Chapter 319
This is a question that has been on my mind for the past few months.
It was only in the game that I could get a sense of how much this number would be, but it was difficult to realize it with just that.
Because this is not just a simple game.
‘In that sense, it might be a perfect opponent.’
Even a ‘level knight’ who can manifest an aura is considered equal to a 6th floor explorer, and is ranked above him in terms of interpersonal combat.
However, I don’t really care about the specs.
Of course, the spirit imprint is still only level 6, and the level is also low, compared to the strong people of this era, the number of essences is overwhelmingly small, but…
Ogre, Bayon, and Stormgush.
Level 3 has as many as three integers.
Essence combinations are not fundamental, but they are tailored to create synergy.
Above all, the biggest reason why tanks are not able to beat knights is the lack of damage, which can be covered with Devil Grinder.
So in other words…
‘The conditions are the same for each other.’
It is the same for both sides to go to the goal if they get hit with one shot.
“…….”
“…….”
Unexpected silence continued on the dark stairs.
After I came out strong, did the other side feel uncomfortable too?
‘Did I go hard for no reason?’
He carefully measured his distance from me to the extent that he thought so.
However, the more I did, the more I raised my concentration.
And as if the old swordsman’s confrontation was decided in one breath.
“…….”
“…….”
The match was decided in an instant.
Swoop.
It was the opponent’s side that made the first move.
just one step.
The moment he climbed one step to fill the short distance.
“Pheuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
I chewed my tongue and sprinkled the acid blood it had on his face.
However, the boy did not avoid it.
Like a boxer who says he won’t budge even when a fist strikes me, he holds out his sword in an inconsistent position.
That was why the corpse golem essence was a fraud.
Nobody knows about acid blood.
I think it’s about blood
.
The acid blood touched me before the sword.
There was only a melting sound, but no screams.
However, even if he trained only for cancer, it was impossible to perfectly control his body as a human being.
His eyes temporarily closed and the tip of his sword shook.
Taking advantage of that gap, I twisted my body to the side and flew in.
Tadat.
In the airborne state, the sword grazed his side.
It wasn’t an injury worth worrying about.
But did he realize that fact only from the feeling of the sword?
Seruk.
He raised the shield he was holding with his left hand.
Since the first move went back to zero, the decision was made to endure this turn with defense.
Seeing the white halo of light formed on the surface of the shield, it seemed that he had a defense-type skill as well.
But that was his second defeat.
This hammer has armor piercing attached.
Aaaaaang-!
As soon as the hammer was swung down without mercy.
“Cuck!”
He opened his mouth and gushed out blood.
His eyes were filled with only bewilderment.
Well, I blocked it well with my shield, but I don’t think I could understand why my body was so weak.
However, understanding and understanding are a different story.
Tadat.
Accepting the dangerous situation, he sprinted backwards down the stairs.
I’m trying to buy some time to fix it somehow.
This was his third defeat.
I also have the Grab skill.
Woo woo woo woo-!
By linking [Transcendence] and [Eye of the Storm], I brought the one who had been getting farther away.
And…
“Oh no…!”
what’s wrong
Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik!
I continued to strike the hammer until his head was crushed.
***
“Oh sweat.”
After a total of three confirmation kills, I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. It was only a few seconds of battle, but it was because of the considerable consumption of mental energy.
Well, the reward was certain.
‘Kya, the equipment starts at least level 4.’
The equipment is quite good, probably because Seongju invested a lot. I couldn’t bear to leave it, so I quickly took off my equipment and put it in a subspace.
I had to take out the least valuable ones because of a little lack of space, but that’s unavoidable.
Suddenly, he remembered the note Amelia had left.
Did you get the fragment stone of the record and go alone?
‘……What are you going for? I haven’t found a place to bury the equipment yet.’
Cancer How did you collect these things, just leave them there.
I’ll never go until I fix that.
I don’t even know how to use it in the first place.
‘Anyway, it’s an opportunity that won’t come again, so let’s take it first.’
After routing, I left the naked corpse behind and went down the stairs.
Took.
The stairs themselves were very wide, but once they all went down, there was a wide aisle that could easily pass 20 people.
By the way, there was a huge door at the end of it…
‘It’s slightly open.’
There were no people immediately visible nearby.
Therefore, I killed the presence as much as possible and approached the door.
There was only one person in the huge cavity beyond the door designed for shelter.
The top of the head that has been beaten by the winds of the years and has been peeled off.
Lumpy, fat belly.
Gorgeous outfits that look like they were made of easy-to-see fabric, and thick double eyelids that were burdensome.
It must have been the lord of the castle that he had seen from afar once before.
“……Sir Omanus?”
At that time, Seongju must have sensed my presence and spoke to me in a voice full of anxiety.
Hmm what to do
After thinking about it for a while, I just reflected.
“Are you… an iron mask?”
The lord looked at me and was startled.
“Sir Omanus, who said he was coming to check what was going on, is where you are going…”
“Omanus is dead.”
“…….”
“Oh, just in case, I’m the one who killed it.”
“……!”
When I calmly told the truth, Sungjoo widened her eyes and started to walk backwards.
to do useless things.
Can you run away like that?
“Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! It’s reckless! You dare to know who I am…!”
I quickly approached him and grabbed him by the back and lifted him up, and Seongju began to struggle with fury.
It was a very ugly look to be the ruler of the city.
Even if it’s a panic room that no one knows about, I should have taken more escorts and hid.
“What do you want…! Enough! Say it!”
While holding the holy wine with one hand, he patted his body and simply searched through his belongings.
And soon I found what I was looking for.
Amelia said she would definitely keep it in her arms, but it was true.
I didn’t know it would be in the form of a necklace.
Took.
I used my strength to break off the necklace and let go of the castle.
Seongju, who opened his eyes and took away the treasure left by his ancestors, shouted in a fit of rage, but he did not rush at me, as if he was still thinking.
‘Okay, I’ve got this for now…’
Concerned that it might work just by touching it, I held on to the necklace string and put the fragment stone of the record into the subspace.
“You bastard……! You know what it is!! Come on, give it to me! Give it to me!”
“Noisy from earlier. Shall I pull out some?”
“…….”
After shutting her mouth for a while, she asked calmly.
“Do you know how to use the record fragment stone?”
“Hey! He’s really aiming for this… ugh!!”
“Just answer the questions. It’s just you and me here.”
“……Do you think I have something to tell you!”
Surprisingly, Seongju was quite tough.
At first, he was angry, then he said he didn’t know, and finally, after being beaten, he confessed the story left by his ancestors.
“Isn’t there a way to write it?”
“According to this once-known record, that’s right… When the one who has been called by the era comes to the side, the light will radiate out…” It
was unexpected information.
According to Amelia, even the lord of Noark didn’t know how to use it, so he only kept it.
But in fact, I knew everything.
‘It wasn’t active, but it was a natural activation when the conditions were met.’
It was good to ask just in case.
“Now, if the question is resolved—”
“It’s okay, tell me. What if the one who has been called by the era wants to go back?”
“What……? Why are you curious about that—”
Seongju’s eyes widened as if he had no intelligence at all.
“You can’t believe it…!”
Well, I openly showed it, but if you don’t know, you’re an idiot.
I had no intention of hiding it, so I just nodded.
“As you guessed. So tell me. How do I go back to the original time zone?”
“Somehow… I wondered how I came to this place that no one knows about, but that kind of background…
”
When he wrote and made a sound, Seongju hurriedly gave an answer to the question with a white face.
“I heard it’s the same as when I came back. If you finish all your work here, you’ll be able to be called again…”
“It’s annoying.”
“…Can I ask you a question too?”
As I was thinking about what to do now, the owner of the castle started talking to me.
“What kind of person will I be in the future?”
The eyes of the lord of the castle when he asked such a question twinkled to the point of feeling bad. Did he really expect that he would leave a name in history like a hero?
“Why are you asking that?”
“It’s all just curiosity… Now that you’re here, that future doesn’t exist…but you can be curious.”
yeah he really doesn’t know anything
Well, that’s why there must have been talk of treasures that can go back to the past and change history.
“Oh, how was work today? Orculis, did you succeed in driving those trifles out of this city?”
“Are you so curious about the future?”
The lord of the castle nodded.
“Then close your eyes
.
” What do you see?”
“I can’t see anything.”
Fortunately.
If I said I could see something, I would have been in trouble.
“That’s your future.”
I
hit the hammer as
hard as I could .
A puddle of red blood began to pool.
I looked away without much inspiration. I
had been living here for several months, and even if only half of what I had seen and heard was true, he deserved to die
.
Incidentally, the murder of the lord of the castle was known to the public as being the work of Orculis, and Amelia believed it as well.
But as it turned out,
the real culprit was me
.
In fact, I debated until the end whether to kill him or not.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why I finally hit the hammer.
Even if I just leave, there is a high possibility that the castle lord will be killed by someone today and history will be completed.
No, it will definitely happen. Really,
but One.
In fact, what I killed was just a double. That
the real lord of the castle fled to the surface, concealed his identity, and completely fooled the world for 20 years.
Unless it’s such a ridiculous case.
The result won’t change—
“Uh… “…?”
I stopped involuntarily.
“Wait a minute.”
It seemed like I could understand the philosopher’s feelings
after shouting
“Eureka.”
