Episode 100 – Muriel’s Ruins (2)
Xian did not stop walking.
Seeing Xian like that made Arya even more flustered.
Holy knights, including Rachel, murmured.
Still, Xian didn’t care at all.
Turbuck.
Upon entering, the first thing that greeted Xian was the deep green fog.
This mist, like poisonous mist, was sucked into Xian’s lungs with each inhalation and exhalation.
Seeds of plague dormant in the mist.
It entered Xian’s lungs and germinated.
Excited at the environment of the new host, it quickly permeated into the lungs.
At the same time, the blood is contaminated and spreads throughout the body.
and.
wriggling
Without fail, the demonic energy inherent in Xian’s body also responded.
The response was also ‘dare’.
Thus, they force obedience to the seeds of the plague that have flowed in.
And is it because of the progress rate of the hemp-honed method, which has increased a lot in the meantime?
The process was truly instantaneous.
The seeds of the plague succumbed to failure.
The seeds of plague that have engulfed the source cannot stretch their power.
It just returns to its essence.
And right at that moment.
Tring!
[Magic Soul Recipe Progress 47.8601% (+0.0001%)]
A beep sounded that the progress rate of the Mahone Recipe had risen.
That figure is 0.0001%.
Currently, the number that Xian gets for each patient he treats is 0.001%.
As a figure of about one tenth of that.
In fact, it could be called a meaningless number because it was so minuscule.
But this was simply subduing the seeds of plague in the mist.
So it’s just a part of the plague that comes out from the source.
Besides, there was still a thick poisonous mist sprayed around Xian.
It continued to seep into Xian’s lungs every time he breathed.
that means that.
Tring! Tring! Tring!
[Mahon Recipe Progress 47.8602% (+0.0001%)]
[Mahon Recipe Progress 47.8603% (+0.0001%)]
[Mahon Recipe Progress 47.8604% (+0.0001%)]
.
.
.
The progress of the mahone manufacturing method continued to rise!
“Ahh···.”
Sian let out an exclamation involuntarily.
Even if you breathe, you become stronger.
What kind of nonsensical training is this!
“Huh…!”
Xian took a deep breath.
Then I felt the aura of plague that filled my lungs.
At the same time, tyring! Tring! Tring!
It started beeping like crazy!
“Haaa…!”
Sweet.
It’s too sweet even if it’s sweet.
“Haaa!!”
Sian took in a sweet breath and exhaled again.
And those who watched Xian’s appearance.
“·······”
“·······”
“·······”
what···.
I had nothing to say.
“Haaa!”
What can you say when you see that look?
Xi’an’s surroundings were truly terrifying.
Remnants scattered by the source of the plague.
Even the trees were diseased and grotesquely distorted.
The ground was polluted and sticky.
There was no place without a strong stench and the remnants of the plague.
Anyone could see that they would be rotten if they went there.
But look now
“Haaa…!”
Xian was making an ecstatic expression!
And what…
Xian suddenly moved.
And I stopped walking in a puddle-like place.
Could it have been a pond in the past?
But now the plague was nothing more than a bubbling, boiling uncleanness.
Sian abruptly put his hand inside it.
Something strange and greasy came out of Xian’s hand.
It’s a shocking sight for a while.
Sian brought the things on his hands to his nose.
Then he sniffed and sniffed.
“Haaa!!”
He exhaled the world’s sweetest breath!
It is not a plague that rots the inside.
As if he had discovered some kind of heavenly honey, he was making a worldly sweet expression.
Is that… is that possible?
Oh, maybe a saint is possible?
People’s eyes naturally turned to Arya.
But what
“·······”
Arya’s expression was also not very different from theirs.
So… what kind of crazy guy is that? That expression.
that means that
Even Arya couldn’t do it.
yeah, i can’t
no, you can’t do that
“·······”
“·······”
“·······”
Really…
I had nothing to say.
Do you know or don’t know how they feel?
“I will go alone from here.”
Suddenly, Xian spoke.
Xian’s body was covered with plague.
To be honest, I had nothing to say.
Exactly, I didn’t want to go with you!
Holy knights including Rachel.
And Arya didn’t say anything.
Actually, Xian felt comfortable being alone.
Although Rachel is not a demon.
It was true that there was a strange sense of incongruity.
If we go together, it won’t be so annoying.
Above all, Xian removed the source of the plague and at the same time.
I had to dig up the secrets and truths that lay dormant in Muriel’s ruins.
I don’t know what it is.
If you work with Rachel, there will be restrictions.
Aria was… alright.
Apparently, Arya didn’t seem to have an easy time coming to this plague either.
Well, since she was a saint, there shouldn’t be a big problem.
However, this is still the beginning of the source of the plague.
The closer we got to the source of the plague, the more unknown what would happen.
So, from here on, it was better to go to Xi’an alone.
“Then I will go.”
Xian leaves behind the dazed people.
I took a step in search of Muriel’s ruins.
#
Shortly after Xian disappeared to find the source of the plague.
For a while, a desolate silence descended.
No, can we call this static?
Everyone just looked at the place where Xian had disappeared with absurd faces.
How much time had passed like that?
“… will it be all right?”
Garrett came over to Rachel’s side and said.
A low voice that could not be heard around.
Garrett opened his mouth again.
“The plague really doesn’t seem to work. If it’s like this…”
“are you okay.”
Rachel cut Garrett off.
gaze.
“Because the plague is not the problem.”
At Rachel’s words, Garrett nodded slightly.
Because he knew that too.
what’s inside me
What is the source of the plague?
I saw it with my own two eyes and experienced it.
so.
“I can’t come back alive.”
Xian can’t come back alive from there.
die enough to say
Thus the saint dies and the source of the plague is not removed.
As a result, the plague spreads again in the south.
However, there is no saint to cure the plague anymore.
“Everything is as God wills.”
Garrett lowered his head moderately and said.
There were some hiccups in the plan, but nothing else.
“I’ll go right away.”
Rachel turned slowly.
And a word from Garrett that I heard.
“What should the saintess do?”
Rachel paused for a moment.
Then, slowly, he turned his head.
There, Arya was glaring at Rachel and Garrett.
The hostility I felt all the way to this place.
To be precise, animosity that has been going on for quite some time.
In the meantime, it was pretty annoying.
What can I do now?
Rachel’s mouth opened slowly.
“Do as Sir Garrett wishes.”
Along with that, something other than divinity flashed in Garrett’s eyes.
#
The more you enter the source of the plague, the more intense the plague becomes.
The muddy ground was as muddy as a swamp, making it difficult to move.
Everywhere, plague-infected worms of every kind swarmed.
Monsters engulfed in plague also attack from time to time.
It could be said that it was a terrible space that ordinary people could not endure even for a moment.
Nevertheless, Sian moved on without hesitation.
The remnants of all sorts of plagues have plagued Xian.
Xian’s latent demonic force subdued them all.
The source demon that Xian handles.
In a word, the plague was the source of the mother.
Tring!
[Magic Soul Recipe Progress 48.0004% (+0.0001%)]
In the end, it was only reconciled with its essence.
“Ahhh···!”
Xian shuddered and shivered as the progress continued to rise.
Literally, it was like taking a breath and progressing.
As a result, the progress rate has already risen from 47% to 48%.
I barely managed to raise 14% while going through all that hard work.
Here, it was raised to 48% in just a few days.
A different feeling of pleasure from string quality.
“Ahhh···!!”
Xian couldn’t come to his senses for a while.
Is it because of that?
“Oh right.”
Xian could realize that he had forgotten one thing.
“They will ask for money.”
They did not receive gold in return for removing the source of the plague.
Since he’s a cardinal, he must have a lot of money.
I should have ripped out at least 1 million gold and bought ＜Muriel’s Prayer＞.
There were also unexpected quests.
I was blinded by the progress of the hemp method and just came without thinking.
Is it because I have seen a lot of people suffering from the plague?
I was only thinking of getting rid of the source of the plague.
“I should have ripped off the gold while doing it…”
unanswered mistake.
“Should we do something different after work is over?”
Still, I did a big job, but I won’t pretend I didn’t know.
“Or should I just pick and eat the mulberries?”
Either that, or slowly removing the source of the plague seemed fine.
If you keep going like this, even if you breathe, you will become stronger.
So, wouldn’t it be okay to achieve 100% progress of the Mahon Recipe and remove it?
“As long as the plague doesn’t spread outside, I think it’ll be fine.”
Xian seriously thought about it.
“First of all, let’s investigate the ruins.”
Xian continued to walk.
Xian didn’t know exactly where Muriel’s remains were.
However, an approximate location could be found.
As the story breakout quest says.
It was said that the source of the plague was in Muriel’s ruins.
So if you follow the place where the energy of plague is getting stronger.
It was clear that Muriel’s remains were there.
“I think it’s about this…”
still far away.
Xian was able to find what appeared to be the entrance to the ruins.
The entrance was placed alone in the middle of the forest.
And it seems that Xian’s guess was correct.
The aura of plague was clearly spreading around the entrance.
The trees were all dry and twisted.
The contaminated land lost its intellect and was charred and dead.
desolate ruins.
There were no signs of life around the entrance of the ruins.
That’s why I couldn’t believe that it was Muriel’s remains.
Xian slowly moved towards the entrance of the ruins.
In an instant, the aura of plague engulfed Xian’s body.
An energy five or six times stronger than the previous plague.
But tyring! It was only changed with the progress of the mahone method with a sound.
Xian slowly approached the entrance of the ruins.
The ruins were located underground, and a road leading to the basement was visible.
And the inside of the basement was dotted with black darkness.
A pitch-black darkness in which not a single light escapes.
It was as if something in the abyss lurked.
“It’s too dark…”
If you are a wizard, you can brighten your vision through simple magic.
However, Xian is a knight, not a wizard.
I couldn’t use magic at all.
Because magic and aura could not be used at the same time.
Of course, you could also use the light of the aura to illuminate your vision.
However, Cyan’s aura light was not the usual blue.
Dark black like pitch black.
It was Tsuna Mana.
but.
“Would it be a smart phone?”
Xian had a smart phone.
Xian immediately took out his smartphone and launched the mobile lord.
I brought the light that burst into the screen in front of me.
“Um… but it’s dark.”
It was dark though.
The light from the smartphone screen was not very bright.
It was also because the darkness was too thick.
Right then.
Tring!
《If it’s too dark ahead, turn on the flashlight!》
In an instant, a new notification window popped up on the screen.
“flashlight?”
Sian tilted his head involuntarily.
“Is this?”
Eventually, I clicked on the icon that said ‘flashlight’.
Flash!
Then, a bright beam of light burst out from the back of the smartphone.
At the same time, the darkness receded at once, and the field of vision opened up.
“oh!”
Xian burst out in exclamation.
It was also because the intensity of the light was enormous.
It was much brighter than most wizards’ light magic.
There was no problem at all with this view.
but.
Tring!
《The flashlight function is in use!》
《Battery consumption rate increases rapidly!》
《Consumes 1G per minute!》
.
.
There was a problem on the other side.
“······ sh*t.”
I should have extorted money from Rachel.
Well, it wasn’t that I didn’t have money at the moment.
There were no major problems in exploring the ruins.
Tring!
《If the future is too dark, try a hyeonjil~!》
“······ See you later.”
Xian drives away the darkness with the light of a flashlight.
He cautiously stepped inside.
After the downhill, I saw a passage leading to the side.
Xian turned the corner and stepped.
And the appearance of the ruins unfolding in front of such Xian.
“…?”
Xian’s head tilted involuntarily.
“Are you used to it?”
Because the structure… was quite familiar.
Rather than being used to it… should I say that I’ve encountered it once.
A strange feeling of deja vu arose.
The Arnaise Hall in the basement of the imperial palace?
Xian shook his head.
It was different from that feeling.
much earlier than that.
“Oh yeah.”
It is none other than Xian’s smartphone.
This is where I first met the mobile lord.
Arnaise’s artifact, the ruins of the cave where he obtained his smartphone.
It wasn’t quite the same.
However, I felt a sense of deja vu as if it resembled the structure there.
And was that guess wrong?
Before long, the field of view was open and a wide cavity was visible.
An area similar to where a smartphone was placed.
And in the center of the cavity, there was a faint light shimmering and something.
Xian slowly approached the light.
Could it be that there are artifacts like smart phones?
I also heard that anticipation.
However, as they got closer, they could see that the cyan was not an artifact.
“······ person?”
It was clearly the shape of a man.
A knight wearing hard armor.
A faint light leaked from the darkness inside the helmet.
That moment.
flash!
For an instant, dark blue eyes flickered inside the helmet.
Two eyes lit up in the thick darkness.
-This is an area that is not easily accessible…
and a voice heard.
No, rather than a voice, it felt like I was punching that will directly into my brain.
A terrible aura felt at the same time.
That’s why Xian was able to notice the identity of the existence in front of his eyes.
Death Knight, Death Knight.
The existence of a demon born out of a grudge of an outstanding knight during his lifetime.
Why is there such an evil being in Muriel’s ruins…?
-Are you from the Vatican…
The two dark eyes of the Death Knight turned to Xian.
at the same time.
“Cheuk…!”
An overwhelming presence weighs on Xian.
A powerful deterrent has bound Xian’s whole body.
A terrible murderous intent that makes it impossible to breathe easily.
It’s like…
It was something similar to facing Durak.
only with momentum.
Killing the existence by crushing it.
So Xian was able to realize at once.
Death Knight in front of you.
It is not an ordinary Death Knight.
Minimum Master.
It is also a powerful being of intermediate level or higher.
‘Kkeuh…!’
The suppressing power grew stronger and stronger.
It didn’t end there.
Roaring!
A dark blue light shone around Xian.
At the same time, numerous Death Knights were visible.
The number is about 30.
The dark blue eyes of 30 are directed towards Xian.
“Chehehe…!”
Xian let out a terrible pang.
A deadly instinct sounds a ceaseless warning.
But Xian had no time to think.
Exactly, I couldn’t believe this situation right now.
The Death Knight now hangs around.
The energy I felt from them was also unusual.
It wasn’t unusual.
The words… were speechless.
That would be the case with the 30 Death Knights around Xian.
all of them
Because it was Master’s level.
Creepy fear hangs over.
At the same time, 30 Death Knights move.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
unable to survive
A terrible murderous intent erupts.
