Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 75
Only Noblemtl
Episode 75
The game of tag to death has begun.
Survivors flee, assassins pursue.
The irony is that these fleeing elves were once the ones pursuing.
I killed a lot of people.
Because in the doctrines they had learned, non-elven races were no different from insects that could be trampled to death without any problem.
But now the positions have been reversed.
Humans chased them, and they fled.
If you get caught, you die.
Not metaphorically, really.
The game of tag began and within 0.3 seconds, one person fell down dead.
It didn’t stop there, Youngsoo chased after the rest.
The tip of Youngsoo’s sword danced.
Two, three, five, eight.
And so on to the last ninth.
They could not even leave this empty space, and were all shot dead by Yeongsu.
Who among them would have expected this?
They barely escaped from hell, only to find the designer of hell waiting for them.
“after.”
Yeongsu wiped the blood on the knife with the dead man’s collar.
At that moment, an elf approached Youngsu from behind.
Youngsoo asked without even looking up.
“Are you here?”
“Let’s go. I found the entrance.”
It was Swaus.
“But you weren’t blocked while you were locked up?”
“I dug it up, so no one will know where it is anyway.”
The place they arrived was under a rock a little bit away from the main temple.
At first glance, it looked like any other large rock you could see anywhere, but if you looked through the grass beneath it, you would find a small door hidden there.
It was the entrance to a secret passage leading into the Great Temple.
Youngsoo looked down at the hole and asked Swaus.
“But weren’t you an archbishop?”
“Why are you suddenly asking that?”
“No, I was wondering if someone as high as an archbishop could come up with something like this.”
“It was made during my time as a common priest. To allow access to the outside of the Great Temple.”
“What on earth are you trying to do?”
“…to buy alcohol.”
“This guy was a punk.”
Compared to the hole-like entrance, the passageway was surprisingly wide enough to walk around while standing.
It wasn’t dark thanks to the scattered luminescent stones.
The two walked quietly like that for a while.
It was quiet.
It was not only because there was nothing to say, but also because of the tension that Swauss was holding in his heart.
‘If Cheon Yeong-su covets the Holy Sword, what should I do?’
Swaus’ ultimate goal is to obtain the Holy Sword Kairus and then seize hegemony over elf society.
However, if Youngsoo covets the Holy Sword, it could become a situation where they have no choice but to confront each other.
‘… We shouldn’t go into that situation.’
Because he also knew Youngsoo’s fighting ability.
If you’re not careful, you’ll end up in defeat, and if you do well, you’ll end up in destruction.
Therefore, any clash between the Holy Swords had to be avoided at all costs.
And that tension made him even more reserved.
And above all… … .
‘He’s my colleague.’
Youngsoo was a colleague.
A comrade who has fought the war together with me.
The possibility that I might have to point a knife at a colleague like that was painful, regardless of whether I won or lost.
At that moment, these thoughts were following each other.
“Is this it?”
Youngsoo’s question interrupted Swaus’ thoughts.
“Uh, um? What do you mean?”
“Is this the end of the passage?”
The end of the tunnel that Swaus had dug appeared.
But there was no exit at the end of the tunnel.
Just a mud wall.
But Swauss was calm.
“It’s the end.”
“Where is the exit?”
“Upstairs. It’s a passageway connected to the warehouse floor.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
It was such a trivial memory that I had forgotten it.
Sure enough, the exit was hanging from the ceiling of the passageway.
Now all you have to do is push it up to open it… … .
“…Why isn’t this opening?”
It was strange.
No matter how hard I pushed, the door wouldn’t open.
‘What? There’s no such event in the game?’
No matter how hard Youngsoo and Swauss combined to lift the door, it wouldn’t budge.
In addition, the ceiling of the passage was ambiguously high, so I couldn’t apply enough force.
After some more muttering, Swauss came to a conclusion.
“It looks like someone placed an incredibly heavy object on top of the door.”
“What the heck… … .”
Yeongsu, who was wondering why this suddenly happened, soon figured out the cause.
‘I see, it’s because the start of the war has been brought forward.’
Never before in a game has a war started this early.
But because the start of the war was brought forward, something in history changed.
‘It’s so ugly that the war couldn’t continue because the door couldn’t be opened.’
Don’t worry for a moment.
Yeongsu opened his inventory as if something had occurred to him.
Looking at it, Swauss said in a worried voice.
“Just a wall bomb won’t do.”
“Hey, do you know what kind of bomb I am?”
“Who came up with the idea of turning that big stadium into a minefield?”
“fizzle.”
What Youngsoo took out from his inventory was a bottle of liquid.
“What is that?”
“Special growth promoter made by our gardeners.”
“… Do you carry something like that in your inventory?”
“As the inventory capacity increases, you end up putting all sorts of things in it.”
Youngsoo activated his skill.
—-
[Skill] ‘Origin of the Forest’ activated.
—-
A seed grew on Youngsu’s palm.
Youngsu planted the seeds on the floor under the door and poured in a growth promoter.
Then the tree began to grow at a frightening rate.
The growing tree slowly but surely pushed open the door.
A little later.
Gurrrruk… … .
The door slowly began to open.
As soon as the gap in the door opened large enough for them to escape, Young-soo and Swaus quickly escaped from the tunnel.
After coming up, I noticed that the door wouldn’t open.
Because there were huge metal boxes stacked high above the door.
“… That’s why it didn’t open.”
Anyway, with this, the invasion of the Great Temple is complete.
Now all that remained was the battle… … .
“Wait a minute, are there any weapons in this warehouse?”
“If you’re looking for precious weapons, there are none. There are only ordinary, low-level weapons here.”
“That’s enough.”
Sling.
Yeongsu pulled out a greatsword that was in a box.
“The thickness is just right, the strength is just right… I guess I’ll have to go with this.”
Yeongsu packed several swords into his inventory.
These were the greatswords to be used with the ‘Blast Smash Sword’ skill.
While Youngsoo was gathering his weapons, Swauss looked into why the door was suddenly blocked.
‘I had drilled holes in the warehouse because it was hardly touched, but the locations of the warehouse items suddenly changed. That means… ‘
ah.
“Cheon Yeong-su.”
“why?”
“They stole the from this warehouse. That’s why the locations of the items have changed.”
“The hand of murder… …?”
There was a hint of surprise in Youngsoo’s voice.
.
The ultimate weapon for defending the Great Temple base.
The Daeseongjeon side almost never brought this up.
This was because using this would have resulted in significant destruction to the interior of the Great Temple.
But, taking this weapon out of the warehouse… … .
“I guess this means that the Great Temple will also do its utmost to defend itself.”
“This is annoying.”
“Weren’t you prepared for this?”
“That’s right.”
This is the final battlefield of this war.
I never dreamed that it would be easy in the first place.
“Let’s go, Swaus.”
“good night.”
Sling-
Yeongsu took out the poison sword Sigal in one hand, and Swaus pulled his longsword out of its scabbard.
The exit from the warehouse was getting closer.
Soon, Youngsoo placed his hand on the exit door handle and activated his dispel skill.
Crunch.
The doorknob turned.
It was the sound of the curtain rising on the final battle.
* * *
“It’s boring.”
The elf priest guarding the door to warehouse number 3 muttered.
The priest who was standing guard next to him said.
“A full stomach. Life is better the farther away from the battlefield.”
“I think I know why Vice-Captain Carlton hated you. You have no sense of pride at all… Oh, here comes the replacement crew.”
In the distance, the replacement troops were seen approaching.
The two of them stretched for a long time at the thought of taking a break from this tiresome sentry duty.
at that time.
Crunch.
The sound of a warehouse door opening.
The doorknob, which had been tightly locked, turned so smoothly.
“uh?”
“what……?”
Before the stretched out arm could even come down, Youngsoo’s blade arrived first.
Crunch!
The tip of Youngsu’s sword passes through, precisely cutting the vital point.
Immediately afterwards, poison spread from the wounded area and the two collapsed.
Those who were approaching to change shifts drew their swords when they saw this sight.
At that moment, a feeling of dizziness came over them.
“Ugh… … .”
“what…….”
At some point they saw a thin iron needle stuck into their chest.
The poisonous needles that Youngsoo threw.
The venom from the stingers quickly paralyzed them.
dump!
Swauss approached the fallen sentries.
And they collected the bracelets they were wearing.
Those bracelets are a kind of alarm trigger switch.
Swauss used this bracelet to connect backwards to the Great Temple’s alarm system.
“The alarm system has been disabled. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
With the alert system paralyzed, information could not be shared about where or what kind of attack was occurring.
Joint operations could not be carried out without information sharing.
In short, it was a situation where the troops within the Great Temple could be defeated individually.
“Oh, Swaus, by the way, you should put on your mask first.”
“Oh, I forgot.”
It was a mask that Youngsoo specially made for him, judging that it would not be good to reveal that he was an elf to the elves.
Swauss asked, wearing a mask and hood pulled over his head.
“Where did you say you were going from here?”
“Priest’s Lounge.”
It is a place where tired workers who have just finished work can rest and disarm.
“The easiest place to kill the most troops.”
About 3 minutes later, in the priest’s lounge.
There were priests lying around with their weapons unsheathed.
But the rest didn’t last long.
Tagang-
The iron bars blocking the ceiling vent fell down.
And then an unidentified man landed quietly along with the iron bars.
It was Youngsoo.
“What… … !”
The priests hastily tried to gather up their abandoned weapons, but Young-soo’s fingers were faster.
Exactly!
Push tasting!!
When the incendiary glove was flicked, a large amount of smoke came out.
Thick smoke filled the break room, making it impossible to see even an inch ahead.
Of course, Youngsu couldn’t see ahead either.
But it didn’t matter.
—-
[Skill] ‘Echolocation’ activated.
—-
It wasn’t a big deal to figure out the enemy’s location without even looking.
“Who are you!”
“Damn it, the alarm on my bracelet isn’t working!”
That moment when everyone was confused.
Only Youngsoo started to run wild.
Chahak!
Squeak!
Push!!
The smell of blood began to mix with the smoke.
Of course, none of that blood was Youngsoo’s.
Not a single elf was spared from this surprise attack.
There were a few who barely made it out of the break room alive.
Of course, their escape ended there.
“uh?”
wickedness!
Those who escaped were massacred by Swaus, who was waiting outside.
“end.”
“This is the end.”
The two quickly began to advance toward the depths of the Great Temple.
It was extremely stealthy and fast without any hiccups.
Swaus, the vice-captain of the Battle Priests, is aware of the locations of all the sentries within the Great Temple.
Thanks to this, we were able to maintain stealth by taking out sentries everywhere in an instant.
Of course, Youngsoo’s stinger did the hard work of ‘processing’.
But it was not possible to continue progressing like this forever.
Because as they entered the center of the Great Temple, even more dense defensive measures awaited them.
Chirit-
At some point, thin vines began to wrap around Youngsoo and Swaus’s feet.
Vines began to grow here and there on the floor.
Youngsoo muttered.
“… We finally entered the ‘greenhouse’.”
What unfolded before my eyes was a spacious hall.
All kinds of vines and trees began to grow and cover every corner of the hall.
And on top of a wooden pillar rising in the middle of the hall sat a male elf.
What he is wearing is a bright red robe.
It meant a cardinal-level priest.
Swauss said.
“This is Cardinal Wurmut. He is the strongest in the magic of the wood world. He is definitely not an easy opponent.”
At that moment, the cardinal made a slight gesture.
Dozens of vines began to sway as if responding to a gesture.
“The manure came in on its own feet.”
Shhh!
The vines stabbed sharply at the spirit.
Penetrating power that can even pierce through iron plates.
But when the vines reached Youngsu, he was no longer there.
Tagang-
In that place, only a single bullet casing from Matan was lying around.
