Guiding Light (5)

the darkness fades

The rising dawn dispelled the darkness that covered the world.

At the bottom of the slowly brightening world.

The eyes of the singularity were tumbling on the floor.

─Is my prediction wrong?

middle of the eye.

The singularity spoke with its black pupil pierced by a white spear.

─This. It shouldn’t be.

“That’s your idea.”

Kang Yoo-jin stood in front of him with his back to dawn.

Recovering his strong form, he climbed over the scattered eyeballs and pulled out the spear that was stuck in it.

The spear in his hand was split into two revolvers with a slight glow.

“It could have happened enough, and this is how it actually happened.”

─·······.

“Proof that you don’t know everything.”

The singularity called itself a god, but Yujin Kang already knew.

that he is not a god.

A singularity is just an existence with greater power than a constellation.

It is neither omnipotent nor omnipotent.

If so, there is nothing that cannot be killed.

─I admit it. You in this world are different from all the beings in the world I predicted.

That’s why I had to admit the singularity.

Countless world lines he intervened.

Among the countless characters, Kang Yoo-jin in this world is uniquely special.

—I acknowledge you as my greatest enemy.

“·······.”

—For the sake of balance, I define you as my greatest enemy.

It was a declaration of war.

The consciousness of the singularity dwelling here is only a fragment separated from the main body.

Lurking on the far side of the record, he is fine and will have a much stronger influence than this.

“I see. Wait.”

But, that’s it.

No matter how strong the opponent is, it is not a god that cannot be killed.

As long as you realize that your opponent is not perfect, it will only become the hunter’s prey.

As always.

The black hunter will go hunting as usual.

Swoouuu-

The singularity’s eye crumbles and disappears.

Since the man who maintained Balthazar’s consciousness has disappeared, the commander of the corps called ‘Balthazar’ can no longer be maintained.

As if to prove it, I could see the other side of the brightening world gradually turning a distant white.

The inner world is collapsing.

“You two.”

“Yes, yes…!”

“Professor Four”

“I’m getting out of here. Stick to the side.”

My business is over here, and there is no more manpower to hold my feet.

Since the sympathetic nervous system of the ghosts was also analyzed, there was no reason to remain here.

With the power of mind control, their consciousness is ready to return to their original body.

In the white, incandescent field of view, Kang Yu-jin took Kaya’s inner world into her eyes for the last time.

“Goodbye.”

Was it because of my mood?

It seemed that Kaya’s voice could be heard faintly from beyond the distant field of vision.

─Goodbye. my hero.

extreme night prison.

Balthazar’s containment cell.

In the place where Yujin Kang, Ensia, and even Cynthia entered the inner world, Claire was stomping her feet, unable to do anything.

“Ah… don’t you think this is really going wrong?”

It has already been two hours since Cynthia entered the inner world.

Claire took off her sunglasses and tore her hair out in a situation where the poop rope was burning.

“You. Can’t you just stay still?”

“How can you stay still in a situation like this? Oh… I should have stopped it then…!”

“Please… I’m going to die of noise.”

“Kid. Aren’t you a little worried?”

Adeline immediately shook her head.

Judging from her calm eyes, her face was not as worried as the tears of an ant.

‘…I think someone might be that professor’s assistant.’

It is so cold that even if stabbed, not a single drop of blood would come out.

Claire, who suddenly became a person who only worried about herself, put her hands in her pockets with a mixed feeling.

What I touched there was a small jewel.

‘I don’t want to write this…’

It was a thing called ‘Necromancer Stone’.

It is an object that forcibly summons the soul of a target and possesses it in the body, but the target was, of course, Ensia.

‘If I use this, other people will be in danger.’

This necromantic stone was entrusted to Helena in advance on the condition that she send Encia.

If something goes wrong, whatever happens, use the necromantic stone to forcibly return Encia’s soul to her body, which she gave her.

Of course, if that happens, the person entering together will be trapped inside due to the effect of the ‘Chain of Separation’, which is a seal.

“oh my···.”

I also don’t want to write.

I understand how a mother cares about her children, but she didn’t want to endanger others because of it.

“Come out soon, quickly…”

Now, unable to stomp, he began to jump in place.

Adeline sighed in arrogance at the sight of her being unable to stay still for a moment like a pampered puppy.

It was then.

Faaa!!

The sealed Baltazar was enveloped in bright light.

“What, what!”

“It’s over.”

The black hair turns into a dazzling pearl color.

The swaying magic disappeared as if it had been washed away, and at the same time the chain of separation lost its strength and crumbled.

‘All elements’ of the witchcraft that make up Balthazar disappeared.

“Oh? Oh…!?”

The light faded along with Claire’s cheers, and the people who had been sleeping moved only then.

Cynthia and Ensia stood up, and Yujin Kang uncrossed her arms and opened her eyes.

Seeing his black eyes, Claire’s tears welled up uncharacteristically.

“Shut up, is it over!?”

“Yes. It’s over.”

“Hurray!”

Claire raised her arms and cheered.

It felt like all the hardships of the past had been compensated.

“But why did Baltazar change like that?”

“That’s the original look.”

“Huh? That one?”

A fair-faced woman with flowing pearl-colored hair.

Its appearance, which had not yet gone even in its youth, was as elegant as a single flower, so it was hardly considered a demonic beast.

“He was originally a man.”

“Yes···?”

The moment she questioned her, Balthazar’s body reconciled with light and disappeared.

A halo of white light scattered faintly into the air, and the chain of separation that bound her also crumbled as the target was lost.

“Eh…why are you suddenly disappearing…”

“Balthazar is dead.”

“···Yes?”

For an instant, Claire’s expression stopped.

It’s the expression that he doesn’t know what he heard.

“Who is dead?”

“Balthazar is no more. He is completely annihilated.”

It was the consciousness of the singularity that lurked at the base of the unconscious that maintained the identity of Baltazar.

Since Yujin Kang got rid of it, Balthazara could no longer maintain its form.

In addition, Kang Yoo-jin took over all the powers of Kaya, the main body, and Ensia even purified her demonic energy, so she, who died a long time ago, is now back where she should be.

“So, then… you really subdued the corps commander?”

“Yes.”

“Ohhh!!”

This time the reaction is more intense.

That’s right, because the death of the corps commander was significant news throughout all dimensions.

what is a commander

They are beings like living disasters who command countless legions of demons.

How many worlds have fallen under their command of the sympathetic nervous system.

Their power killed countless Constellations, and yet they were so powerful that even their opponents couldn’t compete.

Even in the allied forces, he killed the corps commander who was feared.

This really couldn’t have been big news.

“Everyone, let’s go now! We need to inform the central dimension of this right away!”

“I don’t like it.”

“Warp right away… huh?”

“I’m tired.”

However, Yujin Kang expressed his refusal.

His eyes, without even looking at Claire, were only looking at the place where Balthazar had disappeared.

“School, professor…”

“Professor~”

Cynthia and Encia, who had entered together, came to her side.

Adeline also joined, but Kang Yu-jin did not respond.

He was silently stroking their hair and staring into empty space.

As if remembering a certain girl who was once there.

*

“Then I’ll go first.”

“yes.”

After all the work was done, Adeline went to Rhodes Village, saying she had business to do first.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been trying out a lot of new experiences these days, and the tendency to go outside has gotten worse.

It puts the days when he tried to stick to me like a rice cake.

“Well, then I’ll go too…”

Cynthia also prepared to return home.

Behind her, Yong Kim was waiting in a parked black sedan.

“Little lady, this way…”

“Yeah.”

Kim Yong-eun, who got Cynthia into the car, bowed respectfully toward me and drove away.

after the two of them left.

The only ones left at the prison entrance were me and Encia.

“I thought my mom came to pick me up too.”

“is it.”

“Since you like to walk, you’re probably walking by now?”

Then he looks up at me.

The twinkling eyes are looking forward to something, but what are you saying?

“Mr. Woo. Professor, you really don’t notice. You’re asking me out on a date right now.”

“be impertinent.”

“Let’s walk together~”

She walked ahead and took my hand and led me.

After walking along the trail through the forest, we were able to enter the winter forest shortly after.

This is because there was a piece of winter forest between Polar Night Prison and Helios.

“Huh~ As expected, I like this place the best~”

A pure white world covered in snow all year round.

In the place where the snow fell under the cloudy sky, Ensia ran out, leaving footprints in the white snow.

“Professor! Look at this!”

A bright golden light shines following her as she runs and runs.

It was her perfect holy power that she had obtained through the sacred contract this time.

“Yes. It’s pretty.”

“Hi-Hi.”

Her cheeks turned red as if she was happy to receive the compliment.

“I. I think I was wrong until now.”

“what are you talking about.”

“I thought that serving something should only be directed toward others.”

serve something

So, it must be talking about the sacred contract of angels.

Ensia turned around in place and looked at me with a shy smile.

“The things about my father, the things about the divine contract. I was just misunderstanding everything.”

“·······.”

“Thanks to the professor, I realized that.”

She straightened her back and looked at me with straight eyes.

Like I once said, proudly.

“Professor, you really teach me a lot.”

“is it.”

“Yes. Out of all the professors I’ve ever met, he’s the most outstanding professor.”

Beyond Mathematics, Is It Life Education?

I wonder if that’s enough to be a teacher rather than a professor, but I didn’t have the heart to hit a candle.

Ensia, who looked at me with a bright smile, seemed to be sincerely grateful to me.

So, I decided to do what I had to say.

“Teaching and acquiring them are two different things.”

“Uh… yes?”

Embarrassed Ensia looked at me with round eyes.

“It’s my job to teach, but it’s up to you to learn it. You’ve grown only because you’re outstanding.”

“·······.”

Blink.

The big eyes blink and contain me.

Then, he lowered his red face and averted his gaze.

“You’ve got a professor…”

“why.”

“Have you flirted with your lover like this in the past…?”

·······.

this.

Fuck!

“Evil! Why are you hitting me!”

“It’s worth talking nonsense.”

Ensia, who had been groaning while holding her aching head for a while, looked at me again and lost her mind.

“Professor, you should never say that to other girls, you know?”

“No.”

I didn’t do it originally, but seeing Ensia, I thought I shouldn’t do it any more.

“It’s just you guys I’m talking about.”

“·······.”

Then, she blinks once again, grabs her chest with both hands, and takes a deep breath.

“Whoa…don’t beat me, heart.”

“·······.”

Also. I was out of my mind when I was with this guy.

As I was about to let out a sigh, she circled around me and popped her face out in front of me.

“Anyway, thanks Professor!”

“···yes.”

She smiled brightly and thanked me, then hugged me with both arms for the last time.

It’s like hugging your parents.

The strong hug was a little affectionate.

Eventually, Encia, who let me go, shyly stepped back.

“Then let’s go!”

“Didn’t you say Helena was coming?”

“That’s bullshit!”

Then, with a flushed face, a bashish smile.

“I wanted to walk with the professor.”

“·······.”

“So goodbye!”

Waving vigorously, she disappears beyond the winter forest.

Spreading deep golden light, with spirits wrapped around her body.

It was a very relaxed look, having put down all the worries and burdens of the past.

“…Isn’t that right, Kaya.”

I pulled out my revolver and turned the circle.

The light that came together with the rotating chamber formed a pure white ring.

The power of Kaya, which I had obtained from the inner world, was with me as a reality, not a dream.

looking at the light

For a while I stood in the stillness of the snowy winter forest.
