Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 69



Only Noblemtl

069

The experiences of the past few days are precisely what makes Jinseong still think.

The first one is the contaminated Skasa card.

And the Clipa I met right after I obtained that card.

The space of Epic Road: Dimensional Invasion, which was suddenly moved during a conversation with Clippa.

Lastly, before being transferred to the Magician’s Guild, we meet the boss of Epic Lord: Dimensional Invasion, but not the boss of the past ‘Rift of the Other World’ dungeon and the so-called king of the Cosmo Fiend race.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t figure out what happened.’

It’s not that there is no suspicion.

How long has it been since I lived in Arad?

If we think about all of this together, it is surprising that Jinseong is also in a situation where he can draw rough conclusions.

‘First of all, it wasn’t Nemer. It wasn’t Nemer. I couldn’t even hear his voice… … . There was no need or reason to approach me like that. Was it Clipart? Most likely not. Clipart isn’t stupid enough to send me flying somewhere without saying anything. It was Clipart who called me in the first place to give me a warning.’

This is not Nemer, who has reincarnated himself into the game Dungeon & Fighter.

There is no Cliffail Lee, whom we met right after checking the contamination card of Skasa.

then……?

‘?’

But Jinseong was already shaking his head.

‘But if he was the , why would he have gone to such trouble? If he had a power so strong that he could move me from the space where he was with the Time Lords… … There would be no reason to even send him to a place like the Epic Road.’

Although I was a bit confused, I eventually leveled up in an instant through Epic Road: Dimensional Invasion.

It wasn’t particularly life-threatening.

In other words, it is a result that does not cause any harm to Jinseong himself other than cutting off communication with Clippa.

‘There’s no way the could have helped me while I was correcting the pollution.’

In that case, we should consider it not to be the .

As his thoughts reached that point, Jinseong’s head became complicated.

‘At that point, I was concerned again. The one I met right before being transferred to the Magician’s Guild was definitely the King of Cosmo Find.’

Could it be that the King of Cosmo Find summoned the True Race to kill their own kind and level up?

Also, if they had called them out, why did they let Jinseong kill his own kind for hours instead of talking to him right away?

If not, could the King of Cosmo Find be the ?

Jinseong could confidently say no to all of those answers.

‘If it weren’t for the Space Treaty Master Gaunis… … Yes, Gaunis is the king of the Cosmo Find race, but he can’t be said to be the strongest. There is a cosmic being behind the invasion of this planet in the Cosmo Find.’

A being that can fight against the mighty forces of the universe, subdue them, and even conquer the planets they live on, then use that planet’s power as its own.

There is a final boss-level being called ‘Rozen’ in Cosmo Find, who can be considered a cosmic life form that can shrink planets and make them orbit around itself.

Gaunis, the space explorer.

Cosmo Find’s cosmic being, Rosen.

If these two beings truly reveal their original power, they may be able to produce results that would make them convincing as the .

Currently, Arad may be able to exert its influence over a larger area than that of most of the apostles in the Demon World.

‘But… … No. That’s fundamentally wrong. It’s true that Cosmo Find is strong, and it’s true that he’s trying to cross the dimensional rift or create a crack to subdue Arad. But!’

Cosmo Find cannot be the .

It was a natural rebuttal, knowing the background setting of the game Dungeon & Fighter.

‘Because they’re not a race that would use such tricks. Cosmo Finds are all governed by power. There is no justice, no injustice, no good, no evil. The winning team is the best, winning is good, and after winning, they shout that they are justice. Those guys… … and all, they use such schemes to ruin Arad?’

That can’t be true.

If we look at it in light of the true self that was possessed by Arad, rather than just existing as a background setting for the game.

If the Cosmo Find race actually exists in this universe.

They are unlikely to overturn or change the very foundation of their actions, the motives that can be called their principles.

‘Besides, the nuance of what the space treaty maker Gaunis said at the end did not feel like he was speaking as the .’

He said that Jinseong himself was carelessly disrupting the order of this space.

He said it could be the seed of a problem.

If you find it difficult to erase your own existence, he said, get help.

‘That is, if you realized that something was wrong and came in a hurry? So you wanted to give me a warning? Advice? in a hurry? … … .’

In the end, shouldn’t we see it as only one possibility?

There is no way that the could have helped Jinseong himself.

Neither could the Space Treaty Master Gaunis, the King of Cosmo Find.

After eliminating all possible objects by the method of elimination, what remains is the unknown variable x that we have not thought of until now.

‘Third party… …Intervention by a third party?’

There might be someone else.

It could even be that an unidentified third party was trying to help Jinseong himself.

‘A third party with power greater than that of a normal apostle… … and yet with power strong enough to transfer me from before Clippa.’

is not even found by Nemer.

From that perspective, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the third party who tried to help Jinseong himself was also at the same level.

‘… … But there are beings with such power! In the world of DnF! Almost none! The only ones left – The only ones left are those outside the plane, in outer space?!’

Did the existence of the outer space help Jinseong himself?

Should we really consider that to be reasonable?

“Ugh….”

Jinseong sighed.

No matter how hard you think, you won’t know the answer.

Jinseong felt a sense of emptiness in the increasingly complicated situation, but he smiled.

‘… … If you want to help me, sir. I don’t know who you are, but if you could help me firmly and passionately, that would be great. Or just send me home.’

At least one thing has been clearly confirmed, [the possibility that there is a third party helping Jinseong himself].

It would be natural to laugh out loud at a self-deprecating joke.

[Kekeke… … I definitely knew from the time I spent with you that you were no ordinary human. It was definitely impressive to see you perform with foresight that couldn’t possibly be foresight. Of course, it must have been surprising to me… … even to the ‘me’ inside the crack.]

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Jinseong tilted his head at Heukgu’s new words.

Wasn’t it Heukgu who had all kinds of rare experiences while hanging out with Jinseong recently?

Above all, Heukgu knows that Jinseong himself spoke without being flustered when he was trying to persuade Karkas, when he was having a conversation to get Skasa immersed in the , when he faced Clipper, and in the space of Epic Road: Dimensional Invasion.

‘Now that I think about it, you must have been curious. But you didn’t ask me a single question, you punk.’

What is your identity? How could you do such a thing?

How can you speak as if you know what will happen in the future, and what do you mean by things that do not exist or have not happened, etc…?

Heukgu didn’t ask.

‘Well, I’m just calling him a black worm. The ego is ultimately separated from Direji… … Maybe it’s because any intelligence or intuition is of the apostle level.’

Jinseong tilted his head for a moment at that point, but that wasn’t the reason why Heukgu didn’t make a fuss at Jinseong.

[Kukuk… … It’s not that surprising to me, having experienced everything since the original planet. But… … How long will I be here?]

“hmm?”

A laughter exactly like Deregi’s spread through Jinseong’s head again.

[There’s still a lot to do to mess with Hilda’s plans… … to give that girl a good blow.]

A voice with a deep tone.

As if urging or pressing for sincerity.

“ah.”

Or maybe it’s trying to awaken the true nature.

Jinseong felt his mind clearing up a little as he listened to Heukgu’s words.

What if you’ve been through a lot and can’t come to a conclusion?

It means there is a lack of information.

And no matter how much you organize your thoughts in your head when there is a lack of information, there is no way you will get an answer.

“That’s right. Hehe, for now… right now isn’t the time for that, right?”

So what we need to do is not sit here and do nothing, we need to get moving.

If you want to carry out the requested by Nemer, you must also disrupt Hilda’s plan!

“Mr. Jinseong! Thank goodness you’re still here.”

Suddenly, the door opened and Sharan came in.

Jinseong was momentarily surprised when he saw Sharan come in without knocking, but soon he could understand the reason for her actions.

“I just finished talking to the person from Heaven, and I think it’s certain. Everything he says is out of the ordinary, and although Magata is broken, the way he operates is completely different from how Kagon operates-.”

She had come to hear Jinseong’s opinion, as she had already done some verification on the one from heaven.

“Huh? Hey, wait a minute! Why are you suddenly coming in and talking so carelessly?”

This was the beginning of a full-scale exchange between Arad and the Celestial World, so as the leader of the Magician’s Guild, he was so excited that he forgot even basic manners!

Jinseong tried to calm her down for a moment, but Sharan did not stop.

Above all, why did Sharan, who was so excited, come to Jinseong’s office first?

Also, why did you start getting straight to the point?

“-But Mr. Jinseong, you understand, right?”

Because I have confidence in Jinseong’s abilities and knowledge as well as trust in him.

Jinseong looked at Sharan, who seemed to expect him to understand as if it was so obvious, and smiled.

“Why do these people trust me so much? Strictly speaking, neither of them are human… ”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

[Click click… … I don’t trust you.]

However, Jinseong himself has many worries, concerns, and concerns about the uncertainties of the future.

If you receive so much faith in yourself that isn’t faith, and so much encouragement that isn’t encouragement, from those around you, then you can’t just sit still, can you?

Jinseong cleared his throat and spoke to Sharan.

“No, no, nothing. Ahem, anyway, Magata is broken and needs repairs… and right now, the Duchy can’t just focus on the Celestial side, right?”

“That’s right. So, Your Majesty-.”

“I suppose you asked the adventurer to go to Storm Pass and look into the Bantu issue?”

“That…is that so?”

Sharan’s large eyes grew even wider as she watched Jinseong talking fluently about what had happened so far as if he had been there with her.

Jinseong looked at Sharan like that and smiled.

“So, I think that in the meantime, Sharan-nim, you may need to do some additional research.”

“Research? What research?”

“It’s Bakal’s magic circle. Haven’t you heard anything from the person from heaven yet? Even if communication begins, how can you break through Bakal’s magic circle? Coming here from heaven, you lose all of Magata’s power sources – in fact, you arrived in a state close to a crash.”

Jinseong spoke to Sharan, who was tilting her head.

Sharan’s eyes widened when she heard that story.

“… … Ah. That’s right. The fall was possible by natural laws, but when going up, you have to destroy Bakal’s magic circle. No, if by any chance you fail to do that… … ”

“Boom! We lose our power source and are literally in free fall. Everyone who boarded to be the first to go to Heaven is finished.”

“Hey, why are you having such a fun time talking about such a serious topic?”

As she was organizing her thoughts as if she hadn’t thought about that far ahead, Jinseong even played a sound effect and told her what would happen if something happened.

Sharan seemed embarrassed and wrote down various things in her notebook before speaking to Jinseong.

“Ahem, anyway… … As expected, I need to talk to Mr. Jinseong to sort things out. No matter how out of it I was, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that… … Thank you, Mr. Jinseong.”

“No problem.”

I’ve been through this many times, but even as a genuine person, I have to say that it’s a bit of a funny situation.

In the game Dungeon & Fighter, Sharan has often played the role of a problem solver, especially up until the present time, near the beginning.

There were also many cases where they would suddenly appear out of nowhere and give instructions on how to solve the problem.

‘I didn’t really care when I was playing the game. But when I think about it… … .’

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Jinseong.

As I looked at Sharan’s seriously contemplating face, my doubts grew stronger.

‘No, no, wait a minute. Huh? Really? This isn’t something to laugh off, is it?’

How could Sharan do such a thing?

As the leader of the Mages’ Guild, he is said to have great intellectual ability, but how was he able to give such appropriate opinions at such a time?

‘……me?’

The true existence of oneself?

Maybe that’s what it felt like?
