: Becoming stronger (2)

Behemoth was sitting on the top of Daehwasan, looking at the night sky. A half moon was floating in the cloudless sky.

The moon, which was cut in half exactly, was shining beautifully even though it was only half.

"Behemoth."

An unfamiliar voice from behind called him.

However, the way he called his name was familiar as if he had heard it yesterday, even after 60,000 years have passed.

Behemoth could not control his trembling body.

I looked back slowly.

Long shadows are seen in the moonlight. Her hair fluttering in the night breeze and her robe swaying reminded Behemoth of a certain person.

He raised his head and looked at the owner of the shadow.

His waving emerald hair and chestnut robes were far from what he knew.

host Are you really the owner?"

But one thing. There was only one thing I wanted to forget, but something I could never forget was shining in my eyes.

Jamie said, giving strength to her intensely glowing purple eyes.

"After a long time, I came back to this land. I am Diablo Volfir."

host!

Behemoth couldn't take it any longer and threw himself at him.

Jamie smiled and said to the running Behemoth.

guy. No matter how happy you are."

Behemoth running towards Jamie's arms with his arms wide open.

"Are you going to keep talking to me?"

tight!!

struck with both hands.

"Kwok!"

The little bull just fell to the floor.

Jamie wiped his palms and licked his tongue.

"Since time has passed, since when did you start calling me master and master?"

"Lord, you are the master."

"Is this kid again?"

master ."

right.

Diablo Volfir was very strict with his workhorses.

It was inevitable, because they always had to fight, and on the battlefield, top and bottom clothes had to be strictly observed.

Are bosses and subordinates friendly?

In that case, the discipline could be broken, and there could be a situation where the command was not obeyed on the battlefield.

For that reason, he never showed any weakness in front of the workhorses.

Jamie looked at Behemoth with stern eyes, and Behemoth looked into his eyes and squirmed.

Jamie picked it up and laughed.

"It's only gotten smaller, but the behavior is the same."

master!

As Jamie's mood softened, the Behemoth jumped and spun around.

The subject that had been gloomy until now brightens like a lie.

Only the size has changed, but Behemoth was just as ignorant as he used to be.

"My lord! Master!"

would you be so happy

'Hey, he's the one who has been waiting for only me for all these long years.'

It was very sad because I knew his character.

Jamie smiled bitterly and raised her hand. Black mana clung to his fingertips, and the flap wings unfolded and a small bat popped out.

Behemoth, seeing him, shouted in amazement.

black!

Born together in Diablo Volfir's black mana, they are like brothers.

In the past, they were always together and quarreled, but on the battlefield, they were more reliable than anyone else!

I forgot.

As he prayed only for the return of his master, he completely forgot Black, who was closer than anyone else.

Was it the same with black?

????!

Black's big eyes fluttered.

Behemoth cried and flew to Black, and the two embraced each other and started crying.

Jamie, who was watching from behind, shook her head saying she couldn't stop her.

Anyway, it seemed that a lot of time had passed.

The black next to the behemoth was small enough to be invisible, but now the black is just a little bit bigger.

"Blae love!"

????Gig!

Behemoths were all wrapped around the black wings.

Jamie waited for a while for the two to unravel.

After a while, the two working horses let go of each other and asked for their regards later.

black. How have you been?"

Gee geek!

"Are you still asleep?"

squeak.

"You must have suffered a lot. Still, I wouldn't have to wait since I'm connected to my master by soul.

profit.

Black was only squeaking, but Behemoth was nodding his head to see if he understood everything, and continued the conversation.

Although they were born in the same black mana, it was a strange thing for Jamie to see.

'It wasn't designed to communicate with each other.'

Initially, Black was a workhorse created for Jamie's magical assistant. Without Jamie, there was no reason to communicate with anyone.

But the two, no, the three of them talked casually. When Black and Behemoth said stupid things, he would tackle them.

'Jormungand. Are you alive?'

If Behemoth was simply ignorant, Jormungand was calculating. In a good way, he had high intelligence, and in a bad way, he was a drug.

Thanks to this, the Behemoth has always been Jormungand's toy. But it wasn't just annoying.

It was made that way, but he always took care of my brothers from behind.

Since Behemoth is alive, there is a high probability that he will also be alive.

Anyway, this is something you can ask later, and what I was most curious about was the size of that guy.

Why is it so small?

"Behemoth."

"Yes, Master."

"What about this guy?"

"Yes, Master ."

"What happened?"

When the mood got serious, Black flew over to Jamie and took a seat on his shoulder.

Behemoth looked at Jamie silently and opened his mouth.

"It was after the master disappeared."

Behemoth remembered that day vividly.

It was a day when it was raining terribly, thunder and lightning roared and the sky was disturbed.

The mighty warlock who turned his back on the world said to his creatures:

- I will definitely come back.

all dried up

buy it there At least take them with you.

The Warlock shook his head. Instead, he issued an order.

-Don't let anyone approach me.

His enemies were 12 gods, and the 12 gods were the masters of the world.

Those who blindly followed them fell into fanaticism, eager to kill him somehow.

Everyone protested, but in the end they had no choice but to follow.

A few days passed after that, and the workhorses got to know them instinctively.

that the owner's existence has disappeared.

"We were scattered, but ."

The 12 gods moved to erase all traces left by Diablo Volfir.

Many workhorses suffered.

The Behemoth was so huge that it reached the sky and could not hide.

Because of this, he almost lost his life several times at the threat of the enemy.

Then, Jormungand said.

- He said he would come back.

So let's hide Minimize your body and live deep underground.

Even if you're frustrated, be patient.

Behemoth followed her words.

It cut its huge power into thousands of equal parts and scattered it, leaving only part of it, crouching deep underground.

It wasn't uncomfortable. Fortunately, they were able to turn off the ritual on their own. The problem came from somewhere else.

"It was very difficult and painful . I want to see you enough to die, but I thought I'd rather die... ."

The longing for Diablo Volfir, the master who shimmers in the depths even when the consciousness is turned off, grew uncontrollably.

Every time that happened, I repeated Jormungand's words, but that was the limit.

"I used my power without realizing it ."

Daehwasan is said to have been active a thousand years ago, but in fact, it has periodically turned the surrounding area into inferno from a long time ago.

The gap was close to 10,000 years, so modern humans just didn't know it.

As a result, the Behemoth gradually weakened, and most of its vitality was exhausted in the last attack.

"At that time, an elf named Shiora appeared."

She referred to the day of revelation 66666 years later to the weakened Behemoth.

Behemoth, who was simply ignorant and obsessed with madness, could not even ask the question, "How do you know that?"

He made a contract with her, believing only in the fact that the owner, Diablo Volfir, might return soon.

The elf has messed up most of my powers, and I've reduced the size to prevent seizures.

Thanks to this, Daehwasan was quiet.

Thousands of years have passed since then, and we have reached today.

"Then I don't know what happened in between."

Yes. I knew there was a lot of commotion outside, but I couldn't afford to focus on it."

"But why are you talking like that?"

"It's like this because it's small."

" okay. There was a lot of hardship."

Jamie stroked Behemoth's little head.

I never thought that the day would come when I was stroking that huge bastard's head.

The world has to live long.

Behemoth felt Jamie's touch and realized something, and said with three eyes wide open.

"If it's Jormungand, you don't even know it!"

"That guy. He's still alive.

"It was Jormungandye who told me not to give up and survive. She also believed that the master would surely return."

"Where you are Don't you know?

"Neh. But unlike me, Jormungand will escape and survive around the world. So I think you know something."

That. Can't we unify the base into one?"

"I'm not doing this because I want to."

That's right.

Jamie nodded roughly, then suddenly laughed out loud.

master?

just. It's just good."

66666 year.

Someone predicted his resurrection.

The Frontier knows the secret. Han and Izaya didn't seem to know, but Isis, who stood at the top of it, would surely know.

But now I don't want to think about it.

Jamie held the Behemoth in one hand and raised the other to let Black sit.

He said to his servants.

"It's nice to see you again like this."

master!

Queek!

Behemoth hugged him roughly, and Black clinged hard to the face of the subject he was with every day.

"Wow! These guys!"

Jamie's tiny body slid backwards.

If it was normal, I'd be upset.

'Let's look at it today.'

'cause it's a happy day

* * *

"Behemoth. You have something to do."

mission! mission!!

okay. It is a mission."

Behemoth snorted vigorously with a face full of excitement.

"Give me your mission!"

"Tomorrow, I will go to Frontier's headquarters."

" Do I have to follow you too?"

okay. I wish I could go with you, but I can't miss this great opportunity."

season?

"Learn more about Frontier. You promised to help them anyway?"

frontier.

I wanted to go there myself and find out what kind of place it was, but things didn't work out.

So send Behemoth. I don't expect much from a stupid bull, but the characteristics of it.

Especially.

"Be sure to find out about the owner of that place, Isis."

"Damn it!"

Behemoth answered vigorously.

We've waited over 60,000 years, but at best, it's not like we broke up for a few years.

Jamie smiled and got up from her seat, and suddenly Bena came to mind. She will also go with the Frontier tomorrow.

"And I have one request."

"Please use? Isn't that an order?

okay. Tomorrow, a guy named Bena will go with you. Please take good care of him."

Bena has a timid personality.

So, it was probably obvious that I would see a lot of it. In that case, if a simple guy like Behemoth is attached, it will be much better.

"Bena is my subordinate and your colleague. So please be good to me."

"Oh- colleague!!"

Behemoth was excited at the word "comrade".

Jamie shook her head, giving Behemoth her last word of advice.

"I won't see you for a while, but until then, recover most of your strength. okay?"

"Don't worry!"

"And apples are not your energy source, so eat them in moderation."

"Eh?!"

Behemoth was startled with the expression of knowing it for the first time.

If Jormungand had been by his side, he would have been making fun of him, asking why he was so stupid.

Black must have been smiling and flying around.

Jamie straightened her back and looked at the night sky.

"You are beautiful."

The stars that filled the sky were twinkling as if they were about to fall.

* * *

The morning was bright.

Benna sat on the bed with all her things packed.

You don't have to turn into a pink squirrel for the time being. I was relieved to know that I did not have to maintain that uncomfortable appearance, but I also felt regretful.

"Are you ready?"

Jamie got up early and was drinking juice.

I wanted to drink coffee, but the owner of the inn gave me juice, asking what kind of coffee it was.

The juice I drank yesterday was a mixture of orange and lime, so it was very sour. Thanks to that, I woke up in a different way than coffee.

master.

okay.

" Thank you so much."

"Are you going to break up forever?"

"It's not ."

"Go."

Jamie put down the glass and smiled brightly.

Bena grabbed her skirt tightly. hands are shaking She struggled not to cry.

Shaky shoulders and shaky hair.

I snapped my fingers and opened the window slightly. It was cold, but that's why the refreshing winter morning wind blew through them.

Bena straightened her back without realizing it.

"Your seat will always remain by my side, so please feel free to come and go. This is an order."

" Yes, Master."

At those last words, Bena burst into tears and smiled.

Jamie was looking out at Bena with her arms crossed by the window.

If you see the beads in his ears, he appears to be having a conversation with Braha.

"Are you sorry?"

Siegfried, who was approaching me, asked.

Jamie thought it over and smiled bitterly.

"A little."

"A breakup is what makes a person mature."

I agree with Siegfried to some extent.

However, for Jamie, who has already been through many breakups in his previous life, the breakup meant a little different.

something never to be seen.

There is no such thing as a reunion.

The reason I can send Bena away with a smile is because such things exist.

So sorry, but not sad.

I don't even have that feeling left.

"Now let's go slowly."

"Does Confucius recover quickly?"

"Because it's a waste of time to wander."

"Speak like a child and buy it. Confucius is too young."

The two left the house arguing.

I thought it was fortunate that the sky was not dark today.

A dark sky is not suitable for parting.
