Chapter 510
That was an old promise .
⸢"I'll finish your story for you . "⸥
I couldn't keep that promise during the 1863rd turn .
[Your ■■ has begun shaking unsteadily!]
I pushed myself up while gripping the [Unbreakable Faith] tightly . The hilt of the sword that accompanied me from beginning till now through almost all the scenarios, could be felt in my hand .
The tip of the sword touched the ground and sentences began rising up . Sentences that I had never seen before .
⸢He was more curious about the end of this world than anyone, and . . . ⸥
⸢And more than anyone else, he wished for this world not to end . ⸥
My last Fable had begun .
" . . . . Kim Dok-Ja?"
I removed Han Su-Yeong's hands covering my ears .
Her eyes were trembling . My reddened appearance was reflected in her irises . A lengthy wound was running across my cheek; wings were torn, and the Demon King's horn was broken . I was truly in a mess .
And Han Su-Yeong believed in such a mess of a man until now and came this far .
[Have you made up your mind?]
The Dokkaebi King in the centre of all the exploding sparks asked me .
The beings from the 999th turn, the 'Outer God Kings', were doing whatever they could to fight back . The battle so far had been evenly matched, but judging from the direction of the storm of the Probability's aftermath blowing in, it should be the 999th side falling into a disadvantage in the end .
"That's right . " I replied to the Dokkaebi King . "I shall cross the 'Final Wall . ' And then, meet the one behind it . "
The culprit of all these tragedies, the 'Most Ancient Dream' .
"I'll meet that guy, and stop all of this world's tragedies . "
The 'Dokkaebi King' grinned as if he was satisfied with my decision .
[Indeed . Very good . That's eminently possible when you become my successor . Now, come this way . Hurry, and inherit the <star stream="">'s will . . . . ]
"I never said I'll take you up on your offer . "
I activated [Way of the Wind] and the [Lightning Transformation] at the same time .
This world's fastest movement technique was soon enveloped by the pure-white electrical energy, transforming my body into a single streak of light beam . With the fastest speed I could ever produce, I shot past both the Dokkaebi King and the Outer Gods .
The destination I chose was the deepest part of the [Final Wall] .
[You . . . . !!]
I heard the stunned voice of the Dokkaebi King . I also saw the sentences dashing across above the [Final Wall] in the distance .
⸢The place where the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon's last scale, and Uriel's last feather, had fallen . ⸥
I roared out in panic and dashed towards that very sentence .
⸢The place where Persephone's last teardrop had fallen . ⸥
I needed to stop those sentences from finishing . Even if I saw the end of this world, I must never let those words come to an end .
Perhaps he had realised my intentions, the Dokkaebi King was shouting out in sheer astonishment .
[No, stop! You are not a permitted being yet! You can't even touch that Wall, let alone cross it!]
Tsu-chuchuchut!
The moment he was finished, the storm of the Probability's aftermath suppressed my entire body . The sparks exploded with enough force to utterly crush my Incarnation Body right down its atoms, and for a moment there, the inside of my head blanked out from the pain .
[The 'Final Wall' is rejecting your approach!]
The Wall was rejecting me .
It was stopping me from touching its sentences, to change them, and even from crossing over it . As if I couldn't even be permitted to reach it at all .
In an instant, the words on the Wall widened the space, and retreated to a far-off distance .
⸢Those sentences weren't Kim Dok-Ja's . ⸥
Powerful gusts of wind knocked me off my feet . I was like some words cast out to the distant empty blankness, miserably rolling on the ground towards my rear . Then, my back collided with something while issuing a loud 'thud!'
"You idiot! You think you can achieve something by rushing out all alone??"
It was Han Su-Yeong . I replied to her with a grin .
"I wasn't rushing forward alone . "
The <kim dok-ja="" company="">'s members were running towards us from behind .
I didn't want to lose anyone . I simply couldn't afford to lose anyone .
"Dok-Ja-ssi! Keep running!"
Jeong Hui-Won, her [Hour of Judgement] activated, rushed towards us while scattering the reddish glow from her eyes .
Yi Hyeon-Seong and Yi Ji-Hye were positioned either side of her, while Yu Sang-Ah and the kids were right behind them . Meanwhile, Jang Ha-Yeong and our masters were taking up the rear of the group .
"Take this with you! It's the last Life and Death Pill!"
Yi Seol-Hwa couldn't come with us because of Gong Pil-Du, so she threw the pillbox at us, instead . I took a [Life and Death Pill] out right away and swallowed it . My wrecked Incarnation Body began recovering rapidly .
[Stop!!]
Along with the Dokkaebi King's cry, bizarre-looking creatures revealed themselves from among the contexts of the paragraphs recorded on the Wall . They were 'Outer Gods', too – beings that hadn't earned Fables worthy enough to be recorded on the Wall .
[[■■■!!▪▪▪ ▪▪▪ ▪▪▪!!]]
Not all Outer Gods followed their kings . There definitely existed some that chose to become the Dokkaebi King's underlings despite possessing great powers themselves, and voluntarily worked as the slaves of the scenarios .
Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!!
[Stop them! If you do, I shall record your Fables on the 'Final Wall'!]
Our martial art masters discovered tentacles rushing in from all directions and unsheathed their weapons .
"Leave this place to us . "
The Breaking the Sky Saint's [Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship] and Kyrgios's [Purest Sword Force] combined into a single ray of light, and engraved their sentences over the Wall .
[Great Fable, 'The 1st Murim', has begun its storytelling!]
Two greatest experts of Murim stopped the tentacles and a desperate struggle soon ensued . Unfortunately, the time they could buy was only for a fleeting moment .
There were simply far too many 'Outer Gods' flooding out from the 'context' the Dokkaebi King had opened up .
[All Fables of <kim dok-ja="" company=""> are emitting bright light!]
We couldn't afford to waste the time our masters bought for us . The Wall's surface recording Uriel's and the Great Sage's Fables had already grown that far away .
There could only be one answer . We needed to approach it fast than its retreating speed . But, how could we . . . .
It was right around then a certain paragraph floated up on the [Final Wall] .
⸢To think that a 'Green Zone' is located on a wall . . . To begin with, people were responsible for attaching the concept of 'rooms' on it, weren't they . ⸥
I abruptly looked down at the floor we were standing on .
The floor itself was another type of 'Wall', laying in a different direction . And our footprints were left engraved on the Wall we ran on . The Fables we had compiled were floating up on the footprints we left behind .
