The Returner Wants Complete Victory - The Returner Wants Complete Victory chapter 35

35 – 035. Fish farm

Time passed helplessly.

Eunha’s expression was still stiff, and Bokyung, who vaguely knew that Eunha was special, also agreed to remain silent.

Noah tilted his head for a moment at first, but as I got lost in his thoughts, he soon turned off, as if telling you to take care of it.

I was taking the time to reflect on whether there were any variables I had missed.

Jamanoir was imprisoned in the basement of the royal palace by his opponents.

The body had already crumbled over time, and the status and ego that had led to half a body collapsed in the aftermath of the seal.

What remains is just a desire for blood.

It has been a year since this ruin was completely conquered during the first round.

Even until the magicians and priests made up of the Proa natives finished their attack, Jamanoir’s thoughts remained as a mass of unconsciousness that did nothing but suck the life force of the adventurers who entered the ruins.

There is no problem here.

So what about the opponents?

After imprisoning Jamanoir, his opponents used themselves as a medium to seal him.

The six stakes surrounding the space where Jamanoir was sealed are traces of it.

After moving Jamanoir’s seal in a special way and breaking the stake, you can obtain the weapon they used.

As time passes, most of them are damaged, but some can be used after restoration, and some still retain their full power.

And here too, there is no special caution.

what is the problem?

“Now, from now on, just answer yes or no to the questions I ask.”

In the end, I had no choice but to ask directly.

I didn’t think I would come up with a clear answer, but if I chipped away at the questions like I did in the tutorial, wouldn’t there be some clues?

“What’s going on inside the ruins?”

Nod.

“Do you have any enemies? “Have you ever been attacked?”

Doridori.

“Do you think my life or yours are in danger?”

Doridori.

what?

I couldn’t find anything else to ask here.

Something is happening, but it’s not an enemy attack or a life-threatening situation?

Then there is no problem, right?

“But you… “Something difficult will happen.”

Eunha saw my bewildered expression and said with an uncertain expression.

So, what’s the problem?

I recruited him during the tutorial hoping for something like this, but his rank is still too low to use him actively.

“I will force it.”

I finally completed the barrier I had opened earlier.

I don’t know what happened, but it didn’t matter as long as no one died and I was just in a bit of trouble.

And if intuition was truly a completely invincible ability, Chae Yoon, not me, would have survived to the end.

A translucent glass wall surrounded our entire group.

“This will protect us from the curse. Even if I tell you the detailed principles, you probably don’t know, so I’ll just skip over it. “It’s weak to shock from the inside, so if possible, don’t touch it.”

Noah, who was looking at the barrier with curious eyes, flinched at my words.

This is really My Way.

Even though the situation is like this, I get caught up in the atmosphere and get scared, and there is nothing like that.

“let’s go. Just be careful not to fall behind too much.”

We walked inside the ruins.

Grumbling─

As soon as we passed through the entrance, the walls on the left and right opened, revealing a hidden space.

However, contrary to the magnificent sight, the inside of the wall was empty.

Clatter, rattle.

Tuk. Degurrr… .

Instead, something was caught at my feet.

Finely broken stones. Or a rock.

It was the remains of the golems that had originally been inside that wall.

A guard erected by adversaries to prevent external invasion.

“Come carefully so you don’t trip.”

However, this side also weakened as it could not withstand the passage of time.

When it was installed, it may have been thought to be a semi-permanent institution, but they probably did not expect that it would be neglected for thousands of years.

And after about a thousand years, it probably didn’t matter much anyway.

That would be enough time for Jamanoir, who had become a demigod by following the trend of the times, to lose his status and fall into decline.

Talk. Knock knock.

Todog.

As I went a little further into the temple, I heard a sound like rain hitting the window.

And in time with the sound, red spots appeared on the barrier surrounding us.

Bo-kyung saw this and said with a slightly tired expression.

“eww… . “Senior, is that really a curse?”

“yes. Are you smart?”

I answered Bo-kyung’s question with a joke, but my mind was elsewhere.

An unexpected situation that may occur at any moment.

If it is something other than enemy raids or a life-threatening situation, the highest probability is that we will be subject to this curse.

We soon arrived in front of a large door with iron bars.

Tododog. Todog. Talk. Totalk.

Todo dodog. Tuk. Fighting.

The number of red dots hitting the barrier gradually increased.

Like driving on a pouring rain day, no matter how much I updated the barrier, the red dots quickly obscured my vision.

Try it in moderation and if it doesn’t work, give up, you bastard.

Rumbling─

When I pulled the lever next to me, the grate lifted up and the door opened.

As we entered, we were greeted by a short staircase leading to the basement.

We floated the sphere of light and continued to move.

The basement we arrived at was spacious.

There was an altar in the center that radiated red light, and six huge stakes were placed around the altar.

The chain that would have originally connected the stakes to each other was broken and was lying on the ground in an unsightly shape.

This is why the curse goes crazy.

In historical sites, you don’t normally mess with things carelessly.

These bastards who don’t even know the basics.

“Wait here for a moment.”

I said that and got out of the barrier.

A similarly transparent thin film formed around my body as it escaped the barrier.

It took on such an ignorant form because it had to protect other children as well, because that’s how magic was originally used.

I glanced back at Eunha, but her expression still didn’t look good.

When I saw that expression, I made a promise.

okay. If you feel like you might run into trouble while messing with your thoughts, don’t be greedy and just take your hand off.

That was when I thought so.

– The trait, [Sixth Sense (S)] has been awakened!

▷ Sixth Sense (S)

Sixth sense is a separate sensing ability that is unrelated to sense stats and allows you to feel things that you cannot normally feel.

The trait was awakened first,

“oh… . “After hearing the story earlier, I followed along just in case. If I had been acting like a joke like usual, I would have been in big trouble, right?”

A voice followed him.

Whip─

When I turned my head, there was a woman standing only about ten steps away.

Brilliantly shining platinum hair.

Two wing decorations draped over the left ear.

A black robe with open sides and red embroidery along the lines.

“I’m sorry, but could you please stop what you’re about to do?”

A priest of the Celestial Church who worships the main god, Proa.

And the black robes with red embroidery were like the symbol of an Inquisitor.

“Our God does not want that.”

The woman who said that hung the flail she was holding on her shoulder as if she was going to crush her head if she didn’t comply.

*

It was an unexpected situation.

And, I was able to immediately understand the meaning of what Eunha said.

It’s not an enemy attack, it’s not a life-threatening situation, it’s just something that I find difficult.

That’s exactly right.

“Hey, I’d like to hear an answer?”

The woman in front of me tilted her head slightly and smiled.

It was a bloody smile.

It even felt that way because it was a familiar face.

Hyril Eraesie.

She was a woman who later rose to the position of head of the Heretic Questioner, and she was one of the three crazy women I’ve ever seen in this world. Needless to say, he is talented.

Of course, that alone isn’t the problem.

The real problem is that priests are directly connected to angels.

Irene, who took over the body of Izra, the manager of this world, is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, although it may seem obvious.

Ezra, who practically manages this world by dealing with Proa, who has no ego and is close to law and providence.

Irene corrupted and imprisoned Izra and took his place.

There is no way the handover could have been done properly.

The only places she can freely see are the temple, which is no different from God’s domain, and the tutorial area where her powers reside.

If you are not going to descend directly, you have no choice but to see the world through the eyes of a priest.

In other words, I am now in a situation no different from the one I am facing with Irene.

I was heartbroken when he didn’t show up at the temple after the tutorial, but I never thought I’d run into such a dirty situation.

“I saw you talking earlier, so I guess you’re not mute… Why do you keep quiet? “How can you speak if you scream?”

After saying that, Hyril twirled his flail and approached me.

When I saw that, I spoke urgently.

“Let’s have a conversation, shall we? Even the benevolent Izra would wish this.”

It was almost a habit.

Magic words like a leash for a crazy b*tch.

“… That’s right. “Charity, that’s what Izra always emphasized.”

Hyril stopped spinning the flail and nodded.

“Okay then, let’s go back to the beginning. “Can you please stop what you’re about to do?”

Why is the Heretic Questioner in this dungeon?

And why are you trying to disturb me?

I had to find the answer quickly.

It’s just that I’m weak at psychological warfare and scheming, it’s not because I have a bad memory.

During the first round, this dungeon was left abandoned for about a year even after it was discovered.

Numerous moths rushed in and sucked the life out of Zamanoir, and a year later, they were attacked by wizards and priests… .

under.

“why? “You found the ruins with great difficulty?”

Hyril’s smile grew brighter at my words.

“Didn’t I tell you? Our God does not want that.”

“So there must be a reason why you don’t want it. Wouldn’t it be good for God if we excavated the ruins and became stronger?”

“I just do what I want. Don’t try to understand God’s will.”

I couldn’t help but snort at those words.

That’s probably what you’re saying to yourself.

From noble mtl dot com

Because he probably doesn’t know why he’s protecting this place.

But I thought I knew.

In other words, this ruin was a kind of fish farm.

A fish farm where Jamanoirs were caught and fattened to be eaten.

And a year later, they probably thought enough was enough and sent in wizards and priests to subdue them.

The relics would have been consumed by wizards in moderation, and the priests would have consumed the vastly expanded thoughts.

I wouldn’t have known it before I realized it, but now that I know it, I can’t just ignore it.

“But I really have to eat these relics… . “God must have a lot of things, but can’t you give us just this little bit?”

It was a remark that anyone could tell was sarcastic.

Hyril must have felt that too, as he narrowed his smiling eyes.

“We will not kill them because they came from a distant dimension to fight with us.”

“The one who threw the people who came to fight from that distant dimension like dog food speaks well.”

Cough!

Before I could finish speaking, my opponent came swinging his flail.
