Chapter 776 – Guardian of the Dungeon
Anyone else would have stopped trying to build a lighthouse for souls, but the existence in front of them was a mighty demigod. Because of this, Ruchel says she will help him cast the vision rather than stopping him.
“Iraqorn-nim will be with you as you are doing.”
“However much. It must be fun.”
Dracolich Irakorn readily agrees with Seongil’s words and begins preparations with him.
『By the way… Have you prepared the dishes to use as a lighthouse? Since your soul is also quite powerful, the vessel to contain the divided soul must also be an excellent item, right?”
“Uh…”
Seong-il had only thought about making a lighthouse for the soul, but hadn’t thought about the materials underneath. Irakorn laughed lightly at such a holy day and pointed at his ring.
“How about the ring you are wearing on your hand? As far as I know, it was made using the body fragments left by the great god of the end.”
“…The incomprehensible ring?”
“That’s right. In order to contain the soul of a great being like you, wouldn’t it be right to use a material that deserves it?”
“Hmm…”
To the troubled Seong-il, Irakorn says that the ring of incomprehensibility would be quite good to use as a material for the lighthouse of the soul, as the essence of destruction, death, and the end are united.
“…The incomprehensible ring is a fragment of an existence called the abyss. The abyss is a part of the body of an evil being that has succeeded in corrupting even a god. Is that okay?”
“Better! You will be more familiar with the power of the soul. And don’t worry about contamination.”
“…?”
At Irakorn’s boastful words, Seong-il looks puzzled as he doesn’t understand why he said such a thing.
『Your soul I saw through your memories… To be precise, your mental defense was at an absolute level.』
“That’s right.”
Dracolich, as well as Ruchel, who quietly overheard the conversation nearby, praised the mental barrier of the holy day. In particular, Ruchel is sure that the existence of the game world created by Seong-il will never pollute Seong-il’s spirit.
“How can you be so sure?”
“It’s simple. The Game Master is protecting Seong-il’s spirit. The Game Master sounds like a toy when you hear his name, but he’s a really great and scary being. If nothing else, as long as he thoroughly protects Seong-il’s spirit. , No being in the world created by the game master will be able to harm you mentally.”
“It seems plausible.”
In fact, since his mind has never been polluted, Seong-il feels that Ruchel’s words are plausible. Even, he used to feel that the erosion of the abyss, which he felt threatened by, did not have much effect when he thought about it now, so he used to feel that he was frightened for nothing at the time.
“Then it’s a waste, but it would be better to use the incomprehensible ring.”
『If you feel that the ring is a waste, how about this one? From what I’ve read, there could have been an artifact in your memory that could serve as a lighthouse.”
“Hmm? There’s such a thing? Ah! Arunrabe is absolutely not allowed.”
Since Arunrabe was his main weapon and a must-have weapon when killing alien administrators, Seongil expresses that he can never use Arunrabe as a lighthouse.
“That? That’s of course, since it’s a cosmic relic, using it as a lighthouse is a waste! I’m talking about stuff that has to do with that young lich who’s been held in your black ball.”
Seeing Irakorn suddenly summoning Argent and speaking, Seong-il couldn’t understand what he was saying and asked again.
“Are you going to kill that lich and turn it into a lighthouse? Or use a black ball?”
“No, of course I’m talking about the rich man’s reliquary.”
Irakorn notes that Argent was the one who discovered the piece of Abyss from the beginning and used it to make a ring.
“Think about it with common sense. Why did someone who accepts the power of the abyss find the piece and turn it into a ring? It would be better to use it as a reliquary.』
“…!!”
『The reliquary that contains the lich’s soul and essence is no different from the lich’s life. In addition, the better the material of the reliquary, the stronger the magic power of the lich.”
“Surely…”
Irakorn’s reasoning that Argent, a minion who follows the abyss, couldn’t have only made a ring out of the fragments, sounds very reasonable.
“It worked just fine. I couldn’t use the black ball because of this worm-like demilich. At this point, I’ll have to remove the back ring and retrieve the black ball.”
“Good idea. Then let me help you at this point.”
“…Didn’t you say you didn’t like fighting?”
It was only yesterday that the dracolich had said that fighting was boring because of the endless battles in the war of light and moon that lasted for almost eons, but when he changed his attitude, Sung-il was dumbfounded.
“Of course I hate fighting!! I’m fed up with fighting still. However, you must build a safe lighthouse for my soul so that my soul can recover and rest. It’s easy to fight for that at least once.”
“But…”
From Irakorn’s point of view, if Seong-il messed up the lighthouse and something went wrong, Seong-il could understand his abrupt change of attitude, since his aspirations could have been destroyed entirely.
“I help too.”
“Oh…!!”
When Seong-il offers to help even Ruchel, the world’s great wizard and the number one sorceress in the world of dolls, he estimates that he will be able to subdue the formidable enemy Demilich Argent.
‘In addition, this is my home base, so if I fight here, I have many colleagues to mobilize.’
In the Inner Plane, there are not only the Harvest Goddess and Widgrasil, but also the mighty High Priestess of Harvest, Aruril, who has now reached the demigod realm. Because of this, Seongil is confident that he can easily subdue the Demilich Argent.
***
『All preparations have been completed.』
A few days later, Seong-il listens to Edward’s report while sitting in a deserted place outside the Inner Plains and nods his head. He summons his followers as he sees a huge dome the size of a playground spread out in front of him.
“It looks like the Gaia system is ready, how about you guys?”
“There is nothing wrong with us either.”
Widgrasil and the Goddess of Harvest promised to protect the dome created by the Gaia system instead of directly participating in the battle to prevent the dangerous waves from spreading due to the huge battle. Relieved by their reassuring answers, Seong-il goes into the dome and starts preparing for battle in advance.
“Are you ready?”
“Of course. Does it take a lot of preparation to subdue a young lich?”
Although it is a demilich called the lich among lichs. The dragon in front of me is a dracolich, a being so powerful that even the demilich would laugh at it. And since Ruchel and Aruril, who are no less powerful than them, are also located next to them, Seong-il starts preparing for battle with confidence.
“Arunrabe! Transform into a sword specialized in magic resistance!!”
As the opponent is a master of magic, Seong-il changes Arunlabe to prepare for battle according to the enemy’s characteristics. According to the owner’s will, Arunlabe transforms into a two-handed sword with terrifying anti-magical power.
『That guy is really bloody.』
As Arunlabe completely rejects all magical power flowing around him, Ruchel and Iracorn admire the momentum of the sword. While they are looking at the sword, Seong-il recovers the energy he used to change the sword through a brief meditation, then stands up and picks up the sword.
“Then let’s start slowly.”
When Seong-il spoke, the colleagues who were looking at the sword settled down in their respective positions as if they had shown a relaxed appearance, and began to apply all kinds of powerful defense magic to their bodies.
Seong-il, who saw this, began to use all kinds of alter ego and defensive magic, and soon after, he had a messenger of destruction, a death knight, an alter ego, etc. Around him. He succeeds in summoning a mighty force that will frighten the viewer.
‘Isn’t Aruril amazing?’
The battle stance of Aruril, who was once an apostle of magic. She floats her unknown powerful magic, and with her divine magic, she applies all kinds of buff magic to herself, Seongil, and Ruchel.
“Hmm… The Prince of the Earth cannot be summoned.
Ruchel wanted to summon the mighty Spirit King, who signed a true name contract with him, but he couldn’t summon it because the inner plane was blocked from the doll world, so he couldn’t summon the prince of the earth.
‘That person also has a sense of benevolence.’
When the surrounding beings each summoned powerful minions such as undead and clones, it seemed that even Ruchel was secretly stimulated. Seong-il feels that his tension is slightly relieved thanks to seeing an interesting side that is not like him.
“Going.”
While the tension is relieved, Seong-il throws a black ball to summon Argent. Then he is a person with a vicious aura that jumps out of his cheek. His eyes, which have the appearance of a handsome young man, emanate blood-red energy, making the viewer feel disgust and fear.
“How dare you…!! Play a trick on Jim!!”
