Episode 256
[Let me ask you one thing. Did you really do this because you thought you could kill me?]
Before opening the box containing Ran’s soul, Woo asked Namgung.
[Obviously, I want to become one with Ran. However, that does not necessarily mean the extinction of all dimensions. I can save you.]
“I didn’t come to do business with you.”
[Stupid… You ended up not fastening the last button properly.]
Unlock –
Woo opened the box.
Sooooo…!!
Then pure white smoke began to fill the corridor.
[This smell. Clue… It’s true. Ran(亂).]
[What does a guy with no nose smell like? In the end, you were released from the seal first. Namgung, you didn’t give up even though I tried to persuade you like that… Did you join hands with Woo first?]
“It doesn’t matter who it is, right? “You guys are going to merge into one anyway.”
Ran laughed coldly at Namgung’s words.
[Damn… It’s really over.]
[It doesn’t matter what happens now. Because everyone will die. I don’t know what the rest of the idiots are doing in this situation.]
When the three Aspects saw Ran’s appearance, they sighed and muttered in despair.
[When the primordial phase becomes one, everything that has ever existed will change. Are you confident you can handle it?]
“I haven’t experienced it, so there’s no way I would know. But I think it remains to be seen whether it will change or stay the same.”
[I love this world. That’s absolutely not a lie. That’s why in the past, when Wu caused trouble, he helped the Aspects to trap him.]
He looked at the Aspects.
[The problem is that these ungrateful people imprisoned me without knowing the grace that helped them.]
[I am sorry for my sins…!!]
[Please forgive the past and help us!!]
The Aspects knelt down towards Ran. He shouted as if pleading.
[It’s already too late. Didn’t you guys steal the soul box because you knew I wouldn’t help you this time?]
[That…!!]
[This time, I will become one with Wu. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go back to the beginning and rewrite everything. You guys…]
They seemed frozen by Ran’s cold eyes and could not take any action.
[You’ll see.]
[The time I had to endure to break the seal was really long… but surprisingly, once one was released, the rest was solved in an instant.]
Woo walked to Ran.
[It’s a fresh start from the beginning. Ran (亂)]
He stretched out his hand.
[It’s good. However, I think there is one thing that needs to be pointed out.]
[What is it?]
[When you and I become one… who becomes the good man?]
Woo’s outstretched finger trembled slightly.
[I don’t know what you’re talking about. What’s important about that?]
[It’s important. This is when two wills mix and become one. That means two wills cannot exist.]
Ran looked at him coldly.
[You and I are literally polar opposites. You didn’t do this in hopes of creating a new class when we become one, right?]
Chwiiik –
When he opened his mouth, sharp fangs like those of a viper were revealed.
[It’s a question of which of the two survives.]
[Really… So? It won’t be a peaceful story about discussing and deciding who will eat who. What do you want to say?]
[What I mean is, let’s make a decision in a non-peaceful way. Because everyone knows very well that what is needed to become one is only the core of the spiritual body and that will is unnecessary.]
Kwaaaaaang―――!!
[…!!!]
Breaking everyone’s expectations, Ran attacked Wu.
[…Tsk!]
[Don’t feel too unfair. Still, I will carry on your will. Anyway, I have no intention of letting those guys who betrayed me live.]
[Don’t make me laugh…!! How could I…! How did I get out of there and you think I’ll be eaten by you!!]
Woo jumped into the air, shaking off the pure white smoke that was covering him.
[In the beginning, we were one, but we lived divided for too long. Now that our respective wills are stronger than when we were one, we can no longer be one.] [
Then I will eat you!!!]
Wu, who looks like a mummy, wears a bandage covering his face. tore it apart.
Then, instead of a face, only red eyes and a huge mouth were revealed in the void-like black smoke beneath the bandages.
Wow…!!
Wu’s teeth bit into the back of Ran’s neck.
Their fight was too animalistic and primal to be called a fight between phases.
[Foolish Woo. Can you, who lost to me in the past, defeat me now? [With that ring on?]
Wu lunged at him like a wild beast, but Ran asked in a calm voice, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Aspects looked at the ring on Wu’s finger.
[Ring of Inflection….]
[You gave up your attributes and became like me in order to have me, but that is truly foolish. Do you think the fake can beat the real?]
Aaaak-
Ran grabbed Woo’s head.
Cough… Cough…
Ran’s fingers gradually began to dig into Wu’s head.
[Kaaaaaaah!!!]
Ran laughed bitterly while listening to Wu’s painful screams.
[thanks. You put on the Ring of Inflection and saved me. I knew it would be you.]
[No way….]
[Yes, because like you said, we were one. I know you better than anyone else, so I knew that all I had to do was wait.] [Let
go of this… Let go!!!]
Woo tried to escape Ran’s grasp, but the more he tried, the more his strength became stronger. I felt like I was being sucked into.
[The ring of transformation is the only way to get out of the seal, but it is also a shackles that must be offered by the moment they are worn
. ]
That we become one. So, be happy.]
[What on earth is going on?]
[Ran is trying to eat Wu… Was he this violent?]
[I don’t know. It may be that the years of being locked up have changed him.]
[Or… it may be because of us.]
The Aspects looked at each other with tense faces as they watched Wu slowly falling apart.
[Then what is better for us? Is it better for Wu to disappear and Ran to remain?]
[If the reason they went berserk was because of our betrayal, wouldn’t Ran be more scary than Wu?]
[Damn it… The answer is that they shouldn’t have woken up in the first place. [It was.]
They knew very well that no matter who survived, what was left for them would never be a good ending.
But that was then.
Something happened that shocked everyone.
“Don’t do anything stupid.”
[…Kek. Keke!]
A chain was wrapped around Ran’s neck.
Namgung pulled the chain around Ran’s neck like a breeder handling a vicious dog.
[Pfft…! Ugh!!]
Then, Ran’s hand holding on to Wu loosened and he began to be dragged by Namgung.
[What is this….]
The Aspects were at a loss for words at the unbelievable situation they were watching.
“It’s none of my business what you do, but… you shouldn’t do anything foolish. Are you trying to arbitrarily destroy Wu?”
[Now wait a minute…!!]
The Aspects were just confused as they looked at Ran’s urgent voice.
[…What am I looking at now?]
[The Aspect of the Beginning is kneeling to that guy?]
Crack-clack-clack…!
Namgung pulled the chain even harder.
[Gasp….] When
Wu, whose face had half melted, covered his face with his hands, black smoke rose again and covered his face.
[What happened…!!! What on earth is this?!]
Wu shouted as if he was going to attack him at any moment, but when he saw him rolling at Namgung’s feet, he forgot what he was saying.
[You… what are you doing now?]
“What are you doing? Now this guy was lying. It acted as if it was going to eat you, but in reality, it was trying to destroy you. That’s why I blocked it.”
Namgung spoke in a calm voice.
“I almost got in big trouble. If one of you disappears, you won’t be able to reach full status. is not it? “Be thankful.”
Kwaaaaang-!!
Namgung released the chain he had pulled and hit Ran on the head with his sword.
“So, if you stopped talking nonsense and ate it quickly, you wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble.”
Cheap profit…!!
Ran’s face, touched by the sword, burned as if on fire.
[Kaaaaaaah!!!]
“I deliberately let Wu go because I thought this would happen… Ran, you are also more perceptive than that idiot.”
[What…]
Woo looked at Namgung with a puzzled expression.
“What are you doing? “You want me to eat him quickly?”
Creep –
at that moment he realized something was wrong.
[What… why?]
It was a long-awaited dream, but for some reason, he felt uneasy that it should not come true now.
“You’re not going to do it?”
Jump- Jump- Jump-
Namgung passed Ran and walked towards Wu.
[…Run!!]
At Ran’s shout, Wu took a step back without realizing it.
[I’m sorry, but that doesn’t work.]
That was then.
Thick iron pillars began to fall around the corridor, like a prison.
Blah blah blah… Blah blah blah…!
The pillars that imprisoned them froze to pure white, and hundreds and thousands of small snakes appeared around them.
[That…] Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Other aspects were seen outside the corridor.
[It looks good. Galan.]
Yor, who was standing in front of the four Aspects, smiled at the person handling the fire.
[Remove this bar right now!]
[Unfortunately, as you know, I didn’t make that by myself. The powers of Yor and Leia are mixed together.]
[At this level, they won’t be able to get out easily.]
[…Then what about us?]
[We should run away on our own. If you don’t want to be defeated.]
[This… profit!!]
Graciel, the mother of the breeze, glared at Yor while clutching the bars.
Cheeeeeek…!!
But the cold feeling that felt like her hands were about to fall off made her step back.
[Okay… let’s say that’s the case. But how can that guy overpower the Primordial Aspects? Were you aware of this situation?]
[No. We didn’t know either. That guy probably didn’t expect it to go this far.]
A stark difference in power.
Those who fought knew better than anyone else the strength of the Aspects of the Beginning.
[Then how…?]
[Well, I didn’t even notice the primordial phase, so there’s no way you guys would know.]
[…What?]
Yor chuckled at that moment.
[Do you really see that guy as Namgung right now?]
