“So, everything we went through was a dream?”

Taetaeng! Tikakakang!

I barely nodded in response to Gyeong-hyeong’s question as he bounced away all kinds of flying debris with his body while running at almost full speed.

“Huh! Hah! That’s right! The evil spirit I saw through the sunglasses in my dream! He must be our target!”

“It’s amazing that everyone has the same dream… Was it after I heard that knock on the door that I fell asleep? By the way, how on earth do I catch that guy?”

“That’s the problem!”

“Everyone this way!”

I gritted my teeth and followed Noeul into the room.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak! Coo! Cooo!

As soon as the door closes, countless crashing sounds echo like a shower.

“Huh, huh…!”

“Whoa! Whoa! How come I feel a sense of déjà vu!? Whoosh! Whoosh! Didn’t you feel like this even in your dreams?”

Everyone nodded in response to Heo Sae-ron’s question, which was panting.

“Hehe, hehe… Still, I don’t think there are as many ghosts as in the dream?”

“Are you saying there is only one evil spirit? Then…”

When Gyeong-hyung wore sunglasses, everyone else, including me, also wore sunglasses.

“oh…!”

“see!”

And, it was only then that I was able to confirm the true value of ‘attacker detection sunglasses.’

In the distance, I could see an evil spirit buried underground.

The countless obstacles that should originally block the view have become transparent, leaving only an outline, like a 3D map.

If you have hostility and intent to attack the user, you will never be able to escape the sight of these sunglasses.

This is indeed an item supported by the management bureau’s headquarters.

Does ‘emotional intelligence’ work?

‘An evil spirit who has accumulated countless karma’

‘It is of a different class from ordinary beings.’

‘I will endlessly repeat the cycle of karma, fueled by infinite hatred and malice toward the living.’

‘At the moment, we can never win. The same applies no matter what skill you purchase.’

It works.

“…It’s the same.”

The problem is that the emotional result is the same as in a dream.

Still saying you can never win? So what should I do?

“You mean we just have to kill that thing!? Then we’ll finish it once and for all! Everyone get back!”

As soon as he sees the evil spirit, Gyeong-gyeong grits his teeth and swings the ‘Space Cham’ without a moment of hesitation.

-Giggle…

Immediately after, my eyes met with an evil spirit that was laughing as if I knew it would happen.

“…!!”

Creepy!

Even though it is just that, an indescribable shiver runs down my spine.

Afterwards, the hair turns white and the body stiffens.

Like prey facing a predator.

This feeling is similar to Eun No-eul, who revealed the power of a dream demon in a dream.

Of course, I did not feel like I was absolute like Eun No-eul.

It feels like it’s a few levels lower than that.

However, with that alone, I was able to feel the difference in class that easily overwhelmed someone like me.

“Now, sleep…!”

I quickly tried to stop my older brother, but at that moment, my older brother’s arm had already been swung several times.

Kiiing!

“Huh? What is it?”

“what…?”

Questions appear on everyone’s faces as the terrifying slash, which would have normally split walls or anything else, fails to destroy even the wall in front of them.

“…!?”

It would be nice if it was just that, but I was the only one who could feel it.

come.

No, to be precise, it comes back.

“Dangerous!!”

The moment I pushed aside Gyeong-hyeong and Sae-ron with all my might and took their place, the viewpoint was lowered.

“Kaaah…!?”

Unable to keep his balance, he fell and looked down to see that his legs, arms, and torso had been broken into pieces and his internal organs were spilling out.

“Ha, Hangil!?”

“Hangil oppa!!”

My companions with pale complexions came running with ‘potions’, but I gritted my teeth and glared at the evil spirit through my sunglasses.

-Giggle giggle…!

“Cough! Is it fun…? Me too…let’s laugh together…!”

Fuwaaa!

As he gnashed his teeth at the guy, an ominous flame bloomed from the tattoo on the back of his right hand, even though his arm was cut off.

“Whoop…!”

I could sense it because I had already seen and felt it several times in the past.

If I just let out the pain that was currently burning my brain and the intense emotions that came with it, all of this damage would be directed at him.

But, I couldn’t be satisfied with just that.

“Kill me, die, die…!”

Amplification.

It fuels all the resentment swirling within me.

I don’t know how that is possible.

I tried it because I thought it would just work intuitively, and the resentment began to replicate as if reflecting an image in an infinite mirror.

Double, triple, quadruple…

“Aaaahhh…!”

Ten times.

Anything more than that was impossible.

It was painful, as if my nerves were on fire, and I felt as if the core of my being was shriveling, so I hurriedly stopped.

“Geez…Uuuu!”

Gurgling…!

As soon as I shouted, the flame of resentment that had been burning so fiercely died out in a split second.

-Kick, kick? Kkeee!?

The evil spirit’s limbs are cut off and its body is torn into pieces.

That was the only damage I received, but the remaining lump of resentment stubbornly returned and tore through its translucent body.

Again and again and again.

Continue until your whole body falls into pieces.

-Kkee, keueh…

However, surprisingly, it was not only alive in that state, but was also fumbling and putting its body back together.

As expected, it is a strong evil spirit.

So much so that it can never be won by normal means.

But that’s if I deal with him alone.

“ha ha ha…”

No matter how much I exaggerated it ten-fold, I discovered a blind spot in my ’emotional eye’ when I saw that ‘spatial charm’ was working.

This skill is to judge everything in the world solely based on me and myself.

In other words, it doesn’t even take into account my colleagues or the weapons I have.

This is why the emotional result is, ‘You can never win.’

“Hangil you…”

“Wow, that’s huge…”

The group, who were speechless, took turns looking at me and the evil spirit while wearing sunglasses and opened their mouths blankly.

“Ugh… you know. I’m in a lot of pain. Can you help me fit my body?”

“Uh, huh!? Ah, yes!”

“Sorry, that must be gross…”

“Don’t worry about that!”

Heo Sae-ron, who was saying that and holding the severed arm, opens his mouth wide.

“No, but this isn’t it!? How on earth are you alive!? Why aren’t you dead!?”

“What? Do you wish I were dead?”

“That’s not what I’m saying! Isn’t it normal for a wound like this to kill you instantly!?”

“Ahaha. So…”

It was so painful that it was hard to even talk, but I just smiled.

“…Brother. Can I use this ‘potion’? Won’t any strange phenomena occur?”

Meanwhile, Eun No-eul, who calmly assesses the situation, is extremely reassuring.

is not it? Looking at him fidgeting with the ‘potion’ with a stiff expression, it doesn’t seem like it.

“Hmm…it’ll probably be okay. It’ll be better because it will heal faster, right?”

“…Even my brother doesn’t know.”

“that’s right.”

“Hmm… I’ll use it little by little and see the reaction.”

She attaches the severed leg and slightly spills the red liquid of the ‘potion’.

Cheeek!

“Oh…that’s amazing?”

Then the seam disappeared at once and the legs came together.

The senses also feel fine.

“Wow, the performance is solid. As long as I have this, I don’t have to worry about getting hurt.”

“What’s amazing is your body. To think that you even have this kind of immortality… I guess I have to raise my rating to a higher level.”

“huh…?”

Seeing the silver glowing eyes, I felt a little ominous.

“I don’t know what evaluation is, but it’s not that big of a deal, is it?”

“If this isn’t great, what is?”

“…is it?”

I tilted my head as I looked down at the bodies my colleagues were putting together one by one.

Certainly, if you look at it through someone else’s eyes, it may be so.

Right now, I wouldn’t have been able to hide my shock if Gyeong-hyung or Saeron’s bodies were cut into pieces like this and they were still alive.

However, from my perspective, it wasn’t because I wanted to become like this, I was just worried and scared about my physical condition because I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

I can only guess that it’s because of the Mirror of Resentment, but since I don’t know anything, I want to…

“It’s harder than I thought to connect the internal organs one by one…”

“Ugh…I feel like I’m going to throw up…!”

“Hold on, Saeron. If you throw up now, it will be a disaster.”

“……”

Rather, isn’t it more abnormal for Gyeong-hyeong, Heo Sae-ron, and Eun No-eul to just calmly connect without being surprised?

“Well, can you hurry up? I think everything will recover if I leave the evil spirit alone…”

“Hangil. Please be quiet so I can concentrate.”

“Oppa. You think this is easy? Ugh! What’s coming out? Is this shit!?”

“Saeron. It’s better for both of us if we don’t talk about things like that.”

No, is this right?

They were chatting as if they were making kimchi and applying ‘potion’ to glue their bodies together. If anyone else had seen it, they would have fainted.

“done!”

“Oppa Han-gil. Move your body. Is there anything strange?”

“Huh? Umm…”

When my shattered body was finally put together, I tried to stretch and jump around on the spot.

“…I’m fine. There’s no pain or any problems. The ‘potion’ is amazing.”

“No, you’re saying you’re amazing, right? No matter how many ‘potions’ there are, there’s usually no situation like just now.”

“Uh…really?”

“Of course. You can’t save a dead person.”

“Hmm… Ah! Anyway, let’s go quickly! I’ll really recover completely!”

Although all three of them had blood on their hands and clothes, they didn’t bother to mention it and started running.

“Everyone, take the ‘Invulnerable Throat Lozenge’! Be careful not to swallow or bite it!”

“huh!”

“okay!”

Under Eun No-eul’s command, who foresaw the final fight, everyone takes out throat candy and bites it.

I also put a throat lozenge in my mouth.

“Uhm…”

It’s just a sweet throat candy? I can’t feel any energy… can this really protect my body?

Although I confirmed the power of the ‘Non-spitting Throat Lozenge’ in my dream, I felt a little uneasy when I actually used it.

However, the effect could be directly confirmed soon after.

Squirt! Teeing!

This is because the fork, which flew at an incredible speed, could not even pierce my collar and bounced off.

“Wow! This is amazing!”

“Don’t say anything! If you swallow it, it’ll be a disaster!”

“Oh, yes!”

I was intimidated by Eunnoeul’s shouting, so I kept my mouth shut and moved my legs vigorously.

The destination was, of course, the basement where evil spirits resided.

-Keee! Kiiig!

However, there was no way he would just ignore our approach.

Slurp slurp!

“Wow!?”

“W-what!? The floor and the walls!”

The mansion, which had become mushy like clay, began to bend and bend with a strange viscosity.

“Is that the work of an evil spirit!?”

“Have you already recovered!?”

“Everyone be careful! It looks like this mansion is the ‘territory’ of that evil spirit! Just like me in my dream!”

“…!!”

The color drained slightly from Noeul’s face at her words.

Even without having experienced it, I had a feeling that it would be an unfavorable fight.

Slurp slurp! Awesome!

“Tsk! Holy shit!”

“Sister! What should I do!?”

The soft floor was sinking under my feet, the walls were curved and cracked, turning into a labyrinth, and the ceiling and floor were overturned, making it impossible to clearly see the terrain.

“Oppa Gyeong-gu! Use ‘space charm’!”

“What!? But if you use that, it bounces off!”

“It’s okay now! I’m using ‘Non-spitting Throat Lozenge’!”

“I’m anxious…I can’t help it!”

Papa papa pap!

His arm, moving at incredible speed, swings the ‘space charm’ at the evil spirit visible through the sunglasses.

Kiiing! Kiiing!

As expected, the slash deflected, but had no effect on us.

…although the throat lozenges diminished quickly.

“Noel! Is this okay!?”

“It’s okay, so keep going! No matter how strong the evil spirit’s power is and even if this mansion is its territory, it’s impossible to keep deflecting the ‘Space Slash’ slashes! Even if it’s in a dream, it’s difficult!”

“okay!”

Papa papa papa phat!

While running with difficulty, the ‘space slash’ that is swung like crazy leaves an afterimage and spits out a terrifying slash.

Kiiing! Kiiing! Kiiing!

At the same time, the deflected slashes bounced around randomly… but as Eunno-eul said, there seemed to be a limit as the slashes began to work little by little, tearing the ruined mansion apart.

Whoops!

And finally, one slash opened a large hole that seemed to lead underground.

“Okay! Let’s go here!”

“Are you okay!?”

“There’s no time! We have to finish before the lozenges melt!”

As Eunnoeul slid down a slide, we also threw ourselves mindlessly.

Slurp slurp!

“Ugh!?”

The evil spirits also began to struggle in their own way.

He Sae-ron let out a scream as the space, which now looked more like the stomach of some gigantic creature than the inside of a mansion, quickly narrowed.

“Oppa! Keep swinging the ‘space attack’!”

“Yeah! I was already doing it!”

Wow! Whoops! Damn it! Kwajajajajajajag!

After a few seconds of mindlessly sliding down the passageway that was forcibly split open by the terrifying slash, we realized almost at the same time that our direction had changed.

“Huh!? The evil spirit is moving away!?”

“Are they creating paths in real time? There are so many different ways! Really!”

“Oppa! In a straight line!”

“okay!”

Kwaja Jajajak! Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!

We forcibly opened up the space with a ruthless sword slash and rushed in recklessly, destroying everything in our path.

How many minutes had passed before my mouth felt dry and my legs felt stiff?

Kwaaang!

-Kyaaa!

Finally, we were able to reach where he was.
