That was an old promise.
⸢”I'll finish your story for you.”⸥
I couldn't keep that promise during the 1863rd turn.
[Your ■■ has begun shaking unsteadily!]
I pushed myself up while gripping the [Unbreakable Faith] tightly. The hilt of the sword that accompanied me from beginning till now through almost all the scenarios, could be felt in my hand.
The tip of the sword touched the ground and sentences began rising up. Sentences that I had never seen before.
⸢He was more curious about the end of this world than anyone, and…⸥
⸢And more than anyone else, he wished for this world not to end.⸥
My last Fable had begun.
“….Kim Dok-Ja?”
I removed Han Su-Yeong's hands covering my ears.
Her eyes were trembling. My reddened appearance was reflected in her irises. A lengthy wound was running across my cheek; wings were torn, and the Demon King's horn was broken. I was truly in a mess.
And Han Su-Yeong believed in such a mess of a man until now and came this far.
[Have you made up your mind?]
The Dokkaebi King in the centre of all the exploding sparks asked me.
The beings from the 999th turn, the 'Outer God Kings', were doing whatever they could to fight back. The battle so far had been evenly matched, but judging from the direction of the storm of the Probability's aftermath blowing in, it should be the 999th side falling into a disadvantage in the end.
“That's right.” I replied to the Dokkaebi King. “I shall cross the 'Final Wall.' And then, meet the one behind it.”
The culprit of all these tragedies, the 'Most Ancient Dream'.
“I'll meet that guy, and stop all of this world's tragedies.”
The 'Dokkaebi King' grinned as if he was satisfied with my decision.
[Indeed. Very good. That's eminently possible when you become my successor. Now, come this way. Hurry, and inherit the
“I never said I'll take you up on your offer.”
I activated [Way of the Wind] and the [Lightning Transformation] at the same time.
This world's fastest movement technique was soon enveloped by the pure-white electrical energy, transforming my body into a single streak of light beam. With the fastest speed I could ever produce, I shot past both the Dokkaebi King and the Outer Gods.
The destination I chose was the deepest part of the [Final Wall].
[You….!!]
I heard the stunned voice of the Dokkaebi King. I also saw the sentences dashing across above the [Final Wall] in the distance.
⸢The place where the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon's last scale, and Uriel's last feather, had fallen.⸥
I roared out in panic and dashed towards that very sentence.
⸢The place where Persephone's last teardrop had fallen.⸥
I needed to stop those sentences from finishing. Even if I saw the end of this world, I must never let those words come to an end.
Perhaps he had realised my intentions, the Dokkaebi King was shouting out in sheer astonishment.
[No, stop! You are not a permitted being yet! You can't even touch that Wall, let alone cross it!]
Tsu-chuchuchut!
The moment he was finished, the storm of the Probability's aftermath suppressed my entire body. The sparks exploded with enough force to utterly crush my Incarnation Body right down its atoms, and for a moment there, the inside of my head blanked out from the pain.
[The 'Stage Transformation' is activating!]
