Episode 113
relationship(3)
The moment Choi Gyu-ri swung her greatsword at the fake Lee Young-woong.
The real Lee Young-woong was searching the top floor of the same building – the 10th floor.
Cha Seung-hyeok and Lee Gyu-tae were separated by floor and were searching, so he alone was able to reach the 10th floor first.
As a result of wandering around for a while and observing here and there, I was able to get more information than the information that is talked about in the news or newspapers or wandering around the Internet.
chamberlain.
When he searched the wreckage of the collapsed ceiling, if he had used a scroll, he should have come out at least a piece of it due to the nature of magic paper that decays slowly.
In order to break a thick concrete ceiling to the level of explosives on the market, at least drill a hole, insert an explosive into it, and explode it.
However, no explosive remains were found. Did the culprit take care of it? I don’t think there are any traces of backtracking anywhere.
In other words, the culprit did all this with pure physical ability without using any equipment.
“I mean, if you did this level of work with your bare body, you would be at least an expert… … . More than an expert.”
Lee Young-woong, muttering more than an expert, headed to the room of the building owner and victim next.
Now, to inform you that it is the last room, I took out my smartphone and looked at the screen… … .
The sign indicating the withdrawal from the call area blinked on the top of the smartphone.

The moment Choi Gyu-ri’s greatsword was swung, arrogant thoughts passed through Yoo-ra’s head.
It is certain that this guy is not Lee Young-woong.
But even so, can we confirm that the body now does not belong to Lee Young-woong?
What if you’re controlling his body?
If you’re controlling him, how far can you use his abilities?
How to control?
The reason why Lee Yu-ra, when she first ambush the enemy right in front of her eyes, hit her with her fist instead of a sword was because there was no confirmation in that context.
A thought that once started biting its tail continues endlessly.
if.
if.
really.
“sleep… … .”
Before she could finish her words, Choi Gyuri’s greatsword was already slicing through the enemy.
“… … Knock!”
Blood flowed out.
Choi Gyu-ri’s greatsword, imbued with blue magic, left terrible cuts from the enemy’s shoulder to his abdomen.
The spurted blood splashed on Choi Gyu-ri’s face, and her face and upper body were covered in blood in an instant.
“… … uh?”
I stared blankly at the enemy collapsing in front of me.
It was Choi Gyu-ri who was more flustered than Lee Yoo-ra, who gave a desperate cry.
Is it because they allow attacks too easily?
Her eyes widened in an instant, and her gaping mouth didn’t want to close.
“why… … , what is this… … ?”
Choi Gyu-ri, groping her face with both hands, felt a hot, soggy feeling wrapped around her palms.
He quietly lowered his hand and brought his palm in front of his eyes.
dark red
A liquid that looks like a mixture of a few drops of black paint with red paint fills the palm of your hand.
“ah… … .”
‘Chang-gang.’ A metallic sound resembling the sound of breaking glass reverberates through the hallway.
It seemed to represent her spirit.
Her greatsword lay on the cold concrete floor.
Choi Gyuri’s hands started to tremble.
Lee Yoo-ra hurriedly approached her.
“My, my, I… … . I cut people.”
“Relax!”
“no… … . This. me too… … .”
Yoo-ra grabbed the shoulders of Choi Gyu-ri, who was muttering blankly, and shook her hands tightly so that they would break.
It was a normal reaction because she was still only a high school student, no matter how strong her body and special abilities were in her hands compared to normal people due to her awakening.
“Because it’s not your fault. Come to your senses!”
The moment when Lee Yoo-ra, who clenched her lips, raised her right hand high to finally slap Choi Gyu-ri on the cheek.
“Right, you’re not wrong.”
An inaudible voice was heard.
“… … uh?”
Choi Gyu-ri’s pupils, which had been shaking without being able to focus, stopped.
There was Lee Young-woong standing there as if nothing had happened.
Feeling the heaviness in her hands, she lowered her head to find her sword in the shape of a monster sword in her hand.
“Everything, I know. It’s hard to understand what happened. Because I was like that at first too.”
The cabinet that fell with the enemy opening his mouth in front of him, and the desk that had been blown away returned to their original positions.
“… … what is this?”
Even Lee Yu-ra’s position returned to where she was holding the spear for the first time.
Perhaps feeling dizzy from the sudden change in her position, she narrowed her brows and grabbed her head.
Everything on the 3rd floor of the Namjin Building went back to the moment Choi Gyu-ri first encountered the enemy.
As if you turned back time.
In the eyes of the two of them, he caught the appearance of his mouth twisting up again wearing the mask of Lee Young-woong.
He laughed bitterly and put his hand on his waist.
pull the chain
The smartphone was pulled out of the pocket.
After that, the scene where the longsword is pulled out is the same.
“What have you done… … ?”
“Didn’t you just feel it yourself? I have to tell you this for you to understand.”
“What bullshit are you talking about!”
“Was the shock that big just now? You only know how to snort, how can you be so careless?”
Looking at Lee Young-woong’s face, who sighed in regret, Choi Gyu-ri dyed his face red.
“Are you saying you turned back time?”
“Oh, but this one still seems to be spinning a bit. That’s right.”
“… … That is impossible.”
“It’s ridiculous, common sense wouldn’t be able to do that… … .”
Lee Yu-ra frowned as she saw his face as she flicked her index finger left and right.
“How can you say that it is impossible? Looking at it like this right in front of my eyes.”
“… … .”
“There is no such thing as impossible to me.”
Lee Yoo-ra’s expression hardened as she silently grabbed the spear pole.
There is too little information about the enemy.
not enough, not enough
“So, I heard that the thing you just said is called this among kids these days?”
He wanted to think about something for a while while stroking the area around his mouth.
“You mean [regression].”
Choi Gyu-ri’s monster sword, which clenched his teeth and slapped himself on the cheek, turns into a great sword again.
As she stepped forward again, she discovered that the reason was that her hands were shaking.
“I [regress]. Again and again until I win.”
Looking at Choi Gyuri’s wobbly legs, she thought it was the reason.
‘I haven’t recovered from the mental shock yet.’
“You cannot escape from me.”
I have no idea what the enemy’s abilities are.
At first, I thought it was a space-restricting spell, but then I wondered if I could manipulate Lee Young-woong’s body, and this time he said [Regression].
Confusing. However, one thing is certain.
Attacking is useless.
Apparently Gyuri’s attack just split him in half. If even that can be undone… … .
He took off his left hand holding the spear of Eonwoldo and held it with his right hand only.
Pull your right arm back and lean your shoulders and body back to the right.
and.
Throw it towards the enemy with full force!
“You will never… … !”
The body of the eonwoldo is exactly in the vicinity of the heart of the guy who continued talking.
The sword, imbued with magical power, pierced his chest and shattered his heart at once.
Not even that was enough, the sword that had pierced his heart pierced his body and stuck into the wall.
but.
The moment you blink your eyes for a moment.
I [regressed] again.

“Sun. what about this?”
“Wait a minute. I’m thinking about it too.”
I felt the touch of something transparent and watery.
Originally, only the vacant lot remained where the Namjin Building should have been, and our team was unable to enter as it was blocked by an unknown transparent barrier that covered the vacant lot.
To be precise, I was able to get in.
The problem is that other kids can’t get in.
“I will try.”
Kanghyuk’s hand, which stepped forward, cut through the air in vain.
Same goes for Andrew.
No, Chevalier was blocked by an unknown barrier and bounced off, and Kang-hyeok and Andrew couldn’t see or feel anything other than the empty field.
“Are the reactions different depending on the amount of magical power possessed?”
I had no choice but to harden my expression while watching the curtain – the barrier.
I’ve seen this type of barrier before.
A pig with acne with glasses who kidnapped Haneul before.
It’s the same type of barrier he opened.
Of course, the range is much wider than it was then, when it was only a small shop.
It was enough to cover an entire building, so it only hurts to say more.
I had no choice but to grab my bangs and sweep them away as I pondered over the ability of the guy who was currently running around in the building.
Donghun Lee.
The executive officer of the Holy Apocalypse.
This person reached the extreme of hypnotism through barriers.
and… … .
A link that can lead to the main body of the Holy Apocalypse.
‘Hey, Taeyang Kim. What do you think hypnosis is?’
I remembered a conversation I had with a friend of mine.
At that time, I was lying on my bed in my own room, enjoying a comic book for a while, so I frowned and answered roughly.
‘what… … , leaving people lying down and doing useless things. But what kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden? If there’s nothing to do, Divi lay down and go to sleep.’
‘I’m setting up a villain character right now, help me, you crazy man. They say it’s annoying without a soul.’
When I look at my smartphone, I hear a notification sound saying that Lee Yoo-ra is not answering the call and is going to be absent.
“Hey guys… … . I can’t. I’ll go first.”
“… … uh? sun?”
While circulating mana throughout the body, he put his arm first into the barrier of unknown existence.
Even though it’s been quite a while since my arm felt awkward at the soft touch, there was no reaction from inside.
“hey! What are you doing?”
“is it so. sun group. What if I go alone like that?”
I want to go with them, but I am in a hurry.
‘If you think about it carefully, hypnosis is like a dream.’
Following the arm, he carefully inserted his leg into the barrier.
It was only after confirming that the hard floor firmly supported her body that she slanted her body.
‘what… … . Assuming you’re aware, you can do whatever you want in your dreams, right? I think it’s because the principle governs the senses in the brain? I’m thinking about how to put this into the villain. I thought of something, so listen to it and rate it.’
The entire lower body entered the barrier.
The center of the body has already passed.
He smiled and said to the guys who turned their upper body around and looked at them with concern.
“They said I took responsibility, and I’m honestly curious. When he comes later, he will surely take some action from above. If you go then, you won’t be able to see it even if you want to see it? And I mean… … .”
The worried face of Chevalier, who exudes subtle makeup, stares at me.
Anya pushed herself toward the barrier, as if she wanted to go with her, but to no avail.
Andrew licks his lips as if feeling sorry for him, and Kang Hyuk mutters to himself whether he is whispering to Yeriel.
“… … Can I just get past this? I’ll have to sneak in at least once, I can’t stand it.”
‘hmm… … , therefore. For example, do we feel the five senses? If you can manipulate it at will, wouldn’t it be possible to feel that ‘everything is possible in reality, just like in a dream’? Of course, it’s from my own standards, but I think it’ll be balanced if you designate a specific range with something like a barrier.’
‘So you mean the ability to manipulate everything within a certain range regardless of the concept of time and space?’
‘No, it’s the ability to show the illusion of controlling everything. Based on that, we fight by intensively attacking the opponent’s mind and breaking their will… … . how is it?’
My friend looked up at me from under the bed and drank a half-empty, empty Coke.
‘Control your senses… … . Time and space become meaningless within the barrier. Then what do I do with things that were originally there?’
‘Can’t affect it at all. It’s too fraudulent to have that kind of influence.’
I closed the comic book I was reading and turned my gaze to the guy.
‘Then, on the other hand, what would happen if I met a guy who can self-suggest his five senses at will?’
‘Oh, this baby, even if you pretend to be roughly, it pops out. I mean… … .’
I stopped thinking, closed my eyes, and pushed my face into the barrier.
The density is clearly different, and the heavy air rushes into the nose.
I see the 10-story building I saw before.
In the angular shape, large glass is sometimes inserted in place of the outer wall.
“It’s a world that shows dreams… … .”
I quietly pulled out the black sword that was slung around my waist.
A clear sound of metal echoed through the air along with my own words.
“… … Donghun-ah, you can’t live your whole life in a dream just because you hate reality.”
I moved my feet towards the entrance of the building.
At some point, a twisted smile settled on my lips.
