Giant King Largtan.
Immediately after identifying the Lord of the Abyss behind Arena Rudric, Noah frowned and bit his lip..
A complexion that was instantly shaded.
There is only one reason. It is because Largtan is involved in Ulan's confirmed death..
‘Of course, uhlans are stronger now.’
Defeating Asteban, the No. 1 monarch, is the most certain proof.
Even so, for some reason, Noah's face darkened again..
Meanwhile, is it because of the ever-changing complexion? Her companions who were watching her came to talk to her.
“Noah?”
“Are you okay? I have a bad complexion.”
“I have a problem?”
“……it's nothing. I just suddenly have a lot of thoughts.”
Noah, out of his mind, shook his head..
Afterward, she shared what she just remembered with the group. It was speculated that the entity behind Arena Rudric was Largtan..
some time after that.
“Well, that certainly makes sense..”
Laurea shook her head..
It wasn't just her. The other party also responded in agreement with Noah's guess..
At the same time, Ulan also muttered quietly..
“If you can capture a cultist with a higher rank, you'll know if your guess is solid..”
“that's right. The problem is that the uhlans have destroyed all but one, so I can't do that..”
Noah's eyes narrowed..
Ulan shook his head at this..
“As I said before, I didn't get rid of all of them..”
“yes? what does that mean…….”
“'Cause there's still a lot up there.”
Ulan pointing to the top of the tower.
As soon as I listened, I heard intermittent noises. It was proof that there was something up there.
After exchanging glances, the Ulan party went up the stairs as if there was no delay..
how long has it been like that?
Sven, who was speeding up at the head of the group, suddenly stopped. He pricked up his pointy ears and spread his palms toward the group..
“Wait a minute.”
“hmm? why?”
“I see something strange.”
Sven narrows his eyes.
After a while, Noah tilted his head as he watched him as if observing the top of the tower..
“what a sight?”
“Uh, I don't know why…….”
Sven slurred..
But even that was short-lived, Sven conveyed the scenery he had discovered without missing a word..
“I'm fighting with the cultists.”
“yes? Hey, heretics?”
“It looks like they're arguing against each other, but.”
Sven shrugged..
On the other hand, did he suddenly become interested in the idea of a confrontation between pagans? Syrupy looked at the scenery on the top floor with his glasses fixed on..
“……!”
Then I opened my eyes.
It was with a surprised expression.
“me, that person……!”
“why? I saw someone I know?”
When Sven asked, Sirfi nodded silently. Soon after, with a stiff face, he continued his explanation as if whispering..
“……Last time I revealed who were candidates for the next leader of the Desert Church.?”
“I did.”
“is one of them.”
At the time, the three candidates Sirfi was talking about were:.
Among them, Arena Ludrick has become the new leader, so of course he can't be here..
Then there are two remaining candidates..
Ulan immediately asked.
“what's your name?”
“Muak Rudric..”
The moment I heard Syrupy's answer.
The story I heard from her the other day passed through my mind naturally..
A man with outstanding qualities as a warrior.
At the same time, he was the person who was said to be the closest to the next religious leader among the three candidates..
5.
Muak Rudric.
A candidate for the new leader of the Desert Church, he returned to being an ordinary warrior. It was because he had fallen out of the competition for the position of the next head teacher..
Around the time I calmly admitted defeat.
I suddenly found out something unexpected.
The successor who competed with him until the end, Arena Ludrick, committed infidelity.
It was even a fatal denial that violated the doctrines and covenants of the church..
‘abyss).’
Arena Ludrick contacted the Abyss, a force that must be absolutely rejected by the Church, and borrowed their power..
It is unknown how the process took place, but it was certain that the power of the abyss was borrowed..
Shortly after recognizing this.
Muak immediately intervened. In order for Arena Ludrick to reveal her infidelity she committed, and to let her know that she is not qualified to be her leader..
‘but…….’
In conclusion, it failed..
The reason was simple. This is because Arena Ludrick's power and influence were too strong..
and one more.
There was a traitor within. As a result, Muak was treated as a criminal and chased, and in an instant he became a fugitive..
However, it was impossible to just run away, so Muak prepared a counterattack, while trying to disrupt Arena Rudric's purpose..
Eventually, this was achieved.
By obtaining the real 'Seal Box' that Arena Ludrick has been searching for so long,.
‘that girl is crazy.’
The sealed box he secured is the last bastion to prevent the repetition of the seven-day disaster..
The sound of Arena Rudric holding hands with the abyss and moving toward this goal has only one meaning..
‘7to recreate the disaster of work.’
Knowing this fact, Muak could not stay still. So after he secured the sealed box, he planned to flee out of the desert..
but the plan failed.
Because it was tracked faster than I thought.
“Mu, Muak!”
“The way down has been cut off!”
To make matters worse, even the retreat has disappeared..
Isolated near the top of the tower, Muak and his party hurriedly formed a formation. It was to greet the pursuers.
after a while, after a while.
A series of groups appeared after them. It was a group of dozens of heretics wearing black robes..
In addition, there was even a bizarre-shaped monster beside the cultists..
‘monster of the abyss.’
Terrible monsters summoned by Arena Ludrick, who has risen to the position of the leader. As Muak glared at them, he heard a familiar voice..
“The tag game is over now..”
“……radon.”
The man who was at the forefront of the cult.
Raden Bolat was a person who had a brotherly bond with Muak, and at the same time, he was a traitor who recently left him and sided with Arena Rudric..
On the other hand, Laden, facing Muak, waved his hands with a relaxed face..
“Stop giving up and hand over the sealed box. Do you really intend to go against the will of the teacher??”
“That woman is not a priest.!”
“Tsk, not like you, Muak. A warrior should know how to admit defeat.”
Raden clicked his tongue low once at Muak's strong denial. However, Muak countered it with unflinching momentum..
“How can someone who has not been recognized by the cult's godhead be acknowledged as the religious leader?!”
Was it because he violated the doctrines of the Desert Church and colluded with the Abyss? Or did I not deserve it in the first place??
Arena Rudrick did not receive any choice or recognition from Rudrick's family, who are called divine beasts of the church..
‘So, of course, I knew I would be pushed out of the candidacy, but I never thought I would cooperate with Abyss..’
After reminiscing about the past.
Muak sharpened his teeth.
“And that's not all! From the moment she summoned a monster from the abyss, she didn't even deserve to be called a member of the church.!”
As soon as the angry work stops,.
Radon's face crumpled..
“It's a bitch. Be careful with your words, muak!”
“It's true! A monster of the abyss, do you intend to break the oath passed down from your ancestors??!”
Muak fighting back without losing.
But at that moment.
“I think so.”
“what, what?”
An unexpected answer came back.
Muak asked again with his eyes wide open, and Laden let out a dry sigh. Then I looked into the void with somewhat empty eyes.
“What a thousand years. For a thousand years after the kingdom that flourished the brilliant civilization was destroyed, we had to stay in this damn desert..”
“that…….”
“The desert is over now. Now that the last remaining oasis is drying up, continuing to remain in the desert is like saying you will die..”
So we must get out of the desert.
even to survive.
To do so, you will inevitably have to go to war with the countries bordering the desert, and you will need a much stronger force than them to win..
and―.
Arena Ludrick meets the conditions.
That's why Laden betrayed Muak and swore allegiance to her. For the future of the church, free from the bondage of the past.
“No matter how important the oath and maintenance of the ancestors are, it is useless if you lose your life. Because nothing is more important than life.”
Muak closed his mouth at the confident answer. After a moment of silence, Laden stretched out his hand again toward Muak..
“So, give me the sealed box. Thinking of old times, I'm saying this for the last time..”
“…….”
no answer came back.
At this, Laden waited calmly. You might be thinking about an answer. After a long time passed, Muak's mouth opened..
“raden, my old brother.”
a steady voice.
unfazed eyes.
With a firm look as if he had made a decision, Muak continued his answer..
“Just like you said there is nothing more important than life, I also have the most important thing.”
“hmm? what is it?”
“oath.”
Muak growled fiercely..
“As a blood relative of Kazan Rudric, it is to keep the will that our ancestors said. This is more important than life to me.”
In other words, it means that I will not follow Raden's suggestion..
At Muak's choice, Laden let out a deep sigh with a confused face..
“Whoa, is it really like this?.”
“come I'll hang out with you for the last time.”
With the sealed box on his back.
Muak held two bizarre-looking knives in his hands. It was a curved sword, a weapon mainly used by desert warriors..
“yes, goodbye now.”
Laden also nodded slowly..
However, he did not step forward. Instead, just flick his fingers. Then the monsters of the abyss who were waiting with the cultists walked out.
“Bye bye, muak.”
grotesque jaw-dropping monsters.
Since he was ready to attack at any moment, Muak grabbed the curved sword with a grim face. The moment he tried to burn his life like that.
Wooddeuk!
Suddenly, an eerie sound was heard..
The sound of bones being crushed. The sound of flesh being torn and heads exploding. I heard the sound of blood and flesh pouring out as limbs were pulled out..
“……uh?”
Soon after, by the time you blink your eyes once.
The landscape in front of my eyes has changed. As if the sound he had just heard was not wrong, the cultists and monsters were torn to pieces and rolled on the floor..
At that moment, the accident stopped..
Because I didn't understand what had just happened. Then, a being I had never seen came into sight..
“…….”
It was a man with an ax dripping with blood..
After completely removing his upper body, he looked at Muak in silence among the corpses..
When we exchanged such strange glances.
“hello.”
Suddenly, a clear voice was heard..
When I reflexively turned my head, a girl with black hair appeared there. At first glance, he looked like he came from outside the desert..
“It's a conversation we just had. I'd love to hear more, but that's fine.?”
Noah Darshen.
Stepping on a puddle of blood, she approached and smiled at Muak, who had a dazed expression..
with a notice disguised as an offer.
