Chapter 62. Arrangement (3)
4.
The Giant King Largtan.
Immediately after identifying the Lord of the Abyss behind Arena Ludric, Noah frowned and pursed his lips.
A complexion that suddenly becomes shaded.
There is only one reason. This is because Largtan is the being involved in Ulan’s confirmed death.
‘Of course, Ulan is stronger now.’
Defeating Asteban, the number one monarch, is the clearest evidence of all.
Still, Noah felt uneasy for some reason, and Noah’s face darkened again.
On the other hand, is it because of the ever-changing complexion? Her companions who were watching her came to talk to her.
“Noah?”
“Are you okay? “My complexion is not good.”
“Are you worried about something?”
“… … it’s nothing. “I just suddenly started thinking a lot.”
Noah, out of his thoughts, shook his head.
Afterwards, she shared what she had just thought of with the group. There was speculation that the being behind Arena Rudric was Largtan.
Some time after that.
“Well, that certainly makes sense.”
Laurea shook her head.
It wasn’t just her. The other party members also responded in agreement with Noah’s guess.
At the same time, Ulan muttered softly.
“If I can capture a higher-ranking heretic, I will know if my guess is solid.”
“that’s right. The problem is that we can’t do that because the Ulan have eliminated all but one.”
Noah’s eyes narrowed.
In response, Ulan shook his head.
“As I said before, we haven’t eliminated everything.”
“yes? What does that mean… … .”
“Because there are still a lot of them up there.”
Ulan pointing to the top of the tower.
As soon as I listened, I could hear noise intermittently. It was proof that there was something above.
After exchanging glances with each other, Ulan and his group went up the stairs as if there was no need to delay.
How long has it been like that?
Sven, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He opened his palm towards Gon and the others, who perked up their pointed ears.
“Wait a minute.”
“hmm? “Why do you do that?”
“I saw something a little strange.”
Sven narrows his eyes.
After a while, Noah tilted his head as he watched him as if observing the top of the tower.
“What kind of sight is it?”
“Uh, I don’t know why I do that either… … .”
Sven blurted out his words.
But that was only for a moment, and Sven told the story of the scenery he discovered without leaving out a single detail.
“The heretics are fighting among themselves.”
“yes? “Are you heretics?”
“To be precise, it looks like they are arguing while confronting each other.”
Sven shrugged his shoulders.
On the other hand, did you suddenly become interested in the talk of a confrontation between pagans? Sirpi adjusted his glasses and looked at the view from the top floor.
“… … !”
Then he immediately opened his eyes.
It was with a surprised expression.
“Well, that person… … !”
“why? “Have you seen anyone you know?”
When Sven asked, Sirpi nodded silently. He then continued his explanation in a whisper with a stern expression on his face.
“… … “Last time, I revealed the people who were candidates for the next leader of the Desert Church, right?”
“It was like that.”
“It’s one of them.”
There were three candidates Sirpi mentioned at the time.
Among them, Arena Ludrick became the new cult leader, so of course he couldn’t be here.
Then there are two remaining candidates.
Ulan immediately asked back.
“What’s your name?”
“Muak Rudrik.”
The moment I heard Sirpi’s answer.
The story I heard from her the other day naturally passed through my mind.
A man with outstanding qualities as a warrior.
At the same time, he was the person who was said to be closest to the next religious leader among the three candidates.

He, a candidate for the new leader of the Desert Church, returned to being an ordinary warrior. This was because he was pushed out of the competition for the position of the next religious leader.
Around the time I calmly admitted defeat.
Suddenly, I learned something unexpected.
That his successor, Arena Rudric, who competed with him until the very end, committed fraud.
It was a fatal injustice that even violated the church’s doctrine and covenant.
‘Abyss.’
Arena Rudric contacted the Abyss, a force that must be absolutely rejected by the church, and borrowed their power.
It was unclear how the process was accomplished, but it was clear that the power of the abyss had been borrowed.
Immediately after realizing this fact.
Muak immediately intervened in the situation. In order for Arena Ludric to reveal her infidelity and to let her know that she is not worthy of being the leader of her cult.
‘but… … .’
In conclusion, it was a failure.
The reason was simple. This is because Arena Ludrick’s power and influence were so great.
And one more thing.
There was a traitor inside. As a result, Muak was treated as a criminal and chased, and he quickly became a fugitive.
However, since he could not just run away, Muak prepared a counterattack while also trying to hinder Arena Ludrick’s purpose.
Eventually, this was finally achieved.
Arena By acquiring the real ‘Chest of Seal’ that Ludrick had been searching for so long.
‘That woman is crazy.’
The sealed box he secured is the last bastion to prevent the 7-day disaster from repeating itself.
The sound of Arena Rudric joining hands with the Abyss and moving toward this goal has only one meaning.
‘Re-introducing the 7-day disaster.’
Once Muak found out about this, he couldn’t stay still. So after he secured the Sealing Chest, he planned to flee out of the desert.
But the plan failed.
Because it was tracked faster than I thought.
“Mu, Muak!”
“The way down is cut off!”
To make matters worse, even the retreat route disappeared.
Muak and his companions, who were isolated near the top of the tower, hastily formed a formation. It was to greet the pursuers.
After a while, after some time has passed.
A group of people chasing after them appeared. It was a group of dozens of pagans wearing black robes.
Moreover, next to the group of pagans was a monster with a bizarre shape.
‘Monster of the Abyss.’
Terrible monsters summoned by Arena Rudric, who ascended to the position of cult leader. As Muak glared at them, a familiar voice was heard.
“Now the game of tag is over.”
“… … “Rather.”
A man who was at the forefront of the heretics.
Raden Bolat was a person who had a sworn brotherly relationship with Muak, but at the same time, he was a traitor who recently left him and sided with Arena Rudric.
Meanwhile, Raden, who was facing Muak, waved his hand with a relaxed expression on his face.
“Stop giving up and hand over the sealed box. Are you really planning to go against the leader’s will?”
“That woman is not the leader of the cult!”
“Tsk, that’s not like you, Muak. “A warrior must also know how to admit defeat.”
Seeing Muak’s strong denial, Raden clicked his tongue once. However, Muak countered this with undiminished spirit.
“How can someone who has not been recognized by the divine beast of the cult be recognized as the cult leader?”
Is it because he violated the doctrine of the Desert Church and colluded with the Abyss? Or was he never qualified to begin with?
Arena Rudrick did not receive any choice or recognition from his family, who were called the sacred beast of the church.
‘So of course I thought I would be pushed out as a candidate, but I never thought I would cooperate with the abyss.’
After reminiscing about the past days.
Muak gritted his teeth.
“That’s not all! “From the moment she summoned a monster from the abyss and manipulated her, she has no right to even be called a member of the church!”
It’s hard to stop the angry anger.
Raden’s face crumpled.
“What a woman. Be careful what you say, Muak!”
“It’s true! “You monster of the abyss, are you planning to break the oath passed down from our ancestors?!”
Muak fights back without losing.
But at that moment.
“I think so.”
“W-what?”
An unexpected answer came back.
Muak asked again with his eyes wide open, and Raden let out a dry sigh. Then he looked into her empty space with somewhat empty eyes.
“It’s been a thousand years. “For a thousand years after the kingdom that had blossomed into a brilliant civilization fell, we had to stay in this damn desert.”
“that… … .”
“Now the desert is over. “Now that the last remaining oasis is drying up, continuing to stay in the desert is like saying you’re going to die.”
So we have to get out of the desert.
Even to survive.
To do so, you will inevitably have to go to war with countries bordering the desert, and to win, you will need a force much stronger than them.
and-.
Arena Ludrick meets the conditions.
That’s why Raden betrayed Muak and swore loyalty to her. For the future of the denomination, free from the constraints from the past.
“No matter how important your ancestors’ oath and maintenance are, if you lose your life, it is all in vain. “Because there is nothing more important than life.”
Muak closed his mouth in response to the confident answer. After a moment of silence, Raden extended his hand towards Muak again.
“So, hand over the sealing box. “I am speaking for the last time out of respect for our past.”
“… … .”
No answer came back.
Radden waited calmly. You might be thinking about the answer. After some time had passed, Muak’s mouth opened.
“Raden, my old brother.”
An unwavering voice.
Unperturbed eyes.
Muak continued his answer with a firm look, as if he had made a decision.
“Just as you said there is nothing more important than life, there is something more important to me too.”
“hmm? “What is that?”
“Oath.”
Muak growled fiercely.
“As a blood relative of Kazan Ludrik, I must keep what my ancestors said. “This is more important to me than life.”
In other words, it means that he will not follow Raden’s suggestion.
Radden sighed deeply with a confused expression on Muak’s choice.
“Whew, is this really what happens?”
“Come. “I’m going to hang out with you one last time.”
Carrying the sealed box on his back.
Muak held two strange-looking swords in his hands. It was a curved sword, a weapon mainly used by desert warriors.
“Okay, now it’s goodbye.”
Raden also nodded slowly.
However, he did not come forward. Instead, he just snaps his fingers. Then the monsters of the abyss, who had been waiting with the heretics, walked out.
“Goodbye, Muak.”
Monsters with grotesque gaping mouths.
Muak held onto Gokdo with a solemn expression as he seemed ready to attack at any moment. Just as he was about to burn his life.
Crack!
Suddenly an eerie sound was heard.
The sound of bones crunching. The sound of flesh being torn and heads exploding. The sounds of limbs being torn out and blood and flesh pouring could be heard overlapping.
“… … uh?”
Soon, I blinked my eyes once.
The scenery before my eyes changed. As if what I had just heard wasn’t a mistake, the heretics and monsters were torn to pieces and rolled around on the floor.
At that moment, the accident stopped.
Because I didn’t understand what had just happened. Then, a being I had never seen before came into view.
“… … .”
It was a man holding an ax dripping with blood.
He completely removed his upper body and looked at Muak silently among the corpses.
When we exchanged such strange glances.
“hello.”
Suddenly a clear voice was heard.
When I reflexively turned my head, a girl with black hair appeared there. At first glance, he looked like he came from outside the desert.
“It’s about the conversation we just had. “I’d like to hear more details. Is that okay?”
Noah Darshen.
She approached, stepping on a puddle of blood, and smiled brightly at Muak, who had a blank expression on his face.
With a notice disguised as an offer.
