chapter 3
‘It’s fucked.’
Whatever it is, it’s completely messed up.
Even if there is instant death, it cannot be activated unless it comes into contact with the target.
When that unknown opponent, who was furious with the provocation just before, launched an attack, my life was over.
…but fortunately, no such disaster occurred.
slurp.
After a while, darkness filled the air, and a man in a robe appeared from between them.
***
Daphon walked the aisle across the convoy and the crew’s corpses.
Things went smoothly as planned.
The target factor has been killed and the ship’s equipment has been severely destroyed, so the convoy will soon sink.
Now, after killing Kwon Seong for the last time, there is only one thing left to do is return without leaving a single survivor.
Although I thought that the side of Lognar Kingdom would prepare for it, it was surprising that a man of five stars was drawn in.
Five Stars of Saintea. It was unreasonable to deal with a strong person like Kwon Seong, no matter how much it was a day phone.
But he wasn’t too concerned. Because there were cards prepared for these variables.
‘Is it over there?’
The strong energy felt downstairs made Dayphone immediately convinced that it was Kwonseong and headed there.
The interior of the cabin, which seems to be one of the prisoners’ confinement spaces, was already a miserable scene with the bodies of the prisoners.
It was difficult to control even the prisoners who ran rampant when the convoy was attacked, so they must have dealt with it all.
He leisurely moved into the cabin while hiding, and as expected, he was able to find the authority Garton.
“I am Gwonseong Garton. If there is anything you want to leave, please listen to it.”
As long as he was living alone, Kwon Seong placed his hand on the prisoner’s head.
Dayphone stood at a distance and watched the scene.
I couldn’t figure out what was going on, but the last prisoner seemed to have listened to his will and deal with it.
‘I’ll have to attack the moment I kill it.’
If possible, it would be better to start the battle by surprise at the most appropriate time.
After making his decision, Daphon waited for Kwon Sung to explode the prisoner’s head.
And soon the prisoner’s mouth was opened.
“die.”
Daphon’s eyes widened in astonishment at the scene that followed.
‘···········?!’
At the prisoner’s words, Kwon Seong’s body collapsed to the floor.
At that moment he had no idea what had happened.
‘I’m dead…’
No breathing, no heart beating.
In the fallen Kwonseong, the signs of life were completely cut off, and no energy was felt anymore.
it’s really dead
One of the Five Stars of Seintea, a renowned uninhabited man on the entire continent, in an instant.
Dayphone stopped breathing reflexively and killed Ki-chik to the max.
A prisoner man with restraints on his hands and feet, looking down at the dying Kwonseong.
It was unbelievable, but it was a sight that had no choice but to think that he had killed the powerful Garton.
But how?
He didn’t lift a single finger. The only thing the man did was to utter a short ‘die.’
‘···················································································································? Is it some kind of speech?’
But how could there be a word or spirit capable of killing a strong man of authority at once? What the hell is it?
Dayphone stared at the man with supremely confused emotions.
The appearance of a variable far beyond the assumption. I didn’t know what to do in this absurd situation.
surprise attack? It’s crazy to fight an unidentified monster who killed Kwon Seong at once.
Even if he used the power he had originally intended to use to kill the power, which was provided by the 4th Lord of the Dead, the odds of success were unknown.
So should I retreat like this? But without knowing the identity of that unknown person, I just want to go back…
‘··········!’
In an instant, Daphone felt goosebumps welling up all over her body.
It was because the man who suddenly turned his gaze was staring at him.
“Don’t act like a rat and come out.”
. . . was heard. Since when?
Dayphone felt the greatest shock and disappointment at the fact that the stealth was discovered so easily.
It was because he had the highest level of stealth ability on all continents.
I thought about trying to escape even now, but I gave up.
Even before that, life could be blown away in an instant, just like the last power. It was an attempt that was too risky.
slurp.
Dayphone, who appeared, made eye contact with the man.
An indescribable sense of intimidation is felt in the empty eyes that do not show any emotions.
Dayphone was only vaguely intuition.
That the man in front of him might be a strong man on an equal footing with the monarchs.
“······Who are you?”
After a moment of silence, Daphon asked.
The man just stared at him with his mouth still closed, as if he had no intention of answering.
unspoken pressure. Dayphone guessed the meaning of that gaze and devised what to say.
Although his identity cannot be guessed at all, he is being escorted to Acemon as a prisoner and is a person who has killed the authority without hesitation.
At least there’s no way they’re friendly, so it wouldn’t matter if they revealed their identity. No, it would be better to make it clear.
“I am a member of the Calderic Monarchy, not affiliated with Daphon, the Kingdom of Lognar, or the Union of the Seinthea Empire.”
At those words, a subtle change occurred in the expression of the man who had no idea what he was thinking.
“······The Calderic Monarchy?”
After muttering like that, he takes a breather and asks.
“What did you do to the ship?”
“If you want to know the condition of the hull, the convoy will not reach Acehmon and will soon sink.”
At that moment, the man’s expression frowned slightly and then straightened back.
Again the conversation was cut off.
As if that was all he was curious about, the man didn’t ask anything else.
He didn’t seem interested in the purpose of attacking a single convoy in Calderic or in the details.
‘Are you happy for now?’
Dayphone was a little relieved by the attitude in which no hostility was felt.
No, it wasn’t that there was no hostility, it was just that the question had been resolved, so it seemed close to not being interested in the existence of this place anymore.
As long as they didn’t attack, the man didn’t seem to care any more about escaping or whatever he did.
However, Dayphone was hesitant to return.
It’s because it’s just a shame to go back like this.
Because he, too, was in a state of growing more doubts and curiosity about this strange man.
“Why is a person like you a prisoner on a convoy?”
A monster whose ability and power cannot even be measured, which killed the Gwonseong in an instant and saw through the secret of this place.
To Daphon, this situation seemed ridiculous, as if he found a dragon crouching quietly sleeping in the corner of the cage where the goblins were kept, with his frail shackles.
Koo!
The hull shakes violently and begins to tilt.
The man still didn’t do anything, and the question didn’t come back either.
Dayphone, who was staring at him, suddenly realized something.
‘······· I think I understand.’
Empty eyes with cold emotions. Complete indifference to the surroundings. A unique gloomy atmosphere.
I know this because I’ve been through a similar person.
It was clearly the attitude of a person who no longer felt any meaning to life.
Perhaps everything is irrelevant to that man.
Even when the ship was sinking soon, it seemed that he had no intention of escaping. Whether you die or not, your life doesn’t matter.
It must have been just a small whim and interest in the moment that killed the authority and talked to him.
woohoo!
Once again the hull vibrated.
Dayphone felt a great disappointment.
A giant this size no longer has any interest or regret in the world, and is committed to sinking into the cold seabed and disappearing.
That disappointment made him come up with a rather impulsive proposal that did not fit the situation at all.
“Would you like to go with me?”
I just hope that I can ignite even the smallest spark of interest in this man’s heart.
“To the overlord castle of Calderic.”
Escape (3)
An unidentified man wearing a black robe.
But for some reason, his attitude was so cautious at first glance.
I quickly noticed that the other party is firmly misunderstanding something about this situation.
‘·······Is it because of authority?’
Were you watching me kill the power?
So, what do you think of this as an incredibly dangerous person beyond the authority?
······ Surely you are misunderstood. If so, that reaction was understandable.
If not, then why would a strong person comparable to authority be wary of a prisoner fluff?
Anyway, for me now, it was an illusion I was most grateful for, so I tried to keep my expressionless expression as much as possible to match the rhythm.
I’ve been asking who it is, but I’m not sure what to say. Better to just shut up.
If you reveal your emotions for nothing, you will be in a more disadvantageous position.
“I am a member of the Calderic Monarchy, not affiliated with Daphon, the Kingdom of Lognar, or the Union of the Seinthea Empire.”
The man first introduced himself at will.
“······The Calderic Monarchy?”
But what about Calderick?
One of the four major forces of Lhasa that divides the continent along with Seintea, the Calderic Monarchy?
‘Is the current situation what this guy did?’
In addition to authority and Calderik, what the hell were these giants doing in a convoy?
I was just guessing that something unusual might have been involved in a power struggle.
What is more important to me now is their immediate survival, not their purpose or circumstances.
I glanced at him and asked.
“What did you do to the ship?”
The shaking hasn’t stopped since before, but it’s not like it’s sinking or anything like that…
“If you want to know the state of the hull, the convoy will not reach Achemon and will soon sink.”
What is this bastard?
Without realizing it, my poker face was momentarily broken.
I was soon sentenced to be buried in the middle of the sea, but I couldn’t help but cringe.
“Why is a person like you a prisoner on a convoy?”
I also want to grab the guy who put me in the game and ask him, so shut up.
Now what?
Their hands and feet are still tied, and in the meantime, the ship is said to be sinking soon, and a monster close to level 90 is staring at me in front of me.
To make matters worse. The situation didn’t get better, it just got worse and worse.
What do you do when you stay cool? Is there any way to survive in this situation?
Koo!
It warns that the hull, which begins to shake more violently, is running out of time.
‘But what makes him so relaxed?’
No matter how high your level is, can you escape from the middle of the sea with your bare body? Is the land close?
Heck, he’s the one who made it happen, so there’s got to be some way out.
‘Whether it’s preparing another ship or teleporting… Ah.’
I’ve been thinking about it up to that point.
In this situation, there is only one lifeline that can be hoped for.
‘If you get help from that robe.’
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to at least avoid being buried with the convoy?
But the obvious problem is…
‘There’s no way I can help you.’
What’s the reason for him to do that?
Currently, his stance towards me is clearly ‘boundary’.
Since we do not know the power of this side, it must have been that he was not attacking recklessly and was taking a cautious attitude.
In such a situation, you can’t escape the ship and you can’t unfasten one restraint, so ask for help?
In fact, it was found out that he was nothing more than a shrew, and the probability that his neck would fly off immediately seemed much higher.
However, the reality is that no matter what, he is the only one left.
If you want to save your life, you have to figure out a way.
Whether he uses the illusion he harbors in me or whatever he does, somehow he finds a way to escape…
“Would you like to go with me? To Calderik’s Overlord Castle.”
······what?
I looked back at him, hiding my confusion.
“The Overlord values ability above all else. Race, origin, or past are of no importance in Calderic. If you are a lord, the Overlord will surely welcome you.”
“············”.
“Calderick differs from Seinthea in many ways. At least there will be more that will intrigue the Lord rather than a land of mortals.”
Even the name was changed to Gyeong-gyeong.
