Noru， Master of Cheokcheok in Another World 542

Chapter 542 – Pyramid of Incarnation (7)

─Pu-wook.

Without hesitation, I stabbed the sword I had seized into the assassin’s heart.

Then, darkness and negative mana were sucked into the blade. The dark-mana of the young Assassin Captain was being absorbed.

It was as if my spear had sucked up the soup.

After spending enough time, he drew out his sword. There was no blood on the blade, and the punctured heart healed in an instant. It was the effect of this sword-shaped magic item.

I looked at the tip of the knife and said calmly.

—Symptoms like that are often seen even by people who use ancient relic-level demonic swords or demonic spears.

─Khehehe. There is a clear difference between a black magic user who uses the power of a tool and a real black magician.

——Even with the blessing of the hunting god, I can’t tell the former apart, but I’m confident that I can detect it with my intuition.

I clicked his tongue, recalling what he had said.

‘It’s a bitch that the cheesy bird notices. I missed it with my eyes wide open.’

These guys must have hid their identities this way until now.

At that level, Optum and the other hounds seemed to be able to tell them apart somehow, but I just missed it when I cast Corentus’ leather magic.

Even if you happen to see it, you wouldn’t have regarded it as an adventurer with a cursed weapon.

It’s not like Optum doesn’t have the right to make surprise inspections, and if it did, it would be a witch hunt.

〈Store dark and negative mana in weapons? That’s a good way. Just as you are not a wizard if you cannot use magic, you are not a warlock if you lose the power of black magic. This camouflage method must have been your top secret.”

〈Heeuk, heeuk… !〉

The assassination captain gasped for breath as his face turned to porridge. Look at that motherfuckin’ eyes trembling.

No wonder, this elite Daegaltong Kang Buk-ho’s thoughts were exactly right.

〈… Now, that’s the conclusion.〉

Let’s put an end to the mystery show. ─Quack! I stuck my sword to the side of the bastard’s neck.

〈Equinox has a certain goal. That’s why you collect dark and negative mana, and you were influenced by him while interpreting the contents of the book. Because of this, he took his soul as a mortgage and treated himself as a slave.〉

The assassin’s breath became rough. His eyes had been bloodshot for a long time. In front of him, his comrades scoured and the blood that flowed down his pants, but the youngster, who didn’t care about anything, trembled as if his throat was strangled.

Do you want to hide that common goal?

It’s hard to understand.

‘Exploring the pyramids with tight camouflage is part of that, isn’t it? I just need to ask your souls what exactly the goal is, so let’s move on for now.〉

While talking, I pulled out another soul and extracted her memories.

Failed. She didn’t kill her soul instantly, but she died before her memories could be extracted. The curse had eroded the soul.

No problem. If you fail, save it at the next opportunity.

‘Failure is the mother of success.’

In other words, those who repeat failure are a kind of birthing machine.

‘I hope that this incident will help me realize loving-kindness and motherhood, and in the next world I will be reincarnated as a great queen ant.’

I threw the body away. Support Evie.

“But when I think about it, it’s strange. No matter what you come here for, it’s useless if you can’t return to the present world. It’s strange that he knew of Sehetefibra’s proposal in advance.〉

“So I changed my mindset. Like there is a separate means of resurrection. Looking at the direction of thinking like that, the curse on their body also includes magic to retrieve the soul? So that I can be resurrected like a Corutus guy.〉

I put my finger up. Of course, I destroyed that magic with my soul intact.

I once said to the leader of the Satis cult.

─I see. Certainly there may be warlocks who will gather for the treasures of the Pyramid. And the base of Is also considered an undiscovered pyramid.

An undiscovered pyramid is a great place to hide.

That’s why it was said that , Which did not come out even when people searched the desert like teeth, was believed to be in the pyramids that had not been reported yet.

But the truth is that it wasn’t.

‘Immortalis is mainly active in Narmer-Nile, but it means that he was not hiding in the shadows of this country.’

I am already seeing the correct answers with my own eyes.

This unreal world.

A paradise where the souls of the dead Pharaoh rest until they are resurrected.

In other words, it is a bunker for the soul and a passageway connecting the present world and the underworld.

The Pyramid of Niflheim.

These guys were abusing a feature that all the pyramids of Narmer-Nile would share.

If there is a way to return to reality, the stronghold built in this frigid hell will become an impregnable fortress.

Where is that only?

Come to think of it, there was more to it than that.

‘I came to Niflheim after killing Diavolo. That itself is strange.’

The souls of the dead fall into the underworld.

I didn’t even doubt it because it was such an obvious proposition, but now that I look at it, it was fucking funny.

It was a magic created by Equinox to retrieve the mana of darkness and yin, so why did the soul fall into Niflheim?

If it was according to the laws of nature because its magic was neutralized, then it wouldn’t make sense for me to be dragged into a mess.

Conflicting causal relationships. The conclusion from there is simple.

〈–Of course, Equinox is also here in Niflheim.〉

What if Equinox’s soul retrieval magic didn’t go in the wrong direction even though it took the wrong target?

That’s why I was brought here, and what if I wasn’t dragged right in front of Equinox because of the unfinished magic?

If that’s the case, that’s fucking ridiculous.

‘Maybe that bastard is already crawling inside the pyramid. If you entrust it to slaves with poor skills, even the gnomes will be anxious.”

─Get it! I scattered the personal information of That I had taken out of my bosom.

There is no one who looks like Equinox in this document that I bought with money.

If darkness and negative mana could be stored separately, there was a high possibility that he himself was in the pyramid. Even if his face is known, he prays that it is enough to just cover up his skin.

Do not know.>

The papers I sprayed were soaked in blood. I grinned.

The assassination commander made no reply.

You know. What will the answer to this question be?

And, the curse of Equinox did not tolerate his petty deceit.

〈Heo-eok, hee-eok… Wow! Come on!! 〉

His eyes, which could neither affirm nor deny, suddenly revealed the whites of his eyes.

The assassin’s mouth, which had been exhaling like mad, opened wide. Black mana poured out of his mouth as if a tidal wave had risen. The curse of silence was activated.

─Sigh!! The black shadow was cut through the edge of my spear. The assassin commander’s soul also perished.

If it had been completely in vain, the curse would not have been triggered.

I smiled, then glared at the window, frowning like a manic-depressive patient.

‘… Anyway, this bastard seems to be getting sharper.’

The first time I killed him and the time I killed the assassin, the taste was clearly different.

Is it being strengthened while absorbing dark and negative mana? Ominously.

‘Oh shit, that’s it. Anyway, I have more things to do, and I’m sure I’ll be super busy.’

I stroked my chin as I dealt with the rest of them.

Here is my list of things to do in order:

1. Pass the trial of Sehetefibra.

2. Meanwhile, find the warlocks disguised as an expedition and kill them.

3. Practice with their souls to perfect the technique of extracting only memories while avoiding the curse.

‘──And find Equinox hiding in this pyramid.’

It is difficult. To be honest, the odds are low. It might be better to just find out and not fight.

“… Still, collisions will be hard to avoid.”

Without Equinox’s resurrection method or the help of Sehetefibra, I can’t return to this world, so what should I do?

Anyway, it’s not something to be done by standing there blankly.

I took out a note. It was my personal notebook, different from the one I keep in the subspace.

I wrote down the information I received from the 4 members here. It would help with navigating the stairs. Now that the passage conditions have been met, wouldn’t it be just a matter of finding the entrance to the next layer?

─Glance.

As I walked, I looked up at the sky. Sehetefibra shows no signs of appearing.

You probably won’t be able to observe all the sights of this world at the same time. In my experience, that’s for sure.

Then, until she notices the problem, she will have to act as a lone professor slayer.

I muttered as I tightened my collar.

“… Now it’s starting to look a bit more survival-like.”

─Ugh. Changi, who had transformed into a bracelet, seemed to tremble as if responding to my words.

Let’s have some restraint, Ssuppallum.

I get sick if I keep eating strange things. Algan?
