Episode 234 reunion (3)
dark passage.
William, leaning on a single light stone, walked at a fast pace.
William’s feelings could be seen in his gait.
‘at las!’
It was a few days ago that I threw away my pride and asked Harold for help.
As I waited anxiously day after day, I received a call from Harold a few hours ago.
‘I got the answer.’
‘As expected, Harold! Thank you for your hard work.’
‘That’s enough to say hello. ‘Because I wasn’t the one who asked for the answer.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Something like that happened. Rather… ‘I have a favor to ask of you.’
‘What is it? That request.’
‘I’m planning to write a paper on this issue. ‘Is that okay?’
‘Well, I just need to find an answer. Harold found the full transplant anyway, so do whatever you want. however… ‘Are you sure about the answer?’
‘I’m sure. ‘I’ve been verifying for several days.’
I was so nervous when I received the paper with the answers written on it from Harold.
I had to break into a cold sweat trying to hide my shaking hands.
After receiving the note, William headed straight to the underground maze without further delay.
After barely calming his pounding heart and moving through the passage, William was able to face the iron door again.
Last time, I reached the iron gate right in front of me and couldn’t get over it.
“Whoa… … .”
Taking a deep breath, he unfolded the paper Harold had given him and placed his hand on the mana sensor.
“please… please… … .”
Have you ever been this desperate in your life?
William prayed that the answer Harold had found was the real answer.
Suk- Suk-.
The answer is written word by word like that.
Finally, all the letters were written into the mana sensor.
Grumble-.
The iron gate began to vibrate.
Clap-.
A shout came out of William’s mouth as he saw the iron door slowly opening.
“done!”
William, clenching his fists, walked slowly through the open door.
Soon, beyond the iron gate, the place he had longed for was reflected, and a small box inside caught his eye.
When William discovered this, his gait became faster, and the moment he saw the letters written on the box, joy filled his eyes.
“It was true… Grand Meister Victor’s legacy!”
William opened the box with trembling hands.
William’s face lit up with excitement as various research books were taken out one by one from the box, and he was thrilled when he finally got Victor’s prosthetic leg in his hands.
“iced coffee… … .”
Stories about grand meisters who lived with disabilities their entire lives were very famous.
Therefore, their prosthetic legs, eyes, arms, and wings were items that symbolized the Grand Meister.
A compilation of the research that grand meisters have devoted their entire lives to.
These are the parts that form the basis of the modern Transcendence Period and a masterpiece that no meister can imitate.
The Grand Meister’s legacy came into his own hands.
“Hehe… Hehehe!”
Even though I tried to hold back, laughter kept coming out.
William’s laughter soon turned into laughter.
“It’s mine! Victor’s legacy is mine! Hahaha!”
All the hardships of the past were washed away with this one reward.
William burst out laughing and enjoyed himself for a while, then swept up the scattered items into his subspace pocket.
It didn’t take long for all of Victor’s inheritance to disappear into William’s pocket.
After that, William left without any regrets.
The important contents were leaked and only the empty box remained, standing there forlornly.
A few days after that.
It was a late night when the moon wasn’t even up.
William, covered in a robe, left the quiet cityscape.
The place he headed was a shabby farmhouse located on the outskirts of Cyron.
After a while, William looked around and entered the farmhouse.
There was one man inside.
“Are you here?”
A shabby-dressed farmer who was lighting a fire in the fireplace greeted William.
A man with dark, gorgeous blonde hair.
Unlike the shabby clothes, the exposed skin was very clean.
And the farmer’s voice.
It must have belonged to the person who had been talking with William on the communication table earlier.
William, who lifted the hood of his robe, looked at the man and frowned.

“… Why does it look like that?”
The farmer smiled at William’s question.
“Isn’t it weirder to be wearing luxurious clothes in a place like this? So I decorated it in my own way.”
“If you’re going to do that, at least erase the smell of perfume on your body.”
Contrary to his shabby appearance, he had a strong scent of luxurious perfume.
The man lightly scratched his cheek at William’s point.
“Oh, I didn’t think of that. Be careful next time. Hehehe.”
Although he said that, the man’s voice was full of playfulness.
Not only was this meeting special, but he was not someone who would easily come to the forefront anyway.
I only came forward today because of William’s request.
Nothing like this will happen in the future.
The man asked with a smile.
“If you suddenly call me out like this, it will be quite difficult for us here as well. “Today was special because you were looking for it so desperately.”
“I have never looked for it desperately.”
“Well, whatever… “I guess calling me means that you got some results, right?”
William nodded at this.
“found.”
“… … ?!”
Surprise and excitement spread across the man’s face.
The playfulness disappeared from the face of the man who had always maintained a playful attitude.
“… “Really?”
“Do you think I’m going to joke with you about this?”
“then… “What about the items?”
William took out a book from his arms and threw it at the man.
It was one of Victor’s legacies that William found in the underground labyrinth.
The man who took the book and examined it slightly tilted his head.
“This is all?”
“No way. “That’s just a taste.”
The blond man frowned at those words and asked in a crooked tone.
“What are we doing?”
“What should I trust and hand it all over to you?”
“Oh my, how sad? Still, I thought we had become quite trusting.”
“You are sorely mistaken. “Aren’t we just joining hands for our own benefit anyway?”
“Is there any other relationship as clear as that?”
“A relationship in which each party joins hands for their own benefit is, in other words, a relationship in which they can turn their backs at any time as long as they gain the benefit.”
William and the man glared at each other.
A battle of intangible energy continued between the two, and it was the blonde man who raised his hand first.
“Okay, okay.”
“I will hand over the goods if you keep your promise. Oh, you can take that.”
William pointed at the book in the man’s hand.
“Because you too will have to check the authenticity of the item.”
“I don’t know what I can learn from this, but since they said they would give it to me, I’ll leave it in.”
The man who put the book in his arms said again with a smile on his face.
“And you know, in order for this to move… Don’t forget that you have to make the first move. “Because our promise also happens after that.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
William also smiled back at the blonde man’s smile towards him.
“It will start here soon.”
William’s smile was full of life.
Afterwards, the two briefly exchanged various stories and ended their secret meeting.
When both people return to their respective places, dreaming of a happy future.
They didn’t know.
The fact that someone who should never be involved in what was thought to be a secret meeting between two people was present.
* * *
The good will be good, but the good will not be good.
This means that good people do not come, and those who have already come do not have good intentions.
And these were words that well expressed the situation that Douglas and his group were experiencing.
“… “What kind of people are they?”
There is about a month left to go to Siron.
After an exhausting schedule, Douglas and his group were sleeping out that day as usual.
When they noticed something strange and quickly got up from their seats, monsters wearing black robes had already surrounded them on all sides.
Uninvited guests showed up with their faces covered, so how could they have good intentions?
Douglas, Erica, and Floria immediately took a defensive stance.
As the three of them were getting ready with slightly nervous faces, one person came out from among the monsters.
He lowered his head in the direction of Douglas and his group.
“It is an honor to meet these three renowned Grand Meisters.”
The Grand Meisters’ complexions hardened as they were greeted by a monster who appeared to be the leader.
‘These guys… ‘They weren’t just robbers.’
‘They’re exactly after us!’
‘How on earth?!’
Their journey was something that only a few people knew about.
It was also a secret that was only shared with trusted people.
However, those who appeared out of nowhere recognized them correctly.
Moreover, the fact that they were surrounded before they could even prepare meant that they were already preparing in this area.
The three Grand Meisters were agitated, but did not show it.
Douglas asked again with a smile on his face.
“Hehe, who are you to come to us in such a disguise at night?”
“I’m here to take you away.”
“Us? this… What should I do with this? “We are so shy that we don’t follow people whose faces we don’t know.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. “We will take care of you comfortably.”
“her… “Is it okay for young people to ignore the opinions of old people so much?”
Douglas grumbled, but the monster kept his mouth shut, as if he would not talk any more.
Douglas clicked his tongue at this.
“Tsk. “Look, let me give you some advice.”
“… … .”
“If you ignore him as an old man who doesn’t have much time left to live, you will get seriously hurt.”
This was Douglas, who had traveled the continent over the years.
There was no way he didn’t have the means to protect himself.
No matter how old you are today, you cannot ignore your years of experience.
And this was the same for Floria and Erica.
It was said that the nickname Grand Meister did not simply arise.
And the monster smiled at Douglas’ warning.
“Thank you for the advice, but… How can we ignore the great Grand Meisters? “We did our best to prepare, so you won’t be disappointed.”
“is it?”
Douglas’ smile, which had been smiling until then, disappeared.
and.
“Then let me check somewhere.”
Clap-.
Douglas’s prosthetic hand made a bizarre sound and twisted, then changed shape in an instant.
If Lois had seen that, she would have screamed.
‘It’s a Vulcan gun!’
Douglas’ prosthetic hand transformed into the form of a small Vulcan cannon.
Soon the front rotating plate started spinning and spewed out brown chunks.
Toottoottoot-.
A small lump of energy pouring out in an instant.
That became a signal.
“Sangae!”
With a short command, the monsters dispersed at high speed.
Some of them were hit directly by the small brown spheres and rolled around on the floor.
Meanwhile, Floria, who was behind Douglas, raised her mana stick, and a stream of blue water flowed around her.
Sigh-.
The long, thin stream of water struck the monsters like a whip.
Douglas’ Vulcan cannon fire continued on the fallen monsters.
Tteodada-.
And while Douglas and Floria were active, Erica was not idle either.
“bout!”
With a short burst of energy, Erica’s new model pulled out its wings and flew into the sky.
Hung-.
Erica’s new model, which had soared high, was driven down by a strong wind and hit the ground.
Erica stops at a height barely above the ground and sweeps across the ground.
The monsters that hit her metal wings fell down one after another.
The situation seemed to be favorable to the Grand Meisters, but Floria’s stern face showed no signs of loosening.
‘These people… ‘No blows!’
At first glance, it looked like they were being pushed back mercilessly, but the monsters didn’t actually suffer much damage.
Aren’t those who fell down right now getting up from their seats?
Then, Floria caught a glimpse of the inside of the monster’s robe.
‘That?!’
Dark red glossy armor.
Floria, realizing its identity, shouted.
“Hangma Gap!”
An object that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world and was thought to never be seen again.
It was natural that Floria recognized this.
No, it wasn’t just her.
Douglas and Erica also recognized the anti-horse armor.
After all, they were the ones who created and studied it.
‘How can that be?!’
Anti-barding had high mana resistance, but the research was abandoned due to the problem that it was impossible to improve efficiency.
The worst efficiency is that it costs only 30 minutes of anti-magic power by spending the price of a level 3 transcendental machine.
However, it has high resistance that can overcome even tier 2 attribute powers for 30 minutes.
And at this moment, the appearance of discarded anti-horse armor… … .
‘These people… ‘They are related to the tower!’
The only place where you could obtain anti-horse armor, which was already a discarded research object, was the Tower of Desire, where it was discarded.
‘Who the hell?!’
While Floria was confused, the monsters who had been pushed back began to counterattack.
And the first sacrifice was Erica.
“Throw it!”
Following the leader’s orders, the monsters threw black spheres at Erica.
“joy! “This is it!”
Erica tried to throw herself away when she saw a sphere flying above her head.
At that moment, the black sphere exploded.
pop-.
Something came out of the black sphere along with thick smoke and hit Erica.
“town!”
What hit Erica was none other than a net.
And the net was anything but ordinary.
Parts side-.
The net created an electric current as soon as it covered Erica.
“Aaaah!”
Erika screamed as a lightning bolt went through her body and fell to the ground.
“Bird head!”
“Erica!”
Douglas and Floria shouted in surprise, but they had no power to help Erica.
“You guys!”
“bout!”
When Erica was neutralized, the monsters threw black spheres at the two people one after another.
Pop-pop-pop-.
Seeing Erica’s situation, the two desperately tried to escape, but it was not enough to avoid the nets that attacked them one after another.
Parts side -.
“Sigh!”
“evil!”
In the end, even Douglas and Floria ended up trapped in the net and rolling around on the floor.
The leader of the monsters saw this and muttered.
“Situation over. Erase any traces around you and begin preparations for withdrawal.”
At the leader’s command, several monsters quickly dispersed, and those who remained began to gather the three Grand Meisters wrapped in a net together.
“Hey, you bastards!”
Erica tried to protest by fluttering her wings, but each time, an electric current was generated from the net, knocking her to the ground again.
Eventually, Erica was dragged to where Douglas and Floria were.
She fell flat on the floor and gritted her teeth as she looked at the monsters surrounding her.
“What happened? How can these guys have anti-horse armor?!”
“I guess… “I think there’s a traitor inside the tower.”
“Nonsense!”
“Otherwise, there’s no way they would have discarded anti-horse armor.”
“I got information that we’re going to pass by here…” What those guys knew was also their doing… Cough!”
“are you okay. Douglas?!”
“… “Gwae, it’s okay.”
I answered that, but Douglas’ face didn’t look very good.
It was too much for him because he had already fought a fierce battle with an old body.
When Floria saw Douglas like that, determination appeared on her face.
She moved her body slightly and stretched out her hand towards Erica.
Each time, a tiny electric current flowed from the net, causing Floria’s muscles to stiffen.
However, Floria succeeded in reaching out to Erica.
“Huh… … .”
She took a deep breath and muttered softly.
“… “Erica.”
Erica’s eyes turn to the voice calling her.
“You only get one chance.”
Those words became a signal.
Soon, a green stem stretched out from one of Floria’s hands and touched the net covering Erica.
“now! “Cut it out!”
After receiving Floria’s signal, Erica’s wings spread wide.
As a result, a strong current arose in the net, but the current flowed through the blue energy to Floria, not Erica.
“Ahh!”
Floria was in pain from the strong electric current and fainted.
Meanwhile, Erica’s blade-like wings tore the net.
At the same time, Erica’s new model soared into the sky.
It all happened in an instant.
The monsters were unable to react because they thought they had achieved their goal and took advantage of a brief moment of distraction.
“You bastards!”
Erica, who was in the sky, was about to quickly descend to save her colleagues.
“Don’t come! Go higher!”
Douglas’s gravelly voice rang loudly.
“Douglas!”
“I’m telling you not to come!”
The reason why Floria sacrificed herself to free Erica.
Douglas recognized it immediately.
“Go to Cyron immediately! If the goal of the traitor in the tower is to capture us all, then you too must go to the tower! Go tell someone you trust! “We’re caught!”
“B-but… … .”
“Go! If you go, you’ll be helping us for now! Go and bring reinforcements from the tower!”
Erica bit her lip in response to Douglas’ shout.
And then it flew a little higher, towards the sky.
That’s because the net was once again aimed at her.
Erica soared to a height that the flying net could not reach.
She shouted to her companions on the ground.
“a little bit… Hang in there! “I’ll be back soon!”
“Don’t worry, just go!”
“If you fall, I will kill you again!”
With those words, Erica crossed the sky at high speed.
And the leader of the monsters is watching him.
Ugh-.
The sound of teeth grinding was heard from inside the robe, and the besieging subordinate was kicked in the stomach.
“You idiot! “You missed everything you caught?!”
puck-.
“Ugh!”
While the monster who had been kicked in the stomach was coughing up blood, the leader spoke to his waiting subordinates.
“Tell it. “We lost one bird, so spread siege.”
“All right!”
In response, the subordinate lowered his head and took out a communication stone from his pocket.
“Ugh, you’re bothering me.”
Leaving behind his subordinates who urgently started communicating, the leader looked towards the direction Erica had flown.
A murderous eye light flashed from within the shadow of the robe.
“But the weather is helping.”
Where the shining gaze is directed.
Rumbling-.
An unusual sound was heard from the sky where Erica flew.
Not long after that.
Thu-deuk- Thu-deuk-.
Raindrops fell one by one and soon turned into a fierce storm.
After a while, the rushing storm completely erased all traces of the monsters and Grand Meisters.
This was five days before the break at the Transcendental Learning Center began.
