The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow - The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow chapter 250

249 – Extraversion – Curtain Call

It’s already been three days since I woke up at Kayev Capital Hospital. The fact that I had come back alive was still not real.

Of course, just because you don’t feel it doesn’t mean that the missing leg and the whitened hair will return.

‘I managed to live. Really.’

After a diary discussion with the great mage of calamity, I passed out with my vision getting farther and farther away. Because of consuming so much mana all at once, a serious strain went into the mind.

The reason why her legs were cut off was because mana ran out of control and necrotized the blood vessels in her left leg, and if her thighs were not cut off, the necrosis would have spread to her entire upper and lower body.

As Masim was virtually crippled, she even had her hair bleached as a side effect.

Magic?

How do you use magic? Masim squeezed out everything that was left of her inoperability, even a few drops.

Seriously, it was luck that even saved her life.

Besides, Rumia said I was crushed by the rubble of a collapsed building. The reason why I talk like I heard it from someone is because I really have no memory.

There’s no way he could remember what happened while he was already unconscious.

I should have been dead at that point, but fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Erwin Ruth, who was nearby watching the situation, approached with a sherry tank and secured space with the tank gun.

I narrowly escaped being sandwiched in the rubble of concrete.

-So, first of all, we moved the Lieutenant General into the house that looked the most intact. From then on, I searched for other people just in case.

Ervin Ruth and the tank soldiers in question, who took shelter in a modest house near the cathedral, continued their search operation within the radius of the magic storm to see if there were other survivors like me.

In conclusion, they said they couldn’t find any survivors except me.

If it was natural, it was natural. How fiercely they fought, as I was at the center of it, I could see the city crumbling in real time.

Overwhelming despair turning human responses into scraps of toilet paper rolling on the floor.

It is nothing short of a miracle that Ervin and the other tankmen survived the catastrophe.

As it was relatively close to the epicenter of the clash between me and Alexei, it might have been that I was at least safe amidst all the magic and flying wreckage of destroyed buildings.

The fact that he was additionally riding a tank also contributed to his survival rate.

‘Well, thanks to you, I was able to live…….’

Even in Haoje, the great mage was often described to the point of being comparable to the ‘nucleus’ of other games.

A diabolical strategic weapon that can reduce the population of a city or fortress where troops are stationed to zero simply by appearing once.

No matter how much I possessed enough skills to be able to rub against a great mage, I think it was pretty cheap if it was just one leg in return.

Smart.

As I was staring out the window like that, I heard a knock outside the door.

“Come in.”

As soon as I spat out my answer, the door burst open and a woman with light green hair appeared who was trying hard to hold back her tears.

Four stars hanging from the shoulders. It was apparently the same rank at the end, but it seemed that they had been promoted anew after the war.

Well, since he was a great mage who did a great job in leading the battle to victory, he deserves that level of protocol.

“Captain Sonny Zeppelin.”

“Thank you for coming back alive, Enoch.”

She approached me, wiping the water from my eyes. I looked at it and burst out laughing.

“Going back to the sky seems like a failure. Unfortunately.”

“In that case, I would have dragged you down again no matter what…” ….”

“As you can see, you succeeded. As expected, the great mage of the heavens.”

“Seeing that the jokes are still out of context, it seems that Lieutenant General Enoch is the real one.”

I grabbed her hand as she held out her hand and shook it lightly. Sonny Zeppelin dragged a chair that was lying next to him and sat down.

Rumia said that I had been in a coma for almost three months.

I thought the time I was in the black space was only a few hours, but maybe the reason why the status message came up a little late was because of the difference in time flow between that space and reality.

“By the way, did you really come to visit me? The great mage of the world and the hero of saving Uk ran wouldn’t have visited just to do that.”

“Lieutenant General! What the hell do you think of me!”

“Isn’t it the great mage who doesn’t listen to people and tries to be executed as a criminal?”

“Ugh…… What the hell story…….”

Come to think of it, it was like this at the time, too. Memories that had been forgotten for a while came back to me.

I probably shouted that line back then.

Anyway, in the past three months, a lot of things have happened in the world.

Immediately won a complete victory from Uk ran to the Soviet Empire, and the ‘Neutral Security Treaty Organization’ leading to Uk ran, Polania, and the three Baltic countries.

Because it has firmly established itself as the leader of the third force called NSTO (Neutral Security Treaty Organization).

I finally succeeded in realizing a plan I had conceived before Soviet pushed into the Lunetsk region.

In other words, it means that Sonny Zeppelin, who is already busy with many things as the captain and the only great mage in Uk ran, came to the hospital room in broad daylight.

There might be purely a greeting, but there was also a reason why I had to split my schedule to visit.

“…… Even though I died and came back to life, I still didn’t feel like dying. That’s true.”

Sonny Zeppelin readily admitted. I know because I did three stars, but stars are usually busier during normal times than during wartime.

“Look at this first.”

Sonny Zeppelin flicks his fingers, and a piece of paper falls out of the air in front of his eyes. As soon as I read the paper, I was overcome with a strange feeling.

—

Notice of company transfer

[Affiliation: 6th Corps, Uk ranian Expeditionary Forces Command]

[Rank: Lieutenant General]

[Name: Enoch Levandel]

It is notified that the above deceased died in battle after making a great achievement in the Battle of Stalinina during the dragon battle for the defense of the fatherland.

Army Chief of Staff Field Marshal Denis Reznikov

—

I was the owner of the notice of war. Even the official seal of the chief of staff is stamped. Isn’t this the status of a corpse? Even looking at the date, the document was issued two months ago?

“Something is strange. I wasn’t dead, wasn’t I in a coma?”

“That’s why I came. Lieutenant General Enoch. You are officially dead.”

“I don’t know English.”

I couldn’t understand. Doesn’t my existence, sitting here right now, prove that I’m not dead?

“I am really sorry that I decided right away without asking a doctor. But I assure you, this will be much better for you, Enoch.”

Sonny Zeppelin added, pulling a chair next to her and sitting down.

“International Mado Conference.”

I was immediately convinced. Yes, there was that damn meeting.

This was the biggest reason why Uk ran had not been able to use it on the front line even though it had a strategic weapon called the Sony Zeppelin.

An international policy body composed entirely of great mages.

They restrained other archmages themselves, while forcibly restricting them from projecting direct power into activities such as ‘war’.

It’s not that I don’t understand it very well, but it was an organization that could not be had without it from the point of view of a small country where Sony Zeppelin was everything to believe.

Isn’t it a group that has abandoned political neutrality in the first place and pursued only the interests of its own country and its allies?

But here I beat the calamity Farad Alexei, who ranks 8th in Stalin.

There was no choice but to be caught on the radar of the International Magecraft Conference. In fact, even knowing that, I deliberately gave up on getting notarized as a great mage.

“If you are found to be alive, there is no choice but to be referred to the International Magical Council. Having won against the great mage means that you were a master of the great mage level.”

“That’s why I treated it as dead.”

“…… Huh.”

Sonny Zeppelin nodded his head sadly. I read the warrior notice once again, then crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.

Notice that you hit the corner exactly and enter.

“Enoch?”

“Rather good. Anyway, now I don’t have a leg anymore, and I’ve used up all my magic power, so it’s as good as dead as a mage.”

There is no lingering attachment to rank. To be honest, with this level of specs, it’s a level that makes you want to go beyond the general and even the enemy, let alone lieutenant general.

But isn’t there nothing good about that?

The responsibility for the comrades who left the road is still weighing on their shoulders.

I couldn’t even organize that, but I didn’t want to do anything stupid like adding more luggage here.

“How about your identity instead?”

“I have already created a new identity. His name is Enoch Pedro Zaluzny. It’s the setting of the political successor of Count Pedro of the North.”

It seems that there is an unexpected setting attached.

“I heard that you are happy to finally be able to repay the hero who defended your daughter, family honor, and country.”

I didn’t know that the relationship that had been going on since the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion would work like this.

“Zaluzny, as you know, is the surname of a hero in the old Uk ranian War of Independence.”

“Isn’t that an exaggerated name?”

“No, I should rather do this much. You will probably be surprised. After His Majesty Orlando, the Lieutenant General has the most statues erected?”

A statue.

I wanted to see something, but when I see it, I think I’m going to die of embarrassment again.

“…… After.”

“Thank you for coming back alive, Enoch. This is true.”

Sonny Zeppelin said and laughed. Even though I was looking at the age of almost 30, I couldn’t help but laugh at the face that was still different from that of the early 30s.

Okay.

I understand why Sonny Zeppelin’s face went red in the Haoze game, having to go through such a crap situation alone.

“Then what do you plan to do when you get discharged? Mr. Enoch Pedrovic Zaluzny.”

“Hmm… ….”

I closed my eyes for a moment and thought about Sony’s question.

I didn’t think too much about the future after the war, but there was one thing I thought about.

“I just want to go down to the quiet countryside and build a mansion and live there.”

“Mansion? Hope is humble for a war hero. Have you ever had a romance with a bigger house?”

“No, not that…” ….”

I added as if joking around to the archmage with a puzzled expression.

“There are a lot of people to be responsible for.”
