law…?
bang! bang! bang!
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ! ! !
The giant of corruption ran without hesitation, breaking down the walls in front of him like a machine without hesitation.
Pearly and I sprinted right behind the giant. The giant’s heel moved menacingly in front of his nose throughout the run, but he had no choice but to follow closely behind the giant’s back to avoid the pouring pieces of broken walls.
It’s been a while since I ran like that. No matter how many times I broke down the wall, the view was almost the same. No matter how easily he was a decaying giant, he was also a creature, so he had limitations.
I finally asked Pearly, who was running with a calm face beside me.
“Is it really best to go like this?”
Pearly glanced at my face, moved her gaze back to the front, and answered.
“Honestly, I don’t know if it’s the best. Can’t you think of a better idea right now?”
It breaks so easily, but it continues endlessly. To be honest, this was an obvious waste of time. After all, it would be more important for the invisible enemy to successfully complete this ritual and descend the god into the vessel of the god that he painstakingly made than killing us.
Obviously, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us, and the situation is urgent. But when I saw Pearly’s carefree attitude, the impatience that had been growing in my heart was dampened.
“What if the bowl is completely taken away like this? They say that you only need to retrieve the holy relic, but doesn’t Pearly need a vessel for God?”
At my question, Pearly giggled a little while running.
“Marnac, now that I see you, you are full of raw robbery talent, right? The mindset is so perfect! Perfect! I love it!”
“yes? What does that mean?”
“It’s so perfect that I still don’t notice! Wait a minute, reconsider your expression! Lost the bowl? We will never lose a bowl! because! In the first place, God’s vessels are not ours!”
Only then did I understand what Pearly meant. Well, in the first place, it was the Liberatori that made the god’s vessel, so we were in a position to ‘take away’ the god’s vessel.
After preparing for this task for so long, the perception that it was ours was taken for granted.
‘killing!’
Mother’s cry that if there is something good, it is of course Marnak. When the mother recklessly sympathized with me, I was reminded of how much of a robber-like mindset I was.
“Hmmmm.”
Slightly embarrassed, I took a short breath and tried to speak to Pearly again. As if Perley had sensed it, she threw words at me before I could even open my mouth.
“Don’t worry too much. This mass destruction continues, and I don’t know who is controlling it, but I can’t keep this labyrinth forever!”
The two purple eyes curled softly and drew a good-looking eye smile.
“Because no one has reached infinity. Even the gods of the lofty heavens!”
Quaang!!!
As soon as Pearly finished speaking, a roar of a completely different kind from the roar that had been regularly heard so far, like the sound of construction at a construction site, came from in front of the giant.
We couldn’t see what was happening in front of us because of the giant’s leg, which was following closely behind the Decaying Giant, but we knew right away that whatever it was, it wasn’t so good for us.
Because right in front of our eyes, the huge body of a giant was bouncing towards us.
‘Say hat!!!’
Mother’s warning to avoid immediately. He quickly jumped out of his seat and threw himself to the side. After avoiding colliding with the giant’s body by a narrow margin, I rolled on the floor and bounced back to my feet.
“Pearly! Are you okay?”
“I’m fine!”
thud! thud! thud!
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
After rolling the floor a few more times, the decaying giant kicked the floor with a furious roar and tried to get up, but the floor itself sank into the ground as if waiting. The huge body, which had lost its support, began to fall indefinitely.
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ? ! !
A roar full of bewilderment. The giant’s roar, which quickly moved away along with the fall, became completely inaudible.
“uh? hmm.”
Is this the case when you open your eyes and cut your nose? In an instant, one of my important forces, the giant of corruption, was incapacitated.
“mother. Will you bring this back?”
‘killing…?’
‘uh? ‘Why not?’ was a short question. If my mother didn’t know, then of course I didn’t either.
“Is the giant okay?”
‘killing!’
The answer is that he probably isn’t dead. If that’s the case, it would be correct to say that the giant of corruption was contained in some way, regardless of who it was. It was most likely the one who had been manipulating the structure of this lair all along.
For now, the first priority was to check what had happened in front of the giant. If you’re not completely dead, there will always be a way to save you.
But there was no need for Pearly and I to find out what had happened in front of us.
rick rick rick.
subtle cacophony. There was something off-putting about the grinding sound of the gears, as if they were under-greased, like the scratching of a chalkboard.
Unlike other ordinary gold people, there were numerous jagged lumps of hair that couldn’t tell where the eyes were and where the mouth was.
It was all for their own sake that the gold people dared to take a human-like shape and walk around. Since they are a race that usually travels from place to place as merchants, the fact that they can have a similar appearance to the trading target with their own ability was a strong advantage that made the transaction a little smoother by giving the other party a sense of familiarity.
From that point of view, the gold man’s head, which made a lot of unpleasant noises and was even oddly shaped, was a complete disqualification in terms of familiarity with humans.
Of course, that bizarre hair also meant that the gold people were living a life where they didn’t ‘necessarily’ offer familiarity to the other person.
In addition, unlike the bizarre jagged head, the dark metal body itself did not deviate much from the human shape. Rather, it was to the point where I felt that the suit, which was dressed much more neatly than ordinary people, looked good on it.
rick rick rick.
A resounding voice unique to the Geumni tribe leaked out between the gears that constantly meshed and turned.
[You.]
Judging by the unusual appearance, it was clear that the gold man was the Horlu that Pearly had told me about beforehand.
Yes, the author was the gold man who was in charge of the actual manager of the capital branch of the Northern Empire here in Liberationio and was in charge of handling all practical matters.
Horlu didn’t have any eyeballs in his head, but I could tell instinctively that he was looking straight at me.
If you go beyond the author, now the bowl of God was right in front of you. As long as he took possession of the god’s vessel and holy relic, he could go back and help the comrades he left behind.
I slowly put my hand on the handle of the blue sword of despair Master gave me.
Horlu looked at me like that and spoke again.
[Is that bracelet a whole Immortalium?]
What he showed interest in was the Ceylon artifact that was nestled on my wrist. No, it was only natural that the Gold Man would be interested in Immortalium above all else.
If he noticed that all my bones were immortalium, he would want to rip my flesh and bones.
As I slowly began to close my distance from him without answering, Horlu stood still, looked at me, and started talking in a hum again.
[Why did you do these things?]
The distance with him was still a bit far. I answered without stopping.
“I have something to take from you.”
[Are you going to accept it? We owe you nothing. Marnac. No, you have nothing to do with us in the first place. Rather, we, who have been harmed by you, have something to take from you.]
“No, I came to take mine.”
A holy relic that sealed the mother’s divinity. For them to carry out such a large-scale plan with the holy relic of my mother’s divinity, to me, it was tantamount to heinous theft.
The power they use without knowing what they are is originally from the mother I serve.
But there was no need for detailed explanations. That explanation is too much for them.
[I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding you’re getting, but being a god’s vessel is not something an individual can handle in the first place. I don’t know what you’ve been told, but whatever you try to do with it, it will never get you the results you want. So just go back I won’t stop you if you go back…]
Kkaang!!!
The despair and the ink-colored bodies collided, and bright sparks flew out. A heavy feeling at the fingertips. It was clear that whatever dark metal that made up Horlu’s body was no ordinary kind of metal.
Horlu, who deflected despair with his bare hands or metal hands, took a posture that didn’t match his suit at all. The posture that anyone can see is the posture of a kwonbeopga.
Geumni tribe…? Well, since his entire body is made of metal, there’s no reason to use a cold weapon like a sword.
I bounced away lightly, then lowered myself so that I could jump out at any moment.
[The god of the lofty heavens walks with us on this land, stands shoulder to shoulder with us, looks directly into our eyes, and delivers his words. If you’re a priest, isn’t that the future you’d hope for? Why do you, as a priest, stop us? It doesn’t make sense to me.]
‘Murder!’
‘Because I already have it!’ Horlu was right in every word.
my mother is with me This fact alone enabled me to rise once again from the depths of my old frustration.
It was a small miracle and a great honor given to me.
That’s why I can’t forgive those who try to use their mother’s power at will.
“good. Thanks to you, I want to disturb you even more.”
[It’s true that we’re talking right now…]
Kkaang!!!
Horlu’s metal knives collided with despair. I hit despair without a break. He struck the ink-colored metal countless times, but there was not even the slightest scratch on the blue blade of despair. Of course, there were no big scratches on the dark metal that despair had beaten. Although it was definitely chipping away a little every time I bumped into it.
At this rate, no matter which god it was, it was clear that enough time would be dragged on to descend.
Horlu didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all, as if he knew that.
But there was a fact he was overlooking.
I didn’t come here alone.
I was waiting.
“yap!”
Purple-haired mischievous Pearly.
The well-woven white threads quickly intertwined with each other and captured the prey tightly. In a matter of seconds, Horlu hung dangling in the air like a worm caught in a cobweb.
Perley, who had completely overpowered Horlu, landed lightly next to me.
“Have you found your way?”
Pearly smiled broadly and shook her head.
“Isn’t there a rat hole here? It’s just the perfect lockroom! But you should have a rough idea of where the exit is…
”
Unpleasant sawtooth noise. The floor popped out with a ringing sound from within the thread cocoon. I quickly pulled Pearly. In the blink of an eye, dark metal brushed past Pearly’s body.
The identity of what protruded from the floor was a large metal fist.
[My hand is not limited to these two hands.]
Tuduk.
Horlu slowly walked out, tearing off the sticky cocoons. His violently moving cogs incessantly engulfed the threads, crushing and tearing them.
He said slowly, getting into position.
[This space itself is my realm. That’s why the name of my fist is the space fist!]
As he swung his fist into the air, a huge fist came out of the wall in line with the movement and attacked us.
The name Space Realm was cool in its own way, but this was not a skill developed by a real realm, but a technique that used the characteristics of one’s own race.
To be honest, I felt like shouting, ‘This is not martial law!’
[There is no blind spot in my sphere of space!]
As he punched the other side of the fist into the air, a dark metal fist protruded from the floor where I was dodging and slammed my side. Fortunately, Pearly was safe thanks to throwing Pearly with a short distance.
Hit by the massive sphere of space, my body flew through the air and landed on the floor.
“Cool.”
When I got up, a bloody cough came out.
When I saw my blood, I instantly became irritated and welled up. As the blood flowed to the top of my head, as usual, my reason sank more calmly than usual.
“Two.”
After spitting out the sticky blood in my mouth, I lowered my stance once more. Along with the divinity, the tattoo, glowing in a subtle dark green color, ran wildly over my body from my toes.
My power, Gate of Corruption, raised the state of my altered body to the limit. A heated sense of omnipotence soaked his brain.
“It doesn’t matter now whether it’s that space or not. From now on, I will turn your body and even the fists protruding from the wall into scrap metal and sell them to junk dealers as trash.”
Quaang!!!
I stopped the ink-colored fist that protruded through the wall with force. Thanks to the forcible blockage, a heavy shock resonated through my bones, but Horlu’s fist was blocked by me.
[Hmmm?]
I smiled while holding onto my fist protruding from the wall as I looked at the dark-colored sawtooth man.
“Selling it as a bonus, I hope that you will be reborn as a good can in your next life. Especially.”
