Chapter 329: Us in the black world (2)

[Reading limited information. Confirming the activation of the legendary-grade attribute, the Mind’s Eye.]

[Player Yuno Kasugano’s attribute, the Eyes that see the essence and through the past and future, do not resist.]

At first, it was a coincidence.

At the second time, it was possible to spy on the black world through external intervention, but this time it seemed to have passed very smoothly.

The attribute grade remained unchanged, but I thought it could be the influence of my class evolution into a semi-mythic.

I didn’t know if it was right to express it this way, but it felt like the human price had risen. It would be natural to feel good. The precursor was the same as the last time.

I felt like I was being sucked somewhere in an instant. At the same time, the scenery I saw began to change completely.

It felt as if the soul had escaped, but there was nothing wrong with it.

It was not flustering as I had seen it several times. It was no wonder that I began to feel very happy. It wasn’t as much as the future, but the black world was also significant enough to me.

‘What. What am I watching?’

It was annoying that I had gotten inside the black world for now, but couldn’t know what I could see. However, this was still satisfactory.

Even if it was just for a moment, being able to stand on the same line as the lovely returner was beyond merit.

In an instant, the scenery in front of me began to pass by.

The unannounced scene I saw was…

‘Huh?’

The lovely returner, who had completely lost his mind, and a masked man.

A masked man was looking down at Kim Hyunsung, who looked worse than I thought. No, the gender was not clear, either. It was hard even to tell, if it was a man or a woman.

For some reason, the silhouette looked like me, but the atmosphere was subtly different from me.

In the context, it felt like that garbage drove Kim Hyunsung mad. Regardless if he regressed, considering the talent Kim Hyunsung has…

‘This bastard is the villain from the first round. This dirty piece of trash.’

The scene that had been completely ruined was giving strength to my hypothesis.

I couldn’t even notice what kind of place this place was. It had completely collapsed to the point where I wondered if it will change this way when the end of the world comes.

Corpses were everywhere, and those bodies were even decaying in real-time.

The painful screams of humans still alive were being heard everywhere, and some were melting or self-harming.

‘It’s a living hell, a living hell.’

It seemed that it was being influenced by something, but of course, there was no way to know what it was.

If I were there, I could find hints, but unfortunately, I only looked at the scenes that had already flowed from a third party’s perspective.

‘What the hell is it?’

It was difficult to grasp what the hell happened and exactly when the scene in front of me happened.

‘Isn’t Hyunsung dead?’

I thought about it for a moment, but the scene I was seeing was not the ending of the black world.

A young woman, staggering to her feet, now blocked Kim Hyunsung.

She was also not ordinary. Her body was so damaged that her ability to stand still was a miracle. Of course, I knew very well who was blocking Kim Hyunsung’s front. She belonged to the same guild as us, so it was only natural to know.

Cho Hyejin, Kim Hyunsung’s lieutenant.

She was a party member with a political sense, and although it was uncertain to say that she was out of standard, she was talented with spearing skills comparable to a monster.

She was also my friend with whom I occasionally drank, so I wasn’t happy looking at her broken appearance.

Standing lean on one of her spears, she seemed to collapse right away.

Most of her clothes were torn. It was enough for me not to know where to put my eyes on.

‘This is not intentional…’

In fact, her embarrassing appearance didn’t even catch my eye.

I, from the black world, didn’t seem to care much about it either. It was actually an appearance that looked desperate rather than embarrassing, so it would be natural for me to react that way.

Anyway, the way she was glaring at the man wearing a mask seemed to tell that she was the Cho Hyejin I knew.

But that was only for a moment. After a moment, she spoke.

‘Please save him.’

‘… …’

‘… …’

‘What?’

‘Please… save…’

‘Pfff! I don’t think it’s a line that a woman admired enough for being called Mythical Spear should say. It seems that you don’t want to die.’

The voice seemed to have been altered, but this dirty villain’s tone was very similar to mine for some reason.

‘Please… Please save it. If it’s my neck, I’ll be happy to give it to you. But please. Please, only the Guild Master…’

‘…’

‘Please. Please have mercy on him.’

She was so subdued that it was hard to think that it was the Cho Hyejin I knew.

Her always confident face was nowhere to be seen. Tears continued to flow from only her one eye, and she put her forehead to the ground with her body covered in dirt.

It was not a situation to say that it was simply humiliating.

I knew very well why a proud woman like her was looking like that.

Cho Hyejin never bends her will.

The image didn’t match enough to doubt whether it was the same person or not. It seemed it was the same for the guy wearing the mask.

The guy made an exaggeratedly surprised gesture and continued to talk again.

‘Alas. It was him. I guess it was him. Gosh, Kim Hyunsung has a good network. So many people say they will die instead. I’m envious and bitter…’

‘Please. Please.’

‘What should I do… Actually, I came to kill today, but seeing someone like you, I become strangely weakened. I’ve been through similar experiences a few times, and I know very well what it’s like to lose someone important. I like this kind of humanity. Isn’t it cool? It’s also a beautiful look. It’s a scene that looks like it will come out of a drama or a movie.’

‘Please.’

‘If it’s love, no, respect… I don’t know what it is, but it is sublime to throw your life for someone you care about. Yes. It’s sublime.’

‘Please. I beg you.’

‘By the way. Whenever I see a scene like this, I feel upset rather than sad. My head seems to be burning, and I get nauseous. This means it’s tough because I keep thinking of scenes I don’t want to remember. Other people’s beliefs cause guilt in what I am doing. Oh, if you think I don’t feel guilty, you’re mistaken, Cho Hyejin. I am definitely a person. A Person.’

‘… …’

The more I looked at it; the more unpleasant emotions began to appear.

I hoped it was not the case, but I thought that I might be that masked villain. In fact, I had come to that conclusion right from the start.

Obviously, this was the black world that I was seeing through Yuno Kasugano.

At least she or I, who were connected to her, one of us should have appeared.

I wanted to curse.

If I were to think about it, it seemed likely.

Lee Kiyoung of the black world was hopeless garbage among the garbage, and after losing Park Deokgu, he completely lost his mind.

The purpose was, of course, his revenge.

I didn’t know how many years would have passed since Park Deokgu died, but it felt that the story fit perfectly when I thought that he had reached this point after going through many things.

I wanted to guess how many years have passed with Cho Hyejin or Kim Hyunsung’s appearances, but it was hard to infer from their appearance that didn’t age under the influence of magic power.

Anyway, my anxiety started to rise more and more. As nothing has been decided yet, it seemed that I would not have to make hasty judgments.

In the meantime, the words of the masked trash were a spectacle.

‘Look, Cho Hyejin-nim. Isn’t my head continuously burning? I also want to be satisfied with you alone, but I’m worried that I can’t aim well with my head hurting. I’m afraid it’ll hit the person behind you. That shouldn’t happen. Wouldn’t it be sad when you try to give your life for someone you love, but my hands slip, and I make a mistake? Haha.’

‘If so…’

‘Alas. Stop it, Hyejin. That’s not right. That’s not right. Decide yourself! Lancer! I’m not saying that. It’s also part of revenge, so it would be better to finish it with my own hands. All you have to do is stop the headache. Just the headache. Then everything will be solved.’

‘I… What can I do?’

‘You don’t have to do anything. Actually, I don’t know what to order. Even if I ask you to come with me, it is obvious that it is difficult for you to accept it. I also don’t want to hold a bomb, so… well, that’s it. I think it would be better to solve this headache on my own. I’ll keep my promise.’

It was then that an arrow flew in from somewhere. In an instant, a bunch of arrows started to get stuck in Cho Hyejin’s body.

‘Kahak…’

Cho Hyejin looked more relieved than in pain.

The man wearing a mask spoke out once again, looking at her face.

‘Cho Hyejin. The master of your guild will go back alive.’

‘Thank… you…’

‘In such a situation, if I receive even gratefulness, it makes me sadder. Rather than thanking me… say what you want to say. I don’t hate people like you. I can’t be sure if I’ll give you your will, but it’s still better than having no one to listen to the last words.’

‘Sigh… Sigh. Guild… Master.’

‘Yes, yes.’

‘Guild Master.’

‘Yes, yes.’

‘I… I… liked yo…’

‘Yes, yes… I definitely got it, Cho Hyejin.’

‘… …’

‘Ah… You are already dead.’

‘… …’

‘Actually, I didn’t hate you…’

‘… …’

‘What can I do? The situation we are facing is different. It’s an obvious line, but we could have become friends if we had met differently elsewhere. I was your enemy, but on the one hand, I respected you. The last was the same. In fact, I didn’t want to end it this way, but Mythical Spear’s end was more humiliating than sublime… Well, what more do I need to say? You are already dead.’

I think I knew roughly what that trash was talking about.

The black world’s details are unknown, but Cho Hyejin was a foreigner with a high reputation called Mythical Spear.

There must be a desire to show her a humiliating death, rather than a sublime one.

However, seeing that he couldn’t easily leave Cho Hyejin’s side, it seemed that his conscience remained as he said. What he was worried about was indeed obvious.

He was thinking about whether to leave Cho Hyejin’s body as it was.

That masked trash and I were never the same person, but even if it were me, I wouldn’t like that Cho Hyejin, who showed a similar appearance to Park Deokgu, would face such an end.

As if he was determined, he slowly stretched out his hand.

Contrary to the mention of her humiliating end, black flames began to soar from her body. He didn’t say anything, but he picked up her spear and put it in the ashes.

He slowly turned back and removed the mask that covered his face, and the man muttered.

‘I feel dirty.’

It was also true that there was a certain expectation that we would not be the same person.

However…

Upon seeing the face reflected in my eyes…

It was perfectly the same face as mine.
