Episode 1271. So you’re saying it’s a curse? Are you saying it’s poison?
Elio and the others decided to go down to the desert.
It was because there was still time before sunset and there was no fear of surprise on the way down the mountain.
Even though I decided to go down the mountain, no one moved willingly.
At that time, Tynlock’s stomach growled.
Belatedly, Elio realized that he hadn’t eaten anything since he entered the Abyss.
“Oh, we haven’t had lunch yet! Should I eat something and move?”
Then Fabian spoke as if he had been waiting.
“There is no water because it is at the top of the mountain. I think I need something simple to eat rather than cooking.”
“Something like an energy ball?”
“Good. By the way, are there any energy balls left?”
“uh.”
With his words, Elio took out a box containing energy balls from Mahadam (space warehouse).
An exclamation of exclamation flowed from Fabian’s mouth when he saw that.
“no! When did you take care of that? I forgot a lot in the empire… did you have one box left?”
“There is still a lot left.”
“and! Isn’t that enough for stealing munitions?”
“It’s not stealing, it’s sweeping up what’s thrown away. Everyone said they didn’t eat until I got the energy balls.”
That’s true.
The energy balls were made from discarded ingredients, so the knights in the Hirhera Garrison were reluctant to eat them.
It became fashionable for a while after Elio and Fabian took care of it, but that didn’t last long either.
It was because the food situation in Hirhera Garrison wasn’t bad, so there was no reason to pack energy balls.
Energy balls that were shunned by the knights ended up being sent as livestock feed along with leftovers.
Elio was the one who took it as soon as he had the chance.
Fearing that Fabian would make fun of me, I said ‘I have a lot left’, but in reality I had ‘a lot’ left.
Anyway, the late lunch was solved with the energy ball Elio took out.
Merdef, who was chewing on the energy ball, asked Tynelock lightly.
“Did Tyinlock know that the Lagoa adventurer was a wizard?”
“You knew.”
“Seeing that you have a subspace, you must be a high-ranking wizard?”
“Perhaps.”
Tynlock glanced at Count Helio Lagoa.
A ‘savage’ who rose to the position of Grand Master as a magic swordsman at such a young age…
He seems to be living alone in another world.
Seeing how the saintess who joined from the forgotten temple treats him is unusual.
He was a man out of the common sense of this world.
Merdef’s voice was heard in Tynlock’s ears as he shook his head.
“A wizard with a sub-space large enough to require no wagon or porter…. Even if I told the other mercenaries, they wouldn’t believe it. Even I, who says this, is still in a state of doubt.”
Tinelock was about to say, ‘You’ll see more amazing things in the future.’
It was the same savage, but the comparison was too much, so I couldn’t bear to say it.
After a while, Elio’s group descended the mountain.
Elio, who was walking along the mountain path with a bored face, asked Luna Mylus sneakily.
“Do you think it makes sense that the rest of us are stressing out for your sister’s pleasure?”
“I wouldn’t say no at all, but it wouldn’t be to the point of hallucinations or hallucinations.”
“Yes? Could it be the curse of the Abyss?”
“Or, as you said, it may be for unknown reasons.”
“From your point of view, is the air in the Abyss and the outside world different? I wouldn’t feel much of a difference.”
“That’s because you’re a Reiki practitioner.”
“yes?”
Elio glanced at Luna Mylus at the unexpected answer.
‘Is the quality of the air different?’
But Luna Mylus just laughed and didn’t explain.
Elio didn’t ask more, thinking it was because of his specialness.
Even while going down the mountain, there were gold lines in places.
Every time he saw the golden rope, Elio asked Fabian, ‘Did you find the herb?’
After going down the mountain, Elio and his party waited for the sun to set at the edge of the forest.
As dusk fell, Fabian approached Count Elio Lagoa.
“why? You want to go?”
“More than that. I thought it would be better to explore the surroundings and move.”
“You want to explore? I have to go straight into the desert, but it’s going to be difficult, right?”
“You can’t just go, can you? In the morning, the mercenaries even fired magic guns from behind. We have to check to see if they caught up.”
“wait.”
Elio radiated aura through Mount Parton.
But for some reason, when he reached the middle of the mountain, Yeong-gi did not go any further.
Normally, it would have covered the whole of Mount Parton with aura.
Elio, who had retrieved his aura, tilted his head.
“Why is that?”
“I released aura and looked around the mountain… There are no people halfway up the mountain.”
“Then it’s safe. Let’s go.”
Fabian forgot Elio asked why he tilted his head and went back to the adventurers.
Luna Mylus asked as Elio looked embarrassed.
“Is there anything on your mind?”
“I radiated aura, but it only went halfway up the mountain. I could have sent it to the top if I used more strength, but I was reluctant for some reason, so I just retrieved it.”
“I see.”
Elio is quite serious, but Luna Mylus’ face is insignificant.
“Is that mountain special? Or is the Abyss like that?”
“If that mountain were special, it wouldn’t even be a safe zone. Because the monsters and demons wouldn’t have just watched.”
“You mean it’s an Abyss problem?”
“That’s it.”
“Why is it so difficult to write Reiki?”
“That’s also the answer to the bet you made with Fabian.”
“Abyss curse?”
“Foot! That’s what therapists say.”
“You mean it’s not a curse?”
“There is a famous saying in the world we used to live in. Too much medicine can be poison.”
“Poison?”
“Whoops! It’s not poison, but like poison, it will bring bad results. No matter how good it is, if you overdo it, it will be like that. Do you see what I mean?”
“I don’t know? So you’re saying it’s a curse? Are you saying it’s poison?”
Even at Elio’s urging, Luna Mylus only smiled round and round and did not give an answer.
“What is it?”
“You will realize sooner or later. If you realize that, you might become a real god.”
“Ah what do you mean by that? What is the name of the dog next door?”
“Anyway, try to find out by studying yourself. Don’t bet too much. Understand?”
Along with the horse, Luna Mylus blinked her eyes.
Elio didn’t ask for an answer any longer.
Because Luna Mylus is as much a person who keeps her word as she is.
But I could figure out one thing with my eyes.
‘Don’t you like to bet? It seems to be far from the curse of the Abyss. Then what the hell is it?’
Elio’s party finally entered the desert.
At first, I moved quickly to get away from the mountain, but it didn’t last long.
I slowed down like a turtle as my feet sank into the soft sand.
To make matters worse, even two moons rose overhead.
When the surroundings became as bright as daylight, Fabian shouted at Merdef in the lead.
“Merdef! The Falcon Mercenary Corps also moved at night to avoid being attacked! What’s the use of night when it’s so bright! If you have a mouth, speak!”
Then, like a strong mercenary, Merdef replied without losing.
“Don’t worry! The moonlight is bright, but it’s still not like daytime! It looks good up close, but from a distance it doesn’t look as good as it does in broad daylight!”
“Can I believe that?”
“Believe me!”
“Believe! Damn why is the sand so weak? It looks like you are going to plow a field.”
As Fabian grumbled nonstop, Elio, worse off, said a word.
“Fabian! Stop whining! Still, it’s better than going to the northern snow fields!”
“Snow field is better. I feel like I’m going crazy because I have sand between my toes.”
“Does the sand go crazy? In Hirhera, you said that your toes would freeze to death. It’s better to go crazy than to die. So shut up!”
Only then did Fabian shut his mouth.
To be honest, walking on the sand was better than walking on the snow.
Strangely, the sand of the Abyss desert dug deep into his ankles with every step he took.
Fabian’s comment that it felt like plowing a field was not an exaggeration.
As a result, the consumption of physical strength was so severe that Elio and the others had to stop and go repeatedly.
Had it been like that for two hours?
As Elio and the others got used to the Abyss Desert, something they were concerned about happened.
pop! pop! Pew-!
Suddenly, the sound of a magic gun resonated in the quiet desert.
Elio’s party immediately sat down when an eerie sound pierced the atmosphere.
Shut! Wedge-!
Elio frowned.
The familiar sound of the magic gun somehow reminded me of the raid at the entrance to the Abyss.
Then Fabian’s cry was heard from the front.
“Sir Lagoa! Hearing the sound of the magic gun, it’s like gnomes in the morning! What should I do!”
I tried to kill someone, so I have to wash away my sins with my life.
Elio jumped up from his seat and turned around.
“Sir Omar! There may be more enemies, so stay here and protect the people! I’ll go… ugh!”
With a frustrated moan, Elio stepped back.
The magic bullet hit her chest.
“Such a dog…”
Elio, who was about to curse, hesitated.
In the morning, I only felt shock, but now I feel hot.
Unknowingly, Elio’s eyes widened as he groped for his chest.
Are your breasts damp as if you were wet?
I hurriedly raised my hand in front of my face, and the smell of blood rushed in.
Suddenly, Duke Cillian Hale’s words came to mind.
―Fifty years ago during the Imperial War, the Mage Tower conceived of a destructive weapon to end the war. It’s called Excitium, and it’s a terrible magic bullet developed to kill the sword masters of the southern kingdom.
This, too, was evidently the magic bullet he had hit during the duel with Marquis Gosling Knauf.
“Excitium?”
Then, once again, a great shock was delivered to the shoulders and stomach.
However, Elio did not fall.
Rather, he glared at the sand dunes of the desert he had passed through with furious eyes.
“Is this a weapon made in the Mage Tower?”
There is no way ordinary robbers would have weapons made in the Mage Tower to kill the Sword Master.
“These bastards! Die!”
Enraged, Elio maxed out his self-defense skills and ran forward.
But where does the world go according to people’s will?
Suddenly, the sound of dozens of magic guns was heard from the sand dunes on the left and right.
Popupung-! Puff puff puff puff—!
‘Puck-puck!’ Sand splashed into the sky around the sound and Elio.
A large number of magic bullets missed, but not a few magic bullets hit Elio’s body directly.
Elio, who was staggering with blood all over his body, raised his longsword to the sky.
Hundreds of billions of ‘incarnations of swords’ filled the night sky of Abyss.
It is the Thousand Mountain Sword Spirit.
As Elio drew his longsword down, the ‘incarnation of the sword’ that had been stuck like stars fell down.
The surrounding sand dunes, which had risen in a circle, collapsed in an instant and became a flat land.
