Chapter 330 (2/2)

He asked in a deeply curious voice

“Fine I’ll tell you It’s—” Chi-Woo lifted as in his hand and spoke nonchalantly, “Chicken”

–?

“Chicken is truly great Savory and crispy fried chicken is great, but spicy and sweet seasoned chicken is equally a the praises of chicken, his opponent didn’t respond; Saina seemed a little lost

“It seems like you still don’t understand How about it? It’s a little cold now, but want a bite?” Chi-Woo held out the chicken leg in his hand and shook it

–I really…don’t understand…

After a while, he heard a completely baffled voice

–It’s the easy way out It’s a path that has been prepared for you since a long tio

–It’s not even that hard You just have to walk on that path

Saiven up

–It’s also a way to meet everyone’s expectations There’s no reason not to walk on it in every way

–How can you refuse to take the path to becoend far below you…

Chi-Woo frohile listening, “Seriously, hero this, hero that” He covered both ears, indicating he didn’t want to hear anyht you had to be a hero to survive

Sa to teach and persuade Chi-Woo, but Chi-Woo shrugged He admitted the last part He couldn’t survive as an ordinary person on Liber, so he decided to abandon his way of thinking on Earth At the Evelaya Volcano, he had prepared himself to die—so that he could survive The important point here was that this process was oal The real goal that he desired and wanted was completely different

It was this contradiction that Saina pointed out Liber was now in need of a more powerful leader than ever They needed a hero unprecedented in history to bring everyone together and return Liber to how it originally was, and in order to do that, everything needed to be adjusted and ments and decisions needed to be made only for Liber’s present and future Chi-Woo needed to have an iron hich he could easily throay personal and trivial ina said, he needed to be a hero like Giant Fist and Mua Janya and other heroes, who could sacrifice their lives like burning candles for the cause, for the better future of Liber

However, the current Chi-Woo did not meet this standard He wasn’t coray, more in the middle Chi-Woo was also well aware of this “…So what?” He countered with an air of indifference “What do you want htly and said, “I like chicken”

—That blasted chicken…!

“Oh, but I agree with one thing” There was one part that Chi-Woo agreed with “I agree that everything that exists should live according to their essence”

—Then why are you…!

“But” However, there were always exceptions “That doesn’t mean that essence should surpass existence You think I’ to how I’m made?” His parents, teachers, and mentor had all repeatedly told him to live hoanted He had lived like that so far, and he planned to continue living that way “It’s fine as long as I reach the goal in the end”

Since he was born a hu like a nor a small dream He didn’t care what other people said, since everyone had different goals He wanted to give strength to his parents who lost theirHe wanted to help his parents regain their lostthem out of their helplessness He wanted to repay his fa to the wrong path

In order to do that, he needed to get his brother and return to Earth after balancing this chaotic world as soon as possible And the direction he took was not going to be according to anyone’s wishes or arrangements, but in the way he wanted and wasforward to it” Chi-Woo gulped while looking at the chicken leg in his hand “I wonder what it would feel like when everyone gets together and takes a bite of the chicken leg after everything is finished How delicious would it be?” Just i it made his mouth water He wanted to taste it, but Chi-Woo endured and left it untouched He shouldn’t eat it now That way, his desire to return to Earth would persist for a long time He now understood why his brother hadn’t shared his snacks when he was young

Moreover, Chi-Woo felt like he could understand why the prophecy had said he was a ‘successful’ candidate and not just a ‘suitable’ candidate Thanks to this event, Chi-Woo was able to organize various thoughts, and he felt much more refreshed It was now ti he had been holding back into the box “…So” There was one thing he wanted to say

“A hero?” Sa reborn as a true hero and correcting Liber’s balance However, Chi-Woo had no desire to be one So like that—

“To hell with it” Chi-Woo spoke with his eyes shi+ning brightly Then he er for Saina to clearly see

Crashhhh! The mental space broke into pieces

Right after Saina entered the fire pit and popped out, the rescue tea happened—except for the fact that Chi-Woo suddenly collapsed Everyone hurriedly gathered in surprise, but Chi-Woo was unresponsive He was breathing, but no matter how hard they tried to wake hiround as if he was sleeping

“W-What? What happened?” Yunael looked around and asked

—I think he got dragged into Salanced sideways at the furnace and smacked his lips because he wasn’t sure It felt like Chi-Woo easily let hih his opponent had risked his existence and used the ic fire pit, it was Chi-Woo of all people If Chi-Woo really wanted, he could have resisted, but judging by what happened, it see hi?

“What the hell happened!” Yunael’s cry rang out again Everyone beca happened so fast, they all had no idea what happened

“I saw so pour out…” Abis murmured, dumbfounded As she said, everyone clearly saw darkness erupt out of the fire pit Then Chi-Woo alone collapsed, while everyone was safe and sound Although they didn’t knohat exactly happened, it wasn’t hard to guess What was clear was that Chi-Woo was currently handling Sainia’s final blow by himself

Yunael’s face turned pale They were the ones who had stubbornly insisted on staying and asked for help to find their teaht Their two teammates had already crossed the river of no return, and in addition, Chi-Woo had…because of theht made this situation unbearable for Yunael

“…Wake up Don’t mess around withyou, ake up You said you were great You’re the leader of Seven Stars” Stuttering, they grabbed Chi-Woo, but he still didn’t respond This was the end? For real? Yunael soon took in a deep, tre breath and shouted, “Wakeeeeeee upppppp!” Yunael shook Chi-Woo like crazy

—Hey, stop!

Philip tried to stop theh he knew he couldn’t

Crash!+ Suddenly, they heard the sound of space crashi+ng Chi-Woo’s tightly shut eyes fluttered open, and he immediately sat up

“Aho heads with Yunael, as shaking him wildly They looked at each other ide eyes Chi-Woo cal his mouth with the back of his hand, he spat calmly

“W-What—” Yunael pointed at Chi-Woo in shock Then they looked back after hearing soina was sprawled on the floor; there were cracks all over his body as if he was going to turn into a handful of ashes at any moment

“Pwef—” When everyone saw Chi-Woo turn his neck frouess on in the collision between the two Chi-Woo walked towards Sareat deina had become so weak that he looked like he would crumble if Chi-Woo just squeezed hi his existence as the price

“I don’t know if you got the answer you wanted, but…” Chi-Woo saw Saina ot enough” He stretched as hard as he could and smiled “So you have to pay for the rest, okay?”

All his teammates blinked quickly They didn’t knohy, but Chi-Woo seemed a bit…different from before he collapsed
