Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 29

EP.29 Resistance – 4

Delta, with a large stinger stuck in his head, couldn’t even change his expression. Her lips were barely pursed from her twitching face, and she struggled to form words.

Delta said with difficulty.

“What is this…”

“What? where did the card go? Voila! It was here!”

Poo-wook. I pulled the skewer out of his head. When the stopper was removed, blood gushed out like a pool of blood bursting.

Delta, bleeding from his head, groaned as if it had broken and tried to grab the gun again. However, his hand continued to clasp the misaligned position in vain. I stretched my arm toward the trigger, but it kept bending to the right. The trembling fingers were miserable.

When the skewer was flipped over, the skewer that just went in and out of someone’s head was gone and a card with blood stains appeared. I shook the card to shake off the blood and bowed deeply toward Delta.

“Thank you for watching. You were a pretty good spectator, but I’m a magician! I can’t die in a place like this.”

“Ugh me.”

“Whether a magician falls into a river chained up or trapped in a place full of lit explosives, a magician has to get out alive in the end. So I can’t participate in the rare bomb suicide show you show. sorry! I decided to stage an escape show for you guys on the stage of Tantalus!”

Delta’s body collapsed to the ground. His brain was broken, and he could no longer respond. Only the sparse thoughts let us know that we are not dead yet.

But that won’t last too long.

I crouched down and made eye contact with him.

‘We knew our purpose from the beginning.’

“Of course I know. I don’t know how. There’s no way you, who were prepared to die, would attack while thinking about it, right?”

‘Knowingly trying to deceive me.’

“You cheated. well? Who cheated first? Your captain who says he’ll let you escape without even thinking about it? Or you, pretending to be virtuous and pretending to be troubled, hiding behind the scenes and silently watching the lie? Can you say you didn’t cheat?”

‘no. I am.’

“It doesn’t matter how noble you want to be. Justice not expressed in action is like undigested vomit. No matter how much you value your own feelings or wrap them in a cause. Your justice is, after all, just an expression of self-love.”

‘My thoughts. read.’

Thoughts gradually become clouded. Blood drains from the hole in the head and pools in the other side. The pressure created by the imbalance oppresses his brain. As the brain is destroyed, consciousness also collapses.

The last thought protruded. As if writing a long last word to decorate the end of a book, the remaining lingering feelings continued like inertia.

A book is about to come to an end.

Having fully read his thoughts, I made eye contact with him and whispered.

“Goodbye, Elsie Clark. You are a failed terrorist. No matter what your past is, no matter how many excuses you make. It won’t change you.”

‘Ahhh.’

“But I will remember you and your end.”

‘ah.’

“hi.”

thought was interrupted

A book ended with this.

It was the body of the codename Delta, real name Elsie Clark, and now it has become a corpse and is scattered on the ground.

I wiped the corpse’s eyes with my hand. The corpse’s eyes closed.

End with it. An ordinary and short life ended with this.

“Whoa.”

Fortunately, there is no need to clean the blood. The blood flowing from the corpse was rolling toward the underground armory as if it were the logic of the world. As long as vampires exist, there is no need to do the troublesome task of wiping off the stained blood.

I shook my sore shoulders and murmured.

“ruler. One job done.”

Next is the boss. It won’t end until we catch him who took the bomb.

ruler. Leader. where are you doing what Let me read your thoughts.

I closed my eyes. Scattered mind reading. I groped for thoughts that I could feel vaguely in my wide field of vision as if they were permeating like fog.

..

…

“Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety days. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-two…”

Huung. Huung.

An invisible sword cuts through space. It is a sword without weight or thickness. The reason why you can hear the sound of cutting wind from a sword with no thickness is because you swing the blade with the blade flat to feel the minimum weight. Even so, a sharp sword wind spread as if tearing through all directions.

“…only.”

The ten thousandth swing was over. sweat trickles down Although the loose pants are made of well-ventilated material, they are not enough to cool the overheated body. Shay stole a bobbed hair that came down slightly below her ears. Beads of perspiration fall to the ground at the end.

involuntarily and impulsively. Cut the dripping drops of sweat once twice five times ten times. An overlapping slash.

One fall turned into a total of 392 small bumps. The fragmented beads of sweat hit the floor and scattered in all directions.

“Whoa.”

Shay stood up again. It is a completed posture. A no-nonsense middle tax created through self-reflection during the last 13 regressions.

It was a good posture to use the weightless sword, Thousand Cherry Blossoms. Since there is no weight, there is no need to store strength in advance, and the angel can pull out a celestial manga with just a turn of the wrist while in the middle position.

Of course, like all things in the world, the side is left and right in two directions, so the fact that it cannot store power in advance is a disadvantage in itself. The weight of one blow is insufficient.

However, that was a problem that could be solved by obtaining the earth sword, Jizan.

So what she has to do is train. Until she gets Jizan, she has to take off one layer until the powerful sword covers her power.

It is Tantalus who came for that purpose, and it is the blood-sculpting technique he learned for that purpose.

Shay stood up again.

It is a completed posture. Flawless. However, in order to go further, perfection must be destroyed and flaws must be caught. This is because you have to break down one shell to see a bigger world.

Early episodes that I can’t even remember the old days. The swordsmanship of the ronin, which she wielded in order to live far away, is only holding her ankle now that she has transcended half. The time had come to abandon the swordsmanship that had supported her for so many years and died with her.

To completely tear down and build anew.

Shay caught the angel again.

“Whoa. Whoa.”

I got quite a bit from Tantalus. He saw with his own eyes the prison escape case he had only heard about, and even met a vampire and a dog king. And even unexpected variables.

…variable.

The sword creaks. The trajectory was twisted. Shay stopped swinging her sword and gritted her teeth.

He has a carefree and relaxed impression. Every time she thought of him, Shay felt something was out of place. A person who does not exist in the future Shay knows. However, he exudes a definite presence and is living here. He is closer to Aji than anyone else, and Tyrkanjaka also cares about him. Even if it disappears like this, its presence will surely be imprinted on it.

More than anything, Shay cared too much about him.

“Cheet. Even if it didn’t get caught there…”

It feels like being rolled in every time it gets involved. I feel bad, but that doesn’t mean that the man did something bad. Every time I do something, it’s just strangely unpleasant.

In addition, he is hiding something. Otherwise, there was no way you could expect to see through Shay’s stealth tricks and overhear them.

If I fought with all my might, I could win, but I didn’t feel the need to make a life-and-death decision by consuming everything now that there was no sign of hostility. So, Shay’s conclusion was a provisional bystander. It was their position that they would not attack unless a fight was made.

It would be difficult if you were caught in a surprise attack in a careless state, but…

“It’s difficult. rather good Because I know you can’t trust me.”

If you die then move on to the next round. From then on, the moment he gets involved with Shay, he will be questioned with his limbs cut off.

Misconceptions were mixed. Shay swung his sword as if brushing away his thoughts.

I swung my two thousandth sword. Beads of sweat wet the floor, breathing slows down, but it is still not satisfactory. If you put your strength into the newly learned Blood Josul, the balance is off, and if you draw cleanly without waste, it feels like returning to the old swordsmanship.

blood. I wondered if it would be different if I could fully understand blood and feel the weight flowing through my body.

Is her talent not enough? Could it be that she can’t find the posture to contain all her power?

If there was a sparring opponent that would be helpful at times like this… For example, a man whose bottom line is unknown…

“Oh!”

Did you concentrate too hard? I didn’t even feel the presence of someone approaching. Shay, who had stopped swinging her sword, took a deep breath and glared at the uninvited guest.

The uninvited guest was wearing thick armor. Shay immediately grasped the model. The military equipment commander of the armed forces. Looking at the signs of poor management in that outdated design, it seems that someone is stealing and using a model that will be discarded due to old age.

Shay murmured, wiping her face with her sleeve.

“resistance?”

“What what? how?”

The young man made a surprised expression.

It’s a simple logic. Even though it is an outdated model, there is no way for the military to neglect military equipment, the essence of military technology. All of them are collected and discarded, or dismantled and used to make new accessories.

If there is anyone who wears such a model, it must be the person who stole or took possession of the military equipment that is scheduled to be discarded.

Then there is only resistance.

The uninvited guest, who was momentarily taken aback, smiled at his uncomfortable feelings and said,

“haha. It seems that the reputation of our resistance is widely known. To think that even such a young boy recognizes us… Boy, are you a laborer too?”

“no. I am a prisoner.”

Shay answered briefly. It was a word he spat out without any will to continue the conversation.

At that time, Shay suddenly found a strange part in the young man’s words. Rather, do you mean ‘too’? There must be no laborers here now?

Before pointing that out, the young man made a fuss.

“To confine such a young boy to Tantalus! The military is truly a heartless country without blood or tears! What crime did this little boy commit!”

“He sat down in the middle of the city and said he would give me a gold coin if he beat me. One by one I knocked down all the crowds of people. Later the army came and knocked them all down too. So, a man named Jangseong came and took me away.”

“huh?”

The young man was sweating profusely. When the opponent showed a different response than expected, he finally thought about seeing Shay properly.

It’s probably because she didn’t eat well, and her body is thin and thin. Even though he is a ‘man’, his thin ankles, visible under the loose hem of his pants, seem to have been brittle since birth, and would break at any moment with a slight blow. It’s not a body suitable for fighting.

However, there was no fear in his bright eyes, and his upright posture was sharpened like a sharpened knife.

It was like a sword, not a human. Even breathing is terrifying, and even if you stand still, it seems like you’re going to slash your opponent.

The young man instinctively adjusted his military uniform. The armor moved with a clanking sound, covering the neck and lower jaw. Shay hadn’t shown any resentment yet, but he was frightened and protected his vitals.

Shay looked at the man with a slashing gaze.

“The reason why the resistance came to Tantalus… It’s not like it’s a ridiculous story about rescuing prisoners. Are you here to terrorize?”

The young man hurriedly waved his hands and shouted as if he had been hit.

“What are you talking about! Are we even terrorists!”

“huh.”

Shay, who said it clearly, said coldly.

“Resistance… ragtags with no vision, just vague dissatisfaction. All you do is run like moths to a fire and terrorize them…”

Disappointment and disillusionment as if they had experienced it firsthand, or actually experienced it. Shay’s voice contained a cold determination.

The young man was startled as if he felt Shay’s feelings.

“It must have been too much for ideological education! We are a resistance group for freedom. I will defeat the military government that has unjustly seized power and give this country true freedom!”

“I tried, but it didn’t change much. No, it got worse.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t have to understand. I have no intention of explaining it.”

Shay glared at the young man with a cherry blossom hanging over his shoulder.

“To bring down Tantalus? sounds funny. Tantalus isn’t going to collapse just because rats like you squeak and gnaw. you will fail Because it’s not time to break down yet.”

“no! We will succeed! The captain is already working on it. When the work is done, this legendary prison will fall and we will be recorded as liberators!”

The young man couldn’t contain his excitement and shouted like that. Shay snorted and replied.

“You just said it with your own mouth. They said they came to terrorize.”

“Suck!”

Now that I’ve said it myself, I can’t even deny it. The young man frowned and muttered as he raised his arms menacingly.

“…that’s pretty good. Little. It’s a judo newspaper.”

“Sick. It’s just that your mouth is cheap. If this is a judo newspaper, profiling by the Military Security Agency would be mind-reading.”

A series of provocations broke the young man’s reason. Forgetting the advice of the captain, the young man shouted with enmity.

“okay! Tantalus disappears beyond the abyss! We will tear down this symbol of oppression! So what are you going to do?”

“If Tantalus collapses, you won’t be safe either, right?”

“Does not matter! We came prepared for death! The Resistance is always ready to die for their country!”

“hmm. country.”

There is no sane person talking about the country. Shay smiled and raised her arms.

“well? I don’t think he’ll just leave it alone.”

Tantalus will fall.

But not now.

A little less than a year later, ‘she’ comes to visit. After that, Tantalus collapses, and true despair crawls out from underneath. The pieces of the apocalypse, monsters that alone could end the world if left alone.

So, they are bound to fail. Even in the days without Shay, not even a single line of mention was left. If it was Tantalus that would collapse because of just a few terrorists, it wouldn’t have been called the bottomless pit.

It’s something she doesn’t have to worry about. Maybe the guy will take care of it himself. You seem to be good at this kind of thing.

“Apart from that, I have no reason to leave you alone, right?”

sereung.

A clear echo is heard. Shei pulled out a cherry blossom and stirred the air. Even the sharpness of the sword was revealed to the world.

Shay muttered ferociously.

“The scarecrow came to my feet.”

“Scarecrow?!”

In response, the man hurriedly manipulated the military uniform. The pitched helmet springs up. A hard helmet was put on his face and his visor was lowered. Steel scales grow on weak points such as the neck and armpits.

Steel interlocks. clap clap clap. A regular, mechanical noise surrounds him. Gaiters on the legs, gauntlets on the arms, a muzzle in the left hand loaded with six armor-piercing bullets, and a right hand with a huge greatsword that can rip through blades.

The fully armed young man roared at Shay.

“A scarecrow? no! This is the commander! Do you think you can beat me when you are only naked?”

As long as you have a biological terminal, have magical powers to support alchemy, and have the power to move with it.

Full-body alchemy equipment that allows ordinary people to wield knight-level powers. chief of staff.

The young man clad in that power walked menacingly and shouted.

“You will regret your careless words!”

“Hmm. bare body. I’m naked…”

Shay wasn’t surprised at all even with the military commander in front of him. measured instead. The strength of the opponent and oneself, and what one lacks in oneself.

“good. Just in case, I needed a close practice. I will face you naked.”

Shortly thereafter, Shay stopped operating qigong.

He also reaped the magical power that was wrapped around the blade.

Standing here now is a weak girl holding a treasured sword overflowing with resentment.

Only one individual’s skill and experience must overcome the weapons built up by the blood and history of the military nation.

can i do it

It doesn’t matter. Shay laughed.

“I’m going to try it.”

Even if I die, I will only die more.

The girl approached the general, who began to maneuver with an invisible sword. In response to the sound of metal interlocking, the angel cries thinly and long.
