Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 272
272 – Life and Death (1)
-‘Is the hostage supposed to be him…?’
When news was delivered that White Davich had been taken hostage, most of Japan’s magical girls reacted that way.
A feeling of rejection that cannot be hidden. At a drinking party, he expressed his discomfort without hesitation, as if he had heard the name of his boss who forced him to drink.
“Mr. White… Um, yes! We must get it back! certainly! Of course, we save others besides him!”
Even Mitsuki, who caught the concept of the world’s best courtier in front of Han Jae-joong, implicitly revealed her disapproval.
Although it has been a year since White Davikh left Japan, there were still many people who remembered her.
Not in a good sense, but in a bad sense.
“What have you been doing…?”
Jo Ayun was dumbfounded when she saw that awkward reaction.
What did a magical girl do when she was in Japan, a group of people who were busy saving their comrades, act like this?
“….”
Han Jaejoong, who knew the reason, just kept his mouth shut.
Death of Gray Sadalsud. Even the circumstances and ending. He felt that there was no need for him to come forward and explain himself.
‘If you don’t say it yourself, they won’t believe you in the first place.’
Of course, there was also a reason why dealing with the storm on the Argonauts that was approaching immediately came first rather than working on the image of White Davih.
Although the will to save the hostage was low, the will to fight against the monster itself was not broken.
Three storms appeared in the West Sea of Japan.
The wind that appeared without any real signs seemed to reveal that it was caused by a monster.
It is clearly the work of the constellation Argo.
Why did it cause three storms unlike before? The answer was simple.
“Are they aiming to destroy each individual…?”
The intention was probably to disperse the forces rather than crowding in and being massacred like last time.
If all power was concentrated on one storm, the other two storms would land on land and destroy everything.
As a magical girl with a duty of protection, she had to deal with all three storms.
It was clearly a war effort against Yun Seol-hwa.
The plan was designed so that even if one of them gets hit, the other two can prepare.
I don’t once again feel resentful or resentful.
In fights against monsters, the weak are always humans.
The monster always appeared when the conditions, situations, and times were most advantageous and tormented people.
Magical girls have always fought in unfavorable situations.
It was always like that, so it was just like that today.
However, this time things changed a little.
A ruse is only meaningful if it works.
However, overwhelming force easily destroys the plans of the weak.
And now, there are two people with overwhelming force in humanity.
A monster among monsters who treats monsters as weak children.
An ability that has the firepower to defeat even the galaxy’s monsters with a single blow and overwhelming convenience.
A person who has reached supernova, the dream stage that all magical girls aim for, and a person who has reached the universe itself, where no monster has been able to reach.
It was Yun Seol-hwa and Han Jae-joong.
“So, me and the Hound will each take on one storm.”
They could have easily achieved victory even if S-class monsters flooded into the army.
It was a very natural response for dozens of Argonauts to go into a storm alone.
“I won’t listen to the objection that it’s dangerous…” “To put it bluntly, it’s more likely that you who are separated from us are the ones who are in danger.”
Baek Ah-hee bit her lip in exasperation. Hearing those words, I felt like I could actually see the wall of skill drawn between them and myself.
“Ha, fuck, you’re unlucky.”
“What can I do if it’s true?”
“Yes, I know that my brother and sister are strong. but! What about brainwashing?!”
Jo Ayun dug in sharply. Han Jaejoong pursed his lips as if he had been caught off guard.
“Because my brother is so damn strong, if he is brainwashed, we will be followed.”
“There is only one Jaejoong in my heart. “I will never fall for such nonsense.”
Seolhwa Yoon dismissed the anxiety with a cold voice. Jo A-yoon sneered as if it were insignificant.
“The person who said that was the first to get hit. Do you have a brother in your heart? Ah, so I don’t have any at all?”
“You said it wrong. “Ayun, you are there too.”
“Um, what about me?! “Isn’t there Sirius?”
“I’m a hound now. And uh ah hee you… um.”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?!”
Are you asking because you don’t know? Seolhwa Yoon frowned.
Baek Ah-hee has recently become the number one person to watch out for in Yun Seol-hwa’s mind. The reason is, of course, Han Jaejoong.
‘Too close.’
Even from the passing dog, it was clear that Baek Ah-hee had feelings for Han Jae-joong. I don’t know if the favor was familial or heteros*xual, but in any case, Baek A-hee harbored a great deal of love.
The problem was that the target was his lover.
As Han Jaejoong watched her go out, he was just watching her too.
If he had witnessed the moment of attacking her even though he didn’t like it, his inner hound would have run wild and bitten her.
It wasn’t just romantic anxiety, there was also an instinctive feeling of rejection.
‘If you can’t be blind in love, that kind of attitude would be bad.’
The reason why love is dangerous for a magical girl is because it creates a special person for the magical girl who must protect all of humanity.
Even ordinary people are conflicted between work and love, but magical girls are naturally conflicted between peace and love.
It is often seen that people are eaten by love because they cannot control their emotions. If you fall too much in love, you may be stripped of your right to become a magical girl.
Especially for a girl with a clear dream like Baek A-hee, love was fatal.
It creates a gap in the heart that pursues dreams.
“Speaking of which, Baek Ah-hee, you!”
“Ah, now it’s Red Vega….”
“Hey, if you think you’re going crazy, tell me right away. “Okay?”
Previously, Baek A-hee was almost persuaded by Jason on the Argo. Even if a voice like that came out, I couldn’t help it.
As he was almost brainwashed, he was evaluated as unsuitable as a manpower to fight the Argonauts, but as there are still few people in the current generation who have awakened to divinity, he was inevitably selected as one of the participants in this operation.
“Well, that was a strange time! “I will never be brainwashed or anything like that!”
“It was always that b*tch who got hit first.”
The Argonauts’ brainwashing capabilities created many elements of uncertainty in this operation.
Originally, the magical girl side would have also involved a large number of people in the operation against such a large force. However, because all of the brainwashed personnel could end up joining the enemy, this operation was also carried out with a small number of elite personnel.
The Hound and the Watcher would each be in charge of one storm, and everyone else would be in charge of the other storm.
The personnel consisted of Red Vega, Odette, Silver Luna, and Magenta Helios.
The most important role in this team was Odette.
We had to appropriately judge whether or not other personnel had been brainwashed and send them out, and if we thought it would be difficult to deal with the enemies with only the current personnel, we had to bring in new troops from outside.
In addition, he continued to communicate with Jaejoong Han and Seolhwa Yoon through the belt and mascot, and was also in charge of taking them out when they were in danger or calling them to their aid when they themselves were in danger.
It was safe to say that the success of this operation depended on her.
Her shoulders felt heavy and she sighed deeply.
The storm was now before our eyes.
“I’ll trust you.”
“If it were you, Ayun, you could do well.”
Patting her on the back, Han Jae-joong and Yoon Seol-hwa entered the storm first.
“Look at the advice they give that they are relaxed….”
Her expression under the helmet was slightly relaxed, as if she was sarcastic but not that disgusted.
Baek Ah-hee looked at Jo Ah-yoon like she was jealous of him.
“Then let’s go in too! “We can’t just let those two be active!”
“yes! I will definitely make the technique a success!”
“I will definitely show my benefactor a good image!”
“The purpose is impure….”
Magenta Helios said with a stern expression. Silver Luna flinched at that murmur.
“Then I will tell you another purpose.”
When I looked back, I saw Helios looking into the storm with determined eyes.
“Let’s go back to our lives safely.”
The life she said she had fought for the longest had a certain weight to it.
‘I’m anxious.’
Her pink gaze turned into the storm.
That seawater-filled whirlpool looked like the entrance to hell.
Like a crossroads between life and death.
**
Amundsen muttered as he looked at the humans approaching in the storm. His eyes captured the real world, not the Goldilocks Zone.
“It’s coming.”
“hmm! “That’s a good thing!”
On the ship, monsters and people were busy preparing for the coming fight. The faces who would have been fighting for life and death before boarding this ship have come together and are working toward the same goal.
One day, I looked at that strange scene while chained.
“You idiot, don’t be stupid!”
“Hey, get this thing off the road! “It’s inconvenient to get around!”
“Amundsen! “How long until we arrive?!”
“Now three….”
“Three minutes?”
“This… thing….”
“Oh fuck!”
A shooting star twinkled in the sky above the busy crowd. While everyone was rolling their eyes back and forth between the sky and the ship, Haru was staring blankly at one monster.
Haru, who was staring at the monster without blinking, opened his lips.
“Why are there laggards here?”
“hmm? ha ha ha! “You’re saying something strange!”
Jason smiled and answered her question.
“Everyone here is alive! Even if the body and soul are dead, the will is alive and flowing here! “If that living will inspires the living, even if you die, it’s no different from being alive!”
“aha….”
Haru took a deep breath. A flute appeared in front of her mouth. Her dazed eyes turned alive.
That monster’s name is Nautius.
The monster of southern Pisces.
He was a monster who killed Gray Sadalsud’s parents and drove her to death.
I don’t know why the dead are here, but if they are dead, they must return to death.
Good and immediate death.
Death is good.
Death is truly a good deed. The sound of the flute containing her thoughts became magic and spread.
The sound of the flute calling for good deeds spread widely and eventually reached people beyond death.
Seungcheong (承聽).
I will carry on your will, so you in the underworld, please listen.
The shadow of Gray, who had died in the past, was cast over White.
Her shadow turned into a sharp spear blade and headed towards Nautius, the monster she was targeting.
Jason opened his mouth again.
“And that will is determined by distance and time. “The closer people get to each other, the more impressed they become by each other.”
Words filled with will become meaning and penetrate into her will as language.
“You, too, are impressed by my will.”
That was an assertion.
The shadow aimed at Nautius disappeared, and the life-like eyes also turned blank.
One day, I collapsed with a headache.
“I’ll send that friend and Nautius to the 2nd unit. “It looks like we have a bad relationship, so we need to reconcile.”
Jason waved his frozen hand. Then, Haru and Nautius, who had been on the ship until just now, disappeared.
“It’s definitely uncomfortable because my arms are frozen!”
Jason chuckled, swinging his frozen arm repeatedly.
As expected, everyone took the time to persuade and persuade everyone.
This is Jason’s sea. his world. One day, this world itself will become his ocean, but that’s a story for another time.
If you have enough time, you can make anything your comrade.
That was his will and his greed.
bang! A meteor fell on the ship.
In the meteor, blue lights containing the mysteries of the universe were visible. A vast and far-reaching power, greater than the blue sea.
“It’s been a while. Ah, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
“Now that I see it, you also have great passion!”
The Watcher walked towards Jason.
Jason also walked towards the Watcher.
“Where are the hostages… Ah, I should tell you this first.”
“Seeing people like you makes me want to say this!”
They looked at each other with burning eyes.
“Have you ever seen stars?”
“You, become my colleague!”
puck! With a greeting, the Watcher’s fist struck Jason’s head. At the same time, ships in the sky turned and fired cannons at the Watcher.
When a hail of shells covered the sky, Jason regenerated the shattered head. He said with a big smile.
“I won’t die!”
No hardship can stop you.
Just like time.
“My will also never dies!”
I was confident that I would take my time.
“I don’t give up!”
You can’t stop time, fast forward it, or slow it down.
“You become my companion!”
Time was on his side more than anyone else.
