196 – awakening-2
As soon as she kissed my cheek, she disappeared without a trace.
To be precise, it disappeared leaving some mana in my body, but it seemed impossible to deal with it in the current state.
‘What is this?’
I don’t know what it was, but it didn’t look like it was trying to attack me.
Away from my mana, he was only solidifying his influence.
‘Once I clear the gate, won’t I be able to know anything?’
‘You’re right.’
As Hyeonsu said, if you clear the gate, you will awaken, and when you awaken, you will know exactly what this mana can do.
‘Is it possible that she set a trap for me?’
What if she is not the one who is trying to help humanity, but the one who is attacking humanity as an enemy?
‘If I did, I would have driven more important people into a trap, not you.’
‘There’s no important human being who can be fooled as easily as I am.’
I have almost no skills as a main body, but the people around me were incredibly human beings.
How many non-awakened people are in as important a position as me?
‘So you’re not going in? If it was a trap, I shouldn’t have come this far.’
‘That’s true too.’
‘In the first place, the beads disappeared, so I can’t go back. The only way we have to go is inside the gate.’
Still, since Hyeon-soo is with me, I feel somewhat relieved.
It was clear that if I had been alone, I would have thought about it for about five more minutes.
I walked slowly toward the brightly shining gate.
-Wheein!!!
I heard the sound of something spinning furiously and was soon sucked into the gate.
– Dig!
After getting an excessive blow, what I saw in front of me was the appearance of a large group of monsters.
The monsters were sucked into the gate that suddenly appeared at regular intervals, and the frequency of the gate was similar to the frequency of the gate that the younger said.
‘Even the fact that there is a short break after a certain monster appears is the same.’
After the monsters were all empty, the entire floor was moved to lay the floor with new monsters, so additional time was consumed to do so.
Perhaps the break time the younger said occurred like that.
‘It’s like a factory.’
Hyeonsu was right.
This was a factory.
To be specific, it would have been closer to a loading and unloading center rather than a factory, but the orderly transport of numerous monsters reminded me of a factory.
‘whoever…’
Were you able to print so many monsters and send them through the gate?
‘No, before that.’
This one was different from the gates that can be broken normally.
This was a factory, not a gate.
If destroying the entire facility was the condition for clearing the gate, there was nothing to say, but I didn’t know where to start right away.
‘Let’s go straight for now…’
The place where I was was right above where the monsters were transported through the gate. I didn’t know why there was such a structure here, but there was no road outside the front, so I just walked.
‘What do you mean?’
no beads now
I had to work everything out myself.
‘First of all… Since this is also a gate, there must be a boss monster?’
It was such a huge gate.
It was hard to imagine that no one would create and manage such a gate.
‘Then, do other cities have structures like this?’
Even Sol and the Heavenly Demons?
Ask Hwaryeon when he comes later.
It was clear that she would find and clear these gates.
As I walked slowly while thinking about miscellaneous things, a bright light was emitted from the corner.
As I moved to the place where the light came on, a gate that was far less than the gate I had entered, but still shining brightly, appeared in front of my eyes.
“Whoa…”
He raised the tension with a dagger.
You never know what will come out of this place.
Hyeonsu raised mana and I raised my senses.
The moment they realized that each other was ready, they took a step into the gate.
***
what?
I must have put my foot through the gate…
I couldn’t feel anything on my feet.
It felt like my body was floating.
When I opened my eyes, everything was a pure white space.
-Wake up Challenger!
The voice in my ears was like a mechanical sound.
How much do you feel when you think that a machine sound is mixed with a human voice?
Anyway, it was a very loud voice.
-I know you came here to disturb me. According to my personality, I would have to crush you right away, but I have a pact with them, so I will put you to the test! Win the battle with you! get over yourself! If you don’t, you will perish here, and if you defeat yourself, this gate will remain as the spoils of your clearing!
Do you have a pact with them?
‘Is this guy trying to invade us?’
Unlike Ansung, Shaking, and the vampire who guided me to this place, it seems that they are attacking us.
I felt very bad when I thought that the gates that had appeared so far appeared by someone’s intention.
I felt a resentment that was carved from the inside, but I held it in because nothing would change much even if I got angry at the current situation.
‘I’ll get revenge someday.’
-ruler! The first trial, challenger!
The bottom was formed and a being that looked just like me appeared in front of me.
– He is exactly the same as you. If you can’t overcome this, you don’t deserve to go further.
‘It’s noisy.’
-bang!!
It was a blow.
Hyeon-soo gathered mana in his legs and moved forward as if he was shot at once.
The guy couldn’t stand the mana that Hyeonsu decided and erupted, and eventually exploded in one blow.
-Nonsense… He was the exact same guy as you! My body, my skills, my mana, my abilities, I wouldn’t be any different from you…
‘This proves that you and I are different beings.’
Apparently, with his ability, he couldn’t even copy the Hyeonsu inside me.

No matter how much mana you have, you can’t handle it properly without a hyeonsu.
You can only use it in the realm of quickness or reflexes, and you won’t be able to use the dagger properly.
“So, is this the end? It ended too boring for a fight with me?”
-It’s not over yet. You won the battle against your body, but can you fight the wall inside you and win?
After his words, black smoke began to rise.
Each of the black smoke coalesced to create a number of figures, and those figures began to take on a proper appearance…they were familiar to me.
‘Why are they here…’
Hwaryeon, Wolha, Hayeon, Yeonha, and even Sua.
Those whom it was impossible for me to win appeared before my eyes.
-This is the wall inside you. They’re the ones you assumed you’d never be able to surpass, so here’s a great one.
He had such a happy tone that I could picture him grinning and laughing in my head.
– Go beyond your walls. Break the limits created within you. If you don’t, you won’t get out.
He said to go over the wall. His voice was full of arsenic for me.
A voice that assured me I would never wake up knocked me off my nerves.
‘How to beat them…’
Especially Hwaryeon… Hwaryeon was a high place that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t catch up for the rest of my life.
Does it reflect my emotions in real time? I felt like they were getting bigger and bigger.
I got smaller and they got bigger.
I stayed still and ran after them. That was the difference between them and me.
‘If you wake up and run, you can catch up with the kids!’
I heard Hyeon-soo’s cheering, but… Well? Can I catch up with them?
I don’t know if they’re younger, but other kids?
With this kind of mind, the size of the younger brother became embarrassed and smaller.
But the others just kept growing.
‘I’m chewy! Are you saying you have to put your mind to catch up? Seriously, if you put your mind to it, you can clear it right away! I have to go out and see the kids. is not it? I’m already thinking of surpassing Liu Ying, but what are you doing stupidly?’
Yeah… Let’s try.
I can be better than them.
You can outnumber them.

No matter how much I muttered to myself, the children did not get smaller.
-Puhahahahaha! Such self-deception doesn’t work! Only if you truly think so can you leave this place!
It seemed like it would take a very long time to get out of here.
