A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 408
EP.408 - After the raid
pitch black darkness.
In that pitch-black darkness, I was asleep..
Next to the burning embers, as if they will soon be extinguished.
The flame is burning precariously, as if the end is not far away..
How long can that flame burn like that?.
How long can I maintain the faint light?.
I felt like I was thinking something like that in a daze..
and.
Slowly, it's time to wake up.
Maybe I heard that voice.
***
"...bar. brother? Oh...what happened?"
"...person? Dyne. You... over there."
"Here... bring it in! red...."
Ugh. what is this sound.
Somewhere I can't even guess.
...Somehow, I felt like I was in a deep sleep, but I woke up feeling dizzy due to loud noises coming from around me..
"uh!!! My brother woke up!!"
When I opened my eyes with difficulty feeling that bright light, the only thing I saw was.
"Ego stick!! Ugh, you finally woke up..."
"...I said it. Egostick will happen."
"brother!!! Ugh. Thank goodness, huh. I'm glad..."
"Mr. Dain... you're awake. Is your body okay?"
Starders standing next to me crying and holding my hand.
...Celeste has an indifferent expression, but looks noticeably relieved..
Seo-eun crying on my chest while looking at me.
Subin is looking at me with a tired expression full of dark circles..
"Dain oppa. Finally... I'm so, so glad.."
"Damn, you finally woke up. I... I knew I couldn't wake up, dude...."
Hayul is smiling faintly at me with a similarly tired expression..
...And, it was Choi Se-hee who was looking down at me with an angry face and crying..
"Everyone, what is this... Ugh."
Looking up at them like that, I tried to get up, but the intense pain I felt in my body made me lie down again..
"brother! Don’t overexert yourself and don’t move your body! Doctor, when is the doctor coming??"
"Egostick... I'm so glad, huh."
Lying in bed like that, looking at the white walls and the people's expressions, I finally remembered..
ah. I fell down.
"...Patient, you woke up? Let's see!"
After that, I closed my eyes as I heard the doctors rushing in..
...Apparently, there were a lot of things to listen to..
***
"...what? It's been a week since I collapsed?"
"That's right."
since i woke up.
After a brief examination by the doctors, I was assessed as being fine, except that I was a little weak..
And the most shocking thing I heard was that I was down for a week..
They say that after I vomited blood and collapsed, I couldn't wake up no matter what I did, so there was an uproar for a while..
...In particular, I don't know how it was leaked, but this information was leaked outside and Korea was in an uproar..
Of course, that wasn't what I was curious about..
"...The angels are all gone?"
"huh. After I killed the guy who seemed to be their king, they all turned into light and disappeared.."
What happened to the large-scale attack by angels?.
Fortunately, it is said that when Stardust caught their boss, who looked like a white Buddha statue, everyone burst into light and disappeared..
Because it was a surprise air raid, everyone suffered significant damage... but it's fortunate that it ended at that level..
For reference, this is the one-line comment about the monster that resembles a white Buddha statue that Seoeun showed me:.
"...hmm."
Who the hell is this guy??
Even I, who can be called a true reader who almost memorized the original, was a person whose identity I couldn't figure out..
...It resembles Buddha. It is understandable because the setting of this world is said to be that all religions were influenced by the three gods of the sun, moon, and stars..
But that doesn't mean I saw this guy in the original..
"...."
So, of course, this was an issue that gave me deep concern..
An all-out attack by angels that wasn't in the original work..
...And, a new monster of the sun god that wasn't in the original..
Obviously, things were going differently from the original..
Just one thing I'm curious about.
'...This happens?'
as soon as. How did you do it?.
As far as I know, in the original work, the sun god had already attacked using the limit of his power..
That's why he was able to be defeated by Stardust in the ending scene..
...Of course, the world had already been destroyed, so the sun god was actually victorious..
'In any case, in the original work, the sun god did not disappear, but rather used up almost all of his power and disappeared....'
Of course, it was actually defeated, but anyway.
Clearly, in the original work, when the sun god admitted defeat and stepped down, it was said that he continued to use his power to its limit..
In other words, if it was possible to do this, it was done this way in the original work..
'Of course, since the angels' airstrikes had stopped for a while, you might think that they gathered their strength and attacked at once....'
Actually, everyone was thinking that way now..
...I, who knew the original work, had a different opinion..
Save your strength, gather it, and release it to this extent.?
no. Now, this wasn't the intensity of an air raid that could be said to have gathered strength over a few days. It was clearly an offensive that surpassed the original..
Perhaps, the number of angels who came at once was greater than the number of angels who would have come consistently during this period as in the original work. The Great King Bucheonsa also looked really strong..
Then how on earth did the sun god generate power beyond his limits?.
...Is there something different from the original? Have you hidden your strength? Because someone else applied? or not...
That was when I was sitting on the bed in the hospital room with a serious look on my face, thinking about questions without answers..
"...Mr. Dain. I'm thinking about work again now?"
That stern voice I heard at that time.
I was awakened from my thoughts by that voice, and when I raised my head, Mr. Subin, who had a rare stern expression on his face, was coming towards me and saying those words..
"...No. The patient needs to rest. ruler. Don't think about anything, lie down in bed."
"Uh, wait a minute..."
"Quickly."
I was forced to lie down on the hospital bed again by Soobin, who so kindly pushed my shoulder..
...From what I heard, Subin took care of me all day long for a week while I was down..
Maybe that's why it was difficult to disobey Soobin's words..
Finally, as I leaned back on the soft bed, a voice of agreement came from next to me..
"...Soobin Lee is right. The patient needs to rest."
On the chair next to my pillow, Stadus was sitting and nodding..
Did I mention that he kept coming for a day, except when he was doing hero work while I was down?.
I felt a little sorry for worrying everyone so much. Especially since there are so many people relying on me..
"Other people say they come right after work.."
Anyway, when I lay down on the bed like that, Seo-eun said that while still tapping away at her smartphone with her red eyes..
"Hmm. If the ego stick is better, you should come right away. I don't know what I'm doing."
And as if she didn't like that, Celeste muttered in her saintly clothes with her arms crossed..
As I looked at her like that, I instantly realized something..
...Come to think of it, everyone is gathered in one place now.?
Starthers sitting next to me and massaging my arm..
Celeste standing next to her, and Seo-eun and Subin in the front. And even Hayul dozing off in the chair in front..
For reference, Hayul tried to treat me as best as he could using his healing ability, but it didn't work at all and he had a hard time. But thanks to that, I can't see the trauma..
Anyway, seeing them so naturally attached to each other gave me hope. Did everyone become close while I was down??
"Mr. Dain. Mr. Dain, even though he looks fine on the outside, he is not on the inside. I can guarantee that, having been around for the past few years.."
"...Strange emphasis has been placed over the years.?"
"under. What is the use of what I have seen over the years? What matters is how close you were recently.."
"yes. That is correct. But it is true that I have been living in the same house with Dain longer than you all. haha."
...is not it?
I broke into a sweat as I watched Soobin answer with a grin. ...right. Subin, she didn't have the personality to lose anywhere..
...Still, although they were glaring at each other with fire in their eyes, it certainly seemed like everyone was closer than before. In the end, as the physical distance becomes closer, the psychological distance also becomes closer. If we get to know each other step by step like this, everyone will live well without me..
While I was thinking about this, Seo-eun put down her phone and opened her mouth..
"...Anything goes. Brother, stop thinking about the world for a moment and talk about your body. What powers did you use? There was something like a black spider web flying around.."
"ah."
Because it happened that day.
As Seo-eun said, I quietly thought about the day when we were bombed..
...First of all, the attack itself was definitely unlucky..
In just three minutes, especially when there are no heroes nearby. It happened so quickly.
Still, only a few minutes after I fell, another hero came to save us, but it was already over..
...Of course, it was also my fault for being unprepared..
First of all, I was caught off guard due to the existence of teleportation. Even if the angel floats, all it takes is a teleportation and that's it..
And in all other situations, I just had to summon Halo, my bodyguard, or deal with Behemoth. The problem is that when Halo contacts the angels, he never summons them in front of the angels because he doesn't know what will happen to Halo, who was the leader of the angels in the original. Relativity doesn't help much..
Anyway, in that situation, I reached out to use my telekinesis to save Seo-eun and Soobin..
...For some reason, instead of telekinesis, black light came out of my body..
Last time, on the day I heard Stardust's sincerity, I was sure to see a black light before..
...Is this my new power awakened in preparation for the sun god?.
but.
'......'
The feeling I felt when using my ability, as if my vitality was speeding up in real time..
When I thought about it, it felt quite... dangerous..
Especially since it was all over and I also vomited out black blood. It is said that the amount was unusual. I really thought I was going to die too.
Still, isn't it a good thing that I gained new powers anyway? I think there will be a lot more to write about in the future.!
I condensed this and summarized it for the people in front of me..
Soon after I finished speaking.
"....."
There was silence for a moment, and then Seoeun muttered with dead eyes..
"brother. From now on, don't leave this hospital until the sun god comes.."
why not?
When I protested as if it was absurd, rather than denying it, the women behind me nodded..
...It was really unfair.
Just like that, against my will.
i am locked up.
