Chapter 326

Episode 326 Ouroboros (1)

Unity.

Auxiliary magic that allows you to be recognized as a companion when using it, so you can move together when riding the labyrinth portal, and share experience points after defeating monsters.

It was during the height of the treason route that he learned that this magic was the way to destroy the [Unspoken Spirit].

After eating the essence of tranquility and trying for about 300 times, the royal family finally arrived. The time when I had the hope that I could see the king’s face if I went a little further.

[The character has been ‘bonded’ with the Guardian Knights.]

The NPCs of the royal family used this method on me and sprinkled shit on my long efforts.

Well, it wasn’t long before I found a way to break this law in reverse, but…

‘Still, I haven’t seen the king’s face once.’

Eventually I gave up the treason route.

Maybe this is the first time I gave up while playing this game… but

I don’t think it was a meaningless time.

Sometimes there is something to be gained in the process of failure.

Just like this.

“Chehehe…!”

A colossal torso slam combo followed by solidarity.

Ruchenpraha’s body, hit by this, floated in the air and fell backwards.

But watching it was a chore.

Aren’t fighting games like that too?

Once the enemy is in the air and unable to resist, you have to insert the linkage somehow.

‘transcendence.’

recite the command

Before his body goes out of range 20m.

‘The eye of the storm.’

A grab machine obtained by eating the essence of [Storm Gash].

‘Somehow it turned out that the settings were optimized for PVP.’

A strong gust of wind blew through the long sewer, and the flying body changed its direction and came towards me.

Therefore, he took a smashing stance.

And…

one two three.

‘now.’

[Swing] with all your might at the right time.

Kwajik-!

The sound of flesh and bones being crushed erupted from where the weight of the hammer had struck.

But I was not at all satisfied.

That’s not the sound I was aiming for.

‘It sucks.’

The smooth temples were the goal, but unfortunately he raised his arms. Even while being dragged by a gust of wind, he tried to stay awake and protect vital points.

‘Still, did he take one arm?’

It wasn’t a fatal blow, but I decided to look at it positively.

Arms bent at a deformed angle and dangling.

Looking at that alone, it is an undeniable fact that it caused considerable damage—

Tadat.

The impact caused the creature to fly toward the wall on the side, but after balancing in the air, it kicked the wall with one leg.

And…

‘This guy seems to have a lot of real combat experience.’

Instead of keeping his distance from me, he rushed towards me and swung his sword.

Whii Yii Yii-!

A hideous aura that feels sharp just by looking at it.

Because his agility was superior to mine, it was difficult to block it with a hammer in his current stance.

That’s why…….

Tadat.

This time I just backed out.

Ha, if it bounced backwards, I would have kept the momentum while chasing it.

iron puck.

The distance of about 10m widened like that, and there was a lull for a while. He asked me while taking a jockeying ceremony with the sword held in his one free arm.

“How did know?”

Looking at the breath running in the middle, it seemed that the damage from the torso headbutting and arm crushing remained.

Um, so you talked to me to give me time to recover?

While analyzing the enemy’s condition, I laughed at the words that followed.

“I don’t think anyone knows about this essence…”

A voice wishing for an answer to the contradiction he encountered.

yeah i was just curious

Well, I would have tried to hide this weakness.

Maybe that’s why I always went alone. Even if we went together, there would never have been a ‘bond’ with them.

Because at that moment, the weakness of the [Unspoken Spirit] was revealed.

‘Looking at it now, it seems that the [Unspoken Spirit] caused the community to squirm at the Annihilator.’

In order to overthrow the royal family, he must have needed a companion who would not lose his power even if he did not form a ‘bond’.

For example, a wizard or a priest.

However, since the priest would not cooperate in killing the king, the value of the ruin scholar would have been relatively higher.

It’s because he’s a top-notch wizard and also a ‘evil spirit’.

“Yes, it must have been a demon……”

He looked at me and murmured.

Actually, I didn’t say a word, but it seemed that I came to a conclusion by playing drums and drums by myself.

Well, it wasn’t a wrong conclusion, but…….

‘You don’t know how to reverse the law.’

Through our conversation, I was able to convince him that he didn’t know how to counter-strike. If I had known, there would have been no reason to insist on being alone.

I energized the hand holding the hammer.

‘I’m glad it was 20 years ago.’

Of course, we don’t know what will happen in the future.

Maybe when we meet again, this part will be reinforced.

He might have swapped out a few essences too.

Swordsmanship may also reach the stage of perfection.

What is certain is that considering his notoriety 20 years from now, there is a high possibility that he will grow into an enemy that I will not be able to win.

But…

‘That’s not today.’

I recited the command.

What could be the reason for staying silent until now?

‘transcendence.’

‘The eye of the storm.’

During the conversation, the cooldown cycled again.

***

The phase of the battle went pretty simple.

Quaang Quaang-!

The Aura and the double number, the Demon Grinder, clashed nonstop and exchanged hands.

And…

‘Crazy, how do you fight so well?’

I felt the wall for the first time.

There were many times when I was pushed back in the spec, but it was because it was the first time I felt this way in martial arts.

Slow-!

The skin that cuts away at the moment of miscarriage.

His sword was as flexible as a snake and at times as hard as steel.

no where is that?

It had a definite shape and expression even to me, the black blind eye of that bastard.

To put it simply, it was the first type of enemy I encountered in my life.

Even if they were Amman knights, if they were driven into a dogfight, the match would have been decided by instant judgment in order to kill each other.

Slow-!

The wounds are gradually accumulating on the body.

The speed at which wounds increase is faster than recovery by natural regeneration.

However, there have been no fatal injuries so far.

It’s not because I’m good at avoiding it, it’s because I’m periodically opening potions.

Chiyiyiik-!

Air bubbles boil from the deep cut and the flesh rises.

After briefly checking the status, I took a back step.

And…

‘transcendence.’

‘The eye of the storm.’

The cooldown has just turned around again and I use the grab machine to pull him.

But this time, the situation was similar.

At first, as if to prove that he had been attacked simply because he did not know, he did not panic at all and swung his sword using the dragging speed.

Whii Iik-!

Hoo Now the timing is like a ghost.

From now on, I’ll just have to seal the grab machine.

Tadat.

Avoid the sword and step back once more.

In response, he stepped on the ceiling and quickly closed the distance and started talking.

“Who are you?”

Kwaaaang-!

“Looking at the woman and her colleagues.”

Kwaaaang-!

“Are you also from the royal family?”

It’s crazy.

A lot to say once.

I was annoyed by the guy who didn’t stop talking throughout the battle, but I also heard this question.

‘Did you send it from the royal family? Why is the royal family suddenly appearing?’

Of course, it was a short-lived question.

Wasn’t it the situation where the allied forces of the royal family and the castle lord invaded the eastern region occupied by Orculis?

It is no wonder that such misunderstandings arose.

But there’s only one thing I’m really curious about.

‘But what will happen now?’

I didn’t even think about killing him here.

In the first place, according to the original history, this guy will appear in front of Amelia not too long from now.

But…

‘It’s hard to win, but I don’t think I’ll lose.’

I think I can hold on to this place for hours as long as I want to.

I’m not sure what, though.

Unless there’s a sudden unexpected variable, even all day—

‘huh?’

It was then.

As if the horse would become a seed.

iron puck.

A popular chuckle was heard from afar.

and at the same time.

With one mind and one mind, the guy and I spread our distance from each other and quickly checked the direction of the crowd.

I didn’t hear anything wrong, there really was someone.

‘Nimiral.’

That someone was a person in my memory.

And looking at it, it seemed that Ruhenpraha also had information about that man.

“……Jerome St. Red.”

As soon as Rühenpraha murmured briefly.

The silver-haired knight on the other side of the aisle also opened his mouth.

“Ricardo Lühenprague.”

It was far from a heartfelt statement.

Their voices and eyes overflowed with hatred and intent to kill each other.

Well, since the ‘traitor’ who would kill the king and the guardian of the royal family met, it could be said that it was a natural result.

I quickly finished assessing the situation.

‘Okay, I’ll have to jump out after the two fight.’

The reason why the knight of light followed me into the sewer must be me, but considering the two are enemies, it would be possible to turn the crisis into an opportunity.

With that in mind, it was a car that measured the angle of the bounce.

Unfortunately, there was a guy who was quicker than me.

“two.”

Ruchenpraha uttered an incomprehensible syllable.

And…

“… Huh?”

I started to escape by taking the fork in the road next to me.

It was only after seeing them that I was able to realize what ‘two’ meant.

‘……Crazy things like this?’

He misunderstood that I was on the same side as him.

***

It was a misunderstanding that Rüchenpraha misunderstood me as a member of the royal family, and it was a misunderstanding because I hadn’t properly resolved it.

Heck, even if I were him, fighting one-on-one in this situation would have been burdensome.

That sentiment makes sense.

Well, what I have to do now is not empathy.

‘Ah… first, let’s jump out too.’

For a moment, even though I was taken aback by the escape from Rühenpraha, I quickly came to my senses and moved my feet.

Still, deep inside, I longed for it.

‘Please please please……’

Please follow him, not me.

huh? He’s a madman who wants to kill your king.

Tadat.

As I started to run, after a while I heard a sound behind me.

I think I’ve finished worrying about who to follow…

Chow.

ha yes

There’s no way it could be solved this easily.

slap stilt-!

The sound of the guy following behind him continued.

It seems that he decided that collecting the fragments of the records I had should be the priority before the ‘traitor’.

Well, or the last thing left behind.

Flash-!

As Ruhenpraha fled, he used the [Gate of Light] to block my path.

I didn’t know because it was far away, but the impression was different.

‘What is this guy, why are his eyes gone…’

Where is the impression of Hogu from when we met before?

“Did you think you could make fun of me and return alive?”

Maybe it was self-employment, I didn’t know.

isn’t that It was an easy and fast route, so I picked that one and started running, and then, before I knew it, only enemies were left around.

Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean I regretted it.

It’s the fault of the guy who cheated in the first place.

“Before I punish you, I will ask you one thing.”

He continued talking as he pointed his sword at me.

“What’s your relationship with him in Rühenpraha? Was he the one who instructed me to bring the fragments of records?”

It was a bit ironic.

Ruchenpra thinks I’m on the same side as him, and this guy thinks I’m on the same side as him.

I think it looks like a shrimp stuck between the whale’s back… but what can I do?

I’ll have to try to wiggle it somehow.

So in that sense…

“Yes, did you notice.”

Instead of clearing up the misunderstanding, just affirm it.

Judgment that this is more helpful right now.

In fact, when I nodded, his pupils trembled.

“Did you already hand over the item to him?”

“well.”

I found out because I was wearing a lion mask.

The fact that the basis of lying is to convince yourself.

“What do you think?”

I shrugged my shoulders as if to imagine it on my own, and he began to pat hard.

“…So that’s why they split into two and ran away.”

“As if the reputation of being a Knight of Light didn’t get wasted, your brain is working.”

When I praised him at the right time, he pressed his lips.

I desperately hardened my expression.

And I sprinkled the last seasoning on the almost finished rice.

“I won’t let you go to the captain. Come on.”

An expression of a will to somehow attract time for a great cause.

However, it was also a meaningless resolution in front of Jerome.

No matter how much I try to take my time, it’s enough for him to pass me by using the [Gate of Light].

In fact, that’s exactly what I was hoping for—

“Kuhuhh…”

What the fuck, you bastard. why are you laughing all of a sudden

Did you even do it?

As I frowned, he wiped away his laughter in an instant and stared at me.

“I almost fooled you again.”

“……what?”

“It doesn’t matter if your words are real or not. It’s a matter of killing you first and checking.”

“But it’ll be late—”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re late. To arrive at your destination without being overzealous and stepping on the steps.”

Soon after, the guy looked at me and said coolly.

“That is the way of a knight.”

Apparently, he had figured out his own way to survive in a world full of scammers.

‘……Is there no choice but to fight in the end.’

I quietly lifted the hammer.

No matter how much he continued talking, he didn’t seem to be shaken.

“…….”

“…….”

The silence continued like that.

The moment of victory when breathing crosses right before each other swings their weapons.

Suddenly, an old man’s laugh came from behind.

“Heh heh…….”

Because Jerome was in front of him, he couldn’t turn his head to check.

However, it was not difficult to recognize who it was.

“You’re very good at deceiving people.”

Auril Gavis.

However, in the case of Jerome, was it a first acquaintance with him?

“……Reveal your identity, old man.”

The silver-haired knight opened his mouth high-handedly.

That was the moment.

“You’re a rude friend.”

At the same time as Auril Gavis’s voice echoed through the sewer.

“……Kuck!”

The man called the Knight of Light covered his neck with his sword-free hand.

His expression looked strained, like someone having trouble breathing.

His gaze was directed toward my back, but what filled his pupils was a feeling of astonishment.

“All of you… Who the hell are you…”

“I don’t see any particular value in you.”

“It’s so loud…!”

“Just disappear.”

The moment Auril Gavis finished speaking in a dry voice, Jerome’s body stretched out in the air.

Goosebumps sprouted up his spine.

……Could it be dead?

Like killing a fly so easily for the strongest knight in the royal family?

As if to clear my doubts, a voice came from behind.

“He’s not dead. He’ll probably wake up in the palace.”

Oh, are you talking about that integer?

I slowly turned my back, brushing away the thoughts that had passed through my head.

“Now you’re looking at me.”

The look of the old man smiling benevolently was very different. That’s because the corners of the mouth were definitely crooked, but the eyes weren’t.

‘……How much do you know?’

Gavis, who will be afraid to swallow without knowing, opened his mouth.

“The barbarian you mentioned. Bjorn, son of Thor.”

“…….”

“When I went to the city and asked, a kind young man told me something. It’s called the Iron Mask because he always wears a thick helmet that covers his face.”

“…….”

“Just like you.”

yes you know everything
