(EP.230) Revelation #1
230 – Apocalypse Revelation #1
when you come to your senses.
Bonfires and old houses disappeared from nowhere, and the forest greeted us with a large moon rising.
what forest?
When I was in doubt about this sudden change of location, Balaan explained in detail.
“This is the embodiment of imagery… . It seems that the landscapes and objects that dwell in my heart are tangibly materialized. This is a skill that can often be seen by high-ranking priests of Gwangyeomgyo or ascetics who have undergone penance for a long time… .”
The words are unfamiliar and hard to understand.
As much as I understood, I loosened it up to some extent and asked again.
“If it is the embodiment of the image. Do you think that the forest in the guide’s heart has escaped to the outside?
“Yeah, yes. Such a barrier, this. He must have had this talent again. This Baland Sabrnak… , was careless. negligent.”
“Now is not the time to blame yourself. You have to figure out how to get out of here or find him.”
I touched the trees located nearby.
It’s a real tree.
The grass is real grass, and the stones and soil feel like the real thing. However, this is only an embodied image.
I’ve been relatively calm because I’ve had this experience recently. It’s like stepping into Aira’s dream.
However, if we had to compare it, it would be more accurate to say that it was a dream that came out rather than entered a dream.
“Tae-sama, are you maintaining your composure in this kind of situation? Truly the king’s bowl… . I, Balaen, were impressed.”
Did I seem to keep my composure?
It wasn’t intentional, but it seems that the experience of swimming in Aira’s dream was quite helpful. After all, as a human being, it is something to experience and see.
I asked.
“So, Balaan, how do you break this imagery? If it is a magic created by humans, there must be a law of destruction.”
“There must be a caster here, here, somewhere. Finding him and defeating him will end this bizarre barrier. You don’t know how this space will change over time, so it’s a bit rushed-.”
Phishung-.
Then something flew and aimed at Balaan’s shoulder. With the sound of a sharp slashing of the wind, something pierces the floor.
“Ugh-!”
Blood was seeping from Balaan’s shoulder as he screamed. My head races with excitement as I see my white forearms drenched in blood.
“Balaan-!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay… ! It’s just rubbing.”
Slurry-.
When Balaan rubbed his left arm, the blood stopped flowing, revealing the white, smooth forearm again.
I was curious and curious about how he did it, but now there is something more important than that. I quickly picked up what was stuck on the floor.
it is an arrow
“The arrows of Misteltaine. Mistletoe trees are gentle and weak, but when they are magically processed by skilled craftsmen, they can produce excellent arrows… .”
sparkle-.
As Balaan continued his long explanation, he saw something flashing in the forest. So I chanted urgently.
─Mana Shield!
Phishung-.
Quasi-.
Several layers of mana barriers created in a hurry were pierced by sharp arrows. When I saw the arrow that could not reach my face and stopped in the air, I got goosebumps.
What’s this.
“It was dangerous… .”
If the chants were even a little slow, my neck would have been pierced by this long arrow. When I think of that, I get chills and the blood all over my body cools down at the same time.
“That Balaan, I’ve found the raider’s location!”
-Orthoros-.
Balaan uttered a strange and gloomy spell.
Then, the blood that had been splattered on the floor after being hit by the arrow clumps together with the sand and stones, and performs strange breeding, then transforms into the shape of a two-headed black dog. The round face is pretty cute.
“good-!”
━Cree, Kung-!
The dog jumped like an arrow that left the bow and hit the bushes.
ㅡAww!
At the same time, someone screams loudly.
We hurriedly ran into the bushes, wondering if it might be a guide, and found a strange creature lying on the floor and struggling.
“Elf… ? Purple elf… .”
It was the story that came out of Balaan’s mouth.
As she said, lying on the floor is an elf. He was dressed in black leather, but he couldn’t hide his pointed ears and his strangely painted face.
“Chi-!”
The elf, who had been bitten by a dog on the leg, clicked his tongue. Then he quickly pulled something out of his pouch and slammed it hard on the floor.
“Tweety-!”
phut-!
Smoke rises in an instant with a small explosion. As he was about to cough at the musty smell, a giant eagle grabbed the elf’s arm and flew into the sky.
━Fire rip-!
Professor Balan, who was looking at it, spoke to me.
“Tae-sama, have you seen it? As you may have noticed, the elf just… , very similar to Professor Stella of Fairy Sciences.”
“… You are probably right.”
“Professor Stella, are you saying that the guide and the cow are holding hands?”
“No, it will not be. To be precise, I have to say that I am, but I am not.”
“What… ?”
Balaan tilted his head as if he didn’t know what he was talking about. It wasn’t that she didn’t know her current feelings, but it’s hard to explain this with certainty.
Why is Stella Belhawk, who was taken to the family, in this forest?
I have one hypothesis, but there is not enough evidence to prove it.
“Let’s go after it.”
* * *
Kachin-!
“Kyaak-!”
Balaan let out a sharp scream. Her ankle, crouching on the floor, is engorged with a bear trap that looks hard enough to be ignorant, and blood is dripping.
“Professor Balan, you’ve fallen into a trap again.”
“sorry… .”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that I have come to realize it, Balaan’s body is dull.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s been sitting on a chair all his life, doing research, or if he’s just dull.
“No, what if you step on an open bear trap?”
“I’m not used to looking at my feet… . ”
“ah.”
Only then did I understand.
That’s why I have big breasts.
Her breasts are so big that it blocks the view right under her feet.
「Calmly judge the situation!
You gain experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.
All job experience + 5”
Then there is nothing you can do The good news, though, is that Professor Balan’s body is quite resilient.
Kachin-. Watching her wounds heal as soon as the bear trap is released, she doesn’t get used to it. I’m not human-like. Strictly speaking, is that correct?
Such regenerative power is characteristic of Ars Nova.
“Anyway, there are a lot of pitfalls. You have to be careful not to touch it.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Numerous traps spread all over the dark forest. And Misteltaine’s arrow from an unknown angle.
“It looks like they are trying to hunt us. Why is Professor Stella… ?”
“I do not know. But it is also true that we are being treated unilaterally like this.”
Flurry-!
Then a sharp roar of birds of prey came from the sky.
“Tae-oh, our location has been discovered! Another arrow will fly!”
“calm down. If you make such a loud noise, it’s like giving out the location even if there are no birds.”
I smashed Balan. It is also true that birds flying in the dark night sky are quite annoying. So, I decided to consume some of the magical power I had saved up.
—Come on, Tweety.
Reach out to the sky where the birds are flying. Application of the capture magic Halfas to tame birds. According to my theory, birds afflicted with this spell will not be able to disobey my orders.
―Fireuk, pirrrrr-.
In fact, the blue eagle as huge as a human body stopped flapping its wings and fell helplessly to the floor. At the same time, a voice is heard shouting, “Tweety-!”
“There-!”
just-.
I flicked my finger in the direction the voice came from. Then suddenly a strong wind blew and shook the bushes and branches.
aaa
“Aww-!”
A desperate scream could be heard in the midst of the eerie shaking. The smell of fishy blood seems to be mixed with the wind.
“Let’s go.”
As we headed in the direction of the sound, we saw something spewing blood and panting. Balaan looked at the bloody neck and nodded.
“Exactly the carotid artery was cut. Really great work… . By this, I think even this foolish elf could have figured out who was being hunted.”
Stella Belhawk, no headhunter, didn’t say anything to Balan, who smiled slyly. I just closed my eyes.
It’s the same story I know.
The bird he loved is attacked by the prey who showed his wits in a corner, exposing his location, and then he dies. There is only silence in her death without a will.
“Tae-sama, look over there.”
woowook.
Balaan pulled my collar. Now looking at it, I could see that something that could be called a ‘door’, which did not go well with this forest, was scattered in the air.
Since when?
It’s a door into the void.
I didn’t like the blatant attention-grabbing, but for now, I think it would be right to walk towards that door.
So, me and Professor Balan opened the door and entered the pitch-black darkness. Then, in an instant, the surrounding objects and what might be called the landscape change.
“Cemetry? This time, it’s a cemetery. Much better than the forest. To feel at home as if you were at home… .”
Balaan grinned as if he liked the new place.
As she said, what we see around us are the thick stone walls covering the tombs and tombstones. Centipedes and poisonous insects crawling here and there.
“… … Bul’ jack.”
And the moon shining in the sky and a woman in a gloomy mask.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, to be exact, she was wrapped around her body in a black cloth that could not be recognized as a woman… . The red eyes and the fan seen through the goblin mask are quite familiar.
👌👌👌👌👌
“———.”
As the woman with the fan unfolded uttered a spell, the lid of the heavy stone chamber opened, and the gloomy dead rose from their seats with their blue eyes shining.
Balaan was the first to react.
“Yes, Necromensi… ! I’m a necromancer, Tae-oh! This time a necromancer has appeared!”
“I know that too, Balaan. Calm down.”
I calmed Balaan and activated calm thinking.
At this point, I have come to admit that my hypothesis was correct to some extent.
A headhunter in the dark forest, and a mad necromancer in the moonlit graveyard.
These are the episode bosses of the original.
I couldn’t figure out why the episode bosses of the original were appearing in the image of the guide.
One thing is certain, that the fate that I was desperately trying to stop was revealed to my eyes once again. The moment I saw the face of the guide, I would be furious and angry.
