190 – No Face (10)
Splash―
No Face slowly stood up.
Where on earth is this place?
A place filled with ultramarine blue.
It felt like I was in a wide cave.
―……
·
Swing the sword without hesitation.
Because there was nothing that could not be destroyed.
But the sword strike only flashes for a moment.
It is eaten by the darkness and disappears without leaving a trace.
No Face then realized that this was an unusual place.
Activates a mind filled only with reason.
I try to calmly understand the situation.
―…… I hate it.
But we deny ourselves the will to understand.
Look down.
Look at yourself with a sense of sight even though there are no eyes.
A huge man, almost 3m tall.
It’s ideal for a swordsman despite the armor I didn’t want to wear.
Aesthetically speaking, the body, which is not beautiful at all, stands out.
It’s not pretty at all.
It’s not lovely at all.
Why? Why?
Where did it go?
―… Mine.
Where did my once beautiful self go and did I turn into this terrifying monster again?
I, I, clearly have feelings, love……
“I barely succeeded.”
―…… !
In a moment, a familiar voice is heard.
A young man flipping back his wet bangs.
Eternal nemesis.
Humanity’s strongest swordsman, recognized only by No Face.
―… Choi Si-woo.
“I skipped it at first because I was out of my mind, but it’s amazing to listen to it again. Really.”
I never thought a day like this would come.
I never thought he would say my name.
Anyway, let’s get started now.
I slowly relaxed my neck.
Stretch both arms and exhale softly.
“… .”
[Russel, the god of light, answers your call.]
[The sword of condemnation (EX) achieves holy sanctification.]
[Exercises absolute power against all demonic and evil attribute targets.]
[This is a space of a specific image. You do not take damage from the Sword of Judgment.]
“… .”
[Irelua, the goddess of life, answers your call.]
[Recovers all stamina and magic power during the duration.]
[All damage received is reduced by 50%.]
A sense of strength fills the whole body.
Nearly infinite power with no limits.
Originally, I wouldn’t have been able to do it like this.
‘… ‘It’s a different story here.’
My image.
A place where I have always trained and scolded myself for endless years with Kay.
A place where my imagination becomes my will and strength.
You can do it here.
‘… ‘No Face can be defeated.’
This operation was set up for that purpose.
Everyone cooperated for that.
Can be close to gambling.
But it was successful.
‘So…… ‘
Do your best to defeat him.
* * *
The day before entering the Ark.
Choi Si-woo stopped the training group and carefully stood in front of them.
“… “I’ll be honest with you.”
Everyone here, including me.
“It is impossible to beat No matter what means you use.”
Everyone fell silent at the shocking statement.
Is it because everyone was vaguely aware of it?
No rebuttal was received.
Of course, there is a difference in degree.
Yuan and Seol Garam had expressions of ‘Is that that much?’ Because they had not seen the man’s full potential, which could only be described as fear.
On the other hand, Erina and Yurika’s complexions became as hard as stone.
Past life.
Yes, everyone here has definitely reached a higher level of strength than their previous lives, and have succeeded in transcending the realm and literally breaking the limit.
“… But even so, it is impossible to win.”
In the first place, this was something that deviated from Choi Si-woo’s plan.
Even if I couldn’t do it, it had to be after I graduated from Prunel.
Train endlessly and become stronger.
Everyone had to be more mentally and physically mature than now to subdue him with ample support and a perfect strategy.
This is also the standard for the current , Not the now crazy .
But everything went wrong when an unexpected nemesis appeared.
The biggest reason Choi Si-woo trained thinking he could beat Was because of the right to go first.
No matter how strong it is, it is an immovable being that will not move unless you approach it first.
A being who was fully prepared and able to take the lead because it did not move.
However, No Face took the lead by riding the disaster called “Ark”.
This was a great disaster and a declaration of destruction.
“… So what, let’s just suck our fingers like this?”
I shook my head at Yuen’s sarcasm.
If that had been the case in the first place, I would have taken everyone and ran away somewhere.
“… “There is a chance of victory.”
“Are you really saying there is a chance of winning?”
Instead of answering, Choi Si-woo took out his pocket watch.
An artifact with effects that everyone is familiar with.
“… “I’m sure you’re not saying we should all do some mental training as a group right now, right?”
“… No. Even if you do that, this is not an opponent you can beat.”
“… Then?”
“… “Recently I experienced a heartbreaking breakup.”
Sudden words.
Everyone blinked, but only one person.
Yurika was the only one with a sad expression.
“… “As I let my sore fingers go, I learned things against my will and thought at the same time.”
＞.
“I think I might be able to transform all the things, experiences, and emotions that I have lived through in my mind over the years I have lived into power.”
Choi Haru, Choi Uri.
The power that showed regret and pain to the two beloved children and the truth that they loved them more than anyone else.
Use it.
“This is a gamble. You may fail, and if you fail, there is virtually no way back.”
But there is no chance of victory other than this.
No matter how much I thought about it, this was the only way to win.
A gamble that Choi Si-woo would never take.
The heart of a beast that boldly bets on its precious companions.
Therefore, I had to explain it to them.
“… Now I will tell you the gist of the operation. “If you hear it and decide it’s impossible, you can leave right away.”
The explanation that follows.
The more you listen, the more strangely everyone’s expressions change.
But no one left.
While that fact makes Choi Si-woo’s heart sore…
“… Thank you.”
It made me happier than anyone else.
* * *
Boom!
Kwakwauk!
Kagagak—!
I can’t believe it.
I thought about Choi Si-woo as well as No Face, who I was dealing with.
Choi Si-woo.
He was fighting on equal footing with No Face.
The strength that was barely able to withstand a single sword strike has become a similar level of strength.
The speed, which was insufficient to the point of being noticed too late, was fast enough to embarrass No Face.
Lastly, his body was strengthened to the point where his nearly infinite magical power and overwhelming output like the Great Sea knew no limits.
Cut up diagonally and cut down to the left.
Pull the incoming sword inward and push it back to stab him deeply.
As if that wasn’t enough, he uses a kick to drive the stabbed sword deep into the ground like a stake.
Quad!
A crashing noise is heard.
Armor.
The armor of the guy who couldn’t even inflict a single wound is clearly cracked.
Spread your hands.
This is your own image.
The
Imaginary world in the true sense, where what you think becomes reality.
It cannot directly interfere with No-Face, but it is possible to do small things.
Before he knew it, the Stuck in his armor was back in his hand.
‘… It works.’
That fact exploded in Choi Si-woo’s head and caused an endless flow of dopamine.
Emotions filled with joy fill my eyes with life.
It was originally impossible.
The gap between the two is overwhelming.
No, in the first place, the gap in power is absolute.
Even if you throw the secret skill that all 8 people have, , Right in front of No Face’s nose, you cannot win.
Rather, they will all be wiped out with a single cut.
This is also the same for Choi Si-woo.
5 Years in real time according to his calculations.
Even though I can’t imagine it, I would have to train for more than 5,000 years to be able to fight on equal footing with No-Face.
They are all equal.
However, he overwhelms No Face.
The reason why this is possible is because of .
Yurika spent 30 years in the world of imagination.
Erina has been around for 100 years.
Then what about Choi Si-woo?
‘… 20,000 Years.’
Nearly eternity.
A time when it is natural to go crazy.
With the help of a cheat-like assistant named Kei, I was able to forget the feeling of time and just practice with all my might.
Change those 20,000 years into strength.
The reason why this is possible is because of .
Originally, it was an artifact intended to directly enter the imagination of others.
Choi Si-woo used this on himself, converting it into a doping machine that converts it into power.
Even if an ordinary awakened person uses it like this, it will not become much stronger.
It was a secret technique that could only be achieved by someone who had spent eons in the mental world and possessed an image that was second to none.
Pakan!
Of course, it is not without a price.
The sound of cracking echoes.
The world of imagination is slowly falling apart.
The pocket watch in my arms glows as if it can’t hold on any longer.
Choi Si-woo’s memories also fade.
The numerous know-hows and the utmost precision of the sword sent from here are gradually being worn away.
If you completely collapse, you may never practice in your mind again.
You will not be able to use , Which is the basis of power.

Maybe…… You might end up in a situation no different from a civilian.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Yes. Does not matter.
If only I could defeat him.
If only we could go further and eliminate the demon god.
If only everyone could achieve happiness by smiling and living without worrying about the future.
This is a business that can be made cheaply and still make a lot of money.
Boom!
Take a step forward.
The will spreads, making No Face’s whole body tremble.
Taesan falls.
I feel the feeling that everything in the world is at my feet.
Yes, this is it.
Is this a feeling?
I realize how much of a monster the guy in front of me is.
But I am not afraid.
I’m not scared anymore.
Acknowledging his strength, I open my own door.
Sky. The Second Coming of Heaven. Cheonoecheon beyond Sangsangjeon.
Choi Si-woo instinctively realized what this was.
The state that Cecilia and Silphia were secretly talking about.
He realizes that he has now stepped into that place.
― Her older sister, who wielded her sword for an incomparable number of years compared to mine, ultimately couldn’t escape the state of Hyeongyeong (玄境), right? But how can I get into the higher level, heaven?
–
―Meaaa, disciple. Perhaps you will be able to open the gates of heaven that even this body has not dared to enter.
–
―You and I can transcend species and reach the realms of supremacy that even the gods feared. Please hold Ken Ichimaru’s hand.
Cheonhwa (天話).
This stage is commonly called the Life and death scene(Birth and death scene).
The ultimate stage of heart killing.
It was a moment when the door was wide open for Choi Si-woo, who had obtained the Heart Sword.
* * *
―……
No Face was startled by his trembling arms.
I don’t know what kind of harmony they are trying to achieve.
Only 1 second.
In just that moment, the young man before my eyes was transformed into a completely different being.
The endless gold in his eyes stands out.
No Face was paradoxically incomprehensible, but he understood at the same time.
The man before my eyes had surpassed himself.
I am painfully aware of that fact.
―……
I feel thirsty even though I am not thirsty.
I want to eat even though I have no mouth.
Thirst, longing, desire.
I want to make that light my own.
As expected, Choi Si-woo.
It was truly the answer.
That light he had was able to fill his emptiness.
He instinctively realizes that that light is possible because of the ‘love’ he received from those he trusted so much.
―…… Give it to me.
–
It!
Give it to me!
Grasp the chest sword with both hands.
Run with all your might.
The open chest degenerates into something grotesque and unleashes a secret technique that has never been used before.
A strike imbued with all magical power and magical energy.
▶Master. Coming.
‘…… Uh.’
Choi Si-woo also faced this clearly.
Go forward slowly, one step, two steps.
Grasp the With both hands and raise it above your head.
Sacrifice 10,000 years of time.
The image of collapsing is imbued into , Creating a perfect ‘black color’.
[Perfectly embodies the power of nothingness (EX).]
Just like that, slowly and slowly.
But above all, draw it down clearly.

A perfect vertical line.
The sword path is more beautiful than anything Choi Si-woo has ever wielded.
That was the end.
Quick!
Not only does it strike one blow, but the body of No-Face is cut in half by lowering the chest sword.
Through a face filled with endless emptiness, black liquid flows, forming a river.
Thump!
Bend your knees.
Even though we are all dying, we stretch out our hands.
I thought it was a bit pathetic to see people longing for something they couldn’t have.
“…… “
I swing my sword again.
With that, its body shatters, turns into powder, and disappears.
2Nd place in Yukma Station. .
My nemesis from my past life.
The messenger that Choi Si-woo feared the most.
It was the moment when I finally succeeded in breaking off the bad relationship with him (her).
