Chapter 447: No Words?
[The Disaster of Flames, Ignir has been slain.]
[Participants: Tsugikuni Haru.]
[Last Hit: Tsugikuni Haru]
The battlefield at No-deul fell into silence. The bright panels that flashed before their eyes weren't the cause.
"Damn, there's another thing added to my bucket list." Nam-woon grinned ear to ear at the sight as Ji-Hye became speechless. Even from the river, they could see that scene.
[…] Even Paul watched on with a frown. The pillar of flame in the distance disappeared in silence like its user.
'He killed it.' Dok-ja became worried when he saw the Dragon flying in their direction.
Most of them felt that this would be the end. But when the dragon crashed on the island they understood what happened. Hundreds of cuts marred its massive body, broken scales, missing wings, chopped limbs, and smashed eyes. The fear soon turned into sympathy, but he was soon put out of his misery. After all, he completed his task.
He stood atop the corpse. His body stained with sizzling blood and fire surrounded him. Others moved back on instinct as they saw the blood burning through solid ground. But, their worries gathered for the one in the middle of this.
'His eyes are bleeding.' Jung-hyuk noticed that before others, though not surprised. He had fought a disaster of that caliber on his own.
But, the battle was not over yet. They still had one more Disaster to kill.
"Sorry for being late," Haru said glancing at them.
"N-No it wasn't anything." Taken aback by his dry tone Hee-won looked around. But, no one tried to diffuse the tense atmosphere.
She thought that he'd come back with a smile like always. Not like this. It gave her a bad feeling. Even then she turned her gaze on their goal.
"Now that you are back, we can save her no doubt." The trust she had in him didn't die. Now that their leader came back, everything was possible.
"…" Yet, he stayed silent.
[Kukuku, why don't tell them that you can save her?] Even with that provocation, Haru maintained his silence. Which made his laughter louder. Paul enjoyed every bit of it.
'No way…' Dok-ja couldn't believe it either. There shouldn't be an issue with their plan unless he missed something.
"Fucking hell!" Kanae cursed as a blow struck her side. What pissed her off more was Paul's mocking behavior.
In the end, they'll have to kill the Beast Lord. Even with Haru around their chances of saving her didn't increase. She understood that much.
"Queresha, do it," Haru said. He took his step forward and deflected the fist that aimed for his head.
"I understand." She said as the Young Yoo-sung clung to her.
He made the choice and she moved to support it.
"Lightning—Disperse!" At her words, purple lightning covered the Beast Lord.
The small anchors on her body that homed the spells before now released all the stored energy into the body. Lightning equivalent to a hundred spells ran through her.
The Beast Lord's body froze. This time it didn't matter if she could resist the pain or not. The lightning made its way to her pressure points and overloaded her body muscles to the point that it caused serious damage to her nervous system. This drove her into a state of paralysis and stiffness to prevent any sort of control.
"Hac—k!!" She spat out blood as her knees struck the floor.
[Finally… I can… die... I don't want to…] Dok-ja heard her voice. He bit his lips, was there nothing they could do?
'No, there has to be something… someway to help.' He wanted to step forward, but Jung-Hyuk grabbed him.
"Don't make this any harder than it already is." His words made Dok-ja Grit his teeth. Since it came from him he couldn't deny them.
"You can rest now Yoo-sung." And as Haru's calm voice landed in his ear he heard the blade tear through the flesh. The last thing he saw was a small smile on her lips as her body hit the ground.
However, that wasn't the end of it.
"Hey! Kid! Get a hold of yourself!" Hee-won rushed towards the young Yoo-sung. She was out cold in Queresha's arms.
Her body suddenly went limp. After all, she witnessed her older version die. It must've messed with her head real bad. But, the moment she touched her body Hee-won's eyes widened.
She looked at Queresha, but she shook her head.
"Damn it…" A low growl felt her throat. Her nails dug into the palm and brew blood. This wasn't right.
"Is everyone here alright?" Sang-Ah rushed into the area.
The Beast wave has stopped everyone made it to the center. Jin-ah, Alea, and Seol-Hwa went straight towards Queresha.
No one said a word but the silence gave them the answer. Shin Yoo-sung died, not the older one, but the younger one too.
[You could've prevented that, you know?] Paul came down. He hovered in front of Haru with a smirk.
[If you idiots didn't think so highly of yourself, the young kid wouldn't have died. This is what happens when you get a big head and don't listen to the powerful.] He enjoyed this moment more than he expected. He won after all.
[The Constellation 'Noble Child of The Sun' is furious.]
[The Constellation 'Demonic Judge of Fire' has rushed out of her room.]
[The Constellation 'Goddess of Love and Beauty' wants to console you.]
[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is unhappy with the excessive intervention.]
[The Constellation 'Queen of The Darkest Springs' sends her condolences.]
[The Constellation 'Humanity's Strongest Hero' closes his eyes.]
[The Constellation 'The First Who Doesn't Know Consent' is snickering.]
.

[Many constellations of the Korean Peninsula are looking at you with complicated feelings.]
[110,000 coins have been sponsored.]
Even with his vision covered with the panels, he didn't look at them. His eyes landed on Paul who stood beyond it.
"Where is the Scenario's reward?" Haru asked.
[Yeah yeah, I'll give it to you. After all you guys surely deserve it.] Paul scoffed at the glares he received. It didn't matter what low-tier Gravel thought. He got his revenge and also successfully acted out his plan.
'Promotion is around the corner now that I have his support. And with this scenario, I have catered to a big audience group.' He ignored the negative comments from the handful of Constellations and snapped his finger.
[The Fifth Scenario has come to an end.]
[Rewards are being calculated]
[You have received 100,000 coins.]
[The power of Fables stirs within your body.]
[A new Fable is about to be born.]
[You're not going to celebrate even with such a generous reward? Or is it that you can't comprehend the value of what you got?] Paul jeered.
But, he didn't lie. This was indeed a huge reward. A new fable and it would most likely be related to dragons. That would help him a lot down the line.
But, the current mood had hit rock bottom.
'This is no time to celebrate…' Dok-ja could feel it too.
He was beyond shocked when the younger Yoo-sung died. This wasn't supposed to happen. According to the theory, the younger one(past) should've been safe. Even Shin Yoo-sung(Beast lord) said so, so why? Why did she die?
'Did he know?' His eyes went to Haru, he stood in front of Paul. With the way he made that move, his awareness wasn't unfounded. In a way, even Jung-hyuk seemed to know.
However, neither has said any words till now, but then Haru spoke.
"There will be a celebration alright. But after I see through a few things," His declaration caused a stir within the people present. How would they celebrate in this situation?
[Oh, are you going to seek revenge? It seems like you haven't learned your lesson yet.] Paul laughed at the foolishness, [How many more lives will it take for you to understand that you are—?!" His words got stuck in his throat.
The Beast Lord stood in front of his eyes. Her body was back to normal and there was no trace of any stab that took her life.
"W-What…?" Even she was as shocked as everyone else.
