Epilogue, the beginning, not the end (4)
The trial is over.
Kim Pan-seok, who stepped out of the courtroom with light steps, discovered heterogeneous beings (?) waiting for him.
Papa papapat.
Flashes went off in all directions.
Reporters from beyond the dimension rushed toward Kim Pan-seok.
“Mr. Kim Pan-seok! How the hell did this happen?”
“People in the Korean Empire and around the world remember Kim Pan-seok as the white-clad wizard. By the way, the former life of Emperor Alexander? Is everything you’ve been doing as a white-clad wizard a lie?”
“In the end, you were acquitted. Do you really think that is the right decision?”
It was an uproar.
They were people who did not exist in Dmitri’s world, but they were allowed to cover issues related to Kim Pan-seok.
Dmitri’s people looked at the reporters with curious eyes.
A well-dressed suit and a camera with a flash were not found in a world where magical civilizations developed.
sure thing.
The white magician.
It was true that the issue related to Kim Pan-seok was the most attention-seeking issue in the Korean Empire.
A person who, like Roman Dmitri, defeated the absolute and showed one of the best performances in this cataclysm.
Undoubtedly, he was a war hero.
People cheered for Kim Pan-seok, and even though there are great wizards in Dmitri’s world, they raised their voices, saying that the white-clad wizard is the best.
In fact, unlike most of the people who played an active part in the war, he was from the Korean Empire.
So I had no choice but to be very proud of him, but when it was revealed that he was Alexander’s previous life, I was shocked.
Rather, it was more than Dmitry’s world.
Dmitri’s people suddenly said, ‘Alexandre’s reincarnation exists beyond the dimension?’ If they accepted reality to this extent, the people of the Korean Empire had years of knowing Kim Pan-seok.
Memories piled up step by step. As I watched from beginning to end the process by which the nothingness gained a reputation as a white-clad wizard, apart from the acquittal of Kim Pan-seok, I couldn’t help but feel a great sense of betrayal.
the gaze of reporters.
full of anger
Dmitri’s people showed mercy through death and repentance, but the anger of the people of the Korean Empire has not yet been resolved.
‘This must also be a karma I have to repay in my lifetime.’
One of many cameras.
Looking at the lens, Panseok Kim said.
“In fact, from the time I was allowed to live a new life until now, it has been a series of trials. At first, I was not happy with my new life, having already done many evil things in my previous life. I won’t say that the time I’ve been active as a white-clad wizard is all sincere. It is true that I was happy to exist as a white-clad wizard rather than the life I lived as Alexander. sorry. I sincerely apologize for disappointing you, and I will show you repentance in the future according to the punishment of the judge.”
He bowed his head.
It was separate from the trial.
Standing at a new fork in the road, Kim Pan-seok chose to shoulder the karma of his previous life.
* * *
A single apology did not solve the problem.
Kim Pan-seok, who barely escaped the pursuit of reporters, encountered an unexpected person in a quiet space.
“Alexander. No, I should call you Kim Pan-seok from now on.”
Caught hair.
sharp eyes.
He was Kevin.
Kevin showed strange hostility and blocked Kim Pan-seok’s way.
“It’s a lot of fun. To think that the white-clad sorceress who worked together to destroy the absolute was actually Emperor Alexander. I want to tear you limb from limb, but apart from my sincerity, the reason I’m keeping you alive is because you helped Emperor Roman Dmitry. The court also appreciated that fact and found you not guilty, so I won’t comment on the wrongdoings of your previous life.”
“… The look in your eyes is quite dangerous for not making it a problem?”
It was a strange atmosphere.
With the momentum that seemed like he was going to attack with a sword at any moment, Panseok Kim raised his magic power and looked at the opponent’s reaction.
Kevin laughed.
“There is something I want to check. People say that the white-clad sorceress, both in name and reality, is the second in line for His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. Do you think so too?”
It became clear.
Kevin’s intent.
It was just the ordering.
Kim Pan-seok laughed for a moment.
It would not be strange to say that Kevin’s longing for Roman Dmitri, then and now, was madness.
“Ask first before answering. you and chris The ranks shouldn’t have been sorted out between the two, but do you think of yourself as the second person in the Dmitri Empire?”
“Chris is a difficult problem that has not yet been solved. But when I asked for a ranking, Chris announced to me that he would be retiring soon. He said that now that His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry had returned, he would retire from the field and lead a normal life. So please answer Who do you think is Dmitri’s second-in-command?”
It was unexpected.
chris.
His aspiration to surpass Roman Dmitri without fail has faded away from his sense of purpose apart from development as 30 years have passed.
I realized the reality while experiencing the state of heaven.
No matter how desperately he tried, it was absolutely impossible to defeat Roman Dmitri and become the best swordsman on the continent.
Accepted reality.
If I had lived on the border between daily life and waiting, I wanted to focus on my daily life and family from now on.
Kim Pan-seok repeated Kevin’s words.
In fact, it was the most ideal picture to tell me the answer I wanted in moderation and send it back.
If he, who had just returned from the trial, engaged in a battle with Kevin, there would be plenty of room for gossip later.
He quenched the anger that was boiling in his heart. He wanted to proudly claim the position of Roman Dmitri’s second-in-command, but to him, who had a lot of sins, that was a separate issue from strength.
Panseok Kim said.
“It leaves a real plague.”
It was different from what I thought in my head.
Clearly, he drew a peaceful picture in his head, but Pan-seok Kim instinctively showed a perverse attitude.
sin is sin
this is this
I could never allow myself to think of living a good life in the future or to lose my place in that category.
“Are you sure? Are you confident that you can take away Lee In-ja’s place against me?”
spilled water
Kim Pan-seok did not avert his gaze at all because of the life that bloomed in Kevin’s eyes.
* * *
Changed seat.
A secret arena used by Dmitri’s main characters.
When we reached the place where the magic defense was installed, Kevin drew his sword and showed ferocious eyes.
“The rules are simple. One side admitting defeat. If someone dies because of this, it would also be disloyal to His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry.”
“okay. Simple.”
No more conversation was necessary.
The moment our eyes meet.
pod.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Kevin ran.
Despite the fast movements that transcended human limits, Kim Pan-seok’s eyes did not show even the slightest embarrassment.
“Illusion.”
Papa papapat.
A welcome arose.
Kim Pan-seok’s existence was divided into hundreds, and then, enchanting Kevin’s mind, he simultaneously manifested magic.
“Explosion.”
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
Fire broke out on all sides.
While Kim Pan-seok sacrificed the Absolute as a sacrifice on the altar, he now lost his power, but succeeded in forming the 10th ring in his heart.
It didn’t mean that I had actually reached the 10th circle. It only existed and had no power at all, but the existence of the 10th circle endowed the 9 rings with explosive power unlike before.
Hundreds of spells.
It all materialized.
Each erupted with powerful force, following Kevin’s quick movements and creating a massive explosion.
puffer puffer.
Puff pup pup pup pup!
The fire blazed through.
In a world of fire, Kevin stretched out his sword toward the flames that engulfed him.
‘The first half of the second half of the Heavenly Demon Sword.’
Quaang!
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwak Kwak!
The flames were torn apart as they were.
Magical power raged and the flames were swept away, and in the midst of that, Kevin’s gaze accurately found Kim Pan-seok’s location among countless illusions.
The additionally manifested magic did not work at all. Kim Pan-seok captured Kevin’s movements with sharp eyes as he saw Kevin attacking and slashing away everything.
“Eagle eye.”
Flash.
pod.
dodged the attack.
The magic exploded at the same time as the damage was done with a narrow gap, and when Kevin counterattacked by blocking it, the attack was let go again this time.
Papa papapat.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It was a startling move.
Against a warrior like Kevin, he was at a disadvantage in close combat, but Kim Pan-seok, who had been facing Roman Dmitri, was not pushed back in close combat.
Edwin Hector, who is regarded as the epitome of War Mage, was not at this level. No mage dared to fight Dmitri’s demon in close combat.
intertwined with each other
In a series of situations where magic explodes and swords tear through space, not a single meaningful attack succeeds.
“dare!”
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Kim Pan-seok widened his eyes.
Kevin.
Admitted.
He defeated the absolute and proved that he was different from before, but Kim Pan-seok knew Kevin’s days as a slum boy.
Therefore, he could not accept the reality that was equal to him. After shaking off Kevin’s pursuit with link magic, 9 circles ran out of control and manifested one magic.
“Lightning Punishment.”
Flash.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A bolt of lightning struck.
I thought I would deal enough damage this time to the attack that engulfed Kevin’s existence.
however. Go through the
lightning
.
Kevin appeared.
The more the battle intensifies, the more they exchange attacks and defenses with each other.
Kevin’s eyes turned red.
Even after raising the demon demon to the extreme, he controlled his reason and showed a movement beyond human limits.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Lightning passed by.
Starting with that, dozens of lightning attacks exploded within a second, but Kevin kept up with them and let them go.
It was a speed that even Kim Pan-seok could not keep up with. I tried to distance myself from Kevin by moving space with Blink, but at some point I noticed Kevin appearing right in front of me.
‘Lee Cho-sik in the second half of the Heavenly Demon Sword.’
Flash.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwak Kwak!
The magic has been torn away.
A shiver went through his whole body.
Dmitry’s demon.
He wasn’t what he used to be.
Just like the result of defeating the absolute, after 30 years, Kevin has reached a level he can’t even dare to imagine. It was a truly astounding growth.
How the hell can you develop like this? Kim Pan-seok did not know how great the effort was that he had invested in the Heavenly Demon Sword for 30 years without missing a single day.
pod.
Blood spattered.
The face was cut.
Kim Pan-seok’s face was contorted.
This made it clear.
‘If I do not do my best, I will be defeated.’
blast furnace.
“surrender! I will surrender!”
Startle.
Kevin stopped.
At the sudden declaration of surrender, Kevin looked at Kim Pan-seok with an absurd look.
* * *
Fighting with Kevin?
It was important.
He wanted to win somehow and take the place of Lee In-ja, but unlike Kevin, Kim Pan-seok was a person who thought about the future.
‘If you absorb the power of the absolute with the altar skill, it won’t be impossible to defeat Kevin with the 10th circle magic. But it’s only a one-time thing. If I lose next time, the meaning of this victory will fade.’
Kim Pan-seok saw the distant future.
There was only one corpse of the Absolute that he possessed.
It was a secret weapon.
The moment he destroyed the 10th circle, he was confident that even Kevin would break it down, but the important problem for Kim Pan-seok now is to analyze the power of the absolute and reach the perfect 10th circle. quenched the anger
I wasn’t foolish enough to bet on reality with the future as much as the period of my life when I went from being a wimp to Alexander to being a wizard in white.
said Kevin ferociously.
“Why? It must not be full yet.”
“It is true that it is not power. But if I show my full potential now, I will never be able to stand against you again.”
told the truth
that too.
It was the same with self-esteem.
He lost his strength as he started a new life as Kim Pan-seok, but that was not an excuse to soothe his pride.
I was annoyed.
Is that why?
“Just accept your victory this time. The next time I try to pass your seat, then I’ll bet you give me the second person’s seat. Enjoy the victory to the fullest for now.”
fired nervously.
Kevin drew his sword.
Kim Pan-seok was a very threatening person, but for Kevin, the goal was fully achieved with the current result of raising the white flag.
Kevin laughed.
“I assure you. There will be no such thing.”
The fierce Lee In-ja war.
It was the moment to finally put an end to the game.
Of course, it wasn’t the complete end.
Panseok Kim and Kevin.
The evil relationship between one or two followers of Roman Dmitri will continue in the future.
