Episode 235

Heroes for little things (5)

“… … .”

Silence like death.

Candidates, who were whiter than the snow piled up in the snow, looked at the blue knight with trembling eyes.

To be precise, I looked at the remains of the black necklace that was lying at the feet of the blue knight.

“The necklace… .”

“Bush, huh?”

The necklace did not simply act as a safety device to protect the general public.

The necklace that was firmly attached to the monster’s neck was a psychological safety device for the candidates participating in the competition.

This is a sign to let you know that this is not an actual battle, but a contest to draw the Seven Stars.

That is why I was able to participate in the game as if I was playing the game to some extent while dealing with the heinous monsters I’ve been facing.

But.

“Oh, uh.”

Now it’s different.

From the moment the blue knight smashed the black necklace that was fastened to his neck.

This is no longer a ‘game’.

“Mi, crazy.”

A fear that spreads like poison.

The candidates who met the blue knight’s dark red eyes trembled pathetically and stepped backwards.

The monster that overwhelms Jason Hardy and Orlando Bale, who were nominated for the championship, without a single wound.

Can the monster be dealt with only by the people here?

The guy who even lost the restriction of a necklace?

“Buy, save, give!”

“Ahhh!”

It didn’t take long to judge.

Candidates turned and ran away with their faces pale blue.

“… … .”

The blue knight was staring blankly somewhere in the distance, without chasing the candidates who were running away for some reason.

Thanks to the Blue Knight’s immobility, soon the candidates were able to successfully spread the distance without leaving anyone behind.

“Heh heh, heh heh! Hey, you damn council bastards! How the hell did you manage the monster?!”

Namgunghwi gave up his usual polite tone and spit out insults.

Did he even hear his screams in fear?

[Ki, I’m giving you an emergency broadcast!]

An urgent voice came from the silver bracelet on his wrist.

It was Olivia’s voice who explained the rules of the tournament.

[For an unknown cause, all the necklaces that control the monsters have now stopped functioning!]

Is this really the same person as Olivia I saw before?

Her tone, which was hard and businesslike, as if her emotions had been castrated, was tired of urgency and fear.

[As of this time, the Chilsung Assembly will be temporarily suspended! Candidates, please return as soon as possible!]

“… What?”

Oh-jin’s expression hardened at the sound of Olivia’s voice emanating from the bracelet.

‘Return?’

then.

What about ordinary people hiding in the safety zone?

“Now, wait a minute, then what about ordinary people?”

I asked whether there were any candidates who had the same thoughts as Oh Jin, as if arguing against his bracelet.

Unexpectedly, the candidate who questioned the bracelet was none other than Nam Gung-Hwi.

“At least the common people in the safety zone should be saved!”

He seemed to have sold all his parents and children if he wanted to become a Chilsung, but he had a bit of conscience.

After a brief silence, Olivia’s hoarse voice escaped from the bracelet.

[The safety zone has a shield installed.]

dog sound.

Oh-jin glared at the silver bracelet and frowned.

Even if a protective shield was installed, it was only a temporary measure.

If the ‘blue knight’ even went to the safety zone.

‘The shield will break with one sword.’

And all the ordinary people hiding there will be slaughtered without even thinking of escaping.

[And all members of the general public in the Parliament have pledged to give priority to the opinion of the Parliament in the event of an emergency.]

okay.

I had written an oath in advance to prepare for such an unfortunate event.

If the common people participating in the competition die, they will be criticized, but they will not be held legally responsible.

“But… .”

When Nam Gung-Hwi was muffled at the end of his speech with a trembling voice.

– Koo! oh oh oh!

A loud noise was heard.

I haven’t heard it around here.

The sound came from a silver bracelet.

It was the sound of ‘outside the dungeon’ where Olivia was.

[Gee, the monsters are coming over here on the warp!]

A faint sound of screams and screams.

[hurry! Candidates get out of the dungeon quickly and defend the hotel!]

Olivia cried out in an urgent voice.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Candidates looking into each other’s eyes.

Namgung-hwi, who was arguing with Olivia, also bit his lips with a conflicted expression.

[If you do not come out, you will be permanently disqualified!]

Olivia talks about conflicting candidates.

[Did you not see how many supporters gathered to see this contest? I’ll be responsible for all the common people in the safety zone, so hurry up! Come out quickly!]

There was no more gentle persuasion.

Olivia cried out in a hoarse voice, as if in hysteria.

“Eww… .”

“Go, let’s go! There is no one out there!”

“They say Congress is responsible for everything!”

The candidates pushed Nam Gung-hwi, who hesitated.

Nam Gung-hwi, who continued to ponder, nodded his head and raised the fan.

“Wind! Make a way!”

In the opposite direction to where the safety zone is located.

A road made of wind was made towards the place where the warp device exits the dungeon.

“hurry! There is no time!”

Namgung-hwi and the other candidates quickly moved out of the dungeon along the wind path.

only one.

Except for misdiagnosis.

“under.”

A laugh came out of Ojin’s mouth.

People gathered around the warp device like clouds came to mind.

A banquet hall filled with famous foreign politicians, celebrities, and journalists.

It was not difficult to imagine what kind of chaos would have arisen if the monsters had started running rampant there.

“So now… .”

As the general manager of the Chilsung Council, it must be urgent for her.

The moment any one of the celebrities gathered to watch the contest as a Congressional Mississippi suffers a victim, he will face a lot of criticism.

‘For those who are outside, you mean to throw away those inside.’

In any case, it was a reasonable decision.

Ordinary people with no power or recognition who have signed that they will not hold Congress accountable for an emergency, and celebrities who paid large donations to see the birth of Chilsung in person at the banquet hall.

There was no need to worry about which of the two lives was ‘worth it’.

“… … .”

Contrary to what is written in textbooks, the value of human life is not equal.

never once.

never been equal

– What didn’t your parents say?

-do not have.

-… … .

-Mom and Dad are very good~ I heard that you left me on a long trip before!

The life of a girl from an orphanage without parents was not even worth protecting.

Isn’t it?

If I had to throw away either a bag of garbage or a bag of expensive jewels, of course it would be right to throw away the bag of garbage.

Outside, she was full of precious lives that could not even be compared with her.

If you go out quickly and defeat the rampaging monsters, you’ll be treated like a hero in the admiration of celebrities.

Maybe it could be a chance to become ‘Chilsung’.

You will be able to attain fame and power that no one can ignore, and you will be able to go to the Milky Way and absorb dragon veins as well.

But.

But.

But.

If so.

“Hahaha.”

Oh Jin shrugged his shoulders, covering his face with his hands.

Know.

I’ve been aware of it since I was a kid I don’t even remember.

That there are no heroes for the little things.

That you can’t be called a hero by protecting the little things.

The world is not a cartoon or a novel.

Even if you pick up trash lying on the side of the road, you cannot be treated like a hero.

“Tell me X.”

he is not a hero

Neither the hopes of mankind nor the inverse stars that will change the fate of the world.

He is just a swindler who knows how to tell lies and seeds.

But.

– Really, Mister?! You promised me!

I remembered Io, who held out her little finger and smiled brightly like a spring flower.

Although promises are not important to him as a con artist.

“It’s okay to be fickle sometimes.”

Oh Jin turned around with a smirk.

The direction opposite to the echo that Namgunghwi and the candidates ran.

‘Toad stigma.’

The power of the Toad stigma amplified the leg power.

Crackle, jiggle!

A blue lightning bolt burned wildly and formed on his legs.

Aww!

It sprints with its feet strong enough to split the glacier.

A cold wind swept through my cheeks sharply.

“Keek!”

“Creep! Keruk!”

As they passed, monsters hiding in the snow ran up to them.

The necklace was not visible.

“I don’t have time to deal with you guys.”

Taang!

Fire a wire shooter at the towering glacier and jump over the monsters.

soaring body.

In the distance, I could see a rock wall that had collapsed due to Namgunghwi’s attack.

‘Stepping on a brain trace.’

Break up!

He stepped on the air and flew towards the safety zone.

The cold wind that had been raging like flesh disappeared, and a warm breeze brushed my cheeks as if spring had arrived.

“Ahhh!”

“Sa, save me!”

A scream is heard.

Among them, a familiar voice was also mixed.

“Everyone, get ready to run away! The shield will break soon!”

In front of the shield made of green light, I could see a group of monsters clinging to each other.

“Karr! Kirk!”

“Coo!

thud! thud! thud!

Monsters screaming and slamming their fists violently.

His eyes were twinkling, seemingly excited at the thought of devouring the prey in front of him.

“charge.”

He flew high and held the spear upside down.

A fiercely blazing blue lightning bolt formed at the tip of the spear.

“Charge, charge, charge, charge.”

One time is not enough.

twice, three times, four times.

A total of five lightning bolts were condensed on the tip of the spear.

“Hey, it’s over. Ooh, we’re all dead now!”

“calm down! You are an adult!”

“Are you serious in this situation right now?!”

“Joe, hold on a little and someone will come to help!”

Io shouted at the confused people.

“Who, who is here to help! You heard the broadcast earlier too!”

It’s a little different from what the candidates kicked.

They also wore silver bracelets on their wrists.

“Who is here? To the orphan, to the homeless, to the debtor! They’re all just bastards who live at the bottom!”

People who shrug their shoulders.

“No one cares if we are behind!”

“that… .”

Io blurs the tip of his tongue.

He clenched his small fist and bowed his head.

She knows it too.

that no one will come to help them.

Heroes for little things are nothing more than fairy tales—

“Discharge.”

Curl rumble!

Lightning struck the dry sky.

Condensed blue thunderbolts exploded and swept the monsters like wild beasts unleashed.

“… Ah.”

Io opened his small mouth and turned his head.

In the torrent of blue lightning, a young man with a black spear was seen standing tall.

“Uncle… Seed?”

Oh-jin raised her pinky finger to Io, who was beyond the cracked shield.

“I kept my promise.”

this time.

I didn’t lie.
