Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 463
◈ 463. [Side Story] Everything Black (3)
The inside of the open door was filled with black thorns..
The entire inside of the palace looked like this. Damian shook his head as he looked inside..
“I can't go in like this.…….”
“Let's see.”
I reached inside. OK.
Sussssuk…….
The thorns touched by my hand all moved back and made a path..
Is it because I am also the guardian of the empire? It seems like they are opening the way because they sense your qualifications..
As I slowly entered, the thorns that had been blocking the way for me entwined themselves behind my back and blocked my path again..
“……I guess I'll have to go alone from here on out..”
I nodded to my colleagues who were looking at me with nervous faces..
“Guard the entrance carefully..”
After the situation is resolved, I have to get out of here. My colleagues will have to wait here for my return..
Wow-!
It was then. Fernández's troops began to arrive from all directions..
“I will wait for the prince's return..”
Damian shouted as he pulled out his magic gun and aimed it at the enemies..
“Have a safe trip!”
Kuilan and Verdandi also raised their weapons, and the Kraken roared menacingly, extending its tentacles and swinging at the enemies..
bang! Quaguagwang!
Although our numbers were overwhelmingly inferior, our combat power was, on the contrary, overwhelmingly superior. It was seen that the crowd of enemy soldiers was destroyed without difficulty..
It will hold up well until I return..
Believing so, I headed into the imperial palace..
Grumbling. Grumbling.
The thorn trees that completely covered the interior of the imperial palace made a snake-like sound and moved out of the way..
Even though it was covered with thorns, I had a general idea of the structure because I had been there before..
I walked along the long hallway.
Without stopping towards the destination.
How long did it take to walk like that? Eventually it started to appear.
The slightly open throne room door.
***
Sitting on the throne in the throne room, Fernandez quietly closed his eyes..
Thorn Tree - Because he was assimilated with Everblack, Fernandez had already sensed Ash's presence..
Fernandez chuckled as he felt the presence of his younger brother getting closer..
He was suddenly thinking.
Records of the long past that he and Ash fought together.
***
■■■■Before the episode.
It was when Fernández turned ten that letters appeared on his body..
The first sentence was engraved in the center of the chest. The content was like this.
- The world is repeating destruction.
The second sentence follows.
- I sacrifice my life to convey this to the next me..
A message from the destroyed self in the past to the self in the next..
And the third sentence.
- Ash returns. cooperate.
The transmission of the sentence was cut off there..
Ten- year-old Fernandez stood in front of the bathroom mirror, lost in thought. And he decided that the content of this sentence was true.
Not only was the writing his own... … Carving such bizarre content into my skin across time and space would have been something I couldn't have done if I wasn't on my own..
“Cooperate with Ash, you.…….”
Fernandez frowned as he looked in the mirror..
“……The kid is only six years old.”
Moreover, Larque liked it and played with Ash often, but Fernandez was somehow shy and had an awkward relationship with Ash..
There was clearly a psychological resistance between brothers who were different from each other, making it difficult for them to become close..
This is especially true for Fernandez, who is not a mindless muscle-brain like Lark but is quick to observe his surroundings..
But what should I do? I couldn't ignore the advice I gave myself in the past episode..
After adjusting his clothes and coming out of the bathroom, Fernandez called his eldest brother..
“Larque type!”
Larque, who was doing push-ups in the hallway, turned his head when he heard his brother's call..
“huh? What's wrong, Fernandez? Have you finally decided to train with your brother? good! Let’s start by running on the training ground together.?”
“Only older brothers can do that to their heart’s content… … Okay, let's go visit Ash..”
Larque's eyes were wide and he immediately straightened up, laughing loudly..
“Sigh, that would have happened a long time ago! Are you finally ready to become friends with Ash??”
“No, it's not like that.…….”
“To be ashamed. Brothers should be friendly with each other. Get ready to go out! I'll call a carriage.”
So the two brothers went out to their half-brother's villa..
The gazes of my mother and family members stabbed me in the back of my head, but what could I do? Fernandez was more concerned about the content of the message than that..
‘What exactly does it mean for Ash to be a regressor??’
So, Ash’s villa came to visit..
Amid the hospitality of the villa people, Fernandez hesitantly stood in front of Ash. It was still very awkward.
“Ash, you know what regression is.?”
“huh?”
Fernandez hinted at the idea of regression, but Ash just tilted his head with a genuine expression of ignorance..
“What is it?”
“So, maybe the world is repeating itself, you remember the past and…….”
“I don't know difficult words, bro.…….”
Ash, who was whining with a sour face, soon became bright and led Fernandez by holding his hand..
“That's enough, let's play! There's my secret base over here!”
“No, rather, the world… … Ugh.”
The three brothers rolled around and played together in the attic that Ash guided them to..
On this day's reconnaissance, Fernandez came to a conclusion:.
‘……He doesn't know anything?’
Ash was a cute little brother, but that was all. He cooperated and was of no help..
‘Well, there’s no telling us to cooperate right away… … For now, let me prepare for the future on my own..’
Still, starting from this day, the three brothers met often, played together, and became close friends..
One day after so many years.
Ash's mother, Empress Dustia, committed suicide..
Fernandez, who attended the funeral, noticed something unusual. Ash's mood had changed..
The friendly face was the same as usual, but Fernandez could tell because they had been friends for the past few years..
Ash's eyes suddenly deepened as if he had lived for decades..
Best of all, Ash didn't cry much..
As if I had experienced my mother's death several times..
The day Dustia was buried and the funeral was completed.
Ash, holding an umbrella in the rain, was wearing black mourning clothes and looking down at his mother's grave..
Fernandez slowly approached next to him and immediately asked:.
“I know. Ash, you're regressing.?”
“……?!”
A startled Ash looked back at Fernandez..
“How did you do that?……?”
“Now look.”
Fernandez unfastened the front of his clothes to show the letters engraved on his chest..
“This is the message I sent myself in the previous episode. They say you're a returner and I need you to cooperate..”
“……!”
“Now please explain. What does it mean that the world repeats destruction? What does it mean for you to be a regressor??”
Ash looked at Fernandez with puzzled eyes and slowly explained..
A world that repeats itself, you are chosen as a player, a world that will be destroyed no matter what you do.…….
It was an absurd story, but Fernandez silently raised his head and listened. and said.
“I'll cooperate with you, Ash..”
“……!”
“Although I don't have full memories of past episodes like you, I will still be able to assist you in future episodes. let's fight together.”
“brother…….”
Ash roughly rubbed his red eyes with the back of his hand and asked in a trembling voice..
“Really, you'll fight with me?”
“of course.”
Fernandez grinned..
“I am your older brother. Are you going to let your younger brother fight a lonely fight alone??”
Fernandez didn't know.
How comforting those words were to Ash..
To Ash, who continued his lonely fight in a repetitive world. What a blessing it was to have a trustworthy companion..
“Let's save the world together.”
“……huh!”
The brothers held each other's hands and shook hands firmly.
There was vivid hope on the faces of the two boys..
And dozens more rounds were repeated..
Still, the brothers could not prevent the destruction of the world.
***
bang!
Ash's hand grabbed Fernandez's collar and pushed him back..
This is in front of Dustia's grave..
It was Dustia's funeral, a new episode that started again. But there was a clear difference from the last episode..
slot.
Dustia originally committed suicide when Ash was in his late teens, but now Ash was in his mid-teens..
Instead of rain, snow was falling at the funeral scene. Ash growled, blowing out his white breath with anger in the pouring snow..
“It had to be this way?”
“…….”
“Answer me, bro! Should it have been this way?!”
“I just thought it would be better for you to return as soon as possible..”
Fernandez looked at Ash with a calm gaze..
“okay. So I killed your mother.”
Dustia was assassinated in this episode..
By the hands of Fernandez.
And at that moment, Ash regressed. What Fernandez was aiming for was Ashe's return..
“Admit it, Ash. Your mother has to die, at that point you regress.”
“…….”
“And you have to return as soon as possible so we can prepare for this round together..”
Ash closed his eyes tightly..
Fernandez was right. In order to proceed more efficiently, Dustia had to die as quickly as possible and Ash's return time had to be brought forward..
But, still…….
Burying my mother, who was brutally assassinated, was extremely painful..
“Why did I accept this damn player position?……!”
Ash chewed and spat out blood..
“It's to protect the people I love.……!”
Standing in front of Ash, Fernandez answered calmly..
“Me too, Ash. But if there are lives to be cut off along the way, I should cut them off without hesitation..”
“…….”
“What we have to save is the world. It's a bigger cause. You can't forget that..”
“……Yes, my brother was this kind of person..”
There was a sneer on Ash's lips..
“He pretends to be warmer than anyone else, but in reality... … A more cold-hearted person than anyone else.”
“Say whatever you like.”
Fernandez declared, lightly removing Ash's hand holding his collar..
“In the next round, I will kill your mother as soon as possible and bring you back..”
“…….”
“In order to prevent destruction, we will optimize the attack route. This is absolutely necessary, Ash..”
Fernandez continued towards his younger brother who lowered his head..
“Look big and wide, little brother. What we're trying to protect isn't your mother, who's dying anyway. Everyone in this world.”
“I know, I know! I know but…….”
Ash gritted his teeth and squeezed his chest with his hands..
“This… … It hurts so much…….”
Fernandez was outrageous..
Ash, this guy has regressed dozens, maybe hundreds more times..
Why am I still in pain over my mother's death?.
He seemed to be more distressed by the deaths of people than himself, who had only inherited the records..
***
The rounds were repeated..
Fernandez quickly optimized the progress of the episode based on past records..
I killed someone who needed to be killed, and saved someone who needed to be saved. Build an organization, raise funds, and raise an army..
Step by step, the strategy progressed slowly but steadily..
and at the same time.
Ash became more and more devastated and desolate..
The alliance between the two brothers was also strong... … It was slowly cracking..
