The moment I saw the outputted message in the air, a thought flashed through my mind.

‘Reward Points. ’

I shouted as soon as I could think of nothing more.

“High-rises...! ”

He squeezed his voice out more than I thought, but thankfully, Yeon-ju rushed to me.

“Soo-hyun...! ”

When Yeon-ju saw me, she turned her head, her eyes tightened. I could have guessed how serious my condition was, but now was not the time to cover things up.

I forcefully raise my hand and point to the right with my index finger. It was in the direction of the city.

“Sis! My brother...! ”

The familiar voice calls out to me as I turn my head all the time. After that, I was relieved and someone wanted to keep pouring the potion, but it looks like it was Kim Hanbyol.

After a while, Yeon-ju opened her eyes to the call and turned her head in the direction I was pointing, giving her a curious look.

I opened my mouth with difficulty.

“This way…. Atlanta..."

“Soo-hyun?”

“The battlefield... Exit…."

“... You want me to leave the battlefield? ”

Even though I just said a simple word, Yeon-ju immediately understood. I closed my eyes and opened them once.

“Soo-hyun! What are you talking about! ”

Then he shouted with a face that he could never do that. Perhaps you understand what it means to run away. I felt a little overwhelmed, but I slowly shook my head.

“I'm not running.... Going to Atlanta... ”

“I can't do that. No, I won't. Let's do it together...! ”

“Achievements…. Reward…."

“… Yes? ”

When I brought up the word "achievement reward," I suddenly blurred the words of classicism.

What I really wanted to say to her was to run to Atlanta and claim the reward for her accomplishments.

Atlanta really is a sight after you saw the milestone in the tower. If you think about the maximum speed you can play, you will be able to go soon.

If you find Atlanta, like Lee Jung-fil, acting for the purpose of 'exploring’ rather than ‘deserting’, even if you find her alone, you will be rewarded with an achievement reward for all expedition users. Stat points roll into the reward, even if everything else is taken care of. That is, by raising the stamina to that point, it is possible to achieve a tertiary awakening of peace.

After a long time, the two eyes of Yeon-ju touched.

“So... You want me to go to Atlanta and claim my reward? ”

Since Yeon Ju was a summoned user before attacking Barbara, she should now know what I want. Also, to what extent does 1 stat point affect users?

“Ha, but…. ”

Nonetheless, I see a hesitant expression.

“Please…! ”

So I urged him with great desperation.

I really appreciate that, but this was the only way I could think of right now. I was fully aware of the battle earlier. My current user information will not defeat the Grand Duke of Hell even if I wake up dead. At this rate, even if you miraculously recover and make a second battle, the result will be the same.

As much as I wanted to catch a straw now,

Did he read the truth in my face?

“… Okay. ”

The classician who broke his lower lip suddenly stood up.

“I'll be back. I'll be back, so don't die. ”

Then he looked down at me for a moment and began to turn and run in the direction he had pointed.

‘Don't ever die.’ Finally, it became a dot in less than a few seconds and disappeared. I feel a sneak away at a terrifying speed. He's probably grinding his teeth by now.

Even though I've played this classical song, I can't be relieved. The moment I saw the four messages still floating in the air, and the moment I faced the harsh reality, I felt like I was plunging deeply. Even if I had hope for a short time with stat points, the situation did not change at all.

Objectively, of course, things are going to get better and better.

Jegal's horsepower stat reached 101 points and was' undefeatable. ’has risen in rank. Moreover, as soon as the high performer discovers the city, he will be able to take up to 101 points of health.

But when you think about it really hard, you think, "So? ’I don't think so. I've tried to mount a countermeasure, but I know that this situation is never going to go away.

If the opponent were Kushan Thor, he would have clenched his fists, saying he could win.

But the current opponent is the Duke of Hell. Truth be told, I don't think I can win against the Third Awakening of Peace. After sticking together for a while, it was an instinctual feeling. I strongly believe that the Grand Duke of Hell, who has the power of my allies, has already moved beyond the Third Awakening to a higher level.

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

The Pokémon's mediocre Awakening is not an opponent. I can finally feel the voice of peace calling out for desperate escape.

“ ……. ”

Suddenly, you hear flashes and trembling sounds.

No, actually, those were the noises I heard earlier. It doesn't look like it's lying down, but you can feel what's going on.

I heard the sounds of the Dragon Tiger screaming whales, the sound of lightning flashing, the sound of something loud bursting, the sound of liquid falling, the sound of the terror of hell burning.... Screams, of course, were being told that the great magical currents were a second away.

I closed my eyes because I didn't want to hear them. I felt like stopping my ears.

‘I told you to run away like that... ’

No, maybe running away was pointless.

Suddenly, when I thought about it, a laughter came out of nowhere.

Suddenly, I felt sorry for myself.

I thought we were close.

I thought I'd finally made it to Atlanta.

I thought if I tried a little harder, I could go home.

But...

‘What am I…. For what so far.... ’

I don't think I want to give up yet, but I want to do something about it, but the situation is already coming to an end.

A horrible disconnect in that gap.

Who knew I would feel powerless here again to do anything about the feelings I had at the time.

‘No matter how much I think about it, there is no answer…. ’

Then.

Knock!

Suddenly, a single raindrop fell on my forehead. Suddenly, I opened my eyes when I thought it was going to rain, and I felt the power in my eyes. At the same time, another drop of water flows down and hits my forehead.

... No, it wasn't raindrops, it wasn't drops.

It was tears.

Kim Han-star was crying, covering his mouth with one hand.

But there is no crying. The neck constantly draws a gorgeous figure to make sure you hold it in. The tears pour down your cheeks, but they keep falling down your chin. There was an unseen sadness and fear in those eyes.

Why is Kim Hanbyol crying?

What the hell are you looking at, crying like that?

“… Ah. ”

Did you feel my gaze, Kim Han-suh bowed his head and kissed my eyes. My lips tremble with awkwardness.

“Oh, brother.... ”

Kim Han-star called me with a shaky voice.

“Brother... Brother..."

Kim Hanbyol once again summoned me, lowering his head even more so that his nose could touch. And he looks me in the eye and whispers to me.

“You asked... Amor Nuntios…. That word.... ”

Yeah? Yeah.

‘Amor Nuntios? ’

In fact, I had to tilt my head because it was quite strange. I asked him what he meant a few days ago and he got a lot of tears.

However, Gimhanbyol did not care a bit. He just glanced at me for a moment and opened his mouth quietly.

“Actually, it's a word for a love message. ”

... What else could this mean?

When I suddenly raised my gaze, I noticed my beautiful eyes that sparkled a united gaze.

Before I could understand the words, Gimhanbyol's lips were cut off.

“So... I think I love you. ”

... love?

Then my mind became numb.

But Kim Han-suh's words did not stop.

“No, I love you. ”

“ ……. ”

“Yes, I love you. ”

“ ……. ”

“I love you. I've loved you since I first fell in love with you in the rites of passage. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Hanbyol repeated the same word three times. Suddenly, I was confused in my head. I thought I heard it wrong, but I didn't. Even though I was strangled by the feeling of intermediate flow, I loved the whispering voice. It's as if I'm going to say it right.

‘Suddenly, why are you saying... ’

I don't know what to say. I don't know if I'm on guard like last time, but a confession in a life at stake is too sudden.

At that moment, Gimhan Stars slowly raised his head. Then, the face that was close enough to feel my breath gradually became distant.

Kim Hanbyol opened his mouth.

“Are you curious? Why did you say this all of a sudden... ”

Then, looking at me, I still smiled sadly with a teary face.

“Because…. I don't think I'll ever get a chance to say it again. ”

Yesterday.

“Brother, I'm sorry. ”

It wasn't until then that I realized something was wrong. Then, just a moment ago, the noises that were ringing the eardrums became silent. Not only that, I could feel someone coming from the front.

‘There you are.'

You don't need to see the situation. The sound of footsteps coming from the Grand Duke was telling him that all the users of hell had succeeded in silencing him.

The moment I thought about it, I felt the ground gently touch behind my head. Kim Hanbyol was standing on the island of Juju. As you do so, you can see the trembling hand tucking away a handful of jewels into your arms. Then take one step forward.

I had to look at him quietly.

“Ha, Hanbyol. ”

Your body remains intact. It's hard to even move properly, rather than standing up straight. There's nothing I can do about it now.

Yeah, I...

‘ ……. ’

… damn it.

“Fuck... ”

The feeling of helplessness that came again made me swear profanity.

It was that moment.

-... you want to save her?

Suddenly, I heard the voice of peace when I only scratched the ground that I hated for no reason.

"Hwa Hwa"?

- We don't have long to talk. Just answer the question. You want to live or you want to live?

I heard that the tone of peace was closer to command. Somehow, it sounded angry.

Do you want to live or do you want to live? ’

It's the same thing if you think about it. However, the two words make a big difference.

‘That's it... ’

I don't know what he meant by that, but if he asked me to pick one, I think it would be obvious.

‘I want to live. ’

That was the moment I answered.

Tiring!

A user performer has discovered a city on Atlanta!

Congratulations….

Ancient Atlanta….

As a reward for discovering a city in Atlanta, GP to all users on an expedition….

Suddenly, several messages in the air began to be printed in an instant. But there was only one message that caught my eye.

"This is a City Discovery Reward in Atlanta that awards 1 Stat Point to all users on an expedition!

Finally, a straw falls before your eyes.

I'm sorry, but I finished writing yesterday around 04: 06, and I noticed that Joara was working on an update. I was very embarrassed that I didn't recognize the inspection in advance. (The inspection will start at 04: 00 and will be completed from 08: 00.)

Our sincerest apologies and deep understanding to our readers._(__)_

PS. I would recommend one BGM next time. I'll put it in this comment before I update it.
