Chapter 496: It’s Darkening! (2)

The effect was indeed awesome.

Although it was a clichéd expression, there would be no words that better express the current situation than this.

Since I didn’t know if they would show a different reaction, I had entered with determination, but they were showing the expected reaction to the point that I felt like I had prepared myself in vain.

Limur was also looking at me with her eyes wide open, as if she didn’t understand what the hell was going on. However, as soon as she noticed, I could see her face brightening immediately.

I realized why I was here looking like this.

‘I don’t think she was told in advance…’

The troops of both sides, who have been struggling in the nest for a long time, also faced a brief state of a lull. The first thing I could see were the people looking at me.

“Hyung-nim, is that you?”

“O-O-Oppa. Waaaahhh. Oppaaa… ”

“Honey?”

“Lee Kiyoung…”

In this order, the people who had spoken were Park Deok-gu, Jung Hayan, Cha Hee-ra, and Elena.

Although they were looking at me as if they couldn’t believe it, most of the reactions showed that they didn’t know how to react to the current situation.

Elena, Cha Hee-ra, and Yuno Kasugano, who seemed to have grasped the situation to some extent, were showing desperate faces as if the sky had collapsed just like Kim Hyunsung.

However, Park Deokgu, who was slow to grasp the situation, was shouting toward me.

His face looked absurdly happy.

“You were alive. Our hyung-nim was alive. I knew you would! Hyung-nim. Hurry up and run this way. No, wait there now. I will go get you directly. I am going directly!”

“…”

“I knew nothing would’ve happened to you. It’s you, after all. I knew you would endure and endure. If you wait a bit there, I’ll get you soon.”

‘Park Deokgu, this motherfucker, why are you so slow?’

I don’t know if he is denying the reality or whether he really didn’t notice, but he was already shedding tears, all whilst shouting.

“Hyung-nim, I’m here. The friend you love the most has come! Can you hear me? Gosh. Look at our hyung-nim’s pale complexion. Why is your hair … What is everyone doing? We need to get rid of these demon bastards quickly and save him. No, what is everyone doing?! Really!”

“…”

“Are you under any magic? You have to pick up your weapon! I’m asking you what you’re doing?! Is Hyunsung okay? Wizards quickly chant spells, and warriors, lift your shields! I said, lift your shields! Hyung-nim is right in front of us! He’s right under our nose! What is everyone doing?!”

“Oh, this motherfucker is making me sad. Really. And I’m not that close to be under your nose.”

“It’s too late.”

“What is late? Enough with the bullsh*t, and get ready to fight, bastards!”

“…”

“Get ready for battle! Get ready for battle, you idiots!”

The sound of Park Deokgu’s loud voice in the hall, as if a silent spell had silenced it, was all we could hear.

He looked around and shouted that they had to save me quickly, but there was no voice that responded. Everyone had noticed that something weird was going on, all except for that guy.

Even a sobbing sound can be heard. It was obvious who it was.

“Waaahhhhh. Oppa… waaaaaaahh…”

I didn’t look at her because I knew I would get soft, but Jung Hayan’s voice sounded so sad that I had to steel myself. I couldn’t change the plan now.

As I moved slowly, it was natural that all eyes were focused on me.

Looking around my whole body as if I had just gained a new power, looking at the ceiling, and feeling fulfilled, was the best improvisation I could do as a supporting actor in this drama.

Of course, it didn’t take long before the faces of those who were still holding onto the string of hope were now stained with despair.

This was because Limur was slowly approaching this way.

“Hyung-nim! Get away! Sh*t! What are you doing! Let go! Let go of me!”

“Calm down!”

“Will you just leave it like that? We don’t know what that monster will do to him! Let go of me quickly!!!”

“I’m telling you to calm down!”

“Hyung-nim! Can you hear my voice? Get away quickly! Get away! Sh*t! Get away!! I said, get away, you stupid motherfucker! “

His voice, which seemed to be worried about me sincerely, only got louder as she approached me.

However, as if he noticed that Limur didn’t show much hostility to me, his face became the same face as the guys with their mouths shut too.

His expression even started to look terrifying after seeing that she even snuggled up on me. The look on Deokgu’s face didn’t look like him at all.

As if they were curious about what was going to come out of my mouth, I heard the sound of everyone swallowing hard together.

At this point, I began to speak, my cold voice echoed throughout the entire arena.

“So noisy.”

“Huh?”

“…”

“W-what are you talking about?”

“You’re so noisy. I was feeling so refreshed… now I’m not very comfortable.”

“Are you on your mind? Hyung-nim! If you are, take a look at me. It’s me, Park Deokgu. Your friend, Park Deokgu.”

“Oppa… oppa!!”

“Honorary Cardinal. Can you hear me? C-Can you hear me?”

“What are they talking about. Limur?”

-You don’t need to worry about it, my husband.

‘Who are you calling your husband?’

I was speechless with the sudden setup. However, the reaction it spouted out didn’t look all that bad.

The original plan was to look as if I was being manipulated by Limur, but I thought that looking as part of the 27th Corps could be more dramatic.

I even darkened, but the appearance of working under others definitely did not look cool.

The tentacle woman’s tentacles entangled in a sticky feel felt a bit uncomfortable, but the picture itself did not look all that bad. This was enough to unravel the world of everyone I had ever known.

‘It’s because it works.’

“Oppa… waaaaaahh. Oppa…”

“… …”

“Oppa…hic. Hic!”

“… …”

“Oppa…”

Jung Hayan kept crying and calling me. I wasn’t familiar with the class that changed yet, but…

“Didn’t I just say that you’re being too noisy?”

The dark energy that began to unite in my hand was shot at Jung Hayan in an instant.

‘What the…’

It was only to scare her, but because of Belial’s perks, pretty threatening energy began to emerge.

It was Cho Hyejin who blocked the attack for her. Jung Hayan looked shocked, as if she hadn’t been expecting me to do something like that at all.

Cho Hyejin, who blocked it, also looked sad.

“Stay back. Hayan. It’s dangerous.”

“…”

“This is a lie. Hic!”

“…”

“Waaaahhhhh. Hic. Oppa…”

“Shut your mouth, stupid human.”

“…”

‘You obey well, Hayan.’

-You don’t need to be angry. My husband. Those inferior things that hurt my husband’s head will soon be gone.

“What did you do to the Vice Guild Master?”

‘Hyejin, thank you for being so angry.’

-Do I need to explain? It is exactly what it looks like. He just decided to be with us. The transparent human you know is not here right now. What you see now is not the ugly Benignore dog, but the Vice-Captain of the 27th Corps, who has won the favor from Belial. He is also my husband who pleases me every night.

‘I wonder if there is a need to put in such useless things. This one is really deserving of being Belial’s first pick.’

Certainly, her quickness to catch onto the situation was amazing.

-You’re already too late. Pfff. It’s so funny that you came running in a hurry, not knowing anything. I think you’ve enjoyed it for a while, but how is it? Have you enjoyed it? It was really worth seeing that you were struggling to hope it would not be too late, but things have changed a little now.

“…”

-Yes. I like that face. It fits perfectly with inferior humans like you.

It was impossible to know as to whether this was simply acting, or real that her body was indeed shaking.

One thing was for sure, her face looked really depressed.

‘I don’t know if the results are accumulating right now.’

I thought it was probably building up quite a bit. Most of the humans had faces that seemed to have no more hope. It seemed that even a 3-year-old child could tell that the feeling of despair they were feeling was enormous. Even…

‘Gosh, Hyunsung.’

The expression that he wore, a crazed, despairing look, seemed appropriate.

Originally, I already knew that Kim Hyunsung’s mentality was weak as it was, but with the surprise that had sprung onto his face, it felt like seeing a walking corpse.

‘Are you even alive?’

I wondered if he’d fainted with my eyes awakened by Limur’s blow. It was only possible to infer that she was alive through continued murmurs.

Since he said that it was important to whom you signed the contract with, it would also be important to whom you draw negative emotions for.

I thought that the achievements currently being accumulated by Kim Hyunsung and the State’s main force might have already exceeded the break-even point that Belial has invested so far.

As if I wasn’t interested, I looked around slowly again, and there were no humans who thought they had to resist. Most of the humans had already begun to give up.

Elena and Yuno Kasugano were also staggering as if the soul had escaped, and I didn’t need to mention about Hayan.

The State’s Blue guild members and priests are also calling only Benignore’s name as if they could not believe it.

‘They need to escape… what should I do with this?’

As it is now, there was no way they could escape. Surprisingly, the one who was keeping her cool was…

Cha Hee-ra.

I thought she would go crazy right away because of her personality, but she looked around like she was indeed an adventurer with a full experience.

The fact that he was gradually maintaining the line of battle was impressive.

It was even more amazing when I thought about the bleeding coming out of her lips and tears in her eyes.

“Retreat.”

‘She’s given the right judgment.’

Most of them weren’t even in any condition to fight.

As Kim Hyunsung, who could be said to be the team’s main damage dealer in the first place, was in that shape, it would be irrational to have an all-out battle again.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

And, if I just played along with that, this would all end. When I opened my mouth, sporting cold eyes, a loud noise began to erupt from the place.

“Kill them all.”

-I will do as you command.

‘That was so fucking cool of me. Damn.’
