095. Hero Kim Woo-jin (4)

“Tell me.”

“What?”

“Although you and I are of different races, we have prevented the apocalypse together for the past dozen years. No matter how the situation changes, I believed that the banner of preventing the apocalypse would not change.”

“What are you talking about with four legs so long?”

“What do you do when you go out every day? Did you find the Mandragora field?”

Of course not.

Kim Woo-jin pondered over how to persuade Seide, who showed no signs of backing down.

“To stop the evil dragon, we all need to become stronger together. would you have agreed? What is the reason you are eating alone now?”

“To be clear, there is no elixir.”

“Then what is it?”

It is best to speak frankly and receive Albenius’ teaching together. But a promise was a promise. The story of Albenius must not be told to anyone.

Kim Woo-jin knew that his demand for Albenius was forced by threats. I didn’t want to go further and do something stupid that completely betrayed his heart.

“I just train hard every day. To burn the dragon’s heart.”

“Your growth rate has exceeded simple training.”

“Because I have predation. don’t ask more No matter how much you are, I can’t tell you everything. This one also has its own circumstances.”

“…I believe that your will to protect humanity and prevent the end has not changed.”

“Have you got a hobby of talking nonsense?”

Then, the conversation was interrupted by an intrusive voice.

“What serious conversation are you two having?”

A woman approached me in a beautiful blue dress. The orange-colored short hair matched well with the jewel-like blue-green eyes.

“Your Highness Ainin.”

It was the first princess of the Kingdom of Bienderk, Ainin Weinderk.

He looks weak on the outside, but as an excellent knight, he is capable of easily knocking out about 10 trolls rather than orcs with his bare hands.

“Meet Your Highness.”

“Please don’t be too hard between us. I’m sorry.”

When Kim Woo-jin tried to lower his head, Ainin stopped him. He smiled and sat down in the empty seat next to him.

“When the main characters of the banquet are sitting in a corner and having a serious conversation, everyone can’t help but notice.”

“sorry. We were talking a little bit about the dragon.”

“If it were a dragon…the two of you would make that face. Is it because of the recent meeting?”

At Ainin’s question, Seide, who flinched at Kim Woo-jin, nodded.

“Come to think of it, I heard that Hero Kim Woo-jin suggested that we postpone the expedition for two months.”

The words were suggestions, but given the circumstances of the alliance that depended on Kim Woo-jin, his opinion was absolute. If he insisted, the expedition would be in two months.

“you’re right. It still needs some preparation.”

“Is two months enough? I haven’t dealt with the evil dragon myself, but I’ve heard enough to get scabs in my ears about how much of a monster that dragon is.”

“It’s not a matter of doing enough or not doing enough.”

A possibility arises when the power of the spirit king is fully awakened. Kim Woo-jin was confident, but did not give a definite answer. Apocalypse is always a change. It was not right to give unconditional hope just in case.

“As expected, Hero Kim Woo-jin…”

By the time Ainin’s eyes turned to envy, new uninvited guests appeared one by one.

“This is an unfamiliar staffing composition. long time no see. Warrior Kim Woo-jin.”

“Your Highness Alina.”

“Oh, hero, are you here?”

“It’s been a while.”

“His Highness Leah. Your Highness Sage.”

Seide and Kim Woo-jin’s heavy atmosphere had an intangible force that prevented them from approaching easily, but when Princess Ainin opened up the water, the princesses who were looking for an opportunity rushed in in an instant.

As soon as the princesses started, even the noble ladies joined in, and the surroundings were crowded with young ladies.

Seid slowly took a step back.

“Hero, would you like to dance a song with me?”

“Don’t do that, come with me. What Obama asked me to tell the hero…”

“Could you follow the order? I was talking to the hero first.”

“Is there any order to the conversation? I just want them to like each other.”

“Would you like to leave the noisy two alone and go over there for a drink together?”

“Stop!”

“Stop!”

While eating a light fruit that was placed as a snack, I intuitively observed the emotional drama.

“Fun.”

Previously, I wasn’t particularly interested. Being an elf in the first place, he even hated fights between opposite sex growling over one person.

However, I found that the sight could be very pleasant if it were not for the person involved.

In particular, the love affair between the princesses and princesses had a special charm because it was elegant. Because of each other’s face, they can’t go to a direct power fight, so they try to kill the other person with words.

Noble words should not come out of the mouth of the royal family.

“Humans are very special. Yes?”

Seid woke up from his thoughts at the excited gaze he felt right in front of his nose.

The red-haired elf was grinning. She was the princess of Igrasil, the kingdom of elves.

“His Highness Nelia.”

“It’s been a while, Sade. How have you been?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Let’s get rid of that hard language between us, right?”

“I can’t. Her Highness is a princess, and I am a stranger.”

“He’s looking for a dimension, and he’s a hero to save.”

“The hero is Kim Woo-jin.”

“A hero can never be alone. The help of an assistant is absolutely necessary.”

“I will return to my original dimension.”

“What the hell did you leave there?”

“It is home. Don’t you know what it means to an elf to leave home?”

It’s not just the longing for home. He has a sense of duty to protect Yulia.

If it was a sense of duty before, now it is a bond. She was not simply an escort to be protected, but a family member.

The daughter of the benefactor who rescued him from being sold into slavery and becoming an orphan, and now the same family as his daughter.

“ha. That’s sad. Having said that, I can’t help it.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“But fortunately, I am not alone. Warrior Kim Woo-jin thinks the same, right?”

“You are more desperate than me.”

“It’s fun to think about what kind of expressions they will make afterward.”

“It’s bad taste.”

“It’s a little entertainment. The only hope you have in this beggar world.”

The fact that Kim Woo-jin leaves and they are horribly kicked out means that the world has been saved.

Nelia hummed and disappeared. Seid started watching again, but the play had already ended.

“Hero?”

“Where are you, warrior!”

“Hero Kim Woo-jin!”

In the end, it seemed that Kim Woo-jin could not stand it and ran away using his power.

* * *

“This is why I hate banquets.”

Kim Woo-jin grumbled, smoking his crumpled clothes.

It’s not that I don’t like princesses. How can you hate princesses who are more beautiful than most celebrities?

However, I just don’t want to be affectionate. Although he had been a warrior in Glacc for more than ten years, living in Glaark, which was different from Earth in every way, was very different.

always miss the earth I miss the triumph of civilization. I miss my family.

But rather than them, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect them. I am afraid that everything will end.

After meeting Albenius, that fear disappeared a little. However, it means that the impossible has become possible. Possibility does not necessarily mean success.

‘If Albenius steps forward, I’ll be able to stop it unconditionally.’

No, it’s done. I don’t know what the circumstances were, but Albenius did his best. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t even have this feeble hope.

After leaving the banquet hall, I rode my horse and went outside. It’s late at night, but he’s a superman, so it’s not too much to say that he doesn’t sleep for a day or two. In order to appease his troubled mind, he thought of finding Albenius and training more.

“Albenius.”

I knew something was strange the moment I stepped into the cave for the first time.

‘It has been released.’

In the cave of Albenius, there was a magic circle that rejected outsiders. Because of this, Kim Woo-jin always had to stand at the entrance and wait for his permission.

But not today.

The entrance to the cave is wide open.

why?

The weak smell of blood and harsh energy carried by the wind from inside the cave made Kim Woo-jin’s skin bristle.

‘The Chaser?’

Albenius himself said he was being pursued.

‘Really?’

“Albenius?”

Carefully muttering his name, he entered the cave. The wind felt cold today.

I killed my presence and picked my breath. The vibrations of the fierce battle transmitted through the air and the faintly audible shouts let us know that the situation is ongoing.

“My long life as a fugitive is over, Albenius.”

“I never thought I would find you here. You are lucky.”

“You are weak. Haven’t you recovered all your wounds?”

“What did I say? You said you didn’t have to report it, just us.”

In the center of the cavity was Albenius, half-sitting. Two men pointed their swords at him.

‘strong.’

I could feel the energy that made my skin tingle.

‘Even though I almost made the Spirit King’s energy mine?’

I couldn’t understand. Where the hell do these strong people come from? The world is running towards destruction, so why now?

enemy anyway Albenius helped him and they are trying to kill such Albenius.

And fortunately, they were strong, but I didn’t feel like I could win. This was also thanks to Albenius.

“Who are you!”

“Warrior?”

When Kim Woo-jin revealed that he was going to die, they turned around.

But Kim Woo-jin was faster.

A surprise attack is secret, but it is certain when it is revealed.

When they found Kim Woo-jin, Kim Woo-jin’s flames had already covered one. The blade moved forward, cutting through the opponent’s weapon.

Whoa!

It was a decisive blow, but the protective shield covering their bodies blocked the blade. The flames melted the shield, but the momentary gap gave them time to perceive the situation and react.

“You insignificant bastard!”

The man burst out with force. He extinguished the flame and swung his sword. Can-can-can, Kim Woo-jin was helplessly pushed back by the merciless slash.

Then, another man shouted.

“···Wait a minute! This is Kim Woo-jin!”

“Your name is Kim Woo-jin?”

The offensive stopped. He stepped back and Kim Woo-jin also stopped and took a breath.

It was a brief clash, but he was clearly aware that the opponent was by no means formidable.

“It’s real. Why is Kim Woo-jin here?”

“…you know me? I don’t know you guys?”

Kim Woo-jin asked back. However, their response was not about Kim Woo-jin’s question.

“Albenius! Did you reach out to Kim Woo-jin? What do you mean!”

“Kim Woo-jin would be a pain in the ass. This bastard, isn’t that the only hope to prevent the end of Glacc?”

“I do not care. Because I decided to give up here anyway.”

“Give up? Didn’t you pour out so many warriors?”

“I poured so much, but there is no hope. He seems to have judged that saving other dimensions was more profitable.”

“Then there is nothing to shy away from.”

“What the hell are you talking about? Who are you guys and why don’t you stop the apocalypse with this level of power?”

The corners of their mouths went up at Kim Woo-jin’s cry.

“Because there is no reason to stop it.”

“devil. Rumors spread that there was a pretty great guy in a beggarly dimension, so it will just be a throwaway.”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”

“Die without knowing the end. That would be much better for you too. Think of what you shouldn’t see as a sin of seeing.”

“It’s your fault for sticking with Albenius.”

The guys showed up to live.

It was then.

────!

Kim Woo-jin felt his stomach turn.

The world turns upside down. The senses are disturbed. Synesthesia gets weird. The heavy approaching hero’s power makes his body heavier.

“Albenius you damn lizard!”

“Keugh! Did you still have this much power left?”

However, it was the same for both of them. No, he vomited blood with a distorted face as if he was more shocked than Kim Woo-jin.

“Kim Woo-jin!”

between them.

“If you have endured my training, you should be able to move. Kill them both!”

Albenius’ cry was heard.

“hurry! I can’t keep this up for long!”

Kim Woo-jin instinctively got up. Even if it wasn’t Albenius’ cry, he was aware of the fact that he would die if he didn’t kill him.

The space is twisted, and the world changes rapidly with every step you take. Nevertheless, the senses cultivated through training tried to adapt somehow.

“how?”

“As expected, Albenius, it’s true that you stretched out your demonic hand!”

They were furious, but they couldn’t stop Kim Woo-jin from approaching.

“Stop! We are messengers of God! If you kill us, you will incur the wrath of the gods!”

“Stop it, Kim Woo-jin! Aren’t you afraid of God’s wrath!”

“god?”

“yes! Kill Albenius! That bastard is a traitor who rebelled against God!”

“Are you favored by the gods? If you want that favor to continue, hear us out.”

“It’s strange.”

Kim Woo-jin tilted his head.

“If you are a messenger of God, why did you try to kill me? You don’t even know me.”

A hero is a person who is summoned by God to prevent the end. But is it right that the messenger of God is trying to kill the hero?

“That’s you first…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. You said you saw something you shouldn’t have seen? So you’re saying I would have killed him even if I didn’t go first? Is the messenger of God trying to kill the hero just for that reason?”

“…”

“And what does it mean to abandon this dimension? Is that what I think is right?”

“I will explain everything. Kill Albenius instead. That guy is a traitor.”

“How can I trust you?”

“I am a messenger of God. never lie I swear to God, it’s true.”

“Kim Woo-jin! I can’t stand it any longer!”

The man overcame the distortion of space and forcibly released his power. The hero’s power, the god’s power flowed out gently.

“If I am not a messenger of God, there is no way I can use this power. Trust me. You are being tricked by that wicked lizard right now.”

“Yes, I promise. If you kill that lizard right away, tell God about your performance…”

Kwajik-

Kim Woo-jin’s blade drew a long trajectory. In an instant, he cut the defenseless neck in half.

“···why?”

“If you want to play a gura, at least get rid of the life in your eyes. Who’s being fooled by that kind of thing?”

The man left alone had a pale complexion.

“There is no such thing as saving lives.”

More than anything.

“I will definitely repay the favor and the enemy.”

Albenius helped Kim Woo-jin.

And the self-appointed messengers of God tried to kill him.

“You are the enemy first…!”

“Let’s not bring up old stories from now on.”

That alone was reason enough.

squeak-

Another head fell off.
