The Academy’s Time Stop Player chapter 143

A gloomy sight made of red-tinted sky and skulls everywhere.

It’s not a nice scenery to walk in, but Ha-jun was following Pilaten’s words and walking side by side with her.

However, the more I walked, the more I was captured by a strange sensation.

Such a sight must be unpleasant to be normal, but rather, it was making Ha-jun feel accustomed to it.

Ha-jun looked around for a moment in silence and asked Pilaten.

“What is here?”

“It’s an imaginary world.”

“Imagination World?”

At those words, Ha-jun looked at Pilaten with a puzzled face.

As far as Ha-Jun knew, Pilaten’s image world was not like this.

Clear skies and wild green meadows were her image world.

Hajun asked.

“You know that your imaginary world isn’t like this, right?”

At that question, she answered Ha-jun’s question with a soft smile.

“There must have been some misunderstanding.”

“misunderstanding?”

“This is not my imaginary world.”

It was Pilaten who looked at Ha-jun with those words.

she spoke

“It is your imaginary world.”

“… … My imaginary world?”

Hajun’s eyebrows narrowed at those words.

As if answering that question, Pilaten’s words continued.

“It is precisely the image world of the former king Horton. It’s your world now.”

“… … .”

Hearing those words, Ha-Jun remained silent and looked around for a moment.

In that silence, she only explained to Ha-jun.

“You must have a feeling about this place. It will prove that it is your world.”

Certainly, as she said, in such a gloomy place, Ha-jun feels familiar and strangely calm. As if it were his own world, he clearly felt that he was the owner of this place.

However, I felt it with my body, but I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable with my head.

It’s just a difference in values.

“What are these bones?”

Hajun asked.

The floor made of someone’s bones was not a very nice sight.

But at Hajun’s question, Pilaten only shook his head.

she replied

“It is the image world of Horton, the king of the past. The only person who knows the will is the one who created this world. one.”

It was Pilaten who looked at Ha-jun with those words.

She looked at Hajun with a serious expression for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“This is your world. You will soon understand the meaning of this world.”

“… … What is a king?”

Hajun looked at Pilaten and asked with a serious expression.

It’s something I’ve been curious about for a long time.

For some reason she couldn’t answer, but she’ll be fine now.

And at Hajun’s question, she stared blankly at the red sky for a moment before opening her mouth.

“You must have met two kings already.”

“Two kings?”

“Arang that devours souls, the beast king Becardon. Leanon, the king of dragons who remained neutral without interfering with the world.”

Leanon.

Even in the game, the identity of the unexplained unexplained came out of her mouth.

It doesn’t seem like he’s just simply handing over his power to Lane.

Pilaten looked blankly at the red sky for a moment and then moved his gaze to Hajun.

There was some kind of anger on his face.

“There were eight kings with Horton, including them. Of course, five of them betrayed Horton. To the subject who dared to be granted the title of king by Horton, the greatest king.”

Surely she was angry.

In that subdued expression, he could feel the subtle anger on Ha-jun as well.

“The new king.”

Then she called Ha-jun.

At some point, she looked at Hajun again with a respectful expression, and then slowly opened her mouth.

“The man named Sarn whom the king killed this time had the energy of one of the five kings, the ‘King of Humans’.”

Ha-jun’s expression wrinkled at those words.

Because I think you know what she means.

“Are they here?”

“Becardon and Leanon were here, so they must be somewhere in the world.”

“So you want me to find them and kill them?”

But at Hajun’s question, unexpectedly, she only shook her head.

She denied Ha-jun’s words and opened her mouth.

“I am not in a position to make a request. Just letting the new king know. I am, after all, a ‘guide’. So I’m just stating the facts.”

She put on a calm expression on her face.

His gaze was low and his eyes were half-closed calmly.

Her words continued.

“The power of crushing. The moment you use it, they will notice you too.”

“They are coming.”

At that question, Pilaten began to show a light smile.

She smiled as if it was a little pleasant, or as if it was funny to Ha-jun’s answer, and unexpectedly began to shake her head.

“Someone may come. However, the first emotion they will feel is fear.”

“fear?”

At Ha-jun’s question, she reached out to Ha-jun.

Soon after, golden magic from her hand floated in the air like particles.

crushing power.

She opened her mouth, demonstrating her magic in a slightly exasperated voice.

“They will be afraid and despair! The king they thought they had killed in the past has returned. Perhaps they have noticed too. A new ‘breaker’ has appeared that has made them afraid in the past.”

Her voice went low again.

“So don’t worry too much. Even if they come, they will not be a match for the current king. One thing I’m worried about is… … .”

Pilaten looked at Hajun worriedly and continued.

“The power of crushing. I hope that it will not be eroded by this too powerful power.”

“What do you mean by encroachment?”

“The king must have felt it too. Every time I use my power, I can’t control my emotions.”

were you saying that?

Certainly, every time I used this magic power, I got a lot of feeling that I wasn’t myself.

Feeling unable to control your emotions.

It wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad at all.

In any case, the anger only gets bigger, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be controlled.

In other words, I didn’t think it was such a big problem for Ha-jun.

When he was thinking like that, did Pilaten even read Hajun’s mind?

Pilaten looked at Hajun worriedly and continued.

“The king has not yet mastered half the power of shattering.”

“… … Didn’t even cover half of it?”

“Time will solve the flowering of this power.”

That was then.

Cuckoo!

A huge tidal wave of bones hit Ha-jun and Pilaten.

But Pilaten just looked at the scene with a calm expression and spoke softly.

“It looks like the time is running out. It seems that the king has not yet contained the whole world, so he is trying to drive me out.”

Cuckoo Kook!

A huge tidal wave of bones that swept over the surroundings.

There, Hajun faced Pilaten, and Pilaten also looked straight at Hajun and continued.

“My lord, after that I will sleep for a while.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You are not alone in being engulfed by the power of shredding, I may be too, so I will take some time to adjust.”

Hajun narrowed his brow for a moment and looked at her seriously.

However, she only opened her mouth with a smile at Ha-jun’s concern.

“Don’t worry too much, it won’t take long. But before I go to sleep, let me add one thing to the king… … .”

Cuckoo!

When it swayed to the ground, a huge tsunami reached close range.

Even at that moment, she continued to speak, not forgetting the serenity.

“Please do not forget your original self due to the power of crushing.”

A huge tsunami came over Hajun and Pilaten. Before the tidal wave and darkness obscured her vision, she smiled faintly, closed her eyes slowly, and heard her last words.

“I am worried about you.”

With those last words, a tidal wave of bones struck Hajun and Pilaten.

“… … .”

Hajun woke up from reality.

* * *

“Pilaten.”

Ha-jun, who got up from the bed, immediately sang Pilaten while holding Maharaj.

However, her voice was not heard.

I tried shaking Maharaj for a while, but there was no response from her.

As she said, I could infer that she was asleep.

“Twitter- I’ll tell you when it happens.”

I was a little worried, but she said it would happen soon, so I decided to trust her.

Hajun got out of bed.

It was already dark at night, but seeing that the time was 8 pm, it seems that he hadn’t slept very long. As soon as he woke up, Ha-jun went down to the first floor to eat something.

However, I could see Elaine and Rihanna eating something, whether they had already left Hajun alone and ordered delivery. Judging by the smell, it looks like he was eating chicken.

“Wow! It’s so delicious, sister!”

“Is not it? It’s not bad to eat it occasionally. yes?”

“Oh, are you awake? Come here and eat chicken together.”

“Well… … .”

At that, Ha-Jun was worried.

Chicken is also delicious, but right now, I’m frankly hungry for rice.

Of course, that’s not to say I don’t eat it.

Ha-jun went to the table and sat down next to Elaine.

While he was eating the chicken as it is, Rihan started handed something to Hajun.

“Oh right. Did you get a letter from you?”

“post?”

“Uh, USN. He came from a great place.”

USN.

It was an acronym for the International Superhuman Coalition.

But why are you suddenly contacting me there?

In Han Si-young’s episode, there was an episode in which this USN contacted me, but I couldn’t figure out why they contacted me.

“Why are you calling from there?”

“Well. But I didn’t know it would come from there. These are yangbans who won’t even budge about anything.”

As she said, it was called the International Union of Superhumans, but it was a place that did not even budge from terrorism by superhumans.

In other words, an event that could be a threat to mankind.

For example, it is an organization that moves only when the Immortal class dungeon of annihilation explodes.

So, of course, it was inevitable that Ha-jun felt anxious.

Surely something like that doesn’t really happen, is it?

“When did this come?”

“When you are sleeping.”

“It’s only been a few hours.”

“But hey, if you open the mail anyway, it’s like an invitation, isn’t it? Organizations like USN never contact me for personnel matters. Didn’t you contact me because something serious happened?”

Ha-jun immediately opened the mail at Rian’s expectation, and, as Rian said, starting with a pretentious greeting, he said that he had something to say about something important anyway, so he asked him to come to the USN branch. And Ha-jun, seeing the contents of the letter, made an impression.

“It’s annoying… … .”

“Is my prediction correct? And to predict one more thing, wasn’t it called as a replenishment?”

At those words, Ha-jun’s expression began to wrinkle even more.

It was because Rihanna’s prediction was too reasonable if you think about it.

The currently lying sage Choi Joong-won was one of the superhumans belonging to the USN.

So Ha-jun’s judgment was quick.

He said as he put the letter back into the postal envelope.

“Where are you going to burn this?”

Ha-jun just decided to ignore the letter itself.
