Future Knight

Chapter 46

Fortunately, she was only unconscious, allowing Jaina and Kang Chan to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, their relief was short-lived as a terrifying killing intent engulfed them.

“I should have just killed you then…”

Startled, Jaina and Kang Chan turned their heads to see Green approaching them with eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

Facing Green’s eyes filled with madness, the two of them fell into despair.

“Please… please stop this.”

“Die!”

Jaina’s words could go no further.

Without giving them a chance to speak, Green’s whip cut through the air.

Kang Chan tried to block the ferocious whip, infused with Green’s anger, with his shield, but his already battered shield and arms refused to obey his will.

His arms felt numb, as if paralyzed.

With no other choice, Kang Chan gritted his teeth and stood in front of Jaina and Arteon with his whole body.

No matter what happened to him, he couldn’t let Jaina, who was everything to him, get hurt.

But then, someone pushed Kang Chan forcefully and stood in front of him.

It was Jaina.

Kang Chan, exhausted to the point of being pushed away even by Jaina, screamed in despair.

“No! Jaina!”

“I love you…”

“Don’t do this! Jaina!”

Jaina, without even the protective gear that Kang Chan had, faced Green’s blood whip, known to cut through steel, with her bare body, and the outcome was all too obvious.

Jaina’s delicate body was torn apart like a bursting firecracker, split into two right before Kang Chan’s eyes.

Blood spurted from Jaina’s small body like a fountain, splattering into Kang Chan’s screaming mouth, forcing him to taste her blood.

A heart-wrenching scream tore from Kang Chan’s throat.

“No! Aaaahhhhhhh!”

Jaina, now in shreds before his eyes, mouthed her final words with the last of her strength.

Though she could not speak, Kang Chan understood perfectly what she was saying.

With her dying breath, she told him she loved him.

“Don’t die! Jaina! I’ll wake Arteon! Arteon will heal everything with his recovery magic! Just hold on a little longer! Please, just endure, Jaina!”

Kang Chan hurriedly approached Arteon and shouted.

“Arteon! Arteon! Please wake up! Arteon! Please save Jaina! Please save Jaina!”

Begging in desperation, Kang Chan, unable to use his hands, roughly shook Arteon with his knees, but Arteon, pale and unconscious, did not wake.

Desperately begging, Kang Chan looked back at Jaina, only to find that she had already turned into a cold corpse.

She had died without even closing her eyes.

“No, no! Jaina, no! You can’t die! Open your eyes! Open your eyes, I said!”

Covered in Jaina’s blood, Kang Chan wept, his tears washing away the blood, making it look as if he was shedding tears of blood.

His appearance was so horrifying that it sent chills down the spine of anyone who saw it.

No matter how much Kang Chan shook her, Jaina would not open her eyes. He buried his face in hers, which still retained some warmth, and wept bitterly, rubbing his face against hers.

“I loved you sincerely… You were more precious than my own life… Please… Open your eyes, Jaina.”

Kang Chan sobbed as he held Jaina’s lifeless body, his cries echoing with the despair of a madman.

As he did, the Green Elf approached with a mocking smile.

“Human, are you in pain? Is it because you’ve lost someone you loved? Yes, it must be very sad… Losing someone you love is always very sad. But know this, the pain you’re experiencing now doesn’t even come close to the pain you humans inflicted on me!”

Kang Chan, crouching, spoke in a hoarse voice.

“So what…?”

“What?”

“What does any of that have to do with Jaina?”

In a tone completely different from his earlier wailing, he asked coldly, and the Green Elf responded with a slightly flustered tone.

“Blame it on being born as a cursed human and elf!”

“That kind of nonsense… I’ll kill every single one of you. I won’t leave even one alive…”

Kang Chan slowly lifted his head.

All emotion had vanished from his face.

He looked at his targets with a blank expression, focusing solely on who he needed to kill.

He no longer felt any reason to live.

Which meant there was no reason to hide his true identity anymore.

“Hmph! Someone like you?”

The Green Elf, not noticing the change in Kang Chan, sneered.

“If you have the ability, give it a try. Hohohoho!”

“I won’t let a single one of you escape…”

“Oh really~? You think you alone can do that? That’s quite something…”

The Green Elf stopped mid-sentence when her eyes met Kang Chan’s.

There was no sadness, anger, or hatred in his eyes.

His eyes were devoid of emotion.

He should have been mourning, angry, and filled with hatred.

He had lost the woman he loved right before his eyes, so he should have felt that way.

But from this human, she felt nothing.

Instead, an inexplicable sense of discord enveloped the Green Elf.

She felt fear from the human who was in a ragged state.

The hair standing up on her arms testified to it.

“Fear? Me, feeling fear?”

She definitely felt an alien emotion, but it wasn’t quite enough to classify it solely as fear.

However, the Green Elf clearly sensed it.

The emotion that had made even her, who had reigned as an absolute being for hundreds of years, tremble was indeed fear.

And she saw it.

The man before her was not lying.

‘I will follow you, Jaina.’

– Final safety mode release.

– Entering combat mode level 6.

– Thank you for your hard work, Captain Kang Chan.

The bio-computer bid farewell to Kang Chan, who had chosen a path of no return, having lost the meaning of his life.

He had only about 30 minutes left to endure.

Strange changes began to occur in Kang Chan’s body.

His rapidly reddening body swelled as if it would burst multiple times.

His eyes began to be stained with blood.

Soon, his mana accelerated at a pace incomparable to combat mode level 5.

His body quickly filled with an overwhelming amount of mana.

The mana holes swelled as if they would burst, and the mana, having nowhere to go, spilled out of his body.

The Green Elf thought that he was no longer human as she witnessed the human causing a tremendous mana storm.

“Could it be… a demon?”

The Green Elf, who had approached to kill Kang Chan, was shocked by his strange transformation.

An incredible amount of mana emanated from the human who was on the verge of death.

Moreover, his current appearance was too unnatural to be called human.

Thanks to his metabolism, amplified hundreds of times, his wounds healed instantly.

His healing ability surpassed that of a troll.

Thick veins, as large as fingers, constantly squirmed all over his body.

Even the surviving elves were stirred by Kang Chan’s strange transformation.

“Stop resisting and die quietly!”

The Green Elf, determined to end the strange human who made her feel inexplicable discomfort, lashed out with her whip.

However, to her astonishment, the human deflected her whip with a simple wave of his hand.
