Fanaticism (4)
The 11 apostles who were listening to Blitz’s proposal did not express any disagreement.
It was reasonable for them to prove their readiness to die or fight all 12 apostles.
‘They attack me one by one in order.’ Miro, on the other hand, was in a bad mood. I wouldn’t take it back with my bare body,
but at the time the opponent attacked, there was no question of whether or not there would be a counterattack.
‘If I refuse… then it’s real time.
It is an orthodox fight with the 12 apostles.
‘In my opinion, I would like to choose the latter.’
Regardless of the outcome of victory or defeat, when will you ever have another opportunity to experience a battle like this as a magician?
‘But we have to go to the Central Continent right now. ‘This is no time for pride.’
After making a decision, Miro raised his hands.
“Okay, hit me hard. “I’ll give it to you.” Zulu approached.
“maze.”
“Stay back. You know. “He’s not someone you can provoke by clumsily breaking the rules.”
Since it was true, Zulu gave up his claim and focused on preparing for an emergency.
‘12 apostles. These are the people who once faced the Archangel. At the very least, I need to create an escape route…
I flew a long distance with Kydra, but I still have the mental strength to cast Forcemetry once.
Although it was unclear whether it would work for the 12 apostles.
“What are you doing? Have you already learned philanthropy after singing Sirone’s song? come in.” Blitz looked back.
“Who wants to go first?”
“I’ll do it.”
It was a woman with half of her red hair shaved off and three piercings in her left lip.
She was wearing leather tights that revealed her voluminous body, and a long zipper was visible along the center line of her body.
Miro’s eyes watched her.
“Perhaps…
Fire Dragon Infercus.
It was a dragon that was also the model for the last 10 levels of Shirone’s graduation exam.
At the time, how many spectators criticized the developer who set up Infercus, calling him a pervert?
‘I’m not a pervert. It’s rather merciful.’
Even though she transformed into a human, her energy when faced in person was at a level that a simulation could not embody.
‘That monster is going to hit me?’
Infercus jumped down the rock and suddenly stopped and looked back.
“You have no complaints about me going first, right?” Light Dragon Phaeton was furious.
“What do you do if you’re dissatisfied? “If it’s not the first in the order, it’s going to be shit again, right?” Infercus took a step again.
“That’s why I asked. “It’s better to do it now than to do it later.”
She said as she approached Miro.
“Let’s do it quickly. “Because we’re both busy.”
Miro’s cheeks trembled as he raised the corner of his mouth, and the art of incarnation of Thousand Hands Avalokitesvara unfolded.
The twelve apostles raised their heads at the sight of Guanyin soaring to the top of the sky.
Since they are all masters of combat, the only thing they can realize is…
‘It’s definitely going to be difficult to attack that one.’
The poisonous dragon Poine spoke in the soft voice of an old woman.
“When fighting an unknown opponent, you usually start with sense. Open the fire with what you are best at, or attack what seems to be the opponent’s weak points. But that Kannon…
Poine grinned happily.
“You don’t even let me think about it.”
There are no blind spots.
No matter what standard you use, it’s perfect in all directions, so you don’t even want to attack it first.
Zulu muttered.
“All-sky projection.”
It was the view of the Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara, looking over
all things from the top of the universe .
“Anyway…
Infercus raised his fist in front of his eyes.
“I can do it, right?”
And when he spread his fingers, a huge stream of fire erupted, and a heat wave that seemed to cook his skin swept everywhere.
Miro took a deep breath.
“are you okay. “Because it’s not breath.”
There were no specific rules, but it seemed like Infercus had no intention of releasing the shape change.
“Goes.”
Infercus took a step forward, manipulating the fireball burning like the sun at the top of the sky with his palm.
“Keuuuuu!”
The bridge of Miro’s nose was wrinkled. A pillar of fire crashed down from the sky, as if the world had been turned upside down.
30 minutes later.
The place where all 12 apostles left was no longer a rocky area.
Gangnan and Zulu jumped as the soil layer that had accumulated on the floor tens of thousands of years ago was revealed.
“maze!”
The two people who arrived were speechless.
Miro was down on one knee, covering his face with his hands and shaking.
His sleeves were burned off, his exposed arms were covered in blood, and one foot was buried deep in the ground.
“I survived.”
I was thrilled by the current results because I had watched all the attacks made by the 12 apostles while biting my lips until they bled.
‘I threw it away. ‘I endured it.’
To be honest, I don’t like this woman, but at times like this, I feel in awe of her as a human being.
“Mr. Miro.”
The moment I approached her while using an honorific for the first time in a long time.
“Aaaah!”
Miro stood up and screamed.
“You damn lizards! “Kill them all!”
The moment Miro kicked the ground with her buried feet and ran, Kang Nan hugged her waist.
“Hold on! “Hold on!”
“Let go! I can’t survive being beaten like this! “I’ll go and pay you back in kind!”
Gangnan could be seen through the weight carried by the maze as it fell forward.
I was no longer in a state to fight.
‘Well, I couldn’t do anything, so I took it and deceived it.’
As she looked at the maze without showing it, tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes.
“Huh, Mr. “I’m really sad.”
The reason why the maze of the world endured until the end even though it was so angry that it brought tears to tears… ultimately, it would be humanity.
‘It’s a polarizing line.’
Until now, I hated Miro for not knowing Gaold’s feelings, but now, suddenly.
‘Because she’s this kind of woman.’
I wondered if Gaold was trying to help her even by enduring that terrible pain.
Kang Nan spoke quietly.
“I’m going to the central continent.”
“…This is what happened.”
Iruki, who had been listening blankly to Miro’s story, came to his senses after a while and spoke.
“So you’re late? “For giving each of the 12 apostles a beating?”
“okay. I tried to come quickly, but there was no place that didn’t hurt. “I guess I’m getting older too.”
Miro, who had been pretending to be sick, changed his expression.
“Anyway, I heard about it. Elemental Bomb. He’s definitely Shirone’s friend. “I came up with a really cool strategy.”
A shadow fell over Iruki’s face.
“If Sirone found out, he would be angry.”
Miro did not deny it.
“So do you regret your current choice?”
“no. I will do it. “The resolution is already over.”
Miro nodded.
“good. After all, it’s the only way to defeat evil, right? During the World War, humanity’s power became extremely weak. Let’s walk here. “I will help you too.”
The reason we can easily talk about a terrible tragedy is because we are among the victims.
“So, there is something suspicious about it.”
Iruki pointed to the map of the battlefield.
“As long as May Ray is there, information will never leak out. Mudeungryong’s log is also handed down only to Sirone. “Until then, no one could view it because it was in a permanent state.”
“Hmm. however?”
“We are following the strategy. But what can I say, backlash? “There is such a reaction.”
Iruki squeezed his index finger with his other hand.
“It feels like something is pulsing inside the enemy, as if you can feel the pulse in their blood vessels.”
“You mean you noticed?”
“I feel uncomfortable because it’s not that bad. There are two ways for Havitz. Avoid Tormia and go straight. Detour and hit Bashka. Going straight is good because it’s convenient, but if you take a detour, there’s a toy called Vashka. I think even the slightest shock would be enough to turn the armies of Hell towards Bashka. However, the feeling of bending is smaller than expected.”
“Hmm. This is subtle, right? “If you give a shock, there will be a backlash, but it doesn’t seem like you’re refusing to go to Bashka, right?”
“yes. When I look at the military as a single organism, my current feelings are closer to conflict. “It may be that opinions are divided internally, or it may be that you intuit something but only a few people know about it.”
“Then now is the time. “The more suspicious the other party is, the more difficult it is to use incentives.”
Iruki thought it was fortunate that Miro was someone who didn’t need to explain anything.
“yes. this place.”
The baton pointed to the north of the flower field.
“Create a shockwave here. “It must be bent at least 11 degrees.”
Miro chuckled.
“Are you comparing it?”
“yes.”
It is not a strategy that can be explained simply through angles.
“I like it because it’s intuitive. I understand. “If it’s me and the Zulu River, it could go up to 11 degrees or higher.”
Miro stood up.
“Then work hard.”
Iruki, who was looking at Miro’s back, asked.
“why?”
Miro turned around, but his next words did not come out until some time had passed.
“You’re not saying anything, are you?” “I know you hate evil. But good people die too. Why? Because there is no way? Because you’re going to die too?”
“You might want to grasp at straws.”
Iruki’s eyes wavered.
“You want to hear at least something similar to the right answer. Even if it’s the words of a psychopath. No, it would be better if I heard as much criticism as I could.”
Miro walked as if taking a walk.
“But there is no one to talk to you and all that surrounds you is silence.”
Iruki’s head slowly lowered.
“And that’s my answer.”
When Iruki looked up again, Miro was giving him a pitiful look.
“So did I. “When the 20-member committee met, most people were silent.”
Only Gaold shouted endlessly.
“It was sad and mean. Humans looked like monsters. But after being in the dimensional wall for 20 years, this thought suddenly occurred to me. “Maybe humanity was quiet for the first time then.”
silence.
“I hate to admit it, but there are some problems for which there is no right answer. It is human arrogance to believe that we can find answers to all problems. At that time, humanity’s intellect had turned pale. “In front of a question that has no right answer.”
Miro smiled as if letting go of the sorrow of the past.
“From the beginning, there was nothing to complain about or get angry about. If I had rejected the committee’s decision, it would have gone the same way. So, did humanity become extinct? It’s something we don’t know. “Because it’s just the past.”
Miro kissed the top of Iruki’s head.
“Now you are standing alone in an unknown world where no one has ever set foot. It may be painful, but there is no need to be afraid. Because wherever you go will become a road, and along that road, people will gather and open a new world. Therefore, I am also a human being…
Taking a step back, Miro kissed his index and middle fingers and held them out to Iruki.
“I am silent about your choice.”
Iruki’s fists automatically gained strength.
“thank you.”
What a blessing it is for someone who has previously experienced the unknown to exist in this world.
“remember. “Now you are the master of the world.”
The door closed and Iruki calmly closed his eyes.
The silence that Miro spoke of did not mean support, opposition, or neutrality.
‘A choice that only I have.’
Whatever you choose, it will be the first, and a new future will be born from there.
“Whoa.”
As his overheated brain cooled down for a moment, Iruki
was able to sleep for about 3 minutes for the first time in a long time.
