Chapter 813
Sua.
Everything is crisp and slow.
Along with staggering steps, the soil and sand that bounced up, the eyes widened, even the blood welling up from the chest.
and… … .
“What are you doing, bastard?”
With a single word thrown out of my lips, the time that had slowed down returns.
I could clearly see Yamamoto Kenji’s, no, his face, smirking with the corner of his mouth raised.
‘A prophet.’
The two eyes, which had been wide open with pain just a moment ago, were now gleaming with incomprehensible joy and surprise.
‘Are you happy? What is this situation?’
I swung the dagger in my hand again, leaving behind the question of why.
The moment the prophet, who was staggering as he grabbed his bloody chest, grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist. riding the blade of a dagger
The leaping slash cut across the darkness like a flash ahead of him.
squeak.
A faint solid line is drawn on the prophet’s wrist with a cool cutting sound.
The guy’s right hand, which had been pulling out the sword halfway, lost its strength and fell off his body.
Took. Fuhuaak!
Blood spurted out and soaked the floor. He was a red blood, no different from any other human, and that made it all the more unbelievable.
I’m running towards him right now
even for a moment.
Huung, Kwajik!
I put the power of a thousand roots on the tip of my toes and trample it like a limp. The flesh of the calf is bursting and the bones are crushed.
The Prophet, kneeling on one knee, completely unbalanced, stretched out his only hand, but this time I didn’t even have to come forward.
“stop.”
The wind stops with a deep voice. The air shuddered.
You can’t see it, but you can definitely feel it.
The great mage’s mighty mana wrapped around him. The power that grabbed the wrist of the prophet who was trying to reach me.
cringe
A hand suspended in midair. With the sound of bones snapping, his forehead twists.
It was then that the new model of the prophet rose slowly into the air, as if the hand of an invisible giant was lifting it up.
Wedge, puppuppup!
Something pure white flew like a beam of light and pierced the prophet’s limbs.
The long, sharp pieces of bone sliced through the flesh and bones like tofu, and drove the body that had been floating in the air deep into the cliff.
Quadduk!
Solid rock, which had been in place for hundreds or perhaps thousands of years, was an excellent support.
Starting with my unexpected surprise, the prophet who was subdued in an instant vomited bloody water.
“Cool. Hehehe.”
Pain is equal for everyone.
But he smiled, curling up his blood-soaked lips, as if he didn’t feel any pain.
“Okay, let me compliment you first. You did very well.”
Puck!
The head of the prophet, who was hit directly in the face, was thrown back. The guy who threw his head into the cliff with a roar. He shook his head.
“It’s been a while since the goal is ringing. Having fun is good, but let’s do it in moderation.”
“… … r
I suppressed the moans that were about to leak out.
I already cut my wrists and broke my knees. Is that all? His first blow pierced his heart with precision.
He pulled himself out at the last moment, but the intense heat carried by the dagger was enough to wreak havoc inside his body.
‘If you’re a normal human, you’ve already lost your breath.’
But he wasn’t a prophet.
That mysteriously strong life force was not human.
In addition, Michael Silbert, who was half man, half demon, was in the form of a monster and was still bleeding red blood, unlike when he died while shedding the blood of a monster.
“……jin.”
“That guy, what the hell is that guy?”
Two lines of voices piercing my ears.
Seeing Magic Johnson and the Skeleton King staring at the incomprehensible existence with trembling eyes, the prophet laughed with blood boiling.
“No one will answer. Because that is what I am.”
no. What the guy said is wrong.
I calmed down my rapid breathing. The pupils of the two eyes that emitted soft light were as hot as if they were on fire.
This is the price to pay for temporarily accepting transcendent, non-human powers.
At the same time, it was a gift the system gave to some stupid human being, and it was also the only key to putting this huge puzzle together.
‘The eyes of truth.’
A special item received as a reward for completing [Unknown Death], a quest that began with the death of Siegfried Basman.
It was right after I got the clue that I was reminded of the [Truth Eyes] information I had checked in passing.
[Eyes of Truth]
= that. E-person,

Restriction: Jin Tae-kyung
Info: Eyes that a god of the past, who had become a myth in the distant past, dedicated to drinking the spring of wisdom. He gained infinite wisdom in exchange for one pupil, and the eye sunk at the bottom of the fountain gained the power to penetrate the truth of the other world.
Effect: [Eye of Truth can be applied to only one target.
‘In retrospect, the system always gave me directions.’
I didn’t know at first. What is the purpose of the consumable item that the system named [Eye of Truth]? What does that hologram, visible only to me, want to tell me?
But not now.
I got the only clue a few hours ago, and the system gave me the key to unlocking it one step ahead of me.
was
A key that can only be used on one target, so it must be used more carefully.
And at this moment, I have the power to see through all the truth.
Whoa ah.
hot. The front of my eyes is stained white.
However, the supernatural ability of the god that dwells within him has overcome the pain and stretched out.
towards Kenji Yagamoto. To the pope of fanatics who built a temple in this desert.
For the past thirty years, under the name of Munin, he has planted the seeds of disaster on this land, and now towards an unknown being who is trying to blossom himself.
It was a thick curtain that even [Kigam] could not penetrate, but the eyes of the old god called Odin saw it all.
Penetrated, uncovered.
Dig.
The moment when a distant flash of light colored my vision. Countless bells throbbed in my brain.
I’ve never heard of or seen
System alerts and hologram windows ran all over the earth and soared above the clouds.
belt ring. belt ring. belt ring. Tiri-ring!
Sound swallows sound. The translucent hologram windows multiply from one to five, from five to dozens, and then to one hundred.
It was a wave, it was a mountain.
“ah……!”
Unknowingly, a single sigh broke out. A chill ran down her spine at the sight unfolding before her eyes.
Hundreds, maybe thousands.
An uncountable number of hologram windows were exploding like firecrackers. From one being, the beginning and center of all this.
‘A prophet.’
I was out of breath. What I am looking at now is not mere information. It was the countless lives it had swallowed up until now, and the mobi they left behind.
A tombstone with only a level and name.
And the [Eyes of Truth] dwelling in me saw through the true identity of the gravekeeper who built this gigantic grave filled with the names of the dead.
He removed the thick veil he had covered and revealed the truth.
belt ring.
The last bell ringing in my ears. The last piece of the puzzle that comes together in my head with him.
‘ This.’
I finally realized
What is the true nature of a prophet. How this cursed monster was able to do everything while hiding his identity for over thirty years.
‘Yes, now I know.’
I stared at the still smiling prophet. And with a breath he had been holding in, he let out a word.
“Doppelganger.”
At that moment, it seemed clear.
…..
The corner of his mouth, which had been curved like a half moon, stiffened. The hologram window floating above the top of his head glowed gloomily.
[Lv.170 “The Last Abyss” Doppelganger
doppelganger.
A harbinger of bad luck, an existence that has been handed down like a superstition.
However, even in the midst of countless monsters that had only been told in legends tearing up a page of old myths and jumping out into reality, the existence of Flanger never appeared, and mankind thought.
There is no doppelganger among the enemies they have defeated, or to defeat in the future.
That it did not even exist in that terrible world of demons, it was just an illusion brought on by people’s fears and a simple superstition.
But it’s wrong.
Doppelgangers have existed since the beginning. It was just that everyone was mistaken because it had never been revealed.
At least Jin Tae-kyung knew that fact better than anyone else.
Since when did that incomprehensible existence that swallowed countless lives permeate this world?
“Michael Silbert. The Great Battle of Paris.”
The young man’s voice that came out suddenly was as hard as the bedrock of the cliffs surrounding the front and back, and the corners of the monster’s mouth, which had been stiff for a moment, softened.
“Yeah, that’s right. The very day you humans call Christmas. I met him and became a part of this world.”
December 25, 2020.
A great battle that decorated a page of history and at the same time imprinted the name of Michael Silbert on mankind.
As the truth of the day took off, Jin Tae-gyeong held his breath. The Skeleton King gritted his teeth, and Magic Johnson couldn’t believe it.
The prophet with the eyes that can’t. No, I looked at my doppelganger.
“Nonsense. It is clear that the raid on Paris at the time… …
“It was a dragon. To be exact, it was a Hatchling who was less than three hundred years old. Born as a dragon, he was naturally arrogant and careless like a child. Of course, even so, it was unexpected that he was killed by a human.”
The doppelganger who cut off Magic Johnson continued.
“Ultimately, I was out of luck. Even that young dragon, and a miracle against the dragon
Even the humans who survived as enemies.”
After wading through the waves of cataclysm with her whole body, the Grand Mage couldn’t stand it and moaned.
“… … It was a lie. It was all a lie made up by Michael Silbert.”
“well. I can’t say it’s completely made up. It was true that the dragon attacked Paris and that he survived alone.”
The doppelganger grinned.
“As soon as I first saw Michael, I got a feeling. Unlike other humans, he is
The mountain was fast. Before he could kill half of them, he knelt to me. I will do anything to live, so please just let me live;
….
“It was an interesting proposition. I accepted the proposal, and he killed the remaining humans with his own hands.”
Jin Tae-gyeong suddenly remembered. Before Michael Silvert met her end, she said one word she had heard in their last conversation.
‘I, too, struggled to survive!’
A cry that sounded like vomiting blood.
That’s right. Michael Silbert struggled to live. He had a greater desire to survive than anyone else, and he had unfulfilled ambitions.
That’s how humans and monsters joined hands.
But it was a contract, not a fetter. Two monsters with different appearances but the same essence make a contract to achieve their respective goals.
but… … .
“What was it for?”
” what?”
“I asked what it was for. The real purpose of living among people in this world.”
At the sound of Jin Tae-gyeong’s voice that came out like chewing and spitting out, the doppelganger, who had been silent for a while, raised the corner of his mouth.
“well. I don’t think this is the time to wait for my answer.”
and that moment.
Hard.
