Chapter 928 – 928. Nightmare (8)
The two people who witnessed the fight on a different level had no choice but to stop their actions for a moment.
A fight between a wizard flying across the sky and a swordsman opposing him.
In the midst of a natural disaster where the heavens and earth are split apart and fierce storms and flames swirl around, they calmly deflect the magic and aim for a surprise attack.
Not only Illyana, but even Eunhyun was at a very different level.
The fight between two beings on a completely different level that could not even be tolerated made other people’s fights meaningless.
Erin and Joo Hyun-seong stopped their attack as they stared at each other and were about to deliver a fatal blow, and watched blankly the fight between Illyana and another Eun-hyeon.
The same was true for Verdandi and Eleanor Lily.
“No matter what, isn’t that a bit…”
“…”
No one responded to Joo Hyeon-seong’s muttered words as if he was in awe, but all of Eun-hyeon’s wives, except for Illyana, who was involved in the fight, had the same thoughts as Joo Hyeon-seong.
The level is different.
As a wizard, it was possible to roughly estimate the level and level she had achieved, but there were not many cases where she revealed her skills in earnest.
In fact, in her previous turmoil in the Magic Tower City, her terrain and climate changed with just one use of her ten-digit transcendental magic.
Part of that realm was unfolding once again at this moment.
“Illyana… It’s really strong…”
Erin muttered as she witnessed the sight of her surroundings being devastated by the power of her magic.
“… “You haven’t revealed your full potential yet.”
Even now, Illyana’s power wasn’t even full power.
“Wow, really!?”
Erin was shocked by Eleanor’s words.
During the fight that took place in the Mage Tower City, Erin did not directly see how Illyana dealt with Belphegor, the demon who had consumed Raynan’s body.
“… “She can’t do her best.”
Lily added an explanation with a stern expression.
“You can’t reveal it? Why?”
“The world itself could collapse.”
“… “Is it that much?”
“Huh. “This is a dream world I created based on my master’s memories.”
In this world embodied by Lily’s dream power, providence is naturally under Lily’s control, but the two beings unfolding before her eyes are of different classes.
One is a remnant of Eunhyeon, the owner of this dream, and another Eunhyeon is independently blocking interference with the dream.
The other, Illyana, has her own magical power so vast and powerful that she destroys the dream providence itself created by the dream demon.
If we had to be honest, it was Illyana who was truly on a different level.
If she really puts her mind to it, she has the power to destroy this dream world itself.
There is only one reason why Illyana is fighting by controlling her own powers instead of doing so now.
This is because if this dream world were to be destroyed, what would happen to Eunhyeon’s mind and soul, who is currently in a nightmare, could not be guaranteed.
So I wanted to get Eunhyeon out of the nightmare as easily as possible.
It would have gone smoothly if another Eunhyeon had not interfered for some reason.
So now Illyana was not able to use her full power to subdue the other Eunhyeon that was standing in her way.
Erin immediately regained her posture and looked at Joo Hyun-seong.
“… “Can you please get out of the way?”
“Uh. “I’m sorry, but I can’t do it.”
Joo Hyeon-seong shrugged his shoulders and joked.
“Profit! “You just lost to me!”
“I didn’t lose.”
“Lie! “In my heart, I was already planning on losing!”
Erin, who had already read Joo Hyeon-seong’s emotions at the time, was confident of victory, but it did not lead to her victory in the end.
“Uh. It did. But in the end, you didn’t lose.”
In the end, Erin’s attack, which was close to perfect, did not reach Hyunseong Joo.
This is because the aftermath of the fierce battle between Illyana and another Eunhyeon affected them as well.
In other words, it was no different from missing all the fish that were caught.
“What can I do? Luck is also a skill. “You’re out of luck.”
“Yiyi!”
Erin stamped her foot with an angry expression on her face.
I was even more furious, wondering how someone could joke so brazenly.
“… “It’s Shinsu Ai.”
“Yes?”
She was very upset and tried to rush at Joo Hyun-seong right away, but Verdandi called Erin to her side.
“I would like you to help the witch child with the priest child to deal with him.”
“Yes?”
“Yes?”
Eleanor and Erin heard Verdandi’s request at the same time and tilted their heads.
What the goddess said was to help Illyana deal with another Eunhyeon.
But the two hesitated.
If Erin vacates her position and joins Illyana, who will deal with Joo Hyeon-seong?
“Hmm…”
“Mr. Verdandi. That…”
“Please.”
Verdandi firmly asked his two wives.
Eleanor and Erin were worried as they looked at Verdandi’s expression.
Like Eunhyeon, she was a goddess whose emotions were unreadable, but now Verdandi was showing her stern expression as if she had made up her mind about something.
She spoke as if the goddess had her own thoughts, so Erin decided that there was no way she could harm Eunhyeon.
“All right. Eleanor.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s go. “To Illyana.”
“… Huh. OK.”
Eleanor, who thought about her thoughts for a moment, let out a small sigh and nodded her head.
Eleanor glanced at Lily to address her.
“Lily.”
“Yes. “Little madam.”
“I’ll ask you to take care of Verdandi.”
“I will serve you faithfully.”
Lily answered confidently.
Although she has no fighting ability at all, Lily, who created this dream world, will be able to protect herself and Verdandi in this space.
And for some reason, I could guess Verdandi’s intentions.
“Erin. “Move me.”
“Yes!”
Erin fastened the Levante to her waist, held Eleanoa in her arms, and headed to the battlefield where Illyana and another Eunhyeon were fighting.
After confirming that the two were far away, Verdandi looked at Joo Hyeon-seong, who was guarding Eun-hyeon like a gatekeeper.
“Are you okay?”
“… “What do you mean?”
“Wouldn’t you have put me on my knees and tried to get Hyeon out of that nightmare, without that young lady’s help?”
“… “If that were the case, I wouldn’t have sent the Shinsu child over there.”
Verdandi had no intention of defeating Joo Hyeon-seong.
It had already been given up long ago.
That’s why he tried a different method.
“I have something to suggest.”
“Hmm, it’s a proposal…”
Joo Hyeon-seong guessed what the goddess was suggesting and what her intentions were.
This is a proposal that requires less listening, even sending Erin or Eleanor away.
I thought it was definitely a dishonest suggestion.
So then, the reason why she left that demon woman named Lily by her side, does it mean that she is trustworthy enough to agree with her own dishonest plans?
I was interested in the idea that there would be another proposal as contradictory and disparate as this, a scheme planned by a goddess and a devil together.
Joo Hyeon-seong, like other Eun-hyeons, did not trust those called goddesses that much.
If they had done more properly, if they had actively worked to save Ha-gye, not only he, but Eun-hyeon and his mother, Eun Yeon-hwa, would not have ended up in such a situation.
So I had no intention of accepting Verdandi’s offer, but I listened as if I would just listen for now.
“Let me tell you.”
“The child… “I want you to save the child.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
Verdandi’s request was not a coercive order in the petty and dirty way that Joo Hyeon-seong had expected.
Rather, it was closer to an earnest request to think of Eunhyeon as his companion.
Joo Hyeon-seong listened to the details of Verdandi’s proposal with a slightly surprised expression.
After hearing the whole story, he groaned softly with a look of deep concern.
“… Indeed.”
The reason why Eleanoa and Erin were sent to support Illyana, who was fighting another Eunhyeon, was not to suggest unspeakable, unjust methods to them.
“I guess what you had in mind was that guy.”
Rather, Verdandi wanted to place restrictions on Eunhyeon’s movements.
If another Eun-hyeon heard Verdandi’s proposal, he would definitely not accept this proposal, and he might even interfere.
So, he added Eleanor and Erin to Illyana’s side to prevent another Eunhyeon from interfering with him.
“Why do you think I will accept your offer?”
“The methods may be extreme, but they really care and are thinking about the child.”
“Why do you do it to me instead of doing it yourself?”
“It’s impossible for me.”
Verdandi answered with a sad expression.
It was impossible for Verdandi to mend a heart that had already festered and rotted.
“I am rather the starting point that caused the child’s mind to begin to break down.”
Not wanting to see his heart broken any further, he granted the goddess’ protection.
Rather, it was only recently, after his death, that he realized that it was rotting inside him.
That’s why Joo Hyeon-seong was needed.
“Request. “Be sure to save the child, my companion.”
Verdandi asked again.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Hmm?”
Illyana noticed Erin running from afar and Eleanor in her arms and immediately looked away.
They were running towards us at high speed, but the other Eunhyeon had not yet noticed their approach.
Since Illyana was floating in the air and had a relatively wide field of view, she was able to spot it first.
Illyana immediately imbued her earrings with her magic and communicated on her wives’ private line.
“What’s the matter?”
[Berdandi sent it. Help Illyana.]
“Hmm.”
Illyana continued to use her magic to keep another Eunhyeon in check, and only glanced at Verdandi, located in the distance.
Joo Hyun-seong, Verdandi, and Lily were talking about something.
And she immediately understood Verdandi’s intentions.
‘It means to hold on to that bastard.’
But she wasn’t satisfied with just holding on.
Illyana wanted to strike down the man who had the same face as her husband, but who was more arrogant, unlucky, and meaner than her husband, and to receive her apology.
‘If you want to do it, you have to step on it properly, firmly, and perfectly.’
Illyana’s belief that once something begins, it must be completely finished before she can be satisfied with it, has been ignited.
Illyana immediately thought of a fight in which she could utilize Erin and Eleanor.
“Baby.”
[Yes?]
“From now on, listen carefully to what I say. “I have to make sure I step on that cheap bastard today.”
◆ ◆ ◆
[Three-digit sub-magic]
[Heavy Smoke]
Erin straightened up as Illyana looked at her fog-covered front, which Illyana had released.
[You are a goddess. Please bless the Lamb who seeks your help.]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[High Strength]
[Haste]
[Grand Blessing]
In addition to strengthening the body through magical power, the overall increase in physical ability is doubled due to the blessing of being filled with divine power.
At the same time, her more sensitive physical abilities led to the expansion of her senses, further maximizing Erin’s already sensitive senses.
Her interior, completely impenetrable and surrounded by a thick fog, seemed clear as if it were being drawn before her eyes.
In addition to ‘sensing’, which scatters her magical power in all directions to collect, receive and organize information, Erin’s special detection ability allows her to clearly see the enemy’s location even in spaces with limited visibility.
His scent, the flow of air, even the slightest breath or footsteps, Erin’s wildness shone through as her senses were heightened.
‘It’s here.’
[Erin’s unique sword technique]
[Cheongsa (靑射)]
A solid line of blue light, which was fired with all its might, penetrated the fog and pierced another Eunhyeon’s body.
‘You’re right.’
Although she couldn’t see it, Erin was sure.
This is because I heard Eunhyun’s faint moan.
Erin traced the place where she heard the sound and ran as fast as she could.
He used the technique again.
[Erin’s unique sword technique]
[Cheongsa (靑射)]
With the incredible leg strength of his two legs, he kicked the ground and kicked away the thick fog, creating a gust of wind.
Eventually, Erin tracked the sound of his breathing and his scent as he got closer to estimate his location, and swung his rapier toward the other side of the fog that obstructed his vision.
[Galahad’s swordsmanship]
[Gifungsa (疾風射)]
“Ugh, ugh!”
Erin’s Levante, which emerged from the fog, pierced another Eunhyeon’s shoulder.
Another Eun-hyeon, who had been preparing for a surprise attack by spreading his senses in all directions, had no choice but to allow Erin’s surprise attack in vain like this.
This may be because the fragments of the magical barrier that exploded like a grenade during the battle with Illyana hit her body directly, causing damage that could not be ignored, but Erin’s location tracking ability and surprise attack following the ‘Blue Death’, Even though the tempo was fast, it was too fast.
Eventually, Erin carried out Illyana’s orders with the Levantean pierced through another Eunhyeon’s shoulder.
[Listen carefully. Baby. Anything is fine. Provoke that bastard. Make your emotions move. It’s okay to make me angry. Whether it’s anger or frustration, you don’t have room for reason. Can you do it?]
“The swordsmanship I learned from the great teacher is nothing special!”
Erin couldn’t quite explain why she thought of this word or siete as a keyword for provocation.
I just said whatever came to mind, just like it was.
“… What?”
Unintentionally, the effect was spectacular.
Erin read the emotions of Eunhyeon, who habitually asked back with a trembling voice.
The emotions that filled her heart were anger and irritation, as if she had heard an insult she could not bear.
“… Uh?”
Erin was momentarily taken aback.
In the waves of passionate emotions that burned like fire, she read the envy and admiration that had been directed at one person for a long time.
“Uh… ?”
And the feeling of deep love for someone combined with envy and admiration.
Erin’s embarrassment grew as she read those emotions.
“Uh, Lala… ? Huh?”
Erin looked at her in disbelief as she looked at the reaction on the face of another Eun-Hyeon who had been stabbed in the shoulder by a Levante.
“You… “Did you like the Master?”
