King of Shadows

00513 Confusion

An unprecedented language tore his mind apart. His work was so glorious and huge. It was impossible for a mere specimen to measure its capability. To express its essence in words is to insult it.

Sitting down, he melted, unable to withstand the power he had. It was cursed to commit eardrums, harass bribes, and instill all sorts of thoughts in your head.

"Ooh, ugh..."

When his consciousness flew away in the light, he was in a daze. I could feel death approaching. To an absolute being, he was neither more nor less than a scapegoat.

As his eyes melted like snowflakes, his hands began to tremble.

He instinctively punched at it, not understanding what was happening to him. I was able to draw the best conclusion even in a panic because I had crossed so many lines.

But it was impossible to bend it. Your whole counterattack arm is broken and crushed. He couldn't resist the shock and splattered his hands all over the ground. He spits blood out without a trace.

Bang, bang. He noticed that his heavy weight was swinging up and down and approaching him, and his hair seemed to fall off. I couldn't even breathe. When he heard the roar, he started the match.

The unidentified existence that was twisting the horoscope was different. The body was surrounded by a force of perfection that was unacceptable to even confront.

"Ah, ah..."

Xi Hyun is desperate. His spirit on the cliff is about to collapse, as if there were no other lives in the corner. Circumstances are at their limit. I woke up the instincts of the demonstration.

On the other side of the unconscious, a hand that I had saved until the end popped out. An unconscious universal elasticity flowed down his throat.

"Ha, s... ter."

As soon as Sihyun said the word, the world reversed. The wind stops, the atmosphere is tense. And the atmosphere changed. The one who answers the call of Sehyun is the master of the interstellar universe and the ruler of the winds in the universe. He was unspeakable, so he was an unknown subject who could transcend limits.

Unpretentious majesty, danger on the other side of the universe. A wondrous being who comforts, curses, loves and hates everything. Harster, who appeared inside the horse, burst into elasticity.

"You called me here to kill my brother and get me what I deserve. I never promised you a reward, but it's weird not to give it to you."

Harster looks around and notices everything in a flash. In a dream controlled by Hippos, it was one of the places where all beings flee. That's where Sihyun stands alone. There was no need to ask how it happened in English.

"But you're an abomination. Without using it right away, you'd expect this to happen if you saw what you used when you needed it."

Harster looked at the 'Abyssal Residents', who were pressuring him. The Abyssal Dweller, one of the great old beings, blinded everyone.

"Piss off, hybrid. There's nothing to see for a fake that's not real. Return to your wonders as if you were born in a dream."

Harster, who called for an affair, tore the Abyssal Residents apart. The adulterous inhabitants of the abyss disappear into a handful of dust. No workshop was set up between the two. The Abyssal Residents had no choice but to listen when Harster informed them.

When he recovered his melted body, he could see exactly who saved him.

"Who the hell are you?"

"You lost your memory when you were dragged here. The funnier you look at him. I can't believe I don't know who you've been calling... but there's nothing I can't tell you. My name is Harster. He is the master of the interstellar universe and controls the winds in the universe."

"I see."

Sihyun casually observed the figure of him referring to himself as Haster.

Harster was wearing a mask of jewelry and gold. However, unlike the mask that showed the extreme of glamour, clothing was not so ordinary. All he wore was a single yellow robe that was close to a rag.

The hand that appeared during the smoke was twitching in groups of maggots and tentacles. The demonstration that he unconsciously summoned was a monster was dumbstruck. There was no Harster in his memory.

"Is it true I called you?"

"Otherwise I wouldn't have had any reason to come here."

Harster, sitting on a huge lump of rock, watches over the demonstration. This was also his chance. An opportunity to get rid of debts at a cheap price. That's why Harster threw down the right door.

"What do you want?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't understand. You present and I'll follow. No more or less. I'm gonna ask you again. What do you want?"

It was a close proposition, but Shi Hyun could never listen to Harster. It was a life-changing option. Harster, who defeated the mysterious existence, was an unthinkable force. There was no such word as impossible.

The demonstration that gave a rattling chest gave an elastic finish. I had a similar feeling in my dream a while ago. Strength and ability, gold and silver coins and the Governor's Forest passed through my head, but Shi Hyun lightly ignored them.

My instincts screamed faster than my sudden desire.

"... to know the truth."

"Is it the right door? I didn't like him from the first moment I met him, but I hate him even more when I hear his answer. But there is no way to rule over those who do me a favor. You should be highly regarded for your brother's achievements on my behalf, so I will award you an abundance of anger."

Harster, who raised his hand, unleashed his power toward the demonstration. Share information faster than hundreds of words. When Harster's memory came into his mind, he suddenly woke up from his seat. It was a single memory, but it was enough to stimulate him.

"This is..."

The fuzzy memory began to clear up. The clouds retreated and the warm sunlight warmed down on my head. Soon after, the puzzled expression disappeared without a trace. Sihyun glanced at the hamster.

"I've been beaten by Hippos."

When he woke up from his dream, he faced reality. His memory is incredibly vivid, although his strength has not returned.

"You're caught in the crossfire. In a dream, Hippos is invincible. Even Azatos was invited into the dream. A tribe unlike yours that only believes in power."

"Is there no way out of this?"

"I rescued him from the water and he wants the sack, too. You're such an idiot."

"... if you really wanted to save me, you wouldn't have asked me what I wanted. Didn't you? You were waiting for me to give you the wrong answer."

"I can't believe you brought that in here... I like the way you act. Well, I'll help you pretend you don't know, even if you're playing a seemingly obvious trick. There's nothing I wouldn't give you if I had some advice."

"Is it impossible to get me out of here?"

"It's true you got rid of your brother for me, but that's why I'm fighting Hifnos. Consider it ironic just to get your memory back."

Soon after the shortcut disappeared, he filled his tongue short.

"Anyway, you're lucky. This place is cut off from the outside, so you can deceive Hippos' eyes. It wouldn't be a dream to get a chance to rejuvenate."

"Nevertheless, the road is invisible."

Even if I got my memory back, I didn't improve my strength. It's because the world in my dreams was working according to Hippos' intentions. It was impossible to break the rules. If Hifnos notices the change in his strife, he will be dragged deeper into the abyss.

"As you know, this dream belongs to Hippos. But it's also yours. In fact, all of Hippos' touching spaces are inseparable from the law. Dreamland, too. The dreams of the people who live there are also the cornerstones that support the Dreamland."

"So you're saying Hippos is using my memory? To create a dream to deceive me?"

"You're quick to understand. Yeah, like you said, Hippos makes dreams based on memories of other beings. Funnily enough, Hippos' ability is intrinsically delicate and sensitive."

Sihyun could tell what Harster wanted to say. A dream that is more real than real. More like a dream than a dream. When the two concepts hit, he wouldn't even be sure where he was standing.

"We need a plan to distinguish between what's real and what's a dream."

"Yes. Hifnos always has a backup plan. He puts unnatural elements in the world of dreams to distinguish reality from dreams. It can be a kind of reference point."

Factors, reference points, put in to distinguish reality from dreams. I didn't need anyone to tell me it was a breakthrough. In short, if I found something different from reality, I could win.

"Is there anything suspicious?"

"Aren't you the wrong person to ask? This is your dream. This is your dream. As a third party, it's impossible for me to notice. You must have seen the reference point made by Hippos on your way over. Don't miss a thing. Have a little doubt. That way we can get out of here."

Sihyun could not figure out what the reference point was. Everything in the dream was unnatural. There was nothing unnatural. It was suspicious to become the ruler of Seoul.

I was worried about those in real life, but I couldn't help it. Finding the reference point was the first thing. Sihyun was going to look around when he went out of his sight because he could wander around forever if he did something wrong.

"This concludes my advice. From now on, you do the following."

The Harster who got up on his feet smiled unnaturally. Since it was such a sudden change, she couldn't help but wonder.

"Why are you smiling? You're not testing me again, are you?"

"That can't be right. I'm not that petty. I'm just smiling because it's fun. You probably haven't noticed, but your situation is pretty interesting. It's contradictory, and that's why it's destructive. Your future is beyond my grasp."

It was an ambiguous answer, but it was best known that it did not come from favor. Harster's curious eyes never recovered. I've seen it from so many different beings. It was a look that wanted variables and feces. Sihyun could be sure. Harster was hoping for a more interesting story.

"I don't know what you want, but I'll decide my path."

"Yes, your path is yours. It's none of my business. But that's why it's fun. Either way, you're destined to suffer."

"Is that all you're saying?"

"Choose well. You're already standing in the way of both."

Haster, who waved his hand at Sihyun, disappeared out of his dream in an adulterous wind. When his back disappeared, he turned away. We have a lot of work to do from now on.
