Episode 206
Episode 67. Legacy of the witch Heluram (2)
August 15, 1797.
Jin and his party were standing in the middle of the Black Sea, staring blankly at the map.
Ten days have already passed since we arrived at the Black Sea. The number of monsters he had killed by tearing, cutting, or beating had exceeded 300, and the food to use when going back was getting close.
There is nothing edible for people in the Black Sea.
Since Jin has Mandokju, there is no problem with eating monsters, and Murakan and Quikantel are dragons, so you can just eat less toxic species, but no one in the world wants to eat monsters.
“Even with a damn map, finding your way isn’t normal. Why can’t I see the stone pillar shown here? It seems to be around here. Isn’t this map wrong?”
“I’ve been looking for you so far, so it must be the right map. There’s no way my father and the former Dark Knights made it clumsily.”
“I can’t check it by flying, and it’s frustrating.”
In the Black Sea, except for a few types of monsters, even dragons could not fly at high altitudes. It was because deadly poison that melted even dragon scales like chocolate poured from the dark clouds that covered the sky.
If it was a land where dragons could fly, there would be no need for the former Dark Knights to work so hard to make a map.
“And that stone pillar somehow looks like that? Unlike the others, this stone pillar marked on the map had a circle drawn nearby.”
Jin said, pointing with his finger at the pit in front.
It was a huge pit, as if the moon had sat down and risen. It was a depth that seemed to easily exceed 100 meters at first glance, and a stone pillar stood tall in the middle.
The map Vanessa gave to Jin was ‘initial’. Even that was a map that was difficult to read even for those who were fully proficient in the Dokdo method because there were many parts of the map that intentionally concealed information.
“Hmm, that seems right.”
“Hi-go-oh, how did you get down that way? I am not myself.”
“Don’t worry, Jet. Going down is easy.”
Poison clouds are only in the sky. The party went down on the Murakan, which had transformed into its true form.
The pillar seen up close was bigger than I thought. And unlike the party’s thoughts, it wasn’t an ordinary stone pillar.
nest. The stone pillar was the huge nest of the flying monster ‘Kolgia’ that lived in the Black Sea.
“Kieack!”
“Keeik!”
Suddenly, cracks in the stone pillars opened up, and a group of Colgias screamed. It seemed that there were hundreds of birds that covered the sky black in an instant.
Jin and Casimir quickly drew their weapons, but Quikantel raised his hand, saying that would not be the case.
“Stay still. Murakan will take care of it.”
[Dare…]
Murakan gathering breath with his eyes shining. The darkness gathering between the gaping muzzles was ready to shoot forward at any moment.
Thanks to Jin’s aura, Murakan has become incomparably stronger than when he first woke up.
Chiing…!
At the same time, more than 50% of Colgia disappeared without a trace. Even Jin looked at Murakan, startled by its power, while Casimir and Jett opened their mouths.
For an instant, the whole area was plunged into darkness.
It wasn’t that the expression was like that, but the rest of the colleagues except for Jin were actually realizing that their eyesight had gone dark.
The aura of their breath completely covered the inside of the pit they were standing in.
Even the Colgias, who were not touched by the first breath, were being torn apart in the darkness. The Colgias, which appeared vigorously without even a small piece of flesh falling to the floor, soon disappeared without a trace.
“That guy wasn’t called the strongest in the past for nothing.”
As soon as the spirit lifted, Quikantel clapped his hands. Casimir and Jett also follow her with their gaping mouths unable to close.
“Hmm, compared to the heyday, the new feet are sebum.”
“Is this the new leg of the piragup show? I just couldn’t believe my eyes. I wondered if it was Murakan-nim who joked with us every day. Sir Casimir, isn’t it?”
“Uh uh… that’s right. No, but Mr. Murakan. You have this kind of power, so why did you let me and Quikantel kill almost all monsters?”
“Are you questioning me now?”
“no. I just did it because it was cool.”
“It’s strange, the speed at which the power returns is too slow compared to how strong the little guy is…” Whether
Casimir and Jet were surprised or not, Murakan licked his lips as if disapproving of the power of the breath he had just opened.
“Even if your heart was smashed, isn’t that enough to make you come back well?”
“The little guy’s spirituality has reached 6 stars, so shouldn’t my strength come back to about 60%?”
“You ask for too much. You should be grateful that you are still breathing.”
“I need to find out. It’s definitely a slower recovery than I thought.”
“Then look for your sister.”
“Ha, I don’t want to run into that at all.”
“What are you saying?”
While Murakan and Quikantel were wrestling with each other, Jin and his colleagues looked at the map.
“According to the map, we have to cross the gorge and cross the river marked Molos here. Then it arrives. If we walk closely, we should be able to reach it by tonight. If the monsters appear similarly to the past.”
“Then let’s aim to arrive by tonight and go and let Jin sleep well for the night. I don’t know what kind of monsters in Helluram are, so I’ll have to face them in the best possible condition. You told me to take it down?”
Fortunately, no monsters appeared when passing through the canyon or crossing the Molos River.
It was because the monsters living nearby had the perception that they would ‘die’ if they came near the Molos River.
The perception that Shiron and the former Dark Knights had been killing the monsters in the area for a long time to manage the monsters in Helluram.
The party moved forward comfortably without knowing that fact. Thanks to this, Jin and his colleagues were able to reach their destination around evening.
Facing them was a kind of forest.
“forest?”
As is known to the public, there are no trees on the Black Sea. It was only known as a land made up of rocks, volcanoes, poisonous swamps and rivers.
But that was the wrong story.
There were many forests in the Black Sea. The forest they are looking at now is only one of them, and there were more than ten forests marked on the map the Black Knight made.
Of course, it was completely different from the forest outside. The thorns of the thorns, which were all poisonous, were sharper than the tips of spears, and their leaves had ‘snouts’.
The thorns were spread out tightly, leaving only enough space for one person to pass through.
“Hee!”
Jet thoughtlessly approached the tree at the forest entrance and backed away. He saw the leaf that had come down to his chest and opened its snout to reveal its sharp fangs. Kang! When the muzzle was closed, there was the sound of swords clashing.
If I had even put my finger on it… I got goosebumps at the thought of that.
“What is it that there are all these bizarre forests? Do I have to send you into that place alone?”
“Look at me.”
Quikantel passed Jet and into the woods. She casually broke the thorns with her fist and burned the leaves with her magic.
However, it wasn’t long before he used up his 50,000 prizes and returned to where his colleagues were.
“Even if you go inside a little bit, it is full of poison. Mandokju or equivalent tolerance is required to be active. Just like Vanessa said. I’m upset. What kind of monster lives in a place like that?”
The party still couldn’t infer the identity of the monster Heluram had raised. The monsters she raised were not one or two, and most of them were killed by powerful people or dragons of the time.
“No matter what, the kid is a monster that can be defeated, so he must have given me a map. But I don’t know what kind of reward I can get for killing a monster. Is it my end? It is of no use to humans.”
The inside of the monster is treated as an elixir for dragons, but it has no effect on humans.
“Are you saying that Jin is a monster that can win? How is Jin going to catch a monster with an inner secret?”
It was common for dragons to form a subjugation party to deal with a monster with an inner secret. Also, such monsters had ego and intelligence, so they hid away from people’s eyes.
“Well, that’s right. Anyway Jet! Set up a tent and prepare a meal. Even if I eat less when I go home, I have to make sure to feed the kid tonight and tomorrow morning. You know what I mean?”
“I will use dry meat and meat powder.”
“We still don’t have enough food, so there’s no need to do that.”
“I and Quikantel will be there hunting and eating monsters, so don’t worry and eat.”
early the next morning.
The friends decided to wait for Jin in front of the forest, and Jin prepared some magic for the fight.
And he took a stride into the woods. After cutting down the thorns with the sword and lighting the fire with magic, there was no big problem in getting ahead.
‘This is where the miasma begins.’
From the area where miasma begins, there are not as many thorn trees as in the beginning. Instead, I felt breathless due to the thick miasma, but without Mandokju, I would not have been able to last even a minute.
I walked for a while. The interior of the forest had a fairly unusual structure.
It seemed to be a mixture of plains and forests. There is a plain with perfectly round, artificially cut rocks rolling around, and if you pass that, the thorn forest starts again, and then the plain comes out… It was a
forest that was compartmentalized in that way.
Plains and forests with rolling boulders. Jin naturally walked while thinking about the difference between the two zones.
‘Why are they so segregated? Was it the black knight who rounded the rock? But why did you cut it off?’
Even if the trees were derived from the nature of the Black Sea, the round rocks seemed useless.
Is it something used for some sort of ritual?
I moved forward with all kinds of imagination. It’s been three hours since I entered the forest, but I couldn’t see any monsters, and it was full of round rocks and terrible thorns.
In the meantime, I inadvertently looked down and saw something I hadn’t seen before.
‘…This?’
it was hair
Thick, black, and soft enough to be out of place in this venom-filled thorn forest. Jin naturally followed the hair that had fallen on the floor and oriented himself.
And when I found the 15th plains.
Jin was able to realize who made the ‘Round Rock’ and what purpose it was being used for.
[Miyaang.]
In the middle of the plain, a cat was rolling a rock and playing. However, the problem was that unlike the real cat, it had a body similar to that of Murakan, who transformed into his true form.
It was the witch Heluram’s cat.
