MEMORIZE

Chapter 938 If You Change, One. =========================================================================

Around that time.

Although it was not a natural disaster caused by Kim Soo-hyun, there was also a stir at Warp Gate, which was somewhat far away.

Melinus was anxious when the reinforcements didn’t come no matter how long he waited, but he went directly to Erwin’s place.

But

“……!”

The walk across the battlefield came to a standstill less than 20 minutes later.

The hot air poked through my nose. There was a simmering sound coming from somewhere. Melinus’ mouth opened wide as he looked blankly around.

Five minutes ago, the noisy meadow became silent as if it had died.

No. It’s hard to say it’s grassland now.

In some places, the ground could not be broken into pieces, and a big hole was opened. This was enough to be believed as a sinkhole.

In other places, liquid mixed with melted flesh and blood is pooled like a puddle, and bodies with bisected upper and lower body regardless of human, fairy, and horse race were also scattered.

At that time, Lee Chae crossed Melinus’ eyes, who looked speechless.

“Growl….”

“Oh, Astarot!”

Astarot was lying seriously wounded. Deep stab wounds, especially in the chest and abdomen, were even still burning with black smoke. The first and second attacks were not affected, but they were not able to escape the bombing of the Deteriorated Sword.

It was fortunate in some ways that he was able to escape during the fourth attack thanks to his collapse.

Soon after Astarot struggled to pout his mouth, Melinus rushed to the place where Astarot had the most bodies.

It was only then that Astarot’s breath opened slightly when he hurriedly memorized the spell and made it into food and absorbed it.

“Whoo-hoo….”

“Are you all right?”

“…….”

“What happened….”

Melinus’ tone was very cautious as he knew how strong Astarot’s pride was.

But Astarot did not answer. Instead of opening his mouth, he only spits out his breath, but shows no reaction.

Melinus didn’t feel the scary energy five minutes ago, but he was just thinking that Kim Soo-hyun’s resistance was severe.

However, when I looked at it like this, I thought it was completely wrong even if something went wrong.

After asking for his understanding and running again, he was soon able to find Erwin.

Erwin sat on the ground and barely raised his upper body. There was a small hole in the middle of the chest, but it was not a serious injury.

Erwin shuddered, perhaps feeling the signs of Melinus. Then, Kim Soo-hyun, who is burying his face in his abdomen, was pushed away slightly.

“Melinus?”

“Sa…. Erwin, are you all right?”

Erwin struggled to stand up and nodded. My mind was still numb, but it wasn’t the time to be like this.

“I don’t care. Anyway, what happened to you?”

He asked immediately, but Melinus couldn’t easily bring it up. I was distracted for a moment by the unimaginable sight, but I had nothing to say when I returned to reality. His mouth wouldn’t fall even though he was filled with the groans of the dead and the wounded.

Did he feel strange because he kept showing signs of hesitation?

Erwin’s eyes were squinted at once.

“What happened?”

“Thanks to Sabnak’s quick movement, we have succeeded in surrounding the fleeing crowd.”

Once again, Melinus hurriedly bowed his head. This is not the time to look around.

“But their resistance was not easy, and as many as 30 new people suddenly came in and crashed into the rear….”

“But that’s less than 300 people. Even if there were shadows or spirits, there wouldn’t be six thousand people missing.”

“It’s actually… I was sending troops to the portal when I got unexpected attacks.”

“Attack?”

“Yes, I ran in the middle of the chaos, pretending to be my ally, and as soon as I got close, he suddenly attacked me. At first, it seemed like I was trying to steal the Memoria Stone, but when I managed to protect it, I immediately went into the portal.”

“So.”

“So…, not a small number…I rushed for backup….”

“…….”

Once again, Melinus blurted, Erwin chewed on his lips. I didn’t think so, but the variable really happened. Although he has succeeded in surrounding him, he has a strange amount of anxiety.

Erwin quickly turned his eyes away. It was a complete mess, but I had to pick up the troops as soon as possible, even if the time was delayed. It was then.

I could hear a sudden rush of a group from one side.

Melinus’ face, which turned without thinking, was distorted for a moment. The huffing crowd is clearly a West Continental user. They should be fighting right now, but it was obvious that they came here.

“Oh, my God!”

And as soon as I heard the following cry,

“Missed it!”

My heart sank.

“What!”

The source of the shout was Erwin, not Melinus. The man, about to catch his breath, momentarily spit out the hiccups at a harsh scolding.

“I let go.”

When he faced Erwin’s two eyes, he felt his whole body freezing. What if I jump bare into the cold frost? It felt like a rat in front of a snake.

“You know, I’m chasing you!”

Erwin said with his eyes wide open at the man’s gibberish.

“Straight. Speak.”

The beautiful voice suddenly lowered and a wicked tone was flowing. This was proof that Satan was extremely angry.

Eventually, a man who couldn’t stand the momentum suddenly dragged someone forward.

“It’s because of her!”

The woman who was thrown forward was none other than Han So-young.

The long straight hair, which had always been neat, became very messy, and there were many deep wounds, but Han So-young was definitely right.

Despite being finally caught, his expression is as emotionless as ever. Like I’m not going to give in to you guys.

“She suddenly came over to the Warp Gate and…!”

The man kept pointing fingers at Han, but Erwin was no longer listening. Should I say that I can’t hear the words?

There was no indication that his legs were loosened and he collapsed, but his shoulders, which had been upright until a while ago, were slightly stretched. And just staring in the direction of the warp gate.

Soon, close your eyes as if you were quietly lost in thought.

It was natural to lose strength to do so. Starting with waking up Thanatos, I looked at this one moment and went through all the adventures and put everything into vain.

This is why a war is not won. In a cold light, this war was also a defeat for the evil camp.

Eventually, the prophecy of the world was right.

A little later.

Amid Melinus’s loud voice, Han So-young calmly looked around. I was going to get a glimpse of the gap unless I died.

But

“……?”

Within a long time, I could find Kim Soo-hyun lying on the ground. Han So-young’s eyes, who had no expression on his face, were surprised.

“Mercher….”

Open your mouth reflexively, then shut it for a moment. Because something was strange.

Han So-young moved her arms unknowingly and pulled herself toward Kim Soo-hyun.

“Mercenary….”

I sang in a hoarse voice, but no reply came back. Far from the answer, there was no movement in sight.

Han So-young reached out her hand and carefully swept her limp in the blood that clung to her cheek. It was only then that the eyes that were comfortably closed were revealed.

“Majority….Load…”?”

Han So-young was only able to face reality. I haven’t accepted it yet.

The sound of breathing becomes rough. Han So-young’s trembling eyelids and Kim Soo-hyun’s face slowly get closer. Dark crystal-like eyes that shake relentlessly stare at the opponent.

I can’t believe he’s lying on the ground like that. I think I’m going to stand up as if I were to do it right now.

Han So-young’s super-sense, however, has been conveying the target’s information in detail since earlier.

I’m already out of breath. At least the remaining flame of life is quickly fading away.

After staring at Kim for a long time, he gently puts his cheek on Kim Soo-hyun’s face. The flesh was still tepid but it was cooling down.

“You…”

At that moment, Han So-young couldn’t overcome her emotions and hugged Kim Soo-hyun’s head. The mouth, which had opened slightly, slowly chirped, and the lower lip was crushed with the sound of “Ugh.” At the same time, a stream of transparent tears burst into silence, dripping down the cheek.

At that time, a sudden kick hit Han So-young’s back enough to make a sound.

“It’s because of her! She’s ruined everything! You son of a gun!”

A man kicked as hard as he could, spitting out harsh language. In addition, Han So-young didn’t even groan, even though she was beaten mercilessly without covering her head, face, back and legs. He just hugs Kim Soo-hyun as hard as he can and bawls.

How long has it been?

The kick, which seemed to continue constantly, suddenly stopped.

Han So-young’s face with frowning eyes gave a curious look. A man who was kicking him and an old man with a white beard were looking at one place with a slightly embarrassed face.

There was an open-eyed fairy staring at Han So-young.

At the moment when our eyes were intertwined, Han So-young felt a chill for no reason.

Erwin has a seemingly extremely restrained face. However, the other person’s feelings, which the super-sense tells, were being carried away horribly to the point where the word “run wild” was insufficient.

And when Erwin glanced away,

“Yes, yes!”

The man stood up automatically even though he hadn’t even called yet.

“This isn’t the only prisoner.”

“Well, that’s…”

“From now on, don’t kill anyone and bring them all in. Right now.”

“Well, I’ll do it!”

As he wanted to leave, the man quickly disappeared.

Erwin continued.

“Melinus.”

“Yes.”

“Bring in the most curable, user or fairy.”

“…I see.”

Melinus also moved quickly without hesitation. Of course, I have no idea why they are giving such an order, but I thought there must be some kind of meaning.

Because it’s Satan. I was about to give up and bring it to the brink of success.

Yeah, Satan hasn’t given up yet.

Erwin, who was slowly looking back at his son-in-law, stopped from the right. When he came back, Thanatos, with a slightly drab face, sat on the ground.

“Dear Mr. Thanatos.”

“No.”

As soon as the name was called, Thanatos said firmly. As if he knew what to say.

But Erwin continues to speak calmly without any sign of displeasure.

“How about Eldora?”

“It’s not impossible, it’s impossible. Even if your body is dead, it’s not hard to save your soul if it’s alive. But that case is completely different. Not only the body and soul, but also the roots of their existence.”

“Is there really no way?”

“I told you, he’s just lost his existence and going back to nothing.”

Thanatos rarely spoke longer than usual and then kicked his tongue at Kim Soo-hyun.

“It’s ridiculous that humans control the level of personality in the first place. You don’t know that, you don’t know that your life is being eaten up. You’re stupid.”

Thanatos, who said so, turned his head.

No. I was about to, to be more precise, but I suddenly frowned. This is because Erwin was still looking away. It was an unspoken look, as if they were told to find out even if there was no way.

Thanatos rose up in a fit of annoyance.

“No. It’s possible if my power is intact. We can force him to fill his life. But I only recovered three pieces because of the failure of my last plan, and even one was used to revive Eldora. What am I supposed to do now?”

Although he grumbled a lot, he eventually strides and puts his hand on Kim Soo-hyun’s chest.

Han So-young was already backing down according to her instincts. I didn’t understand what he was saying, but I thought Kim Soo-hyun might revive due to the atmosphere.

However, it disappeared like a bubble of hope even before hope was created. This is because Thanatos, who had been holding his hand for a while, shook his head with a sigh.

“I knew it. No. This is too much for me right now….”

It was then.

“…what?”

Thanatos, who was about to pull out, suddenly opened his eyes.

“This… Wait, wait….”

I quickly become interested in the appearance of my face, which was apparently annoying.

Soon after, he moved his hand to the heart and pressed it down on it.

“Ha? Look at this.”

With an exclamation of fun, a mysterious smile was placed on the side of my mouth.

“Control… wasn’t it?”

============================ Review of the work ============================

In this review, I’m going to answer the questions in episode 2 about what kind of plan I developed. Before we go into the Q&A, I want to say that you don’t have to think that I’m right. In any situation, there can be many branches, and I don’t think one is the right answer. So, as I said before, I would appreciate it if you could focus on “I’m right,” not “I’m right,” but “I wrote it down.” (I’ll exclude those questions if you’ve crossed the line.) Let’s get started. (I’ve read the comments in episode 10 and selected them.)

Q1. Wasn’t it all over once we got the zero code?

Sol ) No, it’s not. Zero code is not the end of acquisition, but can only be invoked through angels back to the summoning room. That’s why Kim Soo-hyun installed a warp gate near the law station. I can go back to the city as soon as I get out.

Q2. Why was the devil able to get to the North in a short time?

Sol ) The background of the current progress is the Central Continent, not the North Continent. And it’s a temple of promise on the central continent. If I misinterpreted the question (it was a comment on blocking the fleeing Kim Yoo-hyun group), the devil shot Ansol in the first surprise attack, but he succeeds in escaping to Zhugel Haesol’s base. And Satan gives Sabnak, one of the devil’s 14 monarchs, a tracking order. That’s why Sabnak could be outside the battlefield.

Q3. Wasn’t it right for Kim Soo-hyun to deal with the devil first?

So was Kim Soo-hyun. To be exact, he tried to look at the devil’s movements by targeting the Temple of Promise. At that time, the only advantageous situation for the devil was the surprise attack on the missing area (of course, this was Kim Soo-hyun’s response with the Warp Gate), or the North Continent was after it acquired the Zero Code. However, Kim Soo-hyun also experiences unexpected variables. Kim Soo-hyun and four women responded as soon as they entered the altar, which was not broken no matter what they did in the first episode. If he knew that, Kim Soo-hyun wouldn’t have come close to the altar.

Q4. I don’t understand Kim Soo-hyun going back to the battlefield alone.

Sol) If you have read from the beginning of Memorize, you may feel that Kim Soo-hyun in the beginning and Kim Soo-hyun in the present have changed a lot. At first, I was obsessed with killing Ko Yeon-joo and Yoo Hyun-ah, but now I’ve changed a lot. In fact, over 900 times, Kim Soo-hyun’s character changed his mind without realizing it himself, and recently, there were scenes where he obtained zero code, and psychological conflicts before and after he met his brother after he came out of the law. One thing is for sure, Kim Soo-hyun had a chance in this war. You have a chance to force your brother and Han So-young to escape. In other words, there were options to take my brother and Han So-young and to go back to the battlefield with my brother and Han So-young, but Kim Soo-hyun couldn’t choose either. He wanted to get his brother off the battlefield, but he couldn’t abandon his colleagues. So after the conflict, we end up choosing only half of each option. This means that Clan members, who were first treated as means, have risen to a similar level as Kim Yu-hyun and Han So-young over time.

And I suddenly thought of another comment (although it’s a different question), and I think it’s hard to compare the current situation to Gehen or before. At that time, Kim Soo-hyun was with many colleagues, and in fact, there was Won-ho who was treated by Elixir or other orders, and most of all, Gehenna Dan was the only one against him. However, when Kim Soo-hyun appears, Satan gives up everything and focuses on catching Kim Soo-hyun. As a result, he was surrounded by more than one enemy, and he had to prevent the reinforcements from going, not protecting anyone like he did then. However, it is true that Kim Soo-hyun has changed. If you’re sorry about that, I think it’s something any reader can usually feel.

Q5. I don’t understand why the North Continent collapsed so easily. Aren’t you trying too hard to create a dramatic ending?

Sol) Let me explain exactly the power of the North Continent. The total number of troops is close to 20,000, the highest elite is about 5,000, the veteran is about 10,000, and the remaining 5,000 consists of two to three years of users. Since then, Kim Soo-hyun and four women are excluded. On the other hand, the enemy’s forces were Thanatos, Four Great Demons, about 12,000 horse warriors, about 15,000 South and West Continental survivors shortly after the East Continental Battle, and nearly 30,000 fairies and spirits. In this situation, they shoot Ansol out of condition and gain the upper hand with a blitz attack. So during the eight hours when Kim Soo-hyun disappeared, it easily collapsed.Rather than a flag, wouldn’t it be possible to say that the enemy, who had a relatively dominant power, collapsed while holding out?

Q6. Why didn’t you catch the commander and only the subordinates when you activated your ability to chlorate?

Sol) After hearing that Kim Soo-hyun is out of law, Satan takes two actions. One is to send the West Continent to block the group of bribes that Kim Soo-hyun fled. And the other one gives up the remnants of the enemy and dispenses the rest of the troops to capture Kim Soo-hyun. Because the zero code was the most important. Of course, this is the same for Kim Soo-hyun, but there is one more at the same time. Kim Soo-hyun was not deprived of the zero code, while his brother and Han So-young (Kim Soo-hyun didn’t know about Han So-young’s departure at the time), and he had to think about the safety of the clan members who went in the same direction. If Satan succeeded in dispatching reinforcements, the worst situation would have been really unthinkable. So we had to stop the dispatch of reinforcements at all costs, and the only option we could do there was to activate chlorination. In other words, Kim Soo-hyun could not care only about the Great Devil. The body has already been seriously injured, and only 300 seconds of chlorination is allowed. Of course, dealing with the Great Devil could benefit from the wealth of the destruction of the Underworlds, but he feared he would miss either the South Continental user or the Fairy while chasing each of the four Great Devils. There were also commanding characters, and we had to keep in mind the possibility that enemies who fled in all directions could become reinforcements. So he used a big technique one after another to hit the other side evenly. He deliberately grabbed the fleeing enemies and hit them to the maximum extent. He chose to create confusion and fear based on overwhelming force, with the aim of not letting anyone go, which was slightly missed by the purpose of extinguishing the devil.

…though I wrote it down with this in mind, I think there’s definitely something unclear about this part, as you said. There were some comments that made me nod. As a result, I had to set up as many situations as I could convince you, but I think I failed to do so.

Therefore, I will make sure to revise this part after completion. Currently, a total of two amendments have been made. I thought about revising it right away, but I thought it would be better to do it after finishing it. The most important thing to me is the serial series, and I made the decision because I don’t want to waste my time on the remake until the end, so I ask for your kind understanding.

The reviews are longer than I thought.

I hope it was a good answer, and I hope you all have a great Sunday! 🙂
