Chapter 66: Mookrang
The single strike swung by the giant demon was right in front of my head.
But even though it came right up to me, it never quite touched my head.
It seemed to have stopped right there.
That wasn’t all.
Not only the giant demon before me, but even the dirt that had been flung into the air remained suspended there, refusing to fall to the ground.
My hair, blown back by the wind pressure from the giant demon’s swinging hand, was no exception.
Though I couldn’t turn my eyes to look elsewhere, I understood fully.
That everything in this world, including me, had frozen in place.
I thought blankly.
‘What kind of magic is this?’
Amidst everything in the world coming to a standstill, only my consciousness continued to think clearly.
It felt like being bewitched by a goblin.
Then, the voice I had thought was just an illusion earlier sounded again.
– Nice to meet you, Master Seonwoo. This is the second time I’m speaking to you, though I doubt you remember the first.
It was the voice of a middle-aged man who sounded remarkably cheerful.
And I recalled having heard this voice somewhere before.
‘Could it be… the day I saved Lady Tang?’
– Oh, you remember. That’s right. I spoke to you briefly then.
That was real?
I thought it was just a dream back then?
No, come to think of it, this feels like a dream too.
In my confused state, I asked him.
‘Wh-who are you? And what exactly is this…?’
Then a cheerful, laughing voice answered.
