Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 273

273

Retrospective (3)

Extreme miscellaneous character.

This was the only goal Dallon had planned when creating the character for the last episode.

That was the conclusion he reached after tens of thousands of hours of play time and hundreds of repetitions.

Archer, Warrior, Wizard, Necromancer, Fighter, Blacksmith, etc.

This is because the later episodes, which pushed the various training routes to their limits, were all blocked by an insurmountable wall.

‘I thought I couldn’t fight all five evil spirits with just one talent.’

Mutuga, who blew up the hill with his bare fists, was defeated by Sun.

The lightning magician who defeated the owner of the Palace of Destruction would also not have been able to resist the Dragon God, whose existence itself was a collection of mysteries.

The archer who killed the great demons with a single arrow could not defeat Laphilem, who was scattering a rain of plague arrows.

Even the necromancers who reached the top of the gods were easy prey for Temomron, the source of the magic.

‘In the first place, the fact that there were five evil spirits was not simply a matter of thinking about numbers.’

The concept of numbers varies greatly depending on who the target is.

For example, let’s say there are five neighborhood bullies.

At best, it’s just five gangsters holding sticks and iron skewers who don’t even know how to use their own bodies properly.

There won’t even be a need to deal with all five. If you pick just one of them and beat it up, the other four will get scared and run away.

But what if there are five explorers in your party? That was a completely different story.

Spearmen equipped with great shields and armor and swordsmen who move flexibly will stand at the forefront, while archers and magicians will freely pour in their firepower at the rear.

If the difficulty level when dealing with a spellcaster or swordsman one by one is 1, then the difficulty level when dealing with a proper party of explorers would be at least 10 or higher.

From a macro perspective, the war against evil spirits was in a similar context.

‘Each evil god has different specialized powers and different roles.’

Sun is unrivaled in terms of fighting spirit and military power despite his short stature.

Temomron, who adds the power of necromancy to the medium called blood spirit, and gathers the army faster than anyone else.

A dragon god who stands at the pinnacle of mystery and spells as the owner of Laphilem, who rains down constantly mutating plagues, and the thirteen great dragons.

And even Enaxagus, who has been spreading his demonic arms all over the continent for thousands of years and plotting tricks behind the backs of other evil gods.

They are usually evil spirits who are busy roaring and biting at each other, but when it comes to devouring the continent, they do not hesitate to turn to cooperation as if they had never done it before.

Hundreds of times I was beaten by that strange alliance.

Dallen ended up ruining the last necromancer character he chose, and had no choice but to admit that his early judgment when he knew nothing about it was right.

‘I guess it was the first hundred episodes or so that I was only raising miscellaneous characters.’

It was possible to tell just by looking at the names of the bodies recovered so far.

The corpse of a sword-wielding wizard.

The body of a lost guide.

The corpse of a hunter who was eaten by an experimental subject, the corpse of a wise man turned into a stew, the corpse of an Inquisitor who secretly admired a witch, etc.

Traces from the early rounds where we tried to collect as many possibilities and accumulate experience as possible without insisting on a special concept or set training route.

As a result, it could be said that Dallon returned to the beginning after making a large circle.

Of course, the result was not the same as before.

Unlike the beginning of the game, he had experience and information accumulated over tens of thousands of hours and a thorough plan to obtain all of those elements.

[The corpse of a fighter who fell into the abyss]

– This is the corpse of a fighter who met his end in the abyss. A warrior and magician whose birthplace is unknown, he swept across the continent and quickly surpassed the hierarchy of transcendents and reached the status of a god. In the process, it sparked numerous wars and took millions of lives, so it was even known in the world that a sixth evil spirit was born, but eventually, after a desperate struggle with the five rulers of the Great Hell, it fell into the bottomless pit, the depths of the labyrinth.

Letters stretched out in the air. It was Hangul.

A character that cannot be found in this world.

A catalyst for memories that semi-forcibly remind me of my old hometown, which is now fading away.

“How does it feel?”

Below the notification window that summarizes hundreds of hours of play time in a few lines, the person who lived hundreds of times that amount of life asked a question.

Dallen was brought out of his thoughts. He slightly relaxed his shoulders. My muscles were a little stiff, perhaps due to tension.

“How do you feel?”

“I feel like the past, which I once thought was just a thrown away ending and a misjudgment, has come back to life on its own.”

The man, Dalin, raised the corners of his mouth. Sharp fangs were revealed.

“Are you surprised? Or are you afraid? Do you have any regrets? “You won’t feel any responsibility, right?”

“…….”

“say it. If it’s responsibility, what kind of responsibility is it? Guilt for the millions of lives slaughtered from afar? And yet, the feeling of helplessness of not being able to save the world? “Doesn’t the weight you carry on your shoulders change even after dozens and hundreds of worlds are equally driven into destruction?”

Absolutely!

Black electricity jumped like sparks between my fingers. At the man’s feet, the overflowing lava was forming a small pond.

Questions urging answers with a half-mad face, with burning eyes fixed on Dallan.

It was nonsense that wasn’t worth listening to. Dalen ignored it with one ear and called out to the demon of subspace.

‘Arbor.’

[…Yes, master?]

‘A technique used to cross between worlds in dreams in the past. Can I use it now?’

***

[If this place is close to the fantasy world… there are certain conditions, but it will be possible in a limited way.]

Arbor said with a frown on his face like a piece of rice cake.

[I can’t travel with you myself, but I can at least create a passageway between worlds. Of course, you have to open the door itself, which is the foundation of the passage, and if the distance between worlds is long, you may have to pick up a few dragon hearts from subspace…] ‘

It doesn’t matter. Then, is it possible to open a passage to a continent other than the fantasy world?’

[Where on the continent…]

‘Labyrinth City.’

It is humanity’s last refuge and a bastion where all the continent’s power is concentrated.

After hearing Dallen’s words, Arbor immediately shook his head. The guy said.

[It’s much easier in a labyrinth city. The distance is close, and the barrier tower’s magic could serve as a link.]

‘That’s good. Get ready right away.’

[Yes, master.]

Arbor quickly begins drawing a magic formation in subspace.

The guy known as the immortal devil was not actually a devil from the start.

A dark star tree hanging over Yeokcheon.

It’s a huge tree that grows behind the well in Yeokcheon, located in the middle of a fantasy world, and spreads out its branches along numerous world lines.

In his dream of meeting the Tsarina immediately after the Northern Battle, Dallon was able to identify the severed stump.

In addition, I became aware of the God of War’s abilities to a certain extent as he beat Arbor like a piece of rice cake.

‘It was actually like a world tree.’

A passage that connects the world to the rest of the world.

A being that can reach not only the various scenes of this fantasy world, but also beyond the world line.

It was unclear how this guy who seemed like a god at first glance fell into the hands of Enaxagus and became a devil.

However, what is important right now is not the background, but only the abilities he can use.

“It’s going to be a little bit jarring.”

Dallen said, looking back at the group. Sienna frowned slightly.

“…what?”

“Go first and wait. “I’ll finish it and then I’ll go back.”

“What does that mean now…”

Sienna frowned slightly. She opened her mouth as if to say something. At that time, Arbor whispered in subspace.

[Master is ready.]

‘Yes.’

As soon as he heard the answer, he pulled out a dagger from his chest.

A bloody ceremonial dagger obtained long ago while retrieving the corpse of a warlock.

Thanks to feeding the soul while fighting powerful enemies, the Red Swordsman was oozing out a strange energy.

Hold the sword backwards and slash it in the air while reciting a short chant.

“Se glam.”

Damn it!

A crack appeared in the air, and a huge passage opened.

[Whoa!]

Cjrrrrrr!!

At the same time, Arbor’s chain poured out from subspace, wrapped around the corner of the huge passage and extended inside.

The ‘Key to the Gates of Hell’ technique that opens the door to hell in reality.

The principle is to build a simple passage between the fantasy world where hell is located and the continent.

With the power of the Star Tree that Arbor had recovered, it was not impossible to change the destination to the continent.

Of course, it was an art that could only be achieved by twisting the Hell Gate itself to its limit, but thanks to the experience and memories of the recently recovered necromancer Dalum Jive, that part was resolved.

Hehehe…!

A harsh wind blew from the other side of the passage, which had suddenly become stable. It was a strange yet familiar magical wind.

[Father, this is the door to the earth…]

The first thing I noticed was Akasha. Dallen nodded and grabbed the boy’s back.

“Go back first.”

[yes? Father…!]

Without waiting for an answer, he throws his hand toward the passage.

The boy’s new form disappeared down the passage in the blink of an eye.

「Area Open: Closed Snowy Mountain Sky」

At the same time, the partially open area’s mountain peak pushed the rest of the party all around and blew them into the passage.

A steep mountainside literally rose from the bare ground and instantly displaced all the people standing on it.

Coo coo coo coo!!

“Dallen? Dallen!”

“Ugh, what is this…!”

Lucia cannot hide her embarrassment. Bjorn was so surprised that he even missed the shotgun.

They try to escape the sudden push of the snow mountain, but the golden magic spreading around Felber blocks their movement.

“I’m sorry, friends. “As a member of the family, I couldn’t disobey orders.”

While Arbor was preparing the spell, Daelon also ordered Felber to develop an area that would bind the party.

After the two people’s surprised expressions passed, the figures of Tommy and Farn, who could not even react, also disappeared beyond the huge passage.

“…….”

Sienna and Felber were the only ones who maintained their composure until the end.

Leaving behind the witch’s sorrowful gaze and the old man’s bitter smile, Dallon released the area.

Kugugu Palace…

The snowy mountain disappeared like a lie and the huge door leading to the ground also lost its power and disappeared.

The vacant lot centered around the hut in the middle of the foggy forest of Silent Sea and Moonlight was quiet, as if something had just happened.

There were now only two people standing in the vacant lot.

Silence flowing through the foggy forest.

The two men, who looked somewhat similar, stared at each other in silence for a while.

“Surprisingly.”

Dallain was the first to speak.
