chapter 57
57. Moving Sky
When something unignorable was happening in the spirit realm, time passed in the real world as well.
“Maybe we came too late.”
Professor Kukado drool as he watched the horror in front of him.
The corpses of huge monsters.
A space that shows the traces of battle.
They were dispatched to rescue G.Gren’s party and the missing students.
‘I figured out that they were going to the graves of the dead, but there shouldn’t have been any problems in terms of power. What the hell happened?’
Professor Kukado, like a man who has lived on the battlefield, has soaked himself everywhere.
I had a history of going to the sea where a large kraken came out, the jungle area where there were a lot of plants that could swallow people in one bite, and even the tomb of the dead who should never enter.
However, I could only count on one hand to see such a case in the tomb of the dead.
“Heh heh, don’t be impatient. You know very well that they are not talented people who will die anywhere.”
“…Of course.”
The bad-tempered Professor Kukado bowed his head.
A gray-haired grandfather who looks old.
A worn-out leather robe that seems to be worn by a beggar somewhere.
He wears a cone hat and a staff to show that he is a wizard.
Meridian.
He was the chairman of the academy and the great wizard of the 9th circle.
He personally came out to help as if he would do it tomorrow.
Meridian moved leisurely with her hands behind her back.
“The traces are connected. Thick divine power, an amount of magical power unlike a wizard, and even the magic of the Elyos’ unique ability… You’ll find it if you go a little further.”
Hol hol hol.
Meridian laughed leisurely, but there was one thing that was uneasy.
As Professor Kukado thought, this kind of work in the tomb of the dead was really one of a kind.
‘Is it a territorial fight? It’s not uncommon for gigantic monsters to fight over territory, but now they’ve settled down and it’s not easy to see… This is the 7th trace now.’
She recalled many cases with her extraordinary mind.
The most convincing hypothesis is.
‘It looks like the top predator has disappeared or the monsters have gained strength in droves.’
That something happened in the tomb of the deceased.
When the thought reached that point, Meridian sighed and put her hand on her cheek.
“Holhol, I can’t accept the bloody energy of the students these days. My body will be found first.”
“This, Chairman. Such a bloody joke…”
“That won’t happen.”
Someone appeared behind them.
A total of 12 people.
They bowed their heads in front of the chairman wearing gigantic robes that made it impossible to see their face, figure, or gender.
It was the group that Meridian and Professor Kukado met when they arrived at the tomb of the dead.
“Don’t worry, we’ll keep them safe. Shouldn’t Meridian rescue the students safely too?”
“That would be great. You guys are there too, so what kind of adversary will cover your face. But the joke I just made was about my age. Anyway, aren’t they all too rigid?”
Hol hol hol!
When Meridian laughed, Professor Kukado laughed awkwardly.
Meridian opened her eyes and looked at them.
‘Imperial knights and wizards? What moved that heavy and expensive hip?’
With his insight and knowledge, he penetrated his identity at once.
It was clear that he had no intention of attacking.
I understand that there is someone like you who is looking for it.
But who is it?
The missing students are El, Theo Artos, and Galihad Milliam.
I don’t think the emperor personally dispatched personnel to rescue them.
‘Maybe something bigger is involved.’
“Let’s go. My hair is falling out at this hour.”
Meridian laughed leisurely, spitting out words that contradicted her intentions.
***
Meanwhile, it wasn’t just the academy that had an emergency exclamation mark in their head.
Asmodians who live in the graves of the dead.
In particular, a meeting was held at the headquarters of the Mortal Religion, which is in charge of the apex predator.
“……”
“……”
There was a thick silence in the hall.
The person holding the meeting is none other than the roaster.
He was the first to hold a meeting, wearing a gas mask and carrying a flask bottle of poison on his finger.
The roaster crackled at the flask bottle, looking at the two seats that had yet to come.
It was a habit that came out when I was anxious.
– You hold a meeting. People like us don’t have time to experiment.
Baillock, a demon whose entire body is made up of robots, expressed his doubts while wiggling his mechanical arm.
“Has anyone seen it?”
– What do you mean?
“Where did Everin, the fallen dragon, and Azmode the gluttony go?”
– Do we need to know that?
He nodded his head as if he was not interested at all, as if it was a question he hadn’t thought of in the first place.
The roaster also agreed with that.
‘I’m not interested in Azmode’s disappearance. That guy must be burying his head in food and chomping somewhere else. Then where did Evelyn go?’
Everin is diligent despite her appearance.
She always sings that it’s annoying, annoying, but her meetings are always so proactive that she’s hot, and she’s Mortal’s only brain that takes care of annoying things.
It is true that the disappearance of such Evelyn is a major hindrance to the future of the Mortal Religion.
‘Why did he disappear at the same time as that guy who looked like a parasitic brother?’
That wasn’t the point.
Isn’t this the escape of that love?
It is said that among the love that humans do, if the father does not approve of the marriage, they will run away from love.
The reaction he showed when El was imprisoned in that huge monster cage.
The actions you do.
Even the tone of voice and expression.
Everyone remembers delicately.
Kwajik.
“Hey…!”
An angry hand burst the flask bottle.
Linadra, who proudly occupies one of her leadership positions, shivers from her fear and avoids the dripping poison.
“Yes, this is the time for you to step in! Your colleague is gone!”
Roster shouted, looking at Rinadra.
Linadra had never shown her strength before.
When did she rise to the top of the Mortal religion?
What kind of powers did she have?
She must have been beaten by demons in the first place. Everything was unknown.
“Oh no, that’s…”
– As expected, she is smart. Since when did we have a sense of fellowship?
Vaillock spoke for Linadra, who was trembling with fear.
– I don’t know about the fallen dragon, but it’s not a day or two that Azmode is away. Even if it disappears, it’s none of our business. If you’re really worried, go find the person you want.
“…I refuse.”
Drax, the man with the huge chain in his mouth, was the first to speak.
Lina Dra also shook her head trembling, but she had no intention of stepping out.
She already knew the strength of Yves Lin, so she firmly believed that she would definitely return.
“Are you going to come out like that?”
I honestly expected it, but the demons were colder.
The disappearance of a man occupying a position in the leadership was welcome.
Because she meant that she could have a higher power.
– That’s all I want to say. Then I’ll get out of here.
Charleureureuk.
Baylock and Drax were away.
What should I do? Lina Dra also disappeared in a hurry, looking at her.
He rested his chin on his chin and pondered what to do with the only remaining roster.
When everyone was away like that.
Velock moved stealthily in an empty space.
– Movement is constant. It was confirmed that the monster had torn the body apart. The location of the dragon is unknown. Presumably location tracker destroyed.
Take out the parts.
I could see tiny dots moving around in those parts.
It was a location tracker secretly attached to the body.
Baylock moved to check Azmod’s corpse.
***
I blinked.
“Where are you?”
A huge white space.
It was an empty room where nothing existed.
I recalled my last memory.
‘I’m sure I lost while fighting Aishia… In vain.’
His veins were attacked and he fell to his knees unable to do anything.
Even though he apparently borrowed the power of a warrior through necromancy.
The seat of the swordsman.
No, an existence outside the standard that is higher than the Sword Saint.
Involuntarily, I was angry at the seemingly infinitely tall wall.
Still, there were points gained.
‘I’m not too far away.’
I felt it.
I felt the wall to rise to the position of the Sword Saint at the last moment.
I’ll be able to reach you soon.
‘Should we get out of here for now?’
There was nothing to see, so I thought of walking aimlessly.
“You must be a lot dumber than I thought you were? Thinking of walking aimlessly across this vast space?”
Someone talked to me from behind.
“…You.”
I was used to it.
The person who spoke was another me.
The difference was that he looked much more delicate and smart than me.
“Is this the first time I’ve seen it like this?”
“Who the hell are you? Why do you have the same… No, the same appearance as me!”
“Same. What does that mean?”
The man shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know anything.
“We are distinctly different. We are not the same at all.”
He approached slowly.
I checked my body.
“You used your body like a piece of sh*t.”
I touched it, and divine light rushed into it.
“Is this divine power…?”
“You’d better take care of your body more. How did you try to live with blood veins?”
“……”
The twisted veins are restored.
I didn’t feel any pain. It was like a dream space.
“What are you…”
“Don’t wonder too much. We’ll see each other sooner or later.”
“Wait a minute!”
Just right.
The man snapped his fingers and passed out.
***
“Woke up.”
Aisia’s voice was heard.
My whole body hurts.
It was more painful than when I used the first necromancy.
I couldn’t move even if I tried to move my body, and like a stiff tree branch, it seemed like it would break with the slightest force.
When I opened my eyes with difficulty, I saw faces huddled together.
Aisia, G.Gren, Leatis, Isabelle…
‘Everin?’
I don’t know the English language, but even Evelyn, who only sticks out her face while hiding herself among the bushes.
The spirits also gathered and showed signs of concern.
“Kuh…”
“Uh huh. My body isn’t fully recovered yet. Don’t try to move hastily.”
Aisia laid her back down again.
Even in the pain, I felt a strange sensation.
‘It’s not cold.’
Something gigantic flowing inside the body.
I could feel the infinitely smaller pitch.
“You look like you don’t know what’s going on. You’ve damaged the palatal artery inside you.”
“That means…?”
“Now you have a vein that you can use.”
“!”
I wanted to use Aura just in case.
A huge aura coiled inside the Earth Dragon’s soul…
“Evil!”
“Who told you to move freely?”
Aisia hit her head with a bean.
“Your veins are not intact. It should be said that it is like a dirt road. If you misuse your aura even slightly, it will leak out of your veins and cause internal injuries. For some reason, your recovery rate is very good… You’ll need a name to do that.”
“Then did all the articulations in my body disappear?”
“That’s not true. Your terrible Yin energy melted across the pierced blood veins. To be precise, I induced it to melt into your very negative limbs.”
Huh.
I couldn’t believe it.
Is that possible? I couldn’t believe that it left such a result.
“Anyway, this seems to have achieved what everyone wanted.”
Those who got one by one from Asia.
Everyone nodded in satisfaction.
I opened the status window after a long time.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
[Status Window]
[Name: L]
[Gender: Male]
▼ Stats
[Strength: 92]
[Agility: 91]

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Among the characteristics, the palatal artery disappeared.
A status window that has grown after receiving training that can’t be ignored by Aishia.
In addition, if the blood vein is cured, you can even use the aura.
‘Swordsmanship is one step forward. It’s not long until the sword castle.’
The time has come to see the end of this game.
