Crazy Talented Ex-Villain

chapter 149



Wolf Hour (5)

Do you know what [self-sacrifice] means?

The questions in my head quickly branch out into many directions.

Did he go mad at the thought of taking his place to die, or did he hypnotize himself to meet a heroic end?

“Although it reconstructed its body, the color of the damaged parts did not return to its original state. If you deal a big blow, you should be able to buy a moderate amount of time.”

“… That sounds odd. You got a hole in your thigh. Did the monster come on its own and greet you?”

“You have to pretend to be natural.”

“… … .”

“He’s a clever guy. He knows how to take advantage of his small size, and he knows how to look down on the entire battlefield rather than the enemy in front of him. So, if there is a hole in the first line, it is sure to dig inside again.”

Philippe Noire’s opinion seemed to make sense at first glance, but at the same time, there were not a few loopholes.

“There is no means of escape for that. The vehicle flew right away. You should be able to run on your own two legs, but marksmen will tire quickly.”

In response, I spit out a crude tone and raise my head.

While the clouds turned red and yellow, tankers and dealers blocked Trokilgigas’ path and wasted time.

Is it the aftermath of a fierce fight, or is it because the hummingbirds jumped out of the ground and overturned it? The sandy floor was filthy and filthy in places.

“Larson, back!”

“… Shit!”

Meanwhile, the front line collapsed immediately, and humans, exhausted from the long battle, were individually resisting against the remaining monsters.

My gaze is soon to the farthest.

Head to the place where the support unmanned vehicles were lined up.

From spare shields and various weapons to jewelry and food and beverages. Everything in the vehicle was left scattered on the floor, and of course the vehicle was either flipped upside down or emitting smoke.

In other words, unless he escaped alone, he could not save several people.

“There is a monster.”

“… … ?”

“Not that bastard, yours.”

Then, all of a sudden, my brain flashed.

I had forgotten the existence of Venetus and Scorpio.

“I don’t mean to reprimand you. It was a smart decision. Even if I put it on the field anyway, I wouldn’t have been able to catch up with the enemy’s speed.”

But anyway, the man with whom I was entangled in a bad relationship spewed out a soft tone as if he had misunderstood the brief silence.

“just… I just forgot.”

“yes. I guess so.”

“… … .”

“Anyway, if you climb on the monster’s back, you’ll be able to get away at about the same speed as the vehicle. You know the escape route, so run away without looking back. Considering your abilities, you’ll be able to kill someone someday, but today isn’t the day.”

“There must be a way to join them and continue fighting.”

“My ally’s damage is too severe. Above all, almost all of the support heroes were defeated. So I can’t give you any buffs, honestly… I don’t know how long my team’s melee heroes will last.”

It’s not like I’m trying to be stubborn.

Considering the power loss of the allies and the front line that seemed to be pushed out at any moment, the odds of winning were close to zero.

However, there was one fact that he didn’t know.

“Everything is fine, but he will come after me first.”

“… Trokilgigas? Are you going to follow me?”

“yes.”

A puzzled expression froze in the other person’s eyes, but unfortunately, there was no time for a leisurely explanation.

“Cool!”

“The main team tank line is leaving!”

Team Fate’s tanker-Gerard couldn’t overcome repeated symptoms of poisoning and vomited blood, and around the same time, the heroes of the supplementary team 1 also covered their mouths and retreated.

Each of them announced the end of the given time in different ways, such as a change in skin color, blisters, or gagging.

If that’s the case, it’s my turn again.

If the first line collapsed, it would take an instant to reach the second and third lines, so I had to wait.

At least, I thought so.

“If you collide with him on the way… open the way.”

“… … .”

“Not to be seen.”

A man with a high reputation who is ranked 13th in the international ranking (as it was in his previous life) struggles to get up on my shoulder.

“Battle control room, survivor briefing. We classify people who can evacuate, and exclude people who cannot move on their own.”

“… … .”

“Operation Code SCF01. As of the current time, the subjugation will switch to the power conservation phase of the PL.”

In addition to this, even giving clear orders to the battle control room.

Although he never openly accepted it, a strategy was prepared to escape in the blink of an eye.

“The earphones are damaged.”

“… … .”

“receive.”

While the allies face thousands of hummingbirds, Philippe Noire hands over his earphones with his eyes fixed on the enemy.

[Frequency channel readjustment. PL00, this is the combat control room. Please respond.]

“… PL00, good reception.”

[PL falls to the end as of the current time. Immediately after the collision, except for PL00, PL00 check the situation and get out of the body immediately. So as not to overdo it and continue the fight… … .]

In the meantime, the hummingbird’s servant was bursting into laughter again.

Paradoxically, it freed up time for a final conversation.

“Did you hear me correctly?”

“I heard you. But for now, let’s focus on the retreat operation. Even if the monster wants to chase after you, I won’t let you.”

“He said he was going to use [Self Sacrifice]. If you don’t let it go, what will you do? By then it was already-”

“yes. I’d be gone But you are… Don’t underestimate the price of my life.”

It sounds incomprehensible.

Are you sacrificing for the sake of me who never met you?

If not for whom?

If it’s me… If I were a middle-aged person in front of me, I would instinctively pull myself out and aim for the next one.

Then, suddenly, he asked.

“Do you like candles? Something that burns candles.”

“… I like it more than lights.”

I gave a useless answer to a random question, but Philippe Noire laughed at what was so funny.

“right. The lights are brighter but colder. I hate lights too. Candles are warm. When there’s only one, it looks terribly dark, but it comes to light when you need it most. I grew up from that spark. The child who shivered in the shelter under the bridge became a being who handled light and stars.”

“… … .”

“So, this is not a sacrifice just for you. A candle burns itself to give light in the dark. Not to completely drive out the darkness, but sometimes to sprout hope.”

“It’s grand. Hearing it from the position of having to run away is so comforting.”

He obviously has something I’ve never had, and soon he pours out words stemming from jealousy. Resistance is toweringly blocked by gossip.

“Someday you will understand. It’s not a grand argument. It’s just that one candle can light hundreds of other candles.”

“Even if your candle is going to go out?”

“When we are together, even a candle that has gone out can be rekindled.”

Annoyingly indeed, the argument is cut short by the monster’s interference.

He had been laughing quietly for a while, but when he was in the middle of his anger, he rushed at him.

Beneath the crescent moon.

[Moonlight], [Revenge], and [Overcome physical limitations] with other specialized abilities… Dominance quickly split.

Kwajik!

Kkaduduk- Boom!

Fighting alone without the support of a Tier 1 international raid is insane.

Due to being pushed from the speed, my left shoulder emptied without the time to extend my fist. Soon, the snake’s snout will tear off the flesh in chunks.

Fortunately, it was that the bleeding was not large and that the grip that came in from the right side was well blocked.

The gauntlet is shattered in the process of defense, and the situation quickly takes a turn for the worse.

It was a piece of equipment that cost quite a bit of money, but it didn’t seem to be able to withstand the extreme environment.

Therefore, the next movement straddles the line between prediction and experience.

puck! Kudos!

While my perceived time has increased, the opponent’s perceived time remains the same – the number of times my eyes can’t keep up with the enemy’s attacks increases.

Of course, he was in a hurry to block the effective blow without even thinking about it.

Nevertheless, efforts were made to minimize the damage.

The fist flying to the left finishes at the line that gives away part of the forearm. Instead, the snake’s head, which was aiming for the side at the same time, is slashed with the right hand.

One after another, he kicked his toes forward and aimed at the enemy’s shin, but the intention itself was a defensive attack.

If he thrust his shield in without any reaction, he used his shin as a stepping stone and took two steps back as a cornerstone.

About 60 fights were exchanged in about 1 minute.

And now, it’s time to humbly admit it.

There is no such thing as a turning point.

[PL00, sensor signal is not coming in. If the damage is severe, it will be difficult, so please open the road!]

Of course, the road did not open easily.

Even if I didn’t use nonsense, the opponent had room to spare, and I had already moved my eyes backwards several times.

Anyway, I was going to figure out the way.

“… Space cover!”

Indeed, the servant of the hummingbird moved like a human.

It seemed to hit the bottom of my feet with a shield, and then shook my center of gravity by inserting my legs near my waist.

So, without much damage, I straightened the center of the body, but… no more chasing

Fu-wook!

fleeting moment.

Without any screams, drools or sighs, Philippe Noire’s abdomen was pierced.

Then, the first team.

A pale-faced Inner Mongolian spearman, Agima Jaya, approached and grabbed the enemy with his bare hands. Even the American giant, tanker Gerard, attacked his back and added a hand.

“… Light, speak hope.”

[PL00, hurry up!]

but it seems unreal.

For some reason, the sight of Philippe Noire, reciting incantations as if all of this was natural, caught my eye.

Ignoring the radio in my ear, I stay where my intuition leads me.

“Speak frivolously, lest the darkness be afraid. Happiness is contained in my heart, so use it as fuel to kindle the spark that leads to tomorrow. When I was in despair and dark, I lived and grew up receiving from you. The time has come to give it back.”

[Geboorte van Morgen: The Birth of Tomorrow]

<… It’s a smart choice. You have to see the end.>

And at the end of the parrot’s remark, which was very late, a group of lights like broad daylight burst out.

Parss.

I know it sounds strange, but the aftermath of [Self Sacrifice] was neither hot nor painful.

It feels thick and soft enough to make you wonder if you can hit a monster with just this.

However, this technology is not originally a technology that does not harm humans. Even belatedly, I realize that something is protecting me.

<Who could be more resentful than you?>

It was the blessing of the moon goddess, Koyolsauki.
