Chapter 309
Side Story Chapter 26 - A New Beginning
The capital of the Volunyu Empire.
The sky wasn't very clear.
The sky was dark as pitch black, tinged with evil, and the
innumerable groups of Beserks covered the space between them.
There was a brilliant light like the sun, but
that light was swallowed up and just faded away.
The capital of the Volunyu Empire, where
it had neither
rain nor
snow, and the sun had not set, was black.
As if hinting at Astelgia's fate.
However.
under that pitch black sky.
Pajijijik!
A line of blue ink began to bloom through Seo-jun's body.
it's one two.
Again, numerous blue ink lines began to spread.
Eventually, they slowly dyed the sky blue.
‘Dangerous!'
The ancient evil looked at Seo-joon with a flash of red light.
Darkness swallowed up by blue light.
The blue ink lines emanating from Seo-joon were making the dark world blue.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
At the same time, the beserks that covered the sky, crushed by the power of Seo Jun, were falling one by one.
And what does this situation mean?
‘Swallowed... Swallowed?'
Nonsense!
Primordial Evil could not believe this.
I couldn't even believe it
He is literally primordial evil.
A predestined fate that brings about the end of Astelgia.
no one else
Even the existence that disappeared from long memories could not escape this fate.
But now.
Kwakkwakkwakkwakkwag!!!
The power emanating from Seo-jun was denying that fate.
impossible.
It was literally ‘impossible'.
That's a power that doesn't exist.
It's a force that shouldn't exist.
A power that escapes from the transcendental laws that make up the world.
The world does not allow such power.
Therefore, it was the creation of cause and effect from nothing to being.
A time when there was no concept of transcendence.
It was an area where even the existence that had disappeared long ago could not walk.
Therefore, with the concept of causation.
With the concept of the law of the world.
I dare not define ‘that'.
so that's it.
It could no longer be called transcendental.
[Uh, how could you...!!!]
Right at that moment.
Beetle.
For an instant, Seo-joon's body staggered.
A truly fleeting moment.
It was only a glimpse of it for a brief moment, but
the primeval evil was able to recognize it.
At the same time, the ancient evil was able to find a loophole in Seo-jun.
[Still... I can't seem to fully use it.]
That power is too much for Seo-jun.
Primordial evil flashed a red glow once more.
I couldn't figure out why.
However, Seo-joon is a power that has long since disappeared.
It had the power of none other than the first transcendent.
It was a contradictory power in which the power of infinity had limits.
Therefore, the existence had to be destroyed just by possessing that power.
But for some other reason.
Seo-joon was able to use that ridiculous power.
But the appearance between the moment I just saw.
Now, it seemed that Seo-jun could not use that power perfectly.
The ancient evil looked at Seo-jun with a flash of red light.
And I quickly found out why.
[Isn't it perfect?]
Seo-joon's imperfection is vaguely felt.
Although he can use the power of the beginning,
Seo-jun's power to express that power is not perfect.
Apparently, it seemed to have lost its power for some reason.
By a certain law that he had been trapped in for so long.
And the thought of such primeval evil was correct.
Seojun has now regained 70% of his original strength.
The remaining 30% of the power was still unrecovered.
In a way, it could be said that it was only 30%.
However, the power of Samdanjeon (三丹田) also remained in that 30%.
The power of Sandanjeon (三丹田), which is not yet intact.
With that, the power left by the first Transcendentalist could not be fully used.
[It would have been better if I had bought time until I regained my strength... Couldn't I just watch the beings die? How stupid.]
Maybe that stupid decision is the fate of the end that was predestined.
After all, fate is the kind of thing that can't be changed.
A long time ago.
Like someone who went against himself and disappeared.
The ancient evil smiled round and round.
[That choice... has become your failure.]
Primordial evil released all its power.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung...!!!
Space began to vibrate.
As the land dries up in a severe drought, the space began to crack.
Two transcendent forces colliding.
Kwaji Jijik!!!
Even space cannot withstand the collision of the two forces and is eventually torn apart.
Quad de de de de deuk!
Space-time was distorted and the unfolding world disappeared.
Beyond the twisting space-time.
[Stupid.]
The primeval evil flashed a red light.
Primordial evil knew.
That you can't stop Seo-joon with your current power.
The current Seo-jun's power was a power that no one in the universe could match.
A new power that doesn't exist.
It cannot be opposed unless you are a creator beyond the observer.
That's why primeval evil cannot resist that force.
Therefore, the primeval evil is aiming for one thing this time.
Offsets Seojun's power once.
Seo Jun's power is a power that cannot be matched unless he is the creator.
However, even Seo-jun could not ignore the cost of using that power.
To be precise, Seo-joon in an incomplete state could not handle the recoil of that power.
It was clear that a crowd would come.
Even so, the reason Seo-joon wanted to use that power now was simple.
Because if you drag out time, people die and get hurt.
That's why it seemed like he was trying to end everything once and for all.
Maybe if Seojun took the time.
Or at least if you were aiming for a more perfect opportunity than now.
The ancient evil would not be able to stop Seo-joon.
But Seojun didn't do that.
So it was the most stupid idea ever.
Of course, it's a kind of power that I can't stop even once.
Fortunately, the primeval evil had a safeguard in place.
A being engulfed in its own evil.
That foolish being called Vettel.
Vettel coveted power while unsealing herself.
As a result, a part of the existence that was dwelling in the primeval evil was indwelt in Bethel.
At first, I thought he was a cheeky being who took his power.
But now, it has worked as a favor.
Because even if the main body dies, it can start again from there.
So unless you're dealing with both.
To be precise, as long as the vessel called Bethel exists.
Primordial evil does not perish.
Of course, I had to take the serious blow of the body disappearing.
But it was tolerable enough.
Seo-joon will not be able to do anything with the recoil of using that power.
At that time, it was enough to easily kill Seo-joon.
so.
[Your foolish choice is finally bringing about the end.]
This fight was my own victory—!
That moment.
Startle!
The primeval evil shook its gigantic body involuntarily.
A sudden feeling of alienation.
The ancient evil hurriedly turned its head towards the place where it felt the difference.
and.
[What the hell...!!!]
Primordial evil shouted with a startled expression.
#
“Why?”
Vettel murmured softly.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Carl's writhing in pain.
However, for some reason, the gaze of Carls who looked at him did not die.
dead to be exact.
I even gave up on everything.
But at some point it started to come alive again.
Exactly, that stranger.
After that bastard came, it started to come to life.
The embers of the dying soul began to come alive with a weak wind.
“Why aren’t you giving up?”
Vettel didn't like Carl's like that.
If you become a bug, you should know how to grow like a bug.
You also need to know how to nod your head to say no to things that don't work.
That's the wise way to live in the world.
But this stupid prince wasn't like that.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Even though she was screaming in pain, her eyes were alive and she was glaring at Vettel as if she were going to kill her.
Vettel really didn't like the situation.
“You still think you can win? If that's the case, you're really stupid...”
“Al... ah...!”
that you can't win.
“More than anyone... I...! Whoa...! I know that...!”
Carls shouted in pain.
Carls knew.
That he couldn't beat Vettel.
It's been like that since before.
It was like that even at this moment.
Carls can't beat Vettel.
Even so, the reason he didn't let go of this spear was...
As the crown prince of the empire, Cals was also very talented.
A genius who reached the level of being a sword master at a young age.
To Carls, there was no such thing as a wall as a limit.
You could do it if you wanted to,
and Carl did it without difficulty.
Because he had the background of being a crown prince and the element of talent.
Carls grew up in such an environment.
Then all of a sudden
I met a being named Seojun.
Seojun was stronger than all the beings that Carls had met.
Seo-joon said to Carls, “Heaven above the sky.”
He informed the world of heaven and earth.
And it was a place that Carl could not reach no matter how hard he struggled.
Honestly, I'm going to confess right now.
Cals looked at Seo-jun and despaired.
Despair like never before faced.
In fact, Kals was intoxicated that he would become the sole existence of the Empire.
He knew that he was inferior to the emperor and Bethel.
But I thought I would catch up someday.
Because he had the talent to do that.
Because the Emperor and Vettel hadn't reached this level at their age.
And I confess again.
Even Aren, the Grand Master, can catch up someday.
Carls thought so.
however.
It wasn't Seojun.
its overwhelming strength.
no matter how imaginable
No matter how distant the future is,
not drawn
The image of himself that surpasses Seo-jun.
Carls actually felt more of a sense of despair than of awe towards Seo-jun.
Still, he didn't show off.
However, Seo-joon seemed to know that fact.
Seojun once said something like this to Carls.
‘Carls, there is someone similar to you in our team. Lee Ha-yoon was a bit less fortunate than you, but...'
Seo-joon shouted as if he had suddenly remembered.
‘Come to think of it, in many ways, you are similar to me, right? You two seem to get along well. When this is over and I go back to Earth, would you like me to introduce you? don't you have a girlfriend So the Crown Princess?'
‘...... yes?'
‘Ah, it's not easy to meet because the dimensions are separated... But isn't it because of the abnormal phenomenon unfolding in Astelgia now? The Observer has been banished, and if the anomaly here is over, it might be easier to move between dimensions... Hmm. I'll have to ask Aren about this. You have a lot of money anyway, don't you?'
Seojun muttered something incomprehensible to himself.
‘Whatever.'
Seojun continued with his unique playful expression.
‘It doesn't matter how strong a blow you can land. In fact, life is a melee after all. Even if you take that strong blow, you move forward little by little. Keep moving forward even if you get hit and hit. That's the real strength.'
Carls looked blankly at Seo-joon.
‘There will be many things for you in the future. Sometimes you'll encounter enemies you can't handle, and other times you'll encounter opponents you can't seem to beat.'
‘In that case... what should I do?'
Seojun smiled and replied.
‘What should I run away for? I can't win, so what should I do?'
‘......'
Carls had nothing to say.
It was because it sounded like there were walls that couldn't be crossed anyway.
And that...
Carls lowered his head involuntarily.
and above it.
‘But sometimes.'
I heard Seojun's low voice.
‘There are fights that cannot be escaped.'
stupid mind.
‘When the time comes, always keep that in mind, Carls. In a fight that can never be won, in a fight that has no way, there is no way to win, but there is only one way not to lose.'
Carls slowly raised his head.
There, Seojun made his unique expression and continued talking.
‘Not ending the fight.'
Seojun smiled round and round.
‘Because sometimes people who thought they were nothing do things that no one else could do.'
.
.
.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Cals continued to let out a terrible scream.
The whole body feels like it's going to break.
The flickering spirit was crying out to be released immediately.
But Carls did not let go.
I don't know.
I really don't know.
It's just... it's just...
blah!
In an instant, a weak force began to emanate from Carl's whole body.
At the same time, the power that bound Cals instantly dissipated.
“......!”
Vettel opened his eyes in amazement at the sudden change of momentum of Carls.
I thought it was over, but...
I wonder if there was still enough strength left.
“Stupid.”
Still, it was there.
Vettel calmly raised her sword.
At the same time, a pitch-black world unfolds.
It ends here.
Although it was a pity not to see Carl's despairing expression, it wasn't anymore.
End this annoying situation as soon as possible.
Vettel lightly swung her sword at Calth.
It became a huge slash and aimed at the scruff of Carl's neck.
I love you so much!!
approaching death.
In front of that death, Carls couldn't understand himself.
I know I can't...
but I don't know.
I really don't know.
So Carls... trudged.
I couldn't understand the steps I was taking now.
only once.
Just once.
It's okay if I can't do it again.
Kwap!
Just this one time.
Ka-ang!
Carl's spear flows.
It's late to understand.
The feeling of the hand holding the window is unfamiliar.
gaze a little lower.
Great!
“What is this...!”
Vettel's dismayed voice.
In the meantime, the illusion of Seo-jun passes by.
Before going to face the primeval evil.
the eyes you saw on yourself.
‘Leave the back.'
Did those eyes really mean this?
Master must have known that he wouldn't be able to defeat Vettel.
What did Master see in me?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Just the feeling of holding the window suddenly feels strange.
I don't feel any tactile feeling in my hands gripping the spear.
The illusion that time slows down?
strange.
the steps you are taking now.
swinging window.
It is awkward.
this feeling now.
My heart moves like a gust of wind.
I can not know. Would you say you enjoyed this experience?
I don't know either.
Master... did you do this?
No, a little more than this...
A spear that shoots.
A definite sense, a definite sense.
Feel it in your hand.
It is an unconscious, not conscious, action.
what kind of sincerity.
and.
Kwa—- Jik!
Vettel's chest was pierced by a spear.
Vettel hesitated and took a few steps back.
Understanding is a beat late.
“How...?”
Vettel looked down at her chest in disbelief.
Calth's spear, which had pierced his chest, was protruding beyond Vettel's back.
Vettel opened her mouth to speak again, but all that came out was blood.
Vettel, who continued to vomit blood, looked at Carls with trembling eyes.
“How the hell…?”
short question.
however.
dump.
Carls, who was supposed to give an answer, collapsed on the floor helplessly.
Clink.
Vettel's sword in his hand fell powerlessly.
At the same time, the unfolding world of darkness began to disappear at once.
#
〔This is nonsense!!!!!!〕
Primordial evil shouted as if screaming.
A part of oneself that has crumbled and disappeared.
It was an unwinnable situation.
It was a situation that could not be won no matter what the situation was.
But Vettel was defeated.
As a result, Vettel, where her existence dwelled, was defeated by a mere worm.
Something that could never have happened happened.
Therefore, there are no more safeguards.
[This can't be like this. This is...!]
“Did you think I wouldn't know that?”
At that moment, I heard the chilly voice of Seo-joon.
Where I looked, Seo-joon was trudging forward.
In the appearance of such Seo-jun, the ancient evil was known at once.
Seojun knew from the beginning.
That primordial evil cannot be eradicated unless Bethel is killed.
However, Seo-joon entrusted Vettel to Carls.
In the first place, the primeval evil wouldn't even let Seo-jun's intervention stand still.
So it was practically no different than an over fight.
predetermined destiny.
From the moment Seo-jun arrived in an incomplete state, the fate of the end was decided.
however.
But how!!
Kwakkwakkwakkwakkwakkwakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkwa!!!
space is divided
Transcendent thundercloud.
gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The magic power of the source of the explosion tore apart in all directions.
Even space cannot withstand the force and is distorted hideously.
The space is covered in blue without even chaos.
[Oh no... I can't do this...! It can't be like this!!]
In front of that terrible power, the primeval evil showed red eyes.
for a moment.
Horrible?
The ancient evil shuddered involuntarily.
It was because the concept of ‘terrible' was a concept that only came from himself.
source of evil.
It is definitely an emotion born from oneself.
However, that emotion now returned to the mother and gnawed at her.
〔Let's say it! It's still incomplete power!〕
The ancient evil shouted out as if in a fit of rage.
At the same time, the magic of evil stains the entire world.
Seojun calmly faced all of these things.
yet.
Seojun slowly thrust out Longinus's spear.
The small light at the tip of the window swallows everything it passes through.
A huge wave of murderous intent that seemed to crush the entire world.
A source of terrifying power that far transcends units.
It was only for a moment that I felt it, but
the primeval evil was momentarily overwhelmed by its unknown power.
And again.
When the point at which the Spear of Longinus started reached its end again.
A long fight that has started from the beginning.
A story from the beginning.
It's the end of the story.
The starting point of a new story.
beyond transcendence.
Thousand Moon Meteor Spear.

[No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
It was newly created.
