Episode 1447. Are you human? Are you from the Burakwi tribe?
Sierra Mountains.
Camping ground for the western army of the Escatos Kingdom.
Viscount Oscar Abid Chief of Staff of the Western Army visited the commander’s quarters.
“Commander.”
“What’s going on?”
When the chief of staff came in Elio who had been leaning on the bed moved to the table.
“I’m sorry you’re taking a break.”
Chief of Staff Abid lowered his head with a sheepish look on his face.
After the midnight sun began the distinction between rest and sleep became meaningless creating many ambiguous situations like the present.
“What are you sorry about? “It’s not even bedtime.”
After fighting the monsters the western army took some time to rest and reorganize.
“We obtained important information through interviewing the survivors.”
“This is so much information that the Chief of Staff can’t even rest… What is it?”
“It is said that there is a being in the Sierra Mountains who appears to be a demon lord.”
“Demon Lord?”
Elio’s eyes sparkled.
There’s a demon lord in the Sierra Mountains that I couldn’t meet even while passing through the Kingdom of Tallinn?
Considering the absolute position of the demon lords it was somewhat surprising.
“Yes it is said that he stood out by riding a red horse bigger than an elephant and wearing a gold crown. “I saw him commanding winged demons (Astaroids).”
“If you say winged demons do you mean Astaroids?”
“Yes if you treated a high-ranking demon like a servant… the staff’s opinion is that you must be a demon lord. but….”
“but?”
“I wonder why the demon lord is hiding in the Sierra Mountains abandoning the rich Kingdom of Tallinn.”
The Sierra Mountains were covered in snow all year round making it difficult for life to survive. It would be no different even if the opponent was a demon.
“Where was the demon lord seen?”
“Valdo Diano Canyon is known as the most dangerous place in the Sierra Mountains.”
“It must be difficult for the Western Army to get there?”
“That’s right. If the sound of a magic gun causes an avalanche it could become the graveyard of the Western Army.”
“Find someone to guide you to Valdo Diano Canyon. “When the western army leaves the Sierra Mountains we will go to Valdo Diano Canyon.”
“Are you planning on defeating the demon lord alone?”
“You have to do it that way. “We can’t leave the demon lord behind.”
“How about organizing a special task force?”
“I heard there are no more people receiving Mana’s blessing? “We must save the knights and wizards.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“It’s because the Chief of Staff doesn’t know yet but I haven’t even started a losing battle.”
“All right.”
Chief of Staff Abid bowed and retired from the commander’s barracks.
***
Sierra Mountains.
Valdo Diano Canyon.
A giant with a golden crown on his head entered the ice cave in the innermost part of the canyon.
The ice cave was filled with extreme cold.
The colder it got the stronger it got as it went in and every time the giant exhaled ice powder flew around.
It was so cold that not only people but also demons could not walk even a few steps and would freeze to death.
Still the giant persevered and went deep inside.
The giant demon lord Beris who had been walking fast for a while slowed down.
He finally reached the end of the ice cave.
In front of the transparent ice wall stood a rectangular metal pillar shining silver.
Standing in front of the metal pillar Beris seemed as small as a dwarf.
Beris muttered stroking the metal pillar with his fingers.
“That’s amazing. “I can’t break the barrier even with my alchemy… Should I just destroy it?”
Beris scratched the metal pillar with his sharp fingernails.
Kiiiiii!
Along with an unpleasant friction sound long fingernail marks appeared on the metal pillar.
However the marks soon disappeared like a lie.
When Beris saw that a light of greed appeared in his eyes.
“It would be a waste to destroy it.”
The metal pillar was a relic of the Titans from ancient times.
The Titans’ relic is called ‘Ladder of Immortality’ among demons.
That metal pillar contains the power of the Titans who subdued even the evil god Shaitin.
Considering that a fingernail can split steel like tofu and barely leave a trace the thing inside the metal pillar is probably ‘ethernum’.
The fact that even traces soon disappear is due to the unique regenerative effect of Eternum.
If he the demon lord obtains Eternum he may become the king of monarchs.
When I thought about that my mouth started watering.
Beris soon gathered the dark ether in his palm and touched the metal pillar.
At that moment geometric patterns quickly appeared and disappeared on the surface of the metal pillar.
Is this a text from the Titans that is only known in legend?
Whatever it was Beris was pushed back by the strong rebound that followed.
Beris’ body screamed ‘Pow!’ An explosion was heard.
The shock wave was strong enough that an ordinary demon would have exploded and died.
However Beris was only pushed back three steps.
“How dare you!”
Veris feeling hurt grabbed the air and threw something at the metal pillar.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
A heavy explosion was heard continuously from the metal pillar.
There were cracks in the surface of the metal pillar but they soon returned to their original appearance.
Beris who had been huffing and puffing in front of the metal pillar slumped down on the spot.
Beris who had been motionless for several hours slowly stood up.
“Give up.”
After three years of research we have found one thing.
It is true that metal pillars are hostile to demons.
Since the Titans fought against the evil god Shaitin perhaps it was only natural.
“We need to get rid of this.”
It is true that I am greedy for Eternum but if it is impossible I must give it up completely.
And if I can’t have it I have to get rid of it.
Berris took out his life’s masterpieces that he had collected in a subspace warehouse.
“The cold protects it so we can burn it with fire.”
He piled up all kinds of fire weapons made through alchemy around the metal pillar.
He had pulled out all the firepower he had and not only the metal pillar but even more than that would have melted away.
Just before activating the firearm Beris touched the metal pole once again.
He was so sad that he had to destroy the Titans’ relics with his own hands.
Was such a sorrowful feeling conveyed?
Even though he did not use the dark ether a geometric pattern suddenly appeared on the metal pillar.
The pattern was not an eerie red like before but a warm green.
‘huh?’
Beris stared at the green symbol with his blank eyes.
The green pattern that started at the tip of the metal pillar went around the metal pillar and came down to the floor.
Finally as if we had arrived at our final destination a green symbol blinked on and off at the bottom.
Dry saliva gulpted down Barry’s throat.
Instinctively he knew that now was the time to make the final choice.
Either burn it down as you initially decided or accept the arrangement of the metal pillar.
The Titans are hostile to the demons descendants of the evil god Shaitin.
Should we accept the Titans’ arrangement?
However it is not an angry red light but a green color that I have never seen before.
I don’t know how but it seemed like the damn barrier might have been lifted.
Veris hesitated for a long time as he was faced with a crossroads between activating the firearm he had made and leaving or accepting the Titans’ plan.
He who was in agony was about to take a step closer to the metal pillar.
Knock!
A faint explosion was heard outside the cave.
Beris paused and turned his head toward the cave entrance.
After being quiet for three years it seems that outside forces have now invaded the canyon.
Astaroids high-level demons are guarding the canyon so it will soon become quiet.
Kukukukuk!
Beris frowned.
The explosion sound was not subsiding but was getting louder.
“crazy….”
Considering the snow that has accumulated on the mountains on both sides of the canyon for hundreds of thousands of years it shouldn’t be like that.
If that many eyes collapse even Astaroids will become dangerous.
Moreover the monsters and beasts below are sure to die.
Kukukukukukuk!
“What are you doing!”
Beris unable to bear it any longer rushed out of the cave like lightning.
Beris who had just left the cave opened his mouth wide.
The corpses of Astaroids high-level demons were lined up in front of the cave.
“Who are you?”
As Beris shouted the Astaroid chieftain fell in front of him like a thunderbolt.
“My lord! “A human has invaded and is killing the Astaroids!”
“Where is Bellato!”
Bellato was Beris’ champion and was the second strongest after Beris.
“He died.”
“A human or something killed the champion? “Are you saying that now?”
“It definitely looked human.”
The Astaroid chief looked up at Beris with eyes of injustice.
Kukukukuk!
With another loud explosion the Astaroids fell like fallen leaves.
Beris who was glaring at the Astaroid Chief asked.
“Where is that human?”
At that moment something flew like lightning from the top of the mountain and landed in front of the cave.
It was Elio holding the Void Sword in one hand.
“Are you a demon lord?”
The Astaroid chief who was watching quietly took a step back and walked away from the two.
Beris tilted his head as he saw the black crystal sparkling in the human chest.
“That is an artifact of the Buraqui tribe. Are you human? “Are you from the Burakwi tribe?”
“I asked if you were a demon lord!”
Beris looked at the other person with a bewildered expression.
I wanted to crush that head right now but for some reason I felt like I had to give him an answer first.
“Yes I am Beris Lord of Helmut. Are you human? “Are you from the Burakwi tribe?”
Beris looked intently at his opponent.
He had made a concession so now it was the other person’s turn to respond.
“Beris? “Why did you stay away in the snowy mountains leaving Aleks and Tallinn behind?”
Beris couldn’t help but cry as the questions continued.
“I answered your question. This is your turn. Are you human? “Are you from the Burakwi tribe?”
Elio thought for a moment and answered.
“I am the Lord of Mokubas.”
“It was the Buraqui tribe after all. “Then why did you kill my champions and servants?”
Elio lifted his index finger and flicked it from side to side.
“No no. Think carefully. Now it’s your turn to answer. “Why did you stay away in the snowy mountains leaving Aleks and Tallinn behind?”
“Oh that?”
“Yeah that one.”
Beris thought quickly but couldn’t come up with a suitable excuse.
Especially if it was a demon race that used small minds like the Buraqui tribe they would never fall for it.
“I’ll tell you honestly. While passing through the Sierra Mountains he discovered the Temple of Onistos. So I stayed for a while and investigated the temple. Now it’s my turn right? Why did you kill my champions and servants?”
“I only fought back because they tried to kill me first. I am a pacifist. “What is the Temple of Onistos that you are even investigating?”
Beris pursed his lips in response to his opponent’s shameless answer.
A fire broke out inside me but I held back.
This is because I have heard rumors about the monarch of Mokubas that sting my ears.
Moloch the former monarch of Mokubas was stronger than himself.
The opponent was a vicious guy who killed Moloch and took over Mokubas.
“It’s surprising that a monarch from the Buraqui tribe doesn’t know about the Temple of Onistos.”
“Don’t be surprised just teach me.”
“Onistos is the temple of the Titans.”
“aha! I guess there was something great in the Titans’ temple? Right? I can see that your eyes are shaking so it’s true. What did you find here? “Tell me what you’re going to tell me anyway.”
Elio smiled round and round and pressed down on the other person with an overbearing look.
