Episode 317 – Academy (50)

“Why not run a host bar? “I think it will go well.”

Cabrox’s face, which had been sober, was distorted like a murderous beast. A dark energy swirled behind him.

I laughed while looking at it. He deliberately flicked the tip of his sword frivolously.

“Is it because we were born as a clan that lives together? “You have a pretty face, so you must be popular with customers.”

Even Adrian looks at me with a frown at my blatant and frivolous provocation. The King of Dream Demons stared at me with a cold face.

“…Keep trying.”

It was as if he was going to see how far he could go, but he didn’t stop. Whatever authority he had here was meaningless to me.

“Oh, if you don’t like host bars, I guess gay bars would be fine. “If you spread your ass to those pigs…”

My tongue danced. Would anyone who was born a king hear such vulgar words?

Puzzle.

As he was mocking the shaking Cabrox, Adrian’s voice rang in his head.

-You. Even though this place is a dream, isn’t it scary? A dream demon is a being that feeds on dreams. If you realize that this place isn’t real, you’ll go crazy. I don’t know what kind of scar it will leave on you.

Adrian’s serious tone made me pause. Now, I wasn’t afraid of Cabrox.

‘No way, I did it…’

I thought it was strange from the moment he stared blankly into space. It was as if I realized that this was a dream world.

-Did you know?

-What do you mean? That this place isn’t real? Or that I died a long time ago? It’s a little bitter, but I don’t mind.

-Hmm···.

-It’s rather fortunate. Now that I have a chance to finish something I couldn’t finish properly.

I didn’t know what to answer. His whole voice continued.

-From what I see, your sword seems to be quite sharp. I’ll catch that guy so I can finish it off.

Adrian’s words were a little strange.

‘My sword is sharp? ‘What are you looking at?’

It didn’t seem like he was doing that after seeing the sword he had just swung. Because I didn’t get a single wound.

‘···Surely four days? ‘How do you know that?’

It’s never been used in the dream world. His voice was full of confidence.

After thinking about it, he nodded. He guessed it might be protection or the power of a trait. There wasn’t enough time to think about what had happened.

‘The goddess’s power is running out.’

Golden dust constantly poured from the bracelet. It didn’t stop as if there was a hole in it. The flowing anti-gold liquid rapidly decreased.

‘There are 5.5 squares left.’

For a short time while provoking Kabrax, the space was reduced by 0.5 spaces. It wasn’t without meaning. Thanks to this, the attitude of the guy who was trying to run away changed.

His eyes turned blood-red and his fingernails grew longer. He was full of thoughts of killing me.

“How dare a lower race…!”

My skin tingled. My intestines were aching from the typical way of living. A Hyun-kyung-level being began to have an impact on reality simply by harboring murderous intent.

‘At least I will kill myself.’

The leader of the tribe mocked the entire tribe. There was no way I could bear it. This would be even more so if they thought they were a superior race.

I mocked him with my mouth and checked my plan in my head.

I examined the remaining power of the goddess in the bracelet. She made a rough estimate. How many times will she be able to swing the sword in the future?

‘Twice···? ‘No.’

I grabbed the hilt of the cold sword. The cool metal soothed his head. It didn’t matter how much she could swing.

‘It’s just once anyway.’

The moment when the first missile is fired. That was my first and last opportunity. Even if I could swing it twice, it was meaningless. Because a Hyun-kyung-level being wouldn’t be hit by the same move twice.

“···.”

My mouth, which had been constantly moving, stopped. Provocation was meaningless anymore.

The battlefield has suddenly become quiet.

The moment when the leaves flying in the wind obscured the view.

Whoops!

The battle has begun.

-I will deal with you, so take advantage of the opportunity!

The two transcendents collided and the air began to distort. What on earth is causing such a phenomenon?

I narrowed my eyebrows.

A natural disaster unfolds before your eyes. There’s a storm coming, but I can’t see clearly. I can barely feel the aftereffects.

Qarring!

Cabrox, who was fighting Adrian, glared at me.

“You guys wait there. I will cut off your limbs and use you as a stallion. Mating with beasts for the rest of your life and resenting their vulgar words and actions.”

Be confident that you will never get tired of it. It shows the arrogant confidence that only someone who was born a monster can have.

He laughed at that and said:

“I predict that you will soon run away like a dog.”

I had so much pride that I couldn’t even think about running away. For me, the worst thing is to be kicked out of the dream world before I kill him.

Quaaaaang!

Cabrox’s eyes in battle become increasingly red.

‘Hmm···?’

The once vivid fight becomes increasingly distant. My sense of reality became blurred, as if I was watching a movie.

That’s what I thought as I was staring blankly. It is a fight between beasts, not humans. The same goes for Adrian. Although he looks human, he has already shed a layer of skin.

The sword I had looked shabby. Short dagger. No matter how much I stretch, it feels like I can’t reach it.

An ominous energy whispers.

[It is natural that humans cannot stand against wild beasts. Run away quickly and save your life.]

Emotions are ultimately a function of hormones. Cold sweat broke out and his fingertips trembled slightly. An unexpected fear rises from my body.

‘···Was there such a weakness in mental protection?’

Body and mind are inseparable. When suffering from illness, even the most disciplined person becomes irritable.

The emotions that started in my body spread to my mind.

‘That’s funny.’

The moment I noticed something was wrong, all my tricks lost their meaning. I completely ignored all the signals my body was sending.

They are wild beasts and I am a human. That’s funny.

I also have a sharp sword. That’s enough.

Intuition informed by foresight told me when the time was right.

‘Four days.’

The brilliant sun wrapped around the blade of the sword.

When Adrian reaches out his hand, the world stops. From the fluttering dust to the clouds in the sky. Like a video where you press pause. It stopped tall.

In a world where everything has stopped. Only me and Adrian moved.

-Now!

Cabrox creaking and moving little by little. I extended my sword towards the guy. The energy of the four days was contained in the sword made by burning salt.

Sailgeomgang (射日劍罡): Gwancheon (貫天).

The light that started from the tip of the sword pierced the sky.

Rumbling…!

A loud noise rang out later. The world that had stopped began to flow.

Starting from the side to the shoulder. Cabrox, whose entire upper body has disappeared, looks down at his solar plexus. A place where even the heart has disappeared and is completely empty.

“Her.”

He was about to say something but closed his mouth. I looked at his burning body with a serious expression.

Suddenly!

There wasn’t even a second of hesitation. I cut off my own head.

At the same time the guy’s upper body turned to ash. Cabrox’s head pops! It exploded. Dark red blood splashed in all directions.

[I will definitely take revenge!]

Faaah!

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of blood drops split the sky. I had no pride or anything. Because his life was in danger, he immediately fled.

“Where are you running away from?”

Adrian stretched out his hand.

The blood drops that had been scattering all over the heavens and earth suddenly stopped. The blood that had already disappeared beyond the horizon is returning. The same was true for the pieces of flesh that fell with a patter.

Clap! Clap!

Flesh and blood clumped together in the air. Before I knew it, the bright red lump of flesh had returned to a healthy head. It came back to life as if time had turned back.

Cabrox, who burst his head and ran away, was caught in the air. Adrian said, turning pale.

“Whoosh! Look… That sword just now. “Can I ask you to do one more favor with that head?”

It gave off a feeling of hardship. His voice trembled as if he was carrying a heavy object.

At the same time, Kabrax’s head twitched slightly. It vibrated slightly as if it was trying to escape from its restraints.

[This..Profit..! Stop it! Are you really saying this is the end?! If you kill me, you won’t be safe either!]

The sound of persistent struggling rang through the air.

‘···Could it be that this is why I was cursed?’

Although it was prevented from escaping, it seemed difficult to finish. But unlike the original history, I am here.

[Oh, no!! Please-]

Whoops!

Another blast pierced the air. The king of nightmares even his head was destroyed.

“Haha… Did you say Choi Si-woo? Thanks to you, I was able to finish it easily. “If I were alone, it would have been difficult to clean up after myself.”

Adrian was amazed as he looked at the clouds pierced through the four days.

“There is such an energy… Doesn’t it seem as if the concept of extinction has been embodied?”

He said with a serious look on his face.

“It’s an outrageous feeling. “You know better, but that kind of power doesn’t come without a price, so handle it with care.”

Actually, it wasn’t a big problem since I was using it as a skill, but I nodded.

More than that, I was curious about how they captured Cabrox. It was a scenery as if time had stopped.

“How on earth did you do that earlier? “It seemed like time stopped or went back.”

“It’s a power related to my characteristics. There’s nothing I can’t tell you, but I ask you something more important. “You don’t have time.”

Adrian pointed to my left wrist.

Shocked, I looked at his bracelet and saw that there was not even one space left. The sparkling golden liquid is about to dissipate.

‘How on earth did you know?’

I was curious, but I put all my miscellaneous questions aside. I didn’t have time, but it was a waste to ask about this place that I might come back to.

His head spun. The remaining time is 1 to 2 minutes at most. It’s too short for conversation. You won’t even be able to exchange a few words.

After selecting the questions, only one sentence remained. He asked about the most important thing.

“···What should I do to reach 9 stars?”
“Hmm.”

He stroked his chin as if he was thinking about it and then opened his mouth.

“I will live the way I want to live.”
“Yes?”

“Are you surprised that it’s so simple? But I don’t have the talent to explain it in a fancy way. “I don’t really like difficult words.”
“···.”

As I was pondering the meaning, Adrian spoke.

“Match your mind and actions. If you have strength in your mind, there will be no need to distinguish it from your actions. ···No, just forget it. Live the way you want to live. “Because that’s enough.”

“I remember being advised to empty it and throw it away.”

Adrian chuckled.

“That could be one of the ways. Ultimately, it is a process of finding yourself. Your heart is already in your sword, so don’t be impatient. However···”

He hesitated for something before saying.

“···What is that child’s name? How is he doing?”

It was a random question, but I realized the meaning when I saw the expression. Now he is asking about his descendants.

“This is Amelia. These days, I sleep well and am healthy.”

Adrian sighed.

“Thank god. Amelia… It’s a pretty name. Please take good care of that child. “You must have suffered a lot because of me.”

“···Yes.”

“Thank you.”

After his satisfied laughter, the goddess’s strength ran out. The world right in front of me became increasingly distant. With the feeling of being sucked somewhere.

“Ah.”

The moment you blink your eyes. The world has turned upside down again.
