The Player Returns After 10,000 Years Episode 255
Halkyon (2)
The first emotion I felt after being born was fear.
– Hee!
-What is this monster? when you first open your eyes I saw the devil looking down at me.
Their faces were frowning in disgust.
-damn! Whoops!
-Wow!
They looked at themselves and vomited.
He didn’t have multiple eyes like them, nor did he have wriggling tentacles and moldy, punctured skin.
– I think this is a monster? They called themselves monsters.
A monster that is not a demon. A beast devoid of intelligence and reason. A being that moves by instinct and lives by instinct.
-I’ve never seen such a terrible monster…
A look filled with disgust. A voice full of hostility.
‘I…’ crouched down. begged
I begged desperately.
I begged not to hurt myself, not to hurt myself.
‘I didn’t do anything wrong.’
– Kill! – That disgusting bastard! Kill them quickly! A flurry of attacks. I couldn’t tell. I couldn’t understand why they hated me so much.
But what is certain is that if you get hit by their attacks, it will be very painful.
ran away Perhaps because he was born as a monster,
his escape speed was not slow. Desperately wringing out all his strength, he fled.
– Follow me!
-You can’t let him grow up!
they followed He trampled on himself and crushed his flesh.
It hurt.
It was unbearably painful.
Please don’t bully me.
Begged.
More than anything, I begged earnestly and desperately.
– What is the monster like? According to them, monsters are beast-like beings that run rampant without intelligence.
I feel neither despair nor fear.
A monster that attacks without hesitation if it thinks it is an enemy.
That was the ‘monster’ they were talking about.
black ugh
What does that mean? he didn’t
There was no madness to run amok or cruelty to devour enemies.
I was just terribly afraid of all the words they uttered and the hateful eyes directed at me.
Run away, run away, run away. they followed behind
It’s the same even if you meet someone you’ve never seen before. The demons who saw him retched and attacked as one.
Life was a horror. It was fear and pain
.
Everyone in the world cursed themselves. A series of nightmares that will never end.
at last. Are you trying to bully me too? he is crazy I couldn’t stand it without going crazy.
In a fit of fear and madness, it killed everything that came near.
I knew that if I didn’t kill myself, I would die.
black ugh
There is something called habitat. He realized that other demons would not come if he crouched inside the sturdy fence he had built.
But haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The wound did not heal. Their finger-pointing, disgusting gazes at him did not disappear from his mind.
longed for Looking at myself,
I hoped for an existence that would not be afraid and would not be disgusted. But no matter how much time passes. one hundred years
a thousand years Even if ten thousand years pass They didn’t show up. He was always feared and hated.
The unchanging bondage of nightmares.
Ugh black. I shed tears. She curled up inside the sturdy fence she had made and let go, crying.
As with all things, squeezing out tears did not change anything.
Just like that…
such a long time has passed.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!
The sound of maddened laughter echoed everywhere.
She crawled across the floor and
grabbed the hem of Kang-woo’s trousers.
am i really Am I really pretty?
A desperate, desperate voice.
Like a believer longing for salvation, she looked up at him with earnest eyes.
oh what It is, but
Kang Woo looked down at her with a puzzled expression.
answered reflexively.
Unexpected positive reaction. No, it was a reaction that felt beyond active and even madness. Ahhh.
Halkyon covered his face with both hands and wept.
A look like addicted to drugs.
Laughter mingled with pleasure and trembling madness broke out again.
‘no way.’
A possibility flashed through Kang Woo’s mind.
I could see the balrog still on the floor, vomiting.
A scenario was drawn in my head
as to how this might have happened .
It’s the first time I’ve heard that she’s pretty.
If, from the devil’s point of view, Halkyon seems to have a more terrifying appearance than anything else.
In a hell full of demons, she would never have been called pretty. ‘It’s not just that.
Just because I’ve never heard that I’m pretty doesn’t mean I don’t see that kind of reaction.
‘trauma.’
From the devil’s point of view, her terrifying appearance was likely to have left her a deep trauma.
No, if it didn’t become a trauma in the first place, that kind of reaction wouldn’t make sense.
She would have been ostracized and would have been an object of hatred and loathing.
This is…
Kang Woo narrowly opened his eyes. The corners of his mouth twisted up.
‘I might be able to use it.’
It’s not hard to guess what Halkyon went through.
The story is neither complex nor unexpected. ‘It’s an obvious story.’
can be expected I can imagine.
Then it is not difficult to use it.
‘The important thing.’
Value when using Halkyon. I didn’t have to think long about it.
‘Looking at it right now, it’s an unconditional benefit.’
Halkyon had many things to ask.
From how the ancient monsters came to Earth, to information about the strange behavior of the ancient monsters that are now appearing in hell and the Behemoth, the king of monsters.
‘That’s not all.
After the Magi stat reached 150, it became temporarily impossible to absorb other targets’ Magi with the Power of Predation.
Of course, like Belphegor, if you condense the corpse to make a magic crystal, you can use it later.
‘but.’
Demonic energy control isn’t something that stretches like a rubber band, it’s something that is built up slowly over and over again, but it’s inefficient to just pile up demonic crystals.
Even if it was Belphegor right now, I couldn’t guess when I would be able to eat it.
‘I don’t know if it awakens me or something.’ It is not Kim Si-hoon, and future planning based on awakening is not good.
black ugh It’s all good. It’s really all right…
Halkyon sheds tears of emotion.
Kang Woo looked at her with a calm gaze.
consequently. It was far more profitable to drag her into an ally than to kill her right away and make it a demonic decision. Although it is said that it does not have authority, it is a force that overwhelms the anti-aircraft when looking at physical specifications alone.
‘It was good.’ Kang Woo laughed.
I have set goals and I know how.
There was no reason to hesitate. am i really You’re not lying, are you?
Halkyon looked up at him with anxious eyes, holding his hands together.
Kang Woo stretched out his hand with a kind smile on his lips.
He put his hand on her cheek.
Kang Woo paused for a while. Halkyon’s expression turned pale and
he could see him trembling.
Looking back, it’s not that pretty.
A short exclamation escaped Halkyon’s mouth.
A sigh mixed with regret and relief. Kang Woo smiled. As expected.
‘To say that it’s unconditionally pretty here is rather negative.’
It’s a simple matter.
Suppose there is a person who has lived his whole life only hearing that he is ugly.
Even if someone came up to him one day and complimented him on how beautiful he was, would he truly believe it?
‘No way.’
Human, demon, monster, it doesn’t matter.
Self-preservation is an instinct for sentient beings. It will naturally border you. To those who tell lies that make no sense.
That’s right. I can’t be pretty… no.
Transparent tears flowed down Halkyon’s cheeks.
I…
it’s ugly and disgusting.
Kang Woo’s eyes shone. ‘now.’
when there is a bend in the mind. Now is your chance. no. That’s not right.
Speak firmly. yes…?
It’s not disgusting and ugly, I don’t know what I’ve been told, but at least I don’t see it that way at all.
Ah…
not bad to look at again. It’s neither ugly nor disgusting.
Kang Woo smiled and wiped Halkyon’s tears.
There is no need to overdo it. No, you shouldn’t overdo it.
What Halkyon really longed for was not someone who would tell him he was ‘beautiful’.
‘What I really want is.’
A being who does not say that he is ‘disgusting’. Ah ah ah… that’s all.
A very small task that doesn’t seem too difficult.
But for her, it would be an irreplaceable salvation.
uh uh uh uh
Tears ran down my cheeks.
She was trembling with a shudder.
thank you. Thank you very much
.
Halkyon trembled.
Holding on to the hem of his clothes, he wept bitterly.
Kang-woo looked down at her and slowly moved his gaze.
‘yet.’
lack. 99% completed puzzle. That last piece needs to be filled in.
– Wake up the balrog. He
took out his communicator and muttered in a low voice
.
The Balrog, who had fallen to the floor and was vomiting, staggered to his feet.
[Awesome! It’s dangerous, Demon King!!] Seeing Halkion clinging to Kang-woo, he kicked his feet in an urgent voice.
king’s armor. Armor made of black magic encircled his arm.
Oops…!
Halkyon closed his eyes tightly. Her body trembles pitifully again
.
The fist of the Balrog, who had awakened from the power of the king, was not an attack that she could not block, as she was on the verge of exhaustion from the battle with Kang Woo.
Kang-woo raised his hand slowly. -Quaaaaaaang!!
Right next to Halkyon’s head. In a situation where if it was even 0.1 second late, his head would have exploded, and he barely blocked the balrog’s fist.
[Demon King?] It’s not a particularly dangerous situation, so stay still.
Halkyon
looked up at him with wide eyes.
With a short elasticity, the hand holding the hem of his clothes adds strength.
The Balrog said, frowning as if he couldn’t bear to look at Halkyon. [Demon King… don’t you mind that monster?]
‘That’s right.’
This is the question I was expecting.
Kang Woo spoke in a calm voice. The final piece to complete the puzzle is in place.
well.
Halkyon looked up at him with anxious eyes.
Contrary to what I’ve heard from you, it doesn’t sound too ugly.
Put down the last piece of the puzzle. Are these my eyes a little weird? I even look rather pretty?
[her….] Maybe it’s ‘only my eyes look like this.
Kangwoo shrugged his shoulders and soon moved his gaze to Hal Kion.
He could feel a change in the way she looked at him.
‘yes.
The only one who said he wasn’t disgusting.
If only the existence’s eyes were a little special.
If only ‘the existence’ is the one who doesn’t look at you disgustingly.
Tsk. For now, the subjugation is stopped. Let’s finish here and go back.
over there!
Halkyon raised his head.
There was a sense of urgency in her voice.
No wonder. If there is only one existence in this world who will not say that he is disgusting and who will break the bondage of the nightmare that he thought would last forever.
‘Even if I sacrifice everything.’
You won’t want to miss that only salvation. Please take me with you! I’ll do anything
. I won’t even cry Please… Please… Please don’t abandon me. I’m sorry for attacking you earlier. I won’t do that in the future. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do. So please…
A cry close to screaming. Kang-woo, whose
eyes were desperate enough to feel madness,
slowly turned his head. ‘yes.’
A satisfied smile formed on his lips. Of course, it wouldn’t be right from a moral point of view.
Whatever the devil’s point of view, she was actually beautiful, and it is not true that he is the only savior who can tell her that she is not ugly.
‘but.’
I have no intention of telling her the whole truth.
The purpose of doing these troublesome things in the first place was not to save her.
It is not to bring you out of a painful and painful nightmare.
‘What I need.
listen to yourself
I follow my own words.
Think only of me,
for only me, and die for me.
It just needed something like that.
what good
Kang Woo laughed. I’ll take you. Ah…
Joy filled Halkyon’s eyes.
