77. Episode 77

“By the way, why did you make this place a sanctuary?”

“Do you know of a monster called Black Mirror?”

“no. I’ve heard of the white spectacle, but I’ve never heard of the black spectacle.”

trillion.

A monster in the shape of a whale, its size alone is large enough to swallow one or two ships lightly. He is called the tyrant of the sea who destroys everything but does not conquer.

“It was a monster like him. No, his savage spirit and size were more than those of the White Wyvern.”

“A monster like that was outside the tower?”

“The outside of the tower was a complete darkness. Outside of the management of the system, it was a hellish place where only the jungle flowed.”

“How did you catch that guy?”

“The Constellation directly dealt with him. Thanks to that, we were able to stay in the realm of the Black Mirror, and as a token of our gratitude, we made the body of the Black Mirror his sanctuary.”

“… … Did that happen?”

Leviathan.

Contrary to the fact that it is called a demon, it may be a kinder being than you think.

For the fishmen who were suffering from the queen of the deep sea, he killed the queen and was kicked out of the tower together, as well as personally hunting the black mirror and choosing a place to live.

“Shaks-sama, you’re back early!”

“The other fishmen don’t seem to be back yet, so is there a problem?”

“And that person… … .”

Upon arriving at the entrance of the sanctuary, two fishmen greeted the sharks, smashing the floor with their spears.

It seemed that only the minimum number of people to protect the sanctuary was left.

“He’s a guest who came to see the Constellation.”

“Stand, Constellation!”

“but… … Are you okay? You are human! Don’t Shax-sama know what the humans who entered the tower did?”

“Know. However, this is a choice for the Constellation. get out of the way.”

“… … All right.”

“If it’s Shakes-sama’s decision, there must be a reason.”

The two guards took a step to the left and right and moved away.

Sanctuary of Jealousy. In other words, when I entered the mouth of the dead black mirror, the light completely disappeared like a lie.

“The black mirror had the property of swallowing light. The same goes for dying. If you are anxious, just grab me and follow me.”

“are you okay.”

The night owl’s eyes were activated, and the extremely rare light inside the sanctuary focused on Seun’s eyes.

Perhaps because of the characteristics of the black spectacle Shax said, even that was very weak, but it was enough to show the faint outlines of the floor and walls.

“… … That’s amazing. It’s not enough that he was chosen by the two demon gods, and he manages the authority so well.”

“Can’t you use the authority too?”

“That said, the level I can handle is extremely weak. If I use it excessively, I will fall prey to the power of jealousy.”

“Well, it’s because it’s on a different level from the authority of the lower gods.”

The power possessed by the authority of the Constellation is enormous. Even if you are appointed as an apostle, it usually takes an incredibly long time to properly handle the authority.

Even that, the power of a higher level god is impossible to fully demonstrate as a player’s body.

Compared to that, how about Sewoon?

The power of greed and the power of gluttony. He was handling the two powers freely.

‘Well, this is for a slightly different reason.’

The power of greed that Sewoon uses was the power that lost its master who remained in the world before returning.

Thanks to that, I was able to make it completely my own.

And the power of gluttony… … .

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ wonders what it would taste like if he ate the bones of the Black Mirror.

… … In any case, it was only possible because Sewoon was treating Beelzebub well. Even that doesn’t handle the power 100% perfectly, though.

“Then, is the main body of Leviathan inside this?”

“no. He rests in the deepest part of the sea, for he is so huge that he encloses the entire ocean.”

“Is that enough? Still, if it’s a constellation, it shouldn’t be difficult to reduce the body size.”

“If you reduce the size, that alone requires constant energy consumption. Because he came out of the tower and lost a lot of power, he lies asleep in the deep sea in his true form.”

Leviathan. A constellation that is also known as the Devil of Jealousy and the Serpent of Destruction.

According to the literature, the size is so huge that it wraps around the outer periphery of the pagoda.

I thought it was a bit excessive, but according to Sharks’ expression, it seems that the contents written in the literature were rather underestimated.

“is it. So, where are you going now?”

“It is the heart of the Black Mirror. It is the only place where communication with him is permitted.”

“Are you going to visit me?”

“The deep sea where he lives is so deep that even us fishermen cannot stand it. The water pressure will crush you before you even see him.”

“… … Is that enough?”

Indeed, one of the seven great demons. Even though she was kicked out of the tower and lost most of her power, her status as a Constellation seems to have gone nowhere.

So I walked for a while while talking to Shax.

As they moved, even the subtle light disappeared, and the blurry outlines became even fainter.

As seen from the outside, the size of the inside of the Black Mirror was enormous.

Even the extremely faint outline disappeared, by the time I wondered how the Sharks were guiding the way.

“There it is.”

pounding, pounding-

Far away, in a dark place, I began to feel a faint vitality.

A ‘heartbeat’, a sound that should never be heard in this place, was heard, and the closer it got, the darker blue light flowed out.

“That… … .”

“Heart of the Black Mirror. It is the remnant of the Black Mirror that the Constellation saved.”

– The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ has twinkling eyes.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ swallows the fresh whale’s heart.

It wasn’t just a heart shape. A treasure enough to understand why Mamon covets it.

Since it contained the power of Leviathan, it could be called a holy object.

Even the bones of the black mirror that swallowed light couldn’t swallow as much as the blue light that flowed from the heart.

The moment it reached the front of the heart, the blue light filled the surroundings, giving the illusion that this place was somewhere other than the body of the Black Mirror.

pounding, pounding-

A heart the size of a human head.

Considering the size of the original black mirror, it was ridiculously small, but it seemed that it was reduced in size as it became a sacred object due to the power of Leviathan.

However, the power contained in it was not small at all. Rather, it seemed that even the original Black Mirror’s heart could not match the power of the current heart.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”

“… … That’s right.”

beautiful. It was just the right expression.

Originally, it was the timing for Mamon or Beelzebub to send a message asking them to dedicate the holy relic to them, but since they both knew that this was the sacred relic of Leviathan, they only coveted it and didn’t say anything hastily.

“What should I do now?”

“Just put your hand over your heart.”

pounding, pounding!

When I put my hand on my heart in accordance with the Sharks’ words, I felt the beat more clearly.

I just raised my hand, and it felt like my heart and hand were connected and something was flowing into my body.

“However, the light in my heart has decreased a lot lately, so I wonder if I can reach you… … .”

Shax continued to speak in anxiety, but Sewoon couldn’t hear any more of Shax’s words.

A blue aura coming from the heart. The energy was telling.

The demon of jealousy, the existence of Leviathan.

And not long after, a solemn voice began to be heard in Seun’s mind.

-You came through my authority. You are a very useful human being.

It is not heard through the ears. It feels like my voice has turned into something sharp and stabbed my temporal lobe.

“Kuh… … .”

An unbearable headache came over me.

A woman’s voice as sharp as a stabbing headache.

It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, but I could tell. That this is the voice of Leviathan, the demon of jealousy.

‘I have to endure.’

Even though it wasn’t facing the reality, it was just hearing the voice of a constellation that had lost its power, and yet it was such a blow.

It was a moment that made me realize the ‘difference in class’.

However, I couldn’t leave like this. In order to carry on with the future plan, enlisting Leviathan was a necessary step.

The moment Sewoon corrects his posture while thinking that way.

Whoa!

Dark brown light began to flow from the back of Seun’s right hand.

– The Satyr’s stigma (seal) responds to the god’s character.

– Some of the constellations sealed in the stigma awaken and resist external attacks.

-Ho?

Satyr’s stigmata.

Since most of his abilities were sealed, he thought he would have to climb at least to the middle level of the tower to draw out that power, but the stigmata seal woke up much earlier than expected.

As the blackish brown light from the stigma enveloped Seun’s body, the blue light that flowed from his heart weakened a little and the headache gradually subsided.

-Now, you’re only a player in the tutorial, but you have stigmata. Indeed, there must have been a reason why the crow and the pig were interested.

-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ frowned at the snake’s last words.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ asks where the pig is and drools, asking to share it with him.

Even though I could hear Leviathan’s voice over and over again, I didn’t get any more headaches. However, through the stigma, mana and internal air were quickly draining out.

The time it can endure like this is about ten minutes at most.

Within that, I had to finish the conversation with Leviathan.

“My name is Jeong Sewoon, the player in the tutorial.”

-You already know about me, so I don’t need an introduction.

“yes.”

-Then tell me, what is the reason you came to me, even going so far as to take on a reckless challenge?

No editorial was necessary.

Perhaps, Leviathan, like Sewoon, could not have had a long conversation like this.

According to Shax, as Leviathan was kicked out of the tower, he weakened as much as his strength weakened.

Even so, as the name of the constellation suggests, it is a strong enough existence to lightly kill the Black Mirror.

“I have come to request cooperation from the Demon God of Jealousy.”

– It’s cooperation. Does that mean you will become my apostle?

“Similar. In order to climb the tower, I want to obtain the power of the Demon God.”

– To say they’re similar, you’re being arrogant. Those two idiots seem to have given you powers without a proper contract, but I’m not that stupid.

-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ is glaring at the snake as if it would peck it at any moment.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ excuses himself, saying that he couldn’t help it because he was so good at cooking.

Indeed, this is the expected reaction.

Honestly, it’s a normal reaction. When we first met, it wasn’t even a contract as an apostle, but just asking for the power, because it was an absurdly bold proposal.

Perhaps, if it had not been for the two demons attached to Seun, he might have sneered lightly and raised his rank right away, destroying Seun’s spirit.

However, this was already expected.

“instead.”

Sewoon took something out of his subspace pocket and held it.

-that… … !

A gem of the deep sea. In other words, when I took out the Leviathan’s orb, I could feel the shaking in the Leviathan’s voice that was digging into my head.

“I will return the demon and the fishmen to the tower.”

“… … !”

As soon as he got the orb, the first suggestion that came to Seun’s mind.

At that suggestion, Shax’s face was stained with surprise.

I couldn’t see it, but judging from the fact that I couldn’t hear the answer, Leviathan seemed to have the same reaction.
