Chapter 264 – The Coming Battle (1)
Late dawn, when only the moonlight rises.
The moonlight was invisible in the sky of Seoul covered with huge gates, but the moonlight was floating alone in the sky and illuminating the world.
That’s how we end our day,
Late dawn to fall asleep preparing for a new day to come again.
“Haa-!”
Seoyoon remained at the Dream Team building and wielded her sword.
Hiss! shhh!
Every time Seoyoon swung her sword, a fierce pangong sound erupted.
It was empty space, but
Seoyoon’s sword that cut through space was clawing here and there like the teeth of a ferocious beast.
Wedge!
It was enough to tell at once that it was a swordsmanship that reached a considerable level.
That would also be true, Seoyoon was a talented person who would not be left behind no matter where she went in the world.
No, far from falling behind, he was a professional hunter who was leading the way.
Of course, it was an S-class Hunter,
A level that can compete with the heroes of Cataclysm.
It was no exaggeration to say that Seoyoon stood at the pinnacle of humanity through numerous experiences and training.
In other words, the limit has been reached.
Therefore, further training was meaningless.
To be precise, the effect that could be obtained with short-term training was insignificant.
“Ha-!”
However, Seoyoon’s swinging sword contained a certain earnestness.
As if to prove such earnestness.
Seoyoon’s whole body and black hair were wet with sweat.
“Haha…! Haha…!”
Breathing also gradually became rougher,
Seoyoon did not stop swinging her sword.
I couldn’t stop.
In the meantime, Seoyoon was able to achieve a lot of growth thanks to the elixir sold by Seojun.
Recently, thanks to the mysterious water given by Seo Jun, he was able to achieve explosive growth.
Right after the South African job was done.
The mysterious water suddenly recommended by Seo-jun, saying that it is good for the body.
The taste is also delicious,
Mysteriously, it was water imbued with the power of mana.
Seoyoon and her teammates really drank holy water like drinking water,
Thanks to that, we were able to achieve tremendous growth.
Now, it was hard to find a person with more skills than himself anywhere in the world.
the pinnacle of humanity.
A hero of cataclysm, the level that professional hunters aspire to.
Seoyoon was able to enter that state before she knew it.
That’s why it’s okay to take a little bit of time now.
Wedge!
Seoyoon couldn’t stop.
The place Seoyoon wanted to reach was not just a cataclysmic hero.
Because the path I wanted to walk was not a cataclysmic hero.
way with someone.
A way to stand by someone.
He was the one who always looked straight ahead.
It was Seoyoon who wanted to go with her but fell behind every time.
That’s why I want you to look back a little,
he never looks back
okay.
he never looks back
You shouldn’t even have to look back.
So I have to stand by him.
Because of that, the team members fell asleep for a long time.
“Haa-!”
Seoyoon remained here and continued to wield her sword.
How much time had passed like that?
dump.
Seoyoon was exhausted and collapsed into her seat.
A body drenched in sweat.
I wanted to practice a little more, but…
I really didn’t have the strength left to lift a finger.
can’t you do anything today
Seoyoon swallowed her regret and caught her breath.
Right then.
Someone was seen in Seoyoon’s field of vision.
It feels like a screw is missing somewhere.
That’s why I feel a strange warmth.
“······ Mr. Seo Jun?”
It was none other than Seojun.
“Haha… I didn’t mean to steal it.”
Seo-jun shyly scratched the back of his head.
Apparently, he seemed to have been watching Seoyoon practice.
“Since when have you been there?”
When Seoyoon asked with a slightly surprised face, Seojun immediately answered.
“It’s been a little… haha···.”
“Then why don’t you call me?”
“I don’t want to disturb you.”
Then, he scratches the back of his head again…
It was Seo-jun, who hadn’t really changed at all.
Seoyoon showed a small smile.
Then he slowly got up from his seat.
I didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger until just now.
For some reason it wasn’t like that now.
Seeing Seoyoon like that, Seojun came closer.
Then, Seoyoon took a slight step back and said.
“Because this is how I am right now…”
A body drenched in sweat.
Seojun said with an expression that he didn’t care at all.
“I don’t have any problems… but rather, it’s nice, right?”
At the same time, Seojun showed a playful smile.
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Seo-yoon also burst into laughter.
“by the way. Why are you here at this late hour…?”
Then Seo-joon’s expression hardened for an instant.
And then he hesitated for a while.
“I have something to tell you.”
He opened his mouth very carefully.
“To me?”
“yes.”
Seoyoon stared at Seojun as if to tell him to speak.
Seojun paused for a while and then slowly opened his mouth.
“For the time being… I guess I have to go somewhere.”
“······ yes?”
And at Seo-jun’s words, Seo-yoon’s head tilted automatically.
Seo-joon’s words that he will go somewhere.
It’s because I didn’t understand the words at once.
It was also true that there were only two weeks left until the Apostle Ceremony.
But in this situation, where is the simple word?
“Where are you going? no, for how long?”
“I probably won’t be able to come until the Apostle Ceremony.”
“·······”
Seoyoon was momentarily at a loss for words.
stupid mind.
Seoyoon stared blankly at Seojun’s face.
And Seo-jun faced Seo-yoon’s gaze.
“That’s it…”
Seo-joon was quite at a loss as to how to explain this.
#
a while ago.
It was when Seo-joon checked the lectures he could take with a free coupon.
“… crazy.”
Seojun muttered involuntarily.
That is also the case with numerous notification windows popping up on the smartphone screen.
Because that was really crazy!
A cursory glance revealed that there were 4 EX grades due to Irina’s lecture.
If you add the things you can get from Jecheon Daeseong’s lectures, you can’t count them.
Above all, the secret of the heavenly moon meteor spear.
This was the first SSS grade I had seen since Unmoving Heart.
And now that the constraints of cause and effect are released.
I was able to take all of these with free coupons.
Even after taking all of them, I still have one coupon left.
“ah···! iced coffee···!”
Seo-joon shook his body as if he had been electrocuted.
[What, what, what…?]
[Did he suddenly go crazy? Psychiatric treatment is not specialized, but…]
[I heard that there is a transcendental person called Zeus who handles lightning in the West… Did he even get hit by that lightning?]
The three transcendentalists looked at Seo-joon’s crazy appearance strangely, but… Well, anyway.
To Seo-joon, such gaze was not important at all.
“Ahhh···!!!”
Because I was really going crazy!
Seo-joon’s trembling body seldom faded.
What stopped Seo-joon’s crazy behavior?
<But there is a big problem.>
It was when I heard what my mentor said.
For an instant, Seo-jun’s body suddenly stopped.
gaze.
There, the mentor was making a slightly troubled expression.
Seeing the mentor’s expression like that, Seo-joon felt like his heart was pounding and sinking.
Could it be that the observer cheated again?
it could have been enough
There are only 4 lectures from Irina that Seojun wants to listen to.
Considering that Jecheon Daeseong’s bundled lectures were about 1,000 copies the other day, I couldn’t imagine how much Irina’s lectures were.
Even if the cause and effect of all dimensions were integrated, the burden would be a burden.
Seojun looked at the mentor with a trembling gaze.
And did he even notice Seo-jun’s thoughts?
The mentor shook his head slightly and answered.
<It’s not like you think. The Watcher is almost half mad right now? No matter how much he spoke gibberish by himself…>
The mentor trembled as if he had remembered the look of the observer.
This time, he couldn’t blame anyone for what he did.
Anyway, I didn’t think it was an observer problem.
“Then why…?”
<Actually, it’s a matter of time.>
“Time…?”
<Yes.>
The mentor gave a small nod and went on to speak.
<You can’t learn all these things. To be precise, you can’t learn within Kim Seo-joon’s time.>
“ah.”
And at the words of such a mentor, Seo-joon was able to correctly recognize what the problem was.
To put it simply, there wasn’t much time left for Seo-joon.
To put it in a little more detail, Seo-joon is two weeks when the ceremony is held.
I had to work everything out in it.
In a word, Seo-joon has only two weeks left.
<Time is too tight.>
I couldn’t attend all of those lectures in that time.
No, I wondered if even one of them would be able to properly complete, let alone all of them.
No matter how fast Seo-joon grows.
Because there are definite limits.
To put it bluntly, it took almost a year to complete one Cheonwol Yuseongchang.
I couldn’t use the senses I had learned from Irina even now.
Of course, even this was insanely fast, but…
It wasn’t even 2 weeks.
It was not possible to complete all seven lectures in just two weeks.
No, there were only 7 lecture lists.
There were dozens of technologies included in it.
Those are at least S-class skills.
It was almost impossible to complete those transcendent skills in just two weeks.
No, it was just impossible.
That’s why the transcendent lecture was nothing more than a bright apricot.
but.
<So I discussed this with the director.>
It wasn’t that there wasn’t much of a way.
<There is a way to increase Seojun Kim’s time>
“Extending the time…?”
Seojun tilted his head involuntarily.
Do you increase the time
What kind of nonsense is this?
Could it be that time reversal magic is used?
No, did such magic ever exist?
If it’s a transcendent academy… I think it’s possible.
“Are you using time-related magic?”
The mentor immediately shook his head.
<No. Time-related magic is impossible. This is an absolute law established by the causal law itself. Under no circumstances can you interfere with time.>
<Not only the director, but probably… the first Transcendentalist also didn’t work.>
If that was possible, the first transcendent would not have perished.
The mentor murmured his final words.
It was impossible not only for Irina but also for the first Transcendentalist.
So, it was literally impossible.
“Then how…?”
The mentor looked at Seojun and opened his mouth.
<This is how Seojun Kim goes to another dimension.>
“Another dimension?”
<Yes.>
The mentor nodded once and went on to speak.
<The flow of time is not the same in each dimension. Time flows fast in some places, slow in others.>
<So if you go to the dimension where time flows faster compared to Kim Seo-joon’s dimension, you can increase Kim Seo-joon’s time as a result.>
Simply put, it was a way to use the time difference.
1 second in Seojun’s dimension,
If it flows in 5 seconds in another dimension.
1 day on Earth.
5 days in another dimension.
If you train on Earth, you can only train for one day, but
In another dimension, it was a case of training for 5 days.
and.
<Originally, it is very difficult to go to another dimension. It’s not difficult, it’s almost impossible. So, we usually use the method of using the medium of that dimension…>
Seojun nodded slowly as if he understood.
A twisted existence.
Because he had experienced that he came over here using Ryu Jin-cheol’s body as a medium.
<Of course, even that is incredibly difficult, but at least it was possible. But Seojun Kim is in a position where he has to go directly to that dimension, right? That’s why it’s close to impossible…>
The mentor paused and looked away for a moment.
Seojun also turned his head to follow that gaze.
out the window.
A huge gate that dyed the sky above Seoul black was visible.
A phenomenon in which causality of all dimensions is integrated.
Seojun was able to understand the meaning of the mentor at once.
The mentor turned his head again and continued.
<That’s why it’s possible, but the cost of cause and effect is enormous. But fortunately, Seojun Kim has a free coupon, right? If you go, there is a coupon, so you don’t have to worry about causation.>
<But… they come and go. I need 2 coupons for a round trip.>
Currently, Seojun has 8 free coupons.
And the list of lectures is 7 in total.
There was only one coupon left,
I needed two free coupons to go to and from another dimension.
That’s why it was like one coupon was not enough… but this wasn’t a big problem.
It was because I had to pay for the lecture on dragons with cause and effect, not coupons.
The tuition for the Yongeon lecture is 100 trillion won.
Currently, Seo-joon has 5,860 trillion won and 500 billion won in causality.
It was enough cause and effect to boil Beserk’s heart.
Therefore, going to another dimension is not a problem at all.
“·······”
But Seo-joon couldn’t make a decision easily.
And as if to understand Seo-jun’s heart.
The mentor didn’t say anything.
sinking silence.
“What did the director say?”
Seojun slowly opened his mouth.
<If you look at the notice from the Transcendental Academy now… As of the current time, the entire Transcendental Academy has entered a closed state.>
At the words of the mentor, Seo-joon immediately connected to the transcendent academy.
Then, as soon as I logged in, a pop-up notice that the transcendent academy would be closed suddenly came to my mind.
In relation to that, the chatter of the beginners is also in a state of upside down.
Causes and effects of all dimensions were intertwined,
Not only the earth, but other dimensions also seemed to have an effect.
And if you don’t stop this phenomenon.
if you can’t stop
everything comes to an end
and.
<He said that Kim Seo-joon is the only one who can solve this situation.>
Seo-joon was the only one to stop it.
However, it was not possible with Seo-joon now.
A great voice that is free from causal constraints.
The current Seo-joon is too weak to stand up against him.
<But whatever Kim Seo-jun chooses, the director said he would help as much as possible. Me too!>
Mentor shouted with a very strong expression.
At the words of such a mentor, Seo-joon burst into laughter.
“How much time can I buy if I go to another dimension?”
<The most earning time ratio in Seojun Kim’s dimension is 20:1.>
20:1
In a word, one day on Earth.
20 days on that side.
There were two weeks left until the Apostle Ceremony.
I could have been there for 40 weeks.
In other words, it was possible to buy 10 months of time.
10 months.
Long if long, short if short.
“Wait… could you give me some time?”
#
Seo-jun could not explain this situation.
Puffy, I just opened my mouth.
In the end, he just stared blankly at Seoyoon.
Seoyoon also just stared blankly at Seojun.
sinking silence.
“When are you leaving?”
In the meantime, Seoyoon carefully opened her mouth.
“I think we should leave right now.”
A situation where there is no time.
I had to leave as soon as possible, even for a day or an hour.
“Seoyun-ssi, please talk to the team members.”
Seoyoon kept her mouth shut.
Indeed.
It is savage.
any.
I wish I could lean on myself just a little bit.
Seo-joon was always there to take care of others.
Even if I become someone’s shoulder,
He was a strong man who did not depend on anyone.
So, what kind of burden did Seoyoon carry on Seojun’s shoulders?
What weight are you carrying?
Didn’t know.
But just because you don’t know doesn’t mean you can’t know.
That’s why in my heart I wanted to shout, “Don’t go.”
Because you can’t catch it or you can’t catch it.
Seoyoon couldn’t say anything.
So indeed.
It was a savage one.
Seoyoon blankly stared at Seojun’s face.
And Seo-jun also only looked at Seo-yoon’s face.
The relationship with Seoyoon that first started at Dream Academy.
Seoyoon wants to create the world’s best academy through Seojun.
Seo-jun wants to become the world’s best hunter through Seo-yoon.
It started from the time between each other using each other,
I’ve been through a lot of things and crises.
In that gap, they have become a kind of will to each other.
A lot of incidents, a lot of things.
There were many memories that were made intertwined.
Seojun to Seoyoon, Seoyoon to Seojun.
Now it has become something that cannot be let go.
but.
Seojun is walking the path of a transcendentalist.
And if you walk the full path.
Seo-joon transcends and is banished out of the dimension.
Therefore, they could never return to Earth again.
A relationship that is destined to end.
One day, when the story of just the two of us reached the end.
When Seojun and Seoyoon stood at the end of the story and looked at each other.
No end, no ending, no ending.
Can we come in contact with a new story again?
I don’t know.
But, for now, I just do what I have to do.
Seojun to Seoyoon.
Seoyoon to Seojun.
There were many things I wanted to ask and many things I wanted to do.
but.
“Seojun.”
Seoyoon swallowed those questions and words.
However, it was just one word that implied all of them.
“······ You have to go carefully.”
For a moment, Seojun’s expression went blank.
Soon after, Seo-joon grinned.
Seojun also had a lot to say to Seoyoon.
There were many things I wanted to ask.
But Seo-joon swallowed those questions and words.
However, it was just one word that implied it all.
“I told you. They say I’m not going anywhere, leaving Seoyoon.”
The eyes of two people meeting each other.
Late dawn when only the moonlight illuminates the sky alone.
The two just looked at each other like that.
#
After saying goodbye to Seoyoon, not goodbye.
Seo-joon immediately left for another dimension.
And the news of Seo-joon’s departure was not known to anyone.
Seoyoon and the team members knew about it.
So the world just went on the same way as before.
Public opinion was still boiling and exploding,
The super-giant gate covering Seoul and Gyeonggi-do continued to grow thicker.
fear and anxiety.
People embraced these two things and waited for the coming ceremony.
but.
Accidents always happen at unexpected times.
It’s been a week since Seo-joon left,
It was about a week left before the Apostle Ceremony.
“trot! A giant monster appears in the skies above Seoul!!
Something unexpected had to happen.
