Episode 531: Dream Family (2)
Imjongmong’s Undying.
One of the five descendants of Nirva and the owner of the strongest strength that shakes the world of dreams.
A gigantic body and an immortal body.
That alone was more than enough for him to reign at the top of all dream beings.
[Turn off.]
Such Udaing has now died while falling down on the floor.
The body was fine.
The power he possesses allows him to return everything to its original state even if his heart bursts or his head flies off.
A level of resilience that goes beyond regeneration and can even be called time reversal.
However, even such excellent recovery could not make the pain that had once been gone disappear.
Yes.
At first glance, Undying’s immortality seems like a great ability, but it’s just a torso that’s fine.
The spirit wasn’t like that.
I was able to overcome quite a few injuries with strong mental power.
In fact, because of this characteristic, Undying had a strong mental power that was different from others.
His body is a shield that protects his master, Nirva.
Therefore, immortality was a trait acquired through the mindset of never being able to collapse or fall.
That no one can kill him.
This power will make him invincible.
It was definitely like that.
“You’re a strong kid who still maintains your sanity. “This old lady is also starting to get tired.”
Clara Cowen chuckled and looked down at Undying from the sky.
Undying didn’t answer. It was because I thought that the moment I opened my mouth, it would not be an excited cry but a beg for help.
His mind had already been shredded by Clara Cowen’s torturous assault.
The reason I kept my mouth shut was because of my final and final pride as a member of the family.
However, even if he maintained his pride, there was nothing he could do about the power of violence that was right in front of him.
Clara Cowen said she was exhausted, but Undying didn’t think that was the case at all.
She was fine.
In fact, I feel like the more I use the power of dreaming, the more vivid it becomes than before.
No, it wasn’t an illusion.
[You, you…]
Undying barely opened her mouth.
In his mind fading from the pain of excessive torture, he remembered his master, Nirva.
That old woman named Clara Cowen.
Different from ordinary humans.
I was suspicious at the point where dreams were handled freely, but the level was too threatening.
Contrary to his seemingly benevolent appearance, this was evident just by looking at the fact that his spirit was destroyed through all kinds of torture methods that existed on the continent.
That’s why it’s dangerous.
Even though his master, Nirva, would never be harmed by humans.
If the.
Still, if there really is that possibility.
[Geugeuggeukgeuk.]
“Are you still trying to move?”
Clara quietly watched Undying’s actions and aimed her wand.
Flash!
Green crosses created in the air were embedded in various parts of Undying’s body.
The arm he barely lifted was pierced by the cross and fell helplessly.
[I am. Imjongmong’s… Undying….]
“I guess I’ll just get some sleep.”
Clara aimed her wand at Undying’s head.
The green dream at the end spread like smoke.
There was no attack that destroyed the body like before.
Just like the hands of a grandmother who quietly caresses her grandchildren.
The green dream just wrapped around Undying in a cozy way.
Undying’s open mouth slowly closed.
The wide-open eyes gradually lost color and became empty, and the huge eyelids closed down.
Undying passed away quietly, like someone who had been euthanized.
Clara, who saw the large body soon turn into golden powder and scatter in the wind, landed on the ground and lightly tapped her waist with her hand.
“Oh my. “It’s really hard to fight at this age.”
You will never feel this kind of physical pain in Dreamland.
But Clara complained like a person who was really sick and walked away.
Since the children were below, we had to go down as quickly as possible to join them.
* * *
The depths of Dreamland.
There, golden powder flew towards Nirva, who was quietly closing her eyes, and seeped into her body.
Nirva’s eyes slowly opened, and the golden light contained within flowed out softly.
The corners of Nirva’s mouth twitched slightly.
“All of my family members suffered.”
This is a member of the family sent to rule out risk factors.
They were members of the family that he created by giving them dream characteristics through the power bestowed by the goddess himself.
In this Dreamland, no one except the goddess and herself would have dared to harm her subjects.
They all died and returned to Nirva.
It was the so-called eternal rest.
“You can dream again. “You can also recreate the family members.”
That’s the story when the goddess’s power was complete.
Now that the goddess was still asleep, there was no way to reawaken the descendants in her eternal sleep.
I wouldn’t have been that surprised if only one of the five families had been hit.
But all five suffer.
At this point, I became more surprised and interested than annoyed and angry.
It was said that, apart from Ludger Chelisi, there were at least four other people with the mentality to kill their relatives.
Maybe even more than that.
Now that Nirva had come this far, there was only one path set for her.
Just be quiet.
And calmly.
All I had to do was wait for the guests to arrive here.
“I shouldn’t have greeted you directly from the beginning.”
The moment I was mumbling like that.
Suddenly, he remembered that Zero Order had come to visit him.
There was no way that cunning bastard had shown himself in front of me for no reason.
I said that because I had enough confidence, and it was proven to be true.
“Is this the blade you prepared to destroy me? It’s a pity. “It’s truly pitiful.”
They originally didn’t get along well, but even so, they didn’t go as far as killing Lumensis as an apostle with the same goal.
However, Zero Order clearly wanted Nirva dead.
“I never thought the ghosts still haunted by the past would grow so strong.”
okay.
If you go that far, I’ll have to accept this match.
This too must be an ordeal given to me by the Goddess to make me fully open my eyes.
“I will accept everything.”
And I will endure.
All the dirt, pain, sadness, depression, anger, hatred, and death in the world.
Everything will fade away before the dream.
He will suffer as much as he can and will give up his body.
So if only I could go to a new paradise.
“It’s soon. “As long as the Goddess opens her eyes, it will all be over.”
There is now only one mission given to Nirva.
This was to buy time for the goddess to wake up to the guests who would soon arrive.
* * *
“Are you okay now?”
Hans kept glancing back without stopping.
One experience of the world changing based on one’s memories and wishes was enough.
But I never knew when something similar would suddenly happen as long as I stayed here.
Hans couldn’t help but feel fear.
“till now. There are no special signs. “We will have to wait and see whether it happens periodically or not with some time lag.”
“…I don’t want to be here anymore.”
“A sea of sympathy.”
Realizing your desired fantasy right before your eyes?
In some ways, this place was like a utopia for everyone.
For those who want money, there is a mountain of gold and silver treasures.
For those who want fame, a splendid palace and throne.
For those who want love, the most attractive person of the opposite sex.
There is no need to work hard and suffer to get something.
just.
If you wish for it earnestly, it will come true.
What a comfortable place this is.
“It’s a perfect place to die.”
As I continued walking, the scenery changed little by little.
The ground, which was translucent like the water, was soon touched by grass that made a rustling sound.
When I looked down and looked at the ground, I saw a wide field of dry grass that had faded to black.
The surroundings were still white, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that the color had faded from before.
A gray, hazy fog seemed to be rising around me.
As I walked along the path, a black shape appeared beyond the fog.
“What on earth is that?”
“Ugh. “Something is strange.”
These were the words spoken by Sedina and Seridan after seeing the black figure.
Hans didn’t say anything, but he seemed to agree with what the two were saying.
The black shape I was seeing now, which looked like a twisted, undergrown tree, somehow resembled a person.
A wooden statue in the shape of a person bending down and praying earnestly toward something.
He is skinny, like a starving person, and his skin is full of wrinkles.
His head was completely bald and his eye sockets were sunken, making him look like a skull.
The number of wooden statues that can be seen right away is in the hundreds.
Beyond the slightly thinning fog, wooden statues were spread out as if forming a forest.
Everyone swallowed their saliva at the indescribably bizarre sight.
Only Ludger narrowed his eyes and observed the wooden statue closely.
“Joe be careful! “It might move suddenly!”
Ludger shook his head at Sedina’s warning.
“no. It won’t move. “Everyone here is in a deep sleep.”
“You’re in a deep sleep… Are you saying this is a person?”
“okay. “This is the end of those who fall into this world.”
Ludger looked down at the wooden statue in front of him with a dry gaze.
It was so quiet that I couldn’t tell, but if I listened closely, I could tell that something was coming out of the wooden statue’s open mouth with a sound the size of a mosquito.
They were now praying.
I hope that my dream will continue without stopping.
“It’s so sweet to have what you want come true. However, at some point, delusion arises in people’s hearts.”
Ludger took a step back.
The rest of the group followed slowly.
“Will this happy moment really last forever? “Just like suddenly waking up one day, wouldn’t this hope disappear as if washed in water?”
The more you immerse yourself in your dream, the more you immerse yourself in it.
They become so deeply submerged that they can no longer escape.
The moment you realize it, it’s already too late.
No matter how much I struggled, my body, which had already been submerged deep in the depths, could not come back to its original position.
In the end, there was only one way to choose.
I just pray that my current rest will not end.
“Because it was so sweet, the anxiety of losing it must be great. “Like a person who is addicted to drugs, they are swayed by anxiety symptoms and their mind is completely destroyed.”
This was the end of those who were so broken and broken.
Hans swallowed.
A chill came over me as I thought that if Ludger had not saved me at that time, another wooden statue would have been added to this place.
“It really stinks.”
Like a lanternfish that exists deep in the deep sea.
It lures its prey with light and then plunges it into the jaws of the endless abyss.
The middle part of the middle class was that kind of place.
A world where dream ghosts live.
“Am I really okay? “If it’s still alive, it might attack suddenly.”
“These are things I don’t have the strength or desire to do. “These guys have a hard time just protecting the single lump of sand they hold in their hands.”
The sand flows through the cracks of their fingers in real time, but even though they know it, they are foolish enough to not let go.
But Ludger did not necessarily blame them.
Who among humans can truly keep their sanity in this world?
It was best not to come, but it was obvious that if he did come, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, it would be like this.
“let’s go. “There is nothing we can do.”
Ludger walked among the dream ghosts without even paying attention to them.
The confident steps made me feel so embarrassed that I wondered if it was okay for the group to be like this.
How long did it take to walk like that?
Before we knew it, the procession of wooden statues had come to an end.
Gray fog over the sword-discolored grass.
Beyond that, a huge silhouette began to come into view.
It was a huge gate that seemed to pierce the sky like a mountain.
The large door with countless carvings resembled the door Ludger entered through the Order Synod earlier.
Perhaps that door was created based on that.
“Is this the lower part of the middle floor?”
If you go a little further through that door, you will find the depths of Dreamland.
It was a place he could never normally go to, but now that Nirva had created the current situation, he was able to come this far.
‘But from here on, I’m not sure.’
Julia’s warning extended to the middle of the middle layer.
This is because she only heard the story up to the central part and did not know anything more.
In other words, from here on, it is completely uncharted territory.
The rest of the group seemed to have felt this as well, so they all stood still, frozen in place.
They stared at Ludger in silence.
What are you going to do? Are you going or are you going to stay here?
Ludger, receiving those gazes, closed his eyes for a moment.
How many minutes have passed?
Ludger opened his closed eyes and said.
“It doesn’t stop.”
I couldn’t delay since I had come this far anyway.
I kept thinking about the goddess I saw in Clara’s world that day.
The moment it woke up, it felt like something irreversible was about to happen.
Ludger decided to trust his intuition.
It was the moment when I was about to take that step.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
The group looked back in surprise.
“Wizard Zantman?”
Ludger’s eyes widened as he recognized the old man he had encountered at the Dream School.
