The length of the sarcophagus was about 2 m.
So it’s not from a giant over 4m tall.
The dark texture of the sarcophagus felt cold.
When I opened the lid, I felt like it might contain a mummy or ashes.
I tried to feel the energy inside the sarcophagus using ＜Perception＞, but I couldn’t feel the energy of life.
‘Does it really contain a body?’
I put my hand on the sarcophagus.
If you put the whole thing in your inventory, you can see what’s inside without opening the lid.
‘acceptance.’
However, the sarcophagus did not enter the inventory.
Like the stones of the building, ＜protection magic＞ was applied.
Even if you acquire the highest authority of the system here, you cannot dispel the last line of defense, ‘protective magic of the building’.
hmm-
I tried to forcefully open the coffin lid, but I held back.
You can get angry if you act recklessly.
“Let me take a look!”
Kim Seo-yeon came out.
She was studying the giants’ relics and had grasped some of the giants’ skills.
If the sarcophagus was also made with a similar technique, it would be easy to find out its purpose.
After examining the sarcophagus for over 30 minutes, Kim Seo-yeon opened her mouth.
“Compared to the technology of the giants, it is a considerably underdeveloped technology. Anyway, I figured out what it’s for! It is not a coffin for a corpse!”
“Then what is it used for?”
“It is a device that allows you to fall asleep for a long time without getting old.”
“A frozen capsule?”
The freezing capsule was a hibernation device that often appeared in science fiction movies.
It is the principle of freezing a person at cryogenic temperatures to stop life activities and waking them up again after a long period of time.
Since it hibernates with its life activities suspended, it does not age at all no matter how long the time passes.
“In that sense, it’s like a frozen capsule! However, the principle of operation is completely different. It doesn’t freeze it, it freezes life by stopping time!”
“You mean time is stopped inside the sarcophagus?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it’s like an inventory.”
“you’re right!”
Time does not pass in the inventory, so if you put people in it, it will not age.
The sarcophagus in front of him also used that principle.
In fact, you cannot put live animals, including people, in your inventory.
However, Alan broke the interlock and created his own new inventory magic that could put even the living.
So, having mastered the magic, I was able to put people in my inventory as well.
Anyway, I couldn’t figure out the exact situation because the information was so lacking, but it went very well.
You just have to wake up the sleeping person in the sarcophagus and ask him questions.
“Can you wake me up right now?”
“Not right away. If the lid is forcibly opened, the independent time and space inside the sarcophagus will disappear, and the sleeping person will also disappear along with it.”
It was good that I did not forcefully open the lid of the coffin.
“Then how long will it take?”
“It takes three days to break down the boundaries of independent time and space and assimilate with reality.”
To put it simply, you have to wait three days to meet the person in the coffin.
“Should I wake everyone up?”
I shook my head at Seoyeon Kim’s question.
“Let’s wake up one person.”
If you wake up all 6 unknown beings at once, something you can’t handle may happen.
One person is enough to ask something.
“Then who shall I wake up?”
I pointed to the nearest sarcophagus.
“What do you do with this?”
“Yes, boss!”
“And what was the content of the rest of the document?”
The information Kim Seo-yeon extracted from the giant’s armor was two documents.
It was confirmed that the special item kept in the polar regions was a sarcophagus.
I wondered what was written in the remaining one document.
“It was a short message.”
“message? text massage?”
“Yes, it was a text message to forward to someone. And we found traces of actually sending it.”
The giant texted someone before dying.
“What was the content?”
“It was about leading the troops to the harvest field.”
“A harvest field?”
“Probably means Earth.”
The giant’s message was a request for support.
And the recipients were his colleagues on his home planet.
The Harvest Ground means Earth, and what they are trying to harvest must be Elixir.
I don’t know why they used the expression ‘harvest’ instead of ‘plunder’.
In any case, I knew for sure with the two documents restored by Kim Seo-yeon.
It was a giant who tried to plunder the elixir extraction facility using the golden box.
The beings inside the sarcophagus must be the descendants or people involved in the alchemists who created the elixir extraction facility.
“Why haven’t reinforcements arrived on Earth after 15 years?”
If they had arrived on Earth, they would have invaded the elixir extraction facility first.
From noble mtl dot com
The fact that this place was intact was proof that they hadn’t arrived yet.
“It is either. Either you didn’t receive the message or you’re too far away to get there yet!
No matter can travel faster than light.
The same goes for communication signals.
If the giant’s home star is more than 15 light-years away from Earth, it will take more than 15 years for his message to arrive.
If so, his message wouldn’t have reached his colleagues yet.
If it is closer than 15 light-years and has already received the message, it will take time to reach Earth.
Even if we had the technology to travel through space at the speed of light, it would take a long time.
“Warp technology using wormholes may enable superluminal navigation. Then it might come sooner.”
Anyway, alien invaders have been added to the yard where the demon king Laves may be coming to Earth.
***
dark outer space,
There was an intangible being that moved at the speed of light.
It was the demon king Labeth who came from another world.
After flying at the speed of light for months, Laves had one doubt.
‘Are you saying I might not be inside the magic barrier right now?’
The barrier created by magic cannot be infinite.
Although it is possible to fall into the hallucination created by the barrier and wander around the same place, the space of the barrier itself cannot be infinite.
Laves left a mark in the place where he had passed by using his precious magic that was not long.
It was to check if he was circling the same spot.
Even after flying at the speed of light for months, I still haven’t reached the end of the barrier or the exit.
It wasn’t even back to square one.
In fact, the space here is incredibly large.
Even Alan, who prides himself on being the best in the world, couldn’t create such a gigantic barrier.
‘No matter how bad he is, that’s impossible.’
It was then.
I could feel the cracks in space and time from afar.
It was familiar to the demon king.
‘A teleportation gate?’
The demon king slowed down and stopped in front of a transparent spherical gate like a glass marble.
‘It’s a little different from the teleportation gates I know.’
In fact, it was a naturally created wormhole in outer space.
What you see on the other side of the wormhole is a distant landscape millions of light years away.
There was no way that the demon king of the other world knew about wormholes that could only be created here in the universe.
However, because he has a special eye for the mind, he saw right through the nature of the wormhole.
‘It’s not an exit to the outside.’
You can go through a wormhole to a very far away place, but you can’t get out of this world.
‘Should I go in anyway?’
At the time when the demon king was contemplating whether to take an adventure or not,
pat-
Something came out of the wormhole.
It was a huge spacecraft.
The demon king looked at the spaceship and licked his lips.
‘Interesting.’
Inside the spacecraft were rode beings clad in rainbow-colored armor.
However, they failed to attract the devil’s attention.
It was the power of the spacecraft that attracted the demon king’s interest.
In this world where there is no mana at all, there was a substance that could replace it.
‘Elixir!’
I knew there was gold in this space.
However, the Demon King does not have the ability to extract an elixir from gold.
But those lowly beings had an elixir.
hiss-
The Demon King entered the spaceship.
Since it had no shape, it could just pass through the walls of the ship.
‘I need a body to materialize.’
In order for the demon king to absorb the elixir, he must materialize first.
A man sitting on a mission came into the eyes of the demon king looking for a suitable body.
He was the captain of the ship.
‘That guy would be suitable.’
hiss-
The demon king entered the captain’s body.
flash-
In an instant, the captain’s eyes turned red like blood, then returned to their original color.
The demon king read the captain’s memory.
And I found out.
This wasn’t the magic barrier created by Alan.
It was another universe.
‘ha ha ha!’
Laves laughed inwardly.
During the battle with Alan, ＜Deletio＞, which he used at the last minute, was not the ultimate extinction magic.
It was ＜otherworld summoning magic＞ that moved to another universe.
‘You pretended to be so smart and ignored me, then you made a ridiculous mistake.’
And I learned another very important fact.
There was a large amount of elixir at the destination of the spaceship he was on.
So stealing a rat’s tail of Elixir, which was used to power the spaceship, was very foolish.
If you wait patiently, you will get a good amount of elixir.
The Demon King asked the navigator.
[How long until harvest?]
The giants moved from millions of light years away to here in an instant using wormholes.
However, there was no shortcut like a wormhole from here to the destination.
The navigator answered the demon king.
[There are 1,087 days and 3 hours left.]
Demon King Laves will arrive on Earth in 3 years.
***
From the North Pole back to the United States.
Since I entered the United States as Jose Antonio, I had to leave the country with the same ID when I returned.
Because you can’t make a long-awaited bukae into an illegal resident.
Back in Las Vegas, Tony was still there.
He was clearing the real estate here with Alex’s face.
“[While you’re here, go play for a few days! Isn’t it Las Vegas!]”
I decided to stay in Las Vegas for only 3 days.
It wasn’t that I wanted to play out of my mind.
During the day, he went to Factory 2 to produce weapons and armor, preparing for a battle that could happen at any moment.
And at night, with Tony’s guidance, they enjoyed playing at the casino.
The three days passed so quickly.
The time has come for the sarcophagus to be opened.
Accompanied by the golems, I entered Factory 37, where the sarcophagus was located.
Kim Seo-yeon, who was guarding the stone coffin, shouted.
“Ten seconds left!”
At her words, the golems armed with Orihalcon armor and weapons drew their swords and stood guard.
After 10 seconds,
Squeak-
The lid of the sarcophagus was opened.
Inside lay a man in rainbow-colored armor.
It didn’t look very big.
He was about 160 cm tall and had a slim build.
He slowly raised his upper body.
Then, seeing the golems surrounding him, he jumped up and shouted.
“[Who are you guys!]”
It was a language I had never heard of.
But with magic, I was able to understand the meaning.
Judging by the tone of her voice, it was clear that it was a woman.
hiss-
She raised her voice as she drew her sword.
“[Who are you? Why don’t you answer!? Oh right! You can’t understand me!]”
I asked Seoyeon Kim telepathically.
[Which country is that?]
[This is not the language of the present Earth.]
[Then is it an alien language?]
[that is···. It is very similar to Korean.]
Come to think of it, it sounded a bit like that to my ears as well.
I stepped out and told her.
“I woke you up. I have something I want to ask you.”
My Korean will sound like her mother tongue to her.
she asked, startled.
“[Are you also from Silla?]”
