Episode 535
I slowly got up from my seat. My head felt a little clearer. I said to the teacher.
“I’ll be back soon.”
[Where?]
“I need to think about it. In a quiet place.”
He didn’t bother to stop me, since it was obvious that I had been thinking about it just a moment ago. I left the Rose Annex like that. Ron, who was outside the door, smiled and spoke to me.
“I buried it next to my mouth.”
“what?”
“The steak sauce looks like a lip print.”
I tapped Ron on the shoulder, who smiled meaningfully.
“Take good care of our teacher.”
Ron didn’t ask too much or anything. He just thought that whatever I did, there had to be a reason. He trusted me.
“Take care. Oh, and.”
“and?”
“Elizabeth is waiting at the entrance over there.”
* * *
I was planning to walk without a destination, but my sister said she was in front of the entrance. So I just went there.
As soon as I got there, my older sister asked me.
“Be honest. It’s not over, is it?”
“what.”
“What could it be?”
Is this what family is like? Or is it just that my older sister is quicker on her feet than I thought?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“… …Is this really going to happen?”
It didn’t fit the situation, but I ended up laughing. Haa.
“Sister.”
“Oh, tell me.”
“Do you have a lot of tea?”
“… … Oh, a lot.”
I couldn’t fool my teacher, and I couldn’t fool my sister either. My expression must have been a total mess.
I ended up covering my face with my hands.
“It’s my first time.”
“what?”
“This is the first time I’ve been blocked like this.”
“… … .”
“Even when I fought Iskandar and the Half-Bloods in my previous life, it wasn’t like this.”

“… … .”
“At least back then, there were a lot of gaps. If you fight like you’re going to die and I’m going to die, eventually, there’s a gap. I’ve always been prepared and I’ve never missed that gap. But this time, it’s a little different.”
“What’s different?”
“I can’t see it.”
“… … A gap?”
“To be exact, the distance between me and Ragnarok.”
My older sister must have heard the name Ragnarok for the first time. But she nodded as if she had already heard it, as if she knew everything. She didn’t interrupt the flow of the story so I could talk. It was basic consideration, and it was my older sister’s specialty.
My sister asked.
“How about mobilizing the military again?”
“It’s meaningless.”
“why?”
“They are more than ten times more numerous than the Chimeras we fought at the Port of Rotterdam. Their level is at least one level stronger.”
My sister’s eyes widen. Then her mouth slowly opens. She’s just too embarrassed. She probably didn’t know it would be this bad.
Well, I guess I said that for nothing.
That thought was fleeting. I should say everything I’ve already said.
“Why would I be alone like this?”
“… … .”
“No matter what force joins, it’s meaningless. Not only the dragon, but also the warriors of the Taoist temple. Of course, it goes without saying that my sister is the same, and the same goes for my master.”
“… … Is that all?”
“uh.”
“… … Even if Valentine joins, it would be meaningless?”
I nodded once more.
The Master is incredibly strong, needless to say. He is at the edge of natural realm. He possesses powers similar to those of Sword Master or Heavenly Horse.
The problem is that’s all there is to it.
I haven’t told you this out loud, but if I use my full power right now, I can kill someone as strong as you in exactly 3 seconds.
It’s the same even if Cheonma or Geomjon is right in front of you.
3 seconds. Honestly, you don’t even need 3 seconds.
The Master knows that too. That’s why he didn’t say anything.
I have already surpassed my master. I am not talking about a match where the difference is just a single point in the same realm. I have literally surpassed him. It is more than a blue chip.
However, Ragnarok is at least one level above me.
The Master can’t even last 0.5 seconds against Ragnarok, let alone 1 second.

You will die the moment you leave. Is that all? Right now, Master’s body is a mess. It means that maintaining a human body is the best. You can’t do anything in that state. Using the soul energy? It would be possible. You could probably use it for about 10 seconds.
And then I die.
The Master has already exerted a lot of effort in the war against the Chimeras. Thanks to that, the casualties were only ‘that much’.
A teacher like that should stay out of this war. There’s no point in getting involved.

The only one who can stop it is me.
“So, what do you think?”
“what?”
“You heard. The war isn’t over yet.”
My older sister had a pretty surprising reaction. She laughed.
And he said this.
“doesn’t care.”
“……huh?”
“It’s you. The first emperor of the Milos Empire and the pinnacle of the current world.”
Ogle oggle.
“You gave answers to my life and to the lives of people like Sel and Charlotte, even though there were no answers in sight. Someone like you will find the answer somehow.”
My sister laughed. She laughed and hugged me lightly.
“If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll help you in any way I can.”
Actually, I don’t need anything. I’m just curious about something.
“How far did you go with Aveiro? Did you get to bed?”
My sister didn’t answer.
He shuts his mouth tightly and turns away, pretending not to know.
I ended up laughing.
I turned around just like that.
After that, I did two things. First, I accepted the energy of nature into my body.
To speed up the body’s recovery.
Another thing is to think.
I ran a simulation in my head.
I kept replaying the fight against Ragnarok.
Was his finger snapping a technical procedure or just a stage tool?
I thought and thought again. I moved my body in the virtual world. I aimed my sword at Ragnarok. Dozens of weapons rose into the sky and I fought Ragnarok with them.
1st loss with a limb cut off. 2nd loss with a head blown off. 3rd loss with a head exploding. 4th loss with a limb cut off once more.
So 5, 6, 7, 8.
My mind became more complicated and the energy of nature continued to be absorbed into my body. I walked and walked. I don’t know how far I came. I just walked.
I leaped through space again and again. It was an unconscious action.
The unconscious was making it so.
I kept fighting in my head.
I fought 300 times and lost 300 times.
I fought a thousand times and lost a thousand times.
The unconscious moves the body. It transcends humanity. Through meditation, I advance one step at a time to the realm of the magic nerve.
Advertisements
I fought like that ten thousand times.
They became accustomed to the terrain and solidified their established methods.
The sword’s trajectory became clearer and clearer, and his entire body was filled with spirit energy.
It became a body that could no longer be called human. It was so natural.
It was the fourth day since landing on the Western Continent, and the sun was setting.
I opened my eyes slowly.
I went from beginner to intermediate level in Magical Mind.
* * *
It feels late. It feels burdensome.
What kind of being am I?
He has already surpassed the level of a criminal.
It has become a being that is difficult to place on the same level as ordinary humans, let alone just as a similar being.
Transcendent beings refer to beings that transcend species.
I have now reached a higher level.
To be honest, I don’t really have that much attachment to the Western Continent.
The reason I wanted to protect the Western Continent was because my people were there.
The Master was in the West Continent, my sister was in the West Continent, and Aveiro, Cell, and Charlotte were in the West Continent, so I tried to protect the West Continent. The other people? I don’t care.
It was a shame to be exploited and the world was going so wrong that I gave it a little bit of a try.
I created the world that the Master wanted. The exploited people were just accessories. They were just caught up in what I was trying to do. They were not the goal. My goal was the Master.
That’s the difference. That was it.
That’s what I thought, until recently.
My mind is getting complicated.
Can you really say that so specifically?
They say it will destroy the world.
Damn it, there is no reason to destroy my person.
For his own amusement, he says that he destroys everything because it’s more fun, but what’s even funnier is that the guy who says that is able to do it.
What an absurd fact this is.
The disgusting little bastard is using the world as his toy.
I feel a sense of responsibility.
The Master said, “What’s wrong with not having children? Just become a father to everyone.”
I’ve always lived alone. I feel like I’ve come to my senses late in life.
This is my land.
I am the emperor. I am the ruler of this land.
The people who will live in my land must be protected by me, regardless of age or gender. This is what I started.
As the ruler of the land, I have a duty to kill the invaders.
Advertisements
I don’t have a crown on my head right now, but I feel like I do.
This is my land. These feelings are mine alone.
This responsibility is also mine alone.
Those who try to turn my land, my people, and my world into toys must be killed.
I looked around. It was the sea. The Black Sea.
I just sat down, cross-legged on the water, and closed my eyes.
A distinct emotion sweeps across the entire Western Continent.
When you are at the end of the natural world or at the beginning of the magical world, you have to use a lot of energy to do this.
However, at this moment when I have reached the intermediate level of Magical Mind, I can feel the entire Western Continent just by my senses.
It is a high and low level within the realm.
If the difference between the upper, middle, and lower levels is this much, what kind of world will Ragnarok, which is one level higher than this realm, be looking at?
I shook my head. I took a deep breath and calmed my mind and body.
You only need to look at one.
The odds of winning have gone up a little bit.
* * *
The Western Continent was in a false peace, but the Eastern Continent was not.
However, this does not mean that a massive massacre occurred.
Ragnarok, who was leading the Chimera army, was surprisingly relaxed.
As for where it was being used, it was in the ice palace.
“Bingjora… … Your cooking skills are good.”
In front of Ragnarok, who was expressing such admiration, was Yu Seol-ha.
It wasn’t close by. It was far away.
It wasn’t like his limbs were bound or injured or anything like that.
It was just there.
“It tastes good, so why don’t you come and have some too?”
Yuseolha’s eyes were trembling.
What should I say?
Should I call it fear? No. It wasn’t just fear.
I had a similar feeling towards the Emperor of the West. His power was so strong that I was nervous, and the tension reached its peak, so I was on guard.
I felt fear naturally, but the man in front of me was different.
Just by staying still.
His mere presence overwhelmed the audience.
A being that was not human, a being that transcended species and transcended them again, ironically, was human.
It’s like wearing clothes that don’t match.
As if a non-human being were pretending to be human.

“You seem to be thinking a lot. I told you I had no intention of touching you, but you’re still so cautious. That must mean you don’t trust me.”
“… … You know a lot.”
“Hehe. Do you know why I didn’t kill you and the other people in this place called the Ice Palace?”
