Chapter 646: Doom Hyunsung (2)

“Who are you?”

“…”

At the moment, I felt like my eyes were dead, but I got goosebumps, so I quickly opened my mouth.

It was definitely a misleading statement.

“No, I’m asking who you are right now.”

I spoke out in a hurry, but I still saw a dark face. However, I felt like he looked a little better than before.

Perhaps he was thinking about whether I was really losing my memory. It seemed that he understood what I meant only after listening to what I said.

Since I used lines that I would use if I were myself, he probably thought that it was okay for Lee Kiyoung to misunderstand.

I thought it wouldn’t be bad to just push ahead with the memory loss secret, but it was regrettable that I couldn’t use it for the time being.

No, I couldn’t even use the memory loss gimmick anymore. I couldn’t make his mind even more confused.

“…”

“I’m…”

“…”

“I’m Kim Hyunsung, the same person that Kiyoung knows… Yes, I understand your confusion. I don’t think you’re used to it. You don’t look very comfortable. I understand it’s an abomination.”

‘It’s not that I’m not used to it, but you look like a real psycho…’

His whole body was stained with blood. His eyes were red, and most of all, he had a lot of dirt on him.

“But if you listen to me, I’m sure you’ll understand… I didn’t have to carry any burden in the first place. They’re the enemies.”

‘Who are they?’

“Those who regressed me, and those that Kiyoung is following, are unnecessary. They don’t sacrifice anything. They’re just forcing responsibility and deceiving people with sweet words. Of course, it’s against Kiyoung’s faith, but we don’t have to fight for them… I just realized that.”

‘The Kim Hyunsung I knew wouldn’t say that.’

I wanted to say that to him, but I felt too weak.

‘Did you sell yourself to the devil?’

Asking that directly also didn’t seem like a good option.

Whenever it was ambiguous, it was best not to say anything. I pushed his wings once again, but Hyunsung was too strong.

‘Come on, you sh*t.’

“They’re eating Kiyoung up little by little. They’re bringing ordinary people to the continent, testing them, and pushing them to the edge of the cliff. Raphael is also just a means to seduce Kiyoung. They seduce people by saying that the gods have chosen them, then they give them unbearable responsibility, weighing them down. They give hope and courage, but as a result, they can’t be held responsible for anything. Kiyoung doesn’t have to work for the continent. All you have to do is think about yourself. We shouldn’t have shared it in the first place. From the beginning… I shouldn’t have shared the burden. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t be leaning on you.”

‘That’s not it.’

“If I hadn’t gone too far, You wouldn’t have been this sick, and you would have remembered… You wouldn’t have lost my memory.”

“How…”

“They’re not even responsible for their choices. Kiyoung doesn’t need to help those who just push you to the brink of death endlessly. The light did not betray us. They weren’t even on our side in the first place.”

“That’s why I chose…”

‘Is that what this is about?’

“It was an inevitable choice.”

“…”

‘You crazy crow, get ready to get stabbed in the back of your head one day.’

To be honest, it was hard to refute what Kim Hyunsung said.

‘They are a bunch of insane beings. To be honest, it’s right to think they’re ridiculous.’

Although it was said that it wasn’t their will that we got sent to the continent, it was also undeniable that Kim Hyunsung had been pushed to the limit.

They passed on their burdens that they didn’t want to carry and left all responsibility to humans with one excuse: they couldn’t interfere.

Of course, I understood. The continent was where we lived in the first place and the land we had to take responsibility for.

However…

‘If the outer god is the main villain, the story is different.’

Maybe empowering, choosing, and forcing individuals to fight because of the need to stop threats was already beyond humanity’s jurisdiction.

It was obvious, even without Kim Hyunsung’s monologue. He was losing his memory while dedicating himself to the continent.

He might’ve felt that was unreasonable, a curse, and a punch. The kidnapping was also caused by the Holy Sword, which the gods issued.

Maybe everything Kim Hyunsung said was what he had always wanted to say.

It was inevitable that the figure of the man who cried out not to force him to take responsibility would come back to my mind.

‘In the meantime…’

Perhaps Kim Hyunsung’s ethics and tendency to be a good-intentioned mediator were holding him back. I liked that the Doom Hyunsung incident was out of the box, but that wasn’t the situation I wanted.

‘So, working for Lucifer?’

It was a bad choice. It was so ridiculous I almost laughed.

‘Yes, it doesn’t seem very important to her.’

How could I know how many continents Lucifer managed? The small continent we were at might had been just one of the dozens she had control over.

I was grateful that she valued Kim Hyunsung and me higher than the realm itself, but it wasn’t good news for me, who had something to achieve in it.

Perhaps it was not a good situation for Belial, either.

Nobody wouldn’t want to slit open the golden goose’s belly, even if Lucifer had something to get from it.

No, I was sure. Belial wouldn’t like the situation either.

“I’ve accomplished a lot… And you want me to leave this behind?”

“…”

‘Don’t talk about dog sh*t. I’ll never do that. You think I’m going to let Lucifer take away what is mine?’

I thought that he would come to his senses if I punched him with all I had once, but I couldn’t do that because my fist would be broken.

I tapped my thighs and bit my lips, but I couldn’t think of a way out of the situation.

I didn’t know how long Benignore would be trapped in the corner. I wasn’t even sure if they were aware that the regressor they entrusted was in such a dark state.

“What about other people?”

“That’s their problem.”

“And those who believe in me?”

“That’s not our problem either. Kiyoung doesn’t have to take responsibility.”

‘Our Hyunsung, sh*t… You’ve fallen.’

“The Blue Guild?”

“We’ll save them.”

‘I like that.’

If there was one thing I felt was okay, it was that he was doing all of that because of me.

Even if Kim Hyunsung turned into Doom Hyunsung…

‘Not much has changed.’

There was a big change in his appearance and eyes, but at least there was no change in the fact that he cared for Lee Kiyoung. I was nervous because I thought he had turned completely evil, but I was relieved by the distorted appearance like an adolescent boy for a moment.

Of course, it wouldn’t look like that to anyone else…

To me, Doom Hyunsung was only a young man who was experiencing confusion during stormy times.

It was natural to judge that he was shaken, but he couldn’t hurt me. Just being sane was more than enough to get the kid back to his original state.

Kim Hyunsung was still himself, though he became tougher than usual.

“Get out of the way.”

“…”

“Move.”

“I didn’t think you’re going to do this…”

“I said move.”

He bit his lips tightly, but with his dark eyes, he stepped out of my way. I ran inside pretending nothing was wrong, but the way Kim Hyunsung looked at me bothered me.

He didn’t want to move because he didn’t want to show me all the blood and innards that had splattered across the room.

However, the fact that he didn’t stop me seemed to be trying to show that he had changed that much.

After rushing inside, I had no choice but to check Raphael’s condition immediately. I’d already lost it, but if I could use it again, it would only be right to do so.

‘Stay alive.’

Honestly, I didn’t know if he could make a comeback, but he was still breathing for the time being. I tried using divine power, but there wasn’t any reaction.

The whole body was tattered, and he was in a half-dead state, so honestly, it was a miracle that he was still breathing. The same went for the others.

Their conditions were concerning, but at least they were still alive.

‘I really don’t know if I can use them.’

“We were colleagues.”

“They were enemies, and they were trying to harm Kiyoung. I was just trying not to get buried in the first round.”

“It started with a minor misunderstanding. They’re not guilty.”

“…”

As I turned my head slightly, Kim Hyunsung’s murderous eyes were reflected in my vision.

If I hadn’t appeared, wouldn’t they have stopped breathing right away? No, even at that moment, I could see that he was still thinking of killing them.

The only reason why he couldn’t move was that I was present.

“Don’t worry about them anymore. They’re coming with us.”

“I won’t go.”

It was a little scary, but it was right to act cute for the time being. I didn’t want to go to Lucifer’s side in the same mood.

“I’ll take you by force.”

‘What are you going to do, you sh*t? What are you going to do?’

I shouldn’t allow the initiative to be taken away. Hence, I shouldn’t be scared and rather had to show a confident reaction.

Although Doomed Hyunsung sold himself to the darkness, he was still himself.

He wouldn’t do anything to me. He used to believe that even our souls were best friends. A person who had never had a relationship like what we had couldn’t hurt me.

Even if Lucifer controlled him, I was the boss of our relationship.

‘What are you going to do, huh? Kim Hyunsung, what are you going to do? You’re making such a scary face, but can you act on your words? I know you’re acting. Sh*t.’

“Forcefully…”

‘Are you going to hit me? Sh*t. Hit me then. Make me faint. Knock me out and drag me to Lucifer. Hit me! Kill me! Instead, just know this. If you touch me, our relationship is over.’

“Action…”

‘Take me out. It’s not that hard. Hit me! Let’s get down to business today. I told you to hit me quickly.’

“If you don’t obey me, forcefully… I won’t warn you twice. I’m serious. I’m serious.”

‘Sh*t, did you raise your hand? Did you really raise your hand? Really? Are you really going to hit me? Are you going to hit me?’

“No matter how Kiyoung is…”

‘Yeah, sh*t, I’ve been feeding, making money, and everything for you, and this is how you repay me? You’ve fallen, and you can’t think properly, right? Then hit me! Kill me! Break me apart! I already beat others down while I was in Doom Kiyoung state, so why can’t you beat me now?’

“Don’t test my patience.”

‘I’m not testing you. Destroy me until I’m half-dead. You didn’t put mana in your hand, did you?’

“Really…”

‘Yeah, I’m telling you to hit me. Do it already.’

“Just kill me.”

‘Because light never gives in to darkness.’

Sh*t, that was cool.

“I can’t kill you…”

‘Is that so?’

“Kill me.”

‘I’m going to be martyred. Sh*t. Kill me! I want me to be considered a martyr.’

Kim Hyunsung’s big swing of his hand reflected in my vision. I crouched just in case he really hit me, but fortunately, he hit the wall instead.

BAAAAAANG!

One side of the wall collapsed with the sound of an explosion.

“There’s no way I’m going to kill you.”

That was right.

“I can’t kill you.”

I could still turn him around.

Such thoughts passed through my head.
