Chapter 101 – The Hero of the Fantasy World
Blaheim. He was originally a white mage with a pure heart.
One day, by chance, a wizard passing by the village heard that he had a talent, so he wanted to develop that talent.
He left the village to follow his magical path, leaving behind his parents and lover.
He left the village and lived an adventurer’s life in another city, earning money and spending his days researching.
One day, he happened to hear that the village he had left was attacked by bandits and all the people were either killed or sold into slavery.
He immediately borrowed his horse and went to the village, seeing his old village really crumbling and burning, and vowed to avenge him.
In a fit of rage that his village was burned down and his lover and parents all killed, he sets out to avenge the bandits.
I went to find them, but they were quite a large group that I couldn’t handle alone.
He also realized that a certain nobleman was looking after him and that he could never take revenge alone.
He noticed an unclean aura emanating from his body around the time he was frustrated by the fact that he couldn’t even avenge his lover and parents.
One of the demons accidentally found him lying on the floor drunk and tempted him to ask if he wanted power.
Having lost everything and having only emptiness in his heart, he eventually fell into the devil’s temptation and ended his revenge with new powers.
It wasn’t enough to kill all the thieves who ravaged his village, he revived them as undead and ordered them to kill their families.
He captured the city of a noble who looked after the bandits and tortured him until he begged him to kill him.
In the process of torturing the nobleman, he heard that there was another nobleman who had given orders to the bandits.
Having finished all the vengeance by destroying the noble city, he goes to the place where their bodies are to remember his lover and parents.
He resurrected them with his own power and settled down in the demon realm where the demons are staying.
“Blheim.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Brigade commander Gamigin, one of the demon king’s limbs under Blaheim, called Blaheim.
Gamigin, who has two large horns on his head and wears ornate ornaments all over his body like his shaman, stroked his staff and said,
“They say that there are a lot of humans near the Fortress Devil’s View.”
“Yes, I heard the news too. The lord of the city near the Devil’s Palace said he was quite greedy.”
“I am not interested in human affairs. The reason I called you is to give you an order to kill the humans in the Devil’s Realm and bring back their souls.”
“You mean the soul…?”
“Yes, the fort frontlines are just standing still and confronting, so there aren’t many things to do to get hold of human souls.”
Gamigin, who has a deep knowledge of spirits and necromancy, is because of the sluggish war these days.
It was a very unpleasant situation when I couldn’t get my hands on the human souls needed for research.
“Okay, I’ll kill the humans near the Devil’s Edge and offer their souls to Gamigin-sama.”
Accepting Gamigin’s command, Blaheim bowed his head and accepted his command.
“Okay, go and harvest as many souls as you can and come back.”
“Yes.”
Following Gamigin’s orders, Blaheim, who came out of the palace where he was staying, completed his revenge.
He thought as he walked with his parents and lover, whom he had resurrected as undead and who had always been by his side, whom he never separated from.
‘I guess we can start with the nearest town.’
Gamigin is very sensitive when conducting research, so it was necessary to complete the order as quickly as possible in order not to dislike him.
By the time Blaheim, who had received such an order, was heading towards the village with his undead army.
Knowing that the village would soon be invaded by demons, Lee Jin-seok was in the midst of preparing to attack it.
‘Bleheim’s weakness was the three undead he always had with him.’
Bleheim revives his old parents and lover and always carries them by his side.
I have a very strong attachment to him, so the moment one of the three is broken, my mentality goes out.
From the moment his mental went out, his eyes went back and he couldn’t maintain a cool mind that was the most important thing to a wizard.
He was a tactician who could do nothing but charge the gathered undead, so he was a guy who could easily attack without much difficulty if he challenged after having a certain amount of strength.
‘But the problem is that the power is still lacking…’
When I killed him with the minimum cut after the tutorial, most of his stats were [Medium], But it was thanks to the item farming already finished with the old man route.
Probably, if he fought with Notem, there was a high possibility that he would struggle even if he had the ability of [Slander].
In addition, there was a high possibility that he would need more abilities because he had to fight while protecting the villagers from dying rather than fighting alone.
‘If only the mental ability had taken [Award], I wouldn’t have had to worry like this…’
If it was that keen sense I tasted while raising my evolved body to LV.2 the other day.
He would have been much easier to deal with them, but by the time he had raised his mental stats to some extent with elixirs.
I tried using it once out of curiosity and felt like my brain would explode, so I was just sealing it.
As I pondered how to stop the invasion without causing any damage, I realized that it was morning with the faint sunlight coming through the window.
‘It’s already been so long.’
I haven’t made a perfect plan yet, but I had the most important thing to do, so I simply washed my face and left the house.
“You are here.”
“Yeah.”
When I left the house and headed to the plaza, I could see Arkhan waiting for me at the plaza.
“Are you ready?”
“Do you have anything to prepare? All you have to do is go.”
Haha, that’s right, with the power you have, you won’t be beaten outside.”
It was because there was no special event to do until the invasion, so I learned swordsmanship from Arkan diligently and cut the monsters every time I went out.
Now, even if the Orcs attacked in droves, they had enough strength to easily deal with them.
“Then let’s go now.”
Nodding her head at Arkhan’s request to leave, I thought about the most important thing to do today.
‘First of all, the most important thing is to inform the villagers of the invasion, and if you’re lucky, you might know who’s invading in advance.’
Although knowing about an invasion in advance and preparing for it can reduce the damage much more than being unaware of it and being surprised.
If I told you that the village was invaded by demons, there was a high possibility that no one would believe it and dismiss it as a joke.
I was planning to warn the villagers by finding evidence that demons are invading this place outside today.
If the invading demon was the one I was expecting, it was clear that he would have placed his equipment near the village he was going to invade.
Leaving the village with Arkhan, I led the way to find evidence that could inform about the invasion.
“Jinseok-ah, this is a place where you don’t have to come.”
“In case you didn’t know, it’s not that far from town either.”
“It is, but.”
Arkan looked at Lee Jin-seok, who was different from usual, and tilted his head.
‘Why is he doing that…?’
The guy who was always frantic about catching monsters when he came out, so he only looked for places where they came out like a ghost.
Suddenly, even monsters didn’t approach, so I thought it was strange to wander around a place where the road wasn’t clear.
“Hurry!”
“Oh, yes! Go!”
He’s older than he used to be and although he’s retired, even himself he’s had a rough mercenary life.
At the call of Lee Jin-seok, who was only looking for a difficult road, Arkhan threw away his thoughts and immediately moved to follow him.
‘This should be it…’
After briefly calling Arkhan, who was coming from afar, I was circling around to find the object I had seen in the original work.
Ever since he tried to take revenge on thieves and nobles, Blaheim had a strange hobby.
That is, he had hidden a mineral made of dark magic somewhere near the place he was going to raid.
Because that mineral creates unclean mana for a certain period of time and summons many monsters nearby.
After the raid is over, it’s easy to make things look like the monsters attacked.
It was started with the hope that if it was discovered, the target of revenge would see it and tremble in fear.
Of course, you don’t have to do that to a remote village like this, but it’s a habit built over a long period of time.
He always gathered the monsters by placing the equipment he had made near the place he was going to attack.
While I was searching the ground carefully, the system suddenly spoke to me.
[Are you looking for something like that?]
At the sudden words of the system, I lifted my head from looking for objects and immediately confirmed that something was marked on the map.
As the system approached the location marked on the map, it found an ore carved into the shape of a black skull.
‘Why didn’t I tell you earlier?’
[Because you didn’t ask.]
I said harsh words to the system that didn’t tell me because I didn’t ask this time, and I slowly approached the ore embedded in the ground.
It may have been carved into the shape of a skull, but a very ominous energy emanated from the ore.
I took it in my hand and looked around, then showed it to Arkhan, who came next to me before I knew it.
“Mister, what is this?”
“What? That, that’s…!”
Arcan, who was approaching while gasping behind Lee Jin-seok’s fast pace, was startled to see what was in his hand.
Arkhan, who had a lot of miscellaneous knowledge because of his life as a mercenary, was once.
He had heard the news that there was a necromancer who captured the city single-day.
He had seen with his own eyes that there was a skull-shaped ore cut like that nearby.
‘Is that guy destroying our village…?’
But no matter how much he thought about it, he thought there was no reason for a guy who only captured cities to attack a village with few people.
Arkhan soon realized that he was complacent and changed his mind.
“Jinseok, is it okay if I touch that once?”
Thinking that it might be a lie, Arkan took over the black skull Lee Jin-seok was holding.
As Arkhan examined the handed over skull, his face gradually hardened when he realized that he was the same as the one he had seen before.
‘Still, it’s fortunate that the invading demons haven’t changed.’
I thought it was fortunate to see Arkhan, who accepted the equipment I handed over and stiffened his expression.
If it had been someone else, it would have been difficult to deal with and the damage would have been unconditional.
At least he knew him well, so he seemed to be able to stop the invasion more easily than he thought.
‘All that remains is how to invade…’
There were two methods for Blaim’s invasion.
The first is to invade with only one super strong undead.
The second is to drag the weak kids around and make a mess.
I hope this is the first method please.
It’s still in the tutorial period, so at least it’s ‘skeleton king’ or ‘bone golem’.
That was the reason that it was easy to handle with my ability, which was already outside the limits of the tutorial.
Anyway, the goal is the final boss, Blaheim, so it’s best to deal with the junk mobs as soon as possible.
If you only bring one, the best way to minimize damage is to just deal with it in an instant and face it quickly.
“Jinseok-ah, I guess I need to go back to the village soon.”
“Suddenly?”
“Yes, immediately, as quickly as possible.”
Right after those words were over, Arkhan, who returned to the village with all his stamina, hurriedly called the villagers.
At Arkan’s call to protect the village, people stopped working and he answered his call.
“So what did you call me for?”
At the words of the oldest chief of the village, Arkhan showed a skull carved with black ore that he had hidden in his bag.
“Everyone, look at this.”
“Oh! Be ugly!”
“No, you carry something like that!”
At a glance, people frowned and complained about the skull fragments, which felt ominous.
Watching their reactions, Arkhan slowly unraveled what he knew about the skull.
