8th floor – Lv. 159th Brigade Headquarters (9)
The knights appreciated that the wyverns and ogres charged more stupidly than they thought.
The lord wisely did not overconfidence in his fighting power, and headed for the shady back alley with the escort of the knights.
It’s funny, but once you reach a certain level, you know that vampire society exists as if it were overlaid on human society.
Vampires are like parasites that parasitize humans as hosts, but that’s why they have to protect their hosts.
The fact that the lord’s escort was attached in case of an emergency was not even an unwritten rule, but a strict agreement.
Even if it was misused, even the oath by magic was executed, so only important positions were known.
Of course, the guards knew. It’s not something I know, but it’s because I can’t know.
While the other knights struggled to block it, the captain of the bodyguard followed the lord into the darkness.
“Your precious person has come to a shabby place.”
There was someone to greet you. It was the shadow of a man standing naturally in a shabby abandoned house, as if the darkness was a part of him.
“I know the agreement is valid.”
Youngjoo answered, thinking it was a familiar voice.
“Thanks to that agreement, the country is not at war with us, so we should keep it.”
An attitude of some kind, a voice tired of fatigue.
It was a voice I had heard.
why?
Regardless of the lord’s question, the vampire moved.
“Our job in this castle is retreat support. You see?”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just before the face in the darkness was revealed, the lord realized who this voice was.“Alumni garrison commander?”
“It’s that kind of job when you pretend to be human. Don’t worry. The commander does a better job than me. He’s the type of person who truly has a sense of duty. He’s a real human being. Make him my successor.”
Unexpectedly, the captain of the bodyguard put his hand on the sword.
I tried to pull it out, but it didn’t work. The hilt of the hilt was heavy as if it had lead on it.
“No matter how surprised you are, you can try to pull out the knife all of a sudden. Captain of the escort.”
The captain of the bodyguard shuddered when he realized that a faint line of magical power was pointing towards his sword from his fingertips.
As far as he knows, the vampire clan that uses this castle as its territory is a pure fighter.
There is no such magical ability, and it is not specifically honed.
I’ve heard of Night Crow.
Each of the clan master-class vampire lords have their own unique abilities.
Then, every day, this man who received letters from his heart due to his negligence and infidelity… … .
“If the ogres and the Wyverns were the guys who use metal, what would I do by myself, but no matter how much I am, I’m a swarm of those monsters…”
The alumni garrison commander, no, the master of the Proboy clan said with a friendly smile.
“First, I will take you to a safe place and then return to participate in the war. Please return safely and call reinforcements.”
Youngju grabbed his head, but nodded nonetheless.
“I’m not like that.”
* * *
The goddess of chaos gathered all the party members. To be precise, it made the girl unite around her.
The leader of this party will not be contacted for a while.
You never know what you’ll hear if any of the party members you cherish while you’re away should die.
So I had to be careful.
‘Goddess, you can honestly say that I like you.’
“You also learned only bad things from him. Can’t you respect me a little more?”
‘But you’re not dangerous this time, are you?’
This question is a bit edgy.
The goddess was timid, but she did not go anywhere during the thousands of years she had been a god. And the girl is still young to see the acting.
“I used my strength. Even the God of Nature cannot get along well with the God of War anyway.”
When you lie, always hide it in the truth.
Fortunately, unlike the habitual offender ‘Uncle’, the goddess was still trusted by the girl.
The girl nodded and jumped off the wall to avoid the flying fireball.
The dagger flies.
Now I can’t even see my hands. It is a level that is not inferior to anyone who has taught it.
A dagger must be pierced into the ogre’s body to be scratched, but depending on the area, it can be serious.
The ogre grimaced as he grabbed his earlobe and felt puzzled as he saw the floor approaching.
Then, he fell on his own body and ended his life.
“Because the neck is thick, I can’t cut it cleanly even with a sneak attack. It’s hard to turn it round and round. Shall I use a longer knife too.”
“Originally, we do not insist on only one type of weapon. Shouldn’t we be well-versed in a variety of things?”
There is not always an environment to choose a weapon.
“Even the hunter uncle like that uses a bow every day.”
“I know how to wield blunts and spears.”
“Can you fight ogres with that?”
“That’s something I don’t want to do at all.”
“Ah, if it’s only that much, you don’t know how to handle it.”
The standards are way too high. The hunter did not answer and pulled the protester with a smile.
The ogre, who was about to attack the youngest, turns his head in surprise at the arrow flying around his eyes.
The hunter threw the bow upward for a moment, drew the gun from his waist and pulled the trigger.
round bullets fly It’s not a modern firearm, but it’s still faster than an arrow.
Tan dug into the ogre’s eye socket. There was no time to suffer.
My head exploded.
“It’s a matter of firepower, I don’t know.”
The hunter nodded with satisfaction. During his exile, ogres and trolls were feared.
He was proud of his ability as a pure archer, but he always lacked firepower to deal with huge monsters.
There were problems that it was uncomfortable to reload and difficult to fire, but I really liked the magical firepower.
It doesn’t even require gunpowder like a real Flintlock does. The scales used as the material already have the properties of fire and explosion.
Obviously, equipment was a problem before skills and anything else. Archers become extremely vulnerable after a few pre-emptive strikes.
If you get close and pull the bow against the opponent’s face, my head will split first.
Already, the monsters in the labyrinth are more than human beings.
The point at which the limit came even with a special arrow was the limit of the hunter at the same time.
I’ve never been to a future where time runs so fast.
They go in and out of the kingdom on a daily basis, but I don’t know because I’ve never been there.
Nevertheless, firearms that are manufactured in-house in the section before the kingdom produce sufficient power in terms of firepower.
In a way, a gun with magic correction in this way might be better than a purely physical weapon such as an anti-target sniper rifle.
“I’ll have to learn how to make it. Very hard work.”
The hunter said so and sighed.
It was because there was a slight rush of skepticism about what it would be like to invest time and pay attention to something that was only a means.
“The Temple of Time…”
* * *
Speaking of spirits, you can feel like a self-conscious creature.
However, the spirit of the labyrinth does not have a proper ego or thought.
They are a natural phenomenon in themselves.
Is there an ego in a typhoon or drought?
Spirits are like natural phenomena that have arisen in a world where magic and magical powers flow.
It is the aggregate of energy that resides throughout the world, and is the embodiment of the element.
Spiritual art is to materialize them in the form of a contract, borrow the self-consciousness of the working spirits, and establish them as beings with a certain amount of self.
So, you need to find the spirit first.
The crystallized element is like a corpse left by a dead spirit at the end of its lifespan.
If it was this size, it must have been left by a high-ranking spirit.
The magic circle is activated by the crystal as a catalyst. Countless leaf fairies sit around and find their place.
I am sitting in the center of the magic circle, and the fairy mage is beside it.
The subject of the contract is the age, but it is the fairy wizard who bears the subordinate, and it is the countless leaf fairy spirits who provide the driving force, the magical power.
In fact, it is an unstable environment to try to make a contract with the Spirit King.
In my memory, if there was an event like this in a more future continent, many people would come and watch like a cloud.
Researchers who want to get something in the process, wealthy people who simply come to see the value of the name of the King of Spirits.
The Spirit King’s contract is an event that is known all over the world under the name of a contract ceremony.
The current status is abbreviated among abbreviations. The level of filling a wedding ceremony with clean water and lip headbutting.
As always, it is a world without teeth. A good exile is one who is adept at chewing food with his gums.
I am good enough
The jewel in his hand shakes.
My mind entered the spirit realm.
What do you think of the spirit world in a digital world? It feels like that.
The five senses of the body, such as sight and hearing, become meaningless.
It is simply wandering through the sea of information that intuitively crashes into your head.
However, human beings still rely on vision to visualize the information they receive.
The Elemental Realm that I saw was like a board in a minesweeper game filled with squares.
Elements revolve all over the place. It burns, lightning strikes, and the earth shakes. There were places where the cold was seeping.
Let’s set the direction, the catalyst is the crystal of the wind, so what we need to find is the spirit king of the wind.
One step at a time, you start to take a step. Towards a place where the wind blows even a little more.
* * *
There was a small explosion.
The priest raised his eyes in surprise, but the source of the explosion was not the human performing the contract, but the wizard next to him.
my arm caught on fire A few water spirits hurriedly flew away and put out the fire.
The remaining wounds are advanced by the miraculous spring water that is already in the mouth.
And lightning strikes again.
This time it’s the head. The wizard’s body convulsed violently. My hair was all burnt out.
Healing magic is also an area that cannot be involved. Even if you don’t know about the activities of the spirits, the contract itself can be shaken if artificial magic is working.
The leaf fairies, including the priest, held their breath and looked at the center of the magic circle.
It was very rare.
A quiet leaf fairy.
Meanwhile, the screams of trolls were slowly approaching from a distance.
* * *
The wizard resisted the feeling of asking if it was okay to be gentle.
This power of the God of Magic originally exists to create a sense of unity when many people activate great magic.
It is not a one-sided burden. He forced himself to bear most of it through prayer.
The magic god has a very high chance of coming out with the exclusive suffix Knowledge. It was the same in this round.
He was satisfied with the fact that he was watching the Spirit King contract through the eyes of a believer, and he willingly resisted the throne for it.
The body is cold. The fairy mage thought, consciously trying to block the pain in the freezing body.
Why did this happen?
What has already happened is so great that what is happening to rectify it also becomes huge.
It’s the first time I’ve seen such a sudden change in the situation since less than two months after the new server was opened.
Most of the exiles are just getting caught up in the beginning.
Therefore, the continent in the early stages of the server is in a somewhat stable situation.
It may be an instant situation, but it is not enough to cause a major war.
Even if we win here today, the aftermath will be far-reaching.
Maybe even the seniors coming from the kingdom will get involved.
Among them, there will be those who are looking for [Racial Mainstream] but are just wandering around because they can’t find it.
* * *
It is not enough to be abbreviated, and there is also a limitation of time limit.
If I ever see the Goddess of Chaos again, no, yes, I really want to visit her and beat her until I cry.
Wouldn’t it be better to just retreat and think about what to do with the 10th floor then?
Of course, if you succeed, you will have one more trump card in your hand.
But I still don’t know what the 10th floor is like, so maybe I’m just too scared just because it’s an even-numbered boss floor?
What I’m doing right now might be harder.
The moment I thought that, I took the wrong step.
Of course, my body just sits upright.
Taking the wrong step is only information that is visualized and recognized.
darkness blooms You touched the element of darkness. It’s very bad for your mental health.
made an impression
If this passes, will the inspiration next to me survive?
* * *
The priest quickly pulled out the wizard. Suddenly, darkness bloomed, and then it collapsed.
As long as they live, the fairies know the fear of the dark.
Exiles also know that they will increase.
The fairies only fall into melancholy in such a way that they are forced to recall the memories they feel like they would die of shame.
But much more dangerous and painful things lurk in the memory of the exiles.
Still, the face of the fainted wizard is calm.
He stunned himself before anything happened. I don’t know how, but it may have been a wise decision.
lightning strikes
It is different from the small sparks so far.
The defense of the magic circle installed for the contract was to the point of being shaken.
went pretty deep. Deep in the spirit world, it may have touched a higher spirit.
How much time has passed?
The fairy’s sense of time, which stretched over the long years, was tightened more tightly than that of a human for this moment.
A small bird-shaped fire spirit that floats to count the time makes a cry.
five times.
It’s only been 5 minutes?
It is a contracting ceremony that may be carried out for several days.
Needless to say, if you are looking for the Spirit King.
Once again, I felt my faith deepened.
God of nature, you are always right.
* * *
Slowly, all sides are minefields of a lethal level.
There have already been several penalties, but nothing fatal.
If even a demon appears, it is Pato. I’m glad that hasn’t happened before.
But from now on, it happens quite easily.
Even the highest level spirits began to feel sparsely.
Those who lurk somewhere in the spirit world and stare at the Spirit Temple entering.
Go where the wind blows
The pace slowed down a bit.
If you run fast from a place like this, a disaster that no one can handle appears.
The moment I thought so, I made a mistake.
* * *
The room cracked with a bang.
Spirits fly Four higher spirits waiting around flew to block the open space.
A fire ignites between them. Hell’s mouth opened slowly.
He wasn’t a high-ranking demon. If something like a devil or a demon appeared, there would be more trouble than the coming trolls.
The spirits somehow push away the demon that is about to open the door and appear.
The space is getting smaller and smaller.
What if something stronger appeared?
I thought fortunately.
* * *
Maybe this is enough?
The door was visible.
It is the great spirit of the wind.
Wouldn’t it be a problem to block it to some extent even if it was just that guy?
After thinking for a while, I gave up and moved on.
Follow the wind.
Follow the flow of the wind.
* * *
The corner of the forest finally collapsed. The stump fairies have retreated to the place where the contract was held.
Some of the leaf nymphs asked their kin with a different ear shape.
“Couldn’t you be able to lure towards the human sex?”
“I tried it, but it was already running and smelling the fairy. You, the leaves, have a strong scent.”
“You mean you smell now?”
Someone squeezes the thin leaf fairy’s head.
“Don’t worry, stumps. From now on, we’ll join.”
The magic that flowed into the magic circle is now free. This is due to the fact that the speed at which humans advance in the spirit world has slowed down.
The priest squeezed the remaining magic power and summoned several higher spirits.
A troll sticks his head through the trees.
Ice shards stuck in the snow, and he cried out.
A stump fairy saw the magic circle.
And I saw a human in the middle.
“Huh? That person…”
“Do you know anyone?”
“Yes, you are the one who saved our village.”
Exiles come from all sorts of places.
The priest just nodded.
* * *
The power supply was cut off. It’s moving slowly, so there’s no problem, but something seems to have happened outside.
Did the trolls arrive slowly? What if I had moved a little and proceeded secretly?
is not it? Then it was late and that could have been the problem.
After that, let’s not think about anything else. again move forward little by little.
Now, what you see in front of you is no longer a Khan.
If not, only the spirits that are at the level of a great spirit have a door.
All sides are doors.
Let’s consume all the crystals at this point.
With that in mind, a storm began to rage.
The crystallized and clustered wind flows back into the spirit world through me.
The spirits begin to roar as the wind blows.
They will look like a very tasty prey.
You have to find a way to go deeper before the wind stops.
It started to suck the wind from somewhere.
The spirits are roaring.
I looked in that direction.
this is fake
It’s just a lot of stuff.
There is no such thing as a spirit king. If you are deceived by such things, you will immediately fail and even your life will be in jeopardy.
Wait, then.
I’ll have to go the other way around.
This thought is simple.
The distribution of the higher spirits was strangely small.
Higher spirits are created by combining several intermediate spirits that have not yet been contracted.
The same goes for the King of Spirits.
The king of spirits is the gathering of the great spirits.
There is a zone with a strangely large void in this place where only the wind is already so full that other elements cannot even intervene.
I ran.
A few wrong paths were just traversed.
Whether a demon appears outside or expulsion to the abyss is triggered, once you catch the Spirit King, it can be resolved immediately.
He continues to run, feeling his body shake with all kinds of casting penalties.
At the end of it, a huge power that seemed to have just been born began to appear.
I ran faster. Mana is consumed rapidly.
At first I thought about 5 seconds.
But with the support of the magic god and the support of many fairies, I wondered how it would last for about 9 seconds.
decreases rapidly
It was reached when it was thought that there were barely 3 seconds left to activate the Spirit King.
I shouted. No, I almost squealed.
[I’m in a hurry right now, so let’s hurry up. Can we get any name? yes?]
Before the king of spirits could respond, he called out his name.
[Sylphid! Sylphed!]
It took shape before it even reacted again.
[After all, if you want to look great, you have to be a dragon!]
It transforms into a silver dragon. As a new spirit king, his instincts as a spirit are weak.
It’s a pity that it’s going to be a little weak, but it’s great in terms of the speed of the contract.
[Let’s go to the material world quickly!]
Block all signs of rebellion in advance. They gave it a name and gave it a shape.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just banged his head.[Now, this is me. got it? Let’s end the contract quickly.]
As if pushed by the momentum, the Spirit King agreed.
It returns to the body as if the mind is sucked in.
with some other mighty power.
When I opened my eyes, I saw trolls and dinosaurs.
Some of the elves had already been hit by clubs and could not get up again, or had fallen down in fright.
These are all scenes that came in at once.
I had to move the Spirit King in that position.
3 seconds remaining uptime.
We have to move a little further to the garrison of the brigade headquarters. What else might be there?
Don’t you think the Saints will be there? please.
Ai, there is nothing I can do about it. Just stick with the fairy.
