Relife Player 061
[Chapter 027]
[Dawn Department Store (6)]
I used to dream sometimes.
It was a dream I inevitably had on days when I felt the accumulated mana weighing down my whole body.
It is a vivid dream that remains memorable even after waking up.
do you want power?
white world.
Up and down, front and back.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
A world where no concept exists.
In that world, he was alone.
I’m really alone…?
Suddenly, I had such a question.
It was a world where nothing existed, but something spoke to it in that world.
do you want power?
Likewise.
It was a sound I heard every day when I was lying in bed because my body couldn’t release mana and my body became hot.
A voice that sounds like neither a man nor a woman.
She listened to the sound echoing in the white world—
‘─Don’t listen.’
One day, I would recall what Eunha said in a serious tone.
Eunha had said.
You shouldn’t listen to the voice.
never again. No matter what.
It was the advice she had heard when she woke up at her grandmother’s house.
‘why?’
‘Because it’s dangerous. It may have gone well this time, but I can’t guarantee it will go well the next time.
So don’t listen
don’t ask for anything
I’ll make sure my sister’s wishes come true.’
‘Then Eunha, what do you want?’
‘uh?’
At that time, Eunha could not hide her embarrassed face.
Eun-ah promised to kiss him on the cheek.
‘Then Eunha, I’ll make your wishes come true. What I want you to do.’
‘…Yes, I will. Then can’t we listen to the voice again? It’s a promise.’
‘Yes, promise!’
It was the promise of a morning that was still cool.
☆
You’ve never killed a person, have you?
…uh?
Haven’t you ever killed a monster?
The man recognized the fact that he was looking at her as a player only belatedly.
Although she wasn’t a player, she was just an elementary school student.
There was no way she would be able to kill a human as she hadn’t even killed a monster yet.
If she was a normal thinking person, no matter how heinous a criminal he was, somewhere in his subconscious mind the brakes would have been put on, telling him not to kill people.
That’s why the mana she exploded like a bomb in front of her eyes didn’t do much damage. It would have been possible to wipe out the whole area if that much mana had been poured into it, but it was nothing more than a loud bomb with only light and sound.
The same was true when attacking vital points. The moment she kicked the man’s vitals, she inadvertently added or subtracted her strength.
The man was taken aback by the attack that burst in between his legs, but it didn’t hurt in the slightest.
Moreover, didn’t you hold it with your thighs in the middle?
As long as she had a normal mindset, there was no chance of defeating him.
Like this.
ruler.
The man handed her a knife that had fallen to the floor.
…uh?
Receiving the knife with the broken tip, she looked up with an incomprehensible gaze.
stab If you stab this, I’ll free that sister.
A man’s temptation to stab himself.
There is a knife in the hand.
A weapon that can kill a man.
are you okay. My brother won’t be angry. stab me once.
The man pointed his hand to his chest. Then he pulled his arm to help him stab his chest.
If you stab this here, no matter how strong you are, you have no choice but to die.
Did you see it in a movie or drama too?
The blue blade was shining at him.
The hand holding the knife trembled.
The man was defenseless.
The weapon was in your hand. If I put my mind to it, I could have overcome this situation.
I could beat it, but I couldn’t move my hands.
You have a bad personality.
The man with Julieta over his shoulder frowned.
What the man with his shirt undone was doing was nothing more than light entertainment.
He was sure she wouldn’t be stabbed.
Even if it was stabbed, it didn’t matter. He wanted to see her, who would instantly protect herself with mana and howl when her actions, even abandoning normal thinking, failed.
Let’s do it right and go back.
The purpose was accomplished. As a bonus, he even got the women.
The monsters that covered the first floor with slime were also showing signs of disappearing.
If you continue like this, you will not be able to escape and you will be caught.
Oh that’s right
It was when the man with the shirt undone agreed with the man in the beanie.
─Kuh!
Eun-a stabbed the man’s arm with the knife she was holding.
The man reflexively protected himself, but the response was delayed by an unexpected point.
The skin was torn. The pure white sleeves were dyed red.
haha…!
don’t think
should not think
Eun-a, who stabbed the man in the arm and ran away, tried not to listen to the sound of something appealing.
I felt like crying. My hands were shaking and I felt like I was going to vomit.
When I asked if this year was coming, it was very…
Gyaa-!!
Eun-a, who was running on the floor, fell down right before she touched Julieta.
It was because the man who ran after him pressed down from above.
banged his head on the floor The sensation of blackening my eyes to the point of dizziness was more frightening than the impact of my forehead hitting the floor.
still…!
You can still do it.
She released mana like unlocking a locked box.
this…!
The man was perplexed. It was because she had released the control over the mana in her body.
Mana that was out of control and expressed outside the body was a double-edged sword. The flowing mana turned into a blade and began to gnaw away at the man while at the same time gnawing at her body.
It hurts…!
Eun-ah couldn’t stand the pain as if something was biting her body.
I woke up, but my head was hot. It was difficult to move the limbs.
I still had to get up.
I could still do it.
The kid is very…! You’re making people suffer!
If she caused a runaway here, it would be difficult to be safe.
The man who had been swearing at me squeezed through the raging storm.
I had to knock her out even for a moment. That way, the mana that started to cover the area would disperse.
If you make a mistake, you can’t escape and you can die.
The man who struggled into the center hit her on the head with all his might.
Wow!
Even though he couldn’t control the amount of mana in his body, he could increase the amount of mana flowing out.
Instantly increasing the amount of discharge right before the man’s hand reached her, she struggled to save Giulietta.
little bit more.
Could.
Is this crazy!
The man waved his hand in an urgent tone.
The mana that enveloped the area was unusual. If it ran rampant beyond this point, the entire area, let alone himself, might be blown away.
Are you determined to die right now!?
little bit more…!
little bit more.
She struggled to get away from the man.
Hurry up… I’m sleeping!
little bit more.
You can still do it.
It needs a little more power.
So strength.
The power to save Julieta.
power…!
do you want power?
It was then that I heard a voice.
Eunha told me not to listen to that sound.
I had promised.
I will never listen to you again.
But I couldn’t help but listen.
Sorry. I’m sorry, Eunha.
There was something I wanted to protect.
There were so many things I wanted to protect.
I didn’t want to feel the fear of losing a precious person like that day.
I didn’t want to feel helpless having to watch alone like that day.
What if it was Eunha?
If it was a galaxy, I would protect it no matter what.
Even if you break your promise.
me too…!
No matter what. Even if you break your promise.
I needed strength.
power to save her.
strength to overcome the situation.
The power to overcome helplessness.
I would give anything for power.
So, give me strength—
give me strength—!
─What?
The white-tinged world collapsed like a glass window.
The shards that fell on the floor melted into transparency, and the color spread from where the shards fell.
The world regains its color and sound—.
-Mr. Bruno?
A huge shadow cast over the collapsing world.
-Get your hands off my wife.
The angry bear threw a speculation.
☆
A giant wrapped in thick mana.
Just standing there gave off an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
Still, the giant did not stop.
He surveyed the situation from the corner of his eye, and his eyes flashed when he saw the woman on the shoulder of a man in a red beanie for the last time.
Speculation exploded.
Gut…!
It was so thick that it was painful to breathe.
It took an instant for the giant to fill the area with fighting spirit and mana.
…Uncle Bruno. Julieta unnie, unnie…
well done. Leave the rest to me.
Geohan comforted Eun-ah who was lying on the floor.
Eventually, the mana runaway caused her to lose consciousness. It seems that he overused the mana in his body, but it was useful to have endured this far at such a young age.
The giant covered her with the jacket he was wearing.
And I took one step.
just one step.
It felt like the whole area was vibrating just by that. The atmosphere shook violently.
…what. Who are you?
The man with his shirt undone spoke with a feeling of intimidation.
Just making eye contact seemed to take my breath away.
This guy… what the hell is this guy!?
He never thought there would be such a strong man.
There was no way he wouldn’t have known if he was this strong in the first place, but he was seeing a giant for the first time here.
have to run away!
The man who untied his shirt a while ago had consumed a lot of energy while trying to stop the runaway mana.
There was no way he had the strength left to deal with the giant.
I wasn’t sure if I would have been able to deal with the giant from the beginning.
The man didn’t even wait for the giant’s answer and ran out with the mindset of saving his life.
where to go
omg…!
The man with his shirt undone tried to stretch out his arm.
But the arm didn’t move.
So were the legs.
The mana that had been swirling around became thorny vines, entangling his limbs.
The man struggled to break free from the thorns.
But the more he struggled, the more the thorns tightened. In addition, the sharp thorns absorbed mana and even inflated the body.
What is this…!
Suddenly, the man was eaten by thorns and could not be found.
Bruno, not a giant, lifted the head of a man buried in a vine.
Buy and save….
Question and answer dance.
The man whose face was caught begged desperately, but he did not forgive him.
Just the slightest force in his grip cracked his skull.
Kkeukkeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!
The sound of his own skull cracking was beyond terrifying and terrifying.
The indescribable sound gradually expanded its wavelength and became the sound of something cracking.
When the man realized what the sound was, it was after his head had been smashed without a shape.
…crazy.
The man in the red beanie came to his senses belatedly.
The beanie-wearing man backed away when he saw Bruno toss the debris in his hand downstairs like a pebble.
I engraved with my own eyes what fear is.
He didn’t want to experience having his head smashed.
…Fuck!
The man threw Giulietta, who was supporting her on his shoulder, into the square on the first floor covered in mucus.
Bruno hesitated.
The man ran away as soon as he saw Bruno jump down to the first floor plaza without hesitation.
It was as expected. Geohan was prioritizing saving women rather than killing themselves.
If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have been able to escape.
It was when the man in the red beanie came down to the third floor and barely relaxed.
-You dare.
A low-pitched sound was heard.
The man turned his head in the direction of the sound.
omg!
A gasp came out of nowhere.
There was Bruno. With one hand, she slung Giulietta over her shoulder, and with the other hand, she was dangling from the railing on the third floor.
Throwing Julie? And—
Veins swelled in the forearm holding onto the railing.
As if doing pull-ups with one hand, Bruno, who had come up to the third floor, glared at the man in the beanie.
-What did you do to Julie?
eyes were shining red.
No, it wasn’t that his eyes were shining.
The rest of the mana was wrapped in thick mana, and the eyes that were sparkling with speculation just looked like they were shining red.
what what
The man in the red beanie couldn’t believe what was happening right in front of his eyes.
Because Bruno’s body was gradually swelling.
It was not an illusion.
In fact, the clothes he was wearing were cracking and his swollen muscles were protruding from the cracks.
…Help me.
Only then did the man in the beanie understand why the woman he killed begged for his life.
As death looms in front of you, the instinct to live is springing out.
It’s my pride and to the point of throwing away everything.
To the point where I get down on my knees and beg.
The opponent was indeed a bear.
The man in the red beanie prayed with a trembling voice as if facing a ferocious monster.
repay with death
Bruno didn’t listen.
He swung his right arm with all his might and hit the man in the red beanie on the right cheek.
It was a relief that the head and body were not separated.
……!
The attack did not end with one attack.
Before he could even groan, his left cheek trembled.
The sound of something breaking was heard.
I couldn’t even determine where it was broken.
My eyesight wandered around.
It was truly terrifying.
Every time I heard the sound of bones breaking in my head, I tried to forget the reality. I wanted to forget.
I’d rather lose my mind.
In the face of the overwhelming fear of death, there was no word to ask for help.
The man realized that even asking for help can come out only when there is room for it to live.
I wanted to die now.
Even though it was only a few seconds, it felt like a long time had passed.
When the attack was over, it seemed that the senses in the head and body had fallen apart.
Strangely, I felt no sensation in my head.
The pain didn’t end there.
…….
I couldn’t even move my mouth.
I couldn’t even tell what was in the place where the mouth was.
I couldn’t tell if the foreign object shaking in my mouth was a tooth or a piece of bone.
Oh, the teeth are pieces of bone.
In the hellish pain, the man lost his mind.
Now that the pain was no longer real, all the pain suppressed the other pain, so I didn’t even feel sick.
However, it was terrible to see something bizarrely distorted in the field of vision from time to time, feeling something disappearing from the body one by one, something exploding inside the body.
It was more pain than pain.
Che il diavolo ti porti.
go down to hell
Bruno lifted up a clot of blood that should have been grateful to just breathe without recognizing its shape.
There was no hesitation in throwing the lump in his hand over the railing.
The man who had lost his mind before was unable to protect himself with mana and hit the floor directly.
All it did was cling to the floor like a dead insect, clinging to the floor and convulsing.
That was the end of the men.
