Chapter 356 Cha Jeong-woo (2)
Team: HH, Yahiko, thursdays (1/10)
The voice was vanishing as if it had never been there.
The guy was quietly watching everything like always.
Yeon-woo was a bit annoyed, but he continued to pull out the purple energy. He had said he wouldn’t touch him until Yeon-woo was ripe, so he was sure he’d be fine for now.
It wasn’t that hard to move the purple energy. After pulling it up, it was sucked to the Philosopher’s Stone like they were connected by glue.
He did wonder if he could use all of it properly because there was so much, but he didn’t stop.
The Philosopher’s Stone heated up.
It was a difficult task because it seemed like it was about to explode any second, but after enduring the horrible pain of his body burning, he succeeded in moving all the purple energy.
The Philosopher’s Stone trembled, as if it was still hungry.

He didn’t know where all of it had gone.
Gathering his Consciousness into one, he created a phantom form. It was easier this way to examine the Soulstone deeper.
And when he opened his eyes again…..
Yeon-woo could see countless letters in the Philosopher’s Stone.
To my brother, who’ll read this diary someday.
From the first sentence that he had heard so many times he nearly memorized it–
……Sorry. Because of me……
……A strange message was sent to my phone.……
……I lost my tie to reality after that……

……It occurred to me I might be able to get the elixir faster than I expected……
To the last sentence at the end of the diary.
The voices his brother had left behind were floating around as words.
‘The diary.’
Yeon-woo realized he was at the core of the Soulstone–the magical tool that made the diary work. The source of magic power was most definitely in here.
He observed each of the words carefully.
However, there were too many of them, like fish swimming around in an ocean. They came together to make new sentences or words he couldn’t decipher.
Yeon-woo moved through the letters.
The letters didn’t simply create words or sentences.

Sometimes, they took the shape of something.
Most of them were of Jeong-woo, as if they were trying to act out the scenes in the diary.
There were many images of Jeong-woo–Heaven Wing swinging his sword, spreading his wings, and looking down at the world.
Then, they all scattered and took another shape.
Yeon-woo looked at the multiple scenes soundlessly and was able to find a pattern to them.
Slowly treading through the flow, he reached the center.
The concentration of the letters was so deep that the white world was now black.
At the end, Yeon-woo found himself stopping in his tracks.
There was a person there.

A naked man whose head was gathered in his knees.
He couldn’t see how the man looked because his body was covered by his wings.
Thump.
Yeon-woo could feel his heart beat faster.
‘Could it be…..?’
The man didn’t lift his head from the clutter of letters that was wrapped around him. Was he in a deep sleep? He had probably felt Yeon-woo’s presence, but he didn’t budge.
Thump.
Thump.
Yeon-woo’s heart beat faster. Although he was only a phantom, he really felt like his heart was beating. His breathing turned rapid. He couldn’t think properly because his head was blank.

Only one word rang in his head.
Hyung.
The voice he heard when he left Persephone’s temple. Why was the only thing he could think of the voice that desperately called his name?
Yeon-woo quickly gathered his wits and ran toward where the man was in case he lost him.
……I found someone I love……
……Time continues to flow even now……
……Everyone was tired because of the long war……
Letters spun around the man. The sentences danced for Yeon-woo to come join him.
Each word, no, every syllable had his brother’s touch. They were traces of the lonely times he had. Happiness, regert, and sadness were gathered in the words.

……One by one, they left……
……My body felt heavier……
Yeon-woo climbed above the flood of letters. The letters collided against Yeon-woo’s body. Bruises and injuries appeared on his phantom body.
It hurt.
Too much.
……I miss you……
Yeon-woo wanted to shout that he was here. But there was no way to express himself in a world that he couldn’t speak. He felt frustrated.
He tried to reach him as fast as he could.
But the flood of the letters were so strong that he couldn’t fight against it anymore. With just a single misstep, he would be swept away.

……Only I was left in Arthia……
Still, he treaded forward, to get closer to him.
……Where did it start to go wrong……
He finally reached him.
……No one was on my side……
Pant.
Pant.
Yeon-woo gasped for breath. The man was close to him. Close enough to touch. But the shape that was spewing letters was stopping him from getting closer.
He thought of how to get rid of it, but it was hard enough not getting swept away by it.

What could he do?
There had to be some way.
‘If not….. then with brute strength!’
Yeon-woo clenched his teeth.
[3rd Step Dragon Body Awakening]
[All Authorities Released]
He pulled all 900 of the Channelings he had to him. Countless gazes stuck on him.
The purple energy pulled from the Soulstone moved according to his will for the first time.
Hwaak-

His wings of fire spread apart. He felt fuller than after Astraeus. Now, he was confident he could fight against most Nine Kings.
Kwang!
With such power, he ran at full strength.
But the shape didn’t break. Rather, more letters covered him and tried to push him away.
Krrrr!
Still, Yeon-woo didn’t stop. He threw his body forward with the resolve to fight back as much as it pushed him away.
The Philosopher’s Stone and his magic circuit spun like crazy. His Consciousness became firmer and his senses more detailed. His flashing Fiery Golden Eyes looked for any weaknesses.
But the shape still didn’t budge.
There weren’t any cracks in it either.

Only words that were broken into syllables. But even those were created into new sentences after being thrashed around by the waves.
‘This isn’t enough.’
Brontes had said he was the key. The only key that fit in the keyhole and could open the lock.
So when he had unlocked the seal to enter the Soulstone, he thought that was it.
However, there was another lock.
All the letters.
The diary was a lock.
