Chapter 887 – Ancient Tower (8)
The young but courageous wings flapped, and the great sword of Shiva rose towards the falling Lee Si-heon.
-Flash!
A white afterimage split like snow crystals.
It is a strange blow that is difficult to see due to the blurry vision of the sword.
It’s not something that comes from a well-polished sect.
However, it is not a raw power obtained through overwhelming instinctive energy.
A sword that blooms very inorganically, and in some ways is the closest to perfection than any other sword.
The blow was so clear that even Lee Si-heon, who knew the identity of his daughter, briefly missed the trace of the sword in front of him.
-Clap!
Shiva’s sword cut through the space where Lee Si-heon was staying.
The disaster-like sword strike that swung the clouds and wiped out all the surrounding air exploded far away, leaving deep scars in the sky of the tower.
-What a mess!
It’s a sword that doesn’t seem to belong to this world.
A colorless haze rose from Shiva’s dazed face and muscles.
“… ?”
Blue eyes look around and follow Lee Si-heon’s traces.
Snooping-
Shiva’s face, which had not even blinked an eyelid, crumpled in confusion.
I don’t know.
It was impossible to pick out any traces of the king.
Lee Si-heon did not hide his feelings easily.
The way Shiva judged the location of her enemies was through human bonds and soul threads that she could only see with her own eyes.
If you follow any thread, you can see the end.
The spirit that twists the fate of the person involved and leads them to death.
“…”
By the way.
Shiva looked up at the sky with her bewildered eyes for the first time.
Because the thread that started with Lee Si-heon went beyond thousands and tens of thousands of strands and connected to everyone here.
It looks like the power lines of an underdeveloped city.
His connection, like a spider’s web, filled Shiva’s eyes.
“… Ah?”
Originally, some relationships were actually invisible.
If you want to see it, it’s not impossible. People who live in society create countless relationships, big and small, so even for convenience, her eyes do not accept information below a certain level.
Therefore…
At most, family, lovers, or friends.
Other than that, they are rivals who are destined to kill each other.
However, Lee Si-heon’s relationships were scattered regardless of that standard and were very chaotic.
Why?
The unconscious Shiva muttered inadvertently.
In addition to the fact that the rules of her ability that she knew were completely denied, an unbelievable scene that completely shattered Shiva’s common sense unfolded once again.
-Sigh.
Shiva doubted her eyes and activated the power of the Blue Eye once again.
I can see a thread connected to Lee Si-heon.
It covered the entire heaven and earth and was connected to most living things in this world.
Of course, his lover.
Suyeon, Saku, Banya, Melia, Belle, AB… Even national trees whose names you don’t know well.
Traces of what should have been a straight line between just two characters were tied together, knotted, and edited in a way that was hard to imagine, confounding Shiva’s brain.
This is.
This…
‘…’
I couldn’t speak at all.
Something she doesn’t understand.
It was as if an unknown external being had woven the threads coming from Lee Si-heon’s body one by one.
The direction of fate, which had been tried again and again, was thrown out at random.
How many hundreds, how many thousands?
No… You may have to bring in units exceeding 10,000.
-Sarang.
I was left dazed by the indescribable scenery. The thread flowing from Shiva’s chest appeared fluttering.
Red. It’s pretty. Cute thread.
It made a small beeping sound that caught Shiva’s attention.
Something that stands out especially. I feel sad for some reason. It’s lonely. It’s a relationship that makes me want to follow it.
Shiva lowered his head and realized that the thread was connected from his chest.
The most distinct and tightly intertwined threads ever spewed out from within herself… A color brighter than her soul.
Although you may not notice it right away.
Someone who loved her more than her life was sleeping inside Shiva.
-Pazizik.
Tinnitus rang in her ears. As if she had been electrocuted, her arms stiffened and Shiva’s body became stiff.
No. Not yet. Shiva’s eyes turned gray without her light. Shiva, who struck her temple and forcibly put her to sleep, appeared with his sword in her world once again with a grim expression.
“… The crown must be abolished-“
Something I said to myself to come to my senses.
The silhouette of the king who had disappeared appeared over Shiva’s confused face.
Shiva raised her head. There, the man she had to defeat was looking down at her with his resolute eyes.
Padeudeuk- Padeuk-
She embraces her countless threads within her heart.
There seemed to be a lot of faint scars on Lee Si-heon’s chest.
‘…’
I thought someone was playing with Lee Si-heon’s fate.
In fact, it was concluded that there might be another reason.
-Pazizik.
His fate was more uncertain than anyone else’s.
Is it because I came from another world? Or is Lee Si-heon himself an irregularity? What was certain was that Lee Si-heon’s thread had infinite variability, not knowing where it would go.
A being with a bizarre trait that pioneers its own path that denies the definition of the word ‘fate’.
If you even touch his thread with your fingertips…
That alone would create a huge butterfly effect. It’s literally just a variable.
“How are you?”
“… ?”
Shiva, unable to understand her father’s warm words, tilted her head.
-Jiing.
Her thread was pulled from Shiva’s chest. The thread is very thick. It was also strong and had a flawless quality that no one could cut.
In fact, the stronger the thread, the greater the likelihood that the relationship will deepen. She also indicated the magnitude of the person’s emotions. She also implied that they share a future that cannot be separated.
“…”
Shiva lowered her gaze and her hands trembled. The line connecting the two was clean and untouched by anyone.
Maybe she couldn’t touch it. In Shiva’s eyes, this thread was so perfect that no power could interfere with it.
The bumpy thickness looked just like a blood transfusion.
Just like giving strength to save someone who should have died right away.
The closer it was to Lee Si-heon, the thinner the thread became.
Shiva’s cold face rose further.
-Thump, thump, thump.
It hurts.
Her heart is pounding. Transparent tears overflowed.
Shiva, who did not understand her sudden emotions, raised her head when she saw the tears falling.
“… ?”
I thought it was going to rain, but it wasn’t. Shiva groped her face. Her stream of water was not from her forehead or her head, but from under her eyes.
A child who falls away on his own and is eaten by his bloodline.
Lee Si-heon instinctively saw through Shiva’s condition. I don’t know why. No, there was a basis that could not be explained.
The precious red thread seen in Shiva’s eyes.
Just as Lee Si-heon recognized Shiba’s special side, Shiba was also able to recognize one of Lee Si-heon’s secrets.
─Bah? Hehe. Baa~!
Old memories that I still cherish.
And the thread of spirit has become so weak that it is loose.
Her soul, which Shiva had been searching for so long to cut, was so thin and weak that it would break off on its own without any special cutting.
Since it is this thin, is there any way to follow Lee Si-heon’s traces among so many threads?
Simply put, he was a being standing somewhere between the living and the dead.
Your complexion may not be very good right now. A person who will disappear within just a few months. Currently, Shiva is the only being who can see the fate of humans in such detail.
So.
There is no need to kill.
This person is a star that will collapse on its own. It was his turn to cool down because he could not divide.
-Excited.
Even though the existing luck is much longer.
Does this man even know that a life that has been cut short is being given to him?
Shiva’s subconscious muttered through the process of reasoning.
Predictably.
The owner of this body is a flame that died out three years ago.
It was Shiva who survived by parasitizing on the thread of fate and eating away at the other. This was still in progress.
And the entity that sucked up the remaining lifespan of Lee Si-heon…
-Jiiing.
A disgusting lump of crown that looks like it swallowed his brain.
The eyes of her crown, which only Shiva can see, screamed at her to go out.
That one.
That son of a bitch.
We must kill them right now, by any means necessary.
The gray pupils turned blue again and Shiva’s tears evaporated and dried.
Shiva’s consciousness and the bloodline’s unconsciousness overlapped in confusion. The two purposes immediately merged into one. The great sword she was holding made a curved line, avoiding fate, and headed towards Lee Si-heon’s head.
-Whoop!
Of course, Shiva’s sword misses.
‘Please.’
It was a feeling of déjà vu until now, and he ultimately chose to distance himself from his father.
‘Please, please…’ … Please!’
A desperate cry came out, and the desperate mana from Shiva’s body began to burn like the sun.
* * * * * *
No.
It’s not time yet.
The murderous look in my daughter’s wide-open eyes burst out in a bright light.
‘… ‘You’re not really trying to kill me, are you?’
I get goosebumps all over my body. If you really want to harvest my head, I’m willing to give it to you, but I don’t think my daughter is the kind of person who would commit such a cruel act.
No.
I don’t look at my father in a very positive light either.
In some ways, isn’t it a family history?
As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I couldn’t even giggle anymore.
-Boo!
When Shiva’s sword misses, the sky explodes.
It’s strange just hearing it, but the space in the world was really exploding.
Like a PC monitor with a hole in it. It felt like the space that Shiva’s great sword touched was discharged from the world.
-Sooooo!
The mana, energy, and even luck of the world were helping Shiva.
When the crown took a deep breath to absorb the surrounding magic power, the magic power struggled with all its might.
It felt like the magic power wanted only Shiva’s body.
‘… I see that my daughter is clean and lovely.’
I don’t like the dirty and strong man’s Danjeon. There is no way.
Avoiding Shiva’s sword strike, he circled in the air and used the crown to capture all the escaping magic power and store it in the Danjeon.
-Woong!
As soon as he finished preparing to counterattack, Shiva, who became even more angry, attacked with his sword tightly clutched.
‘I’ve become stronger.’
It’s almost like you don’t know who it is.
First, the fact that he was able to exchange sums with me, who had won the crown, made him one of the strongest. It was worth letting Shiva run away.
‘But.’
She is still unconscious after being eaten by that force.
You have to train a little more, refine yourself, and use your strength yourself.
With the smile on my face gone, I dug into her arms to avoid Shiba’s sword attack.
“Not yet.”
“… !”
Shiva, who was caught off guard because she only performed evasive maneuvers, belatedly raised her great sword.
It’s to block her fists, but let’s test whether it can be blocked with her slender arms.
Release the magical power concentrated in your left hand. He thrust his power towards the torso that Shiva defended.
-Spook!
A halo of light extending in a straight line.
The black trunk swallowed Shiva whole. The child’s body flew into the distance in an instant.
-Quaaaaa!
We need to make it clear that there is a wall. Before the kids’ mothers come!
The moment Shiva realizes that he has attacked me, his harsh gaze may turn towards my innocent daughter.
Since time immemorial, it is the father who protects his daughter who no-shows the homework assigned by her mother.
-Boo!
Using the sky as a stepping stone, I quickly crossed several kilometers and raised my fist, aiming at the flying Shiva.
The blow continued again.
Shiva twisted her sword again and fell to the ground, and the heat and the huge torrent of magical energy collided, causing her mushroom cloud to explode.
-Ang!
The goal is to break that state.
We had to return our daughter’s consciousness.
