Green Skin

Chapter 253 Fact Violence

“So what?” said the damn bastard. “I understood your girl’s words perfectly. All that talk about ideals and humanity are just sweet words. You damn dog. But why are you shouting and making a fuss in front of someone else’s house? First of all, the eastern and northern regions aren’t inhumane. No matter how much you stir up trouble, that fact won’t change. If you want ideals, shout for them in your own front yard. Because of your damned ideals, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people have to die. Citizens like us are too busy being swept away. You are screaming and having fun now. If a war breaks out, more than half of you will die.

Of course, it was the truth. Probably more than half of those who were cheering would fall dead. Seeing how serious he became, he seemed to understand the hearts of the common people. He represented their inner thoughts.

“I believe in the theory of original sin. I believe that man is inherently evil. I’m the same, and so are you, the Sword Saint. People don’t move without greed and ambition. The idea that your girl rose up for ideals alone is definitely a lie. I, a fool, may not know, but there must be a reason for her to move. Even if she raised her sword with a pure heart, what will you do to compensate for the lives that will die because of her pure heart? You stupid idiots, cheering away. I can’t bear to see you pitiful.”

It was a completely different thought process from the greenskin’s, but as a former human, I could somewhat understand the gist of Lee Wanyong’s words. He was acting like a typical human who didn’t want to be swept away and wanted to survive.

He was very human.

“Under the guise of liberation and helping the weak, all you are doing is sweeping people into your grasp. It’s like shadowboxing against an imaginary enemy. And the result is tens of thousands of lives. You, the bastard standing next to the Sword Saint who just shouted, you’ll also die if a battle breaks out. You who were proudly holding the flag, the same goes for you. Are you really willing to sacrifice your life for humanity? That’s why you survived with your damn high-mindedness, you bastards!”

Interestingly, the cheering began to die down. It was as if the atmosphere couldn’t be calmed down.No one wanted to lose their lives.

“I can’t understand someone like you, an ignoramus who has never looked back…Evil people…”

“I’m the protagonist who rolled around in the shittiest part of life, you bastard.This is the very end, how do you expect me to look back?It’s you who can’t understand people like us.We fought to survive, yes, but how did we fight to survive?I was talented from the beginning when I was summoned, I’ve been practicing and becoming strong, unlike people like me who have been fighting for survival every day…What you just said is a deception to people like me who are barely clinging to life.

While listening to Lee Wanyong’s words, I unintentionally made eye contact with Choi Seulgi.He was our past self. We were the ones who fought desperately to survive no matter what.

“Ah… it pierces the heart.Seriously, where did you find this guy?”

Seeing Choi Seulgi curse in embarrassment, I nodded.”I told you, it’s ‘Somorah.’”

The Sword Saint’s words were a deception to us.She has no right to say such things.I had to agree with Lee Wanyong’s words.

“Everyone here is probably the same, but I too have killed people.You bastards.Not with high ideals like yours.Just to survive.I killed them because I needed to live, you bastards. Sword Saint, you fucking bitch.You don’t know anything, you bastards! We are not fighting for some noble ideal, we are fighting for ourselves! You fucking bastards!And we survive!We win!”

“‘Wahhhhhhhh!”

“Wahhhhhhhh!”

I felt that the green skin conveyed the words I wanted to say, and he did it better than Kim Taesung in the past. He’s working hard to survive, and he’s actually succeeding.

Cheers could be heard from the warriors outside the city walls.”Hey. Who are you, the eastern side?”

“I… don’t know. Just yell for now! Wooowaaaaaaaaaah!”

The story of the northern warriors could be heard from somewhere, and I found myself laughing unintentionally.An unknown villain has touched the hearts of these people.There are no high ideals here.There are only those who fight for survival.- Your way of thinking has caused many people to suffer.

– Your way of thinking causes more people to suffer.Holy prostitute. Let me say one last thing to those who still suck that bitch.The Southerner. You, the guy who looks like a frog. Yes, you. I’ve heard a lot about you hanging around with the Sword Saint lately.You look dirty.Yes, you. Let me ask you a question.You haven’t done it with her yet, have you?Who would want to do it with a guy like you?Everybody here is the same.You sons of bitches.You think someone like you is going to fall out of the sky.Just like frogs.Not everyone is holy just because they have divine power.

For some reason that line reminded me of Bae Ahyeon.

– She’s not holy, and she’s not even highly dignified.She’s just a mentally disturbed bitch. So stop sucking on her for no reason! You sons of bitches! It’s not like she’s going to give you divine power anyway!

– You… you… !!!!

For a moment, I thought I heard the loud voice of the Sword Saint. I suppressed my laughter. Meanwhile, Lee Wanyong was quietly relieving himself on the wall, and we could hear him giggling from above.

– Eat this! You bitch!

“It is not only him. Even the soldiers who were on the wall with him relieved themselves, and there were many female soldiers among them.

Northern women were known to be tough, and they truly had no shame. It was as if they were female warriors, just like the greenskins.-Eat this!You bitch!

-Thank you for coming all this way. Eat a lot!

-You shit!

-This is a gift!

He’s quite impressive. After the mission was completed, Lee Wanyong began to tremble and calmly removed his belongings before slowly leaving his position. His confident descent after completing the mission perfectly was impressive.Perhaps due to the aftermath of lowering her pants, Chang Jeri subtly avoided him, but the continuous applause and handshakes with the soldiers around her as she descended were truly amazing.

“You did a good job!”

“You, bastard!”

“We… will… give you… three days.We encourage you to surrender if you wish to… cooperate.”

Thinking that he might not even know what he was saying due to his anger, Choi Seulgi opened his mouth and addressed me.

“Hey! Kim Taesung!You bastard!Kick out the Sword Saint!I’m really pissed off!Go into the tent! You shits, we’re going into the tent!”

“Ah…”

It felt like I had accidentally broken the spell earlier.I wanted to see him get angry, and the moment he confidently walked over, it was quite disappointing.

Finally, Lee Wanyong began to walk confidently toward me. His expression said that he had completed the mission perfectly and that it was time for the promised reward. I wanted to praise him, but for some reason, I didn’t like his arrogant expression. I once muttered to him.

“In the west and south, you may not be able to walk around with your head held high.”

Only then did I see his face turn pale. It was as if he realized what he had done after the excitement had passed.

“When the battle begins, I’ll come to capture you first. That’s for sure. Maybe once you’re captured, you’ll beg to be killed from the pain.”

Once again, his face turned pale. He was afraid because he knew he had done something wrong. If my guess was correct, the Holy Knights would rush to capture Lee Wanyong as soon as the battle began, sparing no effort. He had no choice but to become a greenskin or go to the north.

I laughed as he looked at me.

“Well… um…”

“Welcome to the Blood Dagger Clan.”

He must have understood the meaning of my words.

“Oh!”

As if he was surprised, he turned to look at me and gradually began to lower his head towards me.

“I-I will pledge my loyalty!”

I already know that you won’t pledge your loyalty. That was when I patted him on the shoulder. Suddenly he started to shake. Thinking that maybe I had put too much force into my arm, I looked into his pupils and they had subtly changed. They were not human eyes.

He has evolved.

I don’t know what he has evolved into, but he has evolved. His appearance was the same as the previous Lee Wanyong. However, the power in him was meager, and there was no definite sense that he was human. There was something strange about him.

For a moment, he seemed startled, but then he quickly composed himself and spoke to me.

“Well… then I’ll go in.”

“You… you’re not human anymore.”

A surprised expression, as if he had been shocked. He desperately avoided eye contact, and there was no sign of the confident attitude he had just moments ago.

“Ah… yes! I just… changed!”

“Before summoning Elia, it’s better to confess with your own mouth.”

He’s not human either. Like Jung Hayeon. In his case, he had always wanted to become a greenskin, but it seemed like some kind of barrier had just been completely shattered by my words.

He had thought about becoming a greenskin himself, but he thought that I wouldn’t accept it, so he suppressed it. After the dam broke, he had a chance to evolve. He may have held back, but he got the chance to evolve after suppressing himself, and there didn’t seem to be any choice in the matter.

“For… forgotten species, Doppleganger.”

“I take it this is the same Doppleganger I know?”

“Ah… yes, yes! It seems I can transform into the body of someone I’ve seen before.”

Doppleganger is a species I’ve never heard of before. It’s neither greenskin nor anything else. There’s no obvious power, but it seems their ability is optimized for survival, allowing them to transform into the body of someone they’ve seen before.

“Can you turn into me? What about an ogre?”

“Ah… it’s still impossible. It seems that I can only transform into human-like beings.”

“Can you turn into a Sword Saint?”

“If it’s just the appearance… it’s possible.”

I chuckled softly and nodded. He seemed to understand the meaning of my words and silently changed his appearance to that of a Sword Saint. There was no significant effect. It felt like a very natural transformation. He looked exactly like the Sword Saint from my memories, but when I focused on the magic in his eyes, I could subtly sense that he wasn’t the Sword Saint, but he was still Lee Wanyong. He didn’t have any holy power.

Although he was beautiful, he felt quite ordinary without any holy power.

“This… is the limit.”

His voice remained the same as that of the Sword Saint. It seemed that he was also surprised by his own voice when he looked at me. I just smiled as I watched him.

To be honest, this ability wasn’t very useful for us. It seemed impossible to copy abilities, and since he had very little power, transforming into something wouldn’t make much difference. Even when he added magic to his eyes, I could feel a slight instability. Maybe it was because of his low level or inexperience, or maybe Dopplegangers had limits. Still, I smiled.

I thought that during the three days they were waiting for our surrender, I could give the Sword Saint another dose of reality. Judging by his expression, Lee Wanyong seemed uncomfortable.

“I should go up often during these three days. Before the battle begins, I’ll take your body to the land of your brothers or to the continent, so rest assured.”

“Yes… yes!”

A word that made him happy. He nodded enthusiastically at the news that I would send him home.
