The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 383:

I remembered everything.

I realized this when the scattered pieces of the puzzle came together one by one and eventually began to reveal their original form.

However, I will answer that I am not sure if the painting was what I originally wanted.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Yurim was still crying with her mask on.

It was a prison with iron bars that looked like a mask and could never escape.

“…Take off Yurim’s mask.”

“But… I…”

Kang Seol realized one more thing while looking at Yu Rim who hesitated.

Yurim was a yaksha, but not a yaksha.

Because the time she spent here made her deny that she was a yaksha.

At least there was still a possibility.

Sigh…

Of course, Shinyu’s thoughts cannot be the same as Kangseol’s.

“No Yu-rim… You have to kill the yaksha, Kang-seol.”

“She is not a yaksha.”

“You saw it yourself! She knows too! “She is a Yaksha!”

She just nodded reluctantly.

Even though he wanted to say that there was a girl named Yurim in the yaksha, he couldn’t.

“I… I don’t want to stay in this terrible dream one more moment. I’m going to kill her and get out of here. Answer me, Yurim. Right? “Isn’t that the only way?”

“….”

Kang Seol stood between Yu Rim and Shin Yu.

“… What are you doing?”

“Xinyu, give us time. “I will find a way.”

“Are you sure you plan to stop me?”

“okay.”

My whole body screamed that it had to be that way, that it had to be that way.

Whioooooo…

Immediately, an unprecedented power began to bloom from Shinyu’s body.

“Don’t be mistaken, snowfall.”

A rough and violent force stretched out from Shinyu’s body.

‘I’m stronger than before!’

We may soon find out what happens if the genius named Shin Yu is given time.

“You can’t be my opponent. Before… and in the future. Are you still planning to stop it?”

There was no need to think for long.

I needed time.

“okay.”

A lightning bolt

formed in Shinyu’s hand.

“Then I guess there’s nothing we can do. “It’s just an illusion anyway, so you…”

That was then.

“What… are they doing here?” A man

who

escaped alone from a castle where chaos had unfolded

.

‘Now that I think about it…’

I could no longer feel the noise coming from the castle. That means that the armed conflict that took place inside has ended.

“Snowfall Yurim.”

“Master!”

It was Yoohyeon.

“Please explain properly. “What is that strange mask… and what is Shinyu talking about now?”

Yuhyeon’s eyes stared at the snowfall.

His eyes long for the truth.

But…

‘There’s no way I can say it…’

What he wanted was not something he could say to a precious person.

You are just an illusion left in someone’s soul and a memory of my past. In other words, the life of a person named Yuhyeon is a lie and is all made up.

‘How…’

But it seems someone had a different idea.

“It’s been a while, Master.”

“… Shin Yu. Fortunately, you look healthy.”

“I’ll tell you the answer for you. “Because we spent some time together.”

I’m not sure what Shinyu went through, but somehow he felt different.

“No, Xinyu!”

“You’re fake.”

“… FALSE?”

Yuhyeon’s eyebrows twitched.

“This world is, at best, someone’s dream, and except for me and Snowfall here… and a few people who died, it’s all fake!”

Yuhyeon smiled at Shinyu’s shout.

“That sounds absurd…”

“It may be hard to believe, but…”

“I believe it.”

“… you believe it?”

“My student was a child who did not know how to lie. Even now… right?”

“….”

Before Shin Yu realized the dream, he was taken into the tent. Together with Yurim, he swung his sword under Yuhyeon while preparing for the future.

Clud…

Shinyu clenched his molars.

The past has already passed.

“I just want to ask you one thing.”

A teacher asks a former student.

“If the person I am today is a created being… was Yurim here also a created being?”

“That…”

“You’re really bad at lying.”

It was just as Yuhyeon said.

Even if Shinyu had a purpose, he could not tell a lie.

“Yu-rim… is not.”

“But why are you targeting Yurim?”

Shinyu grabbed his head.

“No… no… it’s all wrong and Yu-rim should disappear. Then this will all be like nothing that ever happened.”

Yoohyeon’s eyes grew wider than ever at his strange reaction.

“Did you really take the medicine that the faces gave you?”

Even Yurim lowered her head at those words.

“Hey… medicine?”

“You… so…”

Medicine?

‘no way!’

The faces did not just embrace people with ideals and purposes. There was information circulating that useful beings were constantly brainwashed through drugs.

I knew that the side effects of the drug would be significantly shortened and that it would cause hallucinations and delusions.

“… Shinyu.”

“It’s not all my fault… it ended up like this. But it’s okay. Because it’s a dream, because it’s an illusion. “Once you wake up, everything will be like nothing that ever happened.”

Sigh…

Shinyu lifted up his jacket.

“Oh my god…”

Huge scars appeared on his body. The terrible wounds that Yu-rim would have experienced if this had been the case.

The hell she experienced was split in half and went to Shin-yu and Kang-seol.

She was saved, even if only for a moment, but on the other hand, there are others who fell into hell.

Sigh…

Shinyu’s gaze turned to Yurim.

Yu-rim said this, trembling while wearing a mask.

“I am… a Yaksha. “He was born as a Yaksha… he killed many people… and always brought misfortune.”

Yurim held her head.

“It’s my fault! “It’s my fault!”

“Yurim.”

Yuhyeon placed her hand on Yurim’s shoulder.

“Take a deep breath.”

“Ugh… Ugh….”

“Don’t cry. You are not a yaksha. “This is my disciple Yurim.”

Kang Seol realized something after seeing Yu Hyeon’s attitude.

How can you be so sure?

In your own actions and in your own judgment.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry for being born… It’s all my fault. Just me… I just need to disappear. I’ll put it all down. I received more than I deserved…”

Sigh…

Yoohyeon holds on to both arms of Yurim, who is tearing out her hair.

“Take off your mask.”

“But… I…”

“Don’t cry, Yurim. “Don’t fall for hardships you didn’t choose.”

Kang Seol thought of it while looking at Yoohyeon.

The Yoohyeon in front of me right now was an illusion, but it was an imprint of Yoohyeon when she was alive.

Kang Seol knew very well what kind of person he was.

He didn’t waver.

“You are still my proud disciple.”

“….”

“Sometimes she acts like a fool, her face turns red often, and she’s no different from any other girl….”

Yurim stopped beating herself up and slowly raised her head.

“He is my disciple. I will not allow you to wear that mask now. Don’t accept the mask either, unless you choose to do so.”

Yuhyeon stood up and looked at Shinyu.

“I always felt sorry for you, Shinyu.”

“I… I…”

“You’ve changed a lot. “It seems like the medicine has reached my bone marrow.”

“I… changed?”

“There is a lot of life in the eyes. “My energy became harsh.”

“….”

“Did a lot happen?”

“Stop… don’t come closer to me anymore…”

Shinyu’s eyes turned red.

“Everything… has to end. With my hand…”

He placed his hand on the scabbard.

“I will finish it… everyone…”

Kang Seol was equally taken aback by Shin Yu’s twisted appearance. I remembered everything about who he was and how we met.

‘Xin Yu…’

Does everything really go back to its original place when you go back from the dream? Is this all going to be nothing that never happened?

“Yurrim and snowfall.”

Yuhyeon stood facing Shinyu and said.

“I guess a fight with my former student is inevitable. “I will somehow postpone the fight between you and Shinyu, which has been twisted.”

Yuhyeon also put his hand on the sword sheath.

“… This will be the final teaching of the poor teacher Shinyu. “Go for it with all your heart.”

“You… are fake…”

“I will not treat you as a souvenir of becoming a fake.”

“I’ve already surpassed you! “I have nothing to learn from you.”

A refreshing smile.

“Is that really true?”

Yuhyeon still did not draw his sword.

Nevertheless, Xin Yu was nervous.

Whioooooooo…

the wind rose.

There was a strong smell of blood coming from Shin Yu’s sword.

It is a sword soaked in blood.

He took part of the path that the yaksha walked.

Paaaaang-!

The movement of the new model seems to be elongating.

Shin Yu’s sword fell like a thunderbolt.

[Shinyu uses Iai: Kang Sundering.]

[Quickly draws the sword from its sheath and inflicts enormous damage to a single target.] [

This is an unavoidable attack.]

[50% fixed damage is applied to large opponents. ]

‘Shinrip’s powerful sword!’

Clap…

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

Yuhyeon pulled out his sword and struck back the sword that fell from above his head.

Ujijijijik-!

He used both arms to withstand the ensuing shock.

“… This is my first time seeing swordsmanship.”

“My brother’s sword…”

“You had a brother.”

“So I have to get out of here…”

Kiririk…

[Shinyu uses Fox Rain.]

[If you defend in succession, 20% of the damage reduced by defense is converted to defense-ignoring damage.]

Paaaaaa Ah!

Stab three times in a row.

Yoohyeon blocks it without difficulty.

“From a heavy sword to a quick sword… It’s unique.”

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

it ain it a bit!

At that moment, a spark appeared in Shinyu’s eyes.

The sword trembled.

‘That black!’

Kang Seol quickly flew up and wrapped Yu Rim.

My body hit the floor due to the impact, but it was better than being turned into an egg.

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu her…

[Xin Yu uses the breeze.]

[The wind of the sword flows in a wide area.]

…

Ujijijijik…

Ujijijik…

Creep…

All the trees nearby have fallen. .

But something was strange.

‘…does it feel different?’

Shin Yu’s sword, which I had felt before, was much softer than just now. And it was more destructive.

Even though he was given enough time in his new life, Shinyu’s sword seemed to have degenerated from before.

‘Why?’

Of course, by Shinyu’s standards, that’s true, but by general standards, he had already become a swordsman who would leave his mark on the continent.

“It’s a good sword.”

“How…”

“And it’s a bad move.”

“How eh!”

Yuhyeon withstood the onslaught and stood unharmed.

There was only a small cut on his clothes, but he was strong.

“You seem a little lost. Xin Yu You may not believe it, but… you are also my disciple.”

“….”

“I don’t have time. So, to encourage your progress, I will have to admonish you somewhat harshly.”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

of a of a strangely clean aura.

“Again… is that it? “Now that is…”

“This is all I know how to do in the first place.”

Clap…

“I will cut you down, Shinyu.”

“Aaaah!”

Sseuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

In reality and in dreams.

A swordsmanship that I have honed my whole life.

[Yoohyeon uses Jeolgi: Unison Cut.]

[Slashes the target.]

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Everyone breathing here was overwhelmed by that swordsmanship.

Clang…

Yuhyeon’s sword returns.

Passssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssibly…

Shin Yu’s sword shattered into small pieces.

and.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssswkk

.

“… uh?”

One of Xin Yu’s arms fell off.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“Xinyu!”

Kang Seol and Yu Rim ran to Shin Yu, who was suffering without realizing it.

“I… I… Why on earth… It’s a dream, but like this…”

Shinyu, who was drunk, rambling and walking backwards.

“no! That one…”

Toduk…

“… Huh?”

Shinyu disappears into the cliff.

Paaaaat-!

Fortunately, someone’s hand touched Shinyu’s remaining hand.

“If you fall… you can’t…”

“… Yurim.”

Yurim, wearing a yaksha mask, shed tears.

“Don’t fall, stay strong!”

Thump…

Thump…

Yurim’s tears fell down on Shinyu’s face. Shinyu’s eyes, which had been dyed red, gradually regained their original shine.

“Yurim… my precious friend. Oh my god….”

“Come up!” You have to come up!”

Thump…

thud…

the rain started.

Crumbling!

A thunderbolt crossing the sky.

“What did I… do…”

Kang Seol tried to help Yu Rim and pull Shin Yu up.

Chuaaaa…

Chuaaaa…

When it rained, the waves got stronger.

Immediately, Xinyu’s complexion hardened.

He seems to have decided on something.

“Next time we meet, we will definitely have to choose.”

Slurp…

“All of you.”

“No! Shinyu!”

Shin Yu let go of Yu Rim’s hand.

Sigh…

Shinyu disappears from the cliff into the waves.

“Ugh… Ugh… Why…”

I forced Yurim to stand up and support her as she was suffering. Xinyu was not the only one whose situation was serious.

Kang Seol and Yu Rim were both shocked.

“Cough…”

Yoohyeon barely breathes, leaning against the trunk of a fallen tree.

The long guns were all stained with blood.

“Master!”

“

Krruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

…

“Haa… haa….”

Kangseol quickly grabbed Yuhyeon’s long sleeves and checked his condition.

“This can’t be right….”

So many injuries.

All of the wounds contained blood and were all fresh wounds. And even the sword that looks like it was just worn by Yoohyeon.

– I don’t have time. So I guess I’ll have to admonish you somewhat harshly for your progress.

‘You’re saying there’s no time…’ Even though he had already collapsed at the meeting place

, he had suffered injuries

that were not unusual .

“How can I use this body…”

“Cough… Today’s events… Sigh… It will buy you some time.”

Time…

Time to make a choice…

Yoohyeon mutters.

He was right.

He didn’t have time.

“Snowfall… my disciple… there is something I must tell you…” “

… say it.”

“Yurim follows you.”

“….”

“If you want to die, it’s not like you’re pretending to die… You’re really a helpless child.”

Yurim just shed tears quietly.

“So you must… make the right choice. “What kind of form do you want Yurim to exist in?”

Yasha and Yurim.

The choice of snowfall was not something worth hesitating.

Sigh…

Snowfall puts her hand on Yurim’s mask.

“Take off your mask, Yurim. “It’s Master’s last day.”

“….”

Ssuk…

Yurim took off her mask.

Her face covered in tears and snot.

“Yurim, I like it when you smile.”

“Master!”

Clap…

Yuhyeon releases the sword from her waist and hands it over to Yurim.

“I give you the time I have walked. “Even if it’s… fake.”

“….”

“My whole life was fake… Kick… Still… wasn’t it useful for being fake?”

“Those words…”

“If the time I devoted… can open up your future… how valuable is this?”

Haa…

haa…

The end has come.

“Xinyu is the strongest one now that all the veils and faces have disappeared. He’s already surpassed me. And maybe… it will become stronger later. Going against his will… you’ll have to be prepared. snowfall.”

“yes.”

“Can you do it? “I mean, can you risk everything to protect Confucianism from someone like that?”

“I… I don’t know yet.”

What is the right decision?

“Then we’ll have to watch from underground to see what choice they make.”

“….”

“The suffering that came to you was not of your choosing. But… this long… and the ending of the story of the false world!”

grasp-!

Yoohyeon holds on to Kangseol’s hand.

After he had already lost his eyesight.

The eyes are stained gray.

It is his last strength.

“As for the ending… you choose it yourself.”

Touuk…

Shootaaaaa…

People left, drowned out by the sound of rain.

Many of those who made up lies were washed away by the rain.

Although they were made up of lies, they lived with sincerity. That much was not washed away by the rain.

[The end of the dream approaches.]

[The collapse of the dream begins.]

…
