Episode 268 Introduction to Coherence Studies (2)
Twelve palaces of the zodiac.
It is a secret that reproduces the 12 constellations, which can be said to be the essence of Gyeolgyesa Temple.
Since I haven’t mastered the ‘lost language’ yet, I was just imitating its form… … .
The majesty of Scorpio, which dyed the sky blue, was enough to make us forget its deterioration.
Wooooow!
Ugh!
Countless lights flickered beyond the six-pointed star.
As if from heaven, a shower of blue meteors rained down from the sky and began to turn the area where the Wailing Witch was located into a wasteland.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The terrain changes.
Quaaaang! Quad Deuk!
“Keeeeee!”
“Kwaaaa!”
Its power was beyond imagination, so much so that even the monster statues nearby were caught up in it.
And the Wailing Witch, who was in the middle of the storm, had no choice but to take on the firepower with her bare body.
How long did the attack last like that?
When the meteor shower finally stopped, the condition inside the ruins had changed significantly.
＊＊＊
“Kwaaaaah! My, my body. My body…!”
Smoke rose from his tattered body.
To be able to maintain its shape after being hit by that.
It looks like it’s going to suffer from osteoporosis, but it’s surprisingly strong.
Right then.
“That one?”
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
Black liquid was seen gushing out around the witch’s body.
… … These are black tears.
“After building up your pride like that, I guess you had no choice but to survive?”
The moment the last constellation exploded, the damage must have been offset through black tears.
[The Wailing Witch activates her unique ability ‘Black Tears’!]
Kukukukukuku!
The ability that had terrified the raiding party a moment ago was recreated.
“Ugh. I never thought I would have to show my full power to someone like you. There is no shame like this.”
The worst ability, you never know what might happen if you touch it.
Clearly, direct contact with black tears is dangerous no matter how stagnant they are.
‘I used to wear that, but then I lost my temper and went into the Dragon Lair bare-handed.’
Hatchling hostage… … No, there was a record of a person dying while protesting after being poisoned with solute.
There was also a record of a saint being kidnapped, dressed up as a witch, and then burned at the stake.
Besides that, I went through all sorts of things to deal with the black tears.
‘But there was only one conclusion.’
When I played Tower of Trials, I used a method other than the barrier, but the fundamental roots were connected as one.
That moment.
[The Demonic Realm, Section 1, ‘Black Waves’ arise.]
Kukukukukukuku!
Huge waves began to flood.
In an instant, the constellations of the zodiac turned black.
“Kwaaah!”
“Keeeeek!”
Red mouths and pure white teeth sprouted from the surface of the barrier, and they let out a terrible scream.
Mutation occurs due to black tears.
However, it was only for a short time.
“Giggle!”
“Hehehe! Let’s eat. Let’s eat it up.”
The screams soon turned into laughter and then transformed into a desire for prey.
Moreover, unpleasant-looking eyes began to reveal themselves one by one between the teeth.
Anyway, it’s extremely ominous.
There are probably only a few people in the entire Tower of Trials who use this unpleasant ability.
The eyes turned in this direction at the same time.
… … come.
The ‘moon imprint’ engraved on Jinhyeok’s shoulder shined brightly.
Ancient runes dizzyingly strengthened the defensive barrier.
“Foolish! Didn’t you see it a little while ago? That’s not even a guess!”
Kwaaaaang!
The black fog shattered the barrier created by Jinhyeok in one fell swoop.
The barriers that used to glow blue turned black. New eyes and mouths were screaming like crazy.
however.
The Wailing Witch, who was smiling in remorse, slightly bit her lip.

“……what?”
Some of the barriers were not contaminated.
Almost all of the defensive barriers were contaminated, but some were still fiercely resisting with a blue tint.
This cannot happen.
Because there was no way to stop the black tears.
‘I guess there’s one or two things that got out of control because I was handling so much.’
Besides, it doesn’t matter anyway.
The opponent is just busy trying to block with all his might.
Even that petty resistance will be over in just a few times.
… … The intention is to catch you off guard.
The Wailing Witch glanced at Jinhyuk.
‘It is a face that never gives up. No, rather, it looks like he has something up his sleeve.’
How small variables lead to big results.
What’s more, isn’t the other person the guy who has been toying with and destroying the apostles he created?
We must not let down our guard in a situation where we are in a corner and have even shed black tears.
Even these things may be designed by him.
‘Maybe it’s a plan to take away my barrier like before.’
Since black tears are three times more complicated and move faster than existing magical powers, it is unlikely that this will happen even if it happens, but the Wailing Witch was planning to prepare even if it happened.
then… … .
‘I’ll press it with all my might. Catch me off guard with just one hit.’
The Wailing Witch gradually gathered up her magic power so that Jinhyeok could not notice.
Quaaaang!
Quang!
“Kikikiki!”
“Let’s eat…! Let’s eat. Let’s eat!”
The purple eyes and pure white teeth continued to gnaw at the barriers created by Jinhyeok.
The blue barriers were still dangerously protecting their owner.
Even though it was only a matter of one piece of paper separating our lives, it still did not lose its shine.
furthermore.
It seemed that the number of barriers that did not mutate was increasing compared to before.
The prediction was not wrong.
Something is happening.
before it’s too late… … It has to be done.
… … as soon as.
“now!”
[Magic Barrier Section 2, ‘Flower of Dreams’ activates!]
At Jinhyuk’s feet.
Grumble!
The magic power that had been stored up little by little until now bloomed all at once.
The six black petals and the teeth sprouting from within the petals… … . Even if the prey was a large species, it was large and sharp enough to be swallowed.
“No matter what you had planned, I had the upper hand. This is the end!”
The Flower of Dreams is a mental ability that hypnotizes the target.
It was a special move that boasted the fastest and most powerful effect among the skills that could be performed with black tears.
The phrase ‘different dimension’ probably exists for times like this.
But at that very moment.
Creepy.
A cold chill ran down my spine.
Jinhyuk, who should be in hypnosis, is still smiling.
However, the reason for the chill was not simply that the other person was not hypnotized.
The gaze is directed downward.
At the witch’s feet… … Huge pupils and pure white teeth were visible.
“No, that’s ridiculous.”
Another dream flower has just finished blooming.
“How could this be possible? This is something whose structure is impossible to understand. Moreover, it was stolen from me…”
As the Wailing Witch spoke, she realized something.
If you stole the barrier… … Why are two dream flowers blooming here?
At the opponent’s feet, the flower he had created was still pouring its magic power into hypnosis.
I endured it like nothing happened. She made another flower… … .
It’s not just stealing.
“Well, the magic flowing in the black tears. Are you saying that you have figured it out?”
I saw through the entire foundation.
At those words, Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.
“I haven’t learned high-level barriers and curses like you. I’m not skilled enough to handle them perfectly. In fact, it’s embarrassing to even compare.”
I just took this fight to my advantage by being caught off guard and taking advantage of compatibility and the situation. It was never possible to surpass the knowledge accumulated by the Weeping Witch.
Nevertheless. Just one.
If there is one reason to be sure of victory, it is to be fearless in seeing and learning new things.
Over the past 11 years, I have chosen to experiment rather than settle.
As I walked a path that no one else had taken and enjoyed the process, I came to know it naturally.
The destination at the end of each road and the shortest route to that destination.
“Insolent. You talk as if you are a genius.”
“Oh my. You completely misheard my story. If I were a genius, I would have succeeded in everything at once. Those guys are the ones who create a lot of results with one effort. It was too much for me to even produce one result with one effort.”
However, the effort was countless.
Enough to create tens of thousands of results with tens of thousands of efforts.
“By chance… it was so coincidental that I ended up like this because I got a job as a prisoner. If your job was something else, this result wouldn’t have happened.”
The Weeping Witch raised a vein in her neck.
“well…….”
I think it will be difficult to agree with that statement again.
“If you had chosen the profession that I originally focused on, you wouldn’t have even made eye contact with me.”
I chose Gyeolgyesa for interest, but what if I try again with a job I climbed to the top in the past? Having corrected all the mistakes and weaknesses I made back then?
If I talk about it for a long time, my mouth will hurt.
There is no need to tell this story so long, the witch’s head would have been lying on the ground a long time ago.
“You’ve chosen a different career? What does that mean?”
The Wailing Witch asked again, but Jinhyeok did not answer.
instead. The fight ended with a light boost of mana.
“Thank you for giving me a new fight in my own way. Thanks to you, I think I’ve become a little more attached to the barrier temple.”
The petals slowly gathered toward one point.
My vision became increasingly dark.
“Now, wait! Wait. You don’t want to know the truth about the barrier? If you save me, I can take you to the Grand Witch’s Association. I can tell you the truth about this world that you could never even imagine!”
The Wailing Witch stretched out her hand through the leaves.
My dry arms were flailing desperately.
“I’m sorry, I’ve been there too, but there was nothing special.”
Mouths were completely brought together.
Quack! Quad Deuk!
“Kwaaaah!”
Red blood spurted out like a waterfall through the gap.
Thumping.
There was only one arm left, which had been stretched outward.
＊＊＊
“also…….”
Jerk.
It was at that moment that I heard footsteps.
“Being the Wailing Witch doesn’t work for you. Still, I had some hopes, but it turned out to be really disappointing.”
Tristan, who was supposed to be dealing with the Dangun guild, was already standing next to him.
“If you leave, the remaining statues will collapse in an instant, right? No, since the witch is dead, it will only be a matter of time before they collapse anyway.”
“Hehe. The witch is dead?”
Tristan chuckled.
Then he approached the severed arm.
“Witches have quite strong vitality. Look closely. Even if only one arm remains.”
Kuuk.
Tristan stepped on his arm.
OK.
“Aaaah!”
A sharp scream rang out.
“You can stay alive like this. Of course, it will take time for your body to recover, but your life will be saved anyway.”
“This… you damned demon! Why did you expose me, who was hiding so well!”
The Wailing Witch screamed like crazy.
You can’t help but feel angry at your friend’s incomprehensible actions.
However, Jinhyuk also did not understand Tristan’s actions.
“You… why did you betray the witch? You definitely need the witch’s help to survive, right?”
“Hmm. To answer that question, I have to ask you one thing first. Jinhyuk, what kind of place do you think this is?”
“I don’t like Zen questions… Why don’t you just answer what I ask?”
“Think about it just once and you’re being deceived.”
Tristan smiled brightly.
It’s an ominous laugh again. For a moment, I felt afraid of that bright smile.
The reason why this woman suddenly betrayed the Wailing Witch… … The nature of the Antichrist’s tomb and its conditions.
Clues and clues are put together.
“…….”
Jinhyuk’s facial expression changed.
It’s a light question, but the answer to that question was by no means light.
“……Holy cow.”
This place.
The tomb of the Antichrist.
It is a place where demons can appear.
“You got it right.”
Magic power exploded.
