Chapter 795: The Last (28)


“The coffee is good today.”


“Thank you, father.”


“Stop calling me your father. You’ll get too attached.”


“…”


“I knew it. Your intelligence isn’t high. Tactic Kim Hyunsung, my ass. You’ll be overwhelmed by even just Tactic Whitey… you’re just too greedy. Gosh… Pff… Pfff. Fuhahahehehe. Screw you, bastard. You have to learn Tactic Whitey first.”


“It’s… It’s not something ordinary humans can do.”


“Right?”


“Of course! It wasn’t easy even for me, so how can a human imitate my father? It is not a problem to be solved simply by having high intelligence, and it is not easy to judge and analyze how the battlefield works.”


“Really?”


“Even if he’s lucky and he succeeds, it’s nothing more or less than pretending or plagiarism.”


“What? You’re saying he’ll succeed with luck?”


“I’m just saying, what if.”


“Get out of here.”


“…”


‘Success, my ass…’


Looking at him now, I didn’t think that he would be so successful.


‘How can you succeed on something that even Jihye gave up on?’


Even Lee Jihye, who took on the role of commander, couldn’t properly handle Tactic Kim Hyunsung. She was limited to inputting a few simple words, and even that was based on her tactical choices.


I wasn’t talking bad about her. It was simply an area she couldn’t touch in the first place.


‘It was a bit different.’


She didn’t control Kim Hyunsung efficiently. I would like to give her a big score for using Kim Hyunsung as a fast infantry unit, but…


‘If so, why would there be any reason to use Tactic Kim Hyunsung?’


One could just train a fast infantry group and use it, right? Of course, no infantry could be as fast as Kim Hyunsung, making the assumption itself meaningless…


The point was that Kim Hyunsung could achieve the greatest efficiency when he moved as Kim Hyunsung.


The personal ability of the person who directed the strategy was important, but understanding Kim Hyunsung was even more so.


What he was thinking, what he could do, his current condition, the skills and habits he had, and even the very small details had to be in the tactician’s head, and doing that was by no means easy.


The bonds and true friendships built up by going through countless battlefields together, and our unity was created because we could trust each other wholeheartedly.


‘That’s our special move.’


My Mind’s Eyes indeed helped, but I was the main factor in it.


‘Fuck, practice all you want. You won’t be able to do it.’


I knew what he was thinking. Tactic Kim Hyunsung was frankly impressive, but where else could be such a wonderful sight? It was deployed at a very high speed. I understood he wanted to do it as well.


However, Kim Hyunsung wouldn’t give him a chance in the first place. Why would anyone abandon the latest smartphone and switch to an old 2G phone? If the phone didn’t burst, they’d be lucky. Wouldn’t his head pop and burst like what just happened?


-Blaaaaargh! Sigh… Sigh… Sigh…


-Are you okay?


-Blaaargh… Sigh… Sigh…


-Song Sookyung, I think we should call it a day…


-No. I’m fine. This is… necessary. There’s no guarantee that a war against demons in angel masks won’t happen again. Sigh… Sigh…


-…


-I need to adapt as quickly as possible. Everyone who lives on the continent should feel that our homes are safe.


-…


-It definitely won’t be impossible. I know that the Honorary Cardinal is a great person, but isn’t he a human like me? I think I need to go about it in a different way. First, an item that increases my intelligence stat… And if there is any potion left, that would be nice.


‘Is there a potion that boosts intelligence among the potions I made?’


“You’re even going to dope, huh?”


Some potions might have a similar effect as stimulants. Of course, I didn’t know if he could get one now. Everything that was left was what I made while I was alive.


‘What is on the market now will not work…’


-Can’t you increase the output of the device a little more?


-There is no problem, but there is a high probability that your body will be overwhelmed. As of now…


-The information that it can get is too limited, and everything in this place cannot be covered with my eyes… It seems that I need a way to take it directly in my head. If you don’t increase the output, we won’t make progress. Please raise the output. I will definitely be able to withstand it.


Apparently, the device was for that purpose. I expected it, but…


‘You really decided to die, right?’


Without the Mind’s Eyes and the telescope, that method would have been the best. Now I could understand what kind of role the helmet he was wearing had.


If he delivered information to his brain directly instead of allowing it to go through his eyes first, he could achieve similar efficiencies. Just reducing the time to recognize and accept information should give him room to take a breath, but that wasn’t enough.


-Will you really be okay?


-Yes. It may be difficult right now, but… If we wait a little longer…


“Wait for what?”


I looked at him with the Mind’s Eyes once again. His stats soon came into my eyes.


Intelligence 89.


And…


“It seems that he changed classes… a long time ago.”


Was it time for him to change classes again? I wondered. The fact that a new attribute would open when intelligence was over 90 and that they could get information about the class change was something already known on the continent.


The system suggested classes according to the adventurer’s behavioral patterns.


Assuming that he was well-experienced and repeatedly did that, he might get a class that suited such behavior.


“Wow, fuck, that damn bastard…”


What he was trying to do was blatantly obvious.


“That sly rat bastard.”


He understood the system. He was calculating how he could use it to his advantage and how he could achieve maximum efficiency.


I didn’t know if he got the right timing on purpose, but if he did, it meant that he had been thinking of this situation for quite some time already.


Still, even if so…


“That doesn’t change anything. Fuck.”


Tactic Kim Hyunsung wasn’t made free of charge. Naturally, I turned my gaze to Kim Hyunsung.


He looked a bit out of energy. It looked like he was coming back in the north without getting any big results.


It seemed that he brought some strange relic or item back with him, but he seemed to know best that it wouldn’t be very useful.


‘He looks a little bit desperate.’


I thought I should’ve sent him a sword.


When I accessed the market using Elune’s account that Benignore brought, various swords began to appear. I looked for something suitable, but…


‘Swords are too expensive…’


It seemed that heroes of other dimensions also preferred swords, and the price was as much as five times as high. It seemed unreasonable that a sword that wasn’t even close to Durendal cost so much. What made matters worse was that the cost of sending it to the present world was…


‘Too high… The expenses are too high.’


It was too much.


I didn’t know why he was walking down a snowy mountain where his feet were sinking, but if I had to guess, it might be because he needed time to think.


Sure enough, as he walked, he had a blank look on his face. After discovering a nearby cave, he sat down for a while and…


He then started to shed tears. After shaking his head once and slapping his face like the main character of a cartoon movie, he got up and leaned his back against the wall.


After slowly pulling out the Goddess’s Hand Mirror, he pressed the button with his thick hand. His face became brighter for a moment, but he soon took to the skies with a serious face.


He only became aware that the statue was shedding tears of blood.


He looked cool moving across the sky with his huge wings.


-Manager Kim Mi-young, are you there? Manager Kim Mi-young?


-Yes, Guild Master. This is manager Kim Mi-young.


-I have read the message. Just before I… No, exactly when did it start? When did it start?


-Blood tears began to fall from the statue from 11 o’clock on the 21st.


-Why didn’t you tell me faster! Damn it!


-…


-…


-I’m sorry, Guild Master.


‘Why are you talking like that to manager Kim Mi-young… you’re the one who didn’t read it… she’ll be hurt. Manager Kim Mi-young is having a really hard time these days…’


It’s difficult to live in a society… If she left the Blue, would he take the responsibility? It seemed that many places were scouting her…


-No… No… I’m sorry. I… I just… I’m sorry. I lost my temper. I apologize, manager Kim Mi-young.


-You don’t need to apologize, Guild Master. I should have come up with a way to contact you more directly… I was careless.


‘She’s too generous… Our manager is a real treasure.’


-Are there any other signs? Did another message come? Is it correct that the investigation has reached a guild-wide level? Those who know this now… Does Hyejin know about this? And about that spear…


He was talking too fast to understand.


-Yes. I told her…


-No, this is not the time. I’ll check it myself. Limit access to the temple. Control it from now on! Where is Hayan now? Can you come where I am?


-Jung Hayan doesn’t know about this yet, but… May I send her to the location you mentioned?


-No… It’s fine. She doesn’t know… that’s fortunate. You did well. I’m going as fast as possible. I’ll head straight to the temple.


While flying, he closed his eyes. It seemed like he was praying that nothing else had happened.


If someone died and they met again after a long time, would it still be the same?


Our healthy relationship was built based on a true bond, united with trust.


I could bet that the arrogant guy couldn’t replace me and that the situation where Kim Hyunsung abandoned Lee Kiyoung would never come. I remembered the old days when I was afraid of being abandoned, but now making such an assumption was meaningless.


In fact, I didn’t even have to worry about it. I should work at ease and find out if I could give him anything other than a sword.


‘I believe in you.’


I then began to send a similar message with a melancholic tone.


[I… I believe in the Sunset Swordsman.]


-Kiyoung! Kiyoung! Damn! Kiyoung!!!
