Black Badger - Chapter 330



Only Noblemtl

330. Dokmaek (2)

My nerves are burning.

Kairos fell to the ground in the wasteland and let out a muffled sound.

He couldn’t even open his eyes. The poison quickly ran through his nerves. It had settled behind his once healthy eyelids, and now Kairos was bleeding profusely from both eyes.

I can’t even get up.

He lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Even when I served the Fire Dragon, my body didn’t feel like it was burning this much.

I didn’t use poison at that time though.

Even when I used the poison pulse to temporarily subdue the brain dragon, my body didn’t seem to burn this much… .

“—!”

Someone was shouting at the bedside.

“—!! —!!”

{Poisonous.}

The shout that was probably the shooter’s was not heard clearly, but Dokmaek could be heard muttering something somewhere in his body.

{You really did it. What an incredible talent.}

3 seconds.

Kairos thought as he waited for the suffocating sensation to subside.

Three seconds was his limit. He couldn’t hold out any longer. If he had been stubborn and held on any longer, his nerves would have burst and he would have become a wreck.

Those 3 seconds were possible because there was a poison pulse.

If there had been no poison, he would not have been caught in the first place, and if it had not been this ‘old’ poison, he would have been irritated after just one second.

It was said that this was the result of raising the ministering ability of a mouse to its maximum level. 3 seconds.

My nerves are still not in good shape though.

{Anyway, it was delicious.}

I felt the poison dripping out of my eyelids.

{Goodbye, excellent one. I will never meet a host like you again.}

I don’t have the energy to respond to the monster that mutters and moves away.

Just thinking about the ruins was busy.

3 seconds, not even 5 seconds.

That’s enough, I’ve done the 3-second job.

Anyway, Kairos succeeded in dragging the upper half of the ghost through the portal.

It means that the spirit has stopped the portal device from being destroyed.

That alone… .

“jack!”

ah.

The shooter is crying.

“Shouldn’t you tell me what you did?”

Now I can hear the voice properly.

Amy was crouching at the bedside, looking down at his face, and crying loudly.

“Shouldn’t you have told me in advance!”

Tears fell down my cheeks.

“Why is it bleeding like this!”

It was nice to see the tears falling on my cheeks soothe the burning sensation.

I wondered if it was okay for me to just lie around like this when the spirit wasn’t even dead.

“What should I do? Jack, what should I do? I gave you a blood test, but I don’t know where to stop the bleeding. I don’t know why I’m bleeding!”

“… Command.”

“what?”

As Ganshin squeezed his throat and answered, Ami’s face came closer.

“What did you say?”

“… The ruins, the…”

I couldn’t open my eyes so I couldn’t see it visually.

I didn’t even have the courage to use my intuition.

You haven’t lost your abilities, but you’ll have to refrain from using them until your body recovers… .

“It got cut.”

Ami’s voice brought back my clouded consciousness.

I feel the senior’s small hand.

The shooter clutched his hand and sobbed.

“I destroyed the portal device when it was only halfway through its life. It was split in half. It’s not moving. I think it’s probably dead…”

oh my god.

Kairos was inwardly amazed.

Killing the ghost.

The problem that the emperor had been struggling with his entire life but had never been able to solve was solved like this. A small laugh escaped even amidst the terrible burning sensation.

When we were in the Empire, we were busy driving it into a pit. Every time another one was born, we trembled in fear, and we put up a cordon around it to avoid waking it up.

A being that was even reluctant to be called by name.

That can kill you too.

It was alive and breathing in some way.

Milk, who had slipped out of his pocket, licked his face and whined. I wanted to raise my hand and pat Milk’s head, but I didn’t have the energy.

Kairos was glad that it was a living being.

To be alive means to be able to die.

Even if there is no set lifespan… .

“jack!”

Ami’s voice became distant.

“Jack! Don’t sleep! Don’t sleep!”

Sorry, I’m so sleepy.

The muttering became a sound.

Kairos blinked and fell into pitch-black unconsciousness.

***

I looked at the doctor dumbly.

What is this… .

It was You who came to his senses.

“What does that mean?”

His face was pale.

“Who was injured beyond repair? Who is it? What happened to the spirit?”

“The spirit is dead.”

Samuel answered.

My compatriots and I had our jaws dropped at his calm answer.

What died?

The spirit is dead?

Can you kill it?

“It’s dead? Are you sure?”

“How did you kill him? I think they mistakenly reported him as sleeping on the road.”

“What about Kairos?”

I ignored Igor and You’s questions.

And then he asked again. Judging from how quiet Yoon was, it seemed like the medical helicopter had left because of Kairos rather than Ami. If Ami had been injured, Yoon wouldn’t have stayed still like this.

Samuel looked puzzled.

“who?”

“I mean, Jack Black.”

He spoke and made a futile attempt to feel for signs of his fellow countrymen.

It was literally a futile attempt. I couldn’t even sense the presence of the monster nearby. I must have absorbed it without any resistance, but my intuition didn’t recover.

It was not yet known whether the leaf veins had been permanently removed or if suction had become undetectable.

That doesn’t matter now.

I grabbed Samuel’s arm.

“Are you hurt?”

Samuel looked into my eyes quietly.

“Doctor. Is the artificial intelligence injured?”

“…Ami is fine.”

“What about Jack?”

He clearly told me that this wasn’t a final greeting or anything.

“It’s not like it’s life-threatening or anything, is it? Maybe some part of the body got blown away or something?”

“There is something wrong with his whole nervous system.”

Samuel cut me off from my rambling questions.

I wasn’t flustered or angry. Black Badger’s proud doctor looked me straight in the eye and explained it clearly.

“I think you’re on edge. I’m sorry. There’s nothing more I can do for you… Those who arrived by medical helicopter will be transporting you to the front of the portal.”

ah.

I warned you so… .

How many times have I told you not to try to force yourself in ministry?

Next to him, You made a faint groan. He seemed to have figured out the situation. Igor muttered a curse in the Imperial language.

I suppressed the rising frustration and fear.

“Are you alive?”

But there is still hope.

If he was still alive, I could have saved him.

“The DNA isn’t completely torn apart or anything?”

“okay.”

Samuel answered.

“I’m still alive. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold out….”

“Please let me go.”

I pushed the ground with my palm.

Samuel swore and Yoon squeezed my shoulder, but I ignored their reactions and struggled.

Ye-Hyeon raises her head in surprise, and Ricardo looks back at me with a frown.

I saw Ye-Hyeon.

“Commander.”

“Hey. Stop moving around without permission!”

“huh.”

“Please send it to Jack. As long as it’s not a lethal dose of radiation, I can treat it. As long as you’re still alive, you’ll be fine.”

You can do it by moving.

Even if the leaf veins were damaged, there was no problem with absorption and transfer.

I grabbed Yoon’s arm that was holding me down and sat up upside down.

“Inma, your wound is open! You have a fever right now!”

“Please.”

I looked into Ye-Hyeon’s eyes and pleaded.

“Take him to Jack. If he’s still breathing, I can save him. If not… . Let me at least say hello to him before it’s too late.”

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t absorb it? Can you transfer in this state?”

“You can do it. Now that you’ve completely stopped the rampage, you can do it.”

“Take Hilde to the helicopter.”

Yehyun didn’t hesitate.

I was so grateful for that.

Because I felt like I wasn’t going to waste a single second.

“Go to the portal.”

***

I pulled out the sword embedded in Hilde’s body and boarded the helicopter.

After boarding the medical helicopter, I headed to the location where the portal was located. It was the place where the retreating Badgers were gathering.

While flying there, Samuel Hahn devoted himself to treating Hilde, but by the time he arrived, the fever had not subsided.

The doctor cursed, saying my inflammation levels were too high.

But Hilde didn’t care. He couldn’t calm down. He was twitching and fidgeting the whole way, and the moment the helicopter started preparing for landing, he was ready to jump.

Yoon and Ricardo didn’t stop them.

To be exact, no one there stopped him. Rather, Igor, You, and Rose prepared to run outside with Hilde as soon as the helicopter landed.

How can you be angry at someone who wants to see his friend die?

“Do you have your own way of treating it?”

“yes.”

“I’ll pull out the needle now, so just stay still.”

The doctor took the ringer out of Hilde’s hand.

“If you can save him, save him.”

Hildebert nods.

Igor pushed open the helicopter door.

The wind blew inside the helicopter.

Hildebert jumped into the grass, the wind blowing hard. The wind created by the one who jumped hit the people’s skin.

Grass and clothes swaying in the wind created by the propeller.

At the rendezvous point, the badgers were gathered as planned.

The portal device is ready to operate. Badgers are on guard all around.

The wounded lie among those on guard.

They found Hilde and grew in size.

“Hildebert!”

“Taleb!”

“Kumbert!”

“Hilde!”

Hildebert did not respond to any calls.

I ignored him and ran. I even pushed away the person who approached me. He didn’t seem to hear the sounds flying here and there. His yellow gaze was fixed on one spot.

A place I couldn’t take my eyes off from the moment landing preparations began.

Hildebert slid to a stop beside the injured man.

“Hey, Hilde… .”

Jack Black lying on the floor.

Beside her, Ami was crying so hard that I was worried she would pass out.

“Jack….”

She couldn’t continue speaking properly.

“Jack… . Can you, can you move it… ? Then… . Then it might be better… .”

“yes.”

Hildebert answered, looking down at Jack absentmindedly.

“Then it will be okay.”

Jack Black looked like a mess.

Karl Dow, who had followed Hildebert, let out a sigh as soon as he checked the condition of the minister. There was a reason why Samuel Han had said that there was nothing he could do.

The rescue team was soaked with blood that Jack had shed. It was unclear exactly where the blood was coming from, but it was still flowing out, and there was dried blood on his long eyelashes. The blood flowing from his ears flowed down his neck.

This is miserable.

The moment she thought about it, Hilde collapsed on the grass.

He squeezed Jack’s hand tightly.

The other hand that wasn’t holding Jack’s hand was resting on the grass.

Zzzzzzzzzz

Black roots extending from the hand that touches the grass.

Carl blinked as he heard a strange noise tickling his ears.

It’s still bizarre no matter how many times I see it.

But this time, the suction wasn’t scary. Carl watched Hilde’s wounds heal. The Commander-in-Chief’s wounds had completely disappeared, and Jack Black’s bleeding stopped just as quickly as his wounds healed.

It is a recovery power that cannot be imitated even by a reinforced body.

The moment she thought that, Hilde let go of Jack’s hand as if it had been burned.

“jack!”

At the same time, Ami screamed her name.

“jack!”

The red-haired star driver opened his eyes.

The badgers who were watching the situation let out a sound of shock.

Carl took a deep breath and watched the man blink his orange eyes.

Until just a few minutes ago, it seemed like a miracle that he was still breathing.

Now Jack Black was slowly raising his upper body.

A driver sitting up and rolling his eyes.

He soon found Hilde within arm’s reach.

“Hilde.”

The minister laughed.

“You came back safely.”

“What did you do?”

Hilde didn’t listen to Jack.

To be exact, it seemed like I couldn’t hear it.

The successor to Geum-an gripped Jack’s shoulder tightly.

“Tell me. How did you kill the spirit? Why did you die like this?”

“I didn’t kill him.”

Jack answered coolly, perhaps not understanding the situation.

“Ami broke the portal device when the spirit was halfway through it.”

ah.

A small exclamation escaped Karl’s mouth.

There was such a way.

Others seemed to be impressed by Ami’s response as well. A small exclamation escaped from the mouth of the rescue team standing nearby.

Hildemann didn’t react.

The golden eyes that do not leave Jack, who is soaked in blood.

Jack smiled faintly and added an explanation.

“And then I used my poison to make the spirit pass through the portal device after 3 seconds.”

Hilde’s jaw dropped.

It was the first time Karl had seen his successor’s golden eyes open so wide. He was so surprised that he seemed to have lost his voice.

Jack smiled awkwardly as he looked into Hilde’s eyes, which did not seem to shrink.

“The portal device was on the verge of being destroyed by the spirit’s cannon. If that happens, I have no confidence in putting the spirit to rest.”

“… … .”

“It got a bit too much because he kept getting more and more violent. Even though it only lasted for three seconds, I was able to somehow handle it. The poison made a coil in my left eye, but luckily it didn’t gouge out my eyeball.”

“… … .”

“Even though I lost my eyesight.”

The celebrity from Center Core calmly finished his explanation and tilted his upper body towards Hilde.

In contrast to the wide open yellow eyes, the orange eyes were narrow.

The shape of the eyes that appears when observing something closely.

“By the way, Hilde.”

He reached out to Hilde.

“you….”

Phew!

A dull sound echoed across the meadow.

The rescue team swallows their breath.

Seniors turn their heads in surprise.

Amy hiccuping.

Everyone looked at Hildebert, who was clenching his fists with a surprised look on his face.

Jack’s right cheek was also swollen and red.

Hildebert’s fist flew away without anyone noticing.

“This kid.”

The one who suddenly threw the punch spat out the words.

In a tone I’m hearing for the first time.

“Are you crazy?”
