A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard - A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard chapter 43

043. The Night Before

War between Dimensions. It’s not unusual, but most of them reacted in bewilderment to the sudden words.

“War… What does that mean all of a sudden?”

“Has that human finally gone senile…”

“It was time to change the chairman once in a while.”

Everyone added a word, and they were busy dismissing the sound from earlier as simply the chairman’s insolence. However, some already sensed something out of the ordinary and hardened their faces.

It was a reaction that came because he knew very well that he, who became the chairman, would never be a person who would spit out lies about things like this.

“Is that… true?”

“To be honest… Don’t say sh*t. What kind of war is a war out of nowhere?”

An attendee who does not hesitate to make harsh remarks criticizes the questioner. He was a person who was usually a gossip because of his frivolous behavior.

“I’ve never told a lie before.”

The chairman firmly expresses his position.

“Everyone has their first time. No, did you go crazy because you wanted to come down? Suddenly, what kind of war is war…”

Whether it is or not, the man who has always been frivolous is still sarcastic. The chairperson frowned at her, but as he had predicted that this would happen, he took out what he had prepared in advance.

“What is that?”

At the woman’s question, who was watching the situation in silence, the chairperson opened her mouth by placing it in the center of the round table as if everyone was showing off.

“Everyone please look at this. Everyone knows what this is.”

“…….”

“…Where have you seen it?”

“I can feel the aura… Can’t it?”

Since there were so many opposing Transcendentalists gathered, it was difficult to detect the very subtle energy unless it was intentional.

But, with that said… It was like saying that if you wanted to, you could easily recognize the energy contained in that thing that looked like a shard of a mirror.

“Destruction…?”

The muttering of an observer resonates pleasantly.

“Where else did you get that unpleasant thing from?”

Even the frivolous man was disgusted and asked the source of the ‘Destruction (滅亡)’ placed on her round table.

It wasn’t just him, everyone gathered here had a similar reaction. Even with a look of rejection on her face, she seemed curious about where that cursed thing had come from.

“I just found it at the place where I went yesterday.”

It was the chairman who showed a relatively calm attitude this time. When the intended reaction came out, he gave the answer he had prepared.

Destruction (滅亡) is a phenomenon that can not be known to those who have some level of knowledge about the dimension.

A phenomenon in which resentment that flows out when one dimension comes to an end is condensed.

Sometimes it plants seeds on top of the end and puts down thick roots.

The destruction that grew up like that will be like the tower that Endymion saw in the past, or it will change into a different form.

“This is the seed of destruction.”

What the chairman retrieved before the seed even took root was the destruction that is now on the round table.

“Would you believe me if I told you that this was brought from a world that was destroyed only yesterday?”

“It was destroyed yesterday…?”

“There are many worlds that are disappearing these days.”

“For what reason?”

It was only then that the observers began to question themselves.

The gossip spread quickly.

“This never happened before.”

“It shouldn’t have happened in the first place.”

That’s right, they know.

In this vast universe, of course, there are only one or two disappearing worlds….

Still, it was certainly strange that the number of worlds that had recently achieved a decent civilization and were about to perish was rapidly increasing in the depths of history.

Moreover… The piece of destruction brought by the chairman was even more serious.

“This… Why is it so resentful?”

“I think it was destroyed quite unfairly?”

The seed of destruction that is created by gathering the world’s resentment. It had different momentum depending on the reason for its destruction.

By the way, what the chairman brought now was too deep even if the resentment was thick.

As if….

“…As if someone was instigating you.”

Everyone shuts up at the muttering of a young man.

The chairperson must have decided that it was time to talk, so he leaned forward and opened his mouth.

“There are so many transcendents and gods in this universe that it’s easier to find those who aren’t… Than those who are associated with our Council.”

In a way, it was natural.

The explanation was given by a frivolous man.

“That’s right… they’re all small ponytails. We don’t seem to have fewer people with powers that can’t be compared to those guys.”

It was quite an arrogant statement, but at this moment, no one in attendance refuted the man’s words. Everyone heartily agreed. To say that they are the best.

But Chairman Man only shook his head.

“It’s an arrogant thought. How can you think that there is no one stronger than us in this vast universe?”

“That… Only this time, if the author is right, I’ve never actually seen anyone like that… And if he said that, didn’t he attend the meeting?”

A relatively young observer who speaks cautiously. He had just entered the meeting, and he had entered the meeting in the same way as he had said.

However, those who stayed at the meeting long enough to be considered elders would shake their heads.

“Not everyone was able to attend. No matter how strong they are, if they become a threat, they have been eliminated.”

‘Removal’ may sound particularly cold, but no one disputed it because it was a truth without a single lie.

What is the reason for the existence of this meeting in the first place? In the distant past, when this meeting was first formed, there were a few transcendentalists who united in the desire to protect the universe.

“We have removed without hesitation any factors that would cause chaos if they went against our cause. That has been our way up until now… And I have no doubt that it is the way to serve the greater good.”

Even now, that thought has not changed. The person who rejected that method in the first place wasn’t even here.

Because everyone resisted in their own way.

“But… Sometimes the power that I possess is so strong that it is frightening to see it as a single person’s power, and there are also risk factors that cannot be eliminated.”

Some of these may be unfamiliar to you. Because such risk factors are extremely rare. It’s right that it can be removed with the power of the Congress.

“So… Is this the Hazard’s doing?”

I thought it was quiet for some reason, but the frivolous man could not stand the bird and opened his mouth.

“Yes.”

The chairman did not particularly deny his words.

On the contrary, when he meekly affirmed it, there was a great stir.

“It may sound confusing, but… I have received information that an entity is exerting influence by uniting the forces of darkness and gradually collapsing the world.”

The existence has the appearance of a frail guru, and it is characterized by the fact that the color of pure white is prevalent from head to toe.

* * *

After the meeting, the dragon lord who was in it returned to the original world with a pensive face.

“I can’t believe it… Is it related to that child?”

She is also a high-level transcendentalist. So, it had been quite some time since she joined the meeting she had just attended, and now it was an annual meeting that would not be outdated even if she was called a former rookie.

The reason she was shaken during her meeting was when a major figure active in the dark forces came out.

“It is said that the old master is the leader, and a young man who looks like a white tiger follows him.”

No one knew who he was because he was called Baekho in the yard, even after hearing his general impression. However, as a dragon lord, she was the only one who was concerned about it, and she soon became convinced by the explanation that followed.

“They say he has a strange spell.”

When I asked what kind of witchcraft it was, the chairman told me what he knew… The Dragon Lord recalled a battle he had seen recently.

“Having an old dagger… Swing it mercilessly to cut the transcendental ones, la…”

If it were just that, it would have been treated as a normal risk factor, but his finish was terrible enough to alert everyone in the meeting.

-He retrieved the soul of the transcendent he had slashed and defeated.

No matter how transcendental and knowledgeable about dimensions… Most of them were ignorant about the soul.

I wasn’t ignorant because I wanted to be ignorant. It’s because it’s not something a person who has ever lived to study.

Of course, it is possible to dig into the soul to the extent of skimming the surface, but that’s all. The living never know the dead.

Even if they are called transcendental beings, they belong to the living beings who are not yet dead if they are divided into major categories. There are no exceptions. The laws of the universe made it so.

But….

‘I know.’

A person who belongs to the middle of life and death.

‘No… What do you mean by calling that a human?’

It’s already someone else’s.

“…I need to send Vesta.”

It looks like we’ll need Vesta to solve this. He kept his mouth shut during the meeting, fearing that he might do something wrong.

The Dragon Lord is what she knows. That this is not a problem she is at her level to solve.

‘If you solve it… ‘

Selene, that child will be able to solve it.

* * *

It was a pleasant feeling.

Now that I have obtained what I longed for and desired so much.

I see… How can you not feel good?

“Selene-sama…”

He whispers to me in a sweet voice.

I responded pleasantly.

“You’re using honorifics again.”

I decided to let it go until the end.

However, Endymion still used honorifics as if it was awkward, but he punished (?) Whenever he did so, so he was able to speak comfortably.

“We decided not to do this, did we?”

“…….”

No answer.

Selene frowned at the sight, then relaxed her expression.

“Yes…because I love you.”

Seeing Endymion bound limbs and tied to her chair, her useless arms and legs cut off, leaving only her torso, Selene said happily.

“Let’s be together forever…”

-… Lene!

-Sele… !!

“Selene!!!!”

Kwajik, if there is a sound of blood coming out, wouldn’t it be something like this. With that clear response, Selene awoke from her sweet dream.

“…It must have been a dream.”

Actually, even in my dream, I doubted that this was a dream. Because it was too sweet to be real. I couldn’t believe that I was given such happiness.

‘It wasn’t in the end.’

Endymion, who was looking at her lovingly, is nowhere to be found. Only her empty chair sat across from her couch, on which she sat.

Jureuk-

After returning to reality, Selene was momentarily unable to control herself due to the sudden surge of sadness, which was expressed as tears flowing down her cheeks.

“I… I was wrong…”

He left through his own fault. Selene had a deep sense of shame about that fact.

“I…If only I had done a little better…”

Should I have done it like it came out of a dream? No, now Selene knows too. That it was the wrong way.

‘When I come back, I won’t treat you like before… ‘

‘I’ll treat you even better than before if you just come back…’ ‘

It was all a futile idea.

How can I see him again when I don’t even know where he has already left?

He would have found Selene no matter what if they broke up due to unavoidable circumstances.

But this time it was his choice.

I wonder if it was a punishment for not understanding his deep heartache and being rigid even for a moment.

“…Please.”

The punishment is too long…. I just want you to come back So please….

‘Come back.’

“Selene!!! Please come out!!!”

“…….”

Then, Selene’s anger flares up once again at the sound of flying flies.

I was about to double the border of the mansion in case someone would come looking for it.

That’s why you can’t come in, so you’re doing that sh*t outside.

‘Shall I kill you… ?’

Selene seriously thought about it, as if she were left alone, she would be on a sit-in all day long. Driven to the edge of her precipice, she was on the verge of being unable to think normally.

‘To kill even accidentally… ‘

“I brought the news of Endymion!!!”

Beep-!

“…That’s fast.”

“That word…”

Selene held onto the doorknob, her sieve with her eyes wide open.

“Is it true…?”

With a promise to rip off that b*tch’s limbs if not, he cast teleportation magic into the front door.

* * *

“You’re the guy who’s been killing transcendentalists lately.”

A dark sky with ashes flying.

Two men faced each other in a confrontation.

“Why aren’t you talking? No… no, I’m going to die soon anyway so I don’t even have to answer.”

“You are good at answering questions.”

If you are going to speak alone and answer alone, what is my intention that comes out of your mouth? As Endymion looked at him with such an expression, the young man with impressive red hair narrowed his forehead.

“Why are you doing this?”

“What do you mean?”

“You are the ones who drove this place to ruin.”

“…….”

Endymion is silent for a while before asking.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Yeah… I didn’t expect common sense from you guys anyway-!”

Only ashes remained in the place where the tongue licked the fierce flames, the flames bursting out in an instant.

‘Have you done it?’

Strange, so easily? No… I can’t see him… ! Wherever-

“Looks like you’re done.”

Suddenly, a sound came from empty space. It wasn’t long before the young man’s gaze turned there, and Endymion appeared.

“That… What is it…?”

It contained a giant with a puzzled voice and shaky eyes that could be felt but not seen.

As if it had become invisible, its shape could not be discerned with the naked eye.

“Go back.”

Goblin’s Gamtu, when the goblin wearing it is ordered, the goblin’s gigantic goblin pops! I trudged through the door that appeared with a shout.

“You… Where did you come from-“

“Come back now.”

Endymion drew his sword. The young man, who had heard the vicious rumors before, was startled.

“Oops…!”

I just came to my senses and tried to defend myself- but it was all in vain anyway.

“…!”

It was a blink of an eye.

The young man looked down at my chest.

“Sir…”

At some point, the dagger turned into a long sword and pierced his chest. There was no time to moan from the throbbing pain.

His face contorts belatedly. His body’s strength gradually drains away.

‘This is… Isn’t that what I’ve only heard in words?’

Did he say it takes the soul? Anyway, this is too… Isn’t it futile… !

Hwaruk-!

“…To set yourself on fire?”

“I can’t hand over my soul to you!”

The young man spoke boldly and looked cheerful. He seemed to be filled with unfounded confidence that if he did this, his soul would not be taken away.

It wasn’t long before the young man disappeared leaving behind only ashes. If I left even a trace, I would have lost my soul, so I burned them all.

Standing there stunned, Endymion murmured.

“…You must have been satisfied.”

Even if it’s useless anyway. He waited patiently.

Shuuuk-!

The soul is sucked into the sword. It sounded like the screams of a young man were coming from somewhere.

———————!!!!!!

However, after sucking in the soul as if Endymion was used to it, he quickly turned around calmly.

Wait as long as possible, and finally absorb the soul of the dead opponent.

This was the maximum consideration he could give.
