43. I have no interest in raising chicks.
Let the golden spear pierce Horikedon’s skull.
“Keye, keyeee
It collapsed with a terrifying scream.
and.
Patter, flop.
All the skeletons that belonged to him also began to return to the ashes.
Starting with those who were far away from Horikedon, sequentially.
“what happened……”
“What happened?”
The knights who grasped the situation for a while.
They looked around in bewilderment.
Then someone who saw me screamed for the first time.
“I, I won! I won! Lord Rohan took down the lich!”
that’s the starting point
Cheers erupted in succession.
“Waaa!”
“These bony bastards! They look good! Hahahahaha!”
“Dirty devils!
Amid the cheers of the knights.
I looked down at Horikedon, whose eyes had lost their light.
As expected, the devil was the best.
A feeling of being refreshed enveloped me.
In addition, there were some small achievements.
The mood is relaxed, and the Great Invasion is delayed.
How rewarding is this?
‘after. Is it the end if I just deal with it now?’
Behind me, three people approached me.
Diaz, Zephron, and Vincent were the commanders of the knights.
“Rohan-nim. Is it over now?”
I shook my head.
The complete end was not yet.
Because I had to deal with ‘it’.
“It’s not over.”
“Yes? Apparently, the lich is dead…”
At my answer, Diaz and Knight Commander Vincent tilted their heads.
Only Zephron seemed to understand what I meant.
“That’s not true, Lord Diaz. Even if the body is destroyed, the lich will always respawn from another skeletal remains. As long as you don’t tear the lich’s heart out.”
The ‘it’ I said was Richie’s heart.
“I can’t…!”
“Then, if we can’t find the heart… will we have to fight this battle again?…”
Diaz and Knight Commander Vincent let out despairing voices.
Knight Commander Vincent’s words were correct.
If we can’t find the heart and get rid of it, we’ll have to do it again.
such a tiring battle.
But I had no intention of doing this troublesome thing again.
In the original work, Horikedon has two battles.
Once, I win and pass like now.
It wasn’t until the second time that he managed to find his heart and destroy it completely.
If I hadn’t known about that strategy, Horike Dawn would have been revived this time too…
‘I know very well where it is.’
I already knew where Horikedon hid his heart.
I didn’t even have to go far.
Because this lich’s rare was originally a battlefield where he would have fought the second one.
His heart was hidden right here.
“No need to worry.”
I spat out those words and walked out looking for Horikedon’s heart.
* * *
“Oops!”
The center of the rich rare.
The room was littered with disgusting corpses with togas.
To the point that even the knights who followed me vomited.
They probably belonged to the victims Horikedon had forcibly pulled out of their souls.
Those who were at least knights must have seen rough things often, but the scenery here was brutal.
I was also quite displeased, but I didn’t look anywhere else as much as possible and walked towards Horikedon’s heart.
and.
“Here you go.”
I was able to find out right away.
It looked the same as it did in the original.
numerous tubes.
Horikedon’s heart was hidden in one of them.
Of course, I found out which one was real at once.
If you visit this place for the first time, you will wake up and have a hard time finding it, but it was meaningless to me since I have not played it once or twice.

Jump up, step on the fake coffins.
profit.
I found the real exhaust without the slightest hesitation.
“Really…there is!”
“Finding it all at once. What kind of harmony is this…”
“Ha-ha-ha. Only unbelievable things happen. Being by Lord Rohan’s side. Every moment is like a miracle.”
But I was in no mood to answer them.
‘What is this again?’
In the original version, it seems that only his heart was in it…
‘egg?’
Right now, his heart was clinging to a certain egg, and it looked like he was parasitic.
what?
I don’t know, but…if I cut them down, I’ll die anyway.
I reversed my sword and grabbed it, pierced my heart and tried to put an end to this situation.
It was then.
Lebarsen’s voice was heard.
“Wait a minute.”
I turned my head.
It disappeared without a sound or rumor, then suddenly appeared again this time.
I’m guessing it’s not a thief.
In her hand was a small bottle.
She tossed it at me.
i got that
chin.
“What is it?”
“The egg in front of it. That’s the phoenix egg.”
“……”
what?
Is this a phoenix egg?
why is this here?
My head was full of question marks.
Lebarsen pointed to the phoenix egg with his chin and continued.
“Horikedon’s immortality has not been completed yet. It is completed by consuming the life force from the phoenix egg. Perhaps, if it was a little too late, he would have made a real immortal heart.”
It was made by stealing the power from the phoenix.
That was a fact I didn’t know.
“The phoenix egg can hatch again only by sprinkling it with holy water. If you forcefully remove it… the vitality inside the egg will disappear forever. Even if a phoenix dies, it will return to an egg, but if you kill it as an egg, it will truly perish. .”
It reminded me of the Anybing Chicken from Legends of League.
‘If I made it into an egg and then killed it, then it really died and the death went up.’
By the way.
As I listened to her, I felt strange.
“You seem to have already known about it? About Horike Dawn.”
Since I was a gravekeeper, I pretended not to know anything.
Was it cheating?
She nodded.
“Actually, I knew at that time that the Grave Keeper was related to Horike Dawn. That he was trying to complete the immortality by using a phoenix egg. But I couldn’t tell you everything. Because I didn’t know who you were. I didn’t know each other yet. You didn’t watch it enough to build trust, didn’t you? It seems that you didn’t tell me everything truthfully either. I’m smart about that part.”
That’s… not wrong.
I can’t deny it.
It was a lie from the moment he said that he was a member of the Noia Order.
“That’s why I didn’t believe it easily. I’m grateful that I saved you, but there aren’t many people who pretend to save you and then stab you in the back. The world is so rough.”
but.
I also believed Lebarsen because I had seen him in the original work.
If it was someone seeing it for the first time, he would have had enough doubts.
Maybe they didn’t even approach it at all.
“The past few days. I’ve been watching you carefully. What kind of person this person is. Whether or not I can trust him. Then, I’ve come to understand a little bit. He’s also a person with a clear hatred for demons… And unexpectedly, the knights Even the way he saved me. I was quite impressed.”
Are there any misunderstandings?
Even her eyes felt a little different.
“By the way, apart from that, you have a knack for surprising people? It took five years for me to find out that there is a rare Horike Dawn in the basement. You did it in just a few days.”
It took a long time.
Of course, if I didn’t have the knowledge of the original work, I thought I would have struggled.
Levarsen smiled softly.
“As for the ability to find the secret passage at once in the gravekeeper’s residence… As expected, from my point of view, you think a thief would suit you better, right?”
I responded with a shrug.
“Anyway, I’m sorry I cheated on you. I’ll formally apologize. I hope you understand. But we haven’t had anything to hide from each other… let’s assume this is a tie. Ah, that holy water is the reward for saving lives.”
leave those words
Lebarsen hid himself in the darkness again.
“See you soon, cutie.”
leave only those words
He really was a newcomer.
by the way.
this is a gift
It’s a gift from the perspective of the phoenix, but…Do I really need this holy water?
But once I received it, I sprinkled holy water on the phoenix eggs.
Surprisingly, the veins extending from Horikedon’s heart slipped away from the egg.
like running away.
Soon after, Horikedon’s heart completely fell out of the phoenix egg.
Fu-wook!
I stabbed my sword and killed Horikedon’s heart.
‘It’s over… it’s over. really.’
The moment I tried to breathe.
sh*t.
‘Well?’
Suddenly, the phoenix egg cracked.
“Beep!”
Something like a blue chick jumped out.
as soon as the boy was born.
“Oh. Did you wake me up? Beep? Nice to meet you, beep.”
He greeted me half-heartedly.
He glanced around and shouted at everyone else besides me.
“Is this the first time you’ve seen a talking bird? Beep. What are you looking at, Mr. Peep. Beep.”
Mouth was a bit harsh.
* * *
“That’s right, he’s a strange guy.”
Knight Commander Vincent held out his hand, as if the phoenix was mysterious.
OK.
Knock! Knock!
It pecked the hand of Knight Commander Vincent with its beak.
“Ouch! He has a temper! Go guy.”
“Who dares touch someone’s body? Beep. Only the owner can touch this body! Beep!”
you’re the owner
Who the hell are you looking at…
The phoenix pointed at me with its wings and spoke.
“The human who woke me up. What’s your name? You’re my new master, beep. Grow this body well. Beep!”
I snorted.
“I?”
“That’s right, beep. Even if I look like this, it’s a holy beast. I knew everything about what was going on inside the egg, beep.”
Can you tell even inside the egg?
That’s really nerve-wracking.
“And the position of the glorious phoenix owner goes to the person who made the biggest contribution to my hatching. Beep!”
“refuse.”
“Yeah. Of course it should… Huh? Did you say you’re rejecting it now? Beep?”
“I don’t have a hobby of raising chicks.”
“Rice, a chick! Where does this body look like a chick? Beep! This body is a noble phoenix! Beep!”
It’s just a chick that’s perfectly capable of beeping.
“I don’t care if it’s a chick or a moth.”
“Such a disgrace! Beep! No one who has been my master for thousands of years has ever refused in history! Beep!”
“Then I’ll be first. That’s not bad either.”
“Beep, beep?”
I couldn’t afford to raise a pet right now.
My nose is a stone right now, so what kind of life is it to grow?
when i was about to turn
A chick, no, a phoenix, flapped its tiny wings and chased after it.
“Ah, no. Beep! Kee, please grow! Beep! I barely hatched in a thousand years! Oh, that, and! If you raise me, my immortality ability will be shared a little! Beep!”
Well?
what is this again?
I glanced back at the phoenix.
He shouted proudly with his wings raised on his side.
“Gives great healing power. Cheep! That’s awesome? Cheep!”
