Episode 667. The Returners of the Tower (3)
“Hey, everyone’s doing one thing at a time. Even in the worlds I’ve been to, there weren’t many with such ferocious magical powers.”
Clemence looked at each member one by one and let out an exclamation of admiration.
And so the conversation continued leisurely.
“But since you’re going to fight anyway, why don’t you take the time to introduce yourself before you fight? Someone said that it would be easier if you knew the name of the person you’re going to kill.”
Making idle chatter is not intended to build friendships.
The purpose would be to buy time for the remaining two unseen returnees to find clues to the Necronomicon.
“Ellis.”
“I was already starting to get annoyed by hearing that loud voice.”
[Ellis activates ‘Festival of Vampires’!]
Bats made of blood appeared one by one, and in an instant their number increased to thousands.
Vampire bats fill the sky.
What they were after was Clemence.
Puppupupupup…!
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!
The firepower was so overwhelming that it turned the entire spring water red.
The ground was turned into a wasteland, the canyon collapsed, and rock fragments poured down like a waterfall. As if that wasn’t enough, the remaining bats flew in flocks, looking to tear their next prey to pieces.
“Fairies… You’re aiming for them, right?”
“The mercy of the burden is not so great that it concerns the comfort of trivial things.”
Ellis turned her head away with a sour expression.
Anyway, it was a mistake to ask such a delicate favor of this ignorant vampire.
still.
Jinjo’s name is truly a great achievement.
“Cough… Cough!”
Clemence, who was in the middle of the blast, slowly got up, vomiting blood.
Although his entire body was covered in wounds, he was still breathing.
No, rather, his body trembled as if the attack just now was too good.
[The ‘magic of pleasure’ is charged due to intense pain.]
When pain exceeds a certain level, the brain secretes a large amount of adrenaline.
Before the mind collapses from unbearable pain, the body takes steps to protect itself.
and.
Clemence had the ability to transform that pleasure back into magic.
The more intense the pain you feel, the more powerful the magic you can unleash.
“Kyahahahaha! This is the first time I’ve seen guys this hot! More… more! Hot enough to burn my brain!”
“You’re not in your right mind.”
Cheon Yoo-seong frowned.
I wanted to say that you and he are essentially no different, but it was rising to the surface of my throat… .
I tried hard to hold it in.
There is no need to increase the number of enemies to two at this timing.
It was at that moment that a green light began to emanate from the ground.
[Clemence activates ‘Necropolis’ – ‘Screaming Earth’!]
Kookwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A terrifying energy poured out from the Great Mage’s staff.
Large-area skill with a large army.
The wide-area weapon that encompassed the entire spring caused terrible pain just by standing still in space.
“Ugh!”
“What, this kind of ability… .”
“It feels like my skin is being torn.”
Heavy groans came from here and there.
The power to inflict pain on everyone, including oneself, and then convert it into magical power and use it infinitely.
“Why doesn’t everyone know about this good thing and hate it so much? If you just get used to it, there’s nothing more thrilling than this. Haa… This is really the best.”
Clemence walked slowly with the aforementioned face.
He swung his staff again and green orbs appeared in succession in the air.
at the same time.
“Keeeeee!”
“Keeeeee!”
Small spheres were created from the mouths of the fairies that filled the air.
‘Fairy’s Breath’
It’s similar to Dragon’s Breath in principle, but the power is much lower, but the problem is the numbers.
If thousands of lights were pointed this way at the same time, it would be hard to ignore.
“Kumaya!”
“Mo, mosquito!”
Goguma, who had driven everyone into a corner by eating the magic stones, stood in a hurry at the front of the group. His mouth was filled with the leftover magic stones, but he seemed to know that he had done something wrong, as he unleashed all the magic he had just consumed.
[Sweet potato activates ‘Breath’!]
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
Thousands of tiny lights and giant flames collided.
The storm caused by the impact changed the forest area once again.

Jinhyuk looked beyond the rising flames.
‘But it did offset it.’
As expected from a glutton, the magical power he has accumulated is considerable.
At this level, I should be able to do my part in the upcoming war against the ancient dragons and dragons. However, before I could catch my breath, Clement’s attacks continued.
Pupupupu!
Green spheres vaporized entire areas where the party was.
Acrid smoke rose from the ground hit by the acidic sphere.
[The breath of the fairies is activated again!]
If you take a beat, you will try to move from the other side again.
Besides, the problem wasn’t just the fairies and Clemence.
[Light Spirit King Raybolt activates ‘Eternal Chain Lightning’!]
Rybolt, who had been gathering magic power at the very back, released his ability.
Pachichik… Pachitsu!
Lightning strikes the ground.
Defense was only possible by instinctively moving in time with the timing of the ability’s activation, rather than by reporting and responding.
Of course, that is possible when you are in normal condition.
Now that my whole body is in excruciating pain due to Clemence’s ability, it’s bound to be difficult to make optimal movements.
Just one person.
Except for the homunculi that originally had the body of a doll.
Pok! Pok!
As Frey planted two spears into the ground, Chain Lightning shot up into the sky along the spears.
It was a precarious timing.
If I had allowed that one room, which took about 5 minutes to gather, someone would have been incapacitated.
“Good job, Frey.”
“… … .”
Frey nodded.
The corners of his mouth appear to be slightly twitching, but I must be mistaken. It is impossible for a homunculus to smile.
by the way.
“If this continues, there will be no end.”
“I agree. This is a typical pattern seen among those who are trying to stall for time.”
He bit his molars as he warded off the magic that was pouring down from the sky.
It seems like he’s really annoyed with the fact that he doesn’t give up easily and just spams his skills from afar.
“That’s right. Rather than trying to decide quickly, I think they’ll try to drag it out into a long-term battle.”
“Then what do you plan to do?”
“Ellis and I will take care of that perverted wizard, so can you go with Mr. Pesis to chase down the rest of the returnees?”
“You want me to deal with it before we find that clue or whatever.”
“That’s right.”
“But why do I have to chase after them like this? Won’t it make me look like I’m scared of Clemence or whatever?”
This proud bastard trips up over everything.
If you do as you are told, do you have a fatal disease?
The six characters came to mind up to the fourth verse, but Jinhyeok still managed his expression as best as he could and placed a hand on Cheon Yuseong’s shoulder.
“You’re the only one who can deal with two returnees. Besides, it’s much more difficult to find an enemy who’s deliberately hiding than one who’s right in front of you.”
His eyes, full of gunfire, turned to Cheon Yoo-seong.
A warm and firm feeling was also transmitted from the hand placed on my shoulder.
Only then did Cheon Yoo-seong smile with arrogance.
“Well, you might be limited to one person, but I can easily handle two. I don’t know about anything else, but I think I still have a good eye for people.”
Yes, yes, you are right.
… … Contrary to his inner thoughts, Jinhyeok nodded.
“Okay, I’ll take care of that.”
“Oh, and. The item I gave you in the forest earlier. If you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation, be sure to use it. Got it?”
“… … I’d rather die than use that item. Damn it! Didn’t I say that from the beginning that I wouldn’t accept it!”
“Hey. Here we go again. I’m sure there will be something helpful. Don’t be so judgmental, and use it when you feel the time is right.”
“Tch! Take care of your front end.”
Cheon Yoo-seong took with him the spirits who could help in the chase, as well as Pesis, Jack Eden, and Behemoth.
“Oh my. How can I ignore such a pretty lady?”
Clemence immediately struck Cheon Yoo-seong with a hammer as he tried to escape from the Necropolis.
Woohoo!
Dozens of turquoise spheres blinked.
[Special skill ‘Divine Empire’s Resentment’ is activated!]
The pain and sorrow felt by those he has killed. That sphere is condensed into that. If it even touches him, the memories of torture that hundreds of thousands of people have experienced will be replayed in the target.
That moment.
Choke choke choke choke…!
The blades, which had grown to dozens, cut through the sphere and passed through Clemence’s body.
Pufferpuck!
A fountain of blood spurted out from the wound.
There was no visible trajectory of how the attack occurred.
“Ugh… Huh!?”
Clemence opened his eyes wide.
Jinhyeok opened his private sword and blocked Cheon Yu-seong’s retreat.
“You’d better focus on me. The pain you like. I can make you feel really sick before you die.”
“Don’t be so picky… Don’t be so picky. You want to kill me after conquering a world? Just because I hit you with this one punch?”
The madness in his eyes grew even darker, as if what he had just said had scratched his pride.
The staff extended forward radiated magical power of a different dimension than before.
[Clemence activates his unique skill ‘Forgotton Empire’!]
Kukukukukukuku!
A once prosperous Holy Empire.
And then he brings all the dead there back to life once again.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
“For… His Majesty… the Emperor…”
A ridiculous number of undead legions began to slowly emerge from the ground.
It is an all-out war, mobilizing all types of monsters, including ordinary citizens, knights, magicians, and demons.
‘Is this the climax now?’
Jinhyuk opened a subspace.
Now is the time to pull out the hidden card you’ve been saving for this moment.
[Open the reward bundle for finding the returnee!]
The returnees are hard to even figure out the exact number of. Just finding them gave some rewards, and since we found Clemence and the other two returnees, there must be something pretty good in there.
‘I wonder what he’ll give me.’
I hope it will be of some help in battle.
1, [Copy Free Pass]
In return for finding three hard-to-find Returners, you will be able to copy one of the three Returners’ unique abilities or skills.
2, [Call of the Returnee ‘Medrey’]
A key figure who plays the most important role among the returnees. Medrey’s current location is unknown, but if you use this item, you will be able to summon Medrey to your side once. (However, whether you gain Medrey’s favor after being summoned depends entirely on the ability of the item user.)
shit.
When I say that I am in a happy situation, I am referring to the present moment.
Copy Free Pass and a face-to-face meeting with the key returnee, Medray.
Both were invaluable rewards in the current circumstances.
This means that it is impossible to decide on one easily.
The opportunity cost of giving up one, the utility of each reward, and the future impact of that choice.
There are dozens of things to consider.
however.
[The time available to select items is 0H:0M:29S from now.]
The time limit was f*cking small.
You have to make a choice.
And very quickly, too.
Fantasy, games,
