The puppet of the most ancient dream.
Yu Jung-Hyeok frowned deeply, although this wouldn't be his first time hearing that term.
“It's that nonsense about a puppet again. What does it even mean?”
[You still haven't even figured that out yet, and that's why you're only the 3rd turn.]
“Don't speak as if you're so amazing yourself. What do you know about this turn, anyway?”
[I know a lot more than you.]
A burst of anger took over Yu Jung-Hyeok and the golden light suddenly dyed his right eye.
[Exclusive skill, 'Eye of Sage Lv.???', is activating!]
The current Yu Jung-Hyeok was a Transcender, repeatedly experiencing the rapid rise of his Status and now strong enough to fight against Fable-grade Constellations. When considering the fact that the discernment level of the [Eye of Sage] depended on the user's Status, he should be able to read the fragmented information on a Constellation now.
Tsu-chuchuchut!
Only two people managed to perfectly shut out his [Eye of Sage] until now. One was the Prophet, Anna Croft, while the other, Kim Dok-Ja.
However, if his thoughts were correct, then there should be one more being that he couldn't read, as well.
[As befitting the 3rd turn, your judgement is also dull.]
The right eye of the 'Secretive Plotter' also glowed in the brilliant golden hue, exactly the same as Yu Jung-Hyeok.
The vision in his right eye was dyed crimson momentarily, and the trickling blood wet Yu Jung-Hyeok's cheek.
[Exclusive skill, 'Eye of Sage' has been perfectly defended against by another 'Eye of Sage'!]
[Constellation, 'Secretive Plotter', is looking at the Incarnation, 'Yu Jung-Hyeok'.]
“There's no way that a bastard like you are 'Yu Jung-Hyeok'.” He simply couldn't accept it. “No matter which regression turn 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' it is, he'd never use the scenario of the others as his entertainment.”
He was certain of this.
Even if he existed in other regression turns, regardless of how many lives he'd go through, he was completely certain of never changing his creed.
The eyes of the 'Secretive Plotter' quietly gleamed. [You're correct. I'm merely the 'Secretive Plotter' now.]
He was merely the 'Secretive Plotter' – something this being continued to mention up until now.
He continued on. [The 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' from the 3rd turn only existed to destroy
“….So, you knew that.”
The 'Secretive Plotter' glanced at the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] crying out viciously and vigorously, and formed a faint smile. No, rather than calling that a smile, it'd be more correct to describe that as a 'slightly unsettling movement of lips', instead.
[When you destroy
The ends of the Plotter's gaze fell on the slumped figure of Kim Dok-Ja. He wavered as if his breathing would come to an end at any second, causing Yu Jung-Hyeok to dash forward.
Claaaang!
The [Heaven Shaking Sword] and the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] clashed and blue sparks danced everywhere. Blood trickled down from the corner of Yu Jung-Hyeok's lips.
[Great Fable, 'Torch the Swallowed the Myth', is roaring out!]
He didn't even bother to wipe that off and swung the sword once more. That was an attack borne out of the need to get rid of all the unnecessary thoughts from his mind. An act of one last-ditch effort, to focus on the target right before eyes by simplifying his thought process. Unfortunately, his opponent knew already what he was trying to do here.
The 'Secretive Plotter' evaded the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] and threw a question as if to make fun of him. [Why are you trying to rescue Kim Dok-Ja? At the end of the day, isn't he just another Constellation you hate so much?]
The faintest hint of unrest briefly flickered on the attacking blade.
The Great Fable's Status emitted by Yu Jung-Hyeok wavered ever so slightly, but the 'Secretive Plotter' didn't miss that opening and took a stride forward.
[According to your creed, this fool should've died already. After all, there are no good Constellations in this world, are there?]
The Constellations. Beings that coveted the scenarios of
And the current Yu Jung-Hyeok's goal was to destroy all Constellations. However, he didn't kill Kim Dok-Ja after the latter had become one.
⸢But, why not?⸥
It was a question he couldn't readily answer. That was why, he also had been delaying facing it, too.
⸢Why did Yu Jung-Hyeok not kill Kim Dok-Ja?⸥
All those human connections surrounding Kim Dok-Ja briefly flitted in and out of Yu Jung-Hyeok's mind.
Shin Yu-Seung and Kim Dok-Ja; Yi Gil-Yeong and Kim Dok-Ja; Kim Dok-Ja fighting against other Constellations.
Kim Dok-Ja, who sacrificed his life for his comrades.
