Episode 179
“I feel dirty just looking at those bones.”
Hehe.
The large, muscular man grumbled, spitting thick spit.
It seemed to be well over 2m.
“Hehe. We’re on the same side, so think a little more leniently, my brother.”
The person who said that was, on the contrary, a dwarf who looked about 130 cm tall.
They were very infamous murderous ghosts on the continent called double ghosts.
His older brother, Ilgwi, was a master of memorization and poison, and his younger brother, Igwi, was a master of geochang (巨槍).
Of course, each of them was a master-level superhuman.
However, what made the brothers even more infamous was their passing the training.
There were more than 10 sword masters who lost their lives as they passed their mysterious training as if they were one body.
To that extent, passing their training was an object of fear even for those with master-level skills.
“…Please don’t be harsh to my cute children….”
It was a bizarre voice that seemed to be coming from a married woman.
The person who spoke that voice was a man with bluish skin and sunken eyes who looked like a corpse.
The man sitting against the wall was surrounded by all kinds of undead.
Skeleton, Skeleton Mage, Skeleton Knight, Ghoul, Ghost, Death Knight, Dullahan… .
It looked as if he was going to fight a war alone.
The man’s name was Kilmer, and people called him the Infinite Necromancer.
Living up to his nickname, Kilmer was able to summon an almost infinite number of undead.
As the undead caused so much harm to the world, the Iria Church officially designated them and even offered a high bounty.
But he didn’t care at all, and instead built his own castle in the swampy area to the south and exercised his authority like a king.
However, even the lords who ruled the surrounding territories did not even dare to think about subjugating them.
“joy.”
Lee Gui crossed his arms and turned his head crookedly, ignoring Kilmer’s words.
As a non-fighter, it was natural that he would not like summoning skills, especially undead summoning skills.
Ilgwi just giggled and laughed.
Kilmer also said no more and was staring into empty space with expressionless eyes.
“Hehe, I don’t like this atmosphere.”
Someone muttered.
He was the great sage of King Mangjong.
King Mangjong stretched out his hand and patted his curved back and continued speaking.
“By the way. Kilmer, your kids aren’t bad, but isn’t it better to quality than quantity?”
In front of Mangjong, there were two golems about the size of an average person.
Looking at its wooden appearance, it felt like it was just an ordinary wood golem.
But it was no ordinary wood golem.
It was a golem made by cutting branches from the world tree, which only exists on the continent.
Its strength was stronger than that of Orichalcon or Amantium Golem, which were said to be made of the strongest metal, and it even had tremendous magic resistance.
It was capable of withstanding even class 8 attack magic.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it truly the strongest golem.
There is a kingdom of elves around the World Tree.
The elves considered the World Tree sacred, believing it to be the source of all things. Therefore, no large human would have dared to approach the World Tree and break its branches.
However, how Mangjong obtained the branches of the World Tree was still shrouded in mystery.
However, there was only a rumor going around that they had been given and obtained a cure that could cure a serious infectious disease that was spreading among the elves.
“…It’s the World Tree Golem. It’s definitely amazing….”
Kilmer opened his mouth in an eerie voice. King Manjong nodded repeatedly, as if he was satisfied with what he said.
“Am-Am, wouldn’t these two World Tree Golems be able to deal with even the Sword Emperor?”
“Even so, it’s a scrap metal with no intelligence. You can’t even compare it to Geomje, the hero of all heroes.”
A middle-aged man with a cold expression appeared from nowhere and said.
I could feel his prayer as sharp as a well-honed sword.
When he appeared, Ssanggui and Kilmer unconsciously looked at each other as if they were wary.
It was an instinctive action.
This is because in the other world, they were not people who could possibly be in the same place.
The only one who was still calm was Mangjong.
“Lord Hurain, you’re talking about scrap metal! Even if your mouth is crooked, keep your words straight. It’s not scrap metal, it’s old wood. Hehehe.”
“Then let me correct you.”
“It’s okay. By the way, Lord Hurain seems to rate the Sword Emperor quite highly.”
“I’m not evaluating it highly, I’m just looking at it objectively.”
“Hehe, even if that’s the case, there’s nothing to worry about because Lord Hurain is here.”
Hyurain was one of the Ten Great Spirits of the Continent and the strongest spirit master known as the Great Spirit Master of the Four Stars.
Water, fire, wind, earth.
Spirits are divided into four classes of attributes.
A person with a talent for elementals could become a spiritist who could manipulate spirits of one of those attributes.
Occasionally, there were people who were born with two attributes and could control two types of spirits, but it was extremely rare.
However, Hurain was able to handle all four properties.
In addition, he was able to use all of those attributes, even the Spirit King.
Even if a talented person only studies one attribute throughout his or her life, it is more difficult than passing through the eye of a needle to reach the level of being able to rule as a Spirit King.

Therefore, Hurain could truly be said to be a spirit priest sent from heaven.
“….”
To Mangjong’s words, Hurain remained silent without answering.
“Oh, and there’s also a commander in chief.”
Manjong twisted his wrinkled lips and smiled.
Where Manjong’s gaze was directed, there was a person wearing a devil-like mask.
He was the head of the Black Cross.
He was a mystery itself.
Neither his name nor his identity nor his skills were clearly revealed.
However, everyone thought that the leader of the Black Cross had the power to overwhelm the sky.
“…I’m honored that Manjong looks at me like that.”
Surprisingly, the voice that came out of the mouth of the devil mask was that of a woman.
Now that I think about it, the silhouette of the commander was clearly that of a woman, not a man.
“Hehe, by the way, the emperor is truly amazing to have all this power gathered in one place. At this level, not even the Sword Emperor, but even the money dedicated to the Sword Emperor, would not be able to recover even a single bone.”
Mangjong’s words and the thoughts of everyone present were not different.
The power gathered here was enormous.
Each one of them was far beyond the level of an ordinary S-class.
In addition, there is Cheon-byeon who has already infiltrated the detention center.
Cheonbyeon was a talented person, but he was a much more difficult person because of his special skills.
It was very famous that she perfectly disguised herself as the Archmage’s wife and killed the Archmage without any effort.
“Of course, it would have been better if the emperor had gone with us.”
Manjong added.
“He is not someone who can move his body lightly.”
The commander said:
“Well… I guess you will.”
Manjong let out a strange laugh.
At that time, Seomjeon, who was standing behind the commander as if attending, politely opened his mouth.
“Chief, it’s almost time.”
After hearing those words, the commander slowly walked towards where the teleportation magic circle was.
Then he spoke briefly.
“Let’s get going.”
◈ ◈ ◈
Bloody tears flowed from Toya, who was sitting on the sofa.
I was very surprised at first, but now I’m so used to it that it’s a normal sight.
Every night before she went to bed, she used her abilities to scout out the area of the detention center.
It was the ability to share the animal’s vision.
With that ability, you can fly an owl with nocturnal vision to scout from the sky.
“Do you see something?”
Sihyeon sat next to me and asked.
“no.”
It was the same answer as usual.
It seemed like today would probably pass by uneventfully.
“The emperor.”
“huh.”
“They’re going to target Sadong where Choi Kang-hyuk is by surprise, right?”
You won’t be able to do anything big in a foreign country.
Moreover, they thought that the Geomje was here.
Therefore, it seemed highly likely that they would find out the location of Sadong where Choi Kang-hyuk was located in advance and then try to get him out quickly.
For them, there is no reason to increase sacrifices while fighting a bloody battle with the Geomje.
All that was needed was to achieve the desired goal of taking out the predator.
“Well, I guess so, but honestly, I don’t really know what kind of person the emperor is.”
Toya answered.
While scouting with the eyes of an owl, she had a knack for communicating with vision through her mouth.
“Well, that’s true.”
Sihyeon said that and was lost in thought. However, in this situation, I could not think of any reason to do something bigger.
Even if you acquire a predator, it is a minus if the sacrifice of other subordinates is great.
“Huh? Huh?”
It was then.
Toya made an unusual sound.
Sihyeon’s eyes quickly turned to Toya.
“why?”
“It showed up! It showed up!”
Toya made a fuss.
“where are you?”
“The mountain behind the detention center!”
“I’m going right away! Wise man, go over to the guild and quickly inform the paladin and guild members!”
It was when Sihyeon was about to run out, making no effort to get dressed.
Toya called Sihyeon.
“for a moment!”
“why?”
“Not just one place!”
“what?”
“There’s a bridge that leads to Ganghwa Island, too….”
“Ganghwa Bridge?”
“Yes, there.”
“Why are you there…?”
Ganghwa Bridge had nothing to do with the detention center.
This incident was ultimately a plot to get Choi Kang-hyuk out of the special detention center.
So, if a teleportation passage has already been secured in the mountain behind the detention center, there is no reason to appear there.
But why did it appear at Ganghwa Bridge?
“I don’t know, but it’s full of undead!”
Toya shouted loudly.
◈ ◈ ◈
“huh?”
When the car in front suddenly stopped, the man looked startled and quickly applied the brakes.
Good!
Quang!
He stopped quickly, but was unable to overcome the acceleration and the man’s car collided with the car in front.
Fortunately, I recognized it quickly and applied the brakes, otherwise a serious accident would have occurred.
The man swore as he unfastened his seatbelt.
“Hey, you crazy bastard!”
The man opened the car door with force and tried to walk roughly to the driver’s seat of the car that had suddenly stopped.
however.
“…ok?”
There was something strange in the man’s eyes.
It was a skeleton.
It was clearly a skeleton.
The bridge was filled with a huge number of skeletons.
“Ugh… Ugh!”
The man opened his eyes in horror and screamed.
Undead.
That was clearly the undead monster I had only heard about.
… Why are monsters here?!
Sigh!
“Aaaahhh!!”
The man’s gaze reflected the image of a woman screaming in pain after being stabbed by a sword that had just been struck by a skull.
It wasn’t just that one woman.
There was red blood and human corpses everywhere.
“Huhhh!!”
The man was so confused that he turned and tried to run away.
But my feet didn’t listen properly. Instead, I lost my strength and fell before I could even run a few steps.
The man who fell instinctively turned his head and looked behind him.
That moment.
The skull’s head stared right in front of me.
“Huh…!! Huh…!!”
The man fluttered his limbs in an attempt to survive, but the bones of his skeleton moved first.
Pooh wow!
The sword dug deep into my chest.
“Kuh…Kuhuhuh…”
The man felt his mind becoming blurred along with tremendous pain.
I couldn’t even breathe properly.
After a while.
The man’s head fell down.
◈ ◈ ◈
“…no one can pass by….”
Kilmer muttered as he stood in the middle of Ganghwa Bridge.
Two Dullahan were next to him as if they were guarding him. And the surrounding area was full of various undead.
Dozens, hundreds… No, it wasn’t that number.
There seemed to be thousands of them.
“…This is now the Island of Death….”
Kilmer lifted his narrow eyes and gazed into the interior of Ganghwa Island.
“…Go, children….”
Kilmer raised a finger as skinny as a skull and pointed to the entrance to Ganghwa Island.
Then, more than a thousand undead lined up and began moving inward.
It reminded me of soldiers going off to fight a war of enormous scale.
“…Kill, kill, kill….”
Kilmer’s creepy, grotesque voice rang out like an echo.
