EP.111 Beast, King of Beasts, Human – Finisher
Rash, the immortal, didn’t care much if someone hurt him. Even if he was weakened in the abyss.
That’s why the immortal Rash didn’t care much about Ebon’s condition. That he was half-dead was not a consideration of the Undead. Also the fact that the three regimes are fatal to him.
In a way, it seems fair and unfair, but the fairness of the same situation with a different premise was also not the matter of the Undead.
He just hit three with all his might, seriously, seriously, and with all his heart.
As a result, Ebon’s face was in disrepair.
In one shot, the Qigong that he had been protecting was blown away, and in two shots his consciousness was blown away. In the three rooms, even the last remaining life of him had disappeared.
His nose was broken and his teeth were blown out. Blood leaked from the hole in his face. When the claw broke, unable to withstand the power of the undead, Ebon stumbled and fell to the ground.
And I’m going to hit you like that. Did you ask me to take one hit last time because I used my right arm?
he’s really crazy Had I been hit, it would have been an instant death.
While I stuck out my tongue, the Undead, who beat one person to the brink of death, spoke sadly.
towards me
“I’m sorry, sir. I’m not in the mood to answer any more.”
Look at me apologizing in the meantime. Now that he’s beaten three times, Ebon’s condition is none of his business.
“Oh, it’s okay. I’m not looking for an answer.”
I mean, if you think about it, ask.
The Undead asked as I approached Ebon.
“Do you need help with something?”
“I’m really sorry, but could you cover your ears? I’m going to tell you a sensitive story about Lieutenant General Ebon’s personal history.”
“Listen? OK!”
Despite the unexpected request, the Undead responded straight away. He closed his ears with his fingers and shouted.
“Blocked! Feel free to talk! But in case you don’t know, I’ll be watching!”
“Hey, you do this.”
“what? I can’t hear you!”
I raised my thumb and walked over to Ebon.
Sensing the end, Ebon vainly clenched his trembling hands. His fingers scratched the ground, but he couldn’t even grip the concrete floor properly.
It was just that the concrete that had been scratched by his sharp fingernails, symbolizing his birth, crumbled and fell.
Ebon vomited blood and repeated.
‘It was an opportunity to fulfill the great wish of mankind… I had to find him. Find…”
“You wanted to be acknowledged, right? It’s not a cat beast, it’s a human.”
Evon Crimson Wild, a cat beast.
Falling into self-loathing during the kingdom where hatred of beastmen was prevalent, he devoted himself to the military cutting off his ears and tail. The fact that he was a cat beast was not noticed except by a very small number of people.
Unhappy or fortunate? ‘Someone’ noticed Ebon’s true identity and highly praised his determination. Under the support of ‘someone’, Ebon was quite successful.
Win-win did not mean the silky road. Ebon’s life was a series of hardships. In the days of the kingdom, the military was a foot-cleaner for knights and a weapon taken out of the arsenal. Some knights even threatened Ebon after realizing that he was a prisoner. Ebon lived like a slave to them, deprived of both money and achievements.
His hatred for the kingdom grew with each passing day, and he took the lead in a coup d’état and helped wipe out the remnants using the keen senses of a cat beastman. The knight who threatened Ebon had to pay the debt with his life.
Ebon went through hardships and became a military general.
Of course, time and career aren’t the only things that propelled him to greatness. An operation planned with endless efforts, troubles, blood-curdling training and brainstorming. It all piled up and piled up and led him to greatness.
When Ebon, who was so qualified, faced the reality of the lord of all things.
When he realized the true purpose hidden inside, not the seemingly childish purpose of gathering and weaponizing the king of beasts.
Ebon decided to watch it to the end.
Ebon, a cat beast, became an executive of the extreme human supremacy group ‘Warrant of All Things’.
The true purpose of attracting him is…
‘I couldn’t find him… after all…’
“Why are you trying to find him? Do you think he is the only one who can acknowledge and understand you?”
Ebon’s dim eyes turned to me. Even as his focus blurred, questions came to his eyes.
‘…what is it? About us… what do you know…’
“Mr. Ebon. Why do you need such a grandiose entity to define your essence?”
‘I don’t even know who I’m looking for…’
Do you plan to keep quiet until right before you die?
Can not help it. In order to see the true mind a little deeper, I have no choice but to tell you.
“An entity that has disappeared in history since humans ruled the earth in name and reality. An existence that announced the beginning and end of the first year. A king in the true sense of the word who has both the ability and the qualifications to rule other humans than the fake kings.”
Among the many beasts that walk on the land, since humans unquestionably dominated the land, the king of beasts took on a human body.
however.
A fact that people sometimes forget.
That humans are just one of the beasts.
“-Did you really need a human king?”
Some people might firmly deny it.
Some people might be offended as if they had exposed their private parts.
Humans, too, were, are, and will be beasts.
Therefore, the king of beasts also existed in humans.
He is not a fake king with petty power that only tens of thousands, tens of millions, tens of millions of people follow.
Ebon was looking for a king in the true sense that represents all humans.
“Actually, the human king hasn’t appeared even once since the beginning of the first year.”
Humans will have their own king.
That is why there is no need for a human king.
After that declaration, the human king disappeared.
The era of kings after the first year. Humans developed with their kings without a king.
Humans are superior, strong and special. Even elephants couldn’t go further in the jungle and wilderness, and the mountains became the masters of the mountains, but they couldn’t drive out humans.
Humans were the undisputed dominant species on earth.
So no one questioned that the king of beasts had assumed human form, nor cared that the king of men did not exist. They had too many kings to miss the lost king.
one.
Some of the kingdoms, fed up with all the kings on earth, wanted to find a true king who could embrace them all.
The reason why they are looking for the true king will be different for each of them. However, there was only one reason why Ebon was trying to find the human king.
“I’m not the guy you expect.”
He wanted to be assured that he was human.
You are a real human, not a cat beast. you are my cousin
I wanted to hear the story directly from the human king who deserved and had the ability.
“I will affirm you.”
‘How dare you…! Some kind of laborer!’
At the end of his life, towards him who glared at me with all his strength.
I calmly declared for him.
“Evon Crimson Wild. you are human I will guarantee it.”
‘What do you guys… know…!’
“Whether it is good intentions or ill intentions, that intelligence that builds a plan from the bottom up, executes it, and uses everything it has accumulated to achieve a goal while aiming for the next one even when it fails. Giving up one’s own life for a higher cause is only possible and functional as a fully human being.”
I’m just an ordinary person who can only read minds.
“What I’ve seen is just the tip of it, but that’s enough. You are unmistakably human in name and reality.”
Therefore, I speak on behalf of Lieutenant General Ebon is human.
“Even if they are beastmen, they are humans who have inherited some of the characteristics of beasts. It’s just that your distant ancestors committed a terrible sin… Well, it’s a bit like a crime, and it’s like being caught by an embarrassing sight that’s hard to brag about. Such characteristics are incidental. Your ears and tail don’t define you.”
Having read him, I calmly comforted Ebon.
“Your determination to achieve your goals, even by cutting off your ears and tail, paradoxically represents your humanity. Good work Human Ebon.”
‘…no way.’
Ebon was satisfied with just these words, though he spat out without qualification. The words he needed came at the last moment.
Born as a prisoner and raised under all sorts of persecution, he contributed to the destruction of the kingdom, the hotbed, and has struggled all his life against something no one will acknowledge.
Whether it’s the beasts who don’t change much even if the kingdom is destroyed, the resistance, the remnants of the kingdom that you hate, the king of beasts who are hard to deal with because they are fickle, or the self who progresses slowly compared to his efforts.
His hardships are sincere and hard work. nobody noticed Until you meet me today.
At the moment of death, when he was about to close his eyes in peace after gaining a little comfort from me.
where
can’t let go yet
“In the first place, cats and such are insignificant creatures that are too wasteful to be grafted onto humans. You didn’t think that suited you, did you?”
At my one word, the plating peels off his gilded humanity.
“Does man’s great reason disappear just because he has a little ears and a tail? No, those ears and tails are the dim moonlight hidden by the sunlight, or the starlight that can’t even be seen. You had ears and a tail, but you became a lieutenant general through brilliant reason, endless patience, effort, and learning.”
It affirms humans and denies beasts. Beyond that, insult the beast.
But is this really what he wanted?
“Think of a cat. On the subject of chasing rats, pretending to be clean and noble. An insignificant animal that can’t survive if it’s not cute, doesn’t know the subject and has a nasty personality. It’s useless to be tired of names. Even if he is thrown outside, he survives by far and wanders through the back alleys. Is there even a speck of dust between that filthy hairball and you?”
does not exist. Of course, even though they are beastmen, their way of life is human. Because it is far from the real cat. Even if Lieutenant General Ebon is a cat beast, he cannot sympathize with him.
Even so.
he can’t be happy
“It is over. Listen.”
I lifted my fingers and put them to my mouth, then closed my hands and pretended to put them to my ears.
And from down there came the cry of an animal.
‘The dog… the king.’
Aji’s roar. The sound of kicking off the ground and leaping right after. The butterfly’s scream follows soon after.
The sound of something breaking could be heard from here. Bang bang A couple of times, something is heavily loaded into the ground. The vibrations were so intense that they even transmitted to the rooftop, and the abyss resonated.
‘…The cat king is inferior in strength to the dog king.
As expected by Ebon, it wasn’t long before.
Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
life… I hear the groaning of the gradual decline.
Aji who threw off the chain is to condemn the butterfly that has been tormenting him.
With the ruthless rules that are common among beasts.
“for a moment! Azi! stop it! If you shake it like that, you will die…!”
what. It looks like something got in the way. Apparently, the king of cats is not dead right away.
It doesn’t matter.
Ebon’s eyes were trembling enough.
“look. Humans need to be merciful to barely survive, right? Even if you criticize him for being the king of cats, it is nothing compared to dogs. Either as a beast or as a king. It’s not far off the mark. That’s why you were trying to secure Aji, and you tried to make sure that someone was attached while leaving Aji and Nabi alone.”
For a moment, Ebon was furious. After that, he couldn’t find out why he was angry.
He was a cat beastman, but he didn’t want to become a beast, so he abandoned his habit and cut off his ears and tail. That alone was not enough, so he joined an organization called the Warrant of All Things in order to be fully recognized as a human being.
Ebon wanted someone to affirm that he was human.
however.
actually.
“He said he was the king of cats, and went crazy because he was drugged. Among the kings of beasts, is there any beast that has become as pitiful and miserable as that? Isn’t it amazing? I should have died Are you saying it’s strange that cat beasts exist?”
“stop!”
Even in the midst of dying, Ebon shouted as he burned his life. Even though further words only shortened his lifeline, he violently rebelled, coughing up blood.
“…Don’t insult me! rather…!”
“Did I curse at the cat?”
“Damn it…! A lie…!”
“haha. I’m finally being honest.”
why are you angry The reason is simple.
“You didn’t mean to be human.”
The cat inside it could not be completely separated.
“I just wanted to be acknowledged as a cat beast.”
no one else but himself.
“That’s why Claw couldn’t give up and his fighting style strangely resembled that of a cat. I despised the king of cats, but sympathized with him, so I tried to at least keep him by his side and watch him.”
To the topic that I couldn’t bear to give up on the cat part that I had been with for the rest of my life, to the topic that I wanted to be recognized for itself.
In addition to the persecution suffered by beasts, the inferiority of beasts realized while taking part in the lord of all things. He couldn’t stand it and wanted to be recognized as a pure human being.
“liar. I didn’t even want to become a pure human being.”
Last but not least, Ebon’s eyes widened when he was pointed out what he really wanted.
“Goodbye, Avon Crimson Wild. You stupid human being who cut off his ears and tail but didn’t give up his claws. You avenger who hated cats, but hated the kingdom that made you hate cats even more. Poor servant who despised the king but never forsook him.”
‘That’s… is it? I…’
“You tried to cut off a part of yourself and became a monster. Because you are already human in your own way.”
‘…I guess I didn’t hate it that much.’
A faint smile remains at the tip. and.
just do it Ebon closed her eyes.
It was a turbulent life, and it was fierce to the end. He did not come down in desperation, nor did he fall blinded by a sense of resonance. From start to finish, he sprinted toward his goal.
Although there was a big twist in the middle.
Still, I’m glad I found my way in the end.
After feeling the afterglow, I raised my body and shouted.
“Mr. Rash! It’s done! Let’s go down now!”
There was no answer. The Undead, whose body was made of a material similar to mud, blocked out most of the sound by covering its ears. Even with mind reading, he couldn’t even recognize my voice.
I said, widening my mouth at the stunned man.
“Mr. Rash! It’s over!”
“what? I can’t hear you!”
It doesn’t seem to hear anything.
wait then
“Hey, you stupid immortal bastard! Did you ask me to take a hit when you were going to punch me like that? Do you know that if you don’t search, other people won’t search too? Yangachi has no conscience! Stop blocking your ears and go down…!”
By the time he said that, the Undead had already pulled out half of his finger.
My eyes met his. I said shyly.
“I thought you were covering your ears.”
“I did it because it seemed like the atmosphere was over!”
“…didn’t you hear?”
“I didn’t hear everything.”
Ahaha.
Awkward laughter continued as we faced each other. After a long laugh, I scratched my head and said.
“The ‘door’ has been closed for saying this too long. Still, I found a clue to the escape, so let’s go down.”
“Good. however.”
The Undead raised a fist and said.
“Can I hit you once? I’m going to beat you, really.”
“No. I die. Really.”
