Side Story Episode 27 – Back to Home (1)
The dimension of the abyss that covered the sky.
Distorted space-time.
The inexhaustible emptiness that exists within it.
What was reflected in it was only the dimension of the abyss.
“·······!!!”
“·······!!!”
The expression of the people of the Empire who watched the scene from afar showed a clear expression of astonishment.
Stop running away,
The cries for help cease.
A knife-like silence descended on the scene that seemed like a fight.
Shock, bewilderment, horror.
All the emotions of surprise that existed in the world appeared on the faces of the people of the empire.
The relief of surviving.
The shock that goes beyond that dominates the mind.
Is that… is that really a fight?
No, is it the right level of force that an individual being can unleash?
I don’t understand even though I’m looking at the phenomenon.
Something unrecognizable haunts my mind.
A sight as if peeking into something beyond the unknown.
That is why it was a contradiction beyond any notion.
Wow..!
Eventually, the space of emptiness closes,
When the dimension of the abyss is back in place.
The Beserks covered the sky of the Empire in pitch black.
The Beserks, who had ruthlessly trampled on the people of the empire, had disappeared without a trace.
and.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A long cry was heard from somewhere.
The people of the empire looked at the place where the screams came from, as if they had promised.
And what was seen there was a being who foretold the end of Astelgia long ago.
A terrible evil that has left its name in the mythology of the empire and has been talked about until now.
primordial evil.
[This can’t be like this…! Uh, how…! How could this happen…!!!]
Primordial evil struggled desperately in the face of the looming chaos.
Exploding all the darkness, he squeezed out all the power he had.
Even so, the primeval evil could not escape the chaos.
beginning.
The existence that drove Astelgia to the brink of the end,
An evil that even the first Transcendent could not bear.
Primordial evil was something no one in the universe could handle.
To be precise, beings confined within the individual universe could not stand against the primeval evil.
Such was the existence of evil in the ancient times.
But now.
A realm that transcends the limits of martial arts.
martial arts.
In front of that non-existent, new realm, the far-off realm, the ancient evil was nothing more than a mere trifle.
〔no···! no!!!!〕
Primordial evil dissipates like dust.
The terrifying presence grows weaker.
The madness that would drive one’s mind crazy just by facing it was gone.
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
There are only pitiful lives struggling to survive.
“Oh, oh my god…!”
“Oops…!!”
A sense of astonishment sinks that does not even leak out.
between the horrors.
Beetle.
Seo-joon staggered.
Seo-joon hurriedly straightened his balance.
However, Seo-joon’s body staggered again from the feeling of exhaustion sweeping through his body.
He barely managed to use Longinus’s spear as a support, and thanks to that, he was able to avoid a falling accident.
“Haha…! Haha…!”
Seo-joon let out a rough breath.
Maybe because it wasn’t perfect yet?
‘no.’
Seojun firmly shook his head.
This was not a complete, self-inflicted problem.
A realm that transcends the limits of martial arts.
Even at this moment, Seo-joon didn’t understand that area.
My whole body trembles and trembles.
Seo-joon was confident that he would faint if he fainted right away.
However, Seo-joon grabbed his teeth and held on to the spirit of leaving.
The sight that lifted so slowly.
There was a reflection of the primordial evil that was disappearing.
The primeval evil let out a long scream and struggled in pain.
However, the screams of the primeval evil were no longer a sound and disappeared.
It seems that no more existence is allowed.
It seems that no more traces are allowed.
Seo-joon stared blankly at the scene.
And was it welcome?
Or was it a simple misunderstanding?
Maybe it could be both.
Seo-joon caught a glimpse of Astelgia, the first transcendant, through the vanishing ancient evil.
He stared at the primordial evil disappearing.
A long fight that has started from the beginning.
Astelgia slowly turned her gaze to Seo-joon.
Seojun also quietly raised his gaze and looked at Astelgia.
In his eyes that met, there was infinite gratitude for Seo-joon.
Is it because of that?
[Really… Thank you very much.]
somewhere
It seemed that such a voice had been heard.
Primordial evil has completely disappeared without leaving any more traces.
At the same time, the appearance of Astelgia also completely disappeared.
like that.
The story of the beginning ended here.
As a new ending, not a planned ending.
“·······”
stupid mind.
For a while, Seo-joon stared blankly at the two disappearing beings in the beginning.
But I soon came to my senses.
The story of the beginning has come to an end.
The story isn’t over yet.
Seo-joon trudged and headed inside the imperial palace.
The imperial palace arrived after so many twists and turns.
The imperial palace was literally a mess.
The broken wreckage here and there reminded me of the middle of a battlefield.
I actually did.
<Ki, Seojun Kim!!!!!>
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard from somewhere.
Where I looked, the mentor was running towards Seo-joon.
Fortunately.
Mentor seemed to be able to do it.
<Lord, I thought you were dead!! I thought Seojun Kim was dead!!!>
The mentor hovered around Seo-joon, waving his short arms and legs.
<Next time, don’t leave me alone! Got it! yes?! Lord, let’s die together even if we die!!>
Why, he seemed more fussed than usual.
Tears welled up in the corner of the mentor’s eyes at a glance.
It seemed like he was genuinely afraid.
Seo-joon burst into laughter at the appearance of such a mentor.
Then, he slowly looked around the inside of the imperial palace.
The emperor, Elian, fainted at Seo-jun’s sight.
Vettel is dead with a spear stuck in his chest.
And the collapsed Carls was reflected.
Seo-jun hurriedly approached and checked Carl’s condition.
It was impossible to tell whether the body was really dead or alive.
However, through Seo-joon’s senses, he could feel the faint but heartbeat.
Fortunately.
Carls also seemed unharmed.
It couldn’t be said to be safe, but there was no danger to life.
It was only then that Seo-joon was able to breathe a small sigh of relief.
And just then.
“You did it… you did it…”
A weak voice came from somewhere.
Where I looked, none other than Aren, covered in blood, was staring at Seo-joon.
Ah… Come to think of it, Aren was there too.
Seo-joon unknowingly let out a smile.
“How are you all right?”
“As you can see…”
Seojun immediately regretted what he had said.
Because it didn’t look good to anyone.
Seojun let out a shy laugh once.
Seojun trudged and walked in front of Aren.
Even if he said this, Seo-joon was not in a good condition either.
Seo-joon approached Aren and sat down.
“Agogo! I’m dying.”
Afterwards, he lay down on his seat and just stayed still.
Aren watched Seo-joon like that and slowly opened his mouth.
“Did you say anything else…?”
“What did you need to say?”
Seo-jun answered while looking at the open ceiling of the imperial palace.
“I thought you might have a lot of questions about me.”
“I do, but… are you willing to give me an answer if I ask you?”
Aren replied with a faint smile.
“Um, just in case?”
“great. Then I will ask you one question.”
Seo-joon jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“You really have nothing to do with Elian?”
“·······”
“Why, if you look at the mythology of our dimension, there are stories that appear in dreams and say things like this, right? In a way, Arren is also a figure in mythology, so Arendo…”
“no.”
Aren interrupted Seo-joon and forced himself to stand up.
I really thought I was going to die, but it was because I didn’t know how far my imagination would go if I left it alone.
“Isn’t it really?”
Still a question that never ends.
“ha···.”
Aren let out a deep sigh.
“Do you know how ridiculous that is?”
“Ah, that doesn’t make sense. It is quite possible for a bond to sprout between a teacher and a teacher anywhere…”
“Mentor?”
Aren called a mentor as if he didn’t want to respond to Seo-jun’s words.
<Yes, yes!>
The mentor suddenly noticed that he didn’t know how to call himself! He showed his posture and replied.
“Could you please check if you can connect to the Transcendent Academy now?”
<Uh… transcendence academy?>
“yes. Perhaps… by now, the connection between the dimensions should have been corrected.”
<Now, wait a minute…>
The mentor walked up to Seo-joon and took the smartphone out of his arms.
Before long, he manipulated his smartphone around.
<Oh! It works!>
The mentor shouted in disgust.
Aren nodded as if he knew that.
Transcendence academy that was cut off due to an abnormal phenomenon in the dimension.
And perhaps… the dimensional anomalies seemed to be due to primordial evil.
But now the primeval evil is gone.
It seemed to have resolved normally.
The mentor continued to operate the smartphone here and there as if excited.
Seojun stuck his head out and looked at the screen the mentor was manipulating.
At that moment, a screen flashed through my mind.
《Kim Seo-joon member’s causal balance: unpredictable》
<Eh?>
“Eh?”
The expressions of Seo-joon and mentor started to become dumbfounded.
At that moment, Seojun and the mentor looked at each other and shouted.
<What the hell is this!!>
“What is that…”
What if you ask me about it?
Seojun had nothing to say.
On the other hand, Aren doesn’t know if he knows about the situation.
“It’s been a while since we met, but…”
It won’t kill you though.
no way I could really die right now.
He kept saying something incomprehensible.
And why?
Aren was trembling with fear somewhere.
Aren took a few deep breaths and spoke again to his mentor.
“Mentor. If possible, can you contact the director? ”
<Oh, ah? ah??>
The mentor turned his head around as if he was momentarily out of order.
Perhaps the shock of the previous causal information did not seem to go away.
<Ah, yes! That… I can give you a call. You probably won’t be able to come here. Director, you have restrictions on moving between dimensions. The Observer has been expelled, but I think it’s probably going to be difficult.>
“it’s okay. Just contact me saying Aren is looking for you. Then maybe… they’ll come by any means.”
Aren replied with a nervous expression.
The mentor looked at Aren with a puzzled expression and manipulated the smartphone again.
So little time passed.
<I just contacted you. However, since the director is very busy, it will take a while to reply.>
right at that moment.
Quad de de de de de deuc.
Suddenly, one side of the space began to twist grotesquely.
<What, what is it!>
Before the mentor’s embarrassing words were over.
A being strode out through the twisted space.
Blonde hair that resembles sunlight.
and pointy ears.
The owner of a look that can be said to be perfect no matter what standard of beauty in the world.
〔Mentor, Aren is looking for you? No, where was the mentor and what was he doing all this time?]
It was none other than Irina, the director of the Transcendent Academy.
<Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!
The sudden appearance of Irina gave the mentor a startled look.
“What, what is it?”
And it was the same for Seojun.
It wasn’t as much as a mentor, but I never expected to meet Irina like this.
[Seojun Kim? Was Seojun Kim here too?]
Irina tilted her head after discovering Seo-jun’s presence.
It was as if he had no idea what was going on before and after.
And the same goes for Seo-joon.
Seo-joon slowly turned his head to look at the person who might know this situation.
And following Seo-joon, Mentor and Irina’s heads also headed there.
A being that caught everyone’s attention.
“Uh… well…”
Aren gave a puzzled look.
That moment.
[Aren…!]
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!!!
Upon discovering Aren, Irina exploded with tremendous momentum.
A sense of domination that weighs down the entire space.
It was a power far beyond the realm.
Is that why the power is so strong?
But Aren felt like he would die if he touched him.
In addition, there were even Carls and Elian here.
A situation where a serious accident can happen.
“Calm down for a moment, sir.”
Seo-joon raised his momentum against Irina’s senses.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Eventually, the bursting momentum embraced Irina’s senses.
A realm that transcends the limits of martial arts.
A new power that dwells in the realm of martial arts.
It started taking over the surroundings in an instant.
[·······!!!】
Faced with that power, Irina’s eyes widened and opened.
bewildered eyes.
〔What, what was it…? What is this power…?]
Seojun shrugged at Irina.
Aren, who turned around slightly, was making an expression that he had lived.
It looks like there is something…
“I think I need a proper explanation, Aren.”
At Seo-jun’s words, Aren flinched and trembled.
#
“That, so… the director and Aren… this or that relationship…?”
“Well, yes.”
Aren nodded calmly.
“oh my god!”
<My God!>
Seojun and Mentor shouted with shocked expressions.
And since Seo-joon is also Seo-joon, the mentor’s shock seemed more.
<Woah, director, are you married?!>
It seemed that the mentor didn’t know at all.
But was it true that even the mentor did not know?
Have you been together for such a long time?
<That’s why you hit the iron wall despite the courtship of so many transcendentalists! I thought you wouldn’t watch it even if you didn’t care because my level was low!!! >
Mentor opened his eyes as if he knew the secret of his birth.
<Nonsense! Unbelievable!! oh my god!!!>
The mentor mumbled… No, shouted vigorously, like a man half lost.
“Since when? No, how did you two meet?”
“It’s complicated to explain, but I think if you’re Kim Seo-joon, you’ll know the answer.”
If it were me, would you roughly know the answer?
how do i do that…
“ah.”
Seojun was able to nod his head right away.
The will left behind by none other than the first transcendent, Astelgia.
Because I realized Aren was talking about it.
At the same time as Astelgia created the existence of Seo-jun, who opposed the observer.
He twisted the fate of his child.
In other words, Astelgia had descendants.
If Aren is the descendant of Astelgia, the first transcendent.
To be precise, if it was that child, the bond the two would meet was full and overflowing.
Because Irina was Astelgia’s disciple.
“But why are you here…?”
[That’s what I’d rather ask.]
Irina, who was still at that moment,
Something very angry.
〔Where the hell were you and what were you doing! It only appeared now!]
As expected, Irina’s shouts resonated loudly.
“That, that’s…! Because you will get hurt if I am under the influence of the observer… Above all, the will left by the first transcendentalist to Kim Seo-joon…!”
[Don’t make excuses!]
Irina screamed at Aren as if she didn’t want to hear it.
If that’s the case, why did you ask?
It was a completely different atmosphere from the image of Irina Seo-joon had known so far.
Aren sent a glance at Seo-joon as if asking for help.
Seo-joon glanced away.
You see.
It seems like we knew each other even before Astelgia was destroyed.
How many years have you been talking about since then?
This is what Aren did wrong.
Somehow, it seemed that there was one more story that started from the beginning.
Right then.
<How come, sooner or later, Kim Seo-joon-nim seems to be like that too.>
The mentor, who had come to his senses, said to Seo-jun.
“yes? Why me?”
The moment I spit it out.
Seo-joon was immediately able to understand the mentor’s words.
none other than a return to Earth.
Teammates and Seoyoon waiting there.
Perhaps… Seoyoon would have been waiting for Seojun.
Although time passed slowly in Astelgia, there was no change in how much time had passed.
“uh···.”
Somehow, it seemed like there was a reason to go back as soon as possible.
In order to do so, it was necessary to gather cause and effect.
But the causal…
huh? Causal?
“ah! Come to think of it, cause and effect!”
Suddenly, Seo-joon shouted loudly as if he had just remembered.
That would also be the screen that was briefly reflected on my smartphone earlier.
《Kim Seo-joon member’s causal balance: unpredictable》
It was a meaningful content that I thought I would never see at the transcendent academy.
