Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 131

EP.131 Slanted Ceiling and Mountains of Laughing Corpses – 3

“…I thought that might be the case. Was it related to Seonghwangcheong?”

Animosity flashes briefly in Tyr’s eyes as he gazes at the regressor. It is reflexive hostility.

Indeed, disgust and hostility like an instinct that is pierced by blood and engraved into bones rises up in a lump.

If Tyr had still had his heart stopped, he might have joined forces with Jiseon to attack the regressor. but.

“…For something like that, it was pure. what?”

It’s been a long time. There are many things that have been shown.

Until now, he had never felt hostility or contempt from the regressor. I just laughed at the clumsy intimacy.

3 months. For Tyr, it was a fleeting moment, but it was an impressive enough experience for her as her heart started beating anew.

So Tyr decided not to get involved in that fight.

Look, regressor.

I know what you were worried about, but you didn’t intervene.

The Undead, who had just landed in a sea of blood with Khalis, muttered as he felt the raging wind.

“hmm! I thought it had something to do with the heavenly gods because it uses the power of the sky, such as wind and clouds!”

“The powers of Seonghwangcheong do not belong to the heavenly gods. The heavenly gods did not bestow any power on humans.”

There was such confidence in Tyr’s words, who had bumped into Seonghwangcheong more than anyone else in his life. Tyr said as he pursued the invisible sword with bloody eyes.

“They claim to be followers of the Celestial God, but they hold the first saint more than God. After that, all those who were called saints were called prophets or other names of prophets.”

“what? Come to think of it, yes! Then isn’t it rather great? You mean you made this much of a castle without the power of a god!”

“The power of a clock figure that sees through time and the world is even more absurd. Exciting cowardly people…”

Tyr muttered with obvious contempt, as if the sediment was still there even after his heart raced.

“Anyway, Shay can’t be a seer. After the first saintess was nailed to the cross, the saintess can only become a woman. If you weren’t faking your gender… if not…?”

It was when Tyr tilted his head at the sudden thought.

“Grrrr!”

Aji, clinging to the support pole like a bat, barked furiously. To Aji, who has an instinctive revulsion to human corpses, the entire land will look like a minefield.

It’s already a corpse, so it won’t be much of a problem if you step on it or break it, but you won’t have to bother bringing it down if you don’t like it.

“okay. you stay there If you don’t like it, don’t come down…

”

But Aji wasn’t just barking because he hated the corpse.

Something stirred among the corpses. Sensing motion, one of the searchlights moved quickly to illuminate it.

Thanks to this, I could clearly see the baggyly dressed corpse getting up on its knees.

Of course, I wasn’t very grateful.

Death is the cessation of life and an involuntary act that blurs the boundary with the world.

Therefore, the corpse that has died and returned to the world must not be able to move on its own. That’s how you gnaw away your skin and become one with the world.

That is to say, that corpse now staggering up is doing something that is absolutely not recommended as a corpse.

“You’re sick, really.”

When I saw a corpse that had done ‘rising again’, the number one action I shouldn’t do in a grave, I grimaced.

“Is it a remnant? Well, if there are 300,000, it wouldn’t be strange to have one or two ghosts.”

Tyr didn’t care.

This is the reason why mother-in-law faith and burial people are needed, and the reason why she once enjoyed a holy life.

Occasionally, a dead body would harbor residual thoughts, which would move or transform the dead body. It could be said that it is a primitive body-mediated magic exercised right before death.

Of course, the majority of them were exterminated as they were, because residual thoughts could not be stronger than those of living humans. Still, it was very unpleasant and inconvenient to get rid of another moving corpse anyway, so people would ask for a burial by paying a price to the burial person.

In the ground, where no living person could come out, the residual thoughts only fluttered for a moment and then disappeared.

“It is trivial. wait a moment.”

Of course, it was insignificant to Tirkanjaka, the founder of the world’s worst spirited soul, who was buried without dying and then appeared in the world with a body closest to that of a corpse.

“There’s no need to use my own power.”

Tyr waved his hand.

A blurry shape flashed in the darkness. At that moment, a black sword appeared as it tore open the belly of the corpse that had been haunted by ghosts.

It was a black knight.

After the black knight pulled out his sword and kicked the hamstrings, the corpse fell to its knees. The black knight blew off the corpse’s head. The blown head disappeared within the reach of the searchlight.

I clapped my hands at the Black Knight’s performance.

“and! Black Knight! It’s season 1 activity! I can get rid of the stigma of being a paycheck thief on the combat power meter!”

“…Anyway, the black knight would lose to a ghost or something like that.”

Come to think of it, the black knight is also a kind of ghost. The thoughts of the knights killed by Tyr. So when I thought that a knight would be stronger than a single soldier…

Something like a jaw grabbed the black knight’s ankle. The black knight pointed his pitch-black helm down and fell as the hand snatched his foot.

A number of hands appeared above it. Like a swarm of ants, the fingers crawling over the body of the black knight plucked, pinched, and scratched the darkness. The black knight, who struggled with his entire body restrained, was torn apart and turned into powder.

Under the light of the searchlight, only hands were full.

When everyone was speechless for a while. With a cold face, I reversed what I said earlier.

“cancellation. Disappearing after processing 1 ball is quite a shabby record for a knight. From now on, how about a black knight instead of a black knight? No, the ‘black’ character looks too strong, so we call it an earthworm instead.”

“Is this the time for puns? stick by my side for now It’s not dangerous, but something is unusual.”

As if to add to Tyr’s words, an alarm sounded throughout Tantalus.

Why-.

A sharp, artificially created noise pierced my ears.

The searchlight gave up further pursuit. There were too many human figures for that, and not one or two moving objects.

Instead, the searchlight grew in size while crying bitterly. The light that had been sharp like an arrow spread, and at the same time, light rose from the rim of Tantalus.

I thought there was only one daytime light, but that must have been my mistake. The small lights hidden in the rim of Tantalus came out all at once. If you look at each one, it’s a much darker light than a daylight.

When the lights rising from the rim were turned on all at once, dazzling light appeared throughout the bottomless pit.

Shadowless light from light sources surrounding the low ceiling.

Thanks to this, the mountain of corpses was now clearly visible.

A mountain of clothes, flesh, arms, legs, and the occasional head. The sight of human beings with round curves piled up to form a round ridge was no longer terrifying, and felt nothing but unpleasantness, like looking at a low-quality artwork.

Even after feeling the discomfort, an even more horrific scene appeared before my eyes.

A sea of filthy blood.

Along the coastline of the Sea of Blood, corpses dressed in loose clothes began to rise all at once.

A vengeful soul on a scale worthy of being called an army. In front of that, Tyr showed a nervous expression.

“…It’s bright. Shadows are hard to deal with. instead.”

Crackling blood welled up at her call.

Although blood flow is not well expressed outside the body after the heart beats, it can handle blood that is so close.

Tyr said while floating a bright red orb in the air.

“Stay by my side, phew.”

And when he snapped his fingers, a fan-shaped wave of blood swept away the corpse in one fell swoop. The corpse with the ghost did not even leave a trace of its existence.

Still, Tyr couldn’t relax.

Because she wasn’t afraid of the ghostly corpse, but because she was afraid that I might get hurt.

“I will definitely protect you.”

it’s so reassuring I raised my thumb and shouted.

“A black rose is better than a black knight, no, better than a mudman!”

“You really seem to have no tension at all!”

On the other side, Khalis and the Undead were fighting a corpse possessed by a ghost. The Undead swung his fists in succession, and each time the corpses crumbled or flew into the sky.

However, the compatibility was not good. It is said that the undead do not get tired, but he only has two hands. Even if he sometimes removed three corpses with one punch, he had no choice but to be pushed out as dozens more gathered in the gap.

If there are people to protect there, you have no choice but to be more passive. The Undead cried out.

“Callis! stick with me! Never let go!”

“no! I will join the fight too!”

“What about the wounded participating in the war! Don’t worry, I’m not tired! They’re no more than a fistful away!”

Callis then shouted out of nowhere.

“idiot! It was all smoke! Gradually pay attention!”

“What?”

The amount of time the Undead hesitated became the approaching distance of the corpses. Kalis bites her lip and inserts the military equipment packet into the biometric device.

“Call to Arms!”

clap clap clap.

A steel gauntlet wrapped around the left arm with alchemy light. Khalis, who was wearing military equipment, threw a fist at the corpse that just approached. The bones of Kwajik’s corpse shattered and teeth protruded. Khalis snatched the teeth with her right hand and quickly inserted them into the grooves on the backs of her gauntlets.

And he pointed at it and shouted.

“Set Li Li Li Pascal Gun!!”

A groove that should normally emit steam. But instead, the compressed air pushes the teeth violently.

Tuung.

some kind of blower. The darting teeth hit the head of the approaching corpse. The corpse’s neck was slightly bent backwards with a loud bang.

But that’s it. The body walked back as if nothing had happened.

“Kuh! Out of spec! Not enough weight…!”

“It’s a tooth, isn’t it?”

“Because he has been dead for a long time, his teeth are soft and he has no alchemy resistance! then!”

‘Simple Alchemy!’

Khalis clenched and opened his right fist, and alchemy-transformed teeth appeared. The shape and size were different, but the thickness was the same.

Callis inserted her perfectly sized teeth into the grooves and fired. Hoo-wook. That little wind noise than before.

“case!”

The teeth pierced the right ankle of the approaching corpse. The approaching corpse lost balance in its ankles and collapsed.

“I will assist!”

“Uh hmm. Don’t overdo it?”

So far it hasn’t shined in the midst of monsters, but the prepared officer is a precisely engineered war machine. If you don’t do this, the military will be in trouble.

of course.

no matter how

“The Sky Sword Thunderbird!”

“O Mother Goddess!”

I wouldn’t compare it to that, though.

flash

Lightning strikes. The bright yellow lightning that started from the cherry blossom falls toward Jiseon.

However, Ji-sun avoided the thunderbolt by lowering her body and running. The speed was slower than that of lightning, but the lightning could not track the branch line that became one with the earth.

thud. When Ji-seon stamped her foot, vibrations ran through the corpse. They spread like ripples and converged at the feet of the regressor, and soon the corpse exploded and rose up at that point.

A corpse flew towards the regressor at a speed similar to that of a shot put. Is it a coincidence or intentional? The spinning arm aimed precisely at the regressor’s side. The regressor lifted his body lightly, stepped on the corpse lightly, and leaped once more.

‘Chit. Have you already adapted to the land of corpses? I thought I would have an advantage since there was no ground under my feet…!’

“Did you think that this land would be advantageous since it is not a land made of soil and rocks?”

Jiseon saw through the thoughts of the regressor.

“Earth is originally the body of the Earth Mother. Even if there is a small thing below, it all comes from the earth. The small man does not distinguish the land!”

“You’re really good…!”

The grumbling regressor landed on the inverted ceiling. The qigong that reached the stage allowed her light body to walk as if on the ground even on a slanted ceiling.

Jiseon could do something similar, but he wouldn’t be as agile as the regressor. More than anything else, you can only use Earth Sorcery by stepping on the ground… It

didn’t take long to realize that it was a misunderstanding.

“There is no sky in this land. Just because the huge earth has become a ceiling, I won’t be on your side!”

Saying sternly, Ji-sun put her finger in the air. Tendons sprouted at the tips of the fingers.

From the looks of it, you would have guessed that she was miming. It was a sign of exerting strength in empty space.

But that wasn’t mime. Mime is pretending to exist when in reality it does not exist.

“Rage!”

Because Jiseon’s power was actually being displayed.

A hand swings as if holding something. At the same time, the concrete ground on the ceiling was cut off in a grid pattern, and square blocks attacked the regressors. The earth obeys her will even though her feet have not touched it.

‘This much without Jizan!’

Should I say it rose upside down or fell?

In any case, the squarely polished solid concrete brushed past the regressor. Even though she hurriedly evaded a direct hit, the shock ran through her body.

“Cheet…!”

It’s not safe anywhere you set foot. A regressor sitting far away, breathing heavily.

On the other hand, Ji-seon walked the same way he did when he first set foot.

“Your pulse is draining, great warrior. Is it lack of ability or lack of hostility? Why do you block the path of a small person without having one of the two? sense of duty? Or is this the only way to the future you want?”

Jiseon looked at the regressor with deeply sunken eyes.

“If you are not going to fight, please get out of the way. A small person doesn’t want to fight someone who has no enemies.”

the regressor replied.

“…They you will encounter will not be hostile either.”

“They will know how to avoid them. The small cause is only to ask for guilt. They should be fully exposed and apologize for the vices they have hidden.”

“I won’t get out of the way. They must also have a sense of duty to protect the holy land. Just like you.”

A conflict between a sense of mission and a sense of mission. Wouldn’t another name for it be pure tragedy without good or evil?

Even when there was no regressor, he said it somehow with such a meaning.

Ji-sun frowned for a moment, but her worries were short-lived. The conclusion had already been reached within her.

“…Then I’ll just clean it up and go.”

“So you don’t want me to go. You… yes. because you won’t fall Even if it knocks everyone else down.”

That was the mission of the regressors to protect the future. The regressor raised his sword again. As if he had made up his mind, not a single tip of his sword trembled.

Ji-seon, who looked at the opponent with dry eyes, calmly declared her emotions in order.

“The small man will go up there and grab the remains of Grand Master. This is as natural as a rolling rock, so be prepared to stand in front of it.”

A remark clearly aimed at a regressor. It was a kind but firm declaration to make a decision rather than to show an ambiguous attitude.

“It can’t be stopped without breaking it.”

Those who did not fall so climbed the mountain of corpses.

straight to the top.
