◈ 472. [Side Story] Righteous Brother (5)
Looking back, Lark was always like that.
Every time they greeted each other, they said it was a hug of friendship and hugged her waist tightly.
In the past, when I was hurt, I didn’t feel anything like friendship.
In this situation where he risked his life and jumped between us, seeing the side of his face smiling as he embraced us while vomiting blood… … .
It was embarrassing, but also heartbreaking.
I’ve never considered this person a real brother.
This person us… … Have I always been considerate of you as a younger brother?
“I don’t know what you went through.”
Lark opened his mouth while coughing up blood.
“I’m indecisive and don’t know how to do anything except swing a sword… … What kind of troubles did you go through and what hardships did you go through? I do not know.”
Lark looked at me and Fernandez with dark blue eyes and said,
“But even if we point weapons at each other, even if we hurt each other and fight… Still, aren’t we a family?”
to the end.
it sounded like that
“Let’s talk, brothers and sisters.”
“… I’m sorry, brother. There is no room for that.”
Fernandez, who had been silent with his head lowered, slowly opened his mouth.
“My heart is firm and unchanging.”
“Fernandez… .”
“Conversations between us are already meaningless.”
Quad deuk… … !
Dozens of thorny spears rose behind Fernandez’s back.
“My older brother, like Ash, annihilates the body… Let only the soul be taken to the spirit world.”
“… .”
“I will convince you later… !”
Lark silently looked at his younger brother, who was going to kill him, and said,
“Yes, Fernandez… If that is your will, so be it.”
grinned
“I’m sorry for always being an ugly hyung.”
“… .”
At that moment, Fernandez’s face turned into a broken face.
However, dozens of thorn spears were already loaded. Fernandez closed his eyes and shot the thorn spears forward.
“… I’m sorry bro.”
Wedge love!
The rain of the thorns pours out towards Lark-
“The disadvantageous cubs in this invalid.”
I blocked the way.
The gray castle wall I urgently summoned blocked the thorn spear and was crushed like sand at the same time.
Through my collapsing walls, I hugged Lark and hurriedly escaped.
“It wasn’t enough to imprison my father in the spirit world, so I cut off my brother’s limbs! Trying to kill all my brothers and sisters!”
Although I have a flame attribute when it comes to filial piety! Even though I stuck a sword in Lark’s side and fought to the death with Fernandez!
Still, you are the real king!
“I, a Confucian boy who inherited the Spirit of the Kingdom of Courtesy in the East, cannot forgive a guy like you! Show me the truth, Fernandez!”
The sound was squealing, but I was running away with a tail.
That ignorant Thornwood Spear is not something I can block with my Castle Wall Summon.
Seeing me like that, Fernandez snorted.
“When did you see it? Show me one more time. How would you stop me… … .”
That moment.
Fernandez’s shoulders trembled.
At the same time, the entire ark thumped and shook.
“… what?”
Fernandez looked down with a puzzled gaze.
thud! Kugoong! Koo Goo Goo!
A series of loud explosions sounded, and the ark shook violently.
Fernandez hurriedly stretched his thorns down and connected them to the branch in the center of the throne room, trying to check the overall condition of the ark.
Pachichik!
“Keugh?!”
The thorns were not connected and bounced back.
Stunned, Fernandez hurriedly looked around.
“no way… ?!”
“Yes, Fernandez. Can you see it now?”
On the throne room floor… … Small twigs of Everblack were stuck everywhere.
Needless to say, these are the things I nailed.
I can’t help but look good. In the first place, the entire audience room was surrounded by a giant tree trunk.
How could the small branch I planted in the trunk of that large tree during the battle be noticed?
“Why did I run around the inside of the audience room in the first place?”
There are no meaningless paving stones.
“Why did I bother to take my older brother off the throne and lure him here?”
according to all calculations.
From the beginning, I set up the branches I brought throughout the throne room and tried to remove Fernandez from the throne, the center of control of the ark.
“Where did you get these twigs?!”
“Where did you get it?”
I sneered.
“No eyes? Everblack is everywhere in this imperial palace!”
They broke twigs on the way from the entrance of the imperial palace to the throne room!
Even twigs are everblack. It is no different from a powerful magic wand in itself.
A normal human wouldn’t even be able to touch it, let alone break it. Also, even if you’re qualified, you won’t be able to do this unless you’ve handled Everblack before.
But I’m qualified and I’ve handled the twig synthesized by the Midnight Sun. So it was possible.
After I arbitrarily seized control of the branch I cut off.
The twigs were inserted into the central stem of the throne room here – the controller of the ark, causing damage to the ark’s system.
So put it simply!
“How does ransomware taste?!”
A virus was injected into the main computer!
No matter how sturdy the outside is, if the internal system is damaged, the taste will inevitably go bad.
I pointed at the flagship Fernandez.
“It’s called Operation Trojan Horse, you bastard!”
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
The ark shuddered violently.
Fernandez gritted his teeth and glared at me, then hurriedly ran to the throne and sat down, trying to regain control of the ship. but.
“Hey… !”
that’s rather a trap.
The Everblack branches I planted have already penetrated deep into the system at the center of the ark.
I am also the guardian of the empire and the rightful heir to Everblack.
The order I gave was ‘stop the ark’.
Fernandez tried his best to get rid of my order, but it’s difficult to get rid of the poison that has already spread through his veins.
The ark started to stop functioning gradually as the vibration increased… … .
“Huh!”
oh oh oh-!
… Didn’t do it and restarted again.
Sitting on the throne, Fernandez assimilated more than half of his body into the thorn tree and was finally regaining control of the broken ark.
I was dumbfounded and opened my mouth.
Didn’t you fight the monster with that indomitable will? Really… … !
“You think you’re just watching!”
I took out the last Everblack branch I had kept in my bosom and put it down on the central stem.
And I tried to silence the ark by infusing my consciousness inside.
Inside Everblack, the will of Fernandez and I collided. Fernandez tried to restore the ark somehow, and I tried my best to get in the way.
How long did you have to fight like that?
“why… Don’t you know, Ash?”
said Fernandez in a hoarse voice.
“You don’t know. because you forgot What have you been through in the meantime? What sacrifices have you made?”
“… .”
“Aren’t you the one who endured until it was broken to the point where it couldn’t even sustain itself and put on someone else’s personality?”
I faced such Fernandez. Fernandez’s voice trembled.
“Even if this world completely collapses, only you must be saved. So I tried to save you.”
“… .”
“But why… Why do you want to break again? Why don’t you run away… … !”
“What else are you asking for the obvious?”
I don’t really enjoy catching poop, but if you ask me, I have no choice but to answer.
“Because this is the path I chose.”
It’s not just me right now.
All of the countless traces of ‘I’ engraved on this flag. The trajectory of those countless attempts gathered together.
All are the result of my choices.
These are the traces of the strategy that somehow saved the world and struggled to reach the true ending.
“It is as you said. I can’t remember the old me but.”
I chuckled.
“I think I know now what I have been fighting for.”
“For what?”
“It’s for me.”
Fernandez’s eyes widened. I said forcefully.
“Not for anything else. I fight for myself.”
I am the one who wants to save the world.
this is my wish
Why are you doing this to the point where your soul is shattered and someone else’s memory is overwritten?
“Because I want to! I do it because I want to!”
I’m just being honest with my heart. It’s just being sincere in your own wishes.
As much as it’s sincere – I just bite and hang on as best as I can.
No one forced you, and you are not making a holy sacrifice! All of this is my will!
I’m playing this damn defense game with my will!
“So- don’t look at me with such selfish, pitiful eyes!”
Don’t patronize yourself! Don’t arbitrarily save!
“Fighting to the end and being shattered… … Because it’s all my choice!”
“… !”
Fernandez’s face hardened in shock.
Regardless, I gritted my teeth and re-energized myself to seize control.
“All right, land this damn ark now! Like Lark said, I have to go home!”
“… what?”
“Let’s go down to the ground! Go and be judged by the law! Brother Lark, go to the temple and get healed!”
The crime that Fernandez has committed is extremely grave.
No matter how much a prince is, the minimum is life imprisonment and probably the death penalty.
But at least until then, I’ll visit you every day, feed you meals, and visit you. I’ll draw you a commemorative portrait before I die!
“Let’s go home!”
“… !”
“Damn the fuck! okay! After all, we are brothers!”
I don’t remember.
A lifetime with you is not in my head. I don’t have any memories of previous rounds.
But damn it anyway!
“Let’s live together bro… … !”
“… !”
“Not on the other side of the other side, but together here in reality… !”
I gritted my teeth.
I will take Fernandez and Lark out of here and return to the surface!
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
But it doesn’t stop.
The gearco ark continued maneuvering. My will did not reach the deepest part of the ark.
“… haha.”
Still, Fernandez stared blankly at me as I continued to struggle without giving up.
“I am… You were completely misjudged.”
He slowly stretched out his hand to the side and clenched his fist.
Kwajik! Kwajik! Quadduk… … !
Then,
the walls next to the throne room opened all at once, creating a passage.
I looked there in surprise. The passage led to the sky outside the ark. A strong wind blew into the audience room.
“Go Ash.”
Fernandez’s head was lowered, his face obscured by his tangled hair.
“In a little while, the ark will be sent to the spirit world. Previously… leave.”
“Fernandez… !”
“You can’t cheer on what your sister wants to do, but you’re just interfering with it… .”
A bitter smile hung on his lips.
“I was a very mean brother too.”
“Let’s go together bro! If you want to go, you must go together!”
“… When I leave this throne, the ark will be immediately embodied and transported to the spirit world. The person in control must remain.”
Fernandez slowly leaned back on the throne.
“I’m sorry. My brother tried to wield you at will.”
“Fernandez… !”
“… I will cheer you on for your last challenge.”
Fernandez waved his hand.
“Let’s have a final match without regrets.”
“… .”
“Transmission will begin soon. Take your brother and go.”
I gritted my teeth and looked to the side. On the carpet leading to the throne, Lark was bleeding and breathing heavily.
“I’ll support you, Lark. Let’s go out.”
“… no.”
However, Lark shook his head.
“I will be with Fernandez.”
“what… ?”
“To remain alone in this ark in the spirit world forever… Isn’t that too much?”
Fernandez also looked at Larc with a surprised face. Lark laughed peacefully with a pale face.
“Since I have left you in solitude, I will be with you, even if it is too late.”
“… .”
“So go, youngest.”
Kugoong! Koo Goo Goo!
The vibration of the ark became even stronger. It seemed that the transfer to the spirit world was really near.
Larc put his forearm on my shoulder and grinned.
“Please the world.”
