The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 384:



Chapter 384:

“That’s impossible.”

Piren trembled her lips as she desperately denied the reality.

“How can a mere individual use such an eye so freely…”

It was a replica made after the real thing, a Laplace’s eye that was close to forcibly implementing all kinds of strange and mysterious powers with magic and science.

Even when she used it, with all the assistance from the programs embedded in the artificial eye and various magical tools, she felt like her eyes were tearing apart and a drill was piercing her brain. But Yu-hyun was using it as if it was nothing.

She would have felt better if that was all.

But what Yu-hyun had was the original that her artificial eye tried to catch up with, the prototype.

In terms of performance, there was a huge gap between her artificial eye and his original eye. Naturally, the burden should be much greater than what she felt.

“What is it?”

“What?”

“What’s so surprising about me using my power freely?”

“That, that can’t be. Laplace’s eye is not just seeing the future. It scrapes up all the information from the past and present, and based on that, it infers the countless branches of the future and reads out the real future…”

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s Laplace’s power.”

“Even though you have the original… don’t you feel that painful process at all?”

“Of course not.”

Yu-hyun sneered at Piren’s words.

Why is the original the original?

It was not improved, it had no convenience, and it did not even develop in a better way.

It was powerful, but it was also rough and crude as it was not refined.

That was the fate of the original.

“What I use is literally the original. Do you know what that means? You use all kinds of shoddy and miscellaneous auxiliary methods, but I don’t have any of them.”

“Then you’re using them all with your bare mind?”

“Why not?”

“Your brain will burn out! Humans can’t handle that properly!”

“Well, at first, I wasn’t feeling normal when I used it. But you know what? For humans, things like impossible or whatever are just things you say without even trying.”

Yu-hyun tapped his Aporia mask with his finger.

“I’m using it like this. I’m using Laplace’s power that you guys couldn’t even imitate properly, as an individual.”

How would he explain that?

At those words, Piren bit her lips.

Red blood flowed from between her clenched lips.

It was really infuriating and unbelievable, but that monster-like guy really took in and analyzed all the information by himself, and obtained the eye that could see the future with his own power.

It wouldn’t be painless just because he got used to it. What made it possible was his endless patience to accept even that pain and his obsession to find the answer no matter what.

That part was a level that she couldn’t dare to follow.

“And don’t call that shoddy eye Laplace.”

Yu-hyun raised his finger and pointed at Piren’s left eye.

“It’s disgusting.”

“Shut uuuuup!”

At that word, her reason collapsed.

Piren screamed as she raised her blood pressure in her neck and pulled out a new magical tool from her bosom.

It was a thing that looked like a huge cannon. But its power surpassed that of a normal cannon by far.

It was a defective thing that once used, its barrel would melt down due to excessive heat and overload, and all the internal wires would burn out. But its power was enough to blow up a city.

In an instant, a huge pillar of light burst out from Piren’s front.

Kwaaaaang!

A huge explosion occurred and affected outside the building.

The huge energy that pierced through the wall of the central administration flew out and soared obliquely, tearing up even the clouds in the distant sky.

“Kyaahhh!”

“What, what is it! What’s going on inside?!”

People who saw the pillar of light that could be seen from far away in Old Town opened their eyes wide.

That was also true for Kang Yura who returned to her home.

‘Brother. Are you really okay?’

The direction where that bombardment came from was definitely where the central administration was.

And there was news spreading in real time that terrorists attacked the central administration.

Kang Yura wished that Yu-hyun, Baek Seo-ryeon, and Kang Hye-rim were safe in that chaos.

Yu-hyun, who was caught in a huge explosion, was fine without any injuries.

Except for being pushed back by the impact of the bombardment and bouncing out to outside of central administration. And also for Piren chasing him persistently with something like wings made of machines.

‘Salio’s magical engineering tools have everything.’

What are those steel wings?

Piren threw countless magic tools from her cloak to deal with Yu-hyun, who was floating in the air. In the slowly flowing time, Yu-hyun’s eyes could instantly recognize what they were.

Bombs.

And they were making ticking sounds in real time.

Judging by the power of the previous bombardment, those bombs were not ordinary dangers.

Yu-hyun’s gaze moved to the ground below the distant sky.

‘If they explode here, there will be serious casualties.’

The blast could reach that far, and the surrounding buildings could collapse and sweep away the nearby area.

‘She deliberately dragged me here, knowing that.’

She doesn’t care about the means or methods to win. She uses the terrain or even digs into the opponent’s weaknesses with vicious tactics.

Good attitude.

If it’s not a fair fight, but a life-or-death struggle, she should act like this.

However, it was inevitable that he would feel dirty if he was on the receiving end.

If she was going to fight with her own tricks, he had no choice but to respond in kind.

Clang!

Black letters rose behind Yu-hyun’s back and spread like wings.

Piren’s eyes widened at the sight.

Those black wings, similar to those of a crow, were something that she remembered belonged to a different being than the Book pile lord

The wings of the fallen Icarus.

Having heard part of Kang Hye Rim’s story, Yu-hyun spread them wide and shot like an arrow toward the bombs that Piren had thrown.

“Just with those pathetic wings…!”

Before Piren could finish her sentence, countless black lines were drawn in the air.

Laplace’s eye heated up as it couldn’t control the information that was rushing in.

Movement. Those black lines were all traces of Yu-hyun passing by. And the bombs that were cut in half fell weakly without fulfilling their roles.

“Do you remember what I said earlier?”

A voice came from behind him.

Faster than turning around, a huge impact hit Piren’s back.

His body was pushed forward.

Still, the voice didn’t leave her ears and rang in her head.

“You should have run away instead.”

She felt a pressure that seemed to crush her whole body from the tremendous movement.

Piren opened her power to tear apart the air pressure and tried to take out more magic tools from her cloak.

“What keeps coming out? A four-dimensional pocket?”

Yu-hyun didn’t leave it alone.

Piren’s cloak was torn and the magic tools stored in the subspace were all shattered and scattered.

Piren swung her sword in her hand to counterattack, but she felt a pain in her head first.

Her body fell down and hit the ground.

‘Where is this…?’

Piren realized then that she had been pushed out of Old Town.

The distance from the Central Administration to outside Old Town was incredibly far, but in that short time?

Piren realized that her sense of time had been broken. No, not just that. Her sense of space, cognition, everything had deteriorated.

“You’re like this because you rely on tools and things, not your own skills.”

Yu-hyun’s words pierced through her state so clearly that Piren could barely face reality.

Crunch.

She clenched her teeth and got up from her seat and glared at Yu-hyun.

He seemed to have fought fiercely, but Yu-hyun was too fine.

That mask didn’t have a scratch on it, and his black suit that was behind the times didn’t have a flaw either.

What made this situation more ridiculous was that most of the attacks were from Piren’s side.

“How on earth do you have such power…?”

Piren didn’t want to admit it.

She thought that the rumor that he had beaten Executor Choi Do-yoon was a lie or distorted.

That was Choi Do-yoon.

The wall that she thought she couldn’t overcome even if she spent her whole life. She couldn’t easily accept that he had lost to a man who suddenly appeared and received the title of Lord.

“How much effort did I put in to get this much power…?”

“Effort is good. But did you really work as hard as me?”

Piren might have thought that she did her best, but to Yu-hyun’s eyes, she was just trying to fill her lack with all kinds of magic tools because she hated effort.

That was an insult to real effort.

Even though his heart was pierced, he died, he cut off his precious person with his own hands,

He never broke down and endured while trying to move forward.

Yu-hyun and Piren, who tried to fill everything with something else, were different levels altogether.

“You have lost.”

“I, lost?”

Piren never thought that she, who was an executioner, would crumble in such a place.

She had received support from two great armies. But she failed to defeat even one of them and ended up here.

It was a ridiculous story. She thought he had reached the sky, but there was a being who defied common sense after all.

“Any last words?”

Yu-hyun approached Piren and pointed a knife at her neck. Piren had lost the will to resist. She didn’t have the strength to do so anyway.

“…If I die, the empire will start to move. They will seek bloody revenge for killing an executioner.”

“What a bunch of fools. You were the ones who attacked us first.”

“I don’t care. The pretext they make up will be the same anyway.”

“You know very well that it’s a lie.”

Yu-hyun sneered, but Piren didn’t flare up or retort. She seemed to sense her doom and relaxed his shoulders.

“That sword.”

But he had one last thing to say, and his gaze turned to Baekryeon.

“Where did you get that?”

“I found it in the celestial market a long time ago.”

“…That can’t be. That’s a new thing. It’s a secret project of magic tools that only a few know about. How can you have it when the prototype hasn’t even come out properly?”

“You’re the one who’s talking nonsense. Why are you following the remnants of the destroyed Salio Empire and acting like you’re the first ones?”

“Stop joking! The Salio Empire never fell! We’ve always existed in the mixed world!”

“What?”

What was he talking about?

When Yu-hyun got Baekryeon, the system explained that it was a sword of the ruined Salio Empire.

That meant that the Salio Empire was an ancient and forgotten empire.

It was surprising that the ones who inherited their name were in the mixed world, but they were mumbling that they were the original ones.

If they were telling the truth, not delusional, then it didn’t make sense.

The empire that was active now had already perished long ago.

Wouldn’t that mess up the timeline?

‘Maybe they’re really confused.’

The Salio Empire was a place he had seen in Earth’s history.

If they had been indoctrinated since childhood that they were the best, it wouldn’t be surprising that Piren didn’t know.

Whatever happened, there was no point in talking any more. He decided to end it here and approached Piren.

A flash of light flashed in the sky.

“…!”

Yu-hyun reacted first.

He quickly unleashed all his power and activated his mode.

He immediately created a black shield in the sky.

He didn’t stop there and turned Baekryeon into a shield shape and aimed it at the air.

He also made a knight’s armor on his body and protected himself.

As soon as that process was over.

A beam of light fell.

─────!!!

The light didn’t explode or collide with anything.

It just fell, and anything that touched it turned to dust and disappeared.

Piren, who had protected himself with all kinds of magic tools, was no exception. Because most of his magic tools were not working due to the fight with Yu-hyun, Piren turned to dust as soon as he was engulfed by the light. It was too pathetic for an executioner who was rare in the alliance.

Yu-hyun didn’t care about him.

A huge beam of light pressed down on his body in real time.

‘This is…!’

His arms and legs trembled, and he felt like his muscles were tearing apart.

The pressure crushed his whole body.

It was not an ordinary blow.

If someone could use this kind of power… It must be a Divine Spirit, at least a second generation.

Kwaaaa!

The light pillar that kept shooting thinned out and disappeared without a trace.

Only Yu-hyun stood tall in the center of the evaporated ground.

“This is amazing.”

A voice came from the sky. Someone was slowly descending with the sun behind him.

He was a giant man with a thick beard.

He wore leather armor full of animal fur, and muscles bulged over it.

His outfit looked like a Viking from Northern Europe.

And what he held in his hand was.

A hammer with lightning that seemed to boast that it had just unleashed an attack.

Yu-hyun’s eyes widened when he saw it.

“…Mjolnir?”

“You know my father’s thing.”

The Divine Spirit smiled as if he was pleased with Yu-hyun’s words. Yu-hyun was speechless at his pure reaction.

“Father? Does that mean…?”

A subtle clue hidden in his words.

He could easily tell who he was.

“Magni.”

“Oh, you know my name too?”

“How could I not?”

The name Magni, who belonged to the Asgard army, was rare in this mixed world.

Of course, that was because his father was Thor, the strongest force of Asgard.

And the man in front of him was.

The half-giant son of Thor, the first generation Divine Spirit, Magni.
