I Will Become The Final Villain - Episode 131
Episode 131
I came down to earth and turned into a human. It was to tell Theo.
“Theo! “We have to stop it!”
At my shout, Theo fired magic at Chaos without stopping, and I flew back into the sky and added divine power to Theo’s magic. It was intended to increase the destructive power even a little.
Then, everyone, including me, turned and blocked Theo’s magic with their entire bodies. Those heading towards the imperial palace, those returning to block the attack, and those pouring out of the crack all became entangled in an instant. Nevertheless, there was not a single monster targeting Theo and me. Looking at that terrible scene, I suddenly realized.
‘I can’t stop it… .’
Yes, this can never be stopped. It would be the same even if we gathered not only Theo and I but also talented people from all over the country. The reason the monsters didn’t target us in the first place was because they weren’t that threatening. Chaos knows that he can’t stop it no matter what he does, so he just leaves it alone. Theo also seemed to have realized that fact, and gritted his teeth.
Moreover, I couldn’t figure out how to destroy the crack that was holding on so chaotically. Even as I was lost in thought, the fingers that had slipped out of the crack were increasingly appearing outside. However, chaos was not easy, and fortunately, the speed at which the cracks opened was not that fast.
Thinking that I couldn’t just sit there like this, I tried exploding divine power to push the chaos back into the crack, and like before, I applied more holy power on top of Theo’s attack, but it had no effect.
Out of curiosity, I fired divine power into the crack instead of causing chaos. Then, a crack fluttered for a moment, and the long finger retreated just a little.
‘It’s effective…’ !’
Theo, who noticed the chaotic reaction, now launched an attack towards the inside of the crack instead of using his fingers. From our perspective, it seemed like we were being sucked into a black hole and had no effect, but judging by the chaotic reaction, it was clear that we were taking a hit.
As it spun around in the sky and persistently aimed at the inside of the crack, something like a black fog stirred within the crack, and something white enough to be pale spread out horizontally. It was a look of confusion.
The moment I faced the bottomless pit-like eyes in the middle of it all, I felt the fear of death for the first time. I have finally felt it. If you die like this, there will be no reincarnation or anything, it will literally lead to extinction.
While I was frozen in fear of the unknown, my eyes rolled to the side with a rolling sound. I felt like I knew what to do. I jumped away before I could even think about it. I flew towards Theo as fast as I could. Then, he used his divine power to build a protective shield over and over again. In an instant, a barrier was created that even if several top-level monsters rushed in and knocked on Theo, they could not even touch a hair. Still, I felt strangely anxious.
Chaos sent something towards Theo. It was an attack that I could not detect even with my body vision. At that moment, the world stopped, just like it did when facing the highest level monster. Everything is flowing slowly, and even my quick movements are moving very slowly. Strangely enough, the shots sent by Chaos were so fast.
The thick layer of film broke dozens of times every second. The speed did not slow down at all.
It seems that it has slowed down a bit to the point where I only notice it when more than half of the shield is broken. But it was okay. Now that I too was within a stone’s throw of Theo, this was enough. Anyway, all of this was to buy time.
As the eagle’s body seemed to have no problem with it, as soon as it got close to Theo, it transformed into a human and pushed Theo’s body as hard as it could. Theo stumbled and fell, reflexively hugging my body, and we rolled on the floor together.
Kwaang-!
Time around me returned to its original state. Something thrown by Chaos passed by us and hit the ground far away with a loud noise. The surrounding area was devastated, and the monsters nearby were also swept away and died without a trace.
I barely managed to get up with shaky arms and was breathing heavily, but strangely, it felt like my breathing had stopped. First, I looked around Theo’s body to make sure there were no injuries. Fortunately, it looked fine to the naked eye.
Still, I had to ask if he was okay just in case, but I still couldn’t breathe well and couldn’t speak. It felt like a thick membrane was closing her throat. It felt so strange that I suddenly looked down. There was a hole in the middle of my chest.
“ah… .”
The wound was already black and dead, and it was filled with a lot of chaotic energy, which was continuously absorbing divine power. The divine power had been used up almost to the ground around Theo, so the absorption would soon be over.
“Oh, no… . Shuian, this can’t be like this… .”
That meant dying soon.
Theo was so panicked that he couldn’t even touch my wound. Tears quickly welled up in her pretty eyes, which were like the most precious jewel in the world and sometimes like fire. The fire dissipated like fog.
‘I didn’t want to hurt you… .’
Be it body or mind.
When I saw the expression on his face that looked like he was about to collapse at any moment, I was able to breathe a little and finally let out my voice. However, it was so quiet that you couldn’t hear it unless you concentrated.
“Theo.”
“Shuian, no…” . It can’t be like this… !”
“Sorry. Don’t cry, survive until the end. “Don’t lose to that damn thing.”
When I said that, my body slowly tilted. My eyelids were so heavy that I kept closing them.
‘I can’t…’ .’
I haven’t told you I love you yet. I have more to say… .
I slowly closed my eyes, feeling the lukewarm tears falling non-stop on my cheeks.
***
Suddenly I opened my eyes. I roughly rubbed my puffy eyelids with the back of my hand and stood up. Seeing him sprawled out on the sofa with his cell phone in his hand, he seemed to have fallen asleep again while scrolling through a delivery app.
“You’re crazy. “Has work been very difficult these days?”
Recently, I intentionally increased my workload. It wasn’t that money was tight, but it was nice to come home after work and fall asleep so I wouldn’t have to think about anything else. Friends who knew my situation scolded me and asked me why I was working so hard, but it was much better than sitting around and thinking about useless things.
But perhaps that’s why I’ve been strangely tired lately. Even though I felt like I had slept well, when I woke up in the morning, I felt mildly achy here and there, and my eyeballs felt stiff, as if I had closed them for just a moment. Moreover, a few days ago, I would fall asleep during the short time I sat down on a chair to take a break from work.
‘I wonder if there’s something wrong with my body.’
Maybe. Even if the mind is broken, it is not noticeable, but the body is quickly revealed to the outside. Whatever the reason, I hadn’t had a single day’s rest in years, so I felt like I was going to be upset.
‘Should I go to the hospital?’
No, what hospital is it? I quickly shook my head. In the first place, when I’m sick, I go to the hospital and get some medicine. I’m a human being who has to beg people to go to the hospital. Going to the hospital just because you are a little tired is extreme. Besides, if you are really hurt enough to need treatment, you will soon be in a state where you cannot avoid going to the hospital. I decided to ignore it and ignore it.
Yes, just eat well. It would be better if I rested well, but I don’t want to do that yet, so let’s at least eat well. Well then, shall we order a health food today? I scrolled down and looked at chicken stores. When it comes to health food, it’s chicken. It’s not much different from samgyetang in that the main ingredients overlap. It was a very lame excuse to give to myself, but what could I do? For me, this is the best health food.
I ordered the chicken that was said to be the best at the restaurant with the highest ratings. Next, as I always do when killing time, I turned on the TV, switched to any channel, and then turned on a web novel. What have I been watching these days? It was a novel that felt somewhat familiar.
Bang bang bang!
I was fiddling with my phone when I suddenly looked up when I heard an impatient knock. Could it be that the chicken has already arrived? No way. Even if I gave you what I made, it would take longer than this, right?
bang-!
I turned down the sound on the TV and waited for a while to see if I had heard something wrong, and then the front door shook again. No, who on earth is knocking on the door without even ringing the bell? That too, someone else’s house. Are you going to take responsibility if there is a complaint from next door?
I had no choice but to get up and go to the intercom. The screen was all black, so I couldn’t see who was at the door.
“who are you?”
There was no answer. Is this really the belt thing? Or did they intentionally cover the camera? The moment when my mind became complicated.
‘Shuian.’
A voice came from over the intercom.
“Who are you?”
‘You should stop getting up.’
“I think you’re at the wrong house.”
Oh, I guess he was just a drunk person. I was nervous for no reason. She lost her nerve and turned away from the door. for a moment. Shuian? Where have you heard so many times? … .
‘Shuian, wake up. ‘Let’s go back.’
‘Let’s go back’? At those words, I suddenly looked around the house. What should have been a familiar sight was strangely unfamiliar. It seemed like the most important thing was missing. The most important thing to me… .
“Theo.”
Then it occurred to me.
Yes, I had a place to return to.
