Side story. End of the Earth (3)

To think that he was angry at a play that seemed to be played by the darkness.

It’s something I never thought of.

And it was never a good thing.

“So you’re saying you declared war because you did a little play?”

Durishma said it was a warning letter, but from Kim Woo-jin’s point of view, it wasn’t. This is a declaration of war. The madness of overturning the table that Kim Woo-jin made.

“What is the identity of the new apostle of darkness?”

“It is an ancient race. similar to me.”

“Aren’t all ancient species extinct except for Durishma and Albenius?”

by the old vaccine war.

“There were survivors.”

“What is it?”

“Dimensional Dragon.”

“…That means.”

“yes.”

Durishma nodded.

“Albenius was not the only survivor of the dimension dragon. And as an apostle of darkness, he returned to destroy the vaccine war. Can you guess?”

The wrath of the survivors whose race was wiped out by the gods.

“I don’t know, but Lord Durishma would.”

“Everyone knows. It was as if he was seeing me for the first time.”

“Are you talking about when you first met me?”

“No, much earlier.”

The Titans were attacked by the gods long before the Dimension Dragons. The time Durishma endured and brooded over her anger was too long to be easily expressed in words.

“If I had to express my feelings at that time…”

Durishma, lost in thought for a moment, spoke again.

“I wanted to annihilate the entire world as well as the vaccine war.”

“Why do you go that far? Aren’t other people innocent?”

“That doesn’t make any sense. Because the current universe itself is under the order that the vaccine war intended and created by the vaccine war. I wanted to destroy everything that had anything to do with the vaccine war. Even the Akashic Records.”

It was the incarnation of anger.

“It wasn’t like that when we first met, was it?”

“Time makes you forget many things. Forgetting is not the prerogative of humans alone.”

Gods and dragons all forget their memories and become dull. It just takes a lot more time than humans.

And Durishma has been through that long time.

“I was suddenly curious, so how old are you by any chance?”

“Is that important now?”

“Oh, sorry.”

“…So what I want to say is that he’s obviously not just aiming for a vaccine war with you.”

Gods before the vaccine.

Dog of the gods, executioner.

A warrior of their choice.

The creations that live their lives under the plate laid by the anti-vaccination system.

And even the Akashic Records, which made vaccine wars into vaccine wars.

“…are you completely crazy?”

“Your race has been annihilated, and there’s no way you can afford to think about what’s going on.”

Unless given enough time like Durishma.

The difference between Durishma and Nom is that he was given a chance sooner than expected.

“…hah, damn it.”

Kim Woo-jin touched his forehead.

clear sky.

There is neither wind nor clouds.

─!

A storm arises from the beating of the huge white dragon’s wings. Birds screamed and fell, and broken trees fluttered in the close flight.

────!

The white dragon roared. Monsters fainted in Dragon Fear.

The wings flapped more vigorously and the huge body rose up into the sky. By the time the human city seemed smaller than the ant, the speed increased.

After circling the entire dimension like that, they landed in a huge mansion built in a deserted mountain.

A flash of pure white light enveloped him, and the man, Albenius, appeared.

“Thank you for your effort.”

The guardian butler who protects the dragon rare handed over a towel and bowed his head.

“Did you enjoy today?”

“yes. I don’t get tired of doing it every day. How have you been patient, me?”

After the dimension dragon was eradicated by the vaccine war, Albenius’ life was a series of escape and hiding. Naturally, the main body could not even dream, and dissatisfaction piled up in the oppression.

Is that why? Since the restrictions were lifted, I walked around the dimension with my body without missing a day.

It’s a dimension where humans exist, but that’s why it was more enjoyable. Because there were humans even where he originally lived.

“Isn’t it all right?”

“A guest has arrived.”

“customer? Woojin Kim?”

“no. It’s not the people who always visit, but the first time I see him, but he knew Albenius-sama.”

“You know me when you see me for the first time?”

Who is it?

Albenius’ personal relationships were narrow. It was only natural that he was chased for over 10,000 years.

No one bothered to find Albenius unless it was before the vaccine or those involved in it. In the first place, they don’t even know which dimension Albenius is staying in.

“Albenius said he would wait even if he was out of town, so I led him to the guest room. You are waiting.”

“name is?”

“He said he wanted to talk face-to-face.”

“So you just let in a guy whose name you don’t even know?”

“sorry. It was not an opponent that I could do with my level.”

The Guardian bowed his head.

‘Is it from another dimension?’

The Guardian is not a hero or an enforcer, but a creature, but at least at the level of the strongest in this dimension. If you have far surpassed the Guardian, you are a god or an enforcer.

But is there any reason for the gods and enforcers under Kim Woo-jin to come to Albenius?

A strange ominous feeling sharpened his senses.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

As he got closer to his office, Albenius felt a strange sense of alienation. it’s a sign

Any living creature makes a sign. However, nothing was felt inside the office.

Either one. Either there was no one, or Albenius didn’t notice it even though it was there.

The former makes no sense. There was no way the Guardian, who had a family contract, would deceive him.

‘I can’t figure it out?’

chills down the spine

‘Is it an enemy?’

If you are an ally, there is no reason to hide your power. And among allies stronger than Albenius, there is no one the Guardian does not know.

‘Run away?’

But it was too late. Will he be able to escape against the one who perfectly deceives his feelings? I’d rather have just jumped out when I heard about a visitor in the garden.

‘Damn it, who is it? Does anyone have any ill feelings toward me?’

Each step became heavier and heavier. But in the end, I couldn’t turn and opened the door.

‘Behind me is Kim Woo-jin. No one would do anything big against Kim Woo-jin.’

Reminds me of a strong back.

“You are here, Albenius.”

“…?”

As expected, there were people in the office.

A man enjoying the refreshments and tea provided by the Guardian. It was a man with golden eyes and white hair like him.

The man turned his head. Our eyes met.

“Long time no see. After 20,000 years, no, after 30,000 years?”

I don’t know. It’s been too long.

“Well, what does that matter to us?”

“…”

“Did you become mute while you couldn’t see?”

“…Fronius?”

“Yes, it is me.”

“···how? I thought you were dead?”

“I knew I was going to die.”

I was lucky.

“This and that happened, but I managed to escape from the eyes of the gods.”

“…Really Pronius?”

“No one can imitate me.”

It was maddening, but it was also a word that could be said because it was a dimension dragon.

“If you were alive, where would you be and what were you doing?”

“I was hiding. As you. At first I thought they were all dead. I thought I was the only dimension dragon left in this world.”

But no.

“I hid in the apocalypse dimension and held my breath like a worm. After a long time passed and I couldn’t stand it and went to the lower dimension, I heard your rumors.”

There is a dimension dragon who rebelled against God!

“A dimensional dragon called Albenius.”

“Which dimension?”

“Burdake.”

It was once the hiding place of Albenius. He was able to recover from the wounds he suffered while hiding for a long time, but was caught by the relentless pursuers of the gods and eventually fought a fierce battle before fleeing again.

“I wanted to find you. I wanted to meet you. But my circumstances made it impossible.”

Albenius was not the only one pursued by the gods. Unlike Albenius, he was completely concealed, but the moment he reappeared, it was obvious that the gods would start pursuing him.

“I decided to build up my strength. for revenge.”

To run away and be caught one day and die, and to take revenge on the gods who destroyed the race.

There was only one option from the start.

“And now I finally have the power to annihilate the gods.”

“what?”

Pronius held out his hand.

“Come with me, Albenius. Together, we will tear apart our people and wipe out the insects that are tainted with peace.”

“…”

“Go ahead and grab it.”

“It looks like you don’t know because you’re stuck in a corner, but all the main gods who led the massacre are dead. The world has changed.”

“Know. After I was sure, the first thing I did was to find out how the game was going.”

“You’re going to get revenge knowing that?”

“I would rather ask. What does it matter? Did only the Lord of the slaughter do it? Did only the gods do it? no.”

Pronius growled.

“The Lord, the God, and even the Executioner! All the members of the vaccine war banded together to kill us. My mother crying, my father resisting! Neither do your parents! They must experience the same pain.”

Albenius swallowed his breath at the viscous life that burst out like an explosion.

“The vaccine war then and the vaccine war now are different.”

“Does not matter. Everything under the name of anti-vaccination is the same to me.”

“…You, what the hell happened?”

“Did you tell me? It was in the apocalypse dimension.”

The hidden energy was released at once. It was a terrible demon that made it difficult to breathe.

“…You can’t!”

“yes. I became an apostle of darkness. I will accept the will of darkness and destroy this world.”

Since the gods destroyed our race, isn’t it fair that their world should perish?

“That’s crazy…!”

“You’re not going to hold my hand.”

Pronius’ expression hardened.

“Why?”

“Why, that’s not natural! Who accepts the madness of destroying the world?”

“My people were destroyed by the gods. Do you mean that there is any lingering attachment to a world without people?”

“… are you completely crazy?”

“I misunderstood you.”

Kwadeuk, the armrest of the chair could not withstand the grip and was smashed.

“Did you become attached to being chased by the gods?”

“The leaders at that time were all dead. Any more revenge is pointless.”

“My mistake. To not notice that he was the same fool as Durishma, who was stained by the gods and forgot his race.”

“···What?”

“Why, is it surprising that Durishma’s name came out of my mouth?”

snap-

A rough grip gripped Albenius’ neck. Kuk, a scream came out, but I couldn’t resist in front of the huge power.

“Are you assuming that the Darkness really didn’t know? The plays of Kim Woo-jin and Durishma, who praise themselves as absolute gods, have already been exposed.”

“I know that you and Kim Woo-jin are conspiring and occupying a place in the vaccine war.”

Even so, I came to you just in case.

“Because they are the same people, because they are the same people, because they are the same people!”

“I believed that you, who were oppressed and persecuted by the gods for such a long time, would feel the same as me!”

“I thought we were the only ones in this universe who could trust and rely on each other!”

“I thought I was just keeping my head down for a while, aiming for revenge!”

“But are you serious? How can you forgive the gods after only a few years? Did your own people just mean that to you!”

The resentment and hatred that the dimension dragon, who had been persecuted by the gods for eons of time, poured out like a rapid-fire cannon.

“… you crazy bastard. So you want to destroy the whole world?”

“I would have said, but a world without people is meaningless.”

Power went into his hands. Albenius’ face contorted even more.

Pronius, who had been looking at him for a while, murmured quietly.

“It’s only weak enough to hasten the end of the earth.”

“What···?”

He threw Albenius to the floor.

“The gods are so arrogant that they will regard it as just a warning letter. But if you tell me in person, I’m sure they’ll understand.”

good.

“Go and tell Kim Woo-jin.”

I.

“The true last survivor of the dimension dragon, this Pronius.”

vaccine war.

“I will destroy it.”

Pronius turned around.

“The mercy given to you because you are of the same race ends with sending you alive today. Next time we meet, I’ll rip your throat first.”

His new form is gone. I didn’t even feel a presence.

“Cool, cool…!”

Albenius coughed and hung himself. It was burning red.

“…Kim Woo-jin, I have to go to Kim Woo-jin.”

This was something that could never be solved on the Albenius line.

* * *

“Wow.”

“Wow.”

Park Sang-joon and Killian stared blankly at the TV.

On the TV, where the mixed martial arts channel was turned on, the middleweight championship match that had happened a while ago was taking place.

“Is that time?”

“That time.”

“But I really don’t know. It’s amazing.”

“It’s just that I’m not a god.”

On top of the Octagon, champion Killian and Park Sang-jun were fighting each other. Previously, if it was a speed battle where they couldn’t even hit each other, it became a huge slugfest from one moment on.

that little bit of timing. Real and dummy replaced.

But no matter how I look at it, I don’t know if it was replaced or not. We wouldn’t have noticed at all if we didn’t know the timing because we were both parties.

“Anyway, he really died and came back to life. Money is money, but it’s really bad to have this body and everything taken away.”

“right. However, it was ridiculous to rot until I died in prison, so I was relieved.”

The end of the earth is a pity, but the two warriors were really grateful that the end had happened.

Thanks to you, I saved my life from almost falling into hell.

“By the way.”

“…?”

“Would you give me another reward if I prevented the apocalypse?”

Killian’s face crumpled. The distorted eyes contained the meaning of ‘Is this bastard a crazy bastard?’

“No, it is. The warrior who saved the end of the dimension is to give him a reasonable reward. Is that common sense?”

“Tell the story before God.”

“… Kuhm. that’s a bit.”

“Don’t make sparks fly at me, keep that in mind. We are not ordinary warriors.”

“So what?”

“It’s a punishment unit.”

“…”

“…”

“I’m but…”

“What else?”

“Anyway, now that I’m a hero again, wouldn’t it be a problem to fight with peace of mind?”

“…”

“…”

“How many days are left until the end?”

“Three days.”

“Three days later.”

“Good judgment. Would you like some coffee?”

“Espresso, please.”

After a while, the two turned off the TV and went to bed.
