Chapter 136: Episode 26 – Scenario Destroyer (6)

Translator: Rainbow Turtle

I doubted my ears for a moment. This bastard Yoo Jonghyuk... what was he doing now?

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ appears late and looks around.]

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is giggling at the situation.]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is astonished.]

[The constellation ‘ Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is praying for the line to be spoken again.]

Nirvana asked again like he couldn’t believe it. “Just now...”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ likes this triangle.]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ has sponsored you 2,000 coins.]

What damn triangle? I saw Nirvana’s white face and realized something was wrong. I was in the middle of putting together a good plan dammit.

I opened my mouth. “What is this nonsense? We aren’t companions?”

Yoo Jonghyuk replied with a blank expression. “No one was talking about you...” action

No matter what Yoo Jonghyuk’s intentions were, the situation was already worsening. Nirvana shivered and spoke in a trembling voice. “Why isn’t it me...”

A fearsome killing intent was released from Nirvana’s body and a huge mandala appeared behind him.

I instinctively took a step back. Why were the people around Yoo Jonghyuk always so anxious to be recognized as a companion? I wouldn’t mind giving this jerk to them.

“Why isn’t it me? Why is it him?” A brilliant light burst from Nirvana’s mandala.

I hurriedly whispered towards Yoo Jonghyuk. “Hey, just say that you like him. Quickly.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Why? Hey, just close your eyes and do it once...”

Nirvana shouted angrily when he saw me whispering. “Don’t whisper in front of me!”

Then Yoo Jonghyuk spoke in a loud voice, “I’m not interested in men!”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ cries out for blood.]

[2,000 coins have been sponsored.]

Nirvana looked like he would puke.

“I’m not a man!”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is embarrassed.]

“Of course, I’m not a woman either!”

It was a complete mess. I was annoyed by the wave of magic power that was strengthened by Nirvana’s passion.

“What are you doing? Just say you like him! You can use him later...”

“He is too dangerous.”

Shit, this damn pride. Nivana’s combat power was expected to exceed Yoo Jonghyuk. There was also no guarantee if all the Salvation members joined in.

“Wait a minute!”

I eventually stepped forward and opened my mouth. A reincarnator was a card that could be useful in future situations. I didn’t have to fight against him here.

“I think there is a misunderstanding so talk to me.”

[The character ‘Nirvana Moebius’ has lost his sense of reason.]

“We have no intention of being hostile to the Salvation Church. He just isn’t good at expressing himself...” I deliberately bumped into Yoo Jonghyuk’s shoulder. “In fact, we were thinking about going under you. Let’s throw away the future and live for the present! How good would that be? Jonghyuk, don’t you think so?”

Of course, I didn’t actually agree with the doctrines. In the Star Stream, if you threw away the future and lived in the present then you would just fall. I wanted to live longer, even if I was a bit less happy. That’s why I was a slave to capitalism.

“...Really? Answer, Yoo Jonghyuk!”

Nirvana’s fierce aura gradually declined but Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t help the situation. “It is nonsense.”

“No, wait a minute!” I shouted but it was already too late.

Nirvana gritted his teeth. “Indeed, it was like this. Then go to hell!”

I used Bookmark the moment Nirvana moved.

[The Bookmark skill is currently updating.]

[Replacing old bookmarks with new bookmarks.]

[There are five minutes left until the bookmarks replacement is complete.]

What? Damn, right now? Meanwhile, Nirvana had accelerated to right before my nose. It was fast, as if he was using Way of the Wind.

...No, was this really Way of the Wind? I belatedly recalled that he was an Imyuntar in a past life.

Yoo Jonghyuk stood in front of me. Nirvana’s mandala and Yoo Jonghyuk’s Heaven Shaking Sword collided, causing a sound like a building was collapsing.

Nirvana said, “What a lovely friendship. You are thinking of your companion first?”

“Kim Dokja, back away! This person...!”

“Too late.” Nirvana’s words were faster. No, his words and actions were faster. “Your companion will die.”

Nirvana chanted a spell and Yoo Jonghyuk’s body stiffened like a stone statue.

[The character ‘Nirvana Moebius’ has used the stigma Eternal Nightmare Lv. 8.]

I knew this skill. It was the most lethal technique against Yoo Jonghyuk. Sparks flew around the hardened body of Yoo Jonghyuk. Like a broken robot, Yoo Jonghyuk’s neck froze as he turned back to me. He was looking at me but it wasn’t me he was seeing.

R...un... aw...ay.

Yoo Jonghyuk was currently trapped in a prison of his most terrible trauma. A horrible prison where one memory was repeatedly played. It was a mental skill that was a level higher than the skill used by the boss of the Theatre Dungeon.

“Come here, cheeky person who was reborn.”

Nirvana had the highest level mental skill to dig into the gap in Yoo Jonghyuk’s weakness.

It was an incredible feat. However, a reincarnator was still affected by probability. It was impossible for him to have such strength at this point. I stared at Nirvana’s slender muscles.

“I will make you holy.”

Did he abandon everything physical and invest everything in the mental system and acceleration? This was the only thing that made sense.

Nirvana raised a counter skill just for Yoo Jonghyuk, who had a weak mental state. It was unknown about other existences but he couldn’t lose against Yoo Jonghyuk. By the way, how did he get the exact right skill? Unless someone else gave him the information...

“Run away!” Min Jiwon and the Hwarang blocked the incoming Nirvana. She didn’t back down in front of the person who could even stop Yoo Jonghyuk. “Quickly! There is no hope in Seoul if you die!”

“King of Beauty.” Nirvana smiled happily at the sight of Min Jiwon. “Last time you ran away well but now you seem inspired by my thoughts!”

The two of them had already met.

“You knew you were going to die and realized something? Humans really have to live in the present. Humanity is all about the present.”

Min Jiwon shouted at me, “Go quickly! It is too much for you alone! If you are with Yoo Sangah-ssi and Jung Heewon-ssi...!”

Nirvana moved before the King of Beauty’s words finished. More than a dozen Hwarang flocked to Nirvana but they weren’t a match for him in the first place. Nirvana touched the forehead of the Hwarang and they collapsed on the spot. It was the use of Thought Infection.

“U-Uwah, uwahh!”

The Hwarang collapsed and started to scream with pain.

“Life is hell!”

Along with the screams, the shouts of the Salvation members were heard from the rear.

“Die for the present!”

“Today is the only place where we can live!”

The members recited threats and sprang towards the Hwarang. As I looked at the Salvation members, Nirvana was already reaching towards the King of Beauty’s forehead. “Don’t worry, King of Beauty. I like pretty existences.”

“U-Uhhhh...”

“Thus, I won’t kill you.”

[The character ‘Nirvana Moebius’ has used Thought Infection Lv. 9.]

A white aura stretched from Nirvana and started to wriggle around Min Jiwon. Like tentacles, the aura stems pierced her body.

“Accept your present.”

“I don’t want to! I don’t want to...!”

The hidden desires of the King of Beauty were pouring out thanks to this aura. Nirvana laughed at her desires.

“You want to go to a luxurious spa while your companions are dying? Foolish woman.”

“N-No. I...”

“You just want to enjoy a splendid life. You still haven’t forgotten the days when you were an actor. Thus, you became a king.”

Nirvana was enjoying himself greatly.

“Accept your desires. Admit that you have such sick thoughts while your companions are dying! That is what a human is. If you deny your desires then you are nothing.”

The king of Beauty’s eyes gradually became cloudy. It was a skill that violently convinced a person of their own desires and forced their time into the ‘present.’

This was the process of joining the ‘Salvation Church.’ Dammit, Bookmark was still...

[The Bookmark update has been completed.]

That’s it!

[The update has increased the efficiency of the bookmarks by 20%.]

I activated Bookmark.

[The exclusive skill ‘Way of the Wind Lv. 9’ has been activated!]

I stepped on the wind and flew through the air. The increased bookmark efficiency raised the level of Way of the Wind.

Okay, then there might be a chance of victory. I swung Blade of Faith towards the confused Nirvana. Nirvana narrowly avoided my blade but there was still a big cut.

I raised Min Jiwon. “Are you okay?”

“Ah, ah...”

Nirvana, who retreated, was once again flying towards me. Light flowed from the mandala into his grip.

I swung the Blade of Faith. Sparks flashed and my hands hurt, but I held on more than I expected.

Like Yoo Jonghyuk’s Transmission, the reincarnator had a similar Succession skill. It allowed him to inherit skills from his past life. As I expected, this person focused more on mental abilities and speed than close combat.

“How can you use Way of the Wind? It can’t be...” Nirvana frowned as he blocked my blade. “Are you the one the ‘neutral’ guy mentioned?”

“I’m a bit famous?”

“Impertinent fellow!”

Nirvana once again collided with the Blade of Faith. Then a white aura was emitted from the mandala.

[The character ‘Nirvana Moebius’ has used Thought Infection Lv. 9.]

It appeared like expected.

“Now die! Accept your fate!”

Nirvana’s white aura shot towards me but I didn’t avoid it.

“Human beings aren’t slaves of desire. They are animals fighting their desires.”

[The exclusive skill, ‘Fourth Wall’ is activated.]

The white aura digging into me melted away in an instant. I’m sorry but your thoughts would never eat at me. It was because my ‘present’ wasn’t here.

[The Fourth Wall has completely invalidated the effects of Thought Infection.]

I rushed to the astonished Nirvana.
