Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Chapter 296: Episode 56 – Reader and Writer (2)

Along with the extreme dizziness, it felt like the entire history of my life had been destroyed.

Yoo Jonghyuk’s sponsor. I didn’t know exactly who it was. It couldn’t be described or explained. I

could just see it. It was very powerful and pure. It was like the original circle of desire.

A baby’s laughter echoed in my ears and by the time I came to my senses, half of the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword had fallen to the ground.

Yoo Jonghyuk’s link wasn’t broken. I had failed. I turned my head and saw Han Sooyoung approaching me.

“Did you see it?” Han Sooyoung was making a strange smile. At her waist, the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword was shaking just like mine.

“...You already tried it?”

“Of course. I tried it on a much larger scale than you. I borrowed the power of a nebula.”

Perhaps Hyung had confirmed the reality of the sponsor in a form more clearer than me.

“What the hell is it?”

“Let’s see? I don’t know exactly. Still, don’t you have a bit of a guess?”

I didn’t answer. Han Sooyoung continued speaking, “Now your last plan has failed. There is no other way.”

“...”

“As I told you before, Yoo Jonghyuk agreed to this plan.”

“Yoo Jonghyuk agreed?”

“You can read thoughts. Haven’t you tried reading that guy’s thoughts?”

There was a clanging sound as Yoo Jonghyuk hit Han Sooyoung’s sword. I watched Yoo Jonghyuk’s back that was blocking the front of me. Obviously, I could use Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint stage 2 on him now. I hesitated for a moment before triggering the skill.

[The exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ has been activated!]

[Your understanding of this person is sufficient and the second stage of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is activated!]

Yoo Jonghyuk’s thoughts were heard in my head. Most of the words floated in the air like dust because his consciousness was deeply sunken. One or two fell beside me like snow and then there was a flood of heavy snow.

「 I want to die. 」

「 I want to die. 」

「 I want to die. 」

I was currently looking at the inner self of a human who was repressed in the text of Ways of Survival.

Han Sooyoung approached me as I stood there idly. Her hair grazed my chin as she reached into my coat and took out Arondight. Han Sooyoung laughed as she finally collected five swords and stepped away from me.

Yoo Jonghyuk stood blankly. Once Han Sooyoung inserted all the swords, Yoo Jonghyuk would be trapped forever. Then he would get what he wanted. This was the ending of this world.

At this time, I heard something in my ear. It was a very small voice. It was a very small voice among the countless voices.

I placed the broken Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword on my shoulder and ran towards the distant Han Sooyoung. Her coat was crumpled by the strong grip and Han Sooyoung turned her head with a frown. “You still want to come?”

I watched Yoo Jonghyuk. I heard it clearly. I was still listening.

「 I want to live. 」

It was very faint but it was a voice. He was clearly speaking. Han Sooyoung threw off my hand in an irritated manner.

“Forget saying any good things. Yoo Jonghyuk has to die in order to achieve what you and I want.”

“You don’t know what I want.”

I grasped Unbroken Faith. The blade cried out and Han Sooyoung stepped away from me with a hardened face.

“What the hell are you trying to do? There is no other way for you.”

That’s right. There was no way. The Outer World Covenant meant I had no way to save Yoo Jonghyuk. There was no such thing in Ways of Survival that I read all night.

“There is a way.”

However, there was another way.

“Yoo Jonghyuk!”

At my shout, Yoo Jonghyuk ran like a lightning bolt and dealt a blow to Han Sooyoung. In this short gap, Yoo Jonghyuk was able to take four swords from Han Sooyoung.

Holy Sword Ascalon. Thunder Sword Gram. Dragon Sword Ridill. The Dragon Slayer Arondight. They were all swords with dragon killing stories. They were the key swords in this scenario.

“Now Yoo Jonghyuk! Free the apocalypse dragon!”

“What is this nonsense?!”

The angry Han Sooyoung rushed towards Yoo Jonghyuk. I bumped into Han Sooyoung’s body and rolled with her. Han Sooyoung kicked me while shouting. “There are only four swords! You will never clear the scenario!”

“No, there is one more sword.”

I pulled out a sword. The Grass-Cutting Sword. It was a sword obtained from Yamata no Orochi in Peace Land. I used the Grass-Cutting Sword to kill the shadow of Yamata no Orochi and it inherited the story of slaying a dragon.

“Take it, Yoo Jonghyuk!” Yoo Jonghyuk received the sword that was fired with Way of the Wind. Finally, all five dragon slaying swords were gathered. Han Sooyoung shouted, “You crazy bastard...!”

There was a conflict between the ‘status’ that Han Sooyoung and I emitted. I activated Electrification while pouring the blue-white energy towards Han Sooyoung. Han Sooyoung was pushed by the magic power and exclaimed, “Everyone, stop Yoo Jonghyuk!”

Han Sooyoung’s shout caused the eyes of the scattered party members to concentrate on Yoo Jonghyuk at the same time.

“I’ll catch him!”

Kim Namwoon discovered Yoo Jonghyuk first and flew.

“Damn, I knew you were going to betray...!”

Lee Jihye and Lee Hyunsung belatedly came out. Three of the 100 most powerful people in Ways of Survival ran towards Yoo Jonghyuk at once.

Han Sooyoung emitted a formidable aura and screamed at me. “Do you know what you’re doing now? If this scenario is cleared―”

Han Sooyoung’s following words weren’t heard. I watched Yoo Jonghyuk’s back as he headed towards the seal.

「 Kim Dokja thought about the third round Yoo Jonghyuk, who was silently going through the scenarios. 」

The sword wielded by Lee Jihye cut at Yoo Jonghyuk’s back.

「 He thought of Yoo Sangah and Han Sooyoung of the third round. 」

Lee Hyunsung grabbed Yoo Jonghyuk’s wrist while Kim Namwoon aimed the black flames at Yoo Jonghyuk’s face.

「 He thought for a long time about Jung Heewon and the children, Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung. 」

Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t back down. His coat was torn and he moved forward while bleeding. Lee Jihye and Lee Hyunsung were swept away by the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship.

「 He thought of Lee Jihye who called him ‘garbage’ and Lee Hyunsung, who lost his casings. 」

...I wanted to see it.

「 Thus Kim Dokja finally made up his mind. 」

I told Han Sooyoung, “I won’t go back to the third round.”

“What nonsense are you saying? You, now...”

“I will stay here and see the ending with the people here.”

The end of this world wasn’t the ending I wanted.

「 It might take a very long time. Maybe I will never be able to go back. 」

Even so, it was an ending.

“Secretive Plotter isn’t the only outer god of this world. There will be another way to go back. Clearing the scenario and moving towards the end...”

“Don’t talk nonsense! It doesn’t matter what you do! You don’t know the end of this story anyway!”

“I don’t know.”

I spoke as I followed Yoo Jonghyuk soaring towards the sealing sphere.

“I’ll create it myself.”

Han Sooyoung leapt towards the sky and fired a black spear at Yoo Jonghyuk’s back. I threw myself in front of the spear instead. The shock hurt but I didn’t retreat. Han Sooyoung’s eyes were filled with a completely different killing intent.

“Shall we do it now?” Han Sooyoung directly threatened me.

[The constellation ‘Director of the False Last Act’ is looking at you.]

Laughter emerged. Like me, Han Sooyoung of this round didn’t have a sponsor. She was a constellation like me. She even held the same Unbroken Faith in my hand.

Unbroken Faith shone with a black ether that was much stronger than mine. The moment the black blade appeared in front of me, I used the White Pure Star Energy and blocked the blow. It was obviously blocked but the bones of my hand were distorted from the impact.

Han Sooyoung’s body started to divide. Avatar. Numerous clones leapt towards Yoo Jonghyuk and I at the same time. I moved to stop them. Jophiel’s Unit 503 was qualified to stop the clones.

“Jophiel!”

However, Archangel Jophiel didn’t answer. I could guess why. Perhaps she didn’t like my current choice. The archangels wanted to go back to the original world. action

The next moment.

[The story ‘Person Who is Loved by an Archangel’ is triggered!]

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ feels favourable towards you.]

Archangel Gabriel sent me an indirect message. At the same time, Gabriel’s Preference Scale was created in one hand.

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ is looking at you.]

[The constellation ‘Commander of the Red Cosmos’ is confused.]

I didn’t know why Gabriel chose to help me. The only thing I was certain of was that I desperately needed her help. Han Sooyoung ran and shouted, “A reader shouldn’t disturb me. The owner of the story is a writer! The world should end here!”

“You aren’t the owner of this story either. That type of ending is only in your world!”

I cut through dozens of avatars of Han Sooyoung and flew towards the dark clouds. Two Unbroken Faiths met in the air. The ether of the divine nature and ether of the dark nature clashed together and produced a strange tone. Along with the powerful explosion, my Electrification was broken.

I rolled on the ground while covered in wounds, Most of Han Sooyoung’s avatars had disappeared but she was still going strong. As the angry Han Sooyoung ran through the dust towards me, I shouted, “Go! Yoo Jonghyuk!”

Yoo Jonghyuk’s body leapt into the air and he finally reached the sealed sphere.

[The five keys have been inserted in the sealing sphere.]

Han Sooyoung shouted, “No!”

Five swords were inserted into the huge sphere. There was the sound of the keyhole being turned.

[Someone has released the ‘Seal of the Apocalypse Dragon.’]

[The scenario clear conditions have been met.]

The sleeping dragon’s power was awakening. The entire sky flickered like a giant light bulb. The sky was half divided into night and day. I felt the owner of a giant story waking up.

[The constellations of the nebula ‘Olympus’ are astonished.]

[The constellations of the nebula ‘Vedas’ have boarded their flagship.]

[The constellations of the nebula ‘Papyrus’ are wary.]

The messages of the nebulae were head as the shadow of the dragon trapped in the sphere was revealed. I knew what would happen later.

Not long after, the apocalypse dragon roared and swung its tail towards the constellations in the distant Star Stream. A third of the night sky disappeared. Maybe, if they were really unlucky―

「 Kim Dokja. 」

I turned my head and saw Yoo Jonghyuk holding the Heaven Shaking Sword beside me. He didn’t seem to care if this scenario was cleared or not. The moment we made eye contact, I got goosebumps.

...Since when had the regression depression been released? The two eyes were staring at me with a clear awareness. That bastard asked me.

「 The world that you showed, does it really exist? 」
