Episode 244: King of the Underworld (1)

is a special 3rd tier magic with no fixed limits. As the name suggests, it has the freedom to move the terrain recognized as the land as the caster wishes.

Some of them are actually useful, such as compacting the collapsed ground or erecting pillars to prevent the ceiling of a mine shaft from collapsing.

However, there are few mages who make their main focus or use it directly in battle.

The limitation of being unable to move the terrain unless mana permeates. Extreme inefficiency that consumes horsepower exponentially according to scale.

It was because of the above two fatal factors.

However, now Verden has succeeded in overcoming those shortcomings.

Efficiency is meaningless in front of a magical power comparable to that of a transcendent.

In addition to that, thanks to , the magic king’s method of operating magic, it became possible to spread magic at an unprecedented speed.

At least, the limitations that had held it back have disappeared.

A half-destroyed Loapra.

This was the result.

Verden focused on his magic and sensed his surroundings.

No one has a life anymore.

There was no one who tried to resist like before. The members of the underworld, who had completely lost their will, were on their knees seeking survival.

There were a lot of people trembling while hugging their arms.

‘It’s almost been sorted out.’

Some of them may have fainted on the way, but fell to the ground… … It didn’t bother me, so I didn’t want to touch it.

I felt a presence in the air.

cooong! Galiak, who landed nearby, breathed lightly. His whole body was so bloody that he did not know how many people he had cut.

His face looked refreshed, as if he had paid back at least some of the humiliation suffered while being pursued.

Galliak looked around and slung the Favela over his shoulder. Uncured blood dripped.

“Yeah, you made it very devastating. I don’t know much about magic, but no matter how much I pioneered magic, wasn’t it this much? What the hell have you been eating? huh?”

“well.”

“Baby, look at the rough-and-tumble again. Yeah, don’t tell me if you don’t like it. If I knew it anyway, I wouldn’t be able to use it.”

Galiak scratched his forehead, saying he wasn’t curious.

Instead, he kept glancing at Verden as if he was having fun, and stuttered alone. It wasn’t the look in her eyes that made her feel so good.

Eventually, we arrived in front of the castle in Wintert.

A citadel surrounded by an underground lake at the bottom of a cliff. The ashes of those who died while building a gray castle in the distant past were submerged at the bottom of the lake.

He turned his head forward.

Dozens of people gathered on the bridge leading to the gate. When they saw Verden and Galliak holding their weapons, their shoulders twitched.

‘A member of the Vinterte organization.’

I have no interest.

Since Roapra had already shown the disparity in power, there was no need to deal with them one by one.

Verden listened to Orient.

The atmosphere vibrated at the wave of magical energy that spread out in an instant, and small pieces of stone attracted by the force floated in the air.

The tip of the earth rushes into the castle gate.

Members of the organization on the magic trail jumped off the bridge in a panic. The sound of raging water came from below.

right after that.

Kwadeuk—Kwaaaaaang!

The gates and walls were pierced without a doubt.

The entire castle gate, which had been thrown off balance by the ensuing explosion, collapsed noisily. There was no protective magic circle, as if they hadn’t prepared for intruders.

In fact, even if there was, it would have been to the extent of buying a little time.

“Ha ha ha! It’s cool that it’s not siege magic! Hey, look at those bastards running away wet. It’s very nice to see, isn’t it?”

I crossed the bridge and admired the scenery.

Crossing the collapsed castle gate, he set foot on the outskirts of the castle.

* * *

The head of Vintert’s security line, Draken.

Until recently, he joined the civil war between the princes and played an active role, and recently returned. As always, he wasted his days drinking drugged alcohol.

But today was different.

A roar was heard several times in Loapra, where an earthquake had never occurred before. The vibrations that accompanied him were clearly transmitted to Draken as well.

Standing in the passage that separates the outer and inner walls, Draken remained silent. The sound of the two footsteps soon followed broke the silence.

“… … .”

Draken quietly raised his head.

The entire road leading from the plaza to the castle is in ruins. People on their knees praying in the dust and rubble rising from Loafra.

It was a horror I had never seen before.

Next, I put the focus closer.

Naturally, he looked directly at Verden, who was revealing an unprecedented presence.

Draken has good senses since he was young.

His innate talent was extremely useful in estimating the opponent’s level. A cold sweat broke out on the tip of his chin.

‘… … It’s a monster.’

It is of a different level and level than when I saw it with the Luing Costa gun before.

I couldn’t have imagined that he had achieved that much growth during that time. It must have been that he was hiding his power back then.

At that time, I was trying to antagonize Vintert about the slave brother and sister. He thought it was reckless, but now that he came to see it, he couldn’t help but understand it.

No, I had to convince myself.

‘shit.’

A nightmare from the past comes to mind.

He drank the bottle that Draken was holding at once.

A drug that strengthens the body’s ability and calms the mind penetrates deeply into the body. This amount is highly addictive and has severe aftereffects, but that was an issue later.

Gradually, the mind and body become stable.

I wasn’t in the mood to be swayed by alcohol, but thanks to the strong smell of alcohol, I forgot a little bit of my thoughts. Draken raised his sword.

A mighty aura formed on the blade.

‘It’s better than Slay.’

As Verden tried to deal with it, Galliak stepped forward.

“I deal with that child. I couldn’t even do anything properly because of your crazy magic. And———”

“Then go first.”

“uh? hey! Shit, I’m talking about the elders, but you cut off your words? Hey, you stupid bastard.”

Ignoring it, Verden floated into the air.

Even though he was openly trying to cross the inner wall and head towards the castle, Draken did not stop him. As if I had no intention of doing that at all.

Verden disappeared.

Galliak clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“Tsk tsk, look at how scared you are. If you’re an X-boy who guards the house, shouldn’t you stop it?”

“… … Would you have done that if you were me?”

“I don’t know, what do I know? That bastard is on my side now. Even if it’s okay to lower your tail than that, I’m going to kill the king you serve, but do you just leave it alone? Did you even give up?”

“Hmph, you don’t know His Majesty.”

Draken narrowed his eyes.

“Occasionally there appears in the world a being that the criminal should not dare to confront. That monster named Asher must be one of those beings. His Majesty Hana is also an existence beyond the standard of a criminal.”

and.

“Unless you are a transcendental one, no ‘magician’ can defeat you. Even if it’s the monster that turned Loafra into hell.”

“Ha ha ha ha! to be confident Hey, wouldn’t it be better to refrain from making predictions? That guy named Asher is a fucking abnormal guy. Well, Sajok only ends here.”

Galliak swung his sword.

The wind that followed the trail brushed the drake’s skin.

“Because I’m actually quite a promising adventurer, right? Right now, I’ve been deprived of my adventurer position for a while, but anyway. In that sense, you have business.”

“Anything?”

“I had a fight with a prospective Mithril promotion before and was robbed. I didn’t go all the way, but I couldn’t even touch it properly and ate one.”

Galliak cleared his throat.

I rubbed the curved scar with my fingertips.

“But when I thought about it, I became curious. Are all mithril grades that strong, or is it just that girl that is special? So I’m going to check this out right now. You, a former mithril level, and me, a platinum level adventurer. Which of the two is stronger?”

“Is that important right now?”

“Then fuck, why are you sitting still and watching? Before everything is swept away by Asher, should there be something to gain as well as a weight?”

The Butcher snapped his fingers.

Draken’s forehead twitched at the unlikely provocation.

The corrupted adventurer raised the blade.

Cool eyes stared at the junior adventurer.

“You are nothing but a criminal by the standards of the world. I also belong to the culprit, but in the end you couldn’t be my opponent.”

“Cut the X. If you do everything to each other, stop holding weight, and this plate is an unauthorized cub. ”

Galliak lowered himself.

Putting my weight on my toes, I rushed with all my energy. At about the same time, Draken also threw a bottle and closed in on his opponent.

Kaaaang!

The blade and the sword collided and sparks flew.

* * *

Verden went straight to the top of the castle.

Since he had achieved his original purpose by devastating Roapra, he had no intention of leisurely exploring the castle.

It’s not too late to do that after dealing with the king of the underworld.

Entering the glassless window, a gray carpeted passageway appeared.

A metal door with a picture of a beast at the end of the hallway. I immediately headed there and opened the door with telekinesis.

Three people greeted Verden.

A man in a gray crown sitting on a throne.

Even at a glance, it was an unusual appearance, with dark blonde hair, dull gold eyes, and unusual armor.

In front of him were two heavily armed men.

What sort of prowess would that be? Since the whole body was completely covered, it was difficult to even determine the gender visually.

Verden calmly enters the audience room.

The arrogant ruler of Loafra raised his chin.

“Your appearance is better than what I was told. You’re not a commoner, are you from aristocrats or royalty?”

“Are you the king of the underworld?”

“Answer a question with a question. well, that would be nice.”

The man put his hand on his chest.

The gauntlets with bizarre patterns made a grinding sound.

“My name is Grond Vale di Baladis. He is the king of the underworld, the pinnacle of Vintert and the ruler of Roapra. Welcome to my castle, Asher.”

Grond smiled softly.

Then he cast his gaze over the window of the audience room. There was a ruin named Loapra, which was difficult to find before.

“Anyway, he had a different skill than the rumors. I never thought I’d topple my Loapra like this. I never expected that he would be hiding such power.”

Grond was genuinely amazed.

However, there was no fear-based emotion in his eyes, such as fear. Even though I was watching the horrors embodied by Verden from afar.

“So why did you come all the way here? Is it simply retaliation against me? Or do you want to know why they were targeting you in Vintert?”

“Are you talking about a deal with Leonil?”

“… … !”

Grond revealed his agitation for the first time.

It seemed that he did not know that Verden knew about the inside story.

“Oh, very interesting. You seem to know quite a lot. How much do you know?”

“Do I need to tell someone who will die soon?”

“what? ha ha ha! this… … You are very arrogant.”

Grond’s eyes sank deeply.

“I admit that you are talented enough to be compared to other mages. But there is a stomach above. No matter how great you are, no matter how hard you struggle, you can’t beat me. Because it is natural.”

Grond’s eyes were like steel.

There was an arrogant and absolute certainty that only thought of victory. It’s not just a bluff, it’s a sincere belief.

“I am another king who rules the kingdom’s shadow. Even Leonil, who is said to be the strongest in Estria, can’t touch me carelessly. The person in front of you is just such a being. But do you dare to bear it?”

Grond sneered.

The residents of Loapra may feel dignity as a ruler. But not for Verden.

how to say

that’s like

“It looks like a goblin in a cave.”

It is a widely known proverb.

The goblins who live in the narrow world of caves think they are the best and think they are the strongest. Because you don’t know what the outside world is like, and you don’t know what beings live outside.

A goblin that later leaves the cave behaves the same as when in the cave.

It was the end of a fairy tale, not knowing what it was, wielding small powers and being killed.

How does it compare to Grond?

He lives in a cave called Loapra and calls himself a king. A dark family is not a country, at least not a royal family’s illegitimate child.

Even if he didn’t have to think about what Grond’s ending would be, it was good in Verden’s eyes.

“You have a bad habit of talking.”

“I don’t think you’re wrong.”

Wooddeuk.

Grond bit his molars, revealing his anger.

“Somebody make that mouth shut.”

The reaction was instantaneous.

The guardsmen drew their weapons and rushed at Verden.

Although the two lacked compared to Slay and Draken, they were clearly strong. Enough to keep Grond’s side.

‘Of course, I can’t rule out Asher.’

At least you should be able to know exactly what kind of magic he wields. It was Grond’s own rational decision.

“… … !”

But the expectations were wrong.

Verden coped with only magic and staff. After a total of five battles, a decision was reached.

One was hit in the head with a direct hit and died instantly.

And the bodyguard member Meradon was struck in the abdomen and fell out.

“Ouch… … !”

Falling to Grond’s feet, he coughed up blood and groaned.

He tried to stand up, but beyond the warped armor, the shock to the internal organs was severe. It was a miracle that he didn’t faint.

Grond frowned.

still sitting on the throne.

Verden stared at him coldly.

“I still can’t figure out the situation.”

“You bastard… … .”

“Since you are sitting on the throne, do you feel like a real ruler?”

cooong.

Verden’s staff knocked on the floor.

A wave that echoed once spread throughout the audience room.

“Come down. I’ll tell you who’s higher.”
