I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel - Chapter 165



A True Farewell

Centered around Eve, Hyena and Eunbyeol began to gather their strength.

A single strike to pierce through Surtr’s flames.

It was a kind of ritual to prepare for that.

But until then, it was uncertain whether we could buy enough time.

Even amidst this, Surtr was once again swinging his sword of fire.

“Ugh!”

“Don’t back down! Swing your swords with the determination to block it with your bodies!”

At the captain’s words, the Möbius Knights were truly doing just that.

If we were in a game raid, it might feel something like this.

But the stakes here were our lives.

“Ha! To think I’d end up fighting a monster like this in my lifetime! It’s worth all the endurance I’ve mustered!”

I charged at Surtr, unleashing a barrage of aimless attacks.

The black figure, as expected, was deflected by the fiery armor.

This time, Surtr swung his sword again.

A massive flame, as if spewed from a flamethrower, flickered and danced.

The knights managed to hold it off by combining their strength.

At times, perhaps feeling overwhelmed, they threw themselves to evade.

But of course, they couldn’t withstand every attack like that.

“Gah!”

One knight was struck by the flames from Surtr’s sword, and one side of his body was blown away.

The ensuing battle continued in that manner.

It wasn’t about defeating the opponent.

It was merely a desperate attempt to grasp at the hem of their enemy’s pants with their swords.

Under normal circumstances, these wouldn’t be the kind of people to engage in such a fight.

Each one of them was a hero capable of moving mountains.

Yet, in the face of the flames unleashed by Surtr, two of them vanished in an instant, as if their existence had been erased.

“Haha! It’s a dire situation we’re in!”

“Take care, my friends!”

They were sacrificing their bodies to buy time for Eve to gather her strength.

As I could no longer bear to watch, I reached for my sword.

“Stay still.”

Yuri grabbed my shoulder firmly.

Her hand trembled with rage and sorrow.

“Yuri, but—”

“If we go now, we might buy just a moment more. But that’s all it would be.”

She knew better than anyone how hard it was, how unbearable it could be.

Yet her eyes shone with a resolute strength.

“It’s not just about buying time. What we need to do now is endure and hold on.”

“Are you… okay with that?”

—

“It’s not okay. But if we go against it here, that would truly make the sacrifices of our seniors in vain.”

Of course, I know that too.

Why Yuri’s seniors can throw their lives away without hesitation.

They believe that Yuri can definitely defeat Surtr.

That’s why they can swing their swords even in the blazing flames.

“Damn it.”

What we have to do is watch over that.

There’s no other way to win.

Just enduring and holding on.

I realize anew that this is the hardest thing to do.

‘But with this, there’s definitely a chance.’

Behind us, Eve’s magic was almost fully gathered.

The power Surtr possesses is certainly strong.

But if we focus all our strength on a single point, it’s not something that can’t be pierced.

A clear and vivid blue aura flickering.

With a bullet containing this level of magic, it should definitely be possible.

-BOOM!

Meanwhile, the fight in front was almost over.

Of course, that didn’t mean Surtr had fallen.

There were hardly any knights left.

Even they were barely standing, their bodies in a mess.

Surtr looked at us and smiled, lifting the corners of his mouth.

“So that’s why you were charging at me so uselessly. Were you up to something cute?”

It seems even he is starting to realize that we are preparing something.

‘Damn it! Can we make it in time?’

We just need to buy a little, just a little more time.

But blocking someone who is openly targeting us and simply buying time are two different things.

“Why do you keep defying fate like this? If you just end it all cleanly, everything would be over without any problems!”

Flames burst from Surtr’s sword.

Even larger flames than before.

—

It glares at us head-on, like the maw of a dragon.

“Che!”

Right behind us, Eve is gathering her strength.

If we dodge, they’ll take the hit, and that would completely turn the tide against us.

Even if it’s dangerous, we have no choice but to block it somehow.

It was the moment when Yura and I raised our swords.

“Ugh!”

The leader of the Möbius Knights stood before us.

He raised his sword and took the full brunt of the massive flames alone.

“Gooo!”

He stood there like a wall, blocking our path.

But the flames continued, and his body gradually began to crumble.

The energy created by magic was being whittled away.

With such overwhelming force, even his sword eventually shattered.

Yet, the leader did not get pushed back.

He did not fall.

He stretched out both hands and faced the flames with his entire body.

His hands were burning away, his arms consumed by fire.

The charred remnants of his arms were swallowed by the searing flames, revealing bone beneath.

His face twisted in agony.

This was an attack no ordinary human could withstand.

No, even now, the leader was enduring not with strength, but with sheer willpower.

“Stop it!”

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Yura shouted.

“Enough… it’s enough now! We’ll take care of the rest! Leader…!”

“Are you telling me to run away like this?!”

But the leader shouted back at Yura instead.

Even in a state where it wouldn’t be strange for him to collapse at any moment.

His words carried a power that overwhelmed us all.

“Are you saying we can no longer fight? That the Möbius Knights are finished? Is that what you’re saying, Yura Lee?!”

Yuri bit her lip at the commander’s roar.

From a young age, she had been a part of it.

The order that nurtured her, that brought her this far.

It was her life, her education, her family.

Yuri had grown up watching the Möbius Knights.

But how could she say it?

Now that your fight is over, run away.

Who could judge those strong backs like that?

You have been defeated and vanished.

“It can’t be… can it?”

They do not die, because.

“The Möbius Knights are always the strongest!”

“Haha! That’s right!”

Yuri would continue to carry their will.

“Ready!”

It was then that Eve, who was behind her, shouted.

There was no time to hesitate any longer.

A single bullet, meticulously stacked over a long time.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Eunbyeol pulled the trigger.

The blue bullet shot straight ahead.

Is this an illusion, or is it mere coincidence?

The attack resembled the moment Hild threw herself into danger.

-CRACK!

“What?!”

The bullet flew straight toward Surt.

Instead of piercing, it created a splash of blue.

The creature’s armor shattered.

From noble mtl dot com

The flames that surrounded it vanished.

As it lost its balance and staggered, the fire disappeared.

Towards the completely defenseless creature.

Yuri and I ran without hesitation.

Only then did he seem to feel he had fulfilled his role.

The commander collapsed right there.

“Haha… Are you watching, you fools? We are quite… splendidly connected.”

With his dying words etched in my heart, I charged forward.

I swung the Spirit Blade first.

Surtr was taken aback and blocked my attack.

But he couldn’t do anything about Yuri’s following strike.

“Take this, neck of disaster!”

Yuri’s sword drew a line so beautiful it was almost art.

A blade capable of cutting even a god.

It clearly struck Surtr.

Did he realize it too?

Dropping the sword he held, he let out a hollow laugh.

“……I don’t understand.”

His body began to dissolve into particles, just as Hela’s had.

“Wasn’t my life already over? I was born solely to bring about the destruction of this world. I have no other purpose. Yet even that has failed. I don’t know what to do. Tell me. What was I supposed to do?”

His words resembled those of Hild.

They are the ones who live within a predetermined myth.

Thus, when the myth reached its climax but did not end,

They didn’t even know what they were supposed to do.

If that monster had someone to show him the way, perhaps he would have chosen a different path.

In the end, like Hild, who chose the end of her fate with her own hands.

Like Hela, who accepted her destiny yet chose to keep fighting.

“What are you even? Weak and lost, not knowing your role in this vast world. How can you shine like that?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

The author doesn’t understand.

The obvious reason why we must continue to live.

“It’s probably because we’re still alive.”

At my words, Surtr’s eyes widened in surprise.

Soon, he seemed to resign himself and laughed.

“Haha… Is that so?”

At last, the last remaining god of this place had vanished in the truest sense.

“…….I despise your heroes. I loathe your heroes. I… envied your heroes.”

With those words, Surtr completely transformed into particles of light and disappeared.

Turning my head, I saw Yuri exchanging farewells with the commander.

It was hard to believe that such a fierce battle had taken place.

The commander lay with eyes closed, a peaceful expression on his face.

“…Are you okay?”

“Yeah, they were a proud order until the very end. I’m satisfied with that.”

Yuri’s expression truly seemed to carry a sense of relief.

Perhaps it was because she could confidently say she had succeeded the order.

Even if the Möbius Knights were to truly vanish.

As long as she wielded her sword, that will would be eternal.

– Rumble!

At that moment, the castle suddenly shook.

No, it wasn’t just the castle that trembled.

[All beings of the world have been erased.]

[The world is beginning to collapse. Please evacuate swiftly.]
