chapter 29
“Invasion? Hahaha! It’s the other way around! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for someone to come here?! I can’t even step out of this little magic circle, barely maintaining a body that is almost dead!”
It was a word with no meaning.
However, I could tell from the words I had just said that he was an ancient wizard and had been imprisoned here for a very long time for some reason.
And for some reason, I am very happy with my presence here.
Whoops!
“··········································································?!”
The light flashed again, and his stomach was hot.
Feeling the strength draining from my body along with the rushing pain that followed, I knelt down on my knees.
“Uh-huh….”
He looked down at his side, which had been completely torn off and was dripping with blood.
There was no time to activate the floating curtain because he could not react to the attack at all.
It was then that the voice of a suspicious man was heard.
“What, you? Why can’t you stop an attack like this when your soul’s rank is so high?”
Honey!
Blood from me floated in the air and flowed to him.
Soon, a voice filled with joy filled the cavity.
“Well, it’s okay. The blood of a being as high as yours can breathe life back into my body! I can finally get out of this damn place and go out into the world again! Haha! Hahahahaha!”
He lifted his head as he heard a buzzing sound in his ear.
It sucked up the blood it had taken from me and began consuming it greedily.
The more he did, the more his body expanded and contracted as if he was revitalized, and a huge energy swirled around him.
My mind was dizzy from the pain, but seeing the scene, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The man with a face full of exaltation after drinking all his blood tilted his head.
“What’s so funny?”
He slowly opened his mouth and squeezed his voice.
“Thank you for taking care of yourself…”
“What?”
“die.”
sucks.
The monster’s body collapsed, and the energy that filled the cavity disappeared at once.
extrasensory (4)
After confirming that the monster had fallen, I lowered my head.
It really hurts and I feel like I’m going to die.
The open side simmers and new flesh rises. Super regeneration was activated and the wound was regenerating.
However, whether the injury was serious or his magical power was slowing his recovery, he felt that his recovery was slow.
“Turn it off….”
He quickly recovered from his injuries and got up.
It felt like my body had lost its strength.
This was one of the most dizzying dangers I’ve ever been through.
If I had been hit in the head instead of in the side, I would have died. No matter how much you regenerate, you won’t be able to recover even your head.
The light of the magic circle that was illuminating the space also disappeared when the monster died.
I stared at the dead man and looked back at Ashel.
Ashel was lying on the wall, lying motionless.
I walked over to her, picking up the messy clothes.
“hey.”
I didn’t know if the injury was serious or how to wake it up, so I patted the cheek.
Her eyelids trembled, and then Ashel slowly opened her eyes.
I asked her, who blinked blankly in relief.
“Are you okay?”
“········Yes. How much of a monster am I?”
“Killed.”
Confused, Ashel immediately let out a small sigh as if she understood the situation, but then turned into a miserable look.
I got hit once and was fired after being fired, so to be honest, this time around, it was worth it. I can see the level, but she’s not.
“I’m sorry. Nothing else….”
“He was just as strong as the Overlord. Drink this because it’s self-blame.”
At that, Ashel opened her eyes and looked at me.
I took Scarlett out of my arms.
Fortunately, the attack hit right below it, so it didn’t go away.
Ashhel shook her head, set her sword on the floor, and staggered up.
“it’s okay.”
“Even if you want to drink.”
“No. It’s really fine.”
Anyway, I’m really stubborn.
I pretended to bring it to my mouth because I kept repeating that it was okay to stick it out forcibly.
Then Ashel, startled, stepped back, stumbled and fell again.
I was a little startled by the strong reaction, so I looked down at her as she fell. what is he doing alone
“Your condition is not normal, as expected.”
“············”.
A faint mixture of embarrassment and resentment was felt in Ashel’s eyes as she looked at this side.
So who kept insisting?
“Drink because it’s a command.”
Eventually, Ashel took Scarlett and drank it.
She is an irreplaceable talent for me. Can’t even a hundred bottles of this potion be wasted?
If there was any problem, I had to fix it right away so that there was no problem.
‘by the way······.’
I sighed inwardly and turned my head back to the fallen monster.
‘What the hell was that bastard?’
Why was there such a crazy level monster out of the blue in this forest?
No matter how many strong wizards were in the golden age of ancient magic, level 97 would have been one of the strongest on the continent.
‘I said Enpyrus Deima.’
The names of the ancient characters were unknown because they were hardly mentioned in the game.
It was in the ancient times that there were hardly any records other than the ruins that were buried all over the continent from the beginning.
I took a step and went up to the altar.
I looked around the dead man and saw something like a book.
I stopped picking it up.
Because the book was about to crumble with the slightest touch. How old are you?
Reluctantly, I sat down in front of the book and turned the pages as carefully as I could.
“············”.
what?
I stared blankly at the letters in the book.
So… this is an ancient script, but it was interpreted fluently.
I didn’t mind the thought of surviving before, but I had a natural conversation with the monster in an ancient language.
I came to a conclusion without difficulty in the ancient language that suddenly began to be understood as usual.
Because I’ve experienced this feeling before.
‘It was like that when I was first possessed.’
Even when I was possessed by this game for the first time, I had a conversation with the prisoner in the official language of the continent without any problems.
I don’t know the details, but I wondered if something similar to that had happened.
‘Is the conversation a trigger?’
It makes sense if the trigger is to talk directly with the other person in a language I don’t know.
I decided to check it again later, and for the first time I turned my attention back to the contents of the book.
– I wanted to be an eternal being.
That’s how the first sentence of the book started.
– All living beings are born with a mortal destiny. Even if we slow down aging with magic or other powers, even if we throw away the living body and resurrect as a dead body, the end will come in the end. I tried to overcome that limitation. He wanted to shed his mortal shell and become an eternal being.
What followed was about magic research.
After reading it, I didn’t understand it, so I skipped it.
– But in the end, despite all the hard work, I couldn’t achieve my wish.
– The end of the body that has lived for thousands of years has come. Originally, I could have lived longer, but the burden accumulated through various studies came to a limit.
– If you resurrect as a dead body using necromancy, you can extend your existence. But if that happens, you will never be able to return to being a living being again, and you will have to live the rest of your life as a dead body. It’s denying me everything.
– I have decided to meet my end in this place where I have been with you all my life. I don’t want to leave a legacy. All that’s left is this diary.
– Loneliness, I never imagined that the day would come when I would feel this feeling. If I had known that this would be the case, it wouldn’t have been bad to raise a few decent people as my disciples.
Up to this point, it seemed like the ordinary life of a magician crazy about magic.
But why didn’t he die and still live like this?
The answer to that came right away.
– At the moment of death, when we let go of everything, a new realization came.
– I realized a way to greatly extend the lifespan of this body, but to no avail. For him, the body of a high-ranking being was needed as a sacrifice. Far from saving sacrifices with the now dying body, it was only possible to sustain life within the barrier that had barely been spread out. What a cruel fate.
– The way to be reborn as an eternal, impeccable being seemed dimly lit. It can’t end like this. Even if I’m bound to this place and can’t move even a little, I’ll wait for someone to find it someday. Even if eons pass, I will not disappear, I will wait…
It’s a sacrifice… So, when he saw me, he was happy and ran wild?
Perhaps because of the spirit of the king, in his eyes, I was seen as a high-ranking being.
What followed after that was more and more messy.
I could see in the article that I was losing my mind because I had been locked up alone for so long.
After reading through the contents, I closed the book.
‘It’s nothing.’
it just wasn’t funny
So, after all, this place wasn’t the place that was written on the map, and this Enpyrus wasn’t the creator of the dungeon.
I found it by accident instead of the original dungeon where the ancient wizard had been unlucky enough to find the sealed place.
‘······What a crazy coincidence, this.’
Did I receive any penalty for being possessed by the game?
If you can even see the stat window, isn’t the luck stat displayed as -99?
Whenever I was looking for super rebirth, when I was looking for a floating curtain, or somehow, whenever I was trying to find a mystery, it felt like a crisis broke out without going smoothly.
Once again, I swear to myself and got up from my seat.
He wrote in his diary that he would not leave any legacy, so it was unlikely that he would find any relics.
Still, just in case, I went out of the aisle and looked around other places, but couldn’t find anything.
I only found out that this underground space was so absurdly large that it was no less than the monarchy where I was staying. Was it because an entire space as huge as this was buried in this forest?
Feeling empty, I said to Ashel.
“Stop leaving now.”
***
When I got out, I couldn’t see Railo for some reason.
‘Where else did he go?’
I waited to see if I had gone to see her, but after a while, she did not come back.
To say that he was attacked by anything, it was the same as when he entered without any traces of battle around him.
said Ashel, who came after taking my order and looking around.
“There doesn’t seem to be any special marks.”
“············”.
I pondered it over and came to a conclusion.
‘Maybe it jumped.’
It was a situation that could only be regarded as such.
Maybe he was frightened by Ashhel’s skills, so he just threw him out.
Because we witnessed the ruins together, we might have thought that we might be trying to shut our mouths by killing them.
‘It’s the way back, it wasn’t complicated, so it doesn’t matter…’
I sighed inwardly.
So, in the end, where is the dungeon that the real Taylor discovered?
It was a pity to just go back like this, so I decided to look for more.
We continued moving in the direction the branch was pointing.
After quite some time, I was able to find another luminous beast.
The luminous tree stood up close to a fairly large rock, surrounded by bushes.
I hoped to get closer and take a look.
Examining the lush vegetation revealed a small passageway between the rock and the ground.
“············”.
I stared at the passage silently and then turned my head.
Ashel also came closer and looked down at the passage, before making eye contact with me.
‘Fuck….’
Cursing rose up to his throat, and then he sank down.
So, I mean, I left this behind and went through a lot of trouble looking for useless things.
Aww!
I made Ashel widen the passage and went inside.
After passing through the narrow corridor, a large space appeared, and in the center, wooden giants like wooden dolls were standing.
【Lv. 48]
I clicked my tongue slightly as I looked at the shabby level above their heads.
Yes, it’s right here. The dungeon that Taylor discovered.
Soon, blue eyes lit up in their eyes, and ancient texts gleamed on the wall next to them.
– Adventurers, face the trials.
