Episode 545 If they were gods, I
was (2) an unwelcome reunion.
“It’s a bit thick.”
Sarr.
Between the cracks in the window, where the light of the moon and the magic eye mix.
A shadow creeps in.
Kitsch looked around.
It must be the aftermath of an injury.
They were all in a state of deep sleep, no different from fainting.
First, let me throw a threat.
“Do you know where this place is? It’s a magic tower. “Even if it’s a separate room, it’s not a space that someone like you can mess around with, right?”
But damn it didn’t even work.
Rather, how did we get here in the first place?
Oh, is that so?
‘Life is so ironic.’
Everything is a land of adventurers.
This is probably because colors were added to the Arcana Continent in Seoul.
At that moment, Kichi reached for the dagger hidden under his pillow.
‘If it were the normal strength of the Magic Tower…’
It would not have been shaken by the invasion of the Shadow God.
But the situation was different from usual.
As many as four senior wizards are in the same hospital room as them.
Including top owner Marcelo.
Because most of the seniors were on their way to the tower.
‘More than anything, his goal is us, not the Magic Tower.’
In that case…
Kitsch stopped extending his hand as a dagger.
He immediately changed his expression and continued speaking.
“Still, out of respect for old times, I’ll at least talk to you. As much as I have a lot to do with it. “I think they must have been quite embarrassed because the contract was unilaterally terminated.”
I didn’t want to cause any more trouble to others.
themselves.
No, if it could end with just me.
‘I don’t really feel like it.’
Kitsch thought he would once again accept the ‘stigma of shadow’.
But it was an unexpected development.
I thought it would definitely come out in a high-handed manner.
-I would like to ask you a favor.
Please, is this unexpected?
Well, I knew that whipping wouldn’t work.
Are you saying you’re going to start by holding out a carrot this time?
Kichi, former leader of the Shadow Mercenaries.
It was Kitsch who ruled the back world of the Arcana continent in the past. It was natural that he was familiar with negotiations. Dalgak. Kitsch moved from the bed to the chair and continued talking.
“Half a penny is God’s favor. It’s novel and I’m interested. say it.”
Thanks to that wealth of experience, I was able to roughly predict it.
When the opponent is on the disappointing side, the options are largely divided into two.
Either state the purpose first or offer compensation first.
Usually, when it comes to lame requests, the first thing to do is offer compensation.
No one wants to willingly present themselves to the world.
Nevertheless, offering compensation first.
That means it’s a dirty request.
As expected, it was like that.
-I will share my power with you.
It really hasn’t changed at all.
“How is it the same as then? Don’t you know better than anyone else what humiliation I suffered because I was deceived by those sweet words? “If you don’t remember, should I tell you one by one now?”
honestly.
The emotions related to the last contract have long since dulled. Considering the mistakes we made as a shadow mercenary group, it was unconscionable to feel unfair about such a contract.
However, Kitsch spoke shamelessly.
“I had to watch my colleagues die with their heads cut off. Because of that damn contract, I couldn’t die even if I wanted to. know? “Since I signed a contract with you, I haven’t gone to sleep even for a day without drinking.”
…Stop.
‘Did you hear it outside too?’
The popularity that was felt outside the separate room earlier.
It was like that.
It was an act for the owner of that popular show.
If you are a wizard of the Magic Tower, you will be able to sense the current conversation and convey the situation to the higher-ups. Kichi reminded me of Bellier, a senior mage from the healing school.
‘…if I’m with her.’
The alter ego of God Gramji, which is not the main body, can be driven out from the magic tower.
Because I had made a judgment, I deliberately pretended to be angry.
Of course, there was one more trick.
Kitsch’s eyes glance at the bed.
“Grrr! “Hmmnyammnya…”
…Rock Kid It was not expected that the members would wake up from their sleep due to that damn muscle pig snoring as if the room was floating away.
Look away again.
‘He’s a guy you never know when he might change.’
What’s more, I’ve really messed up my feelings.
Should I still hold a weapon?
That was the moment when Kitsch reached under the pillow.
-Then I will ask for forgiveness.
“…?”
Again, something unexpected came out.
‘You said it was an apple?’
Even though I don’t know what’s going on.
It seems like he’s in such a hurry that it even breaks his pride.
So much so that he tried to deceive me with plausible words.
however.
-And I swear.
What followed was beyond plausible.
-I will share my divinity with you.
“…!”
Godhead.
Kichi knew the purpose of the Shadow God long ago.
His only goal is to attain complete godhood. His plan was to receive reverence from the dark Arcana backworld, not the sunny side, and enter the pantheon with full godhood.
Kitchi asked back, dumbfounded.
“…are you going to share your godhood with us? you?”
It was Kitsch who had manipulated the power of the Shadow God by making a contract.
But that’s only a small part of it.
I knew it better than anyone else because I had dealt with it.
Kichi said without hiding his true feelings.
“I think you would know better what I would do if you handed me that power, right? “No, even if it’s not me, there are some people here who will do anything to kill you.”
…but he’s snoring loudly now.
-I don’t mind.
“Damn….”
-If you want to kill me, you can kill me.
“What?”
Creak.
I was so surprised that my chair fell backwards. At this point, I was starting to get curious. What kind of situation did the arrogant shadow god encounter that made him change his mind like that?
‘Is it related to the opening of the Pantheon?’
It was a moment when Kitsch was worried.
Shadow God.
He spoke in a cold voice.
-But only after killing everyone in the pantheon.
“…what?”
.
.
.
Jerk.
“Klee.”
“Yes, Master Bellier…!”
“Please wait from here.”
“I will follow your instructions.”
Bellier stopped in front of the door to the healing school’s separate room.
Indeed, what Klee said was right.
A level that cannot be estimated even with one’s own magic power.
There were traces that a being of a different rank had entered the separate room.
‘The situation is not good.’
Therefore, Bellier judged calmly.
‘Chief Marcelo Mathis is away now…’
Currently, the best force in the Magic Tower was Senior Benshee William.
Velier recalled the magic structure in his head.
‘…give and take.’
The highest level of healing magic achieved by following Chief Lee’s teachings.
It was a magic that didn’t even have a name yet.
The effect was accurately understood.
『The target recovers to the extent that the manifester sacrifices.』
The manifester does not simply sacrifice magical power.
However, the healing effect was equally excellent.
If we can restore Senior Banshee with this unfinished magic.
‘It could buy me quite a bit of time.’
However, Bellier’s solemn decision was not implemented.
Rattling.
This was because the door to the separate room suddenly opened from the inside.
Bellier’s pupils twitched.
“Oh, I was going to tell you anyway!”
Beyond the open door.
The one who opens his mouth calmly is the leader of the shadow mercenaries.
No, it was Kitsch, now a member of Akshan.
“I’ve been in a lot of trouble for the past few days, Senior Bellier.”
“…yes?”
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Thinking that such an injury would heal in just a few days…
Bellier took a step closer to Kitsch and raised his hand.
Kitsch flinched.
“Ugh. Senior here. “It’s a little itchy there…?”
An automatic reflex arising from an occupational disease.
Bellier’s hand caressed the nape of Kitsch’s neck, where the scar remained.
Soon her jade green pupils twitched.
“…What happened?”
The only thing that can be felt at the nape of the neck is the fluff that has sprouted.
The wounds were everywhere.
It wasn’t just kitsch.
suffered major and minor injuries.
The wounds of all the shadow mercenaries were completely gone.
Kitsch smiled vaguely.
“That was a bit of a situation.”
“Could it be related to the presence I felt?”
“If it’s a sign, I think it’s probably true.”
Traces of a different being.
It was Bellier that I wanted to ask more specifically about.
Kitsch asked for understanding.
“I will tell you more details after I return.”
“Where are you going?”
“That’s it…”
Likewise, it seems like it’s difficult to say.
Kitsch hesitates.
Velier nodded quickly, as if he was okay.
“There must be a reason. “I understand.”
“As expected, be merciful…! Thank you, Bellier.”
Kitchi and his group soon leave the separate room.
Is the story over…?
Klee, who was hesitating in the corner, approached Bellier and asked.
“Are you okay, Senior Velier?”
“well.”
Bellier wasn’t sure.
They were the ones who abandoned their past and were reborn as demon hunters of Akshan.
“It’s not easy to make a decision because I’m facing a test.”
Likewise, he was in a situation where he had been stabbed in the back by the newly reborn Goddess Church and a few adventurers. Nevertheless, the reason why Bellier obediently let Kitsch and his group go was simple.
High-ranking healing magic 『Lifeline』
To put it simply, it is magic that acts as an ‘ringer’ in modern medicine. The difference is that it is connected to an injection needle, so it has severe restrictions on movement.
Okay.
Velier’s hand grabs the dangling lifeline.
“It is not ordinary magic, but a lifeline created by exploring and interfering with the mysteries of the magic tower. Therefore, if you follow the connected lifeline, you will be able to find out their whereabouts without difficulty.”
After all, being a senior wizard is not something everyone can do.
“okay…!”
For a moment, Klee couldn’t help but be amazed.
Velier immediately checked the lifeline.
Senior wizard of the healing school.
Since she had authority over the separate room, no special effort was needed.
Eventually, a lifeline floated in the air.
‘As long as we don’t cut it off here, it won’t break.’
Jigsy.
Velier closed his eyes and followed the traces of magic, searching Kichi’s footsteps.
I didn’t feel like prying into someone else’s back like this.
I couldn’t help it.
‘I don’t want to hurt Chief Lee any more.’
But it was unbelievable.
“…what?”
The magic trace could not be traced.
To be precise, I didn’t dare to explore it.
Because they have become a being of a different ‘class’.
Can we grow to a level where our status changes overnight?
And that too while lying in a hospital room…?
“It’s impossible.”
Bellier spoke quietly.
“You guys really signed a contract again…?”
*
The contract was signed again.
But conditions have clearly changed.
Rock Kid chuckled.
“Okay, I’ll kill you as much as you want according to the contract!”
It means that Gab-eul has completely changed from before.
Rock Kid runs wild as if he can’t control his physical vitality.
Alkali stuck her tongue out at the sight.
“No matter how many times I have been in danger of death, I can’t give my habits to others.”
“Well, it’s not bad, right? Thanks to you, I don’t have to bother.”
“It’s not that simple, Decheve.”
Alkari thought with an angry look.
“Why did the Shadow God pass on his godhood to us?”
The Shadow God kept his word.
By sacrificing his godhood and signing a contract, he was distributed equally with the nine former shadow mercenary members. I looked at the alkali liquid that was shaking like a dragon belching inside a potion bottle.
This too must be the influence of Godhead.
New elixir recipes came to mind constantly.
As you can see the effect.
Kwa-kwa-kwang.
Pantheon.
A monster pouring from the entrance.
It was enough to easily destroy the prototype.
“Isn’t it good that Yeonggam is rejuvenated? “Why are you acting serious?”
“It’s not such a simple problem, so…”
“Alkali.”
Alkali stopped talking at Kitsch’s call.
Well, now you’re bringing an old man to the battle between the gods.
How about you, you have no remorse?
I looked at Kitsch with those eyes.
Kitsch just smiled bitterly.
“I know what you want to say.”
“Would someone who knew that act like that?”
“I know.”
why me
Was he trying to hide everything and settle down in Yusra Kingdom? Why did I think I was happy during my boring days? I could have won everything I wanted, so why did I return to this battlefield like Alkari said?
“…It was hard to just stay still.”
“What do you mean it’s hard to stay still?”
Kitsch’s eyes sank heavily.
“What is the infinite depth of darkness, why is it that the Arcana Continent is falling into such deep sorrow that even the gods are rushing into the battlefield… I couldn’t understand. So I couldn’t refuse.”
This was a fight to prove that question.
All gods of the Arcana Continent.
Even more than those damn bastards.
Proof that there are others who are needed on the Arcana Continent.
Kitsch opened his mouth.
“The infinitely deep darkness and leader of Akshan. At the same time, the new Demon King of the Ten Seas swallowed up three of the Ten Seas. Furthermore, even if he fell into hell…”
Kitsch gritted his teeth.
“Fighting for you, who are sure to come back alive.”
“….”
Everyone fell silent at those words.
What that silence said was simple.
Strong positivity.
The Shadow God declared.
“Didn’t you tell me?”
In front of him.
“Even the complete deity is nothing more than a meaningless ‘status.’”
