〈Episode 602〉 North Sea.
Black sky and snowstorm obscuring the view.
In a situation where the view is obstructed.
Countless people were walking hurriedly against the ground.
The man in the lead whispered.
“I’ll be there shortly.”
Even as he spoke, his steps did not stop.
His gaze was also focused solely on the front.
But I couldn’t see anything because of the snowstorm.
The man clearly remembered the situation that had just unfolded.
‘I saw the light.’
Between the raging snowstorm and the night sky.
I saw something shining brightly.
I wonder what’s going on.
The man looks straight ahead, his alertness heightened.
I couldn’t see anything.
It’s as if nothing had ever happened in the first place.
But the man did not let his guard down.
‘I can’t get in touch with those who were lying in wait.’
Contact was lost with the unit waiting in the valley.
That alone was not enough to ease the man’s nerves.
no way.
‘Did it fail?’
It is said that the general who was chasing the escaped white fox also headed towards the valley.
I heard that they were going to join forces with those who had been hiding in the valley to capture the white fox.
In that situation.
‘You failed to hunt the fox?’
Are you saying that the mortally wounded white fox killed the general and all those who were ambushing him and escaped?
It was something that was hard to believe.
‘Something happened.’
I think it would be right to judge it that way.
If you finally manage to drive out the white fox, and it turns out to be a failure, what will happen to the higher-ups?
‘Tsk…’
The man clicked his tongue briefly at the cold thought.
We can only hope that is not the case.

‘I’d rather have the princess’ warrior in the valley.’
If we do that, we can catch them and make some excuses.
The man turns his head back slightly and opens his mouth, trying to sort out his feelings.
“Everyone, don’t let your guard down. You never know what might happen….”
at that time.
“Hey, captain-!”
One of the warriors following behind spits out in a trembling voice.
“Over there, over there–!”
Pointing at something with a surprised expression.
The moment the man who saw that turned his head again.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden… Huh?”
The man who looked up at the sky also had to make a surprised expression.
Something was rising high in the sky far away.
Could it be that one from earlier?
The man narrows his eyes and stares into space.
Then I could see.
‘No. That’s not the one from before.’
A light that briefly floated in the air.
It was different from that.
It was rougher and much brighter than that.
‘what?’
What on earth is that?
What is it that makes it shine so brightly?
also.
‘Why… .’
Why do I have to feel so creepy?
I’m just watching, but somehow I start to sweat coldly.
The man was beginning to feel confused by this unknown feeling.
“…!”
The man’s eyes, staring at the light, grow as big as a lantern.
Am I mistaken?
I had that thought for a moment.
‘It’s not a mistake.’
I could realize right away that it wasn’t going to happen.
A light that burned brightly in the sky.

‘It’s getting bigger.’
It was getting bigger and bigger.
At the same time, the man becomes aware of the strange sensation brushing his cheek.
“… Hot… ?”
The passing breeze was hot.
This is a feeling you can never get in North Sea weather.
Maybe it’s because of that light.
The man stopped walking and quickly raised his hand.
“stop.”
Those who had been moving according to his words stopped walking at the same time.
I’m anxious.
I was so anxious.
Blue light.
Just looking at it made me feel scared and filled with a crazy sense of anxiety.
What the heck is that?
What is it that makes you so afraid?
For a moment, curiosity is piqued.
The curiosity you feel when you see something unknown.
But that was human instinct.
“…Warriors, listen up.”
As if such curiosity was nothing.
“We must retreat from here immediately.”
Fear was consuming everything in the man.
“Just turn around and go back the way you saw it–!”
At the moment when I was about to declare a retreat in fear.
Over there, there was a change in the light.
The light, which had been slowly growing in size, begins to move slowly as soon as the amplification stops.
The man who saw that sight must have frozen like a stone.
Somehow I got the feeling that the spark’s actions were looking for something.
Are you looking for something?
‘no way.’
A bad feeling runs through the man.
And, as if that premonition was not wrong, the light floating in the air stopped moving.
This time it wasn’t a mistake or an expectation.
I am sure.

The light was looking in the direction where the man was.
since.
“…!?”
A loud noise erupted from the light and it began to fly towards the man.
And very quickly, too.
“Right now…! Run away—!”
Upon realizing this, the man shouts,
The light that flew in at high speed fell straight on the ground where the man was.
Whoosh whoosh-!
Kwaaaaaaaah—!!
A tremendous shock hits.
“Kkaaaah!”
The warriors screamed at the sudden shock.
The wind pressure blew.
Those who were caught in the wind could not endure it and flew into the air.
“Ugh…!”
The man, barely holding on, groans.
My skin felt like it was going to burn from the hot air mixed with the wind.
If this is how I am, what about my subordinates?
‘Shit.’
That thought crosses my mind, but I don’t have time to care.
Something is visible beyond the heat in the man’s eyes.
This is where the light fell.
Originally, there was a space hollowed out where there would be eyes.
The deep snow has melted, exposing the original ground.
and.
Above it.
Something, presumably a fallen light, was burning violently.
The man who was glaring at it with caution.
“what…?”
I had to make a dumbfounded expression while checking the identity of the light.
It wasn’t just a light or a flame.
surprisingly.
‘person…?’
It had a human form.
Advertisements
Someone is slowly rising above the ground.
The flames were swirling around him and burning.
What on earth is going on here?
When a look of bewilderment appears in a man’s eyes.
The gaze of the person who got up turned this way.
Even though it was covered in blue flames, the eyes were clearly visible.
A vertically slit pupil in a blue eye.
Creepy-!
A chill runs down the spine of the man who meets her gaze.
at that time.
Pot.
The fireworks the man was looking at exploded and disappeared.
“Sarah…?”
The man who saw this was about to speak.
“Break.”
A single word was heard from the man’s side.
The eyes move to the sound.
Then, what the man saw was blood slowly bursting out.
Wood crunch-!
It was the face of my subordinate, whose neck was being torn from his body by someone’s hands.
The man who saw this quickly tried to turn around.
Phew-!
What the man saw was someone’s palm.
Kwak-!
“Shut up!”
A hand roughly covers the man’s mouth.
Hwaruk-!
I felt an unknown heat in my palm.
“Eeeeek!”
The man noticed something and tried to say something.
I couldn’t say anything with my mouth blocked.
Immediately after.
Kwaaaa …
A huge flame burst out from his hand and engulfed the man’s body.

For some reason my ears feel stuffy.
It also seemed like there was a lot of water in it.
It also felt like my ears were blocked with cotton.
It’s frustrating and annoying.
That’s what it felt like.
However, it is not always quiet.
[Aghhhhh!] [Save me…!]
An unknown sound came into my ear.
It seemed like he was shouting something.
It seemed like she was crying.
It’s an unpleasant noise.
It would have been better if it had been quiet.
‘That sounds disgusting.’
How can it be so disgusting?
I hate hearing the voice of such a small creature.
As that thought occurred to me, my hands began to move on their own.
Something is caught.
Is it the neck?
I ripped it off.
[Crunch-!]
WHACK!
[Please, save me…!!]
Whoosh whoosh-!
If there was anyone who cried loudly, they would cover their mouths and burn them.
A foul smell wafts to the tip of my nose.
The surroundings are filled with the smell of carbon dioxide.
The smell of burning loathsome species is so disgusting.
Thinking about this made me angry.
I’m getting so mad I’m going crazy.
Why? Why were you so angry?
I didn’t remember.
Right now, I just feel like I need to let out some anger.
[Keep going!]
When catching and clearing out another pest.
I could see why I was upset.
‘Ah. I see.’
Insignificant and filthy beings.
Inferior and lowly beings abandoned by heaven.
Breathing in the same place as those guys.
Advertisements
That must be so infuriating. It must be.
I couldn’t stand it.
Whoosh whoosh-!
Anger spreads like a flame.
They burned everything they caught.
[Kkwaaaaaaaaaah!!]
Everything must be erased.
So that it is not visible to the eyes.
I had to clean everything up and make it clean.
That’s what I have to do.
I felt that way.
‘Where, where are you?’
I turned my eyes away.
There are only traces of riding and tearing on the white snow field.
It was still not enough.
‘Not yet. More.’
To calm this anger, we need to clear it up more.
So let’s catch and kill all the microbes in the world.
Then I thought my anger would subside.
Plop-!
I turn my eyes to the sound I hear.
Over there, a guy was running away.
I took a step forward.
That was enough to reach him.
[Ugh.]
He walked over and grabbed the bastard by the neck.
The eyes of the captured creature are filled with fear and desperation.
[Please, please… Please save me…!! I’ll do anything, anything-!!]
The buzzing sound is loud.
[Hugh… Geuuuuu… .]
A crying sound was heard.
I didn’t want to listen any more. Just listening to it made my ears rot.
This time, they are trying to tear it apart again.
widely.
I felt the texture in my hand.
When I turned my gaze, someone was grabbing my wrist.
“Stop it.”
It was another microbe.
Unlike the other guys, I felt a strange energy in his indifferent eyes.

but.
“I don’t know why you’re so angry, but shouldn’t we spare one of you?”
But that didn’t give me any reason to let the little things stop me.
“What am I supposed to do when a guy who is not even fit lets out all this energy…?”
“Let go.”
“huh?”
The insect stops at my words.
His face clearly showed that he had heard something wrong.
After all, it is an insignificant existence.
It seemed like he couldn’t understand what I was saying, despite being a superior species.
“… What did you just say… .”
“I told you to let go, you worthless piece of shit.”
“…”
After I said those words, I had to feel something strange.
For some reason, I feel like I said something I absolutely should not have said.
Perhaps, it is a ridiculous illusion.
What can you say to a lowly seed that you can’t?
“Haha. This is true.”
Towering.
I let go of the hand that was holding the insect without realizing it because of the laughter.
My hands move on their own.
What is this?
“Yes. When a person gets angry, their vision may become clouded for a moment.”
Then the legs move.
One step back.
What the heck? What have I just done?
“I understand, because I did that when I was young. So, as a teacher, I can’t help but help.”
Am I trying to run away? Is my body trying to run away?
‘That can’t be true.’
How could anyone be afraid of such an insignificant thing?
“Disciple. Do you know the easiest way to cool your head at such times?”
He waved his hand, exhaling speculation.
I guess I’ll just have to tear out his neck.
“generally.”
That was how I had to show this lowly guy a clear difference.

thud-!
“Whoa-!”
The bridge comes to mind.
At the same time, I felt a shock in my chest.
“If you keep hitting it until it cools down, it will be solved.”
I tried to control my floating body too late.
Something was visible beyond the frowning eyes.
It was a foot.
The feet were right in front of my nose.
Boom-!
“Ugh!”
My head turns in shock.
I felt the pain.
I have to twist my body somehow.
I’m trying to move my body with that instinct.
Phew-!
“Don’t think badly of it.”
I felt a gathering of energy in front of me.
“This is simply discipline.”
A fist digs into the stomach.
Kuung-!
The ground shook with the impact.
