Episode 146
One month later.
Callius, who had been fussing around, finally got up from his seat.
“You guys can rest now.”
[Yes.]
[Then, call me again.]
Seeing Niol and Garcia, the nobles who turned into smoke and permeated their swords, Callius climbed the stairs.
one month.
For a month in the basement of the tower, Colius increased his holy power greatly and checked the rewards, capturing the overall energy.
Thanks to this, most of the food in subspace was consumed, but it was necessary.
mournful fall.
The rewards you get for defeating Titeo are as follows.
< Goblin Gold Coin X 5 >
< Sorrowful Mother's Egg >
‘First of all, goblin gold coins.’
At least 5 came in at once.
It would be nice to visit the place where the goblins are hiding.
There are seven in total, so the time has come for them to be able to exchange for appropriate artifacts or elixirs.
‘Since I know the location… it wouldn’t be bad to drop by.’
And next.
< Egg of the Sorrowful Mother >
“I don’t know.”
It’s clear that you don’t know all the items.
Because he definitely didn’t make all the settings and designs himself.
But this time I was quite embarrassed.
“I thought the tower’s reward would definitely not be very different from what I set.”
Aside from the gold coins, I have no idea what < Sorrowful Mother's Egg > is.
Callius was immediately taken out of subspace.
It’s about the size of a troll’s head.
Quite a bit bigger than expected.
I didn’t feel any energy, and I thought it was an egg, but I couldn’t detect life.
< The Egg of the Sorrowful Mother >
“Is it because it is a dead egg?”
Looking at the weight, it seems to have something in it, but it is probably dead.
It’s almost like a name, so there’s little to feel.
‘This looks like a dragon egg.’
Other than that, there are few eggs as large as this one.
Or a gigantic bird-type monster.
“It has no meaning.”
because it’s already dead
why did you give me this
I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I’m not sure.
“Is it edible?”
I was conflicted for a while, but I put it in a subspace.
It wouldn’t be bad to hold off for a while and seek advice rather than making a decision based on easy judgment.
‘Anyone who would know this.’
A giant called the embodiment of wisdom.
Or a goblin seeking knowledge.
If they do, they will know.
“Let’s go up first. Are you tired of this place too?”
Colleas’ steps were light as he strode up the stairs.
Physical ability that has risen about twice as much as before.
The body was as light as a feather.
tall. Colleas, who had been running as if flying, stopped.
Stairs between the 2nd and 3rd floors. It was because of the skeleton sitting there.
“It’s a skeleton I don’t remember.”
Basically just a landscape.
But now he must have been a living, breathing human being.
The skeleton remains, so if you have a soul, you can make it into an iron knight.
“Shall we try it?”
Anyway, he was the one who defeated Vlady.
It’s enough to defeat a general-level Vlady, so if he survives, he’ll be at least an elite knight.
“There are no restrictions.”
Nothing bad.
Bringing out the Iron Lord from subspace, Callius aimed his sword at the skeleton.
“Wake up.”
hooked
The bones of a broken skeleton.
Soon, a drop of black tear fell from the sword.
A whirlwind rises with the divine power of Colius and an iron knight arises. Takes a lot more holy power than expected. I wondered if it was like this originally, so I narrowed my eyebrows, and soon a full-fledged knight appeared and bowed my head.
[I will serve you as my lord.]
“Hmm?”
At least I thought it was an elite knight.
Isn’t that what the general class was made for?
The window called the general floating above his head raised the corner of Colius’ mouth.
“It was an unexpected windfall.”
Well, he himself had raised his shield and attacked his weak points against Vlady, and others would not have known that.
“What is your name?”
[I don’t remember. If possible, I hope the lord will name it.]
Can’t even remember the name.
Callius ponders for a moment.
“Let’s use Agato.”
It’s the tower of Agatodo, Agato.
[I will thank you.]
A face enveloped in gray air currents.
A helmet and armor were worn over it.
gray sword.
「Agato」
Position: General
– A knight who fought and won against Vlady, the skeleton knight who could be called the first gateway, but fell into eternal sleep due to the temptation of the stairs that made him fall asleep.
However, due to the Iron Lord, he was reborn as an Iron Knight.
‘The general level is thirteen now.’
The sword will become more powerful if it is grown through many battles.
After canceling Agato’s summons, Callius suddenly took out the < Sorrowful Mother's Egg >.
“What will happen if I turn this into an iron knight?”
A question that suddenly came to mind.
What if this is really a dragon egg and contains a dead dragon’s offspring?
‘The iron lord can make and grow the dead into iron knights.’
If so, would this egg be possible?
Callius’ talent.
Instinctive intuition says.
That’s the only reason why this egg came out as Titeo’s reward!
“Wake up.”
Callies didn’t hesitate.
When I stabbed it with the iron lord, it was like making Agato, but a more intense air current swept through the area.
Half of Callius’ divine power was completely drained, and the shell of the egg was shattered.
Quaang!
All the eggs cracked and an explosion occurred, and an existence wrapped in black airflow and gray divine power appeared.
“Oh…”
The scales are gray.
However, the dragon covered with densely covered black iron armor.
A dragon with two wings, four legs, and two large horns.
It was slightly larger than a horse, but the atmosphere it gave off and the majesty of iron armor all over the body were amazing.
“It’s an ironclad dragon. very.”
belt ring.
「Iron Armored Dragon」
Position: Elite Knight
– An immature dragon who was not yet born.
The dragon who abandoned the dead eggs in the battle against the sadly crying corruption still remembers the grudge of that time.
Reborn as the Iron Lord.
The potential is great.
“The name has become ironclad dragon. Is it because of what I said?”
[Kkik]
It seemed like he couldn’t say anything properly yet. It was a natural thing to say since he was no different from a newborn baby.
The ironclad dragon squeaked and tilted its head, then chewed up all the eggshells it had cracked.
“Your energy has grown stronger.”
Is it because the only things related to life are egg shells?
The energy he gave off increased in an instant.
[Kwaaaa!]
Kwaaaaang!!
black and gray. And the dragon’s power turned into a wave and erupted explosively.
An unbelievable spear appeared in the eyes of Colius, who grabbed the sword with startled eyes as if something was wrong.
[Iron Armored Dragon has evolved.]
「Iron Armored Dragon」
Position: General
– An immature dragon that was not yet born.
The dragon who abandoned the dead eggs in the battle against the sadly crying corruption still remembers the grudge of that time.
Reborn as the Iron Lord.
The potential is great.
“crazy.”
Evolved into a general level by eating an eggshell.
It was twice as big as before.
The claws were sharpened like a sword, the teeth and horns became thicker, and the aura that exudes dragon power was included.
“Good.”
Even though he has quite ferocious energy, when Callius takes his hand, he rubs his face as if he was waiting.
Bibi looked sad when she saw it, but she was not there.
“You still can’t speak.”
[Kikkik?]
It seems like I didn’t learn anything.
However, the inherent characteristic of dragons is the strong energy that they put on their bodies as soon as they are born.
Even that alone is powerful, but since the body is covered with iron armor, I have no idea how high it will rise if it grows gradually.
It might go beyond the rank of general and grow by breaking through the rank of general.
“Still, if your name is just an ironclad dragon, you’re not very affectionate. Should I use Beatty?”
Beatitu too.
It is a Latin word meaning happiness.
Beo means to make happy, and Atitudo means attitude or attitude.
It also means to bring happiness with an attitude or mindset.
It must have been an egg, but its name was < Sorrowful Mother's Egg >, and it was an immature dragon that died in an egg without being born.
It didn’t mean that I had survived properly, but it meant that I should be happy even in the life I got again.
[Kik! Caing!]
「Iron Armored Dragon – Beatty」
Rank: General
– An immature dragon who was not yet born.
The dragon who abandoned the dead eggs in the battle against the sadly crying corruption still remembers the grudge of that time.
Reborn as the Iron Lord.
The potential is great.
“Go back.”
Perhaps because of its high potential, it has the disadvantage of having a higher consumption power than the general general level, but it was not a disadvantage.
After canceling the Ironclad Dragon’s summons, Callius put his chin on his chin and pondered a little.
“It’s been a long time since I bought the dragon’s wrath because of Gwangryong anyway.”
Since the dead dragon was resurrected, the dragons would be very angry if they saw this. Besides, it looked like Titeo got it from killing a dragon in the first place.
[You have earned the resentment of the dragons.]
[Rumors about the dragons gradually spread among the dragons.]
“…I need to get a dragon slayer sword.”
* * *
Sahara Holy Land. Agato too.
A bizarre place where priests spread their stalls and sell their wares.
Familiar faces were there one after another.
“Buy, buy! It’s a lizard’s tail pickled in brine, haha!”
A member of a multi-ethnic party that even served as the chief of the Yongin tribe.
It was Philomatur.
His tail had been cut off a little, and he was probably selling his own tail.
Because it was a part of the body, it contained some holy power, so it sold well to pilgrims who lacked food.
“If the Yongin people saw this, they would really be devastated. Hahahaha!”
“Shut up… you can’t help it. Because I have nothing to sell.”
Aldu laughed for a long time looking at the tail.
Aldu was no different.
Claiming to be a dwarf, he was earning Holy Stones by repairing pilgrims’ weapons or sharpening blades.
They suffered defeat on the 24th and 30th floors respectively.
It was only Serena who was still struggling at the top.
“Callis went up to what floor, but she couldn’t even see her nose poke. Inspiration.”
“Wouldn’t it have crossed at least the 50th floor? After coming to the Holy Land, I have never seen her face.”
“As expected…”
Unlike them, he was a great man.
Philo once again grew in respect for him and a flood of pity for his situation.
“Another guest is coming.”
Then a pilgrim began to approach them.
A man wearing a pure white robe.
“hmm?”
But somewhere, the impression is familiar.
“What are you doing here?”
The pilgrim’s hood comes off.
Wind-blown black hair and Jae-an looked down at them.
“Why are you here?”
He was Callius, who had just come up from the underground.
