Episode 127 < Demonic landscape. (3) >

“… … indeed.”
The Constellation Killer nodded.
“I understand the logic of your actions. You saw that it was impossible to defeat me with your own strength, so you brought in a foreign power. We decided that a beginner who appears to have just arrived at the 50th floor cannot mobilize external forces… .”
Even as the Constellation Killer spoke, countless meteor showers were tearing through the gray sky. Sigh! Fireworks shot from an extremely distant place. It was an attack made up of thousands of streams of enormous magical power.
“It was my error.”
The meteor shower came faster and faster. However, the Constellation Killer was indifferent. With an indifferent look, he began to scribble with a fountain pen and write something in his diary.
“From now on, when responding to beginners, we will keep the intervention of powerful foreign powers in mind.”
“crazy! “Bounce!”
“Did the spider chicks take medicine as a group?!”
The surrounding hunters reacted faster than the Constellation Killer. Pot! Faaah! I tore up instantaneous scrolls here and there, as if they were essential items for hunters living on the 50th floor. The bald bartender did the same and screamed at us right before he ran away.
“hey! Constellation Killer! This time too, the cost of remodeling will be on you, so don’t forget to write it down! “You have to pay for the scroll!”
“i get it.”
widely.
“Your entry has been completed.”
The Constellation Killer closed the diary.
“According to my promise, from now on I will do my best to protect the stranger.”
Finally, the meteor shower arrived right in front of us. Quang! bang! The meteor shower destroyed the streets like an indiscriminate bombardment. Just as the storm of destruction was about to hit the open-air bar, a hand grabbed my wrist.
“Maximizing sight and hearing. In return, I throw away [1 hour] of my memories.”
The Constellation Killer muttered.
And then an amazing stunt was performed.
The Constellation Killer dodged the barrage of meteor showers, which were so numerous that they covered the sky, with only a slight movement of his footsteps. One step. Two steps. Every time he pulled me in and moved, a meteor shower passed right by.
-Ah?
An angry voice rang out from the sky.
-Hey, you zodiac sign lover! Why are you interfering? go away! The guy you’re with right now has a grudge against our magic tower! Unless you want to make a fuss with the Great Staff, just disappear!
“first of all. “I ask for a solution through dialogue.”
The Constellation Killer waved his right hand. Then, the dust cloud created by the meteor shower cleared all at once. The Constellation Killer himself and I were completely fine.
-What a f*cking conversation! Get out, idiot!
“I must protect the strangers here no matter what. Protection means ensuring the integrity of a stranger’s body and mind. “There is no room for compromise here.”
The Constellation Killer took out the notebook again with his left hand and read it.
“The Magic Tower is an extremely selfish group. Because they are selfish, they can negotiate based on their own interests and losses. I am a being who can cause you serious harm. Negotiate.”
-That guy is our enemy and the enemy of Buddhism! You are the enemy of fire, nine, great, and heaven!
“All problems can be solved through rational conversation.”
-hey! hey! Guys! If anyone knows how much memory the Constellation Killer has, please report it!
In the sky, tens of thousands of wizards were riding on broomsticks. One of them answered.
-This is Hong Hong-seok, a member of the permanent surveillance team! Leader! The Constellation Killer’s memories currently remain for 7 days!
-f*ck, why did you fill it up for a full week?
The sound of teeth grinding spread out.
-Does not matter! Cut out all the constellation lovers! As of now, the Magic Tower is in a state of general mobilization! From the first to the fifth finger, everyone belonging to the Magic Tower must hunt down the Sword Emperor and the Constellation Killer! Say it again, you bastards! This is a general mobilization order!
“… Negotiations broke down.”
The Constellation Killer muttered.
The diary he was holding in his left hand flipped over.
“Search, Magic Tower. Additional search, battle. Detailed search, destruction law.”
The Constellation Killer glanced at the diary. And he nodded. He took out a rubber band – a yellow rubber band that you can buy cheaply in the outside world – and tied his long silver hair together.
“…….”
I watched the Constellation Killer slowly tying his hair right next to me. In terms of time, it probably only took 2 seconds. However, I knew that the movement was a ritual and ritual that the Constellation Killer had little left.
“The battle begins now.”
-Kill him!!
And from the sky, tens of thousands of wizards rushed forward.
-The bannermen are surrounded!
Not all enemy forces charged.
-Singers, sing from the back!
-yes!
The formation of wizards unfolded in the gray sky. The formation resembled a huge ring. Hundreds of wizards formed five rings and began to sing in chorus.
A six-layered melody rang out.
-oh.
Bae Hu-ryeong said.
-It’s been a while since I saw you? That’s a similar window.
‘Are you a similar voice?’
-There are five spires built over there. Each constellation is sealed in the basement of the tower. Well, the word is sealing, but it is actually confinement. Anyway, the power of the sealed constellations is embodied in a song and borrowed, but the effect is… .
[warning. You are designated as the target of AoE.]
[warning. The power of the aura you emit is halved!]
[warning. The power of your magic is halved!]
[warning. The power of your mental defense is halved!]
[warning. Any penalties you receive are doubled.]
Bae Hu-ryeong nodded.
-hmm. The effect is kind of shit.

‘crazy?’
-That thing is called a spider web. That’s why their nickname is Spider.
Indeed, it was a group of monsters that had reigned on the 50th floor of the tower for over a thousand years. Wouldn’t the power be drastically reduced before the fight even starts? Bae Hu-ryeong, who tore that spider web 150 years ago… It must have been a monster that surpassed monsters.
“—blow. enforce.”
There is only one human who fought against that monster. It’s right in front of me.
“In return, I give up my memories of the beauty of sunsets.”
Suddenly, a sword was summoned to the Constellation Killer’s right hand.
One step.
The Constellation Killer swung his sword lightly as if he was dancing.
The air split.
It was closer to a typhoon than a sword strike. The blue aura split the gray sky in two. One of the six rings in the sky was caught in a typhoon.
-Again, reorganize! Reorganize!
-Retreat!
Hundreds of wizards fell screaming. There was also a wizard who fell to the ground because he could not hold a broom. The cone hats thrown by the wizards fluttered like black flower petals.
[The aggravated penalty effect is restored.]
However, the Constellation Killer did not stop.
A blunt voice flowed from his lips.
“Strengthening the blow. In return, I throw away the memory of the sound of rain falling from the sky.”
The sky was torn apart again.
[The power of the halved auror is restored!]
-That crazy guy! You idiot! Constellation lover!
-Destroy the thumb ring! Destroy the index finger ring! It’s hard to stay in line!
-Wed, pick up! After all, fighting the Constellation Killer for a full week is reckless!
-You damn zodiac sign lover! That’s enough, so shut up and charge! charge!
The wizards shot fireballs. A chunk of ice was thrown out. Tree roots and weeds quickly grew on the ground where the Constellation Killer and I were standing, stopping us. The air was boiling. The jungle grew thick. The fog spread out and covered the view. So many magics and miracles, too many to even mention, struck the two of us.
and.
“Strengthen the blow.”
The Constellation Killer held a diary in one hand and a sword in the other.
“In return, you give up the memories of children’s smiles.”
All magic and miracles were torn away.
[The halved magic power is restored!]
[The power of mental defense has been halved!]
[The wide area designation is canceled.]
The fireball was destroyed. The chunk of ice split. Tree roots were cut and weeds rotted. A blue breeze swirled in the air, and the jungle disappeared. In the world after the fog cleared, wizards were groaning.
-Destroy the middle ring! Ring finger ring destroyed! Soji ring, destroyed!
-All the sacred spears have been shredded, leader!
-That guy is attacking exactly at the weak points of the rings?!
-f*ck… ! Some idiot sold all the confidential information… !
I blankly watched the war unfolding right in front of me.
The wizards attacked tenaciously. But it was no use. The Constellation Killer fought, throwing away memories of the drink he had just had, the memory of the street he walked on yesterday, and other trivial memories.
Just one hunter faced tens of thousands of wizards.
-How do you feel? It’s the complete opposite of your fighting style, right?
Bae Hu-ryeong laughed heartily.
-What the Constellation Killer uses is a type of magical skill. Zombie, the Demon Heavenly Demonic Art you use relies on memory. Memories of hunger, memories of loneliness… The Constellation Killer is the opposite. He [throws away his memory].
A magician who is the exact opposite of me.
-Take a close look. Because it’s a level fight that you too will experience someday.
The Constellation Killer’s fighting methods were calm but brutal.
“I abandon the memory of taking a walk under a gentle sky.”
He threw away the memories he kept one by one. The Constellation Killer’s tone was simple and his sword strokes were simple. In that sense, his fight was calm.
“When humans are in pain, they abandon the tone of their barking screams.”
However, each memory the Constellation Killer discarded was by no means light. As the fight lasted, the memories the Constellation Killer held were opened, like boxes being opened one after another. It was Pandora’s box. A box whose contents evaporate once opened.
-The Constellation Killer lives with a week’s worth of memories at the longest and a day’s worth at the shortest.
Bae Hu-ryeong said.
-I rarely retain memories for more than a week. Because that guy, every time he accumulates a week’s worth, he goes off to hunt a constellation. To hunt a constellation, just one week of memory is enough.
“…….”
-Did you say you have amnesia? Strictly speaking, it’s wrong. That guy sacrifices his memories to do his job.
that.
To be more precise, it was to burn one’s life.
[Twinkle can’t bear to watch its former owner fight.]
My holy sword trembled.
[Glitter reminisces. In the past, the previous owner didn’t fight like that. I don’t know when or why it became like that.]
Before we knew it, the magic tower’s army of wizards was exhausted.
All of the circular rings have long been destroyed.
At first, they formed a strict formation and repeatedly attacked the Constellation Killer… Has that reached its limit? The ranks collapsed. Wizards only sporadically participated in attacks.
-Su, leader. Look at that. The Constellation Killer can’t do it in just one week… .
-Because it’s the character we declared… .
-If you apply more magic power here, the damage will be enormous!
-The surveillance team has been making noise since a while ago. receipt. The constellations have sensed anomalies and are keeping a close eye on us. There is a high possibility that they will take advantage of our weakened position and launch an invasion.
-Pfft!
The person who appeared to be the leader of the wizards gritted his teeth and chewed. She took off her cone hat and crumpled it in her left hand. The wizard glared at me with tremendous anger in his eyes.
-Geomje… Geomje, Geomje, Geomje!!
-oh my. The popularity of this body does not fade even after death.
Bae Hu-ryeong shrugged his shoulders.
-Look, it’s a zombie. This is why it’s a problem even if a person is too smart.
-I know very well that you formed an alliance with the Constellation Killer! Look forward to it! We, the Magic Tower, will stop at nothing to hunt you down! Right now it’s just a power struggle, but next time, for sure!
The wizards looked fed up.
-Wow… Leader, that’s a typical line from a loser who runs away… .
-quiet. Don’t touch the receipt now. Turns into a frog and gets eaten.
-I will definitely destroy you!!
When the wizards all scattered and turned their heads, the Constellation Killer opened his mouth.
“wait. “Magic tower lord.”
-What!
“I still have memories equivalent to 23 hours. If you spend 22 hours to strengthen your strike, it is possible to destroy one of your spires.”
-… … Are you threatening us now?
“Yes.”
The Constellation Killer casually affirmed.
“According to my records, Lord Magic Tower, you are a person who is extremely concerned about face. The fact that they couldn’t get rid of me by issuing a general mobilization order was a pretty painful loss. But nothing compares to losing the spire. Consider my threat.”
-…….
The magic tower owner’s face was distorted like a goblin.
“For the next week, it is prohibited to attack or manipulate me and this man in any way. Attacks and operations refer to all actions and accidents that cause harm to us. Both indirect and direct methods are prohibited, and when subjective judgment is necessary, we are designated as the person exercising that subjective judgment. Therefore, your control does not allow it.”
-These f*cking swordsmen are in pairs… .
“I’ll threaten you again. “Accept the one-week ceasefire agreement.”
The Constellation Killer grabbed his sword.
“If you don’t accept it, I will tear it down.”
Silence fell over the devastated wasteland.
-you… . Please know that your name has been added to the death list of the Magic Tower.
“Do you agree to the ceasefire agreement?”
At the same time as the sound of clicking one’s tongue, a piece of paper was summoned in front of the Constellation Killer’s eyes. It was a contract that sparkled in gold. Sal Cheonseong read the contract with an indifferent look, then took out his fountain pen and signed.
“Satisfactory negotiation. “Go away now.”
-When I kill the Geomje, I will bury him together. Constellation Killer.
“I will keep a clear record of your hostility.”
-Sigh!
The wizards spun their broomsticks. Like a swarm of locusts in autumn, they covered the sky and slowly moved away.
The surroundings became quiet.
There was no one around here except the Constellation Killer and me.
The Constellation Killer turned and looked at me.
“I have fulfilled my promise to you. gentile.”
“…….”
“But from what I have observed of you, I have fallen into a trap. Although the battle was won, a week’s worth of memories were reduced to one day’s worth. Power was greatly reduced. “This kind of weakening of power is probably your intended target.”
The Constellation Killer described his situation calmly.
As if you were talking about someone else.
– Confucius.
Bae Hu-ryeong’s voice became lower.
-Don’t fall. Right now, that guy is deliberately talking to you to waste as much time as possible. Don’t see that guy as a human being. He’s like a weapon that moves strictly according to the information he inputs.
‘yes.’
I held the holy sword.
‘I know.’
And then I glared at the Constellation Killer.
“you’re right. “I will take you down.”
“On the other hand, I cannot attack you according to my promise. It is only possible to dodge or block your attacks. …It’s a dangerous situation. “If you are the Sword Emperor himself or the predecessor of the Sword Emperor, as the Mage Tower said, it will be particularly dangerous.”
“My name is Death King. “She is the leader of the Demonic Cult and the wife of Duke Ivansia.”
The Constellation Killer opened the diary and wrote some words. It has my name written down. The Constellation Killer moved his fountain pen and asked me a question.
“What is the Demonic Cult?”
“The sword that answers every scream.”
“What is Sogyoju?”
“It is the sword that is swung first.”
“What is the Death King?”
I raised my red aura.
“This is the name of the person who will collect you.”
This time I asked.
“The Constellation Killer. Do you have any memories of starving?”
“It’s written in the diary. However, if it is limited to the memories I intuit, there are none. “I have no memory of starvation.”
I nodded.
“That will be your defeat.”
And then he rushed in.
etc,
