I Became A Thief Who Steals Overpowered Skills Chapter 160

[EP.160] Why is the Poison King here?

World erosion from Hadenharz.

Krasch, who was faced with that, didn’t really have much to do.

“Don’t move for no reason, just stay calm.”

Then the corpse rat on Krashu’s shoulder warned.

As he said, Krashu did not do anything and stayed calm.

That was because Ebelask’s White Bone Corps, which had spread across the Hadenharz Mountains, was destroying all the encroaching species.

Ebelask truly demonstrated the power of a necromancer.

The White Bone Legion is an immortal army that does not die until Ebelask’s power runs out.

So, even if it was an erosion species, it could not do much in front of the White Bone Corps.

And that wasn’t the only thing.

Ebelask’s corpses moving from time to time showed another potential.

They each had different characteristics and formed their own teams to thoroughly hunt the encroaching species.

Crashu, who was watching the scene from afar, realized why the empire was so persistent in following Ebelask.

You definitely wouldn’t want to miss this.

‘Because Arthur also handled Ebelask usefully.’

From Sigrin’s point of view, he would be tearing up his handkerchief in anger at losing Ebelask.

Meanwhile, number 8 shone on the other side of the mountain.

She gave Krasch a quick greeting and disappeared into the forest again.

That is because, as she requested, he became a wall for Ebelask to lean on.

Indeed, it was a corpse with a strong will of its own.

“Mr. Crashu.”

At that moment, Krasch turned his head to follow the voice heard from behind.

Fellay was standing there.

He repeatedly opened and closed his lips with an expression of wanting to ask something.

Then, he clenched his fists tightly and opened his mouth.

“… … “Do you know that the Night Raven participated in the last Imperial Martial Arts Tournament?”

Fellay looked determined.

You must have guessed what Krasch meant by what he said just now.

“Felay.”

Krasch looked back at him and blurted out something.

“The reason you didn’t win the martial arts competition was not because you were weak, but because your opponent was strong.”

Fellay’s eyes widened as he realized what those words meant.

Then, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

“… … That’s right.”

Krasch finished speaking and raised his head.

Because the yellow light was fading in the sky.

The sound of eroding species crunching could be heard here and there.

At the same time, the rising sun colored the sky with dawn light.

“Crash.”

Haring soon approached and called Krashu’s name.

She had blood splattered all over her clothes, showing how much she had struggled.

“okay.”

Haring clenched the hand holding the dagger.

The sky glowed vividly, as if resolving the long-standing trauma that had accumulated in her.

“World Erosion Closed.”

It was the moment when Emperor Gwangdao truly faced death.

＊ ＊ ＊

In conclusion, the streets of Hadenharz were virtually trashed.

The world erosion rating is a whopping 8 stars, as Krasch predicted.

If Rai’s battle had lasted longer, it would have been a world erosion that could have grown to 9 stars.

Thanks to this, Ilgeom devoted all his power to confronting the 8-star master of world erosion.

Even if they were the best swords that Valheim was proud of, it was impossible to fight their master without damaging the house.

Therefore, it is said that in the end, they forcibly dragged the owner out of the private house and fought in the mountains.

Thanks to this, the casualties were not that many, considering it was an 8-star world invasion.

In the case of the North Sea Ice Museum in Hadenharz, it was almost completely preserved.

There were even the 4th princess and the 1st prince on this side, so it was a result of protecting them as a top priority.

‘In the end, there is such a thing as priority for people.’

Krasch saw people shedding tears in front of the corpse.

Most of them were commoners.

“Ugh, Dad, Dad.”

“He said let’s go to the mountains tomorrow. “What if I say that and leave?”

“Mom, please, my mom is okay! “It’s okay, right!”

In fact, many knights who were considered semi-nobles died.

This was because the knights of Hadenharz also shed blood to combat world erosion.

Nevertheless, the reality was that the number of commoners was large.

Fellay’s face hardened as he brought the civilians out of the cave for evacuation.

Many thoughts seemed to pass through his face.

A variety of complex emotions, such as guilt that he had not been able to protect himself, flashed across Fellay’s face.

However, Krasch’s expression did not change much.

That was because he had seen this situation too many times.

These terrible, nausea-inducing situations will continue to repeat themselves in the future.

So in the end, I had no choice but to become numb to these things.

The reality that is thrust upon us always forces death on someone.

There was no story in this world like the dream of protecting everyone in the world.

If Emperor Gwangdao had been let go, casualties might have been reduced.

If he had been let go, the difficulty of world erosion would not have increased this much.

But if I had let him go, something like this would have happened again.

And there would have been other new casualties.

‘That’s disgusting.’

For some reason, Krasch suppressed a laugh.

In the end, he reflected on the fact that he was also in a position to force someone to make a sacrifice.

[Do you feel guilty? ]

“Unfortunately.”

Apart from a slight sense of self-loathing, Krasch did not feel guilty.

It is not your role to be sad.

It was the position of a nobleman who had to give command to prevent something like this from happening in the future and to resolve the current situation immediately.

That was the role of nobles in this world.

The role is to pave the way for those who are sad to rise rather than carrying their sorrow.

“Crash.”

Krasch raised his head as he was called.

Then there was a woman standing there.

She walked around with her long dark blue hair flying, and her clothes were all messed up.

But nothing could diminish her majesty.

Sword Saint, Charlotte Valheim.

She was Krashu’s sister.

She glanced at Krasch, who had returned.

“Where you were injured.”

“It hurts everywhere.”

When she asked the question, Krasch raised his arm and said:

Although he didn’t show it, Crashu was in a pretty dangerous situation right now.

I needed a break right away.

So when Krasch answered, Charlotte looked at him blankly and then turned her head away.

“That’s it then.”

As I watched her confidently walking away, the door to the North Sea Ice Center suddenly opened.

There was Sizzly, with hair that shined in the color of the sea and had her hair braided in the shape of a dumpling.

She glanced at Charlotte passing by her and immediately ran towards Krasch.

“Fourth Princess!”

Sizzly stood in front of Krashu while her panicked guards, the Light Sword, followed her.

She moved faster than expected with her short legs.

“… … “You saved it.”

Sizzle, facing Krasch’s face, let out a long sigh of relief.

When she saw Krashu, she realized that he had saved Ebelask.

She also never thought the situation would get this bad.

So, I was worried about Krashu and Ebelask all the time inside the North Sea Ice Hall.

“Whoa, I guess I don’t have to write what I wanted to write.”

“… … “What were you trying to write?”

“It won’t be anything good to hear.”

Sizzley shook her head.

Then I looked in the direction where Charlotte had gone.

“By the way, you have a monster-like sister. “I only knew about it, but I never thought it would be that bad.”

Crashu also looked in the same direction as Sizzley.

“What did you do?”

“They said he was the first to spot the 8-star owner who was trying to attack a private house, and held on alone. “After that, it looks like he joined forces with Ilgeom and took them down.”

The faces of Haring and Fellay, who were following behind, hardened.

This was because I heard that Charlotte single-handedly withstood an eroding species that was on a completely different level from the eroding species that they had struggled with.

Charlotte, who passed by a little while ago, looked like she was having a hard time but didn’t have any major problems.

Rather, it was still radiating momentum like a well-forged blade.

[ Indeed, I am a guy. It’s completely different from my younger brother who barely managed to defeat the 8-star by rolling around like he was dying. ]

Krasch laughed.

Krasch has also clearly become much stronger compared to Agares.

But even so, if you were to tell her to defeat it while still intact like Charlotte, she would shake her head.

Of course, considering the situation, it is true that Crashu had a worse environment.

In Krasch’s case, the biggest card was prior knowledge.

‘This year, a 16-year-old girl who was not even a returner faced an 8-star eroded species.’

I could tell without even imagining how big the impact would be.

Today, Charlotte’s name will be raised even higher.

As a result, Sigrin, whom Charlotte judges to be a regressor, will fall even further into the abyss.

“Your expression is gloomy.”

“It’s not gloomy… … .”

Krasch was about to respond to Sizley’s words when he felt his vision becoming blurred.

Wow, this is a pattern that has always happened.

“Crash!”

With Haring’s startled voice coming from behind, Krasch’s body tilted forward.

＊ ＊ ＊

It’s a familiar ceiling.

Yes, it was natural.

Because it was a ceiling that Crasch had already seen once.

“… … .”

But unlike back then, my body felt empty.

This was because the white hair that should have been visible was not visible.

Crasch, feeling regretful for some reason, hung himself a moment later.

“You’re awake.”

At that moment, a corpse rat appeared on top of Krashu.

The rat carrying Ebelask’s voice made a squeak.

“I thought I would sleep forever.”

“Well, isn’t this the kind of thing that happens quickly?”

At the same time, Crimson Garden’s voice was heard this time.

It was a voice coming from a crow that came in through the window.

It was a crow I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Was he originally following me as a crow?

The mouse and the crow.

It was an ominous combination in many ways.

“Ebelask, Crimson Garden, what is the situation outside?”

“Things are being sorted out here and there. It turns out that it was Emperor Gwangdao who wounded the Poison King. “The presence of the child you brought in named Haring was significant.”

The Gwangdoje is the culprit of the Lagren incident.

In such a situation, Haring, the only direct descendant of the Lagren family, directly participated in this expedition.

As a result, Ebelask’s existence was instantly buried as he became a hot topic as a later figure who avenged his family.

“It looks like Staron deliberately lit the fire even more.”

They didn’t want the imperials to set foot on the Staron border just because Ebelask had not been captured yet.

Staron also criticized the Empire, saying that it had made a wrong decision.

As a result, the empire side also tried to quietly pass over for some reason.

“It must be because of the Gwangdaoje.”

Krasch had a vague idea of ​​the reason.

Professor Sena said that there must have been some kind of deal between the imperial palace and Emperor Gwangdo.

And Krasch judged that the target of the transaction was not the Gwangdaoje, but the world eroder group Ixion.

“So, what do you mean? Ebelask, the body of the Gwangdoje has been recovered.”

“Oh, yes, I’m taking it with me.”

The rat suddenly raised its head and responded.

“Can you bring that guy back from the dead body?”

“It’s going to take a while, right?”

“are you okay. “Let me do you a favor.”

“Hmm, if you please. “I’ll do it right away.”

The mouse put its small arms on its waist and looked slightly smug.

I was a little annoyed when I thought that was the expression on Ebelask’s face beyond the rat.

“Are you planning to dig up some information?”

“Yes, apart from that, there is a way to monitor Ixion’s movements, isn’t there?”

The moment he heard those words, the crow’s eyes opened slightly.

“Are you really planning on using that corpse to participate in Ixion’s meeting?”

As expected from Crimson Garden, they are quick-witted.

“What, what? “What is a meeting?”

Then Ebelask, who was the only one who didn’t know what it was, reacted in confusion.

“In Ixion, there are regular meetings among the world’s encroachers. That place is an independent space created by the Black Witch, and no one who is not invited can enter. So you and I will be expelled from Ixion’s council.”

Ebelask belatedly realized what was being said.

“Are you really planning to send Emperor Gwangdao’s corpse to that meeting?”

“Yes, even you World Encroachers don’t know what each other’s abilities are. “It wouldn’t be surprising if there was at least one means of resurrection hidden from the Emperor of Gwangdao.”

“B-but you know I exist, right? You probably know that a corpse can be brought back to life… … .”

Krasch’s hand pointed to Crimson Garden.

“There’s that guy.”

Crimson Garden clicked its tongue.

Crimson Garden’s immortality can be shared.

To be precise, it is nothing more than a form of restoring the body to when it was alive at the cost of lifespan.

“You summon the soul, Crimson Garden saves you, and Ebelask rips out your heart, and that’s the end.”

Ebelask trembled after hearing Krashu’s plan.

“… … “I’m planning to eat away the bone marrow.”

“There is no risk. “It would be a shame if I got caught.”

Still, if you don’t get caught, it will be your best move.

“That one little hair is amazing.”

Crimson Garden gave a short exclamation.

Shake!

At that moment, the visit suddenly opened.

Crimson Garden flew away with the sound of a food duck, and Ebelask’s corpse rat quickly hid under the blanket.

When Krasch turned his head, he saw familiar white hair there.

But it was not a familiar face.

Krasch’s face showed blatant disappointment.

“… … I woke up. “I don’t think people are that disappointed when they see their faces.”

She was none other than Bianca’s older sister, Zenica Hadenharz.

But Krasch’s expression did not change.

“Anything to do.”

“It just worked out.”

As Krasch asked, she looked outside and closed the door with a squeak.

Then, he suddenly walked in front of him.

With her white hair flowing, she put her hands on her waist and made a slightly angry expression.

“I just wanted to ask you one thing.”

Krasch looked at her with an expression of confusion.

“… … Yes, you. “Do you realize that you are Bianca’s fiancé?”

Krasch looked like he was saying something strange.

“Because as soon as you fell, everything went crazy.”

She remembers a commotion in front of the entrance.

Haring Lagren, a direct descendant of the Lagren family, was completely broken in an instant, crying and making a fuss, and the rat next to him squealed to the point that his head hurt.

Moreover, even the 4th princess, Sizzly Efania, had a stern expression on her face and shouted to call a medical center right away.

“… … No matter how you look at it, it’s not an ordinary relationship.”

Those violent reactions were not typical, even in Zenica’s opinion.

It was clear that he had at least more than ordinary emotions.

However, Krasch’s reaction was actually sour.

“I guess he was just surprised that he collapsed.”

Zenica felt angry for a moment.

He wanted to shout that it was absolutely not that bad, but Krasch didn’t know exactly how others would react after he fell.

A situation where panic arose in an instant just because he fell.

“And I am fully aware that I am Bianca’s fiancé. do not worry. Because she won’t have anything else to do. “She is thinking of getting married when Bianca turns 15.”

“Yeah, really?”

When Krasch answered with a straight face, Zenica answered with a shocked expression.

That’s because Crasch’s expression seemed sincere.

But Zenica pursed her lips.

Although Crasch was asserting this, the situation around him was inevitably becoming distorted around him.

The woman’s intuition was speaking.

That’s a mess.

‘… … ‘Do you think she knows what’s going on?’

Zenica, who remembered Bianca’s letter, smoothed the side of her hair.

She was worried that Bianca would know that her fiancé was in the middle of the mess right now.

For some reason, Zenica was so angry that she tried to say a few more words to Krasch, but stopped.

I ran out of things to say.

It was because he wondered if he was qualified to step forward for Bianca.

“… … .”

“Is there anything more to say?”

Krasch asked as Zenica remained silent.

Then she hesitated and then turned around.

“Oh, otherwise it’s okay.”

Zenica left the room, seemingly at a loss for words.

And then she thought to herself.

‘I don’t know. Still, I have to tell you this.’

At the very least, Bianca should know about Crashu’s current situation.

‘I’ll just close the door and go.’

As Krasch was looking at the open door that Zenica had gone through.

Someone stuck their head through the door.

“You look fine now.”

That was none other than the 4th princess, Sizzly Epania.

She looked at Krasch blankly and then shook her head.

“Na-won, please don’t overdo it and fall down in front of people. “Aren’t you feeling anxious for no reason?”

“It wasn’t even because I wanted to.”

“Then that’s it. “More than that, this incident must be causing quite a stir in the empire.”

She crossed her arms and thought for a moment.

Sizzle has a brilliant mind.

Her head, which was spinning quickly, looked at Krasch to see if he had come up with an answer after a while.

“I’m going back to the empire for a while.”

Krasch’s eyes turned round.

“What are you going to do?”

“While you were unconscious, I heard a brief conversation from Professor Senna Maier. “I thought there were more than one strange movement within the empire, but now it feels like it’s actually eroding the empire.”

Crashu also knew that Sizzley cared for the empire.

Perhaps that was why she, who had been a bystander until now, could no longer watch and took out a knife.

“It will be dangerous if you try to touch it too deeply.”

Krashu doesn’t know everything about the empire either.

However, at first glance, the interior of the empire was more complicated than expected.

So when Krasch warned, Sizzle shrugged his shoulders.

“Even though she looks like this, isn’t she the youngest princess who is pretty? “It’s safer than most people.”

As she said that, she smiled mischievously.

“And above all, if I were in danger, wasn’t there someone who would show up and say voila?”

Who are you talking about?

Krasch made a startled expression.

“Then come with good news.”

Sizley waved hello and left.

Afterwards, the light sword guard briefly bowed to Krashu and followed her.

She was a stormy woman in many ways.

The moment Sizzle left, another sign appeared at the door.

They appear one after another.

“Crash.”

She was none other than Haring.

Is it Haring because Zenica and Sizzly are going?

As what happened yesterday, her eyes were very red, probably because she cried so much.

“… … “Are you feeling okay?”

But as soon as he saw Krasch, a blush spread across Haring’s face.

Even though it wasn’t as bad as Krasch, Haring was also in quite an unreasonable state.

She cried when Krasch collapsed, and she collapsed too, exhausted.

After falling like that, she woke up and heard one piece of news before coming to see Crashu.

Perhaps that was why her expression showed deep concern.

“What happened?”

“that is… … .”

Haring hesitated and then hesitantly came out the door.

Then he spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“My father said he wanted to meet Krashu… … .”

Suddenly, I met the poison king.

fantasy, munchkin,
