After Saving the Villains, They Became Obsessed With Me

97. Promise

It was like a forest fire.

All the trees are on fire, the fire is moving again, and the smoke is terrifying.

If there is anything different from an ordinary wildfire…

Kihehehe!!

That there are screams that I don’t want to hear enough to tear my ears from all over the place.

However, Gu Seol-hwa’s interest was not in the tree.

“Ho, maybe—”

“Gu Yun-hwa.”

The fire went out in Gu Yun-hwa’s body.

In order to talk for a while, he released his ability.

“It’s Gu Yun-hwa now.”

“Ah…”

“Why are you here?”

It was a cold gaze.

A temperature that is difficult to think of as a family.

“Your sister is a villain. Why are you here,”

Gu Seol-hwa said nothing.

I couldn’t.

Perhaps because of the shock, even though she wanted to say something, her voice didn’t come out.

She’s just staring blankly with her mouth open.

Meanwhile, the wound opened and the bleeding intensified.

‘That means…’

I mean I knew it.

Her own presence.

She said that she never came.

“······· Tsk.”

Gu Yunhua clicked her tongue and turned around again.

In order to have a conversation, the situation must end.

The wounds from verbalization seem serious, so let’s end it as soon as possible.

White flames gathered in her hands like swirls.

As you can see at this point, this isn’t just fire.

Hwaaa─

A fire with free temperature control.

The color of the white fire has changed little by little.

White is bluish white.

Blue and white are blue.

Most of the trees nearby are dead. Not sure if it touches the fire and doesn’t move.

So all that’s left is those huge trees.

“How to handle… ….”

It’s not difficult to just sweep it away.

It’s okay to push it to the ignorant range and to the ignorant temperature.

The problem is that this is a place where you never know when and where a monster will pop out.

The less power you save, the better.

Having made a decision, Gu Yunhua clenched his fists, and only extended his index finger and thumb.

The shape of a hand-made gun.

The swirling flames were compressed only on the index finger.

I aimed and shot the flames that were shining brighter than before.

The blue light that went in a straight line penetrated the tree, and the fire spread instantly from the penetrating point, completely burning the tree.

The one remaining tree met the same fate.

This is Gu Yun-hwa’s ability.

Body strengthening and fire.

High-speed movement and an ability that is the exact opposite of ice.

“Hmm.”

When the situation was over, Gu Yun-hwa lightly snapped her fingers.

Perfect! There was a loud noise and all the lights went out.

“·······.”

Gu Seol-hwa was still shocked.

Blood is flowing, but it doesn’t even stop.

Annoyed, Gu Yun-hwa strode closer.

Looking closer, I could see not only blood, but also tears.

“Why are you crying and fucking?”

She took off her outerwear with an open expression of annoyance.

Then she roughly tied it tightly around the wound. Her waist was so thin that the bleeding stopped.

“Oh, it hurts…”

“What? Being sick is better than dying.”

She deliberately treats her coldly, but Gu Yun-hwa does not dislike Gu tales.

She was just disappointed that she became the villain.

I wondered if she had no intention of finding herself.

‘I searched really hard.’

She made a deal with the president of the association.

If I become a hero, I will do everything in my power to find my sister.

She said that she really worked hard and became a hero.

The president of the association kept his promise.

By the time Gu Yun-Hwa became her official hero, she brought the news of Gu Tale.

─Is this… Real?

At that time, I couldn’t sleep for days.

The crime committed by her biological sister was horrific.

She showed no intention of finding herself in the crime.

She has been avoiding her since that day.

The scene where Just was implicated was entrusted to other heroes as much as possible, and when I had to go there, I made sure that there was no gossip.

It’s always been that way.

‘I did…’

We met because of Lee Yoo-hyun.

Looking at the reaction, I know it was a misunderstanding.

‘Well, my older sister has a bad brain.’

Gu Yunhua carefully held out her hand.

“Catch it.”

“Why?”

“Quickly!”

“Huh? Huh!”

Gusulhwa hurriedly holding hands. Gu Yun-hwa pulled up slightly.

In the past, I only got beaten up, but seeing my weakened appearance makes me feel a bit sad.

“Why are you a villain?”

“・・・・・・Huh?”

“You weren’t looking for me, were you?”

“Ah, yes. That’s right. I wanted to find you, so I did this and that…”

The narration was said in a crawling voice.

“Continuing to be deceived… And getting farther away…”

“Is that so?”

Support the narrative and move to another place.

The place is where Lee Yu-hyun is.

“To be honest, I don’t understand at all, do you?”

“·······.”

“You have to go to the police station to find a missing person, why do you become a villain?”

“·······.”

“Still, my sister can’t lie.”

“······· Huh?”

“You should trust the older sister I used to know.”

Disappointed things still haven’t been resolved.

If you ask me if I like or dislike oral language, I can give you a clear answer. Hate.

But these days I used to dream.

Siblings bicker with each other every day, sometimes they fight violently, and sometimes they protect each other.

A dream of regaining such a lost daily life.

Every time I felt like crying, I thought about going to see my sister.

‘Something… I feel like things have finally been untangled.’

If I had visited earlier, wouldn’t we have faced each other in a better situation?

“I have to deal with the rest first.”

“・・・・・・Yes.”

The state of verbalization was not worse than I thought.

Since the tree branches did not dig deeply, their lives were not in danger.

Lee Yoo-hyeon is said to have the ability to heal, so let’s just get treatment. And defeat the king or something together.

“Let’s go.”

I wanted to finish it as soon as possible.

Because I was willing to talk at most.

***

“A role.”

The king smiled happily.

“Good. I will gladly accept the role you have chosen.”

The king probably enjoys fighting.

I don’t know if it was originally like that. Maybe that monster was originally normal.

Because if you’re locked up for a long time, you usually turn around.

“・・・・・・Isn’t that so?”

[ There are 10 minutes left until the end of ‘Dongguijin’. ]

Come to think of it, if it was normal, I wouldn’t have been trapped in the first place.

“You’re thinking useless thoughts again.”

“I know. I was looking at you.”

“Provocation sucks.”

“…… It’s not a provocation.”

10 Minutes left.

I kicked the ground and ran.

Koo!

One crash.

The king was slightly pushed.

“・・・・・・Hmm.”

The ‘power’ that the system refers to is quite abstract.

It can be ‘muscular strength’ that is normally thought of, or ‘psychic strength’ that uses abilities.

So, what is the power that I converted into Dongguijin?

I don’t know either.

Right now, I was just full of energy.

He stretched out his hand and touched the king’s forehead. He grabbed hold of it, hooked his legs and stamped his head on the floor.

A crater with a diameter of about 5 meters was formed.

I slam my fist into that pit where a small meteorite fell.

It hit the king’s head, and the crater went deeper.

“Heuk…”

A small moan.

When the dust cleared, I saw the king’s bloodied face.

Gureuk.

Gurreuk.

I recovered with a strange sound, but I confirmed my strength.

“That’s strange. How is this possible?”

“What?”

“······Yes, it’s not important.”

This time the king attacked.

He hit my abdomen with his foot and launched me into the air, then fired a strange beam of light.

Since it was in the air, there was no other way than defense.

A strong shock came through the whole body.

It hurt, but it was bearable.

During the fall, I got my balance and thanks to that I was able to land properly.

“It holds up well.”

The king’s spirit was stronger than before.

I’m still nervous, but my reaction was different.

Right now I feel like I can do ‘anything’.

The king stretched out his fist fiercely, and I caught his fist with one hand.

The surrounding trees swayed. There was such a strong wind pressure.

“Doesn’t it hurt?”

“It hurts. Next time I’ll catch it with both hands.”

[ There are 7 minutes left until the end of ‘Dongguijin’. ]

It’s already been 3 minutes.

After all, time flies too fast.

I clenched my fist.

It was the hand wearing the Dawning.

“Huh!”

He swung his fist with spirit.

[ Skill. Use ‘anger’. ]

My field of vision narrowed and my strength increased.

Quaang!

Quaang!

Kwaaang!

Now that powerful power is given, the combat method has become infinitely simpler.

Even if you get hit, it doesn’t hurt that much, so you don’t dodge, and you don’t have to dodge, so you can focus on your strength.

“Ha ha ha! You are filthy ignorant!”

The flesh that touched my fist was crushed. That unpleasant sensation became clearer the more we fought.

They didn’t avoid each other, they only exchanged fists.

“Okay, I can see it! Did you receive that power at the cost of your life?”

“You don’t know.”

Blood splatters.

The pain spread.

“Cheup.”

The one who reached the limit first, damn it, was me.

[ Use the skill, ‘Destruction’. ]

I tried mixing different skills and attacking vital points.

Superiority in strength, superiority in speed, superiority in tenacity.

But it was me who was getting more scars.

Because the king continued to regenerate no matter how injured he was.

When the regeneration of the king finally stopped, I was already unable to fight.

“Is this the end?”

“·······.”

[ There is 1 minute left until the end of ‘Dongguijin’. ]

After all, you can’t do a boss battle alone.

I sighed.

“Whoa…”

My heart ached.

Well, it wasn’t an emotional expression, it was really painful.

It looks like his ribs stabbed his lungs while fighting.

“It’s not over yet.”

[ The skill, ‘Dong-Gwi-Eun’ ends. ]

Suddenly, I had this thought.

The system seems to force me to sacrifice.

It was a reasonable doubt.

This quest has no mention of a skill called ‘together with each other’ and survival.

The reward of the main quest is ‘return to reality’.

Sacrifice and return.

Isn’t that the ending that the system forces?

“Now is the beginning.”

[ You will die soon. ]

Actually, it wasn’t that important.

Because I’m just struggling towards the ending I want.

[ Activate the skill, ‘Resurrection’. ]

[ You are not completely dead. ]

[ Unable to use skill. ]

But I was convinced that the system was forcing my death.

However, death does not necessarily lead to sacrifice.

[ Sync to the first life. ]

[ Synchronization rate – 50% ]

[ Temporarily acquire the skill, ‘Trade’. ]

“What else are you trying to do?”

The king came to me.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t wait this long.”

Of course.

It started not playing, so I need to stop it.

He wouldn’t want to die either.

The king spread his hands straight out.

“Don’t avoid it. It will only hurt more.”

The fingernails grew longer, and a strange aura covered them.

If you get stabbed by something like that, you will surely die.

Since his death had already been confirmed, he wasn’t particularly scared.

[ Disable the skill, ‘Life’. ]

“Goodbye.”

The king stabbed my chest with his hand.

The sharp pain that pierced the heart spread.

It hurt enough to make me want to scream, but it didn’t come out again.

[ You are dead. ]

“I won the bet.”

Just before I lost my consciousness, I heard that.

“I will revive you as a monster soon. Keep your promise.”

I answered inwardly.

‘It’s not over yet.’

[ The skill, ‘Resurrection’ is activated. ]

[ There are 20 minutes left until resurrection. ]

I listen to system messages even after I die.

This is proof that consciousness remains even during the waiting time for resurrection.

‘······ Then, let’s try it.’

My first life was as a merchant.

A merchant who mainly sells weapons. The source of the ‘Artifact Summon’ is also this first life.

And all merchants trade.

[ Activate the skill, ‘Trade’. ]

[ Select an option for the transaction. ]

[You have selected ‘Skill Activation Time’. ]

[ Choose a price. ]

[ I chose ‘Third Life’ and ‘Eighth Life’. ]

These two relatively useless lives.

I dedicate this life ‘itself’.

[Skip the activation time of the skill, ‘Resurrection’. ]

My memory is a bit out of my head.

It was a memory of how I lived those lives.

It wasn’t a waste.

Because now I can win.

[ You are resurrected. ]

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the King, who had reached out to me, hesitate.

There were no scars left on my body.

“How.”

The king withdrew with a wary gesture.

[ Activates the special option of the artifact, ‘Dawn’. ]

Intense light gathering in the gauntlet.

I know the special options of the dawn because I used them the other day.

Returning all damage received while a battle is in progress.

And now my body has accumulated damage that amounts to ‘death’.

“Why are you still alive? Did you use a strange number again?”

Of course, no matter how strong the attack is, avoiding it is enough.

I’m weak after the end of Dongguijin, but he’s the same.

If you attack recklessly, there is probably no chance that it will hit.

The situation has not changed at all.

“Even so, I am alone. Just give up.”

That statement is not wrong.

But it’s enough to change the situation.

“Okay.”

I did that earlier.

After all, I can’t do a boss battle alone.

“There are some things I realized after living ‘a lot’.”

If it is difficult alone, you can do it together.

Cheerureuk.

The ‘chain’ protruding from my back wrapped around the king’s body.

“What is it?”

What I realized.

Promises are meant to be broken.

The game is over when you win.

“…… You’re breaking your promise.”

“I know.”

From now on, it will not be 1v1.
