Chapter 533 – World of the Dead (11)
“
Fish trap.
In other words, a fishing tackle that allows a fish to come in to be eaten with its feet.
It’s speculation, but it’s possible.
‘Because the number of people engaged in the stupid job of being a black magician is small.’
Somehow, I run into a lot of things, so it seems like a lot, but this is a world where even adventurer grandpas in rural villages use magic.
Wouldn’t warlocks be less than 1% of the total population in terms of percentage?
Maybe less than 0.1%.
Well, how can the people of this world live if such human idiots are common?
‘How much more, in such a situation, find an excellent black magician with skills among those bitter trash bitches and steal his mana?’
That’s almost impossible. A high-ranking black magician means an amsaeng who studied black magic while avoiding people’s eyes, but how could such scumbags get caught so easily?
However, what if we put a celebrity name value on the connections between high-ranking black magicians and provide practical benefits to the members?
‘The warlocks who heard the news will come to their feet.’
Humans are social creatures, and there are limits to what even superhumans can do alone.
“… So it was. That’s why I didn’t pay much attention to whether the members followed me or not.”
Full of spirits, I put a puzzle of hypotheses that fit perfectly. It felt like the overall image of the painting was starting to show.
As for Equinox, it’s up to them to do what they want to do, whether or not they follow through.
Warlocks are the ones who buy grudges, and if you find them, you just need to retrieve the youngster’s soul and eat only the dark and negative mana!
‘The souls of members who have fallen behind are probably automatically retrieved. They put that kind of magic on themselves, or they built it into a system.’
It wouldn’t always be possible to observe what all the members were doing.
Taking Diavolo instead of letting him die… Gura said it was because the number of members decreased, and did he take care of it because he was his disciple? Or is it because he still has a role left?
“… Molarehu.”
Can I know that
If you think about it like this, there are parts that you don’t know.
However, this reasoning also felt like the direction itself was right.
“I have evidence to support my reasoning.”
I took out a book I hadn’t even looked at from the slate.
A book with an ominous cover.
It is the book that Equinox threw away while retrieving Diavolo.
The chewy learned how to find out my black magic talent and threw this book.
If I had been walking the path of Safa, I might have invited him to
If it was my talent, I would have accumulated a lot of Dark-Mana by the time I lost it.
“I was sitting down. Did you hear it all already? Won’t you ever do that?”
I threw the unsightly book onto the road slab.
Now I know, your purpose… I was bored and wanted to kill him.
Maybe there was a guy who pretended to have been deceived even after knowing it, and only sucked on honey and splashed it. At least, Equinox wouldn’t have agreed and cast the magic to retrieve the soul and draw mana.
For now, it’s not that important to me, so let’s move on. So far, it’s just ‘ki’ and ‘victory’ in the logic development.
‘Rather, now is the important part.’
I wrote letters again in the snow field.
‘If I didn’t come to Hell after searching, I can guess that space-type magic was the cause.’
No surprise. Isn’t there a precedent for opening a rift in the sky in Lenapolis?
It must be said that there is magic that connects hell and this world.
“If you’re lucky, you’re lucky. It seems that there is no hope of going home.”
After muttering for a while, relieved, he wrote down the words again.
‘I don’t think they targeted me and threw me into hell? If that’s the case, I’ll just come and kill him myself.’
Then why did the hell quick delivery magic activate?
The logical development of that reasoning is simple. You can use the elimination method.
First of all, the underground secret room would not have completely metastasized.
‘In that case, it makes sense that Nefertiti and Optum should have been brought here as well. Besides, the stairs to the cliff wouldn’t have disappeared as soon as I came out of the locker room.’
I was the only one who moved. It is highly likely that the secret room itself is a phenomenon caused by some kind of magic.
The fact that the stairs themselves were magic was confirmed by Odin’s eyes during the fall, so this part is certain.
‘And if we take the hypotheses listed above as a reference… ‘
─Square, square. I wrote the conclusion in the snow field.
1. Regular members of 〈Immortalis〉 Have their souls retrieved when searching. The purpose of recovery is to extract dark and negative mana.
2. Diavolo is a regular member of Immortalis. At the time of his death, he possessed enormous amounts of darkness and negative mana.
3. Therefore, Diavolo’s soul should have been retrieved by Equinox.
“Ha…”
As I gradually approached the conclusion, I wanted to just throw away the spear that was scouring the snow.
He endured the boiling irritation and rage and wrote it down.
4. Diavolo’s darkness and negative mana extinguished my spear.
5. Then, what the fuck? You get a spear with the same dark-mana as Diavolo?
Tickle, tickle… The writing speed slowed down little by little.
Equinox’s soul retrieval magic was created for the purpose of extracting dark and negative mana.
Then, by any chance, what if the soul retrieval spell aimed at my spear instead of the lost soul of Diavolo?
The result is obvious.
7. Peekaboo! Me and my Chang hold hands and get sucked into 〈Space Movement〉!
“… Oh mother fuck really!!!!!!”
─Puck!! I can’t stand it and smash my spear to the floor.
“In the end, it’s because I couldn’t tell whether my window would eat or not!!!!”
Aaaaagh-!! I got angry and breakdanced in the snow.
That was the only hypothesis that could be considered the reason.
My spear was targeted for retrieval, and I was caught up in it and dragged by space-type magic!
Equinox’s automatic soul retrieval magic scratched at the Great Cave, ‘Is this the right thing to recover? I don’t think so? Let’s send it to the head office first’ and dropped me into this cold hell!
It has to be. Didn’t Veronica tell you too? Me and my spear are almost becoming one mind!
In other words, the magical-other world fantasy version of ‘Singam Ilche’, which is the state of martial arts!
So Equinox’s magic targeted my spear and activated space magic!!
And I, who is inextricably united with my spear, must have been caught up in that magic, and left Optum and Nefertiti in that secret room and transferred alone with my daughter like this!!!
“Even if I try to retrieve Diavolo’s soul, that bastard’s soul will be annihilated by my Wolfhedin’s power!!!”
I lamented and forgot the cold and fell face down.
Didn’t the nameless goddess of the Pict-in village tell you!!
The power of Wolfheddin, the successor of Odin, the god of death!
The ability to attain Buddhahood, and in the process to take the mana of the offspring, who had fallen into beasts—obtaining bodies different from their original souls like Horsha and Tabula—as a side income!
I touched Diavolo with that power and made him a Buddha, but the soul retrieval magic was activated at that timing!!
“In the world or on horseback. Are there any accidents like this one?”
─Baladang! I lay down by the bonfire.
If you look at it, doesn’t it mean that it’s all my own business. Back then, I couldn’t help but fucking win, but now that everything has passed, I can’t help but feel like shit.
‘… Let’s try to frown. Let’s think about what to do next.’
How does Equinox’s soul recovery magic work?
Does it suck mana from the original soul and leave it in hell right away? Dark-mana of my spear remains the same?
And the soul of the unicorn warlock? Did you get that too?
“I don’t know again…”
Fuck, this is why there is no such thing as a detective on the 21st century Earth. Even if you know one, you don’t know two, so it seems like the mystery is solved in the end, but isn’t it a little better than walking in place?
But anyway, around the time I left Diavolo and asked the other two to keep watch, it was safe to assume that I had been dropped into this world a long time ago.
Perhaps the two of them would have been stunned by the sudden disappearance of me, who had taken care of Diavolo.
‘… I don’t know if Lalilura will be okay.’
Of course, the biggest concern is the safety of our wives.
I took out a note from the slab. Still no new messages.
Hasn’t the game been won yet? Please let’s pray for that
‘Fortunately, the slate works.’
Then you can get food and borrow wisdom. It was said that there was a chance to return alive to the original different world——[Middle Branch], That world called Manaheim or Midgard.
It goes without saying that you can hear from your wives.
‘I’m going to take a break and look around for a bit until I get a new message.’
I didn’t have the confidence to stay still until the safety of my wives was confirmed.
If you can’t do this anyway, let’s walk around. Do you know Is there some damn bifrost or something that could get you back to Earth?
It was when I woke up thinking so.
“… Det?”
“… Juo?”
Several frost giants stood at the entrance of the cave.
It seemed that when they were careless, they came in droves. The moment I saw their icicle-covered faces with my fucking eyesight, I let out a shrill scream with goosebumps rising.
“Heukyaaaaa!!!!
“Daaaaa——?!”
That face!! That terrifying hideous face!!
As if a female college student living alone in a semi-basement saw an old man peering at her through the bathroom window, I screamed cutely and trembled with biological fear, then I woke up right away!!
– Booung!!
The frost giants swung their fists at my roar. I surrendered to my instincts and returned the fist.
Pooh-!! The frost giant’s fists burst open, and a fountain of blood erupted.
“Guaaaaa——!!!”
“You motherfuckers!! Why do I see your face more often than that common goblin!”
I howled in frustration, grabbed my spear, and charged at the frost giants.
Yes. Ok this is it It was cold, but it was fine.
Let’s warm up the body a bit, bastards.
