Gaiden Chapter 20 - Threats posed (3)
The illusion that time has stopped.
Along with the exploding magical power of transcendence, the smell of death creeps up from somewhere.
It was unfamiliar, yet also frightening.
I felt the beating of my heart beating inside my chest.
But now I'm used to the feeling.
Quarreureung...!
Soon, blue thunderbolts were embroidered in the darkened sky.
The darkness encroached by the spreading blue light is torn to shreds.
Turbuck.
Seo-joon took a big step through the torn darkness.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!
As if against Seo-jun, the pitch black, like a tsunami, covered the darkness as if it had been painted over with darkness.
They occupy space.
The darkness harbored a hideous malice.
Violent, disgusting, and vile.
The madness that flows from the other side of the darkness.
It contained outrageous malice.
The energy of death rises and the darkness shoots out.
“This is such nonsense...!”
Facing the terrible malice, Carls unknowingly collapsed into his seat. A terrible malice
that I had never encountered before in my life
.
This was malice that even the ruler of the dimension, the emperor, could not bear.
No, no one Carl's ever met had such malice.
In general, the first emotion felt by beings in the face of overwhelming power was ‘fear'.
survival instinct.
It was because the instinct to run away and live was manifested.
But this was not so.
A transcendent malice far beyond common sense.
can't resist
can't escape
No matter what you do, you can't escape.
I can't even feel the fear because I can't survive.
In the face of this power, the instinct for survival was not being expressed.
Right then.
Pajijijijik!!
Suddenly, a blue light burst out of Seo-jun's eyes.
Soon, thunderbolts bursting tore apart the world.
That wonderful power overturned space itself and far transcended the realm of martial arts.
What is bondi darkness?
Disappearing by light is the rule of this world.
It is the absolute law that constitutes this world.
It is a system that cannot and should not be violated.
But now.
Darkness is not a ghost, but it did not retreat as if it were alive.
Flash!
Quarreung!
The light of lightning bursts from the spear of Longinus wielded by Seo Jun.
However, the light disappears into the dark side as if frightened.
Darkness covets life.
Darkness obliterates existence.
Something...
Something hangs over this space.
monster?
It's absurd to see it that way.
A strange phenomenon that dominates the world and devours all living things in it.
That's the only way to explain it.
Space itself approaches as an adversary.
If there is no means to hit this space, opposition is impossible.
And breaking the space means breaking the framework of the system.
This is a realm that far transcends the limits of an individual.
That is why it is truly bizarre,
unapproachable, powerful,
unrecognizable, complicated, and
mysterious.
Inexplicable and inconceivable things explode and repeat.
It cannot be explained by any concept in the world.
It shakes the foundations of the world.
That is why Confucius
did not speak of this.

Kwak Kwak Kwak!!
There was an explosion as if the world was collapsing.
But no one could see the explosion.
Darkness over space itself.
Kwaji support!
The darkness was tearing through the darkness.
In an instant, incontinence like a spider's web was engraved in the dark space.
It gradually grew in size, and the darkness of the space began to distort more severely.
and momentarily
With Chaeng-!!
The distorted darkness finally shattered.
and.
flash!
Seo-jun was able to face a certain existence through the torn darkness.
The existence was a dragon of a size that is not enough to say that it is gigantic.
Dragon, the strongest creature on earth that reigns over all things.
And among the dragons, the existence that resides at the highest level.
That's why that existence was also the one that Seo-joon had met once.
A terrible evil that once drove the Earth to the brink of destruction.
An existence called Cataclysm itself.
“Beserk...?”
monster of the end.
Dragon Emperor Beserk.
Seo-joon's mind was filled with confusion for an instant.
That's because Beserk shouldn't have been here.
Beserkra in Astelgia had the same concept as the demon king on Earth.
A referential pronoun that is not a proper noun. That's why
it could be said that they were different from Beserk, whom Seo-jun opposed,
even though they had the same name .
Of course, it was a different concept, but
it was strange that it fit perfectly for a coincidence.
But that's all.
Seojun didn't have much doubt.
Because Beserk had apparently been annihilated by Seo-jun's hand in England last time.
‘What... what happened?'
Big huh uh uh uh uh
A savage scream erupted, resounding through the heavens.
horror and fear.
Negative emotions that make up the world nestle in screams and rage.
It was something different from the Beserk that Seo-joon had dealt with the other day.
It was also true that the Beserk that Seo-jun was dealing with at the time was before full liberation.
It was still before complete liberation, and
it could be said that it was the remnant of Beserk's power to restrain Seo-jun.
Even so, the entity was connected and Beserk disappeared.
This is an undeniable fact.
Above all, isn't Beserk's heart now in Seo-jun?
But now...
No, is the Beserk then and the Beserk now the same?
As of now, I don't know exactly.
However, the conclusion that Seo-joon drew from his intuition was... ‘No'.
The appearance, magic power, and momentum were the same.
But something fundamental is different.
Big huh uh uh uh uh
A savage scream erupted again.
Seo-joon pushed the thoughts that came to him into a corner.
Dealing with that terrible evil is a priority now.
Seojun took a deep breath.
The air stimulates the lungs and the mind flashes.
Quarreureung...!
Blue thunderbolts were embroidered in the darkened sky.
The darkness encroached by the spreading blue light is torn to shreds.
At the same time, Seojun's anger (Ira) and jealousy (Invidia).
The powers of the two sins began to rampage.
A tyrannical power suppressed.
The violence met with a terrible release and began to run amok in all directions.
The absolute power that compels all things to surrender bursts forth.
and at the same time.
─────────!
A sound echoed through the space.
Soon after, the color that formed the shape began to fade.
Eventually, the shapes of all things become blurred and everything collapses.
The outline of the world collapses.
Everything turns into chaos.
space.
This time.
Thus, all kinds of things.
collapse (collapse)
.

Thousand Moon Meteor Spear.
Type 1 (第一形).
Jin (眞) - the collapse of all things (萬狀崩壞).
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
The distorted space vibrates slightly in the broken space.
Space is broken and the providence of time and space is distorted.
Time stood still without an identity.
Blue electroencephalogram bursting out.
Even the shimmering darkness.
It was like a lie.
Illusion as if you are in control of the providence of nature.
It took over the space and formed a great flow.
A scene where everything turns into chaos.
“Keugh...!”
Seo-joon staggered for a moment as the pain pierced his entire body.
Since he had regained 70% of his power, he thought he would be able to use it without difficulty, but somehow, the reaction of the true - universal collapse (萬狀崩壞) was more intense than Seo-jun expected.
that means that.
Jin (眞) - The power of the collapse of all things (萬狀崩壞) is also tremendous.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!!
As expected, Beserk struggled in the distorting chaos—
right at that moment.
Quagga gag gag gag gag-!!!
Suddenly, the terrible darkness of Beserk began to explode.
It tore apart the distorting chaos in an instant, and then began to swallow the chaos instead.
And again.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!!
Between the chaos swallowed up in the darkness, Beserk jumped out.
‘resistance... Did you?'
For a moment, Seo-joon couldn't hide his embarrassment.
Although it is 70% of the power
, the true story of the collapse of all things was properly contained.
Yet he resisted.
Of course, the Beserk he looked at could not be said to be in perfect condition.
The two wings were torn to shreds, and
the whole body was broken and shattered here and there, so it was doubtful whether it was alive or not.
Wow-!
As expected, the screams he uttered did not contain the same malice as before.
However, Jin (眞) - resisted the power of the collapse of all things (萬狀崩壞).
That alone was enough to surprise me.
also.
Is it the primordial Beserk that appears in mythology?
Seojun grabbed Longinus's spear.
The power of transcendence bursting out.
Into it, the reality of all things in the universe pours down.
Sun Moon Rain Wind Fog Snow Spring Summer Fall Winter.
River mountain stone tree grass beast person.
everything that exists in the universe.
all phenomena.
The statue of Manhui in the space law world.
The fire of truth.
An infinite world unfolded before long.
The origin of all things in the universe is visible through the expanse of the gigantic space.
There is neither beginning nor end before him, and what he has come from cannot be investigated.
Its calmness, emptiness, and purity are the body of qi.
It is empty yet not empty.

.
.
Softly...
the wind blew and
the field of vision opened.
In the open field of view, Beserk's true form was disappearing.
“Cheukhak...!”
Seo-joon bit his teeth at the pain that seemed to cut his whole body.
As expected, the aftermath of the reaction was more intense than expected.
Seojun let out a long breath, using Longinus's spear as a support.
‘I need to get back my strength quickly...'
But when this work was over, I was able to receive a causal amount of 2 views and 3000 trillion from Elian.
And Beserk, the condition for that task, has now disappeared.
All that remains is to regain full strength and return to Earth.
‘I don't know if the team members are doing well.'
My heart is already beating.
< Now... can I go back? >
Seo-joon slowly turned his back along with the mentor's words coming from inside his arms.
and.
“Mama ma ma ma, that’s unbelievable…!”
The first thing that came into Seo-jun's field of vision was Carl's astonished expression.
Carls was looking this way with an indescribable expression.
“How can you do this...!”
And next to it, Aren's shocked expression came in as well.
Carl and Aren.
The two of them were looking at Seo-joon with an expression that could not be expressed with the concept that existed in the world.
For a while, Seo-jun scratched the back of his head feeling embarrassed.
“This can't be...!”
“That, that, that…!”
The reaction of the two was unusual.
It is not as if they are astonished at seeing Seo-jun, but
behind Seo-jun's back, rather than being astonished at
Seo-jun's inaction.
He seemed shocked to see something.
Right then.
creepy.
For an instant, the eerie sense of life passed by Seo-joon's senses.
A life I've never encountered before.
It penetrated Seo-jun's senses and hardened his entire body.
Seojun forcibly turned his back.
And what was reflected in Seo-joon's field of view.
No, it was something that wasn't something.
To be exact, it covered the sky pitch black.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
It was Beserk's group.
Beserks, whose number I dare not even estimate.
The end of Astelgia was approaching.
#
“What is this...!!”
Seojun's eyes widened.
The group of Beserks that covered the sky like dark clouds was estimated to be in the thousands.
Thousands of Beserks that Seojun had just dealt with were approaching.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The encroaching dark energy bursts out in all directions.
“Kim Seo-joon!!”
Aren's cry was heard then.
Seojun burst into TRP's speed and hurriedly approached Aren.
“How did this happen?”
“Someone seems to be breaking the seal!”
seal?
“Looks like someone used the artifact that was sealing the ruins!”
Aren shouted urgently, but Seo-joon honestly couldn't understand.
What is the ruin and what is the artifact that was sealing it?
What were you sealing in the first place?
Seo-joon was suspicious, but he didn't bother to ask.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
It wasn't even a situation to ask in the first place.
Right then.
Startle!
For an instant, Seo-joon's whole body felt a creepy malice.
Seojun slowly raised his gaze.
Reflected in that vision were thousands of Beserks covering the sky.
Exactly beyond that.
Seojun was able to face something in the beginning.
Thousands of beserks covered the sky.
It had malice on a different level from them.
It feels as if the very concept of evil was derived from this being.
That's why it's not enough to call it the primordial evil.
Seo-joon was able to realize.
that one
The original Beserk that drove Astelgia to the brink of destruction.
Seojun grabbed Longinus's spear.
absurdly strong.
Even if he regained his full strength, it seemed that he would not be able to guarantee a victory.
“Carls! Get out of here right now!”
Seo-joon shouted at Carls, who was in shock.
Then, Carls suddenly came to his senses and shouted.
“Are you telling me to run away alone! Not like that...!”
“Don’t be stubborn, get out of here quickly! I can't handle it with your level!”
“Ha, but…!”
“hurry!”
Carls bit his teeth.
As a prince and as a sword master.
I felt ashamed of the fact that I had to run away.
“...... All right.”
But Carls was not stubborn.
It was because he knew that staying here would only hinder Seo-joon.
Seojun nodded and spoke to his mentor.
“Mentor! Mentor, follow Carls and escape!”
< Yes, yes! >
The mentor immediately jumped up from Seo-jun's arms and approached Carls.
Carls put his mentor in his arms and looked at Seo-jun once.
“Be sure… come back, Master!”
Then, with all his might, he began to leave the place.
Carls disappeared from sight in an instant.
Seo-joon slowly turned his head and looked at the black sky.
Thousands of beserks covered the sky.
And the unknown evil.
can i win
I don't know.
But I didn't think long.
I had to do it!
Quagga gag gag gag!!!
At that moment, an unknown force eroded the entire space.
Before long, the transcendental magic possessed by Seo-jun greatly swelled.
The space is filled with seething violence.
“Cuck!”
Seo-joon was momentarily crushed by the overwhelming violence.
A force that could not be handled even with the magic of the triple battle.
“Keugh...!”
Seojun was able to realize at once.
Not alone.
Even more so now that he has not yet regained his full strength.
Would it have been possible even if he had regained full strength?
I don't know.
But don't think
Seojun shouted to Aren, who was listening.
“Aren, I think I need to do my best this time!”
however.
For some reason, I didn't hear Aren's answer.
“Aren?”
Seojun turned his head again and looked at Aren.
Aren's face, looking back like that, looked something unusual.
“Kim Seo-joon.”
For an instant, Aren called Seo-jun in a serious tone.
And before Seo-joon could even answer,
strange magic began to emanate from Aren's body.
and momentarily
Hey hey profit!
Aren's magic rushed to Seo-joon.
Seojun hurriedly swung the spear of Longinus.
Jja-Oh!!
A terrible crashing sound erupted, and Seo-jun's body was pushed far away.
Aren's sudden action.
“Aren! What are you doing!”
Seojun shouted loudly as if shouting.
And just then.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwah!!!
A terrible force came over Aren's place.
Dark magic emitted from thousands of Beserks that covered the sky.
Aren was swept away by the dark magic.
“Keukhak!”
“Aren!!”
Seo-joon screamed in surprise.
And then, the moment I was about to approach him in a hurry.
“Don’t come!!”
Aren exclaimed urgently.
“What are you talking about! now...!”
“Kim Seo-joon...! From now on, I will…!”
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
“Cheak! I'm telling you... you have to listen carefully!”
Aren shouted, desperately blocking the pouring power of darkness.
And Seojun ignored Aren's words.
I don't know what Aren was up to, but
I couldn't stay still.
Right then.
Woo woo woo woo...!
Suddenly, Aren's whole body began to soar with strange power.
To be precise, the staff Seo-jun found in the dark forest.
It was none other than the power that soared from the staff used by the first Transcendentalist.
The power emanating from the staff soon began to dominate the surrounding space.
Then, the Beserks and Aren covered the sky.
And the space with Seojun was isolated.
A situation that has been divided between unknown forces.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Beserk's group let out a long roar and began to resist the force.
But what the heck.
The power that radiated from the staff did not budge.
It was as if the group of Beserks were sealed in the entire space here.
“What is this...!”
Embarrassed for a moment.
[A long-disappeared memory... power.]
An unknown voice came from
somewhere .
voice?
No, rather than a voice, it felt like the will was directly pierced into my brain.
But in any case, it didn't matter that much.
[However, that power has disappeared and there will be no one who can use it anymore...]
Eventually, a terrifying gaze scanned the space.
To be precise, he was heading towards Aren, who was drawing out the power of the staff.
[Is it not completely erased? In this case, was it not recognized because the existence was different? He ate one shot.]
And then a word.
[It's just a remnant of power anyway.]
So-so-!
At the same time, the power of the unfolded staff began to break.
It was really...
a terrifying force.
“Kha ha ha!”
Blood poured from Aren's mouth.
I could tell without even saying how hard my trembling whole body was.
However, Aren's eyes lit up and he shouted at Seo-joon.
“Seojun Kim! A little further ahead, there will be an entrance to the ruins! Normally, it's a place you can't enter by ordinary means...!”
ruins? Entrance?
plain way?
Aren spat out words that he could not understand.
So, I don't know what it was,
but it seemed that Aren was trying to send Seo-jun to some place.
Seojun shouted.
“I don't know why, but I'd rather stay here! It's just Aren...!”
“Kim Seo-joon has to go! The only person who can inherit the will left by the first Transcendentalist is Seojun Kim!”
The will left by the first Transcendentalist?
“There are many things you want to ask! But I don't have time to explain them all! Come on, gossip... Cool!”
Aren screamed again, pouring out blood.
“There must be an answer! Go and face the truth about Kim Seo-joon!”
The truth intertwined with me?
Seo-joon couldn't understand what Aren was saying.
However, Aren was desperately trying to let Seo Jun go.
Seo-joon bit off this.
The existence that is hanging now.
Even if Seo-joon did his best, he did not know if he would be able to stand against that being.
no i can't resist
So, in fact, there was no way.
Nevertheless, Aren was desperately trying to send Seo Jun away.
Is there any way to get there?
“It doesn't last long! Come on!!!”
“I'll be right back… soon!”
Seo-joon flashed TRP's speed.
#
Seojun was able to quickly find the entrance to the ruins that Aren mentioned. It was because
TRP's speed was used to find it, and
there were places that looked suspicious at first glance.
Seojun stood in front of the entrance of the ruins.
However, there was no space to go inside anywhere.
Aren's words that he couldn't enter by ordinary means.
But Aren only said so.
No further mention was made of how to get in.
Even at this moment, Aren was going through life and death.
That time when you want to break the entrance.
Keying...!
Suddenly, a small light began to flicker on the stone slab placed in front of the ruins.
It was as if he was recognizing and reacting to Seo-jun's existence.
Seo-joon slowly stretched out his hand towards the stone slab.
That moment.
Whoaaaaaaaagh!
For an instant, a bright light arose on the slate, covering the field of view.
Then, as if entering a dungeon, the vision began to reverse.
A moment of embarrassment.
- You finally came this far.
An unknown voice came to Seo-joon's ear.
And that was the voice Seo-joon heard one day.
[Beware the observer.]
[If one day the time of choice comes...]
A voice that did not understand the meaning of what had been told to beware the observer.
It was the same as that voice.
Eventually, the reversed view slowly returned.
What Seo-jun could see was a temple in a dark cave.
And there was a certain existence standing in the middle of it.
The being looked at Seo-jun and slowly opened its mouth.
-My name is Astelgia.
And at the voice he heard, Seo-joon opened his eyes involuntarily.
Astelgia.
It is the name of this dimension and at the same time the existence that first established the concept of transcendence.
“The first Transcendentalist...?”
because that was his name
