Chapter 172 – All-Out War Against Void (1)
I think this is the limit to the information I can get out of this guy.
Unfortunately, I wanted to find out more information about Arceus, but it seems there is no way to confirm it anymore unless I meet him in person.
“So Arceus is here?”
This is the most important thing. If that guy isn’t here, he might end up in trouble.
“Maybe, just maybe. I believe he’s staying inside the central palace of Morphia City.”
“I see, then I guess I should go there. I think I’ve figured out everything I need to know.”
Yuria, who heard me, came forward with her own hand to cut down the black-haired man.
“So we don’t need this guy anymore? We should bury the trash.”
“Heeeeek! Please help me!!”
As Yuri approached with her sword drawn, intent on killing him, the black-haired man screamed, fell down, and ran behind her.
“Wait a minute, Yuria. You can’t kill him until you meet Arceus. For now, I plan to use it until the guide station.”
“If we leave it for no reason, is it possible that the Void will notice our presence?”
When Lenia heard what I said, she looked unsure and said,
“Perhaps so. But it is a confirmed fact that our intrusion was discovered when Drakan was defeated. The only difference is how fast or slow it is. That is why it is even more important to protect all of Ellie, Noah, and Rachel remaining in the kingdom of Brittinya. “I’m thinking of bringing it over.”
I had a feeling that if I missed this opportunity now, I would never be able to trace Boyd’s footsteps again.
I think my biggest goal today will be to cut off the bad relationship with Boyd.
“Then let’s do it this way. First of all, we will be divided into two teams. The team that includes me will use the 〈 Return 〉 skill to call the remaining people from the Britinya Kingdom here, and the rest will take this guy and wait.”
I handed over the necklace I had taken from the black-haired man to Freya.
“I have this. If I have this, I will be able to pinpoint your location with a compass. Let’s meet here. The rest of us are waiting here, and I…”
For a moment, I wondered who I should go back to the Kingdom of Brittina with.
For now, I was thinking of leaving Freya here. When I was dealing with a guy called Drakan earlier, I received Freya’s buff and defeated him easily, but if I think about it again, those guys called Darkan withstood the normal attacks of my characters who didn’t use skills.
It’s an enemy that doesn’t fall down all at once despite receiving Freyja’s buff, which means its stamina and defense are higher than expected. If several of these guys come in groups, it might be a bit overwhelming.
And this is Void’s home base. It cannot be said that there will not be an enemy that has fused with a level 100 raid monster like the last Gigant, so taking that into consideration, it is certain that Freyja will be left here.
In that case, the three remaining people are Lien, Renia, and Yuria…
“Lien, come with me. Renia and Yuria, please stay here and wait.”
In case a battle breaks out, I think it would be a good idea to leave Rhenia, who has the highest combat power, behind, and considering that she might leave her position immediately when I’m not there, I think it would be a good idea to leave Yuria here as well, since she can avoid it by riding Minercia.
“Yes, Jinu!”
“Okay~!”
“Please come back.”
I held out my hand to Lien, and Lien saw me and held my hand.
“If you think it’s dangerous, get out of the place. Don’t wait for me. My biggest goal here is to catch Void, but it doesn’t mean much if you guys get hurt. Remember to take absolute care of yourselves, and I’ll come back from Britinya Kingdom as soon as possible.”
With that said, I checked the list in 〈 Return 〉 skills. I confirmed that the city of Moria, which arrived today, was listed there.
After confirming that the city of Morphia was in the list, I took Lien’s hand and selected Brighton Castle, the Kingdom of Brittinya.
Then, in an instant, the scenery around me changed, and a now familiar headache rushed through my head.
This headache is letting me know that I have arrived at Brighton Castle.
When I opened my eyes and endured the pounding headache, I saw Ellie, Noah, and Rachel waiting for us.
“Jinuni, you’re here. Are you hurt anywhere?”
When Lien and I arrived at Brighton Castle using the 〈 Return 〉 skill, the girls who remained at Brighton Castle walked towards me.
“It’s been a while. Ellie, Noah, and Rachel. Everything happened, right?”
“We were just investigating the north here. Have we finally caught up with Void?”
I nodded at Noah’s words.
“I plan to end my bad relationship with Boyd today. I interrogated a person who belongs to Boyd over there and obtained information about Boyd.”
I simply summarized the information I heard from the black-haired man and shared it with the girls who remained at Brighton Castle.
He also told me about an unknown demon called Drakan.
Of course, the women here didn’t know about Drakan either.
This may be information you will learn while fighting Arceus.
“Then let’s go back to Morphia City. It’s only a short time, but I don’t know what will happen to the three remaining people.”
I gathered people on my side to use the 〈 Return 〉 skill and immediately moved to Morphea City.
When I opened my eyes again, enduring the pounding headache, the scenery around me had changed.
Looking around, it seemed like we had arrived at Morphia City and moved to the location before crossing the walls.
“This is Morphia City. First of all, there don’t seem to be any guards around.”
Ellie looked around to see if any guards would notice our presence.
As Eli said, there were no guards around at all.
What I was worried about was that I would get caught by the guards as soon as I used the 〈 Return 〉 skill, but fortunately that didn’t happen.
Are we lucky that there are no guards around us?
Then, for a moment, I had doubts.
There are no guards?
I looked around again.
There are no guards. There were definitely a lot of guards that I saw when I first infiltrated Morphea City.
So I was as careful as possible to avoid being caught when sneaking in, but now I can’t see any of the guards walking around outside the castle walls.
I suddenly feel anxious.
Why aren’t there any guards? When I first came here, I saw a lot, but now there’s nothing…
“Master, by any chance?”
“Oh, I have the same thoughts as you.”
I think Lien probably thinks the same as me.
“There is no time to get over Lien. Let’s just tear down her walls.”
I could feel Freya’s buff still remaining on my body. That means Freya’s buff will still remain on Lien.
The fact that there are no guards now makes me think that Arceus, who reigns as the owner of the city, has noticed the three people left behind in the city of Morphia.
Guards were also gathered inside to catch the intruders inside.
That means that Rhenia, Yuria, and Freya who remained inside might be in danger.
I took out the compass from my pocket. This is to check the direction the compass points.
Because the compass will tell you their current location.
And when I looked at the direction it was pointing, it was pointing inside Morpia City.
In that case, our job is to join those who remain inside.
Before I went in, I sent a whisper to the girls who remained inside.
‘Rhenia, Yuria, Freya! We have now brought in all the remaining personnel in the Kingdom of Brittinya. If you happen to encounter the enemy, be careful and join us.’
“Yes, my lord. Please step back for a moment.”
Lien approached the wall and positioned herself to strike.
“Haaaaab!”
〈 Shredding Fist 〉
Quack!
Lien threw out her fist and used her skill to strike the wall of her castle, causing her to make a loud noise.
But the scene that unfolded before my eyes was momentarily unbelievable.
Of course, I thought that the walls would be destroyed by Lien’s attack, but the walls remained intact as if nothing had happened.
She also had a look of embarrassment on her face as she attacked Liendo.
I think Lien, like me, thought that the castle wall would naturally collapse.
“Jinu! There’s a magic spell on the castle wall. It’s like a barrier.”
While Lien and I were perplexed, Rachel approached the wall, placed her hand on her face, and with a meaningful look on her face, she said:
“Barrier? What does that mean?”
“I don’t know exactly, but this seems like a powerful barrier. It’s also a barrier made of incredibly high-level magic. Plus… It surrounds the entire castle wall. Even I can’t create a barrier like this.”
A barrier, this is my first time seeing something like this.
This barrier itself is not implemented as a character skill.
The basic premise of the Elion game itself is to catch monsters, but the skills to protect something do not exist unless you are a buffer class like Crusader or Paladin.
But do monsters use it? Not really.
Demons are just monsters. I can’t use magic or anything like that.
But now, a huge barrier is surrounding Morpia City before our eyes.
This is a barrier that does not budge even though Lien, who received the Freya buff, hits it with all his might.
What on earth is going on?
Ever since I came to Morphia City, I am embarrassed by how things I don’t know continue to unfold.
“Are there any sisters or brothers inside?”
“Okay, so I tried to break down the castle wall to get in right away, but surprisingly it didn’t break.”
Noah heard me and approached the wall.
“Then can’t we just move on? There’s no need to break it.”
Noah said and spread his blood-covered wings behind his back and flew up.
And she moved her body to go over the wall…
Bang!
“Ahh!”
Noah hit an invisible wall and she fell to the ground.
Before she hit the ground, she corrected herself and landed properly.
However, it appears that the barrier was put in place to protect the castle walls and prevent intruders.
