◈ Episode 531: Followers of the Dream (2)
Imjongmong’s Undying.
One of Nirva’s five clans and possesses the strongest physical strength that shakes the world of dreams.
A huge body and an immortal body.
That alone was more than enough to place him at the pinnacle of all dream beings.
[Turn off, turn off.]
Now, that Undying made a dying sound while lying sprawled on the floor.
The body was fine.
Even if his heart explodes and his head blows off, his power returns everything to its original state.
A resilience that goes beyond regeneration and can be called time reversal.
However, even such an outstanding resilience could not make the pain once experienced impossible.
Yes.
At first glance, Undying’s immortality seems like a great ability, but what’s intact is just the torso.
The mind was not.
Quite a few wounds could be overcome with strong mental strength.
In fact, because of this characteristic, Undying had a strong mentality different from others.
Her body is a shield that protects her master, Nirva.
Therefore, the characteristic obtained with the mind that it should never collapse or collapse was immortality.
no one can kill themselves
That this power would make him invincible.
Obviously it was
“To say you’re still sane, you’re a strong child after all. This grandmother is also starting to get tired.”
Clara Cowen looked down at Undying from the sky, giggling.
Undying didn’t answer. The moment she opened her mouth, it was because she felt that a begging for help would come out rather than an exhilarating cry.
His mind had already been chopped into pieces by Clara Cowen’s near-torturous assault.
The reason he kept his mouth shut was because of his last and final pride as a member of his family.
However, even if he protected his pride, there was nothing he could do about the power of violence that was right in front of his eyes.
Clara Cowen herself said she was tired, but that was not the case at all from Undying’s point of view.
she was fine
Rather, the more I use the power of dreams, the more vivid it seems to me than before.
No, it was not an illusion.
[You, you… … .]
Undying barely opened his mouth.
With his mind dimmed by the pain of excessive torture, he remembered his master, Nirva.
An old woman named Clara Cowen.
different from normal humans.
I doubted it at the point of freely handling the dream, but the level was too threatening.
Contrary to his benevolent appearance, it was the same when he looked at the part where he destroyed his mind with all kinds of torture methods that existed on the continent.
that’s why it’s dangerous
Although Nirva, her master, would never be defeated by a mere human.
If the.
Still, if there’s really even one possibility.
[Geuggeukgeuk.]
“Are you still trying to move?”
Clara watched Undying’s actions and pointed her staff at her.
Flash!
Green crosses created in the air were embedded in various parts of Undying’s body.
Even the arm he barely lifted fell helplessly, pierced by the cross.
[I am. Im Jongmong’s… … Undying… … .]
“Now go to sleep.”
Clara pointed her wand at Undying’s head.
The green dream at the end spread like smoke.
It didn’t attack to destroy the body like before.
Just quietly, like a grandmother’s hand embracing her grandchildren.
The green dream only wrapped around Undying in a cozy way.
Undying’s open mouth slowly closed.
The bulging eyes gradually lost their color and sank into a void, and the huge eyelids closed down.
Undying greeted a quiet death like someone who had been euthanized.
Clara, who saw that the body of the giant turned into golden powder and was blown away by the wind, landed on the ground and lightly tapped her waist with her hand.
“Oops. It’s hard to fight at this age.”
You will never feel such physical pain in Dream Land.
But Clara grumbled like someone who was really sick and moved on.
Since the children were below, I had to go down quickly and join them.
* * *
Deep in Dreamland.
There, towards Nirva, who was quietly closing her eyes, golden powder flew and seeped into her body.
Nirva’s eyes opened slowly, and the golden light contained in them gently flowed out.
The corners of Nirva’s mouth twisted slightly.

“All of my people have been killed.”
It is a member of the family sent to eliminate risk factors.
They were members of his own family whom he created by endowing them with the characteristics of dreams through the power bestowed by the Goddess himself.
Except for the Goddess and herself in this Dreamland, no one would have dared to harm her family.
Those who did, all died and returned to Nirva.
It was the so-called eternal sleep.
“Dreams can only be dreamed again. I just need to recreate my family.”
That is the story of when the power of the goddess was intact.
Now that the Goddess was still asleep, there was no way to wake up the people who had fallen asleep.
I wouldn’t have been so surprised if only one of the five family members had been killed.
But all five are down.
At this point, I was more surprised and interested than irritated and angry.
It was said that there were at least four other people with the mentality enough to kill their own people, except for that person named Ludgar Celish.
maybe even more
Since he had come this far, there was only one path that had been set for Nirva.
just be quiet
and modestly.
It was just waiting for guests to arrive here.
“It wouldn’t be right if I greeted you directly from the start.”
The moment I was mumbling like that.
Suddenly, he remembered that Zero Order had come looking for him.
There was no way that cunning bastard would have appeared in front of him for nothing.
I said that because I had enough confidence, and it has been proven as a fact.
“Is this the blade you prepared to get rid of me? What a pity. What a pity.”
Originally, they didn’t get along, but even so, Lumensis Thadora had the same purpose as an apostle, and it didn’t go as far as killing them.
But the Zero Order obviously wanted Nirva’s death.
“I never thought the ghosts still possessed by the past could have grown so viciously.”
okay.
If you go that far, I will have to accept this match.
This must also be an ordeal of fate given to me to make the Goddess fully open her eyes.
“I will accept everything.”
And I will endure.
All the filth, bitterness, sorrow, melancholy, anger, hatred, and death in the world.
Everything will vanish in front of a dream.
You will suffer as much as you like, and you will give up your body.
So if only I could go to a new paradise.
“It is soon. As long as the goddess opens her eyes, everything will be over.”
There is only one mission given to Nirva now.
It was to buy time for the goddess to wake up against the soon-to-be guests.

“Hey, are you okay now?”
Hans continued to glance back without stopping.
One experience of changing the world based on one’s memories and wishes was enough.
But as long as I stayed here, I never knew when something similar would suddenly happen.
Hans couldn’t help but be afraid.
“till now. There are no other signs. We’ll have to wait and see if it happens regularly or not.”
“… … I don’t want to be here any longer.”
“The Sea of Sympathy.”
Realize your desired fantasy right in front of your eyes?
In a way, this place was like a utopia for everyone.
For those who want money, gold and silver treasures piled up like a mountain.
A splendid palace and a throne for those who seek honor.
The most attractive opposite s*x for those who want love.
You don’t have to work hard to get something.
just.
If you wish for it, it will come true.
What a comfortable place this is.
“It’s a good place to die.”
As I continued to walk, the scenery changed little by little.
The translucent ground, like the surface of the water, was trampled by grass that made a rustling sound.
Looking down at the ground, I saw a wide expanse of dry grass that had faded to black.
The surroundings were still white, but I couldn’t erase the feeling that the color had faded from before.
A gray haze seemed to rise around them.
As I walked along the path, a black figure appeared through the fog.
“What the hell is that?”
“Ugh. Something is wrong.”
These were the words Sedina and Sheridan uttered after seeing the black figure.
Hans didn’t say much, but he seemed to agree with the two of them.
The black shape I’m looking at right now, it looks like an old, immature tree twisted… … Something resembled a person.
A wooden statue in the form of a person who is bending down and earnestly praying for something.
Like a starving person, he is very thin and his skin is full of wrinkles.
His head was all bald, and his eye sockets were hollow, giving him the appearance of a skeleton.
Even the number of wooden statues that can be seen right away is in the hundreds.
The wooden statues spread out as if forming a forest beyond the mist that had subtly faded.
Everyone swallowed their saliva at the bizarre sight that could not be described in words.
Only Ludger narrowed his eyes and observed the wooden statue up close.
“Joe, watch out! It might move suddenly!”
At Sedina’s warning, Ludger shook his head.
“no. won’t move Everyone here is in a deep sleep.”
“I’m in a deep sleep… … . Rather, is this a person?”
“okay. This is the end of those who have fallen into this world.”
Ludger looked down at the wooden statue in front of him with a dry gaze.
I couldn’t tell because it was so quiet, but if I listened closely, I could tell that something like a mosquito was coming out of the wooden statue’s open mouth.
They were praying now.
I hope that the dream you wish for will continue without stopping.
“It’s so sweet that what you want comes true. However, at some point, delusion arises in people’s hearts.”
Rudger took another step.
The rest of the party followed slowly.
“Will this happy moment last forever? Just like waking up suddenly one day, wouldn’t this hope disappear as if it were washed in water?”
The more you immerse yourself in your dreams, the more you immerse yourself.
They sink so deeply that they can no longer get out.
The moment you realize it, it’s already too late.
The body that had already been submerged in the depths could not come back up to its original place no matter how much it struggled.
In the end, there was only one way to choose.
I’m just praying that the rest of the day won’t end.
“Because it was so sweet, the anxiety of losing it must be great. Like a person addicted to drugs, they are swayed by anxiety and completely wreck their minds.”
This was the end of those who were so broken and collapsed.
Hans swallowed.
If Rudger hadn’t saved him at that time, the thought that a wooden statue would have been added in this place made me shudder.
“It’s really bad taste.”
Just like the Chorongmaw that exists in the depths of the deep sea.
After luring its prey with light, it plunges it into the mouth of the endless abyss.
The middle of the middle class was such a place.
A world inhabited by dream ghosts.
“Am I really okay? If he’s still alive, he might suddenly attack.”
“They have neither the strength nor the will to do so. These guys are daunting just to protect a single ball of sand in their hands.”
The sand flows through the cracks of their fingers in real time, but they are foolish people who know it but can’t let it go.
But Rudger didn’t bother blaming them.
Indeed, who among humans can keep their spirit intact in this world?
It was best not to come, but it was self-evident that ninety-nine times out of a hundred would be like this if he did.
“let’s go. There is nothing we can do.”
Rudger walked among them without even looking at them.
It was to the point of embarrassment to the point where I wondered if the party could be like this at that confident step.
how long did it take
Before I knew it, the procession of wooden statues came to an end.
A gray mist over the sword-discolored grass.
Beyond that, a huge silhouette began to catch my eye.
It was a huge gate that towered like a mountain into the sky.
The large door with countless carvings resembled the one Ludger entered through the Order Synod earlier.
Perhaps that door was created based on that.
“Is this the lower part of the middle layer?”
If you go a little further through that door, the depths of Dreamland exist.
It was a place I would never have been able to go to normally, but I was able to come this far because of Nirva’s current situation.
‘However, from here on out, I don’t know.’
What Julia warned was the middle of the middle layer.
It was because she only heard the story up to the middle part, and didn’t know more than that.
In other words, from here on out, it is said that it is completely unknown territory.
Feeling that, everyone stood still, frozen in their seats, as if the other party felt the same.
They stared at Rudger in silence.
What are you going to do? Are you going, or are you staying here?
Ludger, receiving such a gaze, closed his eyes for a moment.
how many minutes have passed
Rudger opened his closed eyes and said.
“It doesn’t stop.”
I couldn’t delay since I came this far anyway.
The goddess he had seen in Clara’s world that day kept getting caught.
The moment it woke up, it seemed like something truly irreversible would happen.
Rudger decided to trust his intuition.
It was the moment to take that step.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
The group looked back in surprise.
“Wizard Zantmann?”
Ludger opened his eyes wide when he recognized the old man he had met at the School of Dreams.
