The Live - Chapter 180
179Usd.
Knng!
“Ahhhh!”
With a small difference, the regular man went out to the side screaming.
Baloch straightens his brow as he looks at the norm of escaping his grasp.
– He’s like a worm…
In Baloch’s eyes, the normality was like a bug.
Pressing it with your hand was as weak as death, but it was hard to catch it because it was quick. No, technically, it wasn’t that fast.
– If it weren’t for this…….
Brawl –
Every time I move my body, I catch a thick chain that restrains my body.
The chain not only prevented the body from moving freely, it also suppressed the force of Baloch itself.
Peek-
Shhh…
Sore pain in the thighs.
Balock’s left eye moves downward. There, Kim Jin-seok swiftly cuts off his leg with a swing of his sword.
– Annoying…….
What-!
Boom!
Once the leg is lifted up big and then smacked down, the ground reverses and Margie spreads around.
Rrrrrrrrr
I was furious.
One by one it was nothing. I certainly thought so.
But I was better than I thought. Of course, it was also within the expected range, but it was moving like a body to match hands and feet, which was unexpected for the first time.
Tsutz-
At that moment, the magnitude of the magical power felt from afar grew larger and larger.
At first, I didn’t really care. But as it got bigger, it became a level that could no longer be ignored.
‘This is a little dangerous. ’
The amount of magical power amplified has exceeded negligible levels.
Baloch’s eyes turned to Yoon Jae. And at that moment, the regular guy who was still running turned around.
“Hey, let me see! ”
– I’ll kill you later.
“Are you scared! Hey, hey! ”
Park-
The norm swiftly turned and flew towards Baloch’s head.
Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
Blah, blah!
Elvin and Kim Jin-seok move simultaneously with the regular, as if they had promised, to block Baloch’s hand.
“This is so awkward. ”
“Is he up to something? ”
“I… would…? ”
The normal face turned red, grunting and pushing Baloch’s hand to the tip of the sword.
‘This is hard. ’
It seemed like the sword was about to be broken. The arm that is giving you strength bursts like a burst, and you push hard.
– These bugs…
Balock couldn’t put more strength into his outstretched hands. It was because of the chains that were binding the arms.
Tong-!
The three of them bounce off Baloch’s hand and fly away behind him. The three of them looked up at him, standing as if they were guarding Yoon Jae.
“The worm you’re talking about must be full of poison. ”
Pick, pick –
“You won’t be able to use that hand for a while. ”
Aaaaahhhh!
Blood bursts from Baloch’s clutches. In that short time, Elvin and Kim Jin-seok cut off Baloch’s palm long.
‘Well, it’s not going to do much good. ’
Elvin’s eyes examine Balock’s wounds.
Most wounds have just been inflicted. Those were deep wounds, too.
Nevertheless, it was almost over. The basic ability to regenerate itself was unreasonably high.
‘One sure room. ’
That’s all I needed.
Not enough to inflict a small amount of scarring. We don’t know how many days it will take to fight like this.
‘I don’t know what he’ll do…. ’
Elvin glances back at Yoon Jae and opens his mouth.
“First of all, let’s believe it. ”
“Sure.”
Significant side effects are followed by the use of reverse inversion to amplify the magical power.
It was not a careless skill to use. But now it was not something to be trifled with.
“It’s hard to catch him without a crowd. ’
Now we have to catch him in some way.
– Khh…
Baloch quickly retrieved his sharp cuts and stared at Elvin and Kim Jin-seok. However, the other eyes did not take their eyes off Yoon Jae behind the three people.
‘It’s getting bigger. ’
Even Elvin and Kim Jin-seok couldn’t ignore the size of the magic power they were dealing with.
Just by looking at his skin right now. However, the magnitude of the magical power felt by Yoon Jae behind them was different from the two of them.
‘If I can handle that properly…. ’
I didn’t think such magic could be handled by humans or individuals.
The same was true of the devil. None of the Demon Kings Baloch remembered had ever been able to wield such power.
– Maybe we should hurry.
Brawl –
Baloch’s legs move.
Wh-
Dduk, dduk-
On the ground, the chains that had tied Baloch’s feet were pulled out.
Baloch pulls the chain out with both legs and moves forward slightly. The chain then tightens Baloch’s legs and starts pulling him back.
Right after.
Huh-
Quaah-ah!
Baloch’s long forward fist struck Kim Jin-seok. Kim Jin-seok’s body flew in front of the sword and slammed into the wall.
“Mister!”
Regular quickly turned his head to Kim Jin-seok’s name. At that moment, a huge shadow fell over the head of a normal person.
Kuang -!
A giant foot presses against the ground. Baloch mutters as if it were a pity, unlike what he had thought it would feel under his feet.
– Too bad.
Ta-da.
Uh-huh.
Elvin snaps his neck and throws the norm to the ground. The normal person sits on the floor with a puzzled face and raises her head.
“Huh?”
“What are you so dazed about? ”
“No, I wasn’t dazed…. ”
I just didn’t get a good look at it.
Normally, I quickly woke up and looked at Baloch. Baloch is still moving forward, pulling out the chains that are still on his body.
“This guy… is starting to go crazy!” ”
“Just stop it. ”
“Me?”
“You can insult me like before. Just keep your eyes peeled. ”
“Wow, even Mr. Elvin does that? I thought I was really going to die. ”
“I’ll help you. ”
Regular head turned to the voice next to him.
There was Kim Jin-seok who had just flown in. Normally, he tried to greet him with a bright face and quickly froze his face.
“Mister, my arm……. ”
Half-broken arm.
Almost flabby, the arm was bent in an odd direction to make sure that the whole bone was crushed and stretched out.
However, Kim Jin-seok, who was a great party, replied with a grave face.
“Mind your own business and concentrate. ”
“ ……. ”
The regular bites his lips tightly and quickly nods.
Like he said, now was not the time to be worried about someone.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but can I just keep my eyes peeled for a second? ”
“Yes, please. ”
“Fine. Fine. ”
Kim Jin-seok nodded and Elvin left. Baloch doesn’t care that much about Elvin.
“Can you do it? ”
Kim Jin-seok asked as if he was entrusting something that wasn’t that obvious.
As I put the chain on my feet and saw Baloch getting closer, the regular sighed deeply.
“Oh, my… this is so… crazy. ”
Cough-
The Regent mutters as he looks at the blood on Muhammad’s blade.
“I thought you were just getting used to it…. ”
Gain –
With a grip on Muhammad’s hand, his regular hand begins to turn black.
“That guy’s blood is a little hard to handle. ”
Sss-
Muhammad is surrounded by black energy.
More black than any other blood, dark red blood.
The color erodes Muhammad.
“Huff, huff -”
My whole body was hot. The power that flowed through the blade erodes my whole body and makes my head dizzy.
“Calm down… a little… ”
Kung-
The sound of footsteps coming right at you.
Extremely, extremely –
With the chain on the bridge, Baloch approached the front of the normal and Kim Jin-seok.
Huuung-
Balock’s feet are lifted up.
Immediately after that, Baloch firmly crushed his feet, lifting up and down, as if trying to kill the irritating regular and Kim Jin-seok.
Kuaang -!
Kwung, boom, boom-!
Baloch stepped on the ground in a row.
The entire cave is shaken, and stones and rocks fall from the ceiling.
Tsuaag –
Aah! Aah!
At that moment, like before, Baloch’s leg splits open and blood splatters up. Baloch swiftly lifts his foot upward and staggers backwards.
– This is…
“Oh, I’m so frustrated… ”
Normal skin turned black and mumbled on Baloch’s foot. Muhammad rests on the back of Baloch’s feet.
Whoo-hoo!
Baloch’s legs shake violently.
Balac seems to be able to move a little more freely than before, pulling the chain out long.
Stiff and straight, the body moved more flexibly.
Qajik-!
The swinging bridge slams the walls of the cave. Ordinarily, the cave would have collapsed as it did, but the cave was strangely stuck except for a slight crack in the wall.
“But it’s your strength, isn’t it? ”
Blood drawn by Muhammad.
It also contains Vallock’s blood.
Unlike before, I was able to respond to Baloch’s attack, and I was able to pierce its tough, hard skin and strike directly.
It harnesses Baloch’s own power.
– It’s cold.
Baloch grunts, revealing his teeth. The scar was definitely normal, but considering Baloch’s size, it was difficult to see that it was a big scar.
“Well, that’s enough. ”
Shhh…
“It was a matter of time anyway. ”
The normal gaze was directed over Baloch’s head.
Elvin’s body flew up high and went over Baloch’s head.
“This is going to sting a lot. ”
With that.
Scheech –
Shhhhhhh!
– Khh… Ahhhh!
Five eyes on Baloch’s forehead have been cut off. Baloch quickly closed his eyes of iron flow and covered his forehead with both hands.
Boom, boom-!
Baloch’s feet swing randomly.
It was hard to cope with the massive weapon starting to erupt. The three men, including the regular ones, stepped back and avoided Baloch’s kick.
– Die, die, die!
Kuaang -!
Baloch swings his arms and legs to find his target.
Later.
Glug glug, glug glug –
Kung-!
The chains tied to Baloch’s arms and legs begin to tighten and begin to tighten his body again.
Baloch, who was forcibly dragged behind his arms and legs, suddenly shakes his body without moving.
“I thought it was really noisy. ”
Jubbuck-
At that moment, Yoon Jae started to move.
The footlock, when five eyes were cut off and the body began to be rapidly constrained, immediately creeped by the magical power felt in Yoon Jae’s body.
‘This……. ’
Dangerous.
Baloch rolls his eyes to the left and to the right. I tried to avoid it, but now I have no way to avoid it.
“You’re no better off rolling your eyes when you think about running away. ”
Voices overhead.
Baloch’s eyes look up. Yoon Jae’s foot suddenly rises over his head.
“Don’t die. ”
Yoon Jae’s sword went up high.
There was only one magical power that felt so great.
It was compressed in one surprisingly small spot.
– How…
Before Baloch’s words end.
Aaaaahhhh!
– Th…
The body was sliced clean in half and split to the left and to the right.
* * *
“Ha, ha -”
Yoon Jae breathed harshly while lying on the floor.
I rolled my eyes and looked around, and I saw Baloch split in half. As Baloch’s body collapsed, Yoon Jae’s body fell to the ground together.
Is it done? ’
Just in case.
If I don’t kill him once before, I’m going to run away.
Balock was a difficult opponent who couldn’t help but be in the best condition.
‘I thought I was halfway there, but I was lucky. ’
One point.
It was just one thing.
Power varies by every step depending on how narrow the same force is compressed.
The compressed force was not confusing later, but rather quiet.
‘This is the first time I’ve succeeded properly. ’
I felt relieved that I had succeeded. Meanwhile, another party, including the regular one, approaches Yun Jae.
“Hey, are you okay? ”
“I don’t think he’s gonna die. ”
Yoon Jae who said that was still lying on the floor. Jung relieved that Yoon Jae’s voice was more upright than he thought.
“The deal I made with him is over. ”
“Well…. ”
Yoon Jae turns his head and looks at Baloch’s corpse, bleeding on the floor.
“Maybe he’s still alive. ”
“Yes? No way. ”
My body was cut in half. I know Valok’s vitality is strong, but it’s hard to believe he’s still alive after looking like that.
“Hey, are you dead? Hey!”
However, Yoon Jae seemed to think that Balock was still alive for some reason.
The group, including the regular group, looks curious as to what Yoon Jae is doing.
Then.
– Noisy…
Ooh, ooh-
Voices coming from right next to you.
The group, including the Regular, raises their downward blade in surprise, and Royse quickly extends the wall forward.
“Oh, you’re not dead yet? ”
“How……. ”
I thought he was dead.
But I didn’t die. The voice was definitely Baloch’s.
“There’s no need to panic. ”
Yoon Jae grunted and barely raised his upper body.
“You won’t be able to move. ”
– Heheh heh. You’re not surprised.
“Then it’s funny to talk like that, but I’m going to move on. ”
I was talking as if I knew, but in fact, Yoon Jae was also rebellious.
‘It’s probably a good thing you didn’t die, considering the promise. ’
[Vallock is not dead. Even with his head cut off, he didn’t die, he put his neck back together again.
No matter how hard Bear cuts, so does Behr. Immortality that never dies. Balock regenerated slowly, but slowly.]
Immortality.
A body that doesn’t literally die.
Yoon Jae knew the story and was not sure. Common sense was he could not think of a case where he did not die from Beigo.
But I couldn’t believe it myself.
‘It’s not worth dying for me to see her like that and still be alive. ’
Yoon Jae barely woke up and walked in front of Balock’s eyes, who was still on the ground.
“How are you feeling? ”
– Are you mocking me?
“No, it’s not like that. I just wanted to see what it would feel like not to die like that. ”
– That’s not very pleasant. We’ll be back soon anyway.
“Was it because Zahar couldn’t kill you to tie you up here without killing you? ”
When Yoon Jae asked, he closed his eyes.
Blood flowed from the half-cut body, but the blood immediately began to wriggle and return to the body of Balock.
– I made you a promise with my mouth.
He said it with his own mouth.
It was Baloch who was the owner of the horse himself. He said it without thinking about losing, but I had to keep it until I said it out of my mouth once.
He didn’t kill me. That’s why you tied me up here.
“Tell me what you know about Zahar. ”
– You know?
Baloch grinned and looked at Yoon Jae.
– I don’t know anything about him. I just know he was like me.
“Similar?”
– The first key qualified to hold the Holy Grail. Zahar, he was the only ‘human’ with my qualifications. And it’s a copy of the Holy Grail.
“Your Holy Grail…? ”
At Baloch’s words, Yoon Jae’s heart began to beat violently again.
The Holy Spirit of Man.
It was surprising that the monarch Zahar had the Holy Grail he wanted, and it was surprising that he was the same key as himself.
“Whose hand is the Holy Grail already in? ’
I was embarrassed.
Obviously, it wasn’t anyone’s.
If Zahar really was the first key to the Holy Grail, he might have to take what was in his hand later.
‘No, if that’s the case, why…. ’
Yoon Jae hurriedly checked his right hand.
Zahar’s shackles.
This was originally Zahar’s. It was also a symbol of the key’s qualifications.
Besides, the key wasn’t just yourself.
‘The key that existed before me, Lucia, and Abram……. ’
The key itself has appeared for generations. Of course, not all of them had the Holy Grail.
“When was the last time you were sealed here? ”
Baloch was the same age as Zahar.
Perhaps Baloch was sealed here just after or just before he got his hands on the Holy Grail.
– When…
Baloch thought for a moment and replied.
– It’s been, like, 200 years. Well, not exactly. I’ve been cooped up here for so long, I lost my sense of time.
“200 years……. ”
If I had a guess, I wouldn’t have made such a big mistake. Two hundred years would not have made such a big difference from Abram’s rampage.
‘Maybe it was Zahar who sealed Abram. ’
Yun Jae asked other questions about Zahar. But surprisingly, he also knew very little about Zahar.
It was the same for the Holy Grail.
Baloch was the first to fight over the Holy Grail with Zahar, but he didn’t even know about it.
I just knew it was a Bogu with some enormous power.
“I don’t know much. ”
Regular people listening to Baloch’s reply together muttered.
The same is true of the rest of the party.
They were also interested in Zahar as the first qualified key to gaining the Holy Grail.
But beyond that, there wasn’t much to know about Zahar.
Balock grins as he twists his mouth halfway to normal complaints.
– I said I’d tell you everything I know.
“I’m proud I don’t know. ”
Normally, I sighed as if it were ridiculous.
On the other hand, Yoon Jae stood still, staring at his right hand, whether he had more thoughts or not.
“Dude, what do you think you’re doing? ”
“Ah……. ”
Yoon Jae quickly replied as if he had regained consciousness.
“No, nothing. We better get going.”
Just below where Balock stood, there was a passageway down to the deeper underground.
Yun Jae and the group take a small step down, keeping their eyes on the undead Baloch.
– I hope to see you again soon.
Baloch opened his mouth, looking at the shiny material at the entrance of the passageway. Yoon Jae paused for a moment, stared at Baloch and said.
“I hope we never see each other again. ”
As long as it’s like that, it will take time to recover, even if it is Baloch. As soon as I left with what I had to pack, I had nothing to fight with Balock again.
The pathway down was stairway. The first entrance was not so large as about 10 meters wide, but gradually grew several times as you went down.
“Stop for a second. ”
Yoon Jae looks back at the group behind him.
The regular that followed immediately asked with a curious voice.
“What’s the matter? ”
“I have to go in alone from here. ”
In Yun Jae’s answer, Kim Jin-seok found a phrase written on the bottom of the stairs far away.
“What does it say? ”
“I’m asking you to come in alone. Qualified person, key. He’s the only one who deserves to go ahead. ”
“So? You have to go in alone? ”
“Yes. Otherwise you won’t get what you want. ”
What you want.
There was nothing to think about. The reason they came all this way was to get the pieces.
“…… I can’t help it. ”
“Knng. That’s too bad. ”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous? ”
The rest of the party is concerned.
It seemed to me that it was hard to send Yoon Jae alone. At this moment, I couldn’t see Yoon Jae’s body as well.
“I think we should take a break and get moving. After recovering a little… ”
“You’ll be fine. I’ll be right back if it’s dangerous. ”
Yoon Jae’s voice was resolute.
It was a voice full of certainty somewhere.
Elvin, Lois and Kim Jin-seok hesitated for a moment. I thought it was right to send Yoon Jae alone here.
“Goodbye.”
Surprisingly, the person who sat down on the stairs nodded gently.
“Then we’ll rest here for a while. Why don’t you go ahead and tell me what happened? I’m dying to know.”
“Are you sure about this?”
“What can I do? We can’t keep up.” And there’s no one to be stubborn about. ”
In Royse’s question, the regular man shrugged his shoulders and replied as if he did not have much to offer.
After hanging out with Yoon Jae the longest, the other party has nothing more to say.
Fluffy…
“Suit yourself. I don’t know anymore. ”
“Whatever. ”
Regular, Elvin and Kim Jin-seok sat down.
Royce, who is standing with Yun Jae, sighs deeply as he looks at the other group, agitated to see if he hasn’t settled his mind yet.
“Hah, these mindless humans…. ”
“What?”
“Oh, no. ”
Kim Jin-seok raised his head, raising his eyes, and Royse sat down, flabbergasted.
Yoon Jae smiles as she looks at the group. Then you go down the remaining steps and start walking down the flat.
Tsutztsu –
At some point, the space began to distort and Yoon Jae’s appearance began to disappear. The surprise party tries to get up halfway, and Yoon Jae turns his head back.
“I’ll be back.”
Ts…
Soon, Yoon Jae’s appearance disappeared completely.
Like I was being sucked into a whole other world.
“…… what. ”
Regular, who had stood up halfway from his seat, calmed his surprised heart and sat down again.
He said it quietly, but he was more worried about Yoon Jae than anyone else.
‘Please come back with nothing. ’
* *
Tsutztsu –
Yoon Jae’s missing body appeared from a completely different place.
Yoon Jae looked around for a moment at the backward landscape.
‘I’m familiar with it.’
A vast, distant cloud.
Yoon Jae is standing on it right now.
It was a familiar landscape. Yun Jae had already come to the same place a long time ago.
“Temple……. ”
A huge temple with a hazy view through the fog.
I’ve seen that, too.
I was wondering when I learned about this place through the diary.
The scenery above the clouds would not be so common, so it was not possible to rule out the same place as it was seen in the tutorial.
‘This place is connected to the tutorial. ’
Last tutorial.
A mission to stop Balock from being summoned to another world.
I never thought I’d see him again. I always thought tutorials were just tutorials.
It was the same for the others as well.
I have never heard of a tutorial that decides whether to enter the inner world or not.
Puck, puck-
Every time I took a step, I was sucked under my feet.
Feels like walking on really soft clouds. It may not actually be able to step on the clouds, but it’s really fluffy down there.
Yoon Jae walked straight into the temple, visible through the mist.
gradually, it became more and more apparent.
A massive structure spanning many kilometers.
Yun Jae arrived there and climbed up the tens of thousands of stairs.
As I climbed the stairs, a familiar landscape appeared before my eyes.
It was clear.
‘There. ’
Yoon Jae raised his head and asked, looking up at the ceiling of the high temple.
“Are you there? ”
Soon after Yoon Jae’s words fell.
“Never thought I’d see you again. ”
Kuh, phrase –
The massive temple shakes.
Yoon Jae turned around when he heard his voice.
“I never thought I’d be back here again. ”
“It’s been three years? ”
“Three years…… not so long ago. ”
Yoon Jae looked at a human being who was about three meters tall.
Hair mixed with red and gold, skin that is white enough to be transparent, and shoulders that look large despite the size of 3 meters.
A giant human dressed in gold cloth.
It was the Arian.
“Looks like you didn’t mind seeing me this time. ”
Arian grins as she approaches Yun Jae.
The enormous presence of his body.
Yoon Jae couldn’t even breathe properly the first time he faced his presence.
In the end, Arian erased his presence in front of Yun Jae, allowing him to escape the pressure.
But now, Arian still boasts of his existence.
“There’s been a lot going on. ”
“What could have changed like this? ”
Arian was genuinely surprised.
Three years.
No, not even for a short time.
I didn’t think a human being could change like this.
Humans were that weak. At least that’s what Arian knew.
“Your monarch knows that, doesn’t he? ”
“The Lord…? ”
“I heard it all. Lord Zahar, he was the same key as me. It was the first key, holding the Holy Grail. ”
“Hmm……. ”
Arian looks down at Yun Jae with thin eyes.
Then I thought about something for a moment and sat down.
“Looks like we have a lot to talk about. ”
As he bent his knees and sat comfortably, his gaze was only slightly similar to Yoon Jae’s. No, even so, Yoon Jae had to look up a little.
“Where did you hear that story? ”
“I heard from Baloch. ”
“Baloch? Did he tell you that story? ”
“Yes.”
“That’s a bit surprising. I didn’t think he had such a light mouth. ”
Arian seems to know Balock pretty well.
“Have you met Balock? ”
“We’ve met. I’ve met the Angel Key, not just him. ”
“As expected……. ”
In response, Yoon Jae clearly summarized his thoughts.
“You, dragon. ”
“Have you met the other guy? ”
“We met once. I felt the same way about the dragon I met then. ”
The dragon I met in the middle.
When Yoon Jae first met him, he felt similar somewhere.
At first, I didn’t know where I felt it. But after a little more time, I could see it.
Arian.
A priest who served King Zahar, whom I met in the tutorial.
The dragon had the same energy as he had felt.
“Of course, you don’t seem like a regular dragon. ”
The difference between the dragon and the Arian I met in the middle region was one.
Energy is the same, but it was different from its presence.
Standing face to face with Arian right now, Yoon Jae did not have a sense of how enormous his existence was.
It’s different.
“There is a fishbowl that is not a normal dragon. Just because you’re stronger than the other humans doesn’t mean you’re not human. ”
“…… that’s true. ”
“Same thing. Even if there were fewer of us in the first place, not everyone would have the same power. I’m just a little stronger than the other dragons. ”
“Is that all? ”
“What do you want to know? ”
“Why you are here, why you have Zahar as the monarch. And……. ”
Yun Jae takes her eyes off the Arian and looks around the interior of the temple.
“I wonder why you’re guarding the pieces. ”
“ ……. ”
In Yun Jae’s answer, Arian narrowed his eyes.
“Are you here for the sculpture? ”
“Yes, that’s right. ”
“Do you know what that is? ”
“I don’t know exactly. Except it’s a clue and a qualification to get the Holy Grail. ”
It would have been nice to know about the sculpture in advance.
Yoon Jae didn’t know exactly what kind of power it was. It was a car that wondered what the inner pieces were and what powers they had.
Unfortunately, the journal record was stopped at the moment I got the piece.
“Hmm……. ”
Arian looked at Yun Jae for a moment and thought:
Yoon Jae waited for him to open his mouth again. Another time, I would have rushed to get the pieces, pulling out the sword right away, but this time it was different.
‘It’s not something you can do with your strength. ’
Arian.
He was qualitatively different from the one Yoon Jae had met.
In Baloch’s case, the force was sealed considerably and the movement was restricted by the chains. But even that constraint did not apply to Arian.
Yoon Jae’s current condition was difficult to cope with even an ordinary dragon. How much more Arian was one of the top dragons.
Perhaps he can’t be defeated, even if he strikes with the others.
‘It’s up to the interest to recover the pieces. ’
Yoon Jae waited for a while.
Until Arian opens his mouth.
Soon.
“If you’ve crossed Balock, you deserve it. ”
“Did you need a qualification? ”
“You don’t need a special qualification. The sculpture itself is a kind of qualification. But you can’t just hand it over to anyone. ”
“At least I’m not anyone.” ”
“We’ve crossed Balock. He couldn’t even kill the monarch. ”
Lord Zahar.
The presence of the Arian.
Yun Jae had already heard that Balock was sealed by Zahar and tied to a chain, but she couldn’t help but wonder.
“Is he that great? ”
“Amazing. Haven’t you ever been there? ”
“I don’t think I’m better than you. ”
“Thankful for that. ”
“It’s not an empty phrase…. ”
Yoon Jae meant what he said.
At least I didn’t think Yun Jae would never be able to handle seeing Baloch.
With Kim Jin-seok, Elvin, Royce and the rest of the group, I was confident I could make it.
But it wasn’t the Arian in front of me.
Arian is a huge creature that I can imagine being able to cope with the other party. Of course, as Yoon Jae, the Arian looked even greater than Baloch.
“If Baloch hadn’t been so weak, you wouldn’t be here. ”
“Is that weakness? ”
In Arian’s answer, Yoon Jae widened his eyes and asked.
Although his body was tied to a chain and his movements were limited, Baloch was more difficult than any opponent Yun Jae had ever met.
Of course, I didn’t think it would be weakened.
“You must be very weak. Otherwise, he would have run out a long time ago. ”
“Was Baloch also one of the Demon King? ”
Baloch’s power was closer to Magi than his magic. Yun Jae thought that he would be among the Demon King.
“What is the Demon King? The old monarch made a mistake. ”
“Made up? ”
“Literally. A creature you created to create the perfect demon. That’s Baloch. Well, he’s a powerful monster after all. ”
“Wasn’t Balock the key? ”
“That’s right. It was the worst. In the beginning, the old monarch thought the next monarch just needed to be strong. But he was defeated and became like that. I wonder why the Holy Grail chose him…. ”
As Arian continued, Yoon Jae’s mind became increasingly complex.
The old monarch, the key, the creation, the sculpture, the Holy Grail.
Several other words were mixed and combined in my head and repeated. What this picture is, the puzzle is not easily solved.
“Don’t think too hard. First, collect the pieces. I’ll give you a piece of this. ”
After saying that, Arian began walking deeper into the temple. Yoon Jae walked behind the complex head quietly.
The interior of the temple was too wide. It seemed to be dozens of times larger than the temple I had seen before.
‘Not a speck of dust. ’
It was hard to imagine cleaning this area by myself.
No, I couldn’t imagine the Arian in front of me sweeping the floor.
‘Where the hell are we going? ’
Even from the outside, the temple that looked huge came in and went around, and it became a little realistic how wide it was.
The steps of the Arian were quite fast, since it was only a few hours after that.
After that, Yoon Jae walked behind the Arian without a word. I broke down the long corridor several times.
Jubbuck-
“Here.”
“Here?”
Yoon Jae stopped and looked around.
The corridor that had been broken down several times no longer continued. Looks like this place is the end of the temple.
The wall at the end of the hall was painted with a pair of wings.
It didn’t have to be hard to think about what it was. Yoon Jae had already seen that a few times.
‘The devil’s wings. ’
Pointed, scaly wings.
It was a symbol of the devil’s wings. I never thought that there would be such a pattern in the sacred temple to serve someone.
“Is this… a place for demons?” ”
“It’s hard to see you as a servant. It’s just a symbol of this place. ”
“Symbol?”
“Humans, demons, angels. A symbolic symbol for each faction. You knew that, didn’t you? This is where the demons keep one of the pieces. ”
It was a natural sound.
The reason Yoon Jae came all this way in the first place was to take the pieces from the Devil’s Land.
‘I never thought I’d be in a place like this. ’
Surprisingly.
When I realized I was in the land of the demons, I thought I was in a dark place or a dungeon.
Even until I found the first dungeon, that thought did not change. However, the place with the real pieces was a better place for angels than for demons.
“You’re prejudiced. ”
“Yes?”
“Why do you think this place suits you humans or angels? Do you think if there was a God, the Devil wouldn’t have built a temple and an altar for that God? ”
In Arian’s question, Yoon Jae felt confident and was unable to answer for a moment. It was true what he thought.
“Humans are colorless, angels are white, demons are black. The color of each species that you humans think of a lot. Maybe that’s why, when I look at the White Shrine, I always think of angels first. ”
“Were there a lot of people here? ”
“Not many, but a few. There were a few humans among the monarchs of all time. ”
Monarchs.
Yoon Jae immediately realized what that meant.
“Does the owner of the Holy Grail keep changing? ”
“This side of the world is a kind of testing ground. The Holy Grail calls on thousands of humans, demons, and angels to hide its new owner. ”
“That is……. ”
“Yes.”
Arian nodded and looked into Yun Jae’s mind.
“It’s you. ”
The stage that defines the owner of the Holy Grail.
It was really simple and simple Yoon Jae was surprised that it was the Holy Grail that chose her.
‘Then Balock also…. ’
It wasn’t just Baloch.
The same was true of Satan. The key to the demon side as well as the self was the Holy Grail’s choice.
I didn’t know what the criteria were.
Yun Jae was too weak when he first entered the other side of the world.
There may be other criteria.
“You seem thoughtful. ”
Arian blocked Yoon Jae’s question from the beginning.
“Well, you’ll find out soon enough anyway. Now just imagine what this could mean. ”
“This?”
“Sculpture. Isn’t this what you wanted? ”
Arian said that and spread out his hands the size of Yoon Jae’s face.
Suddenly, there was a small orb the size of a thumbnail in his hand.
“Is this… a fragment?” ”
“Why? Is it weird? ”
“It’s so different from what I thought… …. ”
“Then what were you thinking? ”
In response to Arian’s question, Yoon Jae was silent.
In fact, there was no particular shape that the sculpture would look like this. However, the shape of the small bead was surprising.
‘I don’t feel very strong…’ ’
Yoon Jae reaches out and picks up the piece above Arian’s hand.
A ball a little bigger than a nail. Yoon Jae took a good look at it. However, no matter how much I looked, there seemed to be nothing special.
It was just a simple orb that looked like it didn’t make much difference even though it was off the road.
“Swallow.”
“Yes?”
“I said swallow. You’ll see. ”
At Arian’s words, Yoon Jae glances at the sculpture in her hand for a moment.
Then.
Hot Stone-
Gulp –
Yoon Jae, who pushed the piece into his mouth, swallowed it up and down his throat in a heartbeat.
Arian closes her eyes to see Yoon Jae swallowing the piece.
“I hope to see you again someday. ”
“Someday?”
At that moment, Yoon Jae questioned what Arian said.
쩍-
The landscape inside the temple, visible to Yoon Jae, began to split apart.
