Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 246

246

Collapsed Tower (3)

It was a bit close to speculation.

Because it was strange to place a god who came down from heaven and myself, who came from earth, on the same line.

Legends and doctrines that God came down to earth in human form frequently existed in previously inhabited worlds.

“…That’s an unexpected question.”

But why?

The corner of the warrior’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Not many people connect the distant legend with the life right before their eyes. “What common ground have you found between you and me?”

“It appeared when the world was falling apart. He wasn’t born, he literally appeared. “I fought against demons and evil spirits, and…”

“I mainly use swords and axes when I fight. Well, it seems like you like to mix things up in addition to that. “That was a good insight.”

…I didn’t mean to talk about weapons. I guess it doesn’t matter.

“The place where I originally lived is not the continent that your body stands on now. So, you could say he’s from another world.”

“Then which world were you originally from? Like me…”

“Was it Earth? well. It must be close to denial. However, as someone who has not made this land my home, the trajectory of my life may be helpful to you.”

The warrior slowly crossed the backyard. He was looking at the pillar of light crashing down on the mountaintop beyond the hill leading from the back yard.

Dallen asked, putting his hands in his belt. For some reason, it seemed like there wasn’t much time left.

“Are you God?”

“If that’s what you want to believe.”

The warrior laughed. His steps slowed down a bit.

“What kind of bullshit is that?”

“If you want to believe in God, then God. If you want to be friends, be friends. If you want to think of them as brothers or comrades, that will happen too. For that purpose, I burned my life on this continent.”

“…….”

“What does it matter what name you call it? Isn’t that right? “No matter what you call yourself, you are yourself and I am also myself.”

Rotten. Saying something with an attitude that would make a decent northerner go away would be a slap in the face to any spellcaster.

The warrior, who was good at reading other people’s thoughts, walked a little slower. He said as he took his last steps at a strange tempo.

“The world is full of spellcasters. Isn’t that right?”

Let’s go.

The surrounding scenery has changed.

This happened the moment the warrior took his last step. Dallen reflexively expanded his senses and scanned his surroundings.

Coo coo coo…!

The place where the two people stood was the top of a snowy mountain.

To be exact, in front of the highest peak among hundreds of mountain peaks and the pillar of light falling down on it.

The pillar of light pouring down with a heavy noise was white. The color somehow reminded me of the white background that filled the screen at the start of the game.

The warrior who was looking up at the flickering light opened his mouth again.

“The reason I came today is to tell you that your choice is not far off.”

“select?”

“I won’t intervene much. “I have respected your decision so far, and I will continue to do so.”

The warrior turned around.

At that moment, the distance between the two people converged to 0.

“…!”

Tuk. Tuk.

A fist lightly hitting his hard chest. Dallen slowly relaxed his grip on the axe.

The moment the distance got closer, his hand unconsciously held the ax halfway out.

But the man’s hand gestures were faster than that. Even though it was a light gesture without much force.

“Remember the decision you made in the Lvivbach Forest on your second visit. “If you don’t forget how you got to where you are, you won’t get lost.”

“What is that…”

“I’ll see you soon. “The next meeting will be in the labyrinth.”

Coo coo coo coo–!!

The brilliance emitted by the pillar of light became stronger. The five and sixth senses become distant. It was the feeling of waking up from a dream.

Dallen instinctively stretched out his hand. There was no clear reason or basis, but he knew.

Why on earth did I, who was playing games in the corner of my room, end up on this continent?

The only way to know this is if you reach out and grab it now.

─────

─────

A feeling as if my body was floating. A sense of heterogeneity in space and time.

In my dizziness, something touches my fingertips. Dallen grabbed and pulled himself closer. In a flash, my eyes became completely white.

And the light faded.

“……Dallen?”

My eyes were a little dazzled. Dallen frowned.

Sunlight coming from outside the window filled half of my field of vision. The other half was someone’s face.

Black hair as flowing as silk.

Long eyelashes that curl beautifully when you smile.

black eyes. A sculpted nose. Moist lips. Cheeks slightly red.

My senses returned and a nice scent came into my mind. The witch said softly.

“…Dallen, it hurts a little.”

Dallen then lowered his gaze a little lower. His bear-paw hands were grasping her shoulders.

Sienna frowned slightly. Long eyelashes came together slightly, creating a slight wrinkle between the eyebrows. She said.

“Will you let me go?”

“…Sure.”

Dallen relaxed his grip. Sienna stayed still for a moment even though she let go, then placed her hand on Dallen’s chest and slowly backed away.

She took a slightly shaky breath and opened her mouth again.

“I apologize for entering the room without saying anything.”

“It’s okay.”

“There was a reason. “A messenger came from Geumgang Palace.”

messenger? In this border city that was ruled by vampires not long ago?

“It’s a messenger sent by the White-Eyed Seer.”

“Right.”

It was understandable to her. Through the celestial sphere, the seer could see to the other side of the continent or even across the sea to the land of the elves.

In addition, since he had declared that he would have a fight with the blood spirit from the moment he left the labyrinth city, it was only natural that he had been keeping a close eye on the party.

The battle with the blood spirit was a battle that depended on the fate of the continent, and since it was confirmed that the battle was over, a messenger must have been sent.

Of course, even if that were the case, what would be worthy of sending a messenger to this far southern part?…

“They say the barrier tower of the labyrinth city has collapsed.”

“…what?”

Holy shit. That’s not right.

***

Barrier Tower.

It is a towering structure in the middle of the central square of the Pure Silver District and a sacred place that all explorers of the labyrinth city pass through.

It was known in the world that this barrier tower played a decisive role in stopping monsters coming from the labyrinth.

The reality was a little different.

It was true that the barrier tower played a part in the barrier that suppressed the labyrinth, but its more important role was as a passageway into the labyrinth.

A passage that provides safe access to the only labyrinth on the continent.

Wasn’t the reason why so many swordsmen and spellcasters paid huge tolls to enter the pure silver area to enter the labyrinth through the space transfer magic circle of the barrier tower?

“…That barrier tower collapsed.”

Talk. Talk.

Dallen said, tapping the table with his fingertips. The atmosphere in the mansion conference room was quite tense.

“That’s a bombing too.”

“yes. “It was something we didn’t expect.”

The messenger sent by the white-eyed seer nodded.

It was an obvious story. Who would expect to be hit and get hit?

Fortunately or unfortunately, there was no bomb attack on the barrier tower beyond the monitor.

However, the problem was that such a terrorist attack occurred only once out of hundreds of times, and even in that case, Dallon fell under the evil spirit and became a terrorist himself.

‘An incident that could have occurred only if the main character moved occurred even though I did not personally take action.’

That probably means that the development of this episode is twisted beyond control.

This was something I had already been aware of for a long time, but it was also true that my breath caught in my throat when I heard unexpected news like this.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… It seems like it was only yesterday that we signed a ceasefire agreement but we are having a lot of trouble at the Geumgang Palace too. “Have you caught the suspect?”

“Yes, Topju. “They were henchmen of the empire.”

“…this.”

Felber stroked his beard with a troubled expression.

As he said, it was not long after the city union and the empire signed a truce.

Carrying out a direct terrorist attack on the labyrinth city at this timing is no different than saying fuck you.

Of course, at this point in time when the end is approaching, such an important matter could not be interpreted simply diplomatically.

“It would be difficult to say that this was simply the work of the empire.”

“hmm? “Why is that?”

Bjorn asked. The dwarf’s beard and face were covered in soot.

Last night, he stayed in his temporary workshop until dawn and didn’t come out. After ascending to the 5th rank, the dwarf devoted himself several times more to research than before.

“The timing is too odd. “He cleverly took advantage of the time when the eyes of the pioneers were focused on the south, and he avoided surveillance by using gunpowder rather than technical means.”

Even the eyes of a seer looking over the entire continent had no choice but to focus on the south for the past few months.

Dalen and his party were stalking the Vampire Counties in hopes of catching the blood spirit, and the Holy Knights were struggling to block the dragon army directly led by the Dragon God.

The fate of the continent is at stake, not one, but two. That’s probably why terrorists were able to infiltrate the city.

If it had just ended up to this point, there would have been no problem, but the terrorists persistently targeted the weak points of the barrier tower, which were barely known.

The magic system that defends the barrier tower was designed primarily when it was attacked by magic.

This is probably because, as it is a barrier tower solidly built with all kinds of magic and special abilities, a transcendental person of at least the 5th rank or higher is needed to defeat it with pure physical power.

The transcendental people of the Diamond Palace were not easy enough to allow such a transcendental person to openly roam the streets of Pureun.

“I have no idea how many subspace pockets would have been used for that level of explosives.”

“When it was brought into the city, it was brought in mixed with regular cargo over several months, and when transported to the sterling silver area, subspace bags were used as you mentioned.”

“Hmm… for several months…”

“To avoid arousing suspicion, superhumans of the 4th rank or higher were not even involved, and the subspace pouch only used items made in the magic towers inside the labyrinth city. ”

Dallen rubbed his temples as the messenger explained. This is because the method was suspiciously similar to the terrorist attack he committed behind the monitor.

And the mastermind who planned the terrorist attack at that time and the evil god that Dallan’s character served was none other than Enaxagus.

It was clear that the person behind this terrorist attack was someone who had taken control of the empire in the name of the pantheon.

“Diamond Palace’s position is also the same as what Dallan said. This doesn’t seem to be a simple diplomatic issue. “It must be the work of an evil spirit.”

The messenger’s thoughts seemed to be similar.

This may be because he is also one of the transcendents of the Diamond Palace and has lived for more than hundreds of years to perceive the true nature of evil spirits.

“But the Prophet said not to worry. The barrier tower is only an entrance to the labyrinth, and the labyrinth city itself was designed to operate as a barrier, so it is still impossible for monsters to come up…” “

I’m not worried about that.”

“…What if?”

“The fact that the entrance to the labyrinth is blocked is a problem in itself.”

Talk. Talk.

The hand tapping on the table stopped. Dallen sighed deeply and stood up.

“I’m sorry for making a hasty decision, but we need to move right away. “I will explain the detailed reasons as we go.”

“yes?”

“You mean right now?”

Dallen nodded. He quickly checked his armament and continued speaking.

“Right Now. “The destination is the headquarters of the Holy Knights.”

“Holy Knights…?”

“It looks like Enaxagus is trying to stop us from getting the Wish Stone.”
