Episode 1447. Are you human? Are you from the Burakwi tribe?
Sierra Mountains.
The camp of the western army of the Escatos Kingdom.
Viscount Oscar Abid, Chief of Staff of the Western Army, visited the commander’s quarters.
“Commander.”
“What’s going on?”
When the chief of staff came in, Elio, who had been leaning on the bed, moved to the table.
“I’m sorry you’re taking a break.”
Chief of Staff Abid lowered his head with a sheepish look on his face.
After the midnight sun began, the distinction between rest and sleep became meaningless, creating many ambiguous situations like the present.
“What are you sorry about? “It’s not even bedtime.”
After fighting the monsters, the western army took some time to rest and reorganize.
“We obtained important information through interviewing the survivors.”
“It’s so much information that the Chief of Staff can’t even rest… … . Something?”
“It is said that there is a being in the Sierra Mountains who appears to be a demon lord.”
“Demon Lord?”
Elio’s eyes sparkled.
There’s a demon lord in the Sierra Mountains that I couldn’t meet even while passing through the Kingdom of Tallinn?
Considering the absolute position of the demon lords, it was somewhat surprising.
“Yes, it is said that he stood out by riding a red horse bigger than an elephant and wearing a gold crown. “I saw him commanding winged demons (Astaroids).”
“If you say winged demons, do you mean Astaroids?”
“Yes, if you treated a high-level demon like a servant… … The staff’s opinion is that it must be a demon lord. but… … .”
“but?”
“I wonder why the demon lord is hiding in the Sierra Mountains, abandoning the rich Kingdom of Tallinn.”
The Sierra Mountains were covered in snow all year round, making it difficult for life to survive. It would be no different even if the opponent was a demon.
“Where was the demon lord seen?”
“Valdo Diano Canyon is known as the most dangerous place in the Sierra Mountains.”
“It must be difficult for the Western Army to get there?”
“That’s right. If the sound of a magic gun causes an avalanche, it could become the graveyard of the Western Army.”
“Find someone to guide you to Valdo Diano Canyon. “When the western army leaves the Sierra Mountains, we will then go to Valdo Diano Canyon.”
“Are you planning on defeating the demon lord alone?”
“You have to do it that way. “We can’t leave the demon lord behind.”
“How about organizing a special task force?”
“I heard there are no more people receiving Mana’s blessing? “We must save the knights and wizards.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“It’s because the Chief of Staff doesn’t know yet, but I haven’t even started a losing battle.”
“All right.”
Chief of Staff Abid bowed and retired from the commander’s barracks.
***
Sierra Mountains.
Valdo Diano Canyon.
A giant with a gold crown on his head entered the ice cave deep inside the canyon.
The ice cave was filled with extreme cold.
The colder it got, the stronger it got as it went in, and every time the giant exhaled, ice powder flew around.
It was so cold that not only people but also demons could not walk even a few steps and would freeze to death.
Still, the giant persevered and went deep inside.
The giant and demon lord Beris, who had been walking fast for a while, slowed down.
We finally reached the end of the ice cave.
In front of the transparent ice wall stood a rectangular metal pillar shining silver.
Standing in front of the metal pillar, Beris seemed as small as a dwarf.
Beris muttered, stroking the metal pillar with his fingers.
“That’s amazing. Even with my alchemy, I can’t break the barrier… … . Should I just destroy it?”
Beris scratched the metal pillar with his sharp fingernails.
Kiiiiii!
Along with an unpleasant friction sound, long fingernail marks appeared on the metal pillar.
However, the marks soon disappeared like a lie.
When Beris saw that, a light of greed appeared in his eyes.
“It would be a waste to destroy it.”
The metal pillar was a relic of the Titans from ancient times.
The Titans’ relic is called ‘Ladder of Immortality’ among demons.
That metal pillar contains the power of the Titans, who defeated even the evil god Shaitin.
Considering that a fingernail can split steel like tofu and barely leave a trace, the thing inside the metal pillar is probably ‘ethernum’.
The fact that even traces soon disappear is due to the unique regenerative effect of Eternum.
If he, the demon lord, obtains Eternum, he may become the king of monarchs.
When I thought about that, my mouth started watering.
Beris soon gathered dark ether in his palm and touched the metal pillar.
At that moment, geometric patterns quickly appeared and disappeared on the surface of the metal pillar.
Is this a text from the Titans that is only known in legend?
Whatever it was, Beris was pushed back by the strong rebound that followed.
Beris’ body screamed ‘Pow!’ An explosion was heard.
The shock wave was strong enough that an ordinary demon would have exploded and died.
However, Beris was only pushed back three steps.
“dare!”
Veris, whose pride was hurt, grabbed the air and threw something at the metal pillar.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
A heavy explosion was heard continuously from the metal pillar.
There were cracks in the surface of the metal pillar, but they soon returned to their original appearance.
Beris, who had been huffing and puffing in front of the metal pillar, slumped down on the spot.
Beris, who had been motionless for several hours, slowly stood up.
“Give up.”
After three years of research, we have found one thing.
It is true that metal pillars are hostile to demons.
Since the Titans fought against the evil god Shaitin, perhaps it was only natural.
“We need to get rid of this.”
It is true that I am greedy for Eternum, but if it is impossible, I must give it up completely.
And if I can’t have it, I have to get rid of it.
Beris took out his life’s masterpieces that he had collected in a subspace warehouse.
“The cold protects it, so we can burn it with fire.”
He piled up all kinds of fire weapons made through alchemy around the metal pillar.
Since he had used up all his firepower, not only the metal pillar but also everything else would have melted and disappeared.
Just before activating the firearm, Beris touched the metal pole once again.
It was so sad that he had to destroy the Titans’ relics with his own hands.
Was such a sorrowful feeling conveyed?
Even though I did not use the dark ether, a geometric pattern suddenly appeared on the metal pillar.
The pattern was not an eerie red like before, but a warm green.
‘huh?’
Beris stared at the green pattern with blank eyes.
The green pattern that started at the tip of the metal pillar went around the metal pillar and came down to the floor.
Finally, as if we had arrived at our final destination, a green symbol blinked on and off at the bottom.
Dry saliva gulpted down Barry’s throat.
Instinctively, he knew that now was the time to make the final choice.
Either burn it down as you initially decided, or accept the arrangement of the metal pillar.
The Titans are hostile to the demons, descendants of the evil god Shaitin.
Should we accept the Titans’ arrangement?
However, it is not an angry red light, but a green color that I have never seen before.
I don’t know how, but it seemed like the damn barrier might have been lifted.
Veris hesitated for a long time at the crossroads of whether to activate the firearm he had made and leave or accept the Titans’ plan.
He, who was in agony, was about to take a step closer to the metal pillar.
Knock!
A faint explosion was heard outside the cave.
Beris stopped and turned his head towards the cave entrance.
After being quiet for three years, it seems that outside forces have now invaded the canyon.
Astaroids, high-level demons, are guarding the canyon, so it will soon become quiet.
Kukukukuk!
Beris frowned.
The explosion sound was not subsiding, but was getting louder.
“crazy… … .”
Considering the snow that has accumulated on the mountains on both sides of the canyon for hundreds of thousands of years, it shouldn’t be like that.
If that many eyes collapse, even Astaroids will become dangerous.
Moreover, the monsters and beasts below are sure to die.
Kukukukukukuk!
“What are you doing!”
Beris, unable to bear it any longer, rushed out of the cave like lightning.
Beris, who had just left the cave, opened his mouth wide.
The corpses of Astaroids, high-level demons, were lined up in front of the cave.
“Who are you?”
As Beris shouted, the Astaroid chieftain fell in front of him like a thunderbolt.
“My lord! “A human has invaded and is killing the Astaroids!”
“Where is Bellato!”
Bellato was Beris’ champion and was the second strongest after Beris.
“He died.”
“A human or something killed the champion? “Are you saying that now?”
“Well, it definitely looked human.”
The Astaroid chief looked up at Beris with eyes of injustice.
Kukukukuk!
With another loud explosion, the Astaroids fell like fallen leaves.
Beris, who was glaring at the Astaroid Chief, asked.
“Where is that human?”
At that moment, something flew like lightning from the top of the mountain and landed in front of the cave.
It was Elio, holding the Void Sword in one hand.
“Are you a demon lord?”
The Astaroid chief, who was watching, quietly took a step back and walked away from the two.
Beris tilted his head as he saw the black crystal sparkling inside the human chest.
“That is an artifact of the Buraqui tribe. Are you human? “Are you from the Burakwi tribe?”
“I asked if you were a demon lord!”
Beris looked at the other person with a bewildered expression.
I wanted to crush that head right now, but for some reason, I felt like I had to give him an answer first.
“Yes, I am Beris, Lord of Helmut. Are you human? “Are you from the Burakwi tribe?”
Beris looked intently at his opponent.
Now that he had made a concession, it was the other person’s turn to respond.
“Beris? “Why did you stay away in the snowy mountains, leaving Aleks and Tallinn behind?”
Beris couldn’t help but cry as the questions continued.
“I answered your question. This is your turn. Are you human? “Are you from the Burakwi tribe?”
Elio thought for a moment and answered.
“I am the Lord of Mokubas.”
“It was the Buraqui tribe, after all. “Then why did you kill my champions and servants?”
Elio lifted his index finger and flicked it left and right.
“No, no. Think carefully. Now it’s your turn to answer. “Why did you stay away in the snowy mountains, leaving Aleks and Tallinn behind?”
“Oh, that?”
“Yeah, that one.”
Beris thought quickly, but couldn’t come up with a suitable excuse.
Especially if it was a demon race that used small minds like the Buraqui tribe, they would never fall for it.
“I’ll tell you honestly. While passing through the Sierra Mountains, I discovered the Temple of Onistos. So, I stayed for a while and investigated the temple. Now it’s my turn, right? Why did you kill my champions and servants?”
“I only fought back because they tried to kill me first. I am a pacifist. “What is the Temple of Onistos that you are even investigating?”
Beris pursed his lips at the other person’s shameless answer.
A fire broke out inside me, but I held back.
This is because I have heard rumors about the monarch of Mokubas that sting my ears.
Moloch, the former monarch of Mokubas, was stronger than himself.
The opponent was a vicious bastard who killed Moloch and took over Mokubas.
“It’s surprising that a monarch from the Buraqui tribe doesn’t know about the Temple of Onistos.”
“Don’t be surprised, just teach me.”
“Onistos is the temple of the Titans.”
“aha! I guess there was something great in the Titans’ temple? Right? I can see that your eyes are shaking, so it’s true. What did you find here? “Tell me what you’re going to tell me anyway.”
Elio smiled round and round and pressed the other person with an overbearing look.
