Chapter 431
Chapter 431
I can’t feel a single bit of mana in the picture. Looking at it from the outside, I thought it might really be a painting.
However, in other words, it was evidence that the place where the body in the painting is located is different from the current space.
If the substance of the painting is in the same space, each other’s existence can be felt, but if the substance is in a different place, nothing can be felt.
“Then, are you saying that the other person did what he is doing by hiding in this painting?”
“To be precise, my boundary is the ability to manipulate space. It’s a tremendous power among normal hunters… but what the opponent is using is power that is one level higher than my ability. …It’s the ability to manipulate dimensions.”
It was summarized in one word, dimension manipulation ability, but in fact, that ability requires multiple powers.
‘I’ve heard from Master.’
Yoo Won-hak, the teacher of Shin Yoo-seong, climbed to the top of the tower. Among them, there were monsters that easily exceeded the level 7 danger.
– I’ve seen enemies with the ability to manipulate dimensions. Most hunters think that monsters with strong powers will be able to move easily, but that is rather an illusion.
Yuseong Shin recalled the explanation Yoo Won-hak had given him. Then I could understand at once what was happening.
“Then the opponent… has fulfilled the two conditions necessary for dimension shifting. And now I’m looking at all three.”
Shin Yuseong calmly told the terrible information. However, what surprised Yura even more was the fact that Yooseong Shin knew the conditions for dimension shifting.
“Do you know about dimension shifting? It’s hard to find data, and students won’t be educated…”
However, there was no way that Shin Yoo-seong, who was stuck in Musin Mountain, had anything like that. All of Shin Yoo-seong’s knowledge was handed down from his master’s experience in combat.
“Why do weak monsters often appear at the gate? I used to think about it when I was younger.”
King Kwon’s teachings began with that question.
– A gate is a natural passageway. However, there are rules for moving between dimensions.
Dimensional movement requires rules that must be followed. There are 3 rules in total.
“And the answer is dimensional resonance. dimensional passage. and catalyst. It was under these three conditions.”
“that’s right. A naturally occurring gate satisfies all three of them.”
Yura listened to the walkie-talkie handed out to Shin Yuseong earlier.
-Ah, can you hear me?
The walkie-talkie delivered voice accurately in a space where even a pocket did not work.
“To use an analog analogy, dimensional resonance is similar to frequency. Because the gate phenomenon itself is caused by the fact that the wavelengths between dimensions match and cause cracks, and the power that cannot move distorts space-time.”
But resonance itself means nothing. The important thing was the passage that made them recognize each other’s dimensions.
More important to dimension shifting were passages and catalysts.
“…This makes it clear. The opponent did not give their strength for the sake of the senior, much less came to quietly take the life of the senior.”
“What is that…”
“Why is the banshee being controlled by the opponent? Why did the survivors survive without a single casualty?”
Yoo-ra shuddered at the story of Shin Yoo-seong, who seemed to have realized something.
“When the gate occurred, she sent the banshees to capture the survivors. In the process, she used paintings as a medium to create space…” “
The purpose wasn’t simply to want mana for a meal. There is no need for a being with power above level 7 to do so.”
Yura put the puzzles together one by one. The banshee sent by the evil god gathered the humans and captured them in the Delta Tower, and the evil god made a contract with Yura and gave them strength.
He hid his identity and hid himself, and when he felt Yura’s presence, he locked himself in a space of another dimension as if he had been waiting for it.
“Senpai’s case is the same. Why did the opponent give strength to you? Why did I wait until I got to the Delta Tower?”
“…ah.”
Yura drooled.
Shin Yoo-seong was right. I missed this simple truth in the process of self-torturing that all of this was my fault.
“Why… didn’t I know? There’s no way the evil god can be satisfied with just a few citizens or one 6th-level hunter.”
Shin Yooseong nodded.
The evil spirit created a passage, kidnapped people, and prepared a catalyst called Yura through a contract. All these uncomfortable conditions were rituals and contracts.
“The opponent’s purpose is clearly [dimensional movement] itself. The goal is to materialize into the world we live in in another dimension.”
The puzzle is put together.
At Shin Yoo-seong’s explanation, Yura gritted her teeth and glared at the huge painting.
“So you’re trying to sacrifice me… to destroy the world? I thought all the misfortune that had happened around me was because of me!”
Yura made the barrier like a sawtooth and threw it. The barrier made a roar that could only be heard at a construction site and tried to tear the painting apart.
But
the drawing swallowed the jagged barrier like mud or swamp.
– Foolish human, you broke your promise!
– How do you break the contract?
Upon recognizing Yura’s change, the voices of an old man who was indignant and a young girl who was sad could be heard in the painting.
– The Queen granted your wish.
– Our mother… gave you strength.
In the picture, the goat’s horns are sticking out. A girl wearing a white veil walked out. Yura and Shin Yoo-seong took a fighting stance, but the black goat and the girl seemed unwilling to fight.
– …Now it’s your turn to keep your promise. Please give me back my mother’s power.
The girl reached out to ask for ‘something’ back. Obviously, that was Yura’s life.
“You said you were going to sacrifice me, did you think I would nod happily if I said that?”
Yura opened a barrier and imprisoned the goat and the girl. If it was a threatening enemy, he would have attacked, but he did not feel any combat power from the other side.
– Foolish human. Don’t you see that this whole situation is your self-inflicted destruction?
– The reason we came here is because of Mother’s merciful heart.
– If you resist to the end, the Queen will come personally.
Yura’s prediction was correct. They were envoys who came to convey the words of the mother and queen, the evil spirit.
“Fortunately… we rescued most of the survivors and seniors haven’t been eaten yet. Without a catalyst, it would not be able to manifest itself properly.”
Blue waves rippled as Shin Yuseong wrapped himself in a black dragon robe. And next to it, when Yura did that, he stuck to it.
“sorry. Meeting an ugly senior and being a level 7 boss from the start… Both of our lives are in danger.”
“thank you. It will be a good experience to attack level 7 from the beginning.”
What remains is the procession of the evil god.
The girl trapped in the barrier chanted like a spell as if possessed by something.
– Life is the reincarnation of eternity and the bondage of curses. Our Mother will break the chains and set you free forever.
After the girl’s spell ended, a long arm crawled out of the painting.
– The day when 2 suns and 2 moons rise. Two dead will recite the poem of the end.
When the black goat’s murmur was over, this time the other arm crawled out of the painting.
Clink-!
The giant hand broke the barrier and grabbed the black goat and the girl. As the barrier that could withstand the collapse of the building shattered as easily as glass, Yura let out a drool.
“…It’s ignorant power.”
Shin Yoo-seong sensed the opponent’s strength just by extending his hand out of the picture. Being in the same dimension, I could feel it clearly.
The Red Dragon Sardonyx was not captured by battle, and Louis, the Witch of Winter, had the help of her colleagues and the goddess Lorelai served.
It was almost the first time that they had faced each other head-on like this.
‘The biggest problem is… it’s an urgent situation, so there’s too little investigation. I can’t predict what kind of attack they’ll come up with.’
However, sacrificing Yura’s life and incarnating an evil spirit was an option that Shin Yoo-seong did not have from the beginning.
If it’s a power that even the comrades next to you can’t protect, what is the meaning of that?
Kwajak-!
A face popped out of the picture and swallowed the girl and the black goat in one bite. The goddess, death itself, looked at Yura with a wide smile like a painting.
“…Mortis.”
Facing the enemy head-on, Yura finally uttered the opponent’s name.
“It’s a name that means death in your dimension. She was an ordinary goddess, but now she has become an evil god because the people who believe in her are evil…”
If Sardonyx and Lewis were dragons and witches, what they had to deal with this time was a demon from another dimension.
– ───────.
Mortis looked at Yura and let out an incomprehensible sound.
“Hide behind my barrier-!”
I don’t know what kind of attack it was, but Yura opened a barrier for now. It was a complacent idea that if the enemy’s attack was mana, they could survive by spreading the barrier.
However, the barrier did not work.
“ah?”
Yura’s stomach was neatly pierced in the shape of a circle.
“Ahhhh…”
Yura intuitively knew. It was not physically attacked. Yura’s body disappeared somewhere in the shape of a circle. This was a curse, not mana.
‘Is it Kamikakushi?…’
It must be a curse with a different name as Mortis came from a different dimension. However, there was a similar form of curse in Japan.
However, other ghost-type bosses are curses that make you lose your way, but Mortis’ chest was on a different level.
‘I can’t feel the mana… from my body anymore.’
Mortis made the mana-producing part of Yura’s body go missing.
‘This… overwhelming?’
I never thought I would defeat the evil god Mortis. However, Yura had also experienced level 6 bosses many times. I never thought I would feel such a difference in power just by going up one level.
Mortis murmured once and his body flew away. I didn’t even know what would happen if I uttered the next curse.
“I can’t win after all…”
Yura muttered in a voice filled with despair. However, Shin Yoo-seong, who watched all this situation, did not break.
Far from giving up, he calmed down Yura very calmly.
“There is no such thing as having to win.”
The reason why Shin Yooseong can be calm is that he is alone, but he is not alone.
– Yoo Seong-ah. How to avoid an insubstantial attack. Aren’t you curious?
Right now, in Shin Yuseong’s head, someone very reliable was teaching him how to attack.
