Episode 363 Even if you can’t see with your right eye (4)
“Ugh! evil!”
The Deathbringer rolled across the snow to avoid the black fog that flowed in from the crack. He overcame the fact that his frozen legs wouldn’t move as he wanted, with some fighting spirit.
If the body falls off, it’s because of the mood, but if the neck rolls down, then it’s not because of the mood, so that was possible. The snowflakes that had clung to my clothes fell off every time I moved.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if even a negative sword worked, you crazy bastards?”
Hmm!
“Ah-oh!!”
Strictly speaking, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work at all. But if it only stiffens you a little but can’t kill you, what’s the use? There isn’t even just one enemy targeting him.
“Shit!”
Since it has no eyes, smoke bombs are useless, and since it has no respiratory organs, poison powder is also useless.
The only consolation is that the speed of the entity itself is not high, so if you run as best as you can, you can escape it… but even that doesn’t mean much when there are so many that a siege is possible. Since removal is impossible, if this continues, the siege will be completed first.
“Damn it!”
The moment that conclusion was reached, Deathbringer became very embarrassed. It was an embarrassment mixed with annoyance, sadness, and frustration in addition to the helplessness I always felt.
The most dangerous thing is that everyone else is doing it, but I can’t even do this? I can’t even do the simple task of delivering the damn thing!
『You are the only one here who can run to the dragon.』
Nari even believed in me…!
『Please.』
Deathbringer gritted his teeth and rolled his body again. The fog pours down like a waterfall behind the body, which runs as far and low as possible.
Crispy!
It had properties similar to water and spread in all directions the moment it touched the ground. The difference from real water is that it does not seep into the eyes and flies back up.
To say a little more, the black fog, which was said to be larger than an ordinary entity, split into three again.
“Whoa.”
Deathbringer sighed involuntarily as he looked at the tail. I did it, but now it’s a merger? Behind that sigh, the sorrow that the lack of speed was made up for is alive and breathing.
Wow!
But it’s not completely filled.
Deathbringer swung his unholy sword, clutching that one fact. The sword, which was tied with a string because I felt like I would miss it if I made even the slightest mistake, split the air along with my arm. It was a relentless attack that was more like an extension of the arm than a sword technique.
Hmm.
Still, if the end justifies the means and the fog that was trying to cover him recedes, that’s enough. Deathbringer swung his cloak and created wind.
Because there was no mass, the attack did not work, but a fog that was easily pushed back spread out behind me. By the time we get back together, he will be more than ten steps away.
“Where on earth is the dragon?…”
However, after overcoming one crisis beyond the mountain, another crisis greeted him. Six fogies, who had come from nowhere, stood in front of him as if surrounding him.
“shit…!”
How do I avoid that? I haven’t yet tested what happens if I make proper contact with or pass through that guy, so maybe this is the time to take that gamble?
Phew!
Just as the Deathbringer’s mind was gradually turning towards taking risks, something burst out from under his eyes. Although it was white, it was an object with a clearer color than snow.
Sigh!
If you were to define the texture of that thing, it would probably be bone. But can there be a creature made only of bones? Before that, why is that helping me?
While the Deathbringer’s instincts responded, the shark-like thing moved around the snow and chewed on the fog. It was almost pointless to worry about how to clear the road.
In an instant, the path he had to take was opened.
“ah!”
Whatever it is, this is not the time to just watch.
Deathbringer came to his senses half a beat later and tried to move his legs. It was a caution he chose in case something like that bony shark drew attention to him.
Sigh!
Huuuuuu!
However, the bone shark only targeted the fog, so he was able to escape easily. Perhaps all the fog ahead has been dealt with, but there is nothing left on the path ahead.
“What on earth is it?…”
I still can’t figure out the identity of the bone shark, but if it’s good news for me, that’s fine.
The Deathbringer quickly crossed the black river. The bitter cold seeped into my bones, but I somehow managed to get over it. The breath that rose to the tip of his chin began to blur the corners of his vision. It was a flashing white destruction.
“ah!”
Then, just as his body was screaming at its limits, a mound with a hole like a stingray with its mouth open at the end of the black river finally appeared.
There it is! Deathbringer realized this intuitively. That’s where I need to go.
He somehow put strength into his leg that was about to collapse. The body, which has even turned purple up to its ears, is walking on the snow field at a speed that can no longer be called running. Dah, dah, dah. My teeth were shaking from the cold that had reached my brain.
“Please…”
But there isn’t much left. So please, let’s just go there.
The Deathbringer walked forward, forcing his eyes shut. Was the mound farther away than expected, or was it just my cold brain that had created an illusion? Dundeok had no intention of getting closer. It felt like I was just walking in place.
“Why…”
We’re almost there. I think we’re almost there.
He closed his eyes, watching the world tilt. When I lifted my heavy eyelids again, the world had already turned sideways.
ah. If I had known this would happen, I would have said let’s send Heretic Questioner Nari. Deathbringer’s fingers trembled in a world where even the breath he exhaled was frozen. The fingers in my field of vision were clearly moving, but I couldn’t sense anything.
His pale face distorted.
“Just a little bit… if we go a little further…”
Why can’t he control magic power? Why doesn’t God give him even the slightest divine power? If you say it’s simply because you lack faith, then there’s nothing to say, but still.
Still, I’m trying my best for the world.
“Damn it…”
I shed untimely tears due to the overwhelming sadness. Even that froze in an instant, making it even more sad to stab my eyes like that.
The crisply frozen tears stung so much that they felt like pieces of an awl. It was truly disgusting, just like it would be when his tears touched an adventurer.
“I don’t want to stop here.”
But how can I stop crying? I know that I can only survive by cutting out my flesh, but what can I do when I am so afraid of the pain that I can’t even use the scalpel?
“I don’t want it to end here….”
I don’t want to break up. I don’t want to say this is the last time.
Even if it’s unreasonable and foolish, there’s nothing I can do about it. There is nothing I can do about the desire to be connected at least by a thin thread, the desire for this to not be the end eating away at my heart. It’s the same for everyone who doesn’t like the end being confirmed and wants to put it off until the end.
“Damn it—!”
I’m jealous of Saenim. I am jealous of Heretic Questioner Nari. In fact, I envy everyone who works with them. I wonder how he is so strong. I wondered how he could become so strong.
No matter how hard I try, I’m still weak.
“Until the end…!”
Deathbringer got back up on his shaky legs. The skin that was torn by tears shed blood, but there was no pain. It was too cold here to complain of minor pain.
“I don’t want to disappoint you until the end!”
Tap, tap, tap. The sound-absorbing eyes stole tears and blood instead of his cries. It wasn’t a waste. Those were things that I could give away as much as I wanted. His legs ran forward, pushing away the ridiculous thieves.
Faaah!
“What!”
However, the ground beneath his feet moved momentarily and something quickly popped out. It was a bone shark that was biting the fog mercilessly.
“Wow!”
However, its appearance was not to stop him.
At the sudden appearance, the Deathbringer lost its balance and was about to fall, but the bony shark’s flat back caught the Deathbringer and began swimming in the snow. The pointed fins, like those of a shark, were a good support for holding onto.
“What is it!!”
Fast, fast!! Deathbringer’s pale face became even lighter and he hugged his fins in a messy manner. In some ways, it wasn’t a very wise decision.
The bony shark’s speed increased even further, as if it had decided that it would not fall off even if the speed was increased.
“Wow!”
The body of the bone shark, swimming through the snow like water, quickly reached the area near the mound. The distance between him and the mound was so great that in reality, the mound was not at the level of a hill but closer to a proper mountain.
Naturally, the hole was also incredibly large.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”
If I had walked there, I would have 100% died. The Deathbringer reflexively opened his lips as he watched the entrance approaching. “Eh tsk tsk!” I had to close it right away because the snow that the shark had passed through got into my mouth.
“Thank you.”
Anyway, thanks to the bone shark, I arrived alive. As soon as Deathbringer arrived in front of the hole, he lowered himself from the slowing shark. Crispy! The shark disappears into the snow again without even listening to the end of the thank you.
“What is it really…”
Did it come from a noble dragon or something? He convinced himself of a plausible hypothesis and pushed himself into the hole. The air leaking out from inside was warmer than outside, so it was somewhat livable.
“It hurts…”
I will correct that. It wasn’t good at all. This is because the pain that had been delayed came all at once due to the recording of my frozen body. My hands and feet were numb and my head felt spinning.
“I’ll take you to the inside…”
If it’s because I don’t have eyes, there’s nothing I can do, but it’s still a pity. The Deathbringer fell and pushed himself into the ground, one step at a time. Afterwards, I had to crawl because my legs had no strength.
The body, now no more than a burden, entered the inner pupil, wiggling like an earthworm.
“Ah…”
And at the end, I saw the Deathbringer.
A gigantic dragon sleeping with its milky-white body connected to all directions and black blood dripping from its heart.
The being they sought to return the heart.
* * *
I only admitted it after my magic power was reduced to less than half. This doesn’t work. Even the firepower of the flash attack was not enough to stop it.
“…I don’t think this will work.”
I don’t want to admit my angry words, but I really don’t think it will work. The number of idiots continued to increase, and efforts to stop the monster were an issue that had no choice but to be acknowledged as long as they did not work.
“Isn’t there a wizard’s way?”
Even now, only the head was sticking out. They are tormenting us with their tentacles on such a topic.
But what if the real body comes out here? What will happen then? Maybe you can’t afford it?
“Is this the best, based on your knowledge?”
Having predicted the future with logic that had no basis but no one could refute, I urgently called for Erutalc. I felt good about his identity now. If he were the person I knew, I would be quite uncomfortable, but the discomfort was not greater than my life.
“…There is no way to strike properly.”
“I won’t blame you for saying it now. “What is that method?”
“That’s…”
Even at this moment, I was blocking the incoming attacks and cutting them down, waiting for Erutalc’s answer. The reason I don’t harass him anymore is not because he doesn’t want to talk, but because I understand that he doesn’t have much time to spare as he is trying to block attacks.
“To do that, you must draw the magic circle I require using your powerful magic power. “Perfectly, without a single error.”
“Can I just draw a magic circle?”
“okay. Originally, it would have required calculations by Yeongsang and the author, but… “There’s no way you can do that, so I’ll include that in the magic circle.”
“Then it won’t be a problem. would.”
“…If you do that, from now on I will draw a camp on the snow. “Look at it and follow it properly.”
But… is the magic circle so big that it needs to be drawn on the floor? Isn’t it small?
“…I’ll try.”
Can I do it? No, but is it possible to draw a magic circle while blocking all attacks coming before it and avoiding all summoned cosmic dust?
I gulped as I watched Erutalc sink his sword into the floor. They say this is the only way, but do a really hardcore raid once. For some reason, I felt like I was about to cry.
“Adventurer!!”
no. We had hope.
“I’m here! I’ll join you!”
“Forgive me for being late!”
Our king kimchi dumplings and the delivery man came!!
