Chapter 102

Things That Can’t Be Changed (1)

「 “…Captain, what did you just say?” 」

I came to my senses because of Shin Yoosung’s disbelieving voice .

「 “Say it again . What did you say just now? What? Companion?”

“…”

“That man is your companion?” 」

Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t reply to the voice filled with distrust . I was surprised as well but Shin Yoosung’s shock was devastating . The Yoo Jonghyuk with a strong ego had called me his ‘companion . ’

「 “Yes . ” 」

This suddenly scared me . No matter how I thought about it, he wasn’t someone who would call me a ‘companion . ’ Didn’t this bastard know I was going to be resurrected?

[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is touched by your comradeship . ]

[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ is blushing at your comradeship . ]

[500 coins have been sponsored . ]

Yes, now I understood . Yoo Jonghyuk, he was looking for coin sponsorship . It was a little strange to see that Uriel wasn’t involved but he must be targeting sponsorship by one of the constellations .

I became convinced as I watched him bleeding . Considering that this was his third regression, it wasn’t impossible for Yoo Jonghyuk to say the word ‘companion . ’ In the early rounds, he had called Lee Hyunsung and Lee Seolhwa ‘companions’ when they died .

It hurt to think about the large number of coins he would be receiving right now . I couldn’t help my emotions becoming cold . Damn, I should’ve said that line .

「 “Captain, how can you say that?” 」

Of course, Shin Yoosung didn’t know Yoo Jonghyuk’s thoughts and looked as if the world had collapsed .

There was no choice . The 41st round Shin Yoosung…

She never once heard Yoo Jonghyuk call anyone his companion . Shin Yoosung’s fist hit Yoo Jonghyuk’s blade .

Despite the clash between the body and the weapon, the thing that received damage was Yoo Jonghyuk’s sword . It was the SS-grade Heaven Shaking Sword . Putting aside the special options, the durability and strength was one of the best . Yet this sword was damaged by Shin Yoosung’s fist .

In the end, the Heaven Shaking Sword failed to overcome the shock and was bent . The mighty Splitting the Sky was helplessly deflected .

「 “How dare you say this in front of me?” 」

Shin Yoosung shouted and didn’t use any special skills . She just threw a punch that contained ether condensed to the limit .

Yoo Jonghyuk coughed up blood and flew back at this blow . Her attacks, her speed and her variations . Shin Yoosung was superior to Yoo Jonghyuk in all aspects .

The Red Phoenix Shunpo and Breaking the Sky Sword that Yoo Jonghyuk was proud of faded in front of Shin Yoosung .

There was the terrible sound of the body breaking and Yoo Jonghyuk was pushed back . It wasn’t a matter of talent but a matter of time .

Despite being weakened by the descent, the 41st Shin Yoosung was the Beast Lord who was close to the limits that Shin Yoosung could reach . On the other hand, the current Yoo Jonghyuk was in the early stages of Yoo Jonghyuk’s growth .

「 “Why call him a companion? Is it because he sacrificed himself for you? Just because of this?” 」

Blood emerged without stopping . However, Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t give up . He didn’t stop and kept wielding his sword . That jerk, why the hell was he fighting?

I watched the bleeding Yoo Jonghyuk and became increasingly frustrated . Shouldn’t he run away after realizing something was wrong? Wasn’t that what he normally did?

Once again, Shin Yoosung opened her mouth .

「 “Then what about me and the others? Jihye unni and Hyunsung oppa . Seolhwa unni? What the hell are the people who fought with you?”

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about . ”

“What?”

“There is only one thing I know . ” Yoo Jonghyuk wiped the blood from his lips and said . “You killed my companion in this round . Thus, you will also die . ” 」

Damn, this time I couldn’t help feeling touched .

[Excessive immersion has restricted some of the features of Fourth Wall . ]

I was fooled by his acting . Yes, I read Ways of Survival for this taste . Come to think of it, I had been in tears when Yoo Jonghyuk said something similar to Lee Hyunsung .

I suddenly felt restless . A mere reader became a companion of the main character, Yoo Jonghyuk .

Shin Yoosung looked at Yoo Jonghyuk with a face that seemed to have lost everything .

「 “You can’t be like this…” 」

An ominous aura filled her surroundings . It was a process where emptiness turned to betrayal and betrayal turned to anger .

「 “You are changing . I can’t tolerate it . ” 」

Ether filled Shin Yoosung’s fists . I wanted to watch a bit more but I was filled with a sense of crisis .

[Excessive immersion leads to a profound increase in the proficiency of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint . ]

If this went wrong then Yoo Jonghyuk would really die . I couldn’t let him be killed here . I quickly switched the mode of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint .

It was from third person to 1st person protagonist’s point of view .

[Changing your viewpoint to first person . ]

……

[Changing to the 1st person protagonist’s point of view has failed . ]

What? Why?

[You have failed to meet the conditions to change the viewpoint . ]

It felt like I had been hit in the back of the head . There were two conditions to use 1st person protagonist’s point of view .

One, I must be dead and in an out of body state . Two, the target and I should be thinking about each other .

The first condition was met but the problem was the second condition . That jerk wasn’t thinking about me right now?

Then what was with all the running amok because of revenge? I watched Yoo Jonghyuk who was frantically attacking and became stunned .

「 “Die . I will kill you . ” 」

…That bastard, was he thinking about anything? Shin Yoosung watched Yoo Jonghyuk and opened his mouth .

「 “It can’t be helped . I was going to finish it quickly but I changed my mind . ” 」

Shin Yoosung smiled like she was a devil .

「 “I will finish off Captain’s world in the most terrible way . ” 」

Shin Yoosung’s eyes shifted away from Yoo Jonghyuk . My heart sank the moment I followed her gaze . Shit, I really couldn’t wait here and watch . If I couldn’t transfer to Yoo Jonghyuk then someone else…

At this moment, a sharp sensation crossed my mind . An unexpected character was thinking of me .

…Could I transfer to this person? Was it possible? Ah, that’s right . It was because Yoo Jonghyuk said those words . Yes, maybe it would be better to transfer to this person . I don’t know, let’s just try it .

I started projecting my mind towards that person . Then after a while . My vision shook and I became dizzy .

[Changing your viewpoint to first person . ]

My consciousness was sucked to another place .

***

‘Companion?’

The first time she heard it, Shin Yoosung questioned her ears . Companion . How was this possible? This was Yoo Jonghyuk, not another person .

Shin Yoosung couldn’t understand the emotion that blossomed deep inside her heart . It was an emotion she had forgotten for a thousand years .

Yoo Jonghyuk, companion .

She didn’t know what had happened to Yoo Jonghyuk . But if it was true, perhaps the Yoo Jonghyuk of that time towards her…

Shin Yoosung touched the ground without realizing it .

‘It is low . ’

Shin Yoosung thought so . Thus, I thought so .

“This is your last chance . ” She couldn’t tolerate such a lowly thing . “If you cancel your words then I will send you away without any pain . Say it . Say he isn’t your companion, just someone you know . ”

The bleeding Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t answer despite his condition . Shin Yoosung had crushed one arm and his legs were weak . Even so, Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes were still alive .

Shin Yoosung stared at Yoo Jonghyuk and gritted her teeth before giving an order . “Hold onto Yoo Jonghyuk . ”

The 6th grade sulfur mummies that had passed through the Monster Gate started moving . Their white bandages grabbed Yoo Jonghyuk’s body and Yoo Jonghyuk’s limbs were pulled as if they were going to be torn apart . Shin Yoosung declared, “Captain, I’ll kill them one by one . Captain, you are the one who chose the most painful way . ”

Shin Yoosung walked towards the edge of the island, leaving Yoo Jonghyuk alone .

“Kill her! She is the disaster!”

The incarnations climbing up from the water discovered Shin Yoosung . Shin Yoosung waved her hands towards them . The incarnations were touched by the light that came from her hands and were torn apart like wet newspaper . There was no time for them to scream .

“Flood . ”

Monsters poured from the Monster Gate at her order . Two of the most powerful monsters were standing behind her like they were guards .

The 5th grade sea species, King Masswood . The 5th grade behemoth, Heavy Metal Bean .

They were monsters who could cause small disasters in this world . She was about to speak when a sharp strike came from the side .

“Where are you going?”

It was a flashy sword . The person wielding it wore a black hoodie over a slim skirt . Shin Yoosung immediately recognized who she was . Demon Slaying was burning in Lee Jihye’s eyes .

“You dared to make Master look like that?”

The majesty of a great constellation emerged from Lee Jihye’s body . It was the power of a person who was stronger than anyone in the sea . Shin Yoosung noticed the stigma that Lee Jihye wanted to use . This place was a river .

“…To God . ”

The moment she started reciting a passage, transparent ships emerged from every corner of Han River .

“There are still 12 ships…!”

23 ships appeared on Han River, scattering the water . It was a sight that made people speechless . The stigma of the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare, Ghost Fleet . Despite the oppressive aura of the ships, Shin Yoosung just smiled like she had missed it .

“…Indeed . This is Unni’s skill . ”

“Unni? You are a lot older than me!”

“However, you still have a long way to go . The captain should be on the ship . Why are you in a place like this?” Shin Yoosung reached her in an instant and touched Lee Jihye’s chin . There was no time for resistance . “Poor Unni . You don’t know anything . ”

“Shit! What is this speed?”

Lee Jihye hurriedly retreated but she couldn’t escape Shin Yoosung’s speed .

“You don’t know . Yoo Jonghyuk will use you and abandon you . You will die . ”

Lee Jihye’s blade flew towards Shin Yoosung . Shin Yoosung lightly grabbed the blade .

“You, who wanted to be acknowledged by Yoo Jonghyuk, died in the sea you loved so much . You were horribly slaughtered by the Japanese who hated your sponsor . ”

“Everybody, attack with full power!”

The 12 ships started firing the moment Lee Jihye shouted . Shin Yoosung laughed as she watched the flying shells .

“Do you know what Yoo Jonghyuk said after losing you?”

The shells hit Shin Yoosung’s body . There was the loud sound of an explosion . Shin Yoosung emerged from the smoke and kept talking .

“In the future, sea battles will be a bit difficult . ”

The countless shells didn’t damage Shin Yoosung’s white fur armour . It was one of Shin Yoosung’s unique skill, her strongest defense skill called Beast King’s Sensitivity . The white fur wrapped around her didn’t tolerate even a single scratch .

“Don’t worry Unni . That won’t happen this time . ”

Shin Yoosung laughed .

“I’ll send you away without any pain . ”
