Episode 422
…How many stairs did he climb like that?
I was able to reach [Altar of the Moon] at the end of the stairs.
At the same time, the magic spells hidden around the altar emitted light and began to cover my body. [
You have climbed the
‘Altar of the Moon’, which is a historical space of Mine and only those with qualifications can climb .]
[Acquire 5000 points as a reward.]
[Received the blessing of the moon.]
[Magic resistance increased by 10% The Altar of the Moon seen up close was a ruin made of stones
.
As if it was not well maintained, there was moss in the middle, and the corners were corroded,
giving the impression of being old.
From the outside, it may seem old and useless, but I was able to read the complicated spells hidden within.
It was a spell to absorb the magic of the full moon, create a circuit, and inject nature’s magic onto the altar.
And I looked at the cup of blood on the altar.
A small silver goblet with a colorful pattern on it.
There was transparent water in it,
and I said this was dew made by the magic of moonlight, right?
I calmly invoked the outsider’s benefit and looked at the glass.
[Goblet of Blood (Sacred Relic)]
Classification . Cup
Description: A cup filled with divine power. There is a legend that it contains the blood of a god.
[Passive Effect]
►Qualifications and Potential
Containing the blood of those with qualifications, it raises the potential hidden in the blood.
When a qualified person drinks the blood, they gain power.
Durability: SSS
There was nothing different from what Seonhwa explained.
As explained, it was about raising the potential contained in my blood and gaining power
.
Perhaps the ‘qualified person’ written in the description refers to the ‘power of the king’.
I reached over the cup to proceed with the succession ceremony.
Then, by embodying mana, he made small scars on the tips of his fingers.
A drop of red blood formed on the tip of my finger, and soon the drop of blood fell towards the dew in the glass.
The red
blood dripped into the glass and created small ripples.
The clear water mixed with drops of blood and gradually turned red.
Sueuu–
At the same time, a mysterious aura began to spread from the glass.
And with a strong light emanating from the liquid, the mysterious light quickly spread.
-…just a light. What is it?
-…I know. I think it’s a little different from when I was in my 2nd generation.
The muffled voices of the demons came from under the altar.
I wondered if there was a problem, but seeing that Ha-ryung didn’t respond much, I didn’t think there was a problem.
I raised my glass and turned around. At the same time, all the demons
knelt down towards me and bowed their heads.
I stared blankly at him and drank a glass.
gulp.
[Drank the ‘purified blood’.]
[Small change detected in the future.]
[The causality rate increases by 1.]
And.
A mysterious aura began to spread around the floor where I was standing.
At the same time, an irresistible and intense energy began to surround my body.
Having had countless similar experiences, I could feel it.
That I am now moving into a mysterious space.
Flash!
In an instant, the surroundings changed.
A space full of pure white light.
Now, I was not embarrassed because it was a phenomenon that I had experienced countless times.
This was a mysterious space.
“I’m sure you said that the mystery directly gives you power…
Come to think of it, it seems like it’s been a while since I’ve met a mystery.
It just went well.
There were also things I wanted to ask SinB.
Right then.
[…a special guest has visited this place.]
I heard a voice ringing in my head.
When I looked up, there was a black-haired young man in white clothes in front of me.
I looked at the guy and narrowed my eyes.
“…what? human?”
At my words, the boy laughed a little.
[Whoops. Do I look human?]
A voice echoed in my head.
It was clear that this was the ‘transmission of will’ used by Shinbi.
I felt dumbfounded for a moment.
“What is it… is it a mystery?”
[To borrow your human expression, it is.]
At his words, I touched his chin and looked at him as if observing him.
“…it’s unusual.”
[What’s special about it?]
“Most of the mysteries I’ve encountered so far have bizarre appearances.”
Not only that, but his personality is also strange.
Like a child, he is also very playful.
However, unlike the other mysteries, I felt gentle.
[…hehe. be weird It’s fun.]
SinB laughed softly before speaking again.
[This is not what we really are… It’s just a temporary means to communicate with mortals…] I
felt a little curious about those words.
“What criteria do you guys use to decide your appearance?”
[Varies. Projecting one’s essence onto the other person
… or borrowing someone else’s appearance… For reference, I borrowed the appearance of someone who came here.]
If someone came here…
“…no way King of Prophecy?”
[I don’t know that. However, as the name suggests, he was the one with the power of prophecy.]
If so, he must be the king of prophecy.
Because there were only two demon kings who drank the cup of blood.
By the way, the king of prophecy was also very handsome. The 2nd generation king was also very handsome just by looking at his appearance.
well this is not important
[Your expression suddenly looks bad. Did something bad happen?]
“Not at all.”
Mystery looked at me blankly and nodded.
“Rather than that, I heard that coming here gives you power.”
[Yes, if a qualified person visits me, I will give you power.]
Mystery, who had been muttering so, continued.
[But this time, unlike before,
I feel surprised.]
I asked at the sudden mysterious words.
“What is surprising?”
[I expected you to come to finish the bowl, but it came sooner than I thought.]
“……The bowl?”
I blinked my eyes at the cryptic words.
“A bowl? What do you mean?”
[There is such a thing. You don’t have to know.]
“Sheesh.”
Seeing SinB’s characteristic behavior of looking at the liver often, I wonder if that is the case now.
I let out a short sigh.
Before that, there was something I wanted to ask when I met SinB again.
“There is one piece of information I would like to know.”
[…Information?]
I said to him.
“I heard that I have a lot of karma. Do you still have that karma left in me?” Recently, I
went through a big change to
become the ‘king of demons’ .
And I had a risk of losing my life in a battle with the second king.
Therefore, the question remained as to whether the karma was completely resolved by this incident or whether it still remained.
And at my question, SinB looked at me quietly and opened her mouth.
[Surprised. I never thought I would have known that far…]
As if he was really surprised, his eyes were a little bigger than before.
I felt
a sense of wonder at the more colorful expressions than I thought .
[As you said, you have accumulated karma. It’s the karma accumulated while changing countless destinies at will… and.]
“..and?”
[There is still a huge amount of karma inside of you.]
I bit my lip.
As I became the king of demons, there was an expectation that all of the karma accumulated until now would not have been resolved.
do you still have it left?
[You would have thought that the karma would have disappeared as you qualified, but… it is not. rather half. You have accumulated more and more karma through that incident.]
“Wait. The karma hasn’t been resolved, but rather has accumulated?”
[That’s right… That’s a surprisingly large amount of karma… Your actions have perfectly justified the judgment…] Muttering to himself like that,
SinB narrowed his eyes and smiled.
[This must surely die.]
At that moment, I felt a sense of dread.
The prophets I have met so far have said that the settlement of karma will not necessarily be in the form of ‘death’.
I was able to endure until now by relying on those words.
But this guy was sure I was going to die.
And if you ask which one has more trust… Of course, it is a mystery with a higher power.
I felt miserable, but
it wasn’t when I was so frustrated.
I quickly cleared my mind and asked other questions.
“Then what do you mean by the legitimacy of the referee you just talked about?”
[Can’t say.]
A firm answer.
I gave up listening to the answer because I knew that if I asked more questions, I would not open my mouth no matter what I did.
Then, suddenly, I wondered about something else.
“if. If I die like you said,
what will happen to the world?”
[…hmm? Are you talking about your death?]
Mystery looked at me.
Then he tilted his head as if it was a completely unexpected question.
[Hmm. That’s something I’ve never thought of before… The aftermath of a death in chaos…]
SinB muttered to herself and said.
[Because of your existence, this world has already been covered with countless chaos. It doesn’t matter if you die now. Even if I don’t die, it will be a problem… Looking at it this way, I must have committed a mortal sin.] I
was at a loss for words.
Seeing me like that, SinB shed a light laugh again.
[Looks forward to it. A new future brought about by death in chaos.]
It seems that my death is just a simple game for him.
“Anyway, my death is certain.”
Feeling dejected, I asked the guy.
“Is there no way for me to live?”
[does not exist. This is fate.]
SinB answered firmly this time as well.
At the same time, numerous thoughts ran through my head.
if.
If I die according to what he said.
My efforts so far.
What are all the efforts I’ve made so far?
And when that thought continued, belatedly, a cry burst from the depths of my heart
.
“…Do not be ridiculous.”
At my sudden words, Sinbi looked at me with suspicious eyes.
I stared straight at that mystery.
“I don’t die like this.”
[…?]
“You said that, right? I’m free from my destiny.”
Mystery didn’t answer me.
However, unlike before, he was looking at me with a face that had lost his smile
.
“Then I will decide my death.”
I have work to do.
original world. Returning to my hometown…
I couldn’t die like this simply because it was fate.
And the mystery opened its mouth to my appearance.
[Correction. As you said, you have the power of freedom to go against any fate.] [
And I said that you would die by fate, but my expression was wrong. It is right that you die by your destiny, but not by your destiny.]
I frowned at the mystery of the sudden change of words.
“what?”
[You die by someone else’s fate.]
“What do you mean? Someone else’s fate?” [Because of the future you changed, a certain being
was endowed with a strong destiny to kill you .
And the power of fate has a strong power that cannot be surpassed by any authority.]
Fate has been granted…
At those words, I learned what the ‘legitimacy of judgment’ that Sinbi said earlier meant.
And naturally, a being came to mind.
The cause of my death. That’s right.
“It’s Croas.”
[…]
Mystery did not deny.
I let out a devastated laugh when I saw it.
Croas is aiming for me…
When I thought about it alone, it was one of the leading candidates to be the cause of death.
And when I knew exactly the cause of my death, which had been hidden behind a veil, the fear inside me slowly faded.
But it wasn’t all that comfortable.
Because of all the culprits I thought of, Croas was what I wanted the most.
I asked.
“How long until my death?”
Sinbi slowly opened her mouth.
[Less than a month left.]
