Chapter 62. Arrangement (1)
One.
Largtan, king of the giants.
He sat on the large throne and gazed intently at Arena Ludric, who was lying face down in front of him.
Then he quickly kissed his lips.
【I will ask. Apostle of burden.】
Blue eyes that shine brightly even in the pitch-black darkness. At that cold gaze, Arena unconsciously shook her shoulders.
【How far has the excavation progressed?】
As soon as the word “excavation” was finished, Arena’s eyes sparkled. This was because I had already come here to report this.
“yes! According to reports, about half of the tower has been excavated, and excavation of the remaining tower will be completed soon!”
Immediately after becoming an apostle of Largtan.
The first order Arena received was to find the ‘towers’ scattered throughout the desert.
The towers Largtan spoke of were seven in total, buried deep beneath the desert sand, and whose identities were unknown.
‘But this isn’t really important.’
The important thing is that Largtan ordered us to find the tower. In response, Arena mobilized all of her strength and obeyed his orders.
It was natural. Because the reason she was able to become the new leader of the Desert Cult was thanks to her cooperation with Largtan.
【Then what is the meaning of the seal?】
At that time, Largtan spoke again.
The seal box refers to a small box stored on the top floor of the aforementioned tower.
And this box was the fundamental reason why Largtan came to the tower. That’s why Arena answered with sincerity this time.
“Currently, we have secured three ships, and the fourth ship is expected to arrive soon as exploration is underway in the excavated tower.”
As Arena’s report ended, Largtan’s expressionless face cracked.
【excellent. Apostle of burden.】
The corners of the mouth were torn thinly and turned upward.
It was a very satisfying smile.
【Is there any other help you need?】
“What my master has given me so far is already a blessing in disguise.”
Arena shook her head as if it was absurd and bowed her head politely again.
“Thanks to the king’s gift of precious magical beasts, our church was able to leave the barren desert and migrate to fertile land.”
In addition to making Arena the new leader of the church, Largtan also provided various assistance.
One of them is what allows you to control the monsters that exist beyond the abyss.
Thanks to this, Arena was able to see the world outside the desert that they had only dreamed of.
【is it. i get it. Even if you don’t need it right now, if there’s anything you need Jim’s help with, don’t be afraid to tell me at any time.】
“yes! “Thank you for your favor.”
A smile spread across Arena’s face.
It was with an expression of emotion.
Some time after that.
Arena turned and left the basement. The temple floor, which had been moving like an elevator, went to the ground, and the cavity was once again filled with darkness.
The interior is filled with silence.
Then, suddenly, Largtan’s voice touched his lips and broke the silence.
【―Albaric.】
The one who calls someone’s name.
Then, a while later, someone appeared from behind the throne with pounding footsteps.
Giants armed with axes and shields.
Although he was slightly smaller than Largtan, he was still quite large among the giants.
【Did you call me, King?】
Albaric prostrates himself in front of the throne.
He is the assault leader of Largtan’s army and one of the giant’s descendants.
Furthermore, he was also the person in charge of communication with other monarchs. Therefore, Largtan wasted no time in revealing the reason for calling Albaric.
【Have you heard from Lacus yet?】
【Sorry, but that’s right.】
Astevan, Lord of the Immortals.
At the point when he, who was number one in the ranking of monarchs, vanished in vain in the eastern jungle, contact with Lacus, who had been active up to that point, was suddenly cut off.
Meanwhile, when Largtan closed his mouth without saying a word after hearing the answer, Albaric caught a glimpse of him and spoke cautiously.
【King. If you have anything special to say, I will contact you again.】
【―No, it would be pointless.】
But then.
Suddenly Largtan shook his head.
Then, as if he had guessed everything, he muttered with bright blue eyes.
【The fact that there has been no contact so far probably means that he has finally revealed his ambition.】
【yes? If you say it’s ambition… … ?】
【Becoming the only abyss.】
【───?!】
Right after Largtan finished speaking.
Albaric opened his eyes wide.
Then, his face turned red and he shouted loudly as if he were enraged.
【Nonsense! How can there be an abyss with only one eyeball that has no ability other than to hide and watch insidiously… … !】
【There is a possibility. Currently, the only kings of the abyss left in the world are Jim and Lacus.】

The one and only abyss. Or a true abyss.
Just as humans pursue wealth and fame, this is the ultimate goal pursued by the Lords of the Abyss.
To achieve this goal, competitors first need to disappear. This refers to other Abyss Lords other than myself.
【So if Jim disappears, he is very close to the true abyss.】
Largtan burst out laughing.
It was a laugh.
【But there’s something he doesn’t know.】
【That means… … ?】
【Of course, in order to become a true abyss, it is important to have no competitors, but there is something more important than that.】
【Well, what is that?】
When Albaric asked, Largtan twisted the corners of his mouth and smiled grotesquely. With his eyes asking what was so obvious, he answered softly.
【overwhelming power.】
Suddenly he spread his arms wide.
Largtan raised his outstretched arms high in the sky, ready to embrace the whole world, and shouted as he glared at the ceiling of the cave.
【It is such an overwhelming power that even the noble stars in the sky are afraid! It is the path that brings you closest to the true abyss.】
The reason he came here with his army even though the door to the abyss had not yet been opened was not just because he was persuaded by Lacus.
The overwhelming power just mentioned.
He came here to take it before any other monarch. Largtan laughed, his eyes shining with greed.
【So the guy crouching outside the desert can never defeat Jim.】
After saying a confident word, Largtan tightly clenched his outstretched hand in the air.
【If that day comes someday, I will be the first to go get his eyeballs.】
Like grabbing a snatched eyeball and popping it.
A smile appeared on his lips.
It was a very cruel laugh.
2.
Meanwhile, around that time.
Ulan and his party came down the sand hill and headed towards the entrance of Zartoum’s tower.
But the moment I got close to my destination, I saw something that I had never seen before on the hill.
“what?”
“That can’t be… … .”
A group gathered near the entrance of the tower.
It was Urkaban, the monster of the abyss, a black wall writhing like a creature and dozens of heretics.
At that time, the group was not the only ones encountering strangers. The pagans also flinched as if belatedly discovering the Ulan group.
“… … !”
A hesitation containing a hint of hesitation.
This was a signal of inevitable defeat.
This is because there was someone who did not miss the opportunity to dig in while they were in panic.
Bababababaak!
Rain of arrows pouring from the sky.
It was Sven’s first strike.
He showered the heretics with arrows, just as he did when he rescued Lieutenant Alec earlier.
“Keuheook!”
“Oops!”
“shit! Me, enemy… … !”
The heretics turn into hedgehogs and fall down.
In response to the sudden attack, the pagans tried to announce it with loud voices. However, Delia reacted much faster than that.
“Off! town!”
“Oops! Oh, the voice… … !”
A chain of brilliance.
Chains created from the star’s magic wrapped around the entire bodies of the pagans. Furthermore, they even covered their mouths, making it impossible for them to even scream.
And that moment.
An angry death has arrived.
──!
With a sound like numerous balloons popping all at once, the heads of dozens of cultists were torn apart in the blink of an eye.
It wasn’t just them.
The monster of the abyss, the Urca Peninsula, was torn apart and turned into ashes, scattering in the air. I literally just blinked and the battle was over.
“… … uh?”
What did I just see?
Sirpi looked at the corpses of the heretics with blank eyes, as if he had no grasp of reality.
But that too for a while.
When she discovered the person at the center of the battle that ended in an instant, she finally recognized the person who created this scene.
‘Ulaanbaatar.’
A man shaking off blood from an axe.
The moment she recognized him, Sirpi realized.
Ulan activated his own domain and obliterated all enemies at a speed so fast that others could not even perceive it.
Sirpi was not the only one surprised by this sight.
Like Ulan, Ian, who had reached the level of master, also had a bewildered look on his face.
“Sir, is it true that the area has increased compared to the last time we dealt with Astevan?”
“It has increased.”
“Perhaps to some extent… … ?”
“Eighty-eight steps.”
Ian was speechless.
It was natural. His domain range is eight steps, and Cadel Dune Shanktus, who is said to be the strongest knight in the Holy Kingdom, has a domain of thirty steps.
In contrast, the scope of Ulan’s territory was truly ridiculously wide.
“… … “I was proud of how much I had grown, but I can’t even compare to you.”
In fact, the gap has widened so much that we can’t even think of catching up. Then Sven, who was retrieving the arrow, glanced at Ian and said.
“You have to compare what you want to compare. “We are ordinary people, and that guy is a monster.”
“Haha, that’s right.”
Ian nods his head in agreement.
However, in Sirpi’s opinion, the two were not ordinary either. They were all strong men who reached the level of masters at the age of less than twenty.
As the conversation was coming to an end, a voice was suddenly heard raising its voice.
“No, what if we get rid of everything!?”
It was Noah’s voice.
She looked at Ulan in bewilderment, and Ulan tilted his head and asked back.
“why? Is there any problem?”
“of course! “At best, I have to capture at least one person alive before I can ask you what you were doing here, where you got the Monster of the Abyss, and what this tower is!”
Noah shouted again.
On the other hand, Ulan waved his hand as if it was no big deal and responded.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry.”
“what are you saying… … !”
“Because there’s still some left in there.”
His hand pointed to the tower.
In fact, a number of presences were detected inside the tower that were incomparable to those outside. Even at a rough estimate, the number was at least hundreds.
“… … Ha, anyway, please capture at least one person after entering the tower. “I have a lot to ask about this and that.”
“Keep that in mind.”
After answering, Ulan kicked the tower door without hesitation. The door, unable to withstand the mighty force, flew off and landed inside.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga! Quaaaang!
A gaping entrance. The tower is filled with pagans.
After seeing this, there was no need for conversation.
It was the start of the second round.
