Chapter 206 – Promise (1)
“Haha! Watcher! long time no see!”
At the will of the observer, Seo-joon raised his hand.
“ha···.”
Looking at Seo-jun like that, the observer let out a sigh without even realizing it.
Of course, the observer was an incorporeal being.
Therefore, it was more correct to describe it as a will filled with resentment rather than a sigh.
So, should I say Hanuiji?
No, that’s okay, let’s say yes.
what more?
Long time no see?
What the hell is that crazy guy thinking about the concept of ‘long time no see’?
Of course, Seo-jun is only a mortal being.
And the concept of time that Seo-joon, who is only a mortal being, thinks,
The concept of time is different for contemplatives who have lived through unimaginable years.
To give a simple example, years are but a moment to the observer.
That’s why Seo-jun feels that the concept of ‘long time no see’ can be applied to the current meeting!
Even by human standards, it was absolutely not a long time!
ha.
Unknowingly, the observer’s will leaked out.
“How did you get here again?”
“what? Aren’t you watching everything?”
“I saw the view. I saw it…”
Of course, the observer watched the Eldritch from its birth to its extinction.
It was a matter of the destruction of the dimension, so I couldn’t stop paying attention.
But last minute.
It was impossible to see what was happening within the realm of annihilation magic that the eldritch had spread.
That space is an absolute realm.
It was an area where the laws of the world intervened but could not interfere.
Above all, Seo-joon’s cause and effect was in a state of being unable to see or perceive why.
The observer could not contemplate what was happening inside.
and actually what
I could tell without even contemplating it.
Because I was about to die.
Annihilation magic creates an absolute space that even observers cannot contemplate.
No one could come back alive in that space.
But why?
“Oh! Watcher, I’m not dead, right?”
Why is that madman here instead of dying?
“No. You say you have to die to come out, so are you dead? So he’s dead but not dead? Eh? What is this?”
『·······』
The observer has lost the will to say anything.
『What nonsense… Ha, no.』
The observer just kept his will firmly shut.
So far, I have experienced the existence of Seojun.
It was because it didn’t make any sense to explain it painfully.
『Dead beings cannot come here.』
So I just summed it up in one word.
“What do you mean…?”
“He didn’t die.”
“oh! Success too! I was talking about Gingamin!”
Seojun clenched his fists and shouted.
A space of annihilation magic that can only be escaped by the method of death.
It was a gamble, but it worked as expected.
Of course, the odds are pretty high.
“Hahahaha! It’s nice to see you again, sir! oh, but where are you? You can’t see the shape. Are you this way?”
Seojun raised his hand high while greeting in all directions, up and down, left and right.
Seeing Seo-joon like that, the observer was ridiculous.
Dead beings cannot come here.
However, the body of reality only reaches a state of death because the soul is dragged along.
In other words, it satisfies the ‘death’, the escape condition of the annihilation magic.
But it does not lead to actual death.
It is a double contradiction that can only be done outside the dimension, in the space of the boundary.
Although annihilation magic is absolute,
It was not to the extent of defying the call of the border space.
This call was a realm that even transcendentalists could not resist.
It was the only way to escape from the inevitable death of the annihilation magic.
however.
『By what means…』
It wasn’t something I wanted to do.
There are two ways to come to the boundary space.
Transcending and escaping causality,
Or act against the laws of the world.
『Hmm…』
The observer watched Seo Jun calmly.
also.
No matter how you look at it, it didn’t seem like Seo-jun had transcended.
But it was completely different from the last time I saw it.
‘Am I taking my first steps in the realm of transcendence in the meantime?’
It’s not really surprising, it’s phenomenal growth.
There was no existence that showed this level of growth among the beginners that the observer had seen.
The first transcendentalist, including him.
Of course, that was just the first step.
It was still far and hard to reach the end.
anyway.
Seojun did not transcend.
So, there is only one way for Seojun to come here.
It is said that he acted against the laws of the world.
But words are actions against the laws of the world.
that was just impossible.
The number of primitives distributed in each dimension was extremely small.
However, in all dimensions, there were quite a lot of beginners.
Only a small fraction of those countless beginners.
Let’s assume that even a very small part can act against the law.
Then, this is not a boundary space,
It should have been called the border love room.
However, this place is still called the boundary space.
that means that.
Actions that go against the laws of the world do not happen across all dimensions.
“I thought I was really going to die this time.”
‘But why is this guy…’
That’s already the 2nd time.
no
Wasn’t there an incident the other day where people were talking about free coupons or something?
If you think about that crazy thing, it was already the 3rd time.
A first-time student who is not a transcendentalist visits the boundary space 3 times?
No, in the first place, there were almost no transcendentalists who visited more than twice.
“Well, whatever. You didn’t forget your promise, did you?”
At that moment, Seojun’s voice was heard.
But promise?
“What promise are you talking about?”
“Why, the other day, you promised to give me a free coupon when I come back here.”
『·······?』
The observer calmly looked back at the memory.
And soon I could recall.
“That was when I called you back. But isn’t that the case with you now?”
“Huh? You can’t talk to me now!”
『I’m not talking about it, but that was definitely the condition!』
Where is this guy going to cheat again!
“I made it clear back then! What if the watcher hears it wrong and gets away with it! You’re incompetent, but now you can’t even lie!”
『This guy!』
The observer shouted with an angry will.
“Let’s see if you can scream loudly like this!”
The observer looked at the record of cause and effect at the time.
After a little while, the conversation at that time was played back.
‘It’s nothing. If I ever come back to this boundary space, please give me a free coupon.’
‘good night. I understand, so get out quickly.’
『This crazy.』
In an instant, the observer’s mind was lost.
#
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
The jet-black space was scattered without a trace.
Annihilation magic is an absolute realm that brings inevitable death to both beings.
There is only one number of cases where the space of such annihilation magic disappears.
“no···!”
“Leader!”
“brother!”
Minyul, Suyeon, and Hayoon jumped inside.
After that, the heroes of the cataclysm, including the swordsman, jumped in.
Inside the scattered jet-black space.
There, I saw Seo-joon lying on the floor.
An unknown anxiety creeps up.
The Dream Team members raised Seo-jun with both hands to check his condition.
A limp body and a pale complexion.
I couldn’t possibly be considered a person with life.
Seo-joon’s heart was not beating.
Then the heroes gathered.
After checking Seo-jun’s condition, he drool.
“No… it won’t be…!”
Su-yeon shouted as if denying reality.
It was also because he resembled the appearance of Seo-jun he saw right after the battle with Beserk.
However, Soo-yeon actually knew that the case was different from that time.
I don’t know if I would have died then.
He might have mistakenly thought he was dead.
But not now.
The realm of annihilation magic will never disappear as long as the existence of the soul remains.
Therefore, the dispersal of the realm of annihilation magic meant that the existence of the soul had disappeared from the phenomenal world.
The soul disappears from the phenomenal world.
That meant absolute death.
That moment.
“Ahhh···.”
A faint voice came from somewhere.
At the place where the sound came from, Seoyoon trudged, walking.
Although the body, which was torn and covered in blood here and there, seemed difficult to stand.
Although it seems difficult to even keep one’s spirits up.
Seoyoon quickly moved on and sat down in front of Seojun.
Seoyoon stared blankly at Seojun’s face.
It was pale.
Seo-joon’s face was very pale.
fluff.
Seoyoon’s body collapsed like a doll with a string off.
“Seo Yoon!”
The Sword Master hurriedly rushed in to check Seoyoon’s condition.
Fortunately, my heart was beating, albeit weakly.
It seemed that he couldn’t handle the shock to his already ill-tempered body.
Geomseong slowly turned his gaze to look at Seojun.
why.
Why the hell…!
The swordsman gnawed at his teeth.
A thick silence descends.
The demon king disappeared,
Residual despair remains and roams.
Truly miserable and full of malice.
The way is clear and the direction is clear.
But what is the reason for the silence?
The heads of the heroes fell one by one.
Too-ta-ta-ta-ta-!
Only the sound of the propeller of the helicopter sending out the screen resonates silently.
people all over the world,
I was watching Seo-joon’s death.
#
“Look at that! I’m right!”
At the sound that sounded like that of a tape recorder, Seo-joon shouted loudly.
However, the observer did not have the energy to react.
No, why did I do that?
The observer closely examined the record of cause and effect.
And I soon realized why.
If Seo-joon comes back to the boundary space.
If you call Seo Joon.
I did not consider the difference between the two significant.
Unless he calls for it,
It was because there was no way for Seo-joon to come to the boundary space.
“So hurry up please!”
Exactly because I thought it would be.
The observer stood there blankly, having no will to say anything.
As long as it was the will he had uttered, he couldn’t take it back.
It had to do with time, the flow that makes up the world.
Causality called history.
There, every word and word of will is recorded and left behind.
It is forever frozen, never melting or breaking.
It didn’t mean much to an existence bound by the law of cause and effect.
Because there was a convenient means called lies.
However, it was not for the observer who oversees cause and effect.
Of course, it wasn’t that there was no way.
This is possible if the parties involved in the causal relationship negotiate.
“Why are you suddenly silent?”
But look at those red eyes.
Is it possible to negotiate…?
The observer had no will to say anything.
“No way… no, wait a minute.”
Suddenly, Seo-joon’s expression began to change in an unusual way.
“Come to think of it, shouldn’t this be paid extra?
Unsurprisingly, the unusual contents flowed from the unusual expression.
“You asked to prevent the end from beings who gave up their transcendence. Eldritch didn’t say anything. This is an unsolicited task.”
Something… was about to begin.
The observer hurriedly opened his will.
『Ah, got it! If you give it, it will be fine if you give it!』
“No, well… that’s what it says.”
Seo-joon smiled shyly.
The observer really had no will to say anything.
『Hmm…』
The observer was lost in thought for a moment.
It was because there was still a problem to be solved even if it was given when it was given.
The observer slowly opened his will.
“I have one more thing to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“How on earth did you come here again?”
“Ah, that’s it…”
Seojun slowly opened his mouth as if trying to explain.
And the observer waited for Seo-jun’s words to continue pretending to be calm.
Actually, I didn’t have to listen.
As in the case of the previous collapse, it was because it was recorded as cause and effect.
And the cause and effect recorded in this way is applied as a law again.
In a word, data accumulates and cannot come to the boundary space again in that way.
That’s why Seojun came here.
It only mattered in itself.
Nevertheless, the reason the observer asked Seo-jun was simple.
‘Cause and effect have not been recorded!’
Because Seo-jun’s actions were not recorded!
It was none other than annihilation magic.
There is causal interference, but it is an absolute realm that cannot intervene.
What happened there was not recorded at all.
that means that.
You can come here again with the same action.
to say this again.
‘That bastard is coming here again!’
Can not be done!
Absolutely not!
It must be stopped at all costs!
So, you need to find out what the action was!
The observer waited anxiously for Seo-jun’s words.
Soon, Seojun’s mouth opened slowly.
“It’s just… I somehow ended up here.”
huh?
『What is that…?』
Seo-joon smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
“Ah, what does that matter?”
It is important.
very important!
All dimensions are more important than anything else!!
But for some reason, Seo-joon seemed unwilling to say anything.
The observer insidiously opened his will as if he were floating.
『If you let me know, I will give you a free coupon then.』
“It’s very complicated to explain…”
“Okay. I’m willing to listen to everything, so take it slow—”
The observer momentarily stopped uttering his will.
It was also because Seo-jun’s expression was not very serious.
A grin, a smiling mouth.
Soon, both eyes began to open narrowly.
The observer was then able to realize.
I don’t know why.
“So instead of telling you, one more coupon?”
I knew this guy from the start.
“This madman is really…”
The goon of the observer finally ascended to heaven.
