Episode 116
connection point(2)
Lee Dong-hoon’s attack is usually divided into two stages.
The first step is the [regression] stage of Lee Dong-hoon, who deceives himself.
There is no problem with this one. Hypnosis by false suggestion has weak binding power and there is a gap somewhere.
The real problem was the space itself.
Even if it is an illusion created by his imagination, it is clear that there is a limit to maintaining senses through self-suggestion.
It was because he was literally resisting supernatural powers with pure talent.
The self-suggestion that preserves the five senses is already tattered by the fantasies of Lee Dong-hun, who constantly tries to devour me, and is on the verge of unraveling, and I don’t know how long his world will last.
Then what should I do?
A declaration of surrender here? It’s nonsense.
Leaving aside lust and promises, right now, three days from now, he will be sinking somewhere at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Since we came all the way here, we can’t avoid ending up with him.
My conclusion is… … .
“… … I regret.”
I hear Lee Dong-hun’s voice coming from the end of the dark hallway.
A slimy lament that stretches.
It was a muttering that sounded like he was blaming himself.
“Not knowing information about the enemy.”
Raising the guy’s anger is the first step.
* * *
Everyone has something hidden deep in their heart that they do not want to reveal.
it could be a memory
It could be an emotion.
Or it could be a wish.
At the end of the hallway, Lee Dong-hoon, who is stuck in the wall, stands up from the pile of concrete.
What he does not want to bring out is memory.
Because the day his family was destroyed was the day everything about him disappeared.
But that night. I had a dream where my daily life went on without incident.
It was such a sweet dream that I never wanted to wake up for the rest of my life, but I realized that it was just a delusion and nothing had changed until I woke up in the morning.
After regretting it, I awakened my ability.
The nature of his ability was determined in that moment.
After the accident, he always lived with ‘regret’.
I hated my ‘past self’ who told my parents to go out to play.
I hate it enough to want to kill it.
I blamed myself a lot for why.
‘I want to go back.’
impossible.
Because the ability he awakened was hypnosis that played with the five senses, not [regression].
It shines more because you can’t have it.
I want it like crazy because I can’t reach it.
That’s why he used his ability to postpone [Return].
I dug deeper because I couldn’t have it.
It even reached the point of deceiving oneself in order to postpone a more perfect regression.
The order was thus completed.
‘I [regress].’
It was a short sentence of only 6 letters, but it contained Lee Dong-hoon’s earnestness.
For the past few decades, I have lived only looking at regression.
So it’s gotten to the point where people attach nicknames to it.
‘A dreamer who wants to return.’
Donghun himself knew it well.
He is only a mere hypnotist, and regression is impossible.
That’s why I hate reality.
I can not admit it.
But his essence is ‘regret’.
The moment I added the word regret without regress was so terrible.
It felt like admitting that I couldn’t return.
but.
I aim the sword in my hand at the golden sun.
I couldn’t listen to that vulgar blonde tanned bully anymore, so I took a deep breath and spit out the language I had hidden.
“… … I regret.”
The mood changes.
The gloomy air that suddenly became heavy pressed down on his son-in-law.
It’s really not something I hate to say.
However, no matter how he felt, he felt the barrier that dominated the area change.
The moment he spits out the real thing, not the fake, the gap disappears and his hypnotic skills become solid.
You can see the distortion around the golden sun that clumsily refused to interfere is being broken.
Are you out of your mind?
The Distortion that protected him was broken, but Golden Sun’s smile deepened even more.
At this moment, I felt that the golden sun had completely entered Donghun Lee’s dream.
That’s why I mutter what I need the most right now.
“I didn’t know the enemy’s information.”
-Name: Golden Sun.
-Gender: Male.
-Age: 17 (???).
– Affiliation: Academy 1st year.
-… … .
His information starts to pile up in his head one by one.
The real counterattack starts now.
Playing with opponents based on forcibly extracted information was one of the methods of attack he was most confident in.
The question mark next to my age bothered me, but it wasn’t important information right now, so I skipped it.
-Main Weapon: Sword.
-Level: Expert [Adept].
I narrowed my eyes to the fact that the swordsmanship level was already an expert.
I saw him draw a sword skill casually, but at the age of only 17, he reached the level of an expert. It’s a monstrous growth rate.
However, even geniuses have limitations because they have not yet experienced enough years.
So, stop raising the level on this side.
I kept scrolling down to see if there was any other information, but I came across an intrusive phrase.
– Ainhwa.
I felt it the moment I saw the words.
this is the guy
That this guy is a gluttonous minion who has been infesting the neighborhood lately.
At the unexpected harvest, Lee Dong-hun narrows his eyes and fixes his sword.
At the same time, he paused.
“why? Did you find anything? Searching that far I recognized you from the time you were hiding, but you’re too cautious.”
if.
then.
If you search through his information, wouldn’t it be possible to get information about his missing brother?
I hurriedly started searching for the omitted characters and soon found them.
-… … Assassinate the executor dispatched from the Holy Apocalypse during a teamfight competition.
blood cools down
I was expecting something bad to happen. However, when I accept it as ‘reality’, my mind shakes.
-Dr.
the building.
the world.
Lee Dong-hoon’s dream begins to shake.
“Oh, you must have found something pretty good? chamberlain… … .”
Looking up, I could see the golden sun’s face again under the moonlight.
It was a fishy smile that had been on for a while, but at first I thought it was a provocation.
“… … Is it about your brother?”
But that was a laugh.
There are no lies in information.
Lee Dong-hoon, the caster of the barrier, knows that best. still… … .
“… … Yes, how do you know that?!”
“How long, how long?”
The guy’s sword shines toxic coolly.
“It is as you see it.”
“Geumtae aaa—!”
After concentrating the mana of the whole body on his legs, he jumped forward.
It only takes one moment from the end of the corridor to the central hall.
As soon as he got out of the darkness, he swung his sword towards the golden sun.
“You bastard-!”
“It’s not my taste for a man to run.”
Looking at the lightly blocked golden sun, Lee Dong-hoon threw his sword in succession.
However, he couldn’t reach it, so he shouted as if he was screaming.
It boils hot as if your brain is about to melt.
“[will regret!”
“… … .”
“For failing to slow down the time of the golden sun!”
“Is that really how it comes out?”
“I really regret not killing you! You should have died right away!”
For an instant, the movement of the golden sun slows down.
Watching the slow movement of the golden sun, Lee Dong-hoon swung his sword toward his neck.
– Sseukeok.
neck cuts instantly
blood splashes
Because of the heart that was beating furiously, the fountain of blood that seemed to reach the ceiling peaked and then scattered in all directions.
“Heh, heh… … . You bastard-!”
Donghun Lee, who had been breathing heavily, spits out the dried saliva in his mouth onto the floor.
Golden Sun’s body fell backwards, and the world was enveloped in silence for a moment.
“under… … .”
Lee Dong-hoon, who made a rough movement at once to clear his frantic beating heart, grabbed his head.
When your head starts to cool, you get a headache.
With a much clearer mind, in case there was anything else, I started reading the information about Taeyang Geum.
As for the profile part, there is a part that catches the eye especially when you try to pass it over as an eye-opener.
-Age: 17 (???).
Humans, of course, have only one age.
The humans he had seen so far were like that.
I’ve fought with opponents of other races, but their ages haven’t been hidden like this.
First time seeing this case.
-caution: ??????????
Even the warning at the bottom is questionable.
It is full of dubious things.
‘?’ The information, which had been less readable due to the markings and blanks, was damaged to the point of being unrecognizable towards the end.
“… … golden sun. What the hell are you?”
The moment I muttered alone, swallowing my silence.
“Well, why should I tell you that?”
A voice that shouldn’t be heard is heard from behind.
I tried to turn my head, but the area around my neck stiffened and I couldn’t turn.
Reluctantly, I turn around and look at him.
The bloodstains and severed neck were nowhere to be found, and the distant Golden Sun was laughing at Lee Dong-hun.
“… … Did you survive that?”
“Isn’t that obvious? It’s just a ‘dream’. Doesn’t a person die just because their throats are cut in a dream?”
“… … .”
“You really believe that this half world is ‘reality’? Aren’t you talking in your sleep because you’re so absorbed in your dreams?”
“no. It can’t be! The world I created was perfect!”
“So it’s no use if you already know?”
I felt a sense of incongruity from Taeyang.
A normal human being can’t do that.
A sense of alienation felt from him as he lightly dug his ears, and fear crept through his whole body.
“I don’t think ‘this world’ is real.”
He truly believes that this ‘world’ is not ‘reality’.
The nausea rose in intensity.
I’ve seen such behavioral patterns in several papers, but I couldn’t easily bring them out in words out of fear.
My gaze wavered and I looked down and saw that my limbs were trembling subtly.
“… … why. Geumtaeyang, what is your true identity?”
“Identity… … , Stasis.”
Golden Taeyang, who had been wiggling his index finger at the man who barely managed to squeeze it out, laughed while tearing up the corner of his mouth.
“Wouldn’t you already know that? You studied hard.”
“… … Nonsense, that is impossible.”
“How do you determine that? How much do you know?”
Donghun Lee, who had been swallowing saliva at Taeyang’s words, opened his mouth.
“How much do you know?”
I spit out the words, but they overlap with Taeyang’s voice.
Lee Dong-hoon’s face hardened in shock, and Taeyang Geum smiled and continued.
“It [regresses].”
Lee Dong-hoon’s expression was distorted with despair.
* * *
Donghun Lee will be furious at first.
However, the moment comes when the anger subsides and you can make a cool decision.
brother’s enemy.
walk around openly
The anger that should follow later has already been exhausted in front.
You will feel exhausted first.
After the feeling of helplessness passes, you will feel helpless because you have endured your own strength, and that soggy feeling leads to a sense of defeat.
“It [regresses].”
If that happens, I, Kim Taeyang’s words… … .
-Lee Dong-hoon [The dreamer who wants to return] feels defeated.
… … In this world, it becomes a reality.
