Episode 256:
The Sword God hates loud noises. In particular, he hates the sound of cheers and conversations from the audience, so he set up his own VIP room.
“I just wanted a quiet place. You met the loudest guy.”
But was it a problem with choosing a place that was too sparsely populated? The swordsman brushed off the ashes from his pipe, frowning at the appearance of an unscheduled guest.
Tuk-tuk-
“What are you doing?”
Still keeping his eyes on the screen, the man wearing a cape laughed out loud at the insensitive voice of the swordsman.
“You’re still arrogant that you’re not even looking at me. But... Seeing you, the strongest hunter, mobilize the city guard. It’s bittersweet...”
Huuk-
The man threw the stunned giant city guard in front of the sword.
Quaang!
“It’s also funny.”
A gesture of provocation all too obvious.
However, the sword body still held the pipe in its mouth and only emitted smoke, but did not respond.
“You came to pick up a fight without doing anything. It seems like being the head of a villain is a pretty laid-back job.”
When the unidentified man took off his cloak and revealed his true identity, the Sword God asked the other person while still fixating his eyes on the screen.
“So 3017. What’s your business?”
EP-TEST-No.3017 to be exact.
Hearing the test number from the Sword God’s mouth, the man had mixed feelings.
“I am nameless now. I erased the name you gave me.”
Nameless calmed down her emotions with a calm face as much as possible and was not agitated, but the Sword God rather laughed at her appearance.
“...okay? Why don’t you ask that guy instead? If you dig through the data, you might find the real name.”
The Swordsman cleverly scratched Nameless’ painful wound.
“Don’t provoke me. You are not the revered Hunter you used to be. Aren’t you not able to properly hold your own sword anymore?”
This time, when Nameless touched the painful wound, the sword god frowned and put his hand on the sword placed next to him.
“okay. But even with a body like this, it’s a simple thing to cut off a snuffer that doesn’t know what to do with it. How about checking it out?”
“Of course you are welcome.”
little bit of silence.
A feeling of tension that made my skin tingle swept through the VIP room.
“but.”
However, the goal of the day was not a battle, so Nameless survived.
“Not now. ...I intend to present eternal pain in the most horrific dimension to the hunters of the Hunter Association, including you. Until I’m ready... please wait a little longer.”
The most horrifying dimension picked and picked by the dimension contractor, Nameless. The sword body could not even imagine what kind of hell the scene would unfold there.
However, to the Sword God who saw the top of the tower, even Nameless, the captain of Rebellion, was nothing more than a mere child.
“okay. Don’t wait for me.”
Took.
“But... are you still doing that crazy thing?”
The sword body put the pipe back in its mouth and let out a long smoke.
“Just because you give it a name doesn’t mean the monster becomes that kid.”
Nameless didn’t answer anything, but Sword God kindly called the test number in case the opponent didn’t hear it.
“I mean 2996. It’s unfortunate. Have you visited the mortuary?”
If he knew him, he would move his mouth obligingly with a very bored face, as if he was about to yawn at any moment.
“It’s just... well, they’re useful guys. Because of their sacrifices, the research and development of hunters on characteristics has been accelerated by 100 years.”
“sacrifice? Those who treated us as lab rats, not humans... even kept quiet about
how we were used...”
“You want to make me a bad person until the end... Sometimes not knowing is the medicine. Yes, we are...”
The Sword God lowered his posture and met Nameless’s eyes. As the sword body flashed in her eyes, Nameless felt a distant fear.
“I was willing to shoulder everyone’s guilt. Got it?”
Facing the sword body, Nameless felt like she had returned to being an incompetent and weak test subject.
“listen carefully. kid. With the sacrifice of hundreds, we prevented the sacrifice of dozens and hundreds of times that number.”
Awesome!
The sword body cut Nameless’ wrist. Nameless’ body, which was only a spiritual body, was not blood, but mana flowed out and scattered in the air.
The sword body continued to speak with a sad face, not the body.
“okay. obviously a bad thing But it was necessary. What do you want to tell us?”
“I...”
Nameless hit the floor with a thump with her other hand, but lightly ignored the blade.
“As you said, announce the experiment to the world. If humanity bears that guilt, will anything change?”
for the majority.
sacrificed a few.
So understand.
Nameless did not want to dispute that logic. There was something else he wanted to ask.
“...that’s not what I’m asking. I don’t even care about your justice. I’m asking why... Why did 2996 and I have to be sacrificed? I didn’t want to save the world, nor did I want to be sacrificed.”
Even at Nameless’ words filled with resentment, the Sword God still laughed with a bored face.
“No one wants to fall victim to something like that. Consider yourself out of luck. And didn’t you survive unlike the other test subjects?”
Wow-wet liquid!
The dimension was torn apart, an unknown space opened, and the monster’s arms attacked the swordsman’s body.
Blame –
Swordsman turned around to avoid the attack and lightly cut off the monster’s arm.
“...that’s also lame. Thinking of turning me and the Hunter Association into enemies with this much power? Of course, I’m not interested in tedious definitions. What we did was obviously justice.”
Let the swordsman pronounce it like that.
Nameless gave a very pleasant smile,
“Yes. With that sophistry, you and mankind will continue to repeat the same thing over and over again. Sacrificing the weak and labeling it as justice...”
“You look satisfied? Are you happy that you defined me as evil?”
Nameless nodded with a very happy face at the Sword God’s question.
“okay. I was sure.”
The space behind Nameless split open and countless hands came out.
“If that is really the case. If it’s humanity that should be connected like that. After all, this dimension should end here.”
Chow ah!
“And you and Yuchan Kang... I will make you taste the most terrible pain.”
A last word of curse.
Tata-tak-
After that, each one of their terrible shapes began to wrap their hands around Nameless. The Sword God gave him the same arrogant smile as the first time.
“okay. I wish you success.”
