A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard

048. Unexpected all-out war

Knowing that Selene was a tough opponent, Endymion pulled out nearly full strength.

Shuuu—

The sound of wind blowing from somewhere. It was the sound of the soul flowing.

‘If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here.’

I couldn’t help it now that I was in front of Selene. Do not resent or do anything.

‘Even if they see me as a monster… It’s because I’m not good enough.’

In that sense, I don’t know if I know what a person’s heart is. Her ugly Endymion must have been the one who came to know her own true color, but what kind of lingering attachment did she have to come here by selling her own footsteps?

‘Is it an obsession?’

I knew right away that her obsession was severe. However, that’s why… Endymion seems to have liked Selene’s embrace.

‘Because he just loved me without conditions.’

To that extent, she can admit that she did not want to hate Selene, although she did not know it before.

She had never been loved like that before, and how it thrilled her heart and warmed her heart….

‘Even this is just an impression that has become meaningless now… ‘

A plan that sits deep in your heart like a long-cherished wish. In executing it, Selene’s love for her must be the most unique in the world.

‘You have to be strong.’

She solidifies her resolve and draws her sword. She then did what she never wanted to do… Even pointing her sword at Selene.

Selene didn’t show any signs of embarrassment at that series of movements. She’s like someone who has already made all of her decisions. She only looked at Endymion with an unwavering, upright attitude.

I could see strong desire and possessiveness in her eyes. And stronger than that were her feelings of affection and sorrow.

“Do you remember the conversation we had before we parted ways?”

This was also the reason why she put the conversation ahead of things that would be convenient if she put her arms first.

“…….”

I remember. In the yard where I remember things of the distant past, where is the reason not to remember that?

Just… The reason I didn’t open my mouth hastily was because I didn’t want to show any gaps in my feelings.

If Selene came in through that gap, Endymion would really be helpless.

“I told you, who the hell are you?”

It’s a faint memory, but it’s never been a long time. Selene also remembered exactly what happened back then.

It wasn’t just that she had a good memory. No matter how good her memory was, it was her nature to relentlessly forget anything she thought was of no value to her.

Then the answer will come. The answer to the question of why Selene remembers the conversation we had then.

“Then you gave me the answer that I was a porter I picked up in the war… It wasn’t the answer I wanted, so I asked you for a different answer.”

And Endymion said. Her own miserable life. Origin of power. A feeling of self-loathing that can’t be relieved even if you carry it all your life.

Selene hadn’t been able to respond to him when she revealed herself in detail. Because she was just as confused and perplexed.

If she had known that the result of her complacency was her breakup with Endymion, if she had known that he would hurt her heart more….

If so, she would have done this… No, at least she would have done that…. After that incident, until I met Endymion here today.

She repeatedly regretted her elongation, recalled that time, and chewed on Endymion’s words.

We promise to meet again someday, a day like today.

“At that time… The words I couldn’t bear to tell you. I’m finally able to tell them.”

The resonance of the voice deepens. As if releasing something that had been buried for a long time, suppressed yet restrained emotions were carried in his voice.

Even so, Selene showed her calm expression. Even if this moment trembles, it’s because this was also what he was determined to do.

“It doesn’t matter who you are or what past you have.”

“…….”

“Just… just because I can accept you as you are.”

It was also a funny concern in the first place. No matter what past Endymion harbors remorse for, she was an irrelevant part of Selene’s love for him.

“In the first place, it wasn’t something I cared about. At the time, I was acting like an idiot, so I missed the timing…”

I was able to infer the feelings she must have felt for her foolish self from the fluttering movement of her head.

Although this is also a thing of the past.

“I came to pick you up like this, with the intention of correcting the mistake I made at that time.”

A slow reaching hand. It was like the last chance Selene gave. Knowing this vaguely, Endymion stared at her hand.

‘I can’t believe you’re conflicted even at this moment….’

He burst out laughing. If it was going to be like this, what was the use of all the resolutions and resolutions. No matter how difficult it was to maintain immobility, the problem was that the agitation of the mind was too fast.

‘Was it difficult?’

Aware of the selfishness of what he had been doing, Endymion was quite worn out. Even if he did not suffer from his guilt, as his wrongdoings piled up day by day, he suddenly aroused a sense of skepticism.

‘Come now?’

Ha, another mockery. This time it was a mockery directed at himself. It’s long since it’s too late for him to regret it. The line of no return had been crossed for a long time, and now all he could do was go straight ahead.

Take a step back is an impossible situation in the first place. What do you do if you feel skeptical? It’s all because of Endymion’s own karma.

‘Anyway… Even if I regret it, as long as I can fulfill my original plan, it doesn’t matter.’

I… He stopped talking and met Selene’s gaze. She was still beautiful Her eyes are like infinite jewels. It was too much for me, Endymion suddenly thought.

“…I’m not going to hold that hand. So please let me down.”

“Can you take it as a sign of refusal?”

I think it was a kind of euphemistic refusal, but was it because I was too vague? No… Maybe it’s just because of Selene’s lingering feelings.

… Either way, what does it matter? Endymion took hold of the atmosphere and held the roaring ghost energy in his grasp.

“Yeah… If you’re going to make that choice, then I have no choice.”

The air of the son-in-law is heavy. The two gave off an atmosphere as if they would clash at any moment. An immediate situation – then.

“I wish I could fight soon after seeing the two of them… But I can’t.”

Haewoon’s words were the starting point. The tight protest was suddenly cut off.

She suddenly frowned and glared somewhere in the distance, as if something had caught on her psyche.

“Is this… a sudden wind wave?”

When you see difficulties or collapses that occur suddenly, it is called a sudden storm. It was as Haewoon said. Endymion, who had no energy to focus on her opponent, was about to notice her when he turned his attention to her.

“Why doesn’t this happen… I thought.”

So far, there are only a few worlds he has erased, and how many corpses are left from killing the Transcendental Enforcer who came because of it.

If it weren’t for the level of a brainless worm, he would have sensed the abnormality right away and sent a more reliable means of handling it.

I can’t believe that… I never dreamed that it would be a group of transcendentalists in their thirties.

‘Excessive yet… I’m sure.’

There is no excessive feeling. No matter what Endymion did, it would have been disrespectful for them to have a transcendental figure approaching thirty come because of it.

However, with that amount of personnel and power, Endymion was definitely a difficult move to handle.

He looked down at Selene. Selene, who sensibly guessed what the words in her staring eyes might be, lowered her head slightly, but only lowered her head.

“I didn’t bring it. It’s just… I think those chideul’s actions were their own.”

Even Selene thought she was strange. She obviously didn’t show any signs of this until she came here….

‘What is it?’

Has there been any change of heart as a group in the meantime? It is unknown in detail, but Selene also put aside the idea of confronting Endymion immediately, and she focused on those who would come.

Soon, they encountered a group of Transcendentalists.

* * *

A 30-year-old transcendent descending from the air. The eyes of the three passengers looking at them were not good. It has to be. Whether or not they tried to fight each other, those 30 people were the uninvited guests who suddenly intervened.

“A lot of people came?”

Endymion got lucky first. Then, the one who seems to be the representative of the group confronts him.

“Are you an outlaw who disturbs the order of the universe?”

“It must be from your point of view.”

It was Endymion with a somewhat hostile attitude. However, this is just a calculated action. In fact, Endymion did not feel sorry for them.

Really, it’s Selene who seems to be sorry for them.

“…….”

She was silently glaring at the uninvited guests. A softly burning fire. But it was by no means an insignificant fire. Because Selene’s current state was a very dangerous ember that could become a scare and attack the enemy at any time.

At first, it seemed to be suppressed. Of course, from Selene’s point of view, those 30 were on the same side anyway.

No matter how lofty she is, she must be cautious about antagonizing the 30 or so people she belongs to.

‘Quiet is better.’

Endymion was fortunate to know that. She is the person who has already earned all sorts of hatred, and there is no image that will make her look bad any more—because Selene is not like that.

“I never thought the words would work anyway. We just do what we have to do.”

He spits out words that clearly predict what will happen in the future, and then he adds a grandiose word to his words.

“Under the noble name of the great cause, you will be punished.”
