Episode 123. The End of the War (1)
Even the heavens are indifferent.
If a fire breaks out in a 21st century apartment building, most residents will survive.
This is because apartments these days are well-equipped with fire alarms and sprinklers.
The apartment where Jaehee lived was the same.
But this story doesn't apply to people with disabilities.
After the fire broke out, most of the residents escaped.
Except for one person.
“… … .”
Burning apartment.
Black smoke rising.
Busy firefighters.
Residents watching from a distance.
The police officers who control them.
A few ambulances.
Jin Jae-hee sat down in front of it.
Not even tears came out.
My father… … . My father’s leg hurts… … . He can’t walk properly… … . In case of a fire, the elevator doesn’t work… … . How did he get down from the 15th floor with his sore leg… … .
how…….
And during that time, I was drinking alcohol… … .
Ho-seung, Cheol-ho, and Min-ji ran to Jae-hee.
And tried to wake her up.
They were all sobbing.
“Jaehee! Jaehee! Wake up!”
“Jaehee… …! Jaehee… …!”
“Wake up… … !”
“Eww… …! F**k, seriously!!!!”
“This isn’t it! F**k!!!”
“Jaehee… … ! Jaehee… … !!!”
“fu*k, what’s wrong with the world!!! Why, are you only doing this to him!!! Why!!!”
“Jaehee… … . Jin Jaehee… … .”
The sobbing friends tried to drag Jaehee's body backwards.
Because the fire became more intense.
Jaehee's friends were crying in deep sorrow and loss.
But Jaehee couldn't do anything, his body still stretched out.
When faced with an unbelievable reality, I felt no emotion at all.
Jaehee couldn't say anything and could only be at a loss.
Until the firefighters came running and dragged Jaehee out.
She could only look at the burning apartment.
“What are you doing?! Get out of here!”
As he was being dragged away by the firefighters, Jaehee finally burst into tears.
I cried out in sorrow as I looked at the front door of the apartment building engulfed in flames.
"……dad."
Shaking his head.
“Dad… … . No.”
Reach out and reach out.
“Dad… … . Dad, no… … .”
The field of vision was already filled with tears.
“Ah, I said no… … !!! No! No! No! No!!! Daddy… … ! Gyaaaaah… … ! Aaaah… … ! Aaaahhhhhh!!!”
He threw a tantrum like a baby.
* * *
“Phew… … . Phew… … . Phew… … .”
This place is filled with tens of thousands of cellular corpses.
Jin Jae-hee was out of breath.
The silver light of Jaehee standing above it slowly faded.
The silver-colored hair gradually changed color and turned black.
The power of Awakening 2 has run out.
“… … .”
Phew! Pfft!
Jaehee stabbed the cells rushing in from the front, and turned and struck the cells approaching from behind with his elbow.
Hundreds of cells have already been cut down and fell by Jaehee.
In the end, it was solved by force.
She also felt more comfortable with strength than she thought.
Besides, if there was something in the battle that he 'could not overcome', Zion would have said so in advance.
But Zion just told Jaehee to hurry.
That is, there is no such thing as an insurmountable obstacle.

Jaehee had strong trust in Zion.
Kang Si-on is the one who always comes up with the right answer, so all he has to do is follow that answer.
There was nothing to think about.
His role is to protect him, support him, and ultimately win this league.
Unfulfilled wishes.
In the end, it's something that happens after the world is turned back.
In his previous life, Jaehee poured out a lot of emotions.
Even if I came back to it now and thought about it again, I could bear it.
Kwuuuuk… … .
Jaehee gripped the sword handle tightly.
So that the veins on the back of your hand appear.
Soon her two hands were stretched straight up.
An enormous amount of power began to gather in the holy sword, and soon it began to glow more intensely than the light of the sun.
“Kaaaaaaah… … !”
“Ahhhhhhh!”
“Hhhh… … Haaa… … !”
Park Ji-soo's cells were desperate to hide from the light.
At the moment when all his strength had gathered, Jaehee swung his sword blade down.
Every inch of flesh that the blade touched split in two like the Red Sea.
Cookies, cookies …
The divine light began to engulf the cells.
With a single blow, mountains of all the cells there fell like dominoes.
“… … .”
Jin Jae-hee flew forward again without even a moment's rest.
It wasn't even a big deal to cut down the first weakness.
The second weakness was even easier to exploit.
From the third weakness onwards, it was as easy as cutting down the puppets.
The more she cut, the stronger she became.
From the moment she cut her fourth weakness, there was nothing that could restrain her in this physical prison for even a second.
From the fifth weakness onwards, the cells gave up and became at a loss.
When I hit the sixth weak point, they actually opened up a path for me.
Faced with the fear, he forgot his own duties and was busy hiding it in various parts of his body.
Her swordsmanship was the pinnacle of elegance.
Hands, waist, shoulders, chest, and legs.
The movement of the body from a curve to a straight line is something that no one can imitate.
Light and elegant like a swan's feather.
Sometimes merciless and intense like a tiger's teeth.
He mercilessly cut down every cell that rushed at him, without missing a single one.
Blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
Not just swordsmanship, but all physical combat.
She has mastered Systema on her own since she was young, by following along on YouTube because it looked fun, including kendo, judo, taekwondo, muay thai, and boxing.
If it's exercise, then exercise.
If it's combat skills, then combat skills.
Jaehee's whole body was a weapon.
Even after Awakening 2 ended, she was still the strongest.
She let out a deep breath she had been holding.
"after-."
She held her breath for a moment, and with each exhalation she matched her breathing to that of battle.
After all, fighting is also a series of physical movements, so breathing is important.
Having studied kendo since childhood and honed her attack skills over decades of fighting monsters, her attack skills are beyond human.
Two silver swords extended above her shoulders, following her crossed hands.
The blood that the cells shed oxidized and scattered as soon as it touched the Holy Sword.
The regressor is an overwhelming transcendent being.
He has already become a being that surpasses humans since he was reincarnated into the past.
Now, what she had to overcome was a higher-dimensional being.
Not just these mediocre punks.
The last seventh weakness.
Jin Jae-hee cut it without hesitation.
* * *
“Coolook… …! Coolook!”
I struggled and stumbled sideways.
I didn't have the strength left to even lift a hand, but that didn't mean I could let my guard down.
This is Park Ji-soo's territory, and she is still alive.
A single silver sword that Jin Jae-hee had left behind was spinning around the shield.
It was a skill that automatically attacked targets set by the caster as enemies.
Maybe he was worried about me.
I raised my head with difficulty and looked at Park Ji-soo.
“Huhhhhh… … . Huhhhhhh… … .”
She was sitting on the floor, sobbing, her shoulders shaking.
At that moment, Park Ji-soo began to breathe irregularly.
And with his bloodshot eyes, he looked at me, shedding tears of blood and coughing up gore.
“… … You are useless.”
She continued to speak.
“… … How could you do that to me?”
“… … You shouldn’t do that.”
“… … We share more memories and recollections than family now?”
“… … But why did you betray me?”
“… … What is something like you?”
“You’re making me… … fall into despair like this.”
“No. It can’t be.”
“I have a manager.”
“Where are you… … ?”
“K… … ?”
Park Ji-soo was cursing me in despair.
I carefully raised my upper body.
As I stretched out my hand, the Silver Star Sword, which had been spinning rapidly, slowly slowed down and fell into my grasp.
There was a little bit of resistance, but I soon got used to it.
Whoosh-. Whoosh-.
I got used to the feeling by swinging my sword diagonally.
It wasn't bad.
The sword was light and sharp.
And then I looked at Park Ji-soo again.
Her body was twisting.
At first, small bubbles tried to tear through the skin, but soon a giant hand stretched out from his back.
“I’m going to kill you too. I decided it. What I decide will happen. Do you understand? Because I… … . I… … . am the main character. The only one in this world. That’s what I said… … . K!!!!!!”
Push-!
Then, again, a giant arm sprouted from his back.
“Gyaaaah! Aaaahhhhh! K… … . K… … ! You said you’d give me anything I want, right? You’re listening! Answer me! K!!! You said you’d make me. The protagonist… … . The one and only… … . protagonist in this league!!!!!!! Gyaaaah!”
Pushuut-!!!
Every time her arms sprouted, Park Ji-soo screamed in pain.
Blood gushed out like water from a dam that had been released.
The blood rushed over me like a wave, but dispersed around the shield.
She was no longer in human form.
A grotesquely twisted fleshy monster.
It had grown as large as an ogre, with squirming skin, muscles, and bones stretching out everywhere.
Two eyes buried in the flesh were looking down at me.
“K… … !”
Boohoo-!
The bastard raised his hand and slammed the shield.
But the shield did not budge.
Instead, the palm of the one who struck was pierced in a circle.
“K… … ! Answer me… … ! You promised… … !”
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Now he started hitting me indiscriminately.
I crouched down and gathered the spheres.
Although I couldn't move my body, I could control the artifact.
Since I had sent most of the spheres to Jin Jae-hee, there wasn't much left here, but I had to try.
I concentrated my mind, brought the spheres together, and exploded them.
“Kaaaaaaah… …! Aaaah! K! It hurts… …! It hurts… …! Help me.”
It worked.
The bastard's muscles burst through the air and fell to the floor.
I moved the sphere again.
This time, it was directed at the tentacles that had been waving since earlier.
When the bastard approached from close range, I countered with the Silver Sword.
“If I’m in danger… … You always said you’d come… … ! Ugh… … ! Liar. Liar… … !”
There were limits to movement, but there were no limits to attack.
The guy's body has grown larger, but I'm the one who actually rules this space.
Things went as I intended.
Jin Jae-hee's protective shield played a big role.
His attacks didn't work on me, and my attacks worked on him.
Now, half of the bastard's body was ruined.
It was finishing time.
He focused all his spheres on the screaming head of Park Ji-soo.
“Ahhhhh… … ! Aaaah …
The spheres continued to gather, and Park Ji-soo also seemed to be preparing for the final blow.
Park Ji-soo raised her arms and sobbed.
“Now… … it’s over… … .”
Then he struck down all four arms.
At the same time I shot the sphere.
bang-!!!!!
“… … .”
“… … .”
After the tremendous explosion came silence.
* * *
“Hoo… … ”
Zion leaned against the shield and took a slow breath.
He no longer had the strength to move a single finger.
I poured all my remaining strength into the final battle, and the outcome was decided.
Zion looked at Park Ji-soo with half-open eyes and thought.
Park Ji-soo's memories.
It was absolutely horrible.
Even for ordinary people who have lived ordinary lives, there are bound to be one or two instances of mental pain that they would rather not remember.
Just thinking about those one or two sad memories would be heartbreaking, but Park Ji-soo has lived a shitty life her entire life.
Zion accepted such feelings all at once, so if he were a normal person… … no, if he were like Lee Se-beom, he would have gone crazy and died long ago.
Even if you think about it calmly, she was a woman who had truly lived a pitiful life.
But that's it.
Kang Shi-on was not a warm or affectionate person who cared about other people's feelings.
The thing he originally did not understand the most in the world was service.
He has long believed that humans create their own individual worlds, and that others outside of them are merely intruders.
Other people can never be you.
Social life, human relationships, and all interactions with others are ultimately just means to avoid destroying one's own world.
If you don't do them, you can't survive in the world, so you have to do them since you were born as a human.
In the end, Kang Shi-on made his choice.
When I lost my parents and was abandoned by the world, I made a definite decision.
I will no longer live my life being led by others.
From then on, he always lived for himself.
Wanting to meet your younger sibling is ultimately for your own good.
The countless people he has killed so far have all been for his own good.
“Coolook… … ! Coolook… … ! Phew… … . Hoo… … .”
Zion barely managed to calm his trembling legs and got up.
And he walked towards Park Ji-soo, who was still sobbing.
Like a zombie, like a drunk.
He approached her, one step at a time, with his shoulders hunched.
Before he knew it, Kang Si-on was looking down at Park Ji-soo.
Park Ji-soo looked up at him little by little while sobbing.
Even though his entire body was broken and covered in blood, his eyes were filled with tears.
Her eyes shook.
Park Ji-soo pleaded.
“… … Save me, Zion.”
Park Ji-soo pleaded again.
“… … Please. I don’t want to die like this. Please… … .”
After looking into Park Ji-soo's memories, Kang Si-on was able to judge himself more objectively.
In fact, to others, the human Kang Shion may have just looked like a failed orphan.
Never once in his life had he drawn any conclusions about himself.
But now I can come to a conclusion.
He was a man who did not understand the feelings of others, who created discord among people for his own purposes, and who eventually rose to the top, controlling the citizens through deception and increasing his power through oppression disguised as freedom.
The bloody war that had killed thousands of people had begun on his tongue, and now it was time to put an end to it.
Kang Shi-on, he was a very simple guy.
… … What kind of guy is he?
Zion muttered.
“… …not human.”
Zion raised the holy sword he was holding diagonally and struck down straight down.
Chook-!
After the small resistance felt from the blade disappeared, Park Ji-soo's neck fell diagonally.
It was the end of a long war.
