Chapter 43

Episode 43

“You ate it?”

[That’s fun. How can you say something like that so casually? Doesn’t the Revelator absolutely follow the phase? By holding it and serving it. Do you really think a monster like me has eaten up the status you look up to?]

The appearance of acting has changed again.

This time, it took on a lizard-like appearance and spoke while lightly tapping its large tail.

“well. Although I use the power of a revealer, I do not worship my status as a god. To them, the Revelator is nothing more than their chess piece.”

[Indeed… I wonder why someone with the same thoughts as you was chosen as a Revelator.]

“I’m not interested in your curiosity. “What’s important to me is completing the quest and getting out of this cave.”

Namgung looked at the lizard made of black smoke and spoke in a low voice.

“I just want to prove my qualifications to see if you should be killed or not.”

[Cluck… Getting out of here? It’s no big deal. If you want, you can find a way now.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the smoke turned into fog and dispersed.

“how?”

[You can eat it too. Ran’s flesh.]

At that moment, the smoke changed into something like a table. On top of it was a piece of red meat with not even the blood gone.

[That is the test of this nest. Simple, right? But the reward is better than anything else. If you’re lucky, you might even get the power of a phase. Maybe you can taste heaven from the hell that is about to begin.]

His voice was sweet.

“It’s the power of the phase… You can gain extraordinary power just by eating this. “It’s more attractive than I thought.”

[then. Of course.]

“Who is Ran? “As far as I know, there are only 8 people.”

[The number of phases is not fixed. Not only in your world, but in all worlds, aspects have repeatedly existed and disappeared.]

Namgung recalled what Yor said the other day.

‘The gods of Olympus also said it was of a level, but they said it was of a lower level than its current status.’

It seemed to be true that there were different levels of status.

Another god who created gods.

If this incident hadn’t happened, most people wouldn’t have believed what he said.

But now everyone knows.

That there are many gods other than the one they know.

And…

those extra-human beings were not necessarily limited to gods.

They are called gods and are worshiped, but they are also called devils and are rejected.

[Ran is the oldest phase. Not the kids who are holding the carnival now, but much longer ago than when Olympus and Muspelheim existed.]

He said.

[It is the most powerful phase that created it all. However, as time passes, the position of status changes. Just like the carnival has been repeated over and over again.]

“How many times have you guys done this damn thing? “It’s scary to even imagine.”

[This is not just a game. There are many worlds other than yours. Because of Carnival, the world continues to change, prospering and declining. That is history.]

“History?”

However, Namgung made a cold laugh at Yeong-gi’s words.

“You’re laughing. Since when has history been something that someone else makes for us?”

[okay. The subject is you. Carnival is also something you guys are creating, right? We are just creating the background.]

“Us?”

Namgung grabbed the piece of meat placed on the black table and slowly looked down.

“With that one word, the decision was made.”

[why? This is truly an opportunity for you. Whether it’s a mistake of phase or a ruse, you came here anyway and can get ahead of any other Revelators.]

“That’s it. “That’s why I can’t trust you.”

[What is that…]

Contrary to his bewildered voice, Namgung slowly put down the piece of meat.

“I don’t know who the Aspect Ran is… but why are you tied up here because you are strong enough to eat the Aspect?”

[… What?]

“And you clearly said it a moment ago. I mean ‘we’. You haven’t revealed your identity yet. Should we trust the words of such a person? “That’s ridiculous.”

Namgung spoke to him.

“You better be clear about your attitude. Are you a person who goes against your status? Or is it on the side of status?”

Poop–!

When I grabbed the red meat with all my might, the flesh exploded and broke into pieces.

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…?

The pieces of flesh that fell on the floor are screaming! and started riding. The black table changed its appearance once again with a whirlpool.

This time it was the shape of a mummy wrapped in black bandages. Where the eyes and nose should be, there were only black holes, as if they had been cut out with something.

Three white eye lights blinked in that hole that seemed like it was going to be sucked in.

[That’s great. On the one hand, it’s a shame. If I had been blinded by greed and eaten that, I would have been able to taste you. Your soul seems like it would be quite interesting.]

“Crazy. “I didn’t survive to be eaten in a place like this.”

Namgung frowned at his words.

[The intentions of the Clkkeul Aspects are obvious. It looks like they were quite impressed, right? Otherwise, there is no way you would meet me now that the second door has opened.]

When the mummy stretched out her hand, there was a box lying there.

[They want to eat you, but ….

]

And blue flames billowed out from the hole in his face.

[I got a little curious. It’s probably something they didn’t even think about.]

Namgung instinctively trembled slightly from the heat of the fire that he felt before his eyes.

‘…It’s real.’

What he said was not a lie.

It was also more powerful than any of the eight Aspects he knew.

He is absolutely out of phase.

[Take it. You said you received a quest, right? A quest must have a reward, and it can only be completed when you receive it.]

Exciting – Exciting –

Absolute strength that I have never seen before.

Without realizing it, Namgoong’s heart was beating fast.

[That’s the way to get out of here.]

He turned his back and lightly waved his hand behind him as if saying goodbye to Namgung.

[Like all games, the carnival ends someday. If you survive… you will be able to see the ending.]

“To do that, I took away the position of the Revelator. “I started from a position ahead of others.”

[Indeed… It’s a revelation… That’s a great thing in itself, but it’s not enough. Because there will be many obstacles in the future.]

Kwajik-!

That moment.

Namgoong walked to the box and broke it with all his might.

“Obstacle?”

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!

The lid of the box shattered and a sound announcing the reward sounded.

“However much.”

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. [This is a guy who doesn’t know how to be afraid of the sky.]

Before he could see what the reward was, black smoke billowing out from inside the box obscured Namgung’s vision.

[I am Woo (无).]

It was at that time.

He spoke to Namgung one last time as he disappeared into the darkness.

[It is not nothing. I exist, but it’s not that I don’t have it, it’s that I haven’t existed since the beginning.]

“What…?”

[And he is also the one who has observed all the festivals so far. Therefore…] It

was not a voice, but a line of sentences appeared in Namgung’s eyes as if letters were engraved in the darkness.

The moment Namgung saw it, he knew.

That it was a message from Woo hidden in the fog so that even the Aspects who were looking down on him could not see it.

[I could tell you about the remaining 25 years of the future that you don’t know about.]

* * *

“…!!!”

I opened my eyes.

The words Woo left a moment ago continued to linger in Namgung’s mind.

However, he realized that he was no longer in a dark cave, but inside a car, and that he had returned to reality.

‘The quest… is that right?’

Even though he had gone through the absurd experience of regression, he felt bewildered for the first time.

Meeting Woo in the cave was a very unnatural event.

‘Someone must have been trying to test me.’

Perhaps the culprit, as Woo said, was probably of high status, but funny enough, Woo, who was in it, did not even mention a single word about his return.

Just the last word.

It certainly wouldn’t have been heard by the Aspects either.

It meant that he was aware of his own return, and at the same time, the fact that this terrible apocalypse was 25 years more than what he experienced was a greater harvest than he expected.

“Hmm…”

His mind was racing, but more than that, Namgung was worried about whether he could talk to Yor about this matter.

Crying –

it was then.

I heard a strange sound of metal hitting my right arm as I touched my forehead. When he looked down, he saw something wrapped around his wrist.

“This is…”

The moment I hesitated for a moment when I saw something for the first time,

“Dad!!” “Wake up!”

I heard my daughter’s cry outside the door.

It was only when Namgoong saw that his daughter, who should have been sitting next to him, was outside the car that he realized that there was no one in the driver’s seat.

The car was stopped.

puck! Wow!!

At the same time, dull sounds were heard everywhere.

“…Ouch!!”

The heavy breathing heard outside the car belonged to Myung-hoon, and seeing So-min urgently knocking on the window made Nam-goong quickly figure out what was going on.

Clang –

He opened the car door.

“dad!!”

“…what’s the matter?”

He asked as he grabbed his daughter, who was yelling at him, by the arm and pulled her into his arms.

“Suddenly, people came and stopped the car… Uncle Myung-hoon is in danger!!”

Somin shouted urgently.

Just as she said, I could see Myung-Hoon surrounded by dozens of men.

“No way.”

However, Namgung instead chuckled when he saw Myung-hun being held captive.

“They are the ones who are dangerous. “Sit down for now.”

Namgung opened the car door, let Somin in, and turned his head.

“Is that Namgung?”

Slightly unclear Korean. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“We need you to come with us for a while.”

I had a vague idea where they came from.

“Myung-Hoon. “You can stop coming out.”

“ah. “Your brother.”

Kwasik!! No sooner had

Namgung uttered his words than Myung-hoon knocked down the man who was holding him.

“Oops!!”

At the same time, he twisted the arm he was holding, and the man’s arm was twisted in a deformed manner.

“Why were you detained?”

“Well, I just wanted to take a look at the situation. “Because Somin is there too.”

As Myung-Hoon stood up, lightly stepping on the fallen man’s back, the men, who were momentarily confused, all took out knives from inside their clothes.

“These bastards…!”

“Hit everyone!!”

“I have a general sense of where it came from, but… it would be better to catch a few people and ask them for more details.”

“All right. When did the monsters start pouring in, but they are still threatening with such a small sword? Anyway, you gangsters….”

Myung-Hoon nodded as he watched them running towards him.

“But they’re lucky. “If it had been Hojun instead of you, there wouldn’t have been any of them still breathing.”

“I’m not a particularly good guy either.”

“But it doesn’t kill people.”

Quads, that is…!!

When Myeong-Hoon pulled out his Baekcheon Ganggeom, cold ice picks popped out around him as if forming a fence.

“They don’t kill you.”
