Episode 166. You left something precious (2)
[Kürnberg Machine Tower].
When the rift was created, I “explored” the structure of the mechanical tower.
Why was my level not as high then as it is now?
Because in order to win a confrontation with high-level players like Rocks, a trick was needed.
“…are you really okay?”
Highel asked cautiously.
No, because it’s really good.
It seems that you have to show it with actions rather than words.
I raised my horsepower.
Expedited search process.
Lee Ho-yeol was not another person, but Grandfel’s talent.
It is said that you are not a head who will forget the target once you have explored it over time.
Moreover, it has the effect of [the pentagram of pure knowledge].
Because I had knowledge about all minerals.
I immediately entered the process of 『Interference』.
It is not manifested in a new form.
It just reverts to its previous form.
So, the only thing to add is 『Reversal』.
Soon, magical energy permeated the mechanical device that was horribly smashed.
‘I’m surprised?’
If it is the biggest advantage of reverse magic.
It must be that the magical power efficiency is quite excellent.
But it’s different than usual.
The amount of horsepower that escapes is considerable.
Considering that [Blessing of the First World Tree] is active.
‘To the extent that I can’t help but expect something…’
Isn’t it swallowing mana?
Still worth it
Because I’m not the one who groaned over a rat’s tail in the past.
Reversal magic manifested soon.
The mechanics in the heart began to return to their pre-damage state.
Highel said softly.
“Surely, please forgive me for worrying unnecessarily.”
…Anyway, I have no intention of stopping or changing that tone.
If I say it, only my mouth will hurt.
Rather than that, now is the moment to focus on mechanical devices rather than Hiel. A
structure
that
makes your head complicated just by looking at it
.
Soon, the interlocking cog wheels began to rotate.
At the same time, magic power shuddered in the center of the mechanism.
…Did you almost swallow your magic because of this?
It seems that I used my mana as a substitute fuel for the mana stone.
It took a while to realize that fact.
A message flickered in front of my eyes.
[Acquire accumulated experience in the decisive battle weapon, Kirnberg Mechanical Tower.]
[Acquire accumulated reputation in the decisive battle weapon, Kirnberg Mechanical Tower.]
Installment savings expiration.
There was no bird to be thrilled with.
Uncontrollable energy flowed straight from the mechanism!
Sussu—
The silver hair swayed in the field of vision, and the momentum to the extent that the neatly arranged clothes were also disturbed. That unusual aura wrapped around my whole body.
Another message popped up.
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]…
No, it’s not just once, is it?
However, the sea was expected.
Akhshan, nothing else.
It is the Kürnberg Mechanical Tower, which was called the decisive battle weapon of demon hunters.
If you hunted demons until such a decisive battle weapon was destroyed, how many demons would you kill?
Even if I can’t guarantee it, at least I haven’t hunted millions of people?
[Your level has risen.]….
A message that constantly flashes even while thinking.
An unusual energy that does not show any signs of waning.
At that point, I could feel it.
I’ll go up to level 50.
It is an overwhelming amount of experience enough to easily break down the wall that comes every 100 levels. This is…! The moment I was sure, something flickered in my field of vision.
Message But it wasn’t a level up notification message.
[Acquisition of accumulated memories in the Kürnberg Machine Tower.]
Temporarily accumulated memories?
In that moment, the view changed.
Just like pressing the play button on a video. The panoramic view of the Arcana continent from the perspective of the Kürnberg Machine Tower began to flow in front of my eyes…
.
.
.
Kugoong!
thud!
Kugoong!
A collection of technical skills made of minerals.
Therefore, emotions do not exist.
There is only one purpose.
-“Akshan’s legacy, let’s show our pride as a decisive battle weapon.”
according to the voice that awakened him.
It only protects its pride as a decisive battle weapon.
After hunting the devil until the very end, the operation is stopped.
thud!
Kugoong!
thud!
The heavens and the earth were covered with demons.
Thanks to that, there was no hesitation in his steps.
under the devil’s attack.
Until we reach a village that shakes like a wind lantern.
What came into sight was a man screaming in agony.
The thing that glows pitch black between the fingers covering the face is that of the devil.
“…My name is Mateda. I am!”
the devil sure
It is a being that must be hunted.
It was the moment when I was about to move with pride in the Kürnberg Machine Tower.
“Mate! Please come to your senses!!”
Human approached the devil.
It wasn’t enough to approach him, so he hugged the devil from behind.
why?
…Kugung.
The mechanical tower stopped operating for a moment.
“…stay away from me!”
“I can’t.”
“It is no longer the limit. Please, Ransha.”
shaking.
The man handed over the sword he was holding with trembling hands.
A sword made of silver.
The man’s grip that had been burned by contact with silver.
The man is proving once again that he is the devil.
however.
“…stab me to death with this or run away now.”
The action was not demonic.
“How could you ask me for such a favor?”
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
“Don’t say you’re sorry!”
“Please, Ransha. More…!!”
Pod!
The man pushed the woman roughly.
“Mate!”
It was the moment when the woman who had collapsed on the floor tried to approach the man again.
The sun had completely set, and a demonic eye appeared in the sky.
Devil’s eyes stared at the man and the burning town.
“Run away!!”
Kwajik!
The black pupils were not enough, and the ugly wings sprouted from the shoulders.
The man has changed into a form that can no longer be called a human being.
I had to hunt down humans who had fallen into demons based on my pride.
The mechanical tower did not move.
Sharing the vision of the demon’s eyes.
Countless demons invaded the village before the villagers could evacuate.
At that speed, everyone is caught by the devil.
But that was the moment.
“go away! Damn you bastards!”
The devil attacked the devil.
To be precise, a man who had fallen into a demon attacked the demon.
Until you lose your life at the hands of demons.
Until the woman shed tears while looking at him left.
The devil attacked the devil.
caught them by the ankles.
And he was trampled to death in a miserable manner.
Kugoong!
The Kürnberg Machine Tower was activated again.
He hunted the flocking demons without a break.
However, it is said that it is Akkshan’s decisive battle weapon.
Even physical damage could not be prevented.
Clap!
The spilled demon’s blood stiffened the cogs.
The aftermath appeared on the machine tower one by one.
Slowly, the mechanical tower began to tilt.
A collapsing mechanical tower.
What was in his field of vision was the demon who was a man and the villagers who were fleeing. final end. In an instant, the mechanical tower remembered the voice that had awakened it.
-“To show pride as a decisive battle weapon.”
Is it true that I have exhausted my pride as a decisive battle weapon?
The Kürnberg Machine Tower stopped trying to carve a question into its memory. Because there was something more important than that. Like Akshan’s decisive battle weapon.
He left his last will in memory.
[Quest: The Awakened Decisive Weapon’s Request]
Akkshan’s decisive battle weapon, the Quirnberg Machine Tower.
What I chose instead of answering the question was pride.
The machine’s memory wants to protect the survivors left behind.
—Rescue the survivors of Dredsen Village. (in progress)
.
.
.
As soon as my sight returned, I opened my mouth.
“thanks.”
In the meantime, I was the one who personally went and confirmed the appearance of the Arcana Continent, even though it was only once again as the spoils of the Demon King.
However, it was the first time I had observed the appearance and development of Arcana people in such detail.
I stared at the mechanism.
“Thanks to that, I was able to confirm something invaluable.”
It’s miserable.
It is a horror that is hard to put into words.
It was on a different level from the reality that was only threatened by cracks.
To the point where it feels like a miracle to be alive.
The Arcana Continent witnessed in the memory device of the Kirnberg Machine Tower was no different from the Demon World, the land of demons.
‘Let’s think calmly.’
What is the odds of the crusade at this point?
I could tell without even looking.
can’t win
It’s a simple calculation.
Yusra Kingdom, Frost Muon Tower, and finally the players.
It would be impossible to fight against the demons that fill the continent of Arcana even if all the forces participating in the current crusade were combined.
But I won’t move with my head in front of the demon, Grandfel.
What always comes first is in the heart.
Because it was a pride that could not be broken by any trials.
“Even if it was stolen by the devil.”
Because he was a natural enemy demon hunter, he was immediately recognizable.
That the man was possessed by the devil.
So glad
“Human pride is unbreakable.”
Even on the miserable Arcana Continent, human pride is not easily broken. Because I was checking it through the machine tower’s memory device.
Even though his body and mind were stolen by the devil.
A man to protect precious things.
Rather, it was run by demons.
Going against the possessiveness, I suddenly realize the power of pride.
I looked at the mechanism.
Did you accomplish your mission by reviving your memories?
The spinning cogs slowly stopped.
He must have acquired experience and fame, so there is no need to invest magic.
I said to the mechanism.
“It was an extremely honorable end as Akkshan’s decisive battle weapon.”
…and talking to a mechanical device.
I was embarrassed too.
I guess you talked to the dragon teeth too.
Anyway, as if you understood what I was saying.
A clap——
the mechanical device stopped moving.
Of course, even if the machine stops, I don’t stop.
That’s because a new quest came to mind.
[Quest: The Awakened Decisive Weapon’s Request]
Akkshan’s tradition.
Any quests Akshan’s demon hunters can’t complete will be taken over by other demon hunters. The decisive weapon, the Kirnberg Machine Tower, was also a member of the Akkshan.
like it or not
As the last demon hunter.
There was no choice but to accept the quest.
—Rescue the survivors of Dredsen Village. (In progress)
“Also, I will take over your pride.”
Of course, there was no conflict with Grandfell’s positivist point of view.
I didn’t delay any longer.
‘It’s the first time I’ve heard of Dredsen.’
It’s because of the 10 years that can’t be helped, and the gap of several years.
Where is the Arcana Continent?
There was no other way to find out.
It wasn’t really a problem.
Because I had a strong support group.
I stared into space.
‘…By the way, it’s a name that’s more difficult to adapt to than Highel.’
I really desperately recited it.
“Respond to my call.”
*
The sun has set and night has come.
in the woods.
They needed fire to chase wild beasts.
“Then I’ll take it.”
CHICK—
The survivors of Dredsen Village extinguished the torches they had struggled to light.
When Ransha extinguished the torch, someone grabbed the hem of her skirt.
Small eyes twinkled in the dark.
“Lansha unnie, it’s scary.”
“are you okay. Nothing will happen.”
“…That’s not it, that star is scary.”
There was a demonic eye where the short, plump finger pointed.
It’s like they’re rolling their eyes to find them.
Ransha grabbed the kid’s face and turned it towards herself.
and put it firmly
“Don’t look at me.”
“…I get it.”
“And there is no other star in the world that is so ugly and ugly.”
“It is. Hi-Hi.”
After taking care of the children and the elderly, the night grew deeper.
The residents, including Ransha, looked down the mountain.
The continent was burning as always.
Ransha looked at the sword.
When my heart felt weak, I thought of Mate.
I touched the handle of the sword he handed me.
‘…will live. Because you said so.’
It was a moment of promise.
“Something’s not unusual!”
Gardner, a retired mercenary, stood up.
The movements of the demons, which had been quiet lately, were strange.
A demon soldier who moves busily.
Even the little devils carrying weapons without a break.
It’s like…
“That’s the movement of those who are about to go to war!”
is it a war?
Ransha was embarrassingly stupid.
Grabbed Gardner and asked.
“Yesterday too. We’re still at war, Mr. Gardner! Dredsen has already taken him away from our village… What else are you going to take away from us who have nothing left!”
“The heart understands, Ransha. But I don’t know either.”
It wasn’t just Dredsen.
There were no intact villages or towns nearby.
But preparing for such a large-scale war?
It is incomprehensible with the experience of a mere mercenary…
Gardner was startled.
“No, this is not the time!”
“…?”
“Everybody hurry up. We must leave this mountain!”
When a war begins, supplies are quickly consumed.
to make up for scarce resources.
From now on, the devil is a mountain.
It was clear that all the mines would be searched for.
“Explanation later. Wake up the children first, Lansha!”
It was the moment Gardner exclaimed urgently.
“…!!!”
Demons were seen from under the mountain.
Gardner gritted it.
“Damn it, on the way down!”
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
“Evacuate the children and the elderly first!”
Although they were only low-level demons with powers comparable to imps, Dredsen was a small village. Those who had the strength to fight against demons, let alone soldiers, were already dead.
Chuck—
Ransha raised her silver sword.
I stood side by side with Gardner.
“Ransha, what are you doing, Genga!”
“I will fight with you!”
“No, they are not the ones you can deal with!”
“no. I don’t want to run away anymore.”
Ransha remembered Mate.
You surely wouldn’t have wished for something like this, right?
However, Ransha laughed bitterly.
‘…then you shouldn’t have handed me this sword.’
Even if you lose your life to the devil.
Ransha wanted to face the end proudly.
so.
Gardner cursed.
“damn. I have never felt so resentful of my weakness, Ransha!”
We have to buy time until everyone runs away.
Those who gathered their will took up arms and stood before the demons.
gigg!
Gardner let go of the taut bowstring.
hooked!
It was a hit.
“shit.”
But the devil showed no signs of suffering.
Even so, Gardner and Ransha and others did not back down.
A small sense of weight remaining on the hem of the skirt.
Yes, in order to handle the things each of them shouldered.
That is a pride that cannot be broken even by trials.
Pride brings about change.
Such a change would bring miracles.
Gooooh—
energy that shimmers in the air.
What appeared was a black figure.
It’s so black that you can’t even notice it unless you look closely.
“…Mr. Gardner, what is that?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden, Ransha?”
buried deep in the night
Even the shape doesn’t look right.
It was.
It was a darkness so foreign that I had never seen it before.
But a voice was heard.
the dark was talking
“I am Diend Krysiad Eternal Darkness.”
“…?!”
“My lord, I will save Dredsen according to the infinitely deep darkness.”
