A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 266

ep.269

Honestly, I was anxious..

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!]

-Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

"haha."

Heavy drinking can be heard, monsters constantly flooding the ground..

and.

"This is... what the hell..."

Shining oval doors floating in the darkened sky.

Things that resemble portals, like something you would see in a space movie..

above the sky.

One by one, like stars shining darkly.

Under the moonlight, floating in the air.

[-Grrrrrrrrgh.]

in the air, on the ground.

Tuk.

Tuk, Tuk, Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk.

Strange things that are as big as bears and not of this world..

Go over that door and fall one by one.

As soon as they wake up, they attack everything around them..

The sight of so many and endless crowds in the dark night sky.

No matter how experienced Stardust she is,.

After a continuous battle, it was enough to tire him out..

'...Fortunately, it's very weak.."

[Wow!!]

That's what she thought, crushing monsters with one punch.

The good news is that they are outnumbered, but they die in one hit from her attack..

Still, still.

There were so many of them.

"haha..."

and. The scariest thing is.

I don't know when this disaster will end.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh my... thank you..."

After rescuing a person trapped under the rubble of a building attacked by monsters.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she thought.

The good news is that people ran away long ago..

Is it because the moment the Moonlight cult leader's speech started, the association immediately responded and led the people. And maybe it was because the head of the Wolgwang clan was talking back and forth longer than expected..

So far, there didn't seem to be many victims....

"....."

How much longer can people endure?.

It seems like all the monsters that have been released so far have low intelligence, and they only wander around on the ground and can't climb buildings. Or maybe flying types only fly in the sky and can't attack the ground. It was like this.

...What if a monster attacks the underground? If a monster stronger than before appears?

she could feel it intuitively.

This is just the beginning. Something stronger will come out in the future.

"...ha."

The city center is in ruins, the sky is so dark that you can't even see an inch in front of you without street lights, smoke rising here and there and the creepy cries of monsters. No matter who sees it, the world looks closer to destruction than ever before..

While calmly wiping out the monsters around the huge tower that suddenly appeared in the sky,.

Deep in Stardust's heart, there was still a feeling of anxiety..

And is that why?.

Is it because it is a situation where no one can see what is ahead and there seems to be no answer?.

More than ever.

In situations where there always seems to be no answer, the only answer.

His image keeps coming to mind.

'...ego stick.'

yes. It seems like there might be something there. Something big. Probably something huge that could make a difference before and after.."

...Surely he said that.

Perhaps he was predicting today's events to some extent..

and...

And, when that moment comes, I will help you too..

okay.

I'm sure he said he would help.

Because he is a man who always keeps his word..

Deep in her heart, she held one hope.

Even in a disaster-like situation, if you calmly fly through the sky, you can hunt monsters and resolve the situation as best as possible..

So, when Ego Stick finally appeared and called me.

"I have a plan. A plan to stop this disaster."

In the middle of the chaos we met again.

Looking at the ego stick who looks at me like always, with eyes full of confidence, and says that..

After she told him that she knew.

I quietly follow him as he tells me to go. Looking at his back as he moves forward. Then I realized.

ah.

I guess I depended on Egostick more than I thought. You trusted him..

Just by looking at his face, just by his simple words. How can you feel so relieved?.

...That's right, I.

okay.

I told you I had an idea. I have a plan.

Well then, I will trust you. I will trust you and support you.

Just like you always did to me.

She thought those thoughts quietly to herself..

I followed him, my blonde hair flying..

...For some reason, I left behind the stinging gaze I felt from the villain named Moonlight Maiden next to me..

***

The story so far.

I, Egostick, joined Stardus in the middle and headed to the bizarre tower where the Moonlight Cult leader was located with Eunwol to stop the gate incident. end.

...I wish the story were this simple.

As expected, that Moonlight cult leader didn't sit still either..

"for a moment...!"

This city filled with strange pink smoke.

We were flying at the fastest speed, taking down all the powerful monsters guarding the tower with Stardust at the forefront..

At Stardust's urgent cry, it stopped in the air..

What, what happened?.

I stopped in the middle like that.

If I looked carefully ahead, I could see why Stardus was doing that..

"Haha... of course it is.."

Starders, the reason she spoke with a hard face.

Because of the dozens of blue giants before us.

[Crrrrrrrrr....]

A huge body stained dark purple with hideously raised pink blood vessels. Strangely distorted face and body.

But the eyes are burning bright red..

To be exact, things we've seen before.

okay.

"It's a soul eater.."

i said so.

In the past, the Moonlight Church made an entity appear without warning in the original work, causing Stardust to fight to the death..

A soul eater, one of the Moonlight Church's elite weapons that becomes stronger by sucking souls. It was them..

...The problem is, there isn't just one bastard, there are multiple entities..

Rather than that, it seems to be much stronger than before, surrounded by a strange energy..

"...."

And of course.

Stadus, who saw the scene, hardened his expression and pursed his lips..

Maybe it's because he's fought to the death before, but he knows how strong they are..

It seems like he remembered the nightmare of that day when he blocked almost all of her attacks and attacked her alone..

...Of course, she also became much stronger than then. Unlike when she was still immature, she can freely use the power of the stars..

However, if she had a good sense, she might have noticed, but they also became stronger..

These soul eaters appeared in the final match of Moonlight Gate just like they do now..

It is one of the two final weapons of the Moonlight Cult, and they become stronger as they feast on souls..

...And, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they've strengthened to level 3. in other words. It just means that it's strong enough to be difficult to fight with even with the current Stardust..

"Pfft..."

That's why Stadus was gritting his teeth as he looked at the guys who looked like they were about to rush towards him..

Hmm... If we fight, Stardust will probably win in the end. In the end, the protagonist always wins.

However... it will take a long time and many scars. And by that time, the Moonlight cult leader would have already run away..

That's not very funny?

So, I decided to just skip this boring scene..

"Mr. Stathers, just a moment. I will solve this problem."

"...huh?"

So I grit my teeth and pass by Stardust..

I naturally snapped my fingers next to Eunwol and called out to them as I had practiced beforehand..

"Soul Capture Counter. Eunwol, I'm ready.?"

"yes."

"okay. shoot!"

I grinned and said so..

Last time, when Starthers was having a hard time against the Soul Devourer, I sniped on her behalf and took down the cult leader without her knowing..

Because they are this strong, of course they have weaknesses..

It's silver.

In the original work, their weakness was discovered years after the disaster. I decided to use this right away. Last time and this time too.

And this time, I knew they would come out, so I prepared even more thoroughly..

So I stretched out my arms and shouted with confidence.

As a result.

"....."

"...."

...hmm. nothing happened.

what? is something wrong?

So I just awkwardly stretch my arms out.

[[[Grrrrrr!]]]

When they finally jumped at us.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwanggwang-

Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa-

Burbubbubbubububububuk.-

Huge drones appeared in the sky behind us along with small magic circles..

Quagagagagagagagagagaga

They began indiscriminately bombarding them with all kinds of bullets, including missiles made of 100% pure silver..

[[[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]]]

[[Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]]

The screams of those who were suddenly ambushed reverberate through the earth..

Soon enough, where they were standing, only molten silver was flowing like a river..

...Phew, before evolution, even a single silver bullet would kill him. After all, at this level, you have to do this much to die..

When I'm making a decision like that.

".....?"

I said with a grin to Stadus, who was looking at me with a very embarrassed expression..

"It's easy. Let's keep moving forward.."

"...no. As expected, you were the one who did it for me back then... It wasn't you.."

Stadus, who was about to say something like that, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and shook his head as if he couldn't stop him, and said that to me..

I don't know what that means, but let's just keep running..

Previously.

"Mr. Starders."

I paused for a moment, looked at her and said.

"...In front of this. Mr. Starders' abilities will be needed more than ever. Obviously."

okay. Now there is one final weapon left.

"When that time comes... I and everyone will help you. You must overcome this. No, you can win. Because I believe in you, and everyone believes in you.."

Even if you don't understand it now, you will understand it soon..

I told her that in advance. Let her cheer you up even just a little bit.

And when I said that, she.

"okay. I don't know what it is, but I'll give it a try. please."

He answered that coolly..

good night. Then let's go now.

towards the final battle.

"Now let's go up. up there!"

I said that as I looked up at the top of the tower that was now visible in front of me..

okay. Turn on the broadcast again.

Let's end this disaster quickly.

"Eunwol, you know?"

"yes brother."

With Eunwol looking more serious than ever and Stadus looking more determined..

we flew up.

Moonlight cult leader, to deal with him.

and. to end it all.

"...They knocked them all down and now they're coming up here."

"yes. I apologize. I'm trying to throw magic downwards, but it doesn't seem to have much effect...."

"Oh, it's okay. What do you think?."

They can't do anything if they come here anyway..

The moon gate has already opened. The disaster has begun. No matter what they do, Moonlight's advance cannot be stopped..

Rather, they come here like moths flying to kill themselves, so isn't that a good thing? This is my chance to tear it apart with my own hands..

"Come, their grave will be here anyway, won’t that be the end?..."

That's what Cheonyue Huang thought, tinged with arrogance..

"...."

Below that, the moon shaman whom he had ignored and abandoned. Baek Eunwol.

Without even knowing that he was approaching here, with his hands wrapped in a strange blue magic that he didn't even know about..
