Chapter 19: The Hunter's Readiness (4)

Contrary to Jamie's expectations, the Hawks woke up sooner than expected.

He looked at the ceiling of the building.

His last memory was the sight of a huge light flying towards him.

It looks like he hastily counterattacked, but seeing that he is unconscious... It must have been a failure.

lost to humans

I lost to a race I thought was weak.

However, it did not feel unexpectedly humiliating.

"Your expression looks more peaceful than you think?"

"Isis. Did you bring me here?"

Yes.

Isis was sitting at the table, sipping tea.

Hawks tried to get up, frowned, and lay back on his back.

I didn't realize it when I was just lying down, but when I moved a little, I felt pain all over my body.

Don't even think about moving the Doctor for a while. They said that the whole body had lost its taste."

" lost.

"You lost to a human who thought you were weak. very terribly So, how are you feeling?"

"It's not as humiliating as I thought."

At that, Isis widened her eyes.

I thought the Hawks would not accept this defeat easily.

"I thought you would say that Jamie Welton is a special guy, and that humans themselves are a weak race."

"That's right too."

also.

Isis drank the tea with a look of what to say more.

Hawks looked up at the ceiling without a word, as if in thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.

"I didn't break my beak. I really thought you would break it."

Yeah? why didn't you break it If it were me, I would have broken it."

"Actually, how many times have you broken it?"

"It was."

When Hawks was training under Isis, it wasn't for a day or two that he was beaten for the cause of sparring.

When excessive, the wings were damaged or the beak was broken in some cases.

"It has been since then. You cried out that you were going to be strong anyway."

"Because I didn't want to be left as an underdog."

"Ugh~"

Hawks closed his eyes.

I remember that day.

The opponent was a black dragon.

It is unknown why they attacked the village of the Join tribe.

Hawks, who was the leader of the Joining tribe, led the soldiers to the battle to stop the Black Dragon.

It was a terrible defeat.

All of his subordinates died, and he himself was in danger of dying.

However, the black dragon did not kill himself.

He just slapped his head and said.

- Weak things will only fall apart if you struggle. And JOIN is just a garbage race. Be it human, dwarf or elf. When you see a dragon like me, you immediately bow your head and act like a slave.

humiliation for being weak.

The Hawks were unbearable.

On the one hand, he felt pathetic.

He suffered because he was weak.

If it wasn't for weakness, none of this would have happened.

If he had been strong, he would have been able to protect everyone.

- The weak act like the weak.

The unknown black dragon smiled and said so.

The weak are the weak.

The strong be the strong.

Those words were engraved in Hawks' mind.

Can the strong abuse the weak?

Should the weak accept the bullying of the strong with a smile?

It was absurd.

The Hawks tried to kill him, but the Black Dragon said with a smile.

"This is the 'right of the strong'.

There the Hawks couldn't deny it.

Because it was actually the strong who held the right to escape.

If you become strong, you can enjoy such things.

But is that right?

no.

I agree with him to some extent.

The strong have their work, and the weak have their work to do only for the weak.

But it shouldn't be forced.

Because the strong exist, the weak exist, and the weak exist because the strong exist.

If that balance is broken, the world will only roll with the logic of power.

The world will be overflowing with black dragons.

We need a strong force to stop such a bastard.

The present self is weak.

'Then I will become a strong man! I will become a strong person who protects the weak from such things!'

Hawks, who realized the direction of life after seeing the mad Black Dragon, eventually pursued the same way, only in a different degree.

The world is trapped in a 'dualistic thinking' that consists only of the strong and the weak.

Hawks did not realize that it was a twisted thought.

After that, Isis appeared and cut down the Black Dragon.

Later, I heard that I was planning to bring the Joiners to the Frontier, but a black lizard was messing around, so I cut it off first.

Isis was strong, and she acted for the weak.

whether that makes sense or not.

The Hawks asked her to teach, and the gifted man quickly absorbed the teaching and quickly rose to the ranks of the strongest.

And now.

'I lost.'

For people who thought they were weak.

I didn't know until I lost.

Humans, and weak races similar to humans, only thought of them as objects to be protected.

They felt it was their job to serve the strong and help them move more smoothly.

In fact, my opinion hasn't changed much.

"Humans are weak. Dwarves don't have much to see other than their crafting skills. Elves are just like high elves, too. But I mean."

Isis said in silence with her chin on the table.

"They are struggling too. To be sure, on average, the Join tribe is not as strong as the three major races, but it is true that there are many humans instead. There are monsters born that rival us in many numbers."

"Jamie Wellton."

"It's not enough. Limit, Jindo, Beirill. There are countless powerful people who represent the human world. What about dwarves? Even though they are not born with force, they have the technical skills to narrow the level of strength. So, are they weak? How about the elf? They aren't born with the strength of the high elves, but they do have children like Sharan.

To the unanswered Hawks, Isis continued.

"I've said it before. You are under a curse."

"A curse of power?"

"The stimulation I got from that black lizard is tormenting you like a compulsion. Wake up, Hawks. The world is not a binary world made up of only the strong and the weak."

Isis stood up immediately.

The Hawks will also need some alone time.

As she walked out the door, she left one last word.

"With this valuable defeat, I hope you will have an understanding too. rest.

Hawks turned his head to see where she had left.

"It's a priceless defeat ."

Somehow, it felt like my heart was being relieved.

I didn't know why I was upset.

* * *

master!

host!

Bena and Behemoth rushed at the same time.

But Jamie was a little tired, so he passed the two of them and headed for bed.

He took off his robe and lay flat on the bed.

"Are you very tired?"

"It's like that."

Jamie was the person who would normally have pushed him or hit him with honey.

Benna walked over to the bed with the Behemoth on her head.

"Are you very tired?"

Jamie waved his hand as if he was too lazy to answer.

Bena and Behemoth looked at each other.

It wasn't the Jamie they knew either.

Behemoth whispered in Bena's ear.

"You must have looked very tired. Come back tomorrow."

"Grang!"

"You don't follow my tone!"

It was a voice that could be heard as a whisper.

Still, Jamie didn't respond.

The two shrugged and headed towards the door.

Then he waved his hand to Jamie, who was closing his eyes.

"Master, I'll be back tomorrow!"

"Master, guaranteed tomorrow!"

So the two left Jamie's dorm.

After being alone, Jamie slowly opened her eyes.

He was looking up at the ceiling, clasped behind his head.

Last fight with the Hawks.

In the Lake of the Unconscious, Jamie saw Black, and from that point on, the power of Sung Kwang awakened.

When he opened his eyes to a new power, he intuited that his realm had risen even higher.

Now, he has reached the level of a full-fledged 9th class, not a half-price 9th class.

The problem wasn't that.

'black.'

Black didn't answer.

"Didn't you wake up?"

He only temporarily threw away a clue about the Holy Gwang.

He was still sunk in the depths of his unconscious.

It was nice to see your face after a long time.

I was very curious about what state it was, and when the time comes, it will appear in front of me again.

Rather, it was the brilliance that mattered.

"This power is also That's it."

13th divinity.

A fictitious power created by Jormungand using his black mana.

Nirvana, who was her Oreum, nailed Seonggwang and the 13th Divinity as different powers.

It wasn't wrong.

The power of the Awakened Holy Light was very similar to the 13th Divinity, but it existed without 'belief'.

Perhaps this is the divinity that Jormungand seeks, I thought.

"The poles and the poles work together in the end."

Black Mana was born in the shadow world ruled by the Dark Spirit King.

As Jamie assumed, the world of shadows was a space separated from the primordial darkness.

When the power it created reached its peak, it became a light.

It has now been transformed into a divine-like power.

What does this mean?

'The darkness of the beginning and the identity of the 12 gods.'

Black mana is a power created for the sake of the gods.

He made it himself, but he didn't know why he was so strong against the divine.

perhaps.

So maybe... .

'Isn't the contrast of the 12 gods the darkness of the beginning?'

I don't know why.

This is the realm of vague speculation.

However, the black mana became a holy light similar to the divinity handled by the 12 gods.

It didn't even require faith.

But this also didn't make sense.

The extremes were not meant to match, not the natural enemies.

Why did black mana have the power of Shinsal?

Why did black mana reach the extreme and become a form similar to divine?

'Why did they imprison me in the darkness of the beginning?'

no way .

'From their point of view Because the darkness of the beginning is the most dangerous space?'

So, the most dangerous enemy, Diablo Volfir, was sealed there.

This is because, by nature, living things consider the most dangerous places to be safe.

It was not an impossible idea if the darkness of the beginning was a force like a natural enemy to them.

Then, why is the darkness of the beginning a power like a natural enemy to them?

'I don't know about that.'

Jamie got up from the bed and walked over to the window.

"These guys left the windows open."

I put my arms through the open window and looked at the night sky.

The sky was clear from the previous fight.

The stars were shining brighter than ever.

There are 12 gods in the sky.

If we can figure out the relationship between them and the primordial darkness, we might be able to kill the 12 gods.

'I failed in my previous life, but .'

Jamie muttered as she recalled the starlight on her hand.

"In this lifetime, I will definitely bring you guys down."

* * *

It was a world where huge pillars of light fell like a waterfall.

A world where the aurora is spread out in the sky, and a huge lake containing the aurora is floating in the sky.

At the center of it was a huge temple with dozens of columns arranged in a rectangular shape.

A beautiful fountain was placed around the temple, and a beautiful garden was built around it.

The garden was being managed by fairies flying around.

And there was a man watching the fairies in front of the fountain.

"Free."

The man was lying comfortably on the sunbed and voicing his boredom.

"Nothing fun. There is nothing fun in the world. I've been repeating the world for tens of thousands of years, but nothing like this has ever been fun."

The man looked very bored.

It deserved it.

It has already been tens of thousands of years to enjoy the world sitting on the absolute throne.

There were times when it was a crisis, but that moment was only a fleeting moment in his long life.

Even that is now in a state of being thrown into the darkness of the beginning, so is there anything in the world to fear?

However, the situation was that those who were always like family became enemies one by one.

"Look. How is that girl going?"

At that moment, a fairy hurriedly approached me and told me.

"It is said that a new apostle has appeared and is recovering the lost territory again."

like that. Then who is my apostle?"

"You didn't make it."

Yes it was. So what about my black?"

"We are just leaving the southern lands now."

"A pathetic thing."

The men didn't react much, even though it wasn't all good news.

In fact, at this point, there will be few guys who are angry or happy about personal matters.

"Are we going to start a war soon?"

"Are you talking about war?"

"The situation is that my servants are having a hard time, so it is necessary to cheer them up. Because this is also the work of 'God'."

"The faithful will repay you with more faith, my God Janice."

At that, Janice nodded her head.

"If we have to do this, our sun god will be stimulated a little."

It was clearly a sarcastic tone.

The god of war and peace has commanded the fairy.

"I was bored, but it went very well. Pyro. Let's get him out of that bitch. Let the revelation of the 'Holy War' be given."

Yes.

The temple was not far away.
