Chapter 401: 401

[Members from the same camp have clashed!]

[Current Chaos Points: 85]

We were left completely dazed at the same time after looking at those system messages .

” . . . . Just who is it?”

Han Su-Yeong threw out that question after somehow squeezing it out of her lips . No one could answer her, however .

She asked again . “It can’t be the kids going around causing accidents, right?”

I retorted back . “You think they are like you?”

Even if they were still just kids, they wouldn’t do something so rash with our situation being what it was .

Sure, I was slightly worried about Gil-Yeong, but… .

I looked at Anna Croft and addressed her . “Anna . “

“I’m still searching . “

Although the page of the future had been ripped away, the events leading up to its disappearance should still remain . Just like how a defective book would still need some time before it got destroyed .

“We can’t leisurely wait any longer . “

The first one to fly out of the room was Yu Jung-Hyeok .

Anna Croft’s forehead was soaked in sweatdrops as she endeavoured to find the pages of the future . In the end, both Han Su-Yeong and I decided to move, as well .

“Anna, once you find something, let me know through voice projection . “

We left her behind and flew out of the cabin . Our companions had gathered on the deck after sensing that something was wrong .

“Dok-Ja-ssi, what’s going on?”

I conveyed the situation in the simplest terms possible when Jeong Hui-Won asked me . “Some people are attacking their own camp . “

“Ehng? Why do something like that?” said Yi Ji-Hye, while frowning to show that she couldn’t understand it . “I thought everyone would die if those Chaos Points went up any higher? Isn’t that why Angels and Demon Kings went inside that thing . . . . ?”

“Can they be people with similar goals as our own?”

“If that was the case, then they wouldn’t have increased the Chaos Points at this point in time . “

I didn’t need to explain in detail, but my companions seemed to have arrived on their own answers .

“In that case, could it be . . . ?”

I nodded my head . “No matter what happens, we must stop them . If we don’t, something really horrifying will occur . “

“What kinda crazy bastards would… . But, why??”

Why would anyone try to speed up the destruction of the world?

I found it hard to provide a proper answer to that . However, there was this one thing in the that worked as the universal answer to every single indecipherable situation imaginable .

” . . . . . There are truly a vast array of ‘Fables’ in this world, you know . “

It wasn’t only ‘Good and Evil’ that existed in this world . Just like that was neither good nor evil existed, there were people in this world chasing after those Fables we simply couldn’t relate to .

Some would live to prevent the end times, but some would only live for the apocalypse .

Tsu-chuchuchuchu . . . . !

Probability was shifting unstably in the air; sparks erupted in several places on the battlefield .

Yu Jung-Hyeok standing on top of the figurehead seemed to have latched onto the location of the biggest arcs of sparks .

“There are five in total . Scatter, now . “

He finished giving orders, and his figure disappeared towards the north .

I quickly gave instructions to my companions . “Han Su-Yeong, you take the east . Yu-Seung-ee, Ji-Hye, and Gil-Yeong-ee, you guys take the south, please . Hui-Won-ssi, please remain on the battleship, since we don’t know what might happen . “

“What about you, Dok-Ja-ssi?”

“I’ll head west . “

Sparks were exploding in all directions . One by the north, one by the east, one by the west, and two by the south .

“We don’t know yet which camp started raising chaos . If it’s done by the members of the same camp as you, don’t fight them and call for other companions . “

The situation had flipped on its head now .

If we had increased the Chaos Points by fighting ‘Good’ with ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ with ‘Evil’, then we needed to fight ‘Good’ with ‘Evil’ and vice versa . Only by sticking to the original rule of the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ could we prevent the increase in the Chaos Points .

“Damn it, I’m really annoyed that our situation has changed so suddenly like this . I get why the Constellations were so pissed off earlier . “

“We’re going ahead!”

Yi Ji-Hye and the kids departed first, and right afterwards, Han Su-Yeong and I also made our move .

Her figure, as she dashed forward while scattering black flames about, was filled with wounds, both large and small .

I spoke to her . “Be careful . “

She scowled ever so slightly and flew towards the east .

This punk, I was only worried about her, but even then… .

– You be careful, instead . Idiot .

The [Midday Tryst] arriving a beat later made me feel a bit strange . Was I overthinking it when I found both Yu Jung-Hyeok and Han Su-Yeong had changed a lot?

[Chaos Points are increasing!]

[Current Chaos Points: 86]

I activated [Way of the Wind] and dashed across the air .

As I was in the middle of [Demon King Transformation], the skill’s accelerative force had become truly astonishing . I crossed the sky in an instant and arrived at the origin of the sparks . I began to closely scan the vicinity .

… . In hiding, was it?

Corpses of Reincarnators were strewn about on the battlefield . And there were a handful of terrified survivors that had fallen on their butts, looking at all the dead bodies .

Without a doubt, someone went on to massacre the people from the same side here .

[Exclusive skill, ‘Reading Comprehension’, is activating!]

[Attribute, ‘Scenario Interpreter’, is activating!]

[Your insight that analyses the situation by collecting circumstantial evidence of the incident has increased!]

I quickly read the fragments of Fables scattered about . I was right about a massacre taking place here . However, I couldn’t spot any traces of the culprit running away .

“S-save us, Demon King-nim!”

Six remaining Reincarnators knelt down and began prostrating before me . I carefully observed them; most of the six were wounded gravely, blood and Fables continuously pouring out from their bodies .

Except for this one guy, whose Fable happened to be exceptionally stable .

“You . “

The eyes of the man slowly raising his head up were filled with a certain evil leer . I spoke while meeting those eyes straight-on . “You, are you a ‘Seeker of the End’?”

At that moment, the man desperately lunged at me . But I was already ready for him and easily evaded his attack, before grabbing his neck .

“Keok, keo-heok . . . . !”

[Exclusive skill, ‘Character List’, is activating!]

As I thought, he was the culprit I was searching for – a Demon King’s subordinate . There was no real need to peer deeply into his Attribute Window anymore .

“You’ve begun your actions already? But, it shouldn’t be the right time yet?”

The man with his neck grabbed by me formed a disgusting grin .

“T-the great apocalypse will soon come . All scenarios are already set in stone . The noble and absolute Fable will come to reality!”

I recoiled just a little bit after looking at his eyes glaring like a religious fanatic .

Right, most of the ‘Seekers of the End’ were like this guy back in the original story, weren’t they .

They believed that there was only one ‘Absolute Fable’ that supported this world, and that every scenario was merely the will of that Fable coming to fruition .

⸢Ke kekeke . ⸥

I heard [the 4th Wall]’s mocking cackle resound in my head .

Without a doubt, these ‘Seekers of the End’ had no idea that the Fable they thought they knew was actually a novel that I had read already .

⸢It’s tr ue that a ll are des tined to be des troy ed . ⸥

‘There’s no such thing as destiny . ‘

I recalled the countless regression turns Yu Jung-Hyeok had lived . The ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ repeated for hundreds of times, and their conclusions were largely the same .

However, that was only during the ‘original story’ .

“Speak . How many of you have infiltrated this ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’?”

Geu-reuk, geu-reuruek . . . .

Foams bubbled up on the man’s mouth .

“Do you wish to free the Apocalypse Dragon? You do that, and everything will come to an end . Rather than reaching the end of the Fable you’ve been chasing after, the Fable itself will be over, instead . “

The man didn’t reply and simply cackled on .

I sighed out . “Looks like you don’t want to answer . “

[Demon King, ‘Demon King of Salvation’, has unleashed his Status!]

The Reincarnators around us screamed at the ripples of the Status and quickly backed away . The man who received the brunt of my Status head-on shuddered greatly, before blood oozed out from all seven of his orifices .

I spoke without opening my lips . [Recite the list of your friends that are participating in this battle . ]

Even under the threat of the imposing Status, the man didn’t fall into the clutches of fear . No, it was quite the opposite, actually .

“De, mon King, of, Sal, vation . . . . “

He began forming an expression of sheer rapturous ecstasy . As blood continued to leak out of his lips, he began speaking in a voice of someone being saved .

“Kill me! Hurry!! Please kill meeee!”

I couldn’t figure out what the hell was wrong with this guy’s head . In any case, I couldn’t waste any more time here . If I couldn’t extract the list from this guy, then I’d have to personally search around .

I was about to smash the man’s head in without hesitation, but then, a message suddenly floated up .

[Members from the same camp have . . . . ]

[Current Chaos Points: 87]

Damn it, I forgot that he was also ‘Evil’ .

Just as I let go of his neck, the Fable leaking out of his seven orifices suddenly increased in volume and his body began rapidly expanding . And then, he began smiling in a bizarre manner .

… . Self-detonation sequence, was it?

It was too late to dodge .

But then, right afterwards, a streak of light flew in from somewhere and penetrated the man’s body in a straight line .

Kwa-jijijijik!

It was a spear made out of light so bright that it must’ve come from the sun itself .

Inside this bright ray of light, the ‘Seeker of the End’ shuddered as if he was being electrocuted . The explosive power expanding outwardly was now being absorbed into the spear of light .

He lost all signs of vitality in an instant, and died after turning into jet-black ash .

I studied the Fable of light being scattered all around me .

… . Wait, didn’t I know that Fable already?

[You’ve forgotten to call for me on such a grand celebration . I’m disappointed, oh, Demon King of Salvation . ]

The moment I heard that true voice, I figured out who it was .

“Surya!”

It was the ‘Supreme God of Light’ Surya .

He used to be a Constellation of once upon a time, but after the Olympus battle, ended up sharing a ‘Great Fable’ with us, instead .

[You’ve achieved an amazing level of Status since the last time I saw you . I heard that you have defeated Indra . ]

“I simply got lucky . “

[True, the absent-minded Indra might come across as a neighbourhood dummy sometimes, but still, he’s not someone you can defeat by relying on luck . ]

Perhaps because he had left , Surya didn’t seem all that perturbed while talking about Indra’s fate . He scanned the fragments of the ‘Seeker of the End’ he ended just now, and spoke .

[I was wondering why the Great Fable’s state felt off, but now I see that ‘Seekers of the End’ have shown up in this place . ]

“Were you aware of them?”

[These bastards had infiltrated once before . ]

… . Even ?

Now that I thought about it, I heard somewhere that there was an internal conflict taking place in Vedas before . Maybe the ‘Seekers of the End’ were responsible for that?

Tsu-chut, tsu-chuchut!

Sparks dancing around in all corners of the battlefield began subsiding at a visible pace . It was likely that my companions had successfully managed to suppress the situation .

” . . . . It seems that it’s been taken care of, more or less . Maybe, there weren’t that many who managed to infiltrate this battlefield in the first place . “

Even though the ‘Seekers of the End’ had made their entrance, this was a rather tame conclusion .

But, then . . .

[Members from the same camp have clashed!]

[Current Chaos Points: 88]

… . What??

I hurriedly scanned the battlefield, but couldn’t see a single spark exploding anywhere . Forget about the same camp this and that, there was no battle taking place at all .

[Members from the same camp have clashed!]

[Current Chaos Points: 89]

Even then, the Chaos Points continued to climb higher . A chilling sensation crept down my spine .

Hang on, could this be . . . . ?

[It’s not on the surface . ]

I heard Surya’s words and reflexively looked up into the sky .

More correctly, at the grey-coloured sphere floating up there . Archangels and Demon Kings should be having a conference within it, yet it was rocking viciously to and fro while an incredible amount of sparks exploded from it .

… . A ‘Seeker of the End’ was in there, too?

[Members from the same camp have clashed!]

[Current Chaos Points: 90]

The Chaos Points would climb only when those in the same side fought against each other . But, if such a thing was happening inside that sphere… .

[Atmosphere of the great battlefield is beginning to change!]

Clouds gathered in the sky began spinning into a massive whirlpool .

[Aura of Calamity at the hottest place in Hell is opening its eyes!]

… . God damn it .

Ku-gugugugu!!

Even Surya’s expression had hardened noticeably .

[It seems that I’ve come seeking my own grave today . ]

Right then, a message I really didn’t want to see floated up .

[Chaos Points have exceeded 90!]

[Great Fable of Apocalypse is beginning to stir . ]

[Great Fable, ‘Final Dragon of the Book of Revelation’, is getting ready to tell its story!]

An earthquake erupted throughout the entire great battlefield .

The indescribable despair I felt during the 95th scenario was reviving again .

Fin .
