Chapter 1346 – Grindel
Pout. Pout.
Muhyeong thought that the feeling of snow being stepped on was very unfamiliar.
A place where public power cannot reach due to his status as a former criminal. Muhyeong, who often went to remote and cold regions, often stepped on snow, but in Grindel, where snowstorms raged all year round, he had never stepped on snow that much.
This is because Grindel had used magic to prevent the eyes from entering.
It would take a lot of effort to cover this large mansion all at once. The matriarch did not allow even a single snowflake to be buried.
When I think about it now, I guess I was displeased because I was afraid that Grindel’s magic would not be able to block even a single eye.
He just didn’t notice. The matriarch may have been more humane than we thought.
Like the things he brought with him now.
Pout. Pop, pop, pop.
Standing in front of the warehouse door next to the entrance, Muhyeong stepped on the snow and made a noise.
The snow that invaded the mansion seemed to signal Grindel’s decline.
He must have wanted this damn family to perish, but the word decline made him sick.
Why?
Did he think his father, who he thought didn’t care about him, had any affection for him at all?
Because you couldn’t save Dofute?
Doruji, my cute younger brother, asked me to take over as Grindel?
I don’t know.
I just hated complicated thoughts.
Now I wanted to move my body in a trance.
Pot.
Intangible looked at the warehouse ahead.
The warehouse that Dre had thought suspicious from day one had now turned into a dangerous place for anyone to see.
The area around the warehouse was rippling like water ripples.
This warehouse itself is nothing.
But. In this warehouse, there is only an entrance leading to the world of ghosts.
‘Ah. Now that I think about it, I guess that was the location of this warehouse.’
The story that Nelf told me. There was a saying that the place where the woman who was abandoned by the nobles died was in the house that was built before this warehouse was built.
I haven’t confirmed the facts, but seeing as the entrance to the ghost world is here, it’s probably real.
Thinking about that, I reached for the wall instead of the doorknob.
With a splash.
It made a sound similar to going into water.
Breaking into another world is very difficult, but not impossible.
Since it means moving to a field that is advantageous to the opponent, I am more willing to accept it.
Even so, there is originally some repulsive force.
It cannot be helped because foreign matter enters a separate world.
However, his special intangible constitution allowed him to enter another world without any repulsion.
Chubbeoung.
Soon, Muhyeong, who pushed his whole body in, saw that the world in front of his eyes had changed.
Whiooooo-!!
A harsh blizzard that threatened all living things, incomparable to the previous one, hit.
In the white space where I couldn’t see even an inch in front of me, my intangible extraordinary vision captured a village far away.
“It’s spooky.”
There was not a single sign of human presence in the village, which was completely covered in snow, and the houses were in ruins, with cracks or collapses somewhere.
Ordinary people would have felt a tremendous chill at this point and avoided it.
But the village became increasingly strange.
Oooooh.
It’s not the sound of a blizzard. It’s a sound coming from the village.
Is it a vengeful spirit? Or is it a sound created by intense energy?
A sinister energy was emanating from that village, enough to make even experienced warriors terrified…
Fault.
The intangible new type has disappeared. He appeared in the village the next moment.
In a village where there were no signs of popularity, Muhyeong raised his voice.
“You came to see me in person, right?”
Pop.
The ooh ooh sound stopped like a lie.
Crispy. Crispy.
From the snowdrifts that covered the ground, people crawled out like moles from here and there.
“You look like a zombie.”
It looks exactly like a zombie.
Those that crawled out of the ground were like the female ghost her biological mother had dealt with, her eyeballs empty and her entire body dried and twisted like a pale mummy.
What is noteworthy is…
‘Her specs themselves are stronger than those of the woman.’
That’s probably several times as much.
It’s a funny situation where the mob is much stronger than the woman who is the subject of this world.
No. Maybe that woman’s specs were even higher after coming into her own world.
If that were the case… Even if it was intangible, it would be dangerous.
The death alarm rings in my head.
Intangible accepted the warning sound of danger with an appropriate level of tension.
Crispy! Crisp!
Even while I was thinking, the ghosts began to appear one after another.
The number has already exceeded 100.
“Is it really a village unit?”
Hoe. Sickle. It looked a bit comical because it was holding something like a ladle, but all the objects it was holding and its body were enchanted with powerful cold energy, so even if it just brushed against it, it would freeze to death.
The title “Ice ghost” Naturally came to mind.
Intangible raised her hand without saying a word. Flash-!! His ring shined.
Jinryong notation.
Dwarf skills. Wizard’s knowledge. This Noble Phantasm, which is said to be infused with the power of a dragon and is only allowed to be used by Grindel’s direct lineage, has the effect of counteracting and assisting the magic of that lineage.
The effect of the intangible True Dragon Gibo without any magic is the highest level subspace.
It has a very high load capacity, is not destroyed until the wearer’s intangible body dies, and is an excellent item that allows you to hold a weapon loaded in subspace just by thinking about it.
The head of the family brought in more than 100 magical weapons for magic research, and the incorporeal form swept them away.
Among them, there were 8 talented people who had met only great figures throughout their lives and were impressed even by the highly regarded Intangibles.
The first valuable weapon that Muhyeong took out was a large ax called Ryeokgyeok (力力).
Of course, it is an ax with special abilities.
Special abilities can only be activated once per day. After activating this effect, it is moved to a location designated by the owner and becomes unusable.
The effect is very simple.
Depending on the caster’s ‘strength’, a wider and more powerful ‘gravity slash’ is used.
Intangible strength.
It surpasses even the True Purgatory Demon King.
Ujijijik…!!
The muscles of his intangible right arm, which held the sack as if it would break, swelled greatly and swung.
Sssss…
Even the sound was buried in the middle.
A large ax the size of a person is slashed downward with all the strength of one’s body.
It was only around that time that the icy ghosts completely emerged from the ground and rushed at the incorporeal object.
Kk-jik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuuuuuck-!!
The entire village collapsed.
In terms of physical strength, the ghosts who could be compared to the Demon King of Purgatory were crushed to the ground all at once, and many ghosts passed away. The blizzard flew in all directions due to the force of gravity.
Whiooooo-!!
That moment. Suddenly the snowstorm became more severe.
So so so so so.
“…”
My shoulders were frozen. Not only that, the area of ice is increasing.
It is a world that is inherently hostile to intruders. Of course, he was protecting Ryunar by surrounding him, but even he was pierced and frozen. Even the coldness grew stronger very quickly.
Literally, the world itself is the enemy.
Faced with a crisis beyond imagination, Muhyeong raised the corners of his mouth.
“I guess you’re pretty surprised?”
I mean, the next hand has already been drawn.
At the end of his speech, a plaque with the Taegeuk symbol on it was spinning round and round above his head.
Taegeukpae.
A magic tool that automatically defends against attacks received.
The more you understand the principles of attack and the psychology of your opponent, the more your defense power increases.
Say it the other way around. It is a difficult magic tool to use, as its defense becomes 0 if you have no knowledge of the opponent’s attack.
Muhyeong also knew very well that this phenomenon was caused by divine power, and he also read the psychology of the enemy being afraid of an attack that exceeded expectations.
While the Taegeuk pavilion, which had a wealth of information and strong defensive power, was spinning around to block out the cold, an intangible eye caught a house.
A house that ordinary people may not notice, but to the intangible eye, a sense of discomfort is evident.
Wow!!
The incorporeal waved his arm.
The whip was moving towards a house at an invisible speed.
Eye light whip.
A whip that can reach anywhere within the user’s field of vision.
Quack!
Someone caught the whip in the middle.
Huge palm.
The fallen villagers clumped together and took on the form of yetis, grabbing their whips and growling.
“What the hell.”
The intangible canceled the summoning of the eye light whip without any regrets. Papad!! I quickly ran directly towards the house I had captured earlier.
That moment. There are many ghosts who would have been overwhelmed by the special abilities of force. Crash. It made a grotesque sound, rose up, and chased after the intangible figure. It was fast enough to catch up if you were not careful.
‘In this world, can you survive even if you take a blow that is close to death…? No, it seems a little different.’
It feels like they can’t die in the first place.
‘To borrow that guy’s words. ‘Enemies that cannot be killed according to the game system’
That moment.
[Ah!]
[Ah!]
[Aaaaa!!]
I thought some of the villagers were screaming, but it soon became a chorus.
Listening closely to the chorus, I realized that it was a word that criticized and cursed someone.
It was the technique that ripped Dre’s stomach open.
However, unlike back then, when it took some time, as soon as the chorus started, Pakaang!! Damaged the intangible. Taegeukpae received the damage instead. However.
Kiriririk…
The Taegeukpae, which had suffered so much damage, stopped spinning and returned to subspace.
The intangible body began to freeze again. To make matters worse, the chorus started again.
This time too, the phenomenon of splitting the stomach occurred immediately.
Sigh-!!
Kaaaaa!! The dagger sparked.
The intangible ship was fine.
The singing ghosts stopped.
Perhaps because of their mood, their empty eyes seemed filled with shock.
The intangibles have now defeated their power with reflexes alone, or with some concept that transcends them!
Also. The intangible body was not frozen.
It wasn’t that he was doing anything intangible, but his special constitution was adapting to this world.
[[Aaaaa-!]]
As if to see how long they could hold out, the ghosts began to sing in chorus again.
Muhyeong was lost in thought for a moment.
‘It’s fortunate that those ice ghosts don’t teleport like those ghosts, but even if you kill them, they won’t die…’
Annoying.
Moreover, in its current form, it seems that it is difficult to eliminate the intangible, so it continues to merge.
[Growl!]
[Keuuu!!]
A few combined ice ghosts with great strength, like the Yeti that grabbed the whip, appeared… And a strong presence was felt in the sky.
Muhyeong raised his head and laughed.
“Ha. Wyvern?”
A grotesque wyvern, swarming with ghosts and imitating its appearance, dived down.
Kyaaaaa!!
An attack reminiscent of Doruji’s deadly charge that we fought just before.
A monster-like body that produces an impact similar to that of a meteorite just by falling down.
However, this speed was nothing to Muhyeong, who easily caught Do-base’s charge.
The intangible lightly dodged and scratched the wyvern’s side with the dagger.
Kigigigigeek. Pak!
“…”
The dagger he held to cut his side shattered.
It’s too hard.
An ordinary sword cannot pierce this body.
[Squeak-!!]
A wyvern with its side scratched flies into the sky with a gust of wind and then descends again.
Keying!
The intangible Jinryong Gibo shone.
The sword the size of his forearm held in his hand this time was the sword that made him laugh intangibly.
‘Absolutely for ordinary people.’
It’s very sturdy. A sword with a simple ability that increases in power the faster and stronger the wielder swings it.
Even though it has high performance just by looking at the description, this sword is said to be the absolute best for ordinary people. Lunar. Mana. This is because it cannot be strengthened with any other energy.
Just pure strength. Only the physical aspect of this sword is strengthened or not.
Therefore, it is a sword used only by ordinary people without talent.
Other items left behind by the matriarch may have room for magical research. This has nothing to do with magic.
As a result. This is a very good thing for the intangible.
No one else knows, but when handled by the intangible, this sword becomes the sword of God.
[Keek!]
The wyvern’s beak and the general’s absolute brushed each other.
It was a similar situation as before, but the result was completely different.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The feeling of splitting flesh clearly felt in an intangible hand.
[Kkisssss-!]
The wyvern howled in pain. From its beak to its side. Even the tail was split. Soon the wyvern was shattered into pieces or ice shards.
Shukak! Fuuuuuck!
Muhyeong flicked his lips with his tongue as ice particles bounced all over his body.
As far as this ordinary absolute is concerned with the intangible. Limited to cutting force. It was confirmed that Dre’s god-forged sword had a performance equivalent to that of the cutting sword.
[Oooooh!]
[Aaaaah!]
While cutting down the mountain of ice ghosts that were rushing at him like a mountain, the intangible, natural assassin fell into thought again.
‘I feel out of place.’
Why isn’t she joining this offensive?
The woman’s ghostly teleportation stabs are very annoying.
If the ghosts were to attack me while I was singing, I wouldn’t be able to respond no matter how intangible they were.
It was a ghost with that much fighting sense.
But why?
Because you were defeated by an intangible in the present world?
Or are you afraid that the intangible will use your heart?
No. Even if the intangible uses the mind world, the ghost can escape by teleportation.
Fighting together with these ghosts would definitely benefit those ghosts.
Or… Are they hoarding their strength for fear of Dre coming into this world?
Although that possibility is possible, numerous intangible experiences led to one answer.
The answer is. Because we can’t fight together.
“…”
Sigh. The incorporeal eye saw the zombies blocking it.
They are ghosts whose eyes turn to sightless subjects and who show murderous intent towards intangibles.
‘I’m not stopping you from going to that house.’
The place that the intangible is trying to reach will only end up being blocked by trying to kill it. It didn’t feel like it was stopping me from going to that house where the woman’s ghost was.
The guy who grabbed the whip earlier also had a strong feeling that he had caught the weapon as it flew by.
‘When I was young. ‘I studied a lot.’
Because I wanted to be recognized, I studied Grindel’s magic to its roots, and even learned about the lore of this site where Grindel Mansion was built. I even incorporated the entire story into my head.
Of course, I know the story of that ghost very well.
Even hypotheses about whether or not they exist that historians and scholars have developed. So much so that I memorized it all.
After leaving Grindel, things I had forgotten because I had no reason to remember them came to mind.
This question was raised in some hypothesis.
According to the customs of the village where the woman lived, once a judgment was made, her parents were to carry out the judgment.
Was that judgment held in front of people?
Also. What happened to the girl’s parents after they sentenced her daughter?
Under the circumstances, she probably froze to death along with the other villagers, but there was no accurate record in any of the tales about the parents of the woman who was abandoned by the baron.
There was even a record found that that village was the first to be destroyed. There was no record of the woman’s parents.
So some people came up with this guess.
The woman’s parents were actually trying to protect her, so perhaps they broke the law and were killed by angry villagers. So, after the woman’s vengeful spirits appeared, perhaps they were already dead and there are no records of them. Called.
Comprehensing all information. Guess. Deduction.
A natural assassin.
Weaknesses. Found.
A natural assassin who has killed countless giants, he is excellent at finding and stabbing his opponent’s weak points.
So far, there is only one person where this method has not worked. Now he’s the one who claims I’m the boss.
Muhyeong grinned, remembering that damn bastard’s face.
‘In the end, what needs to be done hasn’t changed.’
I have to go to that house.
Jiing. The intangible ring shone. And almost at the same time, the ghosts attached themselves to the intangible.
[Kaaaaa!]
[Kieee!]
썣썄죤 죣죣!!
Fingernails and teeth are flying around.
The intangible couldn’t escape and his entire body was torn apart… Slither. He transformed into Ryunar and disappeared.
The ghosts were shocked, and in the meantime, the incorporeal figure had already arrived at the target mansion.
A bead shined brightly in the middle of the fake intangible covered with ghosts. The next moment, it was loaded back into the intangible sub-space.
‘Doll beads’
Appearance exactly the same as the caster. Presence. Creates an illusion of energy.
However, the illusion cannot move at all from the spot and is fixed in the same shape as when it was activated and does not change. It even disappears in less than a second.
An object that cannot be used by anyone other than an intangible superhuman, as if it was tailor-made for him to use…
‘Stop.’
I don’t want to know any more.
The head of the family. Father. If I think about who prepared these magical tools and for what purpose, I feel like my mind will wander.
The intangible wields the absolute power of the ordinary… Kwakwakwakk!! The mansion was destroyed.
The walls of the mansion collapsed, revealing the interior.
A female ghost and another ghost that looked similar to her were standing next to her.
Although pale and thin, the ghost looks older than the female ghost.
That ghost is probably…
“Ah. Are you by any chance her mother?”
[Kwaaak!!]
The mother, Bingwi, roared and rushed towards the intangible, fishy voice.
Fast.
Maybe. Hero Even faster than Garcinido, the fastest person in the party.
The smile disappeared from the face of the intangible when he saw the incredible speed.
Kwaang!!
The hand holding the common man’s absolute tingled.
Cold sweat runs down my face.
‘…You’re strong!’
It’s just fast, but the speed and incredible strength are comparable to that female ghost’s instantaneous movement.
And it is much more aggressive than other ghosts, so it attacks without any regard for its own body.
The situation did not end there.
[Yeah…Boy…]
I heard a baby crying.
The one that Muhyang was most nervous about was this baby.
He quickly saw the female ghost’s stomach and was startled.
There was nothing in the stomach, which had already split open and had internal organs sticking out.
Thud…
I raised my head when I heard a vibration behind me.
A blue-skinned child, larger than a house, looked down at the intangible from above.
In terms of strength, the energy emanating from the gigantic baby was much stronger than the mother ghost.
“…Is this true?”
I was laughing brightly and then… Sigh. I lowered my palm.
Sigh…Jik!!
“…!!”
Invisible pressure and energy emanated from the palm, pressing on the intangible.
Meanwhile, her mother, Bing Gui, opened her mouth wide and tried to bite off the intangible nape of her neck.
Muhyeong glanced back.
The ice ghosts were running at random, fixing their gaze on the intangible.
‘It’s different from the reaction I expected.’
Because the intangible thinks. According to the story, the villagers and the female ghost cannot get along well.
Because it was probably her villagers who killed her while she was alive.
‘It’s so unreasonable.’
If Taegeukpae didn’t exist, I would have frozen just standing there at the beginning. Even if that’s not the case, you have to fight against hundreds of ghosts, each of whom has more power than the Demon Lord.
Not only that, there is a mother ghost and a baby ghost that are much more powerful than that female ghost.
The more unreasonable an ability seems, the more it has weaknesses. That’s Elunar’s common sense.
Does that mean that common sense does not apply to divine power or divine power?
‘No. Absolutely not.’
Divine power can be anything, but it is not omnipotent.
After all, it is a type of Ryunar.
The gods probably didn’t use folk tales for nothing.
It’s probably because that way you can maximize your spiritual power.
So much so that he had to take the long way back. Divine power is not perfect power.
There are definitely weaknesses.
Its weakness is… Lore. It is in itself.
Just like that…
“…Flaw.”
The intangible judgment upon hearing a certain sound was quick.
“Declaration of heart.”
The ultimate meaning of humanity. The only magic he recognized from his father was his ability to shatter this world.
[Kyaaa-!]
The baby smiled brightly and stretched out her palm.
Kkwajijijik-!
Surprisingly, the baby’s strength was suppressing the heart, and her mother’s Bing ears were tearing apart the intangible body in the meantime.
Sarrrr..
[Key?!]
The intangible body disappeared like a mirage.
The doll beads glowed in the air and moved to where they were supposed to be.
Baby Bing-gwi and her mother Bing-gwi are the ones they must all protect. I looked at the female ghost.
But the intangible was not there.
After stopping for a moment, the mother returned home and soon realized something on her face. “Ahh!” It roared.
Scream!!
There was the sound of a chain breaking.
And. Step by step. Step by step. Someone entered here from another room.
[Oh oh…]
It was a male ghost.
Baby. My mother. The female ghost froze.
The man… Pointed his finger at the female ghost and let out a silent roar outside.
The sound was just not audible to the intangible. It seemed like his people had clearly heard it.
As expected, the ice ghosts stopped all at once. And.
[[[Ooooo~!!!!!]]]
They all let out roars of anger and rushed towards the female ghost.
[Ah ah ah ah ah-!]
[Kyaaa!!]
The female Bingwi and the mother Bingwi rushed at the charging Bingwis, but for some reason she was not able to unleash the same force as before.
Instead, just by being touched by the ghosts, her entire body was broken and she struggled.
Even as her body was shattered, her mother and baby desperately stretched out their hands as they watched the female ghost being grabbed by the villagers and having her entire body torn apart.
Fuuuuuk!!
A particularly clear sound amidst all the commotion.
Behind the back of a female ghost. A dagger that pierced the heart.
“You. You were betrayed by your father.”
An intangible, calm voice rang out from the female ghost.
“But you can’t kill someone else’s father.”
[Keeeee!!]
The female ghost gathered all her strength to make a final struggle.
Self-destruction.
Revenge against this man who will kill him, going as far as erasing his own existence!!
‘I might die.’
The moment I thought, this ghost will definitely disappear now, but I don’t know if I will die too…
Hwaaaaa!
The power of this world has rapidly weakened.
The body of the female ghost, which was radiating strength, also shrunk.
The divine power that resided in her body was disappearing…
“…It was even faster, that bastard.”
It seemed that Yeo Dre had succeeded in killing God.
Muhyeong grinned, grabbed her normal absolute with both hands and aimed it at the female ghost.
“Ugh…”
The female ghost seemed to have accepted her death and her body lost strength.
Seeing that scene… Bingwi, who was chained to her. Her father Bing Gui chuckled.
The female ghost who had given up on everything opened her mouth and let out a roar of hatred.
“Aaaaah-!!”
Pow!!
The head of my father, Bing-gwi, hit the absolute limit of the common man and was shattered.
The female ghost who was screaming was startled.
“Yes.”
Muhyeong said bitterly, recalling Dre’s words.
“There are many parents in the world who would be better off without them. Like my mother.”
[…
The female ghost stared at her incorporeal form and then raised the corners of her mouth.
Just for a moment. It was not a zombie-like blue-skinned ghost, but a pretty, beautiful woman shedding tears.
Her face seemed to express gratitude.
“You are a beauty.”
Muhyeong grinned and swung her sword.
The female ghost did not resist.
Suddenly.
The female ghost’s head was cut cleanly and flew away, rolling around on her floor.
Damn! Her body disappears into ice, ice powder, and her eyes.
[Ugh…]
[Ah ah ah ah ah…]
The bodies of the crying baby and her ghost mother also turn into light.
The villagers had long since disappeared, screaming in pain.
The world itself disappears fleetingly…
Whiooooo…
When she came to her senses, the intangible was standing in front of the warehouse of Grindel Mansion.
The only difference from before is that one person has been added.
The man who was squatting in front of the warehouse and raised his hand to Muhyeong was his friend.
“Good work. Thanks to you, I got 2 up.”
“…What is he saying now.”
When I saw the guy sitting in front of me, I lost all my strength.
Intangible falls in front of Dre. He sat down.
