This Villain is Soft - Chapter 133



Only Noblemtl

Episode 133

The sinister noise and ominous atmosphere of the machine completely disappeared and the dark clouds cleared.

As sunlight poured into the harbor, the exhausted heroes sank to the ground.

They were all exhausted from the long fight with unstable abilities and had faces that looked like they were going to die.

The sea was shining beautifully and the birds were chirping, but Haon was staring blankly at the dimensional gate.

To be exact, the spot where Juyeol was standing.

“main…….”

Haon couldn’t bring himself to call the name. He was afraid that even if he called the name, the person wouldn’t show up.

I couldn’t even order Blue to go look for it.

I was just standing here. I wanted to believe that he was just lurking in the shadows, acting mischievously.

Meanwhile, Bae An-jae continued to grumble as if he was being treated unfairly.

“This can’t be happening. This is ridiculous. How much I… … .”

“… … .”

Haon looked back at him, clenching his trembling fists.

Bae An-jae got up, moving his body slowly, and started to swear like he had lost his mind.

“Does this make sense? I am the one who has seen the void! I am the closest human to God!”

“… … .”

“How fiercely I have lived!”

“dentition?”

In Haon’s mind, scenes of his comrades from the previous dimension and the heroes here fighting against evil unfolded like a panorama.

The figure of Juyeol, who protected me until the end and then disappeared in the end.

It felt like the fever I thought had gone away was boiling again.

It felt like the mana circuit that started from my heart and continued to my fingertips was heating up.

I felt like I now knew for sure what this feeling was, which I had only vaguely known before.

“… … Fierce?”

Haon supported his open hand with his thumb and index finger with the other hand and held it forward as if he was shooting a gun.

“What kind of ridiculous thing is that? Have you finally lost your mind? They say that a genius is only a hair’s breadth from a madman!”

Bae An-jae staggered and ran towards Ha-on, cursing.

‘Stretch your arms out and place your legs shoulder-width apart.’

Haon was thinking about what Juyeol had told him.

“Just aim the gun so that the sights and rear sights are aligned with the target and pull the trigger to shoot.”

“Keep your eyes on your target until the moment you pull the trigger.”

His body temperature touched my back as he helped me maintain my posture at the shooting range.

A large hand that completely covered the hand holding the gun.

A soft voice echoes from the bedside.

The ticklish tone of voice that called out, “Haon-ah.”

Blue mana gathered at Haon’s fingertips as he passed through the mana circuit.

“Living well is the most intense way to live.”

Round mana bullets were fired rapidly with a slight recoil.

Thud!

Bae An-jae, who was hit by Mana Tan, was stuck in the dimensional gate and lost consciousness, falling to the floor.

The dimensional portal that had been leaking black smoke eventually came crashing down with a rattling sound, as if it had been completely destroyed.

The dark energy had also completely burned out, leaving only a faint trace.

“Haa. Haa.”

Haon sat down, clutching his pounding heart. It was the first time he had used his ability.

Awakening fever.

The sudden fever I experienced was a natural symptom of awakening.

In the afterimage shown by Chaser, Woo Hye-seong was suffering from a high fever as she was awakening.

Haon was blankly looking down at his hands, when he suddenly noticed a shadow over his head and turned around.

Then, Rusty woke up and was stretching his pierced hand towards Haon’s neck.

“ah…….”

When Haon was belatedly flinching in a dazed state.

Phew!

Rusty’s body fell sideways with a bloody sound. A sharp knife was stuck in his red-marked head.

Haon, who had been frozen, turned his head with a surprised expression and met Weaver’s eyes, who was lying face down but only slightly raising his upper body.

“Anyway, the fighting never ends. This neighborhood is so annoying.”

She muttered as if she was fed up and laid back down with her cheek on the ground.

Haon looked around the harbor with a dazed look on his face.

Bae An-jae lost the magic engineering device, and the dimensional gate was safely closed.

The war is over.

The hunter approached and touched Haon’s shoulder.

“Galaxy On. You saved countless people.”

“… … .”

“Unfortunately, Ghost died in the line of duty─.”

“What’s the use of all that?”

“… … .”

Haon said with a trembling voice.

“What good is it if we save everyone else but lose Juyeol?”

The moment Haon blurted out his true feelings, he faced the harsh reality.

I lost my temper. I hung my head, my breath caught in my throat at the thought of never seeing him again.

“no…….”

Just like the absent-minded Bae An-jae, Ha-on repeated the same words.

“This can’t be happening. This isn’t right.”

As I tried to get up with wobbly legs, the hunter pulled my arm and helped me up.

“I know you were close to the ghost. So calm down for now─”

“No. Absolutely not.”

Haon picked up the cell phone that had fallen on the floor without even listening to Hunter.

“I’ll bring it.”

Then, he pulled out the tube containing traces of dark energy from the core of the dimensional portal and ran straight out of the port.

It felt like my feet were sinking deep into the ground, like I was running through a swamp.

My legs were heavy, my chest was aching, and every step was difficult.

“Honey. Where are you going? Honey.”

I heard voices coming from behind me, but I didn’t look back.

All I could think about was that I had to hurry up and bring Juyeol.

“Haon-ah.”

Then Nova grabbed his hand and turned him around.

There was a faint look of anticipation on his face, and his long white hair, blowing in the wind, glistened like a pearl.

“Nova.”

The tears that had been welling up in Haon’s eyes began to flow down. His expression looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.

Nova, startled, stared at Haon without saying anything.

‘When I wanted to break it so badly, it never broke.’

He rolled bitter words in his mouth, but eventually his expression disappeared and he let go of my hand.

“……go.”

“… … .”

Haon turned his back without hesitation and went out of the port.

* * *

Wheeing─.

The lab was abuzz with the sound of computers calculating and the sounds of machinery.

“Blue. I’m going to change the settings of the dimensional gate.”

As soon as Haon returned to the lab, he began to hurriedly tear down and repair the dimensional gate.

The dimensional gate in Bae An Jae was broken, but the one I was making was fine.

Blue.

Joo-yeol-ah.

What good is it if I save everyone else and lose you?

‘Juyeol-ah. You said I was a hero, but I guess you weren’t.’

The sense of relief that I saved people was secondary. I was just so sad and regretful that I couldn’t save even one person in space.

If I could save only one life between several hostages and one person, which one would I choose?

‘… … I will save you too. I will get you back.’

I wiped away the tears that were falling with my sleeve and moved my hands busily.

‘So please stay alive. No, you will stay alive. You have to.’

When Haon returned home, he threw away the fragments of the mana bomb he had intended to use as dimensional coordinates from the core.

‘Please come back, even if you can’t go home.’

A coffin containing traces of dark energy was placed in that spot. The dimensional prism shone brilliantly.

It’s a shame that I can’t go say hello to Parang. It’s also a shame that I can’t tell ‘Juyeol’ that I’m safe.

Now Ha-on’s head was filled with thoughts about Ju-yeol.

“Do you still see me as that kid? Does that kid look at you like this?”

“I’ve always had selfish intentions. Every time I slept next to you, every time I touched you. Even now… … .”

“Please, let me make you feel better.”

His sorrowful words came to mind so vividly that it made my heart ache.

‘Juyeol-ah. There’s something I haven’t told you.’

You should have answered a little sooner.

‘I wasn’t sure, but now I know.’

It was only after he disappeared that I could no longer hide my true feelings.

‘Juyeol-ah. I also think you… … .’

Haon bit his trembling lips and went out through the dimensional gate.

The times I spent with Juyeol kept flashing before my eyes.

* * *

Terrible silence and darkness.

What Juyeol was faced with when he opened his eyes was a majestic emptiness.

I looked around, bewildered by the unfamiliar feeling of floating, but everywhere I looked was empty.

‘No, is it filled with something…?’

Joo-yeol felt his heart pounding anxiously and he flailed around, looking for a place to stand.

But nothing touched the tips of my feet.

“Hey. Is anyone here?”

He blurted out his words impulsively and immediately regretted them.

I couldn’t even imagine how frustrating it would be if there was no answer.

[Here I am!]

“… … !”

But before I could even begin to feel lost, a voice more welcoming than ever was heard.

Juyeol picked up Ttyong by feeling his shoulder with a surprised expression.

“What? Does this existence mean that this isn’t the afterlife?”

[This is a place that cannot be found on the registered map!]

“How many maps do you have registered?”

[I’ll show you the map!]

As Ttyong rubbed his head, a blue hologram appeared in the air.

The map registered to this small mechanical hamster was the entire Earth. It seemed to be a map of a portal site.

His expression became serious as he looked at the map.

‘This is a place that can’t be found on any map of the Earth… …?’
