‘It’s bright for a night sky, but it’s still better than before midday.’
The night sky with three moons.
For Anton, the important thing is the ‘moon’, but for me, on the contrary, the fact that it is ‘night’ was important.
「Nevermore-there was no one.」
put on the dark
I am the one who has looked around even in the shadows.
Even if there are two more moons than usual, there is no problem using the attribute.
However, despite being surrounded by darkness, Dueok did not lose sight of me.
[This world of images belongs to that child and at the same time belongs to that guy.]
‘A surprise attack and an ambush are impossible.’
[If you sink below the darkness, you might be able to fool its eyes for a while. It will be difficult with this much darkness.]
The moon is too bright to cover the darkness any longer.
He is already using the ＜Poem of the Raven＞ to its maximum.
However, my role was to earn time from the beginning anyway.
‘I didn’t expect it to be that strong after making three full moons.’
I thought it would be fortunate if I could only succeed in recreating the night sky with two full moons I had seen in the forest, which was the training ground.
But Anton betrayed my expectations in a good way.
woo woo woo-
I heard Anton’s howl.
At this, Doouk’s movement stopped for a moment, and I used the gap to widen the distance.
Slowly, I just wanted to catch my breath.
I took a deep breath and talked to Anton.
“Looks good.”
“… Thanks to.”
A blunt answer came back.
However, the momentum rising from his body was not like that.
Considering the power wrapped around his body, it was natural.
‘If it’s the current Anton, it’ll be a good fight with Kang Min-hyuk.’
Even if it is impossible to defeat Kang Min-hyuk, with the current strength, Anton will not be defeated as helplessly as before.
Of course, under the premise that Kang Min-hyeok does not use ‘Hon-Won Singong’.
It is a ridiculous martial art that allows you to fight on an equal footing with an opponent of a higher level than yourself.
‘By the way, I didn’t expect Anton to achieve greater achievements than me, who ate the shrine… .’
Youngjaeni, Sujaeni, and geniuses that appeared in the novel are blocked by a wall and their growth stops at some point.
They often overcome the wall and achieve rapid growth with the slightest chance of something.
Anton in front of me did just that.
[You’re not trying to say you’re envious, are you?]
‘Why shouldn’t I be jealous?’
However, thanks to Anton’s growth beyond expectations, the odds of success, which should have been half, increased dramatically.
Two hundred thousand eyes moved from me to Anton.
That too would have been enlightening.
In that short period of time, the fact that Anton had grown to the point of threatening him.
“You did some tricks.”
My head throbbed with a headache at the sound of two hundred thousand voices.
Anton must have had a headache similar to mine, or even worse, but his expression was calm.
“You have to try it to know whether it’s a residual talent or not.”
“Oh~”
Antonchigo said something plausible.
Because of that, an exclamation of exclamation came out of me without my knowledge.
At this, Anton glanced in my direction and ran straight towards Duuk.
‘fast.’
Not just speed.
The power of two hundred million met with a single blow.
Even the physical strength that does not collapse even when giving each other a blow.
Anton has achieved incredible growth in that short amount of time.
[Are you just watching?]
The image world fluctuated with each exchange of attacks.
A huge tree rises in the distance, and the ground splits on the other side.
Dark clouds covered the sky, or thunderbolts fell from the dry sky.
[At first glance, it looks like a whistle, but I don’t think that balance will last very long.]
It’s just like Magu said.
Right now, though, it’s putting up a pretty tight fight.
Unlike Dueok, who did not think of his power waning, Anton felt that he was getting tired little by little.
‘I must have taken a breather. I should move slowly.’
* * *
Duooksini, a mysterious goblin boasting a jade-colored single horn.
Due to the three moons, Anton has awakened to a more fundamental power.
The fight between the two in front of them is a fight over the leadership of the world of images.
The rules are winner-takes-all, where the winner takes everything.
‘Anton has just raised his level through enlightenment, and Dueok, on the other hand, has consumed considerable strength in the fights so far.’
A battle with Shin Seong-ah, Namgung-ik, and Baek Yu-ri.
A fight with Maegoo follows.
Until the last thing I dealt with to earn time.
It’s surprising that even after a series of battles, that much power remains.
‘Of course, it would have consumed a lot of strength as an amulet.’
[This is definitely strange… . Come to think of it, I was accumulating too much power for being sealed in the sword.]
‘Someone artificially lent his strength. Is it reasonable to think so?’
And that someone must be the person who secretly left Yodo at the Hero Academy.
However, I don’t know who it is.
Compared to the original story, the episode titled ‘The Sword that possesses people’ is the first main episode after transferring.
This is because it was an episode that ended with a sad ending without any afterwords.
‘It’s not like there weren’t similar cases, but in all of those cases, the aftertaste ended with an unpleasant aftertaste.’
It wasn’t uncommon for readers to question this, but it wasn’t a novel that many people saw in the first place.
I also thought, ‘How do you leave so many rice cakes to retrieve them all later?’ I was just thinking about it.
Of course, none of the leftover rice cakes were recovered.
“Damn it… .”
It’s an original novel, is it expedient from the main character’s point of view?
‘Oh, I see. It ends like this and moves on to the next episode.’ you can pass it on
As of right now, I can’t be so optimistic.
Especially because of my actions, the story is going in a different direction from the original story little by little.
‘Surely Dueok wondered who left him here. Do you want to remember?’
I thought I might not remember, but the die hadn’t been cast yet.
However, it will only be possible to confirm this after helping Anton defeat Doouk.
[So, are you planning to sneak back and surprise me?]
‘That’s what I’m most confident about, so I’d like to do that at least. I don’t know if that’s possible.’
[I’m sorry to say this, but I’m not sure that the original woman can really cut that off either.]
Certainly, Doouk’s body was tougher and harder than expected.
With swordsmanship, he would only be able to inflict scratches.
It should be at least a test to be able to inflict wounds worthy of a wound.
[Moreover, if you look at that figure. If you can’t knock it down in one blow, it’s obvious that any serious wounds will heal quickly.]
Anton’s attack hit Doouk.
His fingernails cut through two hundred thousand chests.
A deep wound that would have been half a span disappeared in a few breaths.
Recovering from the wounds suffered was the same for Anton, but on a different level.
With that level of resilience, it might be possible to pick up a fallen head and stick it on.
‘In the first place, the structure of a monster is different from that of a human being. Wasn’t there a guarantee that he could kill even if he dropped his head?’
Dullahhan Duuksi fighting with his fallen head on his side.
I don’t even want to imagine.
[Probably so. As you said, the existence of a monster is both real and virtual at the same time.]
In the past, the night was not as bright as it is now.
Our ancestors saw the invisible darkness and felt fear.
It’s not just the fear of the dark.
Strange things that cannot be understood by the wisdom of ancestors, or misfortunes that happen by chance.
I tried to overcome fear by naming incomprehensible things.
‘Well, things that were just names passed down by word of mouth crawled out as the world became the way it is now.’
The same goes for demons and angels.
Unlike in the novels where there were more demons and angels.
I’ve had 1 demon encounter and 2 monster encounters.
Strangely, I feel like I’m getting more involved with this side.
[that… I wonder if it’s because the first supernatural being I met is the original woman.]
‘Maybe.’
It is said that similar things are attracted to each other.
The famous Yodo, which also appeared in the novel, ends at two hundred million.
Oddly enough, even after finishing this episode.
I had a hunch that I would continue to be involved with things that were not intensively dealt with in the novel Yodo and Yokai.
If possible, I hope that hunch is correct.
At least being able to talk about the future would be possible after defeating that thing.
‘I didn’t solve the surrounding darkness, and I think I killed the sound of footsteps and signs pretty well. I can see right through.’
Doouk continued to see right through me even while fighting Anton.
If they were distracted by the fight and opened up an opening, I was going to surprise them with a ‘ssack’.
‘At the same time as Anton’s image world, it is also his own image world. Is this?’
It is also not a friendly opponent.
That’s not to say there isn’t a way.
‘It’s fortunate that at least one weakness is certain.’
A jade-colored single horn located in the center of Dook’s forehead.
It is the source of his strength that he does not think about declining, and his weakness that I have to target.
[I don’t know if the expression ‘weakness’ is appropriate. The expression of the dragon’s wrath is more appropriate.]
Reverse Lin (逆鱗).
The dragon’s only weakness and vital point.
However, the expression of touching the dragon’s wrath is often used in a negative way.
This is because the dragon will never forgive those who do wrong.
‘If I accidentally touch the evil, it will only live the wrath of the dragon.’
However, what is in front of my eyes is not a dragon.
In its heyday, it may have had strength comparable to that of a dragon, but now it is just a monster in its final rage.
‘It’s said to be a weakness, but I’m not confident that I can break that horn.’
The two billion horns contain his power.
Conversely, the power contained in it makes the horns stronger.
Among the body parts of Dueok, the horns are probably the hardest.
‘Breaking the horn, if possible. Even if you can’t do it, if you can pay gold, it’s enough to knock it down.’
Right after he broke his horn, he was even thinking about fighting the weakened Doouk.
Thanks to Anton for growing beyond my expectations.
Once you break the horn, he’ll take care of the rest.
“I must have eaten the elixir I saved. Should I use at least one big room?”
I squeezed mana into the sword.
