Chapter 057

Lee Soo-yeon had to play an important role in this operation.

Her role is to prevent Horus, the apostles, and Horus’ guild members accompanying them from escaping.

“But what are you going to do? There’s no way I can hide… .”

“are you okay. “Sooyeon has the skills.”

“My skills?”

I pointed to the ballpoint pen in her hand.

The skill she gained while being an eyewitness to the myth, ‘space separation’.

“That’s enough.”

Su-yeon Lee, the recorder of her previous life, had similar abilities.

space of records.

A place permitted only to recorders.

The skill names are different, but the effects are almost the same.

A skill to hide oneself in a recording space cut off from the outside world.

-I feel completely separated from reality. Would you like to take a look? What happens?

In my past life, Suyeon Lee personally showed me how to enter the space of records.

I can’t tell you how surprised I was when I saw it disappear before my eyes in an instant.

I wasn’t just surprised by the sudden disappearance.

I didn’t even feel any change in mana during the process of her disappearance.

A stealth technique that I, who was already a worn-out hunter, could not even detect.

It disappeared in an instant and reappeared a while later.

I didn’t notice her presence at all until she disappeared and reappeared.

It was my first time like that.

She smiled brightly as she looked at my surprised expression.

Then, I wrote down my story of what I witnessed there and handed it to them.

-take it. This is your story as I saw it when I walked in.

She recorded every detail, even the surprise I had when I saw her.

When I was surprised to see a post that even recorded what kind of facial expression I made, I added a word.

-If you don’t write this down, you won’t be able to get out of that space. Those are the conditions and costs for using that space.

Soo-yeon Lee’s spatial separation will not be much different now.

-Not even the gods know about this skill. So, we can write down records about them as they are.

I vividly remember Soo-yeon Lee proudly saying this.

“Do you know how to use spatial separation?”

“I know.”

“Do you know the effects?”

“yes. “I even experimented on my own.”

“That’s enough. You must set up Arachne’s web and completely hide your presence.”

“Well, I know what you mean. “You’re saying you’re going to catch birds flying in the sky like flying insects with this spider web, right?”

I answered by nodding my head.

“By the way.”

Suyeon Lee asked, looking at me with a questioning look.

“You seem to know more about this ability than I thought.”

You won’t understand.

Because I know her abilities much better than myself who gained them.

Regardless of whether you believe in me, you might be curious.

“There used to be someone with similar abilities.”

“… is it so?”

“yes. “I said it was a skill that allowed me to enter the space of records.”

“Did you say he could also enter the space of records?”

“yes. “I was also told that in order to enter that space and come back out, I had to write down a schedule and hand it over.”

“… … .”

Lee Su-yeon was startled, as if she had hit the nail on the head.

“Where is he? “There are a lot of things I want to ask my senior in skill.”

I saw Suyeon Lee for a moment.

Her face was full of curiosity.

He seemed curious about the fact that there was someone with the same skills as him.

Where are you?

Suyeon Lee is in front of me now.

However, Lee Soo-yeon in my past life and the Lee Soo-yeon in front of me were completely different beings.

“Now we are in a place where we can never meet again.”

It was true that they were people we could never meet again.

He was someone I couldn’t meet unless I went back to my past life, or even if I did.

Because the world before the return was actually destroyed by the gods.

Now, I am here to avoid having to face that kind of future.

It’s not because of the great, grand goal of protecting humanity, but because I don’t want to lose the people around me like I did in my past life.

That’s just the reason.

“ah… sorry.”

Suyeon Lee bit her lip and didn’t know what to do.

“it’s okay.”

“It brought back painful memories.”

I didn’t lie.

It’s true that we can’t meet again, and it’s true that we parted ways to a place of no return.

They just didn’t say that there was a regression.

I changed the topic to break up the awkward atmosphere.

“Now Sooyeon’s role is important. So, you have to keep your spirits up.”

“all right.”

“Don’t worry about fighting. “I and Jormungand will take care of that.”

Jormungand, who was listening to that, stuck out his tongue.

-It’s like birds flying in the sky, it’s a mouthful.

If it’s Jormungandr, it’s okay to say that.

Because the divinity he possesses is strong enough to rival that of a god.

“If it’s an unavoidable situation, don’t kill the guild members right away.”

-What is the reason? If even one of them ran away, wouldn’t it be trouble?

“We should at least talk. “I don’t know if I can tear anything off.”

-I get it. You can control it yourself.

It’s nice to see you so confident.

Horus gathered his strength one last time with his apostles before moving to the address delivered by the envoy of the Nightmare’s followers.

Horus simulated the spell from the letter he had received yesterday from the apostate several times on his own.

There would be nothing better than that if you could complete it without having to meet disgusting apostates.

I turned it over and over again in my head with hope.

The situation, location, and magic spell formula were also slightly changed.

However, no matter how hard you turn it, the result is a huge explosion.

There was an explosion strong enough to blow up a small mountain.

If such a noticeable explosion occurs… .

‘It won’t end with just a warning.’

My head was pounding.

Even though we attacked the order all night long, no clear solution was found.

This is one of two things.

Either the cult leader cleverly left out an important part of the spell, or there are other conditions for completing the spell.

‘What on earth is that?’

Even he, the greatest wizard, couldn’t know.

“Horus, are you sure you want to go?”

First Apostle Radames asked.

“That’s right. “There is no other way.”

“But it could be a trick.”

“Radames, are you afraid?”

“… “Not really.”

“Then why do you do that?”

Radames said, licking his lips.

“I feel uneasy about something. “My senses are warning me that this is a trap.”

“I’m worried for no reason. Do you really think that I would be bullied by those kind of idiots? “I’m going with you guys?”

“That’s true, but… .”

Second Apostle Igor spoke next to Radames, who hesitated to answer.

“No matter what happens, I will handle it. “Not even the apostates would dare touch Horus.”

Armed with absolute loyalty to Horus and great strength, Igor always absolutely obeyed Horus’ orders.

“It’s nice to see that.”

Horus laughed softly.

It was then.

“Horus, I have learned about the location the apostates spoke of.”

Kim Young-ah, a new apostle from a far-off Oriental land, visited Horus.

“It’s not too late. “What kind of place did you say it was?”

“It is said that this is where the Abyss was once opened.”

“Was it the Abyss of another world god other than the night monster?”

“That’s right. Perhaps the last piece of their spell is the mana of the twisted dimension created by opening the Abyss?”

Among the apostles, she had the greatest magical knowledge and came up with her own reasonable reasoning.

Manara of a twisted dimension.

‘That would be troublesome.’

To use the twisted mana, you must tear the dimension and open the Abyss.

In order to seal the Abyss that was already created when the dimension was torn, it is possible to open and enter the closed Abyss.

There is a clear purpose of sealing, and a punitive force is organized to prepare for an emergency.

However, tearing up a dimension to open a new Abyss was a different story.

That was no different from joining the other world’s gods, so it should never have been done.

‘Even if I give up the title of sun god… .’

As originally planned, all apostates had to be exterminated.

Because once the Abyss is opened, there is no turning back.

Horus looked at his apostles.

“If they insist on opening the Abyss, kill them all.”

“All right.”

That much needs to be prevented.

Horus, who completed the final maintenance, took three apostles and twenty guild members and headed to the meeting place.

The remaining guild members were placed in a temporary hideout prepared for the investigation in case of an emergency.

If something happens to the main unit, they will go up to Seoul and request support.

“It must have been a famous battlefield in the past.”

Horus looked at the city in shambles.

A city that has become dilapidated because people have not been able to visit it for a long time, and a forest where sparse bushes have died due to the erosion of the magic and poison spewed out by monsters.

Should I say that I am an apostate?

There were few people, and even the atmosphere was gloomy.

“I don’t think there are any special traps.”

Horus looked around at the words of the apostles.

Piing-.

His left eye glowed and surveyed the entire forest.

There was nothing special other than the mixture of mana and demonic energy to create a gloomy atmosphere.

The demonic energy was not severe enough to require caution.

It was a type of magical energy erosion that often occurs in places where the Abyss was created.

It is a natural phenomenon that lasts for 10 years if no special purification work is done.

“Be alert to your surroundings. “You don’t know where someone will come from, so wait.”

“All right.”

The ruined city gradually disappeared and the trees became more and more dense.

“You came sooner than I thought.”

It was the apostate who had found their temporary hideout.

He stood in front of Horus with a leisurely smile.

“Are you alone? “Where is the religious leader?”

“… “You will be a little late.”

“You arrogant. “It’s so late for humans to have an audience with God.”

Igor took a step forward and growled.

“Please wait a moment.”

The man who didn’t even blink at Igor’s scolding lowered his head.

“Why are you late?”

Only after Horus’ question did the man raise his head.

“You are preparing important magic.”

“It’s important magic… . “Are you thinking of opening the Abyss?”

The man flinched at those words.

But he said it with a smile on his face.

“No way. “We also know how to keep the line.”

“is it.”

“Horus, are you planning to open the Abyss?”

“no. “If you guys are going to do that, I’m going to kill you right away.”

“… okay. All right.”

It was then.

The man lifted his head up and opened his mouth.

“Oh, I guess I’m ready.”

“Is the cult leader coming?”

Horus lifted his head after him.

Pure white lines stretched across the dense forest of trees.

“no. “The leader of the night monster will not come.”

The man’s voice changed in an instant.

His voice, energy, and even his attitude toward himself changed.

As if it were someone else.

“who are you?”

Horus made eye contact with the man and felt a shiver run down his spine.

“Who is it? “You are the one who came to hunt.”

And the man held a sword in his left hand and a hammer in his right.

It was a weapon with a familiar energy.

“Hephaestus… ?”

no way?

“Did you kill Hephaestus?”

I realized that the god-slayer that the gods were looking for had appeared before my eyes.

“that’s right. That’s me.”
