Episode 182
‘1 year.’
It took over a year to climb to the 40th floor, going through the stories where everything was changed due to the change in the constellation.
Less than 4 years have passed since then.
The difficulty will increase further, and the biggest problem will be the 50th floor, so time is still tight.
“let’s go. “I don’t have time.”
After saying that, I opened Nia’s room without knocking.
There was no light on in the room, and the room was filled with only the starlight shining through the window.
She was standing by the window, and when the Sword King came in, she looked at the window for a moment, then turned her head and made eye contact with me.
At that moment, I felt a strange sensation.
When I tilted my head, Nia smiled like always and ran to me and hugged me.
Nia was no different from usual.
“I worked really hard today.”
“I kept watching.”
After saying that, Nia took a few steps away before I patted her head.
Nia held two diplomas in her hands.
She looked back and forth between me and the Sword King, smiled, and held out a diploma in each hand.
“take it. “Both of them.”
The moment you receive this, this floor is over.
The Sword King looked at me for a moment.
Perhaps because I didn’t react much, she said thank you to Nia and took the diploma.
At that moment, the area beneath the Sword King’s feet began to turn faint.
That means the diploma is real.
But unlike the Sword King, I was quietly looking at Nia.
“… … “River Castle.”
The moment the Sword King quietly recited, she opened her diploma.
The king’s seal was clearly stamped on it.
Next, I raised my hand and opened my diploma.
And unlike the Sword King, I did not have the king’s seal on me.
When more than half of the Sword King’s body disappeared, her worried eyes were seen.
“Nia.”
When I called out to Nia, she turned her back to me and walked forward.
The shining starlight of the night sky came through the window and caressed Nia.
“I only wanted one thing.”
“okay.”
“But I think that’s a really difficult thing to do.”
Nia let out a self-deprecating laugh.
I slowly lowered the diploma I was holding.
I knew it from the moment I came in.
The Sword King didn’t seem to notice, but I saw a haze rising from Nia’s side.
Ink-like darkness continued to flow.
“I chose my greed.”
I had seen that pitch-black haze some time ago.
It was the same as Norrog, the Demon Lord of the Mirror World and the Demon Lord of Desire.
“If nature dictates that you have to have a diploma to leave, I won’t give it to you.”
Nia said that and looked back at me.
Tears began to drip from the corners of her eyes.
“I can’t let you go. “Cheonseong.”
“Nia.”
“Don’t call my name.”
It seems as if he has absorbed the devil of desire and has become honest about his desires.
Nia flailed as if she didn’t want to hear my voice.
“Are you stupid by nature? Why did you give me a choice? “If you were going to leave anyway, why did you give me the choice?”
Nia’s crying voice echoed throughout the room.
Her pouting face, like that of a wounded child, seemed to be irreversible now.
“If it is a diploma that only a king can give, I will not give it to you even if it means destroying the Stella Kingdom.”
As if the Demon King of Desire was giving up his power, the haze flowing from Nia began to encroach on the surroundings.
Looking at the distorted space, I let out a small sigh.
“Hell gave it to me.”
Nia didn’t answer.
The power that Nia possesses now far exceeds that of Norrog.
That power was the power of the constellation.
I could tell at a glance.
That Hell guy used some trick.
“Nia.”
“I told you not to call me by my name.”
Nia of My Call immediately stretched out her hand forward.
At that moment, a star shined brightly in response to her call.

【’Dan Ha’s Cow’ is trying to erase the world.】
【’The owner of the 39th floor’ ‘The sound of cicadas on a summer day’ makes a loud noise as if surprised.】
When the residents of the floor became incomplete constellations, the constellations on the 39th floor showed a perplexed reaction.
‘Hell, you bastard.’
Now, in my eyes, I could see the fragments of the constellation planted there, along with Norrog’s aura mixed with Nia’s.
To be exact, a fragment of a dead constellation.
I don’t know where he got something like that, but the abyss used necromancer magic to revive the dead constellation.
And before that deterrent could be tied down, it was planted on Norrog, who could become a quasi-constellation.
Why did he do this?
It’s obvious.
‘Give me a crisis and see how I clear the story.’
This guy was doing something like a constellation.
The screwed-up guy who climbed the floors for fun was an idiot who did whatever he wanted for his own enjoyment or if it would make the constellation broadcast successful.
It must have been his work that broke the seal on the demon lords.
‘Now I really have to kill him.’
I gritted my teeth and looked at Nia, who had been used in the abyss of hell.
The emotions that could not be combusted became firewood and continued to burn in Nia.
Hell will be fully aware of this.
Even if I do something like this, Nia has no way of defeating me.
I approached Nia without calling her.
Nia’s shoulders shrank.
Still, he didn’t stop what he was doing.
“Why did you lie?”
I didn’t answer.
“I told you so many times. “I have only you by my nature.”
I didn’t answer again.
“Can’t you hear that one thing? “If this was going to happen, I shouldn’t have lied and said I liked it.”
I didn’t answer again.
“Don’t try to apologize. “If you apologize, it all becomes real.”
“I’m not good at persuasion.”
When I opened my mouth again, Nia looked up at me with a face that seemed like it was about to break.
“Because I’m not a person who can speak kindly enough to persuade someone. So I hid it. There’s no way to explain to you that I have to leave. “Because I do that wrong.”
“stop.”
“Nia, I’ve seen many people so far. I saw a lot of people and said goodbye to them. “I’ve been through more breakups than I can count now.”
Instead of being forgotten, that memory settled in a corner and looked at me.
“But even so, I couldn’t forget a thing. “I suddenly remember those breakups from somewhere.”
I wrapped my hand around the back of Nia’s head.
“Nia, you too. “Somewhere, one day, you will suddenly come to mind.”
And I quietly hugged Nia.
The little girl trembled slightly in my arms.
“You asked me last time if there was anything you wanted.”
I smiled.
“What I hope is that our relationship with you will be a happy ending for both of us. So I lied. If I disappear from this world, I will also disappear from your memories. “You will forget me, but I will remember you.”
The story of the floor remains somewhere in the mind and haunts the participant.
However, that suffering arises because the end of the story with them is precious.
Nia, who became a constellation even if it was an imperfect constellation, would have seen what kind of world this world is.
A world that will return to its original state if I, the participant, disappear.
And in that world, Nia is also a world where she forgets everything.
Nia was crying.
Like a child, like when I helped her master magic.
Nia rested her head on my chest and grabbed my collar.
However, I no longer felt the strength to hold me in that tight hand.
“… … late.”
At that moment, I heard Nia’s voice.
Nia’s eyes, resting her head on his chest, were filled with broken emotions.
“Cheonseong. “I already destroyed it before you came.”
I looked out the window as her voice chanted.
A star was shining intensely in the sky.
The star was getting closer to the earth.
“I was greedy.”
As I looked at the stars coming down from the sky, I untied the star map from my neck.
The star that Nia pulled to erase the world is the star of Nia, an imperfect constellation.
Even if it is an unfinished star, if that star collapses, Nia will also die.
On the other hand, if that star is left as is, it will erase the world.
“Because you’re greedy. I don’t know how to stop my greed. therefore.”
Nia was smiling with tears streaming down her face as she looked at the star that seemed to burn everything down.
That laugh looked so painful.
“You stop. Cheonseong-ah. “Just as you started, you will finish it too.”
Even stars in imperfect constellations have enough power to erase the world.
When a floor is damaged, it takes time to recover, so you don’t know how long it will take to get to the next floor.
I looked down at Nia and bit my lip once.
After all, I have no talent for persuasion.
I took Nia out of my arms and walked to the window.
When I opened the window, the heat from the falling stars warmed my face.
All I can do is break things.
Because the stats I created are more suitable for destroying someone than protecting them.
Even if it is a star in a constellation, the sword I wield will easily destroy that unstable guy.
“Hey, damn constellations.”
That’s why for the first time, I called the constellations first.
【’Atelier of Oman’ is listening.】
【The ‘Frosty Cat’ wags its tail.】
【’Lee Ma-mang-ryang’s heartache’ touches his chin with his 5th hand.】
【’Stone Monkey’ is fiddling with the golden orphan.】
【The ‘snake that surrounds the world’ wriggles for a moment.】
I raised the Star Celestial Sword while listening to the voices of the constellations listed.
“Pay the viewing fee.”
Blunt words.
But the moment he heard me, a giggling sound whispered into my ear.
The laugh seemed like a mockery, but it was also a laugh that seemed affectionate for some reason.
The starlight rose like a halo.
The light slowly began to encroach on Starcheon Island, and I quietly looked at the starlight.
Several hands passed by, touching the Star Heavenly Island.
Looking at those hands, I pulled the Byeolcheondo down to my waist.
“Look carefully. “I can pick a star for you.”
The moment I smiled playfully, Nia’s eyes lit up bitterly.
The starlight on Starcheon Island was shining much more powerfully than Nia’s star.
“The viewing fee is generous.”
With one short word, I kicked off the floor and flew into the sky.
When I reached the distant sky, I was faced with a star right in front of me.
If an ordinary person had come this far, everything would have burned down and disappeared, but I suffered no damage except for some of my clothes.
Instead, Yongcheonseong’s dragon robe was just draped over my shoulders instead of clothes.
I held the Byeolcheondo like a baseball bat.
I smiled at the stars as if I was about to hit a home run across the sky.
“go back. “This is not the place for you.”
With those words, I swung the star-filled sword with all my might.
To never come here again.
Kyaang!
The moment the swung Starcheondo collided with the star, the huge star bent once and instantly flew through the sky.
And soon, it became a star in the sky and began to shine again.
Performance is solid.
