249 – A Fragment of the Past – 4
Degur, the hollow helmet rolled down to my feet. I trampled it with my foot and stopped, looking at the place where it should have been.
With armor gauntlets and leg parts clinging to each other all over her body, Vi stood firm as if she had dozens of limbs.
Just like its appearance, it was a boss with the name of ‘Armor Eating Knight’.
In less than three minutes, I pushed the corpse of an armored knight whose head had been ripped off. The bulk of the armor, which was already in danger due to its center of gravity, fell backwards and made a loud noise.
Dozens of pieces of armor fell off the body and rolled on the floor. I pierced the wingless nightmare, whose black flames were still not extinguished, vertically into the ground.
It was a buff that I used before starting the boss battle, but it still hasn’t turned off. It was thanks to the fact that the magical power stat went up dramatically, and the duration of the buff also increased tremendously.
‘The feeling of the stats going up is amazing.’
If it was in the past, no matter how many nightmares you have lost your wings, and even if you attacked with burning black flames, you would have had to hit them for 10 minutes. Now it’s over so fast that it’s futile.
Since it is a boss wearing armor, considering that it has a certain amount of resistance to slashing attacks, it seems that if you had attacked the weak point, you could have caught it in less than 1 minute, let alone 3 minutes.
‘It’s a pity that I couldn’t find my memories.’
Even though I deliberately picked and defeated only the bosses that gave off the feeling of the brunet 1 and 2 days, nothing popped into my head. It was a pity.
“Is there any way to recover only certain memories faster?”
I asked a question to Nyx, who was applauding as he picked up the gauntlet that had fallen from his body. Nyx tilted his head.
“What is a specific memory?”
“Memories of magic used in the past. Or a technique I used in the past. Things like that.”
Nyx seemed to be pondering over my words for a moment, then slapped him.
“I don’t know. I’m the one who sealed your memories, but I can’t unlock them. The Goddess said that when you regain your strength, your memories will come back as well.”
“Then I can’t help it. I have no choice but to walk around with everything I can think of like now.”
If it were possible to recall a specific memory first, I would have started searching for the magic from the first year of Brunet, but it was a pity.
Because the common opinion of the users was that Brunyi 1 had exceptionally good magic efficiency. Even from the user’s point of view, ‘Is this correct?’
Brünü 4 has a well-balanced role group as a whole, but brünü 1 is said to be a board where several builds are all done.
‘I’m sure Minerva will love it too.’
Actually, I don’t stop at liking it, but it wouldn’t be strange at all if my eyes turned upside down.
It was obvious how they would react if they showed magic from a completely different world, since even the ancient scroll, which is simply magic from a very ancient time in this world, lost their minds as soon as they saw it.
‘…… Come to think of it, it’s a bit scary, isn’t it?’
After going through a similar kind of thing once in the Holy Land, as soon as she thought of Minerva begging and clinging to her, chills ran down her spine.
“Couldn’t I have just asked the Goddess? She could have asked if there was a way to retrieve her old memories faster.”
“I forgot because I was shocked to hear about my past. And now I tried to talk to him, but there was no answer.”
I don’t know why. Maybe the Eater of Worlds is taking advantage of the brief run away to restore her powers.
“I understand. Your past is shocking.”
Nyx on the short end no longer felt the slightest gloominess of before. She seemed to have decided to act like a soul guardian in the state where she stopped sharing memories.
Because of her appearance, I hardly felt like her spirit guardian. It’s because the tall slender body, which was as tall as the main character in Brunet 3, has completely reversed itself.
“Delta.”
While I was thinking of my next destination in my head, Nyx came closer with a very serious expression. I was also a little nervous and waited for the next words to come.
“I’m going to hand the initiative back to the Knicks in a little while.”
“Already? Hasn’t it been three days yet?”
“I have no intention of filling all three days. Your memory may suddenly come back in the middle. At that time, having me beside me would be much more helpful than having Nix beside me.”
Certainly, Nix’s identity and mine were secret to the other personality.
“So, please do me one favor.”
“What kind of request is it that makes you look so serious?”
“If I regain my memory later, can you hug my body?”
“…… What?”
At the words that came out of nowhere, I reflexively asked back.
“It’s literally. To hug me In a s*xual sense, of course.”
“You don’t have to stress because I fully understand. What I want to ask is the other side. Why all of a sudden?”
“Not all of a sudden. Except for the Goddess, it’s because I’ve known you first. You know who I used to be and what my relationship was with you, right?”
“Yes, but… ….”
The soul guardian was one of the few perfectly friendly NPCs throughout the entire Brunet series, so the relationship between the main character and the soul guardian of Brunet 3 was quite famous.
No matter how many times I kill her, she keeps coming back to life, and no matter how many times I kill her, she never gets angry or betrays me.
“Oh, of course not right now. You said If you get your memories back, that is. If you don’t have memories of the past, we’ll only be able to have a relationship that sealed your memories with magic on you, right?”
Nicks drew a clean line.
“It may sound like an unexpected request. But you’re doing this because you know you’ve been told everything about yourself by the Goddess. I thought it was the right time to talk.”
“… ….”
“The fact that I took away the negative emotions means that, on the contrary, all the positive emotions remained in the body. Isn’t it obvious what those positive emotions will include?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes. It’s obvious.”
“Even I, who is only affected by it, is like this. How about the body that directly feels the emotions? Until now, you didn’t know who you were, so you held back, but you can’t do that anymore. No, no.”
That statement was the right one.
Once upon a time, Nyx, I was nothing more than a witch who strangely followed me because I had no memory of the past, but now Nyx is a spirit guardian who even crossed over from another world to find me.
As long as I knew her identity, I couldn’t just leave her unattended.
“If the body is hugged by you, the mind will be much more stable. Then, when the personalities come back together, the side effects are dramatically reduced.”
Nyx stretched out her chest with an ahem expression on her face. Then she lowered her head and looked at her own breasts jutting out in front of her, and she grasped them in her hands.
Her dainty fingers barely wrapped around my nipples.
“And, isn’t I in a pretty good body even by the standards here? How much trouble did I have to refine according to my service?”
Fingers pressed against my chest. The overwhelming weight of the flesh buried his fingers.
In terms of objective size itself, it would be similar to the Pope sisters and Lise, but Nix’s height is much shorter than the two, so in terms of proportion, Nix looks overwhelmingly taller.
On top of that, even the clothes were so ignorant that they couldn’t be inferior to them, so it was definitely not a body that deserved such adjectives.
“…… Wait for a sec. Who do you like?”
Did I hear that wrong?
“My taste. Me not you When I came over here, only the soul had to be transferred, so I made a new body. The body shape, appearance, and clothing are all my own. Of course, it was the Goddess who made it.”
I checked Nix’s body again.
It’s safe to say that it occupies half of the upper body, a soft body with no muscle to be found, and a height that is so short that it barely covers my chest.
That’s all soul guardians like?
“Your body didn’t have any charm as a woman before, right? It was because her breasts were sparse, and she was as tall as a man with a straight body. Even if I look like this, was that quite a complex? And it’s easier to satisfy your taste this way.”
“Do you still have something to confess about your taste?”
“What? Didn’t I tell you? I like things that are a bit masochistic. In other words, mazo—”
“Until there. I got it, so let it go.”
I felt somehow familiar with Nyx’s words and actions, almost smashing the brakes once the reins were released, and grabbed her dizzy head.
Obviously, the spirit guardian in the 3 in-game game had a very calm personality. Is it a side effect caused by her personality being divided into negative and positive sides?
‘Could it be that the thing on the chest wasn’t the chest, but the s*xual desire pouch?’
Lizee, Sister Pope, and now Nix. That’s what people without exception wear two large things on their chests.
“I’ll be looking forward to hearing you understand. Need to find the memories ASAP?”
The moment after Nyx smiled slightly, the atmosphere changed. It was not the meaningful smile like before, but a simple, innocent smile.
Nix, back to normal, wiggled his fingers in front of his chest.
“Hey, is there something wrong with you? Lol.”
“Nothing. I want to get my memory back quickly. Let’s go to the next place.”
I was relieved inside and turned around moderately. It was because the atmosphere had changed like Rize’s, there was nothing wrong with that. Even for the Knicks, he needed to step up.
Then, the destination was fixed.
If you were to pick one of the most vicious places in Brunet 4, the number 1 would differ depending on the person, but no matter who you ask, there was one place that was definitely ranked at least in the top 3.
It was a poisonous swamp in the southern part of the continent.
It doesn’t mean that it’s difficult. Story-wise, Poison Swamp is only in the middle of the map, so the enemy specs aren’t very high, and the patterns aren’t that vicious by vanilla standards.
Nevertheless, the reason Poison Swamp ranked so high was because of the enemies that appeared there.
ㅡKeeeik!
“Hey hey hey hey!”
For example, a swarm of super-giant crickets that are mingling with the nicks over there, making the characteristic tearing sound of insects.
Nix poured black salt at the crickets that jumped up and ran. The black flame continued to flick his tongue as if it were not enough even after swallowing dozens of crickets whole.
Dozens of nasty trees got caught up in it too. The black salt burned insects and plants equally and eliminated them. A part of the dense forest quickly turned into a field.
“Huhhhhh…… Wow, it’s weird here…….”
A tear-stained Nix clung to me and buried his face in his arms. I stroked and comforted her hair until it was messy.
“That’s what I said. I will come alone, so you stay on the high ground. They don’t go there.”
The Poison Swamp Zone restricts the player character’s movement, and the disgusting giant insects dot the Poison Swamp Zone.
It was a long-standing tradition from the days of Brunet 1 to the 4th.
In other words, it also means that it is a place where you can best recall the memories from Brunet 1 to 3. Throughout the series, the overall composition of the area is so similar that it can be considered self-replicating.
Eclipse couldn’t have created something like this in his world, so he must have been left with a rift caused by the World Eater.
Originally, I was planning to only listen to the dungeon here or skip it altogether, but I changed my mind.
“Ha, but… ….”
Before Nyx could finish slashing, he heard the sound of something approaching, slithering through the poison swamp. Seeing that dozens of sounds overlapped over and over again, I felt like I could figure out the identity without even looking at it.
“Coming. He’s the guy I was talking about.”
“… ….”
Stand up, the flailing has stopped. Nix’s body stiffened. Even when he briefly explained the structure of the Poison Swamp before coming here, he was the one who made Nyx cry, so it was only natural.
“I, uh… ….”
“It’s okay. If you’re scared, stay here. I’ll catch it.”
“Sorry, sorry… ….”
“It’s okay. It’s only natural that things like that are disgusting. Rather, is it abnormal to not be afraid like me?”
I soothed Nix, who was still trembling and apologetic, and hid him in a hole in a burned-out tree. Nyx squatted in it and shivered.
I raised my head. The owner of the splattering sound was approaching from far away. Nothing much has changed compared to Brussels 1, but it is much larger and much more repulsive in appearance.
First of all, the moment you fight with that guy and get hit by a grab attack, the face inflicts mental damage not only to the character but also to the player outside the screen.
Finally a lot of f*cking legs.
This is the guy who gave a lot of users the trauma of grabbing attacks, but he didn’t care now. It’s true that he’s just watching it like this, so he just thinks that he has to catch it quickly.
“It’s dirty to watch, so I’ll finish it quickly.”
He caused black flames on his left hand. You can use it up to twice anyway, so make it as big and as strong as possible. Don’t let that guy’s face leave a single strand of hair.
He lunged at me with his legs wide open.
