Chapter 145 - Three Norns (4) (2/2)

[I don’t knohy you’re so wary of me I promised I wouldn’t hurt you, and I don’t planto But you don’t try to hide your sword]

“Because I don’t knohat you’re thinking”

[Considering you’re a successor of the ancient dragon’s power, you’re quite careful Lizards are usually nothing without their pride I don’t kno you got such power]

“…”

The ancient dragon’s successor She was talking about Kalatus’s power that he got from his brother

Like a God that observed the past, Urd was able to see all the paths he had taken so far

So he ignored her gaze, and directly asked

“Why did you call for me?”

The trial of the 16th floor was very si a question to a priest, and they would deliver the Goddess’s words That was it

The difficulty ht be easy, but the response from the Goddesses could be iressed with the trial

However, no one had ever met with a Goddess themselves His brother had chosen Verdandi on the 16th floor, and he had i a feords

So Yeon-woo could only be suspicious of what Urd had couess you want to leave as soon as you can]

Yeon-woo didn’t reply

Urd continued in a cynical voice, like it didn’t matter

[Just because]

“Just…because?”

It was a completely unexpected answer Yeon-woo frowned under the hs became louder

[Yeah Just because As you can see, there’s almost no visitors here And the people here consider me worthless almost all the tiest’s temple when I was bored, so I was interested

“…”

[Even if we can’t move, a God is a God It’s not common to see a player dare to destroy a temple Even the felloho hate us don’t try to have us as their enemies But you kicked it away]

Yeon-woo shut his mouth

[So I wanted to see you once And I heard that you haven’t finished the trial of the 16th floor, so I aiting here thinking that you would come back Then I met you like this That’s it]

[The trial has been finished]

[You have succeeded inthe Goddess Urd You have achieved an acco rewarded]

[You have earned 5,000 Karma]

[You have earned 3,000 Kar combined with your total Karma]

[Will you put your naer at the unexpected

[I’ve seenabout their past They were all the same bunch]

People who couldn’t escape from the past And people who couldn’t live their present and future because they couldn’t leave their past

[There was one thing they wanted, not being able to escape the past To escape it They asked ain the future They wanted to somehow find their lives]

Life was a present that was created by layers of the past, and these presents combined to make the future

The present and the future justified life

In other words, life was hope

[But You’re different Very]

Yeon-woo thought Urd was sht he knehy Urd had called hirets And at the sa towards a deeper past In that, you endlessly repeat bla yourself At the end, there is no ‘you’ Just your dead brother]

“…”

[So I ask If you can do this To yourself Your brother closed his eyes sadly, but you can’t leave a happy life because of your guilt, so you continue to push yourself into despair And you make yourself suffer]

Veins popped out in his clenched fist

[And you suspect Your brother was betrayed by his trusted friends Then Can I do the same? Can I trust the people around me?]

“…”

[These people seeht he would live forever with them Betrayal can coht?]

Yeon-woo grit his teeth

[Suspect and suspect evenhis head ring

[Don’t trust, and don’t trust even more]

The darkness around Yeon-woo tided It all shi+fted and beat his emotions like they aves

It was the craziness of soht by their past

[Those with you can turn their backs anytioals They can cut your neck anytiet hurt Move before they move Chew them up, and rip them apart Then you won’t be hurt Then you won’t be in pain]

Yeon-woo brought his fire up as much as he could So he wouldn’t be swept away by the waves

Just by being open to them he felt like he would disappear

[You may want to ask Why you have to do that Isn’t that obvious]

But he also thought The craziness of Urd was somehow familiar

[Don’t say you don’t know Don’t avoid it]

Urd knew Yeon-woo’s mind inside and out And she picked out a place from his memory

Africa

[Isn’t that how you lived until now? The life you lived, it’s always been like that Even if the smell of blood and fire spread, even in that hell-like battlefield And this palace isn’t too different However, you’re only forcing it down]

An event fro a memory that he had hidden away

He wanted to push it away, but the video in front of his eyes didn’t stop

In that place, Yeon-as er and thirst Tiredness fro battle Bullets that pierced his sides His comrades, who had disappeared while he fainted He had to survive, and he slowly trudged by

With the anger of the comrades who left him behind

He trusted them until the end, but his hate towards those who betrayed his trust ain Then, he ain

That was probably when it waswithin Yeon-woo’s mind The monster that whispered to him like a demon

[So pull it out]

Yeon-oke up froht to tie him to his past

But then

He felt like he could see Urd herself past the darkness

She was definitely s her teeth

[The monster, that’s still inside]

With the same appearance of the damned bastard that was inside his heart
