“Hmm.”

Gonghyuk stroked his chin.

‘Was the Dragon God the first one to be eliminated?’

Even so this was the first time I had killed a Heavenly Knight below the 5th floor.

Of course I thought there would be an achievement for the first defeat but seeing that it was the second defeater it seems that the first was the dragon god the strongest of the beast people.

‘It’s dangerous too. That guy.’

The Dragon God also has the potential to outwit even the devil at times.

In fact I remember having a harder time fighting him before clearing the Demon King.

But this was something to think about later and now there were people who needed to be taken care of before time ran out.

I left the place where I had killed Guardsand and moved on.

‘Selma Whispywood’ an archer whose neck and arms roll separately.

‘Bashar Al Hamidin’ the golem master who drowned.

‘Thoma Ambia’ whose upper body was tattered by thorn whips.

Among those who fought on their own two feet and were not helplessly hunted these were the only names he knew.

“Cluck cluck cluck.”

Among them there was one whose spark of life had not yet been extinguished.

If I were to say it differently I would say that he is a person whose flame will soon go out.

Hunter Raul Fontana exposing his heart and internal organs grinned at him.

“Are you finished?”

“okay. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Hey… really. “You get things done really quickly.”

“of course. “I am the most capable hunter in the world.”

“Damn I don’t know what to say after seeing that guy smashed to pieces. “Kuhup.”

Raoul swallowed the blood flowing back up his nose.

There are so many parts missing from the body.

It is already in a state where recovery is impossible even with a flower.

Gonghyuk knelt down on one knee and spoke in an uncharacteristically calm tone.

“Stop sleeping comfortably. “I congratulate you on having a meaningful death.”

“Kek you’re teasing me to the end. “Fuck you….”

He chanted with blurry eyes.

“Whether it is a meaningful death or a dog’s death dying is the same. Honestly I kind of regret it. “I should just close my eyes and run away.”

Several memories flashed through Gonghyuk’s eyes as he listened peacefully.

He placed his hand on Raoul’s right chest which was only half intact.

“It’s impossible not to have regrets in death. No matter how many times I die that doesn’t change. but···.”

I gently closed Raoul’s eyes with my other hand.

“Isn’t there something filling in this heart right now? Even if you call it self-consolation.”

“······.”

“Sleep comfortably without that feeling. I’ll take care of the rest. “I will remember you.”

With his last breath quietly Raoul opened his mouth.

“Raimi…”

Tears filled with the four seasons of life formed in the corners of his eyes.

And then the gray sandstorm blew and stole even that from him.

Gonghyuk slowly got up.

“I don’t have any cigarettes.”

A dirty feeling pricked my brain.

If there were any cigarettes left I would have burned my own eyes.

Cigarettes were a friend who always comforted him.

When he laughed at others lightning flashed in his head to get excited and when he was in a bad mood she helped him comfortably as if he had entrusted his brain to his mother’s arms.

The more he combined them the more distant they became from the original cigarettes but there was no doubt that cigarettes were his friends.

“A meaningful death is a good thing.”

At least two or three times.

He was able to give meaning to his death.

However if any death or any sacrifice returns to its original state it is…

The only conclusion I could come to was that it was just bullshit.

At least all the meaningful things and sacrifices that Joo Gong-hyeok did returned to nothing when he died and the noble deeds and self-sacrifices of countless nameless heroes were reset without leaving any traces on the world.

The only place they left traces was in Gonghyeok’s heart.

So many traces have been carved that now only ruins remain.

The traces were speaking.

‘Have no mercy in your heart.’

‘Stop adding meaningless traces anymore.’

‘I don’t allow people to die leaving it to others.’

There is only one way for the traces that created today’s public revolution to have ultimate meaning.

To end regression and create a world that has not been destroyed.

Many hunters fell for just that.

And he alone took on their karma one by one and went on to the next world.

Chijijik─

The entire fourth floor was filled with noise and a human shadow appeared in the air.

[Reinforcements appear!]

[We have gathered volunteers to fight against the Thousand Knights in the unique city on the 5th floor!]

Gonghyeok looked around at the people coming down.

The owner of Kali the Goddess of Slaughter ranked 2nd in the Hunter rankings. Christina C Mahadeva.

A quadrople avatar with four S-class avatars on its body. Liang Xian.

Edgar the silver arm the leader of the largest force the ‘Legion’.

The second-in-command of the legions the master of Hephaestus. Williford Hoover

The best tank in the attack group ‘Samson’ Ben-Hur.

Shakhtar the magic sword of the ‘Knights’.

The best avatar in the acceleration world Dragon King Orb’s Kawashima.

The attack force of 14 people regardless of affiliation was enough to boast that they were the strongest hunters.

“Little thing! You’re alive! “Where did the vampire who did this damn thing go?”

Azazel’s figure appeared in the air shaking with noise.

It was obvious that what the reinforcements had provided was all that was provided and that it would be difficult to interfere further.

Gonghyuk shrugged his shoulders.

“I just killed him.”

“······.”

She said ‘It doesn’t make sense. How can I get to level C? A hunter kills a thousand knights!’ Stop talking nonsense and tell me where he ran away! hurry!’ Rather than giving the same boring response I looked at the achievements and logs on the 4th floor with a stern expression.

“Really.”

“Wow how dead is this? 3000 people? 4000 people?”

“This is my first time seeing a mission of this scale.”

“So where is the Heavenly Knight? Everyone don’t relax. “Work hasn’t even started yet.”

“It’s nice to talk for a moment. “It’s ridiculous how dare you say this or that.”

The skilled people who landed with her began to search the surroundings.

Gonghyuk pulled Azazel’s soft arm.

“Azazel let’s leave them alone and talk among ourselves.”

She looked around and unfolded her soundproof shield and eyesight blocking powers.

“Oh angel where are you going?”

“What should we do?”

Leaving the confused hunters behind Azazel lowered his head and wiggled his toes.

“······. Hey Hunter Joo Gong-hyeok I’m trying to save people as much as I can…”

“Well a little over 50000 people died but 80000 people survived so it’s true that we saved a lot of people. “You didn’t do anything in particular.”

“······.”

“This has been quite a struggle. “I really almost died but I barely survived.”

“How did you win? “This is a temporary floor so proper records are not possible…”

“Yes stop.”

He interrupted Azazel.

“Isn’t what we should say before that is an apology for your incompetence and carelessness?”

“······.”

“Why were the 130000 humans who survived on the third floor attacked in a place like this?”

Gonghyuk was at eye level with the girl who was only about 150cm tall.

“It’s not because you didn’t do it right that you lost everything. You were angry at the demons for killing 40 people on the third floor just now right? But is 50000 lives a joke?”

“that···.”

“Say something!”

When he shouted harshly right in front of him Azazel was startled and took a step back.

He took another step toward her.

“what. Still the horn tar you gave me was useful. “If it weren’t for that we might not have been able to catch him.”

“Is this really true?”

When she looked up at him with eyes that seemed to have found a ray of comfort Gonghyeok folded his back and looked into her eyes from above as if crushing her.

“But I think he came here because of that Seumachu? “They say it’s an unfair deal and Cluesti is too prominent.”

“!?”

Although he didn’t say a single word it was a fact that could well be inferred.

On the third floor Gonghyeok became stronger than any of the previous regressions and broke the implicit moral order and balance established between angels and demons.

Even if it is not explicitly stated.

The devils who felt threatened by this even if it was a problem stabbed the angels in areas that were not clearly defined in order to give the angels a blow.

“I know you tried to take care of me but. “Wasn’t that too careless?”

“eww···.”

“Azazel it’s your fault. “I and all the hunters almost died here because of your incompetence and it was because of your carelessness that this happened!”

“Huh…”

Her eyes were overflowing with youthful moisture and droplets flowed down her clenched cheeks.

Gonghyuk thought about that for a moment.

‘I think it would be fun to at least get slapped here. Then you could really die.’

Nathaniel came out of his arms as he was thinking about his life as a betting chip.

-Azazel stop crying. Pop.

“Well I did something wrong I was incompetent so people…”

– It’s not your fault. It doesn’t make sense to know everything in advance and prepare for it.

Nathaniel glanced at Gonghyeok.

What I meant was don’t blame her for something that was impossible to prevent in the first place.

‘ruler. ‘Let’s finish the whip and give him a carrot.’

Gonghyuk spoke while calmly stroking Azazel’s head.

“Azazel 50000 people have already died because of your mistake. And it’s not just 50000 people. “Although it’s not your fault close to 10 million people have already died in Babel.”

“I can do something…”

“Do you remember what we said on the first floor?”

He opened his mouth wiping away the traces of her tears.

“You are smart and kind and um… okay. cute.”

– Is that what you want to say now?

“······.”

Gonghyuk lightly kissed Azazel’s forehead who looked up at him without crying and continued speaking.

“The saying “It’s all up to you” also applies to me. And I proved it myself. “By defeating the Heavenly Knight on this fourth floor.”

“ah···.”

“I assure you. Even if I give the same compensation I am the only person in this barbell who can do this.

Joo Gong-hyeok the hunter played by Archangel Azazel is the strongest and most capable in Babel and is the sharpest weapon to kill the Demon King.”

“weapon···.”

“I am on your side as long as you work for me. Become your most fearsome weapon and pierce the heart of the devil.

In a way that is… “Isn’t it more realistic than a hunter who barely reached the fourth floor of Babel killing a thousand knights?”

He sat Azazel on his lap and calmly combed his hair.

“You just have to do something first.”

“Then shall we first receive the title for the 4th floor?”

As I spoke while blowing Azazel’s sniffling nose Nathaniel looked like he was waking up somewhere.

– That’s what you said. I think it would be cool as long as you don’t get rewarded every time you open your mouth.

Palak

Gonghyuk’s fingers lifted the little angel’s skirt up.

-What are you doing you perverted bastard!!

“You just get what you deserve. “There are no achievements or rewards set here.”

– What does that have to do with lifting someone else’s skirt?

“I feel like he’s been upset lately because I don’t play with him.”

– Stop it! If you keep doing that it will look real!

“So what did you wear?”

– Stop this guy!

A notification window appeared in front of him as he skillfully lifted the skirt enjoying the sight of Nathaniel desperately trying to hold down the skirt.

[The title “Savior of the 4th floor” has been acquired]

[Boss monsters only on the 4th floor…]

[Currently two Savior titles have been collected. When you collect more than 5 savior titles a new title appears]

[Unique title! Obtained “Super Rookie who defeated Thousand Knights on the 4th floor.”

– Only those demons that notice this will become more hostile.

– If you wear this title when dealing with a Thousand Knights all abilities will increase by 25 points.

[The special merit ‘Archangel Azazel’s Complex Recognition (A)’ has been obtained]

[You can often get Azazel’s cooperation if you want. Maybe this will develop into a personal feeling]

‘Can I really listen to humans this well?’

Azazel was sitting calmly on Gonghyeok’s lap with a complicated expression on his face.

And Gonghyeok was combing Azazel’s hair conflicted about whether he should pull Azazel’s cheek.
