Chapter: 317
57. Damgaltoy Wall (2)
'giant'.
The strongest race that once existed on earth.
Now, they are just flowing down through stories as beings in history or legends, but there was a time when the entire continent trembled at their footsteps.
They could reach the clouds if they stretched out their necks, could block the sun with their palms, and had the power to split even mountains and seas in half if they wanted.
Fortunately, there were only 100 of them in Aither World from the beginning, and most of them had a docile personality and did not like fighting.
However, the problem was that 'most' of the giants were docile, while a very small percentage of them were not.
The war between giants and humans begins even before history was recorded.
A thousand years ago.
When humans were just making ballistas and the like, the giants threw up mountains and smashed the walls, and it seemed that there was no way to counter them, who pulled out arrows lightly as if they had been pricked by needles.
'Until the epionymous wizard appeared'
History is divided into before and after his appearancehis.
Even before that, magic was a kind of shamanic
It existed in a form, but no one established it mathematically and systematically spread it to the world.
The founder of the wizard made fire, dropped meteorites, and drove away the giants. The war finally ended with the victory of humans, and peace seemed to come.
That is, until the existence of the black demon appeared.
Kiyiying-!!
Yu-seol Baek furrowed his brow at the screaming sound that seemed to tear his eardrums apart.
If I hadn't put ear plugs in my ears to block screaming in advance, I would have
The eardrum must have ruptured.
[The item 'Ghost Earplug' blocks 71% of the screams of the 'Ghost of the Dead Giant'.]
Clearing away the message floating in the air, Baek Yu-seol gazed forward.
'… Seeing it in person makes me sick to my stomach.'
It was as if the black fog imitated a human figure. The features that make you feel the unpleasant valley, the shape that is not properly formed and crackles, and the irregularly long road.
Teeth and jagged limbs.
It had the characteristics of the specter just before materialization.
“Avoid!”
An elven knight shouted at Baek Yu-seol and threw a red orb forward. Then, one of the giant's ghosts was destroyed, but then a ghost twice as large stepped out.
“Kaugh… There is no end.”
Ghosts actually exist in Aether World. It was extremely rare, but there were jobs like shamans and ghost hunters.
Most of the ghosts are in the form of humans or heterogeneous people, but sometimes their power becomes powerful depending on the grudge they hold.
Not to mention…
What if it was the ghost of a giant who was once one of the strongest races on earth?
The giants who fell while cursing the progenitor wizard wandered around the Nine Heavens and disturbed the ground even after they died.
Inevitably, the wizards
The specter was separated and divided into dozens and hundreds of pieces and sealed in this land where Damgaltoiwol slept, and hundreds of years after that.
As the birth of Damgaltoiwol progressed, the seal also gradually weakened, and even in the game, there were situations in which the ghost was awakened very occasionally.
Usually, it was a super-high-level content that was requested in the form of a 'sub-quest' to defeat it, but the specter was so powerful that it was difficult to deal with unless you had the end specs.
“Baek Yu-seol. We can easily take down weak giants, but avoiding large ones is more efficient.
No see. It is impossible to get close to them if you deal with them one by one.”
The ghosts of giants varied in size. It is only natural that one giant was separated into hundreds of pieces.
However, it is extremely repulsive and gross that the pieces of the giant are alive and wriggling one by one like webfoot octopuses.
“Let's step back for now.”
“Yes? If you go back, you will have to deal with the ghosts again.”
“I think I need to change my route.”
No matter how good the straight glasses are, there is a limit in an irregular space.
All.The topography of the land of dead giants changed moment by moment due to the curse of Damgaltoiwol, and it was nicknamed 'maze without walls'.
'But as long as I'm given enough time to explore, there's no problem.'
The route was still not marked on the straight copper glasses, but from now on I decided to rely on my own intuition.
When I was playing the game, I had memorized all the rules perfectly because I had cleared this quest over and over again to level up.
It is not difficult to find the destination as long as the direct-bak-guri glasses search the surroundings and mark them on the mini-map.
“All right. I will.”
The elven knights nodded their heads without replying to Baek Yu-seol's absurd sound.
It's not just believing the words of a teenage boy out of the blue. They were able to make this judgment because they trusted Kkot Seorin, who trusted Baek Yu-seol.
'As expected, my sister properly attached one person to me.'
Unfortunately, the current Baekyuseol is too
I'm also weak, so it's very difficult to deal with one specter. There shouldn't be any problem until they are defeated, but when it becomes dozens, the story is different.
For that reason, Baek Yu-seol was in a position to chase after the elven knights…….
'…Is it necessary?'
He thought differently.
Yes, the ghost of a giant might still be an opponent that is absurdly lacking in its own level. However, you can get a very large amount of stats just by dealing with a high-level monster.
Besides, isn't he now the Baek Yu-seol of the past?
In line with the growth of the main characters, or even more, he has grown rapidly through numerous incidents and accidents.
'Shouldn't it be a bitch?'
Baek Yu-seol thought so, and suddenly pulled out a terriphone sword and blinked toward the front. Of course, he did not blindly dig into the arms of the giants, but he naturally joined the elven knights with the feeling of assisting them without harming their formation.
Enemy!
A blue light lingered from the tip of the sword, and in an instant cut off the head of a specter.
“Five…
It was a while to rejoice, but the specter began to regenerate in an instant through the connected part as thin as a thin thread, as if it had not completely cut off the tough soul thread.
“Oh dear!”
It was only after he swung his sword again that he was able to annihilate a very small individual.
The fact that it wasn't as easy as he thought made him break into a cold sweat, but Baek Yu-seol firmly gripped his sword, convinced that at this level he could fight while assisting the elven knights.
“It's dangerous, so stay away.”
“It's okay. Let's take the bus too.”
“Yes? There are no buses here.”
Although the elven knights did not properly understand Baek Yu-seol's intentions, they determined that it meant helping, albeit weakly.
'Amazing. For an elf, it must be at the level of a baby… …
'Do humans naturally grow that fast?'
Considering Baek Yu-seol's age, he was surprisingly well-groomed.
He did not mean that individual forces were strong. He had the courage to step forward even when he didn't have to fight in the face of an overwhelmingly strong monster, and his sense and sense of not ruining the cooperation of the elven knights who had been working together for decades were just astonishing.
“I see my destination!”
At the cry of an elf knight, Baek Yu-seol, who was frantically swinging his sword, raised his head. In the distance, a round mountain peak sloping sideways, pressing firmly against the horizon.
But it is not a mountain peak.
A shadow in the form of a belated appearance. It was so huge that if you saw it up close, you might have mistaken it for a wide valley.
That rocky mountain, which looks like a human face lying on its side, is so huge that it makes you dizzy.
The identity of that was the face of Damgalto Lee Wol.
In addition…… It was also the only passage that could lead to Damgaltoywall.
♦ ♦ ♦
On that day, as usual, chickweed tree and Stella had a joint class. Time passed steadily without narrowing the gap between the hearts of the elven and human students.
It's already the last four weeks.
At this point, the professors of the chickweed trees were getting anxious.It was a special event prepared for harmony between humans and elves, but the relationship between the students was getting worse.
Considering the adult's situation, it was really embarrassing, but no one wanted to solve the situation neatly.
It was the same for full frame.
I also thought that I had to improve my relationship with the elf, and it was because the Blossom Trio was still annoying.
But more concerned than that
there was one
A few days ago, Baekyuseol completely disappeared and the news was cut off.
When I asked the professor, he only told me that there were special circumstances, but he didn't give me any details.
However, when the professors are shushing about Baek Yu-seol, it means that there is pressure on someone higher than them…….
'Is there anyone who can hold the professor of the chickweed tree?'
If I had to pick one person, I could pick Jelliel, but she was a suspect.
Excluded from the line.
It was confirmed a few days ago that Jelliel was also frantically trying to find the whereabouts of Baek Yu-seol.
'Where are you and what are you doing?'
Ding Dong-Moon
When the bell rang signaling the end of class, Full-lam, lost in thought, suddenly regained consciousness and quickly left the classroom. Again she thought of running away to the dorm before the Blossom trio could bother her.
That moment.
… Koo Goo Goo!!!
Wow Jangchang!
“Kyaaaaa!”
“Gee, an earthquake!”
“Hide to the floor!”
Loud vibrations echoed, windows shattered, and cracks began to appear on the hallway walls and floors.Full-lame quickly spread her shield to protect her head her, then swung her staff.
Kwadeuk!
Then, thick trees grew here and there, supporting the corridor that was about to collapse.
“Sah lived…
Full-lame, who jumped over and trampled on the shoulder of a male student who was sitting on the floor, looked out the window with a pale expression.
“Crazy••••••
thud… Kugoong…
The vibration didn't end once.
However, the source was far away, so I couldn't hear it properly until here.
Things like huge ink were falling from the sky. No, if you look closely, black ink slowly rises from the ground.
'Shade!'
Because it was a full frame that could handle light, I was able to quickly realize their identity even from a distance.
'How could the world tree have a ghost… ?'
It is difficult for fallen beings to easily invade the World Tree, which is protected by divine power, and the specter will not be able to come near it at all.
Nevertheless, it was hard to believe that there were so many traces of ghosts covering the World Tree.
– Notice to all students!
-Currently, a level 3 disaster situation has occurred
Therefore, please evacuate immediately to an underground air-raid shelter!
– I say it again! Now that a level 3 disaster situation has occurred…….
An urgent information message was transmitted over the school broadcasting, but it was cut off with the sound of sparks.
“A third-class disaster? Isn't that an intrusion?”
“Mo, I don't know. I've never heard of this… …
Magical warriors are trained assuming both disaster and invasion situations.
The World Tree was relatively safe from disaster, so he never taught about it.
“Hey, frustrating! Go down to the basement!”
As Fullam shouted inevitably, some elven cadets jumped up and ran to the stairs in amazement.
– Activate protective magic.
-The 'Super Divine Protection' has been deployed within the branch of the Chickweed Tree Magic School.
-Students, underground…….
“Crazy.”
The protection of the super-divine spirit is the best protection system that protects the Star Flower Magic School, and it is known that it is never in operation at all.
The fact that even that has been activated means that the situation is truly urgent.
Full-lame also couldn't stay still, so she hurriedly tried to go down to the underground shelter, but it was impossible.
“Gee, the stairs are down!”
“The entrance to the underground shelter is completely blocked!”
“Professor! Professor!”
The entrance to the underground air-raid shelter has completely collapsed, probably because of the aftermath of the earthquake that struck the other day. Debris piled up one after another to support the ceiling, so it seemed impossible to clean it up and go in.
However, even at that moment.
The students thought involuntarily.
'Wouldn't it be safe if it was a chickweed tree?'
The best barriers are surrounded and the best professors are lined up, so even if an unidentified black object appears, this place is relatively
It would be safe, everyone thought.
… Dou-wook!
Until black liquid fell from the sky.
…oh shit. This is.. damn this arc is becoming really interesting.
