The beautiful trajectory of the sword illuminated the dark alley. In that golden waterfall of light, was a cluster of twinkling stars, as if the Milky Way had been torn off in its entirety and pasted there.

For some reason, that twinkling felt like something close to the life force, soul, or essence of the Golden Reaper. Maybe that was why the Golden Reaper, who was covered in a gentle flame all over his body, faded more and more as time passed.

The fading Golden Reaper did not hop around splendidly using the terrain and walls of the alley like before. It simply swung its sword, which was much larger than its own body, silently and repeatedly.

The group of murderers was overwhelmed with joy, but it was extremely concerning for the student. At first glance, its two legs stood straight, looking all fine, but upon closer inspection, they were definitely not.

The Golden Reaper’s feet, still firmly rooted to the ground, were shaking slightly as if they had lost their strength. It was clear that it was going to collapse at any moment, but it clenched its teeth and held on.

It wasn’t that he chose not to do the 3D maneuvers anymore, more so it couldn’t because it didn’t have enough energy left. So the Golden Reaper did not bother eliminating enemies with minimal sword strikes, and instead, enlarged its sword to eliminate enemies without needing to move.

The brilliant and overwhelming trajectory was enough to intimidate the murderers. But the price of such brilliant sword strikes was steadily accumulating. Its body slowly became transparent with each swing, pieces and fragments falling off and scattering.

“Just run away. Even if you help me like this, there’s no hope for me anyway.”

The student repeated, feeling a little sad about the Golden Reaper’s pointless devotion. It was all useless after all. But the Golden Reaper only responded to him with a happy smile, as if it was happy just by swinging its sword for him.

The student who saw that smile could no longer open his mouth. It was because he felt the emotions of the Golden Reaper.

Considering that he was cured of the strange problem he suffered from because of this series of events and accidents, he made a short wish for the Golden Reaper in his heart.

May this kind Golden Reaper survive.

He prayed that the Golden Reaper would not waste its life on meaningless things.

May this wish reach God and come true.

*********

It hurts.

Gradually turning its body into firewood it burned. Originally, turning a body into firewood didn’t make much sense, after all, firewood lacked direct attack capabilities, so it wasn’t very useful when protecting a precious human.

However, the Golden Reaper now had the ability to turn firewood into a sword of light. From its palm, a long sword raised high into the sky, spreading out, and scattering brilliant starlight.

It struck down the ‘Bad Object’ with it.

With every swing of the sword, the firewood was used up, and its flesh crumbled away a little to fill it. As its flesh burned, its mind became hazy. Now, It didn’t even know if it was holding the sword properly. It was just swinging its sword out of habit that had been ingrained into it from swinging it thousands of times before.

“Just run away. Even if you help me like this, there’s no hope for me anyway.”

When it heard the incomprehensible voice of the precious human, the Golden Reaper smiled sadly. It was because of the feelings coming from him; the precious human’s desire for the Golden Reaper to survive even if the precious human dies.

It was a wish similar to the Golden Reaper’s wish.

The Golden Reaper wanted its precious human to survive even if it died.

It swung its sword as it hoped the precious human would always smile and be happy.

I hope the precious human will be happy from this moment onwards.

With that wish in its heart, the Golden Reaper cut another Object in half.

Crumble-!

All of a sudden, the Golden Reaper’s body tilted to one side. One of its legs broke, and it could no longer support its body properly. However, even though one of its legs was broken, the Golden Reaper just put strength into its remaining leg and swung its sword once more.

In its blurred vision, the Golden Reaper saw its own body becoming transparent. As the firewood ran out, it saw its body gradually losing its luster and crumbling like sand.

“Hah! You were a worthy adversary, but sadly it seems like the end is near.”

The voice of the ‘Bad Object’ was full of triumph.

Its voice gave the impression that it was sure of its imminent victory.

However, the Golden Reaper just swung its sword silently as if it couldn’t hear its words.

When…

Crunch-!

It heard a crumbling sound in its head.

Something important had broken.

Now, it couldn’t see clearly at all.

Its blurry vision was filled with endless darkness, yet its hazy mind just silently held its sword and swung it. The Golden Reaper had the ability to track emotions and malice. As long as it could feel the warm affection of the human and the malice of the bad Object approaching its precious human, that was enough.

The Golden Reaper only had a small wish left. It was that it hoped that this feeling would not disappear until it died. That it could continue to swing his sword until it died.

The Golden Reaper simply swung its sword with that wish. Even if the bad Object mocked its meaningless death. Even if the precious human was worried about it.

The Golden Reaper, in a hazy state of mind, simply swung his sword with that wish.

In the endless darkness, it felt something catch on the tip of his sword as he swung it without thinking. It was a ‘space’ that it could barely reach by pouring out all the firewood it had in its normal state.

At that moment…

The Golden Reaper came to understand ‘space’.

The endless darkness began to crumble.

Alleys stretching endlessly to the left and right.

Bad Objects running endlessly.

And the precious human looking down at him with a sad face.

A world that he saw not as light, but as space.

In that world, he could see the knot of space.

The Golden Reaper opened its eyes which it couldn’t use to see and looked at the space in front of it. The firewood it currently had was only enough for one sword strike. Still, the Golden Reaper silently raised its sword with a serious expression and swung it toward the knot of space.

It was a sharp slash that left only a small gap in space, leaving no noticeable traces like when its mom forcibly tears space apart, but the Golden Reaper still smiled happily.

At that moment, the Golden Reaper’s final secret technique was activated.

Ultimate attack! Calling Mom.

*********

The brilliant trajectory of the sword cut through the empty space where no one was. The Golden Reaper’s final slash swung into the empty space where there was nothing in sight.

The Golden Reaper was gradually breaking down, but this was what happened in the end.

Then, the Golden Reaper fell down like a doll with dead batteries and became motionless.

“Golden Reaper…”

The Golden Reaper was in a state where it looked like it would break if he touched it, so the student couldn’t touch it. He just looked at the Golden Reaper who had fallen to the floor, fidgeting.

“Hahahaha. Finally!”

The female student was clutching her stomach and laughing loudly as she watched that.

She said that she knew it would happen.

She said that it’s funny how it kept continuing that pointless tantrum.

She was having fun talking about all sorts of things.

The people who had turned into murderers in the alley were laughing like they had lost their minds. The female student who had been laughing like that for a while suddenly stopped and looked down at her wristwatch.

“Serial murders in Mapo-gu. From 6 p.m. to 4 a.m.”

She was saying it with a flat tone that it was hard to believe she had been laughing just a moment ago. Then she raised her head with a blank expression and said while lifting only one corner of her mouth.

“We don’t have much time? One person per day.”

For some reason, she looked like a puppet moving awkwardly and creepily. As soon as she finished speaking, the murderer who had stopped moving started running again. The moment the killer, who had closed the distance in an instant, raised her folding dagger high and was about to bury it at the student, the space around the student exploded.

A crack much rougher and more forcibly made than the crack that the Golden Reaper had cut to heal the student suddenly appeared. Beyond that crack, the scent of chocolate that he remembered began to flow out.

Plop-! Plop-!

A gray Object that looked angry slowly walked out from a large hole that seemed to be 5 meters long and wide.

It was the strongest special Object in Korea that lived up to its fame.

It was the ‘Gray Reaper’.

*********

It was a fun day.

I liked the Reaper-only recreation, and I also liked the lightsabers the Golden Reapers gave me.

I also wanted to watch the highlight of the day, the showdown between the Red Reaper with its fire-made weapon made and the Golden Reaper with its lightsaber.

In the center of the Mini Reaper Colosseum, the serious-looking Golden Reaper and the cheerful-looking Red Reaper were facing each other. The Red Reaper looked like a great warrior, holding a flame hammer in one hand and a flame scythe in the other, just as I had recommended, so I couldn’t help but smile.

It would have been a really, really fun match no matter who won.

But my joy was instantly dashed into the abyss.

It was because the space right next to my ear was sharply cut off.

Then, a very faint will flowed out from that crack.

If the crack in space hadn’t been right next to my ear, I wouldn’t even have heard it.

Mom…

It was a pitiful will that seemed to be uttered at the last moment while it was dying.

The moment I heard that sound, I suddenly felt angry and stuck both of my hands into the sharp gap and tore it to the sides.

Torn-!

The space was distorted and torn roughly, and the loud noise echoed loudly inside the Garden of the Mini Reaper.

Beyond the torn space, there was almost no firewood. Moreover, I also saw the Golden Reaper collapse into the ground.

It was the Golden Reaper who could return to the ‘Garden of the Mini Reaper’ whenever it wanted and could always call for me when it was injured.

I looked around with a fierce smile.

The yellow moonlight and the evil Objects with quite a strong presence.

They were the ones who tormented my child, who could only be tormented by me.

As I poured firewood to the Golden Reaper, who seemed like it would scatter at any moment, the other Mini Reapers slowly began to follow me through the hole in the Garden of the Mini Reaper.

The Red Reaper with the sickle and hammer.

The Black Reapers with their arms turned into a sword.

The Blue Reapers with a staff made of water.

Lastly, the Golden Reapers with a lightsaber.

As soon as the mini reapers who followed me saw the injured Golden Reaper, they raised their weapons as if they were going to take revenge.
