Episode 115

When Julia said she thought she knew the location of the illusion, I took out a new torch from Kibisis and burned it.

The mana was much purer than other torches, so it was saved.

He used the branches of the world tree Yggdrasil as a perch, and hung a cloth blessed by Athena at the end of an ash tree with pure mana and sprinkled the lighthouse keeper’s flames.

Grumble!

A flame bloomed to chase away the darkness.

It was not an ordinary fire, but a flame filled with mana that could disintegrate the shape of an illusion, emitting a blue light, illuminating the darkness.

-Keuuuu… .

-I’m dying… .

The approaching minions of Illusion burned up as soon as they were exposed to the flames.

Some monsters couldn’t even cross the border of light.

“What is this sound? “It sounds like a human voice, but it’s terrible.”

Julia, who could not see, asked while listening to the voices of Illusion’s minions crying in the darkness.

“These are the last voices of those who were consumed by the illusion of illusion.”

“… By those who were eaten by the gods of the other world, are you talking about people who fell into hallucinations and entered the Abyss on their own?”

“yes.”

“… … .”

Julia closed her mouth.

“Do not worry. “They won’t harm Yulia.”

“all right. “I will only trust you, brother.”

Yulia took the lead, and I stayed close next to her and took out the monsters that came trying to kill us one by one.

-Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .

Killing a monster that was once a person.

Push!

Kill the first monster you see.

Wow!

We went further and further in, destroying what appeared to be broken machinery.

-Save me… . Sister… . Don’t be fooled, Mase… yo. this.

A desperate voice was heard in the darkness.

Now that hallucinations weren’t working, I felt determined to approach it in a different way.

“It’s a familiar voice. The voice of someone who often visited our church… .”

“The person Yulia knows is already dead. “It’s just something else in the shape of that person.”

She turned her head toward the voice and stared into the darkness for a moment.

Do you see something?

She looked at that place for a moment and bit her lip.

“… That’s right. “It’s not someone I know.”

I don’t know what the owner of the voice looked like in the darkness, but Julia spoke in a heavy voice.

“Let’s go quickly.”

“yes.”

“How far do I have to go?”

“It’s not far. “It seems like the space here is smaller than I thought.”

“Do you see that?”

“yes.”

At her words, I raised my head and looked at the spot where I had lit a fire earlier.

Now it has gone so far away that it looks like a dot.

But Julia said it was narrow.

‘Julia definitely feels it.’

The reality of the Abyss, where only darkness exists.

What she said may be true.

“You can see it.”

If you can see there, there will be no need to waste any more time.

“Exactly in which direction and how long should I walk?”

“Does that matter?”

“Yes, of course. “Only then can we escape this maze-like place.”

“… “You know something.”

I answered with laughter.

‘The rumors were true.’

The Abyss of Illusion was much narrower than expected, and there was nothing there.

And without Julia, we wouldn’t have even been able to attempt to conquer that narrow Abyss.

‘Was that the reason why the raiding party sealed it right away without getting more byproducts?’

After completing the Abyss raid, a guild is usually faced with a choice.

Maintain the Abyss and collect its by-products to benefit the guild, or immediately close the Abyss to prevent future threats.

Usually, if the risk was low and there were many by-products such as magic stones or monsters that existed within it, the Abyss was maintained and used as a business to collect magic stones or materials.

However, if it was not commercially viable or would pose a strong threat in the future, priority was given to sealing it immediately.

Until now, I thought the reason I closed Abyss of Illusion so quickly was because of the danger of Illusion.

In fact, the Abyss of Illusion was successful in its attack only after suffering nearly a thousand casualties.

It is said that people who went crazy seeing hallucinations in the dark killed the people next to them, and to prevent further damage, a bloody murder took place.

What if the Abyss was not closed quickly because the damage was large, but because the dungeon was small?

‘You might not get as much as you think.’

It didn’t matter if there weren’t many by-products.

Wasn’t the goal to be a by-product of the dungeon in the first place?

‘My goal is to get Yulia, the woman who will become Loki’s future apostle, on my side.’

A guide that helps you reach a clear destination even in the dark.

But Yulia’s true abilities are not limited to that.

So there is no need to be greedy about the by-products of the dungeon.

After I finished thinking, I looked at Julia.

“Please keep one thing in mind. If you believe me and follow me, we can both get out of this Abyss alive.”

“… all right. There is no way to get to this point. But you have to tell me clearly.”

“Of course.”

After hearing my answer, Julia pointed in one direction.

“I’m going to walk northeast at the same pace for 12 minutes and 30 seconds, then turn west. and… .”

“great. “You can tell me the next route as you go.”

I continued walking in the direction Julia guided me.

In the meantime, I turned here and there as if I was navigating a maze.

Every time she turned, she reminded herself which direction she should move.

Just like navigation.

Julia moved forward without hesitation, as if she could see everything in the darkness.

As this happened, Abyss’ resistance became stronger.

The minions in the darkness rushed at me more fiercely, and I passed the torch to Yulia and cut down the flocking monsters.

“Here we go.”

I shined the torch where Julia pointed.

There was something crawling around there that looked exactly like the lump of dust I saw when I first came in.

“Is that the core of the illusion?”

“yes. It took a long time to find it because there were similar things lying around. “They all contain particles that appear to be powerful demonic energy, but this one had a different reaction.”

“The rest is probably the same trap we saw at the beginning.”

“Maybe so.”

It was then.

-Keeeeee!

A lump of dust exposed to the light made a loud noise.

Okay!

It began to grow in size by absorbing the darkness that filled its surroundings.

“That’s correct.”

Not only is it a huge Abyss, but growing up like a giant is just a hallucination, and the otherworldly god actually looks like a lump of dust.

How dumbfounded it must have been to see the punitive force.

Increasing the size was a bit of a struggle.

I guess it means I won’t die easily.

Even at this moment, the illusion was engulfing the darkness in the Abyss.

As if swallowing it would make him stronger.

As it swallowed more darkness, the area illuminated by the branches of the World Tree and the lighthouse keeper’s torch became narrower.

Still, I didn’t feel afraid.

“Mr. Yulia.”

“Yes, brother.”

Julia’s voice was trembling.

She must be feeling it too.

That things are not going normally.

“What do you see in Yulia’s eyes right now?”

“… “I can’t see anything.”

“Can’t you see now the things you saw when you first came here?”

“yes. “Suddenly the surroundings were filled with darkness.”

Among the senses through which she perceives this world, the sense of mana is also included.

However, if everything around you is filled with black magical energy, it would be natural for you to be unable to see anything.

“Then the location of the illusion won’t be visible.”

“yes. “It suddenly disappeared.”

“Then there is only one way.”

“Which one is it?”

“Please say a prayer.”

“pray… You mean? “In this situation?”

“yes.”

“Who are you telling us to pray to? The god I believe in? Or Zeus? Odin?”

“It doesn’t have to be God.”

Julia looked at me as if she couldn’t understand what I said.

“You can pray to yourself, Julia, or you can pray to me. “It doesn’t matter if you pray to the god you believe in.”

“Then what…” .”

“Isn’t the content of the prayer similar? “Please ask for the strength to overcome this adversity.”

“That can be called praying…” .”

“It would be possible for Yulia. “It was thanks to Julia’s strength that we were able to come this far.”

pray.

It was the behavior I hated most in my past life.

The act of simply hoping that someone else will do something for you.

I had the prejudice that relying on others would not change anything.

It was like that in my past life.

However, it was Julia who showed that prayer is not meaningless.

She conquered this illusion through prayer, and later gave people courage in many wars.

Together with Lee Hyun.

‘It was like that until Loki helped the otherworldly god in his past life.’

“I will trust you, Julia.”

“… … .”

The ability of illusion is to show an illusion to the opponent.

This Abyss and the strange phenomena that occurred around the Abyss were all due to his abilities.

This entire Abyss was an illusion itself that deceived our five senses.

This illusion of increasing size is also a kind of illusion.

The plan is to somehow trap us in this Abyss and make us like minions in the shadows.

However, his ability did not work on Julia, who saw the world through something other than her eyes.

So I was able to get to where its core was.

Now all that remains is one last step.

For that one step, a light was needed to completely defeat this darkness.

Not the lighthouse keeper’s makeshift flame, but a strong flame that could damage even the core.

Julia knelt down and put her hands together.

She began repeating a prayer in a low voice.

and.

Whoa!

Her body began to glow.

As if God had answered her prayers.

The darkness cleared and I began to see.

Inside the small, dark Abyss, the core of illusion deceived countless people into hallucinations and lured them into the Abyss.

I swung the hammer at a lump of black dust that was only a little bigger than my fist.

-Oh, stop… !

I cried out with my last struggle.

Okay!

The body of the illusion was crushed by the hammer.

It was a vain end for the god of this world, which was called a disaster.

With the disappearance of the thing, the darkness disappeared, revealing a narrow space the size of a playground.

As she said, it was too small a space to be considered a world.

The space inside the gray brick building had no exits or windows to see the outside.

It was just a brick.

As if this place was the whole world.

I was watching the Abyss of Illusion.

“… Brother Dojin, who are you?”

Julia asked me.
