chapter 569
569 – There Were Girls and They Weren’t There
I rose to the sky and only backed up where a critical crisis occurred.
Huuung───!
The small guardian begins to move in earnest and strikes down the huge sword.
Kugugoogung!
A loud noise that felt like the entire temple was being twisted.
Cold sweat broke out on the faces of my colleagues as they saw the floor of the temple, which had been hollowed out for several meters.
“Just a brush with it can lead to death. Everyone be careful.”
Noh Hayun displays an ice field and warns.
Blah blah blah──
Noh Hayun tied the legs of the two guardians in an instant.
The level of coldness grew even further while I could not see it.
‘Wow, I found another artifact somewhere.’
An anklet with a mysterious energy was attached to Hayun’s ankle.
Of course, it was an expensive product. At that level, it is highly likely that it was a gift from a ‘witch’ rather than something stolen.
‘Did you receive it as a commemoration of your B-level promotion?’
I was a bit indifferent to Noh Hayun these days, so I didn’t know anything about her current situation.
Kwaaa──
“Wow!”
“No, damn it!! It’s against the law to shoot lasers from your mouth!!”
Perhaps embarrassed by our explosive power in the beginning, the two guardians began using their swords and shields for defense and began firing magic cannons of light from their mouths.
‘It’s a mess. There’s something strange about the balance.’
In general, as size increases, speed tends to slow down, but in the world of magic, such a concept is meaningless.
However, although those guys had good strength commensurate with their size, their speed was relatively slow, and their attack patterns were simple.
Just when I was wondering if I could catch this unexpectedly easily.
Rattling─!
“Huh?”
At the same time as Arin’s reaction, bugs resembling ‘Priscanas’ rained down from the sky.
It was a tactic that even I couldn’t figure out because the concept was that the small guardian was summoned by activating a skill, rather than waiting in advance.
Huuk──
I flew up into the sky without even thinking.
Stance of the Abyss
– Strengthens the blade-shaped muscle tissue containing powerful neurotoxins.
– The number of blades is proportional to the maximum magical power.
Sliding blade
– Movement speed increases by 30% in ‘Abyss Stance’.
As soon as the ability was activated, countless blades poured out in all directions around the body, and all movement techniques were activated to cut the sky in a straight line.
Puhwaaak!!
Wherever I pass, the sky is embroidered with the bodily fluids of Priscana cut in two.
– ‘Prizcana’ has been defeated!
– ‘Prizcana’ has been defeated!
– ‘Prizcana’ has been defeated!
– [Jewel’s Smile] Has been activated!
– It was delivered to ‘Lee Yeon-hee’, a summoner with whom I have a sincere bond.
“Oh? Jewelry?”
Yeonhee frowned at the jewel that suddenly appeared before her eyes
I’m concentrating on the battle, but honestly, it’s a distraction.
‘Hmm… I really want to throw away this skill.’
However, the moment the jewel appeared, power suddenly began to surge in my body.
‘Does Yeonhee receive the effect of increasing the attack power of her summons? Then the story is a little different.’
While I was unconsciously rubbing my chin, hundreds of ‘Prizcanas’ that fell on the floor activated their skills at the same time.
[Border Sanctuary]
As soon as the sanctuary was activated, colleagues quickly gathered in one place.
The traces and minions canceled their summons, and Yeonhee also evaded them by canceling all summons except the ‘Red Mane Dire Wolf’ that she used for movement.
Kwachachachachachang───!!
A few seconds after all the party members gathered in the sanctuary, a terrible cold air completely covered the temple.
‘Hmm – it’s powerful. Still, the durability of the sanctuary is still sufficient.’
Although the message was not quantified, there was still about 60% of the room.
Durability recovers over time, so there’s nothing to worry about.
‘Still, it’s dangerous if I allow it one more time.’
“Wow, this is real. I almost got into big trouble. Isn’t this at the level of your mother’s skill level?”
“My mom? Ugh- you’re kidding, right?”
Noh Hayun burst out laughing at Jooah’s words.
No matter how strong Priscana’s coldness is, how dare you compare it to the ‘witch’ who brought even ‘Kang Yeon-soo’ to his knees? The reaction was absurd.
“Rather, the two guardians were bait, and this was the main one.”
“This would have definitely happened if Ilwol wasn’t there.”
“That’s right. I’ll have to deal with the little guardian first. Ilwol, I’ll have to join you soon.”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
She gathered the flame energy in her fingers and aimed it at the little guy’s left shoulder.
‘When she summoned Priscana, the reaction started from that thing inside her left shoulder.’
A magic attribute well over 5,000.
There was enough fuel.
At the same time as the sanctuary was lifted, colleagues scattered in all directions, causing confusion.
And the [Flame cannon] Crossing precisely between them
I didn’t even need Ran’s help to hit the guardian whose gaze was distracted.
Kwaaa!!
The flame cannon reached its target without a single error.
In an instant, the little guardian’s left shoulder exploded.
For the first time, the Guardian’s face was distorted hideously.
‘That’s the point.’
He felt the gem inside his shoulder his shattering.
It was clear that the ability to summon Priscana was its power
“Prizcana is gathering strength again!!”
“Turn over and attack the ship!”
“Wow – the crystals come out in a pile. Hehe-“
The rewards for the guys who had just fallen were much better than the Priscanas that were roaming around outside. Unfortunately, the runes did not fall, but all of her magic stones were at the highest level and 3-4 crystals were poured out.
There were no major crises after that.
My traces, minions, and two beasts took charge of the big guy.
Colleagues dealt with the injured little guy.
It would have been dangerous if the same variables that had summoned Prizcana continued to arise, but fortunately there was no such thing.
Kuuung──!!
The boss battle of about 30 minutes ended with the big guy being knocked to the floor.
Noh Hayun froze the legs of the fallen guys, and I bound their upper bodies and tied them up tightly.
Two giant statues of gods are lying side by side, glaring at us.
“Sister? Is it possible?”
“Go ahead, I’ll try.”
Soon a beautiful voice resonates within the dungeon.
[The touch of mystery calms the magic and all activities lose their luster-
Silence surrounds the world and the magical whispers stop –
The flow of time goes into seclusion and all life comes to a halt-]
Eunyoung was riding on top of BEAST’s ‘Grung’ and she was singing a song in silence.
An amazing ability that hinders the recovery of magic and stamina and silences all spells.
‘Ham Eun-young’s skills are still amazing. She is at a higher level than me in terms of achieving her abilities in the direction she pursues.
Indeed, he is a hunter who carries on the blood of the ‘transcendant of the backwater’.
“Oh.”
A faint magical energy blooms in Eunyoung’s body as she lets out a short exclamation.
The moment you silence the guardians, your level increases.
“We suppressed it, but how do we ‘purify’ this?”
“I can’t drag this big thing anywhere. I can’t summon a purifier.”
My colleagues, who were all looking embarrassed, soon turned their heads to me and looked at me with hopeful eyes.
I nodded once at the gaze and placed my hand on the guardian’s body.
‘I still wanted to do it.’
– It is a being that still has vitality.
The system’s intention that it cannot be placed in subspace.
‘It’s life force… What can I do when I’m just a stone?’
Once again, I looked inside their bodies with my senses.
‘Nothing special… Hmm?’
When I looked closely, the part that I could perceive with my senses was slightly smaller than their bodies.
A space just the size of a person was not detected.
‘··· Lan, open the possibility of subspace. Also, please tell me to cancel the summons as soon as I put in the guardian.’
(You always wish for so much. Skeleton guy.)
As Ran whirled around and spread the mysterious energy unique to spirits, I felt the thoughts in my head expand infinitely.
After a while, I raised my hand to the guardian again and the huge body was instantly stored in subspace.
“Huh?!”
“Wow, of course. Ilwol. It was possible.”
“It’s a sub-space with no limits… I’m so jealous.”
The voices of my colleagues soon quieted down.
It’s because Yeonhee canceled the summons.
Tak-
As I entered the dark space, I was lucky enough to immediately spot the two guardians.
‘Ugh- it’s so fucking heavy!’
In the end, he was able to increase his speed only by mobilizing all his subordinates and dragging the Guardian along with him.
It only takes 30 minutes for Ran to open up the possibility of subspace.
‘I don’t have time.’
(Huh? January/Wol… W-what? What are you bringing with you again!)
Rainie was scared and took a step back when she saw the guardian, who was huge and had an ominous energy.
Kuuung!!
‘Lainey, can you possibly purify these?’
Rainie took a considerable amount of time to purify even one crystal.
It will take an enormous amount of time to purify such huge creatures.
However, once Lan’s acceleration ability ends, the guardians will disappear out of subspace again.
Once I got here, I felt embarrassed.
‘It must be difficult.’
Still, I asked you a favor just in case.
(Huh? This won’t take long, right?)
‘······ Really? It’s this big?’
(Do you want to clean the dirty stuff on the outside? That’s beyond me! But I think it’s possible for the little black stuff on the inside.)
‘··· The small black thing inside. Is Rainie more sensitive than me when it comes to dirty things?’
I climbed into the center of the Guardian and split the space several times.
Hwahiah ───
An extremely dark and humid energy emanates from the cracks.
(Wow! What, what are you doing? Ilwol is trying to kill me!)
Laney made a fuss as if the world was falling apart, but she only stepped back a little and was still looking at me with interest.
When some of the dark energy came out through the cracks, she started working again.
Papapak- Pakpak-
As I reached the center, there was something that I could clearly sense.
‘This…Is a person?’
They were girls who looked like they were even 10 years old.
Golden hair and eyes.
Literally beautiful girls with skin as white as snow.
The clothes were very old-fashioned, and the children were well treated, as they were decorated with a lot of gold trim.
(Is it okay if I purify them?)
‘That’s right.’
(It’ll be soon. Just wait.)
Why did Rainie say it didn’t take long?
She knew right away after taking out the two children.
‘There’s a lot of dirty energy gathered in the heart area… Has someone done something to these children?’
However, that energy was insignificant compared to something like a highly condensed contaminated crystal.
For Laney, who has been on extreme missions, this would be a piece of cake.
And a few minutes later.
Hehe- it’s done!)
‘Already?!’
Surprisingly, in less than five minutes, Lainey purged the two girls.
The energy of the girls, who were already divine, became so powerful that I could not bear to look at them.
“Ugh…”
“Haaa…”
Both were on the verge of regaining consciousness.
At that moment, the possibility of the sub-space opened up by ‘Ran’ disappeared, and the two girls disappeared in an instant.
‘Phew – it worked out somehow. But why doesn’t this go away?’
The body of the guardian on which the two girls were riding.
Before I knew it, my left arm, which had been destroyed by me, was recovering little by little.
‘This is not just a guardian. Ah, Laney. Thank you Thanks to you, it was a great help.’
(Rather than that, I wish they would just take that dirty thing away!)
At Laney’s request, the Guardian’s body was thrown a long way away.
It would be too much to ask for this to be purified. I couldn’t put more burden on Rainie, who had been overexerting herself recently.
At the same time, I felt Yeonhee’s call, and I returned to the dungeon where my colleagues were.
– Cleared the small quest in ‘Arena’!
– Magic power has increased by 500, and ‘Arena’s Noble Shield’ has been acquired!
Arena’s Noble Shield
– This is an amazing trait that prevents damage that could lead to death once.
– Even after use, traces of being connected to Arena remain.
– Waaa!!
– Haha!!
Colleagues were already embracing each other and enjoying the joy.
Magic power increases by 500 in just one boss battle?
It was an increase equivalent to two artifacts.
In addition, you have acquired an amazing characteristic that can actually save one life.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable to be happy and jump around as if you were saving the world.
‘Quest rewards given by divine beings may not be determined by the level of difficulty we perceive.’
Arena seems to have decided that this was a difficult mission worthy of this level of reward.
‘But where is the purified girl?’
“Oh, the two kids disappeared somewhere as soon as they came out.”
Yeonhee answered my questions as if she heard my inner thoughts
“I did my best to save him, but then he disappears right away!!”
‘It disappeared right away… Now that I think about it, ‘Arena’s gaze has also disappeared. Did they take you away as soon as you found them? A living person? Is that possible?’
Maybe it’s a miracle possible because it’s inside the Temple of Light.
I felt regretful, but it was inevitable since they had already taken me.
