Chapter 311: Star, the Last Cryptical Book (3)

‘She’s... me?’ Cha Ye-Eun thought blankly, unable to understand what the woman in the mirror was saying.

Her looks, way of talking... Everything about the woman was different from her. She could just conclude that the woman was lying and ignore her, but...

‘... She’s probably telling the truth.’

Ye-Eun initially assumed that the woman was her from another Worldline, also known as a parallel universe, but that didn’t seem to be the case. If so, then the woman was probably a past reincarnation.

Ye-Eun unknowingly chuckled. ‘If she’s really a previous reincarnation... then did an illness kill me in my past life too?’

Ye-Eun noticed that the woman in the mirror was a transcendent being who possessed a Divine Class. Otherwise, the woman could have never met her. A Celestial was immortal, however, which meant that if they went through samsara, something bad happened to them. It bothered Ye-Eun more since she was ill.

‘Maybe she’s the reason I’m born with this divine punishment...?’

Although she was born as a direct descendant of a great Celestial, her divine punishment cursed her to be nothing more than a mere mortal. On top of that, the curse would soon kill her.

―You must be very confused, but you have to trust...

“I trust you.” Ye-Eun nodded.

―... me—pardon?

“I believe you.”

Rendered speechless, Ithaca opened and closed her mouth for a moment but made no sounds. She thought persuading Ye-Eun would take quite some time, but Ye-Eun’s reply completely exceeded her expectations.

Ye-Eun crossed her arms as her gaze became sharper. “You probably want to deliver a message or something since you showed up here. What is it? Please be quick about it. I’ll say yes to everything if it isn’t too much.”

Ithaca blankly looked at Ye-Eun.

“Or do you want to start talking after you calm down? I’m in a hurry right now.” Ye-Eun glanced at her wristwatch, looking a little anxious.

The more Ye-Eun was delayed, the closer Munseong would get to R’lyeh. Munseong had clearly accomplished and could even possess several , but there was no knowing what scheme he would start inside R’lyeh.

Looking at Ye-Eun, Ithaca smiled bitterly. Ye-Eun remained poised despite mysteriously meeting her past life, which hit very close to home for Ithaca. With a serious look, she sharply inhaled and began to speak.

―No, I won’t take up too much of your time. I’m only here to tell you one thing.

Ye-Eun nodded.

―How is Sun?

‘Sun?’ Ye-Eun tilted her head in confusion, having no idea who Itaca was talking about.

Just then, one person with the word ‘sun’ in his letter flashed across Ye-Eun’s mind, but she wasn’t sure why he was mentioned now.

“Are you talking about Mr. Lee Chang-Sun—!” Ye-Eun turned her head before she could confirm things. “Get down!”

Ithaca followed Ye-Eun’s gaze. Ye-Eun tapped the air with her index finger, forming layers of magic barriers that looked like honeycombs in front of her.

Booom!

Crack―!

The sudden impact shattered dozens of the mirrors, their sharp glass shards sent flying in every direction. It also pushed Ye-Eun back and destroyed seventy percent of her barrier.

Beyond her defenses, Munseong was looking at her with emotionless eyes.

Oooong, ooooong!

“There you are.” Munseong’s sword shook fiercely.

While brushing the glass shards off herself, Ye-Eun noticed something odd about Munseong’s remark. ‘There you are...? He knew that I was going to follow him and was waiting for me.’

Ye-Eun quickly pulled out her gun from her holster. At the same time, a giant magic circle appeared above her head. Dozens of big and small magic circles also meshed with each other like cogwheels.

Wooosh...!

A gust of her mana circled—no, a storm of her mana raged around her as she unleashed her divine power.

[All your sealed mana has been unlocked!]

[Your Divine Class has been unlocked!]

...

[A storm of your Divine Class rages!]

However, Chang-Sun wasn’t fazed. In fact, he even scoffed. “I don’t care about my freedom. Why should I when I just found out that my supposedly dead lover is still alive, but I’m about to lose her again?”

“... You’re quite devoted.”

“She means everything to me.”

With mixed emotions, Thanatos stroked his chin. “Your everything, huh?”

From when he was born to this moment, he lived his entire life as the ruler of the , so he knew nothing about love. However, when he looked at Chang-Sun, he gained a rough idea about what it was. It was someone whom one would be happy to give up their life for. That was who Ithaca was for Chang-Sun.

“In that case...” Thanatos took a step back.

Paah!

A pool of light enveloped Chang-Sun.

[In accordance with your request, your reward has been changed!]

[The increase in your Class has been suspended.]

[Your shackle remains.]

...

[You have accumulated Merits.]

[Your Merits have been exchanged to the currency used in your ‘Store Window.’]

...

[You have bought ‘Elixir’!]

Chang-Sun opened up the potion bottle and gulped all of it down, energizing his sluggish body.

[You have consumed ‘Elixir’!]

[Replenishing your HP.]

[Replenishing your Mana.]

...

[All your negative status effects have started to disappear.]

...

[Your unstable Spirituality Class has become sturdy again!]

[6 hours 11 minutes 57 seconds remaining until full recovery.]

Chang-Sun gritted his teeth, and his Inferno Sights blazed up again as if someone threw firewood into them.

Woosh!

He required quite some time to fully recover from his extremely bad state, but it didn’t matter. All he needed was enough strength to run to where Ithaca was.

[The Title ‘Jigwi Light Incarnation’ has been applied, spreading your wings open!]

His Class’ storm raged, and a big set of amber wings sprouted from his back.

Looking at Chang-Sun, Thanatos bid his farewell. “I wish you luck.”

Expressing his gratitude, Chang-Sun nodded and flew outside.

‘Hold on, Ithaca.’ Chang-Sun tightened his grip on the [Twilight Spear]. ‘I’m coming.’

Paaah―!

Chang-Sun disappeared.

Thud...!

And Sanjiva disappeared into the darkness.

[The Authority ‘Execution Sword’ has been deactivated!]

[Sanjiva has been withdrawn from the .]
