Chapter 169 – A Twisted Future
#169.
“Whoa…”
It was much tougher than I thought.
It was completely destroyed, but it seemed that if I took this metal and studied it, it would yield pretty good results.
If you give it to Cain, he’ll be happy.
Taking a deep breath, Gaon shook his head thinking that it was not the time to think useless thoughts, and immediately joined the party and took care of the rest of the stone statues.
He also has Chorin and Hayeon, and although it took a little longer because he was able to afford it, he was able to catch it easily without any damage.
After recovering even the metal of the stone statue, Hayeon sat down on the floor, wiping the sweat from her cheek.
Gaon quickly approached and took out a towel from the subspace and carefully wiped away Hayeon’s sweat.
“Great job. Good job.”
“What. Hi-Hi… This is basic!”
When Ha-yeon shuddered with her modesty, Cho-rin, who came closer, shook her head.
“No. As Gaon said. Thanks to her, she was able to escape. Thank you.”
“My sister is also Cha-am… Jung Then, would you like to go back and give up the first day?”
When Ha-yeon goes back, she seems to want to have sex with Ga-on right away. She would be tired, so she could rest, but the sexual desire of the youth was astonishing.
“What? Why should I? That is that, and this is this.”
“Chit! It hurts.”
“Do you really want to do that?”
The two of them grumbled and argued.
Gaon looked at the room where the stone statues were guarding.
If it had been 3 months ago, I would have stopped it, but Gaon now has experienced it so often that I thought so. He only dried it once or twice, and he was exhausted from fighting like that every few days.
Above all, it is all the more so because there is no direct conflict yet, although we only argue a few words like that.
I just decided to accept it as a slightly different expression of affection between the two.
‘Stigma…’
Gaon looked at the room between the spaces that were messed up with stone statues and was immersed in agony.
Inside is the last stigma left by Tushin.
The stigma grants strength beyond the limits of a short period of time, and at the same time, no matter what kind of injury you receive, it allows you to fight with all your might right up to the point of death without any reduction in combat power.
It is an ability that she used to use very much from the moment she obtained Gaondo in her previous life until she reached 11 stars and stopped being threatened with her life.
If it hadn’t been for the stigma of his dedication, Gaon might not have existed where he is today.
Even if there was, that warming would have been an ordinary first-round warming that was weak, timid, and pitiful.
Now, it is better to get drunk in advance to prepare for a collision with someone who will come here soon.
Above all, the owner who obtained this stigma in the first round was not a very good person, so there was no need to feel guilty.
‘As expected, I’d rather write.’
Having come to a conclusion, Gaon moved forward alone, leaving Chorin and Hayeon still in the middle of an argument.
The two were startled and hurriedly followed each other.
As I led the two inside, the empty interior caught my eye.
All that was there was a round marble resting on a muscular, golden hand that stretched from the floor.
The golden, magnificent divine power inside it was running amok as if it were going to run away at any moment.
“Gaon-san, is this a stigma?”
Both Chorin, who asked a question, and Hayeon, who gazed up blankly, all had curious eyes that seemed innocent at first glance, wondering where the fighting spirit from earlier had gone.
They both know it.
That this bead in front of my eyes was the only thing in the union where the existence of stigmata god had disappeared.
Gaon, who was examining the faces of the two in turn, stepped forward and approached with a bead and answered.
“You’re right. It’s the only stigma in this Union right now. It immediately belongs to the owner and no one can take it away.”
“It must be difficult to convert the value into money.”
“You’re right. Anyone would be willing to pay a billion dollars to get it.”
After briefly responding to Chorin, Gaon turned her head and looked at the quiet Hayeon.
Then, startled, she threw up her hand.
“Master! I don’t need it, so Master has it.”
“… What?”
“You don’t have to give it to me! I already have a weapon, and I have this ring. Got it?”
Apparently, Ha-yeon understood that the reason she was looking at her meant that she should come and grab this marble right away.
Thank you for your consideration, but it’s a little ridiculous.
“Hayeon never tried to give it to me? I will have this.”
“Uh? Yes yes? That’s right? Well, that’s good.”
Even though she said it was good, Hayeon slightly tilted her head, perhaps feeling strange.
Gaon laughed at that reaction, turned her head back, and then reached out her hand and picked up her marble.
───!
A silent shock shook her body.
The divine power that had been trapped inside and bounced off the marble wall and scattered in all directions was sucked into his body at once through his grasp.
A golden line climbs up the back of his hand, covers his shoulder, and eventually settles down while drawing a geometric pattern.
The pain wasn’t too bad.
At most, it was only to the extent that he had previously cut the flesh of his forearm with a dagger and pulled out an arrow.
After a while, the divine power that had left the stigma on the body stopped moving and completely permeated into it, and a certain voice resonated in his mind.
【Fight!】
The heart beats naturally, and the inexplicable sense of exaltation is engraved, but the voice embracing a kind of madness makes you shudder in itself.
Gaon resolutely shook off his unforgettable voice and opened his eyes.
“Whoa…”
There is no immediate change.
However, the divine power engraved on the stigma will be activated at the moment he wants, giving him power beyond his limits for 10 minutes.
I shook his arm, turned away from the strangely disturbing sensation, and turned around.
Immediately, Chorin and Hayeon approached.
“Gaon-san, are you okay?”
“Master! My whole body just glowed golden!”
Cho-rin asked about her condition and started healing by placing her hand on her chest, and Ha-yeon explained what had changed.
Gaon, who had been listening to Hayeon’s chatter, said softly holding Chorin’s hand.
“It’s okay. I don’t have any problem. Let’s get ready sooner than that. He will come soon.”
“Oh! Did you? Then go hide!”
“Here, here!”
Gaon and the others headed for the corner Ha-yeon pointed out.
“Both stay still.”
Gaon, who gave a warning, took out the tomb of the hermit that he had retrieved the previous month from his bosom.
It was an item brought from an ancient ruin, and it was a magic tool for concealment that installed a magic screen in a certain range so that it could not be noticed when viewed from the outside.
It takes a long time to install, and its use is limited because it cannot be moved, but in the current case, it cannot be more reliable.
‘It’s okay.’
After 10 minutes, Gaon, who finished the installation, entered the atmosphere with his party.
The passage that was closed earlier opened at the same time as killing the stone statue, so there shouldn’t be a situation where the other party can’t enter.
After waiting for about an hour, I could feel the presence of people approaching from afar through my senses.
‘It’s here.’
Gaon, who combined the body shape and various information, was able to notice that the opponent was a girl around Ha-yeon’s age, and that he had stolen Gi-yeon as expected.
An artifact related to mana recovery, said to be the cloak of the sun god over his shoulder and the breath of a demon in his ears. And once a month, even an ancient artifact that can be moved to the coordinates you saved.
All of those things were meant to be in other people’s hands.
Again – again –
She was completely out of her aisle and into a cavity. And she came halfway to the joint and she stood tall.
‘Did he get caught?’
Although they erased the traces, it is difficult to simply restore the cracked floor with magic.
Maybe if there was a Millenya, but if you’re the type with good observation and a particularly severe sense of vigilance, you might feel a sense of difference.
After all, if you really have the ability to see the future, it would be a piece of cake to notice their location.
Gaon did not intend to hide his identity until the end anyway, so he gave advice to the party with his eyes and then went out.
Tadad-
As soon as Gaon appeared, the woman turned her head to meet her eyes.
Light blue hair that fades toward the end, and blue eyes that seem to embrace the sky as it is.
Even so, the cold flame burning inside the iris creates a strange atmosphere.
“You… Who is it?”
It seemed that he did not like the sudden appearance of a variable, but his expression showed that he had guessed to some extent.
“It’s called vacation. Can I talk to you?”
“… What are you talking about?”
Chow-
The woman accepted her words as if to have a conversation with her, but she stretched out the sky king’s wings with all her might so that she could intercept them at any time.
The beautiful blue wings were large enough to cover her entire body.
Each of the feathers that make up its wings pressed Gaon, armed with the same sharpness and hardness as a famous sword.
“How did you know this place?”
“… Just like you.”
Her eyes were torn and wide open.
After a moment of hardening, she raised her mana with hostility on her face for some reason.
At the same time, flames bloomed on the wings of the King of the Sky and began to burn blue.
‘Is it magic synthesis?’
Her realm is the same as that of Gaon.
An 8-star wizard can modify it the way he wants by combining different magics.
That was the type that pushed the speed to the limit.
Of course, as a magician, fighting in such a confined space without preparation would be advantageous to Gaon, but he was not an opponent to be careless about.
Gaon stepped back and said.
“I don’t want to fight. I just want to talk.”
“I have nothing to talk about with you.”
“Do I have to fight? Neither of them will be safe.”
She is scared now
I knew it because I had experienced Gaon.
In his previous life, he too, immediately after returning, had been intoxicated with a sense of omnipotence as if he had the whole world.
But he calmed down a bit, and then he stayed up all night worrying about what to do if there were any other regressors besides him.
That’s why he monopolized Giyeon regardless of the means and methods.
Even if he met the same regressor, he struggled not to have his own taken away, but rather to take the bastard’s and make it his own.
And he regretted it.
Gaon hoped that the woman in front of him would not experience the loneliness and regret he knew because he had already experienced it once.
However, humans are sometimes rational and rational, but at other times they are emotional animals that could not be more stupid than this.
She didn’t even listen to Gaon, she flapped her wings straight ahead and launched her feathers.
‘Fast!’
Gaon hurriedly kicked the floor.
She pulls her body out of her tracks as much as she can, but her feathers suddenly swerve halfway through and she chases straight after Gaon.
And,
Kwagwagwagwagwang!!
A frenzied wind blew through the cavity, caused by the explosion of feathers filled with formidable sparks.
