Episode 114

“Is this the god of the other world who created the Abyss?”

Yulia asked, looking at the wriggling lump of dust.

“That’s right. “Illusion is the god of hallucinations.”

Illusion.

A god from another world who shows hallucinations to others, slowly encroaching on them, and eventually turns them into his prey or servants.

Starting with sight, hearing, smell, and taste.

A perfect hallucination that makes people think there is reality, and the power to manipulate the other person’s senses at will.

‘It hides in the dark and stimulates fear in living things.’

A god from another world who causes despair and frustration to destroy others.

Because of that power, his Abyss remained undestroyed for quite a long time.

‘So it came as a huge disaster.’

Thanks to this, a saint named Julia came to the attention of the world.

She prevented the disaster for a short time, and later shared Illusion’s expected strategy to completely defeat Illusion’s Abyss.

It was Julia who discovered that the lighthouse keeper’s flame could communicate with illusion.

She had been researching illusions here for a long time, protecting them from creating more victims.

She figured out the illusion strategy just before the disaster occurred, but no one listened to her.

That’s right.

Who would believe a nun who just lives near the Abyss?

It was a time when gods who did not descend were looked down upon as non-existent and worthless.

Therefore, nuns who worshiped gods who did not descend were not respected religious ascetics as they used to be.

No one believed her, and disaster struck.

‘If even one person had believed what she said, the disaster wouldn’t have happened.’

Even in her past life, the power of illusion did not work on Julia.

The reason was simple.

Because she was blind.

The illusion’s ability to deceive the senses from the beginning and gradually dominate the five senses was not possible.

So, Yulia was able to remain fine even next to the Abyss of Illusion.

Then why is she able to walk around safely?

That was because she looked at her surroundings with other senses instead of sight.

Julia said it was the eye of God.

I don’t know why she, who did not receive God’s blessing, was able to gain such strength.

Even at that time, she had such mysterious power even though she had not awakened or received power from God or a god from another world.

-They felt sorry for me because I couldn’t see since I was born.

Julia considered it a blessing from God.

Not a god who descended on this world, but a spiritual being she believes in.

Can you feel the energy around you even in the dark?

If you see her moving around without any inconvenience, that strength must still be in her.

What would that illusion of a lump of dust look like in her eyes right now?

I saw an illusion that was shrunk by the lighthouse keeper’s flame.

It looked like a lump of black dust and was struggling to find the darkness.

However, the movement of Illusion, which was hit by the lighthouse keeper’s flames that exploded like gunpowder, was not very fast.

Procrastination.

It was squirming as if asking to attack at any moment.

“Mr. Yulia.”

“yes.”

“How do you see the illusion now?”

“A black power is condensed inside. “I don’t think you should touch it carelessly.”

“Then this must be a trap.”

“… “Do you believe me?”

Yulia, startled, looked at me and asked.

“of course. “I’m the only one who doesn’t feel anything in this terrible hallucination.”

“… “You are a strange person, Brother Dojin.”

No one would have believed her.

So, you probably react like that.

“Julia, don’t ever touch that lump of dust.”

While he was warning and taking out a wooden stick from Kibisis, Julia, who was watching from the side, asked.

“Why did you set off those fireworks when you knew the main body would not be attacked?”

“It’s to make room for us.”

Even now, the lighthouse keeper’s flame was burning fiercely like a firecracker.

“And the damage has already been done to the body of the illusion.”

“yes? What is that… .”

“The influence of the illusion has weakened to the radius of light where we are standing.”

I pointed to a space 10 meters in diameter illuminated by the lighthouse keeper’s flame.

Yulia looked at me after hearing my words.

“That doesn’t mean… .”

“you’re right.”

It is true that the small black lump moving in front of your eyes is an illusion, but it is not a perfect answer.

because.

“All the darkness within the Abyss is the illusion itself.”

Because we have already entered the Abyss and the illusion.

“Do you mean all this thick darkness?”

“yes.”

“But this is so…” .”

There was oiled cotton hanging from the end of the tree I took out of the kibisis.

They were all Abyss by-products obtained from Choi Joo-man, a black market fencer.

The perch was made from a tree that only grows in the Abyss, and the fibers obtained from Athena’s tailor shop were filled with oil containing mana and rolled up.

If you light this end on fire with magic.

[The Pharaoh’s Eyes magic is recommended.]

[Level 1 Flame Magic: Fire. A small flame rises.]

Good luck!

A torch filled with mana that would never be extinguished even by the illusion’s interference rose up.

-Keeeeeeek!

A scream was heard in the darkness.

It felt as bad as scratching a blackboard with a wire.

“Horrible… “It’s a sound.”

Julia frowned and said.

It seemed to be even more painful because she was blind and had sensitive other senses.

“It certainly seems like your method is working.”

Julia said to me with admiration.

These were all methods that Yulia had taught the raiding party in her previous life.

Good luck!

-Keeeeee!

As the fire is lit and the area of ​​darkness is gradually removed, the power of the illusion becomes weaker.

“But isn’t this the reason I came?”

“There is something else Yulia needs to do. “It’s the most important thing.”

“What is that?”

Good luck!

I lit a new torch and placed it on the perch, still looking into the wide, dark darkness.

“Therein lies the core of illusion that makes up this world. “You have to find it.”

“Do you mean me?”

“yes. “It’s Yulia.”

In the darkness where you can’t see an inch ahead.

I had to find where the core of the illusion was inside.

‘If only I could find it.’

You will be able to completely defeat Illusion.

In her previous life, she found the location of the illusion even though she was not blessed by God.

Thanks to that, I caught Loki’s interest, and I also believe in Yulia’s power.

“There is plenty of time. “It will take a few more days for that torch to go out.”

“Don’t monsters come? When I heard the story, it was clear… .”

“It will come soon.”

Since his territory has been invaded, he will send his minions to eliminate the intruders.

“Don’t worry about that.”

I alone was enough to fight the monsters that were coming.

“If we both do our best in our roles, we will be able to successfully attack.”

so.

“Trust me and find the core of the illusion.”

“… all right.”

More than 30 torches were placed to brighten up the nearby area.

By the time it was over, the lighthouse keeper’s flame had done its job and was extinguished.

-Ugh… .

-Save me… Give it… .

-come in… . To this place… .

-Run away… please… .

A voice sobbing in fear was heard in the darkness.

It had a human voice, and soon became the cry of a monster, and even the sound of a machine operating.

Their sounds got closer and closer.

Okay!

It got bigger and bigger.

-Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Those who are possessed by hallucinations and become part of the illusion.

They were engulfed in darkness, and even the clothes they were wearing had turned black, and they were glaring at us with their eyes wide open.

The figure coming out of the darkness and approaching us was like a shadow reflecting light.

“Concentrate. “You must find the core of illusion that maintains this darkness.”

“Yes, got it.”

I placed the Sea King’s Trident next to her as she concentrated with her eyes closed.

bang!

[Blessing of the ocean currents]

The seawater that surged there surrounded and protected the three meters around her.

“Whoa.”

Holding Gleipnir in my hand, I glared at the crowd of followers of Illusion.

Humans, monsters, otherworldly creatures, and even robots.

In this world, all the beings that had been consumed by illusion came out of the darkness.

The goal is Yulia and I, who are lighting the fire here.

Those who seemed to have no ego came to us, simply following the commands of illusion.

Sreung.

I pulled out Gleipnir with my right hand.

The sword that cut down Lee Hyeon’s illusion that had blocked me.

And in my left hand, I held the hammer of Hephaestus, which has now become my favorite weapon.

I drew a line on the floor with Gleipnir.

“Traffic is prohibited behind this line.”

I won’t let a single one pass.

-Krrr!

-porridge… Howdy… .

Monsters from another world rushed at me.

I cut off the head of the giant monster running from the front.

thud! Degurrr.

The fight began with the heavy head rolling on the floor.

* * *

“Whoa.”

Julia looked at Dojin’s back wiping the sweat from his head.

Even though she couldn’t see, she could tell how much Do-jin was struggling just through her senses.

Cut with a sword, strike with a hammer, and then push away an approaching enemy with your feet.

When the enemy gathers, the ground splits apart with a tremendous roar, and then the sword’s trajectory cuts through the air gracefully, causing several heads to fall.

Dojin dealt with endless monsters coming from all directions with only the weapons in both hands.

-You’ll be fine, don’t worry.

Dojin, who said that, kept his promise.

Although she didn’t know much about the Awakened’s fight, she knew very well how difficult it was to face numerous enemies alone.

Even this place is in the middle of the Abyss.

The headquarters of this world.

There, I couldn’t help but realize the greatness of Dojin, who single-handedly defeated the followers of the god of the world and monsters.

Saying that I would stop it alone was not a bluff.

-If we all do our best in our roles, we will be able to completely conquer this place.

‘I also have to do my job.’

Julia concentrated her mind and stared into the darkness.

Although she was blind, she was able to see thanks to the grace given to her by the God she believed in.

It was possible to infer the appearance of a person and the sense of space through the way blue particles tangled together in the air.

However, because I couldn’t see clearly, what exactly that meant was all just speculation.

In the Abyss of Illusion that she entered with Dojin, there were very few blue particles that she could see.

Rather, the black particles I had never seen before were moving on their own.

At first I thought it was just darkness.

But no.

The black particles receded from the torch lit by Dojin, and cast a dark shadow over the approaching monsters.

She guessed that the particles were some kind of medium that constitutes an illusion.

The black lump of power that I saw when I first came here also contained similar particles.

‘What is that?’

Although it was my first time seeing these particles, I could sense that they were not friendly at all.

Particles with great power were hostile to her and Do-jin.

Julia found the place where the particles were most concentrated.

Julia’s eyes landed on a space in the darkness where particles were particularly concentrated.

“Brother Dojin, I found it. “I think I know where the illusion is.”
