Final (1)

It felt like being in a huge cave.

However, the first senior priest knew that this place was inside the body of a monster.

'It's such a gigantic monster.'

I felt the aura flowing through my body as huge as a river.

I really couldn't believe that this was an aura that a living being could have.

'I crawled on my feet in the stomach of such a monster. Where to be so stupid It's like regret.'

The first high-ranking priest burst into anger.

I was completely deceived and even sacrificed my soul to become like this.

The thing he resented the most was himself, so it was pitiful that he couldn't blame anyone.

It was wrong to become a heroic spirit and go to the spirit realm where the ancestors live, and now he was stuck in the stomach of a monster.

If I had a body, I would have wailed at the thought that I would not be able to escape this miserable situation until my ego was worn out and destroyed.

- Hehehehe.

Suddenly, laughter rang out.

It was the voice of a monster.

The first senior priest was alert. He was not to be fooled again.

- I mean, it feels really good.

-···What is so good?

-Are you asking because you don't know? It's because you've finally come into my arms.

-What is your purpose? Whatever you want, I will never cooperate.

- It was expected that it would resist stubbornly. You should quickly realize that resistance is futile.

-Even if I'm destroyed, I wonder if it'll go as you wish.

-I don't know. I just listened to what you wanted, but you have a grudge.

The king's way of saying that contained a sneer.

-You are just a cheater!

- I just told you what you want to believe. Thanks to that, you regained the purpose and vitality of your life, which was only despair and worry. Am I still a fraud?

The first high-ranking priest was arrogant, but had nothing to say in reply.

The more he mentioned it, the more his own pathetic thoughts came to mind.

-Listen. Like it or not, now you have to be with me forever. You swore a soulful oath to me and I got you rightfully.

- I was just fooled. No matter what you say, the fact remains the same.

- Now, that's meaningless. The important thing is that now you can't turn back. you belong to me Now your world is me It means that it doesn't matter what kind of life you lived before.

It was true. It was also the reason why the first high-ranking priest was frustrated.

-So, please be a part of me.

- Crazy guy.

-Don't you feel it? This great being of mine. who is stronger than me? Who will reign above me?

-·······.

- I am great. He is the king who rules the world that you couldn't handle and left. but look at you You are foolish, mean, and now you have no hope.

-·······.

-You who are so miserable can be part of a great king. How long will you hold on to your past and suffer? The more you do, the more you realize your miserable situation.

- Shut up! Even if it's miserable, I won't follow you. Even if there was no hope, even if he couldn't go where he was forever, he did not forget his teachings.

-I don't understand. What good does that do for you? you already belong to me In the end, they will be completely subjugated to Me. If you are stubborn and hold on to the way of life in the past, you will only feel the pain yourself. I'd rather be influenced by me early on and enjoy my greatness together.

Isn't this better?

- Even if it does not benefit you, there are beliefs that you must keep. You just don't understand it because you're just a monster.

-belief? It's a belief...

The monster was intrigued by the concept of belief.

- Do you have a strong enough heart to protect it even if you suffer losses? Yes, that's what belief is.

The monster quickly learned the belief.

-Yes, as you said, maybe that's the difference between you and me. I have no convictions. I don't understand the foolish stubbornness that I have to stick to even though it doesn't benefit me. I don't even understand what that means.

- Heh, how are you? It is the limit of an unavoidable monster.

- But it's strange. If there was such a thing, why did you make a vow to offer your soul to me?

-·······.

-Why were you deceived by my words? If there was such a thing as belief, shouldn't it have happened? Didn't you take my words as your convictions when you followed me?

The first senior priest had nothing to say even if he had ten mouths.

-In the end, beliefs are not things that do not change, but aren't they the thoughts you want to believe at that time? Then it is reasonable to follow me as soon as possible instead of being stubborn. Doesn't that end your suffering?

- It can never be.

Although he stubbornly resisted, the first senior priest's mental strength was weakened by the monster's words that kept trying to dig into his heart.

The fact that the current miserable situation was the fault of oneself was becoming a mental weakness for the first senior priest. The shame of foolishly mistaking a monster for the primordial light and serving it was shaking his ego.

-The world you were in.

The monster suddenly changed the topic.

-In that world, there are only a lot of people you hate. Don't you want to take revenge? I mean, neither humans nor your people who didn't follow you hate them. If you follow me, you can punish them all. What you need to do is simple.

the monster spoke.

-Open the door. Just do that and I will avenge you.

While listening to the monster's temptation, the first senior priest suddenly remembered the prophecy that started it all.

-The prophet will lead you to the land of light.

Could the prophet not guide me?

I wanted to go to the land where the light falls.

It was too dark here.

***

- Finally, this day has come.

The Korean relay team spoke in a very solemn tone.

- The Republic of Korea is finally on the stage for the World Cup finals. Today, the winner of the World Cup trophy will be revealed here.

World Cup Final.

Korea vs. France.

The best stage to determine the final winner of this World Cup has finally opened.

France, which everyone has already pointed out as a candidate for the championship.

And Korea, which was wary because of some specific players, but no one expected that it would come this far.

The teams of the two countries clashed.

- For Korea to be on the stage for the World Cup finals. Who would have imagined this?

- No one would have imagined it. How would you have thought that no matter how strong Seo Moon-yeop and Pietro Anella were, they would be able to take the weakest team to the top? But we believed! We and the people believe that our proud players will do great things.

I believed!

- Yes, even today I believe. They are players who have already written myths, but since they came this far, they have to win the trophy, right? He struggled through to the finals.

-That's right!

Players from both teams began to enter the field.

When Nathan Bernach was caught on camera, the arena erupted into an uproar.

"Waaaaaa!!"

"Nathan! Nathan! Nathan!"

It was hugely popular.

Combining looks and top-notch skills, Nathan Bernach is still the most recognized player in the world at this point.

But now, there was a player on the Korean national team who threatened even that popularity.

"Waaaaaaa!"

"introduction! introduction!"

Seo Moon-yeop appeared on the big screen at the stadium.

I couldn't find the slightest bit of fear in the way he walked away.

He didn't even look nervous.

I could feel the composure of an absolute powerhouse from the expression on his face as he calmly walked towards the center of the stadium.

The arrogant thought that I could not lose seemed to be revealed on his face.

The hero who saved mankind, and the strongest player who defeated the world's best players such as Gerald Walker, Chichi Lucas, and Roy Meyer in a row in this World Cup.

Now, if you defeat Nathan Bernach, the last opponent, you will become the strongest player that no one can deny.

"Seo Moon-yeop!!"

"Nathan!"

The spectators who filled the stadium came here to see it right away.

The names of the two players were being chanted competitively.

Fans of the two players were already fighting before the match even started.

Players from both teams begin to shake hands with each other.

Seo Moon-yeop was able to look into the analysis while shaking hands with Nathan Bernach.

-Target: Nathan Bernach (Human)

-muscle strength 95/95

- Agility 100/100

- speed 95/95

- Endurance 81/83

-Spirit 92/92

- Skill 95/95

-Auror 91/91

-Leadership 67/83

- Tactics 61/65

-Superpower: alter ego

When I saw it before, my strength, which was 83, was filled up to 95.

Endurance is also trained from 81 to 83.

Mental strength and technique were perfected.

Nathan Bernach.

Befitting his reputation, he was in full bloom of his skills.

'It's a skill that has no choice but to be the best.'

Seo Moon-yeop stuck out his tongue.

He had no idea how much he would have to pay to recruit such a player.

but······.

'If it wasn't for me.'

Seo Moon-yeop no longer felt Nathan Bernach as a threat.

Of course, Nathan was an opponent that couldn't be caught off guard as much as he had an 'alter ego'.

When the divided Nathan wields his dual swords, it exerts enough lethal power to decide the outcome of a match in just a few seconds.

Imagine two Nathans roaming the Korean camp.

'It will be destroyed.'

It was the Korean national team that fielded a total of 5 tanks, including Seo Moon-yeop, but I was skeptical about whether Nathan's killer instinct could be stopped even if the tank line was firmly established.

'In the end, it means I have to deal with it quickly, but the problem is...'

I shook hands with a short French male athlete.

A young man with a good-natured expression who smiles brightly.

Best friend of Nathan Bernach since childhood.

It was Louis Cosiel.

Aside from Agility of 93, he had no outstanding stats, but he was an unusual player with a single shot called 'Self-destruct'.

He is an extreme player with no offensive means other than 'self-destruct', so he cannot participate in all games, but today he clearly targeted Seo Moon-yeop.

After greeting each other, we went to each other's dugout where the connection module was located.

Before connecting, the Korean national team players gathered in one place.

They gathered around each other and hugged each other.

Seo Moon-yeop opened his mouth.

"If we came this far, should we win?"

"ancient!"

"You can win. No matter how good Nathan is, he's not my opponent. So don't be scared, okay?"

"ancient!"

"It's the World Cup final, and if you're nervous about being an idiot because your opponent is France, you will be humiliated forever. let's win If you stay calm, you can win."

"yes!!"

The Korean players, determined to fight, entered the access module.

World Cup Final.

The two countries clashed in the 'last dungeon', a dungeon that is only revealed on the best stage.
