Chapter 119 – Unmoving Heart (2)
My mind flashed along with the exploding demon’s thoughts, and my head throbbed.
The silent darkness stretches for a long time and encroaches on the surrounding space.
My heart started beating wildly, and the fear imprinted like an instinct spread throughout my body.
Fear and dread creep in.
Reason is paralyzed and thoughts are erased.
The devil’s thoughts burrow once again between the consciousness that seems to fly far away.
The devil’s thoughts were certainly on a different level from Draug’s.
Even Seo-joon was dizzy at the roaring sound that resounded like a tinnitus in hell.
Is that why?
[There is only one real question in life.]
Sakyamuni’s words, which had not been heard at all, reached Seo-jun’s ears.
[Suicide.]
[Is life really worth living? This is the ultimate question of life.]
[The rest is just details. Then I will ask.]
[Why don’t you end your life?]
.
.
It was over.
After that, I could no longer hear Shakyamuni’s voice.
“what···?”
Seojun was a little embarrassed.
That’s because it’s never been like this before.
To be precise, this was the first time Shakyamuni had ever asked a question.
Moreover, Shakyamuni’s question itself was quite strange.
What are your reasons for not committing suicide?
Just in case, Seojun checked the progress of the Shakyamuni lecture.
However, it did not rise from 49.9%.
“what···?”
Seojun tilted his head.
And right at that moment.
───────────!!!
The devil’s thoughts began to explode again.
At the same time, the voice of Shakyamuni was heard again and again like an hallucination.
[Why don’t you end your life?]
But the content remained the same.
And the progress of the lecture didn’t go up any more.
“Couldn’t it be… that you have to answer the question to get over 50%?”
So Seo-joon naturally had no choice but to think this way.
If you think about it, in the meantime, the progress of the lecture went up simply by listening to the lecture.
Of course, to be precise, it wasn’t just listening.
It is because the progress rate of the lectures increased only when you deeply understand and accept the contents of Shakyamuni’s lectures.
However, it was the first time that Shakyamuni had asked questions like this rather than giving a sermon.
In order to pass 50%, it is not simply listening and understanding,
It seemed that I had to find enlightenment myself.
“Hmm…”
Seo-joon had no choice but to fall into deep trouble.
And the devil who watched Seo-joon like that.
-Kiik…?
The devil’s expression began to go blank without even realizing it.
It is also true that the thought he emits now is the top layer of the world of desire where he resides.
It was because it was a thought brought from the demonic heaven of the sixth heaven.
The thought there is, just by facing an ordinary human being,
It was madness to the point of being destroyed, beyond going insane.
“Oh, you wait a minute. ‘Cause I need to think Keep your thoughts alive.”
But what is this now…
Of course, Seojun’s face was frowning.
But it’s madness, fear, horror.
These feelings seemed quite far away.
Just to the extent of facing a headache?
In a word, it meant that to Seo-jun, Macheon’s thoughts were nothing more than a headache.
-······
The devil is at a loss for words.
“This, what is this…”
And it wasn’t much different from spirituality.
Spirituality was also because he personally felt how terrible the thoughts bursting out now were.
Even this was just a side note.
The place these terrible thoughts are headed is none other than Seo-jun.
Spirituality was to the point of giving goosebumps even though it was facing the thoughts that escaped around it.
“Why don’t you commit suicide? What question is this?”
But what you see now…
And that was the moment.
– Kiik?
The devil, who had finally recognized the existence of spirituality, tilted his head.
And then I smiled and smiled.
───────────!!!
Suddenly, the direction of the thoughts that had been ejected from Seo-jun began to turn to Young-seong.
Young-seong noticed that and hurriedly raised his energy.
“…!”
But even for such a spirituality, the demonic heaven’s thoughts were a bit too much for them.
“Keuk…!”
In the end, spirituality was immersed in that terrible thought and stumbled.
Seo-jun was able to endure without incident because he had Shakyamuni’s immovable mind, but spirituality was not.
As a hero of Cataclysm, the spiritual level of spirituality was quite outstanding.
It wasn’t to a considerable degree, but there was almost no one to follow.
However, compared to Shakyamuni’s unsteady mind, to be honest, it was nothing compared to him.
Of course, in terms of handling mental abilities, Seo-jun could not follow Young-seong.
However, in terms of the status itself, on the contrary, Youngseong could not follow Seojun.
“Youngseong-nim?!”
“It’s okay… it’s okay.”
Still, is spirituality spirituality?
Spirituality did not lose consciousness even though it was engulfed by the devil’s thoughts.
It seemed that the clearing of the energy, albeit little by little, pushed away the thought.
“Kuhh…!”
Still, the suffering remained the same.
Seo-joon turned his head and looked at the devil.
however.
sigh.
For some reason, the devil was looking at Seo-joon with a deep smile.
It was as if he had found something he had forgotten for a while.
just as expected.
Swoouuuuuuuuuuu…
In an instant, the demon’s body turned into smoke and disappeared from Seo-jun’s senses.
“······what?”
Seeing such a demon, Seo-joon was immediately taken aback.
It was also because Chiron’s senses did not feel the existence of the devil at all.
Can’t feel the presence even with Chiron’s senses…?
No, it couldn’t have been.
There was no way the demon could escape Chiron’s senses.
You may be able to cheat for a while, but it is impossible to completely escape.
Then there is only one answer.
the demon escaped
“I am, indeed. I never thought the devil would escape.”
Seojun shrugged in embarrassment.
It was because even so, I couldn’t get out of this dungeon.
Besides, since it has already revealed its existence once, it will not be able to hide again.
Getting caught is a matter of time…
‘for a moment.’
Seo-joon paused at the thought that suddenly came to his mind.
Then, he turned his head and looked around, and only Young-seong came into Seo-jun’s field of vision.
No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find a single being.
“Youngseong. Where is the spirit?”
none other than the existence of a divine spirit.
The devil had been aiming for the divine spirit from the beginning.
I still don’t know why.
However, the devil was aiming for the divine spirit from the beginning.
So, the reason why Seo-jun ran first was to prevent the devil from doing other tricks.
But now, the appearance of the invisible spirit.
The devil’s laugh that just smirked.
If the devil for a moment encroached upon the spirit of spirituality.
What if you knew the location of the divine spirit?
“I came alone because I don’t want my spirit to be eroded by that terrible thought…”
tadak.
Before Seo-joon could finish his words, he kicked himself and ran forward.
At the same time, Chiron’s senses were expanded for an instant to find the location of the spirit.
Then one corner of the senses.
I was able to recognize the place where morale and spiritual energy were intertwined.
Seo-joon stepped on Jang Sam-bong’s steps and moved quickly.
where it arrived.
There was no demon to be seen there.
To be precise, the shape of the devil could not be seen.
In addition to the huge body, the large horns on the head.
Eyes burning red.
The pure white hair, which would be insufficient to say pure white, is now dyed blacker than anything else.
Among all spirits, there was no spirit, the noblest and holiest soul.
Only the most filthy and evil spirits, evil spirits, were taking their places.
“Unbelievable! What a divine spirit!”
Youngseong, who had followed Seojun, exclaimed in surprise at the appearance of such a spirit.
again.
Every step the deer takes, the spirit of death that has engulfed the surroundings bursts out at once.
A son-in-law engulfed by evil energy and a jet-black aura radiating out around him.
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
Suddenly, Young-seong collapsed on the spot with a scream.
“Youngseong!”
Seojun hurriedly supported Youngseong’s body.
Spirituality was trembling, exposing the whites of her body.
again.
The thought of the evil spirit bursting out once again.
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
At the same time, the screams of spirituality grew louder.
And with such spirituality, Seo-joon was able to realize why the devil was aiming for the spirit.
No, the devil wasn’t aiming for a divine spirit in the first place.
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
It was aimed at spirituality from the beginning.
However, the mental level of spirituality was not a level that could be touched carelessly.
Even just looking at it, I was tormented by the demonic thoughts, but my spirituality was not shaken.
Spirituality is a state of being spiritually connected with spirituality.
If you cannibalize the spirit, you can directly interfere with the spirit of spirituality.
Spirits were also possessors of formidable soul status, but not as much as spirituality.
Since you cannot possess spirituality directly, you use a divine spirit to erode spirituality.
This was the devil’s real purpose.
sigh.
The demon’s mouth twists grotesquely.
The demon must be eliminated.
If left as it is, spirituality is at risk.
It’s the progress of the lecture, and I have to get rid of the devil.
But how…
It is also true that the devil is currently entangled with the spirit and transformed into an evil spirit.
Of course, Longinus’s spear penetrated the essence, so it was not difficult to strike.
But is it possible for demons to strike only when they are entangled with each other?
‘There is no time to worry.’
Seo-joon did not continue to worry for a long time.
Time is not on Seo-joon’s side.
First you have to move.
Seojun grabbed Longinus’s spear.
And the moment I was about to run straight toward the evil spirit.
Roaring!
Suddenly, a hot flame blocked Seo-jun’s path.
The primordial heat that makes your flesh burn.
Seo-jun had no choice but to step back in a hurry.
Then he turned his head to find the cause of the flame.
“Youngseong!”
What sparked that spark was none other than spirituality.
Numerous spirits were hovering around the spirituality.
Spiritualist Spirituality.
Just as demons are called War Mage in foreign countries.
The names that call spirituality are also quite diverse.
Although they are mainly called spiritists, there were also shamans and shamans.
Among them, there were people who called themselves “Elementalists” or “Elementalists.”
The personalities of the elements that make up the world, spirits.
Representatively, the four elemental properties known as water, fire, wind, and earth were just that,
Spirituality knew how to command all the four elemental spirits.
And now.
All those spirits were summoned around spirituality.
Spiritual pupils dyed red.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung…!
The earth shakes and the ground cracks and cracks.
The passing wind became a blade,
The fire of primordial heat burns even the air,
The water of life was dyed black and polluted the surroundings.
Hero of cataclysm, spirituality.
In the end, she was corrupted by the devil’s thoughts.
“Youngseong! Wake up!”
Seo-joon brandished the spear of Longinus and shouted at Young-seong.
However, the soul of Youngseong, who was engulfed by evil spirits, could not hear Seo-jun’s voice.
Again, the voice of spirituality is heard.
“You too… aren’t you the same guy after all?”
The voice was different.
A voice echoes through space like an echo tinged with wickedness.
“Relax!”
Seojun grabbed the spear of Longinus and rushed at the evil spirit.
All of this is from demons.
If only the evil spirits were dealt with, everything would be over.
but.
Aaaaaaaang!
The ground exploded in front of Seo-joon, and a huge explosion exploded.
At the same time, the heat of the original flame surges toward Seo-jun.
The polluted water clung to Seo-jun’s ankles,
The blade of the wind hides its shape and aims for Seo-jun’s neck.
Whew——Oh!
“Keugh!”
In the end, Seo-joon had no choice but to step back.
I can’t get close to the demons.
Spirituality blocks us from approaching evil spirits.
In the end, you have to defeat your spirituality, but is that possible?
Spirituality is a cataclysmic hero.
Even if Seo-joon did his best, he was an existence that could not guarantee a victory.
Even if you win, what about spirituality?
What about Seojun after that?
What are the remaining demons?
It’s an outsider.
No matter which side you choose, someone must make a sacrifice.
there is no other way.
sigh.
the devil laughs
Seo-joon gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Youngseong! Calm down! Isn’t Youngseong the hero of the cataclysm that saved the world! Don’t be swayed by these thoughts!”
The heroes of Cataclysm were the noble ones who sacrificed themselves for the world.
The reason they are different from today’s professional hunters is not just in terms of skills.
The will they sacrificed for the sake of the world and humanity.
To the people, the hero of the cataclysm was such a being.
The title of hero was such a title.
but.
“Once upon a time it was…”
There is deceit in the voice.
“I have long dreamed of creating such a world. A world where no one gets hurt and no one is unhappy. But . . . what is the world like now?”
It was no longer the devil’s voice.
“The days of Cataclysm were devastating. My child, have you seen the sight of people exchanging children for food because they have nothing to eat?”
“Did you see the human flesh of children hanging on every street?”
“Have you lived through a time when you sacrifice others to live and feel relieved that today’s death is not you?”
The cataclysm was an era called the end of the world.
A world gone mad because it couldn’t be destroyed.
“Law and order, which controlled people, have collapsed, and ethics and morality, which sit on the edge of reason, have been torn to shreds.”
Spirituality says.
“I struggled to change that world. But… in the end, nothing changed.”
Hunger was forever.
The pain hasn’t changed.
“In the days of cataclysm, I still felt happy to be alive, but now… I feel pain because I am still alive.”
A society where the weak are weeded out and only the strong survive.
A society where nothing can be done without power.
A professional hunter who kicks a child who cries out to save his parents, saying that there is no money.
A job that is no longer just about making money.
“Monsters cannot speak, but we do. The dumb monster and the talking beast. The world is the only difference between monsters and humans.”
And what made such a society the world.
“I am the world I made. So I tried to change the world once again. But my colleagues stopped me.”
Five guilds that make the world sick.
“Then they said what makes it different from them. I can clearly see people suffering and suffering. My comrades, like the others, turned away.”
Spirituality eventually left them.
Secluded in a place no one knew, he made up his mind using spiritual training as an excuse.
But the more you do, the more you hear the grudge of the world.
The cry of the dead souls.
People sometimes say they want to die,
It has not yet reached the murder.
People shout hard,
The sound has not yet reached a scream.
Their laughter also did not reach life completely,
That laughter has not yet reached happiness.
There are too many people crying out sorrow in the world.
There are so many eyes that shed tears and look up at the sky with resentment and resentment.
dying of starvation.
A person who took his own life, weighed down by the weight of life.
many.
There is so much pain in the world.
There are too many screams buried without sound.
they say
Why are only you guys happy?
tell the spirit
why did you make us like this
Those who suffer in the world created by spirituality.
Those whose spirituality has not been cared for.
“I hate myself for that.”
Spirituality was carrying all the sorrows of the world.
“I will no longer turn a blind eye to their sorrow for which I am responsible.”
The eyes of spirituality are dyed red.
“The death of one is a tragedy, but the death of a hundred is accepted as a number. Therefore, by the death of all, I will give everyone an equal rest.”
twisted thoughts.
twisted heart.
“My child, you cannot stop me.”
Spirituality was crying out on behalf of all the sorrows that had passed by.
To the world that turned away and ignored us.
Youngseong built a wall with the world and devoted himself to spiritual practice.
It was known to the world as spiritual practice, but it seemed that it was not simply for that purpose.
The corruption of spirituality was not made only by the thoughts of evil spirits.
Evil spirits were merely germinated, and were the result of spirituality itself.
seeds of doubt.
The agony of being a cataclysm hero.
And Seo-jun, who listened to such spirituality.
“·······”
Seo-joon couldn’t say anything at the words of such spirituality.
It was because there was nothing wrong with spirituality.
last 10 years.
When Seo-jun tried to become a professional hunter, he knew the cruelty of the world better than anyone else.
The world is not beautiful.
dirty and nasty
I’m having such a hard time, but other people are laughing and talking and being happy.
Perhaps, as Youngseong said, the times of cataclysm might have been better.
Back then, at least I could feel the happiness of being alive.
But now I feel the pain of being alive.
Every day, people who are thinking about ending their lives appear one after another.
Because Seo-joon also… was like that.
So Seo-joon seemed to know now.
Seo-joon seemed to know about such spiritual troubles.
[Why don’t you end your life?]
Why did Shakyamuni ask such a question?
now
now i get it I will finally know
Seojun firmly gripped Longinus’s spear.
emotions sink
the mind calms down
The heart beats as if it would explode at any moment, but the head and reason cool down more than anything else.
seojun says:
“Why do you only look at those people?”
Then, turbulently, Seo-joon moved toward spirituality.
Then, the spirits attack Seo-jun.
Seojun slowly approached Youngseong, wielding the spear of Longinus.
“As Youngseong said, the world is not very beautiful. the pain of not being able to speak. Many people die because of it. but···”
Ka-ang!
“Even though life is difficult, there are many people who find happiness in their daily lives even though it is small, and endure today’s pain and tomorrow’s exhaustion.”
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
A sharp sound reverberates over the exploding earth.
“There are not only strong people in the world that you have to fight, nor are there only weak people who you need to help.”
All people live with the weight of the day.
And the weight of that day is too heavy. It’s so heavy that I can’t breathe.
Will I be able to survive the day? It feels like my heart is being crushed.
Even after the day is over, my heart is weighed down again by the day that will come again tomorrow.
“People don’t have time to be sad.”
It’s not about ignoring the suffering of others.
They just don’t have the strength to grieve for others.
They just don’t have the energy to suffer for the unjustly deceased.
“Because if you don’t suffer each day, you can’t live a day. people who died unjustly. people who have lost their lives. A lot. It’s sad. So, let’s say that Young Seong-nim mourns for them instead. however···”
Ka——Ah!
“How long are you going to be sad?”
“what?”
“Until no one dies unfairly again? Until no one is unhappy?”
Roaring!
Ka-ang!
“Isn’t Youngseong-nim having a hard time?”
People must continue today.
Tomorrow as you did today, and the next day as you did tomorrow.
You can live only if you continue like that.
They live in fear of when that tomorrow will collapse.
that’s life life to survive.
In it, people find small but pleasure.
Have a drink. playing gambling
Sing songs and go for a walk in the streets.
Watching the scenery beautifully dyed, I smiled and smiled.
that is allowed to us.
I’ve collected a lot of things so that I can barely die.
is our hope.
“It is a precious happiness.”
which.
“It is the happiness created by none other than Youngseong.”
A daily life restored by ending the era of cataclysm.
It made me feel that it was a daily life in a world where only survival was longed for.
But why
“Are you trying to only look at those who are sick and suffering?”
“…!!”
In an instant, the red aura began to disappear from the pupils of spirituality.
Then, the evil spirit, noticing the hint, began pouring out more and more thoughts.
But just then.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A tremendous energy began to emanate from Seo-joon’s whole body.
It instantly purified the thoughts pouring from the evil spirits.
An ethereal yet mysterious energy continues to emanate from Seo-joon.
Spirituality was able to get a glimpse of Seo-jun’s endless spiritual world.
“…!”
Also, spirituality was able to see a certain existence in it, albeit vaguely.
Somewhere, a calm voice pierces the ears of spirituality like hallucinations.
[Do not turn your eyes away from that happiness. Do not turn your eyes away from that happiness and deny life.]
[Goodness corrupts like that.]
By the same good, not evil.
To the contradiction that the same good could not keep good.
The line is corrupted.
[Life is like a flower road you walk backwards. Only after you have passed it, will you know how beautiful the road was?]
[Do not forget also that the road became a flower garden because you walked that road.]
“Ahhh···!”
The eyes of spirituality become calm.
The red-tinged eyes disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, the model of spirituality collapses on the floor.
and.
Tring!
<Shakyamuni Lecture Progress 63.6% (+13.7%)>
The progress of Shakyamuni’s lecture, which had stopped, began to rise.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
At the same time, the ethereal energy that had been emanating from Seo-jun began to explode once again.
And they began to spread out and cover the entire dungeon.
Ooh oh oh oh…!
Against that energy, the evil spirit poured out endless thoughts.
But for some reason, no matter how much I poured out my thoughts, I couldn’t counter this aura.
It is not shaken by any thought, madness, or fear.
Since the heart of the beginning is not shaken, nothing around it is swept away.
It just purifies again.
-!!!
The evil spirit’s expression began to turn into astonishment.
Because the demon… had once encountered this power.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation, those who exist far beyond that.
An existence that even the lord of the demonic sky did not dare to do anything about.
Why is the power of that existence here…!
This was something that couldn’t happen.
That power is absolutely something that humans can neither possess nor possess!
How dare you be a human!
oooooooooooo!!
The evil spirit squeezed out all its power and exploded its thoughts.
This thought that bursts out after uniting with the divine spirit was at a level comparable to that of the lord of the demonic sky.
but.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung…!
A far transcendent power emanates from Seo-joon’s whole body.
The evil spirit begins to be amazed at the source of its transcendental power.
The progress of the Sakyamuni River and the elevated level of the upper level field.
The power of the magical power that erupted from the three-tiered field was truly transcendent.
A power that far transcends causality.
Seo-joon trudged and slowly moved toward the evil spirit.
-Key, keyik…!
The evil spirit was crushed by the force and began to stagger and backtrack.
thump
Seo-joon grabbed the demon by the scruff of the neck.
The trembling eyes of evil spirits.
“You are neither.”
Seo-joon sighed, spitting out the words.
“Physical is a piece of paper the moment your mental collapses.”
That moment.
───────────!!
The indefinable far-off power explodes once again through Seo-jun’s whole body.
And it was purifying the essence of the evil spirit that was entangled with the divine spirit.
The evil spirit could neither escape nor resist its power.
common sense and cognition. A mysterious power that transcends causality.
A power that made even the lord of the demons kneel.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!!!
-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
That uncontrollable enormous power, the far-fetched power that transcends cause and effect, swallows the evil spirits.
The source of its terrifying power pours down upon the demon.
In mythology, an absolute being who opposes God.
A resident of the sixth heaven who dwells at the top of the desire realm.
that demon,
-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
It was the moment when it disappeared without a trace.
