Chapter 127
Magyeong (魔境).
(3) ==================== “… … indeed." The sage nodded his head.
“I understand your logic of action.
Seeing that it was impossible to defeat me with your own strength, you brought in foreign powers.
A beginner, who seems to have just arrived on the 50th floor, decided that he could not mobilize outside forces...
.”
Countless meteor showers were parting the gray sky even while Salcheonseong was speaking.
ah ah ah! Fireworks shot from a very distant place.
Thousands of attacks were made with enormous magical power.
“It was my error.”
Meteor showers were rushing in more and more rapidly.
But the sage was indifferent.
With an indifferent look, he scribbled a fountain pen and began to write something in his diary.
“From now on, even when responding to beginners, let’s keep in mind a strong foreign intervention.”
"crazy! Bounce!”
“Did the spider cubs take drugs in groups?!”
Hunters around them reacted faster than Salcheonseong.
Pot! Paah! As if it were a must-have item for hunters living on the 50th floor, it ripped the scrolls of instantaneous transitions here and there.
So did the bald bartender, who screamed at us just before he ran away.
"Hey! Lively! Again, the cost of the remodeling will be up to you, so don't forget to write it down! You have to pay for the scroll!”
"I know." widely.
“Finished entry.”
Sal Cheonseong closed the diary.
“According to the promise, from now on, I will do my best to protect the stranger.”
Finally, the meteor shower arrived right in front of us.
Wow! bang! Like indiscriminate bombardment, meteor showers destroyed the streets.
As the storm of destruction was about to hit the open-air pub, a hand grabbed my wrist.
“Visual and auditory maximization.
In return, I throw away [1 hour] of my memory.”
The sage murmured.
And an amazing feat took place.
The barrage of meteor showers that were so numerous that they covered the sky, Salcheonseong avoided the barrage with only a slight movement of his footsteps.
one step.
two footprints.
Every time he dragged me in and moved, a meteor shower flew right past me.
- Oh? An angry voice echoed from the sky.
-Hey, you constellation lover! why are you interfering go away! The guy who's with you right now has a grudge against our Mato! Unless you're trying to get a great staff and chuck, just walk away! "priority.
We do not ask for a solution through dialogue.”
Salcheonseong waved his right hand.
Then, the dust clouds created by the meteor shower were lifted at once.
Sal Chun-seong himself and I were completely fine.
- What a fucking conversation! Get off it, darling! “I must defend the stranger here, no matter what.
Protection means to ensure the whole mind, including the body of a stranger.
There is no room for compromise here.”
Sal Cheon-seong took out the notebook again with his left hand and read it.
“Matap is an extremely selfish group.
Being selfish, they can negotiate on the basis of their own interests and losses.
I am capable of inflicting serious harm to you.
Negotiate.”
- He's the enemy of us and the savage! It is the enemy of fire, sphere, great, and thousand! “All problems can be solved through rational dialogue.”
-Hey! Hey! Guys! If anyone knows how much memory he has now, report it! Tens of thousands of wizards were riding on broomsticks in the sky.
One of them answered.
-This is a publicity seat belonging to the regular monitoring group! Leader (手領)! Memories of Salcheonseong now have 7 days left! -Damn, did you fill it up with grass for a week? The sound of grinding teeth spread.
-Does not matter! Get rid of all those constellation lovers! As of now, Ma Tower is in a state of general mobilization! From the first finger to the fifth finger, all those who belong to the tower, hunt Geomje and Salcheonseong! Say it again guys! This is the total mobilization order! “… It's a breakdown in negotiations." The sage murmured.
The diary he was holding in his left hand flipped over.
“Search, horse tower.
Additional search, battle.
Detailed search, breach of law.”
Sal Cheonseong glanced through the diary.
And nodded.
He took out a rubber band—a yellow rubber band that could be bought cheaply in the outside world—and tied his long silver hair.
"......." I watched Sal Cheon-seong slowly tying his hair right next to him.
In terms of time, it probably took only 2 seconds.
However, I knew that the movement was the few remaining rituals and rituals for Salcheonseong.
“From now on, the battle begins.”
-Kill him!! And from above, tens of thousands of wizards rushed.
- The riders are surrounded! Not all enemy forces charged.
-Singers (歌手) sing from the back! -Yes! The formation of wizards spread out in the gray sky.
Its formation resembled a huge ring.
Hundreds of wizards formed five rings and began to sing.
A melody composed of six layers rang out.
-Five.
the mastermind said.
- Long time no see? That's a similarity chant.
'Is it a similarity spear?' - There are five spires over there.
Each constellation is sealed in the basement of the tower.
Well, the word is a seal, but actually a confinement.
Anyway, the power of the sealed constellations is embodied in a song and borrowed, but the effect is… .
[warning.
You are targeted for AoE.] [Warning.
The power of your auras is halved!] [Warning.
Your magic power is halved!] [Warning.
The power of your Mind Defense is halved!] [Warning.
Any kind of penalty you take is doubled.] The mastermind nodded.
-Well.
The effect is a bit daunting.
'crazy?' - Call it a spider's web.
So their nickname is Gummy.
It was like a group of monsters that had reigned for over a thousand years on the 50th floor of the tower.
Doesn't the power go down drastically before the fight even starts? The mastermind who tore that spider's web 150 years ago...
It must have been a monster that surpassed monsters.
"---blow.
reinforce." There was only one human who was said to have fought against that monster.
it's right in front of me “In return, I throw away my memories of the beauty of the sunset.”
Suddenly, a sword was summoned in Salcheonseong's right hand.
Ilbo (一步).
Salcheonseong swung his sword lightly as if dancing.
The air was split.
It was more like a typhoon than a sword attack.
A blue aura cut the gray sky in two.
One of the six rings in the sky was caught in a typhoon.
-Re, reorganize! Reorganize! - Retreat! Hundreds of wizards fell screaming.
There was also a wizard who could not control the broom and fell to the ground as it was.
The cone hats that the wizards spilled fluttered like black petals.
[The aggravated penalty effect is restored.] But the killing power did not stop.
A blunt voice escaped from his lips.
“Strengthening the blow.
In return, the memory of the sound of rain falling from the sky is thrown away.”
The sky was torn again.
[The power of the halved Auror is restored!] - That madman! Again! Constellation Lover! - Destroy the thumb ring! Destroy the index ring! It's hard to stay in line! -Can, receive! After all, it is reckless to fight with a sacheonseong who has been full of grass for a week! -You're a dog-like constellation lover! It's over, so shut up and charge! charge! The wizards shot fireballs.
A lump of ice was vomited.
On the ground where Salcheonseong and I stood, tree roots and weeds grew in an instant and grabbed our ankles.
The air was boiling.
The jungle grew thick.
A fog spread and covered my view.
So many magics, miracles, it was hard to even mention it, and it hit the two of us.
and.
“Strengthened Strike.”
Sal Cheonseong only held the diary in one hand and the sword in the other.
“In return, you throw away the memories of children’s smiles.”
All magic and miracles were torn.
[The power of the halved magic is restored!] [The power of the halved mental defense is restored!] [The wide-area designation is canceled.] The fireball is destroyed.
The ice cubes were split.
The roots were cut down and the weeds rotted.
A blue wind blew in the air, and the jungle disappeared.
The wizards were groaning in the world after the mist had cleared.
- Destroy the stop ring! Destroy the ring finger! Possession ring, destroy! -All the spears have been shredded, leader! - He's attacking the rings with a tight fit?! - Fuck...
! Some guy sold all the secrets...
! I stared blankly at the battle unfolding in front of my nose.
The wizards persistently attacked.
But to no avail.
Salcheonseong fought by throwing away the memories of the drink he had just ate, the memories of the street he walked on yesterday, and the small memories.
Only one hunter had to face tens of thousands of wizards.
- How are you? It's the complete opposite of how you fight, isn't it? The background man laughed bitterly.
-Salcheonseong The one he uses is also a kind of magic trick.
Zombie The demon you use is based on memory.
Memories of hunger, memories of loneliness.
He [discards memory].
A magician who is the exact opposite of me.
- Take a good look.
It's a battle of a level that you too will face someday.
Salcheonseong's fighting methods were calm but brutal.
“Forget the memories of taking a walk under a gentle sky.”
He threw away the memories he held one by one.
Salcheonseong's tone was plain and his sword was simple.
In that sense, his fight was calm.
"Abandoning the timbre of how humans bark when in pain." However, each memory that Salcheonseong threw away was never easy.
As the fight grew longer, the memories kept by Salcheonseong were opened as if a box were opened one after another.
It was a Pandora's box.
A box whose contents evaporate after opening.
-Salcheonseong lives with a week's worth of memories if it's long, and a day's worth of memories if it's short.
the mastermind said.
- Rarely have memories of more than a week.
Because he goes hunting for the constellation every week he accumulates.
A week's memory is enough to hunt the constellation.
"......." -Did you say you suffered from amnesia? Strictly speaking, you are wrong.
He's sacrificing his memory to do his job.
that.
More precisely, it was burning his own life.
[I can't watch my former master's fight with the twinkling lights.] My holy sword trembled.
[Glitter recalls.
In the past, the previous owner would never fight like that.
I don't know when or why it became like that.] Eventually, the magician's army in the tower was exhausted.
All the circular rings have long since been destroyed.
At first, they formed a strict rank and repeatedly hit and fell to the Salcheonseong, but… Has it reached its limit? The line was broken.
Wizards only sporadically participated in the attack.
- Sue, sir.
look at it It's not okay to live with grass for a week...
.
-Because it's the character we professed...
.
-If you put more magical power here, the damage is not so great! -I've been getting a lot of calls from the monitoring team since before.
receipt.
The constellations are detecting anomalies and are keeping a close eye on them.
There's a good chance we'll start the invasion by taking advantage of our weakness.
- ね! The one who seemed to be the head of the wizard gritted his teeth and chewed it.
She took off her cone hat and crumpled it with her left hand.
With immense rage in his eyes, the wizard glared at me.
- Swords...
Sword, Sword, Sword!! -Gosh.
The popularity of this body does not fade even after death.
The mastermind shrugged his shoulders.
-Look, zombie.
Even if people are too good, that's the problem.
-I know very well that you formed an alliance with Salcheonseong! Look forward to it! In order to hunt you down, our horse tower will do whatever it takes! Now it's just a power fight, but next time, definitely! The wizards looked tired.
- Whoa...
The leader, that is the typical line of a loser who runs away...
.
-quiet.
Don't touch the pick up now.
It turns into a frog and gets eaten.
- I'll definitely spit it out!! When the wizards scattered all at once and turned their horses, Salcheonseong opened his mouth.
"wait.
Ma Tap Master.”
-What! “I still have memories of 23 hours.
It is possible to destroy one of your spires by spending 22 hours to strengthen one strike.”
-… … Are you threatening us now? "Yes." Sal Cheon-seong casually affirmed.
“According to my records, you are a person who cares extremely about face.
Not being able to get rid of me by issuing a total mobilization order is a pretty painful loss.
But nothing compares to losing the spire.
Consider my threats.”
-.......
Ma Thap-ju's face was distorted like a goblin.
“For the next week, it is forbidden to attack or work against me and this man.
Attacks and operations refer to all acts and accidents that harm us.
Both indirect and direct methods are prohibited, and when subjective judgment is required, we designate the person exercising the subjectivity.
Therefore, your subjectivity will not allow it.”
-A pair of these dog-like swordsmen...
.
“Don’t threaten me again.
Accept a one-week truce.”
The Swordsman grabbed the sword.
“If you don’t accept it, I will destroy it.”
Silence subsided in the devastated wasteland.
-You...
you know that you have been named in the Matoap's Killing Department.
"Do you agree to the armistice?" At the same time as the click of his tongue, a sheet of paper was summoned before his eyes.
It was a golden contract.
After reading the contract indifferently, he took out a fountain pen and signed it.
.”
-When you kill the swordsman, don't bury it with him.
"Hey, the wizards turned their broomsticks.
Like a swarm of locusts in autumn, they covered the sky and slowly moved away.
The surroundings became quiet.
There was no one around here except for Salcheonseong and me.
Salcheonseong turned and looked at me." I have fulfilled my promise to you, stranger.”
"......" "But, from what you observed, I fell into a trap.
I won the battle, but because of that, I lost a week's worth of memories to one day's worth.
My power was greatly weakened.
This weakening of power is what It must be the number you intended.”
Sal Chun-seong described his situation in a blunt manner, as if he were talking to someone else.
Right now, that guy is talking to you on purpose to get as much time as possible.
Don't see him as a human.
He is nothing more than a weapon that moves strictly according to what he has entered.
'Yes.' I grabbed the holy sword.
'I know.' And I stared at the sacheonseong.
"Yes.
I will bring you down.”
“On the other hand, I cannot attack you as promised.
You can only dodge or block your attacks.
...it's a dangerous situation.
If you are a swordsman himself or a former swordsman, as Ma Thap-ju said, it would be particularly dangerous.”
“My name is King.
She is the minor lord of the Magyo, and the wife of the Duke of Ivancia.”
Sal Cheonseong opened his diary and wrote the letters.
I will write my name on it.
Sal Cheonseong moved the fountain pen and asked me a question.
“What is magic?”
“A sword that answers every scream.”
“What is a Principal?”
“It is the first sword to be swung.”
“What is the Four Kings?”
I raised the red auror.
“The name of the one who will take you away.”
This time I asked.
“Salence.
Do you keep your hungry memories?”
“It is written in the diary.
But if I limit myself to my intuition memory, there is none.
I have no memory of hunger." I nodded.
"That will be your defeat." And then, I ran.128.
