Black Badger - Chapter 408



Only Noblemtl

408. 50 years (1)

One eye was completely blackened, and the other was partially burned away.

Cecil bent down and my face came closer.

She wiped the soot off my cheek with her hand. After pushing my hair away, she spread her hands wide above me.

‘no.’

Cecil’s voice was heard.

‘I won’t let you die. I can cure you.’

A white light formed beneath the wizard’s palm.

The whites of my eyes, which had been blackened, began to slowly regain their color. It was like wiping off porcelain that had turned black with charcoal.

But even during that time, I didn’t make eye contact with Cecil.

Without even looking at the wizard who was trying to heal me, my past self blankly looked up at the sky.

Then he said.

‘Ray is dead.’

ah.

‘You seem to have hesitated after seeing my sword.’

Kwaaaaang!

Bounced away from the past.

I rolled around on the cracked ground. When my speed slowed down a bit, I stuck my sword into the ground to use it as a brake.

Kagagagagaga! The road splits into zigzags with a sharp sound.

It stopped.

A faint wisp of ashen smoke.

When I raised my head, I saw people being thrown in all directions.

A quiet space where the attacks have stopped.

Cecil covered his face with both hands and muttered something incomprehensible.

Igor and Shu were lying on the ground. They were pushed far away from the flowers, their bodies twisting in pain and their hands writhing.

Fortunately, You seemed to have moved to the back of the building before being swept away by the shockwave.

The servant with his eyes closed and still, and You holding him on her lap.

The bookseller looked at me with a shocked face.

He must have seen fragments of the past too.

The black eyes shook.

I was already really angry because I thought he had chosen death voluntarily.

The usual cynicism is nowhere to be found.

You looked at me with a terribly hurt face.

Sorry.

I wanted to say that, but it wasn’t the time.

I turned my gaze to Cecil.

A confused wizard.

“Cecil!”

He spat out the blood that had flowed back and ran towards the flowers.

It gives me hope to see you so confused every time a memory pops up.

If you keep searching through her memories, she might come to her senses.

I crossed the ruins.

“it’s me!”

In the empire, they used honorifics towards her.

Oddly enough, I didn’t feel like using honorifics right now.

“Wake up!”

My body started complaining.

My burst intestines screamed at me to stop moving. My head started to split open, perhaps because I was confronted with memories I didn’t even know existed.

I ignored those feelings and ran.

He caught her again.

White arms stained with blood.

“Cecil, please….”

I tried to pluck her from the flower.

“Look at me.”

Cecil’s body flinched.

“The rampage can be stopped. You know that.”

But the past came rushing back as if it were complaining.

The wizard’s memories cover your vision.

The ash-gray world unfolded again.

‘What are you?’

But this time, it wasn’t me who appeared before my eyes.

It was no one. It was someone I was seeing for the first time.

I couldn’t even tell if it was a person, because it looked like it was barely resembling a human form.

It looks like it’s proving the uncanny valley theory for real.

It came traversing the ashen world, tilting its head.

‘It’s been a while since I came back, and there’s someone I haven’t seen before?’

It had a face that looked like it was made by combining three or four people.

Like a Picasso painting, one eye, nose, and mouth did not match the other eye.

Their skin colors and races were all different. Blue eyes and deep eye holes. Black eyes and long eyes without double eyelids. High, pretty noses. Big, bright red mouths.

‘Did I fall off the wrong plane while dimensionally traveling?’

Something unknown sat down on the ruins in front of Cecil.

‘How long have you been here?’

It was bizarre to see the eyes, nose, and mouth, which did not match, smiling at the same time.

‘It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since you’re still of sound mind.’

Cecil didn’t answer, seeming frightened, but the other person didn’t care.

Looks like you’re in a good mood.

‘Anyway, you’re lucky. You met me in a good mood so late.’

It reached out and grabbed Cecil’s arm.

‘I’ll tell you where I’m going. Let’s go.’

Cecil resisted.

‘no.’

She pulled back as if trying not to be dragged away.

‘Don’t go. There’s someone waiting.’

The man who had been pulling her stopped moving.

The being, which resembled a collection of mosaics, looked at Cecil with an expressionless face.

‘We might get mixed up.’

Either way, Cecil said what he wanted to say.

‘If I can’t go back to my original world, I’ll just stay here. But what are you? Where did you come from?’

‘I have to wait? Who?’

The one who grabbed his arm asked back.

The voice he was spitting out was different from the one just before. It was as if he had re-used his vocal cords in the meantime.

‘It seems like a stupid choice. If you stay here too long, people will go crazy.’

As he said that, he suddenly laughed heartily.

‘In this world, the only things that have color are the fragments of memories that have flowed in! If you look into other people’s memories to regain your vitality, you will soon forget who you are!’

It was a horrifying sight.

‘And then you end up forgetting what you were!’

The laughter rose and fell.

‘Even your name!’

Kwaaang!

A body that bounces and flies away.

This time, I was prepared so it wasn’t as shocking.

I rolled on the floor while performing a fall technique and got up. I quickly adjusted to the sudden change in perspective.

We’re back to square one.

But I must say it was worth it.

Cecil was mumbling words that he could understand for the first time.

“no.”

The whites of the eyes have turned black and the golden eyes have become swollen.

“I won’t forget myself….”

It seems like it’s in the memory I just saw.

A tangled strand of silver hair tangled between our fingers, and the wind blasting from the flowers continued to push us away.

“I said I would definitely come find you….”

“I’ll keep going until I come to my senses.”

Sugar was caught in sight.

When on earth did you come to your senses and crawl all the way there?

The senior climbed up onto the flower, not paying any attention to my frightened state.

“Get out of there, Cecil!”

Sugar stretched out his hand and shouted.

“Cecil!”

“I’m not going!!”

Paaang!

Cecil threw back his head and went berserk.

There was a sound like a layer of air bursting out. The air was rushing out with a force.

I quickly stabbed my sword into the ground and ducked.

Kwaaaaang!

I withstood the pressure that passed over my body.

But there were some who couldn’t do that.

“Catch him!”

When I raised my head, I saw my senior being pushed into the sky.

The sugar spell hit him directly and he was blown into the air.

“Igor!”

Youga shouted.

I was about to shout, but then I closed my mouth.

Igor was already galloping through the ruins.

A subordinate running to catch a person who fell while throwing away his sword.

But the distance difference was too big.

no.

be far.

My stomach sank. I knew that my subordinate would be a few seconds behind. If he continued to fall at this rate, Igor would never be able to catch Shu.

There is no structure to hold onto, no hoverboard… .

I searched desperately for an alternative, but no suitable solution was found.

I was too far away. Igor was late to leave. Kairos was unconscious, and the flying creature to serve was nowhere to be seen.

There is absolutely no way to get it….

ah.

“Got it!”

A black line suddenly appearing in the air.

A clear cry shook the sky.

“I got it!”

army.

There was an army in the air.

The breath I had been holding burst out. I saw black boots spitting fire in the sky.

Igor, who had been running, stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky. You, who was holding Kairos behind the building, opened her mouth wide.

A war hero floating in the sky.

Ami raised her head after checking Shu’s condition.

“I’ll take care of the shoes!”

It looks like a black dot from a distance.

“Don’t worry, I’ll run away without getting in your way!”

“yes!”

He answered loudly.

I’m glad ARMY joined.

Because she was the only Badger I didn’t have to worry about my life while fighting. It wasn’t for nothing that I said she was the only Badger who could face Kyle and survive.

Badger was the only one who wanted to ask for support.

I’ll check on Shu’s condition.

Even Badger would take considerable damage if he was hit directly by the shockwave.

I hope that the light and salt of my life will take Shu and Kairos with them, and I am ready to run towards flowers again.

I was planning on running without stopping, since bringing up memories definitely seemed to reduce aggression.

This time, I’m going to completely immerse myself in flowers… .

The moment I made the decision, something inside me started to flow backwards.

“Cough.”

A clot of blood poured out.

“Ugh… .”

“inhalation!”

I hoped no one saw it.

It was a no-brainer. You saw me bend down and vomit blood and got irritated.

“Inhale! I know you want to die, but you don’t plan on cleaning that up and then dying!”

I’m angry.

It looks like he’s upset that I asked him to let me die.

It was heartbreaking to see someone who had left everything to me and had no intention of coming back and said, ‘Let me die.’

Igor said he would see You apologize later, but things turned out this way and I ended up apologizing in return.

But why don’t I still remember that time?

I was just thinking about that.

chin

The nape of the neck was grabbed.

Support support support!

“Ugh!”

sick.

There was no murderous intent at the approaching sound, so the reaction was slow.

So I couldn’t stop someone from putting something on my left hand and then rubbing the back of my neck.

Nutrients that flow in without notice.

I struggled, but the opponent wouldn’t let me go until the thing he was holding in his hand disappeared.

Support support support!

My opponent let me go only after the sensation of his left palm touching me disappeared.

You crazy kid… .

After walking a few steps forward, he leaned against the sword and took a deep breath.

As soon as my breathing came back, I became irritated.

“Yun!”

The shooter in black combat fatigues looked at me absentmindedly.

“why.”

“Didn’t I say I don’t like that!”

“That’s right.”

Yoon answered calmly.

“however?”

under….

I glanced at Yoon, rubbing the back of my cold neck.

But the shooter looked like he had no idea what the problem was. I wasn’t surprised.

I let out a short sigh of resignation and turned my head.

Fortunately, Cecil was still confused.

“Please take Jack and get out.”

Still, thanks to Yoon, my physical condition forcibly improved.

I don’t know what on earth I absorbed….

“I think if I repeat this a few times, something will happen.”

“Go in with the diamonds.”

Yoon spoke in a dry voice from behind.

“Because Choi Ami is here.”

That’s a good point.

As if he had heard her, Ami relayed the same message through the communicator.

Shu is slowly recovering and has no intention of giving up on Cecil, so he suggested going in now and trying to get Cecil out of the flower at the same time.

“great.”

I answered, starting to run away.

“You have to try everything you can.”

Ami didn’t hesitate.

It must have been a long way, but Ami was there the moment I climbed the flower. The senior approached me with Shu in his arms and helped Shu stretch out his arms.

Shu and I grabbed Cecil’s arm at the same time.

In my case, I leaned forward and my elbows fell into the puddle of flower water.

We started pulling Cecil at the same time.

Police station

ah.

Cecil’s eyes met mine.

For the first time, the wizard’s yellow eyes came into focus.

“Hilde?”

My heart pounded.

“Why are you here…?”

And then the past came rushing back again.

In a different way than before, the heavy past came rushing in.

Memories I had forgotten came flooding back, along with the headache.

‘Kyle.’

Something that happened 50 years ago and was forgotten.

‘He must be dead?’

As I was dying with Kyle, I fell into the ashen world and met Cecil.
