Chapter 1455 – Baekgye
The days in Baekgye pass by my mind.
A waitress at a large bar. Arena gave information that the four kings’ souls must be collected.
But. There are very few NPCs in this world who know that fact.
Even those who are gray, who can easily obtain information through the item information window or quests, do not know this information unless they are a high-level player like Kranium.
The fact that a single waitress knew information that even the high-ranking members of the White Legion knew little about… I thought it was a game-like allowance.
Nevertheless, a part of my head thought that Arena was something special.
Very low probability. It’s a thought bordering on delusion, but isn’t it like the incarnation of the White Knight? She even imagined it.
Because her aura was somehow similar to the white knight I saw in the cabin.
My delusional imagination was correct.
I felt a similar sense of pleasure as when I solved a difficult puzzle, and at the same time, I laughed out loud at the unexpected information.
[The black beast regains its strength.]
The white knight and the black beast are the same?
If you think about it, there were hints here and there.
Just a few of the quests I looked at showed the White Legion in despair by seeing the hidden side of the White Knight.
The game was constantly letting us know that there was something hidden in the White Knight.
The Black Dragon King of the lowest level of the Black Earth also said that he was waiting for the Black Beast, implying that the Black Beast is still alive.
Baekgye’s past as mentioned by the archbishop was also questionable.
If the white one is strong enough to rule everything alone, why was the white knight needed, and where is the black beast?
If I thought about it carefully, I could guess it.
No. I think I probably noticed it to some extent.
Although I was surprised. Because I wasn’t shocked.
Crrrr.
Arena. No. The appearance of the black beast continues to change.
The skin is gray and covered in wild tattoos. The whites of the eyes were black.
“Uh…?”
From afar, Nelf and other Hwaikatsu. And then I hear the Mabing tribe’s groans of confusion.
Okay. That figure… No matter who sees it, it resembles the Mabing tribe.
What makes them different from other Mabing people are that, in addition to human ears, they also have canine ears sticking out on top of their heads and a fluffy-looking tail.
If you look closely, it seems that it resembles the white rabbit, the current chieftain of the Mabing tribe.
The white rabbit was repeatedly opening and closing its mouth.
The magic tower wizards also forgot to attack and whispered.
And. The player’s shock was nothing compared to the shock of the residents of the White World.
“The White Knight… Is the pinnacle of black existence?”
“…”
Red team. The yellow team leader had a bewildered look on his face, asking what the hell was going on.
They too. Not to mention the people of the Black Church who believed in the Black Beast.
They were active all over the place, but they were frozen and couldn’t even move.
“… Black Goddess?”
The archbishop’s low murmur.
The people of the Black Church hesitated. At that moment, the black beast saw the church.
Dump!! Flutter, flutter!!
Church members quickly kneel down and put their hands together to pray.
The archbishop stands, but he too opens his mouth wide in shock.
That moment.
Flash-!
Four energies were felt from four directions, shooting towards the black goddess.
Silver spirit. Photosphere. Yellow gear wheels, red fireball.
Squeak!!
Suddenly. Black spray rose around the black beast.
When the spray of water touched the four energies, the energies disappeared like melting snow.
“What are you doing now?!”
“Attack quickly!!”
Two of the four who attacked. The wizards who hesitated at the shouts of Arylgear and Teiria raised their staffs.
That moment. Just!! The black beast snapped its fingers.
Kuaaaaa-!!
A black pillar rose up toward the church members who were kneeling.
“Aaaaah-!”
“Ugh…!!”
Their eyes turned red. Rumble-!! It ran with movements reminiscent of a beast or a zombie.
Some stood in front of the Black Goddess and became shields, while others ran towards the wizards.
A situation where people who were on the same side just now rush in.
Maybe. If they were magicians who originally pursued efficiency, they might have fired their magic without much hesitation.
But for this month. Whether they liked it or not, there was some hesitation among them as they lived together, and during that hesitation, the Black Church clashed with the team members.
“Kiaak!”
“Kaaaaa!”
Howling like an animal.
The people of the church who had lost their senses did not even care about getting hurt on their bodies.
He behaved like an animal, biting his cane and scratching his forearms with his fingernails.
I stared at the black beast.
She smiled bitterly at my gaze.
“If you accept my power into your body, you can control it.”
I turned my head and looked at the archbishop.
The archbishop was staggering and clutching his face.
The black beast smiled brightly at him.
“That’s great mental strength.”
“Ugh…”
Pugh-!!
The archbishop lifted the spear he was holding upside down and stabbed himself in the chest.
Blood flowed from his mouth. Soon he was whisked away. He got down on his knees.
He looked at me and said something with his mouth.
That means…
Use it.
Tuk. His head fell down.
… Died.
The leaders of the Red Team and Yellow Team, who were fighting against the Black Church, looked in disbelief.
“… The black one?”
“Oh my god.”
Then. At some point, the Black Church people suddenly stopped.
It wasn’t like I came to my senses or anything.
When you see a wizard trying to use magic while they are still, they are rushing at you tenaciously.
Even in the act of retreating to gain distance, they rushed at him.
Other than that, he was calm.
Everyone noticed that and showed no hostility.
There was a lull in the battlefield for a moment.
The beautiful voice of a black beast rang out in a field that was engulfed in silence except for the animal-like panting of the Black Church people.
“I wanted to talk calmly for a moment. Oppa Dre. Ah… Actually, I’m older than you, but I’ll just call you oppa, right?”
The mischievous smile of the black beast is that of a waitress at a bar I know. It was the same as Arena’s bright smile.
I also smiled and asked.
“What story?”
“Setting. Worldview story. Although I committed an act of violating my authority, my love for Baekgye is sincere… I should tell the truth about the world to those who have come this far.”
The black beast looked around at us and started talking.
“Isn’t this a widely known story? In ancient times when there was nothing, white everything came and enriched the world, and the original owner, the black beast, interfered with the white everything to protect its position.”
“The power of the black beast was so powerful that all white people were in danger. Then, a white knight suddenly appeared and protected the world.”
“Huh? Red Monster. Isn’t that true? By the way, you’re trying to say that right now, aren’t you?”
“A long time ago. The black beast, that is, when I ruled this world. All the white creatures from this world came and fought.”
“Actually, it wasn’t a battle, it was a one-sided assault. I lost miserably.”
“But since I am a true god who is the same being as the world, not even everything white could kill me.”
“All white thought of another way.”
“That is the seal. I became the representative of all white under the name of the White Knight. Since then, I have kept this world white.”
“Skipping the detailed stories, such as the appointment of the four kings and the transformation of the creatures who were originally my children. After a long time, a problem arose. My power, which was originally the master of this world even though it was rotten, was slowly restored, and the power of all white things was restored. It was removed little by little.”
“The reason why the world is unstable these days is that the white knight, who is the agent of all white, which is the world itself, is the basis. The power of the black beast, which was originally the world itself, has been revived, and the two worlds are mixing.”
“When I am resurrected, the once white world will turn black again. Powerful beings that were forcibly sealed with white power will also be resurrected.”
After the black beast has finished its rather long story, the white snowflakes gradually turn gray.
“If you defeat me, you can walk through the passage beyond that snowflake and get everything white. Well, if you meet the conditions.”
Conditions?
An unexpected word. And before the white dwarf came here, she raised her eyebrows, recalling her comment that she would be able to get all the white things without having to fight, and she continued.
“Originally. This is where the escape event occurs. To attack me, I need powerful beings who have released the white seal I mentioned earlier. In particular, I need a warrior from the sky who rivaled the goddess in strength alone.”
Arena smiled apologetically.
“I saw you talking…”
“Yes. I will not let you go. I have already committed an act of exceeding my authority.”
Sigh. The black beast took a fighting stance.
“I did things like discard most of the settings and dispatch the White King to a single player. Now, I have no hesitation. Ah, I got a good idea!”
The black beast smiled and said as if he was happy.
“Expanding the white world causes various errors in the settings… In order to handle the rampage of black beasts, we have no choice but to expand the world! With this, we can eliminate the settings errors!”
“… Why are you trying to expand the White World? It’s already been done well enough?”
In response to my question, she um… Groaned and then laughed awkwardly.
“Secret.”
“You look like the Mabing tribe.”
“It’s a secret about that too. If it’s game-related, I’ll tell you as much as I want, but it’s a real story.”
A real story.
Arena, no way. Are they from the Mabing tribe?
Ancient Mabing people?
At that time. “But.” And the black beast smiled charmingly.
“If I can get them to enter Phase 2, then I’ll give you a reward. How about that?”
You’re provoking me.
Why is there no proper teenage family quest?
Clear sky or cold weather. It happens too often that a being belonging to a quest changes the contents of the quest arbitrarily.
“You have to fight anyway, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. But don’t worry. Due to the setting created by the progenitor himself, I am unstable due to the combination of the white everything and the power of the black beast, so there are no gimmicks such as summoning subordinates or keeping an eye on me.”
I pointed at the church members with a puzzled look. Isn’t piloting a kind of summoning of subordinates?
The black beast burst into laughter.
“Okay then. Shall we begin now?”
Pair.
The black beast clapped its hands.
Wiggle.
The bodies of the Black Church members swelled up in deformed forms.
Puppuppuppuffpuffpuffpuffpuffpuff-!
Everything exploded in a black explosion.
Even Miyao, who healed my wounds many times.
Everyone died.
Wow-!
The cutting sword, I don’t know if it was impulsive or cold-hearted, flew towards the black beast’s neck.
Almost at the same time, the golden curtain strangled the black beast.
Geumtapju stretches out his hands and looks triumphant.
A perfect connection in my opinion.
Squirt!!
The feet of the black beast. Black spray rose like lava exploding.
The rising spray soon took on a human shape, like a human shadow, and in its hand was a sword.
Black light on the sword. And with its numerous properties, it became an all-purpose sword.
Is that… Kaitz’s sword?
Chukakakak!! Kaang-!
The cutting sword and the shadow sword canceled each other out.
Even as I threw away the sword, my eyes continued to capture the black beast.
It was supposed to be like that.
“…”
It’s not in front of you.
No. Too fast.
“… Huh?”
A startled groan heard from far away.
The person in charge of Waikatsu’s fortress, who was preparing for an attack.
His heart was pierced by the hand of a black beast.
Paang!!
When the black beast withdrew its hand, its body turned into light and boom! They were scattered in all directions.
Shake.
Only the soul of the gray person who fell to the floor. It showed me that what just happened was real.
“I’ll say it again. Whether it’s summoning a subordinate or giving it to me, I don’t use anything.”
Grinning. With a seductive and dangerous smile. She said, licking her nails with her tongue.
“That kind of crappy stuff. I don’t need it.”
