Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Returned Lord Wants To Rest chapter 90
Episode 90.
“Then why doesn’t Odd use the ruins?”
I thought it was a natural curiosity.
“Yeah, I couldn’t enter. At least it was possible when I reached the level of a sword master.”
but.
It was a ruin made by a person who reached the level of a demigod.
If not the level of a demigod, at least you have to reach the level of a sword master to have a chance to challenge yourself.
However, Odd couldn’t even enter the ruins, so how could he know that it was made by someone who reached the level of a half-god?
“How do you know?”
“The fact that the owner of the ruins has risen to the level of a demigod?”
“yes.”
“Yeah, because it was written.”
was it written?
what?
“yes?”
“My ability is the ability to decipher text. It was written at length on the main gate of the ruins.”
“Ohhh… that’s right.”
A ruin left by someone who reached the level of a half-god.
If you go there, you will be able to achieve some level of growth.
‘I can also get clues about the state of the demigod.’
***
Following Aud’s guidance, I arrived at the ruins.
“I didn’t even know there were ruins like this in a place like this.”
The teleport scroll used by Odd was the Kingdom of Porti located on the outskirts of the continent.
Most of them were kingdoms that also had the nickname of maritime kingdoms because their borders were adjacent to the sea.
And the ruins guided by Odd.
‘I thought there would be ruins on a remote island.’
Usually, many remains are found inside the continent, but the remains on a remote island were the first.
“But I have a question for you.”
It was an overtly relic.
To be honest, it was so open that I didn’t even think it was a ruin at first impression.
“Why has it not been revealed until now?”
“There are things that are openly said, but this place is called the Island of the Dead by the surrounding villages.”
“The Island of the Dead?”
There was no danger in coming here.
Maybe this island is overflowing with monsters that look like ogres?
If so, it would have been called the Island of Monsters rather than the Island of the Dead.
“There was no danger in crossing this place. Is there anything on this island?”
“It can’t be.”
Ord explained about this island of the dead.
It is said that there are rare animals and plants that are not touched by humans.
In a way, it was an ode that even added the word paradise.
“But why is it called the Island of the Dead?”
“Yeah… I don’t know.”
“yes?”
“It’s just a saying passed down from generation to generation. It is not clear why it is called the Island of the Dead.”
Why did this paradise-like island come to be called the island of death?
It’s incomprehensible, but I can’t help it.
“The ruins… I have to go in.”
“Yes.”
It was a ruin shaped like the entrance of a temple hidden in trees and grass.
The entrance to the ruins was firmly closed.
A tombstone was placed next to the entrance of the ruins.
“What is written there?”
“That, in a nutshell, is the way to enter and boast about oneself.”
“How to enter and brag about yourself?”
I understand how to enter, but what about bragging about myself?
“Yes, once you get in, it’s very simple. Just destroy the entrance to the ruins.”
Breaking the entrance of the ruins is the way to enter?
If so, one thing is certain.
It is said that no one has entered the ruins.
That’s why the entrance to the ruins is so intact.
“Then, what are you proud of?”
“As I said, it was written on the ruins, so they said they knew who made it.”
“What about that?”
“It is written that he boasts that he is a human who has reached the level of a demigod beyond that of a sword master.”
I unconsciously nodded my head.
Considering that the existence of the demigod state has not been revealed so far, the creator of this ruin is probably also unknown.
That’s why you probably wanted to show off your level to others.
However, one question arose.
“Why didn’t he come out and boast with his mouth?”
If I had come out of the world and boasted about it, I would have been able to let people know that the state of half-body exists.
He could have been honored according to his status.
“I don’t know that either.”
“I guess so.”
Everything that can be known in advance is over.
Before entering the ruins, I asked Aud.
“Is it okay if I come in with you?”
It wasn’t from the thought of wanting to monopolize the rewards of the ruins.
In any case, if the person who made this ruin was a real demigod, there was a high possibility that the inside of the ruins would be dangerous.
As there were conditions to enter, there was a high possibility that Odd, not the Sword Master, would be dangerous.
“Well, I can’t help it. They will need my decoding skills.”
“…”
Without a word, I nodded.
Certainly his decoding ability was good.
If the creator wrote his pride from the entrance of the ruins, he must have written many words inside the ruins as well.
“Then, please follow me well.”
I took out my sword.
He raised his sword towards the entrance of the ruins.
Looking at it now, the entrance of the ruins had some scratches.
The scratches were probably from Odd.
“Come on, let’s go!”
Using the trick of strengthening my body, I poured the maximum power I could into the entrance of the ruins.
The mass of mana I shot hit the entrance of the ruins.
And the entrance to the ruins split in half.
“As expected… Sword Master. You are amazing.”
“It’s basic.”
The moment the entrance of the ruins split in half, I witnessed a mysterious scene.
“What is that…?”
Odd was also surprised.
“I’ve never seen anything like it.”
This is because the entrance of the cracked ruins has turned to dust and disappeared.
“Maybe the intensity was low originally…?”
“That is absolutely not the case. I tried several times, but it ended up with a small scratch.”
that is so.
I remembered one fact.
“The power of half-body.”
That is the power of creation.
It must be a new material created using the power of creation.
The entrance to the ruins disappeared, revealing the stairs leading down.
“Let’s go down first.”
“yes.”
***
The interior of the ruins was quiet.
We started walking, relying only on the torch in Odd’s hand.
It didn’t look like there was any life there.
‘Well… the existence of life in this space means that there may be a byway.’
Or a creature that lives forever.
However, living beings who live eternal life are just nonsense.
That would be the case, for those who have reached the level of the demigod will already die and will not remain in this world.
‘But what if he’s still alive?’
A sword master who surpassed humans.
If you are a human who has reached the level of a demigod beyond that of a sword master, you might be able to live an eternal life.
‘Rather, it would be a good thing if such a person remained.’
Because I can entrust Veles’ opponent.
It would be a big deal if it wasn’t an ally.
Something was caught in my gut.
It was the end of the road we were on.
“There seems to be something over there.”
“yes?”
“Probably, it seems to be alive.”
However, it was a strangely familiar feeling.
‘Where did you feel it?’
I approached slowly, wary of something.
And the moment something revealed its identity, Aud drew in his breath.
“What the hell is that!”
It was a low voice, but Odd’s emotions were felt.
I too was perplexed.
Judging by its size and appearance, it was clear that it was an ogre.
But it was a little different.
It was because he had bluish skin like a troll.
“Isn’t it the Chimera we’ve only heard about?”
A monster that was synthesized using magic was called a chimera.
However, I felt that something was different from Chimera.
‘It’s like a monster in the ruins made by Cassias.’
A blue ogre roared as if it had spotted us.
Immediately I prepared for battle.
‘No matter what kind of monster I am, I am a sword master.’
Whether the opponent was a troll, an ogre, or a monster that seemed to be a combination of the two, he was confident that he would win.
I swung my sword at the blue ogre and smashed its head.
After smashing the blue ogre’s head, he turned around and said to Odd.
“You are weaker than I thought.”
I thought Odd would be happy, but his expression was still hardened.
Aud shook his hand and pointed at the ogre whose head had been smashed.
I looked at Odd’s hand and turned around.
A blue ogre with a smashed head was clearly moving.
“What is this?”
When I checked the blue ogre’s head, I saw that it was slowly regenerating.
“You won’t die from that wound?”
I swung my sword again.
This time, I cut the blue ogre into pieces.
Even so, he did not let go of his guard and watched the blue ogre’s fragmented body.
It was slowly wriggling and coming together.
“You won’t die even if you do this?”
It was the first time I had ever seen it in my life.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, come to think of it, it wasn’t the first time.
It reminded me of Revive, the demon of resurrection.
“Odd, do you have any oil?”
“yes.”
Obtained oil from Oud.
Then, he threw oil into the center of the blue ogre fragments that were forming.
Aud lit the oil with the torch he was holding.
The bodies of the blue ogres began to burn.
It didn’t move until then.
“I can’t believe there’s such a monster…”
Odd covered his mouth with his hand and was surprised.
“It’s good that you figured out your weakness, though.”
Weaknesses were obvious.
I asked Odd.
“How much oil do you have?”
“I am a wandering traveler. They have a lot of important things like oil.”
It was fortunate in misfortune.
It seemed that monsters like this didn’t appear often because there was nothing around here that I could feel.
than that…
‘Why did the monsters in the Ruins of Cassias come to mind?’
It was obviously different.
Still, it felt the same.
However, Cassias and the creator of this ruin are not contemporaries.
So there would be no correlation.
‘What I can think of…’
It was just in case, but I wonder if Cassias has also reached the level of a half-body.
That’s why he passed his ability and created the monsters in the ruins.
‘It’s very likely.’
For some reason, I caught some clue that could lead me to half-body.
But the method was too far-fetched.
Odd shouted while I was lost in thought.
“uh? I see a new door over there!”
what?
On the way, I didn’t meet anything except for an encounter with a blue ogre.
So, what the hell was the blue ogre?
I thought of one possibility.
“If you open this door, wouldn’t there be a monster that can’t be compared to a blue ogre?”
The ruins of Cassias were like that too.
There was always a strong monster at the end of the ruins.
But I had no choice but to deny what I said.
“I don’t feel any sign of anything.”
That said, there was nothing inside.
I even opened the door to check, but there was nothing.
“It was also an empty space.”
“By the way, the road is only here, so is this the end?”
As soon as I entered, the light came on and the space became bright.
Because of the light, I could see what kind of space it was.
“It’s like a room…”
“Iknow, right.”
It was dark, so I couldn’t see it, but it was just an ordinary room.
It was an ordinary room with a desk and a bed.
It was a room with nothing odd about it, except that it was a bit spacious.
Odd looked around and said as he approached the desk.
“Suhar, here is a book.”
