Chapter 571 – The Cursed Throne
“…Has your level increased?!”
While checking his body condition, Seong-il surprisingly realizes that the Heaven, Earth, Yin-Yang, and the Heavenly Earth, Yin-Yang, have reached the 10th level.
‘Is it because it absorbed both the power of the dragon and the power that was latent in Elaine’s body…?’
At that time, Seong-il was slightly excited about an unexpected opportunity. Elaine, who was lying next to him, starts tossing and turning over her body.
“Huh… Huh…”
“Hey!! Are you okay?!”
For a while, Seong-il takes the elixir from his bosom and quickly pours it into Elaine’s mouth to check her condition.
“Gulp…”
Elaine didn’t answer the question of her holy day, as she raised her hand and caressed her head, swallowing the elixir.
“Whoa…”
Shortly after she drank the elixir, Elaine’s condition began to improve rapidly, so her holy day seemed relieved.
“Are you okay!”
Thanks to the power of the elixir, Elaine’s headache disappeared and her complexion returned to normal. She sighs lightly and answers her name.
“Huh? Eh…”
Elaine, who answered lightly, ignores her holy day, reaches out to her and starts muttering something to her.
‘Order…?’
Casting sound clearly audible. Seong-il instinctively realizes that she is using arcane magic unique to her family.
“…Flame. Follow the will of my blood and live!”
When Elaine’s spell ends, sparks begin to rise from her fingertips.
“Oh…”
Beautiful Elaine’s flame that makes Seong-il’s lips exclaim as he watches it.
The flames were flying in the air like living creatures and constantly changing into various shapes.
“Become the mirror of my soul, O flame. A blood oath…”
Despite the fact that the flames are alive and moving, Elaine is not happy. Instead, she concentrates on reciting the family’s arcane spell with a more nervous expression.
“Uh…!?”
Soon after, the flames flying in the air gradually begin to transform into birds.
“It’s okay…!! It’s okay…!!”
As the sparks in front of her eyes surprisingly become her legendary phoenix perched atop her own finger, gently chirping like a bird, Elaine’s moved tears well in her eyes.
“Your wish came true? Congratulations.”
“Yes…”
‘From now on, this guy will be of great help in battle.’
Although she is still small, since she is Elaine, who has become a member of the legendary phoenix, I feel that her holy day will make her a companion in any world from now on.
‘If the phoenix grew to a certain level, the summoner could be resurrected with the power of flame even if his body was smashed, right?’
‘And that immortal power continues as long as the phoenix’s magical power runs out. I can count on Elaine’s help from now on.’
She thinks so, but Seong-il looks at the phoenix with a strange expression.
‘I’m fucking envious… I wish I had a phoenix…’
“Kyareung…”
The time when Seong-il thought she was jealous of the phoenix without realizing it. Perhaps she was dissatisfied with his wish, the messenger of destruction appeared from the shadows in the form of a cute puppy and purred at Seong-il as if dissatisfied.
“Oh, don’t be jealous. The more colleagues you have, the better.”
“Kreung…”
Seongil’s words were dissatisfied, but when he gently caressed her, the messenger of destruction relaxed her dissatisfied expression and focused on his touch.
The time when Seong-il was still jealous of Elaine’s phoenix. Sensation sends strange stimulation to his head.
‘Hmm…?’
A stimulus as if telling me to remember this sight and spell.
‘What’s there…?’
Thinking so, Seong-il grabs her Elaine and tries to question her about her secret technique.
“Ummm… So your reaction is asking for information related to occultism, right?”
“That’s it. There must be something good about me.”
“Hmm… In that case… Originally, I wouldn’t teach anyone, but since it’s you…”
Elaine, who gave an answer that strangely moved Seong-il, obediently passed on her family’s vision to Seong-il.
‘It’s difficult.’
Quite difficult content of the vision. Seong-il listens to the vision calmly with a troubled expression and repeats asking questions.
‘I wonder if this is enough…?’
Somewhat important information is stored in the head. Her holy day digs into her vision and when she has a question she decides to ask her in the future.
“Huh!? Time…”
Then I realized that time has passed. Seong-il realizes that more than half a day has passed and she explains the situation to Elaine.
“Umm… Okay. Then, go back to my colleagues here. I’ll be calmly practicing my awakened power at home.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Seong-il bids Elaine and her farewell and casts the Inner Plane.
***
“Hmm? Mister, have you been to ‘there’?
When Seong-il returns to the rest room installed in her ghost carriage, Sena, who is already resting there, looks at her Seong-il and asks questions.
‘Oh… As expected…’
Just in case, it was the same situation. Because of this, her Seong-il tries to excuse her by looking at her colleague who is looking at herself.
“Yes. I brought the dragon’s corpse to God.”
“Heh…? Nyanko?”
“Yes. Don’t ask why. Except for the corpse, the rest of the treasures will be distributed fairly among you, so don’t be too dissatisfied.”
“Ah~ well, if that’s the case~”
The important thing for her is the gold coins, not the dragon’s corpse, so Senna seems to be willing to affirm her words of the holy day.
“Jjiik…? Ah! Did the apostle come!!”
While Sena and Seong-il exchanged questions and answers in a loud voice, the hamster woke up to the sound and greeted her with a dreamy look on her chest.
“Yeah. But are you sleeping a lot these days?”
“Jjiik!! The curse on my body is being lifted little by little!! The rebound is causing a lot of fatigue!!”
“Oh yeah…?”
Apparently, Kitty is really trying to release the sealed god of knowledge. Seong-il is intrigued and asks the hamster about the sanctuary.
“How is the sanctuary? Is the god of knowledge resurrected?”
“No. Not yet. But!! When I went to the sanctuary this time!! I received a revelation in a dream!!”
“Oh? What?”
When Seong-il shows curiosity, the hamster obediently explains the contents of the revelation.
“Ohh… If the subjugation of the children of this planet is successfully completed, will the god of knowledge be resurrected?”
“Yes!! Jjiik!!”
After that, the hamster jumps out of Senna’s chest and stands on her desk.
After that, he bows down to Seong-il and starts bowing his head.
“This is all thanks to Seongil-nim!! Jjiik!! Please take good care of this mission!!”
“OK.”
In the midst of useless chatting with the hamster, the door to the break room opens, and two familiar men appear.
“Are you here?”
“Okay.”
Ban and Bruno look slightly tired. All of them sigh and sigh after sitting down on the sofa installed in the break room.
“The subjugation is scheduled to begin at noon in two days. Know that.”
“Oh, so fast?”
“Yes. Of the pantheon…”
The moment Bruno tried to explain the situation. The door opens again and an additional familiar male appears.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Hello~”
Senna greets Gaaz with her bright tone, as if she feels quite familiar with him.
“Who are the two people in the back?”
When Gaaz brings another of his own people with him, Senna asks with a curious expression.
“Those behind me are the warriors who are in charge of the out-of-the-box Enforcer unit’s deputy commanders. They plan to help me lead the Enforcers in the battle in two days’ time.”
‘Fuck… It looks like the other races are also planning to launch an all-out attack.’
It is common for each sub-captain to command about twenty enforcers, so bringing two sub-captains meant that Gaaz had prepared forty enforcers, so Seong-il looked shocked at his words.
‘If the executioner is forty, I’ll just beat the dragon.’
Since each of the executioners was a powerful wizard or a warrior with psychic powers, Seongil never saw the number forty as small.
“Forty executioners… That’s not a small number. By the way, in our pantheon, we’ve decided to recruit 30 of the most elite crusaders from each temple.”
“Thirty.”
A surprisingly small number. Considering that the number of crusaders residing in the Mansion Hall is by no means small, the number of recruited troops feels very shabby.
“Contrary to what it sounds like, it’s by no means a small number. Because only ‘Master Paladin-class Crusaders’ are going to be put into war.”
“Hmm…”
“In addition, since we are going to recruit troops from all the temples in the temple district, if we gather them all together, even if those master level crusaders can’t do it, there will be hundreds.”
‘Just listening to it is bloody.’
At first glance, it sounds like ‘only’ hundreds of troops, but if you translate the level of the subjugation troops of this temple into reality, it is in fact the same as meaning that hundreds of A-S grade hunters will be sent to the subjugation team, I feel like I’m not doing anything
‘Ta-Zarran’s enforcer will be at least an A-class hunter in reality…’
Right now, Gaaz’s military power during this journey was very impressive, so Seongil doesn’t seem to ignore the executioner’s ability in the slightest.
‘I could eat it raw.’
As he recalls the might of the gathered Crusaders, Seong-il feels that he can subdue the descendants of the stars without much effort.
“However.”
“…?”
The time when I was lost in my thoughts alone for a while. Gaaz diverts the attention of his party with his characteristic grave tone.
“Is it possible for all the temples to carry out their mission ‘together’?
‘That’s a reasonable question.’
Here in 『The World of the Throne of the Cursed』, ‘Values’ have a tremendous meaning, so Seong-il listens to Gaaz’s questions and expresses sympathy.
“That’s right. Originally, such a joint operation would have been absolutely impossible.”
And at Gaaz’ question, the leader, Ban, nods and agrees.
“However, surprisingly, this time is an exception. It is the first time that the revelations with the same content came down to each temple on the same date and time.”
“…Could it be that all of the temples in the Pantheon received the same revelation as we did?”
Since Gaazu was also a follower of chaos, she was shocked to hear what Ban was saying.
“We don’t know. We don’t know what kind of revelation Gaaz-nim received.”
“…”
“We just received a revelation that said, ‘Never enmity with hostile temples, and do everything in your power to subdue the descendents of the stars.'”
“…In fact, we received the same revelation.”
As if they were really quite shocked, the three enforcers of the other race, whose expressions did not show their emotions well, all made faces of astonishment.
‘Fuck… Space space kitty is a real bitch.’
God of gods. Seeing the majesty of a kitty that seems to symbolize the providence of the universe itself, Seong-il thinks it is truly amazing.
‘Then I have to do my best.’
This time, with the help of Nyanko and the temple, Seongil decides to use the information to help the temple’s subjugation operation as much as possible.
『Edward. Print out the strategy guide. Right now.”
“All right. Master.”
Seong-il uses augmented reality to give orders to Edward, who is conducting a guard duty in the coachman’s seat.
Seong-il, who made him print about a hundred copies of the strategy book, handed his data to his colleagues.
“…What is it? Could it be?”
When Seong-il suddenly hands him the material with the picture drawn on it, Gaaz unconsciously recalls the material he received during the dragon subjugation a while ago.
“Yes. It’s the same data as back then. Internal maps, the number and quality of troops, defense facilities, etc. Are recorded.”
“…”
At Seong-il’s words that he calmly knows all the secrets of his enemies, everyone in the party just looks at him with awe.
“For reference, the number of troops is only about 200, but they are all high-ranking descendants, and there is also one elder spawn, so you must not be vigilant.”
“…Elder Spawn!!”
According to Seongil’s words, he had only settled behind Gaaz’s back. However, a murderous voice flows from the mouth of the executioner who did not open his mouth.
