The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality - The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality chapter 43

With the unconscious Hwasan at his feet, Havel tapped his folded arms.

Havel saw the spearman kneeling before him.

His face was covered in cold sweat.

Havel changed his demeanor so that the spearman could sense it, as he needed to interrogate him.

It was so suffocating for the spearman that he could barely breathe.

“Spearman, was it?”

“Yes, yes.”

The spearman barely managed to breathe out a reply.

“Tell me everything you know about the Whisperer.”

“I’m just a member. I don’t know the details.”

“Tell me what you do know.”

The spearman swallowed.

Havel is a monster that he can’t defeat.

But the six vipers who follow the Whisperer, like him, are also monsters.

If he gives up information here, he will become a target for the six vipers.

But if he doesn’t give up the information, he will be killed by Havel.

Will he die later?

Or will he die now?

He didn’t have to think about it for long.

‘I still have Granny and Mobius.’

Granny can’t really fight, so she won’t be of much help.

But Mobius might be different.

He’s a candidate for the seventh viper.

‘Stall for time with minimal information.’

That was the moment he had decided.

Clang!

Havel’s scabbard, which he had swung down, broke the spearman’s arm.

The situation had unfolded so quickly that he hadn’t even been able to scream.

“Grrruuugh.”

“I can hear the sound of your skull cracking all the way over here.”

Havel took some medicine out of his pocket and poured it over his arm.

The medicine sawped in and healed his arm in an instant.

It was a potion that Havel had obtained after leaving the Evil God’s Palace.

It was something he often used, as a certain amount of it was created each day.

In the past, he had used it to his advantage.

However, after becoming immortal, he had only used it on others like this.

Havel let out a grim laugh as the spearman looked at his healed arm in surprise.

“If you don’t like the answer, I’ll just repeat the same thing.”

The spearman gulped.

He wondered if he could actually endure it.

* * *

Havel listened to most of the Spearman’s story and clenched his jaw.

First of all, the Whisperer hadn’t met the Spearman either.

He said that he had only met two of The Whisperer’s six direct subordinates.

However, the six subordinates were monsters who, like Havel, didn’t give off any presence.

‘The reason these guys inspired the tower is to create new subordinates.’

Havel slowly grinned.

That was because he had realized what the Whisperer’s goal was.

‘Just as I became the master of the Evil God’s Palace, he’s trying to create masters of Calamities.’

If one became the master of a Calamity, they would be able to absorb Calamities like he could.

In other words, it meant that he could mass-produce people like him.

‘Does that mean that, excluding the Whisperer right now, there are six other guys like me?’

Havel glanced at the spearman.

He had said that he felt similar to the subordinates.

Even someone as low-level as the spearman couldn’t measure up to him.

However, there might actually be guys who were on a similar level to him.

After all, absorbing Calamities had made Havel stronger at a rapid pace.

The smile on Havel’s lips widened.

Even though he had heard that there were guys who could be his rivals.

He couldn’t hide his laughter, which burst out involuntarily.

On top of that, there was the Whisperer, who even those subordinate guys followed.

This world was still so vast.

‘I’ll need to transcend even further.’

Havel checked the time remaining until the transcendence of power.

It seemed like it would take a little more time.

“Are there no more of your companions? Is that the sound of it?”

“Yes, I came here with the intention of becoming a viper.”

The spearman answered, protectively cradling his arm.

Looking at his appearance, it seemed like he had more companions.

I have to admit his willpower to keep his mouth shut even under torture.

In any case, it’s done now.

It seems like time is up.

“Master Havel!”

“H, hey! Let go of that, you wretch! Don’t you have any respect for your elders?!”

At that moment, Ellasia’s voice and the old man’s voice rang out.

While the spearman’s face turned pale.

Ellasia had captured an old woman with magic and dragged her over.

She had captured another companion who had been hiding on the Island of the Giants.

“You said there were no companions?”

Havel looked back at the spearman.

Then he asked one more question.

“Tell me. Are there any more of your companions?”

He blinked rapidly and then closed his eyes.

He looked determined to die.

“…There aren’t.”

“I see.”

Havel watched him silently and tilted his head.

“Why did you close your eyes?”

“Yes?”

He belatedly opened his eyes again.

Then he made a blank expression.

It was because he thought Havel would kill him.

“Are you not going to kill me?”

“Why would I? I’m not exactly starving for whisperers.”

The reason havel captured these people was out of curiosity.

He had chased after them because he wanted to know his current condition.

Of course, he also had the key.

“T, then why did you attack us without reason?”

“You attacked me first, didn’t you?”

I responded because you ambushed me.

It seemed like I had to keep it a secret, so I interrogated him.

The means were extreme, but I wasn’t going to let go of something I had already done.

Havel simply achieved his desired goal.

“Why? I’ll kill you.”

“Oh, no.”

Who would want to die?

The window cleaner quickly shook his head.

“Anyway, even if you don’t tell me, there are other guys.”

There were two more guys he could still ask.

“I know you’re awake.”

Havel called out to the burn victim.

Then he flinched.

“The window cleaner told me quite a lot.”

Havel looked at the old lady and the burn victim in turn.

“I wonder how different your story will be from his.”

“…Can we make a deal?”

At that moment, the burn victim opened his mouth.

The old lady shouted at him to stop, but it was too late.

The burn victims had no intention of suffering the same fate as the window cleaner.

“I’ll lead you to the snake. What do you say?”

Havel seemed interested in the whispering man.

He had realized from the start that they couldn’t handle this on their own.

Rather than being interrogated by him and telling him everything,

It would be better to face the snake directly.

“Ugh, burn victim! What are you trying to do?”

The old lady told him not to do anything he couldn’t handle.

She was reacting that way because she hadn’t faced Havel directly.

He said he wouldn’t kill her,

But who knows when he might change his mind?

So it was better to turn his attention this way.

“You know how to extend your own lifeline.”

It wasn’t a bad deal for Havel.

Roar!

That was the moment.

A huge roar spreads from the mountain on Giant’s Island.

“Anyway, these idiots. Fine. I’ll take care of it.”

“Grandma, don’t tell me?”

The window cleaner looked back at the old lady.

Then the old lady was trapped in the magic laughed out loud.

“Do you think you can stop the mutated evil species that will pour in from outside while you’re holding us captive?”

Boom!

At that moment, the active volcano on Giant’s Island erupted.

Black volcanic ash roses in clumps and dark clouds.

From the volcano, an incredibly huge presence was felt.

It was a presence so overwhelming that even an erupting volcano would be buried.

The old woman’s eyes flashed open.

On the other hand, Changjabi and Hwasang’s faces turned pale.

It was because of Habel’s skill.

“Hwasang, was it?”

Habel stretched his neck thickly and lightly.

Then he looked at Hwasang and said,

“I’ll accept the deal. Take good care of her.”

“You fool, Hwasang, now’s your chance! Kill this woman right now!”

“Shut up, old woman.”

Hwasang, who usually spoke and acted differently, was the same at this moment.

In the meantime, Habel lightly lifted his foot.

Habel, who had reached the volcano in an instant, left the fleeing wicked beings alone.

The presence felt from the volcano was definitely the greatest among the wicked beings he had ever encountered.

The old woman said that it was a mutant wicked being made by putting other wicked beings inside.

It seemed that the old woman had a special ability after all.

‘I’ll ask about that later.’

Habel looked into the volcanic ash.

Soon after, a wriggling sensation was felt from inside.

Swish!

At that moment, Habel’s hand blade, which had been swung without anyone noticing, cut through the volcanic ash.

Clang!

And what echoed was the sound of steel clashing against steel.

“It’s definitely different. This guy.”

In the volcanic ash that had been cut apart, a jet-black wicked being with a human body and a dragon’s head appeared.

Even though he had definitely swung his hand blade a little while ago, the guy was completely unharmed.

The guy rolled his six eyes around.

Soon after, he fixed his gaze on Habel.

“Gyaah!”

The wicked being let out a scream as if it was going to tear the world apart.

From noble mtl dot com

The volcanic ash swirled and flew away at his scream.

And the sea below shook as if a tsunami had occurred.

Mutant wicked being

Yongson

It was his appearance.

While Habel was facing off against Yongson.

At the bottom of the island, Hwasang was hurriedly escaping the island with Halmeoni and Changjabi, and Erasia.

The face of Halmeoni, who was being carried in his arms, was pale.

That’s because the power of the evil spirit could be felt tinglingly as far as here.

“W, what is this? The mutated evil spirit I summoned with the key shouldn’t be this strong?!”

The old lady couldn’t understand the current situation at all.

The mutated evil spirits that are mixed with evil spirits are strong.

But even so, they weren’t this strong.

This is a disaster.

If this kind of guy was released outside.

It’s a disaster where several countries would’ve been destroyed.

“Old lady, do you remember that?”

Hwasan, who was running with the old lady on his back, scratched the nape of his neck.

“The three primordial evil spirits like the tower, the difficulty level changes depending on the person climbing it.”

“Who would know that with dementia. Of course I remember.”

The moment the old lady glared as if asking why he was suddenly saying that.

Her face began to stiffen gradually.

The old lady, Changjabi, and Hwasan know that the difficulty level of the tower has recently increased.

But they thought this was purely Mobius’ fault.

The heads of the five great families don’t pay attention to the tower.

Because they thought there was no one stronger than Mobius, the candidate for the Poison Dragon, in this tower.

However, Hwasan met one person today.

A man named Habell, who is as strong as the Poison Dragon.

“Are you saying that evil spirit just appeared now because of that man?”

“Can’t you tell us just by looking at us? We were beaten without being able to do anything.”

“That guy is a monster.”

Hwasan and Changjabi showed a reaction of being disgusted at the same time.

The old lady was quite surprised to see that reaction.

That’s because those two are people with considerable pride.

They are guys who stick out their chins even in front of Mobius.

They are so obediently acknowledging that man they saw for the first time.

“What kind of monster is he?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

Hwasan also looked around as if he was frustrated.

Next to him was Elasia, who was flying diligently with magic.

She’s the only woman Habell brought.

Wouldn’t she know something?

Elasia flinched as the three people looked back at her at the same time.

That’s because, honestly, she didn’t know much either.

However, the advantage of information sometimes makes people stand above others.

Elasia, who has been pushed around by Habell recently.

So she wanted to be superior to these people at least.

Elasia made a haughty expression as if revealing her original grumpy personality.

“Habel of Van Pelion, that’s all I can tell you.”

Actually, that was all she knew.

She made a meaningful expression, as if there was more to it.

These three people, as long as Habel was there.

They knew they couldn’t touch her.

“Habel, and Van Pelion.”

And her acting was well-received.

Because the three of them quietly savored that name.
