“Anonymous, do you have any guesses?”

As soon as he arrived at the place where the Demon King was sealed, the nameless heart began to beat rapidly.

Additionally, the pupils were constricted.

Blood circulation is abnormally fast.

“Anonymous?”

Even though his teacher gave him a worried look, Moo-myeong couldn’t answer.

‘My vision is blurry.’

And, my head feels dizzy.

“… Anonymous. Come to your senses.”

Nameless, as if possessed by something, slowly walked towards the seat reserved for the Demon King.

“Ugh!”

But, it didn’t reach there.

Because my teacher was pressed to the floor with his arms bent.

“Anonymous. Take a rest for a moment.”

Immediately afterwards, I began to lose consciousness along with a shock felt at the back of my neck.

* * *

Even if you refused Lily’s request, shouldn’t you have brought Nameless here?

“… Tsk.”

Even though I haven’t checked it myself yet, I can see that the activity of the worms wriggling in the nameless heart has increased.

I wasn’t flustered by the sudden situation.

If I startle here, the nameless life may be in danger.

I lifted the fallen nameless arm, put it around my shoulder, and raised myself up.

“Just be patient for a little while.”

First of all, since it is a place, leaving is the priority.

Just as I was about to take a step forward.

“Wait.”

A man’s voice began to echo in the room where there was clearly no one.

He pulled out a wooden sword with one hand, looked around, and spoke quietly.

“… Are you the Demon King?”

Damn it. I don’t feel any presence around me?

Could it be that the Demon King is so high level that I can’t do anything? This is a big problem.

I looked around but there was no sign of anything and no answer.

“Answer me!”

Escape during this gap…? No.

If I can’t lose my presence, then running away is impossible. There’s a high chance that I’ll be caught.

then.

‘I guess I’ll have to blow up this whole area at once.’

I opened my eyes wide.

Calculating the weight of the nameless body, he bends his legs further to keep his balance.

“Godslaughter method.”

Twist your waist. Extend your arms forward.

“The 6th meal.”

He turns this area upside down in an instant by creating a new world. After that, he takes advantage of the chaos to escape.

It’s okay if I get caught.

No matter how high the Demon King’s level is, he will still be able to buy time for Nameless to escape.

I steeled my resolve and sharpened my sword.

All that’s left is to draw it down.

‘This is my grave.’

That moment, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

“Calm down. Are you planning to destroy this place?”

The answer came back from the man.

“Tsk, it seems it’s true that I’m a coward.”

I frowned at the man’s tone of voice, as if he knew me.

“I’m a little worried.”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Well, we’re not exactly close.”

What on earth does that mean?

We don’t know each other, but you know me?

The tone of speech is incomprehensible.

In the first place… isn’t he the Demon King?

If it were the Demon King, there would be no need to use such ambiguous expressions, and he would just say that he doesn’t know me at all.

but.

I didn’t rule out the possibility that I might have inferred him from what I heard from Lily.

He started to look around the room, keeping his posture and only rolling his eyes here and there.

“Coward! Don’t hide like a coward, show yourself!”

“Sorry, that’s not possible.”

Impossible?

It is clear that the Demon King has not yet revealed himself because he is sealed.

It’s not even clear whether that guy is the Demon King.

Moreover, it is difficult to pinpoint the location because the voice echoes from all directions.

No, is it right to echo in the room in the first place? But why is it not being discovered like this?

My training was not so in vain.

It’s obviously strange that we haven’t found it yet.

‘I can’t help it.’

He took out some of the energy that was intended to create a new world and spread it widely in all directions.

It’s to find that guy.

After spreading his inner energy for a while, the man said.

“Even now, just raising my voice here is difficult because I lack mana.”

The man who said that added in a puzzled voice, as if there was something wrong with his words.

“Ah. You call it internal energy?”

“… Who the hell are you?”

How much do you know about me?

Even if you’re Lily, you passed on such useless information to the Demon King?

Even Lily, who loves to chatter, seemed to hold herself back when it came to her Demon King.

So, is the person speaking now someone who had a connection with me when I was traveling with the nameless?

However, there are not many people who are close enough to me to know what I call internal energy.

At best, you’re just a student who received instruction from me.

However, among them, there was no one whose internal energy was deep enough for me to not notice.

“Who am I? It’s hard to answer.”

“Are you saying you won’t even reveal your identity?”

“No, there is no name to reveal.”

…no name?

for a moment.

“But people call me this.”

No way. What Lucius was talking about-

“Are you a nameless person?”

“Nameless person”

* * *

Where is this…?

Mu-myeong, who had gotten up while holding his pounding head, looked around, but there was nothing in his sight.

Pitch-black darkness where you can’t see even an inch ahead.

Mu-myeong, who was left here without knowing English, struggled to understand the situation.

“I’m sure you were with the teacher… .”

My vision was blocked because I couldn’t see ahead. I waved my arms but I couldn’t reach anything. There was a peculiar smell in each place, but there wasn’t anything like that.

There was nothing here except the sound of his own breathing and footsteps.

“Did you fall somewhere while you were passed out?”

The consciousness was too clear to be considered as sleep, so I judged it to be reality.

What should we do in a situation like this?

If you just leave, the Master might come looking for you… .

If the paths diverge, there is no end to it.

However, sitting still and waiting is not something that suits my personality.

Besides, whatever it is.

‘Because nothing gets solved by just sitting still.’

This is what the Master always said.

Of course, there were obstacles such as not being able to see anything ahead.

Just like it has always been.

“The Master’s words are never wrong.”

Nameless stepped forward without hesitation.

So, how long did it take?

I felt like I had been walking for several days without meeting anything.

But at the same time, a question arises.

Then this place may not be real.

Could this be the realm of illusions that the Master said was so cowardly?

Hmm, I guess I’m in my right mind.

“Um… .”

The worry didn’t last long.

Rather, it was a simple answer that made me wonder why I hadn’t thought of it before.

This is my own image.

That was also my mental state before meeting the Master.

It was a bit awkward being alone since it had been so long since I had been with my teacher.

Because this was his original place.

At that time, I couldn’t even see an inch ahead in the darkness and couldn’t tell which direction to go, so I couldn’t tell if I was walking the right path.

Literally. There was no light to illuminate him, but he still couldn’t stop.

Then it’s really the end, and any possibility will disappear.

Let’s think about him.

The nameless footsteps suddenly stopped.

‘What were the possibilities…?’

Before meeting the Master, what I had hoped for.

Likewise, the worries did not last long.

Unlike my teacher, my memories aren’t that long ago. It was only ten years ago.

“Ugh, thinking about it now, it’s a little embarrassing.”

I used to hate the world.

I took the first step with only the dream of revenge.

He was resentful of the world, the heavens, and God, who had thrown him into the pit of trial.

So, the day I first met the teacher.

It’s embarrassing to think about now, but didn’t you also say that you wanted to break the sky?

“Ah.”

When he thinks of him, one thing comes to mind.

A ripple occurred.

‘The image that the teacher emphasized.’

The Master has said since ancient times that there should be no impurities in the mind.

My self-image right now is incredibly dirty.

“Ha!”

Was this the reason I had been hitting a wall recently? It was really funny when I realized it.

Because I don’t have such thoughts now.

If that’s the case, then we need to correct the distorted image and build it again… .

“… My image to be rebuilt.”

Well, it’s simple.

The act of thinking about it for too long is shameful.

“My one and only teacher, Cheonharang.”

When I think of him, something seems to come to mind.

* * *

Anonymous arrived in front of the pure white door.

“That’s amazing.”

“… Who are you?”

At the sound of a man’s voice, which he had heard before he knew it, Myeong lowered his body and drew his sword.

…Why is there someone else in your imagination?

“You did it in one go, something you couldn’t do for decades?”

When she turned to the man who was clapping his hands and saying that, he was looking at her, wearing a large black robe.

A cloak that looks very much like a crow.

Then, something that had been buried in a corner of his nameless memory came to mind.

“Are you an anonymous person?”

“You’re right.”

Affirmative answer.

The anonymous man took a couple of steps back and grabbed his sword.

If what I say is true, then the ‘Nameless One’ is the enemy of the warrior and the saintess. He is also the enemy of the Master’s close friend, Iron Blood.

“Huh… How did you enter my mind?”

“It’s not that simple.”

Because this is also my imagination.
