Episode 1081
How deep are you going?
The darkness became increasingly dense, and the air gradually became thinner than usual to the point where it was difficult to breathe.
No matter how much you think about it, it is not an ordinary space.
‘… … ‘My back hurts.’
It wasn’t easy to be dragged by a cart on uneven ground.
Then at some point.
‘!’
A huge square was revealed as my vision adjusted to the darkness.
Until now, we had been moving through a narrow tunnel-like street, but now
a large space like a hall had appeared underground.
There were people walking around in perfect golden armor everywhere. It held a spear that seemed to have condensed light into a solid, and under a helmet
with a flowing mane, its face was hidden by something that looked like transparent glass.
I’ve never seen Meilin in person, but I knew about it after hearing Simon’s story.
‘Undead soldiers of the 1st Legion!’
they were working
They were using various equipment to break through the wall and excavate the surrounding area. When a certain part of the wall was drilled, something like
a ‘coffin’ came out.
They took it out, opened the lid, checked the remains, and placed them in a
waiting trolley. There were not just one or two coffins pulled out like that.
Meilin shook her shoulders.
‘Then this entire space is a huge mass grave?’
The first corps excavating the grave and taking the excavated remains somewhere.
It seemed like they were trying to make him undead. An undead unique to the
1st Corps that looks like a living person.
‘… … Strange.’
The Dark Alliance basically prohibits turning humans into undead during peacetime.
Of course, leaving aside the moral aspect, no matter how strong a human being is turned into an undead, it is not easy to properly bring out the strength of
the previous life. If you turn a dead hunter who was good at shooting a bow into a zombie, he won’t be able to hold a bow properly, and if you turn a brilliant
tactician who commanded the world into a skeleton, he won’t be able to write
a single word.
There is a reason why most modern necromancers’ summons are made up of
monster corpses. This is because the human body relies more on the brain than the movements imprinted on the body, making it less efficient.
Of course, there are exceptions that use special manufacturing methods, such
as a corrupted Death Knight or a Dullahan that turns a knight who can use Aurors, but that’s basically it.
But now.
They are taking all the remains from the old underground tombs. Meilin lifted
her head slightly to get a closer look.
‘What on earth are you doing here…? … oh!’
She barely restrained herself from screaming. A huge skull passed over the head of her cart as she was being transported, the hem of her robes fluttering.
Surprisingly, it was Rich.
Like other soldiers of the 1st Legion, they wore colorful armor over their robes and held glass-like staffs. The face is covered with a hood and guard, but no
matter how you move or move, it looks like a human being. If it weren’t for the
story I heard from Simon, I would have thought he was just a human.
‘A completely new type of undead. ‘What on earth is the 1st Corps commander?’
At that time, the man in armor who was pulling the cart in front looked back.
Meilin quickly lay down, pretending like nothing had happened.
“This woman looks like she just looked outside.”
“That can’t be possible. “My mind was taken over by a magic sword and I was
even given medicine.”
My heart is pounding.
Meilin’s heart was beating like crazy. I was afraid that the sound of her heart
would leak out.
“Let me check.”
Cut it out.
The man stretched out his arm towards Meilin’s face. As her hand got closer and closer, Meilin, who was terrified, gritted her teeth and held back.
[%&@^@!]
Someone’s voice rang loudly. The man who was extending his arm to Mei-Lintsked, clicked her tongue, and spoke irritably.
“I got it! “It’s fussy.”
They stopped checking and started pushing the truck again. I don’t know who
said what just now, but Meilin sighed deeply in relief.
Soon Meilin arrived in front of an altar. A jet black color that made her body tingle was flowing from here.
The two drivers helped Meilin get out of the tow truck, held her arms on both
sides, and walked her as if leading her. She cautiously opened her eyes.
‘That!’
Finally, I see the ‘demon sword’ I’ve been looking for so long. The sword body
is quite long. There were two red jewels embedded in the center, and eerie energy emanated in all directions.
And there were some familiar faces: the cook who disappeared on the first night and the new groom who disappeared on the second night.

The chef was lying on the side of the altar, his skinny body like a mummy with all his energy drained out. Beside her, the new bridegroom, who was also skinny, was holding her magic sword in one hand and raising it above her head.
‘… … This is the pose I took yesterday while holding my sword. Was this a rehearsal?’
I was concerned that the new groom holding the magic sword had a very painful expression.
Meirin, who was dragged by the two knights, finally knelt before the magic sword.
‘My legs are cold.’
She raised her head as she felt the rope binding her wrists behind her. If you
wait like this, when the new bridegroom’s strength runs out, it will be your turn to take up the magic sword.
The magic sword continued to generate ominous energy and spread it around.
I don’t know the detailed principle, but it seemed like the power of the magic sword revealed the location of the corpse here, and the 1st Corps’ undead excavated the corpse at that location and moved it to another location.
‘The cook is still alive.’
She glanced toward the fallen chef.
‘We need to take action before it’s too late. but… … .’
There were too many soldiers and knights of the 1st Corps around. In particular, lichs were advanced undead that were quite difficult to deal with.
Can I really win on my own? Questions flowed through her body, but in times
like these, she had to strengthen her mind.
thud!
Eventually, the new groom reached his limit.
He plunged his sword into the floor of the altar and collapsed, withered and tumbling down the stairs. As another temporary owner fell, the magic sword spread an ominous light.
[Hold me.]
The voice of the magic sword resounds as it searches for a new owner. The knights who had been brought earlier cut the ropes that bound Meilin’s wrists, then lifted her up and pushed her onto her back.
Then they quickly walked away for fear of getting caught.
‘joy.’
Meilin looked at them as if she was pitiful and then slowly approached the magic sword.
[closely. A little closer.]
She stood in front of the magic sword.
Since I am alert, it is not a task to resist the temptation of the magic sword. Meilin leisurely raised her head and looked around. Terrain features, nearby enemies you need to deal with right away, and how many enemies remain. And she even calculated how long she would endure and at what timing she would turn on Elemental Master Mode.
[Hold me.]
The magic sword continued to tempt Meilin, but Meilin was only moving her arms, as if she could not grasp the handle.
One of the suspicious knights suddenly shouts! And he pulled out his sword.
“also! That woman! Still conscious… … !”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!
She smiled as she unleashed the jet-black flame magic that once symbolized
Meilin.
“Is it already late?”
The knight was hit by a fireball and rolled around on the floor in pain. Another knight drew his sword and threw himself away.
Hehehe!
Tremendous rushing speed. In an instant, a knight appeared in front of her and struck her head with his sword.
Stand tall!
Before I knew it, the sword was covered in hard frost. Not only the sword, but
also the arms and half of the armor were frozen.
“That’s too bad.”
She spun around and hit the helmet with the cool kick she learned in matu class. She saw his body fly away and roll around on her floor.
[Ⳗⴠⴀ!]
[Ⳗⴠⴠⴀ!]
Sensing the commotion, the undead soldiers of the 1st Corps inside raised their shields and raised their spears.
The troops inside moved in an orderly manner to surround her, but Meilin did
not feel intimidated and spread her arms.
A jet-black flame system was formed in one hand, and a jet-black ice system
was formed in the other hand.
“If you’re confident, come by!”
Sssssseu!
But her left hand was being forced to move. She turned her head in surprise and saw that her left hand was wrapped around something that looked like a vague whip and was being forcibly pulled towards her magic sword.
‘this!’
In the distance, I saw a lich giggling while using black magic. Her hand touched the magic sword.
“!!”
The surroundings became distorted and my vision turned black. I couldn’t think or come up with anything.
Just before her reason was conquered by the magic sword.
Boom!
My body swayed greatly. For a split-second, she slipped on the ice spread beneath her feet, lost her balance, and hit her butt hard.
As her hand naturally let go of the handle of the magic sword, Meilin regained
her senses and came to her senses.
‘it’s okay!’
I never thought my experience of slipping on ice so many times would be so
helpful. Meirin raised her body, admiring her own ingenuity in putting ice under her feet just as she was about to touch her magic sword. Even though her butt was a little sore, it was a great achievement.
[Ⳗⴠⴀ!]
When the lich became furious and swung his staff, a jet-black whip rose up and wrapped around Meilin’s body once again. It seemed like she was almost planning to force him to touch her magic sword, but Meilin hastily cast her magic with a martial chant.
Wow!
Her body was frozen in ice.
Hahaha!
The ice broke and shattered the whip that was wrapped around her.
At the same time, soldiers from the 1st Corps were also flocking in, but the linkage was not yet over.
Countless points of flame flickered between the ice fragments.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
It exploded. Pieces of ice flew out in all directions, tearing the armor of approaching soldiers or forcing them to raise their shields and stop their charge.
‘There’s nothing to be afraid of as long as you turn on the Elemental Master!’
Kiiiiing!
The light of the four elements shimmered and began to envelop her entire body. Aurora flowed from the magic circle in the sky and woven a large-brimmed
witch’s hat on her head.
‘Up to the cane in one go!’
Hot!
But this time, Lich’s arm came out directly from the floor and grabbed Meylin’s arm.
He was quite persistent from earlier. The lich once again tried to force her arm to reach the handle of her magic sword.
‘Pfft!’
I let my guard down. I didn’t think about this because I was using Elemental Master. The moment when her expression was colored with fear and despair.
-Meylin!
Simon’s voice appeared in my head. Meilin’s eyes widened.
‘Simon?’
That moment.
Everything in this world was tangled up.
The spears of the soldiers of the 1st Legion who were swarming around, the arrows flying, the arms of the large lich, all were cut off and flying in the sky.
The moment when the intangible cloak flapped loudly, soaring into the air and then coming back down.
Slap! Cut it out!
Coo!
Everything was crawling on the floor.
How could I forget?
That back.
A large back covered in a cape. It was something I had imagined over and over again.
‘Pion?’
Sssssssssssssssssssssssstt
This time, a huge subspace opens in the sky like the gates of hell. Beyond that, all the undead of the 7th Legion, screaming in anger, pour out in black color
and deal with the undead of the 1st Legion around them.
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Fion lightly swung the Great Sword of Destruction and tore apart all the arrows of light pouring in, then threw the lump of magicite in his hand into the sky.
Immediately, the dragon’s head shot out from the smoke, swallowed it, and sprayed its dark blue breath everywhere.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The approaching soldiers of the 1st Corps burst into flames, and the entire tomb was devastated. Beyond the fire-breathing dragon, Ancient Undeads fly up
with flashing eyes to deal with the elites of the 1st Legion.
Only 10 seconds since we arrived.
During that time, they quickly took control of the battlefield. Meylin shivered
her body.
Sigh.
At that time, the corps commander turned his head and looked at Meilin. Creepy red eyes emanate from beyond the skull helmet.
Meilin couldn’t move.
“I… … !”
Meilin was about to say something, but the corps commander threw himself at her.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
In an attempt to target Maylin’s back, he persistently raised himself from the ground and kicked the skull of the lich.
The skull falls to the floor and the Legionnaire tramples on it.
Quack!
One kick causes a huge crack.
Quick!
Clud!
The skull was completely shattered by two kicks. Without stopping, I continued to step on the summoning magic circle until it disappeared without a trace.
Meilin stared blankly at that unreasonable tyrant-like figure.
‘Pion is really Simon?’
Even though I know the truth, I can’t help but be dazed.
At that moment, the corps commander approached, scattering his life. That was when Meilin took a step back without realizing it.
Hot!
The corps commander hugged Meilin’s body.
“!!”
Meilin’s shoulders trembled.
It wasn’t because I was afraid. The embrace was warm and cozy, like a lie.
[never -]
Even that bloody voice sounds warm now.
[Don’t do this operation that risks your life.]
Simon Pollentia.
And peon.
Finally, all those images overlapped and firecrackers exploded in Meilin’s head.
Something I couldn’t do when we met before.
This time, Meirin lifts her fingertips and pushes Pier’s helmet up. The first thing you see is his sharp jawline. Her handsome lips and prominent nose are finally revealed.
Simon’s eyes full of worry are fully revealed.
She answered with tears in her eyes.
“huh!”
