Chapter 137

Translator: Rainbow Turtle

Nirvana was astonished by his mental attack bouncing off the Fourth Wall and then he was hit by the White Pure Star Energy .

“What the hell is this…?”

“I didn’t do anything . It is the power of the story . ”

“What?”

I didn’t believe in the doctrines of the Salvation Church but there was one thing I agreed with . “You said that strength and weakness is determined by the story . ”

A high health warrior would just be food to a magician if they didn’t have any magic defense skills . Strength and weaknesses were determined by the history of the characters .

“It is your fault that you didn’t get any close combat skills in this life . All because you wanted to aim at Yoo Jonghyuk’s weakness . ”

I never thought things would be resolved this way . Something influenced Nirvana’s growth path and he became the counter for Yoo Jonghyuk . However, since Nirvana became Yoo Jonghyuk’s counter, he could never win against me .

Nirvana’s eyes shook as he read something in my tone . He stared at me quietly and said, “I know your name . Kim Dokja . ”

“We are talking about names? Okay, Nirvana Moebius . Do you want to have a heart to heart talk?”

The light of the mandala turned off . A reincarnator wasn’t a reincarnator for nothing . As if a switch was turned on, the agitated Nirvana disappeared and the Nirvana who regained his composure was in front of me .

“Some nebulae warned me to be careful of you . Of course, I didn’t know what to expect . ”

Some nebulae… I was certainly drawing attention .

Nirvana asked me, “How did you get such a strong mental barrier? The only person who hasn’t been infected with my thoughts until now was Anna Croft . ”

I smiled bitterly at the familiar name . That woman had already touched the reincarnator . It wasn’t strange . Anna Croft would’ve already started contacting the strongest players in the world . In order to save the world, that woman would even sell souls to the devil .

Nirvana read something in my face and said, “You… know the prophet . What the hell are you? Are you a regressor? Or…”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is interested in the story . ]

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is quietly contemplating the situation . ]

The information filtering should’ve gradually started being removed . Information about regressors and reincarnators would start to enter the ears of the constellations . I’m sure those of the great nebulae should already know about it .

Nirvana looked at me and kept talking . “This is an interesting rebirth . I have lived for over a hundred years yet I am curious about you…”

“You talk too much . It will be hard for you to get Yoo Jonghyuk in the future . ”

“Kuhahat! I will accept you as a follower . ”

[A constellation who recites the Buddhist scriptures is wondering about you . ]

It was a proposal I would’ve readily accepted earlier . However… “I respectfully decline . Among those who are supporting me, there is one who hates your sponsor . ”

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ reveals hostility to Nirvana Moebius’s sponsor . ]

Nirvana’s mouth slightly opened . “The monkey king? Why is he chasing you?”

“I don’t know . ”

“…I have become even more curious . Come under me along with Yoo Jonghyuk . ”

“I don’t want to . ”

“Aren’t you curious about the secrets of this world? I can help you survive even after the end of this world . It has nothing to do with the failure of the scenarios . ”

The words were persuasive . If I wasn’t a ‘reader’ then I might’ve accepted it .

“I’ll allow you to become one with me!”

Behind Nirvana’s back, the mandala started to shine again . Hundreds of faces appeared on the slowly rotating mandala . The pained faces screamed . All of them were ‘one’ with Nirvana .

I exclaimed, “Shut up you pervert . ”

“If you don’t agree then I’ll have to force you . ”

Nirvana’s face was still relaxed despite the unfavourable situation . In any case, the opponent was a reincarnator . He had lived countless lives and had a much better combat sense than me . As time passed, my movements would start to be read by him and I would fall into a disadvantage .

If so, the answer was to win the fight before that happened . A white energy swirled around the mandala . I didn’t hesitate and rushed towards the mandala .

[The exclusive skill ‘Miniaturization Lv . 1 is activated!]

[The effect of Miniaturization will decrease the size of your body . ]

My body became very small and the blow from the mandala missed . Nirvana laughed . “…What is this petty trick?”

Was it really a petty trick?

[Due to the effects of Miniaturization, all your equipment will be transformed to fit your size . ]

[The skill level is low and the duration is shortened . ]

[The duration of Miniaturization is two minutes . ]

This was why I chose Miniaturization over all the other good skills . It was because only Miniaturization could make me the most powerful person I knew .

“I will choose the fifth bookmark, Kyrgios Rodgraim . ”

[Your current body configuration is similar to the physical makeup of the character . ]

[The level of the character is too high to fully reproduce the skill level .

[The level of the skill being activated is forcibly adjusted . ]

The white lightning energy swelled and nestled in my heart . It was the power to break the sky and cause thunder . Beyond the mighty lightning, I could see Nirvana’s pale face .

I wondered, “Do you still see this as a petty trick?”

No matter how strong Nirvana was, he couldn’t surpass Kyrgios’s power at this moment .

[The exclusive skill ‘Electrification Lv . 10’ is activated . ]

Intense lightning appeared all over my body and clouds of lightning started to gather at my fists . If I couldn’t take advantage of the reincarnator then it was better to get rid of him here .

I stretched out my fist towards Nirvana . “Pray to be born human again . ”

The lightning storm exploded towards Nirvana’s side . Nirvana screamed terribly and I heard the incarnations shouting . The level of Miniaturization was low so there wasn’t as much power compared to when I dealt with Orochi, but it was still tremendous damage .

A cloud of dust appeared and Nirvana was blown away with a large hole in his side .

…He was alive? How could that be?

“Kieeeeeeek!”

Blood poured from his mouth . It seemed to be a serious blow but I wasn’t satisfied . It was strange . He couldn’t survive this attack, even if he was a reincarnator .

Then I could see lotus petals growing on his body . I thought I knew what was going on . I thought this stigma wasn’t possible because of the probability? This bastard, don’t tell me?

“Using my memories in a mere place like this…”

A grim voice was heard . I looked at the sparks around the petals and knew how he had survived .

[Story Payment . ]

He borrowed the power of his sponsor in exchange for his story .

“…I will see you again . ”

His body was covered in a large lotus leaf . I rushed towards him . My fist hit his chest but Nirvana was laughing with a distorted face .

“You will pay for going against the ‘present . ’ It will be in the most terrible manner . ”

Starting from the centre of the chest that I hit, his body started turning into lotus leaves . I stretched out my hand and tried to grab onto the left arm of the disappearing person .

“Just wait!”

The next moment, Nirvana disappeared, leaving only his torn off left arm and flying lotus leaves .

[The character ‘Nirvana Moebius’ has used the stigma No Ownership Lv . 7 . ]

No Ownership . It was a stigma where he abandoned some of his memories in exchange for escaping from danger . He paid using the memories of his reincarnations and escaped me .

“L-Leader!”

“Leader-nim! Where did you go?”

The Salvation members were collapsing . Some were already running away . Others saw their leader being defeated by me and the mental shock was huge .

I sighed as I watched the Salvation members retreating . Smoke emerged from my body and Miniaturization and Bookmark were released at the same time . My overworked muscles were crying out in pain . I didn’t manage to kill Nirvana but there were some harvests .

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ can’t hide his joy at your victory . ]

[10,000 coins have been sponsored . ]

The incarnations who saw my victory looked at each other incredulously .

“The Salvation leader lost!”

“Who is that incarnation?”

“Wait a minute, that face, that…!”

Someone pointing me and shouted, “The ugliest king!”

I ignored them and found Yoo Jonghyuk . Yoo Jonghyuk was released from his paralysis and could be seen stumbling in the distance . This sunfish bastard, he didn’t help when it was important .

“Hey, are you okay?”

Yoo Jonghyuk held his head like he had a headache and asked, “The reincarnator?”

“He fled . ”

“Pathetic . Did you miss him?”

“Do you have the right to say something like that?”

Yoo Jonghyuk’s expression was serious . “We have to quickly chase him . His purpose isn’t to clear the scenario . ”

“I know that . ”

“If you know then how could you let him leave? If you don’t catch the reincarnator before the 10th scenario ends, Seoul will…”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ belatedly regained her spirit . ]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ wants to explain why she came here . ]

At Uriel’s words, Yoo Jonghyuk and I looked up at the air simultaneously .

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ needs your help . ]

It was difficult to grasp the exact context due to the limitations of the indirect messages but it wasn’t difficult to guess what happened .

Uriel was Jung Heewon’s sponsor . Uriel, who was supposed to be with Jung Heewon, came all the way here and contact with Jung Heewon was broken . This meant…

“Min Jiwon-ssi . Do you know where Jung Heewon-ssi is?”

However, Min Jiwon was still unconscious . This wouldn’t work .

“Yoo Jonghyuk, defend me . ”

“What?”

I immediately closed my eyes and focused . I had become quite familiar with it after all the practice while sleeping . There was the feeling of my body sinking to the ground and darkness was everywhere .

I felt a shallow sleep and immediately used Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint . I needed to find a voice . I was looking for a voice .

However, the voice was missing . I became increasingly uneasy . I told them to think about me when something happened… was there a problem .

‘Dokja-ssi . ’

For the first time, someone called me . My vision distorted and Third Person’s Viewpoint was triggered . I groaned at what I saw on the screen .

「 Hwaruruk! 」

The entire screen filled with white flames . It was the stigma of judgement that burned everything in the world . I didn’t have to ask . This was definitely Jung Heewon’s Hell Flames Ignition .

It was fortunate . Jung Heewon was still alive . By the way… it was strange . This wasn’t Jung Heewon’s viewpoint? After a while, I saw the lotus patten shin on Jung Heewon’s forehead within the flames .

…Damn, Nirvana already got to her . Well, Yoo Jonghyuk was hit by it . It would be weird if Jung Heewon wasn’t affected . However, a question still remained . Who called me?

「 Jung Heewon-ssi?” 」

It was an unsophisticated soldier’s voice . It was Lee Hyunsung .

「 Kukukuku! 」

There was a loud sound and the screen vibrated . The surrounding incarnations were blown away . Everywhere touched by the flames started burning . It was a location where I couldn’t help immediately .

In any case, there would definitely be consequences . Jung Heewon was affected by Thought Infection and wouldn’t hesitate . The innocent Lee Hyunsung was helplessly exposed in front of her blade .

Damn, what should I do?

“Cough!”

Suddenly, the darkness burst and the screen was broken . I opened my eyes with a strong sense of nausea and saw Yoo Jonghyuk’s angry expression .

“Why are you going to sleep now?”

Saliva ran down my mouth and I felt incredibly sick . That jerk, did he hit me to wake me up?

…Wait a minute, hit? I gained sudden enlightenment . Yes, this was it . I hated it but it couldn’t be helped .

I spoke to Yoo Jonghyuk . “Hey, hit me one more time . A really strong one . ”

“…What?”

They were misleading words . Then I had to say it again . “No, kill me now . ”
