LIGHTNOVELONLINE chapter 219
219 – 42. Abel Legion
Going to die.
What does that mean?
There was no way I didn’t know.
“…Are you planning to return to your hometown?”
“……………….”
“To solve the root of the Gate incident?”
“……………….”
There was no reply. That was the answer.
I couldn’t help but sigh at Abel’s answer.
“Preparation…”
“……….”
“Have you had enough?”
Abel’s mission and return to his hometown.
That is also the reason why he was born with a special profession called
Warrior.
Being a warrior is by no means an ordinary job. If you think about it, it can be said to be a truly special job that is different from other special jobs.
The appearance of the hero is also a foreshadowing that a global crisis will come in the future.
It is also a sentence that the only person who can solve him is a hero.
It is not for nothing that Abel is a symbol and hope for all Americans.
“……………….”
“I’ll ask you again, warrior.”
In that respect, Abel’s character event is…… It was done in a very unusual way.
Unlike existing events where players usually participate together or work centrally to solve the problem.
After Abel arrived in the United States, the problem was resolved through direct manipulation by the player.
The process of a hero resolving a crisis.
Because no one else can be with us.
So, you have to ask.
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, definitely.
“Are you…Sufficiently prepared?”
Once in America, Abel must be completely alone.
Because only then can the job skills and true colors of the Be properly revealed.
Paradoxically, a warrior is most powerful when he is lonely and has no companions.
So…… Jisoo must have fought alone after becoming a hero.
“………I…”
“……….”
“……Ready…”
A longer gap than usual. And stuttering.
It was not possible to evaluate Abel’s answer based on that alone.
“It’s done.”
“……What……?”
“Isn’t the statement about going to die the result of the warrior’s deep consideration? He must have thought a lot while polishing the holy sword.”
“……………….”
“Did you tell anyone else besides me?”
“……No…….”
“Then, please stand up again.”
“………?”
“There is something I realized after coming to this world.”
Everything in the world.
Connects are the best.
“Now, wait a minute.”
“If you’re really embarrassed, you lose your speech. But anyway, if you leave for America, won’t it be known all over the world? ‘Abel Legion, leaving on a warrior’s mission’.”
“……That’s…….”
“In the end, it will become known and be confirmed by more people.”
“……What…?”
I know because I have thought about myself in some way.
In the end, if I just think alone, my thoughts will only get more and more bogged down.
I am the one who makes the decisions, so it is true that I should have the most thoughts, but that is also too much or too little.
Just as I received great help from Lily…… Sometimes the answer comes from an unexpected place.
‘I’m sure you’re grateful that you told me, too.’
At best, if it ends here, it won’t be enough.
“Let’s go.”
“……Where…….”
“Where are you? First of all.”
Special occupation class guys.
“I should meet my classmates first, right?”
*
When I was young, I used to think that way.
It would have been better without something like …… Called.
After being born as the grandson of my grandfather, the President of the United States.
Coincidentally, the words I heard the most were two.
Thank you to the warrior.
I blame him for being a warrior.
I didn’t understand it when I was young. There are adults who express infinite gratitude to me, and adults who show infinite hatred towards me.
However, I think I disliked adults who showed hatred more.
Whenever I cried after hearing something like that, my grandfather always came to visit.
‘I’m sorry, Abel.’
‘Grandpa…… ?’
‘I’m truly sorry…….’
…… I remembered it now.
The next thing I heard a lot was.
It was an insult calling me a bastard without a mother or father…… If we were to be honest, it was close to defamation.
In the end, all I know is that my parents died when I was a baby, and my grandfather, my only family, continued to raise me.
And the grandfather was able to be elected president thanks to maximizing his image as a ‘grandfather raising his grandchildren alone’.
Maybe…… Didn’t grandfather’s words of apology include that as well?
Could it be that he sold me and his grandson as tools for the presidential race?
Honestly, it didn’t really matter.
Grandpa made me…… Because you truly loved me.
So, grandfather.
Please give me the answer.
“Hero? You have to walk fast like you did when you went to the base earlier!”
“……Please…….”
The answer to escape from this fortune teller.
Is this a flash of light that can be felt during a crisis in life?
The memories of my childhood that had been going on in my head for a moment were blown away by Namgoong Min’s urging.
I leave the log cabin I made myself and head to the downtown area of the Academy.
Unlike before, I walk behind and Namgoong Min walks in front.
Another difference.
“Oh, fortune teller! When can I make my next appointment?”
“Senior, we are not taking reservations these days… So if you really need to, please visit us in person. Seniors are always welcome.”
“Namgoong Min… It’s been a while.”
“Mr. Sasaki, it’s been a while. How is your sister?”
“Thanks to you, our relationship has gotten better. I’m always grateful. But.”
“……I regret what happened to Mr. Hwang Jin-woo.”
“…… Kaede’s boyfriend, that bastard had better not think about living comfortably…….”
“Oh, it’s a fortune teller! Hey, hey fortune teller! Have you seen Eileen recently?”
“You’re a student in a martial arts class, so you should know better…? What’s going on?”
“No, what should I say these days… I feel like the usual number of non-believers has decreased. Should I say I’m disappointed? There was something that struck me when I heard it.”
“If you have a s*xual preference like masochism, even if you go to a fortune telling book, they won’t be able to give you any prescriptions.”
Something…… The atmosphere is different.
No, just look at it.
Even though Namgoong Min was just walking down the street, countless people were approaching him.
An older student who seems to be trying to make a reservation at a fortune teller.
Sasaki Ito, who seemed to have received great help.
Even a martial arts student approaches without hesitation.
It’s not to the point where everyone on the street talks to him, but quite a few people recognize Namgoong Min and say hello or chat with him.
“……………….”
I felt a little burdened by that atmosphere.
Walking slowly to gradually increase the distance became a considerable distance at some point.
As if I am not part of Namgoong Min’s group.
While he was smiling and talking to others, I just followed far behind in silence.
‘……… Also.’
It wasn’t that I was particularly jealous or anything.
If you just look at it like that…… I clearly feel that Namgoong Min and I are ‘different’ types of people.
During a two-day, one-night trip, I met a former warrior named Namgoong Min’s younger sister.
I strongly believe that what I heard at that time was correct.
‘Stupid bastard.’
But that is an idea that should not come true. It’s just an escape from reality that’s even worse than what it is now.
As if whipping myself, I inadvertently grabbed his hand holding the holy sword.
“Hero?”
“……Huh……?”
“Why are you so far behind? You have a long way to go, quickly.”
Namgoong Min playfully touched my elbow and pushed my back with a smile.
Naturally, people’s attention is focused on me. Only then did people begin to recognize me little by little.
However.
“Yo, yo, hero!”
“Huh? Hero, do you know someone?”
“……No…….”
“Hey, hero, you probably don’t know! My name is Aaron Jacob!”
“Are you American…?”
“Oh, you’re the fortune teller I heard about? Please take care of me.”
American.
At this Romance Academy…… These people are quite difficult to see.
The reason was simple. This is because the United States collapsed because of the Gate incident that occurred 20 years ago.
Not only did so many Americans die, but the birth rate dropped drastically, so there were very few Americans around the age of 20 today.
Then, naturally, the proportion of job holders will decrease, and among them, the number of Americans will naturally decrease at the Romance Academy, where only a very small number of elites can enter.
Half-jokingly, it was said that there were more American instructors at the academy than American students.
Of course, it wasn’t my first time seeing an American.
Just.
“Um, by the way, hero…! I heard you’re at the same academy, but this is my first time seeing you! Please take care of me!”
“……Okay…”
“Please, may only hope fall on the path ahead of you… At least for the sake of your mission.”
That word.
Those words add weight to the profession of a warrior…… It’s so heavy and burdensome.
I built a house near the mountain and avoided it.
‘A guy like me.’
The words of a student named Jacob are somewhat close to words of kindness.
The earnestness of the remaining Americans to Abel, America’s only hope at this point.
But that…… Because it was no different from asking someone to die quickly.
Because it is no different from asking us to quickly sacrifice ourselves and get rid of those gates.
“I always feel guilty, and I apologize to the hero.”
“………………Okay…………….”
Be sure to add an apology at the end.
I honestly don’t know when the word ‘sorry’ came into existence.
Maybe…… It may have originated from my grandfather’s will.
Then should I rather be thankful? Because grandfather’s traces are still alive and breathing?
Something like that, more than that.
In the hell called the Pentagon.
His grandfather came out alive…… He would have been much more grateful.
‘Teddy bear…….’
Teddy bear. Charles Teddy Bear. Fighter Charles Teddy Bear. Charles Teddy Bear, a professional soldier. War hero Charles Teddy Bear.
Why? Why.
Why do you save my grandfather──
“──? Hero?”
“………Ah…”
“Are you okay? You suddenly closed your eyes and there was no answer.”
“…It’s okay…Ah…”
So, the thing about Charles Teddy Bear…… I’m trying not to think about it.
Even though it has become extremely difficult to show emotions after the Gate incident, I naturally become enraged when I think of Charles Teddy Bear.
Does he really hate Charles Teddy Bear?
Or is it an escape from reality that just blames everything on Charles Teddy Bear?
‘Damn, damn…… ….’
So I deliberately avoided it. American students and Charles Teddy Bear.
I don’t want to encounter each other in class, at the academy, on the street, or at my base.
I ran away for so long.
“……Namgoong Min…….”
“Yes?”
This fortune teller is someone you could probably call a friend.
Approach me without any hesitation, and become friendly with me without any hesitation.
He handles everything on his behalf without any hesitation, and smiles as if nothing is wrong.
As if everything was taken for granted.
Like my mission…… It seems like that’s the fortune teller’s mission.
Yes, I felt a sense of kinship.
Something that an average person would not have.
To this fortune teller who has a mission and duty that must be accomplished even at the cost of one’s life.
To someone of their kind who may be the only one in the world.
So, so.
“…Just…Today…Only…”
“Yes, of course.”
If it is a mission that needs to be accomplished anyway, if it is a death that will soon be faced anyway.
At least before that…… Even if it’s only 24 hours.
Let’s get along well.
That was all.
“Until the hero is fully prepared.”
“……………….”
Just, just.
That’s all…… I wanted to believe it.

[I can see it, I can see it.]
“……………….”
[Usurper, can you see it? Can you see what your insolent brother is doing?]
“……………….”
[Do you see what you are doing in front of your junior? Can you see what the cult that disbelieves in God is doing?]
“……………….”
[I can see. Look clearly. Even with this disappearing body, with this body denied by mere humans! It looks clear.]
“……………….”
[Caism is getting closer. Usurper, the time of promise between you and I is coming. The end of the story is finally approaching.]
“……………….”
[Oh, you can hear me. Even if you became a god, you were still just a human being. Even with that level of power, you suffer so much. Even in the special environment of being inside the gate, I was told a little bit about the future by a human with superpowers, so this is what happened.]
“……………….”
[Can you see your body? A body that is cracking like mine? It’s really weak and weak, but I can see that the tips of your feet are cracking. What is it like inside that body?]
“……………….”
[It seems like you have something to say. Try it, try it! Both you and your brother have thoroughly despised me, usurper, tell me!!]
Party.
“You’ve been so loud since a while ago. Shut up, you pervert.”
[…] ……… ]
“Sounds like a bastard… This world is so pitiful that this bastard was a god.”
