Private Awakened During The War - Chapter 322
322 denominations
The silent Hoyen opens his mouth, which was heavily closed.
“What abilities did you use? What power did you use to stop my heart from healing? ”
“… Your heart was pierced. But you don’t look so good for that. ”
A glimmer of hope rises from Hoen’s unexpected words.
If the heart is really pierced, it means that it’s about to collapse, unlike the appearance of a normal person.
I stopped trying to escape and watched him.
“Hehe, you know that I am Kevin and that my weakness is light, but you don’t know anything about Kevin’s restorative abilities? ”
“Recovery ability? Trolls can’t survive a broken heart, but Demibeasts are different? Why don’t you just hang in there and collapse? ”
I circled around keeping a certain distance from him. Maybe he’s just trying to trick me because he’s healthy, unlike what he said.
Whenever I was ready to run away, I sent a signal to Rica, whether she would take out a new mirror instead of the mirror, with the end of the effect.
“Liekah, if he’s not fine, this is our chance. See if there are any other Astrians around. ”
I’ve been checking it out as an artifact for a while now, but I can’t feel anything around the plains right now! But just in case, I’ll keep checking!
When I turned my back on him.
“Cough! Cough… I don’t feel sorry for him. I can’t believe I’m getting beat up like this. ”
Hoen just threw up more blood than before, bent one knee and sat down. He stared intensely at the sky, whether he didn’t care about me or not.
‘Now? No… Let’s wait a little longer. ’
I wanted to run and put my sword through his throat right away, but I took a deep breath and calmed down.
No matter how much light weakens him and my attack pierces his heart, the danger remains unchanged. Especially now that you’ve used up all your spleen skills and ended up using the golden dice.
“Khh, there’s no need to be so vigilant. I’m dying fast. Well, if you let me go like this, I might live…”
Hoen paused to look me in the eyes.
“You don’t intend to. ”
“… Of course you do. It’s a surprise, though. I didn’t think I’d just admit defeat. ”
“I don’t know what method you used, but I was too careless. No, I don’t think I killed you. I think I was wrong to think I captured you alive. ”
I nodded my head unknowingly at the words of the insensitive man who thought he was really going to die.
It was certainly the same with the Varyan, but it was possible that I was able to give Hoen a beating because he had a hunch that they would capture me alive.
If they decide to kill me…
‘… I never thought I’d have to thank Reflexa. ’
I hate to admit it, but the Grand Wizard is like a safety device to me. As long as he’s alive, no one can kill me except for the runaway test subjects.
Unless they want the divine fortune in my body.
“Kaiyan. I have a few questions before I die. Do you mind if I ask you a question? ”
Hoyen asked me while I was thinking of closing the gap.
I thought maybe he was stalling to recover, but now that I see the wound constantly exhaling blue blood, that’s not it.
I thought about it for a moment and nodded.
“… let’s hear it. ”
“Hehe! Thank you. Then I will ask you. What the hell was that white spear that stabbed me in the heart? I wonder what it is that won’t trigger the restorative power of my species, Kevin. ”
“White Spear? That’s… wait! Does that mean Kevin can recover from a broken heart? You have that kind of healing power? ”
“Half right, half right. My kind has a tremendous ability to recover, but that’s only the heart. You can tell by looking at my body. ”
When I carefully examined his body in Hoen’s words, there was still fine blood spilled from the wounds he inflicted after he had come out for the first time hundreds of attacks.
But that’s not the point. More importantly, does he really have the ability to recover a broken heart?
And that ability really isn’t available right now.
“… I’m sorry, but this conversation is over. I don’t know what you’re up to, but I can’t keep watching. ”
I pulled out the maximum error just in case, and approached Hoen one step at a time.
It’s overwhelming.
“From your reaction, you don’t seem to know why. So you can use a mysterious ability you don’t even know about? ”
“I’m telling you before I die… Well, something like that. Actually, I don’t know everything about my abilities yet. ”
Even as I bent my knees to the ground, I looked out at Hoen with the same height of my eyes and tightly grasped my sword. Now all you have to do is swing the sword at the defenseless man’s head.
“I see. There was a reason he wanted to see you so badly. Thank you for answering my question. ”
He closed his eyes as if he knew I was within range of him with just an arm.
When I think of the times of the Baryan Elders, I think of them very differently. The battle with Hoenn gave me the impression that the noble knights were fighting each other.
“… What a weirdo to the end. I heard that all Demibeasts are ruthless. Seeing you, I guess that’s wrong. ”
“Khh, all thanks to his grace. I was also just an animal until I met him. ”
“I don’t think the Barians were like that either. You worship Reflexa like a god. Wasn’t it because of him that the Demibeasts were destroyed? And how is that even possible? ”
Until the end, I took a sword to the neck of the man praising Reflexa and asked.
I don’t understand at all. The Demibeasts were destroyed because of the Race War, and the Elders of Astia can’t have known that the war was because of Reflexa.
“You will meet him one day. We’ll know when we get there. Why am I following him… Cough!! Oh my… I can’t hold on much longer. You can stop now. ”
Hohen grips the wound with his right hand, choking with blood.
He looked me in the eye and closed his eyes, telling me to end it quickly, as if my life was not foolish.
I hesitated for a moment because I held the sword tightly in front of him.
“… Well, goodbye. ”
Phew!
“Th-the life I’ve had enough of is finally over… But he’ll keep his promise, so if it’s silly…”
I put a sword in his head, and for a moment, he opens his eyes and falls to the ground with a bright smile that does not match the current situation.
Tiering! [You Level Up]
Tiering! [100 Level Enhancement Gifts will be sent to Storage]
Level-up notification that is the same as the proof that he is definitely dead.
With a slightly bitter smile, you pull out the sword that was stuck in Hoyen’s head.
“If he’s bad, he’ll act like he’s bad…”
I defeated the elder of Hoen as I had intended, but I felt bad. I feel like a bad guy.
Kaiyan! Did you really defeat him?
“Okay, so you can stop coming down now…”
The moment I was about to move into a strange mood.
“Grrrgh!”
Mr. Kaiyan?
“Th-This… is the Divine Fortune? ”
I can feel a sacred fragment coming at me from the body of the dead Hoen. A much larger sculpture than the sacred ones you collected in Gamia and Panybloon.
And at the same time, even though I didn’t intend to, some of his memories came back to me like they were digging into my head. The memories of Hoen before he became the Elder of Astia and when he met Reflexa.
“Ooo-roo!! ”
[Kaiyan!! Are you okay?]
Rika and the wind came down from the sky as I held her flimsy head and watched her memory.
They grimace, trying to get closer to see if I was worried, but raise their hands to stop them.
“… wait a minute. Maybe we can find out something about this Reflexa guy. So wait a minute. ”
The memory that came to mind was just a part of the memory of the elder Hoen, but after a long life, the amount was larger than others.
Memories of Hoen before he became the Elder of Astia, and of Hoen watching his comrades die from war after he became the Elder of Astia.
The more I checked Hoen’s memory, the more I could feel what he was feeling.
‘… I see. He regretted it, too. His actions of abandoning his people and entering Astia. ’
He followed Reblaga, who had wiped out the Demibeasts in the Race War, because he had two gifts and one promise.
However, he regretted his choice as he watched his own people die in a pile of war.
“Following Reflexa to get rid of the Demibeast’s ferocity… that was a stupid choice. ”
The two gifts Hoen received from Reflexa were to strengthen the Kevin traits that are becoming stronger in a place without light and to eliminate the ferocity that Demibeasts would naturally possess.
Reflexa promised Hoen that after the Great War, he would resurrect a new Demibeast tribe who had destroyed their ferocity as well as his own.
What’s that supposed to mean? Following him to get rid of his ferocity?]
“… I think Hoyen envied Humans. He wanted the Demibeasts to be like Humans. Oh, he’s such an idiot. It’s not necessarily good to be human. ”
With some of his memories and emotions, it made some sense to me why he made that choice. He envied Humans because he saw Demibeasts that were only monster level.
It’s ironic. Demibeasts with strong flesh and smart heads envy Humans who have been weaker than them for a long time.
“ …. ”
For a moment, you stare at Joan on the ground, dumbfounded, and put your palms on his head.
“If you made that choice, at least you shouldn’t regret it. ”
Glug-ug!!
The flame that escaped from his heart burned Hoyen’s body. Fortunately, it wasn’t hard to burn the dead body, either because his strength had escaped through the heart.
After looking at the blazing flame for a moment, I turned my gaze away, looking at Rieka, expressing regret.
“Why do you look like that? I even won battles and leveled up. And I got an unexpected piece of divinity. ”
[No… I’m a little embarrassed.]
“Too bad? What? ”
[I expected what would be given to a Demibeast corpse like that in a Lucky Bag.]
“… He was an elder and a good one for Astia. You’re right to let me go like this. ”
If Hoen had listened to Riekah, he would have stood up and fled desperately.
“But… I’m a little curious. If you think about it, I got a Blink artifact from a broken Tentacle monster. ”
[Exactly! I know a few times more! An Elder who is a hundred times more powerful than Hoen will give you something great!]
If only there was a demon in the fairy tale.
The sweet whisper in my ear stopped me as I reached out to extinguish the flames that had burned Hoyen’s body.
I thought I was the only one. Though I’m honored to fight and use the corpse of a dead opponent.
“… you’ve made the fire too strong. I’ve already burned most of them. ”
But that’s who I was.
[Ahh! Too late! It was really good material…!]
“Should I pour an elixir? ”
