What Happens When The Second Male Lead Powers Up [EN]: Chapter 633

Color Coordination (7)

Red, the Comet Sword of Mars.

Orange, the Heart of the Four Dragons.

Yellow, the Holy Grail of Wishes.

Green, the Marquis von Pompili’s Armlet.

Blue, the Blessing of the Azure Sea.

Indigo, the Repository of the Ice Silkworm.

And Violet, the Prince’s Blessing.

The seven brilliant rays of light targeted a point in the distant sky.

Then, the aftershock of summoning the Rainbow Bridge engulfed us.

The beautiful white cliffs instantly transformed into the precipice of a divergent worldline.

Flicker.

“Uwaaaah!”

【 】

Flicker, flicker.

“Aaaah, shit!”

“Grab my hand! Ham Gain! My hand!”

【 ┃】

Flicker, flicker, flicker.

-Kwakwakwakwa―!

-Swaaaaaaa!

-Ssaeeeng, ssaeeaeaeng!

“Heuaaaak······!”

‘Kukukung! Kukukung!’ Extreme pressure and violent winds began to press down on and push us away.

I was shocked and horrified, holding onto the Scepter and bowing my head.

There was no other posture I could take.

The gale was so strong that I couldn’t even open my eyes, and the formless mass pouring down on my head made it hard to breathe.

It wasn’t a vacuum, but breathing was so difficult that physiological tears streamed down my face.

The status window flickered frantically like a haunted lamp.

I had no way of knowing how my friends were holding up or if they were all safe.

However, what was certain was that none of us had given up on the rainbow.

I could tell just by looking at the seven sacred beams of light brightly illuminating the round rainbow.

I hurriedly held Perry, who was barely clinging to my robe, in my arms.

The earth rumbled as if tearing apart the cliffs, the rainbow screamed, and the wind battered my ears―

-Kkyaaaa!

“Demi! No―!”

-Hweeiiing! Hweeiiing!

And the little Lesser Panda’s scream.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, struggling to grab the little one somehow.

But Demi had already flown away somewhere and was nowhere to be seen. In the frantically swirling vision, it was impossible to spot anything now.

The last thing I saw was Lea next to the Prince, and I was holding Demi and Perry, when the little one was swept away by the storm.

My heart dropped, and my mind went blank. I cried out desperately until I tasted blood in my throat.

“Demi! Demi! Jung Demi! Hyung [older brother or male friend] is here!”

-Kkya······!

The little one’s faint cry was heard.

I exploded with aether [a magical energy] throughout my body and rubbed my eyes wildly.

I had to secure a clear view somehow.

That way, I could get Demi back before we crossed the worldline.

I really had to use any means possible······!

-Thump!

-Kkyaeung! Kkya!

“Demi!”

I was straining every muscle from head to toe when suddenly the Divine Beast appeared under my chin.

I made a choking sound and hurriedly hugged the child.

For a moment, I thought it was a dream, but it wasn’t.

The plump, small warmth was rubbing its whiskers against my neck. Thank you!

“Focus.”

“Heoeok······!”

Then, the man in front of me glared at me like a beast.

I looked up at his bloodshot eyes and just gaped stupidly.

The Crown Prince was somehow not crumpled like me even in the Rainbow Bridge where strong winds were blowing.

He also looked very tired, but at least he seemed to have the strength left to save the Divine Beast in this chaos.

For a moment, I breathed in the existence of the sun. He fluttered his dark hair and said in a clear voice.

“The soldiers and Elizabeth will hold them back.”

-Hwiuuuuu, hwiuuuung!

“······Take the Crown Prince and leave.”

‘Thank you so much.’ Even before I could move my lips, the man grabbed my Scepter.

I was horrified, wondering why he was doing this, when the staff sank about 15cm into the ground.

‘Eoeoeo!’ I barely leaned on the Scepter, momentarily staggering.

Still, the staff wasn’t shaking like before, so it was much better to have something to lean on.

While I was hurriedly putting Demi and Perry in my arms and wrapping my robe around my waist like a belt―

“Ah.”

Cedric Liester was already walking out of the Rainbow Bridge.

I looked in the direction he disappeared for a moment and bit my lip.

Even after all sorts of things happened, everyone is stepping up to help in the end.

Not just that guy, but also Elizabeth, Francois, and Prince Yeseo······.

So, I must never fail. We must go back.

-Ssaeeaeaek, ssaeeaeaek!

-Urrreureung! Kwakwakwang!

“······.”

I squeezed my eyes shut and then opened them wide again.

-Kwakwakwang! Kwakwakwakwaang!

“······Nim! Palace Lord!”

-Hwiiiiiiii!

“Gain-ssi! I’m okay! I’m okay!”

I heard shouts calling for me from somewhere.

I yelled at the top of my lungs, anticipating that my answer would not be conveyed.

In this place where the distortion of space began and the flow of time was intertwined, the sound sharply split the past and the future, striking my ears back and forth.

The seven colors that drew the rainbow were finally mixed up in front of my eyes, causing nausea.

My stomach churned and my head spun, but I had to endure it no matter what.

I pulled my legs, which were sliding backward, forward again with all my might.

Grasping the Scepter that illuminated the crescent moon even in the storm, I gritted my teeth and braced myself.

It was as if two invisible forces were holding us in their grasp and pulling us from both sides.

A fierce repulsive force trying to discharge us, the foreign substances of the world, and a tenacious attractive force trying to hold onto the elements that influenced the important flow.

‘【Jung Yeseo!】’

-Papapapapak······!

“Keuk, heoeuk!”

-Kkieoeeo!

I desperately squeezed my brain to remember Hyung’s words.

The warmth of the Divine Beasts was giving me strength.

For a moment, my mind was dyed golden, and my five senses faded.

‘【Start gathering the kids and get ready to leave. That Rainbow Bridge, it’s not over just by getting on it.】’

‘【Why is that thing called ‘Rainbow Bridge’ white? Haven’t you figured it out yet?】’

“Heok, heoeok. Heok······.”

If I gathered all the people who had experience possessing a novel and held a competition, I think I would avoid being last no matter how bad I was.

So, I will be able to do it this time too.

‘······Wasn’t it just Bifrost? The bridge in Norse mythology.’

Anyway, I haven’t been extremely lazy. I’ve been working hard in my own way.

‘【That can’t be.】’

‘【The mythology that Toegye-gong [a famous Korean Confucian scholar] took as a motif is strictly only from the Greek side.】’

Of course, there were cases where my thoughts went astray or the situation itself flowed in a different direction.

But I have steadily gathered various information necessary for us and have come this far.

‘‘The power to cut through dimensions’······. This is really amazing.’

There were times when my head hurt because there were too many plot devices, but I didn’t live recklessly without a plan.

It is also true that Hyung has helped me and my friends by providing numerous clues so far, although he has repeatedly criticized me for being useless.

In short, we had enough resources.

‘【It’s going to be very difficult, you know?】’

“Hook, huuu, hook······.”

So, if I stay focused and concentrate,

‘【The act of crossing dimensions is impossible in the first place. Such a thing is not in the original author’s setting book, and neither Hyung nor Hyunju PD-nim [likely a producer] have ever imagined it, and it’s a crazy thing that only you blockheads come up with.】’

If we gather all our strength and pour it out,

‘But Hyung created the plausibility. The seven-colored rainbow.’

‘【That’s right. Then you have to pay the cost that matches that plausibility.】’

We will be able to pay the ‘cost’.

‘【Originally, the four attributes of divine objects and the Holy Grail of Wishes must be gathered in one place to exert divine power, only then will the gate open. That principle did not change even when you crossed over to that place from our house’s veranda.】’

‘【That means this is a new rule in your world.】’

The miracle of the sacred vessel pouring over the essence of the four divine objects.

That is the law of this place that I have newly established with two executions.

‘【But now there are five divine objects, but only two special attributes, and only three of them have owners. You know better than anyone else that it’s an absurd condition to cross dimensions.】’

Hyung’s ‘hidden quest’ is the only plausibility that compensates for our fatal flaws,

‘【Of course, it will be much harder than then.】’

‘【It will take longer, and maybe you won’t succeed at once.】’

“Haa······.”

We have to break through and go out with our bare bodies for the rest that is lacking.

Even if we don’t have time and lack ability, we have to.

-Kwakwakwang! Urrreureung!

“······.”

I clenched my teeth and glared at the top of the sky.

The sacred and sharp convection scratched my cheeks as if to dig them out, but I didn’t budge like a stubborn person.

I didn’t even blink until my face was completely wet, and I confronted it with a blue vein standing out.

Even in the midst of the seven rays of light swirling like a giant mixer, creating chaos······.

-Saaaaaaa······!

At the highest point, black spots were slowly appearing. The corners of my lips twitched involuntarily.

I remember seeing such darkness when I first opened the gate in the Blanquer Duchy.

In the moment of changing my posture and adjusting the Scepter―

Finally, I made eye contact with someone again. It was only for a moment, but time seemed to stop.

“······.”

“······.”

His lips were moving gently.

How that figure could reach my eyes, whether that was real―or whether it was just a fantasy of that person who had always been lying in one corner of my head, I could not know until the end.

Violet blessings were flowing from the man’s fingertips.

A loving smile bloomed on his beautiful lips like forget-me-nots.

Even though my ears were muffled and I couldn’t even hear my own voice properly······.

‘Well done.’

‘It’s a wonderful ending.’

I could hear the man’s greetings like a miracle.

-Ssaeeaeaaeaeng!

-Ppadeudeudeuk!

In an instant, his figure disappeared beyond the storm, and my spring dream also vanished.

I quickly knelt down on one knee on the floor and aimed the end of the Scepter at the zenith.

All the thoughts that had burst out like a boiling pot for a moment turned into bubbles, and my reason was fiercely directed at only one place.

I could see my own pupils glowing purple beyond my tearful eyes that were burning hot.

I swallowed the emotions that were rising to my chin.

And I used that as fuel.

-Kwaaaaaang!

[Cedric! Cut off the top of that rainbow―!]!

A more intense oracle than ever before exploded with aether.

We didn’t have to wait long. Not even a few seconds later―

-Ssaeeaek, hwareureureuk!

-Kukukukukung!

“Keut!”

The Comet Sword of Mars, a ‘dimension-cutting sword’ as a divine art, poured out a sword aura covered with tremendous heat.

The flames containing the will of God soared through the night sky.

The hot wind and sea breeze mixed and threw us around.

I rolled around everywhere, but still didn’t blink and stared up at that place.

I didn’t know any pain.

This method will definitely work.

“It’s opening. It’s opening, it’s opening, it’s opening······.”

If you want to fill in the plausibility, you can bring in the plausibility that you have built up before.

If it’s too hard to make up for it with your body, you can use the existing technology.

I knew that Cedric had used this divine art recently. So······.

-Woojikkeun!

“······Uh?”

At that moment, the Rainbow Bridge groaned loudly once.

I clenched my fist at the overwhelming sense of unease.

Clearly, there was no change in the rainbow-colored chaos.

At least that’s how it looked from inside the bridge. But―

“······Jak-nim [title of respect]! Marquis-nim! Green pieces are falling······!”

······What?

“The green is collapsing! Be careful!”

Marquis Elizabeth’s warning echoed from a distant distance, and Gain-ssi’s choked cry shattered the air right next to my ear.

I opened my mouth blankly, looking up at the sky with a dazed face.

No. No way. This isn’t it······.

-Wajikkeun, woodeudeuk!

“No······.”

As if to laugh at my denial, the gate that had been cut open long and was gaping was slowly closing again.

At the same time, the fall of green fragments one by one became noticeable inside the Rainbow Bridge.

Judging from the fact that all the pieces were covered in bright red mana, I could tell that Francois had used his strength to the end. But.

“Oh my god······.”

-Seuseuseuseu······

But that was the end.

No matter how great a sacred object it was, that bracelet was not a divine object.

It was clear that it could not withstand the resonance of excessively powerful magic and divine power and was destroyed.

Since the enhancement ability item that supported the bridge had disappeared, it was only a matter of time before the gate collapsed.

I staggered and finally sat down on the floor.

The status window kept flickering, and my vessel was also in a state of excessive consumption of aether.

No thoughts formed in my empty head.

The power of the Rainbow Bridge was also noticeably weakening.

It was like being trapped in the eye of a dying typhoon.

-Hwiuuuuu······

-Ssaeeaeaeng, ssaeeaeaeng, ssaeeaeaea······

“No······. Why is that closing? Then we······.”

I stared blankly at the narrowing gate.

No, I can’t be dazed. I have to come up with the next plan quickly. Jung Yeseo······!

-Paaaaat―!

At that moment, the ground beneath our feet was filled with bright red magic circles.

I was startled and hurriedly looked around.

An immeasurably complex induction formula that was as straight as if it had been measured with a ruler was serving as the cornerstone of the collapsing Rainbow Bridge.

The muscles under my eyes twitched terribly.

Four circles. 4th class mage.

“Good heavens, Shu-nim [term of respect]―!”

“We will definitely succeed this time!”

‘Of course!’ Along with Noeon’s desperate cry, fierce mana burst out.

Soon, the surroundings became noisy like a highway opening a window and speeding.

Soon after, the ground under my feet sank, and the front of my eyes went dark.
