I am not a returner Episode 288:
Dog and Wolf (13)
“Ugh... let go!”
Leoru, whose neck was grabbed by Horus, twisted his body as if in pain.
He looked back at Riak and shouted as if he was squeezing.
“If you kneel... you are not allowed!”
Riak’s shoulders trembled at Leoru’s sorrowful cry.
“I told you to be quiet.”
Bah!
Horus slapped Leoru’s cheek again.
Leoru, who was struggling, lowered his head, spurting blood.
“Now kneel, Riak.”
Horus glared at Riak with burning eyes.
“If you kneel here, I promise to release all of the captured Silver Manes.”
“...Horus.”
“It means you have to choose!”
The choices you made.
A choice I had to make.
force him
“....”
Riak chewed his lip and gritted his teeth.
Horus burst into laughter as he looked at his conflicted appearance.
“Aren’t you... the same in the end, Riak?”
To protect precious beings.
Is that kind of pride a problem?
No matter how miserable and ugly it is.
Even if it’s a dog and not a wolf.
If only I could protect my precious being.
It’s nothing like kneeling.
“Sometimes... you need to be a dog.”
Horus spoke to Riak, who lowered his head.
no.
Maybe he was talking to himself.
“...sometimes you need to be a dog.”
A laugh flowed from Riak’s mouth.
Horus frowned and looked at him.
“Then you don’t have to worry, Horus.”
because.
Already myself.
“I’ve been living like a dog for too long already.”
Riak looked up at the sky with a bitter expression, as if reminiscing about the past.
“...What does that mean?”
“I mean it literally. “For the past hundred years, I have lived as a dog, not a wolf.”
I was denying it and saying it wasn’t.
I was ignoring it because it was something that could not be helped.
I know now.
What have you been doing for the past hundred years?
“Did I ask you what you did for the last hundred years?”
“...okay.”
“nothing.”
“what?”
“Nothing was done.”
It is an excuse to say that one could not come out of the sanctuary due to the restrictions of the law.
Even if it was the Holy Spirit himself, the Holy Spirit could be active outside the sanctuary to some extent.
but.
He did not go out of the sanctuary.
After becoming the Holy Spirit of Vega, he stayed in the sanctuary and trained like crazy to become stronger.
Because I don’t want to regret it this time.
In the name of needing the power to protect those precious to us.
If I can overcome the ‘wall’ and surpass the level of the past, I will leave to make up for my past mistakes.
So I swore in front of Vega.
“It was nonsense.”
I couldn’t get over the wall.
Even though I practiced like crazy, I never grew.
It’s natural.
because.
Because I never once had any intention of climbing over the wall.
“I was afraid of repeating failure.”
When he was given the chance again.
I was unbearably afraid of repeating the same failure.
“Once again, I was afraid that my people would die because of my choice.”
So I gave up trying again.
I crouched down, surrounded by the ‘wall’ I created myself.
If only I could overcome that wall someday.
If only I could become a little stronger.
at that time.

Without even responding, Riak swung his claws at the SS warrior holding the Silver Mane clan hostage.
Lightning’s fingernails are made along the traces of fingernails drawn in the air.
A blue-flaming thunderbolt was fired at the SS warrior at blinding speed.
“Huh!”
The eyes of the SS warrior holding the hostage widened in shock.
Lightning’s claws were not aimed at just him.
A blow that pierced even the Silver Mane tribe he was now holding hostage.
“You crazy bastard!”
Seeing Riak firing an attack as if he was planning to kill the hostage, the SS warrior let out a harsh curse and threw himself to the side.
“Kaaaaaa!”
The Silver Mane tribe member who was held hostage was unable to avoid the attack and was hit by Thunder’s claws.
A terrible scream broke out.
“Don’t worry, you won’t die.”
Riak threw himself to the side and ran toward the SS warrior who had dodged Thunderbolt’s claws.
Wow!
He kicked the SS warrior in the stomach as if he were kicking a ball.
“Kuhuheook!”
An SS warrior flew tens of meters and crashed into the castle wall.
“Liakuuu!”
Horus rushed towards Riak, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
thud! Coogung! Kugugoogung!
Clashing fists.
Even though it was simply a clash of fists, a series of explosive sounds shook the entire castle.
“Are you saying you don’t care if your own people die?”
Horus’ fist hit Riak harshly on the cheek.
“Even if all those who believed in and followed you die! “Are you the only wolf who wants to protect his pride?”
“What’s left in your life when you throw away your pride?!”
Riak’s fist struck Horus’ chin.
Horus’ head tilted back.
Horus grabbed Riak’s shoulders and struck his forehead like a hammer.
“There is life left!”
“There is only life left!”
With blood pouring from his torn forehead, Riak grabbed Horus’ shoulder this time and hit him on the forehead.
Bah!
With a dull sound, Horus fell backwards, spewing blood.
“You became a dog to save your people?”
“Wow!”
He roughly trampled on Horus’s fallen ship.
“Stop talking nonsense, Horus.”
Blazing hot eyes turned to Horus.
“You were just afraid of fighting.”
Because he cannot bear the weight of mortal life due to his own helplessness.
I just gave up fighting.
“What are you talking about that you know!”
“Have you forgotten who I was?”
Her silver mane fluttered in the swirling wind.
“I am ‘Khan’ Horus.”
The weight of life that I had to carry more than anyone else was distant.
Nevertheless.
No, that’s why.
“I had to become a wolf.”
If I give in, everyone else will give in.
If I break, everyone else breaks.
If I fall, everyone else falls.
“that is.”
Riak’s fist came down harshly towards Horus’ face.
“It is a weight that ‘Khan’ must bear.”
Coo!
Just before Riak’s fist came down.
Horus barely managed to avoid Riak’s fist by twisting his head.
Riak’s fist hit the floor and the ground caved in and collapsed.
Horus rolled on the floor to distance himself from Riak.
“Huh oh oh oh oh!”
A trickle of blood flowed down the corner of Horus’s mouth as he exhaled harshly.
Riak slowly walked towards Horus, who was out of breath.
“You would know if you had been there for a hundred years.”
“I am...”
“Not Khan?”
Eat.
Riak let out a laugh.
He glared at Horus with cold eyes.
“How long are you planning on running away like that?”
“....”
“I have given you the answer, Horus.”
Now it’s his turn to give the answer.
“Are you a dog or a wolf?”
Riak looked at his old friend and asked quietly.
