Chapter 401: 401
[Members from the same camp have clashed!]
[Current Chaos Points: 85]
We were left completely dazed at the same time after looking at those system messages .
" . . . . Just who is it?"
Han Su-Yeong threw out that question after somehow squeezing it out of her lips . No one could answer her, however .
She asked again . "It can't be the kids going around causing accidents, right?"
I retorted back . "You think they are like you?"
Even if they were still just kids, they wouldn't do something so rash with our situation being what it was .
Sure, I was slightly worried about Gil-Yeong, but… .
I looked at Anna Croft and addressed her . "Anna . "
"I'm still searching . "
Although the page of the future had been ripped away, the events leading up to its disappearance should still remain . Just like how a defective book would still need some time before it got destroyed .

"We can't leisurely wait any longer . "
The first one to fly out of the room was Yu Jung-Hyeok .
Anna Croft's forehead was soaked in sweatdrops as she endeavoured to find the pages of the future . In the end, both Han Su-Yeong and I decided to move, as well .
"Anna, once you find something, let me know through voice projection . "
We left her behind and flew out of the cabin . Our companions had gathered on the deck after sensing that something was wrong .
"Dok-Ja-ssi, what's going on?"
I conveyed the situation in the simplest terms possible when Jeong Hui-Won asked me . "Some people are attacking their own camp . "
"Ehng? Why do something like that?" said Yi Ji-Hye, while frowning to show that she couldn't understand it . "I thought everyone would die if those Chaos Points went up any higher? Isn't that why Angels and Demon Kings went inside that thing . . . . ?"
"Can they be people with similar goals as our own?"
"If that was the case, then they wouldn't have increased the Chaos Points at this point in time . "
I didn't need to explain in detail, but my companions seemed to have arrived on their own answers .
"In that case, could it be . . . ?"
I nodded my head . "No matter what happens, we must stop them . If we don't, something really horrifying will occur . "
"What kinda crazy bastards would… . But, why??"
Why would anyone try to speed up the destruction of the world?
I found it hard to provide a proper answer to that . However, there was this one thing in the that worked as the universal answer to every single indecipherable situation imaginable .
" . . . . . There are truly a vast array of 'Fables' in this world, you know . "
It wasn't only 'Good and Evil' that existed in this world . Just like that was neither good nor evil existed, there were people in this world chasing after those Fables we simply couldn't relate to .
Some would live to prevent the end times, but some would only live for the apocalypse .
Tsu-chuchuchuchu . . . . !
Probability was shifting unstably in the air; sparks erupted in several places on the battlefield .
Yu Jung-Hyeok standing on top of the figurehead seemed to have latched onto the location of the biggest arcs of sparks .
"There are five in total . Scatter, now . "
He finished giving orders, and his figure disappeared towards the north .
I quickly gave instructions to my companions . "Han Su-Yeong, you take the east . Yu-Seung-ee, Ji-Hye, and Gil-Yeong-ee, you guys take the south, please . Hui-Won-ssi, please remain on the battleship, since we don't know what might happen . "
"What about you, Dok-Ja-ssi?"
"I'll head west . "
Sparks were exploding in all directions . One by the north, one by the east, one by the west, and two by the south .
"We don't know yet which camp started raising chaos . If it's done by the members of the same camp as you, don't fight them and call for other companions . "
The situation had flipped on its head now .
If we had increased the Chaos Points by fighting 'Good' with 'Good' and 'Evil' with 'Evil', then we needed to fight 'Good' with 'Evil' and vice versa . Only by sticking to the original rule of the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' could we prevent the increase in the Chaos Points .
"Damn it, I'm really annoyed that our situation has changed so suddenly like this . I get why the Constellations were so pissed off earlier . "
"We're going ahead!"
Yi Ji-Hye and the kids departed first, and right afterwards, Han Su-Yeong and I also made our move .
Her figure, as she dashed forward while scattering black flames about, was filled with wounds, both large and small .
I spoke to her . "Be careful . "
She scowled ever so slightly and flew towards the east .
This punk, I was only worried about her, but even then… .
- You be careful, instead . Idiot .
The [Midday Tryst] arriving a beat later made me feel a bit strange . Was I overthinking it when I found both Yu Jung-Hyeok and Han Su-Yeong had changed a lot?
[Chaos Points are increasing!]
[Current Chaos Points: 86]
I activated [Way of the Wind] and dashed across the air .
As I was in the middle of [Demon King Transformation], the skill's accelerative force had become truly astonishing . I crossed the sky in an instant and arrived at the origin of the sparks . I began to closely scan the vicinity .
… . In hiding, was it?
Corpses of Reincarnators were strewn about on the battlefield . And there were a handful of terrified survivors that had fallen on their butts, looking at all the dead bodies .
Without a doubt, someone went on to massacre the people from the same side here .

[Your insight that analyses the situation by collecting circumstantial evidence of the incident has increased!]
I quickly read the fragments of Fables scattered about . I was right about a massacre taking place here . However, I couldn't spot any traces of the culprit running away .
"S-save us, Demon King-nim!"
Six remaining Reincarnators knelt down and began prostrating before me . I carefully observed them; most of the six were wounded gravely, blood and Fables continuously pouring out from their bodies .
Except for this one guy, whose Fable happened to be exceptionally stable .
"You . "
The eyes of the man slowly raising his head up were filled with a certain evil leer . I spoke while meeting those eyes straight-on . "You, are you a 'Seeker of the End'?"
At that moment, the man desperately lunged at me . But I was already ready for him and easily evaded his attack, before grabbing his neck .
"Keok, keo-heok . . . . !"
[Exclusive skill, 'Character List', is activating!]
As I thought, he was the culprit I was searching for – a Demon King's subordinate . There was no real need to peer deeply into his Attribute Window anymore .
"You've begun your actions already? But, it shouldn't be the right time yet?"
The man with his neck grabbed by me formed a disgusting grin .
"T-the great apocalypse will soon come . All scenarios are already set in stone . The noble and absolute Fable will come to reality!"
I recoiled just a little bit after looking at his eyes glaring like a religious fanatic .
Right, most of the 'Seekers of the End' were like this guy back in the original story, weren't they .
They believed that there was only one 'Absolute Fable' that supported this world, and that every scenario was merely the will of that Fable coming to fruition .
⸢Ke kekeke . ⸥
I heard [the 4th Wall]'s mocking cackle resound in my head .
Without a doubt, these 'Seekers of the End' had no idea that the Fable they thought they knew was actually a novel that I had read already .
