Chapter 119 Choice of Five Elements

Familiar places, familiar faces.

it’s a bad dream

yes this is a dream

The situation before the return was replayed before my eyes, so I thought it was a dream.

Seeing the event from a third person perspective was so unrealistic.

death and anger.

Emotions that I thought were all over came to the surface again.

The sounds around me were deafening.

as if you were in water.

And just as Hwang Yi-chan stabbed me, everything turned upside down.

And the battlefield unfolded before my eyes.

Hell too.

Everything burned and demons ran amok.

Humans were helplessly hunted by demons.

Horrible scenes followed one after another, and once again the world turned upside down and darkness unfolded.

I couldn’t feel anything in the deep darkness.

– We finally meet.

Then, a voice was heard.

It was a soft voice.

I wanted to ask who it was, but no voice came out.

-are you okay. I am your guardian who has been watching over you all along.

‘tutelar?’

-Humans seem to call us guardian angels, but we are not angels.

‘We?’

The voice was one, but it spoke as if it were many.

-Yes, we chose you. And I’ve been with you all along.

‘element?’

– As expected, you have a high level of understanding.

I didn’t know what to say, but the being who spoke to me was the element.

-I am the elemental force of light (φῶς).

-I am pur (πῦρ), the element of fire.

-nice to meet you. This is the water element, ὕδωρ.

-Are you feeling us now? It is Anemos (ἄνεμος), the element of wind.

– I have never regretted choosing you for a moment. It is Edaphos (ἔδαφος), the element of earth.

The first soft voice was the element of light.

Each element had a personality in its voice, as if representing its own personality.

‘government ordinance?’

-We are different from spirits. As you understand, they are the basic elements of this world.

If the elements could have a voice, why did they appear before me now?

I was curious about that.

– It’s just about time.

-We always tried to talk.

-Now you are just starting to hear our voices.

‘Then what was the past that unfolded before me? What about war?’

When I asked, the element of light spoke to me as a representative.

-This is how the world unfolded with your death.

Does it have anything to do with my death and the demons spreading their way to hell?

-Yes, no matter how much we choose you, humans are beings with free will. Your choices ultimately failed.

‘But, did you do a regression?’

– It was. So we all got another chance.

I was horrified for a moment.

If that’s the case, does it mean that my death before the return wasn’t just because I was hated by the association, but because it was a real plot of darkness plotted by the demons?

-We tried again and again to make you realize it, but each time we failed.

-Hmm, if this is fate, then it must be fate. Who would have guessed?

The elemental fire said in a voice full of displeasure.

‘Didn’t you guys make the choice in the first place?’

Do you know that I have nothing to say?

I also have a lot of complaints.

If he hadn’t been chosen by an element, wouldn’t he have had to hate the demons?

If so, I might have lived a normal life.

-However, this choice is not unique to us.

-Yes, you are also chosen. Do you know what makes contracts so reckless? It’s an agreement between the two parties.

Well, because I also needed strength back then.

If I had known in advance that it was this kind of power, I might have avoided it.

Even then, my number one priority was the safety of me, Minyoung, and my family.

‘I’m not the hero you think. I can’t help it even if I think it’s selfish.’

spoke clearly.

I have no intention of becoming a hero.

I have no intention of making any sacrifices.

The reason I want to fight the demons is not that grandiose.

It was a personal reason to protect me and my people.

-However, it cannot be denied that the reason is leading you to the path of a hero.

-Yes, human. You say no, but you were born with the qualities of a hero. your destiny is

‘So what’s the real reason why you appear in front of me and talk like that?’

It seemed that the elements ultimately wanted something from me.

‘Is it the salvation of the world? Is it a sweep of demons? Become a hero?’

– That’s your freedom. What we really want… … .

wake up!

I couldn’t hear what the element of light was saying because of the faintly overlapping sounds.

-It’s already time. We will meet again.

‘So what do you want?’

Let me know what you have to tell me!

– Write us appropriately. That’s what we want.

After that, a bright light began to shine in the darkness.

At the same time, my upper body jumped up without my knowledge.

“Seojun!”

Were you lying down?

It seemed like he knew he had woken up.

My gaze turned to the ceiling because of Minyoung who was hugging me.

I saw a pure white ceiling with LED lights embedded everywhere.

Feeling the tingling sensation, I lowered my gaze and saw the needle stuck in the back of my hand over Minyoung’s shoulder.

“Are you really okay? Do you know how worried I was?”

Minyoung touched my cheek and cried as if she had no intention of letting go.

I took Minyoung’s hand and calmed him down.

“I’m okay. you? Aren’t you hurt?”

“Yes, I am fine.”

Only then did Minyoung sit on the bed, away from me, and her face was covered with tears.

I looked around and saw no one else.

“What about the others?”

“Everyone is in the conference room.”

“Where are you?”

“When you were down, Lucas arrived. This is our temporary headquarters in Virginia.”

I remember.

Lucas, who collapsed and ran towards us, was also in a state of disrepair.

“How many days have I been lying down?”

When I asked, Minyoung raised her finger.

“Three days.”

You’ve been lying down for quite some time

For a moment, I thought of a wound and touched my shoulder.

“uh? hurt?”

The place where it is normal to have a hole in it was fine.

However, the scars from the fire were still there.

“I healed. Still, the scars remain.”

“are you okay. Rather, it is better to have scars.”

“what? What do you like about it?”

“On the other hand, I will make you a teacher.”

will never forget

Garcian’s ranking was 25th.

That meant there were still more great guys waiting.

“Everything is fine, but please don’t overdo it.”

Minyoung touched my cheek again and said.

Our faces were closer than ever.

Her pretty face filled my eyes.

I remembered the story I had with the elements.

to write it properly.

I’ve said it around, but I’m guessing you want me to be a hero.

But, as I said before, I don’t want to be a hero.

However, I will protect as much as this woman who is now putting her face in front of me.

If left alone, the demons will spread the sword of hell as they saw in their dreams.

I’ll lose my people in the process.

I will not run away from a fight that has already been set.

The reason I fight is for myself and Minyoung.

“don’t worry. never overdo it And never give up.”

When Minyoung’s breath felt closer, the door to the hospital room hurriedly opened.

“Seojun! woke up… … oh?”

“Minyoung sister! Seojun hyung, did you wake up? Wow! Oops!”

The people who entered were Suyeon and Hyuk.

Soo-yeon covered Hyuk’s eyes and mouth and dragged him out.

“I didn’t see it! I don’t know anything. You don’t even know anything!”

Beyond the door, the voices of Soo-yeon and Hyuk grew farther and farther away.

Minyoung and I looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

“Then, let’s go. The captain asked me to let you know when you wake up.”

Minyoung got up and hurriedly left the hospital room.

I grabbed Minyoung’s arm.

“are you okay. Stay by my side.”

“what?”

“Sooyeon saw it. So I will tell you.”

Lately, I haven’t had much time alone.

I wanted to be alone with the two of us.

*

After a while, Lucas and his friends came to the hospital room.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, what happened?”

“actually… … .”

Lucas told me about what had happened earlier.

“I lost a lot of lives because of him. Only a few, including me and Andrew, barely survived.”

I think it was possible because Garcian’s goal was me.

If it wasn’t for that, Lucas and the others would have been annihilated on the spot.

“Lucas’ ability is also fraudulent. Regeneration.”

“Because it is a characteristic that hormones and cells are specialized for.”

In particular, Lucas’ ability seems to have played a part in his survival.

“That’s why I went right away to inform you of the danger and help you. By the way, the situation has already ended.”

Lucas ended his speech with an expression of regret.

“I really wanted to avenge my colleagues with my own hands… … Thank you though.”

“The fight with the demons is not over yet.”

“That’s right, so I was planning a plan. Your allied guilds have also arrived.”

Allied guilds must have arrived during the three days of lying down.

Lucas then shared the agenda from the meeting.

In the meantime, the most serious places in the US area have been cleared.

All that was left was to end the fighting by dividing.

If it took longer, the damage to civilians would have been too great.

The result was an all-out war.

“I thought of guerrillas, but I’d rather gather troops than that, so I decided to wage an all-out war.”

“In a way, it could be a skirmish.”

“I guess so.”

It was going to be a battle with demons on Earth before going to the Demon World.

“Hunters from other countries also decided to help. They are coming here.”

“Have demons appeared in other countries?”

It was the first news I heard because I couldn’t know the information of the world.

“I heard that our fight started in various ways here and there.”

I didn’t know the details, but it seemed that the existence of demons was definitely imprinted on the hunters.

Nonetheless, the hunters who made contracts with the demons or who were enticed by them and denied the existence of the demons became our enemies and had to shoot at each other.

“Then when is the showdown?”

“I’ll go as soon as you’re ready.”

“Me?”

“Because the center of this operation is you, Yoo Seo-jun.”

Was I that important?

It seemed that the captain regarded my skills as the main force and placed them due to this incident.

Perhaps, the thoughts of Director Jack, who received the report, were also included.

And then, the heads of the alliance guilds came in.

“To see you in a hospital bed as soon as you arrive.”

“who is this! Someone made our Seojun like this!”

“Grandma, don’t make a fuss! They said they fought against demons!”

“Old young man, do you want to die to me before the demons?”

As expected, as soon as these three get together, they fight.

Have you ever lost an enemy in your previous life?

“By the way, what was the suit design you sent me the other day? Do you really have to wear it?”

Danny Ahn asked about the suit with a serious expression.

“Without it, it would be difficult to breathe in the Demon Realm.”

“Why do you think I’m cool? I can show off my body very well. Ho ho ho. I never thought I would have thought of something like that.”

“Don’t be a little weird with your interpretation.”

“Ho-ho-ho, that’s my heart.”

Everyone was embarrassed by the blood demon’s words and actions, but steelworker Kim Do-gyeong asked in a serious voice.

“By the way, how strong are the demons? Do you have any weaknesses?”

Everyone was silent and focused on me.

The demons had one weakness.

“At least two S-rank hunters have to rush in to deal with the top-notch demons. Their weakness is divine power.”

“Divine power?”

“So when forming a group, you must include hunters who use divine power. That way we can increase our survival rate.”

From noble mtl dot com

Not all healers have the ability to use divine power.

While there were people who specialized in buffs or debuffs, there were also those who had the characteristics of a paladin like Onin.

The weapons used were also different.

“Right. Hey, Garam. Are there any kids in our guild who use divine power?”

In response to Kim Do-kyung’s question, Ga-ram Baek, the steel guild’s assistant, said.

“It could be. They were all thugs.”

It seems that the rumor that the gang led by Kim Do-kyung became a guild was true.

“Yoo Seo-jun, when can you wake up?”

In response to Danian’s question, I used mana to examine my body.

Minor wounds had already healed and his stamina was normal.

I summoned five elements.

The elements that appeared in front of my eyes floated up in five colors of light.

“It is beautiful.”

Lee Seo-hyeon, the horseman of the Mage Tower, who was quiet, looked at the elements with a surprised face and said,

Our party must have seen it a lot, but others will be unfamiliar with it.

When I was unconscious, it became easier to deal with the elements than before, perhaps because the conversation with the elements had an effect.

“It can happen right away.”

Answering Danian’s question, he sent the five elements through the open window and exploded them like fireworks.

The five lights blended together to beautifully illuminate the night sky.

The people gathered in the hospital room were all in awe of it.

pop!

The demon’s attack made a roar and the asphalt flew in chunks and stuck into the building.

If the firecrackers we saw in the hospital room were beautiful, the black light exploding in front of us now seemed to swallow everything into darkness.

“Get your mind right!”

“Focus on the demons!”

Urgent shouts were heard everywhere.

in the heart of Washington.

The White House was on fire, and the disaster I had seen in my dreams was unfolding.

Demons attacked people without distinction.

Like the previous training, the people divided into groups to deal with the demons.

Only after the demons turned into demons did the unbelievers return to us.

I didn’t belong to the group.

It was my mission to deal with the demons that the members couldn’t handle.

“be careful!”

He swung his sword, warning our guild members who were exposed to the attack of the mid-level demons.

The rainbow-colored aura from my sword cut the mid-level demon in half.
