Episode 179 – Resurrection?
drooling.
The figure of Seo-joon, who opened the coffin lid and looked at it, was still pale.
limp body.
No vitality to be found at all.
It was literally a corpse, not a living corpse.
“Keuk…”
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Seo-yoon burst into tears.
After a while, he turned around to avoid his seat, and then he slumped back and sat down.
Suyeon and Hayoon hurriedly approached Seoyoon and comforted her.
But who comforts whom?
Even in the eyes of the two of them, tears comparable to Seoyoon’s were flowing endlessly.
At the sight of such a dream team, countless people gathered here burst into tears together.
Waves of mourning burst forth.
Minyul gnawed at it.
He suppressed his boiling emotions as much as possible and did not turn his gaze toward Seo-joon.
If you didn’t do it, there was no one to do it for you.
Still… but still…
Isn’t this the last farewell to the captain?
“Leader···”
Minyul’s voice was hoarse.
Eventually, Minyul slowly took something out of his arms.
A heavy bundle of money.
And a dazzling necklace was in Minyul’s hand.
As a necklace symbolizing the British royal family, it was a treasure worth hundreds of billions of won.
It was a rare treasure that only the queen could wear, but Aria willingly gave it to Seo-jun for free money.
Minyul first put the money in Seojun’s hand.
After that, she placed the necklace on Seo-jun’s chest.
Min-yul is, by any chance…? Thinking of doing that, I lightly put his necklace over Seo-jun’s nose.
And he immediately shook his head at his actions.
No matter how much Seo-joon was crazy about money, that was a story when he was alive.
Above all, he knew very well that it was all just a joke.
Does it make sense to wake up to the smell of money?
And as I said, it was a story when I was alive.
Seo-jun, who has already died, cannot be revived with mere money—.
pounding.
“…?”
Minyul’s movements stopped momentarily.
something… something… strange
It was strange rather than strange.
Minyul involuntarily expanded his senses.
OK.
Heartbreak…!
A faint heartbeat could be heard from somewhere.
Weak heartbeat?
Minyul expanded his senses to the fullest.
In the mood of such a people’s rhythm.
Inside Seo-jun’s body, the feeble sound of his heart was heard.
“・・・・・・!!!!”
In an instant, chaos began to rage in Min-yul’s mind.
At the same time, a thought flashed through my mind.
I knew it was a really crazy idea.
However, Min-yul took the bundle of money from Seo-joon’s hand.
And then palak.
The smell of money wafted toward Seo-jun’s nose.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Then the feeble heartbeat began to throb!
and momentarily
flash
Seo-joon’s eyes flashed open.
Seojun and Minyul’s eyes meet.
“What are you doing?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Minyul screamed and fell backwards.
All eyes were focused on the sudden scream of Minyul.
The members of the Dream Team stopped crying and looked at Minyul.
Min-yul had an expression as if he had seen something that should not exist in this world.
Perhaps because of that, Minyul’s eyes were half-turned.
Minyul was sitting on the floor, pointing at one place with his finger.
“Me, me, me, me…!!!”
The shock was so strong that I couldn’t even utter words.
People’s eyes followed Minyul’s fingers.
and.
“······ What?”
People could see Seo-joon standing up in the coffin.
A fleeting moment of silence.
“Uh, aaaaaaaaa!!”
“Oh ah ah ah ah ah ah!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The funeral home quickly turned into a mayhem.
‘What is it really?’
Seo-joon felt embarrassed and ascended to heaven.
Seojun slowly looked around.
A scene as if a solemn and grand ceremony was being held.
“Oh ah ah ah ah ah ah!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
In the meantime, countless people were screaming and running away in all directions.
And I don’t know why, but all their eyes were on Seo-joon.
“What is this…”
No, why are so many people gathered like this?
“Ears, ghosts!! The captain is a ghost!!”
“no! Undead! Someone resurrected my brother as an undead!”
“Stop, no way! Alice isn’t dead?”
“Oh, that can’t be! Alice with her own hands…!”
“I’ll check it with my spiritual skills!”
“Knights mounting sword!!! The opponent is the undead of Hunter Kim Seo-joon! Prepare for your life, everyone!”
The funeral hall turned into a mayhem, and now the atmosphere has changed to a battlefield.
“······ What is it really?”
Seo-jun could not keep up with the rapidly changing situation in seconds.
Seojun asked the gathered team members.
“What are you doing right now?”
And is it because of Seojun’s words?
For an instant, the team members looked at each other for a long time.
“Ji, are you really my brother…?”
“The real captain…?”
“Is it fake then?”
Despite Seo-joon’s firm answer, the team members did not easily believe it.
That would be the case, and Seo-jun’s heart had stopped for three days.
It didn’t stop for a few minutes or hours, but for three days.
If he was wearing the mask of a living being, he should have died.
Because there was no existence that could come back alive after the heart stopped for three days.
That’s why I had no choice but to be dubious about Seo Jun’s existence.
And just then.
Tadadak.
Someone squeezed through the gap and rushed at Seo-joon.
It was none other than Seoyoon.
There was no time to dissuade him from Seoyoon’s sudden action.
With her sword raised, Seoyoon threw herself at Seojun with all her might.
And Seo-joon did not avoid it.
Soon after, Seoyoon threw the sword aside.
Then, he dug into Seo-jun’s chest and hugged him.
Seoyoon held in her arms.
Seoyoon’s delicate shoulders began to shake slightly.
“Seo, Mr. Seoyoon…?”
Seo-jun could not hide his embarrassment.
It was because Seoyoon was crying in his arms.
And what happened in the meantime?
Seoyoon’s body in her arms was too thin.
“Don’t leave me… Really… Really don’t leave me anywhere…”
At the sound of Seoyoon’s voice leaking out like a thread, Seojun lowered his gaze gently.
Seoyoon also slightly raised her head and looked up at Seojun.
Seoyoon’s haggard face.
Something clear flowed down the obsidian-like eyes.
It seemed like a crying cat, so Seo-joon unknowingly burst out laughing.
Seoyoon lowered her head again and buried her face in Seojun’s chest.
Seoyoon’s shoulders were still shaking.
“I’m not going anywhere, leaving Seoyoon.”
Seo-jun gently hugged Seo-yoon.

As events in England became known, the world was literally turned upside down.
From nearby Europe to Asia, Africa and the Americas.
Literally, the whole world turned upside down.
The great monster of the end, the incarnation of Beserk.
Beserk, who was said to have died with the end of the cataclysm in the past, has reappeared in the world.
Beserk wasn’t just a monster.
The monster of the end called Cataclysm itself.
People are beginning to fall into fear and confusion that the second cataclysm has not begun.
As a result, there was no choice but to have questions about Jinrihoe.
Beserk was known to have been disposed of by the Great Voice and the Seven Apostles during the Cataclysm in the past.
However, the great monster of the apocalypse, who was said to be dead, has materialized under the skies of London.
People demanded an explanation from Jinrihoe.
However, Jinrihoe only kept silent.
Meanwhile.
Along with Beserk’s incarnation, there was a character that was naturally illuminated.
『Kim Seo-joon, where is his limit!!』
The person who stopped Beserk, Seo Jun.
His story of single-handedly stopping the monster of the end made the whole world buzz.
『Dream Team, England’s Heroes Following Italy!』
『After the cataclysm, the first hero was born?!』
『Asia’s Big Star, Save the World!』
What was different from Italy was that only Italy and Korea were not saying that.
Literally all over the world.
The whole world was excited about the story of Seo-joon.
The White House located in Washington, USA.
This place is called the White House.
“Uh, is that really true…?”
“What nonsense…”
“I couldn’t believe it at first either.”
The person who appeared to be a secretary picked up the remote control and turned on the TV set in the conference room.
On the screen in the TV, along with the current London scene, the contents I had just heard were being repeated the same way.
“Uh, how can this…!”
One of America’s leading cataclysmic heroes.
The Saint of Light, Leia, jumped up from her seat and shouted.
nonsense.
What kind of monster is Beserk?
Even if all the heroes of the cataclysm in the past rushed at it, it was a being that did not dare to do anything.
It was literally the monster of the apocalypse.
However, the monster was dealt with alone…?
Not even a cataclysmic hero, but an S-class hunter?
“Common sense, this is…”
No matter how much I thought about it, it made no sense.
Having personally experienced the power of Beserk, I was sure of that.
“And what does it mean to say that he died and came back to life three days later…? Not a professional hunter, but even a messenger of God—”
“I’m still coming out with that word.”
Someone interrupted Leah and shouted.
Another cataclysmic hero representing America.
It was Lisberry, the demon hunter.
“I heard that there are even followers who follow Kim Seo-joon. Is it money school? I’m going to look at all the crazy names.”
“Money Bridge…?”
It’s not Seojun Kim, it’s Money Kyo?
Silence fell in the meeting room for a moment.
“But can you?”
“I don’t know. Is it an exaggerated rumor or is it true?”
Risbury spoke calmly.
“But it doesn’t seem that Beserk has been destroyed.”
“also···.”
Leah nodded slowly.
Beserk is an apocalyptic monster called Cataclysm itself.
In a word, the Dungeon of Distortion was a bizarre phenomenon caused by the existence of Beserk.
That’s why, if Beserk was destroyed, the Distortion dungeons shouldn’t have occurred anymore.
However, Distortion dungeons continued to occur.
Even now, other heroes were working to solve the Distortion occurring in America.
That said, it was the same as meaning that Beserk was not destroyed.
“It looks like a great voice has come out in earnest… but if that’s the case, this isn’t something we can solve on our own.”
“Then… what would you like to do?”
A question that comes along with Risbury’s words.
It was none other than the current president of the United States, Richard.
Risbury looked at Richard and said.
“Send official letters to the world. It seems that the heroes of Cataclysm will have to gather once again.”
“That, that…!”
At Risbury’s words, everyone in the conference hall, including Richard, opened their eyes in surprise.
Calling Cataclysm Heroes.
That had never happened since the last battle with Beserk in the past.
“Are the heroes going to move?”
“then? Are you tired of not moving?”
Richard had nothing to say.
Seeing Richard like that, Risbury left the place as if she had nothing to see anymore.
Then all of a sudden
“Oh! and.”
Risbury continued as if she had forgotten the most important word.
“Seojun Kim. Don’t forget to call that friend too.”

Meanwhile.
After the grand happening at the funeral home ended.
Seo-joon was sitting alone in a room at Buckingham Palace.
Of course, it wasn’t an easy road to being alone like this.
To say that I was dominated because I was not crazy about money.
A new undead race related to money.
It wasn’t too loud.
Seo-joon didn’t have anything to explain, so he blurted it out.
Even Seo-joon didn’t know why he didn’t die in the first place because the observer didn’t explain.
However, I could only speculate that it had something to do with being dragged into the boundary space.
Because Seo-joon died and was resurrected (?) in the end, he could only separate them with the excuse of needing a break.
“Hmm…”
Seo-joon sat alone in the room and was deep in thought, fiddling with his necklace in his pocket.
It was a necklace that I slipped into my pocket when I got up from the coffin.
It seems to be valuable, but it is said that it is a treasure of the royal family worth hundreds of billions of won…
If you sell it back to Arya, hundreds of billions of causality… no.
Seojun shook his head once.
And then I went back to thinking properly.
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t really believe the words of the observer…”
Seo-jun recalled his words with the observer once again.
According to the words of the observer in the boundary space.
A being who gave up transcendence was trying to destroy Seo-jun’s dimension.
The observer was silent about the identity of the existence, but Seo-jun could roughly guess.
“A great voice…”
Maybe not.
But for now, it was the most probable.
So, one question arises here.
“Why didn’t you kill me?”
Why didn’t the great voice kill Seojun?
Right after Seo-joon collapsed to hear from Aria.
It is said that some unidentified being tried to kill Seo-joon.
But in the end, he didn’t kill Seo-joon.
Of course, there was no certainty that the being was a great voice.
A great voice has never been seen before.
The Great Voice was literally an unknown being, with no age, gender, or existence.
But the inaction he showed at the time.
It was an inaction that did not yield at all even when compared to Beserk.
It was not difficult to see that he was a being who gave up the transcendence that the contemplator said.
In the end, it is unclear whether he is a great voice, but it is certain that he is a being who wants to destroy the dimension.
So, to him, Seo-joon was a clear hindrance.
Therefore, he should have killed Seo-joon.
But didn’t kill it.
“why?”
Because he judged Seo-joon’s heart stopped condition as already dead?
“Hmm…”
Seo-joon’s thoughts only deepened.
And one more thing.
“Why are you trying to destroy the dimension?”
Why does that being want to destroy the dimension?
That is, even while giving up transcendence.
Just because you don’t like it?
The observer did not say anything about this.
There were two possible reasons for this.
Even the watchers don’t know.
Or even know it and hide it.
Since the observer did not say anything about it, it was not known whether it was true or not.
However, Seo-joon intuitively felt that the observer knew the reason.
In a word, it meant that the observer knew about it but hid it from Seo-jun.
Then why did the observer have to hide the reason?
And one more thing.
“The relationship between the Observer and the Transcendent Academy is not good.”
At first glance, the observer’s willingness to mention the transcendent academy even felt anger.
If you listen only to the words of the observer, the transcendent academy is the axis of evil that destroys the world.
However, the transcendent academy that Seo-joon had seen and experienced was not such an image at all.
“Hmm…”
unresolved questions.
Seo-joon immediately took out his smartphone.
“This too. It’s faster to ask directly.”
There was no reason to hold on and hang on, even though I struggled inwardly, no answer came.
Best of all, a free coupon from the observer.
How not to use it!
There is still money left to collect from Aria, but the free coupon came first!
“Should I learn the Cheonwol Meteor Spear and the Taoist arts with the Dan and Lecture of Jecheon Daeseong?”
Either that or…
“Sakyamuni’s Dan and Lecture!!”
Seojun opened his eyes and shouted.
The strongest unit and lecture in history that consumes causal units per hour.
That’s why it was a college and lecture that I couldn’t even dream of, but now it didn’t matter at all.
why?
“Because there is a free coupon!!”
Seo-joon shuddered and trembled.
Of course, from what I heard last time, Shakyamuni’s dan and lectures were not established.
But isn’t it something you don’t know?
And even if it wasn’t a lecture, it didn’t matter.
“I can fit one more transcendent equipment!”
The free coupon erases ‘all’ causalities that the Transcendent Academy requires!
Since his main weapon was the spear of Longinus, it seemed like there was no need to change it.
Then… it wouldn’t be bad to rob Odin of Gungnir.
Or take away Jecheon Daeseong’s Yeouibong?
“Will it be around 100? Ha ha ha ha ha!!”
Seo-jun suppressed his bursting heart and accessed the transcendent academy.
Then, he opened the 1:1 message box and left a message telling the mentor to jump out immediately.
T-ring!
Then, a notification sounded that the message had been replied to.
“oh! Can I just take care of this and visit you?
‘Like last time, what the hell is this?’
Seo-joon felt sorry for him, but he left an answer telling him to do so.
And then, the moment I tried to put my smartphone in my arms.
Pop!
<Time delay attack!>
Suddenly, a mentor popped out of the screen.
“Wow sir!! It’s a surprise!!!”
Seo-joon was so surprised that he threw away his smartphone.
