“Wow!”

Sejun muttered briefly, thinking it was absurd. The voice came out with a tone that suggested something was wrong, but in fact, it was something that anyone could see.

[Wow!]

And Yue’s voice is also transmitted into his head. Although she was in charge of Jang A-hyeon’s communications, her condition seemed to be no different from Se-jun’s.

And she had forgotten what she was doing and was spouting out absurd words along with Sejun.

There was a huge explosion and a large fire was shooting up into the sky at the center of the explosion, where something had hit directly. If there was such a thing as spectacular, wouldn’t that be the word that expresses it now?

It wasn’t a mushroom cloud, but a similarly huge explosion occurred and covered the sky.

‘W-what is this! ‘Nuclear missiles?’

Of course, that couldn’t have been the case. Even if Taesung Group is said to be capable of knocking down flying birds, it makes no sense to have such a strategic weapon.

Even so.

[What the hell is this… .]

[Come to your senses! Honestly, I don’t think that monster will die like this.]

Jang Ah-hyun interrupts Se-jun, who is stuttering at the sight of the grand spectacle, and appeals his opinion.

That’s right. Sejun quickly comes to his senses after hearing her words and looks at the center of the explosion, where a huge cloud of dust had formed.

Anyway, he is in a position to command monsters. In other words, that guy is also a being that can be considered a monster.

And if you look at his power, he’s at least a top-tier guy. It was difficult to say that the possibility of death due to the attack just now was very high.

The concept of mana is a very strange thing. It exists on this Earth and can be felt directly with the skin like a gas or liquid, but it does not follow the physical laws of the Earth.

For example, there is a phenomenon that has become so commonplace that we can easily see it around us.

Even when hit by a tank’s main gun, monsters that are fine are cut to pieces by a small amount of magic mixed in.

Things like how a magic stone the size of a fingernail containing magical power does not follow thermodynamics and causes a huge explosion.

It is not yet known whether the attack presumed to have been a missile just now was one containing magical power or not, but judging from Jang A-hyeon’s words, it was highly likely that it was the latter.

Then he’s still there.

Coogugung.

Suddenly the ground shakes.

The vibrations become stronger enough that everyone around them feels strange.

The infected people, who felt as if they had no sense, also looked around in all directions as if puzzled by the vibrations. A voice was flowing.

And soon after.

It’s crunchy under Sejun’s feet! An explosion occurred from the ground along with a sound.

‘As expected, he was alive.’

Sejun, who quickly grasped the situation with the mana particles surrounding his body, kicked the floor and muttered in his mind.

As I dodged the explosion on the floor and looked at the center of the explosion, I heard Adramalek’s voice.

[Is it human technology? I, who thought of it as a toy, gave up.]

Adramalek’s voice came from far away, in a space so completely destroyed that it was impossible to even tell that it was the original building.

His voice seemed relaxed, as if such a thing was not a big deal, but his words were already proving another fact.

That attack just now definitely worked on him.

[You must participate in this plan. Does this mean that the woman over there should be your partner? Why do you not understand it?]

[That sounds disgusting.]

Jang Ah-hyeon’s voice is heard.

Was Adramalek’s story actually passed down to everyone, not just Sejun?

I don’t know if it was because of the magic badge she still wore on her chest, or if she was telling the story to Jang Ah-hyeon, the other person who would create the spare, but in any case, it seemed obvious that she had also heard Adramalek’s story.

And the answer was so merciless and cold that it almost hurt Sejun a little.

‘No matter what, it’s disgusting.’

Sejun clicked his tongue lightly.

But it’s probably a good story for now. Because it’s no longer a question.

[Do you still not know that Northmund is actually the party that is driving this world to destruction?]

[Oh yeah. Speaking of Professor Northmund.]

I can feel Jang Ah-hyun opening her mouth and then taking a moment to gather her words.

Now that I think about it, where is her location? First of all, it is not visible to Sejun.

Is he looking through a telescope from somewhere far away?

[I heard you say earlier that the professor said that the girl he was taking with him was already wrong.]

Han Se-jun grabbed the handle of his long sword once again as he saw Jang A-hyeon speaking in a somewhat indifferent manner.

Sejun looked down for a moment at the flame of supernatural ability and his sword, which looked like a double flame due to the addition of flare to the flame, then shifted his gaze towards Adramalek.

[That means you don’t have the ability to bring that woman, Yoon Sia, from the professor? You came to us like a loser because you were scared to face the professor in person, right?]

[…] Refrain from speaking.]

[I guess that’s right. Seeing as Alexstras or something doesn’t come forward, that means he can’t defeat the professor, right? Phew.]

[It’s no use. There is nothing to talk about with consequentialism.]

Adramalek was no ordinary person either. Ignoring Jang Ah-hyeon, who was laughing for the purpose of provocation, he continued speaking in a normal tone.

This time, Jang Ah-hyun became a little nervous due to Adramalek’s attitude.

Seeing that, Sejun lightly pressed his fingers to his temples and frowned.

[At least it’s true. Adramalek.]

Sejun helped. Adramalek was definitely strong. The inaction he showed was unrivaled, and the black ray had a power comparable to that of most artillery bombardments.

But that’s it.

No matter how many times I run the simulation in my head. Even if a strong penalty is imposed on one of them.

When this guy and Dean Northmund fight, the Dean is never pictured losing.

No matter how much I thought about it, I could not equate the explosion of light that covered Seoul with Adramalek’s rays. Rather, it is an insult to Northmund.

[stop. These are the cogs that will create the final body. You shall not speak any more of abominations. This world is starting to collapse little by little, a fact that only you who are wandering in the dream do not know.]

Addramalek raised a hand made of black lines and touched the corresponding area with his head.

It’s creaking. Addramalek was creaking like a doll right now.

Like an egg ghost, the center of the empty face becomes bulging and a huge pupil appears.

But at least it wasn’t the human eye. No, it is a single eye that gives off an empty and empty feeling that can hardly be considered an animal’s eye.

[This is something that must be done regardless of Alexstras’ plan, so why do you distrust it?]

The creaky doll returned with a regretful look on its face.

In an attitude as if he was collapsing, as if he was resisting someone pushing him hard from behind and trying to knock him down.

The guy continues talking.

[It is a fact determined by the plot of the dream of a great being that the characters Han Si-woo and Jang Su-ri must arise. Unfortunately, one of them cannot continue, so this world will inevitably walk the path of extinction.]

[That’s why you have to make a grand plan and eat it up before the dream is destroyed and make it a reality. If that is the only way to avoid destruction, it is a pity that you still think of Him as separate from reality.]

Adramalek’s regretful story continues and soon Sejun’s mind becomes more complex.

A feeling of confusion. Unorganized confusion was gradually forming in Sejun’s mind.

Are the words of the demon Adramalek true? No, I can’t really think about it. If it were rational, it would have been so.

The story of this guy now will be in the same context as the one that happened just before when he turned into Sejun’s father. Just simply playing with themselves.

Isn’t it absurd to say that this is someone’s dream and not reality in the first place?

But if this is really true.

It becomes a job similar to that of Dean Northmund.

But how can I admit that?

The true intention of these devils was that the method was different from that of the hero Elm Northmund, who was trying to save the world, but the purpose was the same.

So what is the essence of this guy?

Just because a street wall is painted white doesn’t mean it’s pure white.

Rather, it is mostly gray, but that only makes the surrounding environment judge it to be white. It’s rare to paint a wall completely pure white.

Likewise, there is no perfect white and black in this world. Everything is gray.

That very obvious fact… .

[Don’t break down.]

‘huh?’

Sejun’s attempt to bite his lip was stopped by Jang Ah-hyeon’s voice that suddenly came into his head.

The voice encouraging Sejun has returned to a normal voice that I have never heard before.

[Let’s trust the professor. Have you ever done something wrong by doing what a professor told you to do? All the trouble happened because we didn’t follow the professor’s instructions properly.]

[…] .]

[I think it’s the same. The professor probably has a plan.]

[but… .]

Jang Ah-hyun opened her mouth softly. Meanwhile, as the sensitivity of the communication connection decreased and increased, it seemed that the communication link was also experiencing some mental distress.

but. If we think about it, Yue, who was opening the communication channel, must have been listening to their entire conversation.

[…] .]

What do you mean?

Jang Ah-hyeon has no answer. Rather than being mischievous or grumpy, it felt like he was telling you, the listener, to think about yourselves.

As Sejun hesitates for a moment at her intention, Yue conveys his thoughts.

[Now that I think about it, I sometimes think about the professor’s actions… Now that I think about it, he seemed to act as if he somehow knew the future… .]

[…] What does that mean?]

[No, that’s it. hmm. The professor sometimes seems a bit clumsy when teaching something. Ah, no, that’s not a bad thing, Ahyeon! So what I’m saying is just… .]

Yue’s words continued for a long time. Since I couldn’t see her face, I couldn’t understand the situation exactly, but as I listened to her gibberish, I felt that Yue was constantly watching Jang Ah-hyeon.

In short, if I were to organize the excuses and summarize the contents, this was the story.

It feels like Professor Northmund only teaches with simple knowledge rather than an experienced educator.

There is also the fact that the professor has been engaging in a number of questionable actions that make one think he may have some knowledge of future events.

Of course, it is possible that this is something I have already experienced at Grandis, but I feel a very slight sense of discomfort.

At those words, Jang Ah-hyun opened her mouth.

[Yue, I could refute everything you said, but since the situation is current, I will postpone it until later.]

[Oh, yes, yes, I guess I was all wrong. I’m sorry for talking off-topic, Ahyeon… .]

“Still, the conclusion has been reached.”

Sejun opened his mouth after summarizing the situation.

After looking at Sejun for a moment, Adramalekh spoke with a very disappointed expression on his face.

[You are truly trying to abandon this world.]

“Well. I don’t think so.”

Sejun grinned and received Adramalek’s words. In fact, he didn’t show much of a reaction, perhaps because he expected Sejun’s answer to some extent.

I just quietly ask Sejun back. Why is that so?

Why did he come to such a conclusion, even though he himself realized that Adramalek’s words were not lies?

“You said that the professor seemed to have read the writings of Wittgen or something.”

[He said so.]

“That would mean that the Dean also knows everything about the future.”

Yes, even though Dean Northmund knows everything about the future, the reason is that he does not cooperate with the cause they are talking about and goes his own way.

“Of course, the dean has already thought of a solution. And we just have to follow him as disciples.”

okay. It makes no sense to know the future and not take any measures.

Moreover, isn’t Dean Northmund always looking ahead?

I’m not sure if he really sees the future like Yue said, but when I compare it with Adramalek’s comment, it seems to be true to some extent.

Then all that’s left is to believe in Him.

[…] .]

After hearing that, Adramalek didn’t say anything.

As it was, it began to gather enormous energy.

Once again, a vast storm of dark mana blows in and everything around is blown away.

The eye of a huge typhoon began to engulf everything once again, just like the wind power of the one in LA.

[That makes sense. However, that may not be the path that can be with us who have waited for eons. Therefore, we have no choice but to act as ourselves.]

In the dreams of great beings, they have guided humans and made plans since the age of myth.

Sometimes as a wise man, sometimes as a myth, sometimes as a devil.

[It is such a pity. I looked forward to meeting you, a near-incarnation of the guardians locked in the cycle of my eons, but you ultimately reject us. Yes, heretic, won’t you regret this choice?]

The mythical being speaks to me.

And Sejun quietly shook his head. Her colleagues did not speak, but their feelings were conveyed.

From Yue, who maintains a communication system, to Tania, Muriel, and Jang A-hyeon.

It seemed like someone who came with me was missing, but it didn’t seem like anything to worry about.

“No regrets.”

[good night.]

When Sejun said those words with a stern expression, Adramalek quietly agreed.

The conclusion has already been reached. A conclusion that everyone here agrees with.

If so, it is time to no longer stand there foolishly but to take action on that conclusion.

[No matter how decayed and broken we have become, it is not something you should ignore. You said it wasn’t so, but you will most likely regret this.]

Kugugoogung!

As soon as Sejun finished speaking, a wave-like energy began to wash over him.

An energy so huge that even the crushing ray that erases everything and turns it into nothingness, which has never been seen before, seems ridiculous, explodes.

But Sejun was still smiling slightly.

He smiled and muttered in a nervous manner.

“Let’s see who will regret it.”

As if in response, a powerful red flare emanated from his body.
