MEMORIZE

As soon as I checked the message printed in the air, an idea flashed through my mind.

Reward point.

I shouted right away without thinking much more.

"Go Yeon-ju..."

His voice didn't come out as well as I thought, so he said it as if he was squeezing it out, but fortunately, Ko came running quickly.

"Suhyun..."

Ko Yeon-joo looked sad when she saw me, and turned her head with her eyes closed tightly. It was possible to guess how serious my condition was, but now is not the time to cover up.

I forced my hand up and pointed right with my index finger. It was in the direction of the city.

"Sister! My brother...!”

While he was turning his head all the time, a familiar voice sang Ko. Come to think of it, I've been feeling comfortable with my neck and someone kept pouring the potion, but I think it was Kim Han-byul.

After a while, Ko Yeon-joo, who opened her eyes to the call, turned her head in the direction I was pointing, and gave a curious look.

I opened my mouth with difficulty.

"This way, Atlanta....”

"Suhyun?"

"Fightfield….Escape…".”

"…you want me to leave the battlefield now?"

Even though he said simple words, Ko immediately understood. I closed my eyes gently and opened them in that sense.

"Suhyun! What are you talking about?"

Then Ko shouted with a face that she could never do that. Maybe he understood it to mean run away. I felt a little stuffy, but I shook my head slowly.

"It's not running away...The high performer, Atlanta....”

"I can't do that. No, I won't. I'd rather...!”

"achievements….reward…".”

"…what?"

It was only then that Ko Yeon-ju's words were blurred when he managed to bring up the word "reward for achievement."

What I really wanted to say to Ko was to run to Atlanta and get a reward for his achievements.

Atlanta is really on the horizon now that we found the tower's milestone earlier. If you think about the maximum speed that Ko can make, you'll be back soon.

Like Lee Jung-pil, if he finds Atlanta for the purpose of "exploration" rather than "desertation," all of the expedition users will be rewarded for their achievements even if Ko Yeon-ju finds it. Then aside from everything else, the competence points roll in as rewards. In other words, by increasing physical strength with that point, one can achieve the third awakening of harmony.

Within a long time, Ko Yeon-ju's eyes brushed against each other.

"I mean, do you want me to go to Atlanta and get my reward?"

Ko Yeon-joo was summoned before the attack on Barbara, so now she must have noticed what I wanted. Also, how many 1 capability points affect users who have reached some level.

"Ha, but....”

Nevertheless, Ko shows signs of hesitation.

"Please..."

So I urged with a real earnest heart.

Thank you very much for that, but this is the only way I can think of it now. I was fully enlightened by the earlier battle. Currently, my user information does not defeat Hell's airspace even if I die or die. At this rate, even if you miraculously recover and play the second round, the results will be the same.

As such, now I felt like grabbing a straw.

Did he read the truth in my face?

"…okay."

Ko Yeon-joo, who bit her lower lip, stood up indignantly.

"I'll be back. I'll be back. Don't ever die."

Then he looked down at me for a moment and turned to the direction he pointed and started running.

With the last words, "Never die," Ko became a mole within seconds and disappeared. There was a sign of moving away at a terrifying pace. He's probably running with his teeth clenched by now.

Although he played such a high note, he can't be too relieved. The moment I checked the four messages that were still floating in the air, and the moment I faced the stark reality, I felt like I was plunging into a deep quagmire. Even if I had a brief hope with the capability points, the situation has changed to nothing.

Of course, objectively things have improved, and they will.

Zhugel Haesol's mana capability reached 101 points, and the rank of 'Can't Fall' rose. In addition, as soon as Ko finds the city, she will be able to reach 101 points in physical strength.

But when I think about it coldly, I can't stop thinking, 'So?' I've tried to come up with a counterattack, but I know this situation is never easy.

I would have clenched my fist to win if my opponent was Kushan Thor.

But the present opponent is the Grand Duke of Hell. To tell you the truth, I don't think I'm the one who can win even if I achieve the third awakening of Hwajeong. As a result of a brief encounter earlier, it was instinctive. It was strongly thought that the Grand Duke of Hell, who had the power to match me, would have already reached a higher level beyond the third awakening.

I mean, no matter how hard I struggle and struggle, I can never win.

A half-awakened awakening was no one to work for. The voice of Hwajeong, who was shouting for him to run away in desperation earlier, now feels keen.

“…….”

Suddenly, a flash of flash and a fluttering sound are heard from the front.

No, it was actually the roar that I've been hearing since earlier. Although it doesn't look laid down, you can feel the situation.

I heard Gong Chan-ho shouting, lightning flashing, something big popping, liquid dripping, hell-fear burning….Screaming, of course, the flow of wild magic has been said a second away.

I closed my eyes tightly because I didn't want to hear the sounds. I wanted to cover my ears if I could.

Even though I told you to run away like that....’

No, maybe it was no use running away.

When I thought of that, I suddenly burst out laughing.

Suddenly, the feeling of remorse came to me.

I thought I was almost there.

I thought I finally arrived in Atlanta.

With a little more effort, I thought I could go back home.

By the way…

'What the hell am I...What have you done so far....’

I don't think I want to give up yet, but I want to try anything, but the situation was already coming to an end.

A terrible sense of separation in that gap.

Who knew that he would feel the emotion he felt then and the helplessness that he couldn't do anything?

'I can't think of an answer....’

then

Knock!

Suddenly, a raindrop fell on my forehead. As soon as I opened my eyes to see what it was raining, I felt the pressure in my eyes. At the same time, another drop of water flows down and aligns my forehead.

…no. It wasn't raindrops, it wasn't water drops.

It was tears.

Kim Han-byul was crying with her mouth covered with one hand.

But there is no crying. Mokwooldae continues to paint the picture to see if he is forced to endure it. I was sobbing in silence, but the tears running down my cheeks kept falling past my chin. There was an indisputable sadness and fear in those eyes.

Why is Kim Han-byul crying?

What the hell did he see that he was crying like that?

"…Ah."

Perhaps he felt my eyes, and suddenly Kim Han-byul bowed his head and made eye contact with me. I can't help but feel my trembling lips.

"Oh, brother..."

Kim Han-byul called me in a shaky voice.

"Brother….Brother....”

Kim Han-byul, who called me once again, bowed her head even more to the point where her nose was touching. And with eye contact with me, he continues to talk like a skimp.

"What you asked me a while ago.... Amor Nuntios….The word…."

Yes?

'Amor Nuntios?'

In fact, it was quite out of the blue, so I had to tilt my head. I asked him what he meant a few days ago, and he said, "It's a word that only sheds a lot of tears."

However, Kim Han-byul did not care a bit. He just stared at me for a moment and quietly opened his mouth.

"Actually, it's a word that means a love message."

…what else does this mean?

As he raises his eyes vaguely, he sees beautiful eyes that shine determinedly.

Even before I could understand the words, Kim Han-byeol's lips fell off.

"I mean... I think I love you."

…love?

Then I felt my mind blanked out, not enough to get my head full.

However, Kim Han-byeol never stopped talking.

"No, I love you."

“…….”

"Yes. I love you."

“…….”

"I love you. Ever since I fell in love with you at first sight in the rite of passage, I've loved you."

“…….”

Kim Han-byul repeated the same thing three times. For an instant, my mind was confused. I thought I might have misheard, but I didn't. I love you, even though I'm choked by the sobbing. The whispering voice was as clear as crystal. As if to say this properly.

Why are you saying this all of a sudden?.’

I don't know what to say. If you're on guard like last time, isn't it too random to confess in a situation where your life is on the line?

At that moment, Kim Han-byul slowly raised her head. Then, the face, which was close enough to feel the breath, slowly moved away.

Kim Han-byul opened her mouth.

"You're curious, aren't you? Why did you say this all of a sudden?.”

And he looked at me and still smiled sadly with a tearful face.

"Because if it's not this time, I don't think I'll ever have a chance to say it again."

The day before yesterday.

"I'm sorry, brother."

Only then did I realize that something was wrong. Come to think of it, the noises that made my eardrums chirp a while ago became quiet for an instant. Not only that, there was a sign of someone striding from the front.

You're here.

The situation is obvious without having to look at it. The sound of the walk was telling us that Hell's Grand Duke succeeded in silencing all the users who attacked him.

As soon as I thought so, I felt the ground carefully touching the back of my head. Kim Han-byul was standing up from her seat. Then, he put his trembling hand into his arms and pulled out a handful of jewels. It then begins to walk step by step forward.

I had no choice but to stare at the figure.

"Ha, Hanbyeol."

The body remained the same. Far from standing up straight, it was hard to hold it down properly. As such, there is nothing I can do now.

Yeah, I'm...

‘…….’

…foolish.

"Darn it..."

The sense of helplessness that came again made me swear.

It was that moment.

Do you want to save him?

As hatred soared for no reason and scratched only the innocent land, a voice of passion suddenly came out.

Hwajeong?

We don't have much time to talk. Just answer the question. Do you want to live or save?

At first glance, the tone of the flower was close to the tone of the command. It also sounded angry in a way.

Do you want to live or save?’

At first glance, it is similar. But the two words have a huge difference.

'That's it...'

Anyway, I don't know what he was trying to say, but wouldn't it be obvious if I were to choose one?

I want to save it.’

It was the moment I answered inside.

Ring!

User Ko Yeon-ju has found a city on the continent of Atlanta!』

Congratulations...』

"The ancient city of Atlanta....』

"As a reward for the discovery of the city in Atlanta, all users on the expedition will receive a GP…".』

Several messages began to be printed in a flash in the air. But out of all the messages, only one caught my eye.

"As a reward for the discovery of cities in Atlanta, we will pay 1 free point to all users who participated in the expedition!』

Finally, a straw fell before my eyes.

============================ Review of the work ============================

I'm sorry. I finished writing at 04:06 yesterday, but when I tried to update it, Jo Ara was checking. I wasn't aware of the inspection in advance, so I was very embarrassed. (The inspection started at 04:00 and I think it was released at 08:00.)

I sincerely apologize to you for this and ask for your understanding. _(__)_

PS. I'll recommend a BGM for the next episode. I'll put it on the comment section of this episode before the update.
