5.

I became envious.

"......."

No, it's not just envy.

Jealousy. Jealousy expresses the boiling loneliness.

‘It's not the first time. ’

Yeah, not the first time.

Hunters I don't know. Living a day waiting for their skills to awaken without leaving the first floor.

For many, [Duke of the Four Kings] is already a target of jealousy.

‘I knew that. ’

I enjoyed quite a lot of attention, like all the years of wanting to write and sign praises about me, pointing to me when I was walking down the street.

‘But…….'

Yeah, but...

‘Even you.'

I slowly stared at the serpent.

‘You're jealous of me, even for someone your own size. ’

What a viper he is.

The sight of chattering and joking as it is now, if I had seen it in the past, it would have been [impossible] to be so frightened.

‘Idols in my mind. ’

They were like idols to me who fancied the top hunters.

Although the leader of the Idol group, Bridesmaid, was retiring as a nuisance and preparing for her training life again, she was still one of the idols in my mind.

Such a man boils his way around, weeping, jealous of you.

“Ah,"

I confronted that heart in front of my eyes.

“Hahahaha, hahahaha! ”

I couldn't bear it, so I laughed loudly.

“Hahahahaha, ah, hahahahaha! ”

Moonlight Plains.

The plants lie in the desert, swarming around in fine sand with the wind. Tens of millions of roses rolled through the valleys and hills of the desert.

And then, it rained.

Fall rain.

There was red rain everywhere. A rainstorm. The sand is buried in the water, and the lines of the valley shine. Rose petals that swallowed raindrops became much fresher.

Thus, the world, the desert, was revived by the sound of raindrops and the sound of rainwater flowing, and the golden petals embroidered the sleep, creating an illusion that something sacred was sleeping there.

An oasis built in the middle of the desert.

Only when the landscape around us became an oasis did I stop laughing.

“Hahahaha… haha, haha… hahahaha. ”

The serpent stared at me.

“Did you laugh?”

I nod with a wet face in the rain.

“Yes. I feel like I'm laughing here for the rest of the year. ”

“Son of a bitch! ”

Shhhhh!

The serpent tried to pick my head with his special lightning bolt.

But it didn't work. Wherever he stepped to get into the pose, there was a sand egg in Kim Yul. There were Sylvia's petals in the air too far for him to fly in.

Above all, whatever he took himself, he was already wet in the rain of Estelle.

"I'm sorry, Lord Moon."

I was struck by a serpent, as if I had anticipated everything about where and how to attack.

“Because I was strong, I was able to take care of you completely? Because I'm strong, I was able to raise my children strong? You're right. You're right...... but I think the astronomer is mistaken. ”

“A mistake...? ”

“I wasn't strong from the start. ”

I grabbed one of the chandeliers lying around on the floor. I then clumped the error and compressed it, and shot the scarlet skyscraper.

Towards the viper.

"Huff……!"

The serpent desperately rolled over and dodged my attack. Pashashazak! A sharp javelin dug deep into the desert with its petals torn off.

The handle of the javelin was dripping with rain.

The viper rises in blood. The Serpent's body was already a mess, whether I had not completely dodged the javelin I shot.

“Shit, feet...! What are you talking about? ”

“Literally, not from the start. ”

I created three error spears. A few petals, a few grains of sand, and a few drops of rain gathered and immediately focused on the shape of a red spear. The three spears hovered through the air and waited only for my command.

“And I did this trick right away. ”

I lightly gestured, blowing spears at the viper.

“Khhhhhhh!? ”

Blood splattered.

“Truly, surprisingly, very recent. I can't waste my error like this without the support of Estelle and Sylvia, Kim Yul and my housewives. ”

The viper managed to avoid two of the three sacks. But that was my aim.

One last sack, the orb spear burrows its flesh into the serpent's shoulder. He collapses screaming.

“I didn't defeat the Fall Rain Demon King because I was strong from the start. I was strong from the start, so I could comfort you and comfort you, never. Absolutely not.”

When I heard the serpent's words, I remembered the first time I met the teacher.

So I laughed.

At that time, I begged and was recognized by the teacher as an outsider student.

The teacher took me somewhere, saying, [Let's test your qualifications to be a direct disciple], and there was a pit full of unemployed zombies.

A shaman who trains hunger. It was a training course for realizing the sword.

Without going to hell.

Screaming at the zombie shaman, the teacher told me.

- Think of the longest time you've starved.

- I've been starving for three to four days...

Three to four days?

After hearing my answer, the teacher's reaction was absurd.

- Uh-huh. Tsk, tsk. This doesn't make any sense.

- It is the fault of the throne! I had hoped for a moment, but he was just talking nonsense.

And the teacher...... left me.

He left me glowing and roaring in the pit, and left without giving me a single glance.

- Ma'am, ma'am? Oh, my God, it's not like I'm starving! That's why you can't learn to do nothing! Yes!? Oh my…….

From seed to foot, I was eaten by a ball-less zombie.

“Hahahaha... ”

It reminded me of that time, and I laughed and couldn't bear it.

My master, the one who has been cold and harsh.

It was so hard to give you a flower.

Now that I've given you a smile, I'm jealous, and I've got someone struggling to beat me somehow, what should I do?

My lifelong teacher must have suffered a lot of jealousy and jealousy, and what did you do then? I can't ask you what you want to ask me right now, and I can't hear your voice, which is a bit too bad.

“Moonshine... I didn't do everything because I was strong from the start. ”

"......."

“I was just allowed a little more time than anyone else. ”

The serpent sighed and looked up at me.

Of course, he didn't understand me.

‘Unlike me. ’

Ah, I understood the mind of the viper.

Without a single lie or misunderstanding, I could fully understand.

It wasn't just because I was once in a position to envy others.

‘Because I heard.'

Not long ago, when the serpent howled at me with his own sword.

The appearance of a Serpent from a time I had never met and an Inquisitor who had not yet met me, sparsely and miraculously, flashed in my mind for a moment.

Not only the appearance, but also the voice they share.

- I know you're trying to fix me.

- Why?

- Because you can't be responsible for me.

I looked at the viper.

The serpent was still looking up at me. Beneath the dark, sparkling eyes, the thick lips clenched tightly.

But...

- In other words, we're friends and colleagues.

- Isn't that enough?

Even now, I hear voices clumping at the heart of the serpent.

I didn't awaken a new skill. My list of skills is still filled with footprints to prove my life. It's not like I'm suddenly inspired to read people's insides, so it's just, you know,

‘The traces of the tower. ’

Sequelae of being killed by a tower owner and peering into the trauma.

The owner of this tower embraces all the misfortunes and misfortunes of all life. God sees them all and remembers their unhappy moments. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions, no, countless human beings are implanted into the tower.

Riders suffer as much as they suffer.

When they groan, the runners also groan.

As such, everyone's trauma is the tower's trauma.

‘The moment I saw the tower's trauma...... I also saw the trauma of everyone living in this tower at the same time. ’

A tremendous amount of memory that a human being can't handle.

Therefore, I do not usually remember, do not remember, and live in oblivion.

‘But when the serpent shouts in the past...' '

It's starting to sound to me, too.

‘It's like watching the trauma of those who killed me. ’

The scene the tower saw, the wounds that were implanted in his heart.

I don't know if it really happened in the past, or in a world where the crystal was created separately, or somewhere in the future.

Ban Hin 'an.

I'm going to open my eyes to it.

“…… ha. ”

I made a fool of myself again.

This is the world the tower sees.

Just by encountering people, sometimes, if it was everyday to hear his cries and cries, I was saddened to think that was everyday for whom.

“What are you laughing at? ”

I shake my head to clear my head.

Then I looked down at the human in front of me.

"Moon-joo... Do you want to beat me? ”

Suddenly, the serpent stops.

I kept asking without hesitation.

“Be fair, if possible. You want to go one-on-one, with me, one-on-one, and float one-on-one with nothing else? ”

The serpent shouts.

“If so,”

Blood gushes from the Serpent's mouth.

“Then what will you do...! ”

That blood, I didn't avoid.

The serpent was down and I was looking down at him, so a few drops of blood spattered from the Serpent's jaw spattered my cheek.

“I'll give you a chance. ”

Just as I did not wipe out the rain, I did not wipe out the blood.

“Again, I wasn't strong in the first place. Time. It took a lot of time. The children I was with during that time, the children I gathered, became my family. ”

I grabbed the orb spear from his shoulder and pulled it out. Cough! Once more, the Serpent's body twitches and the blood bursts.

“And the astronomer has a way of making a lot of time. ”

I opened my lips slowly.

“On the 21st of 200 and six months. ”

“......? ”

“It's time for the Inquisitor to stand alone on the 31st floor. ”

Static.

Perhaps for a moment, the reader did not understand the meaning of what I said. However, his eyes slowly widened. The raindrops from the sky poured down on my hair and fell into the body of the serpent. Tsk, only after a few drops of rain did the serpent open his mouth.

“You mean, it can't be... I mean..."

“Yes."

I nodded.

“For 200 years or 300 years, stay on this stage alone like a heretic interrogator. Train and train for hundreds of years. Draw people in."

"......."

“And challenge me again. Moon Joo Chung.”

For hundreds of years.

Pulmonary tubing training trapped by time, not space.

That was the way I told the viper.
