Beat the Boss Mob

62 – Two Steps to Ruin

A dream. Yes this is a dream It has to be.

Otherwise, how can you stand in a place you can’t return to?

“….”

Rion looked around blankly.

Before falling into that goddamn tower, he knew the world he lived in.

That’s why he went to great lengths to get back.

The light that was able to avoid going crazy in the endless wait.

It is unfolding right in front of your eyes. If I stretch out my hand right now, I think I can catch it.

So Rion was able to realize even more that this was a dream.

The conditions for returning have not been met, so how can I return?

I turned around. Very calmly, without the slightest worry.

The more I look at it, the more my insides will burn, and only my heart will rot.

“Rion.”

But the next moment, a voice in his ear stopped him.

The main character of this voice coming from the side is a person who can put an end to all of this.

Even though it will hurt each other, it will be better than the worst tragedy.

The person who made us gritting our teeth by repeating over and over again that we couldn’t help it.

“What are you doing?”

She grabbed Leon’s hand. And she ran somewhere.

She couldn’t bear to shake off her hand and ran to the direction she was heading.

I saw a field. The place where she first told her what her rest was.

You can rest. You deserve it the place I was talking about.

It was still warm there. It sparkled. Above all, the memories overflowed.

“Look over there.”

In an instant, the world changed. It was an academy. It was a place to train candidates for warriors.

The place has now been transformed into a place where ordinary students are taught.

The world has become a world where warriors are no longer needed. Peace has finally been restored

No one needs to take back the world with their own lives.

There is no reason to struggle to overcome it in the end even though you are afraid of death.

There is no tragedy to be afraid of losing something precious while fighting demons.

“It is really over now.”

End. It’s over. Yes, if there is an end, it probably is.

It is a truly beautiful sight. Is there anything more willing than this?

It makes sense that everyone is fighting hard to protect what they are seeing.

But Leon didn’t move anymore. She couldn’t move

The peace I see now, this is the end. For this to happen, one condition must be met.

‘Death.’

So, this is just a fantasy that can’t come true. It’s just a dream that will break someday.

As long as you live and exist like this, none of them will come true.

To go back and see my world, and to keep the peace here.

But, damn it. When you die, you really can’t see anything.

Are you sure you can go back? I do not know. Nobody knows.

Seeing them smile? That’s for sure can’t see

Whether those left behind laugh or cry, there is no way for Leon to do anything about it.

“Rion.”

I let go of my hand. Because we can’t be together anymore. Because it is impossible even in dreams.

Even if that woman calls out to herself, there is nothing she can do about it.

“Rion.”

Let’s wake up now. Rise up, let’s face our impending fate.

That call, that voice, unfortunately, must be pushed back for a while.

“….”

The scene revealed in front of Leone who slowly opened her eyes was always the same.

Black darkness. A terrifyingly heavy silence. Himself sitting in it.

And a familiar yet bitter aura approaching from far away.

Kugugung―

The door opens, and the woman slowly steps inside.

Destined to bring down the tower, shouldering the duty.

She is a person who does not run away from that fate and stands up to it confidently.

“The Master of the Tower.”

The same person who called her in her dreams.

But a hero with a completely different aura.

There was no greeting or conversation like before.

Because it was Rion who didn’t want to say anything more, and Enlil who couldn’t speak more.

As soon as the two men and women recognized each other, they drew magic right away.

I didn’t need any signal. It’s enough to fight the moment you encounter it.

Kwajik!― Bang!―

The throne he was sitting on collapsed in an instant and scattered in all directions.

Just by looking at the door she came in, her hideous traces are deeply engraved.

This room right now. No, the heavens and earth vibrated as if the entire tower would collapse.

“….”

“….”

Amidst that trembling blow, neither Lion nor Enlil, no one opened their mouths.

You have to focus on fighting. Only then can you hear the answer you want.

To do that, you have to win. No, it’s okay to lose, so just achieve what you set out to do!

uuu!―

The black darkness rises all at once and rushes at Enlil without mercy.

In the past, it was Enlil who would roll around in a bad way leaving scars all over his body even if he was attacked.

But not anymore. Rather, he did it all so leisurely.

With each flash of her sword, the darkness was reconciled with light and scattered into powder.

For a moment, the heat came to this hell, and it disappeared after trying to change it.

“Whoa.”

It’s the light and heat that I’ve gotten used to going to and from the outside of the tower, but this one is a bit scary.

The power has already reached the level Leon wanted. All that remains is Enlil’s own skill.

And looking at Enlil’s sword now, it could be seen that it had almost reached that point.

Sureung!―

‘… What?’

I hadn’t noticed it at all until now. Enlil’s movements are so natural and so fast.

I just realized that there was an extra sword at her waist!

In an instant, blue energy gathered in another sword and shot it in all directions.

With just one good touch, the pieces will scatter across the spiraling ground.

So, is it unavoidable? That’s not it. Enough to avoid.

The only problem is that I can’t make up for the time dragged on like this.

Meanwhile, Enlil said that she would prepare the real thing she wanted!

I never thought I would buy time like this. She couldn’t imagine

I couldn’t even think of the number of cases that Enlil would use her two swords. She

She assumed, of course, that she would win with one sack, but she stumbled like this.

Quaguaguagua!―

Even the level of tribute has far exceeded the level of tribute.

The moment you laugh at this as a tribute, one of your limbs will fly away.

‘I’ll do the same thing I did last time.’

If he gets hit twice by the same thing, he’s just an idiot.

However, even that method didn’t work for him before.

That’s why I was confident enough to block it this time as well.

I wanted to let Enlil know that this move no longer works.

A mighty blow. That’s why it’s an attack that has no choice but to use.

If you cheat or cover up like this, you can never win.

‘Comes.’

The traces of the light that had been flying toward him are gradually diminishing.

Now, it won’t be long before something truly terrifying will fly through the gap.

When will you come? When will you aim for my heart and fly away? The moment I was thinking about it.

Enlil’s momentum that had been felt in front of him suddenly began to change.

Coming. The blow she would consider most important in the current situation.

The key you need to be most wary of, perhaps the key that fits the door.

Kagagak!―

The very moment when the last trajectory of light is blocked by shadows and shattered.

I felt exactly how something flew through the air in front of me.

Yes. It’s coming. The increasingly sharpening sword is running straight ahead.

What about this time? Will it stop again? Or should I break through some of it?

You never know. Stronger than I imagined, finally defeating myself…

“… f*ck.”

Leon spat out a curse and threw all the shadows he was hiding behind in a hurry.

This is not an attack. It’s not a blow to pierce my heart.

What he sees now is just a woman jumping into his chest.

Her reflex was to accept her. She really meant to.

Fortunately, at the very last moment, I came to my senses and was able to squeeze Enlil’s neck.

“Coke!”

“What are you doing? I’ve been fighting well Are you trying to self-destruct?”

I can’t understand. It looked like it was preparing a blow, but why?

If you came in as it is, you would have had more to gain whether you were victorious or defeated.

She can’t get a sense of what this woman is aiming for.

“Rion.”

I thought I heard it wrong. For a moment, she thought she was still dreaming.

Why is that name appearing at this timing? Why all of a sudden?

“That’s you. Yes?”

My hair gets cloudy. Even though I knew the situation would come someday.

Even though it was an imaginary moment that I had practiced enough and envisioned in my head.

I can’t even part my lips recklessly when that moment comes right in front of me.

“It’s you. That’s right. When I was embraced like this, the eyes that only you could see, the breathing, the movement of the face, even the reaction of the muscles. That’s right. You, the owner of the tower… It was him.”

She has finally come to her truth. She finally knew what Hell was like.

Now you have one thing to do and one thing to say. Yes, there is only one.

“….”

I couldn’t speak. Because if I open my lips and say those words, everything will fall apart.

As it should be for everything. I always thought that it could be.

When the moment came, seeing that he couldn’t do anything, he wondered if he was a person who couldn’t help himself after all.

“Why are you doing this? Why are you….”

I bit my lip. Gritted it I forcibly hugged my chest that was about to burst.

And finally he decided to do what he had to do.

“Play.”

“….”

“It was just a game. Enlil.”
