Record of a Thousand Lives

Evil is miserable and heroic.

Now, which one are you up against?

- Syrian king of all things.

Kang Yoon-soo slept very deeply.

So I had a nightmare, like I've always had.

I have often had nightmares of seeing the world annihilated by the emperor alone.

But unfortunately, the dream he was having was a different nightmare.

‘…… give up. ’

That voice was really terrible.

But I wanted to hear him die.

The distorted figure looks at him and says.

‘You... have to let go. ’

Give up?

What do you mean?

You're here now?

“I've already forgotten you. ”

It took me a while to get my mouth off.

“You just show up and mess with my head. So get lost.”

Kang Yoon-soo turned his head.

However, the voice of the forgotten child kept digging into my heart.

Even though I had forgotten his name and gender, I still missed his voice terribly.

‘Lies.’

That voice was cold.

‘I'm holding on to what you're going through. Me, too. ’

I didn't want to hear any more.

"I showed up on my own?" ’

I closed my ears.

But his voice did not stop.

‘No way. I'm a cruel regret you'll never forget. ’

I can't breathe.

How long do I have to have nightmares?

He was just looking forward to waking up.

The last word struck a chord.

‘I expect you to forget me. But will that ever happen? You gave birth to me when you knew you were gonna die in the first place. ’

I felt like my heart was breaking.

* * *

Chanet noticed a change as her left pupil turned golden.

“Did you have a nightmare today? ”

“No.”

Kang Yoon-soo woke up after three days and sat at the table shaking his head.

But she insisted.

“But you look like you're in bad shape. ”

Iris, who was covered in red fruit jam on her ham, tilted her head.

“How does Shanette know that? Kang Yoon-soo is always expressionless. ”

“My eyes are slightly more shaky than usual. ”

“Can you see it in your eyes? ”

Henryk, who was drinking in the morning, offered to drink a glass to Kang Yoon-soo.

Shanette pointed at the bright golden eyes.

“The Eye of the Undying Dragon is amazing. It's not just eyesight that's improved. It must have been a piece of power that increased my strength. ”

“Fantastic. Would you like to guess if I'm lying? ”

“Good.”

“Which of Shanette's meat pies and apple pie would I like more? ”

“That's it…… Of course it's both. ”

“Oh, my God. How did you know? ”

Iris opened her eyes wide and Shanette smiled brightly.

Henrik laughs in vain.

“Have fun. ”

At that time, Kang Yoon-soo lowered his glass.

“I need to talk to you. ”

I focused on my colleagues.

He confessed his past.

The Magician who appeared every 20 years and destroyed the world.

who has repeated 999 lives.

Changes caused by the white shadow in Iris and the "who should not be."

And in this life, the Magpie appeared early.

As Shanette and Henryk listen to the story, their eyes gradually widen.

“…… so you're living a thousand lives now, and this is your last? ”

Kang Yoon-soo nodded.

Henryk frowns.

“I never would have believed such a foolish story if it were the way it was, but you say it differently. I knew there was too much to know. The young man was too emotionally drained. ”

He taps his finger on the table and thinks for a moment.

Henryk then filled Kang Yoon-soo's glass with another drink.

“From what I hear about you, it feels like a blessed life I've lived. You must have suffered a lot. Don't suffer alone anymore. You've worked harder than anyone. ”

Kang Yoon-soo only stared at the glass.

I suddenly remembered his death.

Henryk had no reason to eat.

“Damn. I said something I didn't usually say, and it tickles me. ”

He goes straight to the point.

“If you've repeated your life so many times, you must have met many of us, right? ”

“Huh."

Henryk takes it seriously.

“How did I usually die? ”

“Wandering or guarding someone. ”

“Hmm. Not bad. Marriage?”

“I didn't. ”

“Unless you can't. How about a drink?"

“I couldn't hang up until I was dead. ”

“It's a life of killing. ”

Henry was satisfied.

Shanette hesitates and opens her mouth.

“What was Kang Yoon-soo's relationship with me? ”

“Wife, or lover. ”

Her cheeks turn red.

My eyes looked hot, too.

“I wonder... how hard it must have been. ”

Shanette mutters in her throat and no more questions.

Kang Yoon-soo thanked her for not asking about her child.

Iris gives him a good smile.

“I'm glad Kang Yoon-soo didn't suffer alone. ”

Kang Yoon-soo was reluctant to ask Iris questions about her past life.

In the past, I've hunted her and carved out her heart.

So I switched the subject.

“How is the white shadow these days? ”

She gives you a grim look.

“It's the same. It's always silent, always speaking to itself. ”

Kang Yoon-soo often heard a conversation with the white shadow through her.

However, he only sometimes said that he would give the answer to the question he asked.

The identity of the white shadow, who knew the world's regression, was also a question.

Henryk emptied his glass and said,

“I have one question. If the energy of the One Who Should Be gone has gotten to you, who is he? I'm sure you've met him before. ”

“The goddess ordered us to kill him ourselves, so he's no ordinary man. ”

“Like the Mage? ”

“You said you'd have someone you shouldn't have, but you said you'd have an early appearance after your regression. So it can't be magic. ”

They were concerned, but it was only concluded that the current lack of clues was lacking.

Iris then surprisingly offered a simple solution.

“Didn't I tell you that the Horse of the Giants was someone who could solve the question when the cartel died? ”

Kang Yoon-soo nodded.

“Let's go to the Giants' Tower and meet the Syrians. ”

“…… Syrian? ”

Shanette was embarrassed and asked.

“You can't be the Syrian king of all ancient heroes, can you? ”

“That's right."

Syrian king of all living things.

Kang Yoon-soo swore an oath to Minerva to kill the Syrian.

Shanette urgently asked.

“Of course, you've killed kings of all things in your past life, haven't you? ”

“Huh."

She sighs of relief.

If Yoon-soo Kang had experience in his previous life, it was a minimum of relief.

But he shakes his head.

“But not in this life. ”

“Uh, why? ”

“I'll be there early. ”

It was more than 19 years after regression that I met the Syrian in my past life.

But now, Kang Yoon-soo has returned and not more than a year has passed.

So the equipment and levels were miserable compared to their past lives.

In fact, it was almost a miracle that he had just killed the Undead Dragon.

However, I had no choice but to hurry as long as the emperor appeared early.

“Syrian king of all things, and the tower of the living.... ”

Henryk gets up from his seat with a few bottles left.

“Even today, the dreams of natural history are distant. ”

* * *

As the group leaves the building, Caliban comes to meet you.

“You're awake at last. Lord.”

Many of the undead were wiped out in the war and left with nothing but Caliban.

That's why his pale face seemed a little lonely.

Titan and his men have been drunken by the frenzy of wine for days.

The group climbs up the rocky mountain again, leaving them lying in the street behind.

The ghost woman smiled and welcomed him.

You're the Underground Savior! I heard about the eradication of the Incredible Dragon.

However, unlike her kind assistant, the blacksmith of deterioration turned his back and bluntly hammered.

“I want to reenter the lair of the Fallen Dragon. ”

The old beggar didn't even pretend to hear it.

Kang Yoon-soo showed me a black ring.

“There is still one chance to trap the soul in this ring. ”

Oh my god, is that true?

Unlike the tempting ghost woman, the blacksmith immediately turned around.

“What a rotten evil. ”

The blacksmith curses and splits the air with a hammer.

Then there was a crack in the air and a passageway opened up somewhere.

The group enters the lair of the Fallen Dragon.

* * *

The lair of the Fallen Dragon is in jeopardy.

The sky was crumbling and the forest and earth were crumbling.

The magic in the nest is slowly collapsing due to the owner's death.

Once the nest is completely destroyed, they will be banished straight away.

“Let's hurry.”

Kang Yoon-soo went first to report on the secret of the Undead Dragon.

The secret report was still full of glorious goods.

‘Rare items are mostly burned by the extinct dragons, but the most precious remains. ’

He has three items.

Glasses of Infinity, Deadly Swords, and the Seal of Destruction.

‘All are legendary rank items. ’

Destroyer's favorite treasures.

They were valuables that couldn't be used for stealing.

However, Kang Yoon-soo gained ownership after killing the undead dragon.

Thus, he was authorized to use all three treasures.

“Lord, we don't have much time. ”

The Caliban urges you not to.

Kang Yoon-soo nodded.

“Let's go where the corpse of the Undead is. ”

“Where is it? ”

“The deepest place in the world. ”

The group kills a number of nesting creatures that shoot at the sky.

It was the first gecko I had ever seen, and its wings were very large and developed.

“Resurrection of multiple corpses.”

Kang Yoon-soo makes a gangster into an undead, and the group climbs up one by one.

Then you head down the deep hole to the place where you fought the Incredible Dragon.

Undead nerds have been flying fast, but it has taken hours.

“What a deep place. ”

Iris was surprised and said.

Above the vast mantle is the corpse of a blood-soaked undead dragon.

Kang Yoon-soo disbanded and his left pupil and heart disappeared.

Moreover, the scales of his whole body were torn off and his arms and legs were cut off.

Henryk kicks his tongue.

“I can't believe you brought down that dreadful undead dragon like this. You're a really scary monster, too. ”

Shanette examines the corpse of the Incredible Dragon at a glance.

“After a long time, there's no corruption at all. But wouldn't it be hard to use it as an undead because your whole body is cut off? ”

It was true.

A limb-degraded corpse is difficult to utilize unless it is a skeleton family.

It also required great magical power to reach Nakron, the last Necromancer, in order to resurrect the body of the dragon.

Kang Yun-su or Little Rich's undead resurrection skills have not yet reached that extent.

Then Caliban steps forward.

“It doesn't matter. ”

Death General draws his longsword and points it at the corpse of the Undead.

At that moment, the corpse of the undead roamed like a demonic flame.

The shape of the large corpse gradually fades and becomes absorbed by the sword.

“Nakron gave me an order to build the NeverDead Dragon, and that was my final task. ”

“Caliban!”

Iris yells in surprise.

Unlike the blade that absorbs and thickens the dragon, Caliban's body gradually breaks apart.

Death General completes his final task and returns to the earth.

The Caliban said without even smiling as it crumbled.

“Nakron gave me a natural lifespan when the Neverdead dragon was created. Because the undead are not worthy of existence. ”

“No, it's not. ”

It was Kang Yoon-soo's voice.

Caliban smiles sadly.

“Lord, the undead only rise for a moment to be destroyed and exploited. We protected our allies as shields, and I was the only undead left after the war. ”

“I judge your existence not for yourself, but for someone else and a monarch. ”

Caliban's eyes falter.

Kang Yoon-soo stepped forward.

“You have fulfilled the Lord's command, knowing that you will be destroyed. You were the best knight before you were an undead. ”

His voice was firm.

“I have lived a thousand lives and seen your sacrifice beyond measure. So this time, I will do the same thing. I'll make your grave. ”

“You mean my... grave? ”

Caliban asked as if he couldn't believe it.

Kang Yoon-soo nodded.

The tomb of the Undead.

Who makes a grave for the undead that only gets used and destroyed?

What kind of crazy person in the world would make something like that?

However, Kang Yun-su's eyes were serious without any other emotions.

Caliban watches him quietly and bursts into disappearance.

“Hahaha...! ”

Silent laughter echoes through the deepest parts of the world.

Caliban's long, luxurious smile suddenly brings him to his knees.

His voice was louder and louder than ever.

“Kang Yoon-soo! The second Lord who lost his life stood up again! ”

Caliban declared loyalty and reverse stabbing at Kang Yoon-soo.

“My will will remain as a sword, and as a weapon to summon the NeverDead Dragon. I hope you will accept my sword. ”

My voice gradually fades.

It was Caliban's last will and testament.

“Kang Yoon-soo, it's been an honor... to have you as my monarch. ”

The Caliban crumbles as the blade completely absorbs the undead dragon's corpse.

Death General disappears to dust, accepting his second death.

Where he was, only one black knife was held in reverse.

The sword left by the undead knight who has devoted countless years to the monarch.

“I thank you. Caliban.”

Kang Yoon-soo picked up the knife sack.
