Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 346



Only Noblemtl

Necropolis (3)

“I clearly didn’t see it, so where did it appear? Did someone teleport it?”

Kamai had absolute faith in Yeongan, and Alan also had the same feelings in Maan. Because useless doubts shake concentration and eventually even dampen the momentum of magic.

Since the conversation would keep going in circles if we just kept asking each other questions, we decided to compromise.

“Similar.”

“Similar? You have to answer clearly. If you answer vaguely like that, it’s my turn again.”

“I swear I don’t know the principle either. If I did, I would have adjusted it. How long has it been since we met in the cave?”

“Is that a question too? It’s not that soft. ······. Huh?”

Kamai’s lips were tightly shut, and his eyebrows shook as if he was squeezing his head. This was a virtual world meant to liberate him, so there was no way time would pass properly.

As Alan watched quietly, Kamai’s face relaxed, as if he hadn’t heard a word.

“Ask your question quickly. Precious time is passing.”

The consciousness must have interfered with Kamai, which gave Alan another chance to ask questions.

“Who are you chasing?”

“Mother Church. Those crazy fanatics are following me.”

It is no exaggeration to say that the reputation of the Mother Church has been with us throughout history. Of course, there were also negative aspects.

“If you don’t like it, burn it. If you use your tongue wrong, start a religious war… Where are you from?”

“It’s east.”

It was a new continent further east than the Eastern Continent, but just saying that was enough to mislead Kamai.

“The armor style seems a bit unfamiliar. If you’re from the Eastern Continent, I can understand. Judging from the clarity of your soul, you must have been amazing in life. What is your identity?”

“It’s my turn.”

“Ahem!”

“Why are you being chased?”

“A nobleman was picking a fight. He was a man who would only spread shit if he lived, so I mixed him with my subordinates and made him into fertilizer.”

The basic solution to the disputes between magic users is to use the abilities they possess, and it has always been the same. The extermination to eliminate the aftereffects is still a matter of debate even in modern times.

“It’s nothing.”

“I knew you’d sympathize. It’s nothing, but you’re chasing me with your eyes wide open just because I touched a corpse and handled a soul.”

In the old days, necromancers and warlocks were strongly despised and considered public enemies, so pursuing the Mother Church was a common response. In fact, it was even praiseworthy.

If it were Kamai at this point, he would have escaped safely. If he had been caught, he would have ended his life in the basement of the church before receiving the title of ‘Ka’.

But there is a reason why Alan appeared in front of Kamai now.

‘I guess it means to help Kamai defeat the Moshin Cult’s pursuit force.’

I’ve always wanted to bump into him, and it just so happened that it was a good opportunity. Since it was a space where only Alan was, I didn’t have to worry about Shiva’s reaction.

“What are your choices? Run away? Deal with it?”

“It’s safe and certain that I’ll be killed. And I’m not the same person I was when I was hit because I let my guard down.”

“To be exact, I fainted.”

Kamaishi immediately shut his mouth. Alan struck the player before his mind could boil over.

“Please lend me a servant to do the ice work.”

“Even if you are a very powerful soul, do you think that would be easy? … Well, it could be done.”

Although he blurted out negative words out of frustration, his pride in his skills quickly corrected his remarks.

Kamai reached into his pocket and pulled out a skull with a jewel set into its forehead. The jaw clacked in response to the magic he put into it, transforming him into a skeleton wizard.

Alan placed his soul on the wizard’s bones. The landlord resisted, but he pulled him out and pushed him into a corner. As soon as he gained control, the naturalization in his eye sockets completely disappeared.

“Oh, your magical power control is quite significant. People tend to think that the more flashy something is, the more dangerous it is.”

Alan drew runes on the floor as he listened to the explanation. Kamai looked over his shoulder.

“It looks different from the runes I know. Is it because it’s from the Eastern Continent?”

The runes Alan uses are a mixture of Labyrinthian and modern knowledge, and are the result of at least 500 years of development and change.

“Oh, that would make the efficiency skyrocket. Show me more.”

“I have to take care of urgent matters first.”

Excessive magical powers turn the body into a prison, but it also takes the five senses to the extreme. Kamaishi also suffers from the same symptoms, which is why his brain is so brilliant.

“How are you enduring the throbbing pain?”

“That’s what they call you because you’re from the Eastern Continent. Wait, did I say you have excessive magical powers? How did you know?”

“It’s a cave.”

“···You will learn my methods later. Oh, did you die because you couldn’t overcome your excessive magical powers? I wondered why you died with such a powerful soul, and it turns out there was a reason for that.”

Alan and Kamai prepared to meet the pursuers. Their lips opened and closed repeatedly, as did their hands that moved busily.

“Who is the leader of the pursuit team?”

“Jacob Marshall, Honorary Inquisitor. But he’s a madman who’s even more crazy than the real thing.”

The name sounded familiar. Alan immediately jumped to conclusions.

Given Chairman Jake’s abilities, the Marshall family must have a long history. And the family must have immigrated to the New World and founded Breaker.

‘Sir, you said the chairman was a parachute, so that must be right.’

It wasn’t just any ordinary parachute, it was a state-of-the-art parachute that could control its ascent and descent at will.

“How can that little kid be so strong···.”

“is it so?”

“You’re in your mid-twenties now, and you still radiate aura like crazy. I don’t understand why the world is so unfair. Some people are held back by illness, while others thrive without any hardships.”

It was a story that would have shocked other wizards if they heard it. Even though Kamai had hypermagic, the condition was mild and he could focus his excellent wits on magic.

As Alan prepared to engage the pursuers, he felt something strange.

‘It’s a ritual for resurrection, but it’s too complicated.’

If it were Allen himself, anyone would have easily broken the seal by simply touching it. However, Kamai’s consciousness was so difficult that it was impossible to break.

Only those with excessive magical powers are eligible to hold the key, but they are not only few in number, but are also incapable of living a normal life.

The trials were also very twisted. How could a seriously ill person possess the boy Kamai and defeat the necromancer, and defeat Kamai in the cave with the psychic eye?

‘There are some things to think about, but for now, dealing with it comes first.’

The good old days of getting information through questions were over. Kamai, who had been sitting on the tree stump, suddenly stood up.

“Coming.”

Birds flew up in unison from the forest as far as Alan could see. They were getting closer and closer. Then came the sound of an explosion.

Krrrr!

Trees were torn down, boulders were uprooted and blown away, and artificial open spaces continued to grow.

“To treat a golem like this.”

The distinction between automatons and golems was somewhat ambiguous. If it was simple, it was called a golem, and if it was complex, it was called an automaton.

Of course, since this was a forest, there was a severe shortage of materials to make an automaton. However, Alan’s perspective was different from that of other magic engineers.

If you treat a golem like an automaton, it becomes an automaton.

Since magic is the source of mystery and the power to bring imagination into reality, it faithfully followed Alan’s will. Although the materials were simple, the magic circuit was much more complex than that of a normal automaton.

Complexity isn’t necessarily the strongest, but most of them have a lot of features and are powerful.

“Endure the ordeal!”

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you.”

However, the pursuit of the Mother Church was not easy. Even those who were on the verge of death from the explosion came back to life and charged. I didn’t know it when we were together, but it was difficult when we met as enemies.

“consolation!”

The chasers jumped up the tree at someone’s shout. They judged that there was a magic circle on the ground, but the children that Alan had created jumped up.

A spider made of stone exploded as it latched onto the face of one of the soldiers. The stone fragments scattered everywhere like grenades. Sometimes, they blew off the ankles of those hiding in the leaves.

Still, the pursuers advanced. They had anger in their left eye and faith in their right.

“Are you ready for the magic?”

“Thanks to you.”

A dark turquoise magical power swirled around Kamai. It was so strong that small stones flew away and tree branches easily snapped.

This was the reason why the Mother Church’s pursuit party charged forward even at the risk of suffering losses. Giving a wizard time to prepare was synonymous with suicide since ancient times.

As Kamai spread his arms wide, countless souls burst out from his chest.

[Get up, slave. Build a wall for your master.]

Boulders as high as tombstones rose up one after another. It was not a real wall, but a conceptual choice of words.

[Arise, soldier. Defend the walls for your master.]

Each tombstone served to absorb damage. As long as the tombstone remained, Kamai would not be harmed.

[Arise, knight. Defeat the enemy for your master.]

As soon as a few vivid souls settled into the ground, gauntlets suddenly appeared. Death Knights stood in front of Kamai.

Kamai’s face turned pale as he had his soul ripped out of his chest. Alan immediately knew why.

“It’s a way of passing the burden of arrhythmia onto the soul.”

“You’re quick-witted. The real thing hasn’t even arrived yet.”

As soon as Kamai finished speaking, a gray flash of light raced through the forest. Even though Alan calculated the path and detonated the spider, it didn’t work.

“Coming.”

Gray crescents flew in from across the forest. Not one, but dozens. The flying slash tore through the forest, cutting through the traps that Alan had hidden.

Behind the reckless pursuit of the Mother Church, a young man with gray hair fluttering in the wind appeared. It seemed as if he was seeing Zion, now a man.

Jacob’s cool gray eyes were filled with Kamai. I’d heard he was crazy, but his gaze was so calm. It was as if he was looking at an insect or a rock, not a person.

All of the Trackers’ attacks were aimed at Kamai. There’s also Allen, but he’s just a lackey to anyone’s eyes.

“I’m not that relaxed, so can you move slowly? Stop looking around!”

The problem was Jacob. Two of the five death knights raised by Kamai had already returned to the earth. The cutting power of the sword, which contained the power of vibration like Zion, was terrifyingly excellent.

“Is the horsepower enough?”

Kamai didn’t answer. In fact, it was a useless question.

Alan wrapped his bones in the magical power he had taken from Kamai. As the turquoise energy flowed through the bones, the engraved runes glowed brightly.

As Alan stretched out his arms to the left and right, a heavy rock flew towards him. The huge stone arm hit the ground with a thud.

There was no need to worry about it losing its balance, because rocks had already been attached to other parts to form a huge body.

Alan, who had become the core of the golem himself, stood up. His 7-meter-tall body looked down at the pursuers. And he moved as he thought.

When I hit the ground with my left hand, several pursuers floated up. I swept them away with my right arm.

“The evil wizard summons a golem!”

“Brothers! There is a familiarity in the Golem’s movements!”

As soon as Alan heard those words, he realized that he was using Shiva’s martial arts without realizing it.

“The necromancer is toying with my brother’s soul!”

“Kill him!”

Naturally, since Allen, who had been possessed, was seen as nothing more than a servant, all the anger was directed at Kamai.

Alan unintentionally set the pursuers’ hearts on fire and escaped the scene. His original target was Jacob.

He ran towards him with a loud thump and jumped high. Jacob didn’t dodge even though a shadow was cast over his head. He glanced at the golem and instead held on to his sword tightly.

The gray light glowed. The sword energy that had been compressed and used stretched out and split the golem up and down. No, it was trying to do that.

The sword energy penetrated but did not cut through, and the golem completely covered the ground.

thud!

As soon as Alan sensed Jacob had escaped, he pulled his weapon out of his side. The rock whip struck Jacob in midair.

Jacob flew horizontally, smashing through a tree and heading for the next one. Before he reached it, he spun around and clung to the trunk with the soles of his feet.

The stem bent like a bow without breaking, and shot Jacob’s body out like a catapult.

The golem’s arm was dug into by the sword energy. Alan struck the spot where Jacob had landed with his other arm as if swatting a fly.

Jacob was seen leaping between the rising stone fragments. Alan had calculated that he would dodge as well. The magic contained in the stone trembled violently.

Boom boom boom!

Jacob’s body was engulfed in a chain of explosions. But the flames couldn’t hold him back for long. A charred Jacob stood with both feet on the ground and looked up at the golem.

“Who are you? Who taught you those runes?”

“I developed it.”

“That’s funny. That’s knowledge that’s too early to come out into the world.”

“What is that···.”

Alan wanted to ask more, but Jacob’s answers were only black.
