Gate of Glory.
‘Indeed, it lives up to its reputation..’
It's huge. The Gates of Glory could be described with that one word..
The end of the door was so high that it could not be seen with the naked eye. Well, it's partly because the view is obscured by the thick fog..
‘Who would have thought that I would personally witness the entrance to Kalos, which I had only heard of in legends?.’
I wanted to take a picture, but I quickly gave up on that thought..
It won't be too late to do it after making sure it's safe inside..
‘If you're a beginner, you've probably already taken a picture of it..’
Even in times like this, you don't let down your guard and follow the rules..
Hehe, as expected, he was very capable..
Sasak-!
Darwin entered Kalos.
5The commander of the corps descended about 40 years ago..
The inside had long been in ruins..
‘Everything around is gray. Is this the power of the commander?.’
The only person with color here is you..
I wrapped myself in a coat of as similar color as possible and blended in with my surroundings..
Because there was fog in the sky, the activity was not difficult..
I continued heading inward and reviewed the information I received from Charon..
- There was a rumor going around that there was a moving corpse. This information was provided by the person who handed over the chimera information. It can be dangerous, so don't go too deep..
In addition, he received some minor information, but Darwin could not understand it..
‘A moving corpse? Investigate such nonsense. Being too meticulous is also a problem..’
Although I respected the leader Charon, it wasn't that I didn't respect him..
When I walked for about half a day, preparing for possible danger..
I reached where I aimed. Kalos District 3).
It is the busiest district in the capital city of Kalos..
Wow-.
But now all that remained was a ruined building, dust, and a few birds circling in the sky..
“…….”
Darwin, hiding in the ruins, unfolded a map..
After swatting away the ants crawling on the map, I got lost in thought..
As usual, it would be right to wait around here. I told you not to go too deep, just in case..
The mission ends when we search this area and return in about 2-3 days..
but.
‘2Fountain of Radiance on Earth. I really want to see that.’
A battle with the corps commander that lasted for a year.
The battle was so fierce that the huge royal palace disappeared without a trace..
But ‘Fountain of Radiance’ survived..
This is because the priests at the time used it as a space to make holy water..
A space that must be protected from the human allied forces' perspective..
It is said that because of this, the Fountain of Splendor was able to remain safe until the end of the war..
From what I heard, it was possible to leave its shape intact..
“…….”
Darwin thought for a while and took action only after a day..
3After passing through Earth, we entered Earth 2..
‘Yeah, what power does a corpse have??’
It's probably already been a long time since you returned to your bones..
These guys have nothing but bones. Just walking is hard, but running is even harder..
If it's your second time running, it's a sad Darwin..
Even if something unexpected happens, you will be able to get out of it..
More than anything.
‘We searched for a day, but found no traces..’
Charon cautioned for the safety of the rats, but in the first place, the rats live on loyalty alone..
It is not loyalty to Charon. Loyalty to family.
The safety of the empire is directly related to the safety of the family..
Because they knew this better than anyone else, they would sacrifice their lives to carry out their missions..
‘They said this information was provided by the person who gave them information about Chimera..’
I still don't believe it, but it's worth checking out, even if it's a little risky..
2I had the intention of going beyond Earth to District 1..
‘Well, I guess I'll see the Fountain of Radiance on my way to District 2..’
2Darwin arrived at the beginning of the Earth, immediately set up a shelter, and then went on a search..
Little by little from the outskirts.
But this place was not much different from District 3..
There were no traces of life..
People, animals, birds, even the most common ant baby.
There was not even the slightest trace of a living creature to be found..
2Fountain of Radiance at the Center of the Earth.
Darwin, who was heading there, suddenly felt a sense of discomfort..
The problem is that I don't know what's causing this feeling of discomfort..
Darwin instinctively slowed down his forward movement..
It was only when I saw the fountain in front of me that I realized the true nature of that sense of discomfort..
‘……Wait, there isn't a single ant baby.?’
There isn't a single insect, not even an ant, in this vast place..
It didn't make sense in common sense. It was then.
rattle-.
A sound that comes from a place where there is no one, where not even a small living thing can be found, let alone the tip of a human fingernail..
Darwin immediately hid himself and looked where the sound came from..
It had a bone in it..
human hand bones.
It's not strange.
After entering Kalos, I was able to see not only bones but also piles of bones..
The problem is, the hand bones are pointing upwards..
like.
‘……It looks like it came out of the ground..’
This is ridiculous..
The buried bones were exposed as sand dust moved due to the wind. It must be something like that..
It was time for Darwin to look away from there..
Suddenly.
The bones in my hand broke and I hit the ground..
Clutter-.
As I applied my strength in that state, my pure white elbow appeared on the ground..
Crunch!
Shoulder blades sticking out of the sand, and skulls appearing at an angle.
Suddenly - suddenly-.
“……!”
Darwin immediately left his seat..
By confirming the existence of a moving skeleton? right.
But it wasn't the root cause of the flight..
Gradually - Gradually!
The sound of a skeleton digging up the ground.
Because the sound began to echo in all directions..
Ddad-dad-dad-dak!
The skeleton started running. Of course, the direction you are confident in.
The speed is no different from that of a person running. I even saw some guys holding weapons..
‘Everyone, we need to tell you this right away.!’
dead but not dead.
A being that refused death.
It was the moment when the undead first appeared in this world..
* * *
“Ugh! I can't believe I'm not recognized!”
Luna let out anger.
Because I suffered the humiliation of being ‘passed’ by Lucia..
“Next time, I will definitely make you look back at me.!”
Luna started to burn.
If I don't get recognized next time, I'm going to become the Great Demon King..
‘Well, I also need to be recognized..’
Main quest. It is also a quest with an additional reward of 50 points..
I felt like I would have to train hard for a while..
“huh? But what is he doing over there??”
As soon as I opened the training ground door, I found Leger..
It's been a while since I came out of the box.
To be precise, the state of standing up in a box.
Leger raised his hands to the sky and began moving his body left and right..
‘camera?’
Yes. Leger had a camera in his hand..
He even goes so far as to adjust the angle by raising his tiptoes..
What's unusual is that the lens is pointed towards Leger..
‘what. Are you taking a selfie??’
Leger, who has an extremely timid personality, is taking selfies. It was such an amazing thing..
Leger held the photo in his hand and smiled proudly..
Did the selfie come out well??
“What are you doing?”
“ah… … Wow, I'm so happy. Chi, this is my first time taking a picture with a friend..”
I took a picture with my friend?
I looked at the photo Leger had taken. She took a picture together like she said..
Leger's face with his bangs covering his eyes takes up 90% of the photo, and Luna's figure in one corner. 10%.
Yes. Luna came out the size of a booger. Even her face was so blurry that it was hard to see..
‘commonly… … Did you say that we filmed something like this together??’
As we looked at the picture in silence, Leger waved his arms..
“Ma, did you feel bad for taking the picture without saying a word??”
“…….”
“Sorry, sorry... … . Well, nothing like this will happen next time. You're so happy that you stop…….”
Luna, seeing that, began to tremble..
How dare you take a hidden camera? Are you saying you won't let me live??
As expected, Luna was like the Great Demon King..
“Give it to me.”
“yes, yes?”
Luna took the camera and put her arm around Leger's shoulder..
Also known as ‘Hey. ‘Pretend to be friendly, pretend to be friendly’ attitude.
Trying to extort money from that poor child... … No, he was definitely trying to get paid for the photo..
click-.
When Luna operated the button, the mana stone activated and the photo was immediately printed..
Then he handed one of the two sheets to Leger..
“Next time, just say it. I'll take as many pictures as you want.”
“Go, thank you! Yes, I will keep it as an heirloom.!”
“Hmm, hmm. what… … I'm even going to go see it.”
The corner of Luna's mouth twitched..
I guess I'm finally realizing that I have a second friend..
“Hehe, I'll take a picture too..”
“It's okay, it's okay…….”
Leger quickly hid the camera..
I guess it's a shame. It might be burdensome to take a picture with the handsome me..
“good job. It would be a big deal if the camera exploded..”
This probably means that the camera can't handle my good looks(?). That's right, Luna.?
After a short daily conversation, the children looked at me..
They seem to want me to tell them what to do from now on..
Today is the day Leger officially joined and the first day of joint training..
For your information, Leger also agreed to start training..
‘I think he accepted because he could become Luna's friend.…….’
Well, it will work out somehow..
In the first place, we will train to take advantage of Leger's strengths..
“What are you going to train for? After all, it has to be physical training first, right? Because Leger lacks stamina…….”
“Sorry, sorry. W, I will work hard.!”
There are two things wrong with what Luna said now..
First of all, Leger is not lacking in stamina, but rather lacking in stamina..
secondly…….
“Hehe, I won't have Ms. Leger do any physical training..”
“what?”
“I have no intention of making you do something you are not good at. It's a waste of time.”
“still… … Isn’t a minimum level of physical strength required??”
“You walk well. It's enough.”
Luna thought for a moment and nodded..
“but. Leger is an archer, so he can hide and shoot, so he might not need that much stamina.?”
“Hehe, that's right.”
“Just as I taught. Good job, zero.”
“W, as expected, Miss Luna is amazing! Hey, I can't believe you came up with a training routine that's perfect for me.!”
“……?”
It felt strange, but I decided to move on. That's not what's important right now.
Kokeshi dolls lined up in a row at the training ground.
Five wooden dolls spaced about 3 meters apart from each other.
“Okay, then let's start training.?”
“W, I will work hard.!”
Leger took out a small bow and whined, putting it on its string..
I think it took about 10 seconds for the bow string to become taut..
The strength stat was like 3..
Tung!
Pfung!
The arrow flew straight into the head of the wooden doll..
“It was stuck exactly between the eyes, right? amazing!”
“Hehehe!”
It's definitely an amazing hit rate..
[Baekbal Baekjung], [Concentration]. Both of her skills are S level..
As far as hitting something, it will display power close to that of a shrine..
Whoever your opponent is will take fatal damage..
‘If your attack power is high, that is..’
bow. It's a good weapon. But it doesn't suit Leger.
The hit rate is high, but the attack time and destructive power are poor..
As expected, Leger needs to use a different weapon..
“Hehe, that sucks..”
“What are you talking about? You guessed it right.”
“The attack time is long and the destructive power is poor. If the opponent is the devil, it's no different from a toothpick stuck in it..”
“But... … If you increase your strength and use mana…….”
“It's too inefficient. There is no way out.”
“……It sounds like you have some other weapon in mind.?”
Of course.
I rummaged through my pants pockets with both hands and took out a weapon from [subspace]..
Luna and Leger's mouths dropped open..
Because it was such a big and beautiful weapon..
Regé, for you.
“A magic gun suits you better than a bow..”
The essence and product of magic engineering.
The magic gun has revealed itself..
