The World After Leaving the Hero Party

79 – It’s not easy – 2

“Now, wait. What was the most painful thing?”

It wasn’t just Veronica who was perplexed. Leventia and Evangeline, standing behind them with shocked faces, also had shaking legs.

Well, I did. Those two have experience fighting the demon lord.

I knew very well what had happened when I faced the demon king at that time.

In other words, if you go there, you can experience that experience again.

no, maybe…

“I told you. It won’t be easy.”

Even in the game, if you go through this ordeal in a party, more than half of them will be retired here.

As such, one of the strategy was to end the ordeal by sending only one character with the highest mental strength.

There is no need for many people to suffer.

As much as there is a wall in my heart, I can minimize the damage.

“It’s okay if I do it alone, so you guys are resting here.”

“However…!”

“If you challenge and succeed in the ordeal, you can see the past of other challengers. Maybe a dark history might be revealed?”

The four of them shut their mouths. I laughed at them.

“Then what about you?”

“uh?”

“Look me in the eye and tell me. Are you really okay?”

I stared into Veronica’s turquoise eyes. The emotions in those eyes were anxiety and worry.

“Yes.”

“What if you tell me to make eye contact and avoid it?”

“Keuheum. No, suddenly…”

met eyes again. I stared at Veronica’s pretty face and said right away.

“Really fine.”

“Hyunwoo, aren’t all the things you have now mental tranquilizers…?”

Leventia’s eyes grabbed my belongings. Cecil and Evangeline’s eyes turned to my equipment. The belt that can be inserted into the potion, and the things in the ring of the robe were all mental stabilizers, as she said.

There are walls in the heart, but you have to be prepared just in case.

“You… you meant to go in alone from the beginning… didn’t you? …the you I know… if you really meant to take everyone with you…”

gulp.

Leventia, who swallowed once, looked at me sadly.

Just as she is about to speak.

Veronica took my hand.

“That’s right. If it were you, you would have handed out the tranquilizer…”

This is why people I’ve known for a long time are afraid.

I never thought you would analyze me like this.

“I was the one who said that I would lift this curse in the first place. So it’s only natural that I do it.”

“Ah! Catching demons is a request from us!”

that’s true

Leventia and Evangeline were looking at me almost crying. I won’t be able to talk to them. I immediately turned my gaze to Veronica.

But he was no different from the other kids.

“It’s inefficient if there are a lot of people. It’s a waste of mental tranquilizers.”

“Then let’s use this tranquilizer.”

Why is he interfering again?!

Cecil received something from the knights behind her. What was in her hand was a top-notch mental tranquilizer, similar to the one I made.

No, why are you here?

“There are still some of the knights who haven’t adjusted since the armor was changed. It’s for them. I’m buying the best tranquilizers from the Alchemist’s Guild as soon as they come out.”

oh god

Do you spend that much on something expensive?

You were more sincere than I thought about your bikini armor…?

His intimacy with Cecile increased.

“Ugh, uh uh. Tongue, Hyeonu, I can’t let you suffer alone… no.”

Already my opinion seemed to be ignored.

Cecil handed out tranquilizers to Veronica, Evangeline, and Leventia, and took her own too.

“… Ha. Really.”

At this point, no matter how much persuasion skills were used, it wouldn’t work.

then you just have to go what can i do

“But this is a maximum of 5 people, so more than that is meaningless.”

“…then.”

“Anyway, I’ll go in first, so come in in turn. Hold on and if you feel like you can’t, just leave. It’s better if you don’t go in.”

If you hold on for nothing and your mental strength completely runs out, that will be more of a headache.

I tried to walk towards the shimmer and stopped at the sensation of the hood of my robe grabbing.

“Ugh? Why. Veronica.”

“Even if we go in and put less pressure on you. You bear the most burden, don’t you? So lower yourself for a moment.”

what else is he going to do?

I didn’t think Veronica would do anything to harm me, so I humbled myself.

-side.

Her long, wavy hair tickled her face, and something warm and soft touched her forehead.

“oh?!”

“Ugh…”

“…under?”

Either that or not, she slowly brought her forehead to my forehead and calmly recited a prayer with her eyes closed.

“God bless him. There will be no enemies before him, and he will shine a light on the path before him…”

It was the blessing of a cardinal-level priest. It’s also pretty sincere.

Feeling that my overall abilities increased, I pulled out my head and frowned when she let go of her hand.

“If it’s hard for you to hold on, use it.”

What Veronica wrote was ‘Saint’s Protection’, a unique skill that only priests can use.

The effect is an increase in overall stats and strengthening of mental power according to the possessed holy power.

But since there is a limit of once a day, would it be better for you to use it?

“Whoop~”

Veronica grinned and smiled. Then he stroked my cheek and spoke so much that everyone in the room could hear.

“I will protect you.”

I was so confident that I couldn’t say anything.

If you are, so be it.

“eww…”

“Whoa…”

Leventia and Evangeline were crying, but didn’t say anything. Cecile just stared at him with an expressionless expression.

Anyway, everyone seemed to be ready, so I changed the moonlight to a staff and pointed at the shimmering light.

“Then really go.”

ruler. It’s the start of an ordeal.

.

.

.

How long has it been since you came into the shimmer?

I crossed my arms and watched the scene in front of me.

I knew better than anyone what the worst pain was for a man who was dragged into another world and decided to return no matter what.

What happened in the abandoned land located in the eastern part of the different world.

It was the worst pain for him.

In a cursed land overflowing with countless monsters, poison, undead, and temples of evil gods.

Bloody and shaking hands, the man slumped with an injection in his arm.

Unfocused eyes stare at the sky.

The haggard face that had gone through countless illnesses and abnormal conditions was a familiar face to me.

okay.

It was me.

A place where I came to get a wall of my heart away from the warrior party for a while because I couldn’t stand the continuous stress.

Originally, when I fell into this world, it was me when I obtained the ‘General Mental Hospital’, an achievement that I was supposed to get at the end.

“Uh… ugh…”

In the process of getting mental illness and getting rid of it dozens of times, I was pushed to my limits.

His eyes were bloodshot, his limbs were weak, and his body was full of scars from battles and self-harm.

Most of her hair has long since been bleached due to the poison, and her nails are full of broken or missing spots from enduring the screams and despair.

After suffering from aphasia, it wasn’t long before it was released, so even her voice couldn’t come out properly.

Even so.

I didn’t stop

– Kikii Iik!!

Not long after the drug is injected, a terrible scream reverberates. The races are approaching, aiming for the weakened spirit.

I will take your body

Gnaw your mind so we can get a new body.

The approaching Wraith laughed and sent out waves, and I, whose mental strength was lowered by the medicine, was caught in the attack.

– Was it only at this level? What you do as a wise man is no different from a clown. And such low-key jokes and low-level playing. Quit it, it’s just annoying.

A beauty with blue-white hair sells coldly. Another illusion appeared the moment a lightly spit out hawk gnawed at his heart and raised his stress.

-what are you doing?! After all, humans ate gluten? Silly! fool! Who would eat a dish like this? And my bow is broken! The feeling of pulling a protest is strange!

I saw an elf who laughed at himself and relieved the stress accumulated from the battle.

The scarlet-haired beauty, unable to do anything but fidget, left the role she was supposed to play beyond them, her lips quivering.

-Sorry sorry…

All of them are your enemies.

There is no side of you here.

There is no one in this world who can be with you.

But why are you struggling so much?

No one will notice your hard work.

So give up.

Giving up all this will make you feel better.

You’re not loved anyway

Anyway you won’t be recognized

You can’t survive anyway.

The sweet temptation urges us to give up, denying the positive hopes that everyone desires.

Do you really need to go back?

Should I be with them through all the hardships?

What does it matter if this world messes up or not?

do you know Do you think you can go back to Earth if you just die?

No matter what, they won’t accept you.

So.

give us that body

The temptation of despair of the races is getting thicker.

I raised my head while sitting in a daze while intoxicated and listening to their temptations.

Clare.

Leventia.

Evangeline.

Members of the warrior party who must defeat the demon king together with them.

To the races who drive me with weapons that cut down on my heart like reality and illusions that continue irresponsible neglect as if it were natural.

“…Five…”

– Yeah… that’s it. reach out your hand…

“…ah!!”

– Puff.

Fists clenched.

The races were annihilated by Monk’s skill, ‘Bungkwon’, but the mental illness ‘hallucination’, which I had already suffered from, was blaming me while maintaining the source of my pain.

The female knight and the elven archer laughed in front of her.

They looked down on him saying that it was only that much, and that a guy who didn’t even receive Divine Protection was doing something unseemly.

The warrior still just watches from afar.

“…one… did.”

It is satisfying to be a vivid hallucination.

All that remains is to cure this mental illness.

What did it take to cure hallucinations anyway?

– You should have. What if you can’t even hold on to this kind of training…! ha. done. Go get it fixed.

– Something like a human! Go and eat something! I won’t forgive you if you do that again!

– Hyeonu… Mi-I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I couldn’t come…

Processing and ingesting the traces of the soul that can be obtained by catching the race queen at the end.

There is no need to worry as there are techniques for processing.

– What the hell are you doing here?! The journey is being delayed because of you! Don’t you know that the journey to defeat the Demon King is more urgent than helping people like that!?

– ha. If that’s the case, why don’t you just give up and get out of the party and live on your own? inferior human.

– I’m really sorry… Hold on a little longer… If you defeat the demon king, you must. I will definitely pay you…

I laughed at the selling and neglect of the illusions created by hallucinations.

I fell off because of your stress and then I get stressed out again by your fantasies.

I couldn’t help but laugh as the world itself seemed to disturb me.

okay.

I know that it is not your will alone that you attack me.

But even so, since I belong to this world, it is certain that if I remain in a daze, I will be caught up in the world and fight against you.

So, I have no choice but to use the world in my own way.

no matter how painful it is

– Wise!

– human!

– Hyunwoo…

“…That’s really noisy.”

The stress soars to the point that it is difficult to continue thinking with just their voices.

Barely suppressing the terrible headache that was proof of that, I took out a dagger and thrust it into my thigh.

– Pooh!!

My body shuddered with the burning pain in my thighs. But is it because of the pain?

My mind begins to clear and the headache subsides.

The effect of ‘self-injury’, a mental illness first acquired here, is reducing stress.

“not there yet.”

37 to the wall of the heart.

It is still far away.

There is no time to sit around like this.

I drank the potion to recover from my injuries and walked through the cursed wilderness again.

.

.

.

“Yes. It’s still a long way off.”

From the time I entered this world until now.

Although I watched the most painful past for me.

Funny enough, what I got at the end of this pain made me smile even now.

But even so, there was still a long way to go.
