Episode 142
The Spirits of the Mausoleum (2)
Steel arrow.
Because iron arrows can easily break due to the cold weather unique to the North, they are made using a unique smelting method.
Because of this, many groups in the empire also tended to avoid the Steel City in the North.
Because the steel sword that ‘destroys’ anything it touches was the natural enemy of elite soldiers.
But Troyvan was competing with hundreds of such steel poems here.
It was easy to guess why that refining method had spread to the East just by looking at the current situation.
“Shoot-!”
Shh …
At the commander’s command, steel poured down like a shower.
“Umbra!”
Keeeeek!
Umbra flapped her wings widely and flew higher into the sky.
I could see the steel ball barely making contact and falling, but the enemy’s attack wasn’t over yet.
“Magic Legion, forward-!”
Chew chew chew!
All over the encirclement, beings wearing robes pulled down over their heads could be seen.
Mumble, mumble.
As they simultaneously aimed their staffs into the air and chanted something, this time fireballs rained down from the sky.
“I heard that Matap is on Troyvan’s side… …!”
“These kids, they seem to be well prepared!”
“There are too many.”
If there is Archduke Ragnar in the North, there is Troyvan and the Magic Tower in the East.
Although the Magic Tower may be small in number, it is not something that can be ignored as it has the special ability to use magic.
Arin and Shelford simultaneously launched their sword blasts into the air, and Ray condensed the surrounding air, barely managing to push aside the magic that had not yet been removed.
But as it was, it was too much.
It seems that they have prepared for aerial combat in case Ragnar steals Cassandra away.
Especially when the second encirclement was revealed after the first encirclement, even the easygoing Shelford ended up looking exhausted.
“Those guys… … Are they really going to end it here?”
A giant ballista was waiting in a fan-shaped formation.
Anti-aircraft crossbow.
Recently, as the Baek Gap Yong Gi Unit’s performance in the Northern War became more prominent, it was said that Troyban had hastily created it in response.
No matter how thick the dragon’s armor was, if it got hit by that arrow, it would be finished.
The problem is that there are usually only ten or so on the battlefield, but there are too many here.
‘What should I do?’
Shelford felt a chill down his spine.
Usually, ballistas are installed on the ground, so it is difficult for knights to deal with them directly, so separate inspectors deal with them instead.
But now it’s hard to do that, so I was wondering what to do.
“I’ll be back soon.”
“Theo, what are you talking about!”
“That ballista is different from what you know, senior.”
“what?”
“That thing was made entirely for the sole purpose of hunting the Baek Gap Yonggi. Not only is the arrowhead equipped with an explosion spell, but the shaft is also engraved with a simple tracking spell that can even change the angle.”
“… … !”
Shelford’s eyes widened.
“So please send it.”
“… … How on earth do you know that?”
“It was in the information that told me to be careful in Heukseol. I didn’t know it would come out already.”
It was an excuse made up because it couldn’t be said that he knew about it with future knowledge, but it seemed pretty plausible.
“How do you want to join?”
“Don’t you know me?”
What answer could be more certain than this?
Eventually, Shelford sighed and replied, “Please,” and Theo thanked him and released the telekinetic chains.
The attempted landing point is Ballista.
Theo used his telekinetic powers to wrap himself around her, safely slowing her down.
“This is an air raid! Get the author first!”
Following the order from the commander of the Ballista Legion who discovered Theo, the Legion guards fired their swords simultaneously.
Thump thump thump thump!
As he watched, Theo began to feel a magical resonance.
Steam rose over Theo’s body.
Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot! Pot!
The four deathbeats leapt into the air and transformed into brain dragons.
Kwarrrrrrrr-
Kururur!
There was a violent explosion and thick smoke spread out,
“Oh, did you get it done?”
“Hey! You shouldn’t say such unlucky things… …!”

Kwaaang!
Theo fell through the ranks of the escorting corps, swinging the Drake’s blade he was holding roughly.
The steam that had been leaking out along the black surface turned into a red flame and swept across the area.
Hurrruk!
The flames rippled out, sweeping away those nearby.
“Ahhhh!”
“Stop it!”
“He’s going for the ballista! Hold him so he can’t reach it!”
Troyban’s inspectors moved quickly.
As expected from Troyban, which has an advantage in screening, screening for wheeled vehicles was quickly put in place.
‘Is this a medical checkup?’
Black Jade.
As the name suggests, it was a sword technique specialized for dealing with high-ranking officials or elite groups, as it involved trapping enemies in a prison made of swords.
But there was something Troyvan didn’t know.
Theo not only possesses knowledge of the future, but he has also been immersed in black snow.
I already had some sort of destruction method in mind.
‘Go diagonally to the right for 15 meters, then turn at a 45 degree angle and go in for 40 meters, and the commander will appear… …!’
Of course, no matter how much Aegir you wear, it’s difficult to break through them all at once.
Overwhelming destructive power was needed.
[Hemorrhagic awakening begins.]
[All special abilities and strengthening abilities you have are temporarily increased.]
[All buffs start.]
[Time limit: 6 minutes.]
Theo had no intention of sustaining the Dragon Awakening for the full six minutes.
In such a complicated situation, I was more worried about what would happen after the awakening was over.
But if it’s just for a little while, it’ll be okay.
Kwarung! Kwarung! Kwarung!
“Ugh!”
“What power… … !”
Every time Theo swung his sword, a bolt of lightning would strike, either slicing his opponent through their armor or, if not, pushing them back significantly.
No matter how hard I tried to stop it, it wasn’t enough to overcome Theo’s [supernatural strength].
It was like a bull.
A bull that gets very excited at the sight of blood.
In addition, it was so easy to penetrate the smallest gaps in the examination that I had no time to do anything.
Phew!
Theo reached the ballista in one breath, striking the commander’s head.
There was no time to say anything to stop it.
Before that, his left hand had already pulled out the Moonlight Sword.
Blink!
A flash of light shattered the ballista.
He also cut down the upper bodies of the three escort inspectors he was protecting.
“Can’t you stop!”
As he was about to move to find the next ballista, three inspectors blocked Theo’s path.
Middle-aged people who look like triplets.
‘Karen’s Three Slayers?’
Theo knew who they were immediately.
A group of madmen who buried alive all the citizens of Karen City, one of Ragnar’s realms, after conquering it simply because the resistance was fierce.
It was a future crime that had not yet been committed, but I clearly remembered seeing it on the blacklist.
“Even if they are uncivilized northern savages, they can commit such a massacre… …!”
There was nothing more to hear.
Theo’s Dragon Blood Awakening period was not that long.
bang!
Patrick, who was in the lead, blocked Theo’s sword strike and his face turned bright red.
Even though it was a battlefield, he was angry at the rudeness of having his elder brother cut him off while he was speaking.
“This guy needs to be taught! I’ll break his limbs here and make him an example for Ragnar!”
The three people formed a formation and attempted to attack together.
‘There are three opponents. Then-!’
Theo struck the Drake’s Blade he was holding in his right hand into the ground and pulled out the Dragonslayer instead.
Srrrrung-
In his right hand he holds a balmung, and in his left hand he holds a moon-white sword.
I took a deep breath and took a deep breath.
As [spirituality] settled in both eyes, numerous paths were drawn in an instant.
My head was burning hot.
The inspiration from the Sword’s Beads once again led Theo down a new path.
A sword that stabs straight ahead.
Theo narrowly avoided the attack by slightly tilting his head to the side, then swung his sword horizontally.
A ray of light penetrated through the gaps between the parts of the armor Patrick was wearing.
An attack that would be impossible without the insight to seize the moment.
But the ray of light passed by so smoothly that it cut a handful of Patrick’s right elbow,
“Ugh!”
While Patrick hesitated for a moment in pain, the Moonback Sword aimed for the back of his left knee.
Choaaaak-
When the spine collapses, the balance is lost.
Patrick took advantage of the moment when he was swaying to one side and stabbed Balmung under the helmet.
Squeak!
Phew-
“Patrick!”
“Ragnarrrrr!”
It was just three sums.
The fact that Troyvan’s proud 5-star swordsman had his head cut off by Theo.
The other two, Parish and Blitzer, swung their swords fiercely on Theo’s left and right respectively.
but,
Chaeaaaaaang!
The two swords were blocked by the Balmung and Wolbaek swords respectively and did not move at all.
The two were startled by Theo’s [monstrous strength], which allowed him to simultaneously deal with the strength of two people by himself.
I thought he was agile just by looking at the sword he used to kill Patrick, but he also has this kind of strength?
Just then,
Boom! Boom!
Before they knew it, two death bits had cleverly slid into their blind spots and lodged themselves in the nape of their necks beneath their helmets.
“Fatal… … !”
“Where is that in war?”
With Theo’s laughter, Deathbit spit out brain dragons all at once.
Boom! Boom!
The thunderbolt blew up the upper bodies of Parish and Blitzer in one breath.
The surrounding prosecutors’ faces turned pale at the sight of his ugly appearance with only the lower half of his body remaining.
Kwarrrrung!
Woor-
Theo then attempted to advance, sweeping away the remaining inspectors and destroying the ballistas one by one.
Keeeeek!
A howl from the distant sky.
A smile appeared on Theo’s lips at Umbra’s signal that he had escaped safely.
But I still couldn’t let my guard down.
Theo tried to move again while checking the remaining awakening time.
however,
“Ahhh! Seriously! This guy and that guy! They just bother people! Why do they keep making me do this!”
There was a hand grabbing Theo’s nape from behind.
‘master!’
It was so secretive that I didn’t even know when it had arrived.
Theo also looked back in surprise, and saw a woman standing there with an expression on her face that said she was dying of annoyance.
Odd was the president of the Tulip Floriculture Association.
“It’s dangerous to stay here! Follow me!”
* * *
Theo followed Odd without much suspicion.
Odd seemed to be on good terms with Denglong.
Even though we didn’t know much about her, that alone was enough to make her credible.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to save my awakening.’
The total awakening time is approximately 4 minutes.
Just that alone made my body quite tired and walking very difficult.
“Anyway, this is the problem with you inspectors! How can you swing your sword without thinking about the consequences? Do you know where this is? It’s a place where the spirits of our ancestors are, spirits!”
Except that there are a lot of complaints.
“What if the mausoleum gets damaged? They don’t take responsibility for it properly. They’re sorry, and that’s it? They’re really bossy. And then they go around complaining to the cemetery keepers about their misuse of the budget! Oh! Flowers are so expensive these days, what do you want me to do about it?”
… … I think I should also add that there is too much to talk about.
‘Isn’t there blood coming out of your ears?’
Theo chuckled and changed the subject.
“Can I ask where you are going?”
Odd glared at Theo, realizing that he wasn’t listening to his lament, but soon replied with a pointed face.
They were moving quickly through an underground tunnel hidden by bushes, avoiding the encirclement.
“Mausoleum.”
“You mean you’re on your way to the union? Over there!”
“Isn’t it crazy?”
“then……?”
“The mausoleum there is just a place to enshrine the ancestral tablets. The ancestors are in a separate place. The remains must not be damaged.”
‘Ah, so that’s why you couldn’t feel the thought.’
Theo nodded, remembering that he had knocked on the tomb to see if he could learn the sword of his ancestors, but there was no response.
It seems that since there was no real harm in the first place, it was impossible to read the thoughts.
“It’s also an escape route for emergencies. Your colleagues are all hiding there, so kill some time and then leave.”
I wonder how the fight in the garden went.
In the complexly intertwined battlefield between Troyban and the Holy Magic Church, I was worried about Deungryong and Wellington’s safety and wanted to ask-
‘That’s… … ?’
“This is a real mausoleum.”
Theo was soon able to reach a large underground cavern.
A place where 299 coffins are neatly arranged.
Tulips were in full bloom all around it, giving off a rich fragrance.
As if welcoming Theo.
and,
[I discovered a sanctuary with a strong scent of dragons.]
[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ is forcibly activated.]
-Huh?
-That guy, he seems to be watching us?
-Hey, does that make sense? How do the living see us?
-No. You made eye contact with me!
-What? Really?
Theo could see.
Numerous ghosts with translucent bodies staring at him intently.
