I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

40 – Episode 40. Clash, sloth VS patience

-Kugugugugu.

Space trembles.

In the middle of a cliff where there is not a single wind blowing, I feel a vibration that is enough to make even the pebbles on the bottom tremble.

That is clearly the sound of music coming from far away, which radiates to affect everyone present at this site.

The demons, driven by desire, want to run wild in their desire to win, and the humans are swayed by the desire to live and are shaking with the thought of running away from this place.

– Coo-gu-gu, coo-gu-gu-gu.

Nevertheless, the reason no one was watching this scene without moving was because, even at this moment, they could not defy the intimidating feeling of the person controlling this space.

Hell Cry.

By the spirit exuded by those who are still sitting with their arms folded and just watching this situation.

‘I like it anyway.’

The devil of sloth shook off such spirit as annoyance.

I glared at the person who overcame such spirit with grit.

The person who pushed himself to the point where he felt that his life was in danger was annoying and so annoying to him who was so consumed with laziness.

-Pow!

As soon as that will stomped on the floor, power burst out, and the body that received that power became an afterimage and was shot forward.

A merciless charge without considering aiming or changing direction.

-Quaaang!!

The violent attack dug into the rock wall and cracked the surface, but there was no trace of crushed blood.

It went astray.

The opponent who didn’t even notice my attack just stood there.

-Kugung!

If that’s the case, hit it twice. If that doesn’t work, hit it ten times or even a hundred times.

-The Quagga River, the Quagga River!

In the merciless chaos going on between the rock walls, the breathing of humans who could not easily even consider leaving their positions began to harden in an instant.

“This crazy bastard…” … !”

“It’s annoying to go crazy.”

It is so brutal that the collar can be torn off just by the passing shock waves.

Slos, who gradually narrowed the siege through such rampage, soon collided with the rock that collapsed in front of him.

“Fighting and talking are all annoying…!”

Fragments exploding chaotically in all directions.

Slos’s rush began to rush towards the human who was caught in his tracks and stopped in his tracks at a speed that surpassed even the exploding fragments.

However, in the process, the brakes are applied with a ‘thud!’ Sound and the vision is staggering.

When he realized that a shiver was running through his body, Sloth’s eyes reflexively turned to the spot he had passed.

What you see there is a spear with roots deeply embedded in the ground.

The result of someone who couldn’t read the movement, roughly predicting the trajectory and setting a trap in advance.

-Quad!!

Taking advantage of his slowdown, the man summoned a spear and attacked him, causing blood to burst out from all over his body.

There is no upper body to protect the body.

Now that the speed, which is the only advantage, has been cut off, each and every attack aimed accurately at oneself is enough of a threat even to oneself.

“Ah, ahhhhh!”

Despite this, Sloth does not stop.

With that spear planted on my shoulder, I just took one step at a time to close the distance and prepare to release the magical energy gathered in my mouth.

“You damn…!”

-Quaaang!

The moment when the shooting red ray spreads out with the power to melt everything in front.

I managed to avoid the attack, but I was too restrained and the distance widened too much.

“It’s annoying, everything is annoying!!”

A series of waves coming out of the mouth along with a loud roar.

As the attack indiscriminately saturated the surroundings, I could feel the gaze of someone intently targeting me.

That gaze is very annoying.

Even attacks that I would normally just tolerate were now feeling so annoying.

Because he feels that the music he hears from far away is aggravating his laziness even at this moment.

“It’s a hassle to hit carefully or aim…”

Just by feeling the thrill of power spreading as a result, the other person will also feel it.

What happens next is an attack that doesn’t even use technology, just pours out overwhelming power.

“Then, wipe everything out!”

A body that moves faster and faster, eventually stops and swings a fist.

-Quarring!!

As the attack released with the acceleration reached its peak, it swept through the air, and the entire front part of the exposed rock wall began to crack.

“Um, what on earth is that crazy bastard…!”

“Everyone run away!”

The moment when the spectators, wary that the cliff would collapse due to the impact, quickly leave their seats.

But their screams are only good.

-Boom!!

The only thing that bothers me is that guy.

To kill that one person, you have to pour everything into it.

-Quarring, quaaring!!

A series of leaps and cliff collisions in the air.

And then the upper part of the cliff, which is swept away by the continuous rush of force, collapses, and begins to continuously create falling rocks targeting the area below.

-Boom!

Not just on one wall, but on the opposite wall as well.

It is an indiscriminate rampage that continues in both directions without taking a leap, gradually expanding the range and narrowing the range of avoidance.

-Tooong!

Even that was blocked by something like a stake stuck in his path, so his body lost momentum and began to fall to the ground.

Like before, he once again blocked his path by putting a spear in his path.

-Quang!!

But even that is a shallow tactic that can be ignored.

Soon, the falling body moved and the legs touched the surface of the cliff, and the body gained momentum and fell to the ground.

The body, which was supposed to be thrown down, didn’t stop and dug inside, but soon it started digging into the ground like crazy.

And I took advantage of that moment to release the remaining magical energy in my body.

-Quaaang!

Magic power expanded in all directions, filling the dug hole, and soon everything above it began to surge upward again with a powerful explosion.

A scene reminiscent of a disaster where everything that exists collapses and a huge pit is created at the bottom of the valley.

At the end, the sloth monster that escaped from the underground raised itself and began to open its mouth towards the sky.

“Ah, ah…”

The moment when I poured everything I could into the desire that was becoming more and more abominable.

It could be said that a person whose only strength is grit has no chance of surviving.

Unlike demons, the human body is too weak to withstand a disaster like the current one.

“Now, I can rest…”

-Quad!!

The moment when blood spurted out of the mouth due to a single blow from behind, as if overturning that confidence.

Afterwards, as he turned his trembling head back, the figure of a human being who had thrown a spear at him began to come into view.

“You…”

Lower ground floor and messed up footings.

The dusty body of the person standing on it is covered in bruises and blood, but is still alive.

He is leading his trembling body and casting a venomous gaze towards himself.

“Human, you…… !!”

“Yes, I am human. You are an ignorant monster!!”

A man who lunges at himself and gives strength by tightly grasping the spear stuck in his back.

Despite the fact that he was obviously weaker than himself, he began to feel his feet being pushed away by the violent charge.

“I think I put all my effort into it because I wanted to end the fight quickly, but what should I do…? “We are doing our best to survive here too.”

Yes, large-scale saturation is only effective when dealing with an army.

From noble mtl dot com

As it is rather wasteful to deal with individuals, it is bound to be an ineffective attack against those who have the ability to escape the range.

Just as his laziness is amplified by his playing, his desire to live is also aggravated.

For him, who had found a place to minimize damage through such desires, the fact that the physical strength of the monster he was dealing with had decreased was in itself considered a hope.

“It’s bothersome to even discuss such things, ah…… !”

But sloth is called sloth because it does not even think about such weaknesses.

-Jejeok!

The body is swung around ignoring the spear that was stuck in its back.

As soon as the spear was pulled out by the force, a charge was launched towards him with his unbalanced body.

“So, I don’t understand…”

It is a struggle of power that takes place before the Changdae.

In that state, Sloth gave strength to the hand holding the spear and began to pour out his power with a force that would overwhelm his body.

“Why are you struggling so desperately even though you are in so much pain?”

Duk, thud!

The moment when all the joints in your body scream from just a struggle of strength, and you gradually start to take a step back due to the pain.

Nevertheless, the poison depicted in the gaze that met him does not disappear.

“What meaning is there in such a painful life? Why struggle so desperately to protect that precious life!”

“… Is there a reason for the struggle? “I live because I can’t keep up anyway.”

Even if his body is broken, he shows his enthusiasm with a force that overwhelms his growing sense of laziness, even when he tries to overcome it.

“Is struggling to live a meaningful life, even if it is such an insignificant life, something that you have to resort to so much evil!?”

He succeeded in pushing himself away with such a shout, and began to support his falling body by sinking the pole into the ground.

Even though I feel trembled just by breathing and feel my muscles and joints breaking down in real time just by standing, I do not give up.

“You too in the first place… …. If living like that is a hassle, you should go somewhere and commit suicide. Why are you crawling all the way here and being so damn annoying?”

The moment he heard such an evil scream, Sloth stopped for a moment from rushing towards him and fell into thought.

Fighting, talking, and even breathing are annoying.

If everything is really bothersome as he said, then the right answer might be to just kill yourself with your own hands without having to worry about it.

Why, then, is he going against the very source of his desires and fighting this man at the command of his captain?

“… I do not know.”

“I don’t know…… !!”

“That’s none of my business!!!!!”

It may have been there someday.

At this moment, there must have been an opportunity that made him feel a sense of responsibility, such as carrying out the command of the captain that he reluctantly followed.

-Quarring!

But in the end, it is a story of the past.

Looking back at the past is against sloth, which is the source of desire.

I just want to rest.

Such aspiration eventually erases even his memories, and turns even the squeezed energy into a force that will drive him away.

“You are, of course, a hindrance…. Human!”

“So die! “I’m going to protect that pitiful life, so don’t disturb my rest anymore!!!”

Indiscriminate attack followed by a barrage that blocks them.

Slos, who had finally succeeded in pushing his body against the wall while holding it as a guard, poured out his strength again with the momentum to push away the spear held in both his hands.

In order to crush his neck like this with the spear and strangle him to death.

“… “If you want to rest like that, I’ll let you rest.”

But he too is at the end of his physical strength.

The smile on his face showed something vaguely called victory.

I realized the reason when I was one step away from losing strength in his arms.

-Click!

Yes, something I threw before colliding with myself fell on my head and broke.

Since it wasn’t a fatal shock, he thought he could just ignore it.

At least for now.

“So, don’t hold on.”

-Chi-ik!

The liquid inside the broken glass bottle spreads.

“Hold on, it’ll only make you more bothersome.”

A potion that heals wounds.

As it penetrated beyond the skin and into the internal blood vessels, it even began to burn internal wounds and force them to regenerate.

“Ah, ah.”

Laziness.

At this time, his mind was shaken for a moment by the words he spoke, and he even forgot his own origins.

“Agh, ugh!! Ah…… !!!”

The pain that surged through him as if squeezing through the cracks that had formed in him eventually began to disrupt even the power to push his body forward.

“Okay. Eww… ….”

The other person is also affected by this painful phenomenon.

The person who aimed the tip of the spear at the gap where his body fell was also engulfed in pain, but he still tried to endure it.

Overwhelming strength, vitality, and stamina.

Against a monster that overwhelms you in every way, with only your mental power to overcome it.

“aaa!!”

He sublimates his screams of pain into shouts and pushes away the monster that has lost its power to push him.

And swing it.

– Quad deuk!

In a situation where the stabbed side is more painful than the stabbed side.

Nevertheless, he uses evil and thrusts the spear blade into his body without hesitation.

“Now search, you monster!!!!”

The weapon responded to the will that exploded with that fierce shout.

Using the magical energy released, the enemy is cornered and the foundation for a decisive blow is laid.

-Boom!

Flesh exploding from the explosion in the face, and drops of blood.

At the end, the monster of sloth realized that his defeat had been decided, and he fell into thought as he saw the person approaching him.

‘For what…’

I couldn’t understand.

‘For what reason is this man struggling so hard?’

If you become so rags after fighting this much, your life will be full of pain even after you leave this place.

Knowing the meaninglessness of what comes after enduring and enduring such pain, the devil of sloth could not understand the struggles of the human in front of him.

‘Yes, it’s all meaningless…’ ….’

The devil of sloth already knew that only meaninglessness awaited at the end of a desperate struggle.

I still remember the empty figure of the person I admired and followed, and the person I thought was my future, unable to feel anything even though they had accomplished countless times what they were pursuing…….

‘Everything is meaningless. ‘Everything you achieve while living.’

As he looked back on the process, the frustration that had been dormant all along began to gradually release and fill his mind.

Like a tangled skein of thread that unravels and expands, there are so many unresolved corners that it’s difficult to even think about it.

“Ah, living is… ….”

Yes, you don’t have to think about anything anymore.

“Is living like this a lot of things to think about?”

A helpless being who took even that fact as comfort.

At this moment, he felt that the time he had been longing for had arrived, and he happily prepared to fall into sleep.

-Kwaang!!!

****

The head was unable to withstand the impact of the spear and eventually exploded.

I was carrying it on my back, and it was only then that I had time to spit out the load wrapped around my body.

-Pukak!!

Blood pouring from internal wounds sustained in fierce battle.

But now the potion left in my arms no longer existed.

It may remain for other adventurers, but with their mental strength already pushed to its limit, if they put any more effort into recovery, they might end up dying of shock.

“…… “You won.”

So we need to move now. There was an orc waiting at the spot where I walked.

“Yeah, yeah. I won. I won…… !”

The moment I faced him, I felt the tension that had continued throughout the battle become taut again.

Because winning once is not the end.

At this moment, I could feel the performance coming from beyond stimulating my desire.

-Tiriring~♬

Marilyn Surgeland.

If things continue like this, the relationship she formed with her may never last again.

“So, get out of there. Right Now… ….”

So at this moment, I impulsively aimed my spear at the person in front of me.

Like me, I am overcome by the impulse caused by the performance I am hearing.

Towards a vicious monster whose power is incomparable to anything we have faced before.
