Episode 376 < A place called Sanctuary. (1) >
One.
The Black Dragon Master’s words about converting were not a joke.
[You seek believers.]
[The Black Dragon Master becomes your believer.]
[Now you can grant protection and power to the Black Dragon Lord.]
We ask, “Are you really going to believe this?” “Yes” “Really?” The contract was signed simply by saying, “It’s real, so hurry up and sign the contract.” That was the end of it. There were no other procedures.
Is this how it originally came about haphazardly?
“Wow. It couldn’t possibly be like that… .”
[The cat with the gold coin in its mouth] looked at us with puzzled eyes.
“You didn’t even give me a skill card, but you signed a contract with me. This is ridiculous. “You guys are strange black people.”
“is it so?”
“yes. Above all, the Holy See and believers must trust each other. The believer must believe that the Constellation will not stab him in the back, and the Constellation must believe that the believer will not betray. And it requires a significant relationship between each other… … .”
I guess we belong to a unique case.
But to me, this felt normal. Not only was the Black Dragon Lord like this, but the Holy Knights and Counts also simply signed contracts to become believers.
“It’s not normal. bruise. “What kind of life have you been living?”
While the calico cat was looking bored, all preparations were completed.
The attack force gathered in the spacious garden of the shared lodgings. A total of 12 people. Among the vassals, Kim Yul, Esther, Uburka, Sylvia, and Simagun (Four Demons) were selected. Among the companions, the Black Dragon Master, Inquisitor, Viper, and Holy Knight participate.
There are 13 people including me.
It was a number that exactly corresponded 1:1 to the Constellation Killer’s murder dolls.
“… … “I think the world could end with just this member.”
Sylvia clicked her tongue as she looked around at the majesty of the raiding party.
To be honest, Silvia, Sima Jun, and the Holy Knights did not have the skills to deal with the Constellation Killer. However, it was possible to take some time off. While they hold out, I will quickly kill the murder dolls and go help them.
“The Constellation Killer is an enemy that can take down most worlds. I can’t help it. “If he hadn’t been a coward and used his numbers to push me, I would have fought fair and square, one-on-one.”
“Hey, matriarch. If the story I heard from Miss Esther is correct, the matriarch also said that when she defeated the demon lord, she hit him with a wooden spoon… .”
“great. Everyone is ready, right? Hey, Chamberlain Sylvia. Everyone else is ready to jump into battle, so why are you the only one messing around? “Get ready quickly.”
“f*ck. “It’s so dirty that I’m going to lose the title of chamberlain one day.”
Sylvia grumbled and stepped back.
I turned my gaze and looked down at the snake wrapped around my wrist.
“Hishmit kritz.”
“Kkieek.”
“Take the coordinates of the Constellation Killer.”
The snake bobbed its head and crawled out of my wrist. Feeling a slippery texture on the back of my hand, I walked towards Kim Yul.
And then he grabbed Kim Yul’s right hand.
[You are temporarily transferring ownership of ‘The Eye Dwelling in the Labyrinth.’]
Slurp.
The snake snake passed from my fingertips to Kim Yul’s fingers.
“……hmm.”
Kim Yul narrowed his eyebrows slightly, perhaps because the feel of snake scales was unfamiliar to him.
“It feels strange. My lungs feel a little stuffy. “Is this the feeling of being surrounded by constellations?”
“Ah yes. “It feels like a weight like a piece of paper has been added to my breath.”
“Yes. … … Has the matriarch always carried something like this?”
“Once you get used to it, it’s surprisingly comfortable.”
Kim Yul stared at me without saying anything. There was silence. Only the snake wrapped around his wrist made a series of soft, hissing sounds.
[‘The eyes that dwell in the labyrinth’ manifest power.]
[‘The Eye Dwelling in the Labyrinth’ explores the Constellation Killer’s sanctuary.]
[Searching.]
I closed my lips. Will Silbaem be able to find the Constellation Killer’s sanctuary? I assured myself that it was possible, but was it really possible?
Time passed for the candle wax to melt in the fire and a single drop to slip.
[Search completed.]
[‘The eyes that dwell in the labyrinth’ specify the sanctuary of the Constellation Killer.]
‘good.’
I let out a pause and exhaled. But it’s still too early to be relieved. The army, whose goal was to attack the fortress, has now discovered its location.
“do not worry. Gongja Kim.”
Kim Yul broke the silence and spoke.
“The enemy is not expecting our surprise attack. “This operation will definitely succeed.”
“… … yes. However, the Constellation Killer is a hunter who prepares for all situations. Even if he didn’t expect it, he probably has a manual for when Sanctuary is invaded.”
“I guess so. But you could never have prepared for [being invaded by yourself].”
Kim Yul took something out of his pocket.
hair tie. It was not the yellow rubber band that the bad guys had given him as a mockery, but the hair band I had given him as a gift when I accepted him as my vassal.
“The Constellation Killer definitely hesitated for a moment. What we need is that moment of time. “If you need a second, I’ll give you a second.”
Kim Yul tied his hair with a string. Tens of thousands of strands of his hair gathered into one strand. As if he had made up his mind with that, Kim Yul muttered quietly.
“send.”
Faaah!
Pure white light enveloped Kim Yul’s whole body. From the moment he disappeared in a halo of light, I started counting in my mind.
My lips were soft.
‘1 second.’
At this moment, Kim Yul must have arrived at the Constellation Killer’s sanctuary.

‘2 seconds.’
The Constellation Killer would have noticed the outside intruder and immediately set out to intercept it.
If you were an ordinary Constellation or Hunter, you would first be embarrassed by the fact that a sanctuary that had never allowed outsiders before was invaded. But the Constellation Killer doesn’t do that. It just moves according to the pre-entered manual.
‘3 seconds.’
However, the identity of the intruder is someone that no manual can dare to respond to. Because you are yourself.
Here, the Constellation Killer will stop intercepting for a moment and check whether the intruder is really the same person as him.
therefore.
‘4 seconds.’
Kim Yul will be able to keep his promise to me.
[Your apostle earnestly calls you.]
A voice rang in my head.
I increased my aura to the limit and extended my sense of time. No matter how time passed, the voices coming from the first basement level, isolated from all stages, flowed quietly.
[Your Apostle asks you to be where he is.]
[Do you want to descend?]
I didn’t hesitate even though it was my first time seeing a message. I deliberately opened my mouth and shouted in order to inform the raiders waiting nearby about my expedition.
“yes!”
A pitch-black shadow covered the instep.
If it had been like usual, I would have only recognized it as ‘a black light wrapped around me.’ However, in an extremely extended period of time, I was able to look into the details of the ‘black light’.
It resembles a human hand.
Human arms rose from the shadows. My fingers caught on my toes. A palm grabbed my ankle. Countless arms painted in black crawled up, just like noise.
‘…….’
There were countless hands, but somehow, I could distinguish all of the anonymous arms. separated. The hands and arms of the people who witnessed the trauma of my being killed so far were the embodiment.
Among them was Kim Yul’s hand.
I stretched out my arms and caught his plea.
[You respond to the call of the Apostle.]
Countless palms crawled up and covered my entire body.
[I am coming.]
So, I was buried in black hands and transferred.
‘6 seconds.’
What greeted me the next moment was a familiar, if familiar, landscape.
It was a garbage dump.
Out-of-season scrap metal and plastic that had vomited out its contents were just waiting for someone to pick it up. The trash formed a tomb because no one picked it up. To the horizon.
I was summoned from the sky and quickly fell, looking down at the garbage dump that stretched to the end of the world.
[You have entered the Constellation Killer’s sanctuary.]
The sunset was dazzling.
The setting sun beat down on me and illuminated the garbage dump on the ground.
‘7 seconds.’
Garbage was piled up in burial mounds, like the ancient tombs left in an old ruined city. The top of the huge tomb. Like a half-peeled tangerine, the plastic bottle had its label hanging loosely.
The plastic bottle label, which was originally blue, has faded to gray. The skin of the scrap metal was torn off, exposing the bare flesh.
In a place where all colors were fading and all iron objects were decadent, there were people with flowing silver hair and wielding silver iron swords.
They looked the same.
‘8 seconds.’
But they were never the same.
Twelve murder dolls were rushing towards one human. It was running. They sensed my presence at the same time and raised their heads in unison. As I fell from high above, 12 pairs of eyes met me.
I took out the holy sword.
‘9 seconds.’
And I muttered in my mouth.
[‘The sky that gathers screams’ calls the apostles and believers.]
[Multiple apostles respond to your call.]
[Multiple believers respond to your call.]
Jet black shadows formed around me as I was still descending from the sky.
[The apostle of ‘Sky Gathering Screams’ appears.]
[The believer of ‘Sky Gathering Screams’ is summoned.]
There were eleven shadows.
We fell violently like a meteorite, splitting into many fragments. A strong wind brushed my cheek.
My colleagues, who were initially buried in pitch-black shadows, peeled off their blackness as they were hit by the wind. Then bare faces were revealed. Some people blinked in wonder, some frowned at the strong headwind, and some looked down at the ground while holding the hilt of a sword.
“—-transition!”
And the Black Dragon Master used his abilities without hesitation.
The Black Dragon Master activated the instantaneous transfer skill to collect his fallen companions one by one. She was also a hunter with extensive knowledge of Aurors. The Black Dragon Master did not waste even a few seconds and tied up the 11-person raiding party hand to hand.
“Gongja Kim!”
The Black Dragon Master reached out to me one last time.
“catch!”
What would you hesitate for?
I grabbed the Black Dragon Master’s bare hand.
’15 seconds.’
The next moment, we were on the ground.
The Constellation Killer was taking a defensive stance in response to our appearance.
However, the time allowed to him was only 6 seconds.
At first, they laid out a siege to attack one person, Kim Yul, then they changed their formation to intercept me, and finally, they had to change their posture again to deal with 13 intruders.
’16 seconds.’
Three times in a row, situations that I was not prepared for came up.
Three times, the Constellation Killer deprived us of time to breathe.
’17 seconds.’
And we weren’t so weak that we couldn’t hunt down the person who gave us the opportunity three times.
Sigh!
First, my sword tore the murder doll apart. It was the doll that came closest to Kim Yul. One blow, two blows, three strikes, the sword was struck in three directions, crushing the flesh doll’s limbs.
“Woooooooo!”
The person who wielded the weapon after me was Uburka. Uburka swung his axe and chopped off both legs of another slaughter doll at once.
In normal times, the Constellation Killer would have had a close match with Uburka. However, the Black Dragon Master’s transformation was a surprise. Sal Cheonseong fell without being able to find his proper posture.
The fight that started at 13:13 quickly turned into 13:11.
“is it.”
One of the Constellation Killers among the murder dolls muttered.
“Myeongcheon. “Were you a prophet?”
The pendulum of the fight tilted sharply.
The 11 remaining murder dolls were separated from each other and we were forced to destroy them individually. Uburka and Kim Yul joined together to cut down another doll.
13:10.
“Did you come here first after prophesying that I was planning to seal you?”
“no. I am not a prophet. “He is a regressor.”
Kim Yul, Uburka, and Sylvia joined forces and charged at the new doll. At this point, the murder dolls could barely get their bearings. Battles began to unfold everywhere. The Black Dragon Master’s sharp voice and the Holy Knight’s cheers tore through the setting sun.
“Regressor? That can’t be possible. “I expected you to be a time expert, so I prepared near-perfect measures.”
“If I were single, it would be perfect.”
I jumped at the Constellation Killer.
Seeing me rapidly approaching, the Constellation Killer bit his mouth for a moment.
What calculations are going on in his head right now? How quickly are they reviewing the numbers?
I couldn’t figure out what was going through his mind.
However, only the voice that the Constellation Killer opened his lips was clearly audible.
“I throw away the memories of the past 29 days.”
