Everything Connected (1)

Beyond the bead.

Familiar landmarks came into view.

“This is the main camp. And this is the hall, and this is the trace of the uprooted giant tree. The scars of the burning mountain of corpses are still there.”

Seungwoo was engrossed in the glass bead.

A familiar view. It was such a familiar sight that his heart trembled. How long has it been since he saw his hometown like this?

“……This is.”

What the heck.

What’s going on?

His head spun rapidly. He could feel his brain overheating from the desperate mental calculations. A stinging headache made him frown, and he became feverish, his breathing labored.

“You. What is this right now? What do you know?”

[Hahaha. Aren’t you talking too much?]

“Don’t talk nonsense. Answer the question.”

[Question? Which question should I answer? The former? The latter?]

“Both. Give me everything.”

Seungwoo pressured the system.

It was impossible to physically pressure the system, which had no substance, but even with words alone, Seungwoo could make the opponent nervous.

Kugugugung!

Suddenly, the ground shook.

The foundation where the Divine Tree had taken root shook violently.

It began to break.

The sight resembled an earthquake, but the way the entire earth shook as faults continuously broke was excessively alien. The system knew that sight.

[……Still an amazing Telekinesis (虛空攝物) [telekinesis: moving objects with the mind].]

The power to affect the entire land.

Not even abstract concepts like authority. Not even power that has been steadily trained like swordsmanship with a set system and method. It was merely a byproduct of the process of building strength and raising one’s level.

But that was enough for Seungwoo.

[It feels like it’s been ages since I experienced this power.]

His words and actions were as if he had directly experienced that power.

Seungwoo instinctively felt that the system knew him.

And it wasn’t just knowing him. The system knew Woojin very well.

“You know me well.”

The power that moved the ground just now.

It’s not a power that Seungwoo uses often.

It was much more efficient to swing a sword one more time than to use such power. Seungwoo had used Telekinesis on the ground only a handful of times so far.

Roughly calculated, about 7 years ago.

That’s when he used it last.

‘No one should know that I used Telekinesis.’

Most of the people who saw Seungwoo using Telekinesis back then are dead.

They became dew on the battlefield, rolling blood droplets on the ground. Even if there were people who remembered without dying, it would be Eve at most. So where on earth did the system see Seungwoo using Telekinesis?

His head is getting more and more complicated.

Just as the headache was consuming his head.

One conclusion flashed through Seungwoo’s mind.

“……Ah.”

If this conclusion is correct.

The pieces of all the questions he had been thinking about fit together.

However, just because all the questions were answered didn’t necessarily mean it was a good thing, so Seungwoo turned away from that conclusion. The system didn’t miss that hint. The familiar mechanical voice taunted Seungwoo.

[Oh? You’ve suddenly become quiet.]

“…….”

[Looks like you’ve had a strange thought?]

The system chuckled.

Only the voice is mechanical.

It no longer felt like a machine. A foul-mouthed madman who hides his identity behind a mask and enjoys all the sights like a comedy. In Seungwoo’s mind, the system was just such a person.

[A strange thought. Ah, did you have a lewd thought?]

The system teased Seungwoo.

On the other hand, Seungwoo was very calm.

He couldn’t hear the system’s words right now. What was lingering in Seungwoo’s mind right now were the memories he had seen and heard before. The first thing that came to mind was the faces of those who attacked him when he took the key.

He fought the Demon nobles there.

The fight that day was quite vivid.

After that, he delved into other memories.

[Hmm. It seems like you’re not listening to me at all.]

The system muttered to itself.

He didn’t seem to like this situation.

It would be different if it was a situation he was leading. But to be so thoroughly ignored, to the point of being treated like he didn’t exist at all. That’s not the system.

More precisely.

It wasn’t the taste of the person hiding behind the system.

[This won’t do.]

The tone suddenly changed.

A chilling man’s voice swept past, with no trace of the noisy mechanical sound.

This was clearly a voice from the system. However, it was muttered alone because there was no one to hear it.

The system decided not to hide its true feelings any longer.

“…….”

On the other hand, Seungwoo was still lost in thought.

He didn’t care what the system said.

The system was not his concern right now.

What was more important than that was the thought he had come up with. Seungwoo, who had taken out all sorts of memories and run simulations in his head, finally finished his thoughts.

“……Ah.”

A hoarse voice came from his mouth.

The first thing Seungwoo, who had finished his deep contemplation, uttered was not a sentence or a word, but a sigh.

“It was you.”

Seungwoo glared at the empty air.

Seungwoo stared intently at the empty air.

His eyes seemed to be on fire.

“It was you.”

Anger. Resentment surged.

Right now, Seungwoo was venting a deep anger as if he had met an irreconcilable enemy. How angry he was.

─!

Seungwoo was already aiming his sword at the empty air.

It’s not the sword that was broken from piercing the enemy knight just now.

The best sword he has among the swords he has now. He took out the sword entwined with the evil spirit of the snake and aimed it. It didn’t even take a moment for Seungwoo to pull out the sword from the ring and aim it at the empty air.

Whether it’s the sound of reaching into the space in the ring.

Whether it’s the sound of drawing a sword.

Or the speed was so fast that it was impossible to tell whether it was a combination of the two, and the sword was aimed at the empty air, ready to shatter everything with pure white sword energy.

Magic circuit is broken?

His physical condition is not yet perfect?

These trivial restrictions had long since disappeared from his mind.

“You. You’re there.”

[……What on earth are you talking about.]

“I know you’re beyond this space. You’ve been watching from there. I thought I felt a gaze as faint as an ant, but it was none other than you.”

[There’s no point in denying it, right?]

Seungwoo replied with a stiff expression to the system’s words.

Click. Seungwoo, who took off the mask he was wearing on his face, revealed his face as it was.

“It doesn’t matter.”

There was nothing more to hide.

Neither the system nor I. No one has anything to hide.

Because at this moment, the two know each other too well. Seungwoo continued with a sneer.

“Either way, the answer will come out if I cut this space.”

Step by step.

He moved his position and took a stance.

Shang Duan Shi [a basic sword stance].

The most basic and orthodox posture.

And above all.

In the posture he had been in for the longest time.

Seungwoo swung his sword.

Swish.

Without any special cutting sound.

The sword is in the air.

Divided the space.

The sight that reached the end of that mystery was a universe with stars densely packed.

No, no one knows whether that place is the universe or not. It was a conceptual space that Seungwoo’s knowledge could not dare to assert yet.

But one thing was certain: he could feel a presence in that space. The presence was getting closer and closer.

The moment the owner of the presence was accurately detected.

Squeak.

Someone squeezed out of the gap in space.

He was the owner of the presence. That face was a face that Seungwoo also remembered.

“Simon.”

He wasn’t that great of a person.

Simon. A worshiper of the Demonic Sect. Simon, who doesn’t have great power but leads to numerous confusions, is a long-standing headache for the association.

“It was you.”

Right now, Seungwoo wants to kill him.

“The guy who’s been splashing around in the background [stirring up trouble].”

He was the mastermind behind the veil.

“It was you.”

[Actually, I didn’t intend to reveal myself like this.]

“Don’t talk in strange ways like the system, open your mouth. If that’s difficult, should I tear it apart?”

Sreung!

Seungwoo raised his sword.

Then Simon shook his head from side to side and refused.

“Hahaha. Who in the world would want to tear my mouth apart? By the way, revealing me at this time was completely an exception. It was a mistake to say something in advance.”

“……Say something in advance?”

Seungwoo’s eyes flashed.

Does that mean that there was a separate timing for Simon to talk to him later?

‘That guy has some kind of scheme.’

And that scheme was definitely.

It was clear that he had a plan to put Seungwoo in agony.

Seungwoo’s eyes became even more ferocious, and his expression hardened like ice, and a coldness like frost was felt.

The coldness of the sensation of bringing a blade to the neck.

At the same time, murderous intent that chokes the neck.

Simon was startled and raised his head.

What was in front of him right now was a sword.

It was made solely to cut and stab people, and it was the best sword in the world that had sharpened its blade to fulfill its purpose. Simon’s expression twisted strangely at the thought that the sword was aiming at him right now.

“Hahahaha.”

Simon’s expression, who gave a hearty laugh, was stained with fear.

No, I’m not sure if that’s fear.

The pupils shake from time to time. The trembling hands and feet and the sweat dripping on the floor proved that he was very nervous.

“Hahahaha!”

Simon’s voice grew louder.

What popped out of his mouth was a shout of joy.

It wasn’t a false cry to forget fear. It was a thrilling exclamation that purely enjoyed the current situation.

‘A very twisted guy.’

Seungwoo accurately analyzed Simon.

At first, he thought that he was feeling fear because he was overwhelmed by his murderous intent, but he shook his head at Simon’s repeated emotional outbursts.

Simon. That’s a particularly crazy guy.

He doesn’t just feel one emotion at a time.

Right now, the guy is feeling complex emotions simultaneously.

Well, even ordinary people often do that. It’s not for nothing that there’s a saying that if you cry and laugh, you’ll get horns on your butt [a Korean idiom meaning that excessive emotional swings can lead to negative consequences].

But that’s it.

‘Simon’s emotional expression has crossed the line.’

It seemed that the guy did not have a normal emotional system.

The fear he felt at first when he was overwhelmed by my murderous intent was definitely genuine.

However, he felt pleasure in the sensation of being overwhelmed by murderous intent, and soon fear, excitement, and joy began to coexist.

It’s an incredibly terrible personality.

He felt an unpleasant sensation for a moment.

In response, Seungwoo drew the sword in his hand.

───!

Just like cutting through space a moment ago.

This time, he lightly drew his sword and aimed at the opponent.

Seungwoo, who didn’t aim at Simon accurately, but finely chopped the space surrounding him. The moment he sheathed his sword, everything in the space Seungwoo cut was finely chopped.

In such a situation.

“Hmm? Do you mean to fight right away? I wanted to have a little more to say with you.”

Simon, who was cut into dozens of pieces, said with a nonchalant smile.

Pieces of blood and bone poured out of the guy’s body, which was cut like cube steak, but as if he didn’t care about this at all. Simon was smiling without paying any attention.

“Hahahaha.”

Disgusting bastard.
