Chapter 302
Immediately after hitting Beck’s polished crown with all his might with the Demon Grinder.
Fish Woowook-!
The skull and scalp burst at the same time, and blood fountains spurted out from all the orifices.
successful raid.
However, as befits those who have gone through all sorts of hardships, the response was quick even though the leader’s head was broken.
Tadat.
The archer stepped back and opened the distance.
“You crazy bastard!”
The proximity flow quickly approached and blocked my left and right sides in perfect order.
Not some kind of cockroach.
Whoa-!
[Giant] and hit the shield warrior in the front with a hammer.
Surprisingly, he didn’t dodge.
Just follow the trail of the hammer, raise your shield and shout like this.
“Poke it!”
Yes, I will stop it, so stab my side, right?
Taking a peek, the color of the shield was quite good.
‘It’s adamantium.’
Apparently, they believe in expensive shields…
There are better items out there in the world.
‘Aggression.’
An explosion sounded as the shield and hammer collided.
Aaaaaang-!
His shield was slightly distorted, but intact.
But…
Kwajik-!
The one holding the shield spurted blood out of every hole like a canned drink stabbed by an awl.
That’s because I didn’t use [Swing] before.
The effect of the double number item could not be seen either.
When using blunt skills, increases damage by 500% and reduces soul power consumption by half.
And a 50% bonus to armor penetration on slams.
Took.
He collapsed to the floor with his eyes protruding excessively from the pressure.
So now it’s your next turn.
Swoop.
As I moved my gaze towards the third target, he backed away.
When I glanced at it, the archer behind me did the same.
Are you trying to run away?
If so, that’s a little funny.
I have no intention of sending this one.
‘transcendence.’
I quickly recite the command.
‘The eye of the storm.’
An active skill obtained from Stormgash.
coo-!
As soon as I hit the ground with my foot, a whirlpool began to swirl.
It was different from what Stormgus was used to.
It was the effect of [Transcendence].
Woo woo woo woo-!
[Eye of the Storm] no longer pulls enemies within a 5m radius.
instead.
A designated target within a radius of 20m.
I pull only one person and bring him in front of me.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Just like this.
Kwajik-!
So, this is the third.
However, I wasn’t satisfied and checked the archer who ran away from the last target.
If it was too far away, I was thinking of following through [Leap].
But…
Fuuk.
Amelia has already approached the archer and finished it off.
She was a very reasonable woman.
Like it or not, he must have decided that since an accident had occurred, it would be best to kill them all and silence them.
“Ah uh, buy it…”
Poo-!
Amelia stunned the back of the neck by slapping the little Gencia next to the archer before approaching me.
and said briefly.
“It was foolish.”
“Because he’s from the lord’s side?”
“No, because of you, I have to kill this kid now.”
……Is that how it works?
But was he really alive at the time?
“Even if it wasn’t today, there were plenty of opportunities to kill him.
“……you?”
“Because I’m responsible for this.”
Responsibility…….
Oh, I don’t know.
My head is complicated.
Beep beep.
They beat them all to death, but their names remain the same.
Instead of feeling refreshed, it’s even more oppressive.
“Why did you do something so hasty? You said you were a father you’d never seen before anyway?”
that’s definitely the case
Even I knew
Even if I beat all these bastards to death like a madman right now, there will be no reward for him.
Rather, there is no greater hypocrisy than that.
But…
“Just.”
There was nothing better to say.
“I just… felt like it.”
“……Right.”
Surprisingly, Amelia didn’t get angry at those words.
Just look at me without saying anything.
“…….”
He turned his head away as if avoiding Amelia’s gaze.
Then, the corpse of Yandel Jarku was seen.
Not only the injuries received in battle, but also the corpses that can be seen here and there that seem to have been treated like toys.
Kwak.
clenched both fists.
I remembered the short conversation we had in the rift.
[Did you say Beyonce? Have a baby as soon as possible. It’s sad that you can’t leave anything behind in the world.]
[…Is that so?]
[Yes, I didn’t even know until I had a baby.]
Zarku said.
A child inherited by blood is like another me.
It’s such a mysterious thing.
After giving birth to a child, I came to wish for more than becoming an outstanding warrior myself.
[He’ll definitely become a great warrior.]
So I ran away.
[Stop!]
[Huh?]
[Stop, I’ll go now…]
I came to a sharp realization from that one word.
Even if I live under the name of Bjorn Yandel, save many people, and become a hero revered in the city.
‘I can’t be forgiven.’
Even if that wasn’t what I wanted.
Kwak.
No matter what anyone says, the truth won’t change.
After all, I am a demon.
Even the one precious legacy of this barbarian warrior was stolen.
***
“Looks like you’ve calmed down a bit now.”
When I was staring at the corpse of Yandel Jarcu, Amelia looked at me and said,
It was not wrong.
Is time a medicine?
Suddenly, the tinnitus subsided and the tremors stopped.
So now it’s time to think about how to rectify what you’ve done.
I opened my mouth while looking at Gensia who fainted.
“…Do I really have to kill him?”
“Then, is there any other way? If this little boy returns alive, the lord of the castle will find out what we did.”
ha nimiral.
Amelia sighed deeply and asked.
“Is there any reason not to kill him?”
“You’re still… not young.”
Even while answering that question, I heard a question.
Why am I trying to figure out how not to kill?
Even so, I know the future.
This child lives a hellish life, and when he becomes an adult, his body is taken over by evil spirits.
So I’d rather die now…
‘Nimiral.’
A curse comes out.
What am I thinking?
I’m going to die someday anyway, so if I kill you now, nothing will change? Rather, by the act of killing, you could prove that Aurl Gavis was wrong?
I firmly shook my head.
“……Killing is not allowed. Let’s find a way.”
“It’s not like you.”
“What do you know about me?”
To the subject who did not even know that it was an evil spirit.
Unknowingly, harsh words came out, but I did admit it in my heart.
Certainly, if it were me, I might have made a different choice.
But…
‘at least today.’
I don’t want to do that now.
Wasn’t it a particularly difficult day?
Even if this decision is to conform to fate, it is difficult to handle any longer.
That’s why…….
“As you said. I guess I didn’t know you well. I didn’t know you were so weak. If you can’t do it, I will—”
“stop.”
He grabbed Amelia’s wrist.
“……It would be better to let go.”
“Didn’t you try to find another way?”
“How? There is no surer way than this.”
Oh really…….
So let’s think about that method together for a moment, no……
‘Ah, that’s right!’
I came up with a method and quickly opened my mouth.
“Yes, it’s fantastic! If you feed the medicine made by the alchemist of Noark, you can erase your memory! They say it’s from the side of the lord? They might have it!”
I said it with the feeling of a philosopher shouting Eureka, but Amelia only snorted.
“Right now, this is the early stage when the drug was just developed. There’s no way these guys have that precious thing.”
“But isn’t it necessary to look for it first!”
“…It’s good if you’re going to give up seeing it for yourself.”
Saying that, Amelia shook my hand.
“And I warn you, don’t grab my arm again.”
to be sensitive
Soon after, Amelia approached the corpses and started rooting.
Okay, this gave me time to think about whether or not the illusion came out—.
‘Oh wait.’
I realized one mistake belatedly.
Looking at it, Amelia doesn’t seem to have noticed that yet…
‘It’s going to turn.’
Ha, is it because your mentality went out a while ago?
A mistake I would never have made if it were me.
‘……If he mentions this later, I’ll try to sort it out then.’
I also squatted down, took off the corpses’ equipment, and checked their backpacks.
At the same time, I continued to think about it in case the memory removal pills did not come out of them.
That was when
“……You’re lucky. I never thought I’d have this at this time.”
The pills actually came out of the bag.
***
After the pill came out, it was a breeze.
Amelia hurriedly put the pill in Gencia’s mouth and we waited for Gencia to come to her senses.
and how long has it been
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! What is it…!”
Gencia, who had her hands and feet tied and was covered up to an eyepatch, regained consciousness, and we quietly observed her reaction from a distance.
Judgment that there may be a defect because it is an early drug.
“Uncle Beck! Uncle Beck! Help me too!”
It was clear that the memory had been erased once I saw that I was looking for Doojin Beck.
So, how long have the memories been erased?
We were able to get the information we wanted through Gensia, who was mentally muttering to herself.
“I can’t believe I can’t remember from the moment I entered the crystal cave. Maybe it’s because it’s in the early days, but it seems to have excessive performance compared to those that were mass-produced.”
Soon, Amelia went to Gencia, who was struggling, and made her pass out again, and even gave her sleeping pills to keep her from waking up.
So now this issue is settled.
“The labyrinth will be closed soon, so we’ll just have to be together for a few hours.”
After that, we moved seats and passed the time with Gencia who was sleeping.
Well, we can’t leave him alone in the labyrinth.
After doing this, when the labyrinth closes, Gensia will also be taken care of by the forces of the lord of the castle.
They’ll try to dig up information about what happened, but they won’t remember anything.
“…Hey, Amelia. I apologized earlier.”
While waiting, she apologized, but Amelia just pretended not to hear. How long had
passed
in such an awkward
silence ?
There was nothing that greeted us or the cool air wrapped
around our bodies
pleasantly.
Only the dull underground city
welcomed us .
I had to pass the checkpoint to exchange the magic stones, but here, the exchange is a matter of personal freedom.
“Come on, let’s go get a drink!
” Why are you doing that alone? Could it be that the others died inside?”
“This is good news for iron molars. I was grinding my teeth at that bastard.”
The explorers who came out of the plaza were scattered according to their own purposes, and the surroundings quickly became quiet. Gensia, who had fallen far away, was also found by the group of the lord of the castle and transported somewhere
. .”
“Oh yeah…….”
We also slowly left the plaza and headed to one place.
[Melta Merchant Merchant]
Noark’s only Merchant Merchant and the most favored vendor when underground looters dispose of their equipment. The
line is quite short. Unlike the magic stone exchange office, there were crowds of people in front of the branch of the Melta Merchant Merchant. Yes, the magic stone itself is money here, so there is no need to change it. I
heard that the magic stone exchange office over there does not change it into money, but into food or other items you want.
” Hmm Iron Mask and Emily. The most famous people recently came, right?”
Soon after it was our turn, we took out all the equipment we had in storage.
Oh, by the way, we took out Beck’s equipment.
If we take it out, it will be known that we killed them.
“… …Did you get all of this from this expedition?”
Anyway, as we began to rob the backpack in earnest, the staff’s eyes became more and more dazed.
Noark is full of looters, but it seems that it’s not common to have robbed this much.
“Time is running out . It’ll take a while. Will you wait?”
Afterwards, the staff called a few more appraisers from the guild and started the settlement together.
And
after about 10 minutes
,
the appraisal came out. Dog.
After saying this, I don’t know
how much it is. “How much is it based on the Lapdonia currency exchange?”
Based on last month’s exchange rate, the total is 21.57 million stones.”
I heard from Amelia,
but these are really thieves.
It’s a thing.”
“Yes, it would be like that on the ground.”
See how thick the tone is?
“Okay. Emily, I’ll
just pack it up and leave.” “You mean you’re not going to sell it?” “Yes
, I have no intention of giving it to you
at such a ridiculous price.
”
“Then, let’s go to the inn first.” After
leaving the upper branch, we moved to the inn we were staying in
.
Then, after washing our bodies in order, we sat facing each other and had a conversation. “Once we stopped by the Guild and showed them
the equipment we looted,
the lord of the castle would be interested even if it wasn’t Bek.”
.The
bloody equipment and IDs, as well as the numerous evidence of the looting we showed, will reach the ears of the owner of the castle. ”
Then we’ll just have to wait until then
. ”
After that, I changed into my normal clothes and lay down on the bed
. I’m tired.”
Of course, sleep didn’t come easily.
That’s why I was tossing and turning.
“Are you sleeping?”
Amelia suddenly asked.
“I’m not sleeping. Why?”
“Suddenly, I was curious.”
I was curious…….
I had some idea.
Looking back, I must have remembered that ‘mistake’ earlier.
“Try it.”
“Amern’s How did you come to know about the blessing?”
Oh, so that’s the name of the drug.
It’s the first information I’ve heard of, but I didn’t show it and answered naturally.
“Oh, that? Didn’t you give it to me to eat at the inn last time?”
“But you didn’t say that it was made by Noark’s alchemist.” “I was
curious about what it was, so I grabbed another Noark explorer and asked before killing him!” ”
Hmm, that’s right. . That’s right……”
No, what is that tone.
It makes me nervous for nothing.
“Barbarian First of all, the name of that illusion is Lethe’s blessing. It’s not like Amern’s blessing.”
Huh?
“As expected, I expected it. You’re right.”
Soon, a person’s shadow fell over the bed I was lying on. I
glanced away and saw Amelia standing in front of him and looking down at me.
” You
didn’t lose your memory at that time.”
Even though he recognized it from the start, he seemed to pretend he didn’t know until I caught my guard…
What kind of person is so clever?
I sighed and admitted
coolly .
So what should
I do ?
At that time, I was afraid that if I knew I had memories, he would come to assassinate me, so I hid it, but now there’s no need to do that?
Noark’s existence is also exposed in the city.
‘Okay, now I’ll hide it. What’s there?’
When I thought about it, it wasn’t something to be nervous about.
So, I jumped up and straightened my upper body and looked at Amelia confidently as if I had something to say.
But what is this?
“…….”
His eyes are strange.
Somewhere cold “…Why are you looking
at me like that?”
To my question, Amelia coldly replied,
“Bjorn Yandel, the only one who doesn’t lose his memory from that medicine is the evil spirit.”
Ah uh hmm… …..
‘Nimiral.’
I didn’t know this again
