Limitless Dream

[495] Across the Dream (8)

Hanseojin sits supreme with his new sword in his hand.

The feel of a hard and hot handle has been conveying a good feeling. I didn't know what a natural part of the sword would be.

I feel the immense potential the sword holds. Even if only a fraction of it was released, it seemed like it could wipe out everything in the world.

Absolute power, per se.

Energy that could burn the whole planet down.

The miraculous miracle is now in his hands.

I'm shaking with excitement, and no matter how hard I try, I keep trying to laugh.

I just grabbed the sword, and it was full of energy. It is the fullness of power he has never felt before. No, no one on Earth can feel this vitality.

If he were, he wouldn't be human already.

“The Necromancer Sword...... Do you recognize me now? ”

A new sword that only Shin Hyo-jin could wield, but now he can wield it himself.

Why the sword should be in the lab, and why it should be in the bedroom, and why it should be in your hands.

There were many questions, but there was only one straw.

‘The King's Order.’

Perhaps the one who sensed that he expressed the power of the king responded in some way. I had to think so.

‘All right, we just need to find the half that's broken. ’

At that moment, I felt the shiver of the sword.

A loud, slow echo has penetrated my mind, as if it were spreading from a very deep place.

The vision in front of my eyes began to dizzily spread, as if the uneven paint had flowed.

The landscape becomes chaotic, and the sensation of consciousness being sucked into somewhere envelops the body.

Above the completely discarded field of view, there is a cloudy feeling of space. Everything around it falls into an endless abyss like a broken letter.

An invisible crash at the end point. Han Seo-jin screams, but he can't even reach his ears.

The fall seems to have finally stopped.

The distorted landscape gradually took shape, and a dark space began to appear.

“ ……. ”

Han Seo-jin looked around with a pale complexion.

A vast, endless land of death, where countless white bones lie on every side. I cannot fathom where it reaches and how far it ends.

Among the giant backbones, Seojin stood for a long time. Suddenly, he raises his hands to confirm. And he touched his body everywhere.

Thankfully, his body was intact.

At least it doesn't look like it entered Arthur's body.

He looks up and sees far away.

The dead bones had certain rules, they were connected to each other. It was gathering in a single stream.

In the middle there was a huge mountain of phosphorus.

A tomb of bones, made of countless bones.

Han Seo-jin walked towards it.

The bones of giants lying on their left and right sides were mistaken for something that would happen very soon, but he urged them to take a step.

At last, I reached the bottom of the mountain of bones.

Paused, he looked up at the sky.

"The sky is... dark." ’

The black cloud covers everything from the horizon to the end, leaving nothing behind. I can't feel a little starlight.

He slowly climbed the mountain.

He stepped on a human shin much larger than himself, stood on a vertebrae, leaned on a rib, and pointed up again.

At last, he reached the top of the mountain, his breath solidified in the landscape before my eyes.

‘…… Arthur? ’

Wearing an old, muddy cloak, the golden headband sits exhausted. And the thin bones that seemed to belong to the woman were wrapped around the back of her hand like a kiss.

The two people who had comforted each other until the moment of their breaths breaking, for a long time, felt strangled by the receding elegance.

I reached for them without even knowing it.

At that moment, a dazzling flash flashed in response to his approach. Seojin was startled and stopped, and soon after the light faded, he could see a piece of iron stuck to the ground.

The piece of iron is embedded right next to the king.

Broken Shin Sword Fragment! ’

In a world filled with gray colors, only the sword was still shining. It's like showing off that you're the only free man here.

Han Seo-jin rushed toward the sword.

The blade was very large and high. It seemed to be tens of meters, at best.

Standing alone between the king and the queen's great white bones, Han Seo-jin looks up at the blade.

What destroyed them?

How long have they been frozen like this in this cold space?

Han Seo-jin reaches for the sword.

It was just then.

- No, Your Majesty!

A sharp scream echoes through my head like a hallucination. He pauses and looks back.

However, only the bitch wind was infinitely stretching over the backbones, and nothing was seen.

Did I hear that wrong? ’

He suppresses the inevitable premonition, and he reaches for the sword again.

As soon as my fingertips touched the cold metal surface, an electric shock ran through my body. An invisible storm started to shake all the landscapes in front of him.

It was like turning the leaf of time upside down, everything was driving backwards.

A peaceful Renozian figure unfolds before your eyes. The flow of time passes quickly.

A human army led by the monarch has emerged. The army has invaded the sky and failed again and again. Every time, humans collapsed, but once again, they built up their strength and prospered.

And finally, King Arthur appeared. His army makes its final incursion into the sky. So far, this is a scene already in memory.

The sky that covers the continent starts to open up like a ceiling. It's a sign of doom that we already know.

God's power will now pour down from that breach, leading to the death of everything on the continent.

As soon as I learned about it, I felt sorry for him and tried to shout without knowing it, but when I saw the other side of the hole, I hardened.

‘Is that…… the Shinigami? ’

A world of gods in the sky.

I couldn't say anything when I looked across the dimension that I had never peered on until now.

A world with endless expanse of earth. I don't feel the energy of life at all, other than giving up one grass. It's just solid rock.

In the silent sky, I can see a round star rising alone and shining down on the earth of rock.

It was the full moon.

‘This……! ’

A hole in the dimension through which the power of the new world spills, and the world across the dim as seen through it. And the moon there.

How should I take this?

"Ugh!"

The dizziness that swallows even the screams covered my whole body like pain. As you saw earlier, your vision distorted and you were pulling fast as if something was sucking you in.

Earlier, if it felt like I was falling into an endless abyss, this was a sensation that forced me to rise without rest.

My nauseous dizziness is finally over.

Han Seo-jin suddenly returned to his bedroom. Holding a new sword in his hand.

“ ……. ”

I hear water coming from the bathroom. Song Na was still in the shower.

Given that she usually takes about 20 minutes to take a shower, that would mean that her strange experience just took less than 20 minutes. It felt like hours at least.

Han Seo-jin glances down at the new sword in his hand like he was possessed.

The creature that still rings low resonance, still broken, seems to yearn desperately for the lost half.

“Inside the Earth...... there shouldn't have been a portal to the Renozian. ”

He bites his lip, muttering as if enticed.

“Renault was right inside the Earth! No, no, no! It's not like that! ”

He scratches his head roughly like a madman, and crawls into the unwanted truth.

“Lenozian was not inside the Earth……. ”

He raises his head and looks out the window at the sky. There was a bright full moon in the night sky.

At the last moment, I thought I knew what King Arthur had seen just before he crashed.

Perhaps he was looking at the glorious universe, the endless expanse of freedom, where the full moon shined.

That's what you're looking at.

Reached out towards the untouchable, crashed with his beloved dragon and his beloved queen.

“The surface of the Earth... was a prison on the planet Renozian. ”

* * *

“ ……! ”

The king pauses, hardens, and slowly looks back. Like someone who heard something strange.

The Grand Chamberlain carefully asked the attendant who was following him without saying a word.

“Your Majesty, what is troubling you? ”

“…… didn't you just hear a strange sound? ”

“Sorry, I didn't hear anything. ”

“That's strange. I definitely heard something.... ”

The king looked closely at the direction of the elongated sound, without picking up a smudged expression. The lower Grand Chamberlain insisted.

“Let's go. We're running out of time. We've got the big boys waiting. ”

“Well……. ”

The king did not take a step despite the Grand Chamberlain's insistence.

Then I looked up at the sky.

The blue light extends from the horizon to the end, but it is only a barrier that divides the new world and the human world.

“Beyond that barrier...... there are countless lands like our Renault lying around like the sand on the continent. ”

“Not all children know the truth about Renault. Suddenly, why did you say that……. ”

“I just suddenly get the idea. Do we really need to take it back? Even in Renozi, our kingdom is prospering enough already... ”

Instead of speaking, the king stopped.

I felt something strange about what I just spit out.

Is this really my belief?

At that moment, you feel a slight crack in the sky, and you see something shining through the cracks.

The king opens his eyes and examines the area carefully. However, the sparkle soon disappeared, and the air covered again. Like nothing ever happened from the beginning.

Renault, the world of death, where everything was destroyed.

Endless white bones held the monarch on the throne of the skeletons they had made together.

A backbone in a golden crown, and the bones of a girl who fell down like a kiss on the back of his hand.

A silver sword, perpendicular to them, shines brightly. It's as if we're all alone in this world of death.

There is a white bone standing as if it were standing a little distance from the king.

A backbone in an old, muddy robe, like all others, did not have a single tall life left.

The radiating blade continues to wiggle, gradually coming off the ground.

At that moment, the backbone in the robe shifts in a creak.

The backbone walks in slow motion as it prepares to rise, placing a finger without a fleshy point on the shaking blade.

At that moment, like a lie, the blade stops vibrating and loses its light.

The backbone returns to its original position, guarding it as if it had never moved from the beginning.
