Episode 250
Namgung had a dream every night.
It was a dream from the ti I was with my wife.
“….”
She was soone I missed so much that I was grateful to be able to et her even in my dreams, but at the sa ti, it was also a ti when I realized her death.
It was hard for to tell whether it was a nightmare or a happy dream, but now I know.
“I miss you.”
When Namgoong stretched out his hand, the light behind Somin’s back lightly enveloped him.
Feeling the warmth, he carefully touched the light.
“Dad…”
Namgoong lightly nodded to Somin and Kicheol Nam.
There was no answer, but it was enough.
Nam Ki-cheol held So-min’s hand and stepped back.
“You’ve prepared quite a bit.”
[You guy…]
Klipt’s arms surrounded Namgung.
The hands holding the sword, wand, cup, crystal ball, tree branch, and scale each had their own aning.
‘East, west, south, north, up and down. Each arm symbolizes the six directions. But the most important of them all are the sword and staff, which represent up and down.’
Namgoong quickly rembered the location of the two arms.
‘Once the sword and staff disappear, his techniques are at best no different from those of a rat moving quickly back and forth.’
And if you need to break either the sword or the staff…
the answer is already there.
“I get it because it gets you in the zone. “Of the eight statues, why are you the weakest?”
[What?]
“He’s an ordinary god.”
[…I’ll kill you!!]
Klipt’s six arms aid at Namgung at the sa ti.
Sigh…!!!
At that mont, the summoned As and the huge ax struck away the arms that were aiming at him.
[Give a command.]
A clear voice cos from inside the helt.
As’s appearance changed.
Instead of being a clunky piece of armor, the silver-shining armor and his weapon looked just like they did in the myth.
“There is only one thing to do.”
Kwaang-!!!!
As soon as Namgung’s words left his mouth, As took aim at Klipt’s hand holding the sword.
At the sa ti, the summoned soul soldiers blocked the remaining hands.
[Where…!!]
Damn! Damn it!!
The mont Klipt was about to throw his weapon at the spirit soldiers, a huge vine grew from under his feet and wrapped around his body.
The soul caster’s rune words were heard behind him, and at the sa ti, Natriel slamd into his body with all her might.
[…Huh?!]
Klipt let out a groan due to the unexpected shock.
Despite Natriel’s powerful blow, the spirit mage’s vines were not torn apart, but instead entangled him further.
[To the damn human…!!]
“Do you still think of as a human?”
Klipt could not hide his embarrassnt at the sight of Namgoong suddenly crawling into his arms.
Wow!!
He tried to block his attack, but none of his six arms moved as he wanted.
Namgung’s fist landed directly in Klipt’s cheek.
[Cough…!!]
Klipt’s face turned and he ended up collapsing, hitting his butt in an unsightly manner.
When I looked up, I saw that the arms that had been suppressed by the spirit soldiers were unable to move and were trembling.
[Nonsense…! My six directions can’t use their power against things like that?]
[It’s a sha. Do they still look like ordinary soul soldiers? The title “Six Directions” is ridiculous. You can’t accept change…]
The huge black dragon looked down at Clypt and spoke in a low voice.
[I’m looking at the sky in a narrow well, so I think it’s like seeing in the past.]
[Wilmus ….]
[They are no longer a soul soldier.
]
The breath spurting out of the mouth attacked Clift.
[Those who devoted souls to God.]
[Kaa Aak … !!!]
The screams of the clip were heard in the fla of Breath.
His attacks, imbued with the power of phase rather than simple attribute, are now powerful enough to reach even gods.
[It’s truly the power of phase… I’m
so glad you’ve finally given up on being human.] Klipt began to laugh as if he was having fun even as his breath enveloped his whole body.
[Then it wouldn’t matter if we started a phase war right now!!]
Oh! Bubbbubbuk–!!
The captured arms escaped the spirit soldiers’ grasp and flew into the sky.
When the six arms intertwined to form six nets, a huge magic circle was created underneath them.
▶ The connector of the hexagonal bridge begins a phase war.
▶ The person pointed out is Namgoong.
▶ The winner of the phase battle will be given a new divine na.
▶ Those who are challenged for a phase battle must give up their position if they do not respond.
▶ Challengers in a phase war must pay double the price if they lose.
▶ Would you like to take the challenge?
“You’re impatient. “You know that a challenger in a phase war must take twice the risk, right?”
[It doesn’t matter if you don’t lose. However, I hate it even more when you go astray, contrary to your words. It is sothing that those who are challenged can never avoid. That is phase warfare.]
Namgung looked at him and smiled.
“That’s a problem you have to think about avoiding.”
▶ Namgoong accepted the challenge.
▶ Phase war begins.
“Gung-ah…” As
the magic circle floating above his head spewed out light, Nam Ki-cheol called out to him in an anxious voice.
“Please don’t lose yourself. “I may have crossed a river you shouldn’t have crossed…”
Nam Ki-cheol, who had the power of the Black Root, was destined to beco a carnival monster.
And even now, Carnival was whispering to turn him into a monster.
Anxiety and fear of losing myself.
Because he knew that fear more than anyone else, he couldn’t help but be worried about the fact that his son had beco such a stature.
“It’s okay, Grandpa. “Dad hasn’t changed.”
But unlike him, young Somin spoke with a confident voice.
“I will be back.”
It was funny to be comforted by a girl much younger than himself, but Nam Ki-cheol slowly nodded his head at those words.
“okay. “What kind of guy is that guy?…”
Nam Ki-cheol said, looking at the magic circle that swallowed Namgung.
“There’s no way I can lose to sothing like God.”
* * *
[The location of the phase battle is here… I ended up in an undesirable place.]
“Why? “Do you know this place?”
[This is where I fought for the throne in the past. [This is the battlefield where the survivors of the carnival gathered and once again fought for power.]
When I opened my eyes, there was a small stage set up there.
There was a wall around the stage, but it wasn’t very high.
It seed like it was just for dividing the area and not for blocking or protecting anything.
Thump-thump-thump-
Lights ca on around the stage, as if a light was turned on in the dark, and there were figures standing there.
“It was a place for onlookers.”
Namgung smiled bitterly at the people looking down at him.
[That Klipt guy… he made such a fuss that he would kill the mont he wore the crown. They couldn’t do anything and were just behaving badly at the carnival participants.]
[From what I heard, it looks like the crown’s power was stored in the dwarves’ furnace.]
[It’s a furnace… It’s definitely a place full of dwarves’ grudges, but if they decide to do that, they’ll interfere. It wouldn’t be a place where it couldn’t be done, right?]
[The problem might be that it was Ran who opened the door.]
The conversation between the Aspects was silent for a mont.
They knew instinctively.
Little by little, but surely, the primordial aspects were moving and starting to get involved in the carnival.
[It’s an unwanted future…]
[Well, maybe that guy will truly bring us a future that we couldn’t create.]
[What do you an?]
[That’s what he told . In order to save my daughter and free humanity from the carnival forever, I will unite Ran and Wu and destroy them.]
[You are talking nonsense…! How much we tried to separate them! Now you’re going to make us whole again?!]
[Yes. That’s nonsense. Because it was sothing we couldn’t do. But is that why I’m the only one who thinks he can achieve it?]
[…What?]
[Family is more important to him than revenge for his status. So, that ans we also have an opportunity to negotiate.]
At that mont, the backstage was in commotion.
[The reason he beca so powerful must be to set his daughter free. If he hunts Ran and Wu for that… we can pay by returning him to a human.]
The Aspects kept an eye on him.
[If Ran and Wu disappear… our era may begin.]
[It’s like a dream. Is it really possible to negotiate with that monster?…]
[On the contrary, it may not be what happens to us.] It was
bittersweet for the Aspects to have to fear a human who had just beco Aspect, but they had no choice but to admit it.
If there is truly soone who would kill the first phase…
it would be Namgung.
[It is true that this guy is a monster, but I don’t know if he will be able to relate to Ran and Wu. If we make a mistake, we may open an era of destruction rather than change.]
[So, let’s take a look. Didn’t they hold a phase battle to see that ability? Will the gambling card eat the sacrifice called Klipt… or will it work? We have nothing to lose, right?]
[You say we have nothing to lose… I get suspicious every ti you say that.]
[Then you can either co forward. Whether it’s capturing Namgung or gaining status. But you don’t want to live as dogs watching over Ran and Woo forever, right?]
Namgoong felt the area around the stage becoming noisy. I couldn’t hear their voices, but I could tell by their looks.
‘Yor must be wiping his mouth.’
Namgung could guess what their conversation would be like.
[Promoted Soul Soldiers aren’t the entirety of your strength. Even if you have learned necromancy, it is not your power but Yor’s. The power of status is not due to soone else’s power, but is born entirely from one’s own birth.]
Klipt, who ca on stage, spoke to Namgung in a slightly nervous voice.
[Show your strength. I will confirm with my own eyes whether the power is worthy of its status.]
“Do you know what the easiest way is to attract those who were enemies to my side?”
[What?]
“That’s making a public enemy.”
Namgung took out the [Sword of All Evil] and slowly corrected his posture.
“But even if there is a public enemy, it is aningless if you do not have the courage to face the enemy. “For that, one more condition is needed.”
[I don’t know what you’re talking about.]
“Instilling the expectation that you can defeat the enemy.”
Ugh….
The sword began to tremble.
“You are the sacrifice for that.”
[Crazy guy….]
“Thank you. “Everyone may have their own positions, but they ca to the fight with first.”
In an instant, Namgoong’s white eyes beca blurry, as if a curtain had been placed over them.
[…!!]
“This is not a phase war.”
At that mont, I felt an explosive power that I had never felt before.
“This is the stage where I prove my worth.”
Namgung’s appearance disappeared.
Klipt’s six arms failed to respond to anything.
