Chapter 304 Why was Yoo Jonghyuk here? I was confused as I guided the returnees to safely land on the ground . In front of the monument, Yoo Jonghyuk scattered a heavy status and the returnees nervously stepped back . Flying Fox asked, "Brother, this person . . . ?"
"Get back and I'll talk to him . " I signalled to Flying Fox and slowly approached Yoo Jonghyuk . After all, our aim was to leave a marker on the base . The scenario was completed once we accomplished this .
The moment I got within a few dozen metres of Yoo Jonghyuk, the momentum flowing from Yoo Jonghyuk's body changed . I gulped and opened my mouth . "Yoo Jonghyuk . "
Understandably, my voice wouldn't be delivered properly .
"Get lost . Please . "
Yoo Jonghyuk didn't move . Yoo Jonghyuk would've become stronger, just as I become stronger after going to the 1863rd round . Based on what I felt, I couldn't guarantee the outcome . Then there was only one way .
[The exclusive skill, 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' has been activated!]
This way, my body would pass out and I would transfer to Yoo Jonghyuk . . .
[The exclusive skill, 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' is cancelled . ]
[Your complex understanding of this person is insufficient!]
[There isn't enough comprehension to understand the current state of this person . ]
. . . What? I stepped back with surprise . This was the first time . This was definitely the first round . It wasn't the 1863rd round that I didn't know well .
The Yoo Jonghyuk in front of me felt strange . What happened in the last three years?
"Brother! Avoid it!"
If I hadn't been pushed by Flying Fox, I would've been cut by Yoo Jonghyuk's blade . Flying Fox exclaimed . "Let's do it together! I think he's dangerous!"
" . . . It isn't possible . "
"Why? Do you know him?"
I stared at Flying Fox . "He is my colleague . "
The words that came out of my mouth were funny . I felt I could understand Yoo Jonghyuk's feelings in the past .
Yoo Jonghyuk and I didn't fit well . Our personalities were different and the way we carried out the scenarios differed . The way we communicated with others was also different . Nevertheless, we saved each other's lives on a number of occasions and arrived here .
" . . . Thus, he can't be killed . "
I put my hand into my coat . Just as Yoo Jonghyuk had his own beliefs, I had my own beliefs .
[Blade of Faith is activated!]
It wasn't my Unbroken Faith . This blade was much glossier than my sword . It was the one that belonged to the 1863rd round Han Sooyoung . The ether that rose from the Blade of Faith was a deep black .
[The rating of this item doesn't match the fairness level of the scenario . ]
[The item's stats are partially adjusted . ]
The Unbroken Faith of the 95th scenario that was refined using Han Sooyoung's method .
Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes were shaking slightly . I couldn't see what I looked like now . Perhaps the ether blade being swung was like a giant tentacle .
"Stop it, Yoo Junghyuk . I have no intention of fighting . "
How could I not fight against Yoo Jonghyuk? How could I tell him that I was Kim Dokja? The moment I avoided Yoo Jonghyuk's blade, I had a flash of a thought .
. . . Wait a minute, perhaps? I couldn't be sure . In addition, the effect would be distorted because of the scenario penalty . Still, it was better than doing nothing .
[You have triggered the item Midday Tryst . ]
[The connection with the current target is good . ]
[Due to the scenario penalty, the item username has been changed to 'Ugly Squid' . ]
I immediately sent a message to Yoo Jonghyuk .
-Yoo Jonghyuk! I am Kim Dokja! Don't cut me!
The Midday Tryst . It was an item used for communication when Yoo Jonghyuk had died one day . Surprisingly, the item was still valid .
[The scenario penalty has distorted the message sent . ]
-Come on, sunfish .
. . . Son of a bitch . The distortion went this far? I was slightly vigilant as I watched Yoo Jonghyuk . The contents were strange but the fact that Yoo Jonghyuk received the message was important .
The Midday Tryst was an item that could only be used between set people . The name might've changed but the quick-witted Yoo Jonghyuk should guess my identity just by receiving the message .
-Yoo Jonghyuk! I said stop! I am Kim Dokja!
[The scenario penalty has distorted the message sent . ]
-I am the king of the sea .
Yoo Jonghyuk stared at me for a moment and slowly lowered his sword . I took a deep breath . Did he finally notice?
A huge stream of air flowed from Yoo Jonghyuk's body . His whole body was covered with a blue light before emitting a golden torrent . Yoo Jonghyuk released his transcendent power .
I panicked and asked, " . . . Yoo Jonghyuk?"
My head was pounding . If I was Yoo Jonghyuk, I would've noticed my existence just by receiving a message . Then why? The moment the two swords collided, my body was bounced back . There was a shock that seemed to break my wrist and a single question rose .
「 Why was Midday Tryst activated? 」
Midday Tryst was a temporary item . After a certain time elapsed, the period of use had to be extended by paying additional coins . Yet Midday Tryst was activated without any delay . In other words, someone had been extending that period of time .
[The character 'Yoo Jonghyuk' is telling the giant story 'Demon World's Spring' . ]
Finally, Yoo Jonghyuk opened the giant story . At this moment, I realized . Now Yoo Jonghyuk was sincere .
"Dammit . . . !"
I didn't back down and faced him .
[The giant story 'Demon World's Spring' is being told . ]
I wouldn't lose if it was the same big story . In the first place, I was the best speaker for this story . I aimed the status of a demon king towards Yoo Jonghyuk who was running away .
[The constellation 'Demon King of Salvation' is opening the status of a demon king!]
A huge fortress was seen in the centre of Seoul . It was my industrial complex that was once located in the 73rd Demon Realm . It was sent to Seoul with the help of Secretive Plotter . I would never lose as long as the industrial complex was here .
[The demonic energy in Seoul is raising your status!]
Black wings tore from my spine . The dark attributed poured into the ether blade of Unbroken Faith . The transcendent sword and Blade of Faith clashed and caused a roar . The first conflict was intense .
Yoo Jonghyuk and I were both pushed back a step and at the same time, we wielded our swords to each other again . Unbelievable explosions occurred as the sword and sword hit each other . We struck, struck and struck each other again . We fought desperately as if it was the only conversation we could share with each other .
I couldn't believe it . I knew that Yoo Jonghyuk was strong . I expected him to become stronger in the meantime .
However, I didn't expect him to be this strong . I couldn't win against Yoo Jonghyuk despite using Way of the Wind and Electrification . Yoo Jonghyuk's expression didn't change as he stood there like a solid wall .
I couldn't help smiling . I thought this whole thing was a misunderstanding . I thought Yoo Jonghyuk attacked me because he didn't recognize me .
Nevertheless, it wasn't like that . Throughout the fight, Yoo Jonghyuk didn't say a word . He was a born swordsman and had written his story with the sword for countless years . Thus, I could see it .
[Your understanding of the character 'Yoo Jonghyuk' has increased!]
Yoo Jonghyuk recognized me and knew I would come here . I didn't know how it was possible but it was obvious . He was waiting for me here . The battle was temporarily interrupted by a child who jumped in the way .
"Stop it! Jonghyuk ahjussi! Stop it!"
It was Shin Yoosung . The small child stood in front of me and started weeping .
"This squid is Dokja ahjussi!"
In the end, I remained silent . I looked around and saw the party members gathered . Jung Heewon's expression was stiff, Lee Jihye looked worried and Lee Gilyoung was excited . I could feel eyes looking at me from the top of the Demon World's fortress .
. . . It was a person I had long resented at one time .
The inhabitants of the Demon World were also seen . They were people I met in the 73rd Demon Realm . Aileen was there, Mark as well . Perhaps she ran from a distance as the panting Han Sooyoung looked down at me from a nearby high-rise building .
The history of my life was gathered in one place . However, none of them interfered in the fight .
Yoo Jonghyuk stopped before raising his blade again . It was like he didn't hear Shin Yoosung's words .
Shin Yoosung shouted again, "Uh . . . t-that is actually a lie! That isn't Dokja ahjussi! I-It is just a disaster I tamed! A monster I tamed! I'll control him well so please forgive me!"
"Yoosung . "
I stretched out a hand and placed it on Shin Yoosung's shoulder . Then Jung Heewon pulled Shin Yoosung back with her . Jung Heewon's steadfast eyes were shaking . At this moment, I realized something .
Yes, it was like this . I lowered my head and Jung Heewon avoided my gaze .
[Your understanding of the character 'Jung Heewon' has rapidly increased!]
I looked back and saw Yoo Jonghyuk approaching . Yoo Jonghyuk was gathering the energy of the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship . The ultimate technique was being prepared at the tip of Yoo Jonghyuk's blade .
I nodded . Yoo Jonghyuk probably had something he wanted to prove to me .
"Bring it on, Yoo Jonghyuk . "
The moment I raised my sword, Yoo Jonghyuk and I clashed head on . There was a blinding glare right under my nose .
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' has entered the channel!]
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' has entered the channel!]
[Multiple constellations are entering the channel!]
The constellations felt our clash and entered the channel .
[The constellation 'King Heungmu the Great' is surprised at your status!]
[The constellation 'One-eyed Maitreya' is admiring the incarnation Yoo Jonghyuk . ]
Some constellations were shocked to see Yoo Jonghyuk and I .
[The constellation 'Queen of the Darkest Spring' realizes something and is sighing . ]
Some were surprised in a completely different sense . The sound of an explosion occurred again and I rolled across the ground . My eyes peered at the sky through the dust while gazes poured down on me . Laughter emerged . " . . . It is dirty . "
I hadn't used all the means available to me but I didn't want to . It was a confrontation of pure power and I was pushed back by Yoo Jonghyuk . The sound of Yoo Jonghyuk's footsteps approaching was heard .
His Black Demon Sword stabbed the ground right next to my head . Yoo Jonghyuk stared down at me with his distinctive eyes . I watched him and spoke,
"Take a look . Hey . "
Yoo Jonghyuk didn't say anything but I could tell . Perhaps this was what Yoo Jonghyuk wanted to prove . This was Yoo Jonghyuk's last three years . This was what he really wanted to say .
I laughed . "I didn't take care of it . "
The towering monument behind Yoo Jonghyuk was shining . The base that was the goal . One man was talking from the monument .
"Hey Brother! I just write here?"
The moment the surprised Yoo Jonghyuk turned around, Flying Fox moved his feet . He quickly kicked and carved a stylish marker on the monument . It was a phrase I told him in advance .
[The 163rd returnees group has cleared the scenario!]
My body was covered in smoke . To be exact, it wasn't just me but the other returnees . The appearance of the returnees was changing inside the smoke .
[You are no longer a disaster . ]
In the pupils of my party members, my figure lying on the ground could be seen . Shin Yoosung burst into tears and ran over . I patted the child who was in my arms .
"It has been three years . Three years . . . "
Lee Gilyoung belatedly ran over and hugged my waist while crying .
"Hyung, I knew you were alive! I knew from the beginning that you were Dokja hyung!"
[You have met the clear conditions for Main Scenario 45 - Glorious Return!]
[The rewards for the scenario are being prepared . ]
[You have met the progress conditions of the 46th main scenario!]
I hugged the children and slowly stood up . The top of the monument was clearly visible in the dusty sky . I pointed to the monument .
"It is a commemorative gift . "
[The name of the nebula you belong to is officially announced . ]
[The site of the nebula you belong to has been established . ]
The marking on the monument was as followed:
-Kim Dokja's Company .
I arbitrarily decided the name of the nebula . The party members approaching this way looked at me in a dumbfounded manner . Lee Jihye has swollen eyes while Han Sooyoung sighed and shook her head . I watched them and wondered, "Are you going to join me?"
I could see the faces of the upcoming party members . One person, one person . They were all the people I wanted to see . The moment I opened my arms to the running group members, a stinging pain struck the back of my head . In my gradually blurring consciousness, I could see Jung Heewon's face .
