Players' NPC boss

The roars of the boy and the centaur resounded through the late night when no one was awake. Chiron returned to the Piliwen Cave with heavy steps. The steel body was sitting there, questioning Chiron with empty eyes.

Chiron gritted his teeth and reached out to the steel body with trembling hands. As long as he changed back to this body, he would have nothing to fear and could go back to rescue Blaze.

However, the moment Chiron's fingers touched Steel Chiron, Steel Chiron's eyes suddenly lit up, and the surrounding environment flipped and transformed one by one, turning into a pure white area.

"Varied--"

Chiron was stunned for a moment, and then his heart tightened, and an evil wind came over him. He subconsciously turned his body sideways, and the steel fist narrowly missed the bridge of his nose and landed on the ground.

boom--

The entire virtual space shook under this punch.

Steel Chiron launched an attack on Chiron, and from the beginning it was a one-hit kill [Split Light].

"What's going on? Is the combat AI activated? How is that possible!"

Chiron quickly retreated and shouted several emergency instructions set in advance just in case, but Iron Chiron was indifferent and walked towards Chiron at a slow but firm pace.

Red light flashed in his eyes, and his cold steel face looked hostile in the alternation of light and shadow.

"Betrayal? Or being manipulated?"

[Betrayal...who is the...betrayer... here? 】

Iron Chiron's eyes flickered several times, and the intermittent sound of electricity formed a sentence.

[Protocol One: Protect the Successor Blaze]

[It was you, you betrayed, broke the agreement, and fell]

"I know what I did, that's why I want to redeem it!" Chiron clenched his fists. After discovering that Steel Chiron had entered combat mode, he immediately launched a sprint towards Steel Chiron.

"Blaize, the centaurs, and all the creatures on the earth are in danger. I need to return to this body to save them!"

[You just want to escape into this steel body]

Steel Chiron moved, and his glowing red eyes pulled out a red lightning. He rushed in front of Chiron in an instant, and red steam rose from his outstretched fist.

[If I go back now, I will run away again because I can’t bear the pain]

Chiron subconsciously raised his elbow so that his forearm, upper arm and collarbone formed a triangle. This is a move in [Pankrasin], which uses the hardest part of the body to defend and counterattack. It can not only perfectly resist attacks, but also destroy the opponent's weapons.

But Iron Chiron's body is made of perfect metal created using the technology of the Gods, and is superior to all living things.

Click——

The triangle with the most stable structure was violently shattered, and Chiron's elbow was shattered.

"Ahhhh——"

Chiron screamed subconsciously and retreated. The severe pain he had never experienced before involved the nerves in his body, causing escape to occupy his brain again.

Steel Chiron's eyes flickered, and the electric current made a little noise.

【teacher? 】

The boy's confused shouts squeezed into Chiron's mind.

Ta da——

Chiron paused, and the brain of life gave him a new way of thinking. His brain told him that this was Iron Chiron's trick to kill him and replace him. He couldn't fall for it and had to escape quickly.

This is a way of thinking that can deceive oneself and comfort oneself.

Chiron gritted his teeth and turned towards Iron Chiron.

He knew very clearly that if he escaped, he would not be harmed in any way, he could live, and he could only experience the beauty of life forever.

But, we can’t escape!

There was only doubt in the boy's voice, but it soon turned into anger, contempt, loss, and finally indifference. He knew this was just a falsetto fabricated by Iron Chiron, but, but!

Even if it is fake, it is still a poison that is more painful than death.

If you turn around and run away from this place, no matter how colorful the world is, it will be meaningless. If you can't endure the pain, how can you find the beauty and splendor.

It hurts, it really hurts.

Iron Chiron easily cut off his fingers, penetrated his body, kicked his spine, and mashed his internal organs. Powerful regeneration magic repairs bones, sews muscles, and repairs internal organs all at once.

The suffocating feeling of death hit me again and again.

Chiron wanted to escape again and again, but the boy's smile squeezed into his brain, followed by the laughter of the centaurs, the mellow aroma of wine, the gentleness of flowers, and the warmth of the sun.

[Go to hell, Chiron]

Iron Chiron suddenly lowered his body and put his right hand behind his back, which was the secret starting movement of [Pankrasin].

When the punch of death struck his brain, all he could think of was a world of joy and laughter.

I still want to see that sea of ​​flowers.

I also want to understand each other with other beings.

There are more things I want to teach him.

so……

"I can't die here!"

There was no way to dodge Arcana's punch, which was pulling everything around him, so Chiron opened his palm against the suction of death and grabbed Iron Chiron's wrist.

The skin, muscles, and blood were all annihilated in an instant, leaving only the pale skeleton holding Iron Chiron's wrist tightly.

"I didn't expect life to be so painful."

Iron Chiron slowly knelt down in front of Chiron. This was the victory condition set for the successor. Learning [Pankrasin] or cracking [Pankrasin] can forcefully shut down Iron Chiron's power.

Chiron's body slowly recovered, and Iron Chiron's eyes were still flashing red as he looked at Chiron, making a mechanical mockery.

[If I were still in that iron body, I would never do such a thing]

[You are a coward thinking about such a thing, and I am not a coward's armor]

"I know."

Chiron unplugged the connection plug at the back of Iron Chiron's head and pulled out a long data cable.

Looking at the plug flashing with cold light in front of him, like a dagger, Chiron suddenly laughed, and laughed with tears.

Then he stabbed the plug into his forehead with force, and the sharp tip easily penetrated the skull and pierced into the brain.

"You are my grave of steel."

It was just a moment, but it was particularly long for Chiron. He looked back at the time since he was born as a life. What a wonderful time it was. The lives passed by him and left warmth in his palms. The world was so beautiful.

The pain spread throughout his body in an instant with the electric light, and his brain was decomposing.

The laughter of the centaurs, the simplicity of the goblins, the eccentricity of humans, the warmth of the sun, the coolness of the wind, the softness of the flowers, and the boy waving his arms and shouting "teacher" with a bright smile.

Everything I felt with great difficulty turned into cold data again, and the colors in my eyes faded away, leaving only gray, but Chiron smiled and slowly closed his eyes in the unbearable pain of life.

It was a heart-wrenching dream.

But most of my short life was beautiful, so lucky.

In the end, I still felt a little... reluctant.

The Piliwen Cave darkened piece by piece, and finally became dark, with only deathly silence.

A faint light flickered, like a candlelight.
