Chapter 2214 – 2214. Dark Moon

In the afternoon, people gathered one by one at the hunting ground. Princess Elsa and the nobles and businessmen who follow her. And invited reporters. Including the mercenaries hired by the maids and butlers who escorted and served them, there were a total of over 300 people.

Yuria and Rita held their breath and watched the hunting ground in the forest. Soon the sun set, and a black moon rose in the sky. The moon is darker than the night sky. Dark Moon.

“There are no suspicious people. Let’s carry out our mission. “Follow me.”

Yuria quietly followed Rita.

We arrived at a place with strangely shaped cliffs 4 km away from the hunting ground. Below there was a dense forest of trees.

Kyaaaaa!

A loud echo welcomed them. Rita looked down and clicked her tongue.

“It’s not good. I was directly influenced by Dark Moon. “There are ghosts below.”

“Even if it were a dark moon, would it still stimulate you this much?”

“No way. This is someone cleverly using the power of the Dark Moon. There must be a moon rock down there.”

Moon rock. A stone that fell from the moon. On days when the dark moon rises, this moon stone also turns black and has a negative impact on the surroundings.

Naturally, moon rocks are subject to special management around the world. International law also stipulates that moon rocks must be recovered and sealed. It was impossible to destroy the moon rock by force.

“Shouldn’t a government agency step forward and retrieve the moon rock?”

“Council doesn’t do much outside of neo-London. Her Royal Highness is nearby, but… Because the dark moon is up, help can’t come. There is no way to avoid it because it is a matter that puts Her Majesty’s reputation at stake. But we can’t leave risk factors alone. Because the worst could happen.”

“Even if we find the moon rock, can we seal it?”

Rita took out her small string from her pocket.

“It’s a magic tool of the sealing technique. With this, you can seal the moon rock. Come on, let’s go.”

Rita hung a rope on the cliff and handed it to Yuria. They went down as if running, relying on a single rope.

Rita moved forward without hesitation through the forest where the ghosts appeared. Shade? When her silenced pistol burst into flames, the ghost disappeared.

“What does the holy bullet taste like that Baguettes forged with holy water, prayed for, and blessed?”

Rita, who was eliminating the dead, stopped.

Suddenly, Yuria’s presence disappeared. She closed her mouth and let her vibes out. I didn’t feel like she was popular.

‘Disappeared in an instant without any warning? Is it a trick of a ghost? Or is it the act of the culprit? Could it be that what they were targeting was Yuria Grace and not Her Highness the Princess?’

Rita’s feet became faster.

The wind doesn’t blow.

The sound of insects has disappeared.

The clouds in the night sky don’t even move.

Yuria, who had some understanding of her time and space, realized that time had stopped.

Time in the world has stopped. That would not be true. Because she doesn’t have Rita in front of her. She gently touched a nearby leaf. I can feel the texture of the leaves. Even if she pulls the leaf with force, it doesn’t come off. The leaves are crumpled, but when she lifts her fingers, Wondae-rae comes back as if nothing had happened.

‘Time and time. I feel like I’m stuck in that gap.’

Yuria raised her head and looked at the sky.

Her ominous black moon looks down on her. Is it because of my mood? In this stopped time, it seems like the ominous black moon has not stopped.

‘Is the enemy coming?’

She is an enemy who has trapped herself in a gap between time and time. Would she have done such a troublesome thing if her intention was to kill herself? Perhaps there is another purpose.

‘Is your goal to destroy sanity?’

On top of a cliff with a clear view of the forest. At the end of it, a black man wearing civilian clothes was sitting cross-legged. Cassing, with his hands clasped together, looked straight ahead. His eyes saw something other than a forest.

“Did you succeed?”

Behind Kasing, Becky, a woman with short purple hair tied in twintails, spoke. There were scars on her left arm, wearing a maid uniform, that looked like they had been cut with a knife.

“Succeded. Trapped in a gap between time and time. It’s thanks to the ghosts taking the time.”

“Well, it’s no different from the end. “The flow of time is different, so 1 second here is 1 million seconds there?”

“Okay. 1 second is 11 days. “30 seconds have passed, so a year has already passed in that space.”

Because time stood still, there was no chance of starving to death there. Suicide was also impossible. Because the body doesn’t change. Don’t starve to death. You will not feel any physical desire, including the desire to sleep.

Even if Kasing is a level 7 or higher, I can guarantee that he will not be able to last long in that space.

“What is she doing? The security chief went west. Let’s take her out and brainwash her. “Your spirit hasn’t completely collapsed, right?”

“You’re training with a dagger. … She is meditating now. Is she staring at the ground?”

“What are you saying?”

“The flow of time is so overwhelmingly different that it is difficult to understand. My spirit doesn’t seem to have broken down yet. “I’ll have to wait a little longer.”

Becky looked at Kasing’s head. Short black hair. Between them, white gray hairs were appearing sparsely.

He and she are demon contractors. You can use the power of the devil through a contract. However, you cannot use it carelessly. It requires a price. In Kasing’s case, the more he uses his strength, the more rapidly he ages.

“Are you okay?”

“No problem. Today is the day the dark moon rises. “My strength and yours become stronger than usual.”

5 minutes have passed.

Kasing, who was in his 20s, looked significantly older than he was in his 50s.

Yuria did not sit idle by. Because time stopped for her body her, but time for her mind her she did not. In some ways, she was lucky enough to be able to practice. She happens to have a dagger.

She waved her dagger around and then shook her head.

‘As expected, physical training won’t have much meaning. At best, it’s just a matter of getting a feel for it.’

No matter how much you train, your body will not change.

Yuria knew she could use mana. She can also swing sword energy and fly. The problem is that it means nothing. Even if she uses her mana to blow sword energy, she cannot cut down a single leaf. Because time has stopped, there is no change. Even if she consumes mana, the next moment she returns to the original amount.

There is no change.

This frozen world is simply forcing Yuria into her spiritual submission.

She wants to drive herself crazy.

However, Yuria did not go crazy. She couldn’t go crazy. The absolute spirit she received from his master did not allow him. Even if eons pass, her spirit will not be worn down to the slightest dust.

‘There is a way out.’

She adjusted her brooch.

She is able to escape this place with the power of the brooch gifted to her by Eugene, the power of concept severance. Since she was already aware of the concept of space and time, it was entirely possible.

But it didn’t happen.

For her, this was an opportunity to become stronger quickly.

‘Because I discovered that no one stopped except me.’

Her gaze turned downward.

Shadow.

Only the shadow was responding to her every move.

‘The black moon hasn’t stopped. The moon is darker than the night sky, but it shines. Even if it’s black, the moon is still the moon.’

Thanks to this, the environment for training has been adjusted.

Yuria sat down in her seat, crossed her legs, and concentrated her mind. What she comes to mind is the Yeongcheon style of Yeongcheon Qigong (影天氣功).

‘The foundation of Yeongcheon-ryu is Taegeuk. Yeongcheon-ryu’s noegwang represents yang energy, and Yeongcheon-ryu’s umyeong represents yin energy.’

It was also the reason why Eugene couldn’t deal with the shadow. Because Eugene has the energy of polar opposites. His endless energy will also be affected. No, on the contrary, it may be that the energy is enormous because the stamina is high.

‘Daejongsa, who founded Yeongcheon-ryu, probably had no choice but to use Taegeuk. If you look at the techniques of the Yeongcheon style, most of them are compatible with the Amyeong type.’

Too much or too little.

If the yin energy is too strong or the yang energy is too strong, problems arise. Yeongcheon-ryu achieved balance with Taegeuk. It was derived from there that noeungwang was born. However, the lightning was a bonus power. Doesn’t Yeongcheon-ryu’s name mean the sky of shadows?

‘The master is an exception. The master’s Nocheon-ryu can no longer be called Yeongcheon-ryu.’

Eugene’s Nocheon Stream was a mixture of many things, not just Yeongcheon Stream. And there will be more mixing in the future.

‘It doesn’t mean that Yeongcheon-ryu is weak. Yeongcheon Stream has potential. Taegeuk is a possibility. Master Daejong greatly increased the difficulty level of Amyeong by incorporating Taegeuk techniques to balance positive and negative energy, but he gave Yeongcheon-ryu even more potential. The beginning of all things. In other words, infinite possibilities.’

Pajijik.

Black lightning rises from Yuria’s shadow. She frowned. The black lightning just disappeared.

What Yuria wants is not black lightning with the power of destruction. The power to manipulate shadows. Since she could not use magic due to restrictions, she tried to use Yeongcheonryu to awaken her shadow abilities. However, it didn’t go as well as expected.

Several days have passed. Yuria failed repeatedly.

‘It seems like you don’t have enough strength. I think we should dismantle and limit Taegeuk myori.’

She didn’t mind chopping up and remodeling Yeongcheon Ryu. In the first place, this is crazy. Because my body can’t stand it. But this is a space in frozen time. Even if you want to die, you can’t. It’s the perfect place for experiments.

It had been 247 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes and 50 seconds since I was trapped in the gap in time.

Her will was conveyed through her brooch.

-I can’t watch it. Why don’t you go out when you can?

Yuria looked at her brooch. Since she is made of devil horns, is she the devil’s whisperer?

“… It feels strangely familiar. “Is it a cherry tree?”

-That’s right. You took care of me. I was happy because they were very attentive. On the other hand, that bastard is too rough. Because there is no detailed consideration. Still, they accept it because it feels good to touch and provides good quality electricity.

“He is your master. “Be polite.”

-This is ridiculous. Do you know that you are in danger right now?

“Are you in danger? I’m fine. There are no injuries anywhere. You can’t get hurt here.”

Yuria says she doesn’t do anything unreasonable unless it’s related to Eugene. Because her own body is her Eugene’s. Taking care of her body is her duty.

-I’m talking about the spirit. Not only is she trapped, but she’s constantly being exposed to the light of the Dark Moon. I am affected, but wouldn’t you be affected as well?

“… I am okay. Because my spirit is protected by the master’s grace. Can you talk to me… “It was the influence of the Dark Moon.”

-That’s right? It was originally a very small piece of consciousness, but it grew under the influence of the Dark Moon. And I am also blocking the power of the devil wriggling within this brooch.

“Is it connected to the main body?”

-No. If I leave this space, it will be connected to the main body, right? Well, I’m like an alter ego, so my ego will disappear. No. Should I say I’m going back? Are you disappointed?

“I was relieved. There is no need to worry the owner about trivial things. “I will report today separately.”

-… How many years do you plan on staying here?

“I want to stay until I complete my goal. I was prepared for hundreds of years, but since I have the brooch, it will only take a few decades. The power of the brooch is to cut off concepts… Wouldn’t it be possible to create new concepts by breaking them down into smaller pieces?”

-What kind of crazy idea are you coming up with?

“The power to control shadows. “I’d like to try making this skill.”

-This ability is not the domain of humans. Even transcendent beings cannot understand… It’s God’s domain.

“I know. I don’t know about anything else, but as far as the shadow is concerned… It will be possible. Originally, I tried to pay attention to safety and develop my strength slowly… Luckily, the environment was right. It will save time.”

-You. Do you have any intention of going out at all? Don’t you want to see your proud master?

“I miss you so much. But you can endure it. Because I am recalling memories with my master over and over again in my brain. “I can hold on because I know this is not the end.”

-Crazy bitch.

“Hehe.”

-Why are you smiling all of a sudden?

“My master and I just got married.”

-You have never been married. Now it’s not a memory, it’s a delusion. You haven’t really gone crazy, have you?
