I was hit by the pouring flames and pain started to spread through my entire body.
…It hurt. It really hurt. My skin cracked from the high temperature and my eyeballs felt ripe.
Jung Heewon endured her tears and kept attacking me. The flames that destroyed evil burned away at my wounds and all my flesh.
I probably would've fainted from the pain if it wasn't for Fourth Wall. Even so, my body didn't break.
The shocked Jung Heewon asked, “What is going on with your body?”
“…The damage is probably too insufficient.”
The rate of my stamina consumption was accelerated but it wasn't enough to kill me in the remaining time. I didn't expect that even Jung Heewon wouldn't be sufficient.
Honestly, I was at a loss for words. Maybe it was because I was judged to be 'narrative-grade.'
[The nebula 'Vedas' is rejoicing in your pain.]
[The remaining attack time is 10 minutes.]
[The constellations of the nebula 'Papyrus' are making a toast.]
This was just the beginning. A huge shock wave spread through the hall and my body started to grow again.
[The third phase of the '73rd Demon King' is starting.]
[Your body has become harder.]
We had now reached the third phase. I shouted without feeling panic, “Everybody, stay awake! Do you remember?”
The party members nodded and skillfully changed the formation. However, I could see that Cho Youngran's Mechanical Gateway Array Method had slightly collapsed from my explosive increase in magic power.
In the end, Cho Youngran coughed up blood and sat down. The timing of this was faster than expected. Demonic energy started to fill the whole hall and the party members became weaker as they received debuffs.
Now I had to borrow a hand that I hadn't wanted to borrow.
[The constellation who doesn't yet have a name is looking at his incarnation.]
Shin Yoosung trembled after receiving my message and shook her head. My incarnation Shin Yoosung had felt my determination long ago.
'Ahjussi, I can't do it. Please.'
I stared at Shin Yoosung.
This was the relationship between a constellation and incarnation. Rather than speaking one hundred words, I conveyed my indescribable and deep emotions just by looking at them. Shin Yoosung finally burst out crying as the violent emotions were one-sidedly passed on.
'I understand.'
The pain and bitterness in the small child's heart resonated and as a constellation, I could hear it more than anyone.
Shin Yoosung held the other child's hand and stood up. “Gilyoung. Let's go. We have to do it.”
Shin Yoosung's eyes shone yellow. The characteristics of Beast Master were started to manifest. There was a great trembling in the hall and I soon heard a tearing sound. A giant beast's snout appeared in the gap.
The chimera dragon. The giant monster that would later become a destruction species flapped its giant wings as it was summoned to the hall. However, the chimera dragon hesitated instead of attacking when it saw me.
[The 2nd grade monster species, the 'Chimera Dragon' has refused its master's command.]
[The 2nd grade monster species, the 'Chimera Dragon' feels terrified of the 73rd demon king.]
Blood poured from Shin Yoosung's nose. She couldn't control the 2nd grade monster alone yet. I watched Lee Gilyoung and said, “Gilyoung. Think of this as a game.”
Lee Gilyoung looked up at me. I stared at the child's eyes and remembered the words I had once spoken as we walked through the darkness.
It was a conversation that occurred when we wandered together through the darkness of Geumho Station. The moments that passed like nothing became precious memories that returned.
“Even if I die, I will come back. I promise.”
These stories became the power to kill me.
“…Aaaaaah!” Lee Gilyoung howled and used Taming.
