I’m Here to End This Fight - Chapter 422



Only Noblemtl

Episode 422. Trap (2)

A pure white light that engulfed the space.

At the center of the intense light and heat that seemed to burn everything down was the power of a gigantic explosion.

It looked as if a small sun had appeared on the ground.

In that fleeting moment of time as the sun expands, most people recall their own end.

Death. Death. Death.

Death. Death. Death.

That such a great power is beyond his control.

That it can never be stopped.

That this moment might be his last.

Most people equally expected death.

But not everyone.

Yuri, who was the first to notice that the bomb was about to explode, flew straight towards the center of the explosion.

‘Fuck!’

It was a sin to be the first to notice the crisis.

No, if wanting to live forever is a sin, then it is a sin.

A terrible force that could not be resisted was looming before her eyes, but Yuri could not give up just like that.

‘Surviving!’

I had to survive somehow.

It will definitely happen!

I didn’t live my life so desperately just to be buried underground like this.

‘If I survive here, I won’t even look at the so-called labyrinth from now on… no, the tunnel!’

Whether it’s the Labyrinth of Sin or the Dragon’s Labyrinth.

Anyway, didn’t all the moments when your life was on the line happen in this damn labyrinth?

So, it will never crawl into the ground again.

With that determination, Yuri instinctively used the magic.

An explosion of enormous magnitude that one cannot even guess whether one can handle.

Now that the Avatar was asleep, only Maru was left with the ability to confront that power.

‘It should go well.’

If you fail, the only outcome will be death.

That was the moment when Yuri was prepared to face death and moved forward.

A single thought crossed his mind.

[Step back.]

A firm voice.

But at the moment when a voice with a sense of pride lingered in his head, a black shadow blocked Yuri’s path.

‘May Winchester!’

The shadow blocking the way as if telling them not to come any closer was May.

Of course, it was a natural thing.

Because right now, she was the only one in this space who could share an exhilarating time similar to Yuri’s.

In that split second when everyone stopped, May, who had stopped Yuri, went towards the huge explosion in his stead.

At the same time, the black shadow that had been surrounding May swelled up in an instant and enveloped her.

A shadow that looks like a black egg.

The moment it split into left and right.

‘…feathers?’

An image of black feathers fluttering dizzily appeared before Yuri’s eyes.

And as the feathers settled, May appeared, riding a black horse with black wings.

A war horse completely black, from its body to its wings.

It was the incarnation of May, with its lush mane and blue eyes.

Flutter-!

The incarnation, flapping its wings so loudly that it appeared to the world, rushed forward in an instant carrying May.

A picture of May swinging her spear while riding on a winged black horse.

It was clearly the iron-blooded queen who ruled the battlefield.

Ssang-!

The long, black afterimage left by May and the Avatar was reminiscent of a giant spear.

There is a blue trace mixed in there.

The blue light was starting from none other than May’s shoulder.

A blue aura swirling around the window.

At the same time, an eerie anticipation gathered around Chang’s head.

The tip of the spear, filled with tremendous energy, was pointed at the epicenter of the explosion.

One of the secret techniques of Winchester’s spearmanship was revealed towards that place.

The Winchester family’s vision of magic.

Vortex.

An eerie blue light shot into the exploding white light.

Then, a dark blue dot appeared in the pure white world, and in an instant, it grew in size and began to rotate.

Kwarrrr–!

The suction power of the vortex, swirling at a terrifying speed and trying to swallow up the power of the explosion.

On the other hand, the explosive power that expands endlessly and tries to escape from the vortex.

Two opposing forces were constantly clashing.

How long did that fierce fight last?

The two forces that had been clashing with a tremendous roar began to slowly subside.

There was no winner in that fierce contest of strength.

At this, a strange light flashed through Yuri’s eyes.

‘It’s a draw.’

The suction power of disintegration, the explosive power of expansion.

The two forces that were constantly clashing eventually cancel each other out.

I was happy about that fact for a moment.

Yuri’s expression hardened at the pure white energy that was still rushing to cover the world.

‘shit!’

Although the epicenter of the explosion was removed and a large explosion that would have followed was prevented, there was nothing that could be done about the power of the explosion that had already been released into the world.

If we leave it like this, the force of the explosion will engulf us all like a tidal wave.

So Yuri raised her spirits and used the magic again.

‘You can’t save them all.’

He couldn’t block all of this explosive power with his own strength.

But some of them may be able to be saved.

That’s why he had to choose, and there was no hesitation in his choice.

Yuri’s consciousness reached the members of the Sowol mercenary group behind her, frozen in shock.

Members of the mercenary group and friends.

Even if everyone here dies, I can protect them.

The moment Yuri spread the power of the demon lord with that thought.

[Please take care of the rest.]

May’s thoughts mixed into my mind again.

At the same time, a wall of black shadow rose in front of her.

Clang-!

In an instant, a wall of shadow expanded in front of the expedition team, blocking the tsunami of the explosion.

and.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

A terrible explosion erupted from beyond the black wall.

“What, what?!”

“Huh?!”

The expedition team members blinked in confusion at the eardrum-shattering explosion.

That’s understandable, because all they saw was a sudden explosion and a black wall appearing in front of them.

What happened in that split second.

Only Yuri knew what sacrifices May Winchester had made.

Ddddddd-!

As the aftershocks of the explosion slowly died down, the shadow wall that had split the cave in half was absorbed by May and disappeared.

Then the space beyond the shadow wall was revealed.

The place was completely blackened and radiated hot heat.

If May hadn’t built a wall to block the explosion, the entire expedition would have been reduced to ash by that heat.

As the horrific scene played out in their minds, each member of the expedition broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed dry saliva.

At that moment.

Cool!

May staggered violently, spitting up blood.

Then, Yuri’s new form appeared next to her with a lightning bolt, and caught May’s body as she lost consciousness and collapsed.

When people saw this, they were surprised and ran towards the situation.

“May!”

“Aunt!”

Ignoring the amazement heard from behind.

“… … .”

Yuri just looked down at May’s face, who had passed out in silence.

***

“How is it?”

Seojun, who was looking at May at Yuri’s question, let out a small groan.

“hmm…….”

Theresia’s face also darkened as her complexion darkened.

“Is the condition… really bad?”

“There is no danger to his life. However, his internal injuries are severe.”

“To what extent?”

“In your current state, it’s hard to say when you’ll wake up. And even if you do wake up, you won’t be able to move right away.”

Teresia bit her lip.

The surrounding atmosphere also became heavy.

May Winchester collapses unconscious.

No one knew that she had gone there to save the expedition team.

‘If I wanted to live alone… I could have done it.’

Even May Winchester, who is considered one of the weakest among the masters, is still a master.

If she had been alone, she wouldn’t have been caught in the explosion.

Even if I had been caught in the explosion, if I had tried to survive alone, I wouldn’t have ended up like that.

However, she used her Avatar to save the entire expedition team, absorbing and blocking the aftermath of the explosion.

He endured the tremendous shock all by himself, so it was very fortunate that he did not die but ended up with internal injuries.

As Teresia’s face became filled with thought, Gayeon patted her thigh.

“Don’t worry too much, baby. As soon as I get out of here, I’ll do whatever it takes to get May back to how she was.”

“Okay, I promise on my name.”

Gayeon and Seojun.

The Keller school of medicine and the Henri school of medicine.

Teresia bowed her head in gratitude for the promise made by the masters of the two great schools, who put their names on the line.

Minsu waved his hand when he saw this.

“Ahem! Thank you, you saved us! It’s something we should have done!”

Gayeon’s eyes widened at Minsu’s words.

“Hey, anyway, why did you touch that and make this mess!”

“That’s what I’m saying!”

“You’re still so careless at your age, tsk tsk.”

All of this happened because Minsu touched the red crystal.

So, as the masters started to criticize each other, Minsu shouted with a red face.

“I, I knew this would happen to me! And even if I hadn’t touched it, someone would have done it to investigate it eventually! I was just unlucky!”

In fact, although they did criticize him, the other masters knew very well that Minsu was right.

This was a trap designed from the beginning, assuming that someone from the expedition would inevitably touch the red crystal pillar.

The Masters’ gazes turned to Yuri as they recalled that fact.

“The voice that told me not to touch you… That was definitely your voice. How could you possibly know that this would happen?”

At Do-cheol’s question, Yu-ri let out a sigh.

‘Where and how should I start explaining this… … .’

Not only the gazes of the masters were filled with doubt and caution, but also the gazes of the surrounding Gols were filled with suspicion.

Aren’t those the kind of eyes that would immediately misunderstand if you explained something wrong?

So Yuri decided to tell the truth without overthinking it.

“Segyeong Walker.”

“… How do you know that name?”

“I’m going to explain from now on, so listen without interrupting.”

“… … .”

Yuri began to tell her story after seeing the masters nodding their heads.

“The first time I met that inspiration was in the cradle.”

After that, Yuri’s voice echoed softly throughout the room.

***

A relationship with Se-gyeong.

And even how he could have predicted that the bomb would explode.

After Yuri’s rather long story ended, Minsu sighed.

“Huh, I never could have guessed… So this was all his doing?”

A bomb of enormous power exploded in the community.

When I saw that, I thought it was a no-no, but it really was that guy’s work.

Minsu’s expression hardened with anger.

“… that loser.”

The face of Se-gyeong, who was very chubby, appeared in his mind.

Se-gyeong was once a promising talent who was considered to pass on the Ramel school.

But, not only did he disappoint those expectations and move to the Walker School, he also ended up creating something that would destroy the world.

So, with a heavy heart, I banished him from my clan and put him in the cradle.

But it wasn’t enough that he ran away from the cradle, and now he’s causing such great harm to his clan.

Because Minsu was the one who loved Se-gyeong more than anyone else in the Gol clan, he was more angry and saddened than anyone else.

While Minsu clenched his fists, the other masters also expressed their emotions.

“These damn cradles!”

“If the prisoner you left behind escaped, you should have tried to find him, or at least contacted us!”

“You always come here and whine, asking me to do this and that, but you never do your own work properly. Tsk tsk.”

Those who had been venting their anger at the Black Swords and the Cradle suddenly looked worried.

“Anyway, he planned this… … .”

“Ugh! Seeing as that bastard Se-gyeong tried to annihilate us here… That must be what he was aiming for, right?”

“What else could that son of a bitch be after?”

Yuri, who saw those who were so worried, brought up the question that had been in her heart.

“I heard that too… Is it really true?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Once the bomb of the great master Se-gyeong is completed, one of the administrative districts will be blown away like a joke.”

The Sowol mercenary group members were shocked when they heard the story for the first time.

“Oh, the administrative district is flying away?”

“Just one bomb?!”

At this, the masters sighed deeply.

“That son of a bitch… he was talking about all the sins of the neighborhood.”

“You sound like a crazy person.”

Minsu opened his mouth on behalf of the grumbling masters.

“It’s the minimum.”

“huh?”

“Segyeong, that guy’s habit is to always assume the minimum expected value of the research results in preparation for the worst case scenario. And that guy’s research always shows results that are higher than expected. Without a single exception.”

Yuri swallowed dry saliva and asked at Minsu’s story.

“Well, if it’s not the minimum… how much is it? What is the explosive power?”

“If the guy’s experiment yields average results, he’ll probably blow up a couple of administrative districts. And if the experiment goes really well… … .”

Minsu’s hardened voice rang out low.

“Half the continent will be blown away.”
