Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 70

Sanctuary Battle (1)

Creep –

The body is shaken by the explosive increase in physical ability. Dallen opened the status window, feeling a sense of exaltation amidst pleasant tremors.

“Oh.”

The reward was good. No, it wasn’t salty.

From a single corpse, you get four stats, items, and B-level skills.

Usually, when a high-grade skill is obtained, a small amount of ability points are given, so this was a level of compensation that I had never seen before.

In particular, B-grade skills are on the borderline of being classified as ‘mysterious’ even in the game settings.

It was a similar concept to the realm of overriding the impossible with possibility, which was higher than the swordsmanship that rained fire and cut through even the devil’s body.

‘This will require quite a bit of training.’

Dallen stroked his chin. It is natural that the greater the power, the more difficult it is to handle.

Qualifications are qualifications, but you also have to put in several times as much effort.

The abilities gained by leveling up were invested in physical strength. As a result, his physical strength level was 29.

Strength began to be incorporated into the area in earnest right after the number reached 30 and the area was achieved.

Since it seemed like I would reach my stamina soon, it was time to think about ways to apply it to the area and use it.

‘In the end, what matters is my image as the owner of that area.’

Dallen knew.

A realm of power that can only be obtained in this living, breathing world that is not indicated by numbers and alphabetic grades in the status window.

The fact that we can use and pioneer that power holds great potential.

An apocalypse that has not been overcome in the past hundreds of episodes.

The real key to overcoming those endless failures that last thousands of hours beyond the monitor is.

Maybe it wasn’t in the extra stats or successor options that just played with numbers and ranks.

The power of the realm in the fantasy world that materializes possibilities beyond his imagination.

And future possibilities are sprouting and blooming using the past and present he has changed so far.

It is the power of possibility that creates phenomena that cannot exist and resurrects the future of those who should have died.

Dallen’s intuition vaguely told him that it was a gemstone that could be forged into a blade that would slay the evil gods.

‘It’s still a story in the distant future.’

Dallen shook his head. He turned his gaze towards the devil. The immortal demon Arbor was sprawled out on the altar.

Dallen stabbed the guy with the tip of the holy sword.

“Ahh! Wow! “It hurts, master!”

“Once you’ve finished eating, you should think about getting up. Isn’t that right?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. “I’m sorry…”

The devil quickly knelt down and begged. Now that I think about it, the guy absorbed the soul and grew quite large.

Although it is not as big as the first one, its body has grown to almost twice the size of a person. Even though he was kneeling, he was slightly taller than Dallon.

Dallen, who had raised his head slightly to stare at the guy, opened his mouth with an indifferent expression.

“hey. Reduce it again.”

“Yes yes?”

“Size down. “Can’t you?”

The devil rolled his eyes back and forth. How can one word make me feel so dirty?

I regained some strength, but that didn’t mean I could pretend to be crazy and fight back.

Halman’s chain is a powerful holy relic even though it has been corrupted.

In order to resist that power, you had to be a high-level demon, especially an evil god, to even be able to see it.

Besides, didn’t the owner beat him one-sidedly in the first place even when he was several times bigger than he is now?

Looking at the force flowing around his body, the master’s force was even stronger than before. Is this really a human? The humans I know are not creatures like this?

“Look at me rolling my eyes. It’s an order. “Fold your body.”

“Oh no, I…Kueep! “Kkugyeong!”

Halman’s chain shone brightly. The demon immediately folded itself and returned to its original size.

The height is roughly around the knee and the body is fluffy and like a lump of rice cake.

Dallen nodded in satisfaction. okay. Even when it’s this size, it tastes good.

“…….”

The devil must have read those eyes and immediately politely folded his hands and lowered his eyes.

“Let’s take education slowly. “Because I don’t have much time right now.”

Dallon said this with a grin and raised his left hand.

An object that looked like a transparent glass ball floated above his hand. It was a glass sphere with arrow-shaped needles made of blue metal.

It looks like a compass mounted on a magnet, as the needle changes direction by flickering.

‘Explorer’s Left Bank Fragment.’

Dallon smiled as he looked at the second item reward.

It certainly seemed like the more powerful the corpse was, the more likely it was to give an item.

And looking at the rewards so far, it looks like items like the flimsy steel sword were never released in the first place.

The Explorer’s Left Bank fragment released this time was also a powerful item and a type of relic.

This ability allows you to trace the location of a desired object by drawing it in your mind.

The arrow spinning inside the glass ball accurately pointed to the location of the object from the moment the artifact was activated.

It didn’t matter where the target was. Whether it was under the ground like now, or floating in the sea or sky.

Unless it was in a completely different dimension, it was impossible to avoid tracking the artifact.

‘There’s even only one constraint. ‘You must have already met the target once.’

Additionally, once activated, the ability was maintained until physical contact with the target.

This means that you can pinpoint your target in a square crowded with thousands of people, even if those thousands of people are all attending a masquerade ball.

Among magical items with tracking abilities, the Seeker’s Left Eye Fragment was a powerful item that could be counted on one hand.

In the first place, it was an ability that made no sense in that it did not require the other person’s consent or any prior preparation.

‘It’s also the item I need the most right now.’

All Dallen knew was the path to the tomb.

It wasn’t that difficult as long as you followed the signs engraved here and there as the archaeologist advised.

But the way out was a different story. All he learned was the sign indicating the burial chamber.

The writing of the Sandwind Dynasty was all hieroglyphs that looked like twisted earthworms. Naturally, Dallen was blind to this and could not find any meaning.

Even if there is a sign pointing to the exit, it is impossible to even read and follow it.

‘If I did something wrong, I could have been lost.’

Underground ruins were built throughout the lands of the Holy Knights.

Given its complexity and vastness, it is so complex that even the sewers of the labyrinth city cannot be overcome.

Since a sewer is a place where water flows, it is possible to roughly predict the design, but it was impossible to even use such shortcuts here.

Feeling that he had been lucky for the first time in a long time, Dallon injected some magical energy into the glass sphere.

Ugh,

Yuri Goo cried softly. Soon the needle inside started spinning like crazy.

Dallon calmly thought of Lucia.

A blond-haired, blue-eyed trainee knight.

An interrogator of the knights who will be called demon slayers in the distant future.

A hero who is good at cooking, has recently suffered less motion sickness, and is struggling with complex thoughts and emotions toward humans.

Purrrrr….

As I continue to think and concretize the image, the needle that had been spinning tightly trembles and slows down.

The needle soon stopped moving and slowly turned to point in one direction.

Direction roughly diagonally upward.

Dallen hit the devil on the altar on the back.

“let’s go.”

Since the guardian was killed, the trap would have stopped working. There was no need to rush too much.

Even in his previous life, he was proud that he was not a pathfinder. Even in these maze-like ruins, I was able to join the group in a day or two.

As he was leaving the tomb with the devil, he suddenly turned his head and stretched out his hand.

Ugh-

Then the hatchet that was thrown in the corner let out a small cry.

Parallaerack!

It flew as if it had been tied to a string and landed in his hand.

Dallen turned his back and completely left the tomb.

***

“Why the fuck isn’t it working!”

Lucia was furious. She swung her sword diagonally.

Kagagak!

A simple yet complex curve where swords intertwine.

At the end of the dance move, pushing away with force, she raised her shield and struck the opponent’s chin.

Float!

“Ugh…!”

A special-purpose paladin who floats in the air and then falls down. The hole in the dirt wall behind him was quickly repaired.

However, soon a thumping sound was heard from another direction, and a specially hired paladin squeezed in through the gap in the collapsed earthen wall.

Lucia ran straight away. Behind her, Paladin Woolston shouted.

“This thing is working!”

“Then why are these bastards still messing around!”

“The core of the curse is stronger than expected. “It’s not easy to unlock with portable equipment like this!”

Wedge-!

Something that sounded like a ballista rang out. No, that was really true.

A huge paladin, over two meters tall, held a huge harpoon gun the size of his body in his hand and fired it at the wizards.

“Then we have to do something! “You guys are engineers!”

Lucia screamed as she squeezed the sacred tattoo to its limit and released the harpoon. The paladin brothers, who were called technicians, could not do much.

All they do is fiddle around with the short dagger-shaped device and repeatedly insert and remove it from the dark crystal-shaped core.

‘Fuck.’

Lucia gritted her teeth. It was a situation where there was no answer.

I had no idea it would be like this until a few days ago.

All traps stopped working within a couple of hours after Dallen threw himself towards the collapsing ceiling.

The story was that Dallan had done something. That means there was a high probability that he was alive.

However, I couldn’t wait for him to join. This is because this operation was a race against time.

The gist of this operation is to disarm the core of the curse located deep in the sanctuary’s armory while the knight commander leads his troops in a light attack on the castle walls and attracts attention.

The main purpose of the operation was to minimize the sacrifice of the Knights.

To do so, the core of the curse had to be lifted as soon as possible before the siege intensified.

‘I was planning to organize things quickly, form a rescue team, and go to the ruins, but why is the situation going like this?’

bang-!

After deflecting the giant metal speargun wielded by the giant with his shield, he sticks out his toe and kicks the guy in the crotch.

“Ugh!”

The armor that protected important parts was dented, and I felt something cracking and breaking through my leather boots.

The large specially rented paladin rolled his eyes and collapsed.

I may not be able to act as a man properly from now on, but it’s better than dying. Lucia clicked her tongue briefly and kicked the ground again.

It was only a few hours ago that the operation was in crisis.

Everything went smoothly until we passed the ruins over four days and infiltrated the sanctuary’s armory.

The moment when he joined forces with the two wizards to neutralize several of the special forces on guard and inserted the artifact that lifts the core of the curse into the black crystal of the heart.

If the relic hadn’t overloaded and stopped working, the operation would have gone smoothly until the end.

Woolston and Heston, who were both paladins and engineers, immediately began repairing the artifact, but as they said, it was not an easy task.

And in the meantime, the troops under the vice-captain noticed the incident and stormed into the armory.

The result is this current situation.

“What a dirty leader’s dog! “How dare you come in here!”

Wow!

A special knight who breaks through the earthen wall with a sword with a split end and entangles Lucia with the sword.

Fortunately, the two wizards of the Elgaia Magic Tower did their best to build a huge earthen wall that reached up to the ceiling, so so far we only had to deal with those who broke through it.

“Not yet!”

Lucia shouted after neutralizing another special agent.

Looking at the young wizard in a cold sweat, the collapse of the barely maintained balance was a fait accompli.

“…back off!”

At that time, the elder wizard opened his eyes wide.

A hastily concluded earthen wall collapsing.

“Elle Lot!”

The blue sword light flying from beyond was blocked by huge stalactites that broke the stone floor and exploded.

“Kuh…!”

Felber Valentino is drooling and preparing to be taken prisoner again.

Flash!

However, before the hand seal could be formed, the sword light flew through the dust again and struck the old man.

Kwajangchang!

The old man’s body flies into the corner of the armory where shields and spears were lined up.

“Master!”

Amidst the disciple’s shouts and the settling dust, a paladin with a blue sword wrapped around his sword walked trotting along.

“…Everlock!”

Lucia muttered lowly. Vice-captain Everlock Glasden rounded his eyes, sparkling with blue energy.

“Lord Lucia. Did I teach you that you can call your superiors by their names like that?”

“Stop talking nonsense. “You traitor to the knights!”

“It seems like you haven’t been able to change your childhood habits even after becoming an interrogator. “I guess that means the leader’s arrangements end there.”

The vice-captain laughed. It was a silent smile, with only one corner of the mouth raised.

Lucia raised her tattered shield. The shield in the left hand faces forward. The sword in his right hand was placed at an angle on top of it.

The vice-captain’s mouth tightened slightly as he looked at the white flames on the sword and the faintly subdued light of the sacred tattoo.

“Hoo. I can see your determination to cut off the head of your beloved comrade with your own hands. Were you caught in Halman’s chains?”

“…How do you do that?”

“Devil Golakap was a pretty promising chess piece. “To give him some strength, I chose a young knight and sent him a holy sword.”

Who would have thought that a halfpun like this would be killed by a trainee knight?

In the face of the vice-captain’s muttering in a fishy tone, Lucia could no longer hold on to the strings of reason.

Quack!

The stone floor beneath my feet is cracking. The white flame on the sword burned, completely engulfing the sword body.

It was the moment when Lucia’s new model was about to be launched, emitting a sparkling eye glow like a flame.

Crackling……

A sound of thunder coming out of nowhere.

Her feet stopped.

Gurgling….

Soon the sound got louder and the vice-captain tilted his head.

“Is Interrogator Lucia only frightened by something like thunder?”

“…no.”

Lucia slowly lowered her sword.

The attitude of converting an attack that seemed like it would be launched immediately into a solid defense.

She smiled leisurely at the vice-captain as if the provocation just now was nothing.

“This isn’t just thunder.”

Rumbling –

the ground beneath my feet shook. Lucia stepped back and raised her shield.

Even Tommy Valentino and his two brothers, the Holy Knights, who had taken care of the bleeding master, turned their heads.

Cry!

Like puffy dough bursting, the ground between them and the vice-captain exploded, and flashes of light and thunder erupted from within.

Kkkkwang!

Someone’s new type that shot out from within the explosion and broke through the ceiling of the armory.

Tommy shouted as he saw a face looking down through a hole in the ceiling.

“Dallen!”

“this. “You’ve gone up one more floor.”

The warrior lands on the floor as if it was no big deal.

As he looked around, he found Lucia and waved his hand.

“It’s a little late.”

“…no. “You came at just the right time.”

Lucia laughed. At that time, a blue sword light attacked Dallan.

Kkkkwang!

He was different from Felber. There was no reason to suffer because it was a sword.

The moment it attacked, I turned around and swung my sword, and the blue sword body and sword light met and exploded in the shape of a fan.

Two powerful forces collide, and dust rises in the aftermath.

Dallen swept away the dust with his left hand. He said.

“Don’t you know that it’s bad manners to say something first while speaking?”

“…I don’t know what nonsense this is, but it’s such vulgar language that my ears will rot just by hearing it. A barbarian covets a holy sword. “You’re talking nonsense.”

If King Sejong the Great were alive, you would be a bigot. You idiot. I burst out laughing at the useless thought.

Dallen held the holy sword with both hands and lifted it over his shoulder as if to look at it.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssing….

The energy swirling from my shoulder and covering my sword body.

In front of the vice-captain’s wriggling blue eyes, he sneered.

“If you ask me, why don’t you take it?”
