Chapter 333 – Ahead of Time.
“Rise. Intangible.”
“…”
“Hey!!”
“…”
“…Today I won’t pay for alcohol.”
“No. If you threaten, use it.”
The intangible raised his face, frowning arrogantly.
“It’s not okay to catch others’ weaknesses. Langpaewee.”
“From which hole are the words coming out…”
A man of robes called Langpaewee.
In fact, Langpaewee was the name of the monster, not his real name.
It’s not a very proud thing to call it by a code name.
In the case of intangible, it was annoying to know Lang Pae-wee’s real name, so I just called him that.
“Seeing that you had a seizure over alcohol bills, you must have used up everything you earned last time.”
“Hmph. How much does that cost?”
“How much is 100 gold?”
“Is that the price of gum a day for the rich and the poor?”
“For ordinary people, it’s money to live on for several years. Apparently, did you go to that bar again?”
“The kids there are fun.”
“Who was the woman you were indebted to last time?”
“Huh? You came out there a long time ago?”
Free guy.
Langpaewee put down the envelope containing the stack of papers from his bosom, clicking his tongue at him as he answered in an annoying manner as he was still sober.
“Ah. It’s annoying. And I have money today.”
“You?”
“I.”
The intangible smirking and pulls out a pocket from his waist. But the pockets were empty by anyone’s eyes.
“…”
The intangible flapped the pouch several times in the air.
Even the bronzes don’t come out.
“Sheesh.”
What about the intangible who clicked his tongue and grabbed the documents? And tilted his head.
“What? Why so many?”
Intangible blinked his eyes at the amount, which was clearly different from usual.
“Soon there will be a ‘Mage of the Century’.”
“…Ah. That.”
Wizard of the century.
A time-honored rank that determines who the best wizard is once every 10 years.
The criterion for ranking was always how influential they were at the time.
A statistic that ranks the wizard by carefully considering what kind of reputation the wizard has, how much power he has, what kind of magic he has mastered, and so on.
Only up to 100 people are ranked, and it is a dream and an honor for wizards to put their names on the list of wizards of the century.
To the end, the influence of the time is the criterion, so there is no case where a name was listed next time.
That’s why there are many cases where the wizard who was listed as the wizard of the previous century continues to be listed, and being listed above them meant that a new genius appeared.
There is not only the honor of beating geniuses, but also the benefits.
As soon as you are listed here, requests or offers come in from all over.
You can work for a proud noble family, or you can go to a field that requires magic and show off your skills a little and get a lot of money.
In the first place, if you are listed as a wizard of the century, nobility, royal families, famous merchants, or mercenaries will go crazy trying to bring each other, so unless you are the type who hates making connections with people, there is no need to cling to trivial things.
That’s why… ‘Dirty things’ happen too often.
Just as the list of murders was presented to Intangible now, there were many wizards who wanted to be listed even if they trampled on others.
“Cheuk. It’s still the same town~”
The intangible opens the envelope with sober eyes and checks the list.
Looking at him, Lang Pawei glanced at the label on the bottle on the table.
‘Malachiaz 50 Year Old… Dirty expensive and strong alcohol. That’s why there’s no money left…’
I was more concerned about the poison than the consumption.
As for how strong it was, even people who said they were confident in drinking could collapse after drinking just one small bottle.
I emptied it to about 2/3 of the way and the drunkenness went away.
In fact, if you didn’t know much about intangibles, you would think so.
It’s because it’s easy for a tolerable strong person to use Ki or Ryunar to get rid of drunkenness.
However, the intangible did not use such energy at all and decomposed the alcohol with only his body.
Although he knew his body was unusual, Langpaewee thought it was fresh every time he saw it.
Flutter flutter.
An intangible that flips through Pararak documents like flipping through a book.
“Hey. Take a good look.”
“I’m looking at it properly. Isn’t it just medaka fish?”
At the intangible grumble, Lang Pawei nodded his head.
‘Other people might not know, but with intangible sight it would be possible.’
In the first place, he is usually rude, but he is serious at work.
“I’ve heard that there are also high-level ones. I’ve heard that Wells, the master of the bombardment mage.”
“Ah, yes. AC. How can I catch the battle mage in the iron-clad mage tower? Do I have to search? How do I do this? Pass pass.”
Langpawey did not particularly complain.
He used to be picky about work for his own safety, but he was given work that he was capable of doing, and his commission completion rate was close to 100%.
For Langpaewei, I was grateful for the intangible type who worked for a long time and certainly more than those who washed their hands and disappeared after a big bowl of tea.
“They say there are no clients targeting moderately high-level guys? No money?”
“No. If you go after the real ones, you’re in danger too… They’re usually the ones who, like Wells mentioned earlier, want to be on the list of wizards of the century by knocking out the idiots who don’t have a backbone or who have good research but weak combat power.”
“Okay…?”
Disinterested speech.
He didn’t know what was inside because he brought the list that Langpae had received, but he thought that it was opened today because of the intangible and unreasonable reaction.
‘Shall we have a drink and chat for the first time in a while?’
Intangible often acts out of control, but he is an outstanding talent nonetheless.
As a broker, he had to maintain a good relationship.
“Give me corn and steamed duck here.”
“Yeah~”
The pretty waitress answered lively, looked at the intangible, and then subtly blushed.
Intangible huh? When he turns around, he quickly turns his head and runs to the kitchen.
“…That lady seems interested in you. How about one night stand?”
“Don’t joke. It doesn’t look like it has any down.”
“Even if you have fluffy hair, you don’t.”
“You know me well.”
The woman is quite twisted thanks to her fierce but handsome face.
Thanks to that, it was this man who served as a supporter, but did not mix his body.
‘Come to think of it…’
There are men who have one thing in common: fierce but handsome.
A stranger who has recently appeared like a comet and is doing crazy things.
Eight days.
I saw it in a picture, but it was a case of eating away at his handsome appearance because his eyes were dead and his expression was ferocious.
He was always making a rugged expression, so it was similar to an intangible shaving his appearance.
‘I’m sure you’ve recently developed spirit magic. So maybe it’s on that list?’
This might get some intangible attention.
Even if he is not on that list right now, the list of wizards of the century has been announced three times, so he might be included as a target for assassination later.
‘Well, I don’t think there’s anyone big enough to touch a person who has been given the title of the sword of madness.’
So where do you get your luck from?
Lang Pawei’s way of speaking is to draw attention by first mentioning interesting events without talking about the subject right away.
“Intangible. Do you know that it’s Askatlov?”
“What is that?”
‘Doesn’t even the five monsters know?’
Langpaewee glared at him, asking, “How did this guy live?”
He immediately brought up another topic.
“Recently, a new sword of light was appointed in the Holy Spirit Festival. It was also chosen directly by the god and even the title of the position was changed.”
“Yes.”
Doesn’t seem interested.
Normally, he would have shown interest, but Langpaewee frowned and thought.
‘See… Then what? Ah.’
The existence that comes to Langpaewee’s mind.
It was a rumor of unclear truth, but it must have been a word that could attract intangible attention.
“You know Inlith, right?”
“Huh? That nasty bastard? You remember.”
An intangible answer.
He… Had once destroyed the alter ego of Inris, the Demon King of Color Dreams.
Despite being an alter ego, since it was a fight that devastated a village, the intangible would have no choice but to be interested.
“That bastard. They said it was destroyed.”
“Okay?”
Indeed, the intangible raised his eyes.
However, the papers he had gone through over and over again were tossed on the table.
“Isn’t there anything that suits your taste?”
“Full of minnows. The decent ones aren’t very interested.”
The intangible yawns droopingly and looks at Langpaewei with teary eyes.
“Rather than that, continue what I said earlier. If it wasn’t dead, it would have been an uproar in the Demon World.”
Lang Pawee shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
“I’ll do it, but don’t look at it with your eyes closed. You look like you’re angry.”
“How do you get this impression?”
“Yes. The guy who got rid of Inlith is also a guy with a bad impression, just like you.”
“Hoo?”
I wanted to see if the intangible smiled and showed interest, but when I saw the envelope, huh? Make a sound.
“Why?”
“What is this.”
There was one document left in the envelope.
Unlike other documents, it is a list that has been coated.
Thanks to the coating, it seemed to get stuck in the middle of the envelope and not fall off.
“…Oh oh.”
The intangible smiled.
“I’ll do this.”
“What is that…”
Seeing the papers, Lang Pawei opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth as if he were speechless.
“What the hell. Some crazy person put this guy on the assassination list…?”
I lost my senses and remembered what the intangible said he would do this just before.
Langpaewee was silent, then asked cautiously.
“…Are you okay?”
“What. Even if I die, I’ll just die, right? I won’t harm you. You’ve got that kind of safety device in place, right?”
“That’s true, but…”
The intangible, giggling to deny it and drinking, asked, “Ah.”
“Who is the guy you were talking about earlier?”
“Hmm…”
Langpaewee groaned and said.
“He’s related to the owner of this list…”
“Huh?”
“Maybe I can run into you?”
The intangible narrowed his eyes, and Langpawei hesitated before saying the name.
Soon, the intangible smiled deeply.
***
“His name is intangible. His real name is Tohute, which means ‘without form’ in the Rune language.”
“Is he the last mate?”
Kitz, who had been writing something on the hologram that appeared in the air for a long time, answered.
“Yes. As you said, it boasts tremendous strength in close combat… But it has an enormous penalty on its body.”
“Penalty?”
“I can’t use all powers except for Ryunar.”
“…Her?”
What is it.
“Originally, he was from a famous family of wizards, but because he didn’t have mana, he was given a humiliating name and kicked out. After that, he started Killer-Up.”
I knew it from the nickname of a wizard killer, but it didn’t seem like a normal guy after all.
“Are you a bad boy?”
“Yes. That’s why I didn’t get along well with scholars with a strong sense of justice, Marie, and Garcinido in any episode.”
Were you on bad terms with half of the party…
“However, because its body also has a powerful advantage, it does not work on any attacks made with mana.”
“…Ok?”
“It even negates the secondary damage caused by mana-based attacks. That’s why it’s called the ‘Mage Killer’.”
“… Huh.”
Following the miserable penalty, it is an unconventional merit.
You weren’t a member of the warrior’s party for nothing.
It’s great that magic doesn’t work at all, but assuming that the fantasy skill that Inris showed is his pure skill, even if he doesn’t have a body like that, a weak wizard will lightly play around.
For wizards, it is a terrifying existence.
“Then why didn’t you just go looking for him?”
“Because right now it’s a bit difficult. There’s just the right timing.”
“Hmm…”
“And rather than colleagues… It was like a contracted mercenary.”
Mercenary.
Although Kaitsu had expressed himself as a colleague the other day, deep down he seemed to only think of him as an assistant.
Is that why he hasn’t gone looking for him yet?
It’s good that he didn’t have to fight him, though.
I’m a little scared to be honest.
I still can’t forget being stabbed in the head in Enris’ fantasy.
Now that I understand divine power, if you ask me if I can use that level of swordsmanship, I can confidently answer no.
I was lost in my thoughts, but when Kitz asked if I had any more questions, I nodded.
Kitz released the barrier.
The reason for the barrier was to tell only me so that the other warrior party would not hear.
Looking at that point, it seems that the memory of the previous round that was distributed to the warrior party was minus the memory of intangible or something.
“It’s done.”
While explaining to me, Kitz floated the hologram he had written down in the air.
I looked up and saw a hologram.
What was written was:
The process of collecting points to resurrect the ‘true devil’.
1. Extract at least 2 Devil’s Core. Scheduled within a week
2. With the existence of the nucleus, lure one of the 8 monster kings and extract the nucleus after subjugation. It will be done within one month.
3. After subjugating one of the Eight Demon Kings, monopolize the unlocked quest to increase your spec.
4. Based on the increased specs and information from the previous round, 50 nuclei are extracted by destroying demon lords suitable for the situation.
5. Contact Shinsoo with the collected cores and receive the ‘Shinsoo Quest’.
6. Resolving the divine beast quest and contacting the ‘Will of Ryunar Dimension’. Provided an environment to fight and obtained the help of the gods.
7. Proceed with ‘ritual’ by extracting the nucleus of the ‘four demon kings’ of the time. Resurrect the true demon lord.
8. Defeat the true demon king and win the final race. Make a wish.
“This is the plan.”
“…”
What I figured out from looking at his plans for the future is that this bastard is a nuclear homosexual.
What explanation is all about extracting nuclei?
“Sensei Katz. A question.”
“Do it. Except for the teacher.”
I ignored it and continued talking.
“Gathering points? What score?”
“Yes. These procedures written here are all quest contents. Each of them are quests that give powerful points.”
“Hmm…”
“The higher the score, the more powerful weapons and skills come out as rewards, and there are even linked quests. Then, if you are lucky enough to receive a reward related to the level, and complete it, the level will increase and you will be able to use strong power.”
The quests to become the strongest in the least amount of time are entered into his head, said Kitz.
“It’s a high score… Then the keywords I said? How’s the score for that?”
Ten keywords that only I know, as I told Katz before.
Teenage hero.
Four Great Demon Kings.
Where the gods sleep.
Trinity.
Abyssal Magic Palace.
Celestial Palace.
Eight kings
Five holy water.
Magical Forest.
Dragon’s Sanctuary.
It’s not like Kitz was surprised for nothing, and there must have been some guessing.
I don’t know exactly what the score is, but I think it’s worth looking forward to.
“There are some keywords you mentioned that I don’t even know, but if I tell you what I do know, they have very high scores.”
“Oh, yes?”
“But there is too much unclear information even for me who went through so many difficult and countless rounds. I’ll do it in my spare time, but now that I have the power of you, I want to start with a safe path.”
It seems that her level of difficulty is atrocious to the extent that Kitsu is struggling.
Well, it’s a keyword that hasn’t been revealed for a long time, but shouldn’t it be that much?
“However, there is something I definitely want to check out in the ‘Abyss of Magic Palace’ I mentioned before. You just solved that spell.”
Formula.
I’m talking about the moon-shaped spell that I was given to solve when I was a magic class instructor.
His eyes looking at me were full of expectations, but I didn’t know what it was about yet, so I reacted roughly.
“Hmm.”
Actually, there are many things I want to ask.
What is the quest that is unlocked after defeating the monster king, what is the divine beast quest, and how to get the help of the divine beast to contact the will of Ryunar dimension.
But now the question is…
“Aren’t other main quests going on? Isn’t it possible to win the race by solving the secrets of the world or solving the quests related to the teenage family?”
“Good question.”
Kitz pointed at Chuck.
“Get your hands off the fuck. Do you want to search?”
“…”
“Dre ball.”
Garcinido called me quietly and Marie rolled her eyes.
I’m not on my side here…
“You might feel bad if you’re sensitive. I understand, Dre.”
Scholar’s words.
“Student type!”
“Tongue, brother?”
It was the moment when I saw the embarrassed handsome man and stole tears at the existence of a common sense person.
Beep beep beep.
I heard a strange sound and turned around to see Homun holding a small magic tool to his ear.
“Um, um… Yeah? Hmm… I get it.”
Homun put down the magic tools.
Will this woman join the fight? Maybe this woman is the one who handles the unknown people from the back rather than the front… Still, she needs a spec up, right?
“It’s good news, Kitz.”
“Hmm?”
“And it’s time for you to play, Dre.”
“Ok?”
When I sent a suspicious look, Homun smiled and said.
“Herrut is participating as a judge for the Hero’s Gaze. Kaitz.”
Kitz opened her eyes, and I scratched my head.
Who is that
