Chapter 1757 – 1757. Savior of the Academy
The collapsing tower suddenly stopped.
It was as if time had stopped while the tower was collapsing. I momentarily wondered if I had written a moment. But no. The wind blowing felt too cool for a moment.
‘What is it? What happened in the tower?’
That was a special dungeon for sure. Something happened inside the tower, not outside.
‘Is it related to Seongha-ri’s screams?’
I glared at the top. I tried to look inside with the broken part of the tower. Didn’t see. The same goes for Cheonan. It was different from seeing through Hasegawa Isshin’s barrier. The space itself feels different.
‘I’ll have to go into this myself.’
Ride in the wind The body floated upwards.
“For a moment. What is that tower?”
Jiyoung Kang grabbed my shoulder and asked.
“What?”
“I asked what that tower was.”
“…….”
Are you kidding me?
I was dumbfounded. I was about to say something, but Kang Ji-young’s serious face caught my eye. Kang Ji-young was not a person who joked about things like this. She is serious about everything, so Kang Ji-young is someone who doesn’t even joke around.
“You just told me about that tower. Did you forget right away? Do you have dementia?”
“Did I just tell you about that tower? I think I said that for sure. … Dementia. Is dementia really coming at this age?”
Kang Ji-young narrowed her eyebrows while looking at the top. She retraced her memory and tried to recall something about the tower. But she soon shakes her head.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with my memory. What is that top Shouldn’t there be a dungeon here?”
“Look at the corpses all around. Even after seeing that scene, you still don’t know what a tower is?”
“I know it’s an uncommon dungeon. I know that there was a battle between Koreans and Chinese. Being on the border was a problem. Although it is rare for battles to take place on such a large scale as now, there are similar cases. But I don’t know anything about the tower that caused it. Judging from your reaction, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary dungeon.”
“Did you know that Seongha-ri entered the tower?”
“I know that. Most of these corpses are his own. But haven’t we already had this conversation?”
“It is a confirmation task.”
Kang Ji-young has only her memories of the Tower of Wishes gone. No, she is probably not only Kang Ji-young. Everyone who knows about the Tower of Wishes will be included.
‘Like using the right to obliterate information. The information about the Tower of Wishes has disappeared.’
If so, it is understandable that there is no record of the Tower of Wishes outside of the dungeon.
‘Something like a massive mind attack? Is it because of my absolute mind that I am fine? Or did I come from outside the dungeon?’
How much power would it take to delete information about the Tower of Wishes without the right to obliterate information? To erase even the memory of Kang Ji-young, an S-class hero.
‘I don’t know, but it’s certain that an enormous being is involved in the Tower of Wishes.’
You will know the answers to all your questions once you enter the tower.
Cuckoo kung.
A part of the tower that stopped collapses. Little by little, and slowly, the tower is crumbling.
“Answer my question. What is that tower?”
“You don’t have to know.”
“What?”
I shook Jiyoung Kang’s hand and flew to the top of the tower. We were able to get inside thanks to some collapsed towers.
The sensation of a sudden change in the flow of air.
As expected, the interior of the tower was different from the exterior.
The space inside was larger than it looked from the outside. A floor made of white marble, thick pillars reaching high into the sky, and a golden glowing background. It was a very pious atmosphere. And at the center of them were three people.
Seong Ha-ri sat down on the floor.
Something taking the form of a human in front of it. It could be called darkness, or it could be called light. Unidentified. He does not even have original knowledge.
And Laplace next to them.
As soon as he sees Laplace, his anger rises. Paper weave. An electric current bounced from Kusanagi’s sword.
“… Brother?”
Seongha-ri called me in a daze.
She could intuit that word. Seong Ha-ri in front of him is Young Ha-ri, whom he met in virtual reality.
• • •
Seongha-ri, who had been stabbed in the chest by another spear, opened his eyes.
It was in the woods. A place in memory Virtual reality, that is, the place I had been to before entering the dungeon. The dungeon gate was nowhere to be found and he was lying on the floor.
She got up slowly and checked her body. There were no stab wounds to her chest. Was she dreaming herself? That’s not it. Everything I felt in that world was real. That’s why the anger that burns her heart is also real.
Sung Hari sharpened her teeth.
“That lady… ! You can’t really kill me!”
She was angry but understanding. Because she seems to have made that choice herself. She said she would do anything for her Sung Eugene.
‘… She thought she got along quite well though.’
She rose from her seat, touching her chest.
Where are you? Is it real? Or is it the world inside the dungeon, as Sung Yu-jin said?
There was an emptiness that could not be hidden in the burning anger.
‘I am Seonghari. Do you think I would be stupid? I’ll pay you back.’
Even if that is herself.
She moved once.
Time passed just like that. She behaved as usual. While resting in a suitable hotel, she receives and solves an illegal request to earn her money. When she heard that there was a dangerous villain nearby, she would go back and kill her.
As time passed, her anger toward her other self diminished. Instead, her emptiness grows.
‘I’m fake.’
He is fake
This world is also fake.
There is reason to be sure.
‘There are no older brothers in this world.’
A world without Sung Eugene.
That alone made this world a fake. And maybe, in the future, I will never be able to meet Seong Yu-jin for the rest of my life.
‘… If I get pregnant and give birth to a child, will a brother be born?’
However, they do not know who Seong Yu-jin’s father is. She had asked another herself about this when she was in virtual reality. She didn’t answer the other herself. Turning her words around, or keeping her mouth shut, she was silent.
‘It’s a crazy idea. Even if I give birth to a child, she won’t be able to call it her brother.’
She decided to find Seong Eugene.
Maybe Sung Eugene exists in a place she doesn’t know about? She is called for her hopes.
She told the broker she worked with to find her Seong Eugene. After narrowing and narrowing down, we found 13 people with the same name. Sung Ha-ri confirmed all the people with the same name. Of course, she wasn’t the Sung Eugene he knew.
Even so, Sung Hari did not give up. She went to people with special abilities and tried to find her Seong Eugene. All results are unsuccessful. Still, she couldn’t give up.
As time goes by, dark and sticky emotions fill up.
Jealousy.
Jealousy toward Sung Ha-ri in the real world.
Anger at himself for killing himself rises again.
‘Brother. I want to see you.’
‘Even if she wasn’t the only woman… I should have been by my brother’s side!’
‘Why can’t she be that woman and me?’
‘Why do I have to be fake?’
‘In this world without an older brother…. Is there any meaning in the fake world?’
At some point, she killed those who got in her way. As far as she was a hero she tried not to kill as much as she did. But now she is a hero and a villain without hesitation and kills everyone without hesitation.
‘It’s a fake world anyway.’
Before we could argue between good and evil, this world was fake. There was no meaning.
She moved to meet Seong Yu-jin. Those who interfered with it were killed without question. At some point, she became an SS-class criminal. She even got her nickname of Disaster. It was her nickname when her S-class hero stopped her and died as a result of her reverse.
Disaster.
She became a disaster that no one could stop.
“Why?! Why can’t we meet?! Just, i… I want to meet my brother!”
Sung Hari shouted.
No matter how hard she tried, there was no way she could meet Seong Yu-jin, even though she had searched for and dug up her foolish legend.
It was about the time when anger and irritation reached their limits.
She heard information about the Tower of Wishes from the broker. The tower is said to grant wishes if you go to the end of the tower. Many people laughed and passed. Will you still grant my wish? It is an absurd rumor like a child’s fairy tale.
But those who believe the rumor
‘Isn’t that what that bitch mentioned about the Tower of Wishes?’
And then something seemed to be evasive.
She has a sense The Tower of Wishes will be real. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked seriously.
‘The problem is that China and Korea and all kinds of villains are twisted like flying flies.’
Negotiations with Korea and China were not possible. Because she was an SS-level villain.
She has no choice but to break through by force.
However, is it possible for even her to forcefully penetrate the place where Chinese and Korean heroes are gathered?
‘It’s impossible. It is said that S-class heroes from China and Korea are gathering. Even if it breaks through, it’s not the end.’
You must attack the Tower of Wishes.
I needed strength.
She met Guirakgok, a Chinese criminal organization, and Madojeong, a Japanese criminal organization. Through a broker, she called Korea’s Mine Union Kryzen.
‘All three of them would want to know the source of my power.’
Indicates the source of power. Of course, it doesn’t tell you everything. Inform and use appropriately.
Seongha-ri used them to open the spirit realm. She entered the spirit realm with them. The Spirit King came out favorably. Thanks to this, he was able to catch the Spirit King off guard and absorb the Spirit King’s power as a Spirit Devourer. Gaining strength, she immediately escaped from the spirit realm.
The Spirit King’s wrath and curse reached her, but as she absorbed the Spirit King, she deflected her Spirit King’s curse.
There was no guilt. Because it’s fake anyway Other villains who entered the spirit realm? I wasn’t interested in what to do. Gaining strength, she headed to the Tower of Wishes.
He interrupted the fighting Chinese and Korean heroes and killed them all. In case you didn’t know, you killed your competitor. She was heartless, but she couldn’t kill her old friend.
She left behind her wounded Jiyoung Kang and entered the Tower of Wishes.
『Climb to the top of the Tower of Wishes and make your wish come true.』
“It’s the first floor.”
『Kill the Sky Whale.』
Doing what the tower told her to do, she climbed to the top of the tower, the 30th floor.
What greeted her on her 30th floor was an alien presence. It has a human form, but it is not known exactly what it looks like. He is light and like darkness. His heavy voice asked Sung Hari.
“What is your wish?”
