“But it must have turned out to be a land of death.?”
land of death.
It means that it is an uninhabitable land..
Although it is more due to people ignoring it than to the devastation caused by the war..
A war with the corps commander that lasted for a year.
Tens of millions of people died, and the bodies of most of them could not be recovered..
There was no way they could be cleaned up with torn and torn bodies mixed up here and there..
The war ended with humanity's victory, but no one attempted to rebuild Kalos..
‘Who would want to live in a place where tens of millions of people are buried?.’
In this way, people were gradually erasing the painful memories and Carlos where they buried their families..
But that Carlos came out of my mouth..
“Hehe, money can overcome even death. You probably know better than me..”
Although it is now an uninhabited ruin, Kalos was once the capital of the Rohan Empire, called the Land of Gold..
It is said that many statues and ornaments made of gold were made to live up to its reputation..
Needless to say, it was strange for undercover dealers to wander around a place like that..
If you're lucky, you might be able to pick up a few weapons..
“Didn’t they see it wrong? They mistook the dealers and grave robbers for walking corpses.?”
“Or maybe it's just a rumor to hog the treasure. However, this is what a dark merchant I have interacted with a few times told me. I have no reason to go to Kalos, so there is no reason for you to lie to me like that..”
Charon was lost in thought for a moment..
The conclusion he reached was.
“A walking corpse... … It's most likely a prank combining a special medicine and artifact..”
Charon's reasoning skills are extraordinary, but even he was not expecting this at all..
Beings who refused death, undead.
Certainly, it made no sense in common sense..
‘If Charon is like this... … It’s obvious even if other people don’t see it.’
The continent is not on the path to destruction for nothing..
Erosion, chimera, undead, and even a guy who assassinates key figures..
The Four Heavenly Kings were steadily weakening the power of mankind..
‘The Chimera strategy was half the success. Even the undead should achieve at least that level of performance..’
The others are a pain in the ass, but the undead led by the Maestro of Battle are the biggest trouble..
Because the more you fight, the bigger your power becomes..
It's literally an army.).
If the number of undead legions exceeds a certain number, no one can stop it..
There have been more than a few times when a game that was going well ended with a bad ending..
‘Originally, Volkan's power could only be reduced during winter vacation.…….’
If Charon confirms the existence of Volkan and the undead,?
You might be able to reduce the force faster than that..
Because the empire will move directly.
I faced Charon with a vaguely serious expression..
“If, really if…….”
I swallowed loudly. It's like I'm scared just by imagining it.
“If there is someone who raises the dead?”
“Raising the dead again? nonsense!”
Charon said:.
I wasn't annoyed. This is a completely natural reaction from the perspective of someone who does not know about undead..
‘I have no intention of giving up.’
Persuading Charon. And to inform the continent of the existence of necromancers..
Even if you succeed at just that, you have achieved half the achievement..
“So does chimera make sense??”
“…… That's a completely different issue. Humans and demons are real. It's totally possible to have crazy ideas about mixing the two. But what a walking corpse. It's impossible..”
“Hehe, I think it's something that black magicians would do, right? Wasn't that also the case this time??”
Charon placed his hand on his forehead..
People and the Devil's Tower found in the Creator's Laboratory of Madness.
These are the people who do such things without any hesitation..
A prank where you raise a corpse? It's not like there's no possibility at all..
You must be thinking about that..
“ha… … Okay, let's say you're right. But isn't it just a skeleton at best? There is no reason to be afraid. What kind of power do guys with no muscles have??”
40 years have passed since the war with the corps commander..
Since all the flesh attached to the corpse would have returned to nature, Charon's guess that only the skeleton would be left was correct..
but.
‘It has nothing to do with muscles because it moves with horsepower..’
Even if you turn someone who has trained Mana for a long time into an undead, they become much more powerful than regular undead..
Death Knight is one example..
“No matter how hard you try to raise them up, they are just a bunch of helpless people. What they're after... … Fear that comes from the skull moving? At best, that's about it..”
no. The scariest thing about the undead isn't that their corpses come back to life..
can't feel pain.
A person who was a colleague just a moment ago aims a sword at an ally..
If you kill one, two more will stand up, and you will become the third and attack your allies..
The battlefield is scary because the more you fight, the more defeat you lose..
Yes. Why are the undead the scariest?.
‘Hell's Quantity Offensive.’
Inhumane tactics… … No, undead(?)tactics.
That was the fear of the undead army and the necromancer..
“Hehe, wouldn’t it be okay to do some research? There is no other information anyway..”
Charon was deep in thought..
It doesn't matter if you say you don't like it. Because I'll keep biting and bothering you..
1Has it been about a minute? Charon said quietly..
“……It's too far to go directly. I will dispatch the gutter rat..”
I was a little surprised.
I knew it would be successful, but I didn't know it would work right away..
I was going to bite him at least five or six more times..
‘I think your trust in me is higher than I expected.?’
It was good news.
We will be able to continue our good relationship in the future..
“Well, it would just be a waste of time. I guess there's no need to bring me the next payment. The information is so poor…….”
Well, I guess I should edit what I said earlier..
It's not a good relationship, it's about being able to continue a good deal..
A business relationship is perfect with a guy who grumbles even when you help him..
‘What can I do? I have to endure it because I’m nice and cool..’
Contrary to me, Charon is a bad and ugly person..
I decided to give him a small gift for him..
“Hehe, please also add that I shouldn't go too deep..”
“What do you mean??”
“What if we assume that the conditions for making a walking corpse are corpses or bones??”
Charon's brow twitched slightly..
It looks like you have no idea what I mean..
“About 40 years ago, something happened in Kalos.?”
“There was a war between Crowley, commander of the Demon World's 5th Corps, and the human allied forces..”
“At that time, 10% of humanity buried their bones there. What if we assume that walking corpses are made of bones??”
“for a moment! no way……!”
It's unfortunate, but it's true..
“Imagine turning them all into walking corpses..”
Charon's face was filled with astonishment..
The change in facial expression is even greater than when guessing the reason for chimera research..
“Hehe, even if just 1% of them wander around, no one will be able to escape. Even if it's a sewage rat raised by Teacher Caron.…….”
Because there is no answer to the overwhelming volume.
So, you need to get out as soon as you confirm the presence of the undead..
“……You'd better not ignore the gutters. Some niggas are worse than me.”
It was blunt, but I could tell..
Search as carefully as possible.
When you confirm the presence of a target, retreat immediately..
I'm going to give you instructions like this.
“Hehe, is that so? Then you don't have to worry..”
“Tsk! bouncer!”
How on earth can I not be cocky?.
Anyway, even if your ability is too good, it’s a problem..
Strongly-.
‘I guess I should stop soon.’
Originally, it was a conversation that could have ended comfortably, but.
Charon got so angry after hearing the rumor that I lost my head too much..
If I continue like this, my honey-like skin may get damaged..
The purpose of making known the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings had been achieved, so it was time to retreat..
“……Are you still going to keep the deal you made with Renia a secret??”
Charon suddenly changed the topic..
Well, it's not strange..
‘Because the arrival of a corps commander is not an easy task..’
The lives of at least one million people or equivalent sacrifices must be sacrificed..
Even if there were beings who could communicate with the corps commander, it wouldn't be that easy..
He probably decided he had enough time, so he changed the topic..
“Hehe, if you tell me first, I will think about it..”
“bouncer. Are you not even polite to your teacher??”
“Were you a teacher? Oh my, you haven't been to class lately so I thought you quit..”
Bow your head and show respect..
Charon's expression turned sour..
I don't know why it does that. It's a problem if you treat me like a teacher, it's a problem if I don't.
Anyway, he’s a very picky business partner.?
“Hehe, isn't it natural to keep it a secret? Because it's still not completely trustworthy..”
“……Keeping you alive is itself a sign of trust. You probably don't know?”
“Did you? I thought it was because I liked myself. What is it?.”
Pajik - Pajjik-.
Veins appeared again on Charon's face..
It's not even scary.
so what can you do?
What can you do against me with the shields of Rhenia and Luna?!
When I looked at Charon blankly, he sighed..
“……You arrogant bastard. Be sure to convey the artifacts well..”
‘I'm talking about 'spirit's breath'..
A termination artifact that prevents death, once per battle..
I have to give this to Luna. No matter how much I think about it, it's a waste.
“Hehe, I will also tell you that it is a gift from Teacher Caron..”
“……I guess you're not that stupid. Don't be grumpy for no reason.”
“This isn't being grumpy, it's just expressing a legitimate complaint. The reward for the information goes to Miss Luna, not me. Do you think this makes sense??”
Information about the Creator of Madness, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the existence of Chimera are revealed..
This is top-notch information that could change the future of the continent..
But the reward for this information goes to Luna, who was scratching her stomach in the dormitory..
I couldn't help but have no complaints..
“…… I don't know what your deal was with Renia, but it sure seems like you need to take care of her. Well, isn't that actually a good thing??”
“Not at all. In fact, it would be the opposite. Isn’t Teacher Charon using me to protect Miss Luna??”
“I am not at all.”
He's such a shameless guy..
How can you confidently say, ‘Not at all’ while giving an artifact like that?.
Even if you're mistaken for a lolicon, you won't have anything to say..
“Are you really going to do this??”
“I'll just return to you exactly what you did. Hehehe.”
Charon sneered. And that too while imitating my laughter..
It won't work. I have no choice but to use a special move.
Pooh-.
I filled both my cheeks with air and puffed them up..
A cute way to express your dissatisfaction.
Wouldn't this be a fatal attack for Charon, a lolicon??
Was it too fatal cuteness?.
Charon made a face.
“……I understand, so don't make that face. Where on earth did you learn that facial expression??”
From your love Luna.
Charon, who was rummaging through his arms, threw something at me..
It was a pocket watch small enough to fit in one hand..
[Silver Flash: A]
offense power : 1
Cool time: 5 turns
Condenses mana into a beam of light and shoots it out..
Opponents hit by light are stunned for 0.1 seconds..
An advanced artifact that has been improved to consume almost no mana..
In exchange for reduced mana consumption and faster casting effects, attack power was given up..
It has been transformed into the shape of a pocket watch by someone's hand..
