Episode 1448. Monolith, Ladder of Immortality
Beris didn’t like Lord Mokubas’s eyes or tone of voice.
But he couldn’t say anything about it.
The monarchs are of the same class in that they are descendants of the evil god Shaitin but when they turn they end up competing for their lives.
Of course his body was far superior to that of the Buraqui tribe but because he had devoted himself to alchemy for a long time he had no confidence in winning a fight.
They were defeated by Moloch by force so how can they defeat the wicked Burakwi who killed Moloch and became the lords of Mokubas!
Beris’s eyes glowed insidiously as he contemplated an answer.
He thought ‘How about we blow this guy up with the ladder of immortality?’
The Ladder of Immortality is the final step in unlocking the barrier.
If you think about the Titans who are hostile to the Demons you can predict what the end will be like.
In addition the firearms he collected throughout his life…
It is a fight that cannot be lost.
All you have to do is bring the Lord of Mokubas to the front of the ladder of immortality.
“Actually…”
Beris began to describe the Titanic artifacts he had discovered here.
After the long story was over Elio asked as if confirming.
“So there’s a Titan relic in that cave and they’ve been lifting the barrier for three years?”
“The final stage of disengagement has been reached.”
“But coincidentally I came at the right time?”
“Yes.”
“That’s fun.”
Elio muttered with an indifferent expression.
In Green Forest cases like this would without exception lead to fatal traps.
What about the demon lord?
When the other person seemed suspicious Beris quietly changed the topic.
“Even demons cannot enter the cave due to the cold emanating from the temple. Even if you are a monarch it will be difficult for you to endure if your resistance to cold is not sufficient.”
The saying goes ‘If you don’t have resistance to cold give up.’
Elio let Beris’s warning pass through one of her ears.
‘Do you believe me when I say that only you can enter?’
Maybe it was Beris’s plan to prevent people from entering the cave.
“Let’s go first. “If I feel like my body can’t handle it I’ll give up.”
Elio waved her hand as if to take the lead.
Although his pride might have been hurt Beris turned around with a grave expression on his face.
Beris who was walking ahead had a cold look in his eyes.
The width and height of the cave were 5 meters each so even Beris who was 3 meters tall seemed small.
Elio looked closely at the cave wall.
Even though she had heard that it was a natural rock temple of Laonistos she was in disbelief.
‘What kind of temple does this look like?’
Unlike the forgotten temple of Isica a southern Adriatic kingdom this was simply a rock cave.
Elio who had been following her and looking around her stopped.
cold.
Even though it was cold it was too cold.
It’s not just cold.
It was only the beginning but my skin which is invulnerable to Chinese characters was tingling as if it was going to explode.
“It’s cool.”
Of course it’s a bluff.
Elio was disgusted when her breath froze and flew like snow.
The corners of Beris’s mouth turned up as he glanced behind her.
“Go inside and your bones will feel refreshed. Astaroid lasted just this far. “Still I’m a monarch in name and appearance so I have to see the Ladder of Immortality right?”
“Do you think the relic looks like a ladder?”
“Hehe. “It’s closer to a monolith made of metal than a ladder.”
A monolith refers to a structure made up of one mass rather than several.
So there were demons who called the Ladder of Immortality Monolith.
“Then why do you call it a monolith and a ladder?”
“Because it connects you to the immortal world. That’s why it’s called the ladder of immortality.”
“Immortal World?”
When the monarch of Mokubas showed interest Beris kindly explained.
The more the Lord of Mokubas learns about the Ladder of Immortality the more he will become consumed with desire.
“When a bird moves its nest its feathers remain. The Titans left this world but their traces remained everywhere. A representative example is the Temple of Onistos. “In every temple without exception there is a ladder to immortality.”
“So what is that?”
“You can think of it as an item to increase the abilities of Titan warriors.”
“thing? Was it made with magical engineering?”
“I don’t know that either. “The only thing is that it contains relics of the Titans.”
“I guess it’s here too?”
“Of course. That’s why I stayed here and tried to lift the barrier.”
“You said you reached the final stage right?”
“Yes.”
Elio asked her body trembling from the cold without her knowledge.
“Ugh! Shit. It’s so damn cool. “Is there still a long way to go to the end of the cave?”
“It seems like it’s already hard. If you can’t bear it don’t overdo it and go back. “Don’t risk your life on the Titans’ relics for no reason.”
“Aren’t you cold? Be honest. “Are you cold too?”
“Do you think I who has devoted myself to alchemy for tens of thousands of years am like you?”
Elio wondered how Beris could block the cold but she didn’t ask.
It’s clear that even if you ask they won’t tell you.
After walking fifty more steps I couldn’t bear it anymore.
Every time I take a breath it feels like my lungs are being torn apart.
When I exhaled it turned into snow and flew away.
It was a coldness that even those with spiritual energy called demigods could not handle.
‘Do you think I will lose to a monarch or something?’
As Elio regretted he raised his self-defense gear to protect her body.
As the translucent membrane was applied to her skin the tearing pain lessened.
Beris who was passing the halfway point of the cave inadvertently glanced behind her.
‘joy! ‘He looks like the monarch of Mokubas.’
But we are only halfway there.
Looking at Lord Mokubas’s blue lips it didn’t seem like he would make it to the end of the cave.
At that time when he suddenly felt a cold feeling Beris said ‘Oops!’ I wanted to.
Raising her hand she noticed that one of the cold resistance rings was in poor condition.
‘Holy shit. I should have checked the condition of the cold resistance ring…’
Her own abilities are below those of the Lord of Mokubas.
Nevertheless the reason he is still fine is thanks to the cold resistance rings he wears on his fingers.
All cold resistance rings are artifacts and when magical power is consumed they become ordinary accessories.
She forgot to stand in front of the Immortal Ladder for several hours to lift the barrier.
There are three cold resistance rings in total.
One of them was wilting but the other two would soon become similar.
‘Just hold on until you reach the ladder of immortality.’
However the ring which was in poor condition eventually lost its bright shine.
Beris’ pace quickened as her skin tingled.
Beris’ heart was beating loudly as he instinctively sensed danger.
Did he walk ten steps?
The colors of the remaining rings began to become dull little by little.
Beris forgot his face and ran halfway as his lungs tingled.
Elio knew then that something was wrong with Beris but she didn’t taunt him.
This is because his own condition was more than that of Beris not less.
Is this what it feels like when your lungs are full of ice?
It’s been a long time since his breath which used to blow like a snowstorm every time he exhaled has stopped coming out.
If Beris wasn’t in front of him he would have already jumped out of the cave.
“Ah… just… uhm….”
I was about to ask ‘Are we there yet?’ but his mouth didn’t move like I thought.
‘It’s a Titanic relic so what should I return with?’
It was a shame that his spiritual energy returned to the Great Heavenly Heaven otherwise he would have run away long ago.
No if his spiritual energy hadn’t moved he would have already frozen to death.
Meanwhile as soon as I turned the corner of the cave the eyes of Beris who had been dying flashed.
‘You’re here!’
In the distance I could see the Immortal Ladder and a pile of firearms underneath it.
The green light was still blinking at the bottom of the Immortal Ladder.
Beris said pointing straight ahead with his hand.
“That is the ladder of immortality.”
She asked after Elio moved her tight mouth around to loosen it.
“What’s shiny?”
“It suddenly appeared in the final stage of lifting the barrier. “I don’t know any more than that.”
With the ladder of immortality ahead of her Elio felt that she had reached her limit.
If something unexpected happens here she might really die.
‘I have to leave the cave immediately…’
She was reluctant to just go back after all the hardships.
Doesn’t it seem like he didn’t clean up after her after going about his business?
Beris looked at Lord Mokubas’ complexion.
Just like him the Lord of Mokubas also looked like he was on the verge of freezing to death.
‘Tough guy.’
I can’t believe you’re putting yourself through this much trouble when you can’t even see a decent artifact!
‘We need to send that guy to the ladder of immortality…’
No when I thought about it if I wasn’t going to die with him installing a timer came first.
Beris squeezed his eyes shut and quickly approached the Ladder of Immortality.
Now it’s a real life-threatening battle of wits.
He calmly took out two scrolls from his pocket and placed them behind the firearm.
‘Come come….’
As if his earnest wish had worked the Lord of Mokubas appeared from behind his back.
“What are you doing? “What are those strange things piled up under that pillar?”
“Didn’t you say it was the Temple of Onistos? “It must be an offering made to the Titan gods.”
Elio nodded at her answer which seemed so natural.
I thought it might be possible if this was the temple of the Titans.
“Then I guess that tribute was also given by the Titans?”
“I guess so?”
Beris answered with an ambiguous expression.
According to her own explanation it should have belonged to the Titans.
“What did you give?”
“I tried offering anything to see if it would help lift the barrier.”
“The demon lord offered tribute to the evil god’s enemy? Are you asking me to believe that?”
Beris who was hesitant with an awkward expression on his face ran like a thunderbolt back the way he came.
Elio is not there to just watch.
On the spot ‘Puck!’ Elio disappeared and stood in front of Beris.
Before he knew it the Void Sword was in his hand.
Beris suddenly looked like he was dying and his body trembled.
“Ugh…. My body has reached its limit. “I’m just trying to get out because I can’t stand the cold.”
But Elio didn’t even blink at her.
“Reaching your limit and lying are completely different things. “Do you think I’m stupid?”
As Elio lifted the tip of his sword Beris reluctantly returned to the Ladder of Immortality.
Beris standing in front of the Ladder of Immortality suddenly spoke coldly.
“You idiot. You are done.”
“What bullshit?”
Elio who was looking at Beris with her displeased face swung her sword like lightning.
Pot!
As her sword sliced through Beris her Beris’s appearance disappeared as if turned off.
“Holy shit!”
Belatedly Elio realized that she had been affected by Beris’s illusion magic.
When did she use magic?
She noticed something for a moment and looked at the bottom of the ladder of immortality.
A faint trace of magic was felt in one of the two scrolls.
“ah!”
It seems that the sudden pretending to run away a little while ago was an illusion.
The main body must have escaped when it was struggling with the illusion.
It’s an illusion magic that can fool you completely! This is indeed the skill of a demon lord.
“If I leave this demon bastard alive he won’t be human.”
Elio who was swearing at her felt an eerie feeling and turned his head towards her ladder of immortality.
“Fuck!”
A light twinkled from another scroll that Beris had inserted.
Elio unconsciously bent her back and reached for her scroll.
But the explosion of the scroll came first.
Kkkwang!
Elio’s finger which had missed her scroll touched the blinking green symbol.
At the same time the firearms Beris had piled up exploded in succession.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
The Temple of Onistos was destroyed by a large explosion.
Soon the snow that had accumulated for a long time on the mountains on both sides of the Valdo Diano Gorge collapsed.
Due to a terrible avalanche the Valdo Diano Gorge was reborn as a snow field.
