Ep.186 – Art of Light
I was determined to be a villain in this world.
The only reason is, to protect Stardus.
In other words, it’s all for Stardus that I’m trying to keep the villain concept.
But I can’t protect Stardus because of the villain concept I have for Stardus? That’s nonsense. It’s completely not putting the cart before the horse.
That’s why I, at this moment, appeared here.
I mean, concept or not, I have to prevent Stardus from dying.
“Ta-da. Hello, I’m Egostic!”
So I said so with a smile, with my arms wide open, in front of the ruined devil’s
.
Well, and there was no response. Only the cold wind brushed past my cape. This is why performances without audiences are sad.
But of course, it’s because there’s only a half defeated Stardus around me and a demon who looks absurd in front of me.
In the chat window of the live broadcast, which just started to live throughout the country, was just chaotic.
*
[?????????]
[Fuck hahahahahaha I’ve always trusted you!!!!!!!]
[Egostic!!! Egostic!!! Egostic!!! Egostic!!! Fuck hahahahahaha]
[Ah haha Isn’t it “common sense” when a hero is in danger?]
[Like if you’re from Mango Union and currently crying while bowing from East to West, North to South hahahaha I’ll go first hahahaha]
[This is it! Hahahahahahahahaha]
[Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~ Mangkiyahoo~]
[I feel better after seeing this scene. Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you]
[S-class hero Apple Mango appeared hahahaha]
*
As expected, the chat window is heating up.
Jeez, well, it wasn’t surprising because I predicted it in advance. Rather, I only had some concerns about how to deal with this.
And, of course, I have a plan.
“Long time no see, viewers! It feels brand new to see you again in this situation.”
I started talking in earnest.
Something that no one has ever asked.
“Well, I was resting at home, and it suddenly became a mess. That’s where I work too? I came running because I was speechless. How can you ruin someone else’s business like this?”
I said so, turning the camera around the ruins. Giving them a very absurd expression and tone as a bonus.
And the viewers, too, understood my mind.
*
[What???]
[Where he works = Where they terrorize… Working = Terrorism sounds right… Is it?]
[What do you mean? Fuck hahahahahaha]
[Mango, are you ashamed of being a hero???]
[Why can’t you say that you’re here to protect Korea?!!!]
[Why don’t you listen to Mango? Why can’t you do that to our hero!]
[Oh! That’s right~ He’s definitely a villain]
[Guys, stop saying ‘Really haha’ Hahahahaha]
*
…Isn’t it?
Anyway, that’s not the point. The image will recover after a few terrorist attacks anyway, so it’s important to be brazen for now.
So I quickly continued the next word.
“Anyway, what I want to say is that it doesn’t matter what villain does or what kind of terror he does. But what? It’s hard to make a fuss like this without my permission to be in charge of this area. Anyway, the conclusion is…”
After I said that far, I smiled and said, pointing my hand at the devil standing in front of me.
“I’m going to finish that guy that Stardus has caught.”
[…Ha.]
Come out, the devil who was slowly drawing the spear towards Stardus behind him.
Soon he was watching me, and I laughed like I was dumbfounded.
And, at that moment.
[Your burden looked ridiculous.]
Thump-
‘Ugh…’
At the end of his low recitation, the air quickly sank heavily.
The intense pressure I feel all over my body that I can’t breathe for a moment.
I managed to withstand the moment I almost lost my balance in it.
…Wow, fuck. Does it mean that Stardus has fought with all this? It’s even weaker than before?
The moment I thought about it in my mind.
From the front, the ear-piercing roar rang like a downpour.
[Who dare to step in front of this body—–?]
And, at the same time.
A black shadow with the size of a house ran toward me at a tremendous speed.
*
[KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
[Come to think of it, can Mango beat that?]
[We’re fucked We’re fucked We’re fucked]
[Run~]
*
Like that, the moment I was on the verge of becoming Ego / stic*. *TN: Here the character means he almost got sliced in half.
I took out something that I had prepared in advance, which looks like a white shining spear.
As he swung the red spear at me.
I pick that shining spear up vertically, sticking it to the swinging trajectory.
And blocked him just like that.
Slash-
“Urgh…”
[You… You punk—–!]
Right in front of the dark devil’s castle.
There, red and white lights hit each other with fireworks.
In front of the devil who could not imagine that his attack would be blocked, or that he felt his face frowned even though he was invisible.
I pushed my arm with a spear, raised one corner of my mouth and said to him.
“Why… you didn’t expect this, did you?”
[ARGHHHHHHHH—!]
Sling-
BANG.
Soon, our spears bounced back, and the devil, embarrassed that his attack was blocked, bounced back while sounding like losing his mind.
…As expected, he seems to be losing his intelligence as if he’s almost eaten up. Certainly, thanks to Stardus’ long fighting, it’s a lot easier for me to deal with.
So while he was observing me, I grinned and swung my shining spear from my hand.
[…..]
Still, maybe he’s completely lost his mind, the guy has been searching for me for a while.
Yeah, he must be shocked. He would have felt that he was losing his strength when he suddenly faced off against me. Against me who looks weak.
But the truth is, I’ll be in a harder situation than him. Well, I’m not a person who fights directly…
I’m standing smiling as if nothing had happened, but in reality, my legs are shaking because of my own life and pressure. In fact, it is impossible for me to face one-on-one with the guy who marks the peak of power inflation in the original comic.
…But, of course, I found a way.
If it’s not just my natural ability… I can use the item foot, right?
I took out once more such a white shining spear.
The final weapon for the great-devil. It’s a sacred weapon that is perfect for dealing with a self-proclaimed devil who has made the most of the knowledge about the original comic.
I pointed it at him and shouted with the corners of my mouth raised.
“Now, don’t just stand there and look like a coward, come in!”
Fuck, bring it on. I’m invincible after getting an S-level item.
Unsurprisingly, he was angry at my provocation.
[Ha, now I’ve got a freak coming at me-!]
[I’ll tear you apart——-!]
The devil rushed at me again, saying something very dreadful.
And I also flew towards him with a grin. Yeah, there won’t be another opportunity like this in the future, so you should enjoy the taste of the item as much as you can. Taste my holy spear.
So I started fighting back with a guy two or three times bigger than me.
Flamboyant red and white sparks. A wild wind. And crazy viewers.
*
[Wow, fuck hahahaha He’s so good at fighting after saying that he’s the last one hahahahaha]
[S-class hero, Apple Mango, why is he running crazy like this hahahaha?]
[What’s that shiny stick that Egostic is holding? It’s very reverent and sacred.]
[Egostic with a lightstick]
[The winning side is too obvious though. Is this right? Hahahaha]
*
And I was just beating the devil.
“Haha, it’s so easy, maybe because Stardus have taken care of it all!”
[Ugh, you punk—-!]
A sacred white light continued to shine as if it overturned the space coming out of my spear. Mr. Devil, who was being hit from the front, was about to die of joy.
…Of course, I’m starting to feel bad, too. Even if he rotted, he was one of the strongest in the original comic, an S-class villain, who spread his threatening vibe and pressure like crazy. I felt negative about what kind of mental manipulation was being done there, and I seemed to hear a strange whisper.
On the surface, it seemed to overwhelm the already weak guy, but in reality, I was also in danger at that moment.
And.
Of course, I was prepared for this situation.
[Da-in, everything’s ready!]
“Really?”
Seo-eun’s words are coming from my ears.
Realizing that the time was imminent, I swung the spear at him a few more times and said with a smile.
“Hey.”
[Arghhhhh, you punk——-!]
“Farewell.”
[….What?]
Having said that, I swung a shining spear at the devil, kicked him, and got away.
I shouted, cutting through the air, pointing the spear at him as it was.
“Shoot!”
[Yes!]
At the same time.
A flash of light.
Above the rooftops of the buildings surrounding us, some white light. To be exact, I’ve prepared a grand-horse-long last weapon. The so-called holy canon flashed everywhere.
[…What the!]
Like that, with the devil’s last words.
Pshhhh.
Boooooom.
Booooooooom.
Booooooooom.
Boooom.
From all directions above the sky, numerous rays of light struck him in unison, with a tremendous sound.
[ARGGGGHHHHHHH—–!]
The devil’s cry.
And as I watched the light flash, I muttered without realizing it.
“…This is art.”
This is art.
