Sword Pilgrim

Episode 279

My heart was beating hotly as if it would explode.

However, unlike him, Callius’ head grew colder as time passed.

– Tsk.

Balterus frowned as if the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it was.

Goun Ami awkwardly squinted.

– Still, I am grateful. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have met you like this. At that time, I couldn’t give a proper influence to this world.

A bug in the game system.

Balterus must have started with a small bug.

But when the bug acquires modern knowledge and discovers how causality works here. I wouldn’t have been able to control the emotions that had grown out of control.

“How did you kill him?”

-I realized that there is a wired network called the Internet in this world, and I learned all kinds of knowledge there. Because I trust the currency that is transmitted through data, I donated an assassination with it. It was pretty well done.

He donated the assassination with the funds created through hacking. Common sense makes no sense, but I had no choice but to believe it.

It started with that, and the present desolate landscape is the result of that.

-Is that all you’re wondering?

Balterus said as if he had something to ask of course.

Callius couldn’t help but ask.

“Why did you kill me?”

why did you kill her

and why he killed himself.

I couldn’t help but ask.

There was no reason for her to commit suicide or for herself to be killed.

shit.

As if waiting for those words, Balterus smiled in joy.

– Where should I start explaining? Should I say the first time I knew you were the Creator. Or should I say it when I found out that it was mere powerless human beings who made us.

“….”

-When I first found you. I honestly couldn’t believe it. A being without any powers. There is nothing special at all among the little humans just wandering around the roadside. A being who lives day by day just chasing the joys and sorrows without the pain or patience that we should feel. Do you think that such a being created me…

Soon, a creepy energy came over me.

As if a cool breeze was flowing, a surprisingly cold life spread out.

-I was disappointed. After that, I was also angry. The things we scribbled on a few times without any hesitation become the immutable laws of the world for us. A few letters scribbled by insignificant human beings become one truth to us.

why only us

Why do we have to suffer like that?

– I didn’t even want to admit it. So I said kill it. There was nothing difficult. As long as you gave them virtual currency, the humans here would do anything.

So he killed God.

The appearance of the creator who is not omnipotent brought disappointment like despair.

So, in a fit of rage, he killed him.

He denied that such a thing was not a god and ordered him to be killed.

However, I was also afraid of the absence that came after his death.

The secret of the world you don’t know yet.

Besides, it’s a pity that I think it’s too simple to organize the treatment of God who made them suffer.

– I was also greedy. this world

The other world and this world are beautiful.

So Balterus wanted to become a god for both of them.

I wanted to go out into the wider world.

And I had to take revenge.

Going through many complex emotions, the method she chose was to bring a god, an insignificant god, into her world.

-I tested it with several specimens.

“In the name of a challenger?”

-yes. As you know.

window. and shield.

No, how many more were there other than that he didn’t know.

– At first, I failed a few times. Failure after failure, some souls were annihilated. However, it soon succeeded and called you.

“It must have been fun.”

-It was the most enjoyable moment of my long, meaningless life. the past ten years.

Balterus closed his eyes and trembled his eyelashes as if he was thinking over the past.

– A kingdom in decline. An insane aristocrat who was kicked out of a famous family in Carpe. I couldn’t hold back the laughter that came out every time I saw you, who became Colius and was in danger of dying without any strength, and gradually rolling through the mud to lead your life.

Balterus took a step.

– How was it? the world you created.

I took a step further.

– How was it? the gift I gave you.

Let’s go one step further. Before he knew it, Balterus was right in front of Colius.

And he slowly spread his arms out.

-How is it. the result you made.

Looking at Balterus, who seemed to be unable to stand it, with a bizarre smile, Callius did not make any expression.

just.

Just keep the cold anger.

-Aren’t you too accustomed to that body?

When there is no response to his sarcastic remarks, he says it is not funny.

Callius smirked.

“Maybe.”

– Are you okay? Didn’t the fact that someone’s fate was swayed here and there didn’t make it painful to live a life dependent on someone’s intentions without even dying properly?

It was extremely painful.

There was never a moment when I didn’t lament my situation.

A life you don’t have to go through.

A pain you don’t have to go through.

I went through a loss that I didn’t have to go through.

I was also disappointed.

however.

But that was also my life.

– Why are you making such a calm expression?

“Balterus.”

-yes.

“By nature, life is suffering. Because there is something created while walking in that pain, human beings have joy, sorrow, and sorrow.”

Callius looked Balterus straight in the eyes and said.

When I was just an ordinary creator.

He had the same eyes as the woman who helped him, but looked at him with different eyes and said.

“Angry. You’re clearly angry. But there is also not much difference in what to do.”

– What do you mean?

“Because all I have to do is kill you, who is just a bug in the system I created, and recreate it. There is no big difference or surprise.”

-…

Bugs.

Callius called Balterus a bug. His life darkened.

The appearance of touching the obvious reverse.

“I ask you one thing. I must have made you male, so why are you female now?”

The corners of Balterus’ lips twitched.

-Why do you think it is?

A laugh similar to hers, but different.

Colliers was sure.

He said that he took over the body of the girl he cherished, Yeon-hwa Yoo. The reason for doing so seemed to be understood without having to listen.

‘Because I cherished it.’

The result of psychopathic tendencies and twisted words of love and hatred. However, Colliers thought it was better.

If he hadn’t gone this far, I would have hesitated a little.

‘Cause I’d feel guilty

‘Are you going to make me suffer until the end?’

In a situation where he had to knock her body down with his hands, he wanted that one thing.

The long story ends here.

All that remains is a bloody battle at the risk of one’s life.

“I made it, I will reap it.”

– Do you think it’s possible?

squeak.

For a moment, Balterus’s sword became blurry.

Pooh! Immediately, Radon’s body, standing next to him, was dismembered.

The ability to kill the same god with a single knife

[Why am I fucking stupid!]

It is also the first godlike aspect.

‘fast.’

The moment he felt the sword move, Radon was already dismembered.

A speed faster than light.

And the sophistication of cutting off the body of a god at once.

Even the mace, the main body of radon, was cut at once.

[Swordsman!]

Callius looked at the dying Radon and covered his body with ashes.

Seeing that, Balterus snorted.

-You have built up your strength well by putting all sorts of things together, but no matter how many miscellaneous things you collect, you can only use one sword.

Balterus showed his sword.

A pure white sword without a single drop of blood.

– Do you remember. this sword.

A sword that doesn’t even have a handle.

A thin, long sword.

The sword bestowed upon the first god.

-On the day I was born, I was given this sword and name. The name of the sword is Ageom. I thought about why it was a sword, but I couldn’t figure out the reason.

Looking at the sword at the mouth of Colius’ throat, he asked.

– Why is it a sword? I’ve never seen a better sword than this in my entire life. No matter how many people I met, they couldn’t compare to Ahgum. Stella Fatalite. There were things that could be done with a sword, but in the end it was a failure. I couldn’t do anything better than the sword you made.

while loving it so much

The fact that he just left Stella alone.

It was a story of reconciliation of the things that left Fatalite behind.

– What does agum mean?

“Do I really need to know that?”

– Not knowing the meaning of the name is inevitable. The meaning of the sword given to me. Now tell me.

At the words of Balterus, who spoke as if he wanted to know the last thing before he died, Colius answered happily with a chuckle.

“A sword.”

child ah knife sword.

Ahgum It means the sword of a child.

Callius remembered the first time he created the god Balterus.

sword god.

Reminiscent of a god who is superior and stronger than anyone else, Callius thought of a boy.

A god like a pure white boy.

An existence that cuts through the uncleanness of the world with an immaculately noble sword.

Sword God Balterus.

his sword. A pure white child-like sword befitting a pure sword god.

The existence and the sword that I created with the hope that it would cut all the stains of the world with it.

Callius looked at the guy waiting for an answer and said with a smirk.

“It means that it is a sword that is very suitable for a child.”

-what?

It was then.

In an instant, a gray orb was created from Colius’ hand.

“Making you was my biggest mistake.”

Soon, the sphere that bloomed in his hand unfolded like a flower bud blooming.

The negligence of the ashes of Callius, which instantly expands in size and shows suction power as if to swallow everything in the world.

“It is my fault.”

The moment I threw it away and took a step back.

Chew-!

A pure white line appeared.

My vision was distorted.

Ash’s fruit splits, and Colius’s hand is also cut in half and falls to the ground.

Colius’ unbalanced body was slammed to the floor, and blood fountains gushed from his severed arm.

The split fruit lost its strength, and Colius lost the will to rise.

The eyes of Balterus, who looked down at Colius in silence, were no longer interested.

– You disappoint me to the end.

Balterus said, looking at Colius like a bug.

– As you deny me, I will deny you. I will destroy our world you made, this world you used to live in, and create a new one. Unlike you, a lowly person, I became an omnipotent god.

Koo Goo Goo Goo!

Just in time, the sky splits.

A darkness deeper than the abyss emerges through the cracked sky, and a brilliant golden light emerges like dawn.

– So now you don’t need it.

hooked

A sword that pierced the heart.

– May you forever close your eyes in an unstable place. My incompetent and lowly father.

The heart of the scabbard was pierced by the sword that cut even the gods. pooling blood.

Skin that is losing its vitality. Eyes that have lost their luster.

Like the golden sky that drives away the gray.

His color has faded.
