Chapter 176
Chapter 176 - An irresistible fate (1)
Silence passed.
silence?
Can we call this static?
The ground cracked and the torn ground rose upward.
But no sound is heard.
As if the sound was cut into the space.
As if the sound is gone.
no sound comes out
I don't understand.
The color of the sky has changed.
The dark London sky.
White cracks like spider webs were engraved there.
It looked as if it would shatter and crumble if touched, like a window that would soon break.
The outline of the world collapses.
The entire landscape shimmers like a haze.
space and time.
The space-time that makes up the world collapses.
An unknown chaos raged there.
Everything that exists collapses.
All things
were collapsing.
And in the time and space where everything collapses.
[This can't be like this...!]
Beserk was struggling in the collapsing space-time.
I couldn't escape.
Beserk drew out all his mana and resisted the force.
But I couldn't escape.
It just gets caught up and collapses.
Nothing has meaning in front of this force.
death.
Only one concept came to Beserk's mind.
[This is...!]
No. It goes beyond the concept of death.
Extinction (消滅).
existence ceases to exist.
[Unbelievable nonsense...!]
Beserk desperately resisted the raging chaos.
But the more I resisted, the more I was sucked into it.
Would he have been able to resist if he had been able to fully demonstrate his original power?
I don't know.
Not sure.
That's how much this power he couldn't even estimate himself.
The power that exists beyond transcendence. Still
, I could only speculate that
if I had been able to fully draw out my original power, I wouldn't have suffered so vainly.
[I thought I was an existence that hadn't set foot in the realm of transcendence yet...!] I
never imagined that there would be another person in this world who could demonstrate such power.
It was hasty.
I should have taken a little more time and watched.
When plans went wrong and liberation was not complete.
I should have thought that this could be the case.
But it was just after it was already too late.
Now, it was a meaningless assumption and regret.
That's it.
Beserk could intuit his own crumbling existence.
Beserk raised his gaze and looked at Seo-jun, who made him like this.
At first glance, Seo-jun looked quite unstable.
[Did he use power he couldn't handle himself?]
This power was inexplicable.
It seemed that Seo-joon would not be safe either.
Perhaps, like himself, the existence will disappear.
Then, should I be less unfair because I am not destroyed alone?
Beserk let out a laugh involuntarily.
The moment before extinction like that.
[You, you...!]
Beserk saw a familiar being.
and at the same time.
Spaaaaaaaa!
A strange power enveloped Beserk's entire body.
#
This is... This is...
The time and space where everything collapses.
As if chaos had drawn ink lines in the world, it was stretching out.
The space was disappearing in that chaotic ink line.
And the existence of Beserk, swallowed up in that space, was disappearing as well.
Dragon, the strongest creature on earth that reigns over all things.
Among those dragons, the existence that resides at the highest level.
monster of the end.
Dragon Emperor Beserk.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
That Beserk couldn't even resist and was being swallowed up.
People were at a loss for words at that bizarre and transcendent sight.
gaping mouth.
In the meantime, exclamation and astonishment were pouring out.
However, in the collapsing time and space, it just disappeared without making a sound.
Is this really what humans did?
No, is it possible to do something that a human entity can reach?
How much time had passed like that?
I really don't know how much time has passed.
Because the spread transcendental landscape took away even the perception of the passage of time.
Time goes by so unknown.
The collapsed world is gradually starting to find its place.
The faded colors took on the original light of various colors again, and
the blurry and collapsed forms of all things returned to their original form.
space and time.
The collapsed world has returned to its original form.
And in the space-time that came back like that.
Beserk was nowhere to be seen.
“ah...!”
“ah...!”
It was only then that the people's exclamation and astonishment could finally be heard.
finished.
Beserk is gone and no more threats remain.
People's eyes turned to the sky one by one.
The sky I looked up at was clearer and clearer than ever before.
With the disappearance of Beserk, the huge gate that engulfed the sky in London disappeared.
It's really over.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Hot cheers from hundreds of thousands of people burst out.
The Great Monster of the End has fallen.
The monster, thought impossible, collapsed.
“I did it...! I did it...!”
“We live!!!”
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
People's faces were full of hope, joy and all the positive emotions that exist in the world.
In the midst of the hot cheers, Aria shed tears without even realizing it.
“Really...really...!”
I did it.
Arya didn't know how to express the thrill that ran through her body.
Would there be words and concepts to express this feeling right now?
probably doesn't exist
Arya forced herself to calm her excitement.
But I couldn't contain the laughter that kept bursting out of me.
And the benefactor who brought back that smile and the person who achieved all of this.
Arya slowly turned her head.
And it was then.
“Cheukhak...!”
A quick breath erupted from Aria's back.
When I turned my head, Seo-jun was coughing up blood.
And again.
“Khahaha...!”
Seo-joon's body was greatly bent.
Seo-joon barely grabbed hold of the body that was about to collapse.
Even so, he forced himself to stand up, using the spear of Longinus as a support for his body, which was about to fall.
‘body...!'
The blood inside was shaking.
The seething mana spread through the blood vessels throughout the body and was seething.
The pain was indescribably gruesome and terrible.
Type 1: Disruption of all things.
There was a reason why Jecheon Daeseong did not use it.
This is a power that could not be reached at the level of Seo-joon yet.
I don't know when I'll be able to reach it, but not now.
It was impossible to reach at present, so Seo-joon created a form in exchange for existence.
And the full cost.
“Cheukhak...!”
I had to accept it with Seo-jun's presence.
The cost of using unmanageable power was truly terrifying.
This was on a different level from when I first used the Thousand Moon Meteor Spear.
It felt like every single cell that made up Seojun was being denied.
It felt like my very existence was being threatened.
Consciousness is clouded.
The mind flickers and the memory is cut off.
Even supporting the body is difficult.
Legs lose strength.
I can't keep my sanity any longer...!
dump.
With the collapsing new type, Seo-joon's consciousness was cut off.
“Hunter Kim Seo-joon!”
Arya hurriedly approached Seo-jun.
An unknown anxiety creeps up.
Aria knelt down and raised Seo-jun with both hands to check his condition.
Pale complexion and limp body.
I can't even imagine being a living person.
“Ki Kim Seo-joon Hunter!!!”
Seo-joon's heart
was not beating.
#
“No!! No!!!”
Arya screamed out loud.
However, that scream was drowned out by the loud shouts that erupted into the battlefield.
And unlike Aria's scream, Seo-joon didn't think about waking up.
Arya's complexion goes white, and no thoughts come to mind.
He tried to deny the reality in front of him, but what he saw was a pale Seo-joon.
I do not know what should I do.
I don't know anything.
I had to live, but there was nothing I could do for myself.
There's nothing I can do...!
Arya straightened up at the sudden thought.
Then, he tried to bring back as much memory as possible of CPR, which he had been trained in in the royal family.
have to live
must live
Arya repeated the words in her mind as if brainwashing herself.
Due to that obsession, Arya couldn't recall the process of artificial respiration.
I need to make my stopped heart beat again.
Obsessed with this thought, I just repeated my heartbeat over and over again.
I don't know if I've repeated dozens or hundreds of times.
Sweat poured down her body like rain, and Arya's breath became rough as if it would pass at any moment.
However, Seo-jun's once stopped heart did not think of beating again.
“You have to live. I must live...!”
Still, Arya didn't stop.
And just then.
Turbuck.
I felt a sense of popularity somewhere.
[It's meaningless.]
Then a voice came out.
voice?
It wasn't a voice.
It was as if the will had been implanted directly in my brain rather than the voice.
Arya paused for a moment at that foreign feeling.
And in the sight that slowly lifted his head.
There stood an unidentified being wearing a deep hood.
#
The mind seems to be swimming in the water.
I couldn't properly recognize the humming sound in my ears.
in a hazy mind.
Palak.
Suddenly, along with the breeze, a musty yet familiar smell drifted into the tip of my nose.
It smelled somewhere friendly, yet strangely warm.
Perhaps because of that, the spirit of Seo-joon, who was wealthy, began to return little by little...
‘Where did you go through this situation?'
Seojun smiled deep inside.
Do you get hit twice or three times?
Seo-joon expanded his consciousness.
Then Seo-joon's spirit swelled greatly.
Soon, the mind that had been swimming in the water returned at once, and the closed eyes flashed open.
“what...?”
And Seo-joon couldn't hide his embarrassment.
flashing vision.
What was visible between them was not Suyeon fluttering about with money.
It wasn't even that there was a bill stuck in his nostril.
It wasn't even London's black sky engulfed by a giant gate.
pure white light.
Seo-joon's field of vision was filled with only pure white white light that made it impossible to see the front.
“what...?”
Seo-joon's mind went blank for a moment.
It was also because the scene in front of him was so out of the blue.
Seo-jun forced his body to move.
However, I couldn't move my body due to the strong resistance.
Although nothing was bound.
His body did not move, as if his whole body was wrapped in a heavy chain.
Only the head was free to move.
Seo-joon left his motionless body alone and contemplated his body for a while.
Then all of a sudden
In Seo-jun's memory, past events flashed like a panorama.
“ah...!”
Is it dead...?
This was my momentary thought.
world collapse.
After all, he couldn't bear the price of the reaction.
In a situation where there was no magic power of Samdanjeon (三丹田), all the recoil was received, so either the body was smashed or the existence collapsed.
There was nothing strange about either of them.
“In the end… is this how it turned out?”
Still, I had no regrets.
Because it was able to save people and team members.
At the end, they confirmed that Beserk had disappeared, so there would be no more threats.
If there's just one thing I'm sorry about.
“I couldn’t get all the money from Aria.”
Debts of team members amounting to 1 trillion.
“I was going to use that money to call the Jecheon Daeseong instructor and feed him a Cheonwol Yuseongchang.”
If it is the Celestial Meteor Spear combined with the spear of Longinus, which is a transcendent equipment, even the Jecheon Daeseong cannot be ignored.
I wanted to see the monkey's face distorted so horribly.
Seo-joon let out a smile.
Come on now what does that mean?
Seojun shook his head.
Then I slowly looked around.
A space where nothing but pure white light exists.
“Something strange about the afterlife…”
It was then.
“Are you the new transcendent?”
A strange voice came from somewhere.
voice?
It felt more like a will than a voice.
Seo-joon was startled by the sudden will, and turned his head away.
However, only pure white light was visible, and nothing that could be called existence was seen anywhere.
『It's strange. Isn't that too bad for a Transcendentalist?”
The unknown will flowed in again.
Seojun expanded Chiron's senses to the maximum.
Even so, I couldn't recognize its existence at all.
There was only one instance of this.
It was none other than the first time I met Jecheon Daesung.
『I am not a transcendental person... But how do you view it?』
“Who... are you?”
Seojun asked the unknown entity.
However, I continued my will alone, as if I was not paying attention to Seo-jun's words.
『Can't you see? How can an existence that is not a transcendental being? ” “What
have you been
saying
all along...”
『You… what kind of relationship do you have with the first transcendent?』
