Chapter 59
Crossing the Broken Bridge (5)
Who the hell is this kid…?
Thoughts surged violently through Yoo Joonghyuk's mind as his eyes remained fixed on Arthur without a single blink.
The future has changed too much.
First… that Dokja survived.
And now… this kid too.
Neither of them was mentioned in the previous regressions.
They were never supposed to be here.
So why are they still alive?
Yoo tightened his fist slowly.
And not only that… both of them are strange.
The first one—even with his apparent weakness—adapted to the collapse of the world with unnatural speed.
He hides many secrets, and he knows things he should not know.
On top of that… I couldn't see anything about him with the Sage's Eye.
Then his gaze shifted to Arthur.
As for the second…
In the beginning, no one was supposed to survive that carriage.
But two did.
And when I saw him a few minutes ago… he was weak, worthless.
But now…
His eyes widened slightly.
This power…
And this aura…
A tyrannical, suffocating aura of death, striking me directly.
An aura like that… is only born after millions of dead.
Yoo Joonghyuk ended his thoughts.
And in the very next moment—
his eyes shone with a brilliant golden light.
He decided to activate it.
Sage's Eye.
A legendary skill.
A skill capable of revealing everything about the target—
their name, history, skills, weakest points…
nothing could hide before it.
But Arthur… did not know what was happening.
He saw only that golden flash.
Is he trying to attack?
His anger flared even more.
Arthur gripped the Tyrant King's Sword and charged at Yoo Joonghyuk with all the speed he had—
at the exact same moment Sage's Eye was activated.
The aura of death around him did not recede.
It only grew denser, as though the air itself were choking.
Arthur rushed forward.
He was angry.
Angry because Yoo Joonghyuk had killed Kim Dokja.
And angry because he thought that bastard was trying to kill him now.
I know I'm no match for him in this body.
Even a fair fight? Impossible.
Maybe in my original body… but now? Forget it.
But it doesn't matter.
That bastard killed Dokja… and he's trying to kill me.
And there's no way out for me.
The bridge only accepts even numbers.
So… screw you.
Arthur attacked ferociously.
{The constellation Demon-Like Judge of Fire is cheering for you}
{The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband is watching you with surprise and excitement}
{The constellation Secretive Plotter pities your misery}
{The constellation Abyssal Black Flame Dragon laughs at your miserable situation}
{1,000 coins have been donated by the constellations}
"Let's give them a show they'll never forget… you bastard!"
Arthur shouted.
And Yoo Joonghyuk's body trembled violently.
He took one step back.
Then another.
Only a few seconds—
but they were fatal seconds.
Yoo Joonghyuk was still preoccupied with Sage's Eye.
He wanted to see everything about Arthur.
But he… had not expected what he saw.
A wall.
A great wall… solid… absolute.
Even stronger than the wall surrounding Kim Dokja.
That wall was not from this world.
It was Arthur's original system.
A system born in another world.
A system more advanced… older… harsher.
This world's system could do nothing before Sage's Eye.
But Arthur's system—
was the first defense.
And the last.
When Sage's Eye collided with that wall—
Yoo Joonghyuk received an electric shock even fiercer than the one he had suffered when trying to read Dokja.
And at that moment,
Arthur found the opportunity.
An opportunity that would not come again.
He smiled—
without understanding exactly what was happening.
But he felt it.
He swung his cursed sword with all his strength and lunged.
But—
even this opportunity was not enough.
Yoo Joonghyuk retreated at the last moment.
The sword passed.
It tore the shirt.
And it tore the chest.
A shallow wound.
Blood flowed quietly.
Yoo Joonghyuk raised his eyes toward Arthur—
surprised… and angry.
He gripped his sword.
And vanished.
In a single instant, he appeared before Arthur.
He swung his sword.
One strike.
A monstrous, overwhelming force.
Arthur could not even defend himself.
His body was sent flying.
A hundred steps backward.
He slammed into the rocky debris on the bridge and was crushed among it.
Silence fell.
Yoo Joonghyuk calmly returned his sword to its sheath.
He knew.
No one could endure a blow like that.
He looked at his chest—
the wound had already healed.
Then he looked at the rubble.
And the expression on his face changed slightly.
He was a dangerous person… truly strong.
The strongest person in the first scenario… after me.
I could have made great use of him…
If only he hadn't attacked me.
He let out a breath.
Then turned away.
He had used half his power in that strike.
And he knew his strength better than anyone else.
Yoo Joonghyuk was certain.
Arthur…
was dead.
