Episode 146
From the Academy, take the Mana Train to Old Castle Teshiran.
From Tesiran, ride a horse to Sky Mountain.
“It’s been a while here, too.”
Sky Mountain, which I visited after a long time, still boasted a magnificent scenery.
The ‘barrier’ that separates us from the human world still exists.
The giant ogre and tribal leader Harkan, who resembles a mountain (Hl), also remains the same.
And, one more thing.
“How have you been?”
“Hey, human! “I remember you!”
The guy who made Kunkan’s Moral Knuckles for me.
“me! Omerush, son of Omerukan! All of the Skymountain ogres remember you! The great human warrior Ruin! You are our forever friend! welcome
all!”
Omerush.
This guy, who was the first to greet me as soon as I entered Sky Mountain, still boasted a healthy appearance.
I held out my hand towards Omerush.
He muttered quietly, ‘Are you sure we want to arm wrestle again?’, but he soon realized what I meant and held my hand.
“I remember it. Human greeting methods. handshake. But isn’t this the greeting that friends say when they say goodbye?”
“no. It also means it’s nice to meet you.”
“… … Right. Nice to meet you too. friend.”
okay.
Everything is the same.
The only thing that has changed is ‘me’.
Omerush sniffed my body as if something was suspicious.
“human. You have become very strong. I can’t estimate it. “It’s too strong.”
“okay?”
“Twice as much as when we met before, no.
“I feel like I’ve become three or four times stronger.”
Omerush’s sense was quite accurate.
When I first came to Sky Mountain, my strength was around 3,000.
It was probably a little less than 3,000.
However, now the strength has exceeded 12,000.
As Omerush said, it has become more than four times stronger.
And, another thing that has changed.
‘… … Destruction of the barrier.’
Due to the influence of spiritual power, the sky mountain is blocked.
Even this barrier appears purple.
Perhaps, if you just set your mind to breaking it, you can break this barrier.
But, if I destroy this, the ogres will become dangerous, right?
“human! “Hurry, let’s go to the tribal leader!”
“O” “O’.
Omerush and I passed through Sobong and Jungbong and headed to Haneulbong, where the tribe leader was located.
We arrived at Haneulbong Peak after passing steep stone steps and rock walls.
Mountains upon mountains sitting there.
The tribe leader, Harkan, glanced at me and clapped his hands hard.
thud!
A huge wind power roared through Sky Mountain, and the ogres gathered around let out their own screams.
“right! right! Ooh ooh!”
“A great human warrior has returned to Sky Mountain again!”
“You are our friend! A friend needs a reason to visit a friend’s house.
Not! We welcome you!”
“Blessings of strength upon you!”
I waved my hand at all the ogres who welcomed me.
“Thank you everyone for welcoming me. But today I come with a friend who is more welcome than me.”
” friend?”
A friend who would be more welcome than me.
I was talking about Kinggram.
Omerush asked, pointing to Strang guarding next to me.
“You mean the guy next to me wearing a human mask?”
“••••••huh?”
What, how do you know that Strang is not human?
When I gave a puzzled look, Omeru Xu said as if it was obvious.
“Sniff. It’s not a human smell. “It smells like a power similar to yours.”
Oh, was it something like that?
You have a very sensitive sense of smell.
I said with a grin.
“This guy’s name is Strang. “He is the embodiment of power.”
“Woe, Hwashin!”

The ogres of Sky Mountain, including Omerush, made a fuss when they heard that he was the embodiment of power.
Strang said ‘Hong!’ He snorted.
I spoke to those ogres.
“The friend I was talking about is not Strang. “I brought my ‘family’ who misses you all so desperately.”
” family?”
“Yes, family.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I summoned a dimension door.
Damn it!
A crack appeared in the space, and a pitch-black sub-space appeared.
In it, a huge ogre appeared.
“Key, Kinggram!”
An ogre that is two heads taller than the ogres of Sky Mountain.
Ancient Ogre Kinggram.
The entire Sky Mountain became noisy at his completely unexpected appearance.
Kinggram, who had returned to his hometown for the first time in a while, spread his arms wide and took a deep breath.
“… … “You’re back.”
《Quest has been completed.》
* * *
It took over 500 years to return.
perhaps.
My hometown, a land I thought I would never be able to step on.
The greenery of Sky Mountain that I thought I would never smell again.
What does it feel like to return to your ‘hometown’?
You may not know it, but it will be difficult to control the strong emotions that come your way simply by laughing and chatting with people you are happy to see.
“Kinggram, that guy, he’s been doing that since a while ago.
there is.”
Kinggram spent the whole day alone.
I also walked here and there on Sky Mountain.
I enjoyed the freedom of listening to birdsong, feeling the wind, and walking on my own two legs.
Unlike King Gram, where there were many mixed feelings, a big feast was held at Sky Mountain.
“Two welcome warriors appear together! “Today is a festival!”
“ruler! “Everyone, drink!”
Pork fat liquor made using smoked meat of various wild animals and the fat of those animals.
and.
“You all remember, right? “The day Kinggram was defeated by that human wizard!”
“know. I remember it vividly. “If it wasn’t for Kinggram that day, we might all have died, so how could I forget!”
“I can’t believe Kinggram came back alive like this! “This is the blessing of true power!”
A piece of old memory that I brought out after a long time.
At this level, it would be a great banquet that would rival any other delicacies.
At that time, Kinggram approached me with both hands full of something.
“Ruin. “Take this.”
“••••••yes?”
“It’s a small gift, but it brought me back to my hometown.”
Kinggram gave me two things.
The one is.
“… … Is this it? What about that special elixir?”
An unidentifiable stew boiled in a large pot that is used as a soup bowl for ogres.
Another one was a wooden board with something written on it.
It seemed to be a recipe for making this ‘Special Ogre Tendon Spirit Medicine’.
In response to my question, Kinggram raised the corner of his mouth and said,
“okay. “This is the secret story of the Sky Mountain Ogre.”
“Biggy?”
“It’s not just food. “It is a very important food that newborn ogre cubs eat for the first time before they even drink from their mother’s milk.”
‘Special ogre tendon elixir.’
At first glance, it looked like a mixed soup with various things mixed into a thin soup.
When I took a quick look, there were unidentifiable pieces of meat and grass mixed together messyly.
there is.
The most terrible thing is
The smell is so terrible that you don’t even want to go near it.
Even at first glance, you get the feeling that drinking it would be dangerous.
However, Kinggram recommended ‘Special Ogre Tendon Elixir’ to the end.
“Eat. It is especially good for males. “You can trust it and eat it.”
Since last time, it has been male, male.
I’m not old enough to take care of such things yet.
“Do I really have to eat this?”
“Yes.”
I took the pot and the wooden board with the recipe written on it.
Solsolsol-
I wanted to look at the recipe in detail to see what ingredients went into this dish, but I decided against it.
Because once I found out, I really didn’t think I could eat it.
Whether they knew how I felt or not, the ogres around me went into an uproar.
“okay! “If you’re a true ogre’s friend, you should at least take a special elixir!”
“Drink! “Drink it without leaving a single drop of it!”
“Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!”
Err, I don’t know.
I’ve tried terrible drinks like Damon Dragon Kiss.
Surely I have to eat and die?
It seems to be the traditional food of ogres, and it is not polite to refuse it.
I closed my eyes tightly and plugged my nose with one hand.
He lifted the huge pot and poured it into his mouth.
Ugh, eek, ugh, ugh, ik.
An unbearable terrible smell.
More terrible taste.
I wanted to throw the pot down right away, screaming, ‘It’s made just for people to eat!’
I didn’t stop.
I felt like if I stopped like this, I would never be able to speak of it again.
little bit more.
Just a little more.
It’s the last piece.
little bit more!
“oh! Oooooh!”
The ogres cheered as they watched me pour down the special ogre tendon elixir in one gulp.
and.
“Wow!”
“also! “You are the greatest human warrior!”
When I emptied a pot full of special ogre tendon elixir so cleanly that I didn’t even need to wash the dishes, Sky Mountain screamed for me to go away.
“Knock.”
It feels like something rotten is coming out of my mouth.
I pushed out my full stomach and lifted the pot above my head.
Then Kinggram asked:
“How was it?”
… … How was it?
Are you asking that?
Me, indeed.
Any way you look at it, it’s a quest reward.
I spoke in a voice full of anger, even erasing the empty words about how delicious it was.
“It’s the worst food I’ve ever had.”
Then Kinggram seemed to find it amusing.
He said with a smile.
“Hehe. Food that is good for your health is actually bitter.”
“It’s good for your body, right?”
“okay. Especially for males… …
“No, nothing like that.”
Perhaps because he was amused by my expression of indignation, King Gram laughed out loud for the first time since arriving at Sky Mountain.
“Hahaha! Why are you asking me that? “You probably know the power of that food better than I do.”
“yes? “What does that mean?”
“Has something changed?”
At that time, I checked the system window that came into view.
《I drank the ‘Special Ogre Tendon Elixir’.》
《Strength has increased by 100.》
《You can check the target’s status window through the enhanced player’s eyes.》
《Would you like to confirm?》
What’s this.
Strength increased by 100?
I tried using the player’s eyes.
《Special Ogre Tendon Elixir》
《A special elixir brewed using ogre tendons as the main ingredient. Significantly increases strength permanently.》
《Detailed recipes are passed down only to a few selected ogres of Sky Mountain.》
《The rising power may vary depending on the cooking condition of the elixir.》
what’s this.
I looked at Kinggram with dumb eyes.
Then Kinggram laughed again as if it was fun.
“What on earth is this? How can I gain strength just by eating… …
“Didn’t I tell you? “It’s so good for males.”
“No, no matter how much it is… …
The first food that baby ogres of Sky Mountain eat as soon as they are born.
So, do ogres eat this kind of food every day?
Is it possible to increase your strength by 100 every day?
In response to my question, Kinggram shook his head.
“It is just a traditional food that has been passed down for a long time to the Sky Mountain ogres. You have to eat it to see the effect. The only thing I can do is to be able to use a little more energy at night… …
“Then what about me?”
” hmm?”
“Do I keep getting stronger every time I eat this?”
At my question, Kinggram laughed as if it were funny.
“Didn’t I tell you? “How many years did Draka stay at Sky Mountain?”
100 years.
Draka stayed on Sky Mountain for about 100 years.
“If we pile up the elixir bowls he has been boiling and drinking for 100 years, maybe
“I might reach the Sky Peak.”
“Why would he stay here for 100 years and drink the elixir? Is it delicious? Probably not. “This tastes terrible, even for ogres.”
okay.
The reason why Draka stayed in Sky Mountain for 100 years.
If the ‘player’ drinks this, his/her strength will continue to increase.
A way to grow explosively in a short period of time.
This was on Sky Mountain.
