Episode 124
Battleship Base (Battleship Base), as the name and legend say, was a place where half-wrecked battleships were converted into bases.
Even though the waist was cut off, I couldn’t believe that it was bigger than the site of
Is this the warship of the gods? … .
“The leader wants to meet you.”
However, even though ancient equipment could have been borrowed, the technology could not be used.
The entrance that Prisvia’s subordinate showed us through looked extremely shabby compared to the grandeur of the base. It was merely a temporary door attached to a crack in the waterline of the ship.
“flaw.”
As we crossed the entrance door, a space elaborately constructed of steel appeared, where Prisvia was waiting for us.
“You came in obediently when I asked you to come in. Are you fearless, naive, or are you planning another sinister plan?”
Prisvia, with her inorganic cynicism, was dressed in plain clothes unlike before.
As she got closer and closer to the military base, Kasena, who had been cheering absent-mindedly, seemed to have lost her voice for a moment, as if she was overwhelmed by its majesty.
What does that mean… … As I was considering Prisvia’s intentions, Kassena’s eyes shined brightly.
“Are you really Prisvia? “I really wanted to meet you at least once!”
“?”
“I’ve seen it in books again and again! “I heard that he analyzed ancient ruins and technologies found in Harbadonia and taught them to people!”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Then Prisvia let out her unique, terrifying laugh that made the opponent feel hostile.
“I needed some money at that time. If I hand over the skills I no longer need, stupid people will give me money, saying it’s sponsorship or support… … Hehehe.”
“huh… … ?”
When Cassena blinked in embarrassment, I joined the conversation.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to talk about that right now.”
I thought Prisvia was looking at me with cold eyes, but she turned around, smiling through her nose.
“I guess they came to bewitch me just like they bewitched the beastman and the wolf. I know everything. “I’m also a little interested in how they tricked me.”
“… … .”
“If you want to talk, follow me. “This is not a good place to talk.”
Frustrating impatience was spreading to every corner of the cell, but for now, I had to bend down. Because the decision-making authority for this agreement was with Prisvia, not us.
“Do you believe in God?”
Prisvia suddenly asked as she put her foot on the iron stairs going up.
“We demi-humans are rational enough to cry, we don’t believe in God. “Hmm, the only thing I believe in is science and technology that I can see.”
“… … ?”
“Can we understand the meaning behind the fact that we reverence and worship
A steel staircase led to a workshop located on the lower deck, and the interior was illuminated by lighting that was far inferior to that of the ship’s structure.
As soon as we entered there, we had goosebumps all over our bodies.
There were huge flasks lined up all over the place, and the flasks containing humans and animals were filled with an unidentifiable culture solution.
“The technological prowess of
“… … ?”
“You may have heard this briefly as a blessing, that the gods gave the beastman the strength to face the abyss, but in reality, it is not.”
Prisvia gave a horrifying cynicism and struck one of the flasks roughly as if it might break, but there was not a single crack on the glass surface.
“The race of beastmen can be said to be biological weapons created through biological experiments. “This was the laboratory.”
What on earth is that… … ?
As I couldn’t understand and just blinked, Prisvia pointed at the row of flasks over there.
A cold chill ran down my spine. Like stuffed specimens, human bodies with the traits of animals added to them wriggled in the culture medium.
“therefore… … Do you want to say that
“Hehe, it’s also true that you had what you call miracles, maybe. Not only that, but it also means that it has the technical skills to match its power. “This is the treasure trove.”
Prisvia soon passed through the engine room and climbed onto the deck through the second iron staircase.
On the deck, there was a structure that was not the size of a ship’s bridge but comparable in size to the size of our Bellewynn mansion. It was said to be the control room of the military ship base and Prisvia was using it as a private room.
As soon as I opened the door, the strange yet disgusting stench of chemicals pierced my nose. At that moment, Kasena was startled and grabbed my arm tightly.
“Sorry, the corpse smells a bit strong, right? Hehehe.”
Prisvia looked back at us with a cold cynicism.
There were dead bodies everywhere… … Some were covered in tarps, and many were cut into pieces or had their organs removed on the dissecting table.
There were beasts, humans, and just animals, and the cruel sight was enough to instantly put the entire body into a fighting stance.
“What on earth are you doing here?!”
“It’s no big deal, hehehehe. “I was just experimenting to create a biological weapon, just like Karenden did.”
Prisvia began to sequentially put on the mechanical armor that was placed in a corner of the room. Chestplate, backplate, underplate, greaves… … .
“It’s a shame that I wasn’t able to succeed. In fact, we haven’t even been able to properly look into even 10% of the technology available here.”
“… … ?”
“But you lured the ancient being here and now we have to abandon this base? “You sent the prisoners here, so you must have decided that they could use me as they please, right?”
Prisvia’s tearful smile had thorns so vicious that it made her whole body cringe.
“Well, that’s not it… … ! Now, this is an emergency! “I think you should get all the help you can get!”
“Without getting the other person’s consent? The logic of your actions doesn’t make sense at all? Huh, then they should have just taken the beastmen to the wall from the beginning. “Negotiation with the wolves comes later.”
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut because I couldn’t raise a counterargument. Because it is true that such thoughts were at the base of the judgment… … .
“I’m glad Alakish is dead. “Hmm, even now, if I had stayed next to you to protect you, I wouldn’t have been able to vent my anger.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Hehehe, hehehehe, didn’t you know? No, actually, it’s a face that you knew but denied? After all, humans are not rational.”
Prisvia was glaring at me, the color fading from her face, and the corners of her mouth were torn even longer, so that it now seemed as if her ears were torn.
“What, what nonsense! Alakish is not dead! “It’s alive!”
Prisvia continued to look at me, ignoring Cassena’s fierce opposition.

“Human kid, why do you think I gave you that basket? huh?”
“Well, that’s… … I thought it was a hindrance, a hindrance, so… … “Because we have to fight with all our might.”
“Hehehe, Alakish has never removed that dragon egg from his body. Ever since I came here, 20 years ago. But he gave it to you, who you just met?”
It looks at me without blinking, its eyes as deep and black as a cavity. Those eyes, it felt like invisible tentacles were crawling out of those eyes and strangling my breathing… … I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.
“I decided I couldn’t win. He was sure he was going to die here. Heh, they say true dragons see the future with an intuition of fate.”
“… … .”
“Why are you acting desperate? Hehehehehe, you actually knew it too.”
My chest began to throb and ache, and my breathing began to slow down on its own.
That smile of Alakish that I saw at the end… … And an ominous premonition that kept raising its head in my mind, but I was forced to ignore… … .
It felt like the basket of dragon eggs I was carrying on my back was indescribably heavy.
“Or what, you pretended not to know because you didn’t want to admit that you left it behind?”
Before I knew it, Kassena grabbed the wrist of Prisvia, who had come closer and grabbed my chin and forced eye contact.
“Just one more time, tell me that nonsense like Alakish is dead… … “I won’t leave you alone, I won’t leave you alone!”
Prisvia let go of my chin and looked back at Kasena, who was half in tears, as if she was intrigued.
“I won’t leave it alone, how can I not leave it alone? I wish I could show you something. “I’m just saying this because I’m really curious.”
When Prisvia put on the optical helmet, the gears of the mechanical armor clicked together as if in resonance, spewing out bitter steam.
OK… … My heart trembled with an overwhelming feeling that made every muscle and bone in my body tremble.
The blatant killing spewed out by a platinum-ranked first-place being, that is, the second-strongest adventurer in existence, was not something that Kassena could handle.
“Show me everything you can. That way, you won’t have any regrets after you die.”
“what… … ?”
“Now is the time to start noticing it, right? Hehe, I’m going to break your necks right here. “It’s been a long time since I felt really angry.”
That was the moment when the vague anxiety and suspicion I had felt since coming here became reality… … Cassena and I took a step back almost at the same time.
not good.
It’s really not good.
I’m not afraid of fighting Prisvia. Even though I’m not sure I’ll win… … The problem is that the real enemy is different.
“You are a descendant of Emmitsa, right? “Hmm, it’s the genes of the being that Karenden cherished, so I’d like to take a good look at its insides.”
As a strange weapon shaped like an arrowhead protruded from the wrist of the mechanical armor Prisvia wore, cold sweat rolled down her face.
what?
What weapon are you using?
If you don’t know what weapon your opponent is using, you have no choice but to improvise how to deal with it. But Prisvia knows that we are wizards, which means she knows the laws of opposition.
“Start with the weak side first.”
With a thud, the sound of the copper plates on the deck collapsing, Prisvia rushed forward so fast that it left an afterimage and struck Kassena’s face.
It’s so scary────!
However, the hand of death was repelled by a fierce howling electric shock that spread out as a blue force field.
“miss!”
At that very moment, it was due to the lightning barrier that Rain had created with his beastman, and Lane immediately pulled Cassena back and launched a fireball.
“Hmm?”
Instead of dodging the fireball, Prisvia struck it with any equipment attached to the gauntlet… … My eyes opened wide.
What is that?
A fireball exploded helplessly in a collision with a gauntlet with dozens of small rotating teeth. It only left black soot on the surface, but there was no effective hit.
“This is the first time a wizard has responded to my speed.”
Damn it, I don’t have time for this… … It was a time when a fierce, breathtaking battle of unity was about to move on to the next.
– Warning, warning, user risk detected.
I thought I could hear the strangely old-fashioned mechanical sound of a woman wearing gore chains, then googung, googong… … A red emergency light came on on the ceiling of the control room.
– Activation of institutions, operation of defense control facilities.
At the end of the era of the gods, it was the moment when Byongseon Base, which had been sleeping in this snowy field for eternity, awakened.
More than a hundred windows appeared on the long table that Prisbia used as a dissecting table, allowing perfect 360-degree surveillance of the outside of the base.
If it looks familiar, it seems like there was something similar in Backbone’s command and control room… … .
– There is a lack of omnidirectional power to activate the engine. Please link the celestial core.
At that moment, a dazzling black light burst through my fur clothes from a corner of my chest, and at the same time, I felt an unbearable heat.
I was so shocked that I pulled it out… … That was the black sheep. As soon as I did that, Kasena started acting similar to me and looked at me blankly.
As I watched Prisvia looking at this whole situation in wonder, I made a decision with some trepidation.
It is now.
It’s just now.
If there is ever a chance to turn this powerful enemy into a reliable ally, now is the only time.
“Make a deal with me, Prisvia.”
