Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

“Berget became a disaster… What the….”

“Judging from your expression, it seems like you really didn’t know.”

“At least give me a proper explanation…!”

“I just told you. He swallowed the secret and became a disaster.”

“More specifically.”

“… while he was fighting me, a huge dark dragon shot out of the sky. According to him, it seemed like he had induced the situation.”

“Deliberately leading me?”

“He said that he killed all the gods in the universe. In order to weaken the disaster or to make himself chosen as the disaster.”

“Crazy… I never thought you would do something like that… .”

“Does anything strike you?”

“…Actually, I told you that Berget would be a disaster.”

“… This is ridiculous.”

“so do i.”

The two looked at each other and were silent for a while.

After such a long silence, Cynthia spoke first.

“Whew… Let’s shake off the grudges from the past.”

“… Didn’t you say that last time too?”

Cynthia nodded.

“I got that out of the way. But Heron is up to something weird again, so I had no choice but to bring it to this point. Am I wrong?”

“… … .”

“I told you I would find a way. Then you should just wait calmly. I’m planning on hitting you on the back of the head somehow. If you hold back, you’re just being a fool and an idiot. Isn’t that right?”

Heron was speechless at Cynthia’s remark.

“So what is Berget’s current status?”

When faced with an unfavorable situation, Heron naturally changed the subject.

“I don’t know. I can’t even detect where it went. I wish I could find it even if I had to turn the whole Earth upside down… but I can’t do that.”

“why?”

“It won’t be solved by looking for it after turning it upside down. Berget isn’t a cripple, and if he finds it, he’ll run away again. You can’t turn the Earth upside down over and over again, right? It might be okay if you do it once, but if you do it several times, people’s homes will be completely destroyed. You want me to do that? Even if you restore the homes with divine power, the people who will die in the meantime?”

“You’re too human.”

“You are so inhumane.”

“That’s normal.”

“It looks abnormal to my eyes.”

In fact, Cynthia didn’t seem to care much about how many people died. Her sensitivity had already gone beyond the realm of humans. The only thing that bothered her was that people would resent her and that it could affect Han Sung-jin. And it could look bad on Han Sung-jin.

“Putting aside the judgment of whether it is normal or abnormal, let’s summarize the opinions. Berget was chosen as the disaster of the end, and he accepted the disaster’s secret and went into hiding to control it. Is that it?”

“Yes. It’s similar.”

There are some subtle points to be made, but I think we can overlook them. That’s not what’s important right now.

“Anyway… please help me, Heron. I need your strength to prevent the end of the Earth.”

Cynthia recognized Heron’s usefulness in many ways and asked her for help.

“What if I don’t help you?”

“What if you don’t help me? Hmm. Then what?”

Cynthia smiled at Heron, holding him by the shoulder with one hand.

“…Am I saying goodbye to the world here?”

A blue energy gathered around Cynthia’s bow.

“… … I’ll help you.”

Heron eventually gave in to Cynthia.

“Oh, by the way. If you hit me in the back of the head again… I’ll lower your status until you’re demoted to a god. You know that.”

“… … .”

“Where is the salvation?”

***

Illian, a former succubus, no longer had to absorb energy. The body Cynthia had created for her was perfect in itself.

There was no need to absorb energy, and one could replenish energy through regular meals, or if one did not want to do that, one could absorb the magic energy floating in the air.

Having finally regained her freedom, Illian locked herself in her room. Cynthia seemed busy, and everyone else was just strangers, making it difficult to approach her.

Han Seong-jin… If we approached each other, it would be dangerous for both of us.

It was better to keep my distance from him since I had personal circumstances that I couldn’t let Cynthia find out about.

So one day, two days, three days… one month. Two months… .

Illien rented a room in Shinga and was rolling around in it, living a new life.

The world was ruined, but not all the data in it was gone. She brought back the recorded broadcast and the game console that was still working, and locked herself in her room, staring at the monitor all day.

‘This is heaven!’

It was a bit odd that the devil would be happy to think of heaven, but it was still a good thing.

Illien was playing ‘Elder Ring’, which won GOTY last year, for the 7th time. It is a soul-like game with a story of retrieving the Elder Ring left on Earth by an ancient god.

“This is already the 7th time, but it’s still fun.”

The world was in such a state, and Cynthia and Han Sung-jin were busy trying to prevent the end. Of course, Illien would have liked to have intervened if there was something she could do, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do.

“Okay. This time… I’ll go with the Blood Knight tree. I’ll use dual swords as my weapons, and max out the Vampirism and Bleeding traits… Hmm? I’m a little short on points. Then… I’ll need to get some points from the Stamina side. The problem is that my body gets weaker, but since I’m going with the Blood Knight tree anyway, I’ll be able to hold out, so there won’t be any problems.”

Illien, who gained trait points by drastically lowering her stamina stat, invested points into it to increase her bleeding stat to its MAX value.

“This completes the blood test – twin swords.”

Illien looked at the game character on the screen with a satisfied expression. A mosquito-like character that would stick to an enemy mob and suck its blood while slowly killing it through bleeding was completed.

-Become the master of the Elder Ring.

The 7th round was about to begin with a magnificent background music playing through the speakers.

Paaat-

“…?”

Suddenly, something in the shape of a human emerged from the air with a blue light. It happened so instantaneously that Illien was crushed by something that emerged from the air without being able to respond.

“Kkwah!”

Illian let out a short scream and frowned as she looked around to see what had fallen on top of her.

“… Oh my. This is what happens when you access the depths of the Akashic Records. Fortunately, I wasn’t bounced off to a strange place.”

“… … Han Seong-jin?”

“huh?”

“No, why are you here… .”

Illien’s body, which had been speaking, suddenly stopped moving. Her gaze moved slightly and looked behind Han Seongjin. Illien’s pupils shook without mercy.

“My flying station… … !”

From noble mtl dot com

Han Sung-jin was trampling on himself while trampling on ‘something precious to Illien’ at the same time. The world was falling apart, and saving S Company’s Flying Station 5 was like trying to reach for a star in the sky.

In a world where the Internet is completely down and even the alternative chain STEM cannot be accessed, Flying Station, the only medium that can connect games and Illien, has been brutally murdered.

“…I’ll get you a new one later.”

I spoke to Illian, looking at the fragmented Plus. She was shedding tears with a look of bereavement on her face.

‘…Is this something to cry about?’

I scratched my head and looked at Illien with an awkward expression. I used to think she was a crazy devil b*tch, but now I see she was just an ordinary person.

I like games a lot.

“I’ll also get you a lot of game CDs.”

“…really?”

“okay.”

“… In addition to the game CD, get me N-Tendo. Get me the legend of Jaida and Rocketmon too.”

“…I’ll try.”

“Ahem… Hehehe.”

Before I knew it, Illien had stopped crying and was smiling brightly. It seemed like he was that happy that I brought him the game console and CD/chip.

“By the way… Have you seen Sia? I don’t feel any movement.”

“Shia? I don’t know. Where did she go? She was locked in her room until a few days ago. Other than that, I don’t know much.”

“How many days?”

“huh.”

I realized that I spent more time in the Akashic Records than I thought. I didn’t realize it because there was no sense of time passing there, but I guess it was time passing in days.

‘By the way, did Sia go out for a bit to take care of something?’

After hearing Illien’s words, I thought Cynthia had gone out.

“Oh, that’s right. Sia asked me to give you this when you come out.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t know what it is. I was just told to pass it on to you.”

Illien picked up something he had placed next to the broken plus and handed it to me.

“… This is?”
