Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 132

Even in his confusion, Jinseong had no choice but to run towards the fairy who had run away.

How many fairies are there who use magic?

In fact, many of the fairies I saw while chasing after Dragon Knight users were using cold weapons.

Originally a wasteland before the great wizard Mayer created the great magic circle, this place became the flowing forest, Granfloris.

Before that, the fairies in this area practically made a living by stealing, so it was only natural. In such a situation, what if a fairy used magic, especially a fairy holding a staff that emanated a blue aura?

‘I have to check. Damn, I feel like it’s 100% correct… … !’

He is most likely a glutton.

This is also a judgment that Jinseong can make and a recognizable contamination because he knows the background setting.

Jinseong ran with a sad face.

The unidentified fairy was still running, screaming and groaning, but it didn’t take long for them to catch up.

“Fairy ahead! It’s more dangerous there! The fire is strong and there are forest wizards and elder goblins!”

This was because Jinseong was faster than her in terms of running speed, and he knew very well how to stop a frightened fairy.

If you hate fighting and tend to run away, just letting them know what dangers lurk in that direction is enough.

“Who, who, then how…….”

The unidentified fairy stopped.

Jinseong approached him and tried to talk to him.

But as soon as he turned his head towards Jinseong, he raised the staff he was holding.

“Hot, don’t come near me!!”

The four sharp tips, like a trident, instantly froze.

That wasn’t the end of it. If there was a reason to make a staff into a spear, then there had to be only one.

Shhhhhhhh!

The unidentified fairy held a long staff in both hands and casted a series of stabs at Jinseong.

“Hey, wait! I just came here to hear your name- But isn’t this an Ice Master skill?! Why-. No, just tell me your name! What’s your name, Fairy!”

Even in the midst of all this, there were some parts that made Jinseong feel embarrassed, but now was not the time to worry about that.

Jinseong swung his sword and struck his spear away.

“Profit-! Sa, disappear! Get out! I don’t like it! !”

However, the fairy’s fighting power was not to be underestimated.

He cast a skill while holding the staff that had been raised by Jinseong.

A huge ice hammer formed at the end of a long staff or spear.

Booo …

With a chilling sound, he brought down the ice hammer straight down.

Jinseong was bewildered by the sight and watched for a moment, but he was not one to stop.

“……That looks like an icebreaker too…….”

It is a skill that moves forward and cuts down the target, but Jinseong, who is holding a weapon like that, could not just cut down.

It literally only grazed my body with the tip of my tongue, but it was enough.

“Mom, body… what’s wrong, what happened!?”

A ‘holding’ skill that uses the invincibility skill while also stopping the target that has been hit for a short time.

However, there is a drawback in that Jinseong himself must cancel the skill or remain still until the skill casting time ends, but it is effective for now.

Jinseong asked the fairy who was unable to move.

“What’s your name?”

“Do you really think a fairy would tell you her name- her own name so carelessly?!”

Fairies don’t tell their names to just anyone.

It was a setting that Jinseong also knew.

The reason I asked, even though I knew the fact that Seria had mentioned, was because I wanted to wait for the skill time to end.

As soon as he was finally able to move, Jinseong turned around.

The fairy, feeling threatened, also turned around and looked at Jinseong.

Only when the situation became such that they could see each other’s eyes did Jinseong ask.

“It’s delicious. Right?”

“Uh… how?”

That was enough of an answer.

The problem was that even if he confirmed that he was a swindler, Jinseong couldn’t help but sigh.

What should I do from now on?

More specifically?

‘Now how… … . am I going to make Guwishi die here?’

How to cook Guwisi.

This is because Jinseong himself was worried about what he should do to literally correct the polluted elements.

* * *

Jinseong knows.

Currently, the main scenario quest you receive when you create a character in the game Dungeon & Fighter is to defeat ‘Gul Guwishi’ in the dungeon area: Granfloris, Dark Sunderland, and have Seria purify the polluted magic circle.

How could Guwishi, who was literally dead but resurrected as an undead, exist at that point?

‘Guwishi must die here. We cannot let him run away and leave Granfloris like this.’

The body of the Guwisi must exist here.

Only then can the corpse rise up infected and exist as a boss monster called ‘Gulgwisi’.

“What are you? Who are you? The people who set the fire are all wearing the same clothes and masks, but that doesn’t seem right… But there’s a face I haven’t seen in the forest- Ah!? Ho, did you come in from outside-?”

And that’s not all.

If only that were the only condition, Jinseong wouldn’t have to worry like this.

“That…is right.”

If you were to cut off Guwisi right now while you’re answering like this, that would be the end of it.

Although he uses magic that surprises Jinseong himself, there is a fundamental difference in skill.

Jin: Considering that he won the Blue Dragon Tournament and passed the Siran Test, it would not be an easy task for Jinseong to defeat Guwisi at this point.

But that can’t be done.

“Well, then! Do you know a way out? Where should I go?”

When Guwishi rose up as Ghoul in the distant future.

When you become a powerful monster that can use magic even as an undead.

Because he must have some will.

“Do you want to… go out? Don’t you think that you have to protect this forest, no, the ‘magic circle’ from the fire?”

It is the determination to protect the forest.

It is the will to protect Granfloris and further protect the magic circle.

For that, I am prepared to eliminate anyone who threatens it.

Wasn’t it because of that very will that he became a guinea pig and roamed around the magic circle to attack the adventurers and Seria?

But the Guwisi that was right in front of Jinseong was different.

“Why me…? It’s already burned down anyway, so I can just run away. There’s no need to choose to die here.”

There is a distance between the two, where Jinseong asks for help, but also feels like he might run away at any moment.

If Guwisi is literally the only one who thinks about running away, wouldn’t he still try to escape Granfloris even after he dies and becomes an undead?

‘No. Damn it, if I do that, even that will be contaminated again… … .’

This needs to be corrected.

Jinseong thought for a moment.

In the meantime, the one who opened his mouth was Guwisi.

“Anyway… I can’t see the guardian fairies guarding not only the east, but also the west, south, north, and center. So- since there’s nothing I can do, I should just run away.”

I can’t protect the huge forest called Granfloris alone.

There are fairies who are representative guardians who guard each area of ​​the forest.

However, in a situation where such a large fire has broken out, even they cannot play a big role, so Guwishi must be saying that he will run away.

If one had met Guwisi here without knowing anything, he would not have been able to respond to that scream.

You wouldn’t be able to talk about something you weren’t sure about.

But the truth was different.

Rather, he shook his head as he listened to Guwisi’s words.

“No, that’s not true. Seria Kirmin has already called everyone together.”

Jinseong knows.

He had a vivid picture in his head of the scene that the Dragon Knight user, who had just disappeared from his sight, would soon see.

“Kirmin…? How is it that you even reveal your name- even among fairies, they even reveal your last name-”

“Not only Seria Kirmin of the Eastern Forest. The Guardian of the West, Traul. The Guardian of the South, Rowitera. The Guardian of the North, Shuraman.”

“-Ma, that’s ridiculous! Who are you? How… how….”

Guwisi’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out.

Fairies don’t tell their names to strangers.

Especially if you are a guardian-level fairy of each forest, it is basic for you to try to hide yourself thoroughly.

Are you saying that all of these people, not fairies but humans from outside, know about it?!

Compared to the flustered Guwisi, Jinseong was calm.

‘Well, I’ve seen those names when I was doing epic quests. In fact, that’s why I’m still curious. East, West, South, and North came out, but there were five fairies gathered at that time… … So that means one is in charge of the center, but I’ve never seen the name of the fairy in charge of the central forest.’

Rather, I should say that I feel nervous because I think he might ask me questions about things I don’t know.

So Jinseong went out and struck first.

“You said you were going to run away? That’s not right. You’re a fairy too, so you should know that. If the fairy magic circle here in Granfloris is weakened, then eventually Mayer’s great magic circle in the sky will also be in danger. And then what? What’s up there?”

“……I don’t know. What is there?”

“It’s the Middle Ocean. It’s the sea. The sea floating in the sky. If the great magic circle of the great wizard Mayer disappears? All of that enormous water will pour down here, into Arad. It’s not just ‘a lot of rain’; it’s an overwhelming amount of water that will swallow up all of this land. Can you breathe underwater? All of the land will be submerged in water. All of this land will become the ‘seabed’. Do you think you can survive?”

Jinseong spoke beyond the densely spread leaves.

There was a crackling noise of trees falling and sparks flying everywhere, but at least here, where Jinseong and Guwisi were standing, there was still some greenery.

Guwisi looked up at the sky.

The truth could be known just by the way his arm holding the cane was drooping, so he threw one last blow.

“Follow me. I’ll show you.”

Guwisi didn’t say anything, but followed Jinseong.

It had been a while since I had lost a Dragon Knight user, and the forest of Granfloris was so easy to get lost in, but the truth was different.

Because his keen eye was often able to find traces of the fights that users had been fighting while passing by.

If we only found corpses that were stretched out in a certain direction rather than hitting each other, it was natural to wonder who was beyond that direction of travel.

“really…….”

And finally I saw it.

Five fairies that are clearly visible to the eyes of the contemplative Guwisi.

Not only Seria, but also the guardian fairies of the West, South, and North that Jinsung had mentioned, and even the central guardian fairies whose names are unknown.

Seria’s voice rang out.

“It was none other than the human wizard Myer who saved us from danger. Have you forgotten his sacrifice? Now it is time for us fairies to repay that favor.”

It was a small voice, but the power it carried was different.

Jinseong was somehow impressed by that statement that silenced the mouths of all the guardian fairies around him.

“……grace…….”

Would it have been the same for Guwisi?

The silent guardian of the North, Shuraman, continued Seria’s words.

“She is right. Our fairy era has come to an end.”

Although the voice was calm, it contained a strong determination.

The Guardian of the South, Rowite, also nodded.

“……I understand. If I can protect Arad……”

What and who is all this ultimately for?

If you try to live alone, you won’t be able to live.

In the name of saving the world through the power and sacrifice of the entire race of fairies.

When what you can do gradually begins to change into a sense of duty to do what you must do.

“We must protect the magic circle…so that everyone can survive…”

Guwisi also muttered.

Jinseong muttered in a low voice.

“Yes. If you run away as a loser, you won’t be able to survive anyway. However… if you sacrifice yourself to protect the world here, the entire continent of Arad will honor the Elves.”

A word of encouragement, slightly exaggerated but by no means false, determined Guwisi’s heart.

Seria said.

“Thank you. Now, let’s go. To do the last thing we can do.”

Light began to emanate from all the fairies in the east, west, north, south, and center.

Guwishi said.

“I too… will protect the forest. The magic circle. Granfloris. For Arad.”

It seemed that this wasn’t something that only a guardian fairy could do, as light began to rise from Guwisi’s body as well.

Jinseong took a step back, nodded, and said.

“Yeah, work hard… … .”

But I couldn’t finish speaking. I knew I had to work hard, but I didn’t want to ruin the mood by saying, ‘Don’t work too hard later.’

───────────… … !!!

Jinseong saw the moment when the entire Granfloris, where the fire had spread and created a red sky, was filled with pure white light.

It was a card that fell down fluttering.

‘The card came out. So that means the contamination here is over – Hmm!?’

It was the moment when I was trying to grab the card that was presumed to be [Contamination].

As Jinseong’s [Inventory] opened, something suddenly shot out.

The halo of light was still there, blocking my view even an inch ahead, but I could still see the real thing. What it was.

[Oyster Guwisi (Purification)]

“Huh?!”

The [Oyster Slicer (Purification)] card flew towards the [Oyster Slicer (Contamination)] card.

The last thing Jinseong saw was the two cards merging into one.
