SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

next world.

(1) 1.

The change in the spire occurred around the time when dawn had yet to reach the edge of the earth.

The earth was dark and the son-in-law was quiet.

"Well." prick.

The gray witch who spent the night with me raised her ears.

We are in the midst of darkness, I can't say, but in the midst of silence.

I could even hear the sound of my ears moving.

“I’m calling you.”

The gray spider looked at the spire with her brows narrowed.

"Yes?" "me… … .

is not it.

I'm calling you, lord." “Who are you talking about?”

I followed the gray spider's gaze and looked at the tower.

The huge iron gate was still closed.

There was no sign, no sound, no Uburka who entered to invite surrender or the spiders who decided to surrender, there were none at the door.

“No one sees.”

“I’m already standing at the door.

alone." "......." "I don't know what you can do.

Probably, what you used to fight me was only part of the feeling of fat you had.

But it's the same for you.

You must have seen all the thousand years that I, the mato tower had.”

"indeed." understood.

I nodded my head and relaxed my seat.

"Yes.

It wouldn't be surprising if a spider had a skill to [make the body invisible] and a skill to [remove the presence]." “Your advantage is that you talk quickly.”

“I will go.

What do you have to tell me?”

“[Thank you for staying.

I cringe at the thought of the escaped bastards.

But rather than them, let's curse those bastards who gather outside.]" "Keep it clean." I headed to the spire.

The first headquarters of the tower was surrounded by a moat.

A glass-transparent drawbridge connected the gate and the outside of the gate.

As I climbed the drawbridge, I could see the faint shadows cast like soot on the glass.

“Did you call?”

Someone is standing in front of me.

Even if you can't see it.

"......." The invisible man looked at me for a long time.

“… … Don’t move your lips and use your whole tone.”

Then she said “Don’t be strong.

enough to be heard only by me.

No one can overhear our conversation.”

“It is quite difficult to send a message to a specific person who cannot be seen.”

“Difficult doesn’t mean it’s not impossible.

Do it." I shrugged.

“It’s done.

Even your elders will find it difficult to eavesdrop on this conversation.

Please feel free to speak now." But the Invisible Witch couldn't speak comfortably.

After another long silence, she said, "...are you Uburka's father?" “Oh, that’s fine.”

"……what?" "Instead of asking me if I was the Four Kings, I asked if I was Uburka's parent.

To all of you, Uburka was imprinted as something quite important in some way.

You could call it 'that bastard' or 'pig son' or an anonymity, but I respectfully woo He wrote Burka's name, and for me he said father." I nodded, "It seems that Uburka is persuading him well.

Or maybe he persuaded him well.

But instead of sending a formal envoy to surrender, trying to meet me secretly like this...

means that there is a minor trouble.

Isn't it?" "......." The Invisible was silent for a moment.

"...I heard Uburka's story well, carefully and seriously." "Well." "I heard who you are.

It's been so late to verify whether that statement is true or false..." I tilted my head slightly.

I could feel the tension in the other person's voice.

As if I was afraid of something nearby.

Why was I nervous? "...we didn't stay still.

I dispatched a squadron.

I followed the route that Uburka told me and made contact with the monstrosities.

Four Kings, I have seen the history of what you have done as a god.”

“Why are you so scared?”

"What?" "I'm trembling right now.

I'm afraid.

What's going on?" “What’s going on… are you serious?”

For the first time, the invisible one burst into laughter, not a laugh that was funny, but a laugh that was ridiculous, but "What are you afraid of? Of course he's afraid of you." "Yes?" "In my dream, I saw a thousand elite soldiers under your command in black coats.

I saw thousands of designated warriors and thousands of asuras who would gladly follow you if you asked.

And...

of the figure.”

“……”

“But don’t be afraid? You? If you put your mind to it, you can easily destroy us, destroy the 50th floor and build your own millennial empire?”

The invisible one murmured, "It's going to be crazy." “… … I put the Hamguryung on the investigation team.

Still, most of our children do not know how much of a hunter you are.”

“In short, you are in charge of Headquarters 1.

Are you ready to surrender to us?”

"okay.

But there are conditions.”

Condition.

“What?”

“We are surrendering to you.

king.

only to you.”

A very clear voice rang out.

transparent tone.

It was a voice that announced a decision without any hesitation or hesitation.

“I will never surrender to a mischievous bastard like an anti-magic.”

"......." "Only you treated the races as true friends.

At least, I tried my best to do that.

By convincing not only you, but your colleagues as well.

okay.

I'll admit it.

If it's you, there's a [meaning] for us to lose to you.

But not them!”

The transparent one could not be seen.

But I could tell enough she was pointing over my shoulder, looking at me, and chewing her teeth.

“I wonder if there is at least one innocent person among those who have set foot on this 50th floor! iced coffee.

Sometimes there are those who have committed less sin.

Those kids gladly joined our mato.

okay? King, do you understand? We never get down on our knees in front of those motherfuckers!”

Those were the same words the gray spider had brought out.

“……”

I said after thinking for a moment.

“In other words, the anti-maman people are going to make it completely empty-handed.”

"okay.

They didn't deserve it anyway.

Thanks to you, I was able to raise even a spoon.

I won't give those bastards the illusion that [we won] even by mistake." The transparent witch's words were determined.

"okay.

We didn't live well either.

admit it But only Uburka, you and the warriors of your world can insult us like that! I'll kneel down to you, but not to others.

Never.”

“What did Uburka say?”

“He said [it’s difficult].

And, I suggested that you talk to your father.

The reason I'm here is because of Uburka's recommendation." but.

I guess so.

“… … Happy endings are always difficult.”

"What?" “Keep something precious to yourself.

Whether it be grudges, pride, whatever.

The world is the way it is, not because there are so many people who have nothing more precious than their lives, but because there are so many people who have things more precious than their lives.”

“What are you talking about? … … Preliminary answer? I don't like that." “I was well aware of the things that are important to you.”

I prepared my mind.

“So you don’t have to get down on your knees in front of believers.”

There was a moment It seems you don't believe what I'm saying.

“… … Really?" "Yes.

Open the door, cross the drawbridge, and cross to the lion world.

If you go there, my children will guide you." "......." "But, please cross this drawbridge on foot." I also placed one condition: "It is impossible to just be sent from the spire to the lion world without seeing anything.

If you surrender only to me, if you can't kneel down to the believers, the courtesy and spirit of crossing a drawbridge will be enough.

Show me.”

“I hope… no one will attack us while crossing the drawbridge, right?”

“I am the King.”

I said quietly, "If you know who I am, you know how much weight my name is.

You can trust that promise.”

The invisible one was silent.

“… … great." But in the end he agreed.

I would have had no choice but to nod my head.

Just, really simply, walking across the drawbridge.

Where is the difficulty? Spiders who worked in Headquarters 1 must have crossed the glass drawbridge to get tired of it.

You would think there is nothing difficult.

“Then an hour later.”

"Yes.

Please come out in an hour.”

I said goodbye and came back.

"......." When I came back, the gray spider was staring at me with expressionless eyes.

I sat down next to her, not paying attention to her gaze.

“The drug guy.

It's a trick." “The elder is the general manager, but you still need to know how things are going.”

“So you lied to the general manager? [Even an elder would have a hard time eavesdropping on this conversation].

In the first place, he sent me a message at the same time.”

Yes.

From the beginning, I blew all my voices not only to the transparent general manager, but also to the gray spider.

Thanks to this, the elder came to know the self-inflicted species.

“Is the sound quality okay?”

“Come on, you have good reception, you bastard.”

“Do I look a little different now?”

The gray spider looked up at me.

The eyes that I had seen when I had intimately talked about Uburka's past a while ago were a little darker now that I heard the story with the transparent witch.

The gray spider lamented.

“Is everything real?”

I folded my arms and opened my chest.

"Yes.

I am the King.”

“Not that, twins.”

“Thousands of elite soldiers in black robes obey without hesitation, and countless warriors of the designated tribes and thousands of Asuras support them.

There are two rivals of mine, one has a thousand elite soldiers in white coats, fighter ears that control 256 colors, and a miscellaneous horsehair bald eagle, and the other has no such reputation, but is the original swordsman pick.

He’s an ignorant old man.”

“Not even that, you bastard.”

I opened my chest even more.

"of course? To use the immortal brilliance as a sword? Was it that he had downgraded the blood-colored demon who was opposing him and worked? Are you talking about the part where even that terrifying constellation killer, the 50th-floor [Season Boss], belongs to me?”

“Ah, other than those [trivial] things! One really smart one, damn it!”

Contrary to the invisible witch who showed fear in my power, the gray spider cut it off as [insignificant].

“Strong bastards.

Stronger bastards who slaughter strong cubs like a mountain...

If you live a thousand years, you will see such [ordinary strong people] countless times.

Why didn't we nail all the constellations to the bottom of the tower right now? What the hell is the reason that the top false gods served by those fucking false gods, Mahos and those voyeurs looking down on the 50th floor and eating popcorn?”

The gray spider grinded its teeth.

“What is a little surprising is that you achieved slaughter, but that’s because slaughter was not such a trivial strongman! The reason swordsmanship was different is because he wasn't such a trivial strongman.

But you...

I don't know.

What am I saying?”

Well.

"Really?" okay.

"Really?" Yes.

“My lord, you… .”

As the invisible witch paid more attention to my power, the part that I couldn't realize enough, even though I overheard it from afar, the gray spider correctly accepted it.

she asked groaning.

“On the 30th floor, on the 40th floor… Didn't he rule as a god?" I nodded.

“Yes.”

“I can’t believe it!”

"I can't believe you're that kind of person, no, that you exist! No one has ever..." “Yes, you can say that.”

I said to the spider, "You can trust me that way.

You think I'm a liar, you think I misunderstood what the first horseman said, and I'm sure you'll wipe it all out and forget about it.

It is a choice that Gummy-sama can choose.”

“……”

“Or, you can choose a completely different option.”

The gray spider clenched her teeth.

She leaned towards me, but at the same time backed away, and consequently stopped in an awkward position, neither approaching nor moving away from me.

I waited.

As he looked at the forces surrounding the tower, he looked at the ever-brighter dawn, and murmured, like a beast driven to a cliff.

"Yes." “… … show me too See that, and then...

no.

Anyway, first, show it to me.”

I nodded.

“That’s something I can do.”

So I did.

2.

The dawn was slowly climbing up the sky.

The sound of the dawn rising was the sound of the members stretching out in the barracks and temporary buildings of Banma Maeng, the apostles grooming themselves, the sound of a kid crying, and the sound of a livestock crying.

“… … okay." And it was the sound of a wizard who had lived for a thousand years, saying yes.

"......." The gray spider's eyes were blurry.

It wasn't just because he had just had a long dream with the help of the Dreamers.

"......." A small mumble.

"...I-" After a while, the gray spider began to say, covering her face.

“I never had any intention of protecting my sisters.

Let's just find and kill the peasant who sowed my mother's seeds, burn the peasant's village, slaughter the village's estate, destroy the territorial country, and burn the country's continent...

… .

At some point, there were sisters around.”

Those words didn't come off her tongue, they just seemed to flow out of their own gaping lips.

“There was no accountability.

But I was responsible.

A bastard who doesn't take responsibility in a place where he's responsible is, come to think of it, he's like my father.

They were our gods.

Not wanting to be like them, I became the lord of my people.

A tower was built.”

promised morning.

The iron gate of the spire opened with a click.

“I never wanted to be anything in my life.

Let's not be like that.

Don't be like him.

Let's just kill those bastards.

… Looking back, I've always been a person who lived only with that." The anti-maman's followers murmured.

The murmurs were varied.

'Are you really surrendering!', 'Damn', 'Let's see where they come out with how brazen faces!', 'It's over! This is our victory!' Tens of thousands of humans watched the spire in siege, each voicing their emotions.

“It was the first time.

swordsman.”

Hundreds of spiders walked out from the open cracks in the iron gates.

“Like the guy.

It was the first time in a thousand years that I wanted to be like someone other than me.”

The spiders did not come out with a white flag.

'what?' Then, the gossip of the crowd, which had flowed in various colors, began to focus on one place little by little.

'There is no white flag.' The spiders were proud of their stride and did not bow their heads.

'… … ..' straight.

I walked out the iron gate, staring straight ahead.

'Really, what?' As if they were not defeated.

“It was light.”

The gray spider's voice saying that wasn't too heavy either.

But that was because there was nothing more in it.

“The man didn't seem to hate anything.

it wasn't a joke I also have the eye to know the extent of that.

However, it's not particularly good.

I wasn't the type of person who was eager to help others.

just… … it was light like the wind.”

anger too.

contempt too.

malicious intent.

Until I showed you my dream, even the hatred that was brimming with depth.

“I wondered if it was possible to live like that person.”

The people of the anti-ma-maeng began to clamor.

'Kneel down!' 'Apologize!' Believers did not hesitate to shout as if they felt that they had been too docile to see the surrender of the four headquarters in the past.

'Kneel down!' That your whole life has gone wrong, 'Kneel down!' It's not just that a few parts are wrong, but that your very existence is all wrong, 'Kneel down!' Believers took this opportunity to prove themselves.

“I thought to myself.”

“Kneel down!”

“It's not possible.

that it's impossible A life like that would be impossible for me, of course, for anyone else.”

“Kneel down!”

“So, swordsmanship is just the only exception.”

“Kneel down!”

“But, yes.”

“Kneel down!”

“It certainly wasn’t like that.”

“Kneel down!”

The spiders from Headquarters 1 began to step on the drawbridge.

Tub.

The glass-transparent drawbridge was not shaken by the footsteps of hundreds of people.

The Gray Spider and I stood at the edge of such a drawbridge.

“Even if it’s different from swordsman.

even if it's the complete opposite.

So even if it's heavy.

Even if it’s too heavy.”

"......." "A different life from me was also possible." While we watched, HQ 1 spiders crossed the glass bridge proudly.

As the dignifiedness got closer, the anger that the believers vomited became hotter and hotter.

'Kneel down! Can't you kneel?!' 'Those!' Some people tried to throw rotten fruit or filth from where they came from.

“You don’t have to.”

I said.

"thanks.

It could be.”

The gray spider lowered her hand covering her face.

“I spent over a hundred years thinking that Geomje was a special exception.

I could spend over a thousand years thinking you are a similar exception." "........" "I wasn't wrong.

I lived my life to the fullest.

I.

I...

...but." Saying that, she was crying and smiling, "Isn't that too shameful?" And.

The Gray Witch slowly knelt down.

"......." Headquarters 1, the spiders crossing the drawbridge stopped.

No.

Headquarters 2, 3, and 4, who watched the surrender ceremony with anxious faces, Even the spiders in Headquarters 5.

The anti-maman followers who were frantic and booing around them, the ordinary hunters who interrupted the festival and shouted, "I'm sorry." The Ashen Witch was kneeling at her followers, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." In place of the hundreds of spiders who refused to kneel, the largest spider, the lord of all witches, the slayer who did not kneel even to the gods, bandaged his body and put his forehead to the floor.

“My thousand years were wrong.”

The city was silent.312.
