Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 141

EP.141 Perfection? One Calculation?

Shay and Tyrkanjaka Khalis Undead, who roamed the wasteland, made camp not far from the bottomless pit.

It was a camp with bright red lights as if advertising that it was here, not like a prisoner who had just jumped out. It seemed to be begging for someone to come.

They sat around a bonfire with lights shining everywhere.

I was now immersed in deep sorrow.

Tyrkanjaka watched the bonfire burning endlessly. Every now and then, when she heard a groaning sound, Shay glanced and pretended to tend the campfire. Every time he thrust a thousand cherry blossoms into the fire, sparks roared out.

Khalis and the Undead sat at a distance for today. The two didn’t even look at each other like when they first saw each other.

To this non-consideration, Tyrkanjaka waved his hand in response.

“…Okay.”

After saying that, the words that followed made everyone’s hearts heavier.

“I must have been embarrassed. I am Tirkanjaka, the founder. The progenitor of all vampires and a monster who lusts for blood… There’s no way anyone would accept me like this.”

Tirkanjaka, who was saying that, suddenly frowned and put his hand on his chest. Like there’s a heart-eating worm that wants to get it out.

However, the source of the pain cannot be grasped.

The vampire, whose blood was to his will, struggled with the metaphysical pain he was experiencing for the first time.

Tirkanjaka frowns and the members roll their eyes as they see her.

Tyrkanjaka sighed and spoke to Shay.

“Tell me a different story. Hi, is that true?”

“Huh huh?”

Shay, who was suddenly pointed out, was terrified.

If it were an enemy, he would fight back, but these problems that could not be solved by force were too harsh for Shay. It was as Shay gulped and struggled to choose an answer.

Fortunately, the subject of Tyrkanjaka was something else.

“…that the king of sin will surely destroy the world.”

“Ah oh! okay. Shay, who was about to say that

I’m going to…” return, paused for a second.

Those who are satisfied with the present become anxious the moment they hear the word regression. I’m afraid they won’t be happy in the next episode Shay draws.

At that moment, Shay took their happiness hostage. They clung to Shay. Please choose yourself in the future as well. I want you to put the same happiness in your hands.

It was too much pressure for Shay, who had to stop the apocalypse.

This was the reason Shay did not reveal the fact of regression.

To put it bluntly, there were many times when I was dismissed as having suffered from Seonghwangcheong’s wisdom.

‘If now I reveal the fact of regression. I think you’ll believe it…’

Shay carefully inspected Tyrkanjaka.

Now, Tyrkanjaka is suffering from the feelings he has regained, but he doesn’t seem to want to return. Knowing that all of this heartbeat that I felt now could be gone…

Shay was about to speak, but swallowed a gulp before turning back.

“…huh. I saw it with foreknowledge.”

“You mean it yourself? Are you a man?”

“Oh no! There’s a prophet I know! Even if he can’t see a little broadly, he knows the details well! I’m not affiliated with Seonghwangcheong! He is a trustworthy person!”

It was Shay who quickly changed his words. Tyrkanjaka looked at Shay slightly suspiciously, then nodded.

“Is that so?”

Doubts have stopped or there is no time to doubt. Tiredly staring into the distance, Tyr suddenly spoke up.

“I will help you.”

“…uh? really?”

“I don’t mean to completely trust the prophecy. Seonghwangcheong always led prophecies in his favor. However, I don’t want to just sit there and watch this world die.”

“Um, thank you. Will you be okay though?”

Shay spoke very carefully. I didn’t ask what was good. Because that object is melted into this atmosphere.

Tyrkanjaka nodded calmly.

“Hugh asked if he would be able to protect him if the world were to end. I said yes.”

“Did he say that? when?”

“Before leaving the bottomless pit. If the prophecy you know is true, then I have to help you even to keep the word. In fact, even if that’s not the case. Shouldn’t we see what’s going on with our own eyes?”

Tyrkanjaka’s words were pleasing, but Shay frowned at his shadow that melted behind him.

How come there are so many suspicious people? World end? Did he even know that the world was going to end?

“What is that guy really like? Can I belong to Seonghwangcheong? ugh award winning I have to grab hold of it and ask…”

Tirkanjaka’s sighs were heard through Shay’s muttering ears.

“ha.”

The bonfire shook ominously with the Queen of Shadows’ sigh. Tirkanjaka scolded Shay, throwing her shiny silver hair behind her shoulder.

“You are really selfish.”

“uh?”

“How much help did you get from Hugh? I still have to take a break and dig out the suspicious. Are you saying you’re doing this?”

“…uh?”

Tyrkanjaka was getting angry.

It was not hostility towards enemies or contempt for the needy. It was similar to a cold gaze directed at an immature child.

“Even when I first set foot in my abode. After that, when you learn blood manipulation from me. Afterwards, even when they teach us, saying that it is education. You were the one receiving consideration from Hugh.”

“Uh…”

Isn’t that a bean pod?

The regressor, who was about to say this, but barely held back, instead kept his mouth shut and listened to Tyrkanjaka.

‘Why do I have to be scolded?’

With doubts in my head

In the meantime, Tyrkanjaka has released all the accumulated words.

“He provoked me at the right time, kept the conversation going, scolded me, and stimulated me. As a result, it is to your advantage. It relieved your precarious tension, animated this abyss and stirred us all in and out. Hugh’s hard work is not insignificant, so why do you say that you are suspicious?”

But sometimes, from an outsider’s point of view, things look a little different.

After going through 13 regressions, it’s already the 14th. For Shay, who is busy observing the world that has changed little by little, the request to see the world through the eyes of others is daunting.

However, Tirkanjaka’s sermon reminded Shay of a different perspective for a moment.

“You said you helped me?”

“It is still like that. If only Hyuuga had known about the King of Sin and had given me such a promise. Wasn’t that also what I did for you?”

“is it?”

Put on a filter and go back to the past. Shay retraced each action he had made.

As a result, Jizan came into Shay’s hands. It was thanks to him throwing time away against Ji-seon.

Although Jizan twisted the trajectory at the last moment as if choosing this side. Maybe that’s his work too.

Before that, when Lieutenant General Ebon attacked. He attacked the colonel and joined forces on this side. Later, while treating Kalis, I heard that the lieutenant general had prevented Aji from running wild.

He was so kind to Aji, so he didn’t care much, but… that’s also helpful.

And when Finlay. He took the lead in recapturing Tyrkanjaka and reviving the heart of the founder. Thanks to this, Sijo showed a more human side than ever before. Tyrkanjaka became an opportunity to become obsessed with him…

but isn’t this better? Rather than advancing while spattering blood.

“what?”

Shay muttered stupidly. Tyrkanjaka snorted.

“It was ridiculous. You get so much help and no one helps? Even though he was soaked in meticulous consideration, he was most thirsty for help and doubted him. Hello, is that so? Can’t you just accept Hugh, who helped you?”

Every action he did has some meaning.

Really? It’s also something that makes me angry at the slightest provocation. The fact that he brought her while she was training and made her take classes. The fact that they playfully led the atmosphere by pushing and pulling each other between Shay and Tyrkanjaka every time?

“…help?”

“If I hadn’t been on vacation, would you have been talking to me like this? Or would you have sat peacefully with them? Who is the guru of Jimo Shinkyo? What could have happened?”

What if he hadn’t been? How did Shay live in the bottomless pit?

In fact, living itself is not a problem. Shay was used to solitude. I did a few closed-gwan trainings, so I probably lived without a big deal.

However, there would have been no gathering and sitting around this bonfire like now. They wouldn’t even look at each other.

I would have left immediately after work. Because there is no lingering

“is it? Did you… help me? why?”

“It must be heaven. The dog king, me and you too. Didn’t everyone help, except for those with clear malice?”

“Uh…”

No matter how suspicious he recalled, the result was only helpful to Shay in retrospect. If you remove the suspicious bubbles, all that is inside is sweet fruit.

‘He helped… that’s it. I know.’

Shay admitted it candidly and was a little happy at the same time.

Something touched her heart.

I felt a sense of relief that I was still connected and holding on to each other, as if I touched one of the intricately tangled spider webs and the vibrations were transmitted from the other side.

I also met a lot of good people. I got quite a bit of help too. Even if they quarreled, there were many who cooperated with a common goal in front of them.

The one he would call a friend disappeared over and over again, but Shay was able to move on because he had many comrades. In fact, it was the driving force that led her, adding to the sense of duty and debt.

But this is not revealed.

It’s not a push forward, it’s not a favor that pulls it tight.

It seems to be released to the fullest…. Comfort.

“That’s right.”

Shay, who was speechless for a moment, regained her composure with a thousand rounds.

As I averted my gaze, Tyrkanjaka snorted and turned his head away. There was no word for a moment, only the crackling of the campfire filling the camp.

After silence, Shay opened her mouth.

“Tirkanjaka. I’m sorry. When the heart revived.”

“…also.”

“no no! Not to doubt! I just want to hear what happened!”

Shay waved her hand at Tirkanjaka, whose forehead was narrowing, and continued.

“His ability is very little, but I think I know it.”

“What is it?”

“A keepsake.”

Shay lifted the Jizan lying down next to him. A long, blunt club without any decorations, handles, or patterns.

“The memento of such a powerful being is bound to be tested. Depending on how you take the test, the liberated power is different.”

Then Shay put Jizan on the ground and lifted it up with his wrist. Then an amazing thing happened.

The land that touched Jizan. It rose like a fast-growing bamboo shoot.

“But there was no test for the keepsake he handed over. At the same time, all powers were released. Originally, only the power as a ‘club’ was released… Now it’s weak, but I can use this sword as a medium to use earth magic.”

“Interesting… but what does that have to do with my heart?”

“The dilemma of the homunculus. There is only one way to bypass it. The person who changes is yourself.”

There’s no guarantee that you won’t break yourself, but at least it’s natural.

Unlike the case in the homunculus dilemma, Tirkanjaka’s heart was in a very stable state in that it did not require much adjustment.

“I think he made a memento of your memories from when you were alive. By using the fact that you are already dead.”

Shay reasoned sharply.

“He probably has the ability to draw the power of keepsakes. Same with this Jizan. as well as your heart It can’t be explained otherwise.”

“Memorabilia…”

Tirkanjaka put his hand on his chest and felt his heart beat.

A card he pierced through his heart. Was it a memento that forged her memories when she was still alive?

“That makes sense. After that, Hugh lost himself…”

Tirkanjaka muttered quietly, holding his hands together on his chest. Shay also responded by fiddling with Jizan.

“…Certainly, with that guy’s power, I think I’ll be a little more comfortable.”

But the world is wide. How can you find someone who has gone away?

Shay murmured.

“I don’t even know where he came from or where he intends to go. Come to think of it, I really didn’t know anything…” “

…how could I know when Hyuuga wasn’t revealed. No one will ever know.”

“huh? The teacher said he was going back to where he came from!”

Clap. The only noise was the sound of burning campfires. Rash’s bombshell declaration, on the contrary, seemed to drown out all the noise.

Shay and Tirkanjaka asked back half a beat late.

“what?”

“…What?”

Rash replied calmly.

“I honestly talked about it while writing a masterpiece, but I don’t know if it’s true or if it’s even a lie! Anyway, I never said anything!”

“No, that’s okay. What did you say?”

“He said he was already a criminal, so he had no reason not to go back!”

Shay tilted her head.

“…Where was it originally from? Where is it?”

The person who would answer that was also right here. Khalis, who cleared his throat greatly, reported clearly.

“He was arrested for fraudulent gambling in district 13-3 of Amitengrad. He was arrested on the spot and was detained without taking anything with him, so if he had hidden property, it is possible that he went to retrieve it.”

“Scam gamble? Are you sure you were caught cheating?”

“If there is no lie in the relevant documents I have seen, yes. I came as an inspector, so I haven’t seen any documents with a higher security level…”

In other words, higher security documents may contain other information.

It was a pretty sweet temptation for Shay.

His whereabouts were known and his whereabouts were revealed.

There was only one problem left.

Can I go into the middle of the military to find the person who left them because I didn’t like it?

“Aww.”

It was then. Aji, who had been staring blankly at the sky, cried for a long time. When the silent king of beasts opened his mouth, everyone stopped talking and looked at Aji.

Aji said while looking up at the sky.

“I have to go.”

“Where?”

“Human country. The country promised to me.”

Aji looked up at the sky. The starlight shone in the large eyes filled with goodwill. It seemed that he fell into sentimentality while watching the stars in the night sky alone.

‘How can I treat you like a dog?’

Aji opened his mouth while Shay murmured in his heart.

“I kept my promise. Now it’s their turn to keep their promise.”

“Who are they?”

“The country of men. with many humans. I have to go there.”

“Where is it?”

As she asked, Shay felt sorry for herself. Does Aji really know the name of the city that humans gave it at will? Shay was worried about how to interpret Aji’s ambiguous and vague ‘dog’ expression.

“Amitengrad.”

Fortunately, that worry was unfounded. Aji looked at the passing stars with a clearer will than ever before.

“The most important city in the country. I will find an appointment there.”

Tyrkanjaka and Shay looked at each other.

He knows where he’s headed.

I know how much he needs it.

I just had an excuse to go there.

“I will not go after the one who left me ugly. However, if the road is the same, it can’t be helped.”

Tyrkanjaka nodded, keeping his eyes on the blazing bonfire.

“good. This time, I have to overthrow the military. It would be nice to find out the secret about him as well.”

Shay also responded by twirling her arm.

The eyes of the two women led over the bonfire.
