Handbook (2)

The figure of a handbook contemplating the four directions, coiled as if coiling itself on top of a huge altar rising high.

Above the firmament of the altar wriggling in a spiral, space cracks as if it were breaking, and beyond that, a vast sea of ​​darkness is peeped out.

At the same time as the well was opened, the great Ascendant awakened from a long slumber and was summoned to reality.

Just by simply existing under the same time and space, an irresistible sense of intimidation oppresses and binds the whole body.

A presence so shocking that even Lennok, who was manipulating the wizard in the middle of the stairs, had to hold his breath.

Lennok, who was watching the scene through the mask, muttered involuntarily.

“The snake guarding the well… … .”

Who can think that it is not simply a metaphorical expression, but a word that clearly indicates the essence of the handbook.

I thought I didn’t lightly listen to a single word of the religious leader I heard back then… … The thought itself was an illusion.

The Ascendant’s Handbook was not a human being, but a giant, intelligent serpent itself.

“Crazy bastard… … .”

“Did you wake up the Ascendant!!”

“That… … The consul of the southern continent, who was called the god of the jungle… … ?”

Unable to speak properly, the superhumans gritting their teeth and stepping back slowly.

The Reding Revolutionary Army, the Transcendental Enlightenment Corps, and the Head Law Warlords. As if they had promised to kill Lennok, the people who had been rushing at him until just now widened their distance.

A transcendentalist who challenges ascension to the pinnacle of predators.

It is because the human body standing in front of it is instinctively appealing that it is no different from its prey.

Not even humans or sub-species with similar intellect, but pure spiritual beings themselves.

Was it born in the body of a beast, and by polishing and polishing himself, inheriting the mission and acquiring the qualifications equivalent to ascending to heaven?

In this human-dominated world, Lennok probably won’t be able to comprehend what happened before that giant serpent rose to its current position.

That’s why Lennok could understand why the information about the handbook was so little-known.

Reaching level 9 with a human body is unrealistic, but who can understand that a monster that is not a sub-species has reached that level?

The story that one of the monsters who lived in this jungle obtained the miracle through astronomical odds is hard to believe even if it is told in words.

Only those who have encountered the handbook and recognized its presence can understand it.

The mightiest and greatest predator in this huge jungle.

The Ascendant, who could not rise to the top of the food chain and transcended even the basic law of the jungle, appeared before their eyes.

Pyeonram quietly looked at the figures of such people, and slowly tilted his characteristic sharp pupils down.

“It is a landscape in my memory… … .”

Unlike other superhumans, the snake did not use its strength.

It was unbelievable that he could only twist the tongue of a reptile and spit it out, and he spoke clear human language.

Lennok didn’t know it, but it was evidence that she had at least once tried to communicate and socialize closely with humans.

“Where am I now?”

“… … .”

Everyone held their breath at the Ascendant’s low monologue.

Those who did not understand the meaning of the words were terrified, and those who did understand the words questioned.

Lennok, too, noticed the strangeness of the handbook and listened.

‘You’re saying things that don’t match. Is the timeline out of alignment?’

According to the clown, this huge ancient ruin and altar were built for the purpose of offering alms to the Ascendant Handbook.

No matter how much time passes and only traces remain, shouldn’t we remember the shape and purpose of the plaza?

However, the overwhelming Transcendentalist who now suppressed the audience seemed to have no idea where he was.

“I thought I was having a dream that never ends… … . Am I awake now… … ?”

Naturally, the direction of the question was toward the clown who was still standing in front of her.

The person who seems to have opened the well at the end of the altar, an appearance that is far from human. A strange mana flowing from his body.

The existence that greeted Handbook for the first time. In a way, it is natural that the next question is addressed to the clown.

However, the clown’s answer that followed was completely different from what everyone expected.

[Where is the dream and reality, what does it mean?]

where is this What caused the handbook to wake up? Why did you open the well?

The clown tells the handbook nothing. He only whispered in a smirking tone with his burning eyes streaming down.

[Wouldn’t it be up to you to decide where to stand on the borderline between dreams and reality?]

“You are trying to mislead me… … .”

The huge snake slowly laid its head down and closed its eyes.

As if trying to bring back a long forgotten memory.

But that was for a while, and Pyeonram opened his eyes with a look of regret and muttered slowly.

“But you are not wrong. I can’t remember many things… … . All I know is that the two of you are away.”

[…] … .]

“Thousand and true… … . I can’t smell it anywhere on this planet. Has the moment we have hoped for and feared finally arrived?”

Lennok laughed bitterly at the transcendent perception that he couldn’t believe even after hearing it with both ears.

Are you saying that he sat in the middle of the jungle and checked all the life reactions of the Ascendant?

Hearing the voice of the handbook, which had collapsed somewhere, the clown began to sign quietly.

[Where is the end in the cycle of life and death?]

A truly bold act of chanting a spell in front of an ascendant.

However, the handbook was staring at the clown in spite of being undoubtedly aware of it.

[But if you want, I think I can help you wake up from the dream for a while.]

“… … A dream?”

[Kihihi, do you think it’s real? This lousy landscape where the city and civilization you cherished and loved were destroyed and abandoned?]

“… … .”

Above the silenced handbook, even at this very moment, Leya’s song resonates.

While shaking the entire plaza, on the contrary, a tone that quietly permeates the heart embraces the handbook.

As if the songs I’ve been doing so far were just a warm-up process, the sound decreases and the density increases.

A quiet hum that echoed as if it had been prepared for only one Ascendant.

I listened to the mysterious tone that resembled the sound of a flute as if I was possessed by a handbook.

The clown whispers without missing the gap and completes the hand sign.

awesome… … !!

[I understand, but I want to pretend I don’t know. The desire to wake up quickly from a nightmare is no different even for a small creature like me.]

With those words, dark green flames rose from the clown’s fingertips.

The flame swaying slowly between the five fingers is much larger than the body of the clown, but in front of the handbook, it is as small and precarious as a mere candle.

However, from the moment the flame started to rise, the pupils of the handbook began to sway along with the flame little by little.

[After falling into a comfortable sleep, you will wake up from your dream like a lie and come back to reality… … .]

“… … .”

The behavior of a clown whose intentions are incomprehensible.

The other superhumans who watched him with bated breath gritted their teeth and spat out swear words.

“So crazy… … . What the hell are you thinking?”

“Looks like he’s going to act like a clown in front of the Ascendant.”

“Do you think that you will be able to keep your life for a little while longer?

No matter how crazy you are, do you think you’re going to play pranks in front of a transcendental person like that?

Others, who did not understand the clown’s actions, spat out dizzying curse words in the confusion.

Lennok, who belatedly realized what the clown was up to, let out a dejected laugh.

“Are you thinking of tricking the Ascendant into casting illusions… … I’m pretty sure you’re crazy.”

Somewhat detached, yet calm, the clown’s words and actions. Leya’s voice continued to resonate even when the situation had reached this point.

And surprisingly, the ascendant’s reaction to the series of events seemed to be shaken.

Considering the abilities of the two, only one conclusion could be drawn.

The clown intended to cast a phantom spell on Pyeon-ram to deceive Gye-baek’s perception until the moment he entered the well.

The arrogance of deceiving those who dare to ascend to the 8th level of the hierarchy.

Who can dare to assert that the idea itself is not a delusion that has spread to madness?

But what was even more surprising was the fact that the attempt itself did not appear to be in vain.

The snake’s pupils, which had been quietly gazing at the clown’s flames, rotated slowly at some point and then began to close slowly.

Wow… … !

At the same time, the overwhelming presence that used to press down the entire square fades little by little and begins to change and breathe.

The miracle that a mere 8th-tier illusionist is successfully performing magic against a completed ascendant.

It is an unbelievable fruition even after seeing it with my own two eyes, but there is no way that this kind of thing is happening without any reason.

Lennok inwardly guessed the causal connection and nodded.

‘It’s clear that the memory of the handbook is not intact. At that level, he must be suffering from oblivion close to a curse.’

The religious leader said that the snake guarding the well had forgotten its mission.

The story of a blood spirit tribe who forgot about it while immersed in a given mission.

A message that everything in the jungle has lost its meaning as the time of the snake goes back.

If the set of contexts all point to similar information, the answer is obvious.

If the handbook wasn’t just suffering from forgetfulness, it’d be if he fell asleep long enough to remember what he was doing.

If the clown and Leya were aware of that fact and were planning to actively use it.

It may be possible to realize the delusion of enchanting ascendants at the boundary between dreams and reality into reality.

Through Raya’s song, Pyeonram’s spirit is forcibly maintained in a calm state, and Pyeonram misleads himself into accepting the clown’s magic.

A reckless gamble that could never be attempted except for this fleeting moment when I just woke up and my memory is unclear.

The clown was trying to succeed in a way no one else could think of right here and now.

“Right… … . Was it all a dream… … ”

The flames of illusion that the 8th tier illusionist chanted completely and lit up.

It is a kind of local-scale area in which the whole twisted image of a clown is compressed and materialized.

Beyond the extent of deceiving and twisting reality, the clown’s own gias amplified the technique to the limit, reaching the point of playing around with cause and effect.

True genjutsu is not about forcibly blaming and coercing the opponent.

The culmination of contradiction elaborately completed to the point of accepting that he wanted phantom magic himself.

Reversing the perception of illusion itself and making the other person wish for it completely in their heart.

The handbook’s huge pupil slowly closes, and its huge head begins to rest between the altars.

“It was a terrible dream… … . I don’t want to do it again… … . Wake up soon and go to my children… … I want to go back to my children… … .”

[I am still waiting.]

the clown whispered softly.

[After you sleep comfortably in your dream, you will be able to return to reality.]

“Yeah, I hope so… … .”

The body of a huge snake wraps around the altar and sinks as if asleep. It was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.

A miracle that forced even those who couldn’t understand the clown’s ulterior motive to trick the Ascendant into falling asleep.

The very moment when the handbook’s head seemed to be twisted as if asleep between the huge rings of the altar.

The snake murmured with its eyes closed.

“But, child, it’s been hundreds of years since I haven’t had a dream.”

[…] … yes?]

At that moment, the handbook’s tail disappeared on the spot and struck the body of the clown standing on the altar.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

The clown’s elongated body jumped at the speed of sound and landed dozens of meters below the altar.

[Kahak… … .!!]

Looking down at the clown’s body, which trembled while letting out an incomprehensible scream, Pyeonram opened his eyes.

At the same time, a huge pressure that was incomparable to that of earlier pressed down on all sides and began to explode the atmosphere.

A storm raged.

OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

“I loved everything that remained in the passing time.”

The Ascendant who was leaning on the altar raised his head and murmured.

“Children buried in the sand of memories. Everything that was missed and missed.”

“Have you failed… … !!”

I don’t know what the reason was, but Pyeonram refused the clown’s illusion and stood up.

Realizing this fact, Lennok immediately left the spot and used the blink spell to distance himself from the altar.

They find the body of a clown who was hit by the tail of a handbook and stuck among the rubble.

“This… … .”

The elongated, curved demon-like shape remains intact, but the upper and lower body are on the verge of being severed.

In fact, it is doubtful that he is even alive.

[Geez, gee… … !!]

As Lennok paused, the clown raised his eyes with blazing eyes and let out a grotesque scream.

Crunchy!!

At the same time, the elongated body is joined and regenerated as if it finds its place on its own.

“… … .”

It was to the point where I felt as if I was seeing a monster rather than an illusionist.

The clown muttered blankly.

[Time was tight, but it failed… … . Didn’t I just have to wait for support?]

“what?”

The moment Lennok tried to ask again, the sky in the jungle that had been dyed black turned completely black.

At the same time, screams and roars began to quickly close the distance from the other side of the overgrown bush.

[Haaaaaa!!!]

A terrible feeling, as if tens of thousands of people were screaming at the same time.

Even if you’ve experienced it once, it’s hard to endure. Or rather, is it because I have a clear sense of its existence?

If Lennok did this, it was obvious how the other superhumans would react.

“It’s Gyebaek… … . The corrupted monster has arrived… … !!”

“No no… … . already… … . this is not… … .”

“It’s different from the plan, it’s different… … . This sound… … me… … me… … .”

[I’m calling uuuuuuuuuu!!!!]

The bodies of several superhumans who couldn’t stand it were dyed black, and at the same time, they were dragged across the forest with chains around their necks.

Immediately after that, the ground was completely hollowed out and there was a shock as if the ground was going to collapse, and a huge black orb appeared from the outermost periphery of the plaza.

[Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]

The terrifying appearance of tens of thousands of people whose entire bodies were stained black, struggling with arms and legs.

There was no intelligence anywhere in his appearance, and only a desperate scream resounded as if he had been covered with all the grudges and hatreds of this world.

At the same time as the well of the handbook is opened, it sets the direction accurately and covers thousands of meters at once.

In the process, the nature of the jungle is damaged and broken to the extent that it is difficult to restore it again, but that is also a minor problem.

A huge snake that has struggled to open its eyes and a monster that has turned into a living mass of geas face each other.

The plaza, which seemed infinitely wide even when hundreds of people were playing freely, seemed narrow in an instant when the two ascended faces met.

Handbooks and Encyclopedias.

There are now less than ten people left on this planet, transcendentalists who have qualified to challenge the ascension.

One forgot her mission in the endless flow of time, and the other went mad under the weight of an irresistible fate.

Even though they had the power and qualifications to reach the pinnacle, they were still alive and moving.

Even Lennok forgot to breathe and just stared at the two Ascendants face to face.

How many people have been looking forward to and waiting for this moment?

How many people secretly hold their breath and steal this moment?

With a huge well overlooking the open sea above your head,

The two transcendentalists, whose bodies and minds were broken, faced each other for the first time.

[I’m going to have to completely revise my plan… … .]

A clown shuddered and murmured, emaciated on one side of the rubble of the plaza.

[The handbook refused to go to sleep. A war of ascendants will break out.]
