History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 379
379fury. How to face fate (1)
- they…….
Sir Geolexius' mouth opened..
slowly.
carefully.
However, as if it were a solid fact.
- Lloyd, you, my lord, have become entangled in the flow of cause and effect without your knowledge..
“I'm entangled?”
- Yes, my lord..
Hell Knight continued..
- First of all, it was said that Rupelan was executed by the lord and Lord Asrahan. He must have believed that. But the reality was different. Because the physical life was lost, but the soul wandered around the nine heavens..
“No way, a ghost?”
- Yes, my lord. This is probably because the obsession and obsession with life was so strong that it went beyond imagination..
“…….”
Lloyd was silent..
Warlock Rupelan.
I remembered the situation a few years ago when I punished that guy..
obsession with life.
I definitely think so..
It was different from the reaction of ordinary people who do not want to die..
He said that if he died, he would not be able to resurrect his dead wife and children..
So I have to survive somehow.
We need to continue researching black magic further..
It was that kind of obsession..
‘Tsk. It's funny, very. Is it okay to sacrifice other people in order to save your already dead family members? Even now that I think about it, that guy is funny..’
Thinking about it made me uncomfortable.
I also didn't like the fact that this guy had an unusual obsession with life..
‘Only your position is important. If you die, what happens to your wife and children? Is that a special obsession only for Ji? The heads of families in Korea will laugh when they hear this. There are already so many people who work hard every day, determined to have their spouse and children on their shoulders, to feed them and take responsibility for them..’
I couldn't help but snort.
Meanwhile, the story of Lord Georexius continued..
- Anyway, he became a ghost thanks to his extraordinary obsession. He did not cross over to hell, but hovered around the nine heavens. If you think about it, it wasn't that special. Such ghosts are not rare creatures. But the problem is…….
“the problem is?”
- The point was that he was a ghost who kept his considerable knowledge of black magic intact..
“Hmm. no way.”
- Do you have a rough guess??
“uh. I thought it would be said that he found the right vessel..”
- That's right, my lord..
Sir Georexius nodded..
- Rupelan, his ghost wandered the Nine Heavens, contemplating how to be revived. I had the obsession and the knowledge, so all I had to do was find the right vessel. And I finally found it.
“……Tsk. That sounds like it was Lord Neumann..”
- yes, that's right.
“What happened?”
- That was purely coincidental. Or maybe it was a strange pull of fate. In any case, Lord Neumann, who was exiled by the lord, was incapacitated with his entire body broken. Aside from the aftereffects of not being able to even eat food on his own, his mind was completely crushed and he became an idiot. Every day, I muttered the same words in my dazed consciousness. I'm going to kill Lloyd Frontera. Or he would rather be killed. Then, I encountered Rupelan's ghost..
“…….”
Lloyd's appetite was sore..
It was a bad coincidence, it was fate..
In particular, the most unpleasant thing was that the two men, Ruppelan and Neumann, must have had a common grudge against him..
Sir Geolexius continued his explanation..
- It was an encounter between the ghost of a warlock who lost his body and an exiled knight who only had his body left. Soon the two realized. That each person harbors a grudge against the same object..
“So, we combined them together.?”
- To be precise, Rupelan destroyed Neumann's soul and took away his body..
“Tsk. He's a warlock.”
- It was like that. The actions after that were also like that..
“What did you do?.”
- Even after inhabiting Neumann's body, he did not show any signs of it. Still acting like I was crazy, I was looked after by Neumann's family and prepared little by little. The black magic that will move your broken body..
“hey. no way.”
- Did you guess again??
“uh. This is a bit of a terrible guess. Could it be that Lord Neumann's family was sacrificed... … that's right?”
- Unfortunately, your guess is correct..
“…….”
Lloyd was speechless..
Hell Knight calmly conveyed only the facts..
- On the night of the first old moon after gaining a new body, Rupelan used the black magic he had secretly prepared with great effort. He summoned the demons of hell and sacrificed Neumann's family. The shikigwi enjoyed a cruel feast, and in return gave Rupelan some health as a gift. So much so that I can walk with a limp. It was from then on..
Cruel truths revealed one by one.
The cold bottoms revealed between them.
- Once he was able to move his body on his own, he modified himself little by little. He mobilized all his knowledge of black magic. And he finally reached the pinnacle of black magic body modification. I became a lich.
“Tsk.”
Lloyd, who had heard that far, clicked his tongue..
I knew full well what a lychee was..
This was because it was mentioned in the novel The Knight of Iron Blood..
‘The warlock abandoned his humanity and vitality and became undead. Should I call him an undead archmage? Even if his body dies, he can be resurrected endlessly, and his magic power has no limits..’
Compared to strength?
It was comparable to Hell Knight..
But the warlock who was executed by this side became something like that..
Just thinking about it made my head hurt..
On the other hand, I also had doubts..
“by the way. I guess he said that because there was some connection between him becoming a lich after all the twists and turns and what the King of Hell was planning to do in the future.?”
- of course.
Sir Georexius' eyes brightened even more..
- Even after becoming a lich, Rupelan did not forget his purpose. His purpose is only one. You, Lloyd Frontera, took revenge on your master..
“Bringing back the family?”
- Since I lost a lot of my humanity when I became a lich, I think most of my love for my family has also disappeared..
“So, in the end, only a lot of resentment towards me remained.?”
- yes. So I chose the surest method of revenge..
“what is that.”
- He used up all of his magical power and made a request to the King of Hell. Open the Hell Gate and send reinforcements..
“Hellgate? reinforcements?”
- yes. Open the Hell Gate in Frontera territory and send reinforcements to wipe it out..
“…….”
Lloyd kept his mouth shut..
This was because goosebumps appeared all over my body..
I could finally feel it properly.
‘Warlock Rupelan, he planned it right..’
I had a rough guess..
The guy who became a lich may have been spying on the Prontera territory..
You would have realized it at the end.
‘Even if he became a lich, he probably thought there was a chance of defeat. Of course. Because there is Javiel. No, even if Javiel is emptying the territory with me, there is the dragon Solitas. Recently, Raphael, the lower angel, also became a spiritual eater. There is also the Dragon King Berkis in the guest room..’
If you think about it, it was a power that could not even be dared to be compared with something like Rich(?)..
Maybe that's why.
Requesting support from the King of Hell.
“So, what about the King of Hell? He readily accepted the request.?”
- yes. Because there was no reason to refuse..
Sir Georexius said as if it were obvious..
- As you know, the King of Hell already wants to kill his lord. They want to kill it and keep it by their side. But the master overcomes the danger of death every time. That fact must have gotten on the King of Hell's nerves..
“But in the meantime, a lich on the ground sent a large-scale request for support.?”
- yes. As the King of Hell, this was something to welcome. According to the regulations of hell, the king of hell cannot personally send legions of hell to earth for his personal purposes..
“I guess so. From the King of Hell's point of view, it must have been a grateful request that scratched an itch. Thanks to that request, we were able to send the hell army to the ground..”
- That is correct. The King of Hell now has an appropriate justification for sending troops..
“That's right. Apparently, troops are not being dispatched for personal purposes. Because we are sending an army in response to a request from a lich on the ground... … . Ugh. Whoa.”
Lloyd took a deep breath..
Now I feel like I really know how things work..
I also understood why the warlock I dealt with a long time ago became entangled with the King of Hell..
‘If you think about it, this could also be a large-scale trigger event. This is the new version of the fate restoration phenomenon..’
Suddenly, the contents of an article in the novel Iron Blood came to mind..
The warlock Rupelan was originally a villain who appeared in the middle and latter half of the novel..
Powerful yet evil black magic.
obsession with human resurrection.
He was the one who used that as a driving force to sacrifice countless lives through biological experiments..
Not only that, he was a tremendous massacre who destroyed several cities..
But here?
‘Before I could improve my skills, I and Javiel got caught..’
So he died much earlier than in the original..
I couldn't even make a fuss properly..
I thought it was fortunate.
It means nipping the bud of disaster in advance..
Just like in the original, he saved many people who were about to be massacred..
I was proud of myself.
But now that I see it?
‘Even my actions had the result of twisting the original story. So that damn phenomenon of restoration of fate even affected Rupelan's fate..’
Rupelan, a warlock who died much earlier than in the original work..
But the strange pull of fate brought him back to life..
Made entirely of lychee.
So, a massacre similar to the original will occur..
‘In the original, he was a high-ranking warlock, but now he has become a lich. The place where the massacre occurred was changed to the Frontera territory. The army of ghouls and zombies he summoned in the original has now turned into an army of hell..’
Although the fine details were quite different,.
The large form was not much different from the original content..
No, if you think about it, it was worse than the original in terms of scale and horror..
‘Moreover, what if the Frontera territory is invaded and wiped out in a fire? What if everyone dies? Perhaps that will bring the fate restoration phenomenon very close to the desired result..’
When I thought about it, it was like that..
restoration of fate.
That damned incomplete reset had been wanting the Count and Duchess dead all along. Julien, Miss Serazade, the Sultan and Lady Namaran all wanted an end to those who died in the novel..
‘So, if you think about it, the invasion of Frontera territory is very suitable for the restoration of fate phenomenon. I am returning the fate, cause and effect, and history of many people who changed because of me to closer to their original positions..’
The more I thought about it, the more I got goosebumps..
It's a phenomenon of restoration of fate..
I thought he was more meticulous and persistent than I imagined..
On the one hand, my vision became dark and hopeless..
Suddenly, something the King of Hell recently said came to mind..
‘It was said that the more you stop the restoration of fate phenomenon, the bigger it will become. Endless like waves. It's going to get bigger and bigger and more unbearable..’
But can you stop it?.
How long can you last?.
As if we were certain of death on this side..
The image of the King of Hell smiling like that came to mind..
Crackling.
Lloyd ground his teeth..
‘But do you think I’ll just give up because of that?.’
You can't do that..
That can never happen..
‘How have I lived so far?!’
I had really crawled all the way up here..
In the corner of a gosiwon full of musty yellow wallpaper in Korea.
After living as a rural aristocrat buried in debt,.
Drinking dust countless times.
Carrying out numerous construction projects.
Accumulating merit to the royal family.
Finally recognized as a public servant.
The only thing left to do was to keep my back warm and my stomach full..
The leisurely, unemployed life of a building owner, which I had longed for and dreamed of all my life, was right before my eyes..
‘So I just need to solve this one thing..’
Then you can live with a pot of honey..
You can live your whole life sucking only honey..
But this last wave looked so, so breathtakingly huge..
Moreover, even if we block this and get over it,?
I couldn't even imagine how much more terrible and huge the next wave would be..
Lloyd naturally concluded:.
‘We have to settle the score this time..’
somehow.
do whatever it takes.
I felt like I had to settle everything this time..
‘The scale of the incident is already growing to the point where it is difficult to handle. This invasion of Prontera territory? If you roll really hard, you might be able to block it. But what about the next version of the fate restoration phenomenon? Honestly, I'm not confident. So we have to see the end this time.’
The cycle of fate that relentlessly rushes at me.
The greed that borders on the obsession of the King of Hell.
I came to the conclusion that I should cut it this time, in one cue..
Otherwise, I felt like things would come flooding in that I couldn't handle next time..
But that's why Lloyd didn't give up hope..
Think about what you can expect.
Think about the things you can mobilize.
Measure the angle this way.
Looking for hope over there.
I searched for countless ways and tricks..
After numerous calculations.
Repeating the breathless weighing.
In front of the solution that was finally found.
“under.”
Lloyd grinned..
and finally.
He looked back at Javiel and Lord Georexius and blurted out a word..
“Well, it's easy.”
