater the power, and the Vanguard had stored all the shocks it had received so far in its hardened body.
Even hammering, which is too heavy to pierce through the upper, accumulates, and the power that cannot be ignored will come out.
– Whoop, boom!
Everything in the warehouse where the shock had spread came crashing down, and there was only silence in the place where he was standing.
But even so, the disaster still remains.
The sight of blood and flesh spread throughout the warehouse and everything that makes up the human body was separated and spread out, and it was disgusting to those who did not have tolerance.
“Wow… … .”
Afraid to see it, Vanguard put his hand on my mouth and complained of nausea.
yes, that’s what he did
The weak person who had been desperately running towards it before.
The man who ran as if denying his existence was knocked down with his own hands.
“I… …”
Why?
Even though he was the only one who had conquered many villains with this hand, and accepted all of them humbly.
The catastrophe that occurred at this moment could not be taken lightly.
Did this really happen?
Was it possible to defeat the weak man who had rushed with all his might just because it was more difficult to face him like this?
‘Then you teach me the answer. Of the tens of thousands of children who died without knowing anything, the only surviving child escaped into the abyss of evil, avoiding the heroes who were pursuing him…’
‘Do you think that a child who understands evil there, adapts to it, and becomes an adult… will be able to repent of the mistakes he has committed?’
At least like that woman.
That man may have had a story of choosing this path too.
It might also be his role to listen to such stories.
“… I was not wrong.”
But regretting the past is only a hindrance to the future.
If the author is a villain, it is even more so.
Even if you don’t, you have to convince yourself.
“I, for justice… … .”
Vanguard, who comforted himself in that way, quietly turned his back from the warehouse.
It was at that moment that the miracle happened.
– Damn it.
the sound of breaking flesh.
Feeling a chill in his spine, both of Vanguard’s legs froze on the spot.
Something happened from behind. Already his whole body is shattered, he is causing something.
– Thing blah, blah blah.
However, he could not immediately turn his back to respond.
In the present where even breathing has stopped, all he could do was turn his head, which had hardened as if being pressed by scissors, toward the background.
-Tzuzu, that’s right.
A terrifying squeaking noise in my ears. The sight of the flesh gathered around him converging and building a shape was something he had never seen before in his life.
No matter how powerful the regenerative powers were, all the body organs were completely separated.
Even if the gift is applied separately from medical death, the previous attack was an ability that was impossible to regenerate even for those with regenerative abilities who had reached S-class.
At best, it’s normal for the regenerative powers to arise and cling to each other without realizing it, and that power should soon run out and turn into a corpse.
“what. That’s… … .”
Nevertheless, his body was slowly regenerating even at this moment.
No, is that really a phenomenon that can be called regeneration?
– Thump, thump.
A heart that rises from the middle of the warehouse.
It had lost all parts of its body and was still pulsating at this moment.
Spreading a thrill through the black threads that followed.
– Churruk, Chureuk.
The flesh pieces connected with such a thread tremble in line with the pulsation, and they start to clump together.
As if trying to build the original body.
– Dude!
No, it is a phenomenon far from returning to the original place.
It just sticks to the closest flesh whenever possible. Even if it were a reaction to the reckless grouping, the trembling of the gathered flesh and the connected threads is getting stronger.
The unidentified skein that swells up like that is growing in size and growing to fill the room before long.
“What the hell is going on… … . Will?”
What was built at the end was a shadow that could not even be in the form of a human.
Although it was a dark warehouse where no light was introduced, it made me realize that an existence that transcends cognition has appeared only with its silhouette.
The phenomenon of not being able to understand English.
But Vanguard instinctively realized one thing.
At this moment, something that had been dormant in his body had awakened here in response to his death.
Even though he deviated from his human form, it was as if he was trying to keep his existence in this world somehow.
***
And still, the time of the moonlit night.
“boss. That’s me.”
As I was sitting on my bed and staring at the window, I heard a voice coming from the door of the hotel room where I was staying.
Gray Anatomy.
A third loyal vassal of himself, a ferocious wild dog whose loyalty sometimes reveals it to other vassals.
“… … Come in.”
But, as always, the voice calling him was so calm.
Even if he harmed the one he cherished.
Even that was nothing to call a ‘sin’ compared to what he had committed.
