Episode 262 zero (4)
About 5 minutes after Lois and the twins were swallowed up by darkness.
Gwangryong’s eyes were filled with wisdom.
Cheolsu88 appears again.
The fact that the darkness that erased existence itself did not disappear meant that those trapped within it were still alive.
Moreover, a little while ago, a weak light was seeping through the darkness.
This is a phenomenon that absolutely cannot and should not happen.
Cheolsu88 looked at the light and frowned.
[no way… … .]
Such a phenomenon does not occur for no reason.
A change that occurs because something has changed within the darkness.
It was obvious that that would never be a good thing for him.
Cheolsu88, who guessed what was happening in the darkness, gritted his teeth.
[…] Terrible guy.]
Because of this guy named Lois, the world he created was completely turned upside down.
Now, it is no exaggeration to think that it is a completely different world, not one of one’s own creation.
That’s why even though I tried so hard to kill her, Lois stubbornly survived the danger of death.
Also, every time he went through a crisis, he became stronger.
It will be the same this time too.
I created a light dragon with the ‘power’ I had saved and saved, and thought that this time I would be able to kill him without fail, but this time, he would survive again.
‘Also, with this incident as an opportunity, I will become even stronger.’
I thought I could kill him, but it ended up giving him an opportunity to advance.
Perhaps, if he broke through that darkness, he should have been considered to have reached the level of zero.
‘I wish I could deal with him here before he goes completely to zero… … .’
‘Is it too late?’
But it was too much now.
It was a fake light dragon created by pouring all the ‘power’ it had accumulated, but it was very crude compared to the real light dragon.
And Lois was stronger than I thought.
The technique used by the fake light dragon now was one that involved considerable effort.
If I had pushed harder here, the shape I had forcibly held could have collapsed.
In fact, the ‘dark space’ used this time was the trump card prepared by Cheolsu88.
‘I can’t help it.’
For now, that’s all for today.
And now, even stronger power was needed to kill Lois.
You will have to prepare yourself for that.
There is a cold, murderous look in Gwangryong’s eyes.
[…] The next one will be the last.]
The light dragon turned and began to fly.
Toward the east, where the spring, summer, fall, and winter continents are located.
* * *
As time passed, the light emanating from Lois’ body became brighter.
At the same time, his thinking became deeper and deeper.
‘The state of zero. And the key… … .’
The state of zero that he knew was an extra-standard force that interfered with the laws of the world.
‘Then isn’t the key that your father mentioned a medium that connects me to the law?’
Is the key here material?
Or symbolic meaning?
Even if it’s one of the two, then who are ‘them’?
‘them… ‘Who are they?’
A being who can connect me with the laws of the world.
Who on earth are they?
Lois continued to worry.
He noticed something strange.
‘huh?’
A sound as if someone is calling you.
No, it was more of a signal than a sound.
A strange sensation felt inside oneself.
‘What is this?’
A feeling of familiarity, as if I had known you for a very long time.
Lois slowly savored the strange sensation.
And I was able to realize it.
‘me… ‘Are you calling me?’
The signals sent by the senses were like that.
A feeling of whining, as if asking for recognition of one’s existence.
‘Who are you?’
The signal changed at that question.
The guy was talking.
You have to find the answer.

So Lois focused her mind on the signal ringing within her.
I realized it instinctively.
This is the existence of ‘them’ that Generoker spoke of.
‘what… Why do I feel this familiar energy?’
What is this guy?
Where did I feel this?
The first thing that came to mind was the mana he contained.
To be exact, attribute power.
However, the feeling conveyed was different from that.
‘It’s much more evolved than that… It feels like something else. But when did I… This… … .’
As she continued to worry, lightning struck Lois’ head.
It finally occurred to me.
Where have you felt this sensation?
Only once in your life.
When I was carried by my father and entered Eunhwaseong Fortress.
The moment he was surrounded by the 13 elders who had reached the level of zero and had his attribute powers determined, he was a collection of attribute powers that was like a jewel that flew to him.
This is exactly the feeling that came from it.
In the past, it was simply thought to be an attribute power.
But now that I think about it, the elemental power of the 13th circle was different from the general elemental power.
If general attribute power is derived from mana, then this… … .
‘Feeling a little closer to the essence.’
And the people of the world called it this.
“Source.”
The moment Lois muttered that, a real voice came from inside him.
[That’s correct, Lois.]
and.
Clap-.
With the sound of keys turning together, a dazzling rainbow-colored glow rose from Lois’ whole body.
At the same time, Lois felt that her soul was connected to something.
As I felt a crazy sense of fullness, my confidence that I could accomplish anything soared.
Lois put that confidence into action.
OK.
Tsutsutsu-.
The darkness began to tear apart.
* * *
Sigh-.
There was a ship moving at high speed through the current with a favorable wind.
A ship heading from the spring continent to the summer continent.
A large passenger ship carrying 300 passengers required the efforts of many people to sail through the sea.
The general manager in charge of everything on the passenger ship.
A navigator who explores the route and decides the course, etc.
In particular, the deck crew accounted for the largest proportion of the crew.
Why are there so many of them?
There was nothing special.
Because they were needed anytime and anywhere.
Well, it goes without saying. In fact, all the minor work on the ship was handled by the deck crew.
The dirtiest.
The deck crew do the hardest work.
Because of this, there were many people who gave up after making a few voyages, saying they couldn’t do it.
Moreover, due to the reputation of the deck crew, the job always suffered from manpower shortages.
For that reason, ships sometimes hired deck crew members for temporary, short-term positions.
In modern times, it was like a short-term part-time job.
And this summer, Elvis was among those who became temporary sailors on a continent-bound ship.
“Hey, Elvis. “Go and throw this in the sea!”
“Yes, I understand!”
Elvis nodded at the command of the ship’s cooking crew, picked up the collected leftovers, and climbed the steep stairs inside the ship, whining.
Then, the leftover dirt splattered on his pants and shoes, but as if the situation was already somewhat familiar, Elvis moved the leftover container without any hesitation.
Elvis reached the stern and poured out food waste.
“Whoa… … .”
Elvis let out a long sigh and sat down against the wall to catch his breath.
His eyes looked up at the bright blue sky.
“… “I’m getting used to it after doing this.”
Before turning back time.
Even when I was taking refuge from Gwangryong.
Even during the long fight against Gwangryong.
I have never lived in such poverty.
‘I was called a wise man, but here I am, throwing away food scraps…’ … .’
The reason why Elvis ended up in this situation was simple.
Because there is no money.
“ha… … .”
Elvis wasted his time unable to adapt to the changed reality.
He tried to head to the Spring Continent to properly understand the situation, but his attempts were repeatedly blocked by his family.
Then, I barely succeeded and left the house as if I was running away at night.
Afterwards, he headed west from the east of the Summer Continent to the west where there was a ship bound for the Spring Continent.
A long journey across the summer continent.
At first, he thought he would be able to reach the west of the Summer Continent without difficulty.
But that was Elvis’ mistake.
A fact he overlooked.
No, it was a fact that I could not accept even though I knew it.
It was that his whole situation had changed.
Family wealth.
property he has.
Furthermore, to the state of Ilshin.
Although he thought he had adapted to the current situation, he was still unable to escape the illusions of the past.
Therefore, how could it be easy to endure that arduous journey with an ordinary body that has not even accumulated the slightest elemental power?
Moreover, because he ran away from home, he was penniless.
Since he was born without money, he never knew the fear of poverty.
In the past, for Elvis, money was something you had to earn, and it was easy to make.
In the past, people had so much ability that it was easy to make money.
However, after becoming an incompetent ordinary person, I realized how difficult it was to make money and eat one meal a day.
There were many times when I starved for a day or two while crossing the continent in the summer, and the number of times I never had a decent night’s sleep could be counted on one hand.
Even if he tried to make money using his knowledge, it was not easy.
After struggling day after day, Elvis finally arrived at Eibout Port, west of the Summer Continent, where there was a ship to the Spring Continent.
I thought the hard work was finally over, but it was actually just the beginning.
I had to get a job right away to pay for the fare to go to the continent in the spring.
But it’s a life where you earn a day and eat a day.
No matter how much I worked, I couldn’t save any money.
That’s why he ended up applying to be a temporary crew member on a ship bound for the spring continent.
Arriving at the Spring Continent after going through all the hardships again.
From there, the journey to his hometown, which I heard about from Kendrick in the past.
After all, Kendrick’s hometown was at the western end of the Spring Continent.
If he didn’t know about the ancient space movement law that existed on the Spring Continent.
If only I hadn’t built up a little bit of elemental power while traversing the summer continent in hopes of regaining my past status.
So, if the space movement beomjin couldn’t work.
I had no idea how many years I would have wasted crossing the continent again in the spring.
After many twists and turns, he arrived at Kendrick’s hometown, which he knew… … .
‘The village… doesn’t exist… … .’
Nothing existed there.
No, I couldn’t even see people after leaving the village in the first place.
Vanity came to visit Elvis.
Nevertheless, he did not give up until the end.
‘okay… ‘Maybe not here.’
With a glimmer of hope, he frantically searched the Nokchi Mountains in search of a hope that he could not give up.
He had been searching the mountains for almost ten days.
A march that lasted over three years.
And as a result of wandering through the mountains for several days without eating properly, he eventually collapsed.
If he hadn’t been discovered by a hunter by chance, he would have been in the stomach of a monster or wild animal by now.
Afterwards, he stayed at the house of a kind-hearted hunter, and as he left the village, he told him what he knew in return.
A light dragon will appear.
So if you want to live, run away.
In fact, those words were nothing short of a promise to himself and stubbornness.
The light dragon will appear.
It will definitely show up!
So don’t give up.
Even after leaving the village, Elvis spent several days searching the Nokchi Mountains.
At that point, he had no choice but to admit it.
‘Gwangryong… ‘It doesn’t exist.’
For our dead comrades.
I returned to the past to prevent destruction, but the world was very different.
peace.
The ‘peace’ that he and his colleagues so desperately wanted.
Although he fought so hard to return the world to peace, Elvis lost his purpose due to the world becoming peaceful.
Afterwards, he left the Nokchi Mountains and returned to Port Eybaut, and became a temporary crew member on a summer ship bound for the continent, which is where he is today.
Sigh-.
Elvis looked vainly at the sky while listening to the sound of the water splitting.
A soft voice came out of his mouth.
“… “How am I supposed to live now?”
Elvis’ mind, having lost his purpose, was wandering.
