Regress and Eat

I continued to follow the direction the corpse led me.

The monsters in the middle were dealt with appropriately.

“Gaaaaaah!”

Pierce the Orc's milk and ask the Magician.

“What, you don't drink blood? ”

In her previous life, Randy regularly fed her monster blood.

Keeping it in your hands, feeding on the blood of living creatures.

These are the conditions for keeping the identity sealed by the sword awake and special abilities of the sword intact.

‘I don't need it yet. The last time I drank human blood, I lost my appetite. ’

It was rare for Randy to feed on human blood, whether it was in his possession or in mine.

“If you don't want to. What direction?"

‘Maintain this course. ’

Then let's go through the ruins of a city full of monsters with all the owners gone.

I saw a dense forest in front of my eyes.

“Aha, there you are. ”

The corpse grumbles.

‘· · Damn, I'm getting stronger. ’

“It means you found it correctly. ”

I crossed the forest line with my sword.

A peculiar kind of tree that was not seen on the earth went through the dense forest as the sword guided it.

As I was walking through the distance as much as possible, I noticed something had changed in a moment.

“Those bastards are gone. ”

So far, every few steps were different from the trend of rushing one by one.

No one appears, and there are no "living monsters" within the scope of the fluoroscope that have not yet been reached.

“You're not going anywhere in these woods? ”

‘It seems that there has already been some anger in this area. Those who are under pressure won't be able to get through. ’

Is that it?

I simply nodded, unable to feel the sacred energy that was felt by the sword at all.

In a forest with no energy of life, the native inhabitants disappeared and the monsters roamed around gave it a different feeling.

Scatter with slightly different grains.

There is not even a small creature that constitutes the dungeon ecosystem.

“I'm starting to see one by one. ”

What stood out was a monster corpse left on the ground.

A flying lizard with a special ability to disguise itself according to its surroundings.

The corpse seems curious.

"What? Why is he dead in the woods? It's not a species that lives here. ’

Trees intertwine with each other in an environment that is uncomfortable to fly around and hunt. So he prefers open spaces over forests, and digs tunnels instead of nesting in trees.

A species that cannot walk on its feet in these deep forests.

If you did not come in yourself, there is only one answer.

“Hunted and killed in the ruins outside, then dragged the body here on purpose and dumped it. The men who occupied and hunted here. ”

‘Why? ’

But the sword soon understood the meaning of my words.

‘Ah, that's what it's for. Must have something to do with that nasty energy deep down there. ’

“Precisely.”

The deeper you go, the more different kinds of monster carcasses appear everywhere.

There are signs of combat in the ruins outside, but the corpses are the opposite.

There are no signs of a struggle in these woods, but only corpses.

Parts of the body were cut, mounted, grinded, crushed, and · · · death varied, but there was a pattern in it.

‘They are all half buried in the ground. ’

As you pass by, you look like you've been buried halfway through a mossy ground.

It may be considered a natural phenomenon due to rain and wind, but · ·.

“Look, there's been some anger in the mummy. Like a monster drained of your blood. ”

Bodies left in the high humidity forest are usually decomposed, but those laws have not been applied here.

It was all shaved and turned into a thin bark.

In addition, most of the things that can be recognized by 'many parts’ remained in the shape of the arm and leg were broken in a strange shape.

It is unlikely that the Martyr Guild would have played a prank on the corpse because of a strange taste.

This forest itself is exerting some kind of power.

Stop it! I can't do this anymore! ’

After a short walk, the corpse shoots out a desperate psychopath.

I nodded.

“Yes, we're right in front of you. ”

You pause for a moment and float the carcass in the air with your mind.

We can bring it right back into your hands.

I lock it up like that and then go on my own. Carrying an ordinary sword instead of a sword.

And I finally stopped in front of him.

‘So this is it.’

It was a small pond in the middle of the forest that was exposed without context.

It is not formed naturally.

Wherever I looked, the stone that shined silver gray gave a strange glow. As the sun barely falls a single beam through the thick tree shadow, the stone reflects and spreads the glorious powder of light.

The hole depth of the pond was bigger than my height, but the water that filled it was just a shallow handful on the floor.

And there was something more eye-catching than this collateral element.

‘That's not so bad. ’

It was a statue located at 12 o'clock in the pond that decorated the damage of the artificial trail.

Its overall shape was like a giant furry spider, but its symmetrically extending legs were only seven, as opposed to normal spiders.

At the end of the long neck, the face corresponded to six tentacles that were swung in all directions like starfish instead of the snout.

I think of its name in my head.

"Igrass-Shaw."

Great beings, called by various titles and titles, depending on the dimensions.

There are many names.

A chanter of forgotten spells.

The First Wizard.

The ancestor of all traitors.

On the other hand, according to the way a sword represents great men, it will be expressed as follows:

‘Magic Controller. ’

If only the statue of the cow that High Priest Bo 'Tark considered a treasure was a fake without a handful of divine powers.

That's a real democracy.

‘Pride at the pinnacle of all magic. ’

The seven legs are said to refer to the magic of the seven attributes.

There was only a blunt tear on the right and eighth leg of the front.

If there were legs out there, there would be eight symmetries on both sides.

It must not have been deliberately extracted because it had 7 magical properties, and it was a strange shape.

‘This is not the time. ’

I took my mind off things and took the card out of my arms.

According to the M.E. 's reaction, it was almost definitive, but it needed to be verified.

[Fire Mastery (Rank: S)]

Rank card received as dungeon reward.

Approaching the pond and stepping on the edge stone, check that no system messages come to mind.

When I came in contact with an item, it was not as described.

‘This reaction is also · · · ·. ’

I threw the card into the pond without delay.

The card is submerged in a shallow handful of water on the floor.

Let's do it.

Whoops!

The water that was transparent suddenly turned black like food.

But wait a minute.

All black energy is drawn into the card.

After a while, I saw the water that had returned as clear and clear as the first time I saw it and the card that was submerged in it.

Shhh!

As I snap my fingers, my mind starts to pound and pull the card out.

Check the card that has come back into your hand.

[Fire Mastery (Rank: SS)]

A skill card that was clearly an S rank has been upgraded to an SS rank.

SS class magic cards are a rare item that has very few properties even in a horse tower.

‘Definitely.’

I smiled satisfactorily.

Looking back, you can see the pond's sleep has fallen slightly.

In the future, with the accumulation of human knowledge, that liquid will be called Holy Water lost circulation.

‘This is the secret that the Martha Guild used to produce Magic Skill Cards of Class S or higher. ’

A pond that only responds to magic skill cards.

When you enter Class S, you will be promoted to Class SS, which is even more beneficial. However, the chance of getting a Class S Magic Card as a reward without [Successor's Eye] will converge at 0. Therefore, what they mainly upgraded was Class A cards.

Of course, putting the promoted card back in will not repeat the miracle.

In addition, the pond did not perform this miracle without any cost.

Every time you upgrade a card, your sleep will decrease and you will have to pay a handsome price to replenish the water.

‘The more dead monsters you put near the pond, the less sleep you get. ’

It had to be fresh, even less than a day after it died.

Igras-Show is a god with a very tricky taste.

‘I see your slumber is shallow and you're about to start hunting again for a long time. At this time of year, I was very good at bringing Arthur back to Korea. It was a good time.'

I came here to rob this whole pond, of course.

Okay, next question.

How will you move it?

‘Even the towers are not fools. I've tried everything like this. ’

I was hesitant that the effect might change at the moment I touched it, but I could no longer ignore it from Arthur Clifford's point of view until it became 'very unstable.’

I tried to remove the entire land around the pond from the forest by mobilizing guild members, but the results seemed terrible.

The moment you tried to move the stone that made up the pond from its original position.

Suddenly, a black flame started burning around the guild member's body.

‘I tried to display it, but it didn't work, of course. It's not magic. It's a sacred event. ’

The horror of the black flame caused by the pond is that it not only never goes out, but it also gives · · incomplete eternal life a gift to the target wrapped in fire.

Arthur is worse than the SS rank hunter, who was screaming like his soul was about to be torn out with a fire all over his body.

But none of the attacks worked like a lie, and the SS rank Hunter survived while roaring in agony and twisting and glowing.

Over the next few years, he did not eat or drink, of course, but nonetheless did not die.

A man cursed for survival.

The terrible life has continued to this day, and he is still suffering from unfinished combustion as a medium that does not burn in the basement of the headquarters of the tower.

‘But.'

I breathed Mana into the drawn sword instead.

[Artha's Sword!]

Whew!

The purple sword burns on the blade.

I wielded my sword while maintaining a steady course.

Shortly after, the statue of Igras-Sho and the pool surrounded by a circular metal trail that I made like a cage.

This is due to the skill trait that remains intact even after the sword is sprayed.

After forming a siege like that.

Zec!

Raise your sword.

Shhh!

I put it down.

Keep up with that move!

Pot!

Papa Papa Pot!

The day of purple black swept through the pond and dug the ground around it.

What I was trying to do was connect that penetrating blade to the center of the pond, into the basement, and dig up the entire structure.

But one moment of that attempt.

Glug-ug-ug!

The pond reacted immediately.

It wrapped around me and a black flame began to burn.

I was not embarrassed by the black turbulence that obscured my vision and the choking heat.

I was already prepared.

‘Cause it wasn't magic, of course it wasn't dispelled. ’

That doesn't mean there's no way to stop it.

I strengthened the membranes of the blue Mana that were aggregated throughout my body.

The Black Flame summoned by the Furious Pond will not penetrate this shield and pass over it.

‘This is how the guild at the beginning survived. ’

However, it did not last long.

Mana ran out on the way.

Whereas.

-\ tActive Mana: 163,000 (+70,500)/92,500

-\ tPotential Mana: 171,100

I compared the speed at which Black Flame sheds my active Mana to the speed at which it digs into the ground.

If you don't feel right about the timing, you should give up and pull out another item to put out this flame.

Then the damage was substantial.

But · · ·.

Okay, we can do it! ’

After I made my decision, I was tough.

The user continues to stab a bundle of swords deep underground, without being overwhelmed by flames blazing above the shield.

Then I started to see the reaction.

Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Suddenly, the earth shook like crazy and the ground shook like waves.

At the center of the wobble was a stone pond.

In a minute.

Yuck! Yuck!

A terrifying scream echoes through the forest.

I felt instinctively nervous throughout my body.

Show your true colors! ’

The forest floor was full of moss.

Kwajic!

Cough!

A large, dark tentacle rises from the ground surrounding the circular pond, vomiting a pile of dirt.

The black flesh revealing its appearance twists in agony.

‘The prediction was correct. ’

It's hard to imagine from the outside, but the pond is not an item, it's part of a living creature.

The reason why [successor's eye] did not react to contact.

The Black Tentacle reaches underground through the forest to absorb the remains of monsters and, in return, fill the water in the pond.

Words calling such creatures using the power of God · ·.

‘Legendary Father' 29560;! ’

The rattling black tentacles, with the pond in the middle, were cut off and swept away by my sword and vomited out a foul-smelling fluid.

I poured an unspoiled mesh of swords onto the floor.

And after a while.

Yuck, yuck, yuck!

A tentacle buried in the ground reveals itself completely to the ground.

I quickly bind it to a net made of black.

The tentacles rumbled, the pond flipped over, and all the holy water in it spilled, but it was only when the water refilled.

“All right, we got him! ”

The moment the Legendary Beast was completely overwhelmed, all the black flames around my body disappeared as well.

You stare at him writhing in a purple flashing net.

I had only heard of it in my previous life, but it was the first time I had been put into practice.

The first time anyone on Earth ever captured a Demibeast.

“Now, let's move this. ”

According to the plan, this dungeon here will not close immediately.

Instead, the only place to remove this new apprentice was a separate dungeon I had prepared.

A gray soil planted with Nate and Hibiki.

I thought of the coordinates leading there and breathed Mana into the door of hope.
