Episode 295 < Return of Geomje. (3) >

“you… … . “What on earth is it?”
A follower of Hamustra. [Assistant writer] immediately asked.
“It’s surprising that the Librarian of all things chose someone… . What is that awesome auror just now? skill? “How did you acquire those skills?”
“I’m just a newbie who arrived on the 50th floor yesterday.”
“Do not lie. “Where in the world is a newbie like you?”
“All companies are looking for new employees with experience like me.”
The assistant writer’s face was distorted like a sweet potato.
I shrugged.
“Let’s get out first. I’ve been having a headache since a while ago. “It seems like some annoying guys followed suit.”
“… … okay.”
The assistant writer reluctantly swallowed his words. I wanted to ask about this and that right away, but it felt like I was holding back due to the situation.
The other party members also moved quickly.
-Oooooh! Gooooh!
The hole I drilled. Demonic beasts poured out through the escape hatch we had just climbed out of.
A full-scale chase has begun.
“Hi!”
“Do, run away… ! hurry!”
The companions screamed. It seemed like he couldn’t even scream properly because he was already out of breath. Perhaps he had been imprisoned for so long that his physical strength had deteriorated.
“That’s right.”
I clicked my tongue in regret.
“Come here. Let me help you. “How can you survive in this harsh world with such stamina?”
“Yes, yes?”
I didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, he said, “Tsk,” and grabbed one of the believers by the back. It was lifted lightly.
It wasn’t difficult at all. Prison life takes many things away from a person. Those who lost their dignity for a long time felt that much lighter.
“Huh? uh?”
“Relax. Do you understand? “If you use too much force, you’ll get hurt for no reason.”
“Uh, uhm…….”
“Keep your mouth shut. “Don’t bite your tongue.”
I tightened my right arm with the same momentum I had when running.
“Hmph!”
And then threw it.
“to?”
I literally threw it.
Like a shot put athlete competing in the Olympics.
I shielded the believer I lifted with my right hand with aura and threw it forward.
“—-uh.”
Shindo flew away. In a slowly extended time. Above all, in the air.
It was an elegant posture, like a flamingo dancing on a zoo lake.
Shindo frantically waved his arms and legs, but as is the case in our lives, there was nothing in the air for Shindo to grasp. The only things that exist are nitrogen and oxygen.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?”
And there was also a scream that was one of the top five novelties I’ve ever heard in my life.
I clicked my tongue.
“I told you to keep your mouth shut, but you still do that.”
Coooooo!
Shindo flew and landed coolly. Some might call it a crash landing rather than a landing, but in the long run of life, there is actually no notable difference between the two.
“Okay, let’s go next.”
“yes?”
I grabbed the back of another believer’s back. It was simple. The believers looked up at the sky blankly, mesmerized by the sight of their fellow flamingos, and had no spirit to escape my touch.
“It’s dangerous, so keep your mouth shut.”
“yes? … … yes?”
“Hmm!”
“Uh, ik, uh, ahhh!?”
After that, it was played on repeat.
I picked the believers who were weak and threw them one by one. He then ran, grabbed the believers lying on the ground, and threw them back.
“Save me… … Please save me… … !”
“This is all for you to survive.”
Thanks to this, believers were able to sit still and move quickly despite having no strength. Even the demon beasts couldn’t keep up with our speed, so we got farther and farther away.
It was truly a mesmerizing dribble.
[The ‘lonely seeker’ is speechless at your behavior.]
[‘The eyes that dwell in the labyrinth’ realize that you are out of your mind.]
[‘Incarnation of Love and Lust’ is your favorite from now on.]
Local broadcasting is noisy.
-iced coffee! Microphone test! Microphone test!
How far did you run away? Finally, a familiar voice was heard from the direction of the Magic Tower.
Just yesterday, he was the spokesperson for the Tower of Magic, the person who publicly tortured the Hamustra believers.
-What the f*ck are you?

The spokesperson was fuming. His voice pinpointed me exactly and flew at me in full force. I, too, have finished preparing to return the answer in full voice.
-What kind of crazy bastard are you asking? Can’t you hear me?
“hello. you worked hard. “The weather is nice today.”
-You’re really crazy!?
Your answer to the question is harsh.
-you. Do you know who you touched? yes? yes?
“well. I’m not sure because he didn’t introduce himself. “Don’t you think that self-introduction is a very important etiquette in the world we live in?”
-Well, where did this crazy idiot suddenly come from… … . We are the magic tower! Magic Tower! A thousand years! Heavenly Demon Tower! We are the force that monopolizes the 50th floor, this great monopoly city!
The name of the city here was Monopoly City.
“yes. nice to see you.”
-Can’t you return them right away!?
“Oh, I’m sorry, but that might be a little difficult… . I heard your broadcast yesterday. I thought it was a bit too much. Even if we all live well together, life is a waste, so why do you mess with good Hamustra believers? Me. “I feel sorry for you, so I am helping you escape like this.”
-No, wow. Damn it. You really are a bitch.
The noise of the spokesperson kicking something was heard.
While I was appropriately provoking the other person, I was constantly looking for an escape route. The idea was to somehow pass the time.
If we return to our tower like this, we should be able to easily escape.
‘But most likely, the tail will be caught.’
I shook my head.
The Magic Tower is a force that has ruled this city for over 1,000 years. Even if you get beaten up, you will chase after him until the end and seek revenge.
Of course, the Sword Saint and Black Dragon Lord will be fully prepared to face an invasion from another world, but it is still right to avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible.
-Which constellation is it from? yes? I don’t know what constellation it is, but if you get caught, I’ll throw you a very heavy gun!
“I don’t serve any constellations. To put it bluntly, I will always have my beloved in my heart.”
-Ah-oh! Catch that guy and kick him right now! Anyone is welcome, please!
It was then.
“… … “Over there.”
The assistant writer followed me and said. While all the other believers had degenerated into flamingos, the assistant writer was the only one running at my own pace.
“No matter which world you are from, it is dangerous to run away there. “Not everyone in that world can be as strong as you.”
“I was thinking that too.”
“There is a secret hideout where our comrades are hiding. I’ll guide you there. … … “It’s a place that shouldn’t be disclosed to outsiders, but you came here after receiving a message from him.”
The assistant writer muttered.
“Grey. Cover us.”
At that moment, Top’s voice rang in my head.
[Some kind of skill affects you.]
I tilted my head. I didn’t feel any effect on my senses.
However, the spokesperson of the Magic Tower immediately became enraged, as it seemed to others other than the parties concerned.
– Damn it! Assistant writer! How dare you do something so crude… !
The sound has changed. The electric sound that had hit me in a straight line just a moment ago now began to echo in the sky, not in my head.
I wondered what was going on.
“It’s a skill that masks the presence of Aurors.”
An assistant writer spoke from the side.
“At the Magic Tower, they identify people using auras and send out a message. Because aurors are similar to human fingerprints… . From now on, the Constellations will not be able to talk to us for a while.”
“Hoo.”
It was true. The constellations that were noisy on local broadcasts suddenly became quiet.
In short, the assistant writer activated a kind of [stealth] technique.
“But you can’t cover up the physical part. … … thank you. “Thanks to you helping me escape here, I was able to use my skills with peace of mind.”
“That’s amazing. “It’s a pretty convenient skill.”
“In my opinion, the really amazing thing is you… .”
The assistant writer smiled bitterly.
“This skill doesn’t last long either. Follow me, the [main character] of this story. “I will guide you to our hideout.”
-I will kill you!
The spokesperson’s voice boomed from behind me.
-You may be a smartass, but let’s see if you can keep your smarts even if you get caught by us! Yes! I’ll tear my nails into small pieces and stuff them into your eyeballs, and Charumu! Hey, you saw everything on there!
“History… .”
The magical boy who had been quietly following us hiccuped.
-You probably know what happens to the words of a traitor. aha! But you will realize how ignorant you were. Because, uh! Because you are about to set a new record, far exceeding the punishment that traitors have received so far!
“Ugh… Ugh… ”
-Look forward to it!
Bang, a sound rang out. The spokesperson appeared to have hit the table.
-The worst massacre of all of you! no! I will give you the worst eternal life! Absolutely! certainly!
4.
We safely escaped pursuit.
“Here.”
The place the assistant writer guided us to was an underground cave.
“As you know, the 50th floor is eroded by void poison. The earth itself has strong magical properties. The deeper we go underground, the stronger the noise gets, so even the spiders in the Magic Tower can’t catch us properly. “It’s a natural fortress.”
As the assistant writer said, the secret hideout extended very deep underground. Without any lights.
“Is there only one entrance?”
I illuminated the aura at the tip of my finger and used it as a light. The believers carefully walked down the aisle, using my lights as a source of light.
“no. There are many places. “There are 14 exits that I know of, and there are probably 23 times more passages that I don’t know about.”
“It’s huge.”
“what. That way, if an invasion occurs, each person can escape on their own… .”
It is said that even the Magic Tower knows about the existence of this hideout and invades from time to time. However, the underground cave was so vast that it went beyond imagination, and there were countless entrances and exits, so it was virtually impossible to carry out a complete sweep.
“…….”
There were eyes watching us from the other side of the dark cave.
“… … They are librarians… … .”
“Why did you come back? “How did you come back?”
“Shh, don’t pay attention… .”
They were people of shabby appearance. As if they had made a home in one corner of the cave, miscellaneous household tools were lying around nearby. There was also a dirty tent spread out to avoid the dew that had formed on the ceiling.
Every time I walked down the cave passage, there were people like that, and their household items were lying around.
“… … “This is a common refuge.”
The assistant writer must have known that I was curious about their identities, so I told them.
“A communal shelter?”
“okay. Not only the director’s librarians like us, but almost all hunters who lost their constellations live here. It’s difficult to live long because the poison is strong… . Still, it’s better than being caught in a magic tower and being experimented on.”
indeed.
Now I see that the tents of the cave residents also included small statues of gods.
I also saw someone who had set up a small altar and placed a statue of a god on it.
“Outside, they call us [fugitives]. what… . Even though our situations are similar, there is no sense of homogeneity. Rather, I hate it. “They serve different constellations, and each person thinks his or her constellation is the best.”
“I think I understand.”
“Do you see this in your world as well? but. The world is all the same. Okay, this way. “Even if you do this, each constellation you serve has a strictly separate area, so you cannot go anywhere else.”
As I was looking around, following the guide.
“……huh?”
Something strange caught my eye.
For a moment, I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I had seen something wrong. I cleared out my eyes, paid attention once again, strengthened my eyesight with aura, and looked clearly at [something] I had just seen.
“…….”
But my vision was normal.
One corner of the cave.
There was a different passageway leading to the direction we were walking. [Something] I noticed was right on both sides of the passage. There were carvings like the Four Heavenly Kings carved into Seokguram Grotto.
It was a statue with a face that was very familiar to me.
“huh?”
The assistant writer who was walking ahead stopped and looked back.
“what’s the matter?”
“no… … . I’m watching something in real time right now… .”
“What?”
The assistant writer also looked at what I was looking at.
She looked at [something] and then tilted her head.
“huh? “Why is that?”
As if it were a very familiar everyday scene.
“It’s just an ordinary [Sword Emperor] statue.”
“………….”
I fainted.
“oh. Be careful, intruder.”
If the magic boy right behind him hadn’t supported him, he would have collapsed.
“Oh, oh, Geomjesang? “Geomjesaaaaaang?”
“… … “What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“why. why. Why on earth is something like a sword engraved into a statue!?”
I grabbed the assistant writer’s shoulder and shook him. I couldn’t help but shake it. The assistant writer looked at me like a crazy person and then slapped the back of my hand.
“Why… . That’s right, the Sword Emperor is also a constellation. “Of course, there are people who worship Geomje.”
“Yessssss?”
“I don’t know why you’re so surprised… . Constellation of swords. The popular name Geomje is quite famous. One hundred and fifty years ago, when I was still human, I destroyed the Magic Tower. Well, like our Librarian, they say that the constellation did not create believers… . “There are followers everywhere.”
The assistant writer frowned.
“In particular, many people say that the followers of the Sword Emperor are fools who are crazy about nothingness. I’ve seen it a few times in passing, but I recommend not getting involved with it that much. What should I say… ? “It feels like the world we live in is a bit different.”
“……………………”
Sigh.
I slowly looked at Bae Hu-ryeong.
Bae Hu-ryeong had an expression that asked why he was making fun of me now.
-why?
‘Please explain.’
-Turn your card over.
‘Card? ‘What kind of card is this guy freezing to death?’
-My card. You crazy guy. This is my card that you stole from Grandpa Marcus.
I summoned a card.
I turned it over.
+
[Constellation of Swords]
Rank: A+
Effect: From another world. I cleared the 99th floor of the Tower of Another World, but was frustrated just before the 100th floor. That resentment remained, and he became Bae Hu-ryeong without being able to attain Buddhahood. Although it cannot physically interfere with this world, it is possible to interfere with its owner’s mind.
Ask his wealth of experience and amazing skills for advice!
※However, no one except the owner recognizes Bae Hu-ryeong.
※This skill is copied from Hunter Marcus Callenberry.
+
What is this?
-Look at the card name. Mr. Zombie.
I saw.
-Does the writing [Constellation of the Sword] reflect in your eyes or not?
“…….”
-Then am I a constellation or not? It’s a zombie whose brain has rotted away.
Holy crap.
Why didn’t you tell me?
-Because you didn’t ask?
Such a crazy double.
-And I said.
‘Uh, when?’
-Today, when you invade the Magic Tower. When you infiltrate using the secret passage I told you about. I told you this when I told you a story from the past.
[Yes. There was a deep meaning behind the Geomje’s destruction of the spire of the Magic Tower. Even if it is a force that dominates the 50th floor, it is not an eternal powerhouse! Anyone can be a traitor. The Geomje himself lifted up the sword to inform people like us of his noble intentions. Oh, praise him. From now on, we will be those who serve the Geomje, believers of the Geomje Church. We all follow him… … .]
-But you told me to stop talking and show the way.
“…….”
-I always recite only the truth. It’s a brain zombie. But you always belittle my true words as bullshit, saying that a Buddha’s eyes only see Buddha, and a zombie’s eyes only see zombies. Even now, deeply realize that this body is a great senior with upright character.
therefore.
‘There really is a Geomje Church in this world, and there are believers who serve you? real?’
-huh.
This world is crazy.
etc,
