Chapter 217: Hope (2)

“Rose-nim...?”

”Yes, it's been a while.”

Rose completely removed her cloak as she came closer.

The young lady was holding a long scythe in one hand.

Yoo Eun-hye asked with amazement.

”Why is Rose-nim here?”

”Master told me to come. Yes? By the way, am I scary? Why are you so cautious?”

”Rose-nim shouldn’t be here. Or...did you come with the Saviour?”

Rose was confused.

“Saviour? Ahhh ~ that is him. By the way, is that big thing Hope?”

Rose pointed towards one of the team members with her scythe. Two members were carrying something.

But Yoo Eun-hye tensed up even more at Rose’s words.

Why did she know the name Hope? Only a very small number of people, including Kim Yong-woo, knew that name.

Yoo Eun-hye formed tight fists and said.

“...That’s correct.”

”Wah ~ really? Master, it is correct!”

Rose turned her head and cried out.

Who was behind her?

Yoo Eun-hye’s question was answered in a matter of seconds.

A shadow showed up behind Rose.

Yoo Eun-hye was shocked after seeing the shadow.

“You...!”

It was a man wearing a skull mask. A key figure in the guild who always disappeared, yet would reappear whenever they needed him.

People kept on saying he was dead. He had a tendency to move alone until he finally died when exploring a dungeon. Another time was due to a monster wave. At any rate, the majority of people thought he was dead.

Since then, Korea was invaded by demons and overwhelmed. Countless people died and cities were destroyed. Every time, Yoo Eun-hye and other Awakened always thought he would return.

He always appeared when they were facing danger. But he did not appear.

The demons unleashed a large number of creatures and devastated Korea.

So his presence was slowly forgotten.

”It has been a while. Yoo Eun-hye, Edward Windsor.”

The man took off his mask.

At that moment, Yoo Eun-hye’s eyes shook.

‘Ah...!’

That face, she was sure of it.

There was no mistaking it.

It was a face she had memorized and seen many times.

He was the one who found Yoo Eun-hye and built up her foundation.

The man who led her from the front.

He also caused Edward’s talents to bloom.

“Alive...you are alive.”

Yoo Eun-hye spoke with as much calm as possible. She wasn’t her old self. The playful and bright Yoo Eun-hye had become an adult. She was a warrior who knew how to compromise with reality and fight coldly. Now she had the role of leading the party.

“Many things have happened.”

His voice was different.

A heavy bass. A cold expression.

His arrogant eyes that looked down on everything.

She was pleased but couldn’t crumple. Randalph Brigsiel had been her idol. However, he was already dead.

Maybe he was revived through a demon’s plot.

It didn’t matter if his appearance was the same.

It was now customary to have doubts first.

“Captain-nim?”

One of the members asked Yoo Eun-hye as they stepped forward. They noticed that an unusual atmosphere had formed.

The members who didn’t know the relationship between those two or Rose’s identity were confused.

However, Yoo Eun-hye didn’t hear their voices. She was sweating and trying to conceal the fact that her heart was beating wildly.

”Why are you here? How does Rose-nim...?”

”Why do you think?”

He asked. Yoo Eun-hye was confused.

Rose was one of the Saviour’s children. The Saviour saved Korea and soon disappeared. Only Roy and Rose remained. People held up his children as kings. The influence of the two dark elves in South Korea could be considered the best.

‘...It isn’t possible.’

Yoo Eun-hye’s body trembled. It was like being hit by lightning.

She had considered it once in awhile. The Saviour hid his face. No one knew what he looked like. Yoo Eun-hye sometimes thought that the Saviour was ‘him.’ Randalph Brigsiel might have appeared like that on purpose.

But no matter how positive the thought was, it was unreasonable.

There were similar but slightly different parts. It wasn’t simply referring to his appearance. To be honest...the person called the Saviour had a very atmosphere around him. Fear. There was something about him that touched their primitive instincts. Sometimes it was horrifying to see his indiscriminate slaughtering of creatures.

Randalph Brigsiel had a different atmosphere.

And their capabilities were different. Although the leader of the Devil Hunters had been the strongest human, he wasn’t at the level of the Saviour.

The dark elves...demons or creatures.

The Awakened, including Yoo Eun-hye, were convinced that the Saviour was one of those existences.

Even so, none of them said anything. The civilians had no power. They needed to have faith and hope to rebuild Korea. If he could make them stand up then they wouldn’t question the Saviour’s identity. It was a secret they would keep inside them forever.

However, the captain of Devil Hunters had been a human. She believed he was a human.

He was violent, but Yoo Eun-hye thought he was different from a demon. So far, demons and creatures had never compromised with humans. Korea had only one dungeon but that was changed due to the invasion by other demons. The floors disappearing played a pivotal role.

So the captain couldn’t be the Saviour. It was too far-fetched.

‘Master, Saviour...’

Yoo Eun-hye considered Rose’s words.

But...she just couldn’t know.

Her body shook and her eyes rapidly moved. If those two were the same person...

“It seems like Kim Yong-woo hasn’t said anything.”

The man said.
