The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 232
Dark darkness.
A red light flashed in a space where no light could be seen.
At the same time, a hot breath burst from ‘it’.
It was invisible, but that alone gave a sense of its momentum and size.
it doesn’t move
I just sit quietly and gather my energy.
“…Hmm.”
After finishing the capture, it opened its mouth.
“Even if I found my true name, I wouldn’t be satisfied yet.”
However, finding the true name is not enough.
As the Great Devil, he will be able to intervene in reality, but… ….
Even if you find your true name, there will eventually be room for growth there too.
He knew that best.
Arioch from Tekken.
Even though he is a demon of gray blood, he is a great seeker who has risen to the same level as the lords who are born with the sins of pure blood.
It’s not called a seeker for nothing.
He enjoyed the ordeal.
In the first place, most of the cases in which the gray-blooded great devil needs to be in a ‘great family’ to rise to such a position.
But he was different.
As a ‘seeker’, he rose to the great devil with his own abilities.
Natural patience and concentration.
Those two things made him.
And that hasn’t changed much since coming to this old world.
training.
He trains himself through endless training.
Even after regaining his true name, it is no different.
crime? blood? What does it matter.
What matters is power.
How effectively do you stab the enemy in the vitals and make them incapacitated.
However, what he wants is not a simple win or loss.
An overwhelming gap to the point where you can definitively subdue your opponent and prove your own strength.
okay.
“I want the end of the quest.”
I repeated it to myself several times.
As a demon, he wanted beyond.
The end beyond one’s limits that can be reached somehow.
And there must be only one optimal way to reach the end.
‘A battle with the strong.’
To that end, he came to Garam, a place full of warriors.
The means don’t matter.
No matter how many humans are sacrificed, it’s none of your business.
After all, his quest is a path stained with blood and sacrifice.
“Soon the time will come.”
Satisfied with the red aura running through his body, he slowly raised himself.
Even in the dark, where there is nothing.
“…hmm.”
It is felt.
I can clearly feel the countless murderous intentions targeting me.
Are you related to the beast race that you crushed for the sake of salvation?
‘It doesn’t matter.’
If so, just crush it.
The more you kill strong warriors and make them your scapegoats, the higher your rank will be.
And the search is also… ….
“Come out.”
At that moment, in the darkness where there was nothing, white shining eyes flickered in various places.
Slowly, the surroundings brightened and the interior was revealed.
The inside revealed in this way was a huge hollow.
And a group of people tightly surrounding the gigantic Ariok.
“You blood lion!”
“Hmm, it’s got a weird nickname.”
Ariok scratched his chin.
Even though more than 100 people are tightly surrounding him, his face shows no agitation.
“I’ve felt it for a long time, but why the hell do you use such a useless title when addressing me?”
“Shut up, villain! I know you brutally murdered my father!”
It wasn’t just the beastman women who took the lead.
Those around him were glaring at him with enemy-filled eyes, holding weapons in their hands.
“I, Mi-ryeo of the Yan family, defeated my father’s enemies here…!”
“Is that so, is it an insignificant source of money?”
Ariok laughed.
Really, emotions are good to use.
Even if you kill just one guy, don’t you come back to ask to be killed in a row like this?
“What…!”
“Stop it. It’s a wish that won’t come true, so even if you hear it, it won’t mean anything.”
thud!
One step Ariok took a step with his right foot.
Then the whole area shakes dangerously and the air starts to settle down.
Everyone in the area held their breath.
It’s what everyone has been waiting for.
But even so, it felt like my heart would break in front of this monster’s momentum for an instant.
A predator was right in front of them.
In front of a predator, prey cannot dare to resist.
The predator laughed, showing sharp teeth.
“Come on, then.”
Ariok moved with a smile that smelled like blood.
And the next day,
news spread that one of the great families, Yeonga, had collapsed in Garam.
* * *
“Well comfortable.”
I laughed as I weaved together the bandits that had become porridge and dragged them along.
No matter what time it is, it feels very good to do justice.
“Oh, you devilish bastard….”
Chaeju, who was being dragged away trembling, told me.
“Khehehe, did you think you could persecute us like this and still be fine? As members of Green Forest, Green Forest will never forgive anyone who hurts its comrades… ….”
“Ah, Mikhail, is it over?”
At that time, Ariandel dragged something with a bright expression on his face.
It was difficult to properly identify the shape as the face was covered in blood, but it appeared to be human.
At that time, the owner of the wild vegetable caught by me screamed in surprise.
“Four death sentences?!”
It seems that I was acquainted with Chaeju of the wild vegetables I wiped out.
“Do you know me?”
“Why is the third brother who is one of the best heroes in Noh Green Forest… ….”
“What kind of a hero is a bandit?”
I looked at him because it was ridiculous, and he looked at me in a cold sweat.
“That’s it….”
At a cursory glance, it seems that the bandits captured by Ariandel were quite a eater even in this ‘green forest’.
At that time, Chae-joo shouted, having regained her mind through mental victory.
“Haha! Buy it doesn’t matter! The third death penalty caught now is actually the weakest! Greening is stronger than that… ….”
thud!
The butler sat down on the ground.
Bandits hung between the muscular bodies.
Chae-joo screamed as if she was ready.
“Two two second death penalty!”
“It’s a step up.”
I don’t know what the butler caught this time, but he seems to be a higher figure anyway.
Unfortunately, Chae-ju’s ordeal did not end there.
“came!”
“Ahhh, the dialogue type!”
“As expected, the battle with the ‘strong man’….”
“Keeeeek!”
Seeing even the gigantic bandit that Lian had captured, he collapsed with foam at the mouth as if he had no energy to be surprised.
What the hell is he going to do?
…Whatever.
“Looking at it, it seems that all the guys who looted this time are famous guys, and I think this is enough.”
“A guy with a name? I don’t think I’m strong for something like that.”
Lian frowned as she looked at the bandit she had captured.
Judging from the general atmosphere, it seems that Lian was the winner.
Chae-joo’s reaction was the most intense.
“Ha, aren’t we strong?”
Grinding his teeth, he glared at Lian.
“You guys are unusually strong, monsters! Fuck, even if you go inside the garam right now, we’ll eat it… …!”
“Some people say you’re a monster.”
Fuck!
“Cuck!”
I hit the guy on the head who was trying to say something more and looked around.
I don’t know, but the power of green forest that they are proud of is probably not that small.
According to them, they belonged to the axis with quite a bit of skill… ….
“So, at your level, how much do you think you are in Garam?”
“Ha, don’t be surprised.”
The guy laughed and shouted.
“I am among the top 500 warriors of Garam….”
“Oh, that’s fucking bullshit.”
“What is a bandit like?”
“hey!!”
He shouted with an expression of regret.
“I am the 499th ranked Nokrimseosaeng, and I am a strong person who is recognized by Garam quite well!”
“Wow, even 499th place.”
“I’ll turn, really.”
Ranking 499 doesn’t feel like eating more than I thought. I thought it would be 410th just because I was in the top 500.
“If you have a real conscience, just say that you are ranked 499th. What is the real 500th me? 500th me.”
“hey! Do you know what the population of Garam is! That’s over 10,000! If you rank 499 among them… ….”
“It’s just a miserable level.”
“No, that dog…!”
“and.”
I said, beating Wang-pal or Wang-chil, who was shouting with foam at the mouth, with a staff.
Fuck! puck! Puff!
“If you eat like that, oh! Someone should do something legal!”
“Ah! It was bone-to-bone!”
“A bandit’s bones are meant to be fucking broken!”
The king arm or something that had been beaten like that for a long time suddenly rolled on the ground shedding sorrowful tears.
“Ugh dog…cubs… ….”
“Hey Wangchil.”
“It’s a king arm! It’s a royal arm!”
Well, the bandit’s name isn’t particularly important, anyway.
“Yes, King. Whatever.”
“Wangpal!”
“Okay, King. If you catch my horse like this, you can go down to the king’s day. Then what happens when you get to zero?”
I patted my head with a staff member and said.
“Life becomes zero. I understand?”
“…yes.”
ok good attitude
Satisfied, I patted Wang Oh on the shoulder and said,
“Okay, so what about Garam?”
“…Is it just always like that? I hear stories of warriors who challenge and defeat the Beast King every day.”
So far it’s as expected.
And at least it didn’t look like he challenged the Beast King.
If so, the main point.
“Are there any blood messengers currently active in Garam?”
“…hmm? How do you know?”
You are active.
Okay. I’m guessing so far.
Blood Lion Ariok.
He is the great devil of Tekken and has a personality close to a peculiar kind.
Now is the time when he is called a blood lion and is building his reputation.
It would be nice if the problem could be solved by revealing that he was the ‘great devil’, but it wouldn’t be that easy.
…Even if you are a demon, if you are a warrior, you are qualified to challenge the king.
Inhumanity, race has nothing to do with it.
There is only martial arts.
It’s a concept that most people don’t understand, but the beastmen of Garam took it for granted.
‘There are two options.’ I annihilate
the first
Ariok before he challenges the Beast King.
But I shook my head.
I don’t know about anything else, but at least it’s hard for me to annihilate Ariok in Garam.
In order to annihilate him within Garam, it must be related to martial arts.
And, unfortunately, magic did not fall under that martial arts.
Of course, I can’t say that there’s no way to annihilate Ariok if I use all kinds of tricks… ….
And if that happens, there will probably be a high probability of losing Chuck with ‘Garam’.
This isn’t a good way.
secondly by the way.
Unlike before the return, it makes the Beast King win against Ariok.
Fair and fair as a martial art.
In fact, I was thinking of following this in the first place.
The first method is a method that should be used only when the situation is at its worst.
Having come to a rough conclusion, I immediately asked Wang Oh.
“Recent news about the blood lion?”
“…Well, so there was a saying that the Yan family, the great family of the Miao tribe, was entangled in a relationship with a blood lion and a silver yuan, and then went extinct. It’s not that there aren’t other families that were destroyed by the blood lions, but there weren’t any great families.”
“Hmm….”
It means that they are running wild just as they did before returning.
Having already done something to the great family means that we are quite close to the right to challenge the king.
…I have less time than I thought.
It came pretty quickly, but it seems it wasn’t enough.
“Are you here for the blood lion?”
“I don’t know about that.”
After that, I asked him for a few more details.
Is it the time when the blood messenger came out in earnest?
and….
“The family name that was attacked by a blood lion. Are there any survivors among them?”
“Survivor…You mean?”
Wang Oh frowned and seemed to think for a moment.
Then, belatedly, he shouted as if he remembered.
“ah! I remembered! The love song of the great family of the Miao tribe that I just mentioned! It was destroyed, but I heard that there is one survivor left.”
“Hoo….”
One way or another, I must oppose Ariok and stand in his way.
However, even for that blocking, a reason is needed.
‘Eunwon relationship.’
…Yeah, there’s no clearer reason than that.
I said, looking at Wang Oh, who was looking at me with an expression that I didn’t know why.
“A while ago, I asked why you came here?”
“uh…Yes it was.”
“I came because of that love song.”
“…yes?”
I looked at the guy with a bewildered expression and said it again.
“Didn’t you hear? You said you came all the way here to settle Yeon-ga’s unfair grudge.”
Yes, the important thing is the cause.
therefore.
“We are the representatives of the Yan family.”
Let’s make sure to use it.
