Meaning of Teacher (6)

A constellation, the saintess of the oracle.

That was the nickname given to Estelle as a constellation.

There is no known criterion for determining this name, so I don’t know where it came from, but it was a very good name in the current situation.

‘Saint of the Oracle’.

Isn’t it a pretty plausible nickname to raise morale?

“Don’t back down! The Constellation is with us!”

“Keep the front lines! Don’t get pierced by the Witchbeast!”

The waves of demon beasts and the defending frontline of hunters form the middle ages.

If you attack each one, there will be no end to the situation.

However, the current solution is clearly shown in ‘Great Mathematics’.

After all, teaching how to deal with an army of demons is the very subject.

“There is always a commanding entity in the Demonic Beast Army. Find him.”

“Yeah.”

Estelle’s mental control spreads forward.

I can’t move because I have to maintain my sympathetic nervous system, so Estelle takes over that role this time.

I didn’t have any concerns about whether I would do well.

Because I know Estelle’s talent and bloody hard work better than anyone else.

“···ah.”

And not long after, she let out a short sigh.

“Did you find it?”

“…Yes. I did find it…”

Estelle’s eyes looked at me with embarrassment.

“I think I’m in a bit of trouble.”

big deal? Before he could even ask, the sky was shaken.

The black sky, thick with black clouds, roared, and storms and thunderstorms raged.

At the moment when the weather changed in an instant and it was unusual, there was a single person who was slammed to the ground with a ray of black lightning.

Quarreureung—!

Scattered dust spreads thickly in all directions.

The first thing revealed between them were bright red eyes.

Then, in my vision, which slowly opened, I saw a jet-black suit shining in a dull ink light.

It was the moment when the emperor, a uniquely heterogeneous existence among the beasts, appeared.

“uh···.”

“That’s…”

Hunters forgot even the battle and looked at it in shock.

All of the beasts all bowed their heads toward the emperor, while the hunters, on the contrary, were busy stepping backwards or standing still in a daze.

It was the first time he had appeared on the battlefield, but no one asked who he was.

A mighty demon that surrounds the whole world and a huge presence that seems to weigh down the soul.

Because there was only one person in the world who possessed both.

“Emperor···?”

The ground surrounding the emperor trembled with the words of an unknown person.

The ground, which had been shaking as if an earthquake had occurred, soon crumbled roughly, and a huge snake pierced the ground and rose from within.

Ouroboros.

The lord of the snakes raised his yellow eyes toward the humans.

“Uh…”

“Until the corps commander…”

Fear spreads like an epidemic and begins to eat away at the ranks.

Watching each of them lose their fighting spirit in fear, I silently accessed their consciousness.

And, simply erased their fears and fears.

“···uh?”

“What? It’s nothing.”

“I was really scared until just now…”

It is not that difficult to erase fear through the sympathetic nervous system and mental control.

Nevertheless, it is a little sorry for them to use this method now.

Lack of fear does not guarantee their lives.

““That is not something to be feared, it is an enemy to be defeated.”

Just like it was on Earth.

I removed their fear and planted an intangible will to fight.

“「Sing it again」”

“”That’s an enemy to be defeated!!””

“”All troops. Reorganize the battle lines.””

Moving in perfect order, they rearranged the disorganized battle lines.

Even up to that moment, the emperor was just quietly looking this way.

As if he had something to say.

“Can I win?”

“maybe.”

Fortunately, that emperor is not the main body.

Judging from the fact that he had a similar feeling to the one who fought alongside Kaya on Earth, there was a strong possibility that he was an alter ego.

“And we’re not the only ones fighting.”

“Yeah?”

The time has come.

When I raised my head to the familiar holy power felt in the distance, a ray of white light fell from the sky.

And there, a very welcome face was waiting for me.

“Hi. Did you wait for me?”

Adeline, who appeared first, approached, brushing her gray hair.

She waved her hand with a tired face.

“You’re there too. So… um…”

“Estel.”

“Yes. Estelle. Nice to meet you.”

Estelle replied with a sullen face and stood next to me a little longer.

While the two had a fierce snowball fight for a while, other people appeared in the light.

“Tada~! It’s out!”

“I heard that I needed help and ran right away.”

“Hello. I’m here, boss.”

Skadi, Roshua, and Laflis.

It seemed that they also came here with Adeline.

“I know I only called my assistant.”

“Ah~ What are you doing between us?

“·······.”

Is that why you came here wearing a hoodie?

I felt a little sorry for Laniakea when I thought that I would have carried 4 people at once.

Because it was she who helped with the transfer.

There were many stories I wanted to tell, but time was running out.

They lined up next to us, leaving the rest of the conversation for later.

“So what do we do now?”

When Skadi said that, all the eyes around me, including five, focused on me.

Did I really have to ask now?

“Adeline is the sympathetic nervous system. Professor Skadi and the three of you, please use Ouroboros.

“Then what does the professor do?”

I pointed to the emperor at Roshua’s question.

“I’m going to hit you on the head.”

It is the emperor who maintains this army.

In other words, if only the emperor is killed, the battle is over.

It won’t be easy, but for now it’s for the best.

Adeline immediately connected everyone’s sympathetic nervous system, and they all started to move in perfect order according to their respective roles.

Following the emperor’s beckoning, Ouroboros’ army marched, and soon the two forces collided fiercely.

“The Emperor…is still.”

“Because they’ll be waiting for us… no, me.”

It doesn’t look like anyone wants to fight.

“I’ll go first. Signal and follow me.”

“Yeah.”

Leaving her behind, I moved to where the emperor was.

*

thought the emperor.

Why is fate so twisted?

“It’s still time for you to meet.”

The emperor’s eyes saw Yujin Kang who had arrived in front of him.

“I only ask one question. How did you two meet?”

“I’m curious about everything.”

“Answer the question.”

The Emperor’s voice was serious.

It was a plain voice that had completely disappeared the jokes that had been buried until now.

Does this mean so much?

Yujin Kang answered the question to see the reaction.

“I was a professor at Helios, and Estelle was my first student.”

“… I see. A professor and a student.”

It wasn’t a very long explanation, but he nodded as if he understood.

“Is this really… is this a ‘better fate’?”

in the emperor’s world.

The constellation that was called the ‘Saint of the Oracle’ said so.

That we could have met with a better fate.

It would not be possible to conclude that it was necessarily Kang Yu-jin and Estelle’s relationship, but the emperor was sure.

That what-if history is now in front of his eyes.

“Yes. I understand roughly. That’s how it turned out.”

The reason Kang Yoo-jin became a professor.

That’s because he died at the end of the fight on Earth.

Appreciating his sacrifice and cunning, Raniakea brought him back to life.

And further back in time, in the end, it was all because the Emperor himself sent Diablo to Earth.

“Is it because I did something that never happened to me?”

I made some kind of observation.

What was done to advance the time to inform the ‘truth’ caused the butterfly effect like this.

Because of the emperor, Kang Yu-jin sacrificed herself, became a professor of Helios, and met Estelle as a teacher and disciple, not an enemy and an enemy.

“They’re the same age, but the paths they’ve walked are so different. It’s ironic.”

“What are you talking about earlier?”

“You still don’t know?”

He raises his hand and takes off his mask.

There, there was the face of Kang Yu-jin, who suffered from deeper years and deeper impoverishment.

“I am you, Yujin Kang. To be precise, I should say that you are the ‘future’ you once saw an end to.”

“·······.”

It would have been a very shocking confession.

However, Yujin Kang did not respond.

He just stared at the Emperor’s face in silence.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

“I’m not stupid enough to trust my enemies straight away.”

“Well, that would be a normal reaction for you.”

He looked directly at the emperor with unwavering eyes.

“And, to some extent, I expected it.”

“You expected?”

“Because there are too many things that fit together to be a coincidence.”

Yujin Kang interpreted the sympathetic nervous system of the beast and created ‘mind control’.

No one else could have done it, but Kang Yoo-jin did.

No wonder.

Mental disorder too. Sympathetic nervous system diagram.

Because it’s the technology he created.

They had the same abilities and the same way of thinking, but they couldn’t help but interpret them.

“That’s probably why your abilities and mine are so similar.”

“Yes. You understand well.”

There were moments when I tried to dismiss it as a coincidence.

It was actually possible, and it was a factor sufficient to pass it up.

But if you think about it, the angler fits perfectly.

“Above all, the face of the beast emperor is the same as mine.”

“ha ha ha.”

He was extremely serious, and he laughed cheerfully as if he had never done that.

In a way, it was a laugh that seemed to be relieved.

“I don’t know what kind of future you saw, but looking at it, it doesn’t seem like a very good ending.”

“Yeah. It came to a pretty fucking end.”

Should we call it the nostalgic past?

If this is also a memory, is it a memory?

Seeing the emperor smiling and opening his mouth was like looking at a madman.

“In my world, there was a witch and an emperor. That emperor wasn’t me, but I killed him anyway.”

“·······.”

“You know what? In my world, there was no group called ‘Pentagram’.

There was no ‘Diablo’ there.

Earth was just one of many, many ordinary battlefields, and only four hunters, including Kaya, found Earth.

There was no need to come all the way to Maria, so Laniakea had no reason to keep an eye on Earth.

“Nevertheless, I became friends with those four. Destiny or not, this is just like you.”

“So. How did you do it?”

“Killed them all.”

Kaya, Wolfgang, Angela, and Patrick.

The emperor killed them all.

“There was a time when we joined forces. The demons there weren’t that strong. It took less than three years to become the emperor.”

“·······.”

“And then, I knew the ‘truth’.”

truth.

The emperor’s voice became even heavier as he uttered those words.

The sounds of the battlefield where the fierce battle continued became distant, and it seemed that only two people were left in the world.

“The last test of ascension. You should know about the test that eats the world.”

He said without waiting for an answer.

“Do you know that the Earth was, in fact, the stage for that test?”

“·······.”

“Not that all the losses you’ve suffered were actually planned.”

voice.

Only voices echo.

In a place where all sounds are far away, only that voice resonates and echoes.

Yujin Kang did not answer.

“You-“

Just as the emperor was about to speak again, a beam of light from the sky separated the two of them.

A pair of spread wings and powerful holy power that removes the emperor’s overbearing demonic energy at once.

It was the moment when Laniakea descended on that spot.

“Retreat, Witchbeast.”

“·······.”

At the same time, starlight shines through the sky.

The Constellations that followed her began to gather together.

Cheers erupt from everywhere.

The appearance of allies is always a powerful medium that boosts morale.

Even more so if it was the Constellations led by the Empress.

“·······.”

However, Kang Yoo-jin is still far from the voice.

Laniakea in front of you.

The shouts of the battlefield full of cheers.

Everything was far away, just a man standing there.

“Eugene-sama? Hurry up behind me…”

“no.”

“···Yeah?”

“I’ll keep listening.”

He passed Laniakea and stepped forward.

“What… Eugene-sama?”

“Speak, Emperor. To the end.”

“I’m willing to.”

He seemed amused by the situation.

Looking at Laniakea’s uneasy face, a cold smile appeared on her face.

“Your comrades. Earth was the scapegoat for their ascension.”

“What… you…!”

Realizing what the emperor was about to say, Laniakea tried to attack her, but before that, Yujin Kang’s arm stopped her.

“Those four attracted the Witchbeast to Earth to become a Constellation. Diablo was drawn there. After that, as you know.”

War swept across the globe.

I lost my family in front of my eyes, and I killed Maria with my own hands.

Because of that war, Yujin Kang lost all her precious people.

“Do you understand? The people you called colleagues took everything from you. And after acknowledging it, the bitch who stood by is now behind you.”

“·······.”

A sharp gasping sound is heard.

The silver eyes looking at Kang Yoo-jin tremble violently.

The emperor held out his hand to Yujin Kang, who still had no answer.

“Come with me.”

“·······.”

“Together, we’re going to hit and kill all those fucking bastards.”

“Then, witches.”

“Of course, the demons must also all die.”

It’s almost over.

The emperor replied with a genuinely relieved face.

“After I kill them all, I will personally die at your hands.”

“·······.”

“Come this way.”

To the emperor who reached out his hand, Yujin Kang did not ask any questions.

There was no need to seek an answer.

Because he was himself, he could see that it was all the emperor’s sincerity.

“Is that all true?”

“Yu-sama, that’s…”

“Answer me.”

Your voice is cold.

Laniakea lowered her head, letting go of the hand she was about to extend.

“…Yes. It’s all true.”

“·······.”

“I’m really… I’m really sorry. Really…”

The joys and sorrows of men and women are mixed with Kang Yoo-jin in the middle.

all that tragedy.

all that pain.

It didn’t take long to look back on the history he had lived through.

Previously, Yujin Kang gave the final answer in silence.

“thank you.”

clap-

He pulled out his revolver and aimed it.

—Toward the emperor.

“…what-“

bang!

A bullet with condensed mana strikes his head.

bang! bang! bang!

The bullets fired in succession pounded the emperor’s whole body.

All the chambers were fired, and the emperor’s body was pushed back a couple of steps.

It was a refusal to empty all six-round magazines.

“What are you doing! It’s all of them that you’ve come to that point…!”

“So what?”

“What is…?”

Kang Yoo-jin said to the dazed emperor.

“So did my family members kill them? Did they kill Maria? No. It was the Witchbeast who did all of that.”

“Kang Yujin!”

“If you really wanted to buy my favor.”

After loading the bullet, he said coldly.

“Before that happened, I should have killed myself along with all the demons.”

“So you’re saying that damn Pentagram and that Constellation bitch are innocent!”

“It’s not like that.”

If he judges right and wrong, he can accuse everyone.

witchcraft. human too.

Kang Yoo-jin’s anger should have the right not to cover the two.

“But that’s my problem to solve.”

And that right, obviously, belonged only to Yujin Kang.

“Don’t meddle in other people’s lives. You bastard.”

And as if to put a period, I pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit the magic of time and space to its fullest and lodged in the emperor’s chest.

Perhaps because of the addition of a spell to neutralize demonic energy, his body bounced off more than 10 meters after being hit.

“Eugene…?”

I looked back and saw Laniakea, wide-eyed, looking this way.

“What are you looking at? Did you see it?”

“I…that’s…”

“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t really forgive you.”

“·······.”

She bowed her head again.

Because his voice was still cold.

“It’s a matter we’ll solve ourselves. We’ll talk about it later slowly.”

“···Yeah.”

“So I’m going to kill that dog first. Help.”

“Ah yes.”

I saw the emperor who raised his body.

The eyes that were burning with terrifying momentum seemed to tear Kang Yoo-jin apart at any moment.

Confronting those bloody eyes calmly, Kang Yoo-jin sent the signal he had mentioned.

“Come, Estelle.”

And a sparkling spark blazed.
