Chapter 448
460. Into a dream 2
A black cube wrapped in a white chain and a white cube wrapped in a black chain.
Its true identity is the “essence of God” that has been sealed for some reason.
‘They’re so similar…’
Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes moved toward Kim Ho-jung.
“Oh, the sparks came out.”
‘There must be a reason.’
It’s a guess, but the nature of the Administrator and the Black Beast must be related in some way.
‘According to the vision Sehmet showed, the black beast was betrayed and sealed by someone…’
At that time, the black beast tried to mention the existence that sealed it, but it was blocked by keywords, so it could not be said.
‘The manager is also in a sealed state, but this side clearly stated that the beings who sealed themselves were the gods of Azul Continent.’
In other words, the existence that sealed the black beast was not the general gods of the Azul continent, but a person who could not even be ‘mentioned’ due to keyword restrictions.
‘At this point, there is only one person like that…’
Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes moved toward the pure white flame that appeared in the broken cube.
‘This bastard, the manager, has gone through it.’
Under the circumstances, the person who betrayed the Black Beast and sealed it must be the Administrator.
‘Then, Shin Yu-jun lightly cut off the chain wrapped around the black cube because the administrator’s power weakened as he was sealed away.’
In this way, the front and back fit together.
‘Has he also been shot and sealed by someone else? The real situation turns funny.’
I don’t know what the relationship between the black beast and the administrator is, and I don’t know why the administrator sealed the black beast, but one thing was certain.
‘That the two of them don’t have a good relationship.’
Not to mention the black beast that is rampaging to get revenge on the manager, and the fact that the manager slammed the black beast into the ground in the first place shows that they treat each other like dogs.
‘So I sent Mr. Kim Ho-jung first…’
If his hypothesis is correct, how will the manager react when he confronts Kim Ho-jung, who is mixed with the black beast?
‘How are you going to come out?’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the manager with expectations in various ways.
[I never thought that a human who could unravel this seal would appear.]
[If it wasn’t for you]
[I would have been trapped here for the rest of my life.]
[Thank you so much.]
But the administrator seemed to have no interest in Kim Ho-jung, only sending messages of thanks to Kang Seung-hyeon. poured out
‘What’s wrong with my guess?’
Seunghyun Kang ignored the message and fell into thought.
Including the hints Sehmet left at the end and the circumstances, the culprit who took control of the black beast must have been the manager.
If so, there is no way not to react when you see Kim Ho-jung mixed with the black beast.
‘In the first place, the other gods seemed to be offended by looking at some kind of bug.’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at Kim Ho-jung with a puzzled face.
‘huh?’
It was then that I realized that something like a hazy fog was rolling around Kim Ho-jung’s body.
It was so blurry that if I wasn’t paying attention, I would have missed it.
‘What is that?’
[Eye of Observation]
It was a phenomenon he had never seen before, so Kang Seung-hyun immediately activated [Eye of Observation].
[Blurry hatred]
[Cognitive impairment occurs the moment □□ tries to observe it.]
Immediately, an informational message pops up, but
it crackles.
[■■■■■■■■■■■]
Immediately, it distorted as if something had gone wrong.
[He’s just an old man wearing glasses.]
[He’s obviously not thinking about anything.]
In the blink of an eye, it was changed to another message.
It was the same when I checked the past messages again.
‘Hazy hatred causes cognitive impairment when something tries to observe… It was like this.’
It seems impossible to check the message again, but fortunately, it was not difficult to grasp the situation because I had read all the contents before the change.
‘It’s not that the manager isn’t interested in Kim Ho-jung, is it because he doesn’t recognize it?’
If that’s the case, I can understand the current situation.
The reason why the manager doesn’t even pay attention to the human being mixed with the black beast is because it looks like a dimension mover 1 to himself.
‘There’s no way Mr. Kim Ho-jeong has such great abilities, and it’s probably the work of a black beast.’
Seeing as he instinctively hides his identity even when he has let go of his reason, it seems that the Black Beast thinks that the manager shouldn’t be aware of his resurrection.
‘Maybe I’ll keep my mouth shut for now.’
There seems to be a reason why the guy who made Kim Ho-jung treated as an insect because he didn’t even think about hiding his identity from the other gods is thoroughly hiding from the manager.
‘There’s no reason to fight with the black beast right now.’
Kang Seung-hyeon decided to hide something about the black beast.
Other than that, Alec is the only person who knows the truth about the black beast to some extent, but
“I feel like I’ve seen the ending of the first playthrough. Those are the ending credits. Let’s name the game… Bloody Mage.”
“Why are you the main character?”
“Because I am the main character in my life.”
It seems that he wasn’t even thinking about the black beast in the first place.
“Sir Kang, is that flame the status window manager?”
For reference, the person involved, Kim Ho-jung, is also not thinking about anything. I was just looking at the sparks that appeared in the cube with curious eyes.
“Precisely, the ‘essence’ of the manager.”
The moment Kang Seung-hyun said that,
“That’s…”
“It’s no different from the soul of a divine being.”
“A super rare scam cheat?”
Except for Kim Ho-jung, who was dumbfounded, the eyes of the three people changed sharply.
The reason Kang Seung-hyeon obtained the [Miracle of Teratoma] was because he defeated Simua Rize and absorbed his essence.
“Then, if I eat that alone, I’ll become the best in Azul Continent, right?”
“I told you before.”
Hearing those words, Seunghyun Kang opened his mouth with a puzzled face.
“If a human touches the essence of a god, they will be eaten.”
It was thanks to awakening [Disbelief] that Kang Seung-Hyun was able to remain intact even after touching the essence of Simua Rize.
However, Kang Seung-hyeon was able to absorb only a small part of his essence, and even that much was able to be absorbed because Simua Rise was an artificially created half-penny god.
“Even with [Disbelief], it is impossible to absorb all of the essence of a god, so what are people who have no idea…”
“Kuh…!”
Alec raised his forehead as if he was regretful and expected the development of a sudden awakening from ‘disbelief’, but the reality was grim.
[I think this should be enough to say thank you.]
Kang Seung-hyun, who had been lining up messages he hadn’t even read, sent a new message.
“Then it seems it’s your turn to keep your promise.”
[Actually, I also want to send you all back to Earth right now.]
[I haven’t regained all my powers yet.]
Of course, loosening the chains didn’t mean everything was over.
[This is an unconscious world separate from reality.]
[Here, I am a mental body confined to the unconscious world.]
[In other words, in terms of a human being, I am a soul-like being.]
Only the essence of the manager is sealed in the unconscious space in the dream.
Currently, the manager’s body vessel is separated from its essence and sealed somewhere on the Azul continent.
[This means that in order for me to fully regain my strength, I need to find the missing vessel and unseal it.]
“….”
[Sorry
for not telling you in advance .] There was very little information available.]
The manager sent a message saying he was very sorry, but Kang Seung-hyun only made a calm face.
‘That’s right… because I already know.’
It was also because the black beast in the vision Sehmet had kindly explained.
‘We need to retrieve the vessel that will hold the essence of the body we took out of the cube to contain the soul.’
The two resemble each other to the point where it hurts.
Then, in order to resurrect in a true sense, the manager will have to find a vessel to contain the essence of the person, not just untie the chains and open the cube.
[Surprised.]
“What?”
When Kang Seung-hyun maintained a calm attitude, the manager said in a puzzled tone.
[I thought you’d go crazy for cheating on me]
Actually, if you hadn’t heard the story of the black beast from Sehmet, you’d have gone wild, so the manager’s words are true.
“Ah, are you seriously mistaken?”
However, Kang Seung-hyun brought up the opposite story.
“The word “cheated” is used only when the person you trusted hit me in the head.”
The manager still doesn’t know that Kang Seung-hyun knows about the existence of the black cube, or that he saw the process of his being freed.
“In the first place, I didn’t expect that you would send me home smoothly just because you filled the bowl. You trash child.”
So, as long as you’ve decided to keep your mouth shut about the black beast, there’s no need to show it off.
[I see.]
“If you know, shut up and give me a reward.”
[All right. Can I give it as an achievement as usual?]
“If you give it to me again through roulette, I’ll make it look like a real xx.”
If he resembles the manager and the black beast, he might be able to do the same thing Shin Yu-jun did to the black beast.
‘For example, taking a corpse and throwing it as a bowl.’
Coincidentally, Alec was envious of the ability of the black beast, and his hair was white, so it seems that he can make it into a white beast.
[I’ll give you a skill coupon as a confirmed reward.]
[You’ll need a skill that goes well with your new weapon.]
“Give me your first achievement message.”
[Okay.]
“Okay.”
transaction made.
It’s a pity for Alec, but I don’t think the white beast will ever be born.
“Ah, you’ll give the comrades who were with you at this glorious scene a reward worthy of their own way, right?”
“Ooh! Mr. Kang, are you even taking care of us? I didn’t do anything…”
“If something good comes out, pass it to me.”
“Wasn’t it taking care of me?”
“You can just have that.”
“It’s nice to hear…”
[Achievement achieved!]
Anyway, Kang Seung-hyun and his party accomplished the feat of rescuing the manager who was sealed in the cube.
It had been 3 years since he came to the Azul continent.
[Now I can tell you a little more story.]
“A little more story… what. In the first place, we are talking to you for the first time.”
“that’s right. You just brought it right away.”
“In a word, by the standards of other dimension movers, it feels like ‘Is there a story in this game?’”
“Ignore the noise and get down to business,”
while others grumble .
Kang Seung-hyun passed it coolly and continued.
“Now you said you could tell me more, so let’s talk about it.”
[…]
“What is your true identity?”
An existence that exerts influence even in a sealed and forgotten state, and even attracts humans from other worlds.
In the first place, seeing that many divine beings could not get rid of it and stopped at sealing it, it was a deity with power that was incomparable to that of most gods.
“He would never be an ordinary god.”
The manager, who was silent for a while, floated a short text in the air.
[The creator god who created this world.]
[My name is Azul.]
