Episode 530: Family of Dreams (1)
Ludger, who returned to the original world, approached Hans, who was dazing nearby, and shook him awake.
“Get up. Sleepyhead.”
“Ugh! 100 million! Huh! What?! “No way again?!”
Hans looked around, saw Ludger, and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m going to turn. “I had a pleasant dream, and when I came to my senses, I saw my brother’s face.”
“Is it a compliment or an insult?”
“It would be nice to think of it as a reminder of this cruel reality. “The face is so unrealistic that it really gets me out of my mind.”
It’s a compliment, but why does it feel oddly unpleasant?
Ludgar shook his head and woke up nearby Sedina and Seridan.
The two were quite happy about what they had been dreaming about, but when they saw Ludger’s face, they immediately realized the reality.
Sheridan let out a sigh.
“The opportunity to create the world’s best explosive was just around the corner.”
“What on earth were you trying to make…”
Hans shook his head.
“older brother. Are you okay now? “Looking here, it looks like there’s no other danger as long as you don’t fall into that hallucination.”
“Those hallucinations are the most dangerous.”
“You’re fine.”
“I’m sure you haven’t forgotten who it is thanks to.”
“That’s it…Of course you trust your brother, right?”
In fact, if it weren’t for Ludger, no one here would have been able to escape the fantasy.
No, can we just dismiss that as a simple fantasy?
Once I entered Dreamland, the scenery shown by the dream world was, in a sense, like a new reality.
That’s why no one feels any sense of heterogeneity and is captivated by it.
Because it was not an elaborately made fake flower, but a seed that could actually become real.
“Anyway, as long as you are here, this pure white world will no longer be a threat to us.”
As Hans said that, he started to tremble without realizing it.
This is because a building rises tall in a pure white world.
It was a building that looked familiar to Hans.
This is because the entrance to the shabby and scattered wooden building had “Orphanage” written in large letters.
“Brother tongue.”
Hans found Ludger without realizing it.
It was an instinctive struggle to help Ludger quickly wake up from the hallucination I was seeing.
“older brother?”
“This is…”
Hans looked in the direction where Ludger was.
Contrary to my worries, I saw Ludger’s appearance.
So, have you woken up from your fantasy again?
Hans, who looked straight ahead, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
The shabby orphanage building still existed.
Eventually, the door opened with a squeak.
why?
Why can’t that fantasy be erased when my brother is like this?
Rather than that, didn’t you just see that too?
“Hans. “If what I see right now is correct, that must be an orphanage.”
“…This is crazy. Are you seeing it in your eyes too? And other people too?”
Ceridan and Sedina also nodded at those words.
Hans was not the only one seeing the scenery he was seeing now.
The sight that everyone here is seeing.
The moment Hans was shocked, other things began to appear in the pure white world.
Hehehehe.
The ground began to shake violently, and trees grew through the blue water.
A huge forest created in an instant.
The forest began to grow in size with tremendous speed.
Trees growing from the ground like waves.
Sedina shouted after seeing the scene.
“Everyone needs to step down!”
The group ran to avoid the tidal wave of trees rushing in without worrying about who would go first.
Sheridan shouted, shaking his pure white pigtails.
“What on earth is that! Why is fantasy suddenly becoming reality?”
“Strictly speaking, this is a dream too!”
“That’s what it says! What is this! Wasn’t it just a matter of waking up from a hallucination?! lily?!”
“It’s my first time here too.”
Ludger glanced behind him as he ran.
Trees growing with fearsome momentum.
A wave of living vines and branches was approaching as if it would engulf this area.
Those probably came from Sedina’s hallucinations.
Coogugung.
Buildings rose in front of the running group.
The Gothic-style buildings exuded gloom.
The fog surrounding the building softly shed bluish moonlight.
Stone pillars and iron bars were created, creating walls and sidewalk blocks, and the sound of growling animals echoed between the buildings.
As if to prove that it was not just a sound, red eyes glowed eerily in the darkness within the gap.
“What is this!”
“Gevaudang!”
Hans answered Sheridan, who cried out in surprise.
“Gevadang? Wait a minute, Hans, wasn’t that where you and Nari first met?”
“That’s right. “It seems like it reacted to my hallucinations this time.”
“Oh, it’s going to spin!”
Crumble! Wow! Wow!
The beasts that were just looking for an opportunity moved.
While in ambush, black-furred wolves emerged from the shadows and attacked the group.
“Everyone, run without stopping!”
Ludger activated magic through a maneuver technique.
A blue curtain surrounded the group, sending all the black beasts out.
Behind are waves of trees.
Black beasts on both sides.
“What more can’t come out of this?”
Hans responded to Sheridan’s question.
“If you say that right there…!”
The two phenomena currently occurring were created by Hans and Sedina.
At this point, the phenomenon achieved through Sheridan’s memories has not yet appeared.
“ah.”
Seridan must have realized it too late, and his mouth widened.
Piyung!
At the same time, a red flash was seen shooting up into the sky from afar.
It looked like a signal flare used by the military, and it crossed the air, drawing a long tail of smoke.
Not just one, but dozens.
“Wait a minute, that can’t be right….”
“Oh, it’s ruined. “It was a mortar made outside.”
Hans and Sedina stared at Sheridan with wide eyes.
Sheridan stuck out his tongue and narrowed one eye.
“I forgot too!”
“Now is not the time to say such things!”
“Now is not the time to say that!”
Hans and Sedina shouted in unison.
Meanwhile, a parabolic red flash flew towards us in the air.
The red star twinkling in the pure white sky shone like a star and gradually grew bigger.
“come! A mortar so powerful that each shot can blow away a 15m radius like powder!”
“You don’t have to go into such detail!”
“Everyone, if you have time to talk like that, run harder.”
Ludger, who was in the lead, stretched out his hand toward the incoming mortar.
The hallucination created by Sheridan could not be prevented simply by using [Silence of Fire].
Even now, there are black beasts on both sides and flood waves rushing in from behind.
Ludger finely tuned his magical power to create a blue thread.
As when checking the books in the library in the mysterious mansion, the threads of magic that were pulled out, stretched out like the thorns of a sea urchin, and came into contact with the falling red shells.
“Start tuning.”
The magical power flowing through the thread moved in detail and permeated the surface of the red cannonball.
Ludger activated a new magic through the magic power of the thread.
Telekinesis magic.
The direction of the shells flying towards Ludger and his party was distorted.
The cannonballs scattered in all directions, as if their trajectories were bent by hitting an invisible membrane, and fell, aiming precisely at the black beast and the tree chasing it from behind.
Quagwagwagwang!
Red petals were in full bloom all around.
Burning scarlet flames tore apart Gothic buildings and black beasts, and hotly swept away the waves of water chasing behind them.
The shock wave of the explosion went off, but there was no direct impact thanks to the shield created by Ludger.
Sheridan laughed at the sight.
“It’s my bomb after all!”
“What are you shamelessly liking! Anyone can see that you did everything!”
“I made that, so I have a share! “If it had been less powerful, do you think the situation would have been resolved like it is now?!”
Seeing Sheridan’s angry attitude, Hans unconsciously kept his mouth shut.
Is that so?
Sedina mumbled something pitiful at the back of Hans’ head, who had been persuaded without even realizing it.
“What are you trying to convince me of?”
“omg! “Stop without even realizing it!”
“Are you guys making a joke in this situation?”
Ludger looked between Hans and Sheridan and shook his head.
Hans, who was tied up with Seridan as a wholesaler for no reason, wanted to complain about the unfairness, but he thought it would only get worse if he made excuses here, so he decided to keep his mouth shut.
In fact, it was safe to say that another reason was more decisive.
‘I don’t think other people saw it.’
When Ludgar swept the area with explosives created by Sheridan’s illusion.
It was a very brief moment, but Hans was able to see.
A scene created by Ludger’s fantasy.
Although it was created so quickly that it could not take shape, and it was immediately swept away by the red explosion, so it could not be seen properly.
Still, one thing was clear.
that.
Even Hans, who had gathered all kinds of information about the continent, had no idea at all.
‘older brother. ‘What on earth are you hoping for, brother?’
* * *
Quagwagwang.
Dazzling magic engraved the space.
These were attacks that focused on glare by excessively inflating the body, rather than the superior destructive and killing power that was the original purpose of magic.
Since it filled the entire space, a scene similar to a local fireworks festival unfolded.
A magic that only increases size and has no substance.
Naturally, the power had to be significantly lowered.
I could tell from the déjà vu that I was fine even after being hit.
However, Dejavu’s expression was not that good.
[They’re taking time on purpose.]
Even without looking into the future, I could clearly see what the other person was aiming for.
They are intentionally trying to block their vision in order to resist their dreams.
But that didn’t mean it was always just dazzling the eyes.
Amidst the flashing lights of all kinds of elemental colors, the pink magic attack targeting this vital spot seemed particularly eerie.
A sharp dagger that pierces through the gap while blocking your view.
Since Déjà Vu had seen it, there was no difficulty in avoiding it, but it was difficult to shake off the feeling that he was gradually falling into a quagmire.
Now that the weakness of this side’s abilities has been identified, the opponent has no choice but to desperately focus on blocking their view.
At the same time, it was also a waste of time to prepare the secret weapon.
As a matter of déjà vu, this slow war of attrition had to end as quickly as possible.
‘The person who is particularly threatening is that fat man with a vague expression.’
At first glance, it looked like it couldn’t kill even an ant, but it was the biggest threat to Dejavu.
For Déjà Vu, who specialized in anti-magic warfare, the steel golem, a mixture of science rather than pure magic, was an unexpected opponent.
[Nothing like that existed in the human world until Nirva woke up.]
Of course, when looking at magic alone, humans are actually more degenerate now than in the past.
It seemed like magic had become more popular in the more sophisticated and calculated way.
The miraculous power that had been unfolding through pure imagination and the power of mystery was almost lost.
Even back then, humans were beings that didn’t pay much attention, but now we have even forgotten the innocence of the past.
That’s why Déjà Vu was deeply disappointed with the entire human race.
Now I have witnessed new changes in the human world that I was unaware of.
Dejavu had no choice but to change his mind.
[A new power called science, not magic. Magical engineering that mixes that with magic.]
Data created by combining fragments of knowledge flowing in through Dreamland.
With that firmly etched into my mind, I realize how the outside world has changed.
Déjà Vu, which took over hundreds of years to master in just a few seconds, changed its goal.
A teacher named Brinno.
It’s dangerous if you don’t kill him here.
Dejavu’s gaze turned towards Brino’s direction.
Countless magic was blocking the view, as if blocking the space between them.
Every time that happened, the retina of déjà vu turned transparent and the magic was erased like an eraser.
Now that it’s like this.
Déjà Vu broke through the magic curtain blocking his path.
Elisa Willow’s magic flash flying through the gap targeted his vital spot, but Dejavu responded by slightly opening her body.
A flash of light passed through his shoulder.
A clean hit that worked for the first time.
However, Elisha’s expression was not good.
‘I got hit with my body on purpose.’
Dejavu’s gaze was directed at Brino, who had been preparing something a while ago.
I realized what he was aiming for.
The intention was to eliminate Brino as a top priority while taking some damage.
Even if he gets hurt, he won’t die, and if he gets rid of Brino, there won’t be anyone who can defeat him, so he plans to sort everything out after that.
“Protect it!”
Following Elisha’s instructions, the other teachers gritted their teeth and used magic.
However, it was not easy to stop the determined deja vu.
Although he was much inferior to other members of the family, Dejavu’s physical abilities were significantly superior.
Every time he jumped like a rabbit, he quickly jumped through space and quickly reached Brino’s location.
Dejavu jumped high and looked down at Brino.
[It’s the end.]
The dream of déjà vu was activated.
The retina became transparent and the image of Brino reflected in his eyes disappeared.
That means one thing.
It was said that Brino in real life also disappeared like an image that passed by on the retina.
Brino’s face, full of embarrassment, was completely erased from his seat.
The sight brought déjà vu joy.
But immediately afterward, the boy’s face could not help but become stiff.
A few seconds into the future.
His death was waiting there.
Where on earth? how? Surely the most dangerous molecules would have been eliminated?
Déjà vu belatedly discovered a light purple airflow circling around his eyes.
[What is this? Since when…]
His perplexed eyes turned to a female teacher holding a cane and shedding a cold sweat.
Merylda.
She curled up the corner of her mouth when Dejavu saw her.
“Kid. Have you finally seen this sister?”
[Who are you…]
“My specialty is mostly cursing, right? But I guess you didn’t know that curses also have a charm that clouds the other person’s reason?”
Startle.
It was only then that Déjà Vu was able to realize the identity of this surging anxiety.
Curse and fascination. What if it was something that blinded one’s eyes?
Because it wasn’t direct damage, they couldn’t have reacted as if this was dangerous, and naturally they wouldn’t have thought to avoid it.
[Even so, there’s no way I wouldn’t notice this…]
The next thought struck my mind.
The magic that other teachers have shown so far.
What if it wasn’t to hide Brino’s appearance from himself?
[I was aiming for this from the beginning…]
I realized the truth, but it was already too late.
Although he had the power to see the future, he was unable to see that the future he saw was a lie.
Because I couldn’t tell based on ability alone whether it was reality or a well-made set.
The price of having too much faith in one’s abilities came like lightning striking the sky.
Coo!
The ground shook violently and split into left and right sides.
A huge steel arm protruded from within and grabbed Dejavu’s body.
Using the dummy as bait, the real Brino prepared his secret trick by using the magic of the earth to go underground and hide himself.
What appeared through the ground was a huge steam golem.
no.
Calling it a golem was extremely disrespectful to that gigantic creature.
“It wasn’t completely completed, though.”
Brino appeared and stared at Dejavu with clear eyes.
The giant golem that Brino created as best as he could had its right arm, shoulder, chest, and head all in a virtually unfinished form.
But that arm alone was enough to achieve the goal.
“But this is the end.”
[I see.]
At the last moment, Dejavu calmly agreed and smiled faintly.
[Is this a future I didn’t see?]
The huge hand clenched its fist tightly, emitting rough steam.
Holding on to déjà vu.
[Not bad.]
Kwazijic!
