Chapter 727 – The Sun Covers the Sky (2)
When I turned Odin’s eyes off, the meeting of the expedition was quite heated.
〈To be exact, it’s slightly above the middle part. They say you have to move quite a bit through the wilderness.〉
〈In that case, shouldn’t we just land in the north? From the looks of this body, if it is about the border of the jungle, you can land while avoiding the reef.〉
Pharaoh Shedmenhotep pointed to the map.
Shedmenhotep’s proposal was rejected by Kiara, that is to say, by Istetil, who had passed her word through him. Indoctrinated with manners, the pharaoh sulked. 〈The northern sea is the territorial waters of Ortlawiper. That’s why you shouldn’t even come close.〉 〈Ortlawiper?〉 〈It means ‘dawn that does not open’. It is a monster that the inhabitants of that continent regard as the god of the stars and dawn.〉 When I asked, Kiara answered with her own knowledge. A monster that is considered a god. I half-opened my eyes. Shedmenhotep said while scribbling on his undersheet. You’re mad at this pharaoh. From ancient times, it was difficult to find a sane pup among monsters, and there was no such thing as a sane pup among self-proclaimed gods. Ah, I didn’t mean to specifically shoot the pharaohs. ‘First of all, they’re really halves.’ Isn’t the pharaoh the one who awakens as a true god when he dies and goes to the underworld? Just looking at Shehetefibra wielding the power of creation in the underworld, it was like that. A living half-man half-god. It is a native ‘It might be an arrangement left by the gods of Narmer-Nile, like Wolfhedin, whom Odin set up as his successor.’ On the other hand, the god of Azteca is a monster that claims to be a god. And Azteca was a pseudo-religion that served that monster. You’re a pagan heretic, damn it. 〈The Oostlaweper is a snake that is always submerged in the sea, and it is said to be a huge monster that destroys and eats all ships that have come out into the North Sea.〉 As Kiara was busy relaying translations and explanations, Istetil’s words increased. 【’Dawn that never opens’ doesn’t sleep. What you guys mistook for a reef is his fin bone. You wouldn’t know if you observed it from a distant sea area, but visiting the sea area is an act of suicide.] Niimi 1 shot. A backbone the size of a reef? How big is that Could it be Leviathan? 〈… It’s not going to be a separate fight with the Woo Gods, so it’s okay.〉
The conference hall, which was about to become chaotic with the talk of the locals, quickly calmed down.
The owner of the traditional market yukgaejang was also surprised by her astonishing food, but there was little chance of her encountering the heathen gods.
It was because the continent of Earthtlan was far behind, and the 3 wolves hadn’t come out of their habitat for thousands of years.
‘It’s not like we’re going to deliver some kind of imperialism or democracy.’
If you don’t invade the territory, you won’t encounter anything.
‘By the way, president of the school. Have the members of the advance party been decided?〉
〈Members of the Mithril class or higher, me and Skolakiche.〉
That’s it.
Pharaoh wants you to work on his home security, but he doesn’t seem to listen to what he says. She also has the calculation that if you follow her, she will be subtly helpful.
A pharaoh is a half-human half-god born in this world.
In this world, he was bound by the bondage of his body and couldn’t use his powers, but even just looking at the amount of mana, he would be better than a normal human.
At least I won’t catch my foot in the advance team.
‘In my family, it’s me, Dana, and Nefertiti.’
Nefertiti is a master of the Mithril class, and Dana is the seat of Valkyrie and Freya. Tyrsi would also be at the level just below the Mithril class, but this time it’s on standby.
At Asherard’s initiative, we received one more briefing on the strategy and dispersed. The meeting is over. They would have to gather around the time they arrive tomorrow and cross over to the continent of Earthtlan on the Ammuna. Let’s do some simple training with Nefertiti. “Aren’t you eating?” But why is this half-dwarf chasing after me? Kiara seems to be free. I nodded. “I want to eat it after training with Nefertiti. Oh, would you like to teach me something?” How many chances are there to win a master class without worrying about being left behind? Excluding this or that buff or miraculous luck, how much can I rub against the master class purely with my own strength? That’s something I’m also curious about. “Even if you learn from me, it won’t be of much use… “ Kiara didn’t seem to have much confidence in nurturing younger students. Wasn’t it his credo not to go to the edge unless it was time to cut? I gave up half my hopes and offered one more time. “I just wanted to ask you a few questions. I’ve met enemies in the master class before, but honestly, I can’t judge them properly.” I’ve been through a lot of fights, but the master class is still fucking hard for me to understand. Mithril seems to be because there is no easy-to-understand classification like Auror users.
For example, Half-Bone Richkin Equinox was a master class warlock.
‘And Letitia was on the same level as that Equinox.’
Letitia had the advantage, but when Equinox prevented the Valkyries from hunting souls and restored the undead with the power of creation, the girls competed against each other.
‘Armashunas Mode Tirshi and I, who controlled the runaway, are on the same level as them.’
But I was in a position where I couldn’t recreate the miraculous buff back then.
Ugh-. Brunak, who had turned into a bracelet, trembled.
─I don’t know if it absorbs a lot of darkness and negative mana, otherwise it’s hard!
It seemed like I was saying that as my alter ego.
So did Tyrsi. Since there is no way to connect to the throne of Armashnas in the underworld, it is impossible to rewrite the goddess mode.
Once the connection was successful, he would be able to draw on the power of the new throne and come back to his senses after the battle.
Anyway, power and money are the best of both worlds 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
At the moment when Androids 17-18 and Cell appeared as enemies, I am still in a state like super-Earth 1. It was dangerous if I didn’t quickly awaken as a Z-Hero and become a golden giant monkey.
“All right. If so.”
Did you understand my meaning? Kiara joined us in our training.
I did participate.
“What is this?”
“It’s a card game.”
So fuck, why are you passing cards on the mat when you say let’s train?
Nefertiti, why are you taking on that?
Is it because you’re from? Did the ancient Narmer-Nile people do something like a duel with a slab that sealed a monster?
-Chap-Chap. Kiara said while shuffling the cards.
“This is all part of training. By the way, Mr. Nefertiti. What is that bread?”
“Puff. Norse home food.”
No, cream puffs are a bit exotic for Korean traditional food.
Of the food I ate in the world of my dreams, several were recreated by Fran’s hand, and cream puffs were one of them. It’s difficult to bake soft bread, but other than that, you just need to fill it with whipped cream.
“Looks delicious. Please bet on the stake.”
Did this bastard come to satisfy his self-interest?
Nefertiti said without changing her expression.
“Cream puffs are rare. The price is high.”
“I will work hard on the lecture, so please watch it.”
“Then fine.”
Swallow, I don’t know. Just do what you’re told to do
I gave up and sat quietly and took the card.
“Are you curious about how to become a master class?”
“Was it obvious?”
“I guess so. It is difficult to realize.”
─Talk. Nefertiti transfers cream puffs from a basket to a bowl.
It was an unspoken request to tell me because I will bet on this.
Kiara seemed to have noticed.
“Actually, from my point of view, it is simple. Based on Lord Wolfheddin’s standard, increase mana by about twice what it is now. Then you can call yourself a master class.”
“Yeah? Me?”
I was dizzy as I was rolling Cjanggu. What is this half dwarf saying now?
“Without any realization?”
“It’s the chicken or the egg first. A natural increase in mana means spiritual growth. Normally, the amount of mana increases as you get stronger.”
“… Punning?”
It was Nefertiti who frowned very slightly.
It has to be. When asked how to become rich, the answer was to have a lot of money. Kiara exchanged cards as if it was nothing.
“It is a question of what premise defines strength. Shall we give an example? Do you think that the heavenly gods wore auras on their weapons and quarreled whenever they fought?”
Nefertiti and I became a mix.
‘Probably not.’
Aura is the mana of destruction created by the human body.
Conversely, beings who are more powerful than humans do not need to learn things like Aurors.
The
Let’s assume that mana = output.
The same person, the same amount of mana, but the output went up like hell. Mjolnir is a cost-effective means of attack that is incomparable to Auror.
To the extent that if you use the power of the throne, you no longer have to cling to human power.
“But I heard that the master class never loses to a downgraded opponent?”
“The metaphor of a person’s state is a conceptual example, so the explanation is bound to be ambiguous, but to be honest, that is also half a lie.”
“Yes?”
You said it was Gura?
Write like this. It’s a series of thrill shock suspense that will make you lose your mind.
“To put it crudely, a master class is the strength that humans seek, a person who has reached the top of that rugged mountain.”
“I heard about that too.”
“Then it will be easier for you to understand. That is why the behavior of latecomers is so obvious. If you do the same thing, you will be able to clearly see the thoughts of people worse off than you.”
Indeed. It was worth it.
Because the noncommissioned officer knows what the soldiers are thinking when they hit and run.
─Talk. Nefertiti quickly puts on another cream puff.
I mean say more. She is the one who has experienced losing the use of her hands and feet while fighting Equinox in the past. Kiara licked her lips as she looked at the cream puffs, which were as thick as a full-term calf.
“Still, aren’t there many ways to get to the top of a mountain other than mountain climbing?”
“How?”
“According to the standards of the gods, it is like receiving human sacrifice. If you’re a human, arm yourself with a good weapon or bring magic items that increase your mana.”
In my family, Lalilura is the last case.
As long as I have a puppet that filled my aura, that guy is also worthy of being compared to the mithril class.
“It’s just that most of the methods are makeshift or difficult to practice for mankind, so the saying ‘master class is invincible’ is only true to a certain extent.”
“… Difficult.”
It was Nefertiti, muttering as if her head hurt. I am also struggling to understand.
Kiara, giggling, sat cross-legged with her.
“It’s not very difficult. Are the gods stronger than humans even without an aura? Aura, martial arts, magic system of wizard guild. This is a technology created by humans to overcome their own weaknesses.”
“So the master class at the pinnacle of that skill is strong when dealing with humans?”
I ask, not paying attention to the card in her hand.
“In the end, no matter what skill you train, whether it’s a wizard or a warrior, you can’t get out of the frame of human skills?”
“Yeah. That is the correct answer.”
Kiara laughed. It seemed like I knew a little bit.
‘Is it an extension of what I’ve been hearing since the days of being a dick?’
Warriors and wizards are roughly the same when they become masters.
That’s because the means by which humans become strong while still human are limited.
No matter how many cards you have in a card game, all you have to do to win the same game is the same.
Since the goal and play were all straightforward, it meant that from the standpoint of the old person, it was obvious what the newbie was thinking.
“Our adventurers’ guild calls those who have this macro perspective a master class. As the master, who reigns in a certain realm, as an absolute being who is more than a master.”
“Absolutely? It’s a grandiose title, but it’s understandable.”
Master class.
Suddenly, it makes sense.
Up to the Mithril class, strength is expressed as metal. Because that strength and soul are the standards of the secular world.
But the master class goes even further.
Master. Owner.
The reason why this word is used to mean an expert who has mastered something must be because it is used to mean that he has a perfect understanding of a certain concept, like ‘the master of a sword’.
Kiara said while enjoying the pile of cream puffs.
“It is a ‘master’ in the sense that you have your own territory in the conceptual world and reign over it. When you reach this level, you will be able to assert yourself against the world.”
“… Assertiveness?”
“Befitting the owner of the territory, he is asserting his ‘authority’ against the common sense of this world.”
As we put our heads together, Kiara explained in looser words.
“Doesn’t Lord Wolfheddin have unrestricted power in the territory that is comparable to that of a king? Even master classes go beyond common sense or limits in their specialized fields.”
“… Or bring the dead back to life?”
“If you’re a black magician in a master class, something like that will happen.”
I did.
Equinox, who revived even the dead from the underworld with a soul.
The black magic of the Ban Ban Lich was a good example.
‘The goal of Equinox was to revive the dead and use the power of creation to create a new underworld. Considering his aptitude, ability, and purpose, that would of course be the result.’
Those who became master classes on their own are like that. I frowned.
“But… So it’s almost like the power of God.”
“It is power itself. It is a master class only when you become the ‘owner’ of land and power. You may have your own territory, and you can establish one or two laws that suit your taste and ability.”
Warrant.
It’s a familiar word. I quietly frowned.
‘Speaking of authority, I’m not irrelevant.’
──Wulfhedin’s power and Odin’s eyes.
The power to save the soul. An eye that understands all magic.
I had the power that others would only acquire after becoming a master class, even before I became a mithril class.
‘Looking at it, Odin’s eyes are like the perspective of a master class specializing in magic.’
Now I feel like I understand the context of the story.
Did Kiara vaguely notice my authority and say, ‘I just need to increase my mana’?
It seems that the adventurer’s guild’s big bread, which unravels this kind of information with a few puffs, has that kind of discernment. Thinking like that makes the atmosphere suddenly cool.
Noticing his gaze, Kiara took her eyes off the cream puff and said.
“Oh, and this context also applies to monsters and gods.”
“Even the gods each had their own authority.”
“Yeah. Even the great celestial beings seem to have their strengths and weaknesses of talents, specialties, and aptitudes, as well as limitations. Because the abilities used as authority were different.”
“Yes. There must have been some common authority.”
Excluding the authority of creation, the gods also had their own original authority.
Thor has the power to control lightning.
Satis has the power to track down and annihilate prey.
Odin has the power to control magic and spirits.
‘It must be the seat of God that the authority was embodied in form.’
A person like Letitia who went to the master class as a
‘So, if you say that aptitude is necessary for the succession of the throne, the two sides are correct.’
It seems that the aptitude of the new throne means ‘the quality that allows you to gain authority’.
You can’t even wear clothes that don’t fit your body.
“A being who holds the authority by using the power he accumulated like a mountain as his territory. That’s a master class.
By the time the opportunity to exchange cards had gone around, Kiara ended the lecture.
It was an education that became bone and flesh. He said it wouldn’t help, but he said he was a jerk, right? I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and asked a question.
“Then Lord Collido must have power too?”
“I do not know. I couldn’t even use it properly.”
“I don’t think that’s anything to brag about.”
“It’s a belt.”
Gradually, I seem to know this human nature.
They said it was their credo not to lie, and that meant that if they didn’t want to answer or were bothered by it, they would stick with Mola Lehu. It’s got all the damn convenient creeds.
“Well, these abstract stories aren’t very helpful for growth.”
When our hand was decided, Kiara discarded her card.
─Charreuk. Kiara’s card lay on her mat.
“Is there anyone who falls behind Ha-su in his field of expertise? Isn’t tajja the strongest when gambling? You can secretly use numbers like this.”
“… Det?”
I stupidly opened my mouth.
Kiara’s card was the strongest hand in the game.
I don’t know, but the possibility of such a combination coming out in this other world poker would have been a star in the sky. Nefertiti put down her card with a sullen face.
“… President, I cut the bottom.”
“Haha. Absolutely. Did I tell you? They say I lie when I fight.”
“Did you mean that?”
It seems your brain judges a card game to be a fight. Duelist bastard.
The strongest adventurer’s play with his hands is inevitable.
Even the drawn cards are created from the wrist.
“When it comes to fighting, no one chooses any means or methods. You said it was training, but you were careless. Then, I will take these breads in exchange for tuition.”
Wow-.
Kiara played with her hands like a ghost and swept away our cream puffs in a basket.
We were so damn right that we couldn’t even argue.
“It is ideal from me. Could it have been helpful?”
“Yes. Very much.”
In fact, it was not at all regrettable that a few cream puffs were taken away.
Rather, I want to add something more.
“I’m glad that’s the case, but if you run into Wooshin in the middle of the expedition, please be careful.”
After throwing the cream puff into her mouth, Kiara mumbled.
“The authority of transcendental monsters is more expressed in the concept of habitat radius——the ‘area’. In a way that the predictive ability or invincibility of the master class is strengthened.”
“… Keep that in mind.”
Are you going to keep making me feel dirty? Looks like we’ll have to face each other and fight.
They say there are 3 of them, but even if you fight only 1 of them, you will definitely have an interview with Odin’s ghost again. I mean, I almost fell behind while fighting a tough troll.
After Kiara left, me and Nefertiti sparred lightly.
According to Kiara, increasing the amount of mana was enough, but it was clear that it would not be such a simple matter. Besides, I’m not the type to grow while fighting.
I thought I had come quite far, but it seems there was still a long way to go.
