121 – 25. Dream in a dream
The demonic beast that died immediately despite its grotesque appearance, and the hero that was lightly chopped as if slaughtering.
He approached me, lightly wielding a large sword that looked heavy at first glance with just one hand.
“……………….”
“Uh, um. Hero?”
You’re not trying to use that on me too, are you?
I usually said, “Die, please die,” But it was a joke, right? Yes?
Should I somehow get Abel a girlfriend?
“……Really…Yes…”
“──Yes?”
“In my lucid dream…A strange person…Came…”
“…Am I strange?”
Is that possible?
Is this the unknown story of Namgoong Min?
“… It was different… From usual… So I noticed it… Easily…”
“Then what did you do?”
“I just…Cut it down…”
Hmm.
You didn’t cut that with emotion or anger, right?
I believe not!!
“Anyway, thank you for saving me. A fake showed up for me too.”
Fake…… Rather than saying that, I guess it’s just another age.
There is no need to tell the hero that much, and even if I tell him now, it will only confuse him.
I will explain later.
“…I guess…It’s an oddity…”
“It’s called a lucid dream, but I can’t control anything right now. It seems like the fake is taking care of our dreams.”
“……What are the skills…?”
“I’ve already tried . It didn’t work.”
“It’s so annoying….”
This is just a guess.
This is not my dream.
Rather, it makes more sense to think that I entered a lucid dream dreamed by another me who manipulated this space as I pleased.
Let alone how on earth that was possible.
First of all, the fact remains that this is a dangerous situation.
“Let’s find other people first.”
“……Other……people……?”
“Obviously, I went to sleep holding the lane with Mr. Liu, but the fact that you can meet me means that you can meet other people as well. It seems like the use of skills is limited, so I’m worried about those two.”
“…I didn’t know…It was there…”
“Yes?”
“You…Slept with me…The princess…Holding on…”
“Uh, yeah? Really?”
“……Then…Are you going to say it…?”
Despite the sudden drowsiness, I thought I had somehow caught the two people.
It wasn’t Rio and Rain, but the hero and the princess?
Then the only person left is the princess…… Hmm………
“I’m not worried at all.”
“…Rather…I’m worried about…Fake…”
“Wouldn’t it be better than getting cut with a great sword?”
“……Do you want to get cut once…?”
“I’ll shut up.”
Well, I don’t know if Liu and Raine were connected at the time when the unexpected situation of me coming into another dream of mine occurred in the first place.
Honestly, I’m not worried at all, but for my weak self, joining the princess would be a priority──
“……This…….”
“Yes?…Such a pestilence.”
[Grrr.]
[Seuuu.]
[Keeek!!]
──The devil appears everywhere in the open door.
The magical beasts were made up of various types of wild beasts and each had a different appearance.
A guy with the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle. A snake with deer horns. A spider with eight legs like all kinds of beasts.
The ugly and disgusting demon beasts were staring at us as they forced their bloated bodies through the door.
“Just by looking at him, he looks a lot stronger than that guy from before, doesn’t he?”
“……Hide…….”
“Yep!”
At the same time, the fortune teller, who was probably useless in battle on the other side, quickly went to hide among the furniture.
After looking at the strangely obedient fortune teller for a moment, the warrior Abel Legion grabbed his great sword.
Those demon beasts are all strong.
There are three things that would be considered decent boss monsters if they actually appeared at the gate.
No matter how many fighters you have, it’s natural to run away if you’re alone, and it would be worth it to bring at least 10 skilled fighters for each animal.
Even at a large gate, three of those guys don’t stick together, so this must have been possible in the enemy’s lucid dream.
‘Then.’
It will never be the end with those three.
In fact, behind the three who gave off an overwhelming air, a presence was also felt from another door.
He is clearly a warrior and the strongest among the first-year academy students, but in the end, this is a student-level story.
So.
Of course, we had no choice but to use a foul.
“…I’m going.”
Review the conditions for using job skills.
First, for the good of the world.
Second, it must be a fight to protect someone.
Third, aim your sword only at evil.
Fourth, do not show mercy to your enemies.
Fifth, always act for the good.
…… All conditions met.
Job skill, .
On the outside, nothing changed.
The sword was not engulfed in light or gave off a sacred energy like the frequently used skill .
But.
As I looked at the hero, I was able to realize.
The fact that he exists now is completely different from what he was just now.
‘This…’ …… .’
If you think about it, the job called Is very ambiguous.
, , , , . For other special occupations, you can immediately tell what they do, but for , It is difficult to know its identity.
Now is not the time when the devil who appears only in fantasy is real, and in fact, it feels somewhat strange.
Because it has never appeared historically, the world sometimes considers it to be just a stronger combat profession.
Of course, Namgoong Min, who had also seen the ending in , Knew its identity.
If I were to summarize In one word.
As the name suggests, he is a hero who fights for the world.
“……Come at me…”
[Keuuung!!!]
A demon with the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle attacks.
It was an agile movement unbecoming of its enormous size, as if proving that it was of a different class from the demonic beast from before.
In response, the warrior also raised his great sword.
Cut.
That was the end.
[Big…… Uh……….]
It was an infinitely slower and less powerful sword strike than before.
The demonic beast that roared so intensely was cut in half from head to tail without any resistance.
While the hero was looking down at the mortal beast, a horned snake made a surprise attack from a blind spot──
“I can see it…”
[Saaai!!!]
──The snake’s head rolls on the floor.
The warrior, who was moving slowly as he spoke, swung his sword carelessly, and the snake’s head, which was easily swallowed by one person, was cut off cleanly.
In less than 10 seconds, two powerful demon beasts died.
[Kiiiii…… !]
The last remaining spider stepped back as if he couldn’t believe it.
The hero turned his head and glared at the spider with indifferent eyes.
Pick.
[Keee……….]
When I roughly draw a sword in the air, the spider that was trying to run away is cut in half.
However, even though all three demon beasts lost their breath, other demon beasts came running out from beyond the door.
Their number is dozens, and their strength is much stronger than the three demonic beasts just moments ago.
Like a child throwing a tantrum, an unreasonable act that can only be deceived by a dream.
The warrior stands alone in front of the onrushing demonic beasts.
“……………….”
Just swing the sword.
Even with the weak sword cuts, the powerful demonic beasts were being pulverized as if they were being ground in a blender.
And I am watching it from a special seat.
‘Crazy.’
The hero is strong. That’s for sure.
However, no matter how strong one is, there are limits.
Abel Legion, who wields the skill Freely and has been training his swordsmanship since childhood, is clearly the strongest among the first years.
At best, it’s only on par with Lily Whiterose.
Of course, there is no way such a massacre would be possible with that level of strength.
Even if we bring in Scarlett Redfield, the strongest person in the world, it is impossible.
…… But there are always exceptions.
The warrior’s job skill .
This is a cheat key that Jisoo himself also acknowledged.
‘It was called Exodia.’
Just as you win immediately by collecting 5 specific cards, Is in a similar vein.
If you satisfy five difficult conditions, you can always win against your enemies.
That’s that kind of skill.
‘In the game, it was a cheat key that allowed you to skip the battle while winning.’
The hero who activated Will receive a kind of ‘correction’.
That means ‘always become stronger than the enemy.’
A hero in that state will inevitably become stronger than any enemy.
However, it can only be used in certain events in the game, so I haven’t seen it a few times.
‘Seeing it in person, the performance is clear.’
At this very moment, the number of demonic beasts continues to increase, and they are becoming incredibly strong.
The house disappeared before we knew it, and the demonic beasts that came out here and there in the white-only space were things that existed only in imagination, such as a giant over 20 meters tall, a three-headed dragon, and a heavily armored rhino.
All those ridiculous nonsense are destroyed with a single great sword.
No matter how much you seal the skill, you won’t be able to do anything up to , Which has the world’s backup.
The corpses of the demonic beasts piled up like a mountain, and the corpses rose again, killing them again, and killing all the demonic beasts that came in for a few minutes.
Now…… The demonic beast did not come out.
“……It’s the end…,”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
The surrounding area is full of corpses of demonic beasts.
He was right behind the warrior in case he moved again, so he checked to see if there were any other demons and wordlessly plunged his great sword into the white space.
Just move the knife, tear the space, and look beyond.
“Where are you?”
“…No way….”
What you see beyond the torn space is a gorgeous landscape.
It’s like…… It looked like a palace.

“Instructor Redfield? Now slowly…”
“It’s been a while. It’s time to wake up.”
At the urging of the teaching assistant who checked her watch, Scarlett Redfield stood up.
He yawned while holding his trademark large sword and stood in front of .
“But instructor? If you go inside and wake him up, and even the instructor falls asleep…”
“Hmm? Is this your first time here?”
“Che, this is my first time.”
“Then let’s see. How do I wake him up?”
Redfield, who backed away from the puzzled teaching assistant, stared at the crack in For a moment.
“Right, that’s it?”
Catch Daedo immediately.
Swing.
Kwajijijijijijik!!!
“Wow, wow!?”
Even though the blade of the great sword has not actually reached , A crack appears in the air like a gate.
It was originally a That boasted the size of a high-rise building, but the crack that Redfield created with a single cut was much larger than that.
The gate and cracks met in a cross shape and the overlapping parts began to rotate rapidly, accompanied by an ominous sound.
“This is…?”
“Of course, if I were to go inside the gate and something happened, it would be a disaster. That’s why I’m using a safe method.”
“A safe way… You mean? This, this?”
“I created a crack in space and forced the gate to explode. Normally, if I had done something like this, all the monsters inside the gate would have jumped out and been annihilated, but as you know, in a dream…”
“…There are no monsters.”
“Then there is only one thing the gate will spit out.”
──Only the students who entered the gate.
It’s almost like being forced out, so you’ll probably vomit from motion sickness right after you come out, but it doesn’t cause any harm to your body.
“Wow.”
“Uwaeeek…….”
In fact, Rio and Rain, who had jumped out like that, were fine, just helplessly throwing up into the sea.
Redfield, who was smiling as he looked at the girls drooping helplessly, looked back at the assistant, as if the pride of being a super-rich and super-powered person couldn’t overcome the motion sickness.
“Now all we have to do is the hero, the princess, and the fortune teller?”
“Ah, yes. That’s right. Is there a time difference between when it originally came out?”
“Actually, there are almost none. Since the super-rich and super-powers came out at the same time, it’s about time they came out…”

However.
Even as time passed and the cracks caused by Redfield gradually healed, nothing came out of the gate.
He frowned at the unusual phenomenon he had never experienced before.
“……Instructor?”
“…Oh my.”
Redfield, who understood the seriousness of the situation, grabbed the sword again.
Thank goodness, someone jumped out of the gate.
Redfield rushed over and helped him.
“……Sigh…….”
“Are you a hero? Didn’t you see the fortune teller and the princess!?”
“……Namgoong Min…….”
“What?”
“Namgoong Min……danger…….”
“……The princess……runaway…….”
