Chapter 118
The Mystery of the Dragon Slaughter (3)
“I can’t access it!”
“Shit! Antonio! What the hell are you guys up to!”
gooh-
The strong winds and hot winds blowing around Kriemhild’s Colossus did not allow Selford and Arin to approach.
So I immediately glared at Antonio as if to kill him.
Even Antonio, not knowing how to do this, stomped his feet.
It was because he could see that the sword of the colossus had already been shattered and cracks were spreading throughout the colossus.
‘What are these kids really going to do… … ! If you’re going to work, do it right! What if I do something like this!’
Antonio already instinctively realized that the Gang Brotherhood had failed.
Otherwise things wouldn’t have been so messed up.
A burst of mystery.
It was clear that this would soon become known throughout the Dominion.
Then the Black Skull will take all the responsibility.
Father Umberto, by nature, would try to get out of hand, saying that this incident had nothing to do with Spinola.
It was a quandary.
‘I’d rather put the blame on them?’
Antonio glanced back at Selford and Arin.
A scenario came to mind in which the crime was passed on to them and the Black Skull tried to stop them.
But,
Remembrance!
“You don’t like this kid’s eyes?”
Arin drew his sword and placed it under his chin.
Antonio bit his lower lip.
at that very moment,
On top!
Suddenly a siren blared, breaking the tension between them.
Every single thing!
-It’s here!
-It’s a report that an intruder has been found around Kriemhild’s Colossus! Hurry up and suppress it! If you resist, you can shoot!
-The Magic Team! Call the magic squad, come on! Mysteries are running rampant!
Outside, the sound of guards moving busily could be heard.
We’ll get to know the situation here soon.
The gazes of Antonio and Selford’s party quickly crossed.
First of all, it was an agreement to leave this place and solve the later work.
However, in order to do so, he had to deal with his colleagues around the colossus, but it was not easy to approach because of the craze.
Simply standing in front of it took my breath away and made my skin ripe.
“Is it okay to just pay the way?”
Then, a strange voice was heard.
The place where Selford and Arin’s eyes were busy.
Suddenly, white frost fell from the sky, and then a blizzard raged.
Every single thing!
The hot air broke in an instant, and ice was spread on the floor.
and inspections that appear.
It was Ray Ragnar.
“Sulbing Sword?”
“I can’t stand this for long. Go quickly.”
Shelford and Arin were surprised to see Ray, but soon threw their doubts behind them and ran on the ice.
Antonio also began to run frantically.
The hour was tight.

“Can I get you a cup of tea?”
Maehwagung has been cluttered for the first time in a long time due to the sudden arrival of guests since dawn.
The repairman, Niel, had come to visit.
In their youth, they were close like sisters, but as both became Kyle’s wife, the distance between them was a rare sight to see.
There must be something the two wives want to share.
The servants and maids served only refreshments and quietly withdrew from the palace.
Dalgrak.
“The teacup is pretty. You have always been very interested in this.”
“What is the story you want to share, Princess Suseon?”
“Was it a place where you could only come if you had business? here?”
“It’s very strange that someone who never visits when there’s no business is saying that.”
“… … I have nothing to say about that.”
Niel put down the teacup he was drinking with a wry smile.
“I want to ask for advice from my daughter.”
“Are you going to scratch your insides in front of someone who has no children?”
“There are rumors that you were adopted?”
The Princess Maehwa smiled quietly without answering.
An elegant elegance was imbued with it.
A completely different look from the cold and chilly Niel.
That scratched Niel’s stomach.
“I’m so happy I’m going to die.”
“Where did I raise my adopted son? Well-bred adoptives came. That is a blessing to me.”
“… … But how about that respectful word? It would be awkward to death.”
“I will decide after seeing what the Princess Suseon does.”
Niel let out a sigh.
people in the world don’t know
It is known that the reason for the distance between the two was simply because of a quarrel over her husband, Kyle, but in fact, that is not a big reason to separate their friendship.
Why is the distance so far? yes. Actually Niel, it was more of her fault.
In the first place, the Maehwa Palace was unable to conceive a child… … .
“A few days ago, Ray left the Suseon Palace. I’ll help Theo. Unbeknownst to me, I had received the approval of Captain Baek Gap Yonggi separately.”
“… … .”
“So I sent it for now… … but you know How hard Ray has been growing up.”
Maehwagungju drank tea in silence.
Niel’s counseling continued.
“I know that he will one day leave my side, and I was prepared, but I keep caring about him after I send him away.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. What should I do?”
Neil’s face was full of worry.
Who would look at her and call her an ice sculpture with extremely rare emotional expressions.
In fact, the Princess Maehwa knew very well that there was no one as emotional as her.
The appearance was just a means to hide it.
“Niel.”
In the end, the Maehwagungju decided to open her heart that had been closed for a while.
“yes?”
“It seems like a very minor concern compared to how you looked as a child.”
“… … .”
“I wouldn’t be able to say that if I only think about how my mother was upset because of you, who was like an idiot at the time. Compared to the fact that he almost burned the palace twice, or that Wonryong’s hair was too thin because you pulled out all of them.”
“… … Why is such a story brought up here?”
“I’m coming because it has something to do with it.”
The Maehwa Palace Lady calmly continued.
“A daughter is a mirror of her mother. I’m just copying the way my mother always looked.”
Niel was speechless for the first time.
In the meantime, the images I saw in front of Ray were passing by like afterimages… … .
“A mother’s duty is very simple. Watching her daughter, who is her mirror, not be out of sync. And when you’re having a hard time, being by your side in silence to be a place of rest for your mind.”
When Niel suffered a serious injury due to his own fault, Niel recalled the image of the previous Princess Maehwa, who silently stood by her side as she burst into tears.
“And that would be no different for my son. The reason I’m waiting here without meddling in Theo’s affairs is because of that, after all. I plan to welcome Theo when he visits.”
Niel quietly closed his eyes and chewed on the Maehwa Palace Lady’s words.
something,
Something unknown touched me deeply.
* * *
“It’s crazy, really.”
Theo let out a long breath.
I don’t know how long it ran.
For several days, I ran away from arrows and bone spears that might appear from nowhere.
He had not been able to rest, eat, or sleep properly, and was extremely fatigued.
It’s been a long time since I almost ran out of mana.
[We have succeeded in recovering some of Kriemhild’s remains. (21/206)]
At least they succeeded in recovering the remains to some extent, but there was still a long way to go.
＜Flame Dancing＞
The fire demon is still eating the forest, and the dragon’s flesh has developed resistance, so it’s getting easier to hunt dragon soldiers.
‘too big. Too many.’
The problem was that the size of the jungle was much larger than he expected, and the number of mercenary soldiers seemed to be in the hundreds of thousands beyond tens of thousands.
‘There must be some other way.’
But the problem was that a solution was rarely seen.
I have no choice but to keep bumping into it.
Theo bumped and bumped again.
Another day or two.
three days, four days.
Ten days, fifteen, twenty days… … .
I don’t know how far away the time is from the real world, but so much time has passed that I wonder if the time limit for quests will all end if I keep going like this.
Then, at some point, Theo completely forgot his sense of time and repeatedly bumped into the mercenary soldier.

“Ugh… … Ugh… … !”
Theo was breathing heavily, heavily wounded by the bone spear and arrow.
Around the time when even my vision was blurred and I couldn’t see properly.
Peeing-
I heard the sound of arrows flying somewhere.
Theo tried to bounce it off somehow, but his body, which had become as heavy as wet cotton, wouldn’t listen.
puck!
Eventually, an arrow pierced his forehead, and his body fell backwards.
Fuhuaak!
and pouring blood.
It was about the time death came.
At that moment, the inventory opened wide and the items inside poured out.
Among the ashes of Kriemhild collected during that time, there was also a wooden box containing Garuda’s heart.
Mokham rolls on the floor and stops in a puddle of Theo’s spilled blood.
thump thump-
The neck jumped.
thump thump thump!
Theo’s heart, which had been slowing down due to excessive blood loss, also sped up again.
By the time the two heart beats are synchronized to some extent.
Pupper puck!
Suddenly, a heap of arrows rained down from the sky and landed on Theo’s corpse.
It was the mercenary soldiers’ resentment for having suffered because of Theo.
One even had Theo’s corpse crushed with his feet, and then burned it with fire.
Thump thump thump!
thump thump… … .
The beating that still remained, instead of becoming more frequent, became steeper and sharper.
At some point, the vibration became so loud that even the mercenary soldiers could hear it.
Kek?
The dragon soldiers raised their heads.
It is to find out where the beating sound is coming from.
keek! Keek!
A few jumped up and pointed to the ground.
It meant that the beating sound could be heard from under the ground.
just as expected.
Cuckoo coo!
At that moment, an earthquake began.
according to the sound of the beating.
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
Keek!
Kiek-
The dragon soldiers hit their jaws hard.
Some instinctively felt fear and screamed.
Something.
Something they didn’t know was coming.
As time passed, the earthquake got louder, and the sound of the beating grew louder and began to reverberate throughout the jungle like thunder.
Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung!
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
and then,
Wow!
Suddenly, the ripples that had been drawn gently on the puddle of Theo’s blood spilled on the floor spread throughout the jungle, and the heartbeats merged into one.
In the meantime, the blood that had been spilled all over the jungle area all at once rose into the air and gathered at one point.
At the same time, Kriemhild’s ashes floated in the air.
As if putting pieces together, the remains were put into place one by one.
The sternum is taking shape, and the right leg section is complete.
Theo’s blood seeped into the chest and took the shape of a heart.
At the center was Garuda’s heart.
As the heart and heart combined, it became a new type of heart and beat vigorously.
coo… … !
With each beat of the heart, the muscles stretched out like branches and covered the bones.
As the skin covered it again, it took on a human form.
The appearance that was revealed in that way resembled the appearance of Kriemhild that Theo had seen in his thoughts someday.
Although the shape was lacking by nearly 30%, there was no problem in distinguishing the figure.
Kriemhild’s vision slowly descended to the floor and knelt on one knee.
He met Theo’s gaze and stroked his chin with his hand. It was a touch of warmth and pity.
Paaa-
Then, Kriemhild’s vision slowly descended on top of Theo.
As if finding your place. As if this was where he would lie down, he began to overlap with Theo.
At that moment, a miracle happened.
Theo, whose body had been regenerated in an instant, slowly opened his eyes.
flash
Theo’s eyes twinkled.
[Succeeded in regeneration using Garuda’s heart.]
[We used the ashes and thoughts of Kriemhild as materials for regeneration. Kriemhild’s karma is engraved on the body.]
[You have acquired advanced dragon slaughter resistance.]
[You have acquired advanced warrior characteristics.]
“porridge… … I guess.”
Theo forced his groaning body to stand up from his seat.
However, unlike the harsh sound, a smile hung on his lips.
It was all thanks to the special effect given by Garuda’s heart.

[Seed of Resurrection]
· Type: Privilege
Description: Can be resurrected only once. However, the materials used at this time are the ones you have.
+
In particular, there was something else that Theo paid attention to.
‘That the materials used are necessary. This is a disadvantage of always having to prepare materials for resurrection, but depending on how you use it, it can also be an opportunity to advance to a higher level.’
That’s why I used Kriemhild’s remains as a material for resurrection.
‘With Ragnar’s talent and magic poison intact, all the bones have been replaced with Kriemhild’s.’
It was like having a body that had both the dragon’s talent and the dragon’s achievements in one body.
Actually, this wasn’t an idea Theo came up with on his own.
The result of a disciple raised by Hilda in her previous life.
‘Although that won’t happen anymore.’
anyway.
-With this, he no longer had to fear the natural enemy of the dragon’s slaughter.
Of course, I haven’t been able to replace some parts with Kriemhild’s yet.
That’s what it’s like to collect and replace it from now on.
In fact, Theo was able to quickly grasp the places where the remaining remains were scattered through his highly sensitive senses.
Quickly pulling out four death beats and flying them to each location, Theo managed to stand up using Drake’s blade as a staff.
‘Let’s speed up a bit.’

[We have succeeded in recovering some of Kriemhild’s remains. (205/206)]
Finally, Theo was able to reach his final destination.
In a cave in a corner of the jungle.
I collected the skull that was rolling on the floor in an old form.
[We have succeeded in recovering some of Kriemhild’s remains. (206/206)]
[You have succeeded in collecting all the remains.]
[The mystery has been completed.]
[Kriemhild’s will is played.]
