#Episode 312, What to do now

On a stone floor about 50m in diameter,

A highland with quite a nice view beyond the open stone wall.

The straight line distance from the starting point to the portal to the next floor was several kilometers, and the space, which was the size of a small or medium-sized city, had been transformed into a site of about 5,600 pyeong with no natural or artificial objects.

… It must be the effect of the space expansion magic being broken.

Thanks to this, I think it took me just a few seconds to remember that I had just returned to reality and that I was on the 8th floor of the tower.

If such surrounding information can be figured out on its own without looking around, what immediately caught my eye was Yushin’s face.

The reason I was confused about where I was in the first place was because of his appearance.

“Why are you here… .”

“Mia asked for it.”

“Mia… ?”

Yushin’s answer couldn’t be said to be sufficient, but he remembered Mia’s abilities and quickly nodded.

Still, the fact that he accepted Mia’s request was surprising.

“Anyway… I found it well. … omg!”

They somehow managed to find and penetrate right into the floor I was on – the moment I thought about it, I began to wonder if that was even possible.

“Hey, but how did you get through this… Oh, no, just because the tower is breached, does it mean it will be breached?”

Yushin smiled and opened his mouth.

“That’s what I wanted to ask.”

“what… ? “What do you mean?”

“It’s not me, it’s you who did it.”

“!”

No matter how much I realized my power, it was only at the level of escaping miscellaneous restrictions such as illusions, illusions, and prohibitions.

The tower’s production technology is the sum of the powers of the gods.

Destroying something itself is a completely different story.

“… “I did it?”

“okay. Since you weren’t conscious, you wouldn’t even remember. Even when I saw it in person, it was hard to believe it.”

Yushin spoke calmly, but looked around as if he was once again surprised.

Only then did I follow Yushin’s path and look around.

If there had been no other sign, I would have fallen into a trap to get a clue to the tremendous power or its secret that had manifested without my knowledge.

‘That’s right, classmates!’

Kwon Ha-seon looks at us with a shocked face, with his mace and shield hanging down… .

Perhaps, given her position closest to me, she was protecting others from chaos I can’t remember.

Other safe people were also seen behind Kwon Ha-seon.

Taekwang Park, lying down as if he was seriously injured.

Beomgyun Choi next to him,

Song Yeon-hee is wailing for some reason.

‘… !’

Of course, the person who was supposed to be comforting her was nowhere to be seen.

‘Chayura!’

And one more person.

The reason why I rushed back to the 8th floor… .

‘There is no Kang Seon-ho… !’

As I imagined the sinister things that would have happened while I was unaware of reality, my father’s death came to mind.

“Oops!”

I fell to my knees, clutching my head from a severe headache.

New memories poured in like a flood.

The memories were probably passed down through the magical power you left behind.

‘… ‘Transferring your father’s knowledge?’

It seems that while the consciousness was submerged, it could not be absorbed, but now it is being properly accepted.

It was eons of time, life, knowledge and experiences.

It was painful.

Although the knowledge of transcendent beings had already been transferred several times and the container of consciousness had expanded, it included the senses and emotions of the father who had been a thorny path.

Also, the situation of passing on my father was heartbreaking in itself.

But there was no time to fall into sadness again.

As the headache subsided, I began to see things I didn’t know before.

My eyes widened at one shocking fact.

I immediately got up and looked up at Yushin.

He was waiting for me with an expressionless face, as if he knew that the headache I was experiencing was not a big deal.

“why… From you… .”

I couldn’t bear to say anything out loud.

Because it was so absurd for me to even think like that.

‘Can you feel your mother’s energy?’

No, when I said I felt energy, my mother did not have magical powers.

A more fundamental scent… .

‘… soul.’

When I ran into him in front of my father’s office before, my father told me that Yushin’s soul was an incomplete fragment.

They say we need to find out more… .

And, the thoughts that you didn’t tell me back then were inside me now.

‘Yushin’s soul… , it was one of the fragments of my mother’s old soul.’

It was a hard truth to believe, but if you admit it, there are some parts that fit together.

To put it simply, it can be said that the only fragment of soul left by my mother today is her human heart.

Since it was a being close to a god, each and every fragment of that great transcendental vessel must have traces of something extraordinary… .

If one of them contained indifferent violence and created another personality, it wouldn’t be awkward even if it were Yushin.

Although it may have been simply out of curiosity, the kindness he had shown me so far became easier to understand considering the closeness of our souls.

‘Now that I think about it, I treated Seongyoon pretty well too. under… .’

This means that it was not a coincidence that I saw Mrs. Shin Seon-ae as she was escaping from the world of consciousness.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

Yushin’s words made me shake off my thoughts.

“no. Just sort it out… .”

There is no need to think now.

There’s nothing I can do right now anyway.

In order for my mother to have the possibility of [full awakening], all the soul fragments were needed, but as the saying goes, if it is not ‘all’ fragments, it is meaningless.

“Are you feeling better now?”

However, it became a little uncomfortable to deal with.

“uh… . Anyway, thank you for coming.”

So I gave an awkward greeting and turned my head.

Of course, I wasn’t just trying to avoid him, I had friends I needed to urgently look after.

“!”

“… !”

But when I turned and walked away, everyone in the group, starting with Kwon Ha-seon, flinched and backed away.

“… … .”

I could feel that my polymorph tattoo was damaged, so I knew that even without a mirror, I was still looking like I did.

Nevertheless, seeing that he was wary of me, he caused such a ruckus that he broke the tower wall, so I felt that it was justified… I also froze in my seat as ominous thoughts raised my head again.

‘no way… !’

Cha Yu-ra and Kang Seon-ho are because of me… ?

Fuck… Fuck you!

Why did I realize that only now…

Pot!

At that time, Ha-seon Kwon took a step back and kicked out of his seat.

A fighting spirit, as if trying to suffocate the enemy.

The target was me.

Kwon Ha-seon let go of his shield and mace as the rush was right in front of him. A fist that cuts through the wind… .

Bye!

A heavy shock hit my chin.

It was a blow that shook even the goal.

I flew about 3 meters and landed on the ground.

thud!

It could have been avoided, but it was unavoidable.

He probably wouldn’t have avoided it even if he had swung the mace.

Because I understood her anger.

‘I took Cha Yu-ra and Kang Seon-ho… Killed it… .’

“You’re not like that.”

A word that cuts through your thoughts.

These were the words Ha-seon Kwon said while looking down at me.

“I… “You didn’t do it?”

“At least.”

Ha-seon Kwon grabbed my collar and lifted me up.

“I didn’t mean to do that, so don’t blame yourself and do that.”

I muttered in a dazed state.

“I guess that’s true.”

“Or you would be dead. Kang Seon-ho’s uncle… and then… Because I tried to kill you too. Yura unnie… , it was an accident. It’s my fault. I should have taken care of her, but she thought that she was good at taking care of herself… .”

Now I see that Kwon Ha-seon’s actions were not an expression of anger.

What made me flinch was instinctive fear,

Or perhaps it was a reluctance caused by shock, but he shook it off in an instant and rushed to block my thoughts.

In other words, he was worried about me.

I was grateful for his feelings, but there was no way that could cover up what I had done.

“Don’t say nonsense… . There is no need to force it. “What I did was I-.”

match!

“shut up.”

Ha-seon Kwon cut me off by slapping me on the cheek.

“… !”

“No one here knows that you were unconscious earlier. Just now… “I wasn’t sure if your mind had really come back.”

“… … .”

“Now you… , No, that’s what my brother has to do. “He’s not blaming himself, he’s taking care of himself.”

“… … !”

“Uncle… Just because he was a terrible villain and someone’s enemy doesn’t mean he wasn’t your father… . “For now, take your time first, and then help us understand this.”

Ha-seon Kwon shed tears while speaking.

I just couldn’t say anything.

Because it was something I could never have imagined coming out of Kwon Ha-seon’s mouth.

It was unclear whether Ha-seon Kwon was momentarily thinking of his father or mourning the death of his friend.

Of course, both would be included.

Anyway, because of that, my eyes also got hot.

The sadness that I had pushed aside suddenly came flooding back.

chin!

At that time, Yushin intervened, grabbing my back.

“Your friend says so.”

After saying those words, he grabbed me and jumped up.

“What are you doing… .”

As soon as I came out of the tower, I felt a huge gravitational field pressing down.

“Oh, you two are having a hard time.”

“What a bitch… .”

Yushin let go of his hand at that moment, so I had to focus my mind to avoid falling as I was trying to shake him off.

It was so powerful that it was difficult to stay still just by hitting it with magical energy.

This was again a trick to destroy authority, and I was surprised that Yushin was also able to do it.

But while I was looking at him for a moment, he said something even more surprising.

“From what I heard, it looks like your father is dead. “That was the sadness Mia was talking about.”

“I predicted that you would be sad?”

Did you even foresee your father’s death?

If that were the case, I would have regretted not bringing Mia back then.

This incident was not mentioned in Mia’s new diary, but it might have been possible to prepare if she had been able to hear her dream in real time.

‘I should have persuaded him at all costs and kept him by my side… .’

“You look like you’re quickly regretting something again. What I was trying to say was… For now, it’s better to do as the child says. You’re not in a state where you can think straight. “If you remain here like that, you will have more things to regret.”

“… … .”

I felt it wasn’t so bad that an accident couldn’t happen, but as I experienced earlier, I couldn’t guarantee that the dam that temporarily imprisoned my emotions would never break down.

I decided to take Yushin’s advice and looked at Kwon Ha-seon for a moment.

Kwon Ha-seon’s eyes were telling him to keep going for now.

‘sorry.’

It was an old apple that contained my father’s memories and emotions.

“For now, let’s go to Rak Vishia.”

“… okay.”

The moment I turned my head to hear Yushin’s words, I suddenly felt eyes looking up at me from below.

Of course, it wasn’t that I hadn’t felt the numerous gazes below, but there was one presence that stood out.

‘Casas… . ‘You came.’

I smiled faintly, but what came back was a murderous look.

Then, I realized that the guy’s death was aimed at Yushin, not me, and I found the body of an old man on the floor near him.

“Aaron… ?”

At that moment, I remembered Aaron’s salvation and looked back on Yushin.

“You bastard!”

Yushin said with an embarrassed expression.

“Hmm. Did you know each other? do not worry. “I am a seed who comes back to life even if I die.”

I didn’t know that.

Obviously, there were still more times left.

So I didn’t feel angry or sad.

“ha… .”

Maybe this was my fault for putting off sorting things out even though I knew about their relationship.

“Life is not infinite, so if you meet again, don’t kill him.”

“… “I’ll try.”

“never. He said. “He’s Mia’s grandfather.”

“!”
