◈ Episode 539 In Depth (2)
There was no one around.
Ludger had come to a remote place alone.
Ludger recalled the last situation before falling into the sandy mire.
Just before Nirva plunged everyone into the quagmire, Ludger activated the [Rip Van Winkle] he was wearing.
Since Nirva’s purpose was to move the location, it was at least an instinctive response that he was going to send it to the depths.
Activating [Rip Van Winkle], the dream energy created a protective shield and surrounded the group as if protecting them.
However, Ludger himself did not have enough time to unfold it completely, and as a result, they became separated from each other in the mire.
‘But since I used Siesta, it shouldn’t be dangerous.’
It was fortunate that Zantman was with us.
Rather, now is the time to worry about your own situation.
‘I didn’t know it would come this way.’
I thought that even if I came, I would go through the process step by step and be mentally prepared at the end.
But it wasn’t easy for Nirva either.
He didn’t sit on his throne and wait for someone to come find him.
Maybe it was because he was a butler and not a landlord, but he walked around more diligently than anyone else and tried to eliminate things that could pose a threat.
It is diligence that is not devilish.
‘no. Rather, if you look at the Zero Order, is that closer to their essence?’
Ludger slowly looked back, thinking this to himself.
“Isn’t it wonderful?”
Nirva was standing there so naturally, I don’t know since when.
Ludger did not answer. He wasn’t surprised or anything.
He had already sensed that the guy was trying to bring him aside.
And the fact that Nirva will contact you right away.
Nirva is cunning.
Of the hundreds of thousands of people who entered Dreamland, he knew very well who was the biggest obstacle to his plans.
“This scenery has been around since time immemorial.”
Nirva leaned back and gazed at the vast landscape in the distance.
Ludger walked slowly and stood next to Nirva, staring at the same scene.
It’s a familiar sight.
But it was also an unfamiliar sight.
I’ve seen something similar to this twice, and this is my third time seeing it.
The endlessly changing, mixed world just felt new.
Nevertheless, one thing cannot be denied.
Clearly, this scenery is beautiful.
It is almost untouched by mankind, and at the same time, it cannot be realized by the general laws of nature and physics.
Dreams, fantasies, ideals, unconsciousness. The world created by mixing all those things was complex yet simple.
“This place will be our paradise.”
“It must be your paradise.”
“That’s very rude.”
“So, are you planning to pass judgment on behalf of the goddess?”
“The goddess is someone who will kindly embrace even disobedient children.”
Ludger recalled a lump stuck on an obelisk-shaped stake.
“… … “Goddess of dreams.”
“Do you know? No, you can’t know. That’s because you have a similar smell.”
Nirva smiled happily.
He couldn’t understand why he didn’t know about this until now.
“It was only when I brought you to the depths of the goddess’ reach that I finally realized. “You too have the power of God.”
“A strong force that cannot be controlled is nothing more than a curse.”
“Even if you can’t control it, it’s a blessing. The power itself is very pure. Even if the person who won it was not the same apostle but a human being. “I respect that.”
Nirva looked back at Ludger.
“I will make one last suggestion. Hold hands with me. And together, let us overthrow Lumensis. “Isn’t that what the God whispering to you is hoping for?”
Nirva read the divine power surrounding Ludger.
That power was familiar.
In the past, when her master, the Goddess of Dreams, was stripped of her sovereignty by Lumensis and sealed away.
Other gods also met similar or more terrible ends.
At that time, we didn’t have any contact with each other and we just got along like cows and chickens, but now the world has changed.
An era where Lumensis reigns as the sole god.
We needed to join forces to put an end to it.
“You probably don’t know my bloodline.”
“I know that too. Your fitness. “This must have been planned by Lumensis.”
Ludger remained silent, and Nirva’s explanation continued.
“Lumensis not only turned this world into its own fishbowl or birdcage, but also used its limbs to manipulate the world as it pleases. But that endless desire didn’t stop there. “I knew it right away when I saw you.”
Ludger struck the player because he felt that if he let the conversation continue, more words would come out.
“So, what is the purpose?”
“Didn’t I tell you? The fall of Lumensis. “Same as you.”
Nirva burst out laughing.
“How fun would it be to not only lose the sword you sharpened, but to experience a situation where someone is targeting your leash? So this is a favor. The god you serve, and the goddess I serve. “We hold each other’s hands and rise together.”

“In this vain dream world?”
“Do you know who the goddess I serve is?”
No way.
The fact that God was sleeping here in the first place was something I first realized that day in Clara Cowen’s room.
There was no way to find out what kind of god it was.
“In the past, humans called this noble name with reverence. “It’s called [Noksanna].”
Noksanna, the goddess of dreams.
Shepherd of sleepyheads.
And the ruler of night and death.
A goddess who has existed since ancient times, and was sealed in Dreamland without dying even though Lumensis usurped her sovereignty.
“In the old days, falling asleep was the same as dying. To the Goddess of Dreams, death was no different from a dream. So even though the Lumen Sith sealed the goddess, he was unable to completely kill her. “For he did not deserve death on the one who had it.”
“It sounds like that death is now waking up.”
“Do you think it’s ominous? “It’s just that the flow of the wrong world is returning to normal.”
“By sacrificing hundreds of thousands of lives.”
Nirva shook her head sadly.
“Don’t do that. If you think about the future, it’s only a few hundred thousand. We need to think about a bigger future. A future that will save thousands and hundreds of millions.”
Ludger also looked back at Nirva.
His sharp eyes were full of murder and hostility.
“This is the answer I came up with after thinking about it too.”
“That’s really unfortunate. “You refuse even the ultimatum.”
“Is it really sad?”
Ludger sneered at Nirva.
“Anyone can see that they were hoping that I would answer like this. “Why don’t you just erase the blatant smile on your face and start talking.”
“haha. Oh my, is it obvious? Actually, I didn’t like it very much from the beginning. Collaborating with another god? “That shouldn’t happen.”
A golden glow burned like a flame in Nirva’s eyes.
“This world belongs only to Goddess Noksanna. “How dare you suffer the consequences of other fallen gods?”
“I like it because it’s explicit.”
Ludger could tell Nirva’s twisted personality from the fact that she tried to float even though she had no heart.
It was then that Ludger waved his hand.
The distance between the two is within reach if you just stretch out your arms.
And within that distance, the blade of the sword stick that Ludger wielded was truly like a flash sword.
───!
A flash of light that flashes in an instant.
The point of the sword was aimed at Nirva’s neck.
But Nirva did not loosen his hold on his back.
Instead, the already prepared dream sand moved on its own and quickly grabbed the blade of Ludger’s sword stick.
The dream sand easily blocked the library keeper’s countless bombardments.
There was no way to destroy this strong shield just by swinging a sword stick.
If only that were reality.
Black energy swaying at the tip of the sword.
Ludger’s dream wrapped around the sword stick, drawing one clear image.
It was a future in which Nirva’s head would be cut off.
The dream reacted, tearing apart the golden sand and cutting off Nirva’s neck as well.
“It’s sharp.”
Nirva muttered with her severed head.
This is the second time.
His body crumbled into sand and regenerated elsewhere.
“okay. “I guess they were also suppressing their power in the library.”
“Because there are people to get involved with.”
“But there’s no one like that here.”
“There are no eyes to see.”
“is it.”
Nirva spread her arms wide.
“It was definitely the right decision to get rid of you first.”
Nirva felt very uncomfortable that Ludger had been in his sights for a long time.
He was curious as to why a mere human got on his nerves.
It was a combination of what Zero Order said and the extraordinary ability shown by Ludger, reaching a level of alertness.
And now.
Nirva realized.
What exactly is the blade that Zero Order has prepared?
You cunning bastard. I never thought he would hold such a sharp blade.
‘Then he gave me an explicit warning. Did you want me to let down my guard? No, it wasn’t hidden to the point where it was strange.’
That means there is something else besides Ludger.
I don’t know what it is right now, but it was right to first remove the most dangerous dagger in front of me.
“I’ve never shown you my full power, have I?”
“Me too.”
A blue glow burst from Ludger’s eyes.
This is Dreamland. A space where imagination becomes reality.
There are no eyes around you, or even something to worry about getting caught up in.
This entire place allowed Ludger to release most of the restrictions he had been suppressing until now.
Of course, the final restrictions must be adhered to, but other than that.
Ludger was saying that he could run wild here as much as he wanted.
“You’ll regret bringing me here.”
It’s like taking off the muzzle of a hungry tiger.
As if to prove it, a magic trick like a constellation in the night sky unfolded behind Ludger’s back.
The complex and three-dimensional shape was realized through magic in an instant.
Dark clouds formed in the sky of mixed colors.
The center of the dark cloud rotated like a whirlpool, slowly revealing something huge.
It was a huge treasured sword that glowed softly in white.
It appeared through the dark clouds, aimed its sharp sword tip at the top of Nirva’s head, and fell like a meteorite.
A magic created from Ludger’s imagination, different from the existing 6th tier magic.
[White Ok Tae Heo Sword]
Nirva did not lose and accepted it.
The stratum wriggled and the ground suddenly rose.
All the huge pieces of dirt that made up the floor turned into dream sand.
What was created to counter the sword was another sword.
[Mungyu Saam Sword (夢遊砂巖劍)]
The huge sand sword made of dream sand collided with the white jade sword.
The collision of the two swords did not produce a typical physical impact.
Instead, a translucent sound was presented to the depths of Dreamland.
Tooung───!!!
As if a drop of water fell on a calm surface of water, the space trembled and waves spread out in concentric circles.
As the translucent waves swept through, the trees were pulverized into powder, and the ground was cracked like a rice field in a drought.
Even in the midst of the disaster-causing waves, the two forces did not lose an inch.
At least it seemed that way for now.
But Ludger’s attacks did not stop there.
The sky was still full of dark clouds, and gradually the hidden parts of the White Jade Sword began to be revealed.
“hmm?”
Nirva looked.
A huge hand holding the handle of a shining sword.
“hand? What on earth is that… … .”
It wasn’t the end simply dropping the sword.
no.
In the first place, the sword was just a part of it.
The main body appeared through the dark clouds along with the hand holding the sword.
A terrifying face that would make even evil spirits tremble in fear.
The bright red flames surrounding his body were not ordinary flames.
A special flame that burns all evil and evil things.
It was the flame of Garuda.
A mythical being.
Among them, it is a miracle that perfectly embodies through imagery the power of perm to destroy evil.
What was simply shown when dealing with the island swallower was implemented at maximum output.
[Floating Diamond King (Acalanātha)]
Achalatana distorted his face even more grimly and tightened his grip on the sword.
Garuda’s red flames swirled like a whirlpool along the white jade-like blade and engulfed the dream sand sword.
As the flame passed over the blade made of sand, it melted and turned into glass.
The glass could not withstand the power of the white jade sword and shattered into pieces.
Nirva, seeing this, could not help but realize for the first time.
Perhaps, bringing Ludger into the depths was a big mistake.
