Chapter 238: Outside (1)

The mana faded and darkness descended.

Verden rolled his eyes and looked around. The Tomb of the King of Darkness in the Eastern Swamp, no, the space leading to the King of Darkness facility came into view.

The blue sapphire that was used when the space shifter was used is lying on the device without light. Beneath it were things that the wizards of the ark used.

It was the exact same scene as before entering the facility.

Verden moved right away.

As before, there were no artifacts that served as milestones, but there was no way to get lost. The memories of that time were floating in his mind like it was yesterday.

Walk through the door and down the hallway.

When I went back the way I came, a wide open door appeared. The entrance engraved with the supreme octagonal star, the symbol of the Nation of Darkness.

As I climbed the stairs, the familiar scent of the swamps crossed my nose. Before long, a dim shadow fell over Verden.

The explorers’ camp had disappeared, leaving only faint traces behind.

‘It’s been a while.’

Eastern swampy areas where sunlight barely reaches even during the day.

The artifact of the King of Darkness stands in the middle of it. The foreboding landscape and the stench of rotting plants welcomed Verden, but not unpleasant.

Rather, it felt refreshing.

‘Well, since I’ve been in the facility for a long time, is it natural?’

It was summer when I came to the Eastern Swamp.

Judging from the climate, some time has passed since autumn. The food, which was collected from time to time in preparation for an emergency, is almost exhausted at the facility.

Having not been out in the open air for long, I couldn’t help but be glad that it was the worst swamp.

coo coo coo.

The earth rose and hid the surrounding area.

There was little chance of uninvited guests coming this far, and unless they spoke Sapir, they wouldn’t be able to break into the facility, but there was no reason to openly leave it there.

Verden firmly grounded.

It’s unnatural, but time will take care of that. This little hill will become part of the environment, becoming one of the swamps.

After finishing the work, Verden rose high into the sky.

The wide expanse of sky and the surrounding swampland were placed below, activating the magic circuit.

The destination is the city of Asern. The direction is southwest.

* * *

The sky over the Eastern Swamp is always empty.

This is because sub-species and hetero-species who are faithful to their instincts always keep their eyes open. Whether it’s a sparrow or a wizard, if it looks like prey, it will attack without fail.

Of course, if hunting attempts are possible.

Whoaaaaagh!

Verden’s new model penetrated the atmosphere.

A flight speed that exceeds the 5th rank . A golden round rim rose from his body.

‘this… … It’s beyond imagination.’

Einver’s glow.

Even without special magic, Verden was protected from air resistance and impact.

In addition to that, even though only one was created, its speed with the addition of light exceeded predictions. To the extent that swamp hunters would not dare to pursue them.

‘What would happen if the light rings were stacked up to three?’

Assuming that the speed increases at the same level… … You may be able to cover roughly five days’ distance in less than a day.

It was not possible to change direction significantly on the way, but being able to shorten the travel time significantly more than expected was a miscalculation that was only good for Verden.

After a while, the speed exceeded the standard.

Another light ring appeared, and at the same time as two guns overlapped, the surrounding landscape began to move faster.

It was a cool way home that made me feel refreshed inside.

Verden touched Einver as if he was satisfied.

There was no metal at all, and a soft and smooth touch was felt on the fingertips. To think it had that much resistance despite such a thin thickness.

It was at odds with basic common sense, but it was natural.

Because dragon scales and leather are classified as the highest quality materials in the world. Apart from its special performance, its defense power is overwhelming.

‘But don’t rely too much on it.’

The material of the dragon is touching the upper limit.

In other words, it was already a limitation in itself, so it was impossible to further increase performance. It was unreasonable to produce something while maintaining its performance.

Therefore, artifacts related to dragons are created with special functions by sacrificing some of the material’s performance during the production process.

‘In other words, Einver’s defense is lower than dragon’s scales and skin.’

The overall resistance is very high, but because it is in the form of a lobe, the slash resistance is relatively weak. Even so, it still shines, but it can never be invincible.

If it was an existence or artifact that could damage the dragon’s scales, Einver would not be able to protect Verden.

For example, such as transcendental… … .

While thinking deeply, Verden suddenly remembered the manager.

‘It should have disappeared by now.’

At one time, Verden also lived a terminally ill life as his body was damaged by an experiment.

Because he was such a person, he understood the feeling of waiting for death, but he did not know what the manager, the alter ego of the King of Darkness, would have been like.

Still, I hope the last one left without regret. Verden expressed his condolences without words.

“Anyway, a colleague.”

I’ve never tried to go on a journey with someone before. No, you’re right, I didn’t even think about it.

Because he prioritized Verden’s own strength above all else. Because in order to destroy the mage tower and the mage lord, he also had to rise to the top of transcendence.

I couldn’t even afford to feel alone.

And now Verden is a semitranscendentalist.

Now, if you only get mental enlightenment, you become the transcendental person you so longed for. However, it was still a long way to go beyond that wall.

It’s clear that the road we’ve walked so far hasn’t gone wrong… … So it’s not that the direction is wrong, but that something is lacking?

‘Maybe it’s a colleague.’

To be honest, I had no idea what enlightenment it would bring.

Still, it was worth considering. Apart from Transcendence, there were definitely people who had a grudge against Bohemirn’s Magic Tower, and if we were together, it would be of great help to Verden’s revenge.

I don’t know if they actually have the heart to seek revenge.

Whatever it was, Verden did not take the manager’s advice lightly.

Love love love!

Eventually, the three light sources overlapped.

In just a few hours we reached the outskirts of the swamp. Speed ​​is also speed, but it was a result that was possible because it could not be bound by the complex terrain of the swamp.

‘I’ll be able to reach Aserun in a day or two.’

That was when I was thinking.

───Kwaaang!

An explosion was heard from afar.

It was exactly the path that overlapped with Verden. As I looked forward, black smoke rose from the swamp.

After a while, the red heat rose again. It is definitely an artificial explosion.

‘Who is subjugating sub-species in the swamp?’

Verden tilted his head and closed one eye.

A sphere of magical power was formed in the sky.

Half of the vision illuminated the epicenter of the uproar. A scene in which a man with dirty clothes is running desperately and is being chased by a large number of people.

Judging by the movement, it was a professional workmanship.

‘It’s a chase in the kingdom’s ban.’

It was a question.

What the hell is going on in the Eastern Swamp? Neither the fugitive who hid here nor the pursuers who followed him could be seen as normal.

If it wasn’t a strong person, it would have been like jumping into a limb with my own feet. Even from Verden’s point of view, the prohibition environment itself was very poor… … .

for a moment.

Verden took a closer look at the fugitive. It was a face I remember.

‘Fernet’s informant?’

My name is Gedson.

He is Ferne’s informant in Asern. At her tavern, she ran into Verden a few times as well.

But why are you being chased? Moreover, in the eastern swamps?

The worry was fleeting.

Verden, who immediately made a decision, activated Einver. As the three light circles rotated fiercely, the whole body was dyed in golden light.

Einver’s space movement.

With the light, Verden’s figure disappeared at once.

* * *

Gedson and several other informants took Fernet’s orders and headed for the vicinity of the Eastern Swamp.

It was to avoid Vintert’s pursuit in the tiny safe house and at the same time meet the gray-haired wizard.

Of course, there was little hope of the latter happening.

You never know when he might come out of the swamp.

There was a very high possibility that it would pass through flight without knowing it. Still, it was better than letting go, so the informants divided their zones and watched the area around the swamp.

days without promises. It was boring, but not too bad.

At least they won’t be pursued by the infamous Assassins of Vintert. The traces were definitely erased.

‘I did!’

Gedson ran through the swamp and slightly turned his head.

Assassins spewing bloody murder were closely pursuing.

“Damn it!”

Why did this happen?

I honestly don’t know. I understood that they suddenly appeared, but I don’t know why they came to the swamp.

There’s no way they’d come all the way here just to catch an informant.

‘Fucked. Really fucked.’

Gedson broke out in a cascade of cold sweat.

Due to the terrain of the swamp, his physical strength was low, and all consumables such as smoke bombs and explosives were exhausted. It was only a matter of time before they were caught.

Even a single monster out of the swamp was doom.

I can’t see a way to live

die like this? Gedson felt his eyes darken.

Whoaaaaagh!

At that moment, a light burst in front of him.

“What, what?!”

A pillar of light that appeared out of nowhere. Gedson covered his face and winced.

The assassins were also flustered by the unexpected situation. Then, in the radiance, a person appeared.

The light that disappeared.

Gedson barely lifted his head and soon opened his eyes.

“Oh, Mr. Asher!”

A gray-haired man in a radiant robe who did not even dare to touch. It was the first time I had seen the outfit, but the face and atmosphere were still the same.

“Is the author Asher?”

“It is the face as I have heard. Lucky to meet you here.”

Assassins gripped the hilt as if it had been a windfall.

It would have been a great feat to secure him here and deliver it to Loapra. The reward will be indescribably hefty.

Greed and life are intertwined.

Verden, who was looking at him, asked Gedson.

“What the hell is going on?”

I have a lot to say.

There was no time for a leisurely explanation.

Gedson quickly summarized the case.

“We are tracking Asher-sama in Vintert, and because of that, Ferne-sama is in danger, so she asked Calia-sama for help!”

“me? The reason is.”

“Well, I don’t know that at all.”

do not know

Then you should ask the masters.

“Why are you following me in Vintert?”

“That’s something only the King of the Underworld knows. You guys just need to get caught. If you don’t want to be dragged around with your joints cut off.”

The assassins growled.

like a threat. Verden took a step without a word. Then the assassins quickly divided and surrounded him from all sides.

“Don’t move hastily. This one is wearing a magic item that increases resistance to lightning. No matter how unique you are, the 4th tier electric magician will kill all of us———”

Pajijijijik!

At that moment, starting from Verden, a wave of lightning swept around.

It was so sudden that it was difficult to even react properly. There was no pain whatsoever.

The assassins looked at the static on their bodies.

“What is this… … ?”

A thunderbolt exploded inside.

There was no use at all for resistance to the electric shock that even erased the screams of death. This is the destructive power of 6th tier lightning magic.

‘Is it because I only received requests from the Marquis of Esperenza?’

When the heck did you mention the enemy 4th tier?

It seemed that the information about Verden hadn’t been properly updated for a long time, probably because it was only because of the confidentially important quests.

‘I said it was a more peculiar trait.’

Verden is not a specific trait.

But the assassins dispatched from Winterte were convinced.

What is the reason?

The answer came right away.

‘Could it be Leonil?’

The castle of the first prince who infiltrated through a secret social gathering place.

In the laboratory hidden there, the magician Drebus, who was trying to dissect Karanth, said.

───I’m talking about His Highness the First Prince and Vintert. The two of them have been kidnapping people with special traits for a long time and sending them to His Majesty. Every time that happened, His Majesty gave a reward… … I don’t know what I got.

‘Isn’t that mysterious experiment over yet?’

It seems so.

If you look at the massive movement that went this far in Wintert. I don’t know why I mistook myself for a peculiar trait.

Verden narrowed his brows.

I don’t know about Leonil, who conducted the human experiment, but I had no idea what to do with Vintert.

But this way, the other side first touched my nerves… … .

“Shall I erase it?”

“Yes, yes?”

“It’s self-talk. So where is Ferne?”

Gedson hastily pulled out a map.

He had witnessed the assassins of Vintert slain in a single stroke of magic right in front of his eyes. He felt relieved that the culprit was on his side, but he was also scared.

“Ka, if Calia-sama had moved in a flying boat, she would have already picked up Ferne-sama and her companions. Then maybe… … .”

With trembling hands, he pointed to a place on the map.

“here. It will be around here. You must be heading to the safest line.”

It’s not that far.

direction is south. The distance was rather closer than Aserun.

“is it. Thanks for letting me know.”

“Oh, no. I thank you for saving my life.”

“Is there anywhere to hide nearby?”

“Ah, yes. Heading southeast from here… … Wow?!”

Verden separated part of the ground on which Gedson was standing and floated it in the air.

Then, he put on a magic shield. This was to prevent it from flying away without being able to withstand the speed.

Gedson’s face was stained with bewilderment.

“Hey, Mr. Asher?”

“Guide me. I will take you there.”

I can’t leave it in the swamp like this.

Although the outside is close, a tired Gedson could have been attacked and killed by a monster.

Verden floated high into the sky with Gedson.

A high-speed flight followed shortly thereafter.

“uh? Hey, why is this speed… … wait a minute! Wait a minute, Mr. Asher! too fast! It’s fast! I’ll just walk, so please go down———”

Gyaaaaaaaaagh!

Informant Gedson.

His desperate screams continued for a while.
