Chapter 862: The Last (95)

‘How can he remember that, you idiot?’

How could Hyunsung remember him when he had already saved so many people?

Thousands of thousands of people would appear if he assembled all the beings he had helped before.

‘Honestly, if I asked what you did years ago, would you be able to answer, you psycho bastard? For him, saving people is his everyday life.’

That was right.

“That was his everyday life…”

It wasn’t an exaggeration. To Kim Hyunsung, saving someone was a daily routine.

Whether the action was voluntary, intentional, or unconscious, that fact didn’t change.

During the tutorial and after that, he protected multiple individuals from harm.

There were times when he was away from me, so there must have been many other cases besides those I had seen.

He wasn’t cold enough to pretend he didn’t see those who were in crisis, after all, especially since he carried a responsibility no one else ever had.

Perhaps it was the influence of the benefactor he met in the first round, but I really couldn’t assess him since I didn’t know what Kim Hyunsung was thinking whenever he gave a helping hand to others…

Hence, it was way more appropriate to say that it was his everyday life.

It might not have been an act with good intentions, but the result didn’t change regardless of the reason.

Of course, he probably didn’t attach much meaning to his actions.

So maybe that was why he was confused right now. He thought that the consequences of his actions had turned for the worst.

-Ah…

-Didn’t you save me? The God of Sunset saved my life and my soul. From that day on, my life… became completely different from before. Your helping hand has allowed me to go this far, God of Sunset. It was all thanks to you. Do you remember?

‘Come on, how could he remember that, bastard? Don’t pretend to be close by making up some kind of link. You’re not that memorable. He doesn’t remember others’ faces and names.’

Song Sookyung, who continued to talk about a topic I couldn’t quite understand, was also a problem, but in fact, I was more worried about Hyunsung than the villain. After all, I could already guess what he was thinking.

He was probably already blaming himself. This time, too, he probably thought this was happening because of him, that he had done something he shouldn’t have.

He might feel disillusioned with the very act of helping someone he couldn’t even remember.

He was now angry at himself, others, and the malice of the world.

-D-Don’t be ridiculous!

-It’s true. I wouldn’t lie to you.

-Stop this insanity, bastard! Stop bullshitting me!

-At that time, you were really…

-Son of a bitch!

Raising his sword, Kim Hyunsung swung it at him.

Its red flash sliced off his arm at a speed that was hard to follow with the naked eye, but it didn’t seem like such a meaningful move.

Bizzare red lines wove together on the open wound and held his arm up before it could fall to the ground.

He was already in a state where he couldn’t be called human.

-What… What are you? Why…?

-…

-What the hell are you, you damn monster?! What the hell…? You came out of nowhere…

-Didn’t I tell you? My name is Song Sookyung. I am your first follower, and I decided to serve you when you saved me that day. Everything you see now, I prepared for you.

-Crazy bastard… Crazy bastard!

Boom! Boom!!! Boooom!! Booooooooooooom!!!

Kim Hyunsung swiftly swung his weapon multiple times as if to deny the guy’s existence, but the red magic floating around his body blocked his attacks.

The God of Sunset then appeared behind him in an instant and tried to hit him on the head again, but the red magic still defended the Song Villain.

Their powers colliding was enough to cause a huge noise to explode in all directions.

Watching it with my own two eyes was already exciting, yet it was even livelier in Director Ro’s camera work.

Drawing a circle with a camera focusing on Kim Hyunsung and Song Sookyung, the view zoomed in whenever they clashed. She was really good at catching things like that, probably because she was a demon.

The handsome regressor’s tears flowing down were shown.

It showed, in slow motion, the image of his kick half-floating in the air before the tears even fell to the ground. It wasn’t flashy, but we had to keep showing his sophisticated sword skills.

Yes, that one. We couldn’t miss that. We had to catch his facial expressions as well.

‘He’s handsome indeed. Really.’

Contrary to Kim Hyunsung’s desperate feeling, what he was showing now was jaw-dropping.

‘He’s the main character.’

This was what happened when the right character was displayed with the right camera angles.

I felt bad for him, but his desperate face just suited the mood of the play so well.

It hadn’t been long since we started, but they had already crossed the break-even point.

Even my hands were sweating while watching it, so I could only imagine what other people thought.

It was obvious. They wouldn’t just be sweating. They had to be crying and screaming and were probably praying with their hearts pounding for every action Hyunsung took.

Otherwise, the divinity that was now coming in would be inexplicable.

-Die, you son of a bitch!

I’d gotten so absorbed by it that I couldn’t even breathe properly.

Craaaash! Boooooooom!!

-You are not complete.

I hated to admit it, but the appearance of a standard villain was also one of the things that had got me so hooked.

His red magic, which had begun to take shape, took the form of various monsters. Though, I didn’t know if I should call them monsters.

They looked more like unidentified creatures rather than the monsters we knew.

There was a beast with limbs attached randomly and another with a face filled with thousands of eyes. Monsters of all sizes and shapes divided or changed shapes, taking their places on the temple’s ruins.

Personally, I wanted to applaud Song Sookyung for his good taste. His physical abilities would have limitations no matter how much he strengthened himself anyway, so it would’ve been the best option to go in that direction.

The monsters were multiplying into hundreds, no, thousands of individuals.

Some of them even took root and covered the temple, making it look like hell.

Red slime, tentacles, and strangely shaped beings piled up on each other to create a bizarre-looking building.

On top of the ruins, he overlaid his own temple.

‘Fuck… That visual…’

Among them, Song Sookyung with red wings was frankly…

‘He looks like a real demon.’

-Come on! Come on, show me! Your power! Your greatness!

‘Even his lines are filled with malice. Who could sanely say a line like that?’

They were actions that only Song Sookyung could do.

-Show me how strong and perfect you are, how noble and holy, how sublime your light is! Yes, just like back then! Like back then, when I…

-You bastard… son of a bitch! I don’t care about what you’re talking about.

I saw the beasts being split into dozens as Hyunsung ripped through them.

One of the monsters tried to grab Kim Hyunsung’s back, swinging his huge arms, but he was soon sliced into four and thrown backward.

A huge tail soon passed by Kim Hyunsung’s side, and as soon as he stepped on it, dozens of small individuals surrounded him. However, with a swing of his sword, the glow of the sunset flashed, obliterating them piece by piece.

-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

‘That’s a new skill.’

I guessed he could divide his huge blow, which required charging, into small amounts.

Boooooooom!!

Whenever the sunset light shone, the beasts scattered with both loud and faint sounds.

Huge tentacles soon protruded from the bizarre structure that had encroached on the temple and rushed Kim Hyunsung. However…

‘How did you avoid that?’

“He’s really great.”

I found no space to escape from that predicament, but he had still found a way, and after spreading his wings, I could see him running toward the gap.

Some were unavoidable, forcing him to use his sword, but he dodged most of them. He not only flew around and destroyed those that blocked him, but he even stepped on the ones fallen on the floor to boost himself up.

Boooooooooooom!!

-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

-God of Sunset…

I was lucky, being able to watch that scene from multiple perspectives.

The people of the continent would also be watching with their mouths open. Where could they watch this for free? I could be sure that they would be more surprised if they knew the truth.

Considering Song Sookyung had my eyes, I could fathom Hyunsung’s power even less now.

‘That’s crazy.’

The Song Villain was probably looking at Kim Hyunsung’s view.

It might not be perfect, but maybe he knew in advance what he was thinking and where he was heading.

Surprisingly, he still couldn’t stop Kim Hyunsung, even though having my eyes was the same as having the map revealed and then engaging in a strategy simulation game where he could see the enemy’s future movements.

He was already showing skills that went beyond common sense, shocking me even more.

No words needed to be said, considering he was destroying all of the demons with his physical abilities alone.

-You are amazing, after all. Haha… Messiah!

-Shut up, bastard! Give it up. Give it to me!

Did he not have enough influence over my skill? Was it because he wasn’t yet proficient enough to limit his actions?

Booooooooooooom!!!

-You’re still incomplete but don’t worry. I will complete you. In the place of that ugly and filthy Son of Light, I will make you whole. I mean, Lee Kiyoung. He was your obstacle, but I’m different. I will never stand in your way.

‘You’re blocking him right now, though.’

-Don’t say his name! You disgusting bastard!

-Why?

-Don’t disgrace him! What do you think you know, you son of a bitch? Don’t talk like you know the story.

-Can’t you see yourself now?

-…

-Weak, ugly, useless. He made you weak. He imprisoned and oppressed you from realizing your full potential. It didn’t matter how he looked from the outside. He was always making the wrong choice for you. You are an object of faith. You…

-Don’t force your bullshit on me. I’m not a god. I’m a human, and I will live as one!

-You know that’s impossible, don’t you? I can see it.

-…

-You feel different from before, for you are holding divinity within you. That shows how powerful and great the God of Sunset is compared to those foolish mortals. My belief in you wasn’t wrong, and I feel that way even more now.

-Those eyes are not yours.

-Now…

-Give me back those eyes, you son of a bitch. Give them back to him!

-…

– What’s left of me now…

-…

Kim Hyunsung took hold of his trembling hands, twisting his face strangely, and spoke.

-Now… These are all that’s left of him.

It made him look all the more miserable.
