Level Up

Hyun-seok glanced at the old man who claimed to be a fragment of God.

His expression or eyes were so bold, but in fact, I couldn't keep my heart still.

What the old man said was shocking.

“You do know something about God Fragments, don't you? ”

As he asked, the old man smiled.

“I'm a fragment of God, and I don't know it. ”

“People often don't know much about themselves. ”

The old man nods loudly.

“That's right. They deceive themselves to justify themselves. ”

Hyun-seok carefully looked at the old man who said that. I also examined the flow of magical power of the elderly with an extremely focused sensation.

But the old man was a real man. At least in the knowledge or senses of the modern world, I had to say so.

“Why do you keep watching me? ”

“I had a feeling. It's just you.”

“What are you talking about? ”

The old man laughed.

“I feel like they're looking for me. No, I'm sure. What, am I wrong? ”

He didn't answer. If this old man really is a fragment of God, his conviction is absolutely accurate.

The old man looks closely at the group behind the stone.

“I think I need a moment to talk. Are you going to take them with you? ”

Hyun-seok thought for a moment and shaken his head.

If we have to wake up God's fragment now, we should be with them. It was the same thing that I wanted.

But if you're going to listen to information about him, you need to be alone.

I had a hunch that quests related to God's Fragment should only be done by myself.

It was also very thoughtful to share the process of waking up debris. Perhaps they will gain great things in the process.

“Let's get a seat, shall we? ”

The old man says so, raising his staff slightly and dipping it into the floor.

Whoo-hoo!

A white concentric circle appeared around the ground with a stick in it and spread out everywhere.

A surge of intense magic passes through the stone and the old man. And the magic rises straight up to a certain radius.

Whoo-hoo!

A hemispherical membrane of magical power is formed with a shifty vibration.

Hyundai and the old man naturally sat in the membrane.

The group turns to look around, confused.

“How's that? Pretty decent, huh? It's a barrier between the eyes and the senses. ”

Hyundai looks at this transparent membrane and thinks about the power of magic.

Sorcery is a power created by twisting magic. That's why magical power also makes the way to go a bit difficult and complex.

It also establishes the opposite. Magic is very simple and simple, but if you want to use magic, you have to go a very complicated way.

That's what the old man is doing now. Expanding this through magic requires a fairly complex process.

But with magic, it became much simpler. Using magic seemed comfortable when multiple functions had to be combined.

The magical power was advantageous when a few functions were subtracted or added and fine-tuning was required.

After all, he looks at the old man, analyzing the spells that entered the barrier around him.

It's natural to analyze the magic that flows around you and digest it with your own hands without having to worry and concentrate.

“Now, if you have any questions first, let me ask you. As far as I'm concerned, I'll answer your questions. ”

He asked as if there was nothing to worry about.

“What happens when you wake up all the pieces of God? ”

The old man strokes his chin with a strange look.

“Oh. I thought you'd ask about me, but I was a little unexpected. Aren't you curious how I'm supposed to wake up the fragments? ”

Hyun-Seok even looked at the old man's words with a blunt look. Soon, the old man shrugs once and takes out his horse.

“It's nothing. After waking up all the fragments of God, the path to where God has fallen asleep will only be opened. ”

“That's it? ”

Hyun-seok blinked his eyes and asked again. That can't be Dyle. Every time I wake up a fragment, it feels like a big change is coming from my skin.

“Well...... there might be some change. ”

“Is that slight change the connection between the world that Whitehall is making here and the Earth? ”

The old man laughed.

“You must be mistaken.... ”

“Illusion?”

“Do you think Whitehall and Earth are different places? ”

“So this is Earth? ”

I was slightly surprised by the expression on his face. I didn't know this place was Earth. But this place was too foreign to call it Earth.

“It used to mean that this was Earth. even though we're separated now. ”

His expression became slightly more serious.

If that's true, then maybe the world is right to merge with the Earth. That would be more natural.

‘No, maybe I climbed into that stream without waking up God's debris. ’

If it's natural, the flow of the world was meant to go to you in the first place.

“I didn't want to talk about it because I didn't have to wake up the fragments anyway. You're feeling confused, aren't you? It's much more natural. ”

Hyun-seok nods once. Then the old man smiled and said.

“You wake up fragments, you just accelerate the flow a little bit more. ”

And that acceleration has twisted the history of the world. Now, many things are different from the world where Hyun-Seok used to live.

“The path to God is open... So I have to meet God?" ”

The old man tilts his head.

“I don't know. Maybe we should just go and have a look." He's asleep now. ”

That's what it is. When you meet the sleeping god, of course you'll have to wake him up, and you'll meet him naturally.

An old man who realized the idea of Hyundai said with a smile.

“You don't have to wake the sleeping god. We just need to go and have a look around. ”

“Take a look? What? ”

“Is God really sleeping or is he dead? ”

Despite hearing quite shocking words, Hyundai stared at the old man with almost unchanged bold eyes.

“You don't know that, do you? ”

“You don't know because it's a fragment. They're off the main body. It's just a fragment, but you can't treat it like it's part of God. ”

I didn't want to be here. Pretending to be independent. I just thought I could communicate with God organically, but I was just a little disappointed that I said no.

“You can't communicate when you wake up, can you? ”

“Waking up is like putting a switch in my power. Communication with it is a separate matter. So I'm asking you to open a path to God and see if he's alive. ”

“Please... ”

It was a bit confusing whether this was a request or a compulsion, but for now. Whether it was a favor or a compulsion, I was willing to do it.

Hyun-seok stared at the old man quietly and asked.

“A sorcerer by the underground waterway. Did you make this? ”

The old man nods.

“Yes, I made it. I needed some magic. ”

Hyun-Seok listened to the old man's answer and examined him again. Then I tilted my head.

It was too different from the fragments of God I had met so far. Once the inherent strength was insufficient.

The power of the elderly itself was powerful, but it was based on humans.

Compared to the fragments of other gods, the comparison itself was far too much to be sorry for.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Don't I look like a fragment of God to you? ”

The old man laughed and said.

“You've woken up quite a lot of debris just pretending to know. This is very solid. I was worried what would happen if I was first. ”

Hyun-seok listened to the old man and confirmed that he didn't have much to find out about the real questions.

But I asked him a few questions just in case. such as time regression.

However, the old man only shakes his head after being asked a question.

Hyun-seok almost gave up and asked the last question.

“How did this world end up like this? ”

“Why are the pieces torn and separated like this? ”

Hyun-seok nods, shining his eyes.

“Because of the invasion of the Horses. ”

“The Horsemen?”

“Each one of them is formidably strong. Those bastards broke through the barrier to the next level. ”

The word "dimensional barrier" reminded me of the dungeon, but Hyun-seok silently listened to the old man.

“Humans went to war. But there's no way it could be a real fight. I was badly beaten. That's when God intervened. ”

Hyun-seok suddenly remembered the machinery connected to the invisible dungeon. I fought many horses there.

"Were the Horsemen that strong? But……. ’

The Horsemen are not weak. Nevertheless, it was not strong enough to wipe out the humans in a heartbeat.

Humans experienced only knights at the Imperial Palace, but their strength was strong enough to keep their heads down.

Those strong people can't be more than that, so based on that analogy, we can see how strong the Horsemen were.

Are you another Horseman? ’

While Hyun-seok was making a curious face, the explanation of the elderly continued.

“The problem is, even if God intervened, he couldn't stop the Horsemen properly. ”

“You couldn't stop God? ”

I looked at the old man with a look I didn't understand.

“The Horsemen I've been through aren't that strong. I thought a fragment of God could wipe out millions of such horsemen... Isn't that right? ”

“You've been through the Horses? Oh, you mean the Horsemen in the Breach? They were weakened by the power of the Magic System. It's a bit different from the real Horses. ”

After that, the old man vomited furiously about how great the Horses were. Something seems to have bothered you that even the gods couldn't stop them.

The foundation of the power of the Horses comes from the Magic System. It was a place where the power of the magic system was cut through the gaps between them.

This means that we must continue to use our strength to survive.

In other words, as time passes, the force naturally weakens.

The horsemen who faced Hyundai were as weak as they were weakened.

Then how strong are you supposed to be? ’

Hyun-Seok only gradually understood what the old man said. At that rate, it wouldn't be too strange if a civilization of this magnitude were to be destroyed by the Horsemen.

“I could have stopped the Demons, but the problem was the Demon King intervened. Well, of course it is. Who would tear down a dimensional barrier if not for the Demon King? ”

“Did the Demon King come this way, too? ”

“That's where the real problem started. ”

The old man's expression became serious.

“God stepped up and killed the Demon King. And in return, I fell into a deep sleep. ”

Hyun-seok glanced at the old man with his eyes shining. From now on, I have a feeling that this is really important.

“The Demon King can't just kill someone. Horse is the Demon King. He's practically a god. So if we're going to kill them properly, we need to dismantle the pieces and scatter them. ”

I suddenly wondered when Hyun-seok heard about it.

“But why did the Horsemen invade? I heard they can't use their strength if they're not a steed. ”

The old man stroked his chin.

“Well, I doubt that. What the hell do they think they're doing in here with food? ”

It was a conversation I started to solve, but instead I got a new question.

The old man tilts his head for a moment, then changes his face and says again.

“After all, God had no choice but to scatter the Demon King in a completely different space. ”

“Then……. ”

“Yes. I created a confined space with the power of eight pieces. That's where they keep the Demon King's pieces. ”

His expression became serious.

“And then the space was transformed? ”

“Yes. I underestimated the Demon King's power. The space was deformed, and God's debris repeated itself to the best of its ability to divide space again. ”

In each space, the Demon King's pieces were divided into pieces. A place where connection to the magic system is severed and the power is continuously consumed.

Hyundai wondered if this was the cause of the creation of dungeons, including Whitehall.

“That's all I have to say. ”

At the old man's words, the stone flashes up and looks at him. It was too sudden.

“We don't have much time. ”

“Is it the egg? ”

The old man stared at the stone in surprise.

“Did you know? ”

“You didn't want me to know that you were so blatantly practicing magic? ”

The old man smiles bloody.

“Not really. Anyway, there's no time. He's trying to wake up. ”

“Wake up?”

“You'll see soon enough. ”

At the same time, the old man removed the veil.

A group of angry, stunned characters rush to you.

The old man laughed as he watched the scene. And it just exploded.

Boom!
