Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 252

Episode 252:

The destination of the march was Hwa Eun-soo’s home.

The reason Hwa Eun-soo left her home was simple. Because there was a constant threat to life there.

So many assassins were targeting her head that it was impossible to tell who had sent them.

“Once you make your decision, you can’t just run away forever. “I can’t imagine what it would have been like to have been away for such a long time… but if the hidden warehouse wasn’t discovered, we would have been able to procure the necessary supplies.”

Hwa Eun-soo’s hometown, Cumunseong!

It was a castle located quite far away from where they were living.

From Explorers to private soldiers to the people who serve Hwa Eun-su. Since there were only so many people, it was difficult to avoid the gaze of others.

Therefore, I moved forward while being more alert to my surroundings than other times.

Suddenly, Asus tilted his head.

“But it’s really amazing. “Considering the timing, the rain wasn’t going to stop anytime soon.”

The rain god’s support!

Asus muttered to himself, X slowly raised the corner of his mouth. I fully realized that I had nothing to lose by being seen well by those in authority.

My heart swelled with anticipation.

‘The rain god didn’t even vote in favor, but he made the rain stop. So, does that mean the gods who voted in favor can help me even more than that?’

Intoxicating kimchi soup!

However, there is a difference between changing the weather and providing direct help.

Judging by Sacredia’s words, it seems that excessive involvement in reality is prohibited in heaven.

Still, it was true that my heart felt secure.

‘I just hope we get to Cumulus Castle safely.’

It was impossible to know where the enemy would come from. There has already been a discussion with Hwaryuhyeon, but not with the other princes.

Moreover, there was no way that the fake emperor would just sit by and watch. So X and his party focused on reconnaissance.

The agile movements of a tiger!

Katharine returned after looking around the front on a horse.

“I don’t see any suspicious traces. “I don’t know about wild animals or monsters, but I don’t think we need to think about enemy attacks for the time being… That’s the problem.”

Shoot!!

Even if I didn’t say anything, the sound of the strong water stream was irritating my eardrums.

A river with strong currents due to heavy rain blocked the march. The river was so swollen that it was impossible to cross it barefoot.

At this point, one of the Explorer guild members opened his mouth.

“Well, I’ve never built a bridge before, but I guess I can try to build one somehow! This is another time to prove the class of the carpenter profession…”

Sioras said, interrupting the carpenter class user.

“It takes a long time, but there is also a way to make them cross by levitating. “If Liglian cooperates, it will take just over an hour…?”

But even Sioras could not finish his sentence.

It was worth it.

Tiroling!

[Roll up your forearms as if the river god has been waiting for you!]

[The fish in the river have built a bridge!]

Jump and jump!

So many fish rose to the surface that it was hard to tell where they came from. It looked like a sturdy Ojakgyo Bridge that seemed to be easy to walk on!

“What day is it really today?”

“…As soon as I log out, I’m going to buy a lottery ticket.”

“Was the dog dream I had last night actually a good dream?!”

It’s natural for everyone to be shocked. Sioras and Ligrien, who had experienced various things over a long period of time, also seemed dumbfounded.

Only X was nodding with a satisfied expression.

‘This is what it feels like to receive grace.’

How about seriously believing in all 72 gods in heaven?

No, but 72 people were too many. I don’t know about the god of clowns, but I should leave out the god of fate.

‘It would be a shame to just send it away.’

X, who was shaking his head, snatched a few fish and started walking again. Anyway, there was nothing rough about marching with God.

“I think there was a landslide or the ground is so caved in that I have to go back.”

Tiroling!

[The God of the Earth begins shoveling!]

[The ground in the area becomes level!]

Among them, the support from those who voted in favor was truly enormous.

In addition, with the addition of X’s heavenly cooking buff and Asus’s pathfinding ability, we were able to reach the Cumulus Castle more than twice as fast as expected.

Seo Ji-ha narrowed his eyes and examined the exterior of the castle.

“On the outside, it doesn’t seem like anything has changed. “Most of the villagers followed us, so what we need to be careful about is the bandits who might have taken over the fortress, right?”

“well. “You’ll have to go in to find out.”

There was no need for many people to move.

Parbat!

X first looked inside the Cumulus Castle with Sioras.

[You have discovered ‘Cumulus Castle’ for the first time in Fate World!]

[Experience gain near Cumulus Castle increases by 20% for 72 hours!]

[Item acquisition rate near Cumulus Castle increases by 20% for 72 hours!]

If there are bandits, it would be better to drive them out first.

However, contrary to expectations, the Cumulus Castle seen from the castle wall looked very peaceful.

Even rare people came into view.

“I guess they are the ones left in the castle, right?”

“I guess so, right? “It’s surprising that he’s still safe.”

It was clear that there must be some story.

First, he called in those who were waiting with a wave of his hand. Hwa Eun-su seemed to be overcome with emotion upon seeing Jeokun Castle and its people safe.

“I knew you would come back, princess!”

Seo Ji-ha asked the crowd of people on behalf of Hwa Eun-su, who could not speak.

“What happened so far?”

“There was protection from the Crown Prince.”

“If it’s the crown prince… what about Elder Hwaryuhyeon?”

It is said that Jeokunseong was able to survive thanks to Hwaryuhyeon’s protection.

Externally, it seemed that Hwaryuhyeon had driven out Hwa Eunsu and occupied Jeokunseong Fortress, so other princes could not easily attack Jeokunseong Fortress.

Hwa Eun-su opened her mouth softly.

“As expected, brother…”

Indeed, in many ways, Hwaryuhyeon was desperately trying to protect peace in an unseen place.

However, when other beings are involved, there are some things that cannot be resolved through peace alone.

Now it is time to discuss ways to defeat the fake emperor in earnest. Unfortunately, it would be right to postpone the touching reunion for a while.

Hwa Eun-soo gathered her emotions and opened her mouth in a serious voice.

“Let’s talk inside.”

Hwaunseong, a residence close to the capital.

The spread of the Hua Empire.

Asus scratched his head.

“So, in order to enter the capital city, you must pass through the gateway. “Wow, it must be incomparably tough compared to the Kingdom of Arba.”

There is no way to secretly enter the capital city!

The capital city where the false emperor resides is surrounded by several layers of gates and walls. Naturally, each gate is guarded by a general and numerous soldiers.

Seo Ji-ha added a word.

“In particular, it is the generals who guard the right direction. “Their power is comparable to that of the crown prince as well as the crown prince… There is a possibility that Elder Hwaryu-hyeon’s letter will be lightly ignored.”

“Even if I can’t do it, I definitely have to avoid the east, west, south, and north.”

Asus was thinking of a way to enter the capital city through camouflage.

But I was also worried whether I could completely fool them. However, it made no sense to launch an all-out war from the beginning.

With such a large difference in power, what chance would you have if you hit a rock with an egg?

Sioras stroked his beard and opened his mouth.

“I never thought that banning magic because it was considered a catch would be an obstacle. “I’m curious about the author’s intention in making me focus on catching magic in the first place.”

Naturally, access via teleportation was also impossible.

To summarize, the capital city was designed as an artificial fortress from the time it was built.

What he meant was that in order to reach the false emperor, he had to clear away all the obstructions.

Liglian’s jaw moved.

“Isn’t this what everyone was prepared for? “If you can’t find a solution even if you try your best, then the natural course of action is to hit it with your body.”

“I understand because Ligrien said it.”

“You are just as light-mouthed as that guy.”

“I’m sorry.”

Ligrien’s burning eye light. Sioras said, leaving the embarrassed Asus behind.

“Anyway, I can’t see where X has gone.”

“I heard you were going to take a quick look around the castle?”

“is it? Yes, understanding geography is always important.”

Infinite trust in your favorite disciple!

However, X was not taking a leisurely walk as his teacher had thought.

X entered a forest quite far away from Cumulus Castle, a place that was not easily visible from the outside, and opened his mouth.

“Let’s see. I think this place would be good.”

“yes? Well, if you like it, I like it too…”

What on earth are you planning on doing in a place like this?

Dallas also noticed.

For the blessing of the runestone.

If he had been searching for a contaminated rune stone, the corners of X’s mouth would have turned upward.

However, X’s expression was currently filled with sadness rather than laughter.

Dallas asked cautiously.

“Are you trying to tell me something secret?”

“Well, if it’s a secret, it’s a secret.”

“…Then I will protect you until the grave.”

“no. “It will come out naturally anyway, so there’s no need to do that.”

Pop!

Grinning, X slowly turned his shoulders and continued speaking.

“Instead, could you please put some heels on me?”

A new attempt is needed!

X was constantly reviewing the letter from the Gourmet King.

But does it mean that it is easy to keep the saying of doing your best and dying a lot?

‘You’re not responsible for the death penalty.’

If only the death penalty was a level drop, then yes, I could accept it. The level could be quickly restored if I hunted hard for a few days.

The biggest problem was that I couldn’t access Fate due to the death penalty.

These days, Fate World is in an uproar every day because it is a dungeon and a rune stone.

Using this as an opportunity, Mage Rankers, including Songwol, are aiming for the top spot.

As the Gourmet King said, if you just die innocently, you won’t be able to make porridge or rice.

‘It’s time for adventure.’

So,

What you need to raise is your proficiency in Denial of Death and Liberation of the Eight Gates.

Even if I just assumed that death denial, which only activates after death, was unavoidable, I wondered if I could raise my proficiency in Liberating the Eight Gates more efficiently.

Then a thought occurred to me.

‘If it’s the wings of the phoenix.’

If the effect converts the amount of damage received into dot damage, wouldn’t it be possible to avoid or delay the inevitable fatal wounds and near-death events?

X briefly checked the skill window.

Liberation of the Eight Gates (14%): Opens the door, allowing you to use absolute power for a short period of time. After use, the user will inevitably receive fatal injuries and enter a near-death state. (Currently a door that can be liberated: One door, one door, one door, one door)

‘With vast vitality, you can avoid the state of death.’

X experienced relief from the side effects of the liberation of the Eight Gates through Sacredia’s miraculous recovery in the battle with Hongdong.

Now all that remains is to see if that can be done with the wings of the Phoenix and the amount of healing Dallas has.

At X’s request, Dallas tightly hugged the Bible.

“I’m not sure, but I’ll give it a try.”

“When I give you the signal, please start asking.”

“yes!”

Let’s go.

To prevent the battle state from being released, X radiated his spirit and attracted aggro to the surrounding monsters. After confirming the hostility, the Palmun Liberation was immediately activated.

‘I feel a huge overload at the same time as the energy soars.’

Kuoooo!

It felt like his life force was burning out in real time. Then, X gritted his teeth and activated the wings of the phoenix.

Grumble!

Perhaps due to the influence of the liberation of the Eight Gates, wings that were clearer and larger than before protruded from X’s back.

X shouted.

“now!!”

Dallas reacted quickly.

“The grace of sacrifice!”

Tiroling!

A smile appeared on X’s lips as he checked the notification.

“…done.”
