Chapter 33

32

“There is no end.”

Ha Yu-rak was about to lose his mind at the swarm of underwater monsters that came like crazy.

Even her S-class, she only retreated in front of the overwhelming quantity.

“Those eels are the problem.”

As long as you don’t kill the eel, the monster doesn’t die.

However, killing the eel was not easy.

Even if they were charred, they didn’t die.

Of course, if it burns with more fire, she will die even if she has strong flame resistance, but her power will be consumed quickly too.

How does this world exist?

At this level, you will be able to receive an S-grade portal judgement.

And S-class portals cannot be attacked by S-class hunters alone.

Rather, if a single monster was incredibly strong, she would have found a way.

‘Rather, it is far more dangerous than the S-class portals that have appeared before.’

It is true that she is dangerous one by one, but she was not very intimidating to Ha Yu-Rak.

However, it is a different story when there are so many numbers that cannot be counted.

With her wide range of skills, she couldn’t evaporate all of the sea, so it was impossible for her to erase that many monsters.

‘There must be a way.’

A perfect analysis of portals has not been done, but usually, a ‘door’ has an entrance and an exit.

Ha Yurak condensed the red flames on her hands and threw them at the monsters jumping like flying fish.

A huge flame exploded, and a hot wind swept the sea.

Park Hyunsoo looked at the talking skeleton and his brain stopped for about 3 seconds.

the skeleton says

Skeletons are human bones that appear when a corpse completely rots.

Human bones cannot speak.

Therefore, skeletons cannot speak.

But the skeleton in front of him speaks.

[Necromancer?]

It was Chungyeong who spoke first.

At the teacher’s words, Park Hyunsoo looked at him.

And, the eyes of the skeleton also headed there.

-It’s a strange thing. Do you rule your soul?

“Hey, can you see?!”

[Can you see the main seat?]

-Every time you see it.

said the skeleton, cracking his jawbone.

I felt goosebumps because the action seemed to make me laugh.

As Park Hyunsoo grimaced, the skeleton smirked.

-Is the luggage ugly?

“Well, it’s not… … .”

– Jim knows. that you are ugly

[So who are you? If you see yourself as a burden, would you be the king of this place?]

Chungyeong said to the skeleton looking straight at him.

The skeleton seemed to be in thought, and he didn’t say anything.

After a moment of silence, the skeleton slowly opened its mouth.

– I don’t know. It seems like it was, but I was caught up in eons of oblivion, and only the tone of my voice remained, and all my memories were like a blurry watercolor painting.

[The oblivion of eternity.]

“You mean you don’t even know who you are?”

-Unfortunately.

“Then another question. Why did you appear before us? The hostility is… … I don’t think there is.”

Park Hyunsoo made an ambiguous expression as he looked at the skeleton, unable to tell whether it was an enemy or not.

[Twitter. pathetic guy. There’s nothing more foolish than asking someone for hostility. How can there be no progress?]

“Well, then what?”

[done. Ugly.]

Park Hyunsoo flinched at Chungyeong’s shout.

The skeleton saw it and burst out laughing.- Heh heh. Was it a sibling relationship?

[That’s not for you to know. First of all, I want to ask you a few questions since you seem to be kind to us.]

– You’re doing too much. Do you want a one-sided relationship? Well, it’s not bad. If it’s a chat after a long time, you are always welcome. Conversation with the living. It’s been a long time. Oh, is it a little too much to say that you are alive?

The skeleton looked at Chungyeong and shed a sneer.

Chungyeong frowned as he spoke, waving his hand as if the skeleton was a joke.

– Follow me. I will invite you to my palace.

If it was a royal palace, it seemed to be referring to an old castle that stretched high in the center.

Park Hyunsoo whispered softly to Chungyeong.

“Are you okay with following me?”

[Those who have a lot of secrets will be fine.]

Chungyeong wasn’t sure, either, but the skeleton didn’t feel the evil energy characteristic of necromancy.

He may not have felt it because he has already transcended his life and death, but Chungyeong was somewhat certain that his senses would be correct.

Park Hyunsoo nodded and followed the skeleton.

* * *

The old castle seen from up close was a horse castle, and it was more horribly broken than it was from a distance.

The interior was so barren that the pillars supporting the ceiling had collapsed and were rolling on the floor.

It had been neglected for at least 100 years.

– Sit down.

The skeleton sat down in its place.

Even if there was a lot of moss, vines, and dust, the throne was a throne, so it was easy to know that this place was a real castle.

Park Hyunsoo perched on the collapsed pole pointed to by the skeleton.

There was a lot of dust, but he wasn’t the type to care about that.

It was Chungyeong who opened up my luck first.

[Why is this place like this?]

-Thanks to the door of light you entered.

Without having to ask, I could tell that the door of light was referring to a portal.

“This is also a portal. So, is it because of the Light Gate?”

-Is it called a portal in your world?

“The name doesn’t really matter.”

– That’s right. That’s right. Jim’s world was destroyed because it couldn’t handle the monsters pouring out from the Light’s Gate.

The skeleton had lost many memories in the swamp of oblivion over the years, but that day, even though he wanted to forget it, he could not forget it.

– It was a huge swarm of monsters. The gates of light opened in all directions, vomiting monsters with the force to destroy the world. Outside or inside the castle, whatever happens.

I didn’t even know how many years ago.

People just died in droves, towns and villages all disappeared, and the five central countries perished.

It was hell.

The survivors struggled to survive, but the Gate of Light woke up in mid-air enough to cover the world as if it had no intention of leaving a single life behind.

– It was only half a year. Until the world is destroyed.

The skeleton had no expression, but his self-helpful voice was expressing his emotions.

– It was terrible. okay. It wasn’t terrible.

[But how do you live that way?]

Regardless of how the skeleton felt, Chungyeong asked my questions.

And the skeleton answers.

– Jim doesn’t even know why he became like this. It was just that, after the world was destroyed, they lived eternal life in this way.

“How long have you been living in that state… … don’t you know?”

– Heh heh. They counted until 271, but not beyond that.

271 years.

He spent a long time alone here in solitude.



Park Hyunsoo took his breath away just imagining it.

Chungyeong, who lived more than five times as much as Park Hyunsoo, was even speechless at the shame.

-Hmm. I feel like at least ten times more time has passed since then.

The two priests could not stop their eyes widening at the word tenfold.

If the skeleton’s words are true, he has lived alone here for over 2,000 years.

The year 271 is far away, but 2000 years is the replacement.

Park Hyunsoo couldn’t say anything.

said the skeleton.

-So, there is something I want to ask you guys.

“Please?”

– Let me kill you.

Skeletons who have lived as a human spirit for a long time.

– Please.

I asked the people I met less than an hour to die.

* * *

At the not-so-funny request, Park Hyunsoo had no choice but to frown.

On the other hand, Chungyeong looked at the skeleton with a blank look.

[Can’t you sleep?]

– Unfortunately, he played.

Have you not tried suicide after enduring a great period of time?

It just failed several times.

Even if I break it, and break it again, it returns to its original state.

If there was any pain, I would feel alive.

– He didn’t even feel sick.

[Then, even if we kill you, won’t we regenerate?]

-It could be, but now, Jim’s hope is you. Emotions are worn out and I can no longer express my emotions, but when Jim first felt you step into this world, he felt an unbearable ecstasy.

He was a hope that might put an end to his life.

I rolled my immobile bones and walked hard in front of them.

He wanted to run with all his might, but he couldn’t because it had not been in operation for hundreds of years.

– I was worried about what would happen if there was a difference. Jim’s pace is slow, if we never met and if you left, Jim would be really… … .

The words behind it could not be expressed in words of despair.

Park Hyunsoo was moved to tears as he felt the emotion in those words.

How does it feel to have lived alone for so many years?

I can’t even guess, and it was the same with Chungyeong.

If there is something different.

[Then make a deal.]

Chungyeong was too seasoned to be swayed by emotions.

-transaction?

[This guy and this guy will make what you want the most. Before that, I want you to show us how to get out of this world.]

“Ah.”

Preoccupied with the desperate appeal, Park Hyunsoo let out a brief sigh of relief at his teacher’s words.

[If something comes, there must be something going, right?]

– Huh. Is this a deal I’m risking my death on?

[We are locked up here. Well, if you want to find a way, there’s nothing you can’t find.]

It will take quite a long time to do that.

Above all, Chungyeong thought that the skeleton in front of his eyes was the only clue he could escape from here.

[How are you?]

-If you fail to kill Jim, aren’t you the only one hurting?

[On the other hand, if the method you said is false, we will lose money.]

– It must be a time when we need to trust each other.

[The trust that can only go back and forth must be based on the premise that he knows how to escape.]

– Kkeuk. It’s a fun situation.

The skeleton smiled low and looked at the two in turn.

– I don’t know how to escape.

“Yes?”

Chungyeong narrowed her forehead.

-However. I don’t know if I’ll ever know.

[What does that mean?]

– Follow me. I have a place I want to take you.

The skeleton rose from the throne and turned.

-Probably, there’s something you want.

Jaehyuk Choi was wandering outside the forest without following the wall.

His original purpose was to find a way inside the castle, but he was forced to change his route.

‘It’s near here.’

He took out the bracelet hidden inside the gauntlet that wrapped around the hawk.

He is an item that no one has seen.

It was a bracelet that was not registered with the Portal Countermeasures Committee.Of course, the grade is unknown, but I can guess by myself that it had at least an A-grade ability.

And that power was radiating through the purple jewel embedded in the bracelet.

‘It’s great power. What is it?’

Jaehyuk Choi walked along the light emanating from the jewel.

And he stopped without taking a few steps.

There was a large rock lying there.

“rock?”

Unknown characters were randomly engraved on the huge rock.

Of course, it was not the language of the earth.

The light is pointing inside the rock.

“I have to break this down.”

Jaehyuk Choi was equipped with items suitable for breaking rocks.

Choi Jae-hyuk’s power began to gather in the gauntlet ‘Rock Crushing’.

There are three abilities in ‘Rock Crushing’.

One is that unlike the heavy form, there is no weight.

second is.

[Rock Crushing – Smash]

It is capable of generating a shock wave that is five times the force absorbed.

Kwaang!!!

A large boulder was lightly crushed as if crushed hardened sugar.

Choi Jae-hyuk saw a black marble half protruding inside.

It was ‘death’.

“I have a question.”

“what?”

Knight responded with an annoying voice to the woman’s call.

“Why did you bring ‘Nagron Citadel’ to overlap?”

“Are you curious about that?”

“Yes. No matter how you think about it, the owner there is too dangerous.”

“Any risk is only a loser.”

“A loser with incredibly sharp fangs.”

Knight looked at her woman with a dissatisfied look at her.

But she didn’t bother to reproach.

Her words were understandable enough.

Nagron Citadel.

A long time ago, the only place in the world that was destroyed by Portal Impact.

And a place ruled by a mighty mage king.

“Because it is.”

“Yes?”

“Because he’s a loser with incredibly sharp fangs, I’ve included it in the superimposed world.”

“… … I don’t understand.”

“Now now.”

Defeat an enemy with another enemy.

And he directly subdues the relatively weak enemy.

Then, plan B is successfully realized.

“Isn’t it simple?”

“There are too many variables. The mage king… … .”

“There will be no variables.”

Knight smiled confidently.

“Because that terrifying, arrogant, mighty monster will eventually succumb to my scheming and annihilate with the enemy. Just like when he made the wrong choice out of greed a long time ago.”

Nagron Citadel was not destroyed by Portal Impact.

Knight saw the lake churning at the bottom.

There, a skeleton dressed in old cloth and a young man were heading somewhere.

“Magic King Entropy, and Park Hyunsoo who disrupted Plan A. Both will disappear from here.”

The two variables will move like puppets in his hands and will never escape annihilation.

A woman saw such a night.

She remembered who came in with Park Hyunsoo, but she didn’t dare to get it out of her mouth.

She just looked into the lake with her ominousness about ‘Isn’t arrogant a knight’ in her arms.
