Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 106:

I was fighting a nightmare.

It was a fight that can only be described that way.

A fusion of nightmares. From the body of the giant looking down on this world, bits of nightmare flesh began to wriggle and fuse like slime.

It was made of darkness, and the starlight was blinking like a landscape in space.

“Oh, how sweet and sweet are human nightmares!”]

[The Lord of Nightmares whispers ecstatically.]

Pieces of the nightmare rushed towards the shooting star. At the same time, the monarch's avatar, a woman wearing a velvet dress and holding a jet-black scythe, rushed to the ground.

Kaang!

The pitch-black scythe and blade meshed together, and at the same time, pieces of nightmare hit the meteor like slime.

Sigh!

The swinging sword of the Heavenly Demon tore apart the pieces of the nightmare. Their presence was not particularly physically threatening.

It was literally a nightmare itself.

Every time the sword was swung, memories of nightmares flowed through the hilt. The hell that happened that day when the world became a game. An unforgettable nightmare. The world was burning right under my nose, unable to save my colleagues and people.

The hand holding the hilt of the sword was trembling slightly.

It was the feeling that all kinds of negative thoughts, including fear, despair, and nervousness, were clinging to Yooseong's feet like water ghosts.

My body is heavy. The nightmares of the past were holding me back endlessly, replaying the nightmare of that day endlessly.

Those days when I was unable to save, unable to protect, and despairing of my weakness.

At the same time, I could see that people around the world were watching this.

That's why I raised my head.

The sky was black.

I could see her true form, the lord of nightmares covering the sky as if she were about to devour this world.

It is so huge that its shape cannot be fully captured in the field of view.

It was literally like a cosmic being grasping this star with both hands, like a monster in cosmic horror.

Just looking at it is an intimidating feeling that makes your legs tremble. Even the meteors of the world were not free from that fear.

Therefore, people in the world who share the view of the shooting star will also be trembling in fear in front of that scene.

This world has become a game, and in the face of the existence of a true transcendent person who is trampling the game.

That being is one of the seven monarchs and great princes at the top of the throne, and at the same time, even they cannot truly be called the ‘peak'. Yoosung burst into laughter because he knew that fact.

“After thinking about it, I get angry again. Here I am, fighting to the core with those monsters and protecting this goddamn Earth...

Kaaang!

“Is everyone going down their throats right now?”

Yooseong spoke as he cut down the nightmare, faced it, and at the same time deflected the jet-black scythe that was endlessly swirling in all directions.

“Oh, I’m sure you’ll just ignore it. Well, you're going to have a hard time anyway, so I'll do it. Are you guys attacking the tower? I will attack. Everyone knows, right? So, those bastards who know this well are putting their heads together and thinking about what to do to steal the Hero King's back and take care of their own food? Hey, I don't have anything to say because I'm stupid. You damn bastards, you are a total idiot and you are one of those people who won't come to their senses even if the Earth is destroyed. Who are you talking about? That's about politics, big business, and you guys. “You who are watching this broadcast, you damn bastard.”

Instead of kneeling before the nightmares that are endlessly rushing towards him, he wields the power granted by the rules of this game.

“No, actually, I should have finished early. Even though I keep telling you that it's over, I'm being captivated by people's words, so I'm still holding on to the crotch of my worn-out pants that ended too early and crying out for help to protect world peace. Isn't this a mess of the world right now? Oh, do you want to rest too? Is there a player who will work as hard as me for world peace? “Is there no one other than me who can carry the title of King of Heroes?”

Yoosung asked back. In front of people watching him.

“Aha, everyone but me is busy taking care of their own food, so I don’t have a friend who can be the king of heroes!”

“What a fuss!”]

[The Lord of Nightmares shouts in disgust.]

“Oh my, what should I do about this? “No one can shut my mouth.”

Yooseong sneered again, and the monarch's avatar wearing a seven-colored velvet dress coldly distorted its expression.

[“I want you to remember that I could crush you and this entire planet to pieces if I wanted to.”] [

The Lord of Nightmares coldly warns.]

[“And your little, shabby planet too.” ]

“Oh my gosh, this is so scary I don’t know what to do.”

Yooseong didn't care and smiled coldly.

“Now the Lord of Nightmares is threatening to crush the Earth into pieces of trash. What should we do about this? I am the only one who can fight in front of that monarch. “Is there anyone other than me who will fight with that?”

People around the world are watching this. Politicians, players, ordinary people, everyone was no exception. Therefore, they all have no choice but to understand.

There is only one King of Heroes who can stand against that being that the King of Heroes is facing now.

After witnessing the collapse of the peace that was steeped in inertia and the real threat of the tower that ordinary people would never encounter, what Yooseong hoped for from them was not particularly hope or anything.

It was just a provocation.

It was merely a provocation by ridiculing the world and those who were mocking themselves, and informing them of the reality of the danger and fear they were facing.

Because that was enough.

“What I am saying here right now is absolutely not a lie or anything. “This is the truth you are seeing.”

And as he faced the lord of nightmares covering this planet and the world, Yooseong spoke.

“I thought I was done early and I was actually going to be done. Still, they can't finish it, and they've been having this horrible fight for several seasons that you can't see. Why are they talking nonsense about my attitude? 000 OOO Reporter Especially you, you bastards. Now that I think about it, he said something to me at the beginning of the season. Aha!”

Even now, he doesn't care about the threats that are endlessly swirling in front of him.

“To the King of Heroes, the player's mission is nothing more than a ridiculous object to be ridiculed, and the fact that world peace depends on a narcissistic sociopath full of self-aggrandizement and rudeness is extremely worrisome and a situation that must be taken seriously? Oh my, thank you so much for your words. Let's take that advice seriously and say I'm going to kick the King of Heroes. So what are you going to do? Who wants to fight that other than me?”

[The Clown Lord clutches his stomach and laughs so hard that he can't breathe!]

“So, I will tell you again the truth that you need to keep in mind.”

He adjusted the hilt of the sword being forged by a dark frost craftsman, and at the same time, five frost swords began orbiting around the shooting star.

He opened his mouth, engraving on his skin the 9999% and 99999% increase in attack power of the title ‘Monarch Assassin', as well as the inaction of the Heavenly Demon that resides in each of those swords.

“There is only one person who can protect your peace, even if you turn this planet upside down and rob it, and that person is me. “Then shouldn’t you at least pretend to hit my head in front of me?”

[The provocation level is rising like never before!]

The message came to mind, and at the same time, nightmares flooded in.

And every time he woke up to those nightmares, the nightmares of the past in which this shooting star was turning his head grabbed his heart.

“What a futile struggle in the face of a nightmare that cannot be awakened.”]

[The Lord of Nightmares sneers coldly.]

“Is that really so?”

Kaang

At the same time, the shooting star swung the hilt of his sword. The whirling jet-black scythe bounced and the two herbivorous annihilators of the Heavenly Demon's Three Swords slashed towards the monarch's avatar. The velvet dress was

torn

, flesh was torn, and blood was splattered. It was black blood, thick and stained like coal tar.

“How dare you...!”

The avatar of the cosmic being, the Lord of Nightmares holding a jet-black scythe, rushed towards the ground. There was an overwhelming violence that could not even be compared to before.

Still... I couldn't reach it.

The seven-pointed scythe that the Nightmare Lord was wielding had no meaning in front of the sword of the Heavenly Demon held by Yooseong. It was just pointless.

“Is this how Home Cheonma felt?”

Muttering as if it were someone else's business, Yooseong swung the hilt of his sword.

I can't help that being that is looking down on this world right now. But there wasn't even a need for that. It would be enough to defeat the ‘Avatar' in the velvet dress in front of Yoosung right now.

Taaat!

The King of Heroes surged from the ground, and countless forms of possibility flashed through his mind.

That's why I was even more confident.

That being, the embodiment of nightmare holding the jet-black scythe, can never reach the current King of Heroes.

At the same time, I counted the shape of the meaning that was building the shape, the fabric of the nightmare that is still being endlessly woven.

Sigh!

The island of the Heavenly Demon's Three Swords, destruction, and the last nameless sword swirled around.

In the past, even the Heavenly Demon could only remove the robe wrapped around that being from the throne spire. But I was able to intuit it.

For Yoosung now, it will never stop at that.

A secret realm that even the Lord of the Sword cannot reach, can be reached by using the Thousand Demon Advent skill with a synchronization rate of only 50%? That couldn't have been possible.

This was the power of the “Monarch Assassin,” and at the same time, it was the real reason why the Heavenly Demon could not reach that being.

An unknown confidence took shape and was engraved in Yoosung’s heart.

It is humans who can kill monsters.

It is also human who can kill the monarch.

That's why I swung the Sword of the Heavenly Demon towards the incarnation of nightmare.

A sword of meaninglessness that can cut down and return the meaning of all three swords of the Heavenly Demon to emptiness.

It was right then.

‘Something’ that even Laplace’s world could not read revealed its form in this world.

“Enough.”]

....

Stand tall.

The world stopped. The King of Heroes, the Lord of Nightmares, the rest of the players, the girl covered in ash, and everything else stopped moving.

[The Lord of the Game exercises the ‘influence of a great prince’!]

The Lord of the Game had already appeared there.

That's why Yoosung didn't hesitate either. When he once faced the Lord of Nightmares, he kicked the ground with the weight that was wrapped around him.

Towards Lord Gameim, one of the seven great princes there.

Kaang!

At the same time, a metallic sound rang out. There was something hitting the blade of dark frost held by the meteor.

what?

there was nothing. It was just swords being swung towards empty space and clashing in the air.

.........

Even if I took the sword away and swung it again, it was the same. As if an invisible wall was blocking the way.

“You can’t break the fourth wall with your current sword.”] [

The Lord of the Game answers.]

“Wow, I’ve seen that name a lot in web novels.”

In front of that message, Yoosung muttered as if it were someone else’s business. The Lord of the Game continued speaking without heeding anything.

“You were defeated according to the rules of the Nightmare Lord game.”]

“That can’t be…!”

At those words, the woman in the velvet dress raised her voice.

[“I can’t accept it!”]

[The Lord of Nightmares protests!]

At the same time, her true form, a fusion of the nightmares that engulf this world, raised its voice.

[“This is not something you accept or don’t accept. Hand over this world to the ‘winner’ and step down.”] [The Lord of the Game gives a solemn warning.]

“To whom?”

At those words, the incarnation of the Lord of Nightmare asked back coldly. But that was right then.

“Are you going to disobey the rules of the game?”

The game lord wearing a jet black robe asked. The Lord of Nightmares shook his head with a blank expression on his face.

“And you, too, should close the stage.”

“Oh, since you say that, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

At the same time, the Lord of the Game opened his mouth to the shooting star. That's why Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Thank you for watching the broadcast so far. And now I am going to take the next step into the truth of this world that you may not know, so I hope you will understand the topic before me. Home Then have a good night. And don’t forget, this——

The stage curtain came down without even having time to finish the last word.

And the story beyond the stage has finally begun to open another curtain.
