Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 228

Land of Blood Demons (4)

[The solid skeleton of a true dragon. I guess I should be thankful for the first roar. With this, you are one step closer to being my partner.]

That is some bullshit. Dallen frowned at the red smile beyond the image.

“Have you become senile since last time? After living thousands of years, you must have a conscience…”

[What do you think? Age has no meaning to those who transcend species. Isn’t that true just by looking at the White Eyed Seer? Even an old monster who has lived in human flesh for over a thousand years still has the appearance of a girl.]

“You crazy man.”

Pioneers should be an exception. Even in the context of the game, her appearance was a curse that had nothing to do with her will.

It is said that he was awakened to the ability to see timelines at a very young age, and as a result, his own time became fixed.

That was the reason for his weak physical ability, which was not typical of a transcendental person. Since the body’s growth itself had stopped at the teenage level, no matter what they did, there was no room for their muscles to develop.

[Anyway, your mouth is getting rougher. Does not matter. Even a rebellious younger woman has her own charm…]

It makes no sense at all. Dallen shook his head and closed his ears to the old dragon.

The sky was clear all day. It was one month since the Allied Forces of the City went to war.

The army that left Falcion was moving south smoothly without any friction.

During the day, they marched along the main road extending to the border, and at night they settled down and camped.

There were monsters running rampant throughout the territory of the City Federation, but as long as they had heads, no one had the guts to mess with the 70,000-strong army.

Sometimes, when a headless monster attacks, it is helpful in maintaining public order.

As they went down south and passed through villages devastated by the invasion of the imperial army, they would leave one or two units behind to rebuild the villages and then go back down.

The season that transitions from summer to fall. A cool breeze tickles the tip of my nose. I feel relaxed for the first time in a long time. Dallen opened the status window.

*Unique Skill (26)

――――――――

Level 45. Even though she is in her 60s, she already has four abilities.

The effect of the keel was amazing. The stats I gained after recovering all the corpses in the Bronze Zone for a month were about 20, and the stats I gained from the half-day surgery were about half of that.

Of course, I nodded my head when I thought of it as a master of the process of removing the bones of the entire body and putting them back together.

It was a pain he had never experienced in his life, even though he had been wandering around the battlefield since falling into this world.

‘If you think about it, all abilities passed 100 in the last episode.’

The character from the last round was developed by collecting all the data accumulated over hundreds of rounds of play and selecting only the best results.

He consumed almost every elixir in existence and pursued any means possible to become stronger.

Of course, it wasn’t a perfect episode.

Because I needed to save time, I gave up recruiting colleagues a long time ago, and training forces that required investing more time and materials was something I couldn’t even dream of.

However, after following such a sharply divided scenario, Ilshin’s ability was able to be said to be superior to any other episode.

With a single wave of his hand, he summons a storm of lightning and flames that will burn the forest, and a light swing of his sword is enough to split the walls of the imperial capital.

‘He was several steps higher than Daeltarion, the lightning magician who reached his peak as a wizard.’

He was an opponent whose chances of winning, let alone even escaping, were difficult to guarantee. If the five evil spirits hadn’t banded together, it would definitely have been the first clear episode.

Of course, if that were the case, I wouldn’t have fallen to this ground like I do now.

Sighing at the unfortunate or fortunate event, Dallen listened to the sound of approaching horses’ hooves.

“Lvivach! “It’s Lvivach!”

The city of herbalists was just around the corner.

***

The city was nothing but ruins.

The walls were torn down in many places, and nearly one-third of the buildings were burned down or collapsed.

In the central square where the pantheon’s flag was waving, hundreds of burned corpses were piled up in a heap.

In the middle of a square full of traces of fire.

Dallen and the commanders gathered together under the banner of the Pantheon and the raising of the city union flag.

“We found survivors, but not many.”

Eberron, who had just finished scouting with his soldiers, spoke.

Known as the face of a thousand cartoons, he was in charge of overall command of the army, taking advantage of his ability to handle dozens of artificial bodies.

“According to the testimony, they killed all those who resisted and took the rest as slaves.”

“It’s the imperial way. “It was like this about 500 years ago, when they were at the height of their war of expansion.”

This woman, who casually talks about the history of five centuries ago as if it happened last night, is also a transcendent of the Diamond Palace.

He was a 5th rank warrior who was called the master of the dragon-headed carriage because of his feat of taming a dragon to pull his carriage.

“Kill…empire…those…”

The man with flames rising from his mouth with every word he says is also one of the transcendents who have lived and maintained the barrier tower for hundreds of years.

I said it was Luktabeth, the Flame Palace. According to the setting, it is said to be a half-combination of a spirit and a human, but it was my first time seeing it so close.

“For now, let’s rest for a day and leave tomorrow.”

Eberron concluded in a cold voice. Rebuilding Lvivbach might require more troops than expected.

No matter how small the city was, it was far beyond the size of the village, so there was no need to leave one or two units behind like in the villages we passed through before.

A minimum number of troops must be stationed to protect the survivors, but anything more than that would go against the very purpose of summoning the military.

“It seems like it was just yesterday that I visited the congressman with the introduction of the Galios merchant group… I can’t believe this has happened in the meantime.”

With Felber’s voice full of lament, the army set up camp throughout the city.

Dallen settled into the room at the inn where he stayed earlier.

It was the same inn where I stayed when I went to cut down the Ash Witch.

“The lamb ribs steamed with herbs are a bit disappointing.”

Dallen muttered while lying on the bed. The bed was not very comfortable as the straw had not been changed for a long time.

Still, it was a satisfactory sleep just because it wasn’t touched by fire. Most of the soldiers were camping out in tents on the street.

“Yakju is the same.”

Who would have thought that the few bottles of medicinal liquor that Felber saved by using his regional abilities would now truly be one of the few specialties of Lvivbach left on the continent.

I liked the high alcohol content and the sharp, bitter taste. Dallen licked his lips and stared at the ceiling.

‘If I had been a little faster, I could have saved it.’

A city has disappeared.

The residents were slaughtered mercilessly like animals without even being able to properly resist.

He had cut down thousands of monsters and killed quite a few people, but that did not make him feel at ease in front of the scene of massacre.

Because the bodies piled up like a mountain in the square were no longer just a mass of polygons beyond the monitor.

“…Rotten.”

They were someone’s child, parent, lover, or friend.

The weight of life was not light. The fact that there was nothing I could do did not relieve me of any regret.

Maybe it’s because even now, after going through many limbs, the weakness of a thirty-four-year-old man still remains inside.

[Not changing doesn’t necessarily mean stagnation, Dallon.]

“They say you can’t read other people’s minds. “Was it a lie?”

[no. I still can’t see inside you. But I know you’re sad. Because the sky in your image is crying.]

“…….”

Dallen stared at the dark wood grain on the ceiling in silence.

It’s a mental image. Tsarina said that imagery is what draws the future.

Lightning Master Daeltarion drew a sky that collected all the lightning from all over the world.

The Tsarina pledged to protect the future of the Tsardom by becoming the frozen sky and earth of the North.

‘You can choose. What kind of future do you want to see?’

The queen’s voice passes through my head. It’s not that I haven’t thought about what the future I see for myself will be like.

I decided to get the wish stone and return to my hometown.

I wanted to protect my precious people with the power I gained from this land.

The clearer the future you picture in your mind, the more solid your landscape will be.

It must have been the final gateway to the 6th level, which completely unfolds one’s own world and overwrites reality as it is.

So what part of him do the dark clouds that cover the sky represent?

[They say that doing pastimes when you have a lot to think about is also helpful.]

“…….”

[If pastimes don’t suit your taste, something like training. Or exchanging sweet whispers in bed with a lover who understands your heart…]

“You must be very persuasive when you don’t even have a body to lie on the bed with.”

Dallen laughed and stood up.

He got up from the bed, naturally gathered his weapons and left the room.

Footsteps leaving the inn without a sound. Following the shadows of the streets, we cross the city, pass through the broken gates, and turn onto an old dirt road.

No one followed his traces as he hid in the Windyung Barrier. As he increased his speed, it wasn’t long before dense trees greeted him.

‘Lvivbach Forest.’

Where he split the witch’s head in two many years ago.

Dallen walked into the bushes without hesitation. The spacing between the trees was generous, and herbs were trampled underfoot as commonly as grass.

It was said that due to the annihilation of the Mandrake in the fight against the witch, the nutrients would overflow onto the land and there would be a bountiful harvest of medicinal herbs for a while.

Unfortunately, before the good harvest could end, Lvivbach was swept up in war and was left in ruins.

Sabak. Sabak.

The deeper I went, the more I noticed burnt trees here and there. Although it was covered with moss and herbs, it was clearly a sign of a fight at that time.

And seeing those traces means that the center of the forest is getting closer. Dallen slowed down his walking pace and closed his eyes.

Then, naturally, other senses expanded instead of sight, conveying stimuli from thousands of meters away.

‘God gave a revelation. It is said that an army of humans is gathered in a nearby ruined city.’

‘Shoot! This is an opportunity given to us by God. Let’s set the city on fire. Let’s eat those who come out alive!’

‘for a moment. According to the sewage rats, there are four disgusting old monsters of Geumgang Palace. Even the warrior who killed the sixth finger.’

‘What’s wrong with that? Were you even afraid of dying? ‘Cowards won’t help the clan!’

‘Get out! coward! ‘You cat bitch!’
