Chapter 812: The Last (45)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
‘That reminds me of the past.’
I recalled when our tutorial party took full control of the Blue Guild, or to be more precise, Kim Hyunsung took office as Guild Master.
I remembered the days when I was working so hard that I thought I would die of overwork.
Back then, I had to pay attention not only to all the duties in the guild but also to Lee Kiyoung’s growth as an alchemist, clean Kim Hyunsung’s mess, and control Hayan’s mental condition, who might burst at any moment.
‘I didn’t even have time to sleep properly.’
I tried hard in my own way to convey that I was useful somehow, but regardless of that, it could not be denied that he entrusted me with a heavy workload.
I couldn’t even remember how many positions I had, so what else would I need to say?
I didn’t have time for myself, and of course, I didn’t get a good night’s sleep.
‘Honestly, it was too much.’
“If it wasn’t for manager Kim Mi-young…”
I would’ve found myself in real trouble.
When I thought about it that way, his current behavior didn’t seem so out-of-character, especially when considering the frozen heart of the regressor in the beginning.
I thought I completely melted his cold soul, but there might be parts that didn’t completely thaw.
I was sure I did, but the aftereffects of his Doom state might have remained…
Although I tried to convince myself through that, it was creepy to see him thinking of leaving the burden to the Song Villain.
‘Even I didn’t think about that.’
Wasn’t that an act vile enough for even Satan to send a standing ovation?
No matter what he thought and how he behaved, it was undeniable that his attitude would bring good results to me.
Kim Hyunsung thinking like that was no different than giving Song Sookyung more power.
Not surprisingly, the Song Villain began smiling widely.
‘You must be happy.’
Sookyung was noticeably convinced that he had been recognized, that what he had prepared had worked and that he had brought Kim Hyunsung to his side.
Now that he had heard so many encouragements, it wouldn’t be strange if he kept that look on his face. He was trying his best to hold back his laugh.
-Hah… haha… Ha ha ha ha ha!
Immediately after entering the room alone, he started laughing like crazy.
-Hahahahahahahahaha!
Yes, enjoy it.
-Were you watching? Were you watching?
Yes. I was watching.
“I can see and feel everything.”
-The Blue Guild Master asked me to take the Honorary Cardinal’s place.
‘I don’t think he said that. And he’s probably asking you to just take over the job.’
-He said he believes and asked me to do my best.
“What did I say? What you want will come true.”
-You don’t know how overwhelming it was when he said he trusts me.
“It isn’t over yet, is it, mortal?”
-What do you mean by that?
“Even if you said the god of sunset is favorable to you, it doesn’t mean you are connected with him. Whatever judgment he makes of you, you can never replace the Son of Light.”
-…
His expression changed right away. He started looking ferocious, like a concubine jealous of the queen or a typical villain in a story.
-…
“His eyes and heart will make you whole.”
-Yes. You said I needed his eyes and heart… With that, I’ll be able to go one step further. That way… I can be whole…
“Right. That’s how you can be perfect. You can achieve what you want.”
-Only with that…
He seemed to be nervous now.
‘I really ruined someone.’
-All that’s left is his body… Everything else is ready.
‘You really turned into a demon, Song Sookyung.’
The Song Villain couldn’t be considered sane, but…
“It’s a natural behavior.”
“Is that so, Belial?”
“Aren’t human minds inherently weak? They are shaken even with the smallest things, and they constantly change with the smallest words or actions. It won’t be easy for them to recognize that they’ve changed, and even if they notice it, it’ll probably be too late by then.”
“You’re speaking as if it wasn’t because of his contract with the demon.”
“I will not deny that there is an influence. We enjoy the lowly human emotions. We enjoy setting up an environment in which they can change and inducing them to do so. I’d say it’s an eternal life of entertainment. Isn’t it the same for you?”
‘No… I’m not like that… necessarily…’
I enjoyed it in some cases, though not always.
“There are some who do not change, such as the woman you consider to be your soulmate. People like them are numb. They’re insensitive to change and do not feel guilty for their feelings or thoughts. There are times when they comfort themselves, but those moments are rare. They don’t change. The average person is usually not the one who eats them but the one who gets eaten. They become increasingly engrossed in negative emotions and sink in the dark until they can no longer escape.”
I remembered Hyunsung’s characteristics.
“…”
“How to control the change is also a task given to the contractor, but that guy seems to have chosen to accept it instead. Haha. He judged that such a choice was better than being overwhelmed by inferiority. Since he’s satisfied, he mistakes it for happiness.”
“Since I sold hope, there is no way he wouldn’t be happy in terms of buying it.”
“That’s right. That makes sense. So…”
“Yes?”
“The preparation is over, right? The stage is set up, and the characters seem to be ready…”
‘He really hates waiting.’
It was like a child who wanted to open the gift box quickly.
“It’s not us who should pull the trigger.”
As always, it wasn’t our side that would start the play. Since I did the preparations, the other side had to be the one to signal the beginning.
“I see.”
“Yes. Jihye needs to move first.”
That was a reasonable idea. The Song Villan might have a similar thought. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to take Lee Kiyoung’s body.
The Blue dungeon had grown into a State dungeon, and the members merged into them. There was no way it would be easy to break through the place guarded by the final boss and the hidden boss.
Since he already failed once, he would have to be a little smarter the second time. They needed at least a justification to get Kim Hyunsung or Jung Hayan out.
‘The best outcome is if Jihye does something.’
I wasn’t referring to anomalies popping up all over the continent, but a big event was needed. Maybe…
“I think we’re almost all there.”
“Hmm…”
“She’s probably about to do it. I can’t wait to see what Jihye has prepared.”
She said she would destroy the continent, so I wondered if she prepared something with a pretty strong impact. No, if she really intended to destroy it, she wouldn’t do something sloppy.
Wouldn’t she do something that would cause mass confusion across the whole continent?
It was impossible to say that the loss of the World Tree or what was happening on the continent wasn’t a big deal, but if it was Jihye…
‘She’s scary when she does something.’
Assuming Lucifer sponsored her, she would be even scarier.
She would create the situation I wanted. I didn’t think things would happen right away, but…
Looking at the sudden changes across the world, I muttered unknowingly.
“That woman isn’t just anyone.”
She really wasn’t…
-Song Sookyung!
-…
-Song Sookyung!
-Yes?
-Y-You… You have to come out now.
-…
-It’s urgent. I can’t explain… what’s going on outside now…
“What…”
-Now… I mean…
“What…”
“It’s ridiculous.”
Belial also muttered quietly. He probably thought what was happening was unrealistic.
Even he felt like it was unrealistic, and he was a transcendental being. I couldn’t even imagine what humans would think.
Song Sookyung eagerly moved out.
Everyone was staring at the sky blankly.
-Oh God… this… this… why…
The inhabitants of the continent were screaming as they stared at the sky in terror.
-Where is the Sunset Swordsman…
-Oh, Benignore. Oh, Son of Light. Please… Please save the continent.
-This is crazy… This… This is really crazy.
-Oh, Elune… Ha… haha…
“I didn’t think this was possible… No, nothing is impossible with her power, but I want to applaud her creativity for thinking of this plan. Above all else, I didn’t think the system would have allowed this….”
“Yes. It’s amazing even by my standards. That’s really ridiculous…”
There was darkness in the sky. No, the better expression would be that the entire continent was dyed with it.
Kim Hyunsung soared into the air due to the sudden situation. I didn’t know what happened, but he drew his sword and radiated sunset light as if he thought he had to resist the darkness that was devouring the world.
Red light filled the world in an instant, and his magic power poured out as if tearing the space above, but that couldn’t be removed with physical force.
Kim Hyunsung became filled with doubts, wondering why he couldn’t get rid of the darkness with the light he had unleashed.
‘He noticed that there was no reaction.’
The darkness didn’t respond to his sunset light at all.
“Because that’s the system.”
“…”
“That disconcerts me. Is that possible?”
“Aren’t you looking at it with your own eyes right now? That’s happening because it’s possible. The system is probably thinking that that’s reasonable, too.”
After the unknown darkness completely covered the continent, a familiar voice began to be heard, as expected.
[The mythic-grade dungeon “The Continent Where the Son of Light was Sacrificed” has been forcibly created.]
[All personnel has entered the dungeon.]

“The scale is too big…”
[Do you understand?]
