Episode 199. Parting and Reunion (7)
Woo Ji-hye ran into a street full of corpses.
After making sure there was no one around, she took off her gas mask and took a deep breath.
“Phew… … . Haa.”
After standing there for a while, he quickly sat down and let out a terrible cough.
Her eyes naturally looked around.
‘… … I can’t feel the old man’s strength.’
Kim Kang-seok's power was so great that he could be recognized anywhere in the city.
But Kim Kang-seok's power disappeared.
It was obvious what it meant.
“Ugh.”
Woo Ji-hye covered her mouth from the nausea that was coming her way.
In the battle with Jin Jae-hee, Woo Ji-hye also suffered major injuries.
Her insides were ruined beyond repair.
Woo Ji-hye ended up spitting out blood.
The amount of blood she shed was so much that it turned the asphalt road red.
After vomiting several times, Woo Ji-hye leaned against the wall, unable to bear the sadness that was pouring in.
Kim Kang-seok is dead.
We knew that we would die someday, but we promised each other that we would stand firm like stones even if we both died.
When that situation actually arose, I couldn't bear it.
The sorrow of losing a comrade was greater than the pain of having my internal organs twisted.
Then someone stood in front of her.
Woo Ji-hye looked up at someone with tearful eyes.
It was Jin Jae-hee, enveloped in divine light.
Jin Jae-hee's face was wrinkled with an ominous expression.
“That devil bastard… … . I guess he still has feelings… … .”
“… … .”
Woo Ji-hye looked at Jin Jae-hee with tearful eyes, then got up from her seat and glared at Jin Jae-hee again like a wild beast.
Jin Jae-hee slowly approached her.
Woo Ji-hye focused solely on Jin Jae-hee's right arm.
Jin Jae-hee now only has the use of one arm, so he thought that if he went at it with all his might, he could win.
Of course, I don't know what will happen to my body after the battle.
There was no need to worry about what would happen after the battle now.
Whirik- boom-!!!
Jin Jae-hee approached Woo Ji-hye in one breath and swung the holy sword at her.
The holy sword formed a straight diagonal line and aimed for Woo Ji-hye's neck.
But Woo Ji-hye lowered her body and avoided it.
The holy sword flew backwards and cut down the building.
Woo Ji-hye brought back the artifact again.
Even as she summoned the artifact, the Holy Sword followed Woo Ji-hye.
“… … ?!”
Woo Ji-hye lowered her body and quickly pulled her head back.
But there was no way to avoid the Holy Sword.
Seo- Ugh!
The holy sword cut through the gas mask and fell to the ground.
It was a close call.
Not only did the Holy Sword cut Woo Ji-hye's gas mask in two, it also cut off her forehead.
Choaaaaaaah!
Blood gushed from Woo Ji-hye's forehead and spurted forward like a fountain.
Woo Ji-hye crossed her eight fingers to make four Xs.
Then, four fire swords rose into the sky and aimed for Jin Jae-hee.
Whirl, whirl, whirl, whirl-!
Jin Jae-hee also dodged the fire sword by dodging his body.
However, Woo Ji-hye's anger did not stop.
She manipulated her fingers delicately and continued to shoot the fire sword, aiming at Jin Jae-hee.
Jin Jae-hee flew up in one breath.
Thus began a fierce dogfight of chasing and being chased.
* * *
In the middle of a collapsed city center.
A single light ran between the buildings, and four lights began to chase after it.
A massacre was taking place beneath those five lights.
Blood and flesh splattered, screams and groans echoed everywhere.
Everyone knew that the war would end in destruction, but the war was unavoidable.
They all screamed at the unjust death.
Amidst the screams and cries, someone's laughter could be heard.
They were the only ones laughing at this gruesome sight.

It's like watching a refreshing gag segment or an exciting fighting sport.
Their laughter spread throughout the universe.
-Puhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
-Hahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!
-Kukukukukukukuk.
-More! More! More! Hahahahaha!!!
The more the inferior humans were brutally killed, the more they cheered.
On the battlefield, two administrators.
A and F looked down at this whole scene from the sky and rejoiced.
“It is definitely the best game, by the best, for the best.”
“Whoa! My bones are breaking and my internal organs are spilling out! This is crazy! This is crazy!”
“Slowly. Is it time for Gangnam to put an end to this war?”
“Gangnam? Gangnam? Haven’t they done anything until now?”
“Silence for one room.”
“For one room! Silence! Ooooh.”
A turned his head and looked at Lotte Tower.
And said.
“Interesting. Now there is only one left. Let’s watch. Who will be the last king to survive?”
* * *
Jin Jae-hee and Woo Ji-hye were like opponents on a single-log bridge, aiming for each other's lives without giving an inch of hesitation.
Workshop, workshop, workshop, workshop, workshop.
There is nowhere to retreat and nowhere to advance.
The end of 'each other' was dedicated to 'each other'.
At the end of this battle, one person will definitely die.
And Woo Ji-hye squeezed out the last of her strength and attacked Jin Jae-hee.
Since Jin Jae-hee was already sufficiently exhausted, this attack was able to incapacitate her.
Woo Ji-hye used her last bit of strength to jump into the air.
And he took hold of his own fire sword.
The sword of fire was swinging, and behind it was a long, beautiful flame.
At the end of the flames was Jin Jae-hee's neck.
Jin Jae-hee didn't even realize the attack and thought that it was just like this.
But Kang Shi-on came first.
Hwaak-!
Kang Shi-on flew between the fire swords in one breath and blocked the attack with a sphere.
The flames attached to the sphere began to burn endlessly.
Kang Si-on continued to forcefully push Woo Ji-hye without stopping.
Woo Ji-hye did not stop attacking, even while blocking all the spheres flying at her.
Jin Jae-hee, who quickly came to his senses, followed Kang Si-on and ran towards Woo Ji-hye.
A 2 vs. 1 matchup was formed.
When Jin Jae-hee attacks, Kang Si-on defends.
When Kang Si-on attacked, Jin Jae-hee defended.
The two of them treated Woo Ji-hye as if they were one body.
Every single attack was powerful.
Space was distorted and buildings collapsed like sand castles.
A drop of bright red blood burst from the young woman's lips and spurted everywhere.
“Phuhuk-!”
Woo Ji-hye was at her limit.
No matter how strong she was, she was powerless against two players.
Even from the fact that she engaged in a fierce battle with Kang Si-on and Jin Jae-hee, we could see how strong Woo Ji-hye was.
At that time, Woo Ji-hye delivered a decisive blow to Kang Si-on.
It was clear that Jin Jae-hee was overwhelmingly stronger in terms of fighting power, but Kang Si-on's interruptions every now and then were quite annoying.
First of all, if we kill Kang Si-on, catching Jin Jae-hee will be easy.
However, Jin Jae-hee threw her body and blocked Woo Ji-hye's attack.
Pubbububu-!
Once again, Jin Jae-hee's body was engulfed in flames.
This time, the hair was also on fire, and as soon as Jin Jae-hee saw it, he cut it off without even thinking.
Slurp-.
A deep burn scar was clearly visible on her right arm.
At that time, Kang Si-on spoke to Jin Jae-hee, who was blocking his way.
“Stop stopping me. I could do it.”
“I never stopped it.”
Their conversation did not continue any further.
Woo Ji-hye quickly approached them and launched an attack.
But before the attack could reach her, Kang Si-on's right foot landed on Woo Ji-hye's side.
Bam!
“Ugh… … !”
Woo Ji-hye's black sword lost its way and crashed into an unfortunate building.
And then Jin Jae-hee stabbed Woo Ji-hye with the Holy Sword.
Phew-!
This time it was a direct hit.
The shining holy sword stabbed Woo Ji-hye in the side, and blood poured out like a waterfall.
Jin Jae-hee originally aimed for the heart, but Woo Ji-hye showed momentary concentration and chose to stab him in the side.
The holy sword entered her stomach and came out behind her back.
It was a decisive blow no matter who saw it.
Woo Ji-hye's eyes shook.
She looked at the holy sword stuck in her stomach.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The three stopped like that.
Jin Jae-hee, who confirmed that Woo Ji-hye was not dead yet, stabbed the Holy Sword with more force.
Phew… … ! Churrrrrr-.
Blood poured out like a waterfall.
Woo Ji-hye felt dizzy and took a step back, her feet hesitating.
Kang Si-on said to Woo Ji-hye.
“Round 1: That middle school student… … .”
“… … .”
Woo Ji-hye did not answer Kang Si-on's question.
He just groaned silently.
Kang Shion continued speaking while gathering the artifacts.
“Even though Korea is small, I didn’t know it would be this small. I didn’t know our fates would be divided like this.”
“… … .”
“Give up. The Metro is over.”
“… … .”
Only then did Woo Ji-hye slowly raise her head and look at Kang Si-on.
His eyes were as gentle as a lamb that looked like it might die at any moment.
And said.
"……I don't get it."
Woo Ji-hye placed her hand on Jin Jae-hee's left shoulder, who had stabbed her with the holy sword.
Ugh-.
Jin Jae-hee didn't move even though Woo Ji-hye placed her hand on his shoulder.
“… … I don’t understand.”
Woo Ji-hye looked at Jin Jae-hee once and then at Kang Si-on once.
Woo Ji-hye barely managed to continue speaking, breathing heavily.
“Overwhelming power… … Resisting is foolish… … . If you acknowledge the difference in power and sort out your position… … . There will be only peace in the world… … . People die because of their petty desire to rise above… … . They kill and die because they want to leave their names behind… … . And the moment they face overwhelming power… … . they realize their weakness and die.”
The tips of Woo Ji-hye's arms slowly began to burn.
Tsk tsk tsk.
This was her last resort.
Even if it was a last resort, it was nothing more than running away.
This was the best it could do for now.
“The leader is strong. Strong enough to destroy a city by himself. And strong enough to subdue two kings. So I was loyal to the man, and so I lived in peace in the Metro. Some rebelled against the leader and turned their swords on him… … . But they all died.”
Woo Ji-hye's body gradually disappeared, and now only her face remained.
Kang Si-on and Jin Jae-hee could neither catch her nor chase after her.
I just heard Woo Ji-hye's last words.
“It will be the same for you too… … .”
Tsk tsk tsk-.
The flame burned in the air and disappeared.
The battlefield where Woo Ji-hye disappeared was filled with the sound of two people's heavy breathing.
Jin Jae-hee explained, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
“Even if you managed to escape, you won’t survive. The wounds inflicted by the Holy Sword can’t be healed by the player’s abilities. Anyway… … .”
At that time, Kang Si-on, who had to say what he had to say, grabbed Jin Jae-hee's clothes tightly and shouted.
“Why aren’t you listening!”
Jin Jae-hee opened her eyes wide, recognized the situation, and shook his hand away.
“What am I?”
“I told you I was going to die! If I hadn’t come, you would have… … by now!”
“You could have stopped it. You could have stopped it… … . And you had to kill that woman. Isn’t that what you wanted?”
“When did I want it? Don’t interpret it as you wish.”
“Finishing the league. That’s what you want! That woman is just a nuisance. That’s why I tried to get rid of her. I’ll get rid of her and then move on to the next round. Even if I die, I’ll protect you… … .”
“I’m dying… … . I’m dying. Don’t tell me I’m dying. Keep… … F**k!”
It was then that Zion uttered his first curse.
Jin Jae-hee was surprised.
And he kicked away a rock that was on the ground, as if he was angry.
Whirik- Kwakwang!!!
The stone he threw hit the wall of the building, and the outer wall of the building where it was hit collapsed.
Kang Shi-on was also a player.
He also had strength that was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Jin Jae-hee swallowed hard and looked at Kang Si-on, who was very angry.
Neither of them knew what was wrong. In fact, they were both doing it for each other.
Jin Jae-hee and Kang Si-on were close to a master-servant relationship, considering each other as the only key to ending this league.
Since his previous life, Jin Jae-hee's position was as the adjutant of Choi Hyeon-ji, who was Kang Si-on's subordinate.
So, to Jin Jae-hee, Kang Si-on is an absolute monarch, and he is merely a subject.
However, Kang Si-on thought of Jin Jae-hee as a ‘friend.’
That was the crucial difference.
Actually, there was only one problem.
Kang Shi-on's feelings had changed.
“Don’t protect it.”
"……uh?"
Jin Jae-hee couldn't help but be surprised by his one word.
Kang Shi-on now seemed to have calmed down, took a deep breath, and spoke again.
“Don’t protect me.”
