Chapter 708: Soulmate (7)

I couldn’t figure out why the story of the masked trash of the first round kept being shown to me. The sensation that made my head spin was confusing as well.

I opened my eyes and looked at Kim Hyunsung and Thronus, but it seemed like the screens had now been intermingled.

Kim Hyunsung kept swinging his sword, and the alcoholic pigeon blocked his attacks. The surrounding landmarks were visibly losing their shape since everything was exploding in all directions.

The problem was that I couldn’t tell which timeline I was in.

‘What is this? Is it the second round now?’

No.

‘I think it just switched to the first round? The second round again?’

I couldn’t tell the first round and the second apart. Scenes were constantly being transmitted to my brain. Should I judge the timelines to be playing the same scene? The two seemed to be having the same fight as in the first round.

The only thing that I could distinguish between the first and the second round was the wings behind Kim Hyunsung’s back. Even that was difficult to determine if it was real.

However, their desperation was clear at the very least.

‘He’s strong.’

In the first round, Kim Hyunsung was strong.

‘How can he be like that?’

He was showing similar movements even without accepting Lucifer’s power. Instead, he seemed faster, like a very well-forged sword.

Kim Hyunsung in the first timeline deftly reminded me of that. Without cumbersome wings or dark power, he stood up against one of those called the Four Archangels.

The alcoholic pigeon fighting against Kim Hyunsung wasn’t an easy opponent either.

‘You say Thronus is the weakest among the four angels?’

That was complete and utter nonsense.

At least it felt like that to my eyes. Thronus was strong. His swordsmanship was significant enough to be comparable to Kim Hyunsung, or even more than that.

The way he utilized his long sword made me worried that it would feel too much for Hyunsung. He certainly seemed different from ordinary angels.

He was different from Cherubim, who was fighting Cha Hee-ra, and Dominions, who was bound with Lee Jihye. What he was using was certainly human abilities, but he had never learned from anyone. Hence, I thought he would have learned it himself.

The angel who admired human beings learned human skills as a result and had risen to the stage. I thought the scene I witnessed of the first timeline was most likely after he developed his strength.

Baaaaaaaaang!!!

Craaaaash!

Crack!!

The two didn’t talk, both in the first round and the second round. They could’ve provoked each other to shake their minds, but the bastards seemed to prefer just swinging their swords in silence.

If it were me, I would have taunted my opponent all I wanted. I couldn’t decipher if the two swordsmen communicated with their weapons, but what was certain was that their battle was undoubtedly becoming longer - and Thronus had the upper hand.

‘Is Hyunsung losing?’

My vision was switched entirely to the first timeline, and I immediately noticed Kim Hyunsung’s face getting stiffer. This was after Thronus introduced a new swordsmanship technique.

Of course, I didn’t know what kind of skill that bastard was using or what the hell he was doing in the first place. Nonetheless, I still noticed it because of the image he exhibited, which seemed like the stars were falling. I couldn’t really determine if that was the case, but it felt like that.

Though Kim Hyunsung was in a hurry to stop him, he eventually pulled away and tried to take a breather, but the alcoholic pigeon naturally didn’t let him. Instead, it only caused the battlefield they used to expand.

The terrain changed as a result of their clashes. If I showed before and after photos, most people would probably respond that they couldn’t believe it was real.

With a single swing of Thronus’s sword, the trees were cut into chunks, and Kim Hyunsung, who was sent flying, broke through the abandoned building several times, hitting its multiple walls before losing enough backward momentum to stop.

Boooooooom!!

Hit in the face, Thronus was blown away from a ruined city, and their stage changed into the nearby forest.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

It was now getting even bloodier. The angel was red as if blood flowed in his head excessively.

Kim Hyunsung’s left hand looked injured. His whole body was already in tatters. They both looked desperate, but they continued to struggle against each other.

What was a little strange was that Thronus’ body was constantly creaking. I didn’t know if it was the correct expression, but it looked as if he was lagging, or glitching out.

It wasn’t noticeable since it happened in small doses, but he was changing little by little. His movements were different from when they just started in a horrible way.

I didn’t know how to explain it. However, it seemed that Thronus was forcing himself too much. Despite the favorable situation, he continued his excessive barrage.

‘What?’

It was then that Kim Hyunsung’s sword pierced his heart.

The end of the great fight came without notice, and the guy collapsed right away.

This turned out to be the victory of Kim Hyunsung, the lovely regressor.

Kim Hyunsung, whose sword had thrust into his chest, had already reached the limit, causing him to gasp for breath. There was no sense of accomplishment in his eyes. What remained in his expression was a feeling of relief that the long and difficult struggle was finally over.

“Sigh… Sigh… Sigh…”

Kim Hyunsung fell to his side. He got up and walked, only to fall again without being able to take even a few steps.

It wasn’t long before the masked man appeared. He was standing in front of Thronus, who was dying with a sword in his heart.

He was blankly looking at the sky, standing next to the dying guy, giving a strange glance. It was then that a small voice was heard.

“…”

“Am I… going to die like this?”

“Thronus.”

“I guess this is my last battle.”

“Thronus…”

“This… is my last. I never thought there would be an end.”

“…”

“I have never thought much about death. I didn’t give meaning to being born and disappearing. We were born without thinking about it. Still, it’s a shame.”

“…”

“It’s a shame that you, no, we can’t see the world we pictured together. I’m sorry for not keeping my promise. It’s frightening to disappear like this.”

“…”

“It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault that I’ve been defeated and that I’m dying. Your directions were straight as always. I was defeated because I failed to carry out your instructions. I thought it would be possible, but… I couldn’t meet your expectations…”

“Pff… pfff.”

“There was no…”

“Fu… fuhahahaha.”

“… …”

“Fuhhahahahahahahaheheha!”

“What?”

“Moron. Fuhahaha! Stupid bastard. “

“What…”

“Haven’t you caught up yet, stupid pigeon? How can you be so slow? That’s why other pigeons tell you that you are dull.”

“You…”

“You still can’t tell what’s going on, pigeon bastard? You don’t have to be sorry. You don’t have to apologize. This is the situation I’ve been hoping for in the first place. Rather, I’m grateful, Thronus. You did a great job. You got a good finish with a good role.”

“What are you talking… about…”

“I killed you, you stupid pigeon. Kim Hyunsung didn’t kill you. I did.”

“…”

“I never wanted you to win in the first place. You had to die here. You’ve been heeding my instructions to die from the very beginning. Do you understand what I mean? I instructed you to jump into Kim Hyunsung’s arms because I wanted you to be stabbed by his sword. Fuhaha!”

“What are you talking… about…? cough. Cough.”

“You’re way more idiotic than expected, seeing that you can’t understand it even though I explained it so well already. Thronus, I couldn’t have chosen you from the beginning. Idiot. Did you really think I’d leave it to a smelly pigeon?”

“You… you…”

“My interest is why I chose you. A hero who has accomplished his task brilliantly but has fallen exhausted. The one who couldn’t overcome his limits. The one who sacrificed everything he had. The enlightened one. Kim Hyunsung, the hero who failed. Whew… It sounds good. Does it not so? Kim Hyunsung, the failed hero! Kim Hyunsung, the hero who carries all the burdens. It’s not you pigeons that will change the world. This one here will save this place on your behalf.”

“What…”

“What? Did you think I would come here to cry and do some drama? You stupid motherfucker. You idiot. Hahaha. Stupid bastard. Oh! I have to tell you this. Thank you, Thronus. Thank you for dying to Kim Hyunsung. You have become a great experience for him. You gave him confidence and encouraged him to become stronger. Today’s memory will be of great strength to our Hyunsung.”

“Who are you…”

“What? Fuhaha.”

“Who… is the one that… made you that way.”

“This asshole bastard. What bullsh*t is that?”

“Who… Whoever corrupted you that way… who…”

“This is my real personality. I knew you were stupid, but… More importantly, isn’t it time for you to die? As expected, the pigeons must lose their lives. Ptooey.”

“Who made you that way… I’m asking… Sigh… Sigh… Wait. A little bit… If you wait, I’ll…”

“…”

“I’ll be able to save you. I… can … save… you… It’s my… mistake… I should… have… taken care…”

“I didn’t expect this situation.”

“I didn’t… think it would be… like this… Sigh… Sigh…”

“You were a more idiotic pigeon than I thought.”

“Save…”

“You can also cry? You’re not even human…”

“Just a little bit… more… time…”

“Shut up, Thronus. There’s a problem with the scenario because of you. Sh*t. Ah. Damn. Damn… Because of this stupid bastard… from start to finish… ah…”

“Please…”

“I told you to be quiet.”

“…”

“Oh, I can do this. That’s right. I think you’re right, Thronus.”

“…”

“It looks like someone has corrupted me. Actually, I didn’t intend to do this, but I think I was corrupted without my knowledge. I wanted someone to save me, but in the end, no one helped. Everyone turned away from me. It happened because all the people dear to me died, and I, too, had a mental breakdown. I’m sorry, Thronus. I can’t shake off this pitch-black energy. I’ve been beaten by it.”

“Sigh… Sigh…”

“There’s no way I would betray you, Thronus. We are close, and we have a mutual understanding. I still remember the night sky we saw together. It was good. The cold wind was blowing, and the stars were shining. We had a lot of fun talking, didn’t we? Yes, it was fun. Honestly, it was a little boring… No, I mean I had fun too, Thronus.”

“…”

“It’s like we’re soulmates. So… If we meet again, I really want you to save me.”

“…”

“Oh, I have to tell you something important.”

“Sigh… Sigh… Sigh…”

“My name.”

“Sigh…”

“My name is Lee Kiyoung. You have to remember it clearly. My name is Lee Kiyoung.”

“Sigh… Sigh…”

“Lee… Kiyoung…”

“…”

“I guess you’ve run out of time. Rest well, Thronus.”

“…”

“…”

The disgusting masked trash that made me unknowingly nauseous was certainly not me.
