Please defeat Fate even if it means dying yourself.
That was the regressor’s will.
It was a wish she had devoted thousands of lives to achieve, and it was also Seo Kang-rim’s wish.
[The ability ‘Sword Inspection’ is activated!]
A thousand winds began to sweep through the space as if they were blades.
Even in the midst of the storm, the director showed no sign of backing down.
Behind the mask, two eyes were shining blue.
-Oh my god!
Ice appeared everywhere, blocking Seo Kang-rim’s path.
The cold is so severe that it feels like your ears are going to pop out.
Seo Kang-rim thrust his blade into the nape of the iceberg, and pieces of ice scattered into the air like crumbling jewels.
In the meantime, a sharp pain passed across Seo Kang-rim’s cheek.
-Whoa!
Hot blood flowed down the blade as cold as frost.
Finally, wounds began to appear on Seo Kang-rim’s body.
But this level of cold and pain could not cause any harm.
How many people have already suffered the fate of freezing to death in the frozen mountains?
I also experienced the fate of being tortured and having my whole body slashed dozens of times.
This wasn’t enough to scare Seo Kang-rim in the least.
-Kagakak!
Seo Kang-rim parried the director’s sword as if he knew all fears.
As the swordsmanship was activated, his swordsmanship had already reached the realm of the gods.
As numerous scars were carved into the director’s body, fate gave him even more strength.
[20% of ‘Unchanging Eternity’ has been strengthened!]
There wasn’t much difference in the director’s appearance, and although I couldn’t see his expression because of the mask, I could tell for sure.
His body was screaming.
Although the body seemed to be making a metallic noise like an overheated machine, the doll that carried out the divine command seemed to have no intention of stopping.
As the director raised his sword, a sharp light flashed in the air.
-Quaquaquaqua!
Huge, spike-like ice chunks crashed down toward Seo Kang-rim.
He dashed forward, destroying the icebergs while quickly moving out of their attack range.
But at that moment, an attack came from an unexpected direction.
-Phew!
A shard of ice went deep into his thigh.
That pain made me reflexively recall the first time I encountered Baekyoung.
This bridge was attacked at that time too.
-Chae-ae-aeng!
Taking advantage of the gap in hesitation, the director’s sword flew towards Seo Kang-rim’s shoulder.
Seo Kang-rim quickly parried the attack, but when the swords clashed, the shock seemed to be transmitted through his bones and muscles.
The director’s sword grew heavier and faster, but it didn’t matter.
If you just cut them all down, that’s it.
[The ability ‘Absolute Sword’ is activated!]
-Crack!
The sword the director was holding was cut off by nearly a third.
In human terms, it was something that reached right up to the bone.
It seemed as if it would be torn in half if he swung it just one more time, but the director showed no sign of being shaken.
[30% of ‘Unchanging Eternity’ has been strengthened!]
-Whoaaah!
As the rate of increase increased, blood began to drip from the director’s sword.
The situation was gradually turning upside down.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Seo Kang-rim felt a sense of discomfort.
The director’s movements were strange.
He swung his sword several times, aiming for Seo Kang-rim’s weak point, but each time, his legs would stop as if they were malfunctioning.
At that moment, two swords clashed.
-Kwaaang!
As the pressure of the sword swept over them from all sides, thread-like wounds were carved into their faces, and cracks began to appear on the director’s mask.
The mask broke apart with the wind, revealing the face that had been hidden.
When he saw that, Seo Kang-rim’s pulse started to beat wildly.
He saw his own face behind the mask.
The hair had turned white, but it was clearly his face.
It was speaking with its gaze.
To kill.
Kill yourself quickly.
Seo Kang-rim could tell just by looking at those desperate eyes.
Now, the director and Baek Young were rejecting fate.
They are rebelling with their whole body, rejecting God’s revelation.
It had no memories when it was first born.

It was just an instinctive hatred imprinted in his blood, a murderous will to kill that drove his body.
If the regressor’s will were expressed through eyes, it would be like this.
Seo Kang-rim recalled what Baek Young had said the day he first met her.
You also have a strange fate.
As he said, both Baek Young’s fate and his own fate were extremely strange.
Can we end this twisted fate, this karma, that has been given to us?
Seo Kang-rim’s reply was engraved with a sword.
-Crack!
A sword was thrust into the heart of a person who had only been born a few days ago, but who had lived for hundreds of years.
Blood began to flow from the director’s mouth and chest.
Even though he wasn’t human, his blood was red.
“… … .”
The director did not say anything until the moment he died.
Just sending a glance.
As Seo Kang-rim pulled out his sword, blood gushed out like a fountain from the director’s chest.
“Director… … !”
When Seomun Yongnyeo saw that, she screamed without realizing it.
The director died, this couldn’t happen.
Now that it had come to this, there was only one option left.
She gritted her teeth and shouted at the messengers.
“Secure Seo Kang-rim! Now!”
I couldn’t miss this moment when Seo Kang-rim was injured, even if it was just a little bit.
As the messengers following her rushed towards Seo Kang-rim, tentacles shot out from the ground and strangled them.
While the messengers were making a noise, a presence was felt behind Seomun Yongnyeo.
-Kaga River!
A sharp sword flew towards the back of the West Gate Yongnyeo.
She dodged hastily and stared at the face that had attacked her.
Dokgo Jun, covered in blood, was emitting a strange madness.
“Hey, isn’t it polite to give them a moment to catch their breath before a boss fight?”
He looked extremely excited and his breathing was ragged.
Despite having wounds all over his body.
Dokgo Jun said with a face that said he was so happy he thought he would go crazy.
“Hey, why don’t you play with me? Won’t you carve that lightning flower for me too? It’ll be thrilling!”
Seomun Yongnyeo tried to approach the director and Seo Kangrim, but Dokgo Jun had no intention of letting her go.
The remaining team leaders were also being dealt with by the secret agents and the messengers.
While their ankles were tied, Seo Kang-rim sat on the floor, catching his breath.
‘The director is now unconscious and dying, which must have dealt a blow to Sookmyung as well.’
If I missed this opportunity, I might not be able to recover in the meantime, so I had to head to the new mission quickly.
However, Seo Kang-rim’s condition was also not good.
It was a problem of the mind, not the body.
It felt like my brain, my head, my soul were corroding away.
The sky was clear and bright, which was unusual for such a tragic day, but it looked different in Seo Kang-rim’s eyes.
A sky as dark as the setting sun melting away, the stench of iron wafting from all directions, and a cityscape filled with corpses.
“Mr. Kangrim!”
At that time, Shin Soo-ah urgently supported Seo Kang-rim.
Even in this crumbling world, the fragrance still remained.
I was barely able to keep my wits about me thanks to Shin Soo Ah, but if I go to Shinyeok like this, will I be able to endure it?
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah, I have a favor to ask.”
“Yes, tell me anything… … !”
Seo Kang-rim lowered his head weakly and whispered something in her ear.
Shin Soo Ah’s eyes became surprised as her thin breath reached her along with the voice.
“Is that okay? There’s a better way… … .”
“That’s the best we can do for now. Then, I’ll ask for the Protectorate and the Demonic Realm. And… … .”
Seo Kang-rim hesitated about something and then smiled weakly.
There was a strange peace on his face, soaked in ash and blood.
“Thank you. In my past life, and in this life. Always.”
“Huh? What is that… … .”
Before Shin Soo-ah could ask why, Seo Kang-rim disappeared.
He had left for a new mission.
Shin Soo-ah felt an inexplicable ominous feeling.
The face that said thank you looked so peaceful that it actually made me feel uneasy.
Why on earth?
At that moment, when Shin Soo-ah was feeling an inexplicable fear, the figure of the collapsed director came into view.
That face, which was exactly like Seo Kang-rim’s, looked somehow peaceful.
Just a moment ago, the smiling face of Seo Kang-rim overlapped with that of the dead director.
* * *
A cold wind blew on my face.
The floor beneath my feet was made of white marble, but there was a shallow pool of water, so every step I took made small ripples.
The shape of the temple was reflected on the floor.
The temple before my eyes was very old and shining an extremely white light.
Seo Kang-rim stood in the world of gods.
It was a place I had seen in my anonymous memories.
As I walked through the white and transparent passage, I saw a familiar face at the end.
A white figure stood among the white scenery.
The woman, wrapped in pure white silk that seemed to have been woven from snow, had a sacred, threatening, and at the same time arrogant smile that was hard to believe was human.
She spoke to Seo Kang-rim.
“So we finally made it this far.”
A voice that turns your stomach just by listening to it.
It was the voice that whispered at his bedside all night long as he fell asleep.
If you were to sharpen all the swords in the world and make a statue, would you be able to imitate it?
Could I carve all the corpses and deaths in the world to create that voice?
What lay before me was the unchanging eternity, destiny.
The being that has ruled one’s entire life.
I wanted to kill Destiny right away, but if Destiny were to disappear like this, there would be questions I would never know the answer to.
“Before I kill you, I have something to ask you.”
The figures of two people were reflected in the calm water.
Sukmyeong waited for Seo Kangrim’s question with a leisurely gaze.
Drops of blood that had not yet hardened fell down the blade of the sword.
“Were you the god who came to me when I was young?”
“okay.”
“Were you the one who killed my parents and caused accidents and deaths everywhere I went?”
“okay.”
“Why me?”
I’ve wanted to ask this since I was a child.
Why did it have to be me?
Why was such a cruel fate bestowed upon me?
Sukmyeong laughed at that question.
“Have you ever seen humans make brass vessels?”
It was a word that did not fit the situation, a voice that did not fit.
The voice of fate was simply gentle.
She continued speaking as if she were a storyteller telling an old tale.
“First, the brass had to be melted. The fire was so strong that it would not even leave bones behind, and the metal was then hammered countless times to give it the shape of a vessel.”
The flowing blood spread out into the clear water.
The voice of fate was beautiful, but it seemed to vibrate with a foul odor.
The smile of fate was reflected on the water.
“I felt like it was like creating a whole new world.”
Seo Kang-rim recalled the time when he suffered from a high fever as a child.
The heat that seemed to melt his body and the voice that pounded his head as if it were going to break.
As if making a bowl.
“I have sought to find a vessel that is worthy of me. In the past, I sought after kings and nobles, but after history changed, I sought after those born with a strong destiny.”
Seo Kang-rim thought of the experimental subjects being created at the laboratory.
Those who are blessed with a destiny, born on an auspicious day and with excellent blood.
But Seo Kang-rim knew very well what kind of end they had met.
“But all the vessels did not last long and were destroyed. Unable to overcome the pain, they eventually died. After destroying countless vessels, I was able to realize one thing.”
Sookmyung said with a smile.
“I wonder if it is not the most noble, but the most miserable, who can endure the pain of fate.”
