Episode 304 < Gray spider. (3) >
The spiders froze when they saw my smile.
“…….”
“…….”
I met a lot of people who have lived there for a long time.
Because you can overcome lifespan at the tower.
Here, there are humans who have survived for over a hundred years, and constellations like Hamustra that have traveled tens of thousands of years. I realized one thing while meeting them.
Fear is constant.
“I’m in trouble.”
I smiled brightly.
“If you stay still, I will leave first?”
Feet were faster than horses.
I ran out. Next moment. A spider that was hiding from the remains of a building let out a short moan, “Hi!” She and I looked into each other’s eyes. They were witches sprinkled with freckles. I smiled and pressed the spider’s acupuncture point to reassure him.
“ah… … .”
“No matter how much it feels like eternity, how much eternity is a thousand years?”
I hummed.
meaning?
does not exist.
“It takes ten days for the safflower to wither. “The fall of the Magic Tower just needed a thousand years.”
However, the spiders in this city are listening to every word that comes out of my mouth.
You will desperately try to find meaning in my words.
That’s it. If I can confuse them even a little, I will gladly recite Zen questions in the guise of leisure.
“ah. I should have come dressed in black. It was a historical scene where the Millennium Magician destroyed the Millennium Magic Tower, but I couldn’t stop paying attention to fashion. Well, it’s a small part. “I’m sure Master will be smiling too.”
“Retreat!”
A commander-level spider shouted as if spitting out blood.
“retreat! Retreat! 33rd Battalion, if it’s just for a moment, stop that monster!”
“Go back, where on earth…” … .”
“Assemble at headquarters! There is no answer to this! “An elder must step forward!”
When comparing objective power, Magic Tower still has the upper hand.
When the fight started, the number of enemies I defeated must have exceeded a hundred.
However, I only targeted and killed commander-level personnel one after another. The enemy’s command collapsed. The spiders, who depended entirely on sound for communication, lost the means to oppose me when the wide area communication network—the ‘spider web’ was torn.
[The constellations’ quests are in progress.]
[‘The Warhorse of the Eternal Plain’ orders the believers to advance!]
It meant breaking down each faction.
[Quest progress. ‘The Eye Dwelling in the Labyrinth’ reveals the enemy’s retreat route.]
[Quest progress. ‘Bells for the Dead’ post the identities of those who lost their lives in past rebellions throughout the city.]
[Quest progress. ‘The Incarnation of Love and Lust’ exposes the identities of spiders above the viscount level.]
As soon as it was determined that the campaign was moving forward, the Holy See immediately provided ‘appropriate compensation’ and ‘appropriate motivation’ to the believers.
The reason they have been unable to encourage believers so far is not because they have no intention of resisting the Magic Tower.
In the end, it is not the constellations in the night sky that clear the quest, but a human standing on the ground. Only when believers step forward will the constellation respond.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! “It’s killing me!”
And so a counteroffensive began throughout the city.
“I apologize for once treating you like a kid, Death King! How long has it been since you can freely use all sounds! Good, good, good! the best! I am the high priest of the constellation that you spider children buried in the 4th Headquarters, [The Whip for Self-tortures]! “He is an apostle [berserker]!”
The hunter who decided to rebel with me in that underground cave roared.
“Bring back my constellation sister! “You bastards!”
“… … Geomje, Geomje, they sang a song. I never thought it would be like this. To be honest, I was skeptical, but… okay. This might be my last chance. everyone. As Babit’s apostle, I give this order. It’s okay even if fighting isn’t your specialty. “Please rise up and die instantly.”
“That’s great.”
The sounds of both forces were reversed.
The spider webs that had formed a barrier over the exclusive city were dismantled one by one.
Voices that had been suppressed until now, representatives of numerous constellations took control of the city. From the north. From the west. From the south. Or east. In the open air lined with bars and taverns, blue, red, yellow, and white auras rang out like ripples. Waves overlapped and shook the sky above the city.
“Is it still to this day that I hide in the basement and whisper?”
Piuuuuk!
Something resembling a firecracker soared into the sky.
It was a blow that suppressed the aura. It wasn’t a sniper aimed at the commander like me. No, they weren’t targeting anyone in the first place. The fireworks headed to the ‘sky’.
And it split the base of the dark cloud.
It was weak. It was a weak blow. To the point where I feel sorry compared to the Constellation Killer. However, the value of a sword is always determined by the target the blade cuts, not by the strength of the sword hilt. In that sense, the fireworks launched by the apostle of the [Warhorse of the Eternal Plains] were undoubtedly precious.
“let’s go. Riders.”
Light leaked from the parted clouds.
“Follow the Death King and the successor of the Sword Emperor.”
The whole city erupted in cheers.
“You bastards!”
Some spiders were furious.
“We retreated because of him. Do you think we ran away because we were scared of you bastards? Where are the bugs talking without even knowing the topic? I was wondering where and what to do, so I decided to take a look, so I decided to pick someone as a wrapper… … .”
ah. There you are.
I threw a sword strike.
“Mother?!”
The spider’s voice jumped. The sound of a building collapsing was heard along with the sound of a spider running around.
“Hey, you bastard who doesn’t know any business ethics! Why hit people when they are talking, when they are talking! uh? My entire platoon was just blown away with that! I was dumbfounded, wow, are you really the successor of the Sword Emperor? yes? From now on, I’ve been just laughing! “It’s just Geomje who’s unlucky is overflowing from his face, ah, twins!”

I blew it one more time.
“f*ck!!”
The voice broke off after the scream.
The commander, who was caught off guard thinking that he would be punished just for sending out a warning, has already disappeared. The brave man who could not let go of the baton until the end even though he knew he was going to be defeated also disappeared. The idiot who said he knew he was going to get hurt but wanted to die after swearing had just left.
There is now only one role left.
“—okay. “I’m used to it.”
Only those who have the strength to let down their guard, hold a baton that they cannot let go of, and have the wit to not forget to swear until the very end.
“It feels like shit I’m used to. The face is different, but this unlucky thing reminds me of ‘that bastard’. Honestly, it’s amazing. “Even though the direction is completely different, it’s unlucky.”
I didn’t hesitate. I struck a blow towards the direction from which the voice came. And, kwaaaang! For the first time today, my attack was canceled out in midair.
“I want to ask.”
Far away. Clouds split by fireworks.
Her fingers were stretched out in a ray of sunlight.
“Where did you learn that shit?”
the back of the finger.
An expressionless expression still immersed in the shadows looked down at the ground.
The brim of the hat she wore was long and wide, leaving no gap for sunlight to penetrate.
“If there is a hospital that specializes in removing phlegm, please let me know. In my view, that is the root of all evil. “If you see baby cockroaches keep crawling out even when you step on them, there must be an academy somewhere that trains bugs.”
Elder.
Liberator of the witch tribe, Niglus-Kukulu.
The one who destroyed five races. The abandoned gray owner. Godslayer. The witch who nailed the six constellations. The greatest landowner. Lord of all spiders. Truly, a hunter with so many aliases that counting them becomes meaningless. Along with the already dead Sword Emperor and the already dead Constellation Killer, he is a human being whom even the Constellations hold in awe of.
“…….”
I smiled.
It doesn’t matter how many tinnitus the other person has. When she first met her, she had already decided in her mind what name to call her, from the moment she heard her old story from Bae Hu-ryeong.
“nice to see you. ‘The Gray Spider’.”
I called it as I had decided.
“I am the Death King.”
“…….”
Ha, there was a short laugh.
“King of Death? He is the leader of the underworld. Then you will end up in hell and become a king. Baby. “Why are you crawling out in such a harsh place and making a fuss?”
“ah. “Even if I’m alive, it’s hell, so there’s no need to go to the afterlife.”
“Looking at you, you don’t lose a word.”
“If I have three meals, are you saying that Gray Spider can eat two meals?”
“What… ……what?”
It seems that the elder was momentarily speechless.
I waved the holy sword and smiled.
“Joke. Joke. “A joke from the manager that will lighten the chilly atmosphere.”
“…….”
The elder pursed his lips, looked down at me with disdain, and then made an expression on his face that he realized something. It was quite a variety of facial expression changes. She held her cane with one hand and rested her forehead with her free hand.
“Jinseong is a idiot. f*ck… .”
I wonder why everyone I meet makes an expression of realization, as if the word that best describes me in the entire universe is ‘dwarf’, and this is such a mystery, such a mystery. Our friend, Kkoppittan Lee.
“Please understand.”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“Aren’t I the master of the Sword Emperor? When I try to imitate that person, I end up pretending to be an idiot using method acting. “It’s not usually like this.”
“You will never be that bastard’s successor.”
Hmm?
“I saw your sword skills. He was skilled at operating Auras. But it’s different from the Geomje bastard. I can feel the poison. Yes, you have poison in your heart.”
Even as he seemed to be speaking to me, the elder’s eyes looked around.
‘aha.’
indeed.
Now, the constellations are encouraging believers by setting up quests. However, that quest was established under the premise that I was [the successor to the Sword Emperor]. If the story goes as if I had nothing to do with Geomje, I have no choice but to stop the quest immediately starting with [Incarnation of Love and Lust].
So the elder speaks so that everyone can hear.
‘You’re smart.’
An attack that really gets to the point.
The elder clicked his tongue.
“Do people who use swords call them Jeongpai or Sapai? I can see that I’m not interested. Death King. You immature little boy. You are a child who walks the evil path. The meaning of the sword itself is completely opposite, so how can you be the successor of the Sword Emperor? “So much.”
I could feel the believers being silent. They stopped, or continued the battle, and listened to the words exchanged between the elder and me across the sky.
[‘The personification of love and lust’ makes an embarrassed expression.]
Also the constellations.
“The Geomje is defeated.”
The sound of giggling laughter filled the air. When her elder laughed, the tail of her broom swayed slightly. As if laughing at the constellations’ commotion.
“Even if he left some money to raise his successor, let’s say he did. okay. There might be a disciple of that guy somewhere! But at least Death King, you are not a disciple.”
Should I wait a little longer?
“You inherited the will of the Geomje, so you are a full-blooded person? Geomje: What does that bastard mean? Could it be the Geomje’s will to rebel against our magic tower? under. “If we put it that way, tens of thousands of you are all descendants of the Sword Emperor!”
“…….”
little bit more.
“Things like trash. Constellations are always like that. Alas, there are no proper bastards among those who call themselves gods. Even though I know it’s not true. Even though I clearly know it won’t work, in order to somehow proceed with the campaign, I take a kid who is nothing and go crazy with the Geomje’s native pigs… … .”
“hi.”
okay.
“You sick people.”
It is now.
“You have to ventilate sometimes, but it’s not good for people to stay in their rooms all the time like you guys.”
Stop.
“Now, this is how I feel. “I’ll remodel it for free today.”
“…….”
“Originally, I should have laughed [chuckling] after this. Even though I’m a master of Amman method acting, I can’t laugh like that. “There are at least some qualities that humans should have, right?”
Sight.
I can feel your gaze.
The elder was looking at me. If our eyes truly meet, if only the mutual exploration becomes important, time stops while we make eye contact. And nothing else becomes unimportant.
Until a little while ago, the elder was focused on destroying us. speech. Provocation. Scheme. They are ready to find our weakest points and bite them relentlessly. The goal was to buy some time for the retreating spiders, make believers suspicious of the constellation, and ultimately win the war.
All of that became unimportant.
“hey.”
Among the countless names the other person has.
I said a nickname that only Geomje had ever mentioned.
“Grey.”
“…….”
“Are you still living like that?”
By showing the Geomje’s expression, the Geomje’s tone of voice, and the Geomje’s smile.
“What happened to you doesn’t change whether it’s a hundred years or a thousand years?”
“I think that’s a disease too. party. You’re basically putting the world at war. Do you think that if I change, I will lose to the world? From now on, I will call this disease the gray disease. “I know it with honor.”
“you.”
You, said the elder.
“you—-.”
“Giggles.”
“…….”
“Should I say so?”
I smiled.
“It’s a joke. Joke.”
“…….”
“how is it. “It was a little funny this time, right?”
And then I saw it.
A flow of magical power so great that the clouds hanging over the city swirl. Even the spiders retreating to the spire flinch, look back, and look up at the sky. The sight of the five spiers shaking and causing an earthquake throughout the city.
I’ve seen a lot of things.
“okay.”
Those things didn’t matter.
“I wanted to see those eyes.”
The moment the holy sword was lifted.
The magic power rushing through the sky attacked me all at once.
etc,
