Episode 557
Paaaaaa!
The two gladiators clashed, kicking up sand dust.
Kaaaaaaaaaa!
The human gladiator scratched the ogre gladiator’s pauldron, but the fact that the blade touched the thick armor was not a good situation to begin with.
‘...you can never win.’
The two gladiators were significantly different in height. The difference is not at the level of an adult and a child, but between an adult and a chick.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
...
The ogre gladiator struck the ground with a hammer in one hand.
“Ugh...”
A human gladiator skillfully escapes the shock wave.
The snowfall predicted the fate of this gladiator.
‘I could die.’
The ogres who were watching chatted loudly in their own language.
“Whahaha! “It’s crushing!”
“It doesn’t taste good when it’s mashed!”
“You idiot! “I’m not eating it!”
In Kangseol’s opinion, the human gladiator was an unusually skilled person. However, it was far from enough to deal with the heavily armed ogre.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Hmm...”
Because of this, clashes occurred several times, but each time, it was the human gladiator who was in dire straits.
Kang Seol was a person who did not show his emotions easily, but he had no choice but to show his discomfort in the face of unnecessary death.
Naturally, one of his eyebrows furrowed.
Smart noticed the change.
“...is there something that makes you uncomfortable?”
The one who became the blade.
[Twitter asks you if you are uncomfortable. You must answer. How would you answer?]
1. Honestly, I feel a little uncomfortable.
2. Isn’t this unfair? Look at the size difference between the two!
3. Not anything.
4. Do you enjoy this barbaric culture? After all, ogres are low-class and shameless.
...
Kang Seol realized that the life of the gladiator who became a spectacle in the arena was determined by how he answered.
“... no.”
“....”
Kaaaaang-!
Kaaaang!
During the conversation, the situation improved considerably.
The human gladiator was actually pushing the ogre gladiator.
but.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu’
The gladiator stomping his feet that it raised dust and swung its hammer.
Ugh-!
The hammer accurately struck the human gladiator’s sword face and blew it away.
stop! The words filled Kang Seol’s throat with tears.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The red light in the ogre’s eyes flashed, and its fist aimed at the gladiator.
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Whioooooooo...
“....”
“....”
The ogre’s fist stopped before it reached the gladiator. The evil glow that had been lingering in the guy’s eyes, revealing his murderous spirit, also disappeared at some point.
Black and large pupils.
The pupil was looking down at the human.
The match is over.
Smart said.
“Are we still... friends to you? Or...”
His cold eyes landed on Kang Seol.
“Are you an animal?”
The ogre gladiator extended his massive, rugged hand towards the fallen gladiator.
It is an unexpected result that is difficult to understand.
Djduktuk turned around and said to Kangseol, who was still sitting.
“How much do you really know about us? “How much can we understand about ourselves that even we don’t really know?”
Is it a blade or a handle?
I don’t know either.
“Tymolon is a pretty good place. Please take your time and look around.”
* * *
Rotten Butt led Snow Seol and left the arena.
“...Are you surprised?”
“Can I be honest with you?”
“You can lie.”
“I still can’t believe it.”
“What is it?”
“That fist.”
A fist swung towards a defeated gladiator. The fist stopped.
“You definitely expected it to get messed up, right?”
“... you’re right.”
“me too.”
“... yes?”
“Oh, I was just as anxious when I watched it. Ahaha....”
“The loss of the wild nature is....”
“Well... I think it might be precisely to control the wild nature... Of course, this is a presumptuous judgment on my part. Please forgive me.”
“I can govern. Um...”
“Let’s eat first. “There is a good store that operates outdoors.”
“Are you saying there is a store for humans?”
“Of course... it’s a store for ogres. “You haven’t forgotten that this is Tymolon, right?”
A sweet and sticky smell that irritates the nose.
A store with a huge table and huge chairs. And the chef leads the way from a high place, like a watchtower.
Patter...
“You idiot! “What if I put it in already?”
“Uuuuuu....”
The hired interpreter relayed the ogre’s excuse.
“They say, ‘I told you to put it in.’”
“If it boils! Add it when it boils! “You haven’t even moved yet!”
“right? Uuuuuu....”
“I’m like, ‘Oh, I see.’”
“What is ‘that’s right’! Ugh, my stomach is exploding... Hey Suban! Come here and tell these ogres you are here. “The vegetables may come out a little crushed.”
“All right. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The sight of the interpreter conveying the chef’s message in ogre language caught Kang Seol’s interest.
“Uuuuuu! “Wow!”
The interpreter said the vegetables would become mush.
“Uuuh?”
Ogre said you added vegetables?
“Uuuuuuu!”
The ogre next to him says the cook is an idiot!
The chef waited and asked.
“What are they saying?”
As the snowfall slowly reached Daejeon, I looked up at the sunset sky.
“It’s been a while.”
A voice I’ve heard before.
When Snowfall turned around, someone smiled at him.
“Bamion!”
I wondered where the dwarves of Paradise had disappeared to, but if Barmion was here, they must have been in Tymolon.
“Hahahaha! Cancer is alive! “There’s no way you’re dead.”
“How did I get here....”
“Because I lost my hometown. “It’s also a good opportunity.”
Sigh...
Kang Seol’s gaze shifted to someone.
“How was the city?”
It’s smart.
Bamion took a step back and stood next to Ddukgi, as if we were going to have to deal with it later.
Bamion’s attitude seems to recognize Smarty as a great leader and equal to them.
I hated the slight unfamiliarity that came from that attitude. Kang Seol hated himself for feeling such unfamiliarity.
“I...”
Kang Seol wanted to confess these things honestly.
It’s strange.
I’m definitely feeling strange.
“I think you can tell just by looking at their expressions. “I guess it was quite shocking.”
“...Honestly, that’s true.”
“Thank you.”
“... What on earth are you saying thank you for?”
Ttukgi’s answer was unexpected, but I soon learned the reason.
“You... didn’t lie.”
“....”
“Isn’t that strange? Humans have lived by considering themselves the rulers of civilization and the pinnacle of reason. Standing shoulder to shoulder with beasts that look different from them and have been taboo... is, of course, uncomfortable. “It should be uncomfortable.”
Kang Seol noticed that Ddukduk’s attitude was different from the day. He spoke his thoughts without hesitation, as if the previous questions or looks were just testing him.
“This city, this country, imagined while covered in tree dust... is my dream.”
“You mean ogres and humans getting along?”
“It means recognizing each other as equals and one day even the boundaries will become blurred. “If it comes, I won’t have to hesitate to choose.”
“select?”
“I cursed my large body to be a human, and I cursed my small body to be an animal.”
This was the inferiority complex that led him to his current position after the birth of Ttuk-gi.
“I... wanted to become human.”
“....”
“Humans, not beasts. “It’s okay to laugh at it.”
“... I will not laugh at you.”
This is also not a lie.
“I... I waited here for you to come. “I heard your story when Khan’s people came to my country with pride and actually stood in front of me and trembled.”
“....”
“I knew one day you would come here instead of them.”
“Why did you wait for me?”
Dduktuk put up his fingers one by one.
“First, they alone are not enough to drive out disaster. What is more important than timing is possibility. “If you don’t wake up, or if a strong person like you doesn’t appear, you will realize that everything was in vain when you reach the high point.”
Sigh...
the second finger spread out.
“Second, I wanted to show you this place... the night here.”
Suddenly, the sunset disappeared and darkness covered the city.
Huh-!
When Smart sent a signal by swinging his hand horizontally, the city responded.
Crackling...
Paaaaaa!
“... oh my god.”
A scenery so beautiful that you can’t help but admire it. The lights spread throughout the city expressed the beauty of light as if there was a night sky full of stars on the ground as well.
“Humans have ruled the night with light. A city full of lights is a symbol of reason and domination built by humans. I wanted to show you that I too could do it. “Did I... do a good job?”
Kang Seol looked at him with an expressionless expression.
Because I felt like I had to give an important answer.
Swoosh...
Ttukgi’s third finger spread out.
“I want to ask you one last question.”
“... also.”
“I am a beast born from sand and mud. He stole people’s books, stole their knowledge, and ended up idolizing them in a superficial way. Their teachings denied all aspects of me other than wisdom and reason.”
Ttuk-tuk tells Kang-seol about the doubts that have sprouted within him.
“There is a wildness in this heart within me. Define me as a beast. But my reason clearly tells me that I am more like a human being.”
Boom...
Boom...
He approached Kangseol.
“human! How arrogant you are! By forcing us to be human by the boundaries you have set, you need us as beasts. “How contradictory this is!”
“....”
“If it’s you! If you have watched me, you will be able to answer my questions that no one in this world, not even me, can answer...”
Irregular.
If the world wasn’t about to end, he would have definitely taken control of it.
“Should I... be a human or an animal?”
“....”
“I guess that’s why you came to see me! What do we wish for you!”
Snowfall found out.
Now I have given the answer.
“I need help... my friend.”
“....”
“I can’t define you. “You’re just... smart.”
“... Right.”
“I came to ask my friend for help.”
Defining existence cannot be done by anyone else.
Smart cannot avoid making a choice at this moment. About your own existence.
“Yeah... eventually... I guess so.”
Whoa...
He waved his arm and the city lights disappeared.
“Listen.”
“Uuuuu....”
“Uuuuuu....”
The ogres looked up at the high tower.
Smart waved his arm in the opposite direction.
Huuuuung-!
That moment.
Roaring...
Torches were lit throughout the city.
A small difference and a big difference.
Smart says.
“It’s war. “An old friend found us.”
“....”
“Now....”
“Uuuh....”
The ogres’ eyes turned red.
“It’s time to go back to being a beast.”
The ogres roared.
“Aaaaaah!”
“Wow!”
