107 – In Cheonrihyang Village – 5
“I definitely saw him dead. What happened.”
The fact that he looked like he had come back alive from the flames gave us a rough idea of what had happened to him, but the fact that his skull was shattered and still intact was quite curious.
Did you give your soul to the necromancer?
It certainly seems like he has become undead.
No, judging from the way the hole was slowly being filled, it didn’t seem like he was simply turning into an undead.
‘Sseu-eup.’
It would be quite tricky.
Moreover, even Lesha is being held hostage.
‘I was wondering why the Garat Mongma skill wasn’t working, but it turned out that it was stuck in the magic control device.’
Lesha smiled brightly when she saw me, but immediately became tearful.
Seeing Lesha in person for the first time in a long time filled her with joy that did not suit the urgent situation.
Yes, our Lesha was the queen of the succubi.
Choi Do-han made a bitter sneer and shook her neck.
“Tsk tsk, yeah. I was killed by you. “Her throat was cut.”
“You know there was nothing we could do at that time. You were crazy “If I don’t stop it, I’m going to die. Am I just watching?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. “The important thing is now.”
“What do you want from me?”
“Can’t you tell by looking at it? “It’s your life.”
“It’s a line that’s perfect for a villain. “Actually, you suited me better that way.”
Hearing the joking words, he relaxed his strength and stood comfortably.
I had no regrets about confronting him and changing the original story.
Because it was something that would happen, and it was a fateful story that had no choice but to happen.
But if I go back to that time, I might be able to treat him a little more kindly.
It’s not a very pleasant thing to face someone who has been ruined by me.
Of course, it is only the result of each person’s choice.
“Tsk tsk tsk. Pup. “Are you not hiding your identity and deceiving me?”
“Deception? “I don’t think that’s a word you should use.”
“Shut up-!! “You f*cking bastard!!”
“….”
At first, he was a character who faithfully followed the ‘cold-blooded handsome man’ setting, but the sight of him swearing and spitting was definitely closer to that of a villain.
I felt a sigh of relief when I saw that, but I had no intention of looking at it or accepting it.
I would even jump into the fire of hell to protect Lesha.
“hehehehe, you bastard. I’m sure I asked. “Am I the only one at the academy who knows about the bastards?”
I remember.
At that time, I pretended not to know by casting ‘what the heck’.
“That’s right.”
“I should have noticed then. “I mean, he was a possessor like me.”
“….”
Did he reincarnate and master the truth of the world?
I don’t know how they figured it out, but it seemed impossible to stop pretending now.
Although it is in front of Lesha, we have come too far to cover up the truth any longer.
That’s why.
“That’s right. “You are the possessor of a novel, looking at the novel you have possessed from a third-person perspective.”
This was stated without any addition or subtraction.
I decided to explain everything to Lesha later.
It may not be easy, but it was something we could no longer ignore just because it was difficult.
No, it was rather late.
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have told Lesha at least.
I regretted it, but now was not the time to be caught up in the past.
“Tsk, you’re finally confessing now.”
“But know one thing. I didn’t know it would be like this, and I didn’t want it to be like this either. I was just struggling as a sick extra. “The result is what made it what it is now.”
“Shut up. Cheeky bastard. “You’re so loud about the topic of stealing from others.”
“Strictly speaking, I took a hidden piece that even you couldn’t have eaten. “You don’t know, but in the novel ‘Hidden Peace Academy’ that I possessed, there was a setting book.”
“I told you to shut up-!! “Stop making lame excuses!!”
This is such an unfair excuse.
The reason Han Tae-jin stopped being a stalker in the original work was to survive, and from then on, he stayed away from the heroines with whom he was strangely intertwined. He also tried not to take away the fact that Hidden Piece appeared in the original work, but he got annoyed by the heroines who kept getting entangled in everything. Isn’t it because we started arguing that it got to this point?
The word
Passed through my mind like rapid fire, but I didn’t say it out loud.
For someone who is obsessed with primal anger and resentment, it would be like listening to a cow.
And well, it was funny to even discuss responsibility now.
The only solution to a relationship headed for catastrophe is the destruction of one party.
However, I needed to know the reason for identifying the identity. If the person who revived him knew my identity, the situation would become quite complicated.
“Then let me ask you one thing. How did you know I was another possessor? “There was no mention of it until he died.”
“You must be curious. “Then wear this first.”
-Tuk.
He threw a pair of handcuffs and shackles at me.
It was a [Magic suppression device], The same as Lesha’s.
“You’d better not even think about rejecting it. If you don’t want to scar the body of this succubus.”
I picked it up and looked at Lesha.
A face that is already on the verge of crying.
Will a noble queen use it because she cries so much?
Seeing Lesha shaking her head, she smiled.
“Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. “Do you trust me?”
Speaking lines like an extra piled up with death flags.
Resha nodded her head with a worried expression.
-Cheolkeukdeok.
-Crash.
He was handcuffed and shackled to his feet.
Magic control that is activated immediately.
It was a device used to restrain prisoners in an awakened prison.
It is a device that blocks magical power permanently just by wearing it, and is literally like poison to an awakened person.
It is stronger than titanium, and since the use of magical power is blocked, it is naturally a device that cannot be destroyed or modified, but the only way to unlock it is by cutting the body or using a key.
Of course, the key was jingling in his hand.
“hahahaha! I never thought it would be this easy to do. It seems that the two of you are quite special.”
“Now, release Lesha. It has nothing to do with our bad relationship.”
“Well, I guess we can release it. “But you won’t see it.”
“What?”
“I’ll let you go after you’re out. How is it. “Aren’t these good conditions?”
“Ha.”
He sighed at the very thoughtful and selfless terms.
But I had neither a way to refuse nor a plan to break through.
For now.
“Now, let’s put an end to this f*cking evil. Ah, come to think of it, I didn’t tell you why I found out your identity.”
This guy radiates magical power.
Even with the restraining device on, the mana could be felt.
It is magical power that makes you feel the stench of a corpse and the unpleasant feeling of sticky black filth covering your entire body.
“Tsk tsk tsk. I’ll tell you. Knowing your true identity is one of the perks gained by giving up returning to the real world. “An immortal body and a horse.”
“…… What?”
I had to believe my ears.
In other words, in order to get revenge on me, he gave up returning and became a ghost… ?
No, if the return route is to be opened by dying, shouldn’t it have already been opened 52 times?
‘Or is it a route that arose when one was eliminated as the main agent of the mission?’
It is a valid hypothesis.
As the subject of the mission, he failed to fulfill his mission, so the route was endlessly repeated until success, but in this episode, Ersia’s choice changed and the return route was opened.
Perhaps the original return route was [Completion] Of the mission, but the return route that was not opened due to failure to achieve it was opened through [Death] After being eliminated from Juchein.
But he gave up on returning, and was able to obtain information and an immortal body through a being who possessed him, or perhaps even me.
I don’t know why that being made that decision, but usually such high-dimensional beings have [Nasty hobbies], As I mentioned earlier, so it’s probably for the same reason.
Anyway.
“This is really crazy. You gave up on returning just to get revenge? And with the body of such a monster?”
“Only? I risked everything for revenge. “You took everything from me, now it’s your turn to take everything from me.”
“Ha.”
I burst out laughing at the absurdity.
Even though life in the real world is miserable, how could you give up on returning and become a vengeful ghost?
I feel it again.
‘…… Is this the main character?’
No.
It’s something I’ve always felt, but I think I know for sure today.
The reason why salvation failed in the 52nd episode.
“… “It was because a guy who shouldn’t have been the main character became the main character.”
And [Hidden Peace Academy] Was clearly a runaway locomotive headed for a ruinous ending.
“What?”
“Why on earth did Eternity choose you as the subject of the mission?”
If you think about it, does an organization called Eternity create the universe?
We are mere soldiers on a chessboard prepared for their entertainment, and perhaps we are engaging in nonsense like this to suit their tastes.
Could it be that they are giving their soldiers the illusion of returning to a world that does not exist, feeding them snacks as part of their mission, and watching them fight fiercely against each other?
Suddenly, such a pointless and radical idea occurred to me, but it was too absurd to be embraced by human understanding, so I roughly wrote it off.
And.
I quickly approached him.
“Who is the subject of the mission? Eternity? What do you mean? “That doesn’t appear in the original setting.”
“Unfortunately, you know.”
“What?”
“23Rd, 32nd, 46th. “I heard it three times.”
“… What bullsh*t.”
“This is the episode where Ercia, the Apostle of Eternity, revealed my mission to you.”
“… What?”
The guy’s face is distorted.
It seems like he feels it instinctively.
My story is not just a joke.
“And the 53rd time. It’s this round.”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
The guy’s voice starts to tremble slightly.
The truth is sometimes harsh and must be covered up.
And, once it is revealed, it cannot be covered again without knowing the end of the harshness.
“You, who were once the main character, failed to save this world 52 times.”
“What… ? Dog, stop talking bullsh*t!! There was no such setting-!!”
A raging voice.
Breathing goes through irregular transitions, and red pupils dilate.
Agitation will soon spread into confusion, and confusion will soon lead to paralysis.
I took a step closer to him.
“Sooah Yoo. I am the Apostle of Eternity who has been returning 53 times in an attempt to somehow correct the failures you have experienced 52 times. Her real name is Ercia. “A savior who has devoted eons to people like you.”
“… Everyone, shut up!! Yoo Su-ah is just a cadet!! I think she would be deceived by such a wicked trick… !”
“Sandbag.”
“… !!”
The guy froze in shock.
[Sandbag] Was the nickname in high school for the guy who came out of the setting book.
The reason was the same as the purpose of the sandbag.
“Stop it now. I have no intention of criticizing you or blaming you. Free Lesha and go back. Then I’ll pretend it never happened. I’m serious.”
“….”
The guy’s expression hardened.
An expression close to nothingness whose true meaning is unknown.
From noble mtl dot com
It seemed to contain a sense of futility and desolation, but I had to tense my muscles because the guy suddenly started laughing.
The end of ups and downs expressed by those who face the harsh truth is ‘sincerity.’
And the words of a lost person are usually not good.
“hahahaha-!! What? Something that never happened? “Do you really think that what happened to us could never happen?”
“There is nothing that cannot be done.”
“No. We have already crossed the irreversible river. “Whether it is Eternity, the 53rd, or the subject of the mission, it has no use or meaning anymore.”
“… “Are you really going to go to the end?”
“You didn’t know? That we are already at the end. But after hearing the story, my thoughts changed a bit.”
“… What?”
Instead of the slightest anticipation, I was prepared to rush in at any time.
The heterogeneous black haze hinted at an ominous future.
The guy is giggling.
Confusion disappears and madness fills those red pupils.
“Ah, you really are unlucky. So I changed my mind. “It would be too merciful to just kill them.”
-Sereung.
In an instant, his right hand turned into a huge, ferocious sword, and I quickly pressed the button on the small device he was holding in his right hand.
It was a [Device that suppressed] The [Magic suppression device] Specially produced by the inventor, Dr. Yura Han.
– Click.
-Kwasik!
Immediately they broke the handcuffs and shackles and rushed towards the guy.
Towards the great sword of the guy trying to cut off Lesha’s head.
Yes.
Let us now bring this terrible evil to a complete conclusion, a catastrophe that has nowhere to go.
-Kaang!
