Chapter 834: The Last (67)

I didn’t even know how to explain the way he was staring at me, as if asking if he could do this.

He would definitely know. In order to continue this storytelling, there was no way that he didn’t know what he needed to do or what position he needed to take.

That action had to have been the result of that.

—Uughh… uuugh…

“Be strong! Not everyone believed in the demon summoner story! Everyone is cheering for you! We’re waiting for you to return to normal! Is… Is there anything… I can do to help?”

—Ughh… damn… Get out of m-m-my head… this… de… dem…

Nevertheless, looking at him, it seemed as if he wasn’t confident in his actions. He was sending a silent question asking if it was the right thing to do, and he looked strangely anxious.

‘Gosh, I’m going to go crazy. Why is he so bad at acting?’

He was even worse than Dialugia. At least she reached the high point in her career with the plague dragon, so comparing them was pointless.

I didn’t know how someone usually good at hiding his emotions could act so bad, but its quality was so poor that it was hard to say something. A maggot-like sentiment made me feel like I was wasting the cast and the story. I even gave him the title of Hero of the Shadows and Shadow Hero…

‘Focus. Don’t be shy and focus. Fuck. Is this a joke? Does this look like a joke? Do you know how many things are at stake here?’

It would have been better to save this scenario for something else. I shouldn’t have brought out the Shadow Hero in the first place.

With this, I looked at Han Sora with an urgent expression.

Even in the eyes of camera director Han Sora, who had built up filming techniques through her experiences, the present moment seemed like a crisis.

Eventually, she bit her lip and moved the hand mirror here and there.

It wasn’t only to convey the scene’s urgency, but also to hide Jin Qing’s awkwardness.

‘You know that noise should be added to this sound, right?’

She needed to add some demon voices. The way she handled it on her own was already that of a pro. It got better due to various special effects, but it still couldn’t cover the awkwardness.

In all honesty, it would have been better if it had been a little simpler setup.

What if it was storytelling that did not require acting skills and emotional lines?

—Ugh… I won’t lose.

‘What do you mean you won’t lose? What in the world? What? Are you saying that you won’t lose like that?’

The fact that my screenplay was becoming rubbish made me tap my thighs unconsciously. If it weren’t for Park Deokgu, who was trying to help Jin Qing in any way, it would have been ruined.

“H-Hyung-nim! This…”

“Commander! Keep your pride!”

—Ugh… Pfff… Hahaha…

“Isn’t the demon trying to come out? How should I… The demon that took everything from Jin Qing is coming out! Hyung-nim! Don’t we have to save him? I can’t let the Shadow Hero who secretly protected the continent be eaten by the demon like this again!”

—Damn… damn… Sh*t… Lee Kiyoung…

‘That emotion just now was good.’

—Ugh… no one… can stop me.

I didn’t know why his lines had to be so uncreative.

“No. You can overcome it. I’ll be with you, and The Vice Guild Master also said that. The light that creates the shadow is very small, but it shines brighter than anything else.”

When one shouted out these lines, they’d usually have to be confident in themselves.

The reason why lines that seemed to come out of a cheap novel gave them strength was their emotion. We were really risking our lives. Hence, we had to focus on this.

People were watching because this was a real situation, and we could really die.

Of course, Hyejin’s appearance was the completion of her acting.

Still, she shouldn’t be ashamed of herself. If the person who did it was ashamed, the person who saw it would also feel the same way. He had to be a little more daring.

I tried to advise by continuing to supply some cringe-worthy lines, but the CPR was already impossible.

In the end, thinking there was no other way than to go on like this, my mouth tasted bitter.

It was then that the director made a bold decision.

‘Whoa.’

She lowered the lens and started illuminating the dummy world.

I could see the huge demon forces striding towards the few remaining humans.

With nowhere to retreat, the Army of Light was united as one, preparing to meet the demons.

—Go ahead. A… Army of demons.

Since we started shooting in super close-up, it didn’t feel like a children’s toy.

It felt like we weren’t playing a game but fighting a war in another dimension.

No other voices could be heard, but the battlefield mixed with sound effects was enough to fill the continent’s people with fear.

“You must win, Army of Light! Victory in this battle is the only way to save you from the darkness.”

—D-do you think it will go your way… just give up…

“I will never give up on you. It’s not just us. The people of the Republic, the heroes of the State that are currently fighting, and all those who have defended the continent will not give up on you.”

—Damn… why me… damn…

“Let’s go, Army of Light!”

A huge beam of light poured down.

[The named entity of the human faction, Kim Hyunsung, smiles brightly. He says he knew you were watching and asks to fight the last battle together. The Sunset Swordsman is nervous because he doesn’t know how this story will end, but he says he’ll follow the player if you desire it.]

‘You bastard, what should I do with this bug? Jihye. You could’ve made some corrections when creating it. It’s nice to use the dummy world like this too, though.’

It would be good to try out a few experiments.

[Named entity Kim Hyunsung of the human faction shouts out.]

[The forces of the human faction express surprise. Everyone is encouraged by the bright glow. Their troops do not seek advice from the player. Instead, they say it’s the last battle. A battle of pure light and darkness will begin. They give a cheering warcry, beat their shields, and sung a song of victory for the final battle.]

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s go! We’re saving the Commander!”

[The demon faction moves, emitting sounds like the howling of the earth. The human faction does not tremble in fear. They shout that the warm light from the sky will guide them on the way they should go.]

—Kill them. Kill… kill them all!

‘You’re not serious, right?’

[The final battle begins! It will forever remain in the history of this continent!]

The sight of demons engulfed in darkness and an army engulfed in light colliding with each other was so wonderful that it was hard to say something.

Paladins screamed and resisted the demons, and the undeads bit back at the infantry until the very end. It was far from a battle of tactics and strategy. They were actually desperate enough for it to be called a pure clash of darkness and light.

If I hadn’t known it was a dummy world, it would have been a battle that would make my hand sweat quite a bit.

Of course, I didn’t have anything to say about the reaction of the continent’s people looking at this. Battles and wars were taking place all over the continent.

Some were fighting, and some were not, but they all felt the same all in all.

They believed that light would triumph, that darkness would eventually kneel before light. They believed that they could get through this crisis once again.

-Please… Please.

-Do not lose! Sh*t! Give them hell!

-The Son of Light is with you.

Citizens were seen praying everywhere. Those who were fighting were also expecting victory in the above battle.

-Don’t give up! People of the State! Behold, the forces of light pushing the demon army away! We, too, will triumph with them! The Son of Light is watching over us!

-Let’s stay strong. Don’t be afraid, everyone, and look up to the sky! Our comrades who protected the continent together are also bleeding on other battlefields. Our victories will be of great strength to them.

Of course, I didn’t have to tell them that this was fake, considering the effect was great.

It was a fight that gave hope and courage to everyone. It was so noble that it inspired them.

There was no fear in the eyes of the dummies of light, though the situation was desperate.

Their belief that the gods would watch over them was so deep that they were willing to give their lives up.

“Commander.”

—…

“Get back to your senses, Commander.”

—Ugh…

“You are the only one who can end this war. The Vice Guild Master also said so.”

—I…

It’s a bit frustrating that he still wasn’t focused.

However, the situation was so good that it seemed to undermine his acting skills.

He glanced at the Republic people who were praying and those who were giving him strength.

I watched him reflexively grabbing his head when he saw the light.

The detail of his body reflexively responding to it was good, but there seemed to be a limit to him expressing it.

As much as I was good at emitting brilliance, I slowly started injecting its effect coming out of him.

Seemingly thinking it was about the right time, he spoke with a red face.

—I… I won’t lose. I will not succumb to malice!

“…”

It was a bit awkward that he said that while looking at me, but the emotion was good.

—I am Jin Qing of the Republic. Why should I succumb to something like this?

But his line was too sloppy. It sounded so old. Of course, I wasn’t saying the classics were bad…

No, rather, the classics were good. Still, I didn’t know if it was because of his delivery, but it was a bit awkward to watch him introducing himself as Jing Qing of the Republic…

I had to accept it, though.

“Yes. You are Jin Qing. You are Jin Qing, who has been fighting a demon all your life and wanting to protect the continent even if it means your death!”

—I am Jin Qing of the Republic. Damn… damn!

A huge light struck the forces of the demon.

The splendid sight where the illumination broke down all darkness was so beautiful that words couldn’t describe it.

[The human faction witnesses a miracle. Most of the troops shed tears as the light comes down to their side. The demon faction begins to disappear, weakening their power. Jung Jinho laughs as if it is a pity, but he said he’s sure there’ll be another chance. Kim Hyunsung looks up at the sky. He closes his eyes quietly as he stretches out his hands while looking at the pouring light.]

“Commander…”

—No… No one can defile my pride… I… I won’t succumb to malevolence.

[Humanity drives out the demons, which are crumbling on their own. The radiant light of today will remain in their hearts forever.]

“…”

[Everyone cheers, and the battle ends.]

And…

“Huh?”

I started to feel my body floating upwards.

“Huh…”

When I opened my eyes, a space filled with silence entered my eyes.

“Ah…”
