040. The End of Idiocy
The time when Selene and Cosmos clashed for a long time in the space of nothingness. Left alone in her mansion, Endymion wrapped her head in agony.
“Ughhhhh!”
The twisting moaning and twisting of the whole body in the chair was similar to being tortured.
The thick veins on his temples, his complexion turned red and bluish, and even the bead-like cold sweat running down his pale skin… There was nothing that did not express his feelings.
It wasn’t long before he started doing this. More precisely, it was around the time when the vibrations that still shook the ground first erupted.
Endymion, who had his eyes gently closed, was in a state of shock from then until now, as if it were suddenly attacking his head.
‘My head feels like it’s going to break… !’
The shock that suddenly hit his goal was so terrible that it made a loud noise. I wish I knew the reason, but I felt like I was going to go crazy because it started without knowing the reason.
‘What is it? Why do these memories… No, wait a minute-‘
Then, when he finally discovers the countless memories hidden behind the pain, the situation changes rapidly.
‘I’ve never been like this… No, it’s not me in the first place. But why do I know this… ‘
The fragments of memories that were scattered here and there are put together one by one to form a single form. The process was grueling, but when it was finally done, I felt like I could finally see the outline.
‘This… ‘
So Endymion also realized.
‘… It’s my memory.’
It was not an unfamiliar experience to kill so many people, but getting the protection of the king and punishing the rebels was something that was impossible in this life.
Before coming to this world, Endymion was only a family… And because he killed a person for a request passed on from another organization.
‘Non-type… ‘
Because that was another name he hadn’t remembered before. In addition to that, even the name Ha-jin was originally chosen from a previous life….
Endymion felt an indescribable emotion.
‘And… ‘
Aside from recalling the memories of his previous life, Endymion felt that there was a serious matter to be resolved immediately, and before that, he expressed his doubts.
‘… Why can I feel the energy of the sword up close?’
A cursed sword that imprisoned countless souls. It must have asked the Taoist to put it far away, out of reach of anyone.
‘Did Shinseon lie?’
To say that, the rest of the promises have been fulfilled. Besides, the cost to bet on that promise was certain, so Endymion could understand the reason without too much difficulty.
‘Yes… There’s no such thing as a perfect closed room.’
Where else in the world could there be such a perfect place? Even if there was a place no one could reach, it was just ‘yet’ unreached… In the end, it was a self-evident fact that one day we would reach it.
‘This is what happened in the end… ‘
That’s why, unfortunately, the dagger in someone’s hand is felt in the distance.
What kind of a joke of fate is this? Endymion laughed dejectedly.
‘It’s a torch to take back.’
I hear the cries of the sword.
It was something that could not be ignored.
Endymion skimmed over the restraints that united the chair and body, and cut it off without difficulty. In fact, there was no reason to continue to be tied up when using the ability, but so far, it was just tolerating it.
‘I must finish what I did.’
Resolve, no matter what you do with the dagger, you must retrieve it again. With that one purpose, Endymion impatiently released the restraints and moved. There was no bird to relieve the aching body.
‘Selene should be dealing with it by now.’
I know very well that it is not a great person to let someone intrude on their territory. Endymion decided to retrieve his dagger before it was too late.

If there was a fight at the end of the century, what would it be like? It was such a great clash that I thought so.
It was normal for huge fireballs to fly around or colorful spears to embroider the air, and the mana emitted by the two wizards was so great that a tiny crack appeared in the middle.
‘Originally, that guy should have fallen a long time ago.’
Even in the middle of a fight, Selene judged her opponent’s strength with her cool reason. It may have been an ability that he would have known in the centipede world, but he was certain that Selene herself was a higher-level wizard.
‘But is it because that dagger worked as a variable?’
He didn’t fall down easily. He was filthy and tired of doing all he could.

Meanwhile, Cosmos was also struggling to figure out Selene in the middle of a long fight.
‘This is unexpected… ‘
That witch was more skilled than I thought. I realized it belatedly, but Cosmos had no other way to do it.
‘It shouldn’t have been a fight in the first place.’
The cold sorcerer’s heart makes such judgments. But what to do? Water that has already been spilled cannot be picked up.
And it wasn’t hopeless either.
‘If I had this dagger, I wouldn’t know again.’
A dagger imbued with tremendous power that served as the biggest variable in this battle. Cosmos had been strengthening the power of magic by borrowing the power of the dagger.
So, at least on the outside, it was possible to play a close match.
‘You don’t have to worry about running out of mana.’
The burden of long-term battles has been reduced. Also thanks to this sword.
‘The only thing I’m concerned about… It means that the shaking is worse than before.’
I hadn’t taken it seriously so far, but at this point, I couldn’t help but worry about Cosmos.

Moreover, it was not very pleasant to have an uneasy element in the middle of a competition field.
The time when mana was scattered in the atmosphere, filled with the thought of winning each other.
Damn it——
There was a crack.
It was unexpected.
For that reason, the two of them stopped fighting and their eyes turned to that direction for a moment.
At the same time, the two were thinking the same thing.
‘Is this a reinforcement called from the other side?’
… Clink-!!!
Gear nose wide open crack. Selene, who knew all too well what was beyond that, couldn’t help but shake her eyes.
In addition, she spits out questions.
“How do you…?”
The white hair that swayed as if it were softer than anything else, and the eyes were blue as if they contained the blue of the sea.
There were clear traces of being tied to something all over the clothes and bare skin, but there were only traces of it… There was nothing to restrain him now that he had appeared.
“Endymion…”
Selene was stunned to see him suddenly appearing from the rift. That would be the case, because he and the crack itself were a combination that could not be on the same line.
‘How… No, there’s absolutely no way that guy opened the rift alone.’
Soon Selene is enraged.
“Who opened the way for you to come here? Tell me the truth. Vesta? Or the guy I met before…”
Before she could finish her words, Cosmos’ panic echoed.
“Uh, why, why are you doing this!?”
Cheolgeureok- Jeolgeureok-
The dagger that was held precariously in his hand shook as if he was about to escape at any moment. Cosmos tried her best to stop it, but in vain.
“Ah-!”
In the end, the dagger slowly left his bosom, drew a graceful line, flew up, and eventually landed in someone’s bosom.
And then, at that sight, the two men and women were at a loss for words.
“…It’s been a while.”
Endymion muttered quietly, feeling the sensation in his hand. He didn’t look embarrassed because he had an object he didn’t know at all, but rather he was just scanning the scabbard as if he was used to it.
“Give me…”
“…?”
“Give me that!”
Cosmos, who suddenly lost his sword, was dazed for a while, and soon after seeing the sword, his eyes lit up and he shouted.
Then Endymion stared at him with an expression wondering what it was doing, and Cosmos, unable to remain in place any longer, kicked the ground.
“Endymion-!”
Selene didn’t even have time to react. If she was in a state of doing her best, she wouldn’t know, but she stopped flowing once in the middle, so she couldn’t catch up with her desperate movement.
The cosmos that flew like a darting arrow and landed right in front of Endymion’s nose, Endymion saw his eyes met in an instant and murmured softly.
“You’re bewitched.”
No need for long words. In an instant, he pulled the dagger out of its scabbard. And then wield it carelessly.
“Oh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah —— !!!!!!!!!!!”
A long scream, of course it belonged to Cosmos. He allowed an attack in an instant… The price was pretty harsh.
If it was only cut by a dagger, it would be a mistake. The resentment built up over a long period of time by a nobleman named Bihyeong is not something to be ignored even as a transcendentalist.
Bi-hyung regretted it too late. In addition, Bihyung, who is half a ghost, did not die for a long time. During those years, the king changed many times. Bihyung swore allegiance to them as well.
The accumulated resentment eventually led to the creation of a demonic sword.
“Ahhhhh?
Cosmos, who had been cut by such a demonic sword, suffered greatly. The miasma in his wound was so strong that it wouldn’t be strange if he died instantly.
He is only alive because he is a transcendental being.
It was a set procedure from the moment he was cut that he would die soon.
Cheolgeureok-
After a while, Endymion puts a lead sword in front of him who is suffering… Cosmos widened his eyes.
“Oh, no-“
But it was a meaningless outburst. His soul cut by the sword is helplessly sucked into the sword.
Soon after, the idiot who blindly believed in the dagger faced death by the dagger he believed in blindly.
Cosmos was the moment when a wizard’s life ended.
