Transformation or Death - Chapter 306



306 – Dragon’s Tail (2)

The snake was embarrassed as it saw the bizarre scene that occurred on the ground. A monster armed with brilliant golden armor and carrying a flag with a golden sheep symbol.

It was clearly a monster from the constellation Argo.

“That doesn’t make sense.”

An event occurred that could not have happened and should not have happened.

Snakes eat fate.

The fate refers to events that must occur or the laws that make up the world.

Revolution and rotation may also be a part of fate, and the water cycle may also be a part of it.

The correlation between magical girls and monsters and their power also falls within that fate.

When magical girls become stronger, monsters become stronger. The opposite is also true. If there is a galactic monster, the magical girl also gains the power to transcend the galaxy, and of course the reverse is also true.

If there were divine magical girls, galactic monsters also had to exist.

However, the snake ate its destined fate. One of the important parts that maintains the balance of the world has been eaten away.

This was the reason why the snake stayed still until the galaxy’s monsters were defeated. He had no intention of defeating them directly. He only suppressed their deaths and ate their fate, preventing the birth of new galactic monsters.

Scorpion, lion, captain. The monsters of the three galaxies have already disappeared. And the fate of a new galactic monster being born also disappeared.

If so, what is that?

“The galactic monster would not have been able to come out again…!”

That’s not all. Jason drew Argo’s power with his belt. There was a significant problem from this point on.

“How could a monster wear a belt…!”

He is not a human who used a belt in the past, and a pure monster uses the belt. It has long gone beyond its original purpose.

A machine created so that even people who cannot use the power of stars can draw out the light, further enhancing the power of beings born as stars.

It was an incomprehensible sight.

“Don’t you understand…?”

A shabby looking watcher covered in poison and embers was laughing at the snake.

“That goes against fate….”

“fate? What are you talking about? Does that seem like something against you?”

That is not a power gained without any cost.

Power that cannot be obtained without considerable determination.

The transformation functioned in the form of overlaying the disappeared potential of Argo onto one’s body. The transformation of putting a monster body connected to one’s star on one’s body shares the same principles as the existing transformation.

Except that the belt is broken and the user of the belt is a monster.

The key created by Han Jae-joong and Jo Ayun is to force the belt, which was originally made for use on humans, into operation so that Amundsen can use it again.

It was used not by the original belt user, but even by a monster…

The price is more than what Amundsen had.

“Same as Amundsen.”

The price is simple.

death.

“I’m risking my life to take you down.”

Sajoseong shone. It was shining inside that belt.

Jason carried the flag and looked up at the sky. The body remains the same as when it commanded the sea and conquered the world.

Where had his usual weak and soft appearance gone? The solemn yet murderous look in his eyes was truly full of spirit.

“Whoa….”

His face was full of majesty as he took a deep breath. His usual helpless appearance was nowhere to be seen, and he exuded the energy of a famous master.

The flag fluttered in the wind. The flag, woven like thread using starlight, waved and shed a soft glow. The Milky Way is embroidered.

He has no crew now. Considering Argo’s abilities, the environment was a bit inadequate to bring out that power.

Unity, rally, rally.

It was a power that assumed many subordinates, but he was the only one here.

However, it didn’t matter.

“I don’t need any subordinates.”

This is not a voyage to create a vertical relationship of dominance. A voyage to meet people who are equal and can view each other as equals.

So, it is enough for a sailor to just be himself.

“Now I know and understand myself. I’m happy to connect with someone I didn’t understand. That is me, isn’t it truly complete unity? “This must be true unity.”

All mixed together.

All thoughts, actions, and will became one.

I was gathered, united, and became an assembly of only one person.

I am the only one in this huge ship, but I am not lonely. What does it matter if you have the will to fill your stomach?

The golden light fluctuated.

“Now, time to set sail!”

The flag was moved and pointed to the sky. I am ready and full of motivation. All that’s left is to rise above it. Moving forward was the only answer.

“…But how did you get all the way there?”

The problem was that I didn’t know how. I knew the answer but couldn’t write it, so I was so frustrated that I was going crazy.

“Kkeukkeuk….”

The snake laughed at Jason.

“Yes, what good is it now that one more monster has been added to the galaxy? I have already reached godhood. No matter how many people gather together, the result is the same. “How could they get here in the first place?”

The snake’s mocking tone shook the Watcher’s ears. Unfortunately, Watcher missed most of those voices.

“Same goes for you. It’s a small universe. It is a universe that has not abandoned humans. How does it feel that your body, which used to protect you, has now become your biggest burden?”

The poison had seeped to the limit. Now it was difficult to even maintain consciousness. In return for failing to abandon humans, he had to suffer the pain of poison.

“I thought you were the most dangerous enemy… but I never thought you would defeat me so vainly. “I’m disappointed.”

In addition to the oxygen-free environment unique to outer space, his breathing gradually became rougher. He reached the limit of providing oxygen through starlight.

“Goodbye, Beombu.”

**

The impact of Amundsen’s death did not end there.

“Such an asshole teacher….”

Ara, who watched his death from another country, also remembered that dedication.

“I wonder why a monster would sacrifice his life for another person…”

I didn’t feel that sad. She hung out with him in her own way, but in the end, he was a monster and she was a human.

As the saying goes, it’s not like he can go back and forth between a monster and a person like Han Jae-joong, and at least he can disguise himself to a small extent. Ara remembered Amundsen as a monster since she had never even seen him in person.

That’s why I saw it as a different entity.

The races are different. Their ethics, strength, and instincts are different. The gap was something that could not be narrowed.

However, I felt a sense of affection in my own way. At least he was cheerful. He was horrible and annoying while we were together, but he wasn’t to the point where I wanted to kill him.

I also learned a lot.

I won’t shed tears over his death, but I will mourn in my own way. And when I remember Amundsen in the future, I will think of pleasant and trivial days rather than sadness.

So, how can you make that death dishonorable?

“I’ll help you out with your idiotic actions.”

Ara raised her bow and pointed to the sky.

“Well, after all, you are a disciple.”

The gaze turned to the side.

“Uh, what should I do when my brother is in space… should I interfere? Yes, you have to interfere. But how? The odds of winning are… uh, uh, so…”

Jo Ayun was caught in the field of vision, muttering to herself in a way that made even the listeners nervous. She was desperately racking her brain over how to save her brother, who was left alone in her universe.

From her, I also heard information about snakes and that the Watcher is currently struggling in space.

I would have known even if she didn’t say it. Because in her eyes, she sees Han Jae-joong approaching death on the surface of the moon, far beyond the sky.

It’s poison, but it’s also cowardly. Even though the subject is large, there is no such thing as a small person doing anything.

“Why are you hesitating? “Please go quickly.”

“Araya…?”

Unlike before, there was affection in Jo Ayun’s voice calling her. I don’t know why it’s suddenly doing this. Even though she couldn’t get used to it, she was happy, so she didn’t add much to her comment. Because it would be difficult to talk to her again, swearing at her for no reason.

“Hey, take our super rookie and our senior too. “And I also took care of some of your union members in Japan.”

“Easier said than done….”

The snake’s heat is so strong that it melts before the butterfly can reach it. The butterfly he gave to the Watcher was destroyed a long time ago while he was fighting.

Like Icarus’ wings falling as they approach the sun, their flight was blocked from the beginning.

“…is it so?”

After hearing Jo Ayun’s story, Ara responded calmly.

“Then I will build the road. “Go.”

“what? “What are you talking about…”

“Could you please lend me a butterfly?”

Even though he was suspicious, Jo Ayun obediently handed over the butterfly to her. As Ara swung her arm holding her butterfly, her butterfly stretched out long and thin, forming an arrow-like shape.

“What is that….”

“It was something I had been practicing for a long time. “Ayun, your abilities and mine are a good match, so… Anyway, I’m gathering some friends quickly.”

“Seolhwa is still poisonous….”

“That’s no problem either.”

Ara answered calmly. As if it wasn’t a problem at all from the beginning.

Jo Ayun knows Ara’s personality. As she repeated her regression, she became more aware. Although she was pretentious and jealous, she did not easily abandon others. He was a man who worked harder to save more people than anyone else.

As she is, that statement seemed sincere, not bravado or falsehood.

It seemed like he had made a decision to save the world.

“…okay. Then I believe it. Oh, just in case.”

Odette spread her wings and bestowed upon her the blessings of the galaxy. She quietly hid her appearance in the hope that it would give her the possibility of something she couldn’t possibly have.

“That’s funny.”

Funny enough, that blessing was not needed. Because I already received it once in the past. In that blessing, strength blossomed.

“I can’t believe I ended up making something that was so damned bad that I had to do it after I died. It’s so unfair that you can’t stand it. “I wanted to make you shut your damn mouth.”

There were three arrows in her hand. One is an arrow I just made by modifying a butterfly.

The other two are healing arrows.

“But, I feel good because I finished all my homework.”

It was a special arrow that Amundsen had insisted on making. Ara put two arrows on her bow.

“At least it feels like I’m getting rid of even the regrets of others.”

What I remember is teaching, what I hold in my hand is respect.

“Now you will go to the afterlife in peace. “You idiot teacher.”

I regret letting go.

He flicked the bow, and two arrows flew across the sky. One flew horizontally and landed on Yun Seol-hwa, and the other flew vertically and landed on Han Jae-joong.

The snake’s flames, air resistance, and the principles of gravity were irrelevant.

Because she is the one who can shoot an arrow farther than anyone else.

After letting go of my regrets, what remained was confidence.

Even without looking, Ara knew that her arrow would hit.

Power that can be used regardless of distance or obstacles.

That was the divinity of Ara.

Before I knew it, the pendant was emitting a soft light like a table lamp.

She was weaker, softer, and radiant than anyone else. She is too unsightly a deity to be said to have been reborn.

However, it is natural that there are people like this in the world.

Because there are people who take it for granted that they live their lives in a simple way where no one can see them.

A person who quietly performs his or her role even if there is no joy or blessing.

“Because it’s me.”

Ara put an arrow on the bow again. Point to the sky, aim for the universe, and the result is peace.

An arrow that would never miss was shot into space.

What it contains is hope.

cook. The Watcher felt like an arrow had been stabbed into his heart. A wave of healing erupted from that arrow. The healing power was completely different from Red Spica’s healing magic.

If Red Spica’s healing is to remove all wounds, this was closer to healing to purify negativity. Eliminate evil, eliminate change, and return to its original state.

The power of purification removed the poison flowing through the Watcher and returned him to his original body.

[are you okay?!]

“Uh, it’s okay.”

Watcher raised his head and answered that he was okay when asked by Spica who was worried about him.

My vision becomes clearer again, and my stiff body becomes more vibrant. Consciousness is clear, and the will is clearer than that.

“Now, it’s time to look at the stars.”

Stars fill my eyes.

Another arrow pierced the snake and stuck in the moon.

From there, prepared warriors appeared.

“Adventure with the stars!”

Jason.

“Like a red comet in your heart!”

Red Vega.

“I will jump over the light and take you down.”

Hound.

“Have you ever danced with the stars?”

Odette appeared.

The snake’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

“Uh, how…”

“You heard it too. There are those who will rise from the lowest to the highest and shine. The enemies you ignored so much. “We gathered here.”

Lastly, the Watcher stood up and stepped on the moon.

“Ask me again.”

The night isn’t over yet.

“Have you ever seen stars?”

The fight to make the night dark again has begun.
