"Yes, do that."
"…!!"
As if they hadn't expected me to say that, both Shin Yoosungs were colored with bewilderment and astonishment.
And that was.
"Hey, what does that mean! Are you crazy?!"
"Are you kidding me right now!? That bastard tried to kill us just moments ago!"
Not just them.
"Kang Yuhyeon, since when were you such a saint?"
"Watch your mouth, Han Sooyoung. Before I kill you. Also, I have no intention of just forgiving Shin Yoosung either. Since she tried to kill me, I'm going to use this guy as much as possible."
"U, ugh…. S, still! We have to clear the scenario! If you leave this guy alive, how are we going to clear the scenario?!"
"Haa…."
At Han Sooyoung's words, I opened the scenario window and continued speaking.
"Look at the time limit. What does it say."
"…Nothing is written."
"Right. It means the time is not specified. So it doesn't matter if killing this guy is postponed until later. Right. Since this guy is also someone from another world, she must be strong and have a lot of knowledge about the future. So it won't matter if we kill her after using her as much as we can."
"…."
Hearing my words as if they were undeniable logic, Han Sooyoung and Kim Namwoon said nothing, clicked their tongues briefly, and returned to their companions.
…I don't know about Kim Namwoon, but is Han Sooyoung a companion…? Well, anyway.
"You heard, Dokkaebi. Keep that in mind."
[My my, so you're coming out like that?]
-Pajik!
A Dokkaebi appeared in the air, pushing up his glasses along with dull golden lightning.
But for some reason, even though the flow wasn't going in the direction he desired, the guy's reaction was somewhat excited.
[Indeed, if you come out like that, it can't be helped. But will others think the same?]
"Doesn't matter. If they raise objections and show hostility towards me, I just have to kill them."
[Ku. Kuhuk. Kuhuhu…. As expected of you, whom countless Constellations pay attention to. Yes. Good! You should come out like that.]
"…."
With a smile on his lips and red eyes shining brutally, the Dokkaebi looks at me.
At that moment, an unknown anxiety sweeps through my body quickly.
What on earth, is this…?
[Incarnation Kang Yuhyeon. You are an existence strong enough to be counted on one hand in this Seoul Dome. Even if we expand the Dome globally, it would probably be the same. Therefore, you are arrogant. You think you are everything in the world, and the standard of the world.]
"What does that—"
-Pajijik!!
Before I could finish my sentence, countless dark purple lightning bolts poured down towards Shin Yoosung.
To be precise.
"Ah, aaaaaaaaah—!!!"
"…Damn it, Shin Yoosung—!!"
Towards Shin Yoosung of another world line.
"What on earth is this…, hey! Why did you use the 'Scenario Force Execution Right'!? Answer me!"
[Ho-oh…, Incarnation Kim Dokja. You are an existence who knows a lot compared to other Incarnations but…, I didn't know you knew even this. Then, even if I don't answer, you should know well why this was activated?]
"…Don't tell me. The Constellations want this development?"
Kim Dokja panicking for a moment with a look of futility, Yoo Joonghyuk whose eyes changed as if he decided something, and Shin Yoosung's face trying hard to endure amidst the endless purple lightning but eventually collapsing came into view.
Listening to the conversation between Kim Dokja and the Dokkaebi, this damn situation right now is the 'Constellations' fault.
-Pajik, pajijik….
It was humiliating. Too humiliating.
Even though I said I would keep this guy alive just moments ago, the situation changed like flipping a hand.
[The Fable, 'King of Curses', smiles satisfied.]
Why is it.
Even though anger is surging from head to toe. strangely, my judgment didn't blur.
Rather, my body boiled like before, my vision cleared up, and Cursed Energy began to overflow.
"…Yoo Joonghyuk. Kim Dokja."
And I called their names.
The names of those who curse the Constellations as much as I do right here.
"I will kill the Disaster."
"It's a suicidal act. Are you planning to act recklessly?"
"You should know well too that it isn't."
-Kwa-ga-ga-gak—!!!
Along with Shin Yoosung's roar full of despair, a dark purple Ether Storm covered me and them.
However, it couldn't reach us.
"Number 3. I choose 'Beast King's Sensitivity'."
Because Kim Dokja, who came to his senses before I knew it, spread a large white cloak like Shin Yoosung and protected me and his companions.
"Changing the story is difficult."
"I know."
"If we make a mistake, everything could go wrong."
"I know that too."
As I took a step forward, Shin Yoosung, who had completely lost control, revealed white teeth and growled.
But the emotions inside, she hadn't lost them yet.
"I say it again. We will kill the Disaster."
"…."
"And the ones killing are not just me, Kim Dokja, and Yoo Joonghyuk. Not just these three."
I slowly reach out forward.
And pointed.
"You too. Shin Yoosung."
"Kuaaaaaa—!!!"
-Kwa-a-a-ang!
As soon as the words ended, Shin Yoosung rushed out scattering dark purple Ether.
But the one blocking such Shin Yoosung was Kim Dokja this time too, just like before.
"I will dismantle 'Delusion Demon Kim Namwoon' in slot 1, and insert 'Judge of Destruction Jung Heewon'."
Kim Dokja, thrusting the Unbroken Faith wrapped in red Ether at high speed, didn't give even a moment of opening.
Cutting the Disaster's shoulder, abdomen, thigh, and everywhere on her body, he continued to advance.
However, even though she lost her reason, her combat sense didn't fade.
-Whooosh!!
True to the epithet Disaster of Floods, it began to summon numerous monsters again.
A swarm of monsters covering from the air like a wave rushing in.
But that couldn't become a wall to stop me.
"Preparations are done, right, Yoo Joonghyuk."
"You too."
Me and the guy finished a short conversation and jumped high into the sky as is.
Yoo Joonghyuk's swordsmanship rushing at enemies as if to break the sky.
My technique crushing numerous enemies.
And Kim Dokja's sense aiming for openings while watching for opportunities in between.
Although annoying, me, Yoo Joonghyuk, and Kim Dokja had better synergy than expected.
-Kwa-ga-gak—!!
Shin Yoosung, who lost control of her body, blocked our approach even by giving up protecting her own body.
But despite that, we advanced one step, and another step towards the Disaster.
And finally.
""Go, Kang Yuhyeon!""
"…!!"
I reached in front of Shin Yoosung.
「…Kill me.」
Since she lost control of her body, she couldn't open her mouth even once.
So, this voice heard now must be just my hallucination.
But. Even if those words are ones she wouldn't actually say.
「While I can endure…, kill me quickly.」
"Shut up. I decide that."
I answered her.
「…Why?」
"What do you mean."
「Why…, why are you so desperate. Is it perhaps to draw reactions from the Constellations? If you are with Yoo Joonghyuk. And the person named Kim Dokja, you would have already….」
"I surely told you."
-Seo-geok, seo-geok. Seo-geo-geo-geok—!!!
"Killing the Disaster, includes you too."
Surely dozens of 'Dismantle' poured down instantly and cut her skin, but she didn't show any sign.
No scream, no anger, no sadness, no resentment, nothing.
"So try hard. Endure. Hold on."
「…!!」
"Even if you can't move a single finger, can't open your mouth once, can't do anything as you wish."
I knew well that Dismantle, Cleave, and Ten Shadows Technique wouldn't work on a Disaster.
In other words, 'I' right now cannot defeat this Disaster.
However.
"Resist until the end."
What if it's 'me' who 'surpassed the current me'?
"…That is!"
"Widen the distance, Kim Dokja!"
Recall. When I showed the strongest appearance after realizing Jujutsu.
When my technique usage was most outstanding, and when my Cursed Energy was strongest.
[The Fable, 'King of Curses', begins its story.]
"Domain Expansion."
The time was the day I almost experienced death by Han Sooyoung once.
The day I realized the Essence of Cursed Energy and drew up Cursed Energy and used techniques like breathing without realizing it myself.
"Malevolent Shrine (伏魔御廚子)."
Performing Hand Signs and reciting Incantations, the whole world became quiet.
Perhaps because of that. Paradoxically, when I felt that I was the most noble and outstanding because no one else existed in this world except me.
Drip—, a drop of water fell on the water surface that was calm without any ripples.
-Whooosh…!!
The calm water surface caused several ripples by a single water drop, and suddenly a huge temple and a hell with no end in sight appeared.
And in that hell, only me and the Disaster, just two.
"…."
Judging only by the conclusion, I succeeded.
The Domain I used back then.
However, looking at the overall part, I failed.
There are many clumsy parts, and the technique usage is somewhat crude.
But, it's okay. I wasn't aiming for that anyway.
"Malevolent Shrine. A technique where 'Cleave' pours down infinitely on entities with Cursed Energy and 'Dismantle' on entities without Cursed Energy while the Domain is maintained. But you must be wondering. Why the slashes aren't rushing in."
Right. As said, there were no slashes covering the Disaster.
The reason was obvious.
Binding Vow.
A contract between souls and a phenomenon where one can strengthen the effect of the technique by drawing up Cursed Energy by intentionally adding disadvantageous conditions to oneself. Because I used that.
"I chose the remaining merits instead of mitigating Cursed Energy consumption and erasing the sure-hit effect. The restriction and interpretation of the technique, and the performance increase of the technique."
"Grrrr…!!"
"And this must have also been applied as a Binding Vow and became stronger."
"Kuaaaaa!!"
When I said that with a faint sneer, the Disaster roared loudly and rushed as is, thrusting her hand.
One blow, one blow is a fatal instant-death attack.
As explained just now, this Domain is crude and incomplete, so the Domain might collapse soon.
But, I must endure. I must buy time somehow.
-Kwa-ga-ga-gak—!!!
"Kuhup…!!"
"Grrrr…!!"
Think. Expand. Image freely. And interpret.
The new direction of my technique, the aberrant form of the technique I draw.
"…Scale of the Dragon. Recoil. Twin Meteors."
