Chapter 372
blue blood.
(2) Thirteen slaughter dolls sharpened their blades for a month to catch one person.
The slayer, who reigns as a symbol of fear among the constellations, recognized me as [a person obviously more powerful than himself] and prepared to hunt.
“Discard the memories of the last 30 days.”
The result is this.
“Wow, whoops… … .
Big, heh...
… !”
Eventually I vomited.
It was the price of dispersing the Aurors to two people to protect Fox and Hiya.
Thanks to this, the fox and Hwiya were safe.
But all the aurors that had been flowing through my veins had dried up, and the aurors that had filled my heart were also exposed.
'I'm going to die.
this.' I got down on my knees.
'No, let's die.' Blood was constantly flowing from his mouth.
'I die like this and return to the day before.
You know what strategy the enemy will come up with, so you can respond later.
let's die The only way to survive is to die.' In the midst of hellish pain squeezing my head, I was searching for the only way to live, or path to death.
'There's no way to stop the next blow anyway.
let's not stop Leave it alone.
You will die!' Cool.
I vomited a lump of blood.
And I waited for the sixth attack to hit me.
I didn't know that a hunter, who could have been slaughtered, would attack him with all his might, treating himself as the weak and me as the strong to this extent.
But only this time.
I just didn't know this time.
Next time, in the next fight, for sure...
… .
“Cool! Whoops, whoops...
… .
Whoa...
… ?”
Why? “What are you doing… … ." The next attack, did not come.
"Kill me, please..." I shook my head hard.
blue eyes.
eyes.
Nine pairs of blues surrounded me from all sides, looking down at me.
“It doesn’t kill.”
"What… … ." What.
"I don't kill you.
The screaming sky." Five of the nine slaughter dolls approached.
The right arm, the left arm, the right leg, the left leg, the limbs were seized one by one, and even blood was traced to the nape of the neck.
Literally, their whole body was blocked by the dolls.
investigated.”
When the blood flow stopped, I couldn't even move my mouth at will.
It was hard to breathe.
No, it was blocking my blood flow enough to barely breathe.
"There are many constellations who are interested in you.
I went looking for you, and I wanted to know what they knew about you.
It wasn't until the time of the annihilation of the nine constellations that an outline of you was drawn." Now that I see, not only did they mobilize all 13 corps to catch one, but they also slashed 9 constellations to gather information.
“Ugh, uh…”
“It was unusually fast to grow stronger in a limited time.
It could mean that you have that much talent, but I've come up with a more rational hypothesis.
It is the hypothesis that [time is not limited] for you.”
to cry.
I remembered the conversation I had with Salcheon before the fight began.
“You and I have definitely met.”
“Really.
Are you a time talent?”
At that time, Salcheonseong responded very plainly.
From the beginning, I thought it was because I had a simple personality, but I guess I expected that I had the time ability before the fight even started.
Was it because the reaction was blunt because it was already expected? “Of course, I didn’t know how he was manipulating time.
Because there were too many cases.
But in any case, it was clear that [time] was your resource and your strength.”
Thinking about it.
Salcheonseong was originally a hunter.
Only after figuring out in advance what kind of enemy he had to face, why he was strong, and what his weaknesses were, he went into battle.
A past that already feels like a distant past---- When I first met Salcheonseong on the 50th floor, Salcheonseong said this and didn't hunt monsters.
『In order to kill a person who dies by splitting in half, you have to cut it in 'half' exactly as its name suggests.』 『The essence of 'Screamer' is in the scream, so bury it with a sound and kill it.”
An attacker who thoroughly studies the enemy's weaknesses.
that was celestial.
And this time, Salcheonseong had studied the existence of Nara thoroughly and then set out to attack.
"Therefore, I do not kill you.
The sky that gathers screams.
It just seals time from you." seal.
"how… … ." "Simple.
It will separate the time and space of this place from the outside.
And I will lock you in ice and leave you here.
Even if it's ice, it's not ordinary ice.
It's ice that never melts." "You will never get out of this place where time has stopped forever.
I will make you like that." Goddammit, "You're talking about dropping people...
in eternal torture....
“I don’t know what you mean.”
Sal Cheonseong tilted his head and pulled out a dagger from his arms.
“Aren’t you a human being?”
A cool feeling cut through my chest and penetrated my heart ['Frosted Claws - Replica' begins to seal you.] The dagger that Salcheonseong pierced into my heart was an ice knife.
As he wandered around the world, he must have obtained all kinds of strange items.
The ice sword also seems to be one of the collections of the Sacred Heart, and as soon as it penetrated into my chest, it evoked an unusual effect.
It becomes possible only to think.] [After a while, your world will be sealed.] [Time remaining, 61 seconds.] Beep, beep-, beep.
As the clavicle and shoulders grew, as if a blue flower bud was blooming, the ice gradually spread around her chest.
"It's infinitely impossible to get here in 60 seconds and save you.
And after a minute the stage itself will be quarantined.
I'll make it happen." And as my senses faded away, I realized that I had felt a chill in my chest somewhere.
“What do you mean?”
“Moorim Kangho… … .
The sealing art I wrote to [Hwangryong staying in the Great Lake]...
… .
Is this...
… ?”
Sal Cheon-seong tilted his head slightly.
"Yes.
It's amazing that you even know that." "......." "I found this item while searching for a means to defeat you.
When I sealed [Hwangryong staying in the Great Lake], I mobilized various items, and the record that I used the item along with it is also clearly left.”
how can i forget this feeling.
this chill.
this cold.
The ice and snow that stayed frozen forever in Master's world.
[Hwangryong in the Great Lakes] was originally a constellation that ruled Master's world.
Hwangryong had a compassion sword stuck in the middle of his chest, and he couldn't die forever, he just rotted.
It was a celestial act.
It was at this moment that I found out that it was not only the compassion sword that Sal Cheonseong used to seal the Hwangryong, but also this item imprinted on my heart.
therefore.
The winter that killed Master's world is now trying to kill me.
[Time left, 21 seconds.] If I had had the strength to bite my teeth, a squeak would have reverberated throughout the room.
[Time remaining, 20 seconds.] Yes.
liveliness.
I'll admit it.
You are a scary hunter.
Why the swordsman couldn't kill you, and how you drew with the swordsman, this time I realized for sure.
You are undoubtedly on the same level as the swordsman, who poured all your energy by mobilizing 13 bodies.
It is not inferior to the only one that went up to the 99th floor, Geomje.
[Time remaining, 19 seconds.] So it drove me into defeat.
Not just death, but defeat in the true sense of the word.
At this rate, time will stop flying, and the stage on the 81st floor will be isolated and thrown away, becoming a deserted island where friends cannot come to rescue.
okay.
If I were made up of one person.
[Time remaining, 18 seconds.] If I had been alone like you, I would have had no choice but to lose.
[Time remaining, 17 seconds.] Raviel.
['Screaming Sky' sends a message to 'Silver Lily Duke'] I'm sorry.
['Screaming Sky' asks 'Silver Lily Duke' to die.] Please die now.
“……?”
Salcheonseong looked at me and tilted his head once more.
“I don’t understand.”
Ice now covered my whole body.
It was cold.
My whole body was cold.
The only parts that have not yet been covered by the eternal frozen ground were my face, that is, my eyes and mouth.
Salcheonseong was looking at my bare skin, not even a span of it left.
“Why are you laughing?”
"under… … ." That's right.
Am I smiling? The ice crawled up close to the corner of my mouth, so I didn't realize it.
But obviously my lips were drawing arcs.
It wasn't a laugh, it was a smile of genuine joy.
"Can you imagine? ……”
"what?" “Someone who dies in less than ten seconds after being asked to die.”
The left eye was covered with ice.
“Do you have such a person?”
The right eye is frozen in ice.
“No.”
nose bridge.
“Hundreds of years have passed, and despite the opportunity, they have not taken that path… … .
I would have chosen to be alone.”
yet.
“So, you lost to me.
lifeliness.”
lips.
[Time left.] [5 seconds.] Heart.
[4 seconds.] Just before freezing.
['A certain regressor's love (EX)' is activated.] [3 seconds.] My breath stopped.
[You share a timeline.] [Timeline ends.] [2 seconds.] Death closed my eyes before winter came.
[You are dead.] [1 second.] In my head, two layers of voices overlapped.
[Sealing complete.
You are sealed-----] [Return to 24 hours ago] .

again.
when you open your eyes “What should I eat today to spread the word that I ate well?”
"Well.
I have been wanting to eat fish and chips for a long time.”
“Ahaha, that’s quite an unexpected menu choice!”
It was a very familiar place to me.
shared accommodation.
In the middle of the place where my colleagues, friends, and family gather when they want to get together, chat when they want to chat and eat what they want to eat, sitting on the sofa, I opened my eyes.
"......." I'm back to 24 hours ago.
“What do you think, Master?”
The Heretic Inquisitor sat on the opposite sofa and looked at me.
“Anyway, fish and chips are so… … .
what? master.
You look weird.”
"Yes?" At the heretic inquisitor's words, the Black Dragon looked at me as well.
Count too.
poison ivy too.
paladin too.
People who shared time with me and promised to share in the future were looking at me.
“Really.
It's a strange expression." “That’s the way it is.
It’s like a tuna face that I asked because I thought it was food, but later realized it was a plastic bag.”
“Hey, what kind of face is that… … ?”
“Nisha.
It's all your fault for suggesting you eat monster foods like fish and chips.
I'm pretty sure it's better to eat the fries alone." “Oh, the fries are good.
Let's make french fries.
It's been quite a while.
Back in the day, there was a day when I used to eat all three meals a day with hamburgers when I was at work.”
"Well.
This is a very, very old story!”
I smiled.
“Ahaha… .”
really.
It doesn't seem like it will.
“Bambolina.”
“Yes, Master?”
“I’m sorry, but please bring me the alarm clock.”
The Inquisitor took out his smartphone and activated the alarm clock app.
The Inquisitor tilted his head as he handed me the phone.
“I’ll give it to you.
Why are you suddenly looking for an alarm?”
“Well, you need a stopwatch, not an alarm to be exact… … .
Let's see.”
I hit the timer.
The clock, which had read 00:00:00, immediately began to spin violently.
I smiled and nodded my head.
"Yes.
Now it's done.
Wait, we’ll see how long it will take.”
“… … ? I don't know what's going on, but if you need a master, yes.
Feel free to use it!”
"thanks." I buried my back on the sofa.
My friends looked at me like I was weird, but I went back to chatting as if it wasn't One Two Day that I was weird anyway.
The snack menu for the night was decided a day earlier with french fries.
The viper went to the kitchen with Sylvia to fry the potatoes.
1 min.
A comfortable time passed.
3 minutes.
The Paladin and the Count began to show off their affection under the guise of a quarrel.
6 minutes.
Black Dragon Zhou slapped the two of them in the back with three-stranded slippers, telling them to stop.
7 minutes.
8 minutes.
9 minutes.
And when the number 00:09:21 is engraved on the phone screen -----------.
“Hey, you can’t do this here!”
It was noisy outside.
The voice of one of the sama-guns in charge of the dormitory's security rang urgently.
Tub.
Tub.
The footsteps of more than one person, no, dozens of footsteps were transmitted through the hallway to here in the living room.
The Black Dragon and the Heretic Inquisitor immediately stood up.
He was wearing a gym uniform and had three slippers, and even Black Dragon Joo didn't have one, but the two of them looked infinitely wary.
And I stared at the sound of footsteps approaching from the hallway beyond the living room door.
“This is the place where the leaders of our tower gather.
No matter how hard it is...
… ." "Shut up.
Miscellaneous." The living room door went out and fell.
The friends, who were trying to rush in thinking it was an assassin, stopped when they saw the person appearing from where the door had disappeared, and then looked at the intruder with eyes full of astonishment.
But the intruder didn't pay any attention to the landlord's gaze.
With the dozens of knights behind him, the intruder slowly turned his head to look around the living room.
Our eyes met.
The moment our eyes met, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
“Nine minutes and 43 seconds, Raviel.”
“You were 13 minutes and 27 seconds.
It has been proven that I am much faster than you.
Confucius." Raviel smiled.
His red eyes lit up.
"So, what kind of motherfucker are we going to have?"375.
