132 – The Dream Eater (2)
“Okay then, I’ll go now. But… Are you really going to stay here?”
As the Dream Eater’s image in the dream world became increasingly blurred, she turned her head to the girl and asked one last question.
“……”
“Well, okay. If you just want to stay there and watch, that’s okay. “Just look at your friends like that when they all suffer and even when they die.”
Dream Eater, seeing Jihyun in silence, immediately shook her head and clicked her tongue.
“-There’s no way kids can lose to someone like you. Besides, is there any meaning in losing or winning here?”
“Oh my, I helped you and Hyunwoo, but with Malbonsae. “A cheesy b*tch.”
No matter how much she believes, she stays silent even when those dear to her try to fight.
Of course, the purpose is clearly visible. And about half of the time, her judgment is correct.
But still, to make that choice even though her friends who are fighting right now, and the person most precious to her may experience her death.
Why does Hyunwoo really like that b*tch? That’s what I thought.
“Well, that’s right. It doesn’t have any meaning at all, does it? “The moment I act on a whim, is it really the end for you?”
“But there’s no way you’ll lose…!”
No, no. It’s not just about passing on the burden. Those eyes – she truly believes.
Her own friends, and Hyunwoo, who still considers her precious even after seeing her true self, will beat her. She believes so strongly.
“Oh my, I’m playing around with you a little bit so I guess I’m a little easy-“
How dare you go against anyone?
Dream Eater, who momentarily smiled bitterly, narrowed her eyes and glared at her-
“Even so, he is still the second strongest villain in Korea?”
Just like that, she opened her eyes to reality.

The sun still rises majestically above. Below are numerous vines that must be the ceiling of a maze.
And the tower that stands tall in the middle – rose vines and a sky garden spread out on top of the tower.
If you just look at it as a tourist destination, it is a place where you can’t buy even if you pay money, but when you think that this is a fierce battlefield where a bloody fight will soon take place, you can only shed a cold sweat.
And at the back of the garden, a huge rose flower that has already bloomed and-
“…That b*tch. Why did it suddenly increase?”
“No, it hasn’t increased.”
Two women facing heroes and villains.
Injun, who was glaring at them, muttered as if it was strange, but Hyunwoo hardened his expression and gripped his sword tightly as if he was going to crush it.
The one that suddenly sticks out has a somewhat lonely-looking face.
The other side has a maniacal smile on its face.
The women facing each other approached each other with their arms wide open-
“That’s-“
The women held hands like that, and soon a flash of light exploded.
“It means that b*tch is serious.”
Those who had frowned at the sudden flash of light opened their eyes again as the light gradually faded – and froze.
“-Lucid Dream.”
Two pairs of wings spread wide open. The nun’s uniform she was wearing just a moment ago was gone, and the woman was smiling while wearing a dark-black dress.
The smiling woman looked truly kind – but despite this, everyone instinctively took a step back.
It is dangerous. Die. If you deal with ‘that’, you will definitely lose your life.
They felt fear because their heads and bodies were warning them, but they gritted their teeth and took their steps back.
What would be the point of stepping back from here? Anyway, they are in a position where they have to fight and win. If you try to run away, you’ll end up trapped here anyway, worse than dying.
“Ilsum.”
“Invisible Hand, control the regime!”
That’s why we fight to move forward.
The sword body shining in the sunlight reflects like a picture in the air and slashes are fired, and invisible forces come together and rush forward to destroy everything they touch.
“Hmm. “I was going to give in on the first move, but-“
And the Dream Eater that was the target of that attack was-
“Why even call it a concession?”
I just shook her hand once, shook her head in regret, and opened her mouth.
“This is a fleeting illusion. It’s just a mirage.”
Hyunwoo’s slashes that rushed in as if they were going to cut down everything, and Hangyeol’s telekinetic power were clearly passing through her body, but-
“…What?!”
Suddenly, her appearance became blurred and she disappeared, and then she reappeared as if nothing had happened, spreading her wings and rushing through the sky.
“Blood Spear!”
“Overdrive!”
Spears of pouring blood and scorching rays of flame block her path,
“Passion cooling off in the pouring rain.”
At her word, the red windows slowly melt and turn into mere raindrops, extinguishing the burning flame.
“-Don’t let them come near!”
“I already know!”
When she came to her senses again, Eunji and Hyuna’s flames burst out simultaneously, blocking her movements, and tentacles rising from the ground tried to tie her up, but
“This is a twist. “A tiny crack that distorts space and distorts time.”
In an instant, a crack appears in the empty space, and the moment she touches it, her body disappears, disappearing, and appears right above their heads.
“What is this-“
It happens exactly as said. Among those who are perplexed as something absurd, almost like the power of God, unfolds before their eyes, Dream Eater smiles, brandishing the thin rapier in his hand.
She swung a sword exuding a magical aura, and at the end of the sword’s trajectory, Su-a froze in embarrassment-
Kaaang! Kagagak-
“Hmm. “You blocked this?”
“There’s nothing we can’t do.”
Her Hyunwoo blocks her way, and her sword clashes with her sword, causing her sparks to fly.
“Just as you know most things now, I already know your abilities.”
Even though his abilities are powerful enough to astonish others, in the end he is actually a simple person with abilities. Although his level of ability is higher than that of others, his strength and speed are relatively stronger and faster, but that does not mean he cannot be blocked.
“We haven’t reached transcendence yet, so we can endure.”
No matter how omnipotent she may seem, it is clear that she has substance. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to block her sword right away.
“Hmm. Are you conceited that you have reached the same 10,000 blooms?”
“-Everyone, come to your senses and move! Don’t let this b*tch open her mouth! “Don’t give me a chance!”
Hyeonwoo ignores Dream Eater’s muttering and shouts to the others. As he shouts, numerous people activate their abilities at the same time.
Shooting sound waves, rushing telekinesis, blazing flames, surging tentacles, rain of blood.
When everyone overexerts themselves and gets a headache, the brilliant golden light that heals them and surrounds their bodies, and-
“Well, since all the guys here are in full bloom, maybe they should be conceited?”
“At once!”
“Well, you are free to be mistaken – but this is still a bit frustrating. Even if everything reaches 10,000-“
Even Hyunwoo used his abilities as if he was vowing to cut him down just as he grabbed his sword.
If it had been an ordinary villain – or at least a moderately strong villain – it would have been a situation where he would have been scared and planned to run away, planning for later, but unfortunately, the opponent was not of such mediocre skill.
“Even if it’s in full bloom, it’s not all at the same level-“
“-What?!”
She simply ‘cut down’ them by swinging her sword as if imitating Hyunwoo, and she laughed.
“It’s strong, but it’s still not enough.”
Opening, awakening, full bloom, transcendence.
Classification of four levels, called the level of ability.
“The manifestation of latent superpowers is called opening.”
Embers. Water drop. Static. Etc.
The expression of the basics of a person’s latent superpowers is called openness.
“If we call it awakening, it is derived from opening and realizes the true nature of one’s abilities that reflect one’s personality.”
From a small spark to a flame, from mere water droplets to waves, from stinging static electricity to an electric discharge.
If we say that awakening is the realization of the essence of ability that varies depending on the person’s inclination.
“Mangae is something that reflects and strengthens the person’s strong will – how well they utilize their true abilities. In other words, imagination.”
Full bloom is a person’s resolution – to use the enhanced abilities based on awakening to the limit.
Emit flames, or use them with special properties.
Either trap the enemy with waves or wipe them out by flooding them with an overwhelming amount of water.

Manipulate electronic devices that use electricity, or burn your enemies to death.
It is a kind of ‘specialization’ granted based on a person’s character and commitment, and a state where the ability to create based on ‘imagination’ can be utilized to the limit.
And her ability is one of the best abilities that allows her to utilize her imagination to the extreme.
“A seed that overcame rough weather and took root. Sprouting cotyledons and growing vines.”
Numerous vines sprouted from her earth, blooming and covering her and her heavenly garden itself.
“Blooming flowers, a flower garden made up of endless roses.”
Floor, wall, or something else.
The garden becomes a flower garden thanks to the roses that grow continuously and eventually bloom numerous flowers.
It’s beautiful, but there’s no time to look at it, and those who are trapped between it have been created with no time to respond.
“The flower garden in my dreams.”
“-Damage!”
When a light purple mist began to flow out like pollen fluttering from flowers, Hyunwoo shouted-
“Catch it.”
At the same time, the plants touched by the fog opened their mouths and began to move, and Dream Eater laughed among them.
