There Is No Salvation for Extras - Chapter 131
131 – The Eater of Dreams (1)
There was some commotion due to the joining of Han-gyeol and Hyeon-woo, but soon they began to approach the huge rose vine. –
“…I didn’t know it when I saw it from afar.”
“This is… A top, right?”
When I saw it from a distance, I thought it was just a tall vine, but when I got closer and realized that it was a huge tower pointing upward, I couldn’t hide my bewilderment.
“They look f*cking identical.”
“Do you know this place? Did you play some games too? “Do you have time left?”
“I cleared it as soon as it came out and beat it over 10 more times. “So you’re a hero, but you just played games without thinking about saving people?”

Of course, Sang-hoon and In-jun had knowledge of the game, and-
“Let’s enter.”
“Boss, is this really okay? Just by looking at it, it looks like a trap, right?”
“It’s a trap, so there’s a chance… but if that was the plan, I wouldn’t have even thought of setting something like this up in the first place.”
Except for Hyeon-woo, who shook his head and grabbed the doorknob when Eun-ji asked, knocking on the huge door as if she was feeling uncomfortable.
“…Wasn’t the boss even interested in the game? “This must be a recent game, but you seem strangely familiar with it.”
“I don’t know much about games, but I think I can describe the feelings of the Dream Eater who created this well.”
“It’s not just a test question, it’s a circle…”
Even if you didn’t have knowledge of the game created based on this place, you could know because you had knowledge of this world itself.
Furthermore, if they are going to meet the ‘result’ that Dream Eater is thinking about now, not only is there no need for a trap in the first place, but it is clear that she will be waiting for them up here-
Hyunwoo, who didn’t necessarily say that fact, roughly answered Sanghun’s question and opened the huge entrance door.
Kkiik-
“…As expected, it’s ominous.”
“It’s ominous. “It won’t be an ordinary exercise where you just walk up to the top.”
The door opens slowly as if to ask you to come in, even if you just push lightly without applying any force.
The heroes and villains looked at each other and took a step back as if they were uncomfortable, but when they saw Hyunwoo casually going inside, they took a step forward again.
Kwaaeng!
“aaah?! What, what?!”
Finally, when Yumi, who had been confused, came inside – the door suddenly closed.
“…Eh? “Where’s the door?!”
“Look at that. “This is a trap!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the door, or more precisely, to the direction where the door was, but instead of a door, there was only a wall like anywhere else.
While most people were frozen in embarrassment, Hyunwoo opened his mouth to explain, but-
“It would be better.”
“…Yes?”
“It means the monsters out there can’t come in here. Besides, you have to catch the Dream Eater to get out of here, so there’s no need to run away anyway.”
After checking on Hyunwoo, Hero, who had not opened his mouth until now, continued speaking instead, and everyone quieted down and began to calm down.
“…You’re quick to judge.”
“That’s because I didn’t just eat Hero Jjambap for free. Villain Guardian.”
What is contained in his gaze as he asks with a bitter smile – is it sympathy?
Hyunwoo was curious as to why he was looking at him with sympathy, but did not ask, so he quietly bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
Anyway, the current top decision-maker on the hero side, the one who had been working as a hero the longest, believed in his judgment and supported him, so when the students were convinced by his words, they expressed their gratitude.
“So, what should I do now? “I thought I could just climb the tower on foot, but when I saw this, I realized that wasn’t the case.”
He widened his eyes as if he had noticed that, but then he smiled and waved his hand and continued talking as if it was nothing.
Hyunwoo, realizing that the hero does not want to show that he is following the villain’s will, nods his head and looks up.
“Well, definitely. “It just looks like an open space with no stairs – but there is a way to go up.”
The top is wide open, as if there is no ceiling. But of course there is a way to rise above this.
When I lowered my head and looked down, there was a strange magic circle that no one could approach because it looked suspicious. There was something like a switch there, so you could say it was exactly the same as the game.
“…You’re not trying to press this suspicious switch, are you?”
“To be exact, you have to go inside that circle and press it. “Only those who will go up.”
“f*ck.”
Injun nodded and responded to Hyuna, who frowned as if disapproving, and Hyunwoo ignored them and went straight to Hangyeol.
If this was made in detail like a game –
“So – Hangyeol.”
“Why?”
“Jihyun, please let me go. “Leave it here.”
There was a setting in the game where retired companions were left to rest here, so wouldn’t that still be the case now?
“…Did you leave me here alone, thinking something would come out?”
“Then what, are you hoping to get caught up in the fight with Dream Eater? Who knew that the villain would take them hostage?”
“But there’s no guarantee that you’ll be safe even if you stay here, right? As you said, it’s a place created by Dream Eater.”
“But-“
However, Han-gyeol expressed a negative opinion that could not possibly have known that fact, and Hyun-woo tried to persuade him as if he knew that, but-
“Then I will stay and watch.”
“Oh, then me too.”
Hero and Sang-hoon, who were watching, raised their hands at the same time and pledged to protect Ji-hyeon.
“…Yes?”
“It’s a bit hard to say this, but honestly, I’m the most useless person here.”
“Why you?”
“Alumnus Lee Ha. “I don’t have any bullets, so what can I do here?”
They are confident that their basic combat power is stronger than most of those who have just awakened their abilities or are in the awakened stage, but even so, it is not enough to help them fight Dream Eater.
The two of them said they would stay here and then looked back at Hyunwoo and smiled.
“Well, I’ll still wish you good luck. “If you lose, it’s over anyway, so I have no choice but to pray.”
Ting, and do it.
Coins bouncing and falling in the sky.
“Numbers are victory. “The picture is defeat.”
Sang-hoon grabbed it out of the air and grinned while clenching his fist, then held out his fist to Hyeon-woo-
“…What is the result?”
“It’s up to us – something like this. You think you’ll win, right? Then the number would have come out.”
“What is that?”
Hyeonwoo smiled and made contact with his outstretched fist, then turned his back and entered the circle.
“Are you really going? Really?”
“Well, just trust me.”
“…This looks like it was drawn with blood. Should I take some?”
“Don’t touch it. “If it doesn’t work, we’ll be in big trouble?”
Repentance’s villains follow Hyunwoo,
“…What are you going to do?”
“I have to go. Oh my gosh, my son… Don’t you collaborate with a villain, and your friend turns out to be a villain?”
“Be loud and go up quickly.”
Soon the students followed suit and everyone gathered in a circle.
“…Oh, that’s right.”
Before activating the switch for the last time, Hyunwoo looked back at Sanghoon as if he had suddenly remembered-
“Brother. “Do you remember the mission you received this time?”
“…What? Suddenly? “First of all, it was a mission to protect Su-ah.”
“-At the scene?”
“Okay. “Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”
“Umm, really?”
In response to the reply, he smiled and nodded.
“Eunji.”
“…Yes?”
“Do you know where Zero went?”
“Zero? Didn’t he go somewhere else for another mission?”
Yes, that’s right.
“Did you guys hear that too?”
“Yes.”
“Of course…?”
As expected, this is-
“Why, is there something on your mind?”
“No, that’s enough. Let’s go.”
Hyunwoo shook his head, finally activating his switch-
Cheolkeong. Kiiiiing-
“W-what is this?!”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you.”
The circular floor, which looked like it could be called a typical magic circle, suddenly sank slightly downward.
“This is an elevator. Don’t fall?”
“Wow?!”
Soon, it began to rise at a high speed, rising toward the open sky.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Well, in the end, two of us fell out.”
Dream Eater, who was looking at them while grumbling, soon quietly opened his eyes and sighed.
“No, it will come up soon, so will everyone join us?”
She got up from the white chair, looked around at the skyscraper prepared on the roof of the huge labyrinth, and walked towards the open floor –
Kikigigeek, bang!
“Puh, puh-ha! “I thought I was going to die…”
“Why are you dying? “I’m going to kill you.”
“Uh, Mr. Hero Yacha? “I’m sorry, but can you please let go of my arm?”
I arrived at the elevator just in time and encountered these people who looked somewhat sloppy but were not easy at all.
“…Where am I?”
“Where are you?” It’s the final boss room. “Now there has to be a huge giant here.”
Is it because of the suddenly rising elevator? Except for Hyunwoo, they all look around in disarray.
But Hyunwoo seemed to have known she was there from the beginning, and quietly moved forward while holding her sword –
“Dream Eater.”
“Welcome, Hyeonwoo. Long time no see?”
“Ah, it’s been a damn long time.”

As if they recognized her having a conversation with Hyunwoo, the others also stiffened their expressions and immediately took up a fighting stance.
“Hmm. Three boys and three girls. “There’s a child, there’s a woman who doesn’t understand the situation… I guess it’s not as fun as waiting a long time?”
A relaxed tone of voice even though there are eight people who have reached 10,000 even though they are rotten. However, her eyes were cold and sunken, and the murderous spirit she exuded was unmistakable as that of a ‘real’ villain.
“Why don’t we take a look at your skills?”
Dream Eater, the eater of nightmares.
With those words, he spread his arms.
