The Player Returns After 10,000 Years Episode 420
With Sura’s Heart (1)
Uh… Hmm.
Kang Woo shed tears and looked at Elune, who was crying as if everything was over.
He didn’t even have to think about
why a black darkness had fallen over his and Kim Si-hun’s path .
Shiva, because I am that darkness.
It was only natural that darkness hung over the road ahead of him and Kim Si-hoon.
Is it dark?
Kim Si-hoon asked with a stiff expression.
Elune replied, wiping her wet eyes with her hand.
[Endless darkness… hangs over the road the two of you have to walk on.] …Are you saying it’s dangerous?
[Not that much!]
Elune firmly shook her head.
[A future like this… I’ve never even seen it. It’s even worse than when he prophesied the end!]
[If you imagine how terrible despair the saviors will have to go through in the future… I…]
Elune shakes his head, speechless. closed
I could see her thin shoulders trembling. Perhaps
it is not that she is so sad because she is
simply worried about the future of Kim Si-hoon and Kang-woo .
It would be to despair at the fact that the important fate of the savior to prevent the crisis of the end is a dream that can never come true. [If this continues…]
The world will perish. It cannot be avoided or prevented. The savior
, the only hope,
will eventually be swallowed up by the endless darkness.
Elune trembled in distant despair.
It was a bigger shock than when the world tree rotted away.
In fact, it was tantamount to being informed that there was no future in this world.
Kim Si-hoon clenched his fists firmly. Biting his lip, the expression on his face felt somehow ferocious.
Even if you kill the Constellations
?
he said chewing it up.
While killing the evil constellations in the last war, he thought that the darkness that had been drawn to some extent would have been lifted.
I had hope that I could prevent the apocalypse that I could move forward.
but.’
I closed my eyes tightly.
Didn’t change.
It hasn’t changed.
The road ahead of him and Kang-woo was still locked in an unknown darkness.
….
He had already made up his mind that there would be many dangers and darkness lurking in the path ahead of himself and his brother.
Even though I was prepared, a chill ran through my chest when I heard about the hopeless future through Elune’s mouth.
Memories come to mind. Alec and Raynald, who died at the hands of Satan
.
Even Ludwig, who fell at the hands of Rakiel
. I engrave in my heart
the heroes who were swallowed up by the evil darkness
.
‘Maybe someday…’
He turned his head with trembling eyes.
I saw my older brother staring at Elune with a stiff expression.
‘Hyung too.’
Break it down and clenched your fists.
He shook his head as if to erase a terrible nightmare.
A heavy atmosphere quickly filled the room.
[Huh… Black.]
‘No.’
Kangwoo touched his forehead as if his head hurt.
‘What should I do with this?’
It is impossible to say that the darkness seen in the future foreknowledge is actually me.
‘First of all, what should I do with the atmosphere like this house in mourning?
Should I say that it is like patients who have been judged by a doctor to be terminally ill?
Aside from Kim Si-hoon, the expressions of Layra and Cha Yeon-ju were also very dark.
ah ah Oh, no.
In the case of Seolah Han, it wasn’t just that it was dark, but she was shaking as if she was going to explode when she touched her wrongly.
‘As it is.’
Far from resurrecting the World Tree, it seemed that some kind of evil would happen before that.
No, more than anything else, there was a risk of his identity being discovered.
Whoa.
Kang Woo took a deep breath and stood up.
I approached the weeping Elune.
‘If you can’t reveal your identity.
I had to use another method.
‘But that’s…’
Gulp.
Dry spittle ran down his throat. My shoulders trembled slightly.
It felt like a heavy stone had landed in my chest just by thinking about the method that came to mind.
*
I was certain that it would work.
If it’s Elune’s appearance so far,
he will definitely fall for this method.
But but. ‘I can’t help it.
Kang Woo bit his lip. There was no other way to rectify this situation now.
‘You have to have the heart of Sura.
I made up my mind and moved on.
Lord Elune.
[…yes?]
Elune, who had shed tears, lifted her head.
Kangwoo looked at her with deep sunken eyes and carefully reached out and took her hand.
[Go Kangwoo?]
Elune looked up at Kangwoo with a puzzled expression.
He took her hand and walked towards the window.
When I opened the window, the cool night air flowed out.
When I lifted my head, I saw a dark sky where not a single star could be seen.
No wonder.
On the continent of Erno, magic tools that use magic stones to act as light bulbs were already widely distributed.
In particular, this was the capital of the Arnan Empire.
Just as the night sky over Seoul is dark, the capital of the Arnan Empire, where every house is lit up, was also enveloped in darkness.
Kang Woo looked up at the night sky and slowly turned toward Elune.
The night sky is… dark.
[Ah yes…]
Elune looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression, as if he didn’t know what Kang Woo was trying to do.
Kang Woo continued with a smile on his lips.
Just like my future prophesied by Elune.
[ ….]
Elune’s shoulders trembled.
She slowly raised her head and met Kang-woo’s gaze.
Kang Woo slowly raised his hand.
Whoops.
Brilliant golden light radiated from his body. [Kangwu-sama…?] The brilliant light emitted from Kangwu’s body shot up into the sky.
Dazzling light illuminates the pitch-black sky where not a single star can be seen in the darkened sky. [This is…] Now how about it?
Kang Woo smiled broadly and looked up at the night sky where brilliant lights were burning brightly.
Now… Can you see the light?
He spoke in a soft voice. Elune opened her mouth lightly and looked up at the night sky with a blank gaze.
I caught the light that was burning in the dark night sky. I felt
beautiful
.
[ ….]
Tears inadvertently flowed down my cheeks.
He remembered himself in despair, shedding tears after foreseeing a future full of darkness.
For some reason, it made me feel unbearably embarrassed.
haha.
Kang Woo smiled brightly.
He slowly raised his hand and wiped the tears running down Elune’s cheeks.
[Ga Kangwoo.]
Elune looked at Kangwoo with a startled expression.
Then, as if embarrassed, he turned his head away.
Her cheeks turned faintly red. Don’t worry Elune. Kang Woo spoke softly. The light… shines brighter in the dark. […….]
Elune looked up at Kangwoo with a blank expression as if he had heard something unexpected.
The hero, whose near-inevitable death was confirmed by a terminal sentence, was shining brilliantly even in the face of his distant fate.
‘I…’
But what about myself?
Didn’t she shed ugly tears in despair that the savior would die and the world would face an end?
‘A guide who must protect the world tree and lead the savior to the right path.
Instead of guiding them to the right path, they fell into despair alone and tried to give up hope.
[…Sorry, Savior. I ended up showing an unsightly figure.]
Elune bent down with a faint smile on his lips.
Now was not the time to despair over a dark future.
It was important to overcome the immediate crisis.
[Then lead you to the place where the world tree is…]
Oh wait.
Kang Woo raised his hand to stop her.
Can I leave for a while?
[yes? Whatever happens…] It’s no big deal. For a moment… I want to make up my mind.
Kang Woo said in a voice that felt somehow lonely.
[Ah.]
At his words, Elune let out a short exclamation.
I could understand why Kang Woo was saying this.
‘Even if you said that, Kang Woo-nim was also afraid.
I felt ashamed of myself for trying to say only what I had to say without knowing what he was thinking.
[Yes, I understand.]
Elune nodded slowly.
Kang-woo turned around and left the room.
Sihun Kim tried to follow him, but waved his hand to stop him.
-widely.
After closing the door, Kang-woo kicked off and ran down the hallway.
He ran into his room and locked the door. uh uh
He twists his whole body roughly as if complaining of pain.
ᄂᄆ; Ha ha ha humming.
An incomprehensible scream came out of his mouth. fuck fuck shit The roar of the rain echoed through the room.
-Light… it shines brighter in the dark.
Whoops!
The words he had spoken replayed in his mind.
The kimchi stew I ate for dinner came up to my throat in disgust.
Kang Woo sat down and twisted his fingers as if he was having a seizure. Ah…
I look up at the night sky with empty eyes.
It was the look of a person suffering from endless feelings of shame and remorse, like someone who saw their face reflected on the monitor while watching porn .
I want to die.
just.
because i don’t need it
…I want to die.
For some reason, hot tears ran down my cheeks.
I was prepared, but this pain is hard to get used to.
Uhhhhh The road to becoming a hero is too difficult.
It felt far-fetched.
The sobs, crushed by the sense of shame, did not stop for a while.
Whoa then.
Kang-woo, who came to clear his confused mind, opened his mouth again with a calm voice.
Are you heading straight to the place where the World Tree is?
At his question, Elune nodded.
[I think it would be better to go as soon as possible.]
Now that the World Tree is rotting away, the black thorns from the roots of the World Tree had to be removed as soon as possible.
Kangwoo looked back at the party members.
Go right now bro. Hey, what is this all of a sudden? Hehe! I’ll follow wherever the rain goes!
The party members took out their weapons as if they did not care about the sudden departure.
A high tension settled in the room.
Kang Woo smiled and nodded.
Then we set off right away. […Thank you again.]
Elune looked back at the party members and bowed deeply.
[[Then, I’ll open the door to the World Tree right away.]
I heard that your godhead is unstable. Are you okay?
[[Saviors are also risking their lives. With the mission to protect the World Tree, I cannot stand still.]
Elune said firmly and spread her arms.
A huge green light emanating from her body melted into the air.
[Laughs…]
Blood trickled down Elune’s lips.
She manipulated the divinity while gritting her teeth.
And
– blah blah.
[…Huh?]
There was a crack in the air like a crack in glass.
A huge black energy poured out through the cracks.
-Koo-gu-gu-goo!!
Wow!
what is this?!
The entire imperial castle was shaken. Kang Woo hurriedly kicked his feet with Elune, who was standing in a daze.
What is this?!
[I don’t know either…]
Before Elune’s words were finished
-By the way!!
A crack in the room passed through the wide-open window and reached the night sky.
A huge rift measuring several kilometers covered the sky over the capital.
and.
-Koo-gu-gu-goo!! Black rotten tree roots protruded from the cracks.
