1.
King of the Giants, Largtan.
Sitting on a large throne, he stared intently at Arena Rudric, who was prostrated in front of him..
Then he licked his lips.
【I'll ask. Apostle of Jim.】
Blue eyes that shine brightly even in pitch black darkness. At that cold gaze, Arena involuntarily made her shoulders tremble..
【How far has the excavation progressed??】
As soon as the word “excavation” was finished, Arena’s eyes twinkled. It was because I came here to report this..
“yes! According to reports, about half of the pagodas have been excavated at present, and the excavation of the remaining pagodas will be completed soon.!”
Immediately after becoming an apostle of Largtan.
The first order Arena received was to find 'towers' scattered throughout the desert..
The seven towers Largtan spoke of were buried deep beneath the sands of the desert, a completely unknown tower..
‘but it doesn't really matter.’
The important thing is that Largtan ordered to find the tower. In response, Arena mobilized all his strength to obey his orders..
It was natural. Because the reason she was able to become the new leader of the Desert Church was because of her cooperation with Largtan..
【If so, the seal?】
Then Largtan spoke again..
The sealed box refers to a small box stored on the top floor of the aforementioned tower..
And this box was the fundamental reason why Largtan was looking for the tower. That's why Arena responded wholeheartedly this time as well..
“Currently, three boxes are secured, and exploration is underway in the excavated tower, so the fourth will arrive soon..”
After Arena's report, Largtan's expressionless face cracked..
【excellent. Apostle of Jim.】
Mouth torn up thinly.
It was a very satisfying smile..
【Is there any other help you need??】
“It's already Hahai's house with just what the owner has given me so far..”
Arena, who shook his head as if it was not right, bowed his head politely over and over again..
“Thanks to the king's rare magic beast, our church was able to leave the barren desert and migrate to fertile land..”
Besides making Arena the new head of the church, Largtan helped in various ways..
One of them is the ability to command the monsters that exist beyond the abyss..
Thanks to this, Arena has been able to see the world outside the desert that they have been dreaming of..
【is it. i get it. Even if you don't need it right now, if you ever need Jim's help, feel free to tell me..】
“yes thanks for the king's grace.”
A smile spread across Arena's face..
It was with a thrilling expression.
some time after that.
Arena turned and left the basement. The floor of the temple, which had been moving like an elevator, headed toward the ground, and the cavity was once again filled with darkness..
a darkly stained hall.
In the meantime, the voice of Largtan, who suddenly opened his lips, broke the still silence..
【―Albaric.】
calling someone's name.
After a while, someone appeared from behind the throne with thumping footsteps..
Giants armed with axes and shields.
It was a little smaller than Largtan, but still had a fairly large physique among the giants..
【Did you call, my king?.】
Albaric prostrates himself before the throne.
He is the assault captain of the army led by Largtan and one of the giants..
Furthermore, it was also the existence that was in charge of contact with other monarchs. Therefore, Largtan did not delay and revealed the reason for calling Albaric..
【Has there been no contact from Lacus yet??】
【I'm sorry but yes.】
Lord of the Undead, Asteban.
At the point when he, who was the number one monarch in the hierarchy, vanished in vain in the eastern jungle, contact with Lacus, who had been active so far, was suddenly cut off..
Meanwhile, as Largtan listened to the answer and kept his mouth shut, Albaric glanced at him and spoke cautiously..
【king If you have anything special to say, I will contact you again..】
【―no, it would be futile.】
But then.
Suddenly, Largtan shook his head..
Then, as if he had guessed everything, he murmured with his blue eyes radiating..
【The fact that there has been no contact so far must mean that he has finally revealed his ambition..】
【yes? If you say it's greed……?】
【to be the only abyss.】
【───?!】
Immediately after Largtan's speech.
Albaric widened his eyes..
Then, immediately, his face turned red and he shouted loudly as if in rage..
【Nonsense! How can an abyss with only one eyeball have no ability other than to hide and watch insidiously?……!】
【There is a possibility. The only Kings of Abyss left in the world are Jim and Lacus..】
One abyss. or the true abyss.
Just as humans seek wealth and honor, this is the ultimate goal pursued by the lords of the abyss..
To achieve this goal, the competitor needs to disappear first. It means other lords of the abyss except for himself..
【So if Jim is gone, he's very close to the true abyss..】
Largtan burst into laughter..
it was a laugh.
【There's just something he doesn't know.】
【Doing so……?】
【In order to become a true abyss, it is of course important to eliminate competitors, but there is something more important than that..】
【that, what is that?】
When Albaric asked back, Largtan twisted the corner of his mouth and smiled grotesquely. With eyes asking what was so obvious, he answered quietly..
【overwhelming power.】
Suddenly he spread his arms wide.
Largtan raised his outstretched arms high into the sky in the spirit of embracing the whole world in his arms, and shouted as he glared at the common ceiling..
【It is an overwhelming power that even the lofty stars floating in the sky are afraid of! It is the closest way to the true abyss.】
Even though the door to the abyss hadn't been opened yet, the reason why he brought his troops here wasn't just because he was persuaded by Lacus..
The Overwhelming Force I Just Mentioned.
He came here to take it before any other lords. Largtan smiled with greedy eyes..
【So the guy crouching outside the desert can never beat Jim..】
After saying a certain word, Largtan tightly clasped his outstretched hand in the air..
【If that day comes someday, I'll be the first to go get his eyeballs..】
Like grabbing an eyeball you snatched and popping it.
A smile bloomed on his lips..
It was a very cruel laugh.
2.
Meanwhile around that time.
Ulan and his party descended the sand dunes and moved toward the entrance to Zhartoum's Tower..
But the moment I had my destination in front of me, I saw something I couldn't see from the top of the hill..
“what?”
“I can't believe that…….”
A crowd gathered near the entrance of the tower.
It was Urkaban, a monster of the abyss, a black wall wriggling like a creature with dozens of cultists..
At that time, it was not only the party that faced strangers. The pagans also flinched as if they were bewildered when they discovered Ulan's party belatedly..
“……!”
Hesitation with a bit of hesitation.
This was a sign of doom.
It was because there was someone who did not miss the gap in which they were embarrassed and dug in..
Papababababak!
rain of arrows falling from the sky.
It was Sven's predecessor..
He showered the cultists with arrows, just like he did when he rescued Lieutenant Alec..
“heo heo ok!”
“kook!”
“shit! me, wet……!”
Pagans who fall like hedgehogs.
The pagans tried to announce it with a loud voice in the sudden attack. However, Dillia's response was much faster than that..
“turn it off! town!”
“Wow! mom, the voice……!”
chain of radiance.
The chains created by the magic of the stars wrapped around the pagans' entire bodies. He even covered his mouth so he couldn't even scream..
and at that moment.
Angry death has come.
──!
With a sound like countless balloons bursting at once, the heads of dozens of cultists split in the blink of an eye..
it wasn't just them.
The monster of the abyss, the Urca Peninsula, was also torn to shreds and turned into ashes and scattered into the air. Literally, in just a blink of an eye, the battle was over..
“……uh?”
what did i just see?
Syrpy looked at the corpses of the cultists with blank eyes as if he couldn't grasp reality..
but for a while.
Discovering the person at the center of the battle that ended in an instant, she finally recognized the person who created this scene..
‘Ulaanbaatar.’
A man brushing off blood from an axe.
The moment he recognized him, Syrupy realized.
That Ulan had triggered his own domain, obliterating all enemies at a speed imperceptible to others..
Syrupy wasn't the only one surprised by this sight.
Like Ulan, Ian, who had reached the level of a master, also had a dumbfounded face..
“Seo, is it possible that the range of the area has increased compared to the last time you dealt with Asteban??”
“increased.”
“maybe to some extent……?”
“eighty eight steps.”
Ian is at a loss for words..
It was natural. His realm range is 8 steps, and Cadel Dune Shanctus, who is said to be the strongest knight in the Holy Land, has an area of 30 steps..
On the other hand, the scope of Uhlan's territory was really ridiculously wide..
“……I was proud of myself for growing up, but I can't compare to you..”
Rather, the gap widens so much that I don’t even dare to catch up. Then Sven, who was retrieving the arrow, glanced at Ian and said.
“You have to compare what you compare. We're on the average side and he's a monster..”
“haha, that's right.”
Ian nodded in agreement.
However, in Sirpy's eyes, the two were not ordinary either. They were strong players who reached the level of masters at the age of less than 20 years old..
As the conversation was about to end, a voice suddenly raised its voice..
“No, what if I get rid of them all?!?”
It was Noah's voice..
She looked at Ulan in bewilderment, and Ulan tilted his head and asked back..
“why? is there any problem?”
“of course! At least I'll have to capture at least one person so they won't ask what they were doing here, where they got the monster from the abyss, and what this tower really is.!”
Noah shouted again..
On the other hand, Ulan waved his hand as if it was not a big deal and replied,.
“don't worry if that's the case.”
“what are you saying……!”
“'Cause I'm still inside.”
his hand pointed to the tower.
In fact, a number of signs were detected inside the tower that were incomparable to those outside. Even if I roughly counted it, it was at least a few hundred..
“……Haha, anyway, after you're inside the tower, please capture at least one person alive. Because I have a lot to ask.”
“keep in mind.”
After answering, Ulan kicked the tower door without hesitation. The door, unable to overcome the force, was blown away and stuck inside..
Quagga gaga go! kwaaang!
gaping entrance. Paganism in the tower.
Seeing this, there was no need to talk.
2It was the start of the second round.
