The moment he saw that sight, the air surrounding Sookmyung became sharp.
The air was vibrating with anger.
An unbearable anger welled up in him at the fact that the vessel he had treasured had been destroyed.
A vessel is established only when both a soul and a body exist, but Seo Kang-rim’s soul has crossed the boundary.
What lies ahead is nothing more than a shell.
I’ve been waiting a long time to get that bowl ready, and now you’re doing this.
I was so angry that I thought my head would explode, but I had to make a choice.
Since it had come to this, they had to leave behind a body.
If I could make a replica of that fatigue, I could:
That’s what I was thinking.
-Whoaaah!
The blade that struck my shoulder was hot.
I could hear my collarbone cracking and splitting.
The Youngsal Sword was gnawing away at the body of the fated one like a living beast.
The sound of water splashing up was loud.
It was the sound of fate taking a step back.
She tried to stop Seo Kang-rim by drawing on all her divine power, but all her attacks were missing.
It was a battle where it seemed as if Seo Kang-rim knew the future and controlled it.
All predictions have become old relics.
I couldn’t keep up with Seo Kang-rim’s speed, which had crossed the boundary.
That machine-like appearance, with everything castrated and only the will to kill remaining.
‘Why is it like this… …!’
Sukmyeong gasped for breath soaked in blood, and suddenly remembered the dream he had sent to the Bihomun group.
A dream where Seo Kang-rim crosses the border and annihilates Bihomun’s group.
As Seo Hwa-gyeong predicted, it was not a prophetic dream, but a scheme to cause conflict between them.
The dream was just a manipulated illusion, why?
Why is Seo Kang-rim pushing himself like it’s a dream he created?
Everything must go your way!
Sukmyeong shouted through gritted teeth that were shining with blood.
“You cannot escape from this fate! No human being can escape from this fate… …!”
-Crack!
Half of the fateful face was reflected in the sword.
The sword pierced the center of his forehead.
A sound similar to the roar of the Youngsal Sword was heard.
-Dismissal, dismissal… … .
The cracks spread, causing tears to form in the body of the fated one.
Even Soompi himself couldn’t believe that fact.
He who had ruled over humans for thousands of years, was destroyed by a mere insect.
I wanted to struggle ugly, but my body wouldn’t move anymore.
My whole body was cracking and eternity was crumbling.
She opened her mouth with the last of her might.
“Cool, well then, you… … .”
-Whoa!
Seo Kang-rim didn’t even give him a chance to leave a will.
As soon as the sword cut a diagonal line, the remains of the fateful being fell to the ground, torn in half.
The floor everywhere was simply red.
“… … .”
Even though Sookmyung had fallen, there was no joy on Seo Kangrim’s face.
Just looking down at the corpse with a blank face.
There was nothing alive around me now that I wanted to destroy.
-Kururung… … .
At that moment, Seo Kang-rim felt a vibration rising from beneath his feet.
As Sukmyeong died, the new realm was falling apart.
The floor cracked and Seo Kang-rim felt his body sinking downward.
Seo Kang-rim was falling as the heavy rain poured down, as if the water that had been stagnant in the shrine was pouring out.
A new landscape was reflected in Seo Kang-rim’s eyes.
A forest of buildings came into view.
The sunset was the color of blood over the city center, which was being destroyed everywhere.
Seo Kang-rim was blankly staring at the upside-down world.
[The ability ‘■?Rat’ is activated!]
His powers instinctively kicked in, and bat-like wings formed behind his back.
As the dealing with the demons was coming to an end, one of the hunters looked up at the sky in surprise.
“Hey, what is that?”
Something was seen falling between the rain and dark clouds.
That thing that appeared with black wings had an extremely ominous aura, even if it wasn’t just its appearance.
The cityscape was reflected in Seo Kang-rim’s eyes, but he was seeing something else.
There were a lot of living things here.

As many lives as there are lights illuminating the city center.
Living beings that breathe.
It seemed like stars were twinkling behind Seo Kang-rim.
[The ability ‘Yu■$’ is activated!]
-Quaqua light!
A huge meteor appeared in the sky and began to pour down toward the city center.
It might have seemed like a beautiful sight from a distance, but for those living in the city below, it was a death sentence.
Annabi also suddenly raised her head.
The Western Gate Lady and the messengers were all subdued.
I thought it was over, but I was wrong.
Rather than the end, you could say it is the beginning.
It came down to the city with the spider and gave off an extremely ominous aura.
I couldn’t tell if it was because of the cold or the fear, but I heard my teeth chatter.
Annabi shouted his name, trying to suppress her ominousness.
“Seo Kang-rim Hunter… … ?”
The shell looked back at Annabi as if it had recognized her name.
There was neither pain nor joy in his empty face.
The moment Seo Kang-rim met Annabi’s eyes, his figure disappeared as if he had evaporated.
-Kwaaang!
As soon as Seo Kang-rim disappeared, an explosion occurred.
The pressure was so high that raindrops falling from the sky evaporated in an instant.
Annabi tried to block the attack flying towards her, but was hit and sent flying away.
“Ohhhh!”
The touhous who saw that sight screamed and ran towards Seo Kang-rim.
The sight of him giving his whole body to protect his master was admirable, but the result was disastrous.
The bodies of the toads were instantly shattered and turned into clumps of dirt.
Just as he was about to destroy the last toe and pierce Annabi’s neck, a shrill voice rang out.
“Those beyond the border, listen to the voice of the living!”
Lee Hyun’s voice invaded my eardrums as if it were tearing them apart.
That was the trigger sentence for the unread.
As soon as he heard that sentence, Seo Kang-rim’s body collapsed as if he had been stabbed by a giant spear.
* * *
The wall was right in front of my eyes.
When I came to my senses, I found myself trapped in a small space.
It was just a moment ago that I had held the man’s hand, but he was no longer visible.
I tried to twist my body, but there was no room to move.
I struggled and pushed hard against the wall in front of me.
Fortunately, it was pushed aside without much force.
When I got out of the place I was trapped in and looked back, I saw that the place I was trapped in was a coffin, and the coffin was placed in a long, narrow passageway.
Is this beyond the border?
A vain landscape unfolded before us, with neither destiny nor divine powers having disappeared.
I’ve often imagined what it would be like beyond the border.
I thought it would be a hellish landscape like the usual illusions, but it was a much more bland place than I thought.
Unattended communication… of course didn’t work.
All of the communication items I had were dead.
I stood there blankly for a while and then started walking around aimlessly.
Looking up, the wall stretched endlessly to the sky.
What on earth is this place?
A few demons appeared and blocked my path, but they soon fell down, reduced to pieces of flesh.
After walking for a while, I came to a fork in the road and went left.
I tried to walk silently and look around, but I didn’t see anything special.
There is just a road, a fork in the road.
When I took the right path at the third fork and continued forward, a huge wall blocked my path.
And on that wall there was someone’s trace.
A picture that looks like it was drawn with blood, dried up black.
Drawn with mad hand movements, it looked like a complex pattern at first, but soon its true nature became apparent.
This was a map.
A map that fills one entire side of a huge wall and never ends.
A map of the maze marked with tens of thousands of paths.
The endless maze was even more tangled and wicked than a child’s mess of thread.
I could tell this was a map of the place the moment I saw it.
The floor was covered with what looked like notes written in blood.
It would have taken years to fill this one page.
The sentences written in the first part were filled with despair and fear, but they were understandable.
There’s no end to it, I’ve been stuck here for decades, like that.
But the further back you go, the more muddled language remains.
When I saw it, I could instinctively realize it.
I was trapped in a maze, and I was forced to live here forever.
A terrible emptiness echoed above my head.
I sat down with my back against the wall.
I was trapped in a labyrinth from which I could never escape.
In some ways it was a place worse than hell, but I have no regrets.
There was just one worry.
Has my body defeated fate?
I’ve often seen people who have crossed boundaries, and they all have one thing in common.
They are driven only by desire and violence.
A shell with its mind cut off, seeking only destruction.
As I crossed the boundary, my shell would have gained transcendent powers, and in the new realm there was only fate.
There is only one goal.
My shell would not have stopped until it had defeated Fate, and would have killed Fate.
Because Sookmyung was also seriously injured.
My concern was something else.
After killing my fate, will my shell still be alive?
It would be nice if they were to perish together, but if they leave the divine realm and return to the present world, the problem becomes serious.
It was obvious what my shell would do.
Did Lee Hyeon do a good job?
If the undoing had been triggered normally, it would have ended quickly.
Since I couldn’t know what was going on outside, I could only tremble in anxiety.
I buried my face in my arms.
Another anxiety arose between the anxiety.
As I fought against fate, facts I had forced myself to forget crawled up into my head like bugs.
The fact that the Bihomun group was my destiny was painfully etched into me.
The reason they cared for me and protected me was because fate had manipulated me.
Everything that lived for me and everything that died for me was fake.
All those dreamy times were just a play.
Now that fate has been abolished, they too can be freed from its bonds.
What will I feel when I come to my senses?
Would he regret the days he sacrificed for the likes of little bugs?
I felt sad about that fact, but I felt more relief than anything else.
If they come to their senses, if they lose interest in me… … .
Even if I die, I won’t be sad.
No one will miss me.
No one will come looking for me.
They will now live their own lives fully.
It was a painful yet comforting truth.
Everything was finished perfectly.
No, it’s not perfect.
If I were to disappear, I would like it if I could just disappear like this.
I was now forced to live forever alone.
There is no hope left of escaping the labyrinth.
At that time, with my eyes closed in the emptiness, I surrendered myself to all this emptiness.
[…] … … … … … … … .]
Something was heard.
I raised my head and looked around.
While all I could see was a wall, notification windows began to pop up in front of me, accompanied by noise.
[… … This … … … … is.]
This space is a thoroughly isolated world.
There is no way a message could reach this place, which is like the edge of the universe.
But as if to contradict such thoughts, the message began to take shape.
[Your … … is … … looking for.]
Who is looking for me?
How could you come all the way here to talk to me?
There is no way your voice can reach this place, which is more distant than a star hundreds of light years away.
Still, a message arrived in front of me, overcoming that distance.
[Your god, ‘The Green Tears of Despair’ is looking for you.]
