Sword Pilgrim - Chapter 139

Episode 139

‘You’ve become faster than before.’

You mean you’ve grown up?

Come to think of it, while moving to the Holy Land, if I wasn’t using White Jeolhwa against those who came in, I would always use sacred art.

As if you’re not used to it.

‘Could it be that you were just learning when you used it on me?’

The development of the magic formula and the expansion of the territory have grown surprisingly.

The biggest thing is speed.

Just because the power of sacred art is low, it is absolutely not an easy study to learn.

Rather, it is because sacred art is more difficult than weapon technology.

The sacred art that Serana knew was not originally this powerful.

And it was not something that could be developed unconditionally like that.

Sacred arts require a price.

It is common sense that you need a noble object that has divinity or you need a weapon.

However, this is not the case with Colliers.

that too.

‘Is it because it’s a dragon? Or is it because they have demonic powers?’

Serena didn’t know.

It was only a premonition that the gradually growing sacred arts of Colius would become more powerful.

“master.”

There is no hesitation in the steps of Colius walking in the dark.

But Serena had to ask.

I had no choice but to ask.

The road they walk on is the first floor.

Of course, if it was right to go up to the second floor, Colius was going down.

Going down and down the endless stairs.

“Tell me.”

“Wasn’t it going up?”

tall.

Colliers stopped walking.

Naturally, Serena, who followed her down the stairs, also stopped.

“Tower of the Holy Land. It is safe to say that Agatodo exists for the growth of pilgrims. From the 1st floor to the 10th floor, the view is limited. It’s a kind of training that amplifies the senses through the limitation of hearing.”

Back down the stairs, the footsteps continue, and the calm and firm voice of Callius resonates underground.

“If you break through the owner of the 10th floor, everything related to Ki is disallowed from the 11th floor. It is training to grow the body.”

The 30th floor is tiled.

The 40th floor is planted, and the 50th floor is planted.

And the 60th floor exists for transcendence.

Up to the 66th floor, it is safe to say that it is a deepening process of transcendence.

It is a place where you can train comfortably.

That is why it is called a holy place, and pilgrims want to climb it even with all their property.

If he knew this in detail, why did he go down instead of up?

Serena was puzzled.

‘How do you know so much detail? Besides, this underground passage…’

How else did he know?

The more he knew, the more curious he was.

“But why…”

“Why aren’t you climbing?”

“yes.”

“I have no money.”

“…yes?”

* * *

“This is the Holy Land…”

A young man with blond hair fluttering.

Lutheon’s blue eyes focused on the Sahara Holy Land.

red desert.

sunlight beating down.

A black spire stood tall there.

A tower that does not fall as if it were about to fall.

Agato too.

The symbol of the Dragon Demon War.

great human achievement.

“Hey Luteon.”

There was a voice that broke the thoughts of Lutheon, who was deeply moved by it.

“Yes, Her Highness the Princess.”

“Is this right?”

Princess and Princess.

They were following behind Lutheon.

The princess was just in awe, and the princess wrinkled her face as if she was annoyed.

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s impossible to kill in the Holy Land anyway, so is it right to chase you all the way here?”

I went after Colliers.

However, they crossed the border and came to the Holy Land, but it is impossible to kill in the Holy Land.

It is a long-standing tradition.

It was something that the princess of the empire should not wake up from, and it was no different from insulting the ancestors who made peace.

Besides, if he committed killing, the owners of Agatodo would come rushing in, so it was something he should never have done.

“It’s not okay to kill, but anything else is.”

Killing is forbidden in the Holy Land.

However, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem if it was a quiet kidnapping.

Dalian is the sacred place of the Sahara, where it often happens.

furthermore.

“I came of my own will. What is the intention of asking me when the princess said she would follow me?”

“…”

To be honest, the princess didn’t like Luteon. Is it just that I have no luck?

If he had said that he had a flying artifact in the first place, he wouldn’t have missed it so vainly.

‘Although he pretends not to know.’

The guy probably knew.

He must have planned such a thing because he wanted to fight a duel alone and win.

In any case, the princess was arguing with Luteon for nothing, saying that he was a fool.

Someone who sincerely treats Lutheon, who was originally a defector.

There will only be a saintess.

‘bouncer.’

How many people would dare to speak with a stiff head that way against the imperial princess?

Not even the one who became the spear of the empire.

The princess clicked her tongue.

“I can’t come all the way here and go back without seeing his face.”

“that’s right. I want to see you again too. I didn’t know that the bird in the night sky was him. I also want to fly in the sky later…”

The princess, who made the princess shut up, ignored Luteon and pursued him.

“Are there any pilgrims who entered this place?”

“Dozens of people come in every day. Do you have a clue?”

“I was with a woman.”

“Then I remember. Since you went in a few hours ago and didn’t come out, I think you must have broken through the third floor.”

3rd Floor.

Luteon and the princesses headed straight for the tower. More than he climbed up.

Of course, they also thought that they had to catch up by climbing the tower.

It was also the desire to win.

“Do you want to come in?”

“yes. He’s gone, so there’s no reason I can’t go.”

Sigh.

Lutheon’s steps toward the tower stopped in the thick darkness.

[Welcome to the challenger.]

The tower’s voice began to be heard.

[The trial begins.]

At the same time as the dolls move.

Lutheon’s spear spewed fire.

Aaaaaaang!!

I left the dolls I had swept away in one blow and went straight up to the second floor.

‘I must go up faster than him.’

Only then will I be able to stretch my legs and fall asleep.

* * *

“Hmm.”

top of the tower.

The woman who had been sitting on the top and feeling everything in the world opened her eyes.

“This is my first time seeing a guy like that.”

There are many who climb the tower.

Because Agatodo was originally such a place.

Climb up, rise up, transcend limits.

So if you climbed all the towers.

It makes sense to go back down.

Even the sun in the sky will eventually become the moon.

If you reach the top, go down again.

But it won’t be on the ground.

That is the fate of those who climbed the tower.

“I didn’t know that a kid who never climbed the tower would go underground.”

A place where even transcendentalists find it difficult to endure.

Those who have not even reached the lower floors of the tower are descending to a place called hell because not even a handful of light can reach it.

Is this also God’s will?

Or do you mean the top?

“O depraved weeping. I think I will get rid of boredom after a long time.”

with subtle doubts.

A woman at the top.

One of the Saints of the Order of Balterus.

Orbire closed his eyes again.

* * *

Damp and dark basement stairs.

Callius was still talking to Serena.

“I have no money.”

“…yes?”

There is no cost involved in challenging the floor. However, when defeated by the floor master, a lot of things are taken away.

‘It’s just a setting to maintain the tower.’

Tower managers also need money.

It takes an astronomical amount of money to manage and maintain the floor.

So they rip off the challengers.

And Colliers had no money.

Rather than lack of money, there was no Holy Stone.

Of course, it would be possible to exchange a lot of holy stones by selling just a few of them, but Colius didn’t want to do that.

In the first place, they were all things that had a use, so they couldn’t be disposed of carelessly.

Except for the artifacts that Colius was using, most of the items in his possession were not worth much even if he sold them.

The Imperial Knight’s Spear or the Duchy’s Mace.

And the beast’s skin, horns, etc.

Most of the items were too expensive to sell.

‘Except for that…’

< Vivi's Bracelet > < Reversal Cloak > < Humasis' Saddle > < Retetti's Ring > < The Broken Sword of the Forgotten God > < The Lord's Banner > < The Chalice of the Defeated God > < keel > and so on.

‘There were also goblin gold coins.’

But these cannot be sold.

< Vivi's Bracelet > was a gift from Cedric, and it’s a pity to sell it because it’s useful in many ways.

The same goes for < Cloak of Reversal >.

< Humasis' Saddle > and < Letetti's Ring > are also like that.

‘The < Broken Sword of a Forgotten God > and the < Lord's Banner > can still be used two more times.’

I don’t know what < The Chalice of a Defeated God > is, but I feel like I shouldn’t sell it.

< Keel > is the same.

[Constitution] When the yonggol fully absorbs dragon power.

I can’t sell it because I think it can absorb the dragon power sleeping in < Kelin >.

Besides, it’s a real dragon bone, not a mixed dragon like a baboon.

It was difficult to find now, so of course I couldn’t sell it.

“Of course, it’s a superficial reason.”

It was a secondary reason.

tall.

“Serena.”

“yes.”

“You go up.”

“yes? Why suddenly…”

“You better go up now. Climbing Agatodo is for pilgrims.”

The wooden dolls are more threatening as they face upward, but they do not carry weapons.

Even if you get beaten up a little, the risk of dying is small for Agato.

Of course, that’s the story when it went up.

“You could die down here.”

But the basement of the tower is different.

If the ground is normal and hard.

Underground has [Hell] difficulty.

You won’t die if you do something wrong.

If you screw up once, you die.

Agatodo, which has a total of 66 floors, has a secret floor that no one knows about.

66th floor above the ground. 6th basement floor.

six hundred sixty six.

666 is the number of corruption.

Yes.

At the end of this basement is the one who occupied the last seat among the 666 fallen people.

Fallen but not fallen.

The weakest of the 666 Corruptors.

However, the strongest corruptor.

< Sorrowful Fall > Titeo.

He is a fall that mourns death.

“So I’ll go alone from here.”

Colius’ stern declaration.

Serena couldn’t take a step back.

“But…”

He hesitated.

When he got down, he looked so precarious. He was holding his heart, but a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

For some reason, I wanted to follow him.

Because he looked so anxious.

but.

“It’s too early for you.”

Serena couldn’t say anything at the stern words of Callius.

“…”

“Your head will hurt the further you go down. The headaches are getting worse and you will not be able to distinguish between friends and foes. After that, you will lose yourself and get lost.”

The further you go underground, the more various mental attacks are laid down.

It is impossible for Serena, who, unlike herself, does not have the mental attack immunity artifact.

“All right. Please be safe.”

Seeing Serena go up again, Callius descended the stairs.

Many thoughts ran through my head.

Realize it all over again

And I regret it all over again.

However, regret soon unites into a decision.

snap.

The wet floor touched my feet.

The stairs that seemed to continue endlessly are no longer there.

What hangs is a huge door. Intaglios embodying dragons, demons, and humans in between were engraved.

I raised my hand, guessing the age of the door that was made a thousand years ago.

cooong.

Woo woo woo woo.

I just touched it, but the huge door opened by itself as if it had been waiting for him.

pod.

In an instant, an intense light lingered in the eyes of Callius, who was dragged through the door.

When I rub my tingling eyes and open my eyes again.

He felt that the world had changed.

“This is… ugh!”

someone grabs the collar

Then he lifted it up violently and shouted.

“hey! Titeo! You stupid bastard! Get your mind right now!! Come to your senses!”

Whoops!

The strong force of the slap on the cheek brought Colius to his senses.

At the same time as the urgent cry of the knight waking him up.

Kwaaaaang!!

Several roars were heard simultaneously and piles of dirt scattered here and there.

‘Battlefield.’

The place where he stands is the battlefield.

Dragons and demons. And the human battlefield.

In the middle of the Dragon Demon War.

He is a knight with a sword.

It was Titeo.

Titeo before weeping.
