“Just looking at the way you guys hang out on the loop bridge, there is no reason for me to be with you. I don’t know if you think you’ve made a big contribution, but you’re mistaken. At least you are not as valuable to me as you think. Get out now.”

As I said that, I clenched my fists and stood up as if kicking myself.

The legs of the luxurious iron chair I was sitting on broke as a result of my strong force, which had transformed into my original body, a dragon, and a hollow sound echoed across the floor.

“Haha… .”

The old man standing in front of me smiled bitterly at my strong congratulations.

He has an incredibly muscular body like that of a bodybuilder and is so large that he cannot be considered an old man.

It was an intimidating figure, almost over 190 meters tall and close to 2 meters tall.

As for my sitting height, as a Yongin person, I could say that I was a little taller, but my standing height didn’t seem to be much different from mine.

A body like this cannot be obtained normally.

As you get older, your muscles relax, and especially in old age, it is impossible to have the physical beauty of a bodybuilder due to the normal structure of the body.

In other words, if this old man were an ordinary person, he would most likely be a drug addict. Anyone can see that.

But there is no way such an ordinary person could find me,

Of course, he would be someone who stands in direct opposition to me.

“You have plenty to spare. There is no reason for me to keep you alive. However, the information you gave me had a slight impact on dealing with the leader of the Ring Bridge, so I will spare your life just once. Don’t mistake indulgence for freedom.”

As I was rushing out of the room, I looked back and said something to the guy.

A person who introduced himself as a conductor of a circular bridge.

He is a person who previously suddenly contacted the organization and told them about The One’s abilities, asking them to call him the Collector.

Of course, it is true that his information was helpful, but in any case, he is also a conductor of the circular bridge.

I don’t know the reason for the remark, whether it was repentance or just internal conflict within the church, but I had no reason to welcome him.

In my heart, I immediately wanted to raise my sword, cut off his head, and instantly burn him to ashes with magic.

“Northmund. You are misunderstanding.”

“… Don’t misunderstand.”

The large old man twisted his mouth with a calm expression. At that moment, the guy’s face felt a little strangely disheveled.

It was a bit of a strange feeling.

Obviously, this guy is also a guy who does something to some extent.

In fact, the black magic felt from him showed that this old man was quite a strong man.

‘But it’s not at a level that’s acceptable to me.’

Still, it seemed like the old man wasn’t enough to defeat me.

Does he just have that much power to come to me like this and make me irritated?

In addition, by mixing words a few times, I deliberately revealed my strength openly.

He must have already noticed my skills. What does this reaction still mean?

“You guy, you’re annoying.”

If just a moment ago it was something like anger toward a third party who suddenly broke into my fortress, now it feels like he is constantly scratching my insides.

“Good. If you want to die that much.”

“… !”

A sudden flash, no, it wasn’t a flash, but a sword swung at such a fast speed that the air was torn apart and white light was scattered.

Breaking the silence of this space, which is quiet and quiet, without making noise, even the torn air does not cause any disruption,

“… Wow!”

It was the old man’s startled groan and the sound of something falling and rolling on the floor.

One of the old man’s shoulders, like a giant iron pillar, was cut off and rolling on the floor pitifully.

After that, the oak table, cut in half, hit the floor and made a loud noise.

“Next is neck.”

“… Now, wait!”

bang!

And my body that was shot,

It was literally fast.

A violent explosion occurs as I predicted, as the great sword was swung with the force to tear open his shoulder.

The Collector panicked and desperately waved his hand, which was holding my severed left shoulder, as I tried to resist.

Even so, he cannot resist.

If we were to look for a reason, the first reason is that he was distracted because one of his shoulders was cut off, and the other reason is his overwhelming strength.

An overwhelming force that makes resistance impossible explodes towards him.

Shhh!

As the sound was heard, white lines once again embroidered the sky.

At the same time, a blood-red energy flows out from the guy’s fingertips like a string and meets my sword.

White flashes and blood-red lines collide, creating a huge, destructive explosion that scorches the air in the room.

The huge explosion forcefully closes its mouth, and it kicks the ground to escape.

“Where are you running away!”

I lightly laughed at the continued explosion and stepped on the leg of the person who caused the explosion.

No, correct the description of it.

It was an act too outrageous and cruel to have simply stepped on it.

As if stomping on an insect crawling on the floor, he roughly grabbed the remaining arm of the guy trying to escape, turned around, and kicked the guy’s leg down with his foot.

In a panic, I stepped on the front knee of the guy who was bending his legs in an attempt to extend them forward.

Wood-dud-dud-duk!

There was a sound of someone stepping on something hard but soft and breaking it.

◦ at Geaaaa!”

A tingling yet pleasant sensation felt in the soles of my feet.

Because the man’s upper knee, which was bending his leg, was stepped down so forcefully, the leg bone below the knee was completely crushed and became a piece of crushed meat on the floor.

“Go, ugh!”

It will most likely be an enormous pain. No, in fact, it would be closer to a visual shock rather than pain.

If an entire body part were suddenly blown away, you wouldn’t feel any immediate pain due to the rapidly surging adrenaline.

The sight of this old man’s eyes growing as if they were going to fall out, blood vessels bursting, and bloody tears streaming down his face is probably just a painful sight to see.

‘Well, maybe not.’

What can I do? I am not a party.

I am a hunter who hunts, not a deer that risks its life to run away from the hunter.

I suddenly had that thought as I delivered a powerful low kick to the other leg of an old man who was screaming with one of his legs crushed.

“Gaaah, ahhh!”

I heard the sound of the old man falling to the floor, his only leg broken at an odd angle by my low kick.

Unlike the right leg, which was completely crushed and dislodged as if it had been crushed by a press machine, the left leg, which had been hit by a low kick, was twisted grotesquely but was still attached to the guy’s body.

However, seeing as it flutters like a balloon blowing in the wind, it seems impossible for this bridge to be revived either.

The bones inside would have been completely shattered and harpooned.

“So, you should treat yourself in moderation. You chose to die yourself, so don’t feel wronged.”

I lifted my leg to step on the abdomen of the guy who was rolling around like a caterpillar on the floor.

Soon, it will be crushed to pieces, spewing out all sorts of fluids from the pores all over its body.

But then, his voice enters my ears.

“You! Don’t you know that this world is the stuff of novels!”

“What?”

As I was swinging my leg down as if I was slapping down Ohama, I was startled by the collector’s words and suddenly lost my balance.

As a result, my foot, which was aimed at the guy’s abdomen, ended up hitting his remaining right hand.

Wow! The man’s scream rang out again.

But right now, his pain was none of my business.

“What did you just say?”

“Wow, wooaa.”

Sigh!

That’s what I heard.

The face of the old man who was screaming in pain turns around.

It was my kick that led to the old man.

The force was adjusted to bring the guy back to his senses, but the person who hit it’s head turned around, scattering white stone-like pieces from his mouth in all directions, as if it was no different from a professional athlete’s full-strength psychological kick.

“Oh my… .”

Could it have been the blow to the head that was the problem?

The guy lost consciousness and started to cower, so I kicked him in the side again.

The murderous kick sends the guy bouncing off the wall and rolling over.

“Uh, huh?”

“Tell me. What did you just say? This world is a novel?”

Jump up!

“Northmund! What’s going on!”

Suddenly the door opens and employees in black suits rush in.

Because there was a big commotion inside the room of the organization building, employees who had been waiting outside entered the room.

Each person was holding a firearm, such as a pistol, in their hands.

The guys who entered the room took a deep breath as they gasped at the mess inside, and when they saw the suspicious state of “customer” pinned against the wall, they pointed their guns at him.

“This is Alpha Team, VVIP has entered into battle with the enemy who came to the organization. Quickly send additional response teams… .”

but,

“Get out! I never asked you to come in!”

“Heeek! Okay, sorry!”

The people in black suits were startled by the Dragon Fear flowing out of my body mercilessly and ran out of the room again.

As if a monster was chasing him from behind, he even threw away the pistol he was holding and hurriedly escaped as if breaking down the door, not noticing that his shoes had come off and the badge on his suit had been torn off.

You can hear the door closing behind you with a bang, and then you can hear a creaking sound as if the hinges have been damaged by the wind.

But that wasn’t my part-time job.

“Tell me. I won’t say it twice. This is my last recommendation to you.”

“Ah, ah.”

A shiver still ran through my head from the shock of what this old man had said.

How on earth does this person know that fact? Are you saying that there is someone other than me who knows the secrets of this world?

Even if the circuit bridge had some understanding of the full story of events occurring in this world, there was no way that it would be possible to know what happened outside of this world.

Because, of course, they are also characters in the novel.

Even if I was working on a backstory that wasn’t mentioned in the novel, there’s no way I would have known the story outside of the novel.

“Ugh. Say, I will say. Please give me your hand.”

I was putting a lot of pressure on the hand holding the guy’s hair because I wanted to convey the thrill that was running wild in my head to his head.

In the wind, the guy’s hair is torn off in chunks, and the pure white roots attached to the hair can be seen.

It was somewhat disgusting, so I shook out the hair in my hand and slapped the guy’s cheek.

“Ugh, ugh. This world is progressing according to the contents of a novel written by someone. You know that too. Isn’t that why you have been able to act like that until now?”

“Oh, you mean Wittgen’s book.”

“Yes. I have a copy of that too. And because I read it, I know how the book ends.”

“What is this?” I sighed inwardly, somehow relieved.

To be exact, I am not saying that this world is the world of 『Kiss Siege Sense』, but I was simply reading a book by the guardian, Clerk Wittgen, who recorded the contents of the dreams of a great being.

There was such a mention in The One’s triumphant proposal before he was severely beaten by me.

‘As mentioned, The One only vaguely knows the contents of the book and doesn’t seem to have read the book itself, but this guy read it?’

I was lost in thought for a moment.

Why did this guy come to me?

Judging from what I just said, I’m sure he thinks I’ve read the book.

Looking at it, I think he also came to suggest something to me, but I don’t know if he had anything in particular to suggest.

‘How is Wittgen’s book described? I don’t think it’s written from the perspective of one main character, outside of world events, like in 『Kishi.Sen』.’

Even if you think about it on your own, you won’t know.

Then I have no choice but to ask.

“Yes. I know that too. So you came here to brag to me that you also read that book?”

“Ah, ah, no. I just came here because I wanted to help.”

“Help? How can you help me? Just looking at the situation just now, you can’t even keep up with my fingertips.”

When he raises his fist as a threat, the guy starts shaking and convulsing.

I felt like my violence had become ingrained in his mind at the level of trauma. Well, how could it not be so?

“You guys are just a dream. The only real thing in this world is me, Elm. Even though he is a great being and all, the truth is that an insignificant being made up of the dreams of a useless person in a corner of a room can help me.”

“Then, don’t you know that if this world does not proceed as dreamed, it will eventually disappear?”

I looked back at his words again and chewed my lips.

Yes. Wittgen said that he used his abilities to see the contents of the great being’s dreams and write them down to create a book.

But what Alexstras said, and what The One said, is that in the end, if the dream does not come true, the dream will be broken and this world will disappear.

That was also something that was weighing on my heart.

If the dream is broken, no, it is already bound to be broken.

If that dream is broken, everything in this world, the countless things I tried to protect, my precious students, and my lovely girl… .

“You keep avoiding the main point and trying to deceive people. I said tell me your intentions. It’s not something that everyone here knows.”

While saying that, I glance at Dragon Fear and see him chewing his lips.

“This world has changed so much that it has no choice but to eventually disappear. But isn’t Northmund trying to prevent the extinction of this world? So, you are leaving for the final battle with Alexstras.”

“Are you so excited to talk about an open secret? It’s not helpful either.”

“No. What you are trying to do now is bound to fail. I can assure you of that.”

The guy raises his already battered body and leans against the wall. An old man with all his limbs shriveled and a pitiful appearance.

Use your good arm to support the floor and raise your body.

“Failure? Even that bastard named Alexstras is no match for me. It’s just a hassle to have to go to Africa.”

“No. Isn’t it your plan to destroy Alexstras and take over his power?”

“What? How… .”

“Ha, hahaha. I made a guess. Alexstras attempted to create the final body by breeding without breaking the balance of this world, and then obtain that body and devour the gods. But haven’t you already gone far beyond the level of the final body? It’s a reasonable guess.”

uh?

A different story was unfolding than I expected.

Actually, I had no specific plan and was just vague.

However, at first glance, it seemed like there was some credibility to what he said.

Even if Alexstras obtains Han Si-woo’s body, it is a self-evident fact that Han Si-woo will not be my opponent.

“In fact, the original plan itself is a method with a low success rate. Since I wasn’t sure about the final body, I tried to make an extra spare. Yes, the one that will come from that Taesung Group kid and a timid, girly boy.”

“… Jangsuri.”

“As expected, you remember the contents of the book perfectly.”

The guy coughed and coughed up blood.

Cover his mouth with his remaining arm.

It wouldn’t be strange if he died suddenly at any moment, but as expected from those on the circular bridge with dark magic, his face seemed to have relaxed somewhat, as if there were no problems with continuing his life.

“Yes, I came today to give Northmund some advice so that he can properly absorb God. This is a method that Alexstras did not come up with.”

That’s what he answered me.
