The Live

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

A forest full of huge trees.

Midtown.

Yun Jae mutters, looking down at the top of the Grand Mountain.

“I've never been here alone before. ”

Even a team of ten rankers took a risk in the middle.

However, Yoon Jae strangely tried to enter the middle area by himself, but he didn't feel that it was so dangerous.

“...... You should have been around a lot. ”

It's been a long time since I've been on my own. When I think about it, there was always someone next to me.

I did it for two years. I fought the dragon, and I didn't feel lonely because of it. At that time, it was intense.

‘Alone……. ’

When I looked around, there seemed to be a regular.

After leaving the crowded group, you feel a strange emotion.

‘It's been a long time, I feel like this. ’

I feel alone.

I never wanted to feel it again. A long time ago, I felt the same as when I lost my wife and daughter and was left alone.

After work, after work, and an empty family returning alone.

I felt so lonely when I opened the front door and took off my shoes. The fact that my wife and daughter were not dying was the moment of heartbreak because it became a reality.

It seemed like I had forgotten that feeling for a long time.

When I walk down the road alone, I think again. I want to see my wife, daughter and two people's faces go crazy.

Yoon Jae tried to erase that feeling and muttered to himself.

“...... But this place is amazing. ”

The view from the summit of the mountain range, tens of thousands of meters high, was truly spectacular.

I'm surprised every time I look at it. Even the sunset setting that was far away was especially beautiful.

Yoon Jae, who was looking at the landscape for a while, soon rushed back again. You descend the mountain range and enter the middle zone.

The sun soon went down. The sunset was brief. The beautiful one used to be quick to set.

Fluffy...

It was night, and I sat on the street floor. You don't light a campfire. I didn't think I'd catch a cold, and I didn't need light.

However, I thought it would be nice if I needed some warmth. However, it was better to be a little cold than to light a fire and twist a bug.

Rrrrrrrrr

Rrrrrrrrrr

There were a lot of eyes around. There are a lot of monsters here.

They're staring at themselves.

We're not taking it easy.

‘That's comforting. ’

Show off your presence with a little bit of magic.

The monsters knew that Yoon Jae was not something they could do. That's why they can only growl like this, but they can't come at them.

From Yun Jae's point of view, the monster was a nuisance. There's nothing dangerous about coming forward, but resting is a distraction.

But once they showed their presence, they didn't even dare to come forward.

I sat on my back in a tree and fell into a deep sleep. The monsters approach you whilst you sleep, but you wake up every time.

I went to sleep for a couple of hours, then headed back out into the sunrise. It was the first time I saw it.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

Rrrrrrrrrrrrr

The number of monsters is growing.

They saw Yoon Jae and followed behind him. I didn't have a purpose. But I was being vigilant.

‘So much. ’

Now there were hundreds of them.

There were too many. Dozens of rankers were stuck and had to fight.

‘I'm not in trouble yet. ’

Yoon Jae soon took care of the monsters.

There were other things to care about.

“Maybe this way.... ”

A path to the land of demons and a path to the land of angels.

Head towards the center. It was a place where no path had been made yet.

Pull-

Yoon Jae laid out the map she had been asked to do.

It was a map of the intermediate areas explored by architects. Yoon Jae took a look at where he came from.

‘I'm pretty much where I am. ’

Yoon Jae was already out of the way.

Not unlike that, a few steps later reveals the target waiting for you.

“Is that you again? ”

It was a familiar voice.

Yoon Jae looks up at the tree.

Mara, a red-headed dragon, looks down at her with an uncomfortable face.

“That's the third time already. ”

The first time I saw Mara was when I fought Metatron in the middle.

I got help from four dragons at the time. Mara was one of the four dragons.

“You survived after all? ”

Scheech -

Tak -

Mara comes down with a light gesture. Even the leaves that were scattered on the ground were not shaken.

Yoon Jae was not so surprised. I was able to make it easy on myself.

Mara's eyes didn't look so good looking at her. I noticed that I was unhappy somewhere.

It was like you were supposed to be the one to die.

“That's it. Why, you don't like me being alive? ”

“Metatron's dead? ”

“He didn't deserve to live. ”

Yun Jae clearly said her thoughts.

A king who does not deserve a king. No, Metatron wasn't fit to be an angel, let alone a king.

As a human being, he wasn't even human.

“Really? You say the same thing about Galyan. ”

Galian was another dragon that stuck with Mara. Mara looks at Yun Jae with narrowed eyes.

“Then in the end, you're the only one left.... ”

Another disgruntled expression appeared on his face.

Yoon Jae asked without changing his face.

“But?”

“No, I'm just saying. Then what are you doing here? If it was... ”

“Do me a favor. ”

At Yun Jae's words, Mara asked with a ridiculous expression.

“Please? Please?" ”

“Why?”

“Did you come all the way out here alone to ask me something? ”

“Not you, to be exact, but one of the dragons. And I don't care if you don't do me a favor. I don't care if you're willing to kill me for breaking into the middle zone. ”

His voice was calm and full of confidence.

Mara raises her hands and feet.

She knew.

You can't beat Yoon Jae now. It would be the same for even the great Galyan.

Yoon Jae was not something one dragon could stop. Few dragons have to stand up to stop him.

“Do me a favor? It's annoying, but I'll let you know if you need to leave. ”

“I'm looking for someone. ”

“People? Who? ”

“Zahar.”

In the name Yun Jae said, Mara's face hardened.

It was an unexpected name.

“Are you serious?"

“Yes, the Zahar you call the monarch. ”

“Why are you looking for him? ”

“I'm next to him, right? What, weird? ”

When Yun Jae asked, Mara stared at Yun Jae's eyes for a moment.

I had no idea what I was doing.

She turns away, thinking about it for a moment.

“Come with me. I know the drill. ”

“I appreciate the directions. ”

Yoon Jae said as she turned her head back.

“And get rid of them, if you can. ”

Rrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hundreds and now thousands of monsters.

It was time to take care of it. Even Yoon Jae was a burdensome number.

All the monsters that I met on my way here were following me, and some of them were mixed with large monsters that were close to the black snake.

“…… Everybody back off. ”

Ooh, ooh-

Mara's voice echoes through the forest.

The monsters hear her voice hesitate for a moment and begin to scatter.

Yoon Jae could clearly see that.

The dragon didn't want the monsters to get hurt. In addition, the monsters didn't attack the dragons, but rather followed them.

Mara looks at Lu Jae, who scattered the monsters.

“Are you done now? ”

“Yes. I keep seeing things, but I'm better now. ”

“... Don't kill them carelessly. Because then we wouldn't be standing around. ”

The reason Mara pushed the monsters away was not for Yoon Jae.

It was more for the monsters. The numbers seemed to soon reveal their teeth to Yoon Jae.

But they don't know.

No matter how many numbers are gathered, Yoon Jae can't be defeated.

If Yoon Jae decides to fight, the monsters will die no matter how long it takes. Mara thought as she glanced at Yoon Jae who was following behind her.

‘One thing is certain.... ’

Go, go, go.

I felt that Mara's body was stiffened by the presence of Yoon Jae's body.

It was the force that flowed by itself even though Yoon Jae was unconscious. Mara seemed to know why Galyan chose Yun Jae.

‘You've earned it. ’

* * *

Yoon Jae moved behind Mara for a long time without saying a word.

Mara didn't even say a word to him that he didn't like Yoon Jae that much. It was the same with Yoon Jae, so there was no proper conversation between the two.

About ten days ago, Mara opened her mouth for the first time.

“Over here.”

“You've come a long way. ”

“Do you know the way back? ”

“I remember roughly. I even made a trail on the way here, so there shouldn't be any problem getting back. ”

“Really?"

The tour is over.

Mara sneaks up on the tree and says,

“Keep going forward. I don't know anything more than this. That's probably not just for me, it's for anyone. ”

“How far do we have to go? ”

“I don't know about that. ”

“I've never known the middle ground to be so big. That's about as far as two trips to the Angel Land. ”

The middle area was a little-known land.

A forest of enormous trees, and a boundary that separates the land of humans, demons, and angels.

This was all that was known about the intermediate region.

No one has ever gone deeper into the intermediate region than Yun Jae. There was no reason to come this far, and it was completely different from the direction of the land of angels and demons.

“This land, as you know it, is only a fraction. There are more than nine of these forests in the world, so you don't have to know them all. ”

“…… Looks like a lot of space. ”

There were gates to and from each city, even though the human land consisted of small and large cities.

Even those with exceptional physical abilities ran so far that they were difficult to get between cities.

It was also the land of angels and demons. However, it was quite a shocking story that the three lands were less than a fraction of the rest of the world.

Yoon Jae looked around for a moment and asked.

“Is there no dragon in charge here? ”

From some point on, I didn't feel a new dragon's gaze. In the middle of the region, dragons were responsible for guarding the area, even if it was not a pioneered path.

“Nothing. This is really the middle ground. ”

“For real?”

“You'll see when you get inside. Goodbye, then. ”

Whee!

Mara disappears, leaving only what she has to say. I had other questions, so I thought I'd catch up, but I quit soon.

She couldn't show me the way anymore. Listening to the story didn't seem to change anything.

If I cared about one thing, it was what it meant to be "real" in the middle. Yoon Jae paused for a moment and slowly began to move his steps.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

Ten days.

‘Quiet.’

You hear the sound of your footsteps clearly.

The sound of twigs falling on the floor, the sound of dry leaves breaking, and the sound of wind touching the leaves.

All of that sound was clear enough to be heard without being conscious. You hear no movement.

‘There are no monsters. ’

It wasn't just the monster.

There was not a single common bug. There was nothing so lonely as to feel this vast and vast forest.

It felt like I was crossing a river that could not be returned. I felt like I was being sucked into a deep, sticky swamp.

‘What is this? ’

Yoon Jae smiled and began to move his steps.

I walked the forest for a long time. I thought I'd rather get something out of it. Then I thought it would be nice to meet you.

I feel like I'm alone in the world. Or I felt like I was walking in a frozen world.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

I walked faster.

Is it because it feels like time has stopped?

I didn't realize how far I was walking.

After walking for a long time, I saw a different color than the green color of the forest far away.

"Temple"?

The massive architecture that sprang up to the top of the tree seemed like a temple.

Yoon Jae hurriedly started running. It was said to be visible to the naked eye, but it was quite a distance away. You don't know how long it will take to walk calmly.

How many minutes did he run? Yun Jae was able to reach the entrance of the temple. The tall temple looked similar to the one Yoon Jae saw in the first tutorial.

‘That's a big one. ’

Tall enough to look like a clan house in the skyscraper.

A huge statue stands at the entrance. Unlike several statues, the inside statue shows no human face.

Faceless statue? ’

A naked, faceless statue.

Yoon Jae looked at it with a curious face for a moment.

It was then.

“Aren't you coming in? ”

Unassuming voice.

Yoon Jae's head shook.

A middle-aged man with a short cut of black hair was approaching.

‘When…. ’

You didn't even think to come this close? It was unbelievable, even if he had been distracted.

Clean, shiny hair and a middle-aged look. White skin, unlike the appearance of older looking skin.

There didn't seem to be anything special on the outside.

No, actually…….

‘I can't feel anything. ’

I felt nothing from the man. There was no expression, of course. I looked at it with my own eyes, but I felt like I was looking at an empty air.

When I closed my eyes, I still felt like no one was there.

The man approached Yoon Jae and asked.

“Weren't you looking for me? ”

Yoon Jae was surprised at the man's question.

“Zahar?”

“Yes."

“Are you really Zahar? Monarch?”

“He's a monarch, but Zahar's right. ”

Zahar nods with a shy face. The expression "monarch" seemed to be embarrassing.

It smelled more human than I thought. There was still no sense of intelligence or existence, but the speech, expression, or reaction was no different than that of an ordinary person.

“You don't seem convinced. ”

“Actually…… a little. I didn't think it would be so easy to find. ”

“You were guided by the dragon, weren't you? He brought her to me, didn't he? ”

“Yes, but.... ”

“Can you believe it? So what should I do...? ”

Zahar thought for a moment and said:

“Okay, here's the deal. Would you like to take a look at the future? ”

“The future?”

Yoon Jae seemed to be saying something. But after that, I closed my eyes and looked into the future.

My eyes opened in surprise. I didn't see anything.

“Huh…? ”

“Don't you see? ”

“What is this? ”

I can't see the future.

I don't know what's going on.

Zahar said with a small smile.

“And that. ”

Zahar points to Yoon Jae's hand.

“It was originally mine. ”

In Zahar's words, Yoon Jae gives a curious look and looks at his right hand.

The chains that had been seeping into my wrists for a long time were illuminating little by little. Seeing the chains coming out again through the flesh, Yoon Jae was sure.

“…… I guess it's true. ”

“You believe me now. ”

Zahar still began to walk inside the temple with a smile on his face.

“Just come with me. It's been a long time for me, and I can't let it stand like this. ”

Zahar said that and began walking past Yun Jae to the entrance of the temple.

Yoon Jae, who was following behind him, was surprised that there was no footsteps coming from Zahar. It was like following a ghost.

‘It feels strange. ’

Following behind Zahar without a word, Yoon Jae looked around the temple.

Temples were generally similar to the structures they knew. Hundreds of tall staircases, an entrance to the staircase, and a huge dome-shaped space that leads into it.

Except for the statue that was erected at the entrance, everything was similar to the temple that was seen in the tutorial.

“What's so curious about it? It's a known structure anyway. ”

Zahar said as if he knew everything.

Yoon Jae asked with the same face.

“Were you watching that? ”

“Back then? Tutorials? ”

“Yes.”

“I was watching, then. ”

“It's not just then, is it? ”

I stopped walking and turned to look at Yoon Jae.

“Why do you think that is? ”

“Just, I had an idea. Not only that, but you knew I was guided by a dragon. ”

Yoon Jae's eyes were sharply floating.

Zahar, who was looking at Yoon Jae like that, curled his eyes gently and replied.

“Yes. I know nothing about you. ”

It was offensive.

It is the voice and the eyes that seem to know everything.

The veil that was covered in layers was peeled off. After meeting Zahar for the first time, the question came to my mind with confidence.

Yoon Jae raises his right hand.

No, actually, he lifted up the chain in his right hand.

“Were you watching me? ”

In Yun Jae's question, Zahar had no answer for a moment.

The silence followed. Yoon Jae did not insist on an answer.

After stopping for a moment, Zahar turns around and starts walking again.

“First, let's go talk. ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon Jae followed again quietly.

Zahar walked for a long time and entered a small room inside the temple. This structure was also noticeably familiar.

‘This is……. ’

“You know it here, too. ”

According to Zahar, Yun Jae nods.

Temple that entered in the middle. This room was similar in structure to the one you saw in the temple where the army-class Demon Veled and Lérazier fought.

It seemed as if the two temples had been put together. No, the scale of the temple was much larger than the sum of the two temples.

Drum-

Zahar swung his hand and the table and chair on one side flew in front of Yun Jae.

Zahar gestures as he sits on the chair with his butt together.

“Sit down. Can I get you something to drink? ”

“N-never mind... never mind. ”

“I'm not okay. It's been too long since I've seen anyone. You can't treat me like this. ”

Just-

As I flicked my finger, two cups of sand-smoking cars appeared in front of my eyes.

A refreshment appeared in between, Clump. Yoon Jae's eyes opened wide.

I've been to this side of the world and experienced a lot of surprises, but I've never been so surprised.

“What are you so surprised about? ”

“…… Are you really a god? ”

“Why?”

“You can bring a chair or a table using the skill of the mind family, but the skill of the creative family is……. ”

Yoon Jae shakes his head.

“I know it's impossible. ”

“Creation? No. ”

Zahar, who sat down one day, said, relaxing a sip of tea.

“I just brought tea and snacks somewhere in the world. You guys are capable of space travel, aren't you? ”

“That's it…. ”

I wasn't wrong.

Obviously, even though it was impossible to create oil from nothing, it was possible to move beyond space.

But why?

I felt weird.

Yoon Jae immediately shut up and sat across from Zahar. He stares at Zahar's face without taking his hands off the car.

He was looking for an explanation. Zahar immediately opened his mouth, making eye contact with Yoon Jae.

“Got it. I'll tell you. ”

“What happened? ”

“I had no choice. I don't want you to die. I had no choice but to look at it with interest. ”

“…… You gave this to me for that? ”

Yoon Jae once again raised his right hand and showed it to Zahar. The shackle had just reverted back into its wrist.

“Yes, that's right. And I told you to keep an eye out, not that. ”

“If this isn't surveillance, what is it? ”

“I just knew. Because you're wearing it. ”

“You just get it? ”

“Yeah. You're not always aware of that by breathing, are you? It's just that if you wear it, I know what you're doing. ”

In Zahar's explanation, Yoon Jae lost his words.

He just wants to know. What am I supposed to do? Like Zahar said, you have to consciously stop breathing.

“Don't worry too much. I don't know right now.”

“Now? What do you mean? ”

“Since it's all yours, you can't tell when you're wearing it. It used to be mine...... But now it's yours. ”

Completely yours?

Yoon Jae realized what he meant by that, just after the chain evolved.

It was a long time ago. From then on, it meant that they did not know what they were doing.

“Then how did you know I was guided by the dragon? ”

“We came all this way together, didn't we? That's within my reach. ”

“You have a good eye. ”

“Fine, then. Who am I?”

It sounded like a joke, but I had to admit it.

He has the Holy Grail much longer than he has.

“You stopped Abram? ”

Yun Jae suddenly recalled the fact that Abram had been beaten by someone with a shackle.

Zahar seems to think for a moment, then nods.

“Abram? Oh, that crazy wizard? Now I remember.”

“Yes.”

“Yeah. Too fast. I pressed it for a while. ”

“How many years have you lived? ”

“I don't know. It's been a few hundred years, but I haven't counted. ”

Abram's name as the worst Grand Wizard has been around for 200 years. If he's been around a lot longer than that, he doesn't know how long he's been alone.

“…… Human, right? ”

“That's right.”

“Now?”

“Their monarch. ”

Yoon Jae asked, knowing who they were, shining his eyes.

“Why did you choose me? ”

“You know the drill, don't you? ”

“Then you know what I want. ”

“I know why you came to see me. ”

The story became easier.

I didn't need to go round and round and talk about things from beginning to end.

“I want to destroy this world. ”

“I know.”

Dark-

Zahar places the cup of tea in his hand on the table.

“So am I. ”

“…… You too? ”

“Why did I choose you? So I guess that's the kind of choice you'd make. So I filled you in on those shackles, and I gave you strength. If you'd made a different choice, I'd be pretty disappointed. ”

“How can you be so sure? ”

“Do you know and ask? Of course……. ”

Zahar raises his hand up. In his hand was a book.

“Because I know you in the future. ”

Whee! Whee! Whee!

I quickly snatched the book out of his hand. It was Yoon Jae's diary.

The answer was enough, but I felt bad. It was like what was left of Yoon Jae's wife's belongings.

“Oh, boy. You must have offended me. ”

“…… Done. By the way, did you say you know me in the future? ”

“Yes. You've already met me. It's not in the journal. ”

The future self and the person you meet.

No, I don't know if it's human or not. However, Yoon Jae was accepted as another means of meeting with Zahar.

“I... what happened?" ”

The record of the diary was stopped at some point.

The continuing pursuit of angels. A day of running and struggling.

The last of the journals was stained with despair. And there was nothing that led to:

Then a car appeared, knowing its future self.

Yoon Jae asked about his future all the time. No, not until the journal, actually.

“I made you put your condolences before the past you, the present you. ”

“And?”

“I made things right. And it also made you stronger. I was an accomplice there. Because you need to do something very important. ”

“You mean destroying the world? ”

“Yes."

“With that in mind, why don't you do it yourself? ”

“You didn't win the temptation. ”

Zahar opens his mouth with a bitter smile.

“My eyes are turned to something called the Holy Grail, and I get drunk there and close my eyes. It was then that I saw the reality of the world. ”

“If it is real……. ”

“You've met the dragons, don't you know? You're guessing. ”

“…… Yes. ”

I wanted to meet Zahar to gain his confidence.

“The creation of the Holy Grail, and the creation of this world...... Is it really a dragon? ”

“A dimensional species called dragons, to be exact. ”

“Dimensional species?”

“A species that creates and lives in a world without dimensional redemption. They exist everywhere. And in your world, right? ”

Yun Jae nods at Zahar's question.

Dragon was a creature that had been known for a long time. It was also depicted as a giant dinosaur with two wings, or as a long snake biting a woman.

Apparently, they didn't exist only in the world they lived in. Everywhere.

“It wasn't the dragons who built the Holy Grail, to be exact. The Holy Grail is a relic that has existed for a long time. Dragons have no power to make the world. ”

“You mean the Holy Grail created this world? ”

“Hard to say. As a result, the things that were created and founded using the Holy Grail are dragons. ”

It was a complicated story.

It is easy to create the world with the Holy Grail, but ultimately the power that created the world comes from the Holy Grail.

“What is the Holy Grail? ”

“Almighty. Divine. Mysterious qualifications that are not explained in any of these words. The dragons serve their master as their king and as their god. On behalf of the Holy Grail, which does not exist, we follow a king who has a life and a self. ”

That's why Zahar is called the Monarch of Dragons.

“…… You weren't their monarch from the beginning. ”

“I am called their monarch only because I am the Lord of the Holy Grail of the time. Technically, it's Zahar they follow, not Zahar. ”

The existence of God is chosen.

So we follow the chosen God, and we create a world to choose that God.

That was the will of the existence of this world.

“Ridiculous. ”

As the veil that had been concealed gradually peeled off, Yoon Jae laughed as he learned the secret.

That's why the world is made.

“We know that the Holy Grail grants wishes. Isn't that right?”

“That's right."

“Then what happens after you make a wish? What about other people, angels, demons who were forcibly brought into this world? ”

“Even if we created a world through the Holy Grail, it takes a lot of strength to sustain it. ”

Zahar speaks with a bitter face.

“One life has more power than you think. What if those lives were hundreds, tens of millions, hundreds of millions? Eating away its power, the world fills its life again. This is the kind of world we live in. ”

“…… Why are you just watching? You said you own the Holy Grail. ”

Yoon Jae felt heavy inside.

I don't know when it's been going on. One thing is clear, it is at least hundreds of years old.

During that time, the world made by dragons has eaten away countless lives and maintained itself.

I didn't know what their true purpose was.

What is the reason for creating and maintaining this vast, rugged world?

I don't know and I'm not curious.

“With this power, I can do nothing. Almighty is the power of the Holy Grail, not me. ”

“Isn't that different from before? ”

“Who did you say built this system? ”

“Yong……. ”

“Yes, dragons. They are. How much do you know about them? ”

I didn't know anything. I was only aware that I was an ‘enemy' who had to fight.

Seeing Yoon Jae unable to answer, Zahar smiled at his mouth.

“Angels, demons, humans. A tribe with a head and a civilization that is superior to any intelligent being. The only ones who have crossed dimensions and realized how to create the world through the Holy Grail. ”

“Are you saying you're smart, now? ”

“Yes. Smart. Don't you think they have a safety net for themselves? I can't kill them. Not to mention killing him, but not to touch him. That is the rule of the owner of this world, the Holy Grail. ”

It seemed like a really tricky and unreasonable rule. If there were such a rule, Zahar could not kill the dragons.

And…….

“That's why if we're going to kill them, we have to do something before we get the Holy Grail. ”

It was a really difficult prerequisite.

Greatest power. The power I could get right now was the Holy Grail.

I can't believe we have to fight without giving up the Holy Grail. The hypotheses that were set in Yoon Jae's head were all falling apart.

“Ahhh-”

“Why, did you intend to fight them with the Holy Grail? ”

“Isn't that obvious? And of course, I thought it would be comfortable if I could. ”

“If that were the case, I would have done it already. ”

“One thing... ”

Yoon Jae asked me one last question.

“What was your wish? ”

“My wish? ”

“Yes. I was just wondering. If I have the Holy Grail, can I really see my family or can I bring the dead back to life? ”

“…… I think it's possible. ”

Zahar nods and replies.

But somewhere, his expression didn't look so good.

“But I'm sorry, I didn't get my wish. ”

“No wishes? ”

“I've lived my whole life just to get back. And at the last moment, I fell for it. ”

“Temptation?”

What temptation is he talking about? Yoon Jae looked at Zahar, wanting a little more explanation.

He raises his head with a bitter face. His face was filled with regret.

“Look at this again. ”

Just-

Zahar flicks his hand again.

Tea cups halfway filled with water again. It was a miracle and a gift that I could neither see nor believe.

‘It's amazing how many times I've seen it. ’

Tea water suddenly appeared before my eyes.

I heard the explanation, but it looked like creation. Yun Jae lowered his gaze from the tea cup and looked at Zahar's face.

“What's this about? ”

“What do you think I just did? ”

“That's it…. ”

Yoon Jae asked with a suspicious face.

“Really?"

“Yes."

Zahar smiles faintly. I didn't feel like smiling.

“Time, life, creation. Some miracles are impossible to handle. The Holy Grail deals with it, and I own it. God-like forces and existences that make the impossible possible. You have no idea how sweet that is. ”

They were stories that were not known in the murals.

It was stories that Zahar had discovered and experienced for hundreds of years. Yoon Jae asked with a complicated face.

“So...... that's what I'm going to do, too? ”

“Not all of them. It's literally a choice. Whether to use the power of the Holy Grail to make a wish or gain some dignity. ”

“Credibility?”

“Well, that's a big way to put it. I'm confused if I'm a human or a god. ”

“Is that really that glamorous? To be proud of yourself as a god? ”

“You'll know if you hold the Holy Grail in your hand. How sweet the temptation is. As a result, I did not overcome the temptation. ”

With a bitter smile, Zahar raises his cup of tea again.

“I doubt you can win. ”

I turned my eyes to something called the Holy Grail, and I got drunk there and closed my eyes.

This is what Zahar said before. He did not overcome the temptation of the Holy Grail.

Hororock -

Zahar starts tasting the tea with a relaxed face.

The horse disappeared between the two of you for a moment. Yoon Jae organized his thoughts and started drinking tea just like Zahar.

Lots of thoughts were intertwined in my head. Not only did Zahar look at me, but everything seemed strange.

‘The world was created. Holy Grail, Divinity. Dimensional species.’

“As expected…… the world must disappear. ”

“Have you been thinking about that? ”

“There's no reason for this world to exist, no matter what you think. No one I've ever met wants to be a god. ”

“You're right. Thank you so much for saying that. That's what I wanted, too. ”

“Then tell me. ”

Yoon Jae said as if he had made a firm decision.

“How to destroy this damn world. ”
