104 – Death of Kim Bin (1)

* * * *

sick.

It hurts so much that it hurts to the point where tears flowed on its own.

What is real death… It was painful too.

Again, I felt the love of Lily who smiled at me even though she was about to die for me.

Well, my heart exploded, but it was strange that I didn’t feel any pain.

“how….”

Selina clutches at her perforated chest, taking one step away from me.

It seems that the head can’t keep up with the situation that happened.

“You too… Cool, it would have been nice if you were behind here… Cool, cool!”

The blood in my mouth splattered, and Selina’s uniform was stained with my blood. No, our blood, to be precise.

Unfortunately, Selina seemed to have escaped fatal injuries. Unlike me whose heart exploded.

“Turn it off…!”

Selina collapses on the floor, unable to overcome the excruciating pain.

His vision as he looked at her blurred, and he could see Ian and Irene running hurriedly from far away beyond the far-off misery.

“Berry!!!!”

‘Properly, they must have been rescued.’

The reason why only one Irene didn’t show up among the many people I saw.

It was because he asked to rescue Ian, who was being imprisoned by Sitry.

Even in the original work, it was Sitri who was concentrating on controlling Ian’s mind, so Irene decided that there would be no problem even if she went alone, and rather, that side would not be discovered.

“Isn’t it…?”

Selina raised her head, trembling at Ian’s voice from afar.

Her vision included Ian leaping from the castle wall.

“…The only one who hit the back of the head…Keahhhhhh! That’s not the case.”

What do guys with distorted personalities work through?

Like me, Selina smiled crookedly at the fact that she had prepared such an afterthought.

“ah.”

Now, the real strength is gone.

My heart, which stopped immediately, stopped circulating blood, and my body lost its strength and began to fall to the ground.

“Berry!!!”

bang. Leaping almost to the ground, Ian snatched my body and laid me on a nearby tree trunk.

Selina, who was placed in a state almost identical to mine, seemed to be invisible.

Apparently, he had heard the story from Irene beforehand.

“Ian…”

Selina’s voice calling Ian anxiously in a shrill voice.

The fact that he was ignored made him look as if the sky had fallen.

“Berry!! Are you out of your mind?! Berry!!!”

“…Ian.”

“Uh, yeah…! It’s me. It’s Ian…who, who the hell is you like…!”

“Let me do one favor.”

“…uh?”

Ian’s body froze as he hurriedly tried to block the hole in my chest.

Perhaps, he sensed the meaning of my words.

“Don’t talk, just stay still! If the wounds get worse…”

“I’m going to die anyway…because my heart was pierced.”

cool cool!

As if to prove my words, hemoptysis immediately flowed out.

The splatter of blood stained Ian’s white face.

“…ah.”

He takes a deep breath, and tears well up in Ian’s eyes.

“Ian.”

“……yes.”

pop.

Ian’s tears fell on my chest.

“Lily… is at the academy? It’s dangerous, so I sent her. Instead of me… please protect Lily. I’m here anyway.”

“Oh, no…”

As if Ian had stopped talking, my already pale hand grabbed Ian’s.

“This is a last request from a selfish friend.”

Now, Ian just silently starts to listen to my story, shedding endless tears.

Please forgive me for using the point of being your only friend of the same sex to the end.

I somehow managed to catch my breath and said the last thing I wanted to say.

To Ian, who expressed his affirmation through silence for the day when time was running out.

“…Thank you.”

And to Lily, who is anxiously looking for me at the academy.

“Tell Lily, I’m sorry. I love you.”

Until now.

Even now when I am about to die.

And forever, even after death.

My last will, which had only dust left, was exhausted and I couldn’t bear to convey it, just like that.

my life has come to an end

* * * *

“Heh…heh, heh…”

If the man who fell before his eyes were still alive, he would shout like a wolf.

Why is a grown boy crying so much?

However, his body has already become a cold corpse, so he doesn’t even move.

“Ian Cedric!!”

Irene followed Ian and finally arrived.

Berry’s corpse, already staring at the sky with empty eyes, came into Irene’s field of vision.

“This, this…what…no. Why the hell…”

If I had to choose someone who would survive like a cockroach no matter what kind of adversity and hardship befall Irene, I would choose a hundred out of a hundred, berry.

To that extent, even to Irene, Berry’s death would not have been easy to believe.

“Why, you…”

following the question.

“Gee, what an idiot.”

He expressed his sorrow for Berry, who left without even keeping his promise, with harsh curse words.

There were not one or two things I didn’t like, but even so, it was because he was a comrade who fought over the same enemy not too long ago.

And it was because he was a comrade who had been on the same battlefield just before.

Inside Irene, Berry is already a ‘colleague’ with a lot of hateful hair.

“Berry… why are you dying… this isn’t like you… wake up…”

Ian picked up Berry’s body and hugged him.

A body that doesn’t even feel the slightest trace of warmth anymore.

At the fingertips on his back, the holes carved in Berry’s body were felt more clearly, and his death only touched the skin more.

“Who, who made you like this…”

It wasn’t Selina.

What was engraved on Berry’s body was a very definite sword mark.

“Selina-sama!!!”

It was then.

A demon appeared in front of Ian’s eyes, holding a bloody sword and flinging his body towards Selina, who had collapsed on the floor at an unbelievable speed.

Baal.

fast. The sound of grinding teeth.

Ian himself did not know why.

It was just that something inside him, that he must be the cause, started wriggling and burning his anger.

… .

… .

“…it’s you.”

snap.

Ian’s hand overlapped Baal’s collar, which was flying in the sky, and soon after.

Kwaaang!!

Baal’s body sank down with the ground.

“Cuck!”

A speed that no eye dares to follow.

The strength to hold a flying demon, and even Baal’s body, with one hand and crush it with the floor.

Ian, who was supposed to be fully awakened by the death of Irene.

It ended with the death of one and only friend.

“The culprit who killed Berry.”

“This bastard…!”

Baal pulls out a dagger from his bosom and stabs Ian in the throat.

It was one of Baal’s abilities, the power to catch the opponent’s gap without fail, and tried to pierce the defenseless Ian’s neck.

But.

gigg! Snuggle Geek!

The blade made a strange sound and stopped as soon as it touched Ian’s neck.

“What is this…”

Baal let out an empty voice.

is it a barrier? No, it couldn’t have been. The magician’s barrier was not enough to block his attacks.

So space magic? It’s weird to do that.

“Mu, step back, Baal!! You are my opponent…!”

Selina’s shouts, knowing the reason through her past.

Kwajik!

Ian’s fist hit Baal in the face.

Ian completely engulfs half of Baal’s face with just one punch.

It was natural for Baal not to know.

A boy loved by God and destiny. Ian Cedric.

This world was a world full of absurdities.

No matter how much he was number one, the world did not allow Ian to face an irreversible death at the hands of a mere demon like Baal.

The awakened hero, the protagonist, would not allow the ending of being killed by a single demon.

The compulsive force of fate wrapped around Ian, and Ian, who entrusted himself to it, slammed his fist at Baal again.

“you.”

Enemy.

“My friend.”

Enemy.

“Did you kill him?”

Enemy.

“What are you!!!!!”

damn

To borrow Kim Bin’s words, in the original work, it was the awakened Ian who single-handedly exterminated the dragon race.

It would be possible to receive the fist of such a person without taking any defensive posture.

Baal’s face had already been crushed so that it could not be seen as a human face.

Ian’s bloody tears fall on his terrible face.

Remorse for myself for not knowing anything and just being calm and weak.

powerless past.

The regret of not being able to turn back time.

Ian’s bloodshot eyes, which contain all those emotions, shed tears stained with blood along with burst blood vessels.

new fluid. new fluid.

Baal barely exhaled through his mouth.

Ian reaches out to completely end his breath.

snap.

“…Put this down, Chairman.”

“Even if you don’t do that, you will die sooner or later.”

“However….”

“Rather, Cadet Lily is nowhere to be seen. Find her as soon as possible…”

Irene shakes her head.

In response, Ian remembered the last request his friend left behind.

-Instead of me, protect Lily.

“Her Highness the Princess is at the academy.”

His monotonous words and actions were very different from his usual laid-back Lee An.

It was a change in Ian that he did not dare to accept.

Ian’s gaze, which jumped up, immediately turned to Selina, who had fallen.

Selina is being healed of a hole in her chest supported by demons before she knew it.

“Huh, retreat. No one can beat Ian in that state.”

It was a vague past, but the method I chose because I couldn’t help the fear engraved in my instincts.

Soon after, the demons disappeared with Selina, and Ian silently turned his head and spoke to Irene.

“Berry’s body…”

The desire to take care of Berry’s funeral in a grand manner.

But.

Berry’s body had become half-light and disappeared before he knew it.

“to?”

Berry’s body disappears without any help.

Before Ian could even move closer, the berry turned into powder of light and scattered into the sky.

* * * *

“Rain, empty!!!”

screaming screams.

It was because of the horrible scene in my eyes.

The sword that must have pierced my heart flows through the sky through the vines of the ring with a strange sensation.

At the same time, a blade protruded from Bean’s chest.

A sword statue engraved even though no one existed behind him.

I could tell without even saying it.

This is why you put this ring on me.

‘No, I can’t.’

Bin died trying to save me, no. I don’t want to go through that ever again.

With a hand outstretched with such anguished heart, what came into my sight next was a room that was quite old-fashioned.

“…to?”

“……I hoped it wouldn’t happen like this, but in the end.”

A familiar old man’s voice came from behind.

When I turned my head, the principal of Solus Academy, Heimdall, was sitting there looking at me with a gloomy face.

“why….”
