Chapter 701 – The King of Two Ages (2)

The current of magical energy that permeates the tower is reversed.

– Coo-goo-goo.

It is as if atmospheres with different atmospheric pressures met and tossed each other. Two types of aura that create a strange flow and become entangled.

A heavy, soggy gray energy sweeps across the floor.
On the contrary, the black aura I possessed covered the sky.

The reason why my power took the top spot was not whose power was higher, but the plan to prevent casualties.

The disorganized magical power, which does not know where to go, can easily take the lives of civilians with its weight alone.
Unlike me, he doesn’t know how to control his strength.
Only by gaining the upper hand can I prevent those who will be sacrificed under the weight of my bloated magic power.

-Thud.

It was heavy when he moved his feet.
I feel like I’m wearing huge shackles.

“──.”

It is undeniable that he entered with penalties in many ways compared to his strength.
No matter how unreasonable he is, he is King Mokryeong.

The finished being that I should have followed. Although imperfect… He was a giant whose vigilance could not be lowered.

Fortunately, the beast is still wearing a mask.

The momentum is strong, but the attack radius is clearly visible. I was convinced that I could pass the time without any problems.

– Fit!

A brief moment when the clouds brushed against the sun and the rays of light were cut off. The king who hit the ground attacked him aiming for his neck.

Two branches flying together from the shoulder blades, and an awl-like weapon growing from the back of the hand.
The weapon of the tree, stained with a matte finish as if it had been painted with oil, was pointed at me.

-Tadak!!

First of all. Cut off flying branches one by one.

When I raised my concentration, everything slowed down slowly, starting with my body movements, and I judged and acted on time within the time split into seconds.

– Parbat!

Waves of magical power rushing like a tidal wave.
With the lack of mana like now, just being swept away could cause serious injuries.

The basis of martial arts is to get away from the opponent’s unleashed qi.
However, now I was in a situation where I had to protect this area.

– Slurr.

It bends and winds mana around the elbow to create a counter-current.

The king’s mana was scattered in the actions he performed reflexively without any hesitation, creating a close environment where mana could not invade.

It’s simple from here on out.
All you have to do is beat the guy who came into your arms.

After narrowly dodging an excellent but still distant attack. He bent his body and thrust his fists in turn, starting from the abdomen.

Hit from below and climb up
Stomach and stomach. As he hit the neck and chin in turn, the king’s eyes turned even redder.

-Pababababat!

The thrilling sensation of a blow in the fist.
I grabbed the back of the fallen shadow’s neck and pulled it over, covering its face with the palm of my hand.

Replaces the mana of the thinly sliced ​​palm with demonic energy, and explodes at close range from the king’s face.

-Pop!

As Magi woke up with the petals and completely covered the king’s face, a scream came out.
The pale skin of the corpse is visible above the peeling shadows.

“Kkehiiri!?”

As if to protect itself, the excessive weaving of stems wrapped around my head quickly distanced itself from me.
I maintain a posture that is no different from before. I adjusted my breathing.

‘… Also.’

Clench your hands to make a fist. Feel the hot blood flowing through your veins, and measure the transmitted magic power and power.

Has grown

I knew it only when I decided to stick with it. My skills that I couldn’t confirm from the bottom of the tower.
It felt like carrying the life force of the king of trees, facing him, and increasing the potential in all fields.

‘I thought I had reached the end…’

A feeling of excitement permeated my body.
Calculate each one and get away from the movements that are shown… A feeling of rising.

A reflexive habit I felt a long time ago is about to wake up.

– Dig!!

This time too.
The king is coming

I let my body move in the heat for a while.

I leave it to my instincts and respond to the attack of the one that arrived in an instant.
Two branches flying on either side of the face.
Normally, I would have destroyed it in an evasive way, but I raised my hand and grabbed it.

“… !”

A whirlwind of strong magical energy tried to pierce my palm, but it was blocked from entering and I was caught.

Instantly condenses mana in the palm of your hand to increase the durability of your body.
The Authority of [Sturdy] That I received a long time ago shone.

Dark red, ugly hands.
Grabbing a branch and breaking the king’s posture, he spun around and hooked his heel around the king’s neck.

【 Remodeling of the waterwheel · First wheel 】

– Whirik!

The king’s shadow suddenly spins and crashes into the torrent of his magic power, crashing into the ground.

【 Yeonhwan (連環) bush clover 】

The king’s body raised his head in a seizure.
He was hit on the head by a kick that drew a winding branch, and he lost his strength and drooped.

“…”

A shadow cracked as if the upper was peeling off. The stretched corpse wriggled unresponsively.
Having trampled on the former king’s head, I had no time to check his condition.

The pitch that has just continued is far off in my calculations.
The body that followed his instincts, and the momentum of the mana ejected reflexively, were all beyond imagination.

In response to the skill that was inhaled, ridicule came out.

‘… Was there still room for growth?’

It feels like a clogged blood has been pierced.

I’ve had this feeling before.
The time when my martial arts were not yet in order.
Even then, there were many repulsive actions that I was instinctively aware of.

【 Do you know that? Heh, stupid guy. It’s proof that you’re growing up. 】

The first Heavenly Demon said.

In martial arts, where knowing one’s own vessel is the first priority, there is no need for an act devoured by instinct.
Paradoxically, however, he said that instinct is the only opportunity for growth.

【What kind of bullshit is that? 】
【Stand still. 】

The moment when an action completely different from calculation suddenly comes to mind. You have to make up your own judgment or make it your own.

Only those who control the variables and results are true warriors who have reached the highest level.

I also followed a similar path to complete my body.

‘Strange.’

Awaken all instinctive actions.
I regained my cool by knowing.

The moment when I am confident that I can control the variables my instincts cause.
I have finally reached the bottom of my potential.

How strong can I be?
How much more power do you have here?

But now, suddenly, that fund disappeared.

It’s not as open as when I first reached the stage, but… The feeling of having been given a clue.

– Kwak.

Confusing though. I didn’t expect to overwhelm my opponent to this extent.
I looked at the shadow of the former king who couldn’t get out of the shock.

-Wriggling, wriggling.

As if to protect the body, a shadow rolled up in the trunk of a tree that does not reflect light.
Eyeballs rolling from below swept across my face.

After struggling for a while on the floor, he realized that he would not be able to get out.
An electrical sound flowed into my ears.

─Give up.

A man’s voice, exhausted from pain and sorrowful.

‘Was he conscious?’

For such a thing, the attack was too ignorant.
I paid attention to the words the shadow conveyed.

The shadow seemed to find it too difficult to continue the words in stuttering, and continued to speak with struggle.

—Ah, martial arts.

Deuk.

The ground around me cracks, and the dislodged soil and stones rise up to my waist.

──I can’t handle this power.

Emotions bursting through every word. I felt anger, regret, and frightened sadness at the same time.
Look again. It was as if he was repeating himself rather than talking to me.

─At the line of baggage… This, damn it… The bridle… !!!

Coo coo coo-

Growing power.
A crown floated over his head.

One eye of the king also swelled up. Then, unable to withstand the pressure, it exploded.

– Pot.

Blood splatters. One of my legs was covered in blood from its eyeball.
The one-eyed guy glared at me with mad eyes.

─No one can finish it.

Goose bumps on the back and lower back.
A life without direction engulfs the entire tower.

It was close to madness.
It was a trace of agony that neither I, nor the nobles, nor the subjects could fathom.
It was a strong will and strong conviction to deny one’s own shackles.

─I am. It’s over, pay… !!!

A woman’s scream is overlaid on the man’s voice.

The pressure that comes from the will.
The voices of men and women I wouldn’t understand invade her head.

He frowned from the headache, and his arms relaxed for a moment.
The moment my magic power was briefly scattered around. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the king exploded with force and burst out of my restraints.

-Pajijijik!

The liquid-like body crawls toward the village in an instant.

Did he decide that he couldn’t face me right now?
It was obvious that the action was to absorb life force.

I looked at the high-ranking nobles, including Rex, who had been watching us before chasing him.

“Are you satisfied? By reviving the king you serve in that way.”

Strict scum that is no different from a fanatic.
At my contempt, Rex calmly brainwashed himself.

“As long as you absorb enough of the lives of your subjects, your Majesty will be revived. That was His Majesty’s will. You will never understand.”

I had no desire to understand.
Now it’s my turn to speak.
All the same, guys won’t understand my words.

“It was always forced.”
“…”
“No matter what I tried, it was blocked.”

The nobles, including Rex, frowned and raised their magical powers.

“… What are you saying.”

The former king must have had a twisted story like mine.
Like the lovers next to me, each of them would have their own convictions.
If I die If they can save me, what kind of judgment will Se-young or Dal-rae make?
I don’t feel like giving up like I do.

In the end, each situation is a law. It’s none of my business.
If you want to take care of that, you don’t know the subject.

Maybe trying to distinguish between good and evil itself… It may be that my mind is devastated.
I realized that long ago.

I stomped my foot lightly.

-Puong!

The gust of magical power created a hole in the chest of the nobleman on either side of Rex.
Rex did not look sideways at the aristocrat who collapsed in disbelief.

I told him

“Your attitude toward the king is wrong. Rex Begonia.”

The spirited surroundings swayed, and I ignored their circumstances. I made an arrogant recommendation.

“If you bow your head even now, I’ll buy you a high level of competence and save your life.”
“…”

Rex couldn’t answer.
The complex-faced man pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

A sign of clear refusal, even though he was overpowered by the flag so much that he couldn’t open his mouth.

I didn’t read the comments and moved along with the king’s energy.

* * * * * * * * * * *

The man who was unsightly and felt like a small man was overpowering the former king.

‘…’

The inside of Lee Si-heon.
The factor hiding in a very deep place was watching it with a complicated face.

‘Why is that?’

Emotions are felt.
From the spirit that was connected, the feelings that were considered pitiful began to come back.

Affection for many families. A heart that cares for your lover and the person you embrace.
From the slightly twisted black heart to the sexual desire planted by the crown.
All returned to themselves.

Son of Man just looked back at the feelings he felt he was about to die from.
Things I thought were difficult.
He had suffered endlessly up until now, and even twisted his own personality and emotions.

Why did you save me The first thing that catches my eye is… Those were the past.

Lee Si-heon’s past that he has experienced indirectly while together.
There, the argument came to see the memory of the moment when they were separated for a while.

[I can hear?]

The Son of Man’s eyes widened.

“…”

Yourself in another world.
Therefore. It must have been a factor Lee Si-heon gained while fighting hardships.

[In his memory… Someday. I hope you come back and look at me.]

The argument of the future whispers.
With a face that looked much more scarred than himself, he took off his clothes one by one.

‘Scar.’

From her face to the tips of her toes, the future woman was left with countless ugly marks.
Her body, which had completely lost her recovery power, showed entwined thread marks even in her pubic area.

How harshly was it treated?
Her eyes, muttering something, were unfocused.

She suffered from a long period of psychosis and she seems to have regained her stability for a while. She gasped hard and spoke to her past self.

[… Are you watching?]

Watching.

[Weren’t you surprised?]

She was embarrassed, but thought she could.

If the crown’s power goes out of control several times, the Son of Man will one day lose his life and change like that.
Even if you don’t get abused, the future you don’t want to be set.

[If you are watching, listen. Before that person is broken yet.]

Things the Son of Man could not sympathize with.
Innumerable Lee Si-heon’s worries passed behind the argument.

The argument from the future stretched out several stories for her past self.
In that world, Siheon Lee lost his daughter and went crazy, so he didn’t give his hands to claiming her power.
If she refused, she was tortured and even made an object of sexual desire.
Arja easily put other unimaginable things into her mouth.

‘…’

So. What do you want to say?
Do you mean to meet the person’s demands and even lower your head?

Inza, still understanding nothing, continued her own story through her blank eyes.

[Meantime. It was hard.]

She doesn’t know empathy.

[… You… I need that person.]

She grew up unable to communicate with anyone, and her young mind thinks only of herself.

But.
What if you had the same experience?

[I understand. You might look a little immature… If it is you, you may be disappointed.]

The heart that Ja himself felt while watching Lee Si-heon.
At the words that pierced it, the hardened head of the factor of man began to crack.

[You waited a long time. Right.]
“… Huh.”

A warm word that she unknowingly answers.

[It was very painful.]
“It hurt.”
[Especially… When a headache comes. When it hurts too much You were very lonely.]
“That’s right. It was.”

She was finally able to hear the words that even her parents hadn’t told her.
The Son of Man’s words became small, and sorrow formed.

“… Very, very hard on me I hated being in a place where no one talked. You know that.”

A scarred face reflected on the screen.
How much despair and frustration she must have tasted. Such thoughts flowed through the Son of Man’s brain.

Sympathy.
A feeling she never had.

Her future self, staring at the screen without saying anything, smiled shyly as she waited for her fate to die soon.

Her words are cut off, and her memories are finalized.

“You also…”

Many. It would have been hard

The weeping argument clenched her fists. Her chin quivers and she gets goosebumps.
Then, when she opened her own palm and looked at it, she saw her own hand, whose blood had disappeared before she knew it, and her factor cried for a long time.

Compared to outside.
It was very cozy here to talk to myself.

A place where you can peek into someone’s memory rather than a place where you waited alone.

“More, tell me.”
[…]
“Because I will listen too… Listen to me.”

I wish there was someone who would listen to my story.

Even though you are yourself In the first feeling of sympathy with others, Inza did not know what to do.

“Stay with me… Huh?”

However, he was already vacant.
A still face was the end of the conversation.

“Please… Please.”

For the future me who must have met death, Son of Man felt the greatest sorrow.
