454 Who are you? (1)

frozen rice made of dry red sand

A boy with blank eyes sat on a huge hill.

An abyss of darkness was wriggling around the boy's body.

In the darkness that covered the whole body, the boy was concentrating on something with his eyes closed.

Clack, clack, clack.

The sound of the cane knocking on the floor rang out.

The devil of the humpback bandaged his entire face, except for his eyes, walked to the boy's place.

"Baal, how's it going with the heart of the demon?"

A boy named Baal slowly eyes

float off

I poked out my lips as if I didn't like it.

"It's not as easy as I thought. Maybe I need more time."

"You don't have to be in a hurry. As long as the heart of the devil is with Baal, the victory or defeat has already been decided."

"Hehehehehe. Right? Still, I can't wait to digest everything."

Baal patted his left chest and laughed.

The bright boy's laughter echoes.

defeated

"But what's going on? You can't combine the old hell well?"

"No, there are some rebellious forces, but... The convention is proceeding without any problem."

"Then what?"

Baal tilted his head and looked at Amon.

Amon's red eyes narrowed.

"I don't think..."

an unpleasant, iron-slicking voice

It came out.

"I think Titan is involved."

"......."

When he said, Titan, Baal shut his mouth tightly.

Sizzling.

Baal's mouth twisted up.

"Hey, what's up with those heavy assholes?"

"It's probably because of Titan's Law." "Hehehehehe! That's the only reason." Baal burst out laughing.

give somebody a nod

soon asked with fierce open eyes.

"So, how did you intervene? No, before that... Who's the gentleman who lifted the heavy butt?" "Titan of time, Norstrian."

"Yeah."

Nostrian.

Baal twinkled his eyes at the first name he heard.

"Intervention is not a direct intervention."

"Really?"

At Amon's words, Baal clicked his tongue, regrettably.

"He gave some of his power to humans through the gate."

"Hehehe. What, you're gonna keep an eye on me?"

"...I don't know the exact purpose yet."

Amon shook his head and continued.

"But in context, it's right to say that it's related to the time of prophecy."

"Hehe. Well."

Baal nodded his head.

Most of the Titans wouldn't be interested in the Third Reich, but they know about the Prophecy.

The story of cotton was different.

Crying.

Baal's mouth was torn long past the clown to the temple.

"After eating up the world of three-way... They know it's themselves." I licked the saliva on my saliva.

close to madness in the open eye

Hunger flared up.

Amon, who was watching Baal's appearance, smiled. "What would you like to do?"

"What?"

"Nostrian's involvement.

Everything."

"Well."

Baal answered lying on the red sand.

'Leave it alone.' 'Sorry?'

"Leave it alone."

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, Amon blinked.

"Any other Titan, if you're not gonna let Norstrian..."

"I don't care."

"If I were to..."

"It doesn't matter."

Baal lay on the floor and spread his arms wide.

He looked up at the red sky with a soft look and yawned with open mouth.

"It's Titan."

He gave a giggle.

Hunger and thirst reminded me of someone with glistening eyes.

It was a human face with sharp eyes. 'Don't you think it's going to be fun?' An inaccessible voice rang hollow on the red hill.

It has been a month since the Ernoir mission arrived on Earth.

In the meantime, the rainfall had to digest hectic schedules.

travel almost the whole world with IrisShe set up a place for the heads of each country and a place for friendship with the Guardian's executive, who had yet to meet her.

He managed an extreme terrorist organization that refused to cooperate with the rest of the world, while spreading the best news about Ernoir through the media.

It goes without saying that he also used his hands on the Gwanghui Bridge, which gradually settled on the earth.

Nevertheless, we cannot concentrate on cooperation between Ernoir and the Earth.

Other things included taking their own time before Han Seol-ah's obsession exploded, helping Kim Si-hoon and Balok train, and handling monsters that popped out of the gate with Cha Yeon-ju.

The world's interest in the Hernore mission is gradually cooling down amid such hectic schedules.

"Meeting?"

Rain looked at Liris with his head tilted.

"Yes. Leila asked you to attend an emergency meeting this afternoon."

"Suddenly why? We had a general meeting a few days ago."

Only three days ago, he had held a general meeting of the Guardians, which included Iris and politicians from all over the world.

As a result of the meeting, large-scale troop dispatch from the Hernore continent was planned in the near future, and it was arranged to provide a place for the troops to stay, such as the U.S. Forces Korea base before the day of the upheaval in Seoul.

Although there was resistance from each country to the fact that troops from the Ernoir continent only stayed in Seoul, it was finally decided to stay near Seoul due to the fact that the gate to Erno is close to Seoul and that the transfer to other countries could be made quickly using the guardian party.

So I thought I wouldn't have to work on this for a while, and suddenly an emergency meeting.

'He says it's a different story.' 'Well, what brings you together?' 'He said he had a player he wanted to introduce."

'A player you want to introduce?' I looked at Leicester with a puzzled look.

She only shrugged her shoulders to see if she knew anything exactly.

The rain squinted its eyes.

To introduce you to the player,

You're even having an emergency meeting?’

I did this big thing that I could do simply by paper or phone. I couldn't think of cotton as an ordinary player.

'I've got to go."

If Leira had said it herself, she wouldn't be making a fuss.

The rain immediately headed to the guardian's hall.

Chun Moo-jin, Kim Si-hoon, and Cha Yeon-ju must have gathered at the guardian's hall.

I saw somebody.

"Oh, brother!"

Kim Si-hoon came toward Kangwoo with a bright smile.

"Baby.

You're always handsome.

Kang Woo was greeted by Kim Si-hoon, waving lightly.

Cha Yeon-joo, who was watching the scene, poked out her mouth.

"Huh, there's no dog and his owner."

As soon as he saw the rain, Kim Si-hoon was just like a puppy.

'What do you mean to Sihoon?' 'Oh, my God. Our Sihoon?" Cha smiled in vain.

'Who's that player anyway?' 'I don't know. Si-hoon, did you hear anything from Leila?" "No, I was busy dealing with the recent surge in monsters, so I didn't have to see her."

"Really?"

Rain headed into the hall of Suho, nodding lightly.

Leila was sitting in the conference room. "Oh, you're all here."

Leira smiled at the members of the Guardian as they entered the conference room.

He rose from his seat and bowed politely.

"Thank you for coming together while everyone is busy."

"I heard that there's a player I want to introduce to you. Who's that?"

"Ho-ho, wait a minute."

Leila turned her head around, and in the conference room,

I looked around the crowd.

He went on in silence.

"First of all, before I introduce him to you... Do you all know that abnormalities have been increasing rapidly at the gate recently?"

Rain nodded at her question.

I heard that before I left for the gods.

It was.

"Well, since about a month ago, there's a player at the gate who's been dealing with a spike in monsters." "Huh? Isn't it natural for the player to handle monsters?"

Cha asked with a tilt of his head.

said Kang-woo, kicking his tongue.

"If they had just taken care of the monsters, they wouldn't have gathered us like this."

The fact that she gathered the Guardians at such an emergency meeting,

Because the player did more than just handle monsters.

"Yes. Kangwoo is right. This player... They've wiped out a monster that's skyrocketing at an incredible rate.

"What's the standard of egregiousness? Some monsters outnumber the average player." "Maybe there are more monsters processed than Sihun." "...what?"

Rain looked at Leila with a perplexed look.

Kim Si-hoon only focused on dealing with the rapidly increasing monster at the gate while he was organizing the work of the gods in the New World.

Rather than Kim Si-hoon.

A lot?' That was unbelievable.

Kim Si-hoon was the most powerful man he knew.

Except for his physical character, Zeus, Thor, and even Odin could not reach Kim.

The only thing that outperformed Kim was Tae Mu-geuk.

"...you mean more than me?"

Kim Si-hoon also asked again with a perplexed look whether the news was a shock.

Leira nodded lightly.

"It may be similar in absolute quantities. But..."

She went on looking at the rain.

"In just a month, the player has eliminated the monster that Si-hoon killed, and the number is comparable. All of them are at the gate where S-class or higher monsters appear."

The rain was tightlipped. I can't believe I killed a monster that was on par with Kim Si-hoon only at the gate with a monster above grade S.

'...it doesn't make sense unless you have a physical presence.'

No, it wouldn't be easy even if you had a personality.

His physical character was more of a defensive force than an attack.

The most questionable thing is. "That player... You mean it's never been known?"

a play enough to do such a thing

Common sense didn't make sense that the layer had never been known.

It's just...’

Don't you think he fell from the sky?

Rain looked at Leira with a look of incomprehension.

Leira also continued with a bitter smile as if she had anticipated his question.

"According to him, you got a big boost from the dungeon you found at the gate a month ago."

"...a postponement?"

"Yeah. Before then, he was a normal player."

The rain frowned.

It's a story that's convenient but too convenient. Are you the incarnation of God?'

The only possibility I could think of was incarnate.

'The earth's god is controlled to some extent by Gaea."

Maybe

I thought it might have been approached by the alien god.

...I'll have to see for myself.' It was difficult to make an accurate judgment without seeing him in person.

'Can you introduce him to me first?' 'Yes. Just a moment.' Leira rose from her seat and headed out the door.

When I sat in the conference room, I waited a little while, and the door opened and a young man came in.

He was a young man with a light brown hair and a likable appearance.

I've never seen you before."

Rain looked at the young man with a deep look.

It was then.

"A, Kangwoo? Is that you?"-"....?"

The young man who came into the room smiled broadly at the rainfall.

The young man approached the rain with a fuss.

"I can't believe I'm seeing you again. What an honor!" "Uh, um."

What is this?

"This is Kim Tae-hyun! Kim Tae Hyun!"

I've never heard of this name before.

"We used to get help from Mr. Kang! I still remember the grace of saving my life and kept it in my heart!"

Who are you?

"Of course I remember you, Taehyun. Nice to see you again."

"Go, Kangwoo... Oh, you remembered me as well... You didn't forget my promise then!"

Who is this guy?

"What are you saying? I... I can't forget you."

I can't remember no matter how hard I think about it.
