Episode 136

Bubble bubble.

The green liquid he left behind was bubbling as if it was boiling even at the very bottom.

“Be careful, if you touch it even a little bit, it won’t be a good thing.”

“I know.”

It’s not a very good situation for us, who have to go retrieve the greatsword.

That’s why I tried to proceed with the task of recovering the greatsword without touching it as much as possible… … .

[Ugh… … I was wondering why Ma-an wasn’t working. Was it because of that?]

[Father, my magic too… …!]

Neither the spider’s eye nor the dracolich’s magic worked on that greatsword.

When I looked at Leona in bewilderment at that sight, she belatedly spoke as if making an excuse.

“Oh, come to think of it, I think my mother once said that it was a weapon that contained the power of the devil……”

“……I had a feeling that his magic wasn’t working very well. Was it because of that greatsword?”

In the end, if magic doesn’t work, you have no choice but to pull it out yourself.

If we had just sent the skeletons, they would have likely dissolved or been contaminated by that strange green liquid, so the Dracolich had to come forward in this process.

[father…….]

Flutter, flutter.

She was the only one among us who could fly purely.

I would ride up top in case of an emergency, and Leona would ride in case she could find other clues. The Dracolich flew towards the green liquid once again.

Phew-.

The dracolich quickly reached over the guy’s corpse with the sound of the wind cutting through it.

While hanging onto the forelegs of the dracolich, Leona reaches for the sword.

“Ugh, it’s heavy……!”

Leona grimaced, unable to lift the sword despite its heavy weight, even though she had grabbed it.

Even the Dracolich felt something strange about the sword that would not come out no matter how hard it flapped its wings, and so it asked me for help.

[Father, give me strength… …!]

“i get it.”

Only after the King of Cognition’s hands and arms were completely removed did the Dracolich’s body begin to rise upwards, and finally, with a thud, the greatsword was pulled out of its body.

“Ahhhh! My arm! My arm is coming off!”

However, the weight did not decrease, so Leona, who was holding the greatsword herself, screamed.

Regardless, I eventually managed to pull the greatsword out of the guy and return it to its original position, and the undead immediately gather around me.

[This is it… … .]

[Is this the clue we were looking for?]

It was like that when I saw it, but it was an even bigger sword when I actually saw it in person.

It’s hard to believe that we actually fought over something like this.

“Just in case, I don’t think it’s possible that it’s someone else’s sword, Leona.”

“Yes, there is a mark of our mother on one side of the sword.”

As Leona spoke, her gaze fell upon the lower part of the sword’s blade, where there was a scribbled-like letter.

Then it was certain that this was something her mother had used.

“I don’t know what it’s made of… but it hasn’t discolored or corroded even though it wasn’t left in for more than a day or two.”

Not only that, the blade is still sharp even though it has probably been a long time since it was sharpened.

Of course, compared to a normal sword, it was lacking, but considering that it was a greatsword, there was almost no damage to it, to the point where it was practically brand new.

“It may have been used much more recently than we thought.”

“…….”

Leona didn’t respond to what I said and just continued to examine the sword carefully.

Have you found the beginning of something that might be a clue, or not?

‘Are you still hopeful?’

The hope that his mother might still be alive.

Both she and I knew that it was impossible, but we couldn’t say anything about it.

If I heard the news that Southern was alive right now, I would go and rescue him without hesitation.

So what I can do now is to help her without disturbing that hope as much as possible.

“……hmm.”

And then it just so happened that I had a pretty good clue.

“The smell of blood.”

Necromancy is ultimately a power that is related to corpses, and so if you come into contact with corpses often, you will begin to smell all sorts of smells.

There are many smells, such as the smell of a freshly decaying corpse, the stench of insects laying eggs on a corpse, etc., but the strongest smell of all is the smell of blood.

I didn’t want to get used to the smell of blood that I had become accustomed to when living as a necromancer.

As I tried so desperately to avoid getting used to it, my nose started to become more and more sensitive than it was used to.

No matter how shallow, no matter what kind of blood is involved.

Distinguishable enough.

“……It’s shallow, but I can smell blood.”

But that doesn’t mean you can smell blood from tens or hundreds of years ago.

It was an ability that was limited to a few months at most, or a few years at most.

Of course, that alone is not something a normal human would have, and it may be an ability that I acquired only after becoming a necromancer… … But that wasn’t the important thing.

“They are humans, and not just one or two.”

The sword smells like blood.

That fact was important.

“At least dozens… or maybe hundreds.”

That’s a huge number too.

Only then did Leona, who had been silent, ask quietly.

“What else?”

Her voice was flat as she spoke, still not looking back at me.

“There is no other smell of blood besides human. There is no possibility of being a contaminated human. If so, the blood would smell different.”

It was information I realized while cutting down polluted humans in the city a little while ago.

The blood of the contaminated human was cloudy and smelled like urine instead of iron.

As if even the blood had become corrupted.

“……My mother had many enemies.”

Indifferently, Leona brought up her mother’s story again.

“It’s common for people who are simply kind and compassionate to get scammed or cheated on the back… but my mother had too much strength to let that happen.”

Thud.

She holds the handle of the greatsword.

“Otherwise, in a tower where no one could survive, my mother, who tried to live uprightly as if nothing happened… must have been a thorn in everyone’s side.”

“Leona.”

Woohoo!

As if that was the sound, Leona lifted the greatsword.

Of course, her face was still flushed as if she was still heavy.

The arm holding the sword was trembling and looked so precarious that it was questionable whether he would be able to swing it even once.

“So, you killed him!”

Still, she took hold of the greatsword.

“……Mors, if what you said is true, then I can understand why our mother lost. She wasn’t killed by a monster of this size…… If she fought a monster of this size with that many people, then it would be understandable.”

“And that means…….”

This guy, who was a subordinate of those groups and foreign media, fought together.

No, even if they didn’t fight together, they weren’t hostile to each other.

We all knew what that meant, because we had all been there.

“Foreign news.”

The people who killed her mother and the foreign media had some kind of connection.

As soon as she reached that answer, her eyes quickly turned to the corpse of the giant that had fallen just a moment ago.

She was trembling as if she wanted to swing the greatsword at the corpse lying there, seemingly submerged in a pool of green sap.

“Leona.”

He called her over.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I have to… cut that guy down.”

She muttered with her lips pursed.

“I have to cut that guy’s body up and tear it apart…!”

“Is that all?”

She was now burning with vengeance.

A flame that seems like it could burn everything at any moment, even itself.

“If you’re satisfied with just hacking up a dead body instead of killing the guys who killed your mother, then go ahead and do it.”

I have no intention of covering up that fire.

However, you can change the direction of the fire.

“……Is there any good way?”

“If the foreign media and those guys collaborated, the answer is simple.”

Especially if that fire was something I wanted to burn.

There was no reason to hesitate any longer.

“If one of the collaborating sides is defeated, the other one will pop out.”

“……You, surely…….”

Leona’s gaze, which had been filled with anger just a moment ago, changed into a familiar expression.

Needless to say, that was much better.

“There was a guy who had a blast fighting with us a little while ago.”

I raised my head.

As I looked at the sun still shining brightly in the sky after several hours, I called out the name of the man who had dropped the giant from the sky.

“God of corruption.”

The vision in my left eye changed.

As I looked up at that blue sky through the eyes that see Mana, I began to see something different than before.

[iced coffee…….]

It was a text.

It was a voice and also a will at the same time.

[I’m scared.]

It sounded like it was pouring down toward me, written on a semi-transparent object that appeared as if it were a system window.

[I’m so scared, I can’t stand it… … .]

bang.

I heard the sound of something falling.

[Mo, Morse!]

It wasn’t just one.

Thump, thud, thud… … .

In the midst of the sound that continued, the voice said one more word.

[Be corrupt.]

And then it was never seen again.

The knowledge of the stars taught me nothing, as if there was nothing inside me, and even in the eyes that saw mana, there was no longer anything like that system window.

What I saw only then as I lowered my gaze.

“……under.”

The five giants we had defeated earlier were walking in from outside the city.

[This is… … crazy.]

The spider muttered.

No one vomited.

[Is that possible, Father?]

However, there was a voice asking that question.

It was the voice of the Dracolich who was standing quietly next to me.

“Of course.”

[… … I made a slip of the tongue.]

Even though he was undead, his trembling eyes began to calm down.

[Father, anything is possible.]

Damn it.

He took the lead and went down the building.

Perhaps it’s because it takes quite a while to get down there, even though it’s a building on the outskirts of the city.

Before I knew it, as I came out of the building, the guy was within striking distance of the city.

“……Leona.”

“huh.”

Phew.

Leona answered, swinging her sword with difficulty, which had been her parents’ favorite weapon.

“Do you remember me saying that the intervention that foreign media can do is limited?”

“Remember.”

The influence they can exert outside the tower is minimal.

It was said that even some of them could not be brought in without considerable effort.

Of course, this place is already a floor away from the tower.

It is said that the guys’ influence is more likely to spread than the top… … but even so, there must be a limit.

“For some reason, the foreign guys are afraid of us.”

“…….”

Was it because I was shocked, or was it because I was nervous?

I continued talking to her, who was speechless.

“Those guys who collaborated with him might also cooperate while fighting us.”

“then…….”

“Save your strength.”

Sling.

As I pull out my sword from my inventory, a voice comes out from each of the giants.

-Predator… … .

-editor…….

-Her remains… … .

“It’s your job to deal with those guys.”

And towards that voice.

I charge in with my sword in hand.

‘… … I feel it.’

The power of foreign media.

My rank increased after killing that guy.

So kill him.

After killing them, the intensity of those foreign gods, and perhaps the power of the god of corruption that they possess… … .

Will rip it off.
