Episode 180
“… Desbury?”
Ferist’s lips were trembling, as he still had not figured out the situation.
“What the hell is going on?”
Kwadangtang!
Immediately after, Seren hugged Ferist as if pushing him and they rolled around on the floor together.
Pit, something passed by where Ferist was standing just a moment ago.
‘Is it a bundle of thread?’
The ones I’ve seen so far were silver, but the one I just saw has a darkish color.
What happens when it touches you?
It never occurred to me to experiment.
“Hmm, black thread… … .”
“… … .”
Ferist let out a voice filled with fear.
“What is that?”
“Boo, it’s a thread covered in corrosive liquid… … . It was too dangerous, so it was sealed to prevent fighting… … .”
“… … .”
If it is covered in corrosive liquid, it will be difficult to deal with it even with a blade. Of course, if you use the rapier well, it may be possible to hit it a few times, but what about after that?
Weapons that come into contact with the corrosive liquid will quickly rust and become damaged, and if you lose the rapier, you will have no way to deal with that thread.
“If it’s black thread, do you have other threads?”
“… … .”
“Perist!”
Seren said, looking at Ferist who was startled.
“Are there any other threads?”
“There is… … .”
Seren bit her lip.
I guess I’ll have to listen more, but can I afford it now?
I saw Desbury.
Still standing with one hand outstretched. It was frozen as if it were a stone… … .
I don’t know what you’re thinking.
I don’t even want to know.
“Why did you save it?”
Charon approached me before I knew it and asked in a low voice. This guy was also wary of Desbury.
“… I do not know.”
Seren responded like that, but what came to mind at that moment was something Ferist said.
– Seren. my first friend
“… … .”
My head is pounding.
Was I shaken by a simple word? Anyway, Seren slapped Ferist on the cheek.
Sigh-!
“100 million!”
“Wake.”
Ferist’s eyes returned to focus a little.
“You should avoid this place for now. “Hide somewhere in this mansion, or if you can move, go to Building 12 where the Dean is, or get out of here anyway.”
“Uh, why… … ?”
“… … .”
It was a question with a lot of meaning.
Instead of replying, Seren gave advice until the end.
“Go quickly. Do not pull out the sword stuck in your shoulder. “I’m concerned about excessive bleeding.”
“… … .”
Perist got up from his seat and hurriedly left, still looking scared.
[…] … .]
Even then, Deathbury and the Demon King of the Blood Moon were not moving.
Now I no longer feel like that being is a doll… … . On the contrary, to be considered a living thing, it does not feel as vibrant as a fallen leaf just before it crumbles.
Faced with such an enemy, Seren Goodspring and Charon Woodjack-.
To be honest, I was thinking at the same time that there was no answer.
“… “How many more times can I use that cold storm from earlier?”
“once.”
“hmm.”
“you? “I don’t think I’m in good shape.”
Charon laughed bitterly.
“I used the protection of explosion. It caused an explosion inside the body. This method uses the impact to instantly increase speed, and as you can see, the body looks like this. Even though there is pain, the problem is the shattered bones. “If things continue like this, there will inevitably be restrictions on movement.”
“is it.”
It would have been a sure defeat even if they were both in good condition, but the situation was so bad that it would be useful for both of them to be alive.
Although it was like having to fight a monster with a paper knife, neither of them were frustrated. We both liked that one thing.
[…] … .]
Desbury stood still.
Is it treated like a caught fish? Damn it, there are degrees of seeing people as water.

Think about it up to that point.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Charon and Seren realized at the same time.
‘This… … .’
‘line?’
Since when did it start?
All around them, threads formed like spiderwebs. It was the first silver thread I saw.
‘I can’t believe I didn’t know this.’
I laughed out loud in helplessness.
If this is the case, then it is a fish that was actually caught. A fish head that did not even realize that it had entered the net.
Step by step.
The Demon King took a step forward.
Desbury himself was seen walking.
They could see it, but neither of them could move.
Seren Good Spring.
I thought that I was the only one who could turn the situation around.
But, what difference will it make if you emit cold air in your current state?
If you can’t remove the thread even with cold… … .
‘ah.’
Seren suddenly realized that her means were very limited.
It was nice to participate in Badniker’s training and receive the protection of the forgotten god [Frost], but I couldn’t fully control this power right now.
‘I want to practice only in closed spaces for 10 years.’
… If it continues like this, you will die anyway.
This is the moment when you try to vent your cold with a do-or-die mentality.
The floor rose up with a crunching sound. Damn it, is there still anything left to pop out?
Now, even in Seren’s half-tired eyes, there was a moment of despair.
Should I say I am fortunate?
What appeared this time was not an enemy.
“older brother… … !”
Seren thought as she looked at Charon, who was smiling.
He was a guy who could make that kind of facial expression and voice. Maybe he has a similar face himself.
“… “Am I a little late?”
Seeing that obnoxious voice being so welcoming.
Luan Badniker emerged from the dust… … .
[…] … .]
A smile spread across Desbury’s face.
* * *
As soon as I appeared, I looked around.
To put it bluntly, it is not a good situation.
It felt much worse than when I had just seen it in an unknown space.
Evan, who was pinned against the wall, appeared to be unconscious… Charon and Seren, who were still standing, also looked like they were about to fall.
And the blood-red moon, the culprit of all this, floating beyond the window, had a human face on it… … .
I saw Desbury with the same expression as the moon.
Which of the two is the main body?
As expected, it will be the moon.
Anyway, the reluctant smile gave me goosebumps.
I stuck out my tongue as I looked at the demon king, who was literally smiling from ear to ear.
“Do you really have to laugh like that?”
[…] … .]
The moment Deathbury waved his hand, the thread around Seren and Charon seemed to be narrowing.
If we leave it like that, Charon and Seren will quickly become like well-cut cube steaks.
‘That doesn’t work.’
I immediately reached out and grabbed the silver thread in my hand. I felt a thin thread digging into the skin of my palm.
Even with all the air power.
‘… ‘It’s a shame I have calluses.’
If it were me in my Yeongsan days, I would have felt comfortable holding the wire with my bare hands.
In the end, no matter how deep the power, it cannot completely replace a trained body. This is the crucial reason why external and internal skills must be in harmony.
I swallowed my regret and pulled on the thread, not caring about the feel of it digging into my skin.
slap-.
Anyway, the thread was actually coming out of Desbury’s body.
As I forcibly pulled the thread, its delicate body floated and was dragged towards me.
I struck him with my fist closed.
Wow!
Ilwon gets stuck in Desbury’s face.
‘This is more than I thought… … .’
Does it feel good?
There was a piece of the doll’s skin on his fist. Desbury, his face smashed to pieces, broke the window and flew out of the building.
It was a vain conclusion that made me suffocate… … .
“… … !”
At that moment, I was startled and looked around. For some reason, I couldn’t hear the voice that struck the candle at these moments.
“What about Evan?”
“That rat over there.”
Where Seren pointed, there was Evan pinned against the wall. There were no major injuries, but he was unconscious.
Charon asked.
“Did you knock it down?”
“It had a taste. but… … .”
I stopped talking.
Rattling-.
Torn doll.
A doll, probably brought down by Seren, Charon, or Evan, writhed and stood up.
His arm was torn off and cotton was leaking from his abdomen, but the moment he stood up, something strange happened.
Ugh-.
A bloody energy surrounded the doll’s entire body, and soon its appearance began to change.
The appearance of an ordinary plush doll was transformed into a deathberry.
It happened in less than a second.
Smirk.
Desbury smiles annoyingly again. I shouted this time.
100 sun eclipse, 白日 format, second eclipse eclipse, 第2招 format.
Fire wheel.
Wow!
The fire exploded on Desbury’s body.
It went in properly this time too. The flames spread from Deathbury’s body, and soon his whole body began to burn like dry firewood.
but.
Rattling-.
At least there were hundreds of dolls in this room.
They started to stand up one by one, and as if it was natural, they turned into deathberries.
Rattling, rattling… … .
I moved my fingers and started counting the deathberries.
“… Hannom, Dusik, Seoksam, Raccoon, and Squid.”
Then it stopped.
There are so many numbers that counting them is meaningless.
Before we knew it, we were surrounded by Deathburys.
Seren sighed and muttered.
“… “I hate this type of enemy the most.”
I know this isn’t the case, but I was curious so I asked.
“What is this type of enemy?”
“Splitting, the regenerative enemy. Just irritated, insincere, unimpressed… … . “There aren’t just one or two drop-off points right now.”
“Is that so?”
Seren seemed to be starting to lose his mind and started talking nonsense.
I tried to ask what kind of enemy he preferred, but it seemed like there was no time for further conversation.
A group of Deathberries came upon us.
At that moment, I deliberately took three steps and jumped into the middle of the enemy army.
As a result, I became an idiot who entered the most dangerous place on the battlefield on my own… … .
Of course, as it becomes harder for me, the burden on the other two will decrease.
This is correct.
The most sane guy has to take on the most enemies.
Dozens of Deathberries are coming.
It looks like it only uses one-dimensional hand-to-hand attacks without using thread or other powers.
Of course, it’s not very threatening.
Therefore, we must not let our guard down even more.
Concentrate your energy on both eyes. The power of Shinsoo was also awakened.
I looked around, thinking that I should give this technique a name, the simultaneous use of the Fire Eye and the Evil Eye.
‘… … .’
And then I realized that there was a thread connecting all the Deathberries that attacked me.
‘The guy who controls this thread… her.’
As I followed the source of the thread with my eyes, I ended up in a ridiculous place.
It was the moon.
The string that came down from the moon was attached to the doll and was controlling it like a puppet.
‘Plague.’
So should we really destroy the moon?
Sigh!
At that moment, a deathberry in the square bit my forearm.
The moment his gaze met those unpleasant-looking eyes, this shitty doll grinned again.
That wasn’t all.
[ah-.]
I heard a voice.
It’s not fostering.
It was like speaking directly to the mind, but it was too unpleasant to be called a telephonic sound.
It felt like a finger had entered through my ear hole and was digging into my brain.
I blatantly frowned.
[Sweet, matchless, possessor of a late soul. You are mine.]
“… … .”
[But why?]
Desbury’s head tilted.
[Why didn’t you go back?]
“what?”
[I was hoping you would use it this time-.]
His voice broke as he smashed his face with his other hand. I thought at the same time.
What does this mean?
What is late marriage?
I had more than one or two questions, but I decided not to look deeply into the Demon King’s vague words right now.
Mechanically, I reduce the number of deathberries and think of words that can be interpreted one by one.
‘Why didn’t you come back?’
The moment I heard those words, what came to my mind was Youngsan’s blessings.
Naturally, I couldn’t help but think about regression.
‘As expected, the Demon King can recognize my return.’
What I learned from my conversation with Corps Commander Kajitta is that the nine Demon Lords of the Black Swamp remember my encounter.
Even though it happened in the past and never happened anymore.
So, first of all, it is possible for a demon king-level being to recognize my return.
‘You hoped it would be consumed?’
Are you talking about the divine protection of the sacred mountain?
I didn’t understand.
If Hadeneihar knows about my return, wouldn’t my going back to the past be a situation he must avoid?
Because work will become much more troublesome.
‘Is it advantageous for Haden Eihar if I return? There’s no way something like that could happen…’
Right after thinking that far.
‘… … .’
I suddenly stopped thinking.
It was because of an absurd thought that suddenly occurred to me.
The divine protection of the sacred mountain is a power with many mysteries. Even I, the owner, cannot say that I fully understand its true nature.
in other words… … .
There is a good chance that the Demon King, a transcendent being, knows more about this power than I do.
‘I hoped it would be consumed.’
In other words, it was trying to exhaust them.
If I could use divine protection indefinitely, there would be no reason to say that.
In other words, there is a limit to the number of times this blessing can be used.
When I thought about it up to that point, things I didn’t understand really clicked into place.
Down here.
This is even the reason why the Demon King of the Blood Moon made a joke by showing me two perspectives alternately: the mountain and the present.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Hadeneihar. This bastard… … .’
You tried to drain my regression.
