269. The resistance of the crossing
Halgion was quite strong.
Because he insisted on why he had to use his strength for these things.
However, after the third day of my sincere persuasion, he also surrendered. He readily accepted it with a happy face, as if heaven had reached his sincerity. It couldn’t have been a good thing.
Normal training will never catch up to them.
Regardless of talent or hard work, Niflheim’s 1st party members had been polishing themselves long before we landed here. The time and experience accumulated are different.
Then, in the end, I had to use an unusual method.
Fortunately, a card to counter was in hand. The special treasure left by El Cid, the Book of Reverse Heaven, and training in the world of images, the cause of my rapid growth. If you use these two things, you will have at least one chance.
“Is everyone ready?”
I opened my mouth.
Jenna and Belquist were looking around with puzzled expressions.
All around it was a reddish-brown field that stretched beyond the horizon. It was a desolate landscape.
“Is this… an imaginary world? It’s hard to tell it apart from reality.”
Belquist frowned.
“Take it easy. It’s just like reality. Except you come back to life when you die.”
“My real body is in the waiting room, right? You can fight freely!”
[Don’t be optimistic. Because this place forcibly linked you to his image. Egos may get mixed up if you get into trouble. It would be really worth seeing!”
muttered the man in jet-black armor.
A peculiar sullen expression. It was Halgion’s human form.
[If it weren’t for the rotten contractor, I would have given you a bowl of muk. Relying on an insignificant human being despite being given invincible power. Shit I picked the wrong person…]
“What did you say?”
[It’s nothing.]
Halgion waved his hand.
It seemed there was no need to convince her again.
Jenna looked at him and nodded her head.
“It was a perfect pigeon outside, but it looked like this.”
[Are you kidding me? My original form is not so weak!]
“This old man gets angry easily.”
“They’re just tickling on the outside. You two can help too. It’s good if we fight together. It’s very effective.”
I put the bag on my back down.
When I opened the entrance, colorful stones were shining inside.
These are all engraved stones. These were the things Isel extracted from the Book of Reversal. Some key imprints, including El Cid’s imprint, could not be extracted, but these were treasures no less than S-class.
“If you upgrade to 6 stars, you can use 3 imprinted slots. You have to experiment freely and find the best combination. Depending on your needs, synthesis is possible. You can also strengthen it.”
There are too many engraving stones.
It literally wiped out the entire server.
There was no bonanza like this.
‘The basic base is fixed, but the repertoire will be enriched.’
Belkist and I have Black Dragon Blood and White Dragon Blood, respectively.
We need to work in a way that maximizes the strengths and eliminates the weaknesses. On the other hand, Jenna will have to acquire new strength enough to be eaten in a fight with a higher-ranking being.
[Are you going to gain other strength when digging into just one is not enough? As long as the greed is too much! Didn’t I tell you before! My strength is in the entire universe…]
[I can smell the old man from somewhere.]
I looked to the side.
To the right of Belquist stood a woman with a nonchalant impression wearing a robe.
He was nearly 2m tall and had long, pure white hair. Horns sprouted on both sides of its head, and its skin was covered with white scales.
Delta Assinis.
It was the ancestor of the same 4 generations as Halgion, and another ancient species dwelling in Belquist.
“Excuse me. You came out on your own.”
Belquist shrugged.
Asinis said yes or no.
[If you want to become stronger, I’ll help you too.]
[What?]
[This isn’t the time to be kidding. Halgion. Do you know where the other two are? Attached to the prince.]
If you’re talking about these two, are you referring to the remaining ancient species?
Assinis looked around us with cold eyes.
[You seem to be thinking about outside work, but I don’t know if you can afford it. The prince had already perfectly mastered the power of the two. I’m not in a position to discriminate between purebloods and hybrids. If this happens, I will not be able to keep my oath with the emperor. Are you still okay? You bear all the responsibility.]
[Are you saying that Rantia and Shuten betrayed you?]
[That’s right.]
The two of them met their eyes and began to purse their lips.
No sound came out at all. It seemed like they were talking in silence.
“It tells a very complex story.”
Jenna looked at me and whispered.
“don’t mind.”
All we have to do is do it.
‘Come to think of it…’
There was one more headache.
Prios all Ragna. The older brother of Priasis and the first heir to the imperial throne.
It was a monster believed to be the final boss of the Taoneer scenario.
‘I’ll count it dirty.’
Estimated level is at least 300.
Like the S-level difficulty, the boss level is no joke.
[You say you’re interfering with a board that would be lacking even if the four of you got together? Where did you throw away your oath? You hit the back of the head in pairs! Chew them to death!]
The discussion seemed to be over.
Halgion roared, not hiding his anger.
[good. I won’t cover the methods either!]
Halgion jumped up from his seat.
Then, he stared at Belquist and Jenna with lifeless eyes.
[Did you say Belquist and Jenna? i don’t care Be prepared!]
Jenna nodded absently.
‘It’s better than grumbling.’
Teachers increased from one to two.
I know their strength from firsthand experience.
It will be of great help in our training.
“Did you hear? They don’t care.”
I smiled at the two of them.
“They really won’t look at you, so be prepared. You guys agreed. You can’t run away anymore.”
“I will leave it up to you!”
“I hoped.”
The will seems to be sufficient.
‘Let’s concentrate.’
so that growth is not twisted.
I am well aware that my role is important. Mixing imprints incorrectly can have the opposite effect.
The goal is to go beyond being a simple ranker and reach the pinnacle of being a 6-star hero. If you want to fight Siris, you’ll have to surpass even that. The road to go was Taishan.
sereung.
I took out the bifrost.
We decided to start by checking each other’s strengths. Only by understanding the current situation can you make a basic plan.
The two of them drew out their weapons without hesitation, as if they had noticed my intentions.
‘This is the last.’
There are few opportunities for training in the future.
You will run without rest until you finish the final mission.
At the end I decide
only in my judgment.
It was training for that.
Because I want to at least end this hellish journey with my own hands.
“Once…”
I grabbed the hilt of the sword.
“Come on both.”
Dismissed! Paperweight!
Dark red lightning started spinning all over his body.
* * *
“Are you insane, Siris?”
Lydegion said coldly.
“I endured even confining the master without giving any explanation. But what did you just say?”
“…they said they would cut it. If it stays until the end.”
“Do you want to die?”
sereung.
The blade was half pulled out of the Ridigion’s scabbard.
Siris quietly closed her eyes.
“When did you become this ugly? If you truly believed in the Master, you would have to tell the Master everything and leave it up to him to judge. But then, if it weren’t for the rules of the 13th floor, it would have been a matter of life and death.”
“This is a decision I made. As a Submaster of Niflheim.”
“You mean for the master?”
Siris nodded.
bang!
Ridigion jumped out of his seat and stood up.
“I’m out of here. Do as you please.”
clap.
He walked out of the meeting room with wild steps, holding the sheath.
“Uh… You seem to be very angry.”
“He said that once or twice? Isn’t his personality originally hard. Like a barnacle.”
“Isn’t it embarrassing like this? I’ll follow you and try to convince you.”
“Not right now.”
Yurnet unfolded her fan.
“We’ll have to wait and see. He’ll understand our hearts.”
“I don’t know what you mean… I don’t know.”
“Neither do I.”
Muden scratched his cheek.
“I don’t even know why they’re going through such hardships. Can’t I just leave them alone? The Master will do just fine. I’m forcing this kind of pressure…”
Kung!
“Eh, being weak is a sin.”
“We must stop the master from going to Server 1 at all costs. That’s our mission. I’ve already explained it once…”
Siris continued.
“If you go there, you’ll never come back. Forever.”
“…never.”
“I’d rather die.”
Yurnet lowered her head.
“I will convince you of Ridigion.”
Siris also got up from her chair.
She picked up the Levatein that was leaning against the wall and left the conference room.
This was followed by a long, long hallway. The castle in the middle of the 13th floor of Niflheim. It was a place created only for Loki, the master of Niflheim.
‘I don’t want it.’
that you will be forgiven
The end of a long, long wandering.
In the end, she was able to know the whole truth about Mobius.
cause of extinction.
Why there is no turning back.
The identity of the ‘debris’ and ‘pollution’ that eroded 100 million worlds at the same time.
Even the reason why this place exists even if forced.
After exiting the corridor, a large hall appeared.
A curtain could be seen over the splendid hall.
Behind it is a throne made of black marble.
‘Illusion.’
bubble.
it was all fake
It’s meaningless.
It turned into nothing more than trash.
[Are you okay, Siris?]
Isel appeared with the flames right next to him.
He was a fairy who had been managing Niflheim for a very long time, and a companion who had been wandering with her for many years.
[I don’t like the face. It looks like it would be nice to rest.]
“No.”
[…]
Issel disappeared without saying anything.
Siris followed Lidigion’s footsteps and walked. Soon
, a faint sound slipped out
of his mouth .
“Han Israt.”
Once more.
“Loki.”
finally.
“…master.”
* * *
Bardia, the capital of the Empire.
There is a building built only for the emperor thousands of years ago.
Palace of Ragnasars.
“majesty!”
An old knight in armor prostrated himself in front of the man.
A man wrapped in red bandages sat cross-legged on a golden throne.
Clean blonde hair was revealed through the bandage tied around her head.
“The Holy City has been captured. Now, reckless traitors will flock to this place. Hurry up and give orders!”
“Fria has grown a lot.”
“…Your Highness?”
“Leave it alone. The next mission begins soon.”
“Yes?”
“Oops. You don’t know.”
The old knight hit his head on the marble floor with a thud.
“Your Majesty, if you don’t give me any orders…!”
“Go away. I have something to think about.” “Until Your
Highness
commands, I will not back down!”
“I told
him to leave .”
[Praios. How long are you going to stick around? The end is right in front of you. ] [
The slaves of
the goddess will
come in
soon
. Even if you sacrifice yourself, Taonier doesn’t come back. You’ve been tricked. Now finish it.]
[Get revenge on Tell before that.]
“Don’t be noisy. Thinking about it.”
[You think about it all day.]
[Are you more willing to fulfill the contract? Didn’t you say you would end the meaningless cycle?]
“It’s really noisy.”
As the man waved his hand, it echoed deep in his head. The voices that had been coming in disappeared.
He then looked around the palace. The loyal servants of the empire that once filled this place had long since left their seats. The heads of the four generations who assisted him have all disappeared. All that remains is a man. “… that
‘s not fun,”
the man muttered with his chin leaning in.
“Come quickly. I’m bored to death.”
