Chapter 779 – The Cursed Throne
Irakorn wasn’t just a demilich trying to escape with a spell. He explains that he tried to escape from this place through a powerful dimensional artifact.
『It seems that he is accustomed to escape situations like this. He had an artifact that allows him to escape urgently in case of a crisis.』
“Even the effect was powerful.”
Ruchel explains that in order to maximize the Demilich’s ability to escape, various options have been completely removed and only the most powerful features have been inserted.
“Hey… If this sophisticated and powerful escape artifact is installed with minimal functions, there is a high possibility that it will eventually be an artifact that moves to its base?”
“Yes. And if it’s his nest, it’s obvious that there will be a reliquary.”
Although Ruchel and Dracolich did not know much about the magic of the Throne of the Damned world, judging the elaborate magic patterns, strong materials, and delicate magic letters felt in the hall picked up from the floor, the hall instantly became the home of the lich. I’m sure it’s an artifact that allows you to move.
『So, take it and go to its lair. If it’s your level, even if there are minions in it, you’ll be able to do enough to beat them by yourself.”
“Well… I guess so.”
Having killed one of the strongest enemies in the game, the dragon Kasarak’Tarun, he now has the confidence to solo in quite a few dungeons, so Seong-il agrees with the two archmages.
“I’ll do the coordinate calculations.”
“Oh, that’s right. Aruril was there.”
In order not to lose her dignity as an apostle of the goddess to outsiders, Aruril was silent to hide her lively personality. However, when her Seong-il finds herself in a situation where she enters the den of an unknown evil enemy alone, she finishes her practice of silence and approaches him to fix her scepter.
“Oh, that’s right. Aruril was from the cursed throne world, right?”
『That is also the apostle of the god in charge of magic.』
As Seong-il edited her memories in a way that cut out sensitive memories, the two of them wonder how Aruril came to this place. She didn’t know why she had turned to the Harvest Goddess or not, but she did know that she had once been a disciple of a magic god.
“Hmm… Really. This hall has a magic that returns you to a specific place. The magic effect is also quite significant.”
Aruril tells you that the spell cast in the hall has quite a bit of magic, holy power, and magic that allows you to pierce through all obstacles and return to a specific place. She only allows you to return to one place, and the cooldown is unimaginably long, but she also tells you that there is even a powerful anti-tracking magic so that enemies cannot easily track you.
“If the basic specs are such a strong subject, long cooldown, and only one specific place returns, it must be 100% his home base. Okay. I’ll go right away.”
『I see. I’m going to take care of this guy’s soul with Ruchel-kun here.”
As Seong-il almost wants to leave this place, the Dracolich spits out terrible noises that he is going to experiment with Kishar VII’s soul with a calm expression befitting a fearsome necromancer.
“See you next time.”
Since he had no intention of continuing to see such a bloody figure, Seong-il took Arrill and moved to the world of the cursed throne after a long time.
“Can you write it?”
“Of course! Who am I! Now I serve the Goddess, but I was once an apostle of magic? This much magic…”
Aruril snorts Seongil’s question and tells him to pick up the golden scepter left by King Kishar VII.
“As this is an artifact for emergency escape, only one caster can use it.”
“Oh, can’t I use it with you?”
“Yes. To maximize performance, the constraints are artifacts that have been carefully attached. Only one person can teleport.”
It seems that all kinds of penalties were put on the hole, perhaps to be used in a real emergency. Seong-il nodded her head obediently to Aru-ril’s words, and began to recite her spell as she instructed.
Ugh…!!
Then, an intense light begins to emanate from the hall. Then, interestingly, along with the light emitted from the hall, the incomprehensible ring also starts to resonate with evil power.
“Uh…!? It’s resonating with the Incomprehensible Ring!! Apparently, if the two Artifacts become a pair, they will teleport to another coordinate…”
Arurill tries to explain the current situation to Seongil in an urgent tone. However, the magic of the hall covers Seong-il and quickly transports him to somewhere as his efforts go to waste.
“Oh…?”
In fact, he could have prevented this anomaly by manipulating reality or gathering the power of Arunrabe, but Seong-il was in a situation where he let the hall drag him somewhere based on the fact that the reaction did not give any warning.
Not long after such a strange power swept Seong-il, Seong-il realized that he had arrived in an unknown and strange space and looked around.
“…It’s a filthy, ominous space, isn’t it?”
The scene inside the space that no one would think is normal. There were countless cursed artifacts that were extremely evil, and countless traces of unholy rituals that anyone could see.
“Oh… Is that a reliquary?”
And a box embroidered with gold and jewels in the middle of this underground secret room. Paradoxically, a terrifying aura was spreading in all directions from the lavishly decorated object.
“…It feels similar to the Incomprehensible Ring, but.”
Unlike the incomprehensible ring made of ominous red metal, the reliquary was made of gold and jewels, but strangely, the reliquary felt a similar ominous power to the ring.
“…Isn’t it made of simple gold? Or has the ‘Abyss’ blessed this reliquary evilly?”
The time when Seong-il approached the reliquary and muttered to himself while writing emotions. As he utters the word ‘Abyss’, a terrifying energy explodes from the reliquary.
“No… Why the fuck is the ring all of a sudden!?”
Even the incomprehensible ring, which was fine during that time, reacts to the energy and starts to emit a tremendous amount of fraud, embarrassing Seong-il.
Knocked up…!! Hard!!!
The ominous power that spewed out tried to wrap his body as if to eat Seongil. In the past, he would not have been able to do this or that because he was embarrassed by this power, but unlike before, Seong-il did not panic in the slightest and immediately spread the time domain to delay the evil power from reaching his body as much as possible, and then madly sprayed the Sunyang River around him to reap the evil power. Do it down
“Tch…!!”
After earning time like that, Seong-il tries to quickly escape from the encirclement of evil power by using magic imprint flashing. However, surprisingly, the evil power clings to the vicinity of Seongil’s space by moving in space with Seongil and tries to approach Seongil’s body.
Knocked up…!! Creepy…!!
Suddenly, creepy, grotesque sounds constantly flow from the evil clouds scattered around Seong-il, pressing him mentally.
‘Is it because of the incomprehensible ring…?’
Apparently, because of the incomprehensible ring, even if he tries to escape to another place, the bizarre black power follows to the end. In the end, Seong-il, realizing that it would be difficult to escape, takes out Arunrabe from the inventory with an annoyed look on his face, and orders the sword to change into a weapon with the power of killing God again.
“The bastard is annoying.”
Seong-il, who was annoyed at the sudden loss of energy, tried to restore it by taking a high-grade mana potion from his inventory and drinking it. Originally, the act of eating a potion in this situation would have been an extremely dangerous act, but Seongil uses the power of the time domain to make the evil power approach his body very slow, and he succeeds in recovering his inner strength while drinking the potion leisurely. .
“The bastard is going to search…”
Enraged, Seongil raises Arunrabe, whose power of divine killing overflows, and mercilessly swings his sword at the power of the abyss.
『Kyaaaaa…!!」
A terrible scream flows and the black energy splits at the moment of Seongil’s attack. But, that’s for a while. It emits evil power in the air, and as much as it has disappeared, it brings new strength and gradually approaches Seong-il.
“I-san… Should I unequip the Incomprehensible Ring after the connection is closed?”
Since it is a ring made from pieces of the body of the abyss, there is no way to defend against that evil power as long as the ring of incomprehensibility is worn, and for some reason, the ring here is firmly stuck in Seongil’s hand and does not fall off. Because of this, Seong-il, who is annoyed by the current situation, closes the connection and seriously contemplates whether to return to reality.
“Oh…? I asked what the situation was… It’s been a while, isn’t it?』
The time when Seong-il was worried. A dazzling light radiated in front of his eyes, and a familiar voice came out. When Seong-il turned his head away because of his voice, a beautiful cat whose body was made of the universe appeared there, looking at Seong-il and talking to him.
