Chapter 264

“The fourth bookmark . ”

[The exclusive skill ‘Way of the Wind Lv . 11 (+1) is activated!]

I avoided the flying sting of the Scorpion Goddess . If the strength of her body hadn’t been suppressed, the poison would’ve vaporized the whole area . However, it was fine since I had Way of the Wind .

I stepped on the melted gorge and release the White Pure Star Energy . My sword cut the bandages of the Last Pharaoh . The moment my sword hit the bandages, there was the sound of a drum beat . King Oedipus didn’t miss this gap and flew forward .

[The exclusive skill ‘Beast King’s Sensitivity Lv . 10 (+1)’ has been activated . ]

Normally, this was an impossible fight . Originally, only one bookmark could be used at a time .

[The effect of ‘Looked into the Abyss’ has improved all your skills!]

[Currently, two bookmarks are being used at the same time . ]

[The duration of Bookmark is reduced by half . ]

All my skills had improved since the last time I checked my Attributes Window .

“The fifth bookmark!”

[The exclusive skill ‘Electrification’ Lv . 12 (+2) has been activated . ]

I became smaller through Miniaturization . Then I turned into a point of light and penetrated the torso of the Last Pharaoh . The Last Pharaoh suffered a fatal wound and collapsed to the ground with a scream .

I was fighting with the history I had built up . The things I read . The times I had lived . Everything that I had . How many more flashes of light were seen and how much blood was spilled?

King Oedipus opened his mouth and spoke in a slightly weary tone . [Great, Demon King of Salvation . ]

“…”

[Honestly, I didn’t think you would be this strong . ]

Nevertheless, there wasn’t a look of defeat on his face . Shadows flocked to the top of the gorge . They were the other constellations belonging to Melledon and Bercan .

Duke Bercan .

Mysterious Bird of the Nile .

Supreme God of Light .

…

The number of constellations that appeared was close to 10 . They looked down here from the high cliff of the gorge . I was stifled by the presence of the constellations but I didn’t back down .

“Are you just going to watch from there?”

Rather, I raised the ‘status’ that was sleeping inside me . I was also a constellation . I didn’t lose to them in terms of ‘status . ’ Some of the constellations were crushed by the status I released and stumbled back . However, it wasn’t everyone .

[You’re an interesting child . ]

All of a sudden, some of the constellations on top of the canyon bowed and retreated . Someone was approaching from among the constellations .

His long, golden hair waved every time he took a step and his four arms drew a beautiful rainbow . The third eye on his forehead looked down here like the sun coming out .

[Mitra was trying to get his own holiday off so I was wondering what type of person you were . ]

His blinding appearance made his modifier obvious .

‘The Supreme God of Light . ’

I even knew his true name . “Surya . ”

Dazzling sparks appeared when I mentioned his real name . It was a sight that attested to the status of the name .

[Kid, do you know my name?]

“I know . ”

The nebula Vedas had eight great Lokapala . They were the guardians of the eight cardinal directions, including north, south, east and west .

“Surya of the southwest . ”

Surya was one of the eight Lokapala .

[The constellation ‘Mass Production Maker’ is frowning . ]

[The constellation ‘Goddess of Love and Beauty’ is accusing the ‘Supreme God of Light’!]

[The constellation ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’ is pointing out that this behaviour doesn’t fit the status of the Supreme God of Light!]

He was a powerful being equal to the 12 gods of Olympus . This presence was staring at me .

[If so, you know that you can’t win this game . ]

The status of over 1,000 years emerged from his body and I suppressed the desire to step back . He wasn’t a constellation I could fight against . Lokapala Surya was different from King Oedipus and Cleopatra, who were humans that became constellations .

[Come to Vedas . You will die even if you win this game . ]

“I don’t want to . ”

[You don’t know the world that will appear after the giant story . Do you think you can stand against that power alone? It isn’t a story that only one star can afford . ]

I knew what he was saying . Perhaps the world that Surya saw was different from the world that I saw . Just by obtaining a single ‘giant story’, the level of the world that the constellation could perceive was entirely different .

“Nope, I can afford it . I’m not alone . ”

[The possibility of a new story is germinated!]

The 73rd Demon Realm wriggled as if in response to my words . Surya felt the vibrations and said,[You aren’t alone… how funny . Who is with you now?]

“A person who is more familiar with the cause and effect law than anyone else is saying this… it is truly ridiculous . ”

A powerful storm started to flow from Surya’s incarnation body . The constellations around him turned pale . Still, he couldn’t exercise all his power in this game, no matter his status . Sparks burst out in a dazzling manner .

In this game, Melledon had won two points . These two points might be able to free one of Surya’s stigmas . I couldn’t let that happen . As I moved, the constellations blocked my way .

A fist containing the power of Electrification struck the face of the constellations . The Broken Heart of a Young Gold Dragon repeatedly pumped and created a massive amount of magic power .

I didn’t hesitate to release this strength . A little more, just a bit more . I had to draw my magic power to the limits .

The constellations couldn’t cope with the power of Electrification and fell down while bleeding . It was a transcendent power that could even destroy constellations . The white lightning burnt the bodies of the constellations .

[The participant ‘Demon King of Salvation’ has killed the helper ‘Scorpion Goddess’!]

[The participant ‘Demon King of Salvation’ has killed the helper ‘The Last Pharaoh’!]

The broken heart of the gold dragon couldn’t afford the magic power and the energy in my body suddenly fell sharply . I gritted my teeth and moved . I dealt a blow to Duke Bercan and immediately turned my back to him, striking a blow to the Mysterious Bird of the Nile .

[You are overly affected by the character!]

[The excessive use of Bookmark can leave a permanent injury on your soul!]

Meanwhile, the Supreme God of Light wasn’t perplexed at all as he saw me moving closer .

[I have watched you for a long time . You always borrow the power of other beings . ]

The Beast King’s Sensitivity wrapped around my body while I prepared to deal a blow with Electrification .

[From the first scenario to the present, you have never fought with your own power . Do you really

think you can build up your own story?]

[The history that you’ve learnt is just history that came from stealing . ]

It felt like I was facing hard steel . The Supreme God of Light used only one of his four arms to block the blow from Electrification .

[It isn’t yours . ]

The third eye of the god shone as brightly as the sun . At that moment, I realized what stigma Surya had released .

[The constellation ‘Supreme God of Light’ is invoking the ‘Third Eye . ’]

My vision distorted and all the light around me disappeared . In the darkness, I felt the edge of this space gradually crumbling .

[There is no ‘you’ in your story . ]

Everything around me was already Surya’s space .

[You will die alone . ]

The Third Eye had the power to control time and space . It was the power of Surya’s Third Eye . I was confused because I didn’t think Surya would use this power so quickly .

How could I get out of here? It wasn’t possible to use Electrification and Way of the Wind .

[The legendary story ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’ has activated!]

I didn’t know what to read . King of a Kingless World wasn’t suitable . Person who Opposes the Miracle was also ambiguous . The same was true for One Who Hunted the King of Disasters .

The space was now reduced to one square metre . What should I do?

[The story ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’ is screaming . ]

My back was tingling when I heard a sound . It sounded familiar, as if someone was eating a story .

「 De li cious food . 」

I looked back and a small mouth was stuck to my back, eating my story .

「 Kim Dok ja is a fo ol . 」

It was the Fourth Wall . This bastard wasn’t going to help me? The torn apart ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’ was now nearly useless and was entering its stomach .

I forgot the urgency and shouted at the absurd situation . By the way, the thing that came out of my mouth wasn’t a yell .

「 The Fourth Wall said, “Ku waa aaah!” 」

An explosive burst of sound poured into the surrounding space . The space trembled like it was a living creature and a gigantic crack formed .

[The stigma ‘The Third Eye’ is shuddering . ]

I realized what was going on . The Third Eye was a mental ability that controlled time and space by manipulating cognition . The Fourth Wall was the strongest skill I had in regards to a mental barrier .

[The constellation ‘Supreme God of Light’ is astonished!]

The darkness collapsed like glass breaking . Once the light returned, the first thing I saw was tears coming from the eye on the forehead of the Supreme God of Light .

[You… what are you?]

The astonished true voice resonated and the other constellations hurriedly rushed towards me .

[You dare . . die!]

My magic power was at the bottom . I didn’t have enough power to open Bookmark again . Nevertheless, it wasn’t necessary anymore . It had been 20 minutes since the game started .

[The fog of the gorge is thickening . ]

There was a groan from somewhere in the gorge and the movements of the constellations stopped . The nervous constellations looked at the top of the gorge and a dark shadow fell towards this side .

I nervously slid down a rocky wall . It had been a long time since I saw something like this . The length was five kilometers . The body with a circumference of over 10 metres was falling towards the ground along with the collapsed upper part of the gorge . The constellations let out warning signals but the large ones were crushed under the scales of the giant monster .

[The helper ‘Mysterious Bird of the Nile’ has been killed by the ‘Apocalypse Imoogi . ’]

The monster burst like a bug and coiled up in the gorge, crying towards the air . The Apocalypse Imoogi . It was the name of the monster I had been waiting for .

[Damn! Don’t back down!]

The constellations were overwhelmed by the sudden disaster and started attacking with their stigmas . The one who killed the monster could get a powerful team buff .

However, there was no way I could knock it down . According to Ways of Survival, the Red Dragon of the Apocalypse who appeared in Armageddon had the fearsome power to blow up a third of the stars in the sky with a single tail .

[Kuaaack!]

Of course, this imoogi wasn’t at the level of the Red Dragon of the Apocalypse but there were no constellations who could deal with this monster at the beginning of the game .

[Kueeeeok!]

The constellations screamed as they were torn apart by the teeth of the imoogi while those struck by the tail were blown away . The unstoppable system messages were signalling the devastation of the gorge .

In a moment, seven participants and helpers died in the gorge . The surviving constellations escaped from the gorge using the sacrifice of other constellations .

Surya’s cold voice echoed through the gorge . [You have a wicked trick up your sleeve . However, you won’t be able to make it . ]

The Apocalypse Imoogi struck the constellations and was now looking at me . A red sphere gathered at its mouth in order to dissolve the last insect . The red flames of the apocalypse . It was the fire of judgment that could melt everything on the ground .

The plan was okay . Melledon and Bercan suffered deadly damage and the disadvantage of the game was now balanced to an almost equal level .

…I would’ve liked to have a bit more strength left . My death here meant we would be deprived of our sentences . I felt regret and emptiness . If we went to the third game… was there a chance for us to win?

My eyes slowly closed as dark red flames headed towards my head . The waves of heat enveloped my body and there was the sizzling sound of rocks melting . Still, I didn’t die no matter how much time passed .

[A new helper has been summoned to the game!]

I opened my eyes and saw someone in front of me . He wore a neat commando uniform . The soldier with the special forces mark on his shoulder was blocking the flames with a huge shield .

[The constellation ‘Master of Steel’ is looking at you . ]

He had endured even the hottest Hell Flames Ignition .

“A captain of South Korea’s special operations command…”

I watched the trembling man swallowing and sighed . ‘How’ or ‘why . ’ I wanted to ask but didn’t say anything . Numerous voices were pouring towards me through Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint and all my words were pointless .

Afterwards, a giant ‘chimera dragon’ was seen falling from the sky .

[A new helper has been summoned to the game!]

I saw the little girl sitting on the head of the dragon and funnily enough, felt a bit tearful .

“Ahjussi!”

The helpers that Yoo Jonghyuk called finally reached the battlefield .
