Chapter 1428 – Baekgye
Despite complaining, Teiria follows along well.
Even though they had some magical help, they can’t keep up with our speed.
“Hehe… Hehe… Hehe…”
Although I was out of breath, as if I was about to pass out.
On the other hand, L didn’t even lose his breath.
In the white world, I think L might have better stamina than me.
“Dre. Are you here?”
El looked at me and asked carefully.
Only white heat crackles and burns in the empty plain.
Nelf and Homun are nowhere to be seen.
“What is it? Is it just nonsense?”
I thought Teiria would complain, but surprisingly she has a good voice.
The face looks somewhat relieved.
I shook my head and walked forward and stretched out my hand.
Tup.
A hard feel that can be clearly felt in the hand.
For a moment, I thought the air was shaking. Two figures appeared where there was nothing.
Homun was sitting down with a surprised face, and Nelf was lying down with his eyes closed, as if he had fainted.
Pure white light flowed from Nelf’s chest and surrounded the two.
“Dre…?”
“Are you okay, Homun?”
Homun opened and closed her mouth, then lowered her head.
Looks like you have a lot to talk about.
First. Let’s do what we need to do first.
We don’t know how long Nelf’s Ryunar will last, so these two must also be protected by the Black Church.
I don’t know if my colleague, protected by the statue the Archbishop spoke of, just needs to be recognized, or if I have to say something definite, so it’s safer to get an answer.
“You two are my party members, right?”
“…Okay.”
As the answer came back a while later, a dark energy was also present in Homun and Nelf.
I was worried that protection would not apply to Nelf who fainted. Thank god.
“If you come outside now, the heat won’t reach you two. Can you come out of there?”
“I’m sorry. I can’t destroy this shield with my own strength.”
Also.
The reason Homun was sitting there in a daze was partly because of the heat, but more than that, I think it was because he was unable to break down this defense shield that Nelf had deployed.
This white energy. Faikatsu’s Ryunar is not just hard.
It had an eerie aura, as if everything was turning into nothingness.
I slowly reach out and touch it with my lunar. I tried to check the ingredients.
Slurp.
But. The white film disappeared before I could check the ingredients.
“…That’s amazing, Dre.”
Homun said helplessly.
Although I didn’t do it, I lifted Nelf first without saying anything.
As I was trying to put it on my back, a light suddenly caught my eye.
This round thing shining on her chest. It is also the soul of the king.
Can I take it?
As I stretched out my hand to her, I suddenly thought that I shouldn’t touch a sleeping girl without permission.
“Can someone please help Nelf?”
“I will do it.”
As Teyria raised her staff and cast a spell, Nelf’s body suddenly levitated and floated above her head.
It’s convenient to have a wizard.
That’s because Kaiemon is more convenient.
I said, glancing at Tayria fiddling with her wand.
“Let’s get out of here first.”
Although he may have been isolated for a few days, Homun woke up without showing any signs of hardship.
There was a deep sense of guilt on her face as she stood next to me.
I was worried and as I continued to stare, she opened her mouth.
“Raeband is dead.”
“…”
Homun took her first step, and I followed her and asked.
“What happened? Why did Waikatsu, who said he was going to scout, fight against the northern army and end up collapsing with the king?”
“…Due to some fortuitous circumstances, we came into conflict with the King of the North.”
Some random circumstances, I mean.
After reading ‘consideration’ in Homun’s heart, I listened without asking for details.
“Faikatsu was strong. The king was stronger than anyone could have imagined, but he still took the lead and pushed ahead. But… The sky suddenly turned white.”
Homun gritted his teeth.
“…It was a monster at first.”
“Monster?”
“Unusual white monsters that I had never seen before poured out and attacked everything around them indiscriminately.”
“If it’s indiscriminate, what about the King of the North?”
Homun nods his head at my words.
“Each one of them was as powerful as an elite monster… Even though they were Faikatsu, their intervention was too fatal when they were at a loss due to the fight with the king… They chose to run away.”
But even escaping was close to impossible.
The monsters were fast, and troops continued to be replenished from the sky.
“Rabband, the fastest and best at running away… He was injured while fighting in the outskirts to try to get us to escape. Everything was fine up to that point. A huge white thing that I thought was the sky suddenly fell to the ground… And everything “It turned completely white.”
“…Homun managed to be safe.”
“It’s thanks to Nelf. The Ryunar of Waikatsu that came out of that kid protected me. Normally, I would have been able to save Raeband, but I got injured on my leg. I couldn’t get into the shield in time, and right in front of my eyes… Damn it.”
Homun closed his eyes tightly.
She seemed very mentally challenged, but she still had to ask.
“Nelf has the king’s soul. What happened to this?”
Homun took a moment to catch her breath and then she answered.
“The head of the family killed him.”
The matriarch’s sister?
“…I almost did. When her subordinates died indiscriminately, she became so angry that she risked her life and fought the king. “The king was more focused on the white monsters than on us, and he lamented something.”
Lament?
“I’m sorry. I didn’t hear what you said clearly. Anyway… The matriarch almost finished off that skeleton guy. She gathered her familiars and made a huge spear and pierced her chest. She was also seriously injured by the king’s sword. But for now. “I survived. But… A white bomb poured down and engulfed the king and the head of the family.”
“…”
“Nelf saw that too.”
All I can do is sigh.
There was silence.
Tereia too. Even her breathing was cautious.
Homun softly opened her mouth.
“My guess is that since the head of the family who had the most stake in killing the king died, her blood relatives may have been haunted.”
I stared at the door in silence.
She smiled bitterly at my repeated worried looks.
“We must have seen each other die a lot… Maybe it’s because none of us have died since you joined. It’s so miserable right now… It’s shocking.”
It’s sad to hear such a self-deprecating voice.
“I couldn’t do anything. It’s been a long time since I felt this helpless… It’s been a long time since I remembered the obvious fact that if you’re weak, you can’t even decide where to die.”
I never thought Homun, who was always cool and calm, would be this depressed.
I patted her on the shoulder.
“You’ve worked hard, Homun.
“…I’m sorry. I won’t complain anymore.”
“No. It’s my first time seeing you weak, so I’m actually happy.”
I expected someone to glare at me because it was such a trash remark, but they kept quiet.
Dre. Shy.
“I don’t know how to look at Kaitsu’s face… Ah, I’m sorry. I stopped without realizing it…”
“Well, don’t worry too much.”
“Huh?”
“This is just a guess, though.”
I stopped talking.
It’s not to make you angry, it’s just because I sensed a presence.
Flutter flutter.
The sound of clothes fluttering heard in the sky.
When I looked up, people wearing red priestly robes were falling from the sky as if they were surrounding us.
Thump thump thump!!
Kuaaa-!!
They all landed on the ground and surrounded us, each emitting red waves from their bodies.
Just by looking at them, you can tell that each and every one of them is very strong.
It looks like a weak boss.
There are about twenty such people.
This appearance. I saw it in the materials provided by Waikatsu.
This is a group called the Red Monster who declared that they would destroy the white doctrine.
And in the middle of it all. There was someone who walked out with confidence. He was the Red Tower Lord Kranium.
“Oh. Are you still alive? Red Tower Lord.”
Cranium raised his eyebrows at my sarcasm, made an angry face, and held out his hand.
“Give it to me.”
“What?”
“You have the king’s soul. Both of them.”
You don’t know about the King of the North.
‘Didn’t I tell you’ up to that point?
“You don’t like it?”
“If I don’t like it, I’ll have to die here.”
Kranium and I glared at each other.
“With your skills?”
“Do you think this is Elunar? It looks like you have something to hide, but even considering that, do you think you can fight while protecting those seriously injured women?”
Cranium refers to nelf and homun.
Homun-eun ha. Click your tongue and pop it!! I kicked my feet in the air at a speed that was almost invisible.
El was spewing out Ryunar so that he could shoot a light ball at any time.
Kranium looked at us and clicked his tongue.
“You bad guys. You don’t know how to face reality.”
What are you talking about?
A red priest wearing a particularly ornate necklace who was standing next to him joined in his lament.
“Red Devil. If you give me the command any time, I will steal the souls from those ignorant people.”
“Stay still.”
The priest is startled and happy at the annoying tone of voice.
My eyes lit up.
Kranium, that bastard. You’re looking down on NPCs.
They may be aware that their level of intelligence is comparable to that of a human, but maybe it’s because they have a shitty temperament. They are treating them as less than human beings and as easy tools.
The ‘red monsters’ are beings with emotions and thoughts.
I could use this.
That was when I thought about it.
Papapot.
Three red monsters surrounded Teiria.
El reflexively tried to shoot a light ball, but I blocked it.
“Dre?”
“Hmm.”
I smiled, and Teirya looked straight at me.
Kranium grinned and said to her.
“Good job guiding you, Tereia. Now bring that woman here.”
A moment of silence.
Soon El gritted his teeth.
“I knew it would be like this. You vulgar wizard.”
“…”
“I will rip you into pieces and throw them as dog food. Do you understand?”
…
Wow.
L. I’m scared of everything.
Kranium snorted.
“Hmph. I guess your friend’s life is important, right?”
“Nelf. She is a descendant of heroes. Don’t look down on our teenage family.”
As if El would shoot her if she moved even a little more, she moved her light sphere threateningly and surrounded Theiria with red monsters.
Kranium frowned, and soon it was bubbling. Lava boiled from her body.
“Young girl from Grise. She only believes in her family’s status and is being picky.”
“Aren’t you the one hiding in the butt of the Magic Tower who only believes in status?”
“You bitch…!”
Kranium gestured to Teiria.
“Teyria!! Come here quickly!!”
Discomfort.
She knew that Tayria was contacting the enemy tower owner, and she knew that she was receiving some orders.
Every time I touch her staff, I can feel faint mana.
So. I expected this kind of backlash situation, but this. Isn’t the plot too rushed?
Even if you betray, you have to betray when it’s crucial, Kranium. Why are you being so urgent?
There is something.
The moment I was contemplating the identity of that something, Teiria took her steps.
With her El glaring at her like she was going to kill her and her Homun clicking her tongue, Tayria suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Teyria?”
She was silent at the curious voice of enemy envy, and then spoke cautiously.
“Lord of the tower, don’t do that, join forces with Iza…”
It was a creeping voice, but everyone heard it.
After a moment of silence. Jeoktapju gathered his eyebrows.
“What do you mean? Join forces? Are you saying we should all survive together? That man is so cruel!! Do you think he will spare us if we leave this world?”
Kranium points at me and spits.
You know very well.
“That man must be killed in this world!! He must not be allowed to grow any further! Don’t get attached to him just because we hung out together for a little while. He is like a snake, pretending to be gentle on the outside but sharpening his sword on the inside!”
That’s… To some extent true.
Because while I was attached to her Tayria, I was also thinking of killing her if I made a mistake.
Tayria glanced at me.
I just smiled at the look in his eyes that wanted me to say something, to reassure him, to give him trust.
The choice is yours.
You take care of it too.
Tayria sighs… And closes her eyes.
That moment.
Blah blah!!
A huge pillar of ice blew away the three red monsters that were guarding Terreia.
Despite being surprised by the powerful force, the three corrected their posture in the air and landed, but by then Teiria had already deployed her defensive magic to prevent anyone from approaching.
Okay.
The ice pillar was written by Teiria.
“Teyria…?”
Tayria spoke with her head down, looking at the Red Tower’s disbelieving eyes.
“That person is abnormal… But still, he’s not that heartless… If we just give in to each other a little…”
There was silence for a moment.
Silent Kranium. Soon, hot bubbles and heat bubbled up from his body.
“You betrayed me. “You’re going to stick with that guy?” “That’s not true…”
Cranium’s brow relaxed slightly at the sound of Teyria’s delicate voice.
“…Think again, Terreia. If you’re wise, wouldn’t you know that? Do you think they can survive against me and the red monsters…?”
“If they are really on your side.”
Cranium was startled by my words, and the so-called red monsters made angry faces.
The look in their eyes as if they dare to doubt their loyalty.
Good performance.
If there is one thing I felt about Baekgye, it was AI. In other words, the deeper the thought, the more powerful it was.
Each person gathered here has a strength similar to Miyao, the administrator of the Black Order, and also smells like a person.
It appears that Kranium was simply viewed as an entity that could issue complex commands.
No.
Maybe he, too, is having a hard time leading the red monsters.
The reason he can lead those powerful NPCs.
That’s right. The Red Devils owe their reputation to fame.
A being that annihilated the army commander, killed two white kings, and even wounded the white knight.
It can only be an idol to the red monsters who are hostile to the white army and hate white things.
Even the power of red. Since he also used fire, he may have felt some degree of sympathy.
Kranium claims that the red devil is himself and uses the red monster as his subordinate.
Maybe. The expectations that the red monsters had for Kranium must have been enormous.
Since I hadn’t shown anything for quite a long time, I would have been anxious and unbearable if I didn’t show something.
So you want to steal my soul from me right now?
“Everyone.”
Red devils staring at me. Only then did Kranium startle and try to shout something.
I spoke first.
“The Red Devil is me.”
“Dog sound!!”
What kind of bullshit are the red monsters like Kranium said? It was an expression like this.
“I have two king’s souls, and I am the one who came first to find the third king’s soul. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
The person who assassinated the king does not have the king’s soul. Strange, I have the soul of a king.
Indeed. A ripple of agitation appeared on the faces of the red monsters.
“More than anything, the Red Devil uses lava? I use fire, but lava is still…”
“Shut up you guy!!”
Just as Kranium was about to rush at me. A red priest who looked like a leader stepped in front of him.
“Demon.”
He shouted in a desperate voice.
“Proof!!”
“”Proof!!””
The red monsters had faces full of loyalty, willing to sacrifice their lives as long as they showed evidence.
Kranium ground his teeth. I giggled.
“Everyone. Would you think that the person who killed four corps commanders and two kings would attach a spy to him and be betrayed by that spy?”
“You guy! Shut up!!”
“Why? Are you upset because you were abandoned by your lover?”
Cranium’s eyes rolled back at my words.
That’s when he clenched his fist and was about to spit lava at me.
“Until there~”
I heard a fucking voice.
We all turned our heads, and suddenly there was a man standing there.
Strong.
“Eight years junior. Give me the three souls and the key.”
“Oh my. You have good ears too. Where did you hear that?”
Papa papap!!
A white light flashed, and before I knew it, over a hundred wizards were standing behind him.
In addition, there are four tower owners among the wizards.
Cheongtapju. Euntopju. Geumtapju, Hwangtapju.
For some reason, the Golden Tower Lord and the Yellow Tower Lord were standing with the others, keeping a little distance between them and the wizards. The people standing around the two Tower Lords were wearing yellow, neat clothes that a nobleman would wear.
A yellow heat-like glow flows gently through their eyes and hair.
I also saw that appearance in the data.
Are they yellow filth?
Checking. Kang Baek-han said in a triumphant voice.
“You saw the troop carrier, right? Just hand it over. Then, you might be accepted as a subordinate.”
Euntapju growled at Kang Baekhan’s words.
“Don’t do that, just kill him.”
Geumtapju was shocked at those words.
“No. Over there…”
The Lord of the Golden Tower was troubled and stretched out his hand. Hwangtapju sighs and closes his eyes.
Cheongtapju was silently deploying his magic and preparing to move at any time.
Oh fuck.
Nothing comes easy.
At that time, L’s hair stood up backwards.
“You trash…!”
Coo coo coo coo coo!!!
Ryunar is a force that is strongly influenced by emotions.
Her anger gathered enough power to shake the ground, creating a huge sphere of light like the sun.
“Just lay a finger on Dre!”
“Haha. You’re full of energy, Miss Grise.”
Kang Baek-han was still relaxed.
I stroked my chin and thought of several escape routes, coming up with the most reasonable one.
I’ve already used it twice. As long as you succeed, it is a very effective method no matter how many times you use it.
“L.”
When I put my hand on her shoulder, she blushes and looks shy, as if asking me when I’ve ever been angry.
“Uh, d-dre. Why?”
“Wait a moment.”
Kang Baek-han smiled as if he was satisfied with my reaction.
“Yes. The sooner you grasp reality…”
“The key lies with the Marving tribe, the White Rabbit.”
Kang Baek-han’s face hardened at my words.
“She’s still around here.”
“How would that stupid woman know about the key?”
“When I was surrounded by them. “I didn’t want to fight, so I gave him the information.”
Baekhan Kang opened her eyes sharply.
Eyes that doubt my words.
“For your information, I can never give you my soul. If you want to steal my soul from me, I’d rather fight. Looking at it, the level of wizards is much worse than last time. “Let’s give it a try.”
The wizards looked angry, but it was so bad, so what could you do?
The tower owners are dangerous and powerful people, but looking at the gold tower owners and the yellow tower owners with hard and reluctant expressions, it seems that the tower owners do not have a unified opinion.
“…”
Kang Baek-han looks at me intently, as if gauging the true meaning of my words.
With one hand, he stopped Euntapju from urging him to attack quickly, as if he were convulsing.
“…Let’s talk for a moment. Let’s talk.”
“I don’t really want to do it.”
It was that moment.
Far away. However, a new sign appeared close enough to be seen with the naked eye.
Everyone’s heads turned at the unusually disturbing presence.
“Daejaang-!!”
The white rabbit was hopping around and shaking something in his hand.
That was the key.
A key that emits white snowflakes.
She said as she looked at me with a happy face.
“I found the key! I’m the captain’s subordinate now, right?”
“…”
“…”
Kang Baek-han and I looked at each other in silence and grinned.
Fuck you.
“L.”
I whispered into El’s ear.
“In the direction I’m pointing. Shoot that thing.”
“Uh, yes… I understand…!”
Trembling, go to the coordinates I pointed at! El shoots out a sun-like sphere.
The light ball flew not into the middle of the group of wizards… But barely passed by the left end of the group.
Their complexions turned pale.
“This is crazy!”
“Oh my god!”
The wizards standing on the left threw themselves to avoid the light ball.
The light sphere is making a loud noise in the distance. It went far away.
“Ahahaha! That’s poor workmanship!!”
Euntapju laughed hysterically.
That bitch. Have you abandoned the expressionless concept?
And his insight is also insane.
“…What did you do now?”
Kang Baek-han noticed something and asked in an anxious voice. I grinned.
And.
Coo coo coo coo coo…
I heard the sound of an explosion in the distance.
[Ooooo!
Rattling rattling.
A roar that shook the earth shook my eardrums.
Some magicians with weak physical strength even fell because they were dizzy.
Kang Baek-han shouted.
“What did you do!!”
“Whatever.”
I smiled and pointed my finger into the distance.
Thud! Thud! Thud! A white monster the size of a mountain running madly in this direction while making a loud noise.
“I called a raid mob.”
