Chapter 657 Chapter
167. The light from the blade of the veil in the fifth tomb of Temar (1)
was gradually changing into a ‘door’-like shape. The speed at which the door formed was exactly proportional to the infusion of aura.
Sandra made a fuss about this, saying that this was the power of desire, and Hedo looked at his sword and the door alternately with a bewildered face.
‘…As Black Dragon Murakan said, did you really mean that the veil was related to the old Runcandel or Solderlet?’
The long sword that Hedo got by chance a long time ago had the word Veil engraved on its blade.
-You… that sword. where did you get it from?
-You’re asking a strange question, black dragon. And I’ve heard from those who experienced your inaction on the Gaifa Islands before, it wasn’t like this.
-Take good care of that sword. Apparently, it seems to have a story with Murakan. let’s go kid
On the day Jin’s group first encountered Hedo at the Tower of Midnight Sun, Murakan suffered from a headache as soon as he saw Hedo’s sword. As if some forgotten memory came to mind.
Afterwards, even after leaving Sota Desert, Murakan kept trying to recall the memory of the longsword veil, but failed every time.
Because of this, the party assumed that Hedo’s sword was also an object whose history was fabricated, but of course no one could have imagined that the veil would be intertwined with Temar’s tomb in this way.
“I don’t know what the reason was. You used a large amount of aura when fighting with me in the past, and there was no reaction at that time.”
“It must be because the locational condition of Temar’s tomb was not met. It seems that the sword is the key to the tomb. Where did you get that sword?”
“I got it by cutting a monster in the Black Sea when I was young.”
“I hope you can tell us more about it later. Anyway, thanks to your sword, there is hope, Tower Keeper. Thank you.”
Coincidence It was purely coincidental that Jin brought Hedo to the Kaldran snowfield this time.
However, Jin thought that if his sword had a story about Runcandel, it might not be a coincidence, but fate.
“12 riders. You’re thinking of going in when the portal is finished, right?”
“exactly.”
“I’m going in too!”
“No, miss.”
“No, Sandra.”
Jin and Hedo said at the same time.
“why!?”
“I don’t know what’s going on inside. If Heister survivors are still alive, they may have gone in there and never got out.”
“I am of the same opinion. It’s a different matter from coming to Kaldran’s snowfield. If this door leads to Temar’s tomb, nothing can be foreseen about what will happen inside. It means escape may be impossible.”
“So Jin is going in? Mr. Jin is Rosa’s only opponent, but what if he dies alone inside?”
“Themar’s tomb is an arrangement left by my gods and ancestors for Runcandel. I have never once been in danger in visiting those tombs. Also, through aura, I could always get out whenever I wanted.”
Of course it’s a lie.
In most of the tombs, Jin was almost killed by the Guardians, and in the fourth tomb, he waited endlessly with Valeria because he didn’t know how to get out.
However, since YuRia was not at her seat now, Sandra had no way to confirm the truth.
Even if it was confirmed, Jin would definitely go in alone.
“Time required or situation. Since nothing can be predicted, I am worried about what the lady demon dragon and I should do.”
“With my experience so far, I was able to return to the royalties within a day or two.”
“It is impossible for us to wait here for that period of time.”
“You know, so come back. If Rosa doesn’t come in person, I’ll probably be able to escape under any circumstances.”
“I won’t leave you alone!”
“Sandra, please.”
First of all, although Jin became quite close to Sandra, she and Hedo were clearly Zipple people. I couldn’t bring them into Temar’s tomb.
“I still can’t. So far, they’ve been friendly, but this time the tomb might be hostile to Jin. Hedo and I will be very helpful. Besides, Mr. Jin is so tired just by opening the door.”
When the door was all formed, Jin felt a great sense of exhaustion, just as Sandra had said. Just by opening the door, almost all of the aura was consumed.
‘It looks like the aura used is several times greater than what Murakan used in the first tomb.’
Although he had aura and magic power, Jin couldn’t fight with full force if he met a tough opponent inside.
“And what about Runcandel’s 3rd rider!? It’s a problem even if Rosa and not the 3rd Horseman are there when she returns. You have to deal with the 3 riders alone in a tired state, right in the middle of the enemy area.”
Runcandel 3rd rider, Runtia Runcandel.
Ronil said that she seemed to have led the pursuit team and chased after Valeria.
However, until now, Runtia had not been seen, and the party assumed that she was among the reinforcements arriving this time.
As Jin tried to enter the door, Sandra threw herself toward it first.
Hedo immediately tried to interrupt her, but after a while he realized he didn’t have to.
Tung-!
“Ugh!”
It was because as Sandra got closer, a shockwave erupted from the door and threw her back.
It was the same no matter how many times I tried.
“Damn what is this…! Hey, look at you bouncing it off too.”
The same happened to Hedo as well as Sandra.
He succeeded in approaching the door with superhuman strength, but as soon as he reached it, he could not proceed further as if he was blocked by a wall.
“I have a feeling there might be trouble with the door if I go any further, ma’am. Give up.”
On the other hand, nothing like that happened to Jin.
“The 12th Horseman.”
Jin looked back at Hedo.
“If possible, spend at least three days inside the tomb. Only then can we come back and ask Kingelo for help.”
Hedo concluded that using the leader’s portal would be best for now.
Jin also immediately agreed with that opinion.
“Okay. If possible, make sure to do so.”
“Also, if you come back to this cave after exiting the tomb, release the maximum amount of energy immediately. We’ll use that as a signal to ask the leader to open the portal.”
“Contrary to the appearance, it seems that the head turns very quickly, Chief Top. Sounds like a good comment. That would give me more peace of mind.”
“I will put Orgal on standby as soon as possible. I wish you no luck.”
“Mr. Jin!”
Jean greeted him with a wink and just as he was about to enter the door, Sandra hugged him once.
“Remember, if by any chance, only your comrades survive to return to Tican. I will kill him at any cost.”
The fact that it wasn’t a joke made Jin’s head throb for a moment, but he smiled at Sandra.
“Keep that in mind.”
Soon Jin entered through the door.
The light forming the veil of the long sword immediately went out.
Sandra stared blankly at the spot where Jin had disappeared for a while, and Hedo patted her on the shoulder.
* * *
As if entering Gleec’s abyss, only dark and empty darkness filled the subspace that formed Temar’s fifth tomb.
“Valeria!”
Even when I called out her name, there was no echo.
Is it because you are in a hurry or is there some other reason? Jin didn’t feel as comfortable as before in the solderlet’s subspace.
‘Unlike the tombs I went through in the past, I don’t feel as if spirit energy is guiding me. There are no traces of damage to Zipple or other forces. Is there another reason?’
I had no choice but to move.
[Mya!]
Shuri got out of the prison cell.
Jin immediately boarded the Shuri and began searching the desert of aura as wide as the desert.
Time in sub-space flows differently from Inse. From what Jin has experienced so far, the time of Inse passed much faster.
‘Where are you Valeria…!’
There was no progress in the search for about an hour, so the moment I was about to become more impatient.
Shuri stopped walking and pointed forward with her front paw.
[Mya mya mya!]
There, something as transparent as glass was generating light. A dim light as if it would soon go out.
As he got closer, Jin was able to recognize that it was magical power in the form of fragments.
The fact that it is a piece of ‘record magic’.
< In this direction... >
‘These are the traces left by Valeria…!’
My heart was beating rapidly.
Record magic was of course possible not only to find records of the past, but also to leave marks in this way.
‘Judging by the faint traces, it was old or barely left with little magic left.’
Above all, the fact that the magic remained meant that the caster was still alive.
It was then that Jin was able to sweep his chest for the first time.
‘He didn’t die. The Master definitely remains in this subspace.’
Shuri started running at full speed, following the direction Valeria’s record magic informed.
Jin was reminded of the fact that he could save her soon.
But for some reason, as Jin went in the direction Valeria said, he felt that an unpleasant aura, not Valeria’s mana, was getting closer.
It was an aura of chaos. The quality is incomparable to those felt in the Kaldran snowfield, with a high level of purity and hugeness.
As we got closer to the source of the soul spirit, the sub-space showed signs of battle as well as desolate darkness.
The space is full of cracks and twisted traces. All of them were traces of destructive swordsmanship.
Soon after arriving at the source, Jin was able to face a woman.
It wasn’t Valeria.
[It’s been a while… the youngest.]
Runtia Runcandel.
The woman Jin faced was his second sister.
