I stopped being a warrior and became the strongest

The price of grief.

“Is he…”

Is it the emperor of the desert who once crossed the desert and ruled the continent?

[You don’t have to look at it like that. Because it’s who you think it is.]

The man smiles and flicks his fingers.

And then the time stopped moving.

The corners of the feet, which looked like a picture of a width, start to move.

[I heard the Emperor slaughtered the Giants of the North this time…]

[Of course, the glory of Babylon will last forever, as long as the Grand Master is around.]

The people who stopped talking were very much alive.

Even the desert breeze feels clear.

“ · · · ”

But even in that stunning sight,

Doren looks at the man and asks.

“What do you want from me? Do you want my soul? ”

[Soul? Hahahahaha! Soul? I don’t have anywhere else to take a shit. I’m not interested.]

Did he find his questions interesting?

The man smiles coolly and looks at Doren.

“If you don’t want life or soul, what do you want? ”

What do you want?]

Doren’s question takes half a month to reach the king’s mouth.

[Something more special and interesting, yes. I want what life has to offer in return.]

“The essence…? ”

The nature of what?

What the hell does he want?

[Emotions. Yes, I want you to have feelings.]

‘.. emotions? ’

You want emotion.

Doren frowned at what he could not understand.

The emperor continues to speak.

[Yes. Emotions are the foundation of life, the foundation of all life. But even in death, you’re different, aren’t you?]

When the Grand Master laughed.

Doren is speechless.

[I want those feelings, those feelings of being that are beyond even death.]

“Why do you want that? ”

[Do you have any reason to tell this trivial creature?]

Doren’s face was stiffened by cold reactions.

The emperor laughs and connects his words.

[There’s nothing you can’t tell me. I wanted to know how they felt. A warrior Awakened by the death of his comrades. Love transcends death. I don’t know if it’s real. If so, I wanted to know how they felt. That’s your answer, right?]

“.. so if I give my feelings to the Emperor… what do I get?” ”

The man at Doren’s question spreads his arms to his left and to his right.

Let’s do it.

Wazazak

[Gaaaahhhh!]

There was a big earthquake in the vast kingdom beneath our feet.

A massive sandstorm sweeps through people’s homes.

“ · · · ”

By the time this glorious civilization is wiped out.

The man at the table says:

[Some of my strength. You can get a piece of the greatest power that can hold the world together. The power to make life look funny.]

“A part of the power of the Grand Master. ’

As much as the power he showed me immediately gave me credibility to his words.

I could easily accept it.

“ · · · ”

However, unlike such a mind, Doren does not respond quietly.

[Hmm… Isn’t my power attractive? Or is it less eager to get my son back?]

Then a quiet voice came out of the man’s mouth.

Doreen gets exactly what she wants.

“How did you…”

I haven’t told him yet.

How did the Emperor know that?

[I am the Almighty. It’s not that hard to look inside of a creature. There’s no truth in this world that I don’t know.]

“ · · · ”

Maybe it’s because I thought I found myself inside.

Doren kept on talking.

Again, the Emperor seduces him.

[If you want something, you have to give up what’s worth it. If you want my power, of course you have to give me something. Or is it something you don’t want to give up? You don’t have to give me that much. One feeling, that’s all it takes.]

A quiet voice was echoing through the room.

Doren’s mouth finally opens, which was tightly closed.

“Do I really just have to give you my feelings? ”

[You must obey what you say. That was the rule of the desert, wasn’t it?]

“ · · · ”

‘Emotions… If you can get Doran out of it… I’ll give you anything you want!’ ’

The emperor said he would keep his promise, and Doren pondered over and over again.

He finally opens his mouth.

“Then… I… will give you grief. ”

Doren’s words drop.

A deep howl is drawn on the mouth of the Grand Master.

[Indeed… Sadness is the most useless and useless emotion. You made a wise choice. Fine! I’ll take your grief.]

When the Grand Duke has finished speaking.

Zec

“Ugh…”

Doreen suddenly feels something pulling out of her chest.

That’s…

A yellow thread ripped from the chest and held by the emperor.

Is that how sadness shapes emotions?

When Doren was unraveling like a thread.

[Our deal is done.]

The Emperor longed for yellow threads and shed a strange smile.

[I look forward to how you feel next time.]

Suddenly, his appearance and the ruined kingdom disappear.

“D-Ren! Doren! Doren!! ”

At the same time, a strong wave of his hand and a loud voice stimulate his ears.

Doreen saw Sazanne’s face stiffened.

“I’m fine. I’m fine. ”

He smiles lightly and touches Seyzan’s big hand.

“You’re looking like a clay doll whose soul has escaped. Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I’m really okay. It’s just…

Doren circles around.

‘Obviously, we were in the ruins…’

What you see now is just a vast desert.

“Suddenly, the ruins disappeared. In a moment. Like sand.”

Doren nods dazed in Seizan’s explanation.

“What happened earlier…”

I remember making a deal with the Emperor in return for my sadness.

But nothing seemed to have changed that much.

Was it a dream? ’

Doren is tilting her head.

“Oh…”

Suddenly sweep his chest.

Smile bitterly.

Is this what you paid him for?

Obviously, a moment ago, in his heart,

With the hope of finding my son.

There was great love for sorrow, anger, carved happiness, and Doran.

But now…

It’s not sad.

My heart was saddened by the loss of Doran, but now I am calm.

This is the result of paying for your emotions.

There were only other emotions floating around where there should be sorrow.

“ · · · ”

Even when I tried to squeeze my tears, my eyes were silent.

Doren finally comes to a conclusion.

‘It wasn’t a dream… I really made a deal with the Emperor. ’

We don’t know the outcome of the deal.

‘But… this brings me one step closer to my son. Doran… just… wait a little longer. ’

When he clenched his fist, remembering Doran’s face.

“Doreen! Your… arms…”

I heard Cayron’s distraught voice.

“Arms? What…”

Doren looked down and looked at his arm.

The sandy arm occupies the spot where the arm should be.

“No way… what happened? ”

Cayron swallows his saliva and carefully asks questions.

‘Maybe it has something to do with the giant arm that was housed on the altar being lost. ’

When he looked at the sand that was hanging on Doren’s arm.

Doreen somehow recites a distinctly engraved word in her head.

“Arise, my soldiers. ”

Sassac

Then over the vast desert.

There were so many sand soldiers that they couldn’t even count it.

“W-what…”

“ · · · ”

Cayron and Cezanne stare at him in horror.

But, um…

‘Doran… just… wait a little longer… I will save you. ’

Doren stared at the soldiers without hesitation.

Zec

Soldiers are on Doren’s command at the same time.

JooJoon recognizes that his vision has returned to its original location.

Hmm.

Doju frowns, reminiscing about the situation a little while ago.

‘I can’t believe there’s such a thing as the Great Desert Emperor…’

I thought he was just a mythical figure.

‘I don’t think it’s God. ’

He has already met God many times, so I’m sure JooJooJoon has met God.

‘Then… is he really my enemy? ’

But soon the head shaking.

‘It’s not unlikely, but if he really is the enemy, there’s no reason to reinforce the warrior I sent. ’

in exchange for a great deal of grief and power.

‘Of course, Doren may be a warrior because she doesn’t know I sent her… But I have to think about it for a while. ’

He reminded me of the Great Desert.

He then thinks of his warrior, Doren.

“Doreen, grief gives you great power in return for your emotions. If that’s your choice, I respect and support your choice. But…

According to Doren and the other warriors, there were five ruins left by the emperor of the desert.

Doren and her group take one of the dogs.

‘Then, can we exchange the power of emotion and emperor even in the four remaining ruins? ’

Let me think about it.

A faint solid line is drawn on the forehead of the projection.

‘Assuming that Doreen’s party occupies all the remaining ruins, then Doren must devote her own emotions to save Doran? ’

I gain strength in return for my emotions, and I use that power to save my son, Doran.

Not bad.

No, Doreen would be the best choice.

But…

Devote your emotions and meet Doran.

Will Doreen be able to enjoy the joy of having her son back?

‘A man without emotion is like a machine. ’

“ · · · ”

Quiet for a while.

He immediately stares into the air with trusted eyes.

‘Even if Doren loses her mind and looks like a machine, Doren is Doren. And I… believe in my warrior’s choice. ’

He held his fist as he recalled his warrior’s choice.

Clears Warrior Doren’s Quarterly Achievement.

The warrior Doren has succeeded in conquering the ruins of Babylon, the emperor of the desert.

Outside Achievements: With the help of Mentor Heina, Warrior Doren was able to gain “Magical Power.”

Get Desert Dew as a reward.

“Desert dew”? ’

I was tilting my head at a strange word.

Tuk

Suddenly, a small drop-like gem drops from his feet.

Desert Dew

Description: Relic of the Kingdom of Babylon, where an ancient glorious civilization was built.

Ability: I think I can feel cool in the hot desert if I hold this item.

Restrictions: This item will only trigger in the desert.

“Oh…”

There is a faint smile on JooJooJoon’s mouth after seeing the description.

‘So you can keep it cool in the heat, is that it? ’

Then it may be possible to not sweat a drop in the hot summer.

‘Ah, but there are some restrictions… only in the desert? ’

Look at the limitations and grin.

‘In summer, do I have to store sand in my house? ’

He shrugs as soon as he thinks of something silly.

‘Anyway… thank you, Doren. ’

Targeting takes care of the item and puts it into subspace.

*

The next day.

Leading out of the Guard Center with a bang.

“Joon, the world is going crazy. No, what kind of beginner’s set are you going to take for that money? ”

“In some ways, it’s a natural order. The metastasis is gone.”

“Yes, but… I thought it would take a while for my skin to feel like this. Knng.”

Taste it splendidly, and see it magnificent again.

A nodding nod as if agreeing.

“In the future, the prices of all things will go up even more. At this rate, you’d better have at least one more. ”

‘In retrospect, it was a good thing I didn’t sell Kim Chi Bomber’s stuff on the pawn shop earlier. ’

He was moaning his head as he recalled the past.

I ask cautiously.

“By the way, Tojun, I don’t mean to say this, but… do you have the money to live? ”

“Brother, I don’t have Gao. You think I don’t have money? ”

JooJoon nods, smiling and smiling at his jokes.

“Oh, Joon. Did you hear the news? ”

“What news? ”

“I hear the King clans are having some kind of meeting tomorrow and they’re coming into my country. ”

The End
