Chapter 568 – The Cursed Throne
While contemplating whether to enjoy sex comfortably, when a bomb declaration pops out of Seongil’s mouth, Elaine looks at her Seongil with a surprised expression on the spot.
“What are you pretending not to know? After you became a follower of mine, I gave you documents related to your world. That’s what I’m talking about.”
After that, she transmits the data and images that she came up with in her head to Elaine’s smartphone through a nano machine.
“This strategy part. When going through the true ending route, you will inevitably absorb the essence of the Fire Dragon. Let’s try to follow that.”
Along with that, Seong-il explains the story of the newly acquired Little Pineapple House.
“Um… That’s it… If I use the newly acquired authority, I can go to the world you haven’t cleared yet, so I can use that to absorb the essence of the Fire Dragon in the world of 『Cursed Throne』. ?”
“Exactly.”
“Hmm…”
Even though it is an event that will benefit her greatly, Elaine shows hesitation.
Seong-il, who couldn’t understand the scene, frowned and asked.
“Why? It’s good for you. And your growth is essential to save your world.”
“…That’s right, but aren’t you missing something important?”
“…?”
At Elaine’s sudden answer, she makes a face that says she doesn’t understand Seong-il.
Seeing such a holy day, Elaine, with a slightly puzzled look on her face, explains her concerns.
“…True ending route. That’s why I have to remember the time when I awaken from the fate of our world being saved as you said!!”
“Hmm…?”
At Elaine’s words, Seong-il wonders if she missed something, so she examines the contents once again.
“Oh, that one?”
When she feels like Elaine tripped over a part she overlooked and overlooked, Seong-il finally understands her intentions.
“…In the true ending route, the awakened ‘protagonist’ uses his special ability to absorb the essence of the fire dragon and helps me in a ‘status abnormality’!!”
“Hmm…”
“If that doesn’t work out, it looks like I’m going to have a fatal problem with the settings?! How are you going to solve that part?”
“Well? Considering the situation, in moderation?”
“…”
Even though it is a matter of her own life, when she answers this question lightly, such as worrying about what dinner she will eat while returning home, Elaine confronts him with her slightly blushing face.
“In moderation, in moderation, in moderation!! What are you going to do if I die!! You really are!!!”
After she became a follower of Seong-il, she was a dizzy Elaine, who had never been annoyed with him. Then, when she shoots herself with her really angry expression, her holy days begin to soothe her.
“Oh, listen to my explanation.”
Seong-il calmly begins to explain to Elaine why she did not take the matter seriously.
“Um… Yo… Did you take it lightly because your ’emotion’, which has recently strengthened and is almost ‘prophecy’, didn’t warn you about this?”
“Yes. Recently, my ’emotion’ has entered the realm of a god. If there was really something wrong with this attempt, the emotion would have immediately made me feel negative emotions. But, this time it wasn’t at all. I mean no.”
“Ah… What… Is it…?”
‘…After realizing the clear sky, I feel that my words are somehow empowering…?’
Seong-il realizes that even though he doesn’t have to use flashy speech skills lately, his words subconsciously have a strong power to persuade others.
‘I’ll have to experiment with this later.’
Thankfully, when Elaine seems to agree, Seong-il, who is full of energy, quickly continues to make excuses.
“In addition… There are things that can control variables without thinking too deeply, right? There are not only serious injuries, but also elixirs that can revive the dead. In the worst case, there is also a way to stop time. That’s no problem. Won’t you?”
“Well… Then I guess I’ll have to try it…”
At Seong-il’s excuse that comes out like water, Elaine naturally gets caught up in his trick and eventually nods her head.
“Then… Are you doing it right away?”
Seong-il shakes her head in response to Elaine’s reaction, who says she wants to do it right away.
“No, there are other colleagues on the Inner Plane of that world right now. I’ll call you based on the situation.”
“Huh.”
After those words, Seong-il laid Elaine on the grass and began to take off her clothes. Shortly thereafter, a sticky female voice began to flow from the grass.
***
‘Whoa… It’s nice to make it steamy after a long time.’
Seong-il, who spent a good time in the meadow with Elaine, moves back to the world of The Cursed Throne.
‘As Elaine said… First of all, let’s focus on clearing Kitty’s quest rather than the main quest, which may end soon. After that, she uses an item to find the next world … ‘
Thinking so, Seong-il puts on the leather armor placed in the corner of the room and goes down to the first floor.
“H. Are you awake?”
The appearance of other colleagues who go down to the first floor. Ban and Bruno must have finished their meal already, so they were sitting in the corner of the common room, mending their respective weapons.
“Omnyomnyom…”
‘I’m eating well…’
And the image of the hamster eating a delicious lunch box next to Sena. Not befitting the name Sado, he was devouring fruit for dessert.
“Why don’t we quickly return to the pantheon? We urgently need to subdue the children of the stars.”
“To agree.”
Excluding the Crown Prince, who is not a priest, since most of the party is made up of priests, his colleagues readily agree with his words because they want to quickly subdue those who dare to do blasphemous things under the temple for their god.
“Then let’s go right away. However, you can’t use this sanctuary when you go back, so know that.”
“Huh? Why…?”
While eating a lunch box, Sena makes a puzzled expression after hearing Seongil’s words.
“Yeah, since you guys have seen Meowie-nim’s appearance, it’s no big deal if I show him the powers I received from him… But aren’t the paladins out there right now. Showing them my powers…”
“Ah…”
In fact, it was to free up time so that Elaine could quickly absorb the dragon’s essence, but colleagues who did not know the truth all nodded their heads at the plausible excuse of the holy days.
‘I think I’ll set up a justification to get my comrades out of the Inner Plain… I guess I’ll have to go back to Solanium and call Elaine.’
Thinking so, Seong-il urges his colleagues to move quickly to the dragon’s nest.
***
“Kyung!! Did you catch the dragon!?”
The party quickly exits the empty old castle, and as they approach the carriage, the paladins greet them fiercely.
“Yes. Thanks to the power given by the gods, I was able to barely subdue him.”
“Oh oh…!!”
Seeing Ban’s humble answer, the paladins seemed to be admiring everyone.
“Sir Ban!! I had no doubt that you would achieve great feats!! I am very proud of you!!”
In particular, Lord Luzan, who spent her childhood with the main character Ban and taught him swordsmanship, is extremely moved among the Paladins.
“Kyung…!!”
And in response to his reaction, emotions begin to appear for the first time on the face of Ban, who had been receiving compliments with a calm expression until now.
‘Oh… The half guy… He’s starting to get a lot psychologically stable…?’
And Seong-il feels such a change of heart in real time through emotion and falls into a strange feeling.
‘At least half of them won’t fall unless something really big happens in this life.’
Seong-il is proud to see the character he liked growing up properly.
“Then let’s all return quickly.”
“Hmm? Are you leaving already? The people around here will need a lot of help because of the dragon’s tyranny.”
When Ban and the others show that they are trying to return too quickly, the paladins reply with a tone of regret.
‘Ah, in this area, because of the tactics of the struggle, the followers of a hostile god haven’t been able to receive a revelation from the god, right?’
Seong-il realized why Paladin gave such an answer. And, as if that was the case with the other party, Bruno comes out before the holy day and explains the situation.
“What?! The descendants of the stars secretly built an evil base under the pantheon and are preparing to invade the ground!?”
“Yes. This area is a place where the power of struggle is strong, so you must not have received the revelation. Now we must return to the pantheon as soon as possible. Urgently.”
“Ah…”
Realizing why Ban and the others were trying to return quickly, the paladins quickly began to pack their belongings that were spread around them.
“Then we can’t be like this either. I’m sorry to the farmers around here, but the priority is to prevent the invasion of the evil enemy…”
“That’s right. Let’s get ready to go back soon.”
Having obtained the consent of the Paladins, the party summons the phantom warhorse again and leads the horse toward Solanium without hesitation.
***
“Kkeuh… It’s a pity that I can only drive 8 hours a day.”
“It can’t be helped. But the boat is faster than a normal wagon.”
“…That’s true, but…”
Half a day riding a ghost warhorse from Filinore Goseong to Solanium.
When the ghost warhorse, which has passed the summoning time that can be used for a day, disappears, Bruno, who was in a hurry, looks at the empty front part of the carriage and muttered.
‘I didn’t know that an urgent revelation would come as soon as I left the area of struggle.’
As Seongil said, when the priests crossed the old castle, they all received revelations about subjugating the descendants of the stars from the gods they believed in at the same time.
‘I never thought that even Gaaz would be revealed…’
When things really went according to Kitty’s words, Gaaz, who was greatly shocked, showed a look of astonishment, even making an expression he doesn’t usually show.
‘It must have come as a shock that Kitty is truly a god of prudence that transcends gods.’
At that time, Seong-il was sitting in the driver’s seat thinking about various things and eating snacks brought from reality.
A messenger of destruction suddenly emerges from his shadow and begins to look at the holy day.
“Yes why…?”
The setting sun has almost subsided and night is approaching. In the meantime, when the messenger, who usually rarely expresses emotions, tries to tell him something telepathically, Seong-il is amazed.
“What? You can pull the wagon for the evening? If I give you magic attribute?”
Nod
“Oh…”
An unexpected proposal. Even though she had the precondition that she had to sit in the driver’s seat, Seong-il seemed to be pleased with it anyway, since minimizing travel time is a pretty good thing.
“Why?”
“Oh, just…”
The party calmly listens to Seong-il’s explanation. After hearing the whole situation, the colleagues also show a smile like Seong-il.
“It’s good!! At night, you and the divine beast pull the carriage. During the day, while you sleep, we can pull the warhorse.”
“Sure… It seems to be okay…?”
Seong-il realizes that Bruno’s proposal is not bad and nods his head in agreement.
“Okay. Then let’s do that.”
“Then I’ll stay by your side.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if you were alone all night? Anyway, during the day, I’ll just sleep in the break room.”
“Ah, well… If that’s the case.”
Even if no one was around, Seong-il was able to pass the time by watching videos of reality through augmented reality using nanomachines.
However, he decides not to cut off his colleagues who care about him.
‘Well… When will I ever experience something like this.’
Thinking so, Seong-il starts moving to Solanium again while chatting with Bruno and Ban, who are sitting next to him.
‘At this rate, it should arrive tomorrow evening.’
Seong-il, who thought so, looks at Bruno next to him to soothe his boredom.
‘.
It is absurd to see Bruno dozing off.
‘Ah… That’s it. Shall we use this time to draw monthly?’
Thinking so, Seong-il tries using the 『Free-Term Draw Ticket』 He received as a reward for clearing a while ago.
“Oh…?”
While thinking so, a small scroll was created in his hand. Seong-il checks the scroll out of curiosity.
『Guide of the Star Guide. (Can be used once)』
* If the user writes the difficult question they are curious about on the parchment, the guide tells the answer to the question they want. (The simpler the question, the clearer the answer.)』
“Oh no…!! This is happening again!?”
Seong-il holds onto the parchment with an excited expression when another item that has been troubling him for the past few days accidentally appears in the draw.
