Chapter 657
Episode 167. Temar’s Fifth Tomb (1)
The light extending from the Veil’s blade was gradually changing into a ‘door’-like form. The speed at which the door formed was exactly proportional to the infusion of aura.
Sandra made a fuss about this, saying that this was the power of desire, and Hedo looked at his sword and the door alternately with a bewildered face.
‘… … Like the black dragon Murakan said, did you really mean that the veil was related to the old Runcandel or Solderlet?’
On the blade of the longsword that Hedo had accidentally obtained a long time ago, the word “veil” was engraved on it.
-you… … that sword. where did you get it from?
-You are asking a strange question, Black Dragon. And from those who have experienced your inaction on the Gaifa Islands before, I’ve heard that it wasn’t quite like this.
-That sword, take good care of it. Apparently, it seems to have a story with Murakan. Let’s go, kid.
On the day Jin’s group first met Hedo at the Tower of the White Nights, Murakan suffered from a headache for a while as soon as he saw Hedo’s sword. As if some forgotten memory came to mind.
Afterwards, even after leaving Sota Desert, Murakan kept trying to recall the memory of the longsword veil, but failed every time.
Because of this, the party assumed that Hedo’s sword was also an object whose history was fabricated, but of course no one could have imagined that the veil would become intertwined with Temar’s tomb in this way.
“I don’t know what the reason was. You used a large amount of aura when fighting with me in the past, and there was no reaction at that time.”
“It must be because the locational condition of Temar’s tomb was not met. It seems that the sword is the key to the tomb. Where did you get that sword?”
“When I was young, I got it by cutting down a monster in the Black Sea.”
“I hope you can tell us more about it later. Anyway, thanks to your sword, there is hope, Tower Keeper. Thank you.”
Coincidence, it was close to pure coincidence that Jin brought Hedo to the Kaldran snowfield this time.
However, Jin thought that if his sword had a story about Runcandel, it might not be a coincidence, but fate.
“12 riders. When the portal is complete, you intend to enter it, right?”
“exactly.”
“I’m going in too!”
“No, lady.”
“No, Sandra.”
Jin and Hedo said at the same time.
“why!?”
“I don’t know what’s going on inside. If Heister survivors are alive, they may have gone in there and never got out.”
“I am of the same opinion. It’s a different matter from coming to Kaldran’s snowfield. If this door leads to Temar’s tomb, nothing can be foreseen about what will happen inside. It means escape may be impossible.”
“So Jin is going in? Mr. Jin is Rosa’s only opponent, what if he dies alone inside?”
“Themar’s tomb is an arrangement left by my gods and ancestors for Runcandel. I have never once been in danger in visiting those tombs. Also, through aura, I could always get out whenever I wanted.”
Of course it’s a lie.
In most of the tombs, Jin was almost killed by the guardians, and in the fourth tomb, he waited endlessly with Valeria because he didn’t know how to get out.
However, since YuRia was not at her seat now, Sandra had no way to confirm the truth.
Even if it was confirmed, Jin would definitely go in alone.
“Time required or situation. Since nothing can be predicted, I am worried about what the lady, demon dragon, and I should do.”
“With my experience so far, I was able to return to the royalties within a day or two.”
“It is impossible for us to wait here for that period of time.”
“You know, so come back. If Rosa doesn’t come in person, I’ll probably be able to escape under any circumstances.”
“I won’t leave you alone!”
“Sandra, please.”
First of all, although Jin became quite close to Sandra, she and Hedo were clearly Zipple people. I couldn’t bring them into Temar’s tomb.
“I still can’t. Although they were friendly until now, this time the tomb might be hostile towards Jin. Hedo and I will be very helpful. Besides, Mr. Jin is so tired just by opening the door.”
When the door was all formed, Jin felt a great sense of exhaustion, just as Sandra had said. Just by opening the door, almost all of the aura was consumed.
‘It looks like the aura used is several times greater than what Murakan used in the first tomb.’
Although he had aura and magic power, Jin couldn’t fight with full force if he met a tough opponent inside.
“And what about Runcandel’s 3rd rider!? It’s a problem even if Rosa and not the 3rd Horseman are there when she returns. You have to deal with the 3 riders alone in a tired state, right in the middle of enemy territory.”
Runcandel 3rd rider, Runtia Runcandel.
Ronil said that she seemed to have led the pursuit team and chased after Valeria.
But until now, Runtia hadn’t been seen, and the party assumed that she was among the reinforcements arriving this time.
As Jin tried to enter the door, Sandra threw herself into it first.
Hedo immediately tried to interrupt her, but after a while he realized he didn’t have to.
Tung-!
“Ugh!”
It was because as Sandra got closer, the door sent off a shockwave and bounced her off.
It was the same no matter how many times I tried.
“Damn, what is this… … ! Hedo, see if you bounce it off too.”
The same happened to Hedo as well as Sandra.
He even succeeded in approaching the door with superhuman strength, but as soon as he reached it, he could not proceed further as if he were blocked by a wall.
“I have a feeling there might be trouble with the door if I go any further, lady. Give up.”
On the other hand, nothing like that happened to Jin.
“The 12th Horseman.”
Jin looked back at Hedo.
“If possible, spend at least three days inside the tomb. Only then can we come back and ask Kingelo for help.”
Hedo concluded that using the leader’s portal would be best for now.
Jin also immediately agreed with that opinion.
“Okay. If possible, make sure to do so.”
“Also, when you exit the tomb, if you come back to this cave, release the maximum amount of energy immediately. We’ll use that as a signal to ask the leader to open the portal.”
“Contrary to its appearance, it seems that your head turns very quickly, Tower Keeper. Sounds like a good comment. That would give me more peace of mind.”
“I will put Orgal on standby as soon as possible. I wish you no luck.”

“Mr. Jin!”
Jean greeted him with a wink and just as he was about to enter the door, Sandra hugged him once.
“Remember, in case your comrades ever come back to Tican alive. I will kill him at any cost.”
The fact that it wasn’t a joke made Jin’s head throb for a moment, but he smiled at Sandra.
“Keep that in mind.”
Soon Jin entered through the door.
The light formed by the veil of the long sword immediately extinguished.
Sandra stared blankly at the place where Jin disappeared for a while, and Hedo patted her on the shoulder.
* * *
As if entering the abyss of Gleec, only dark and empty darkness filled the subspace that formed Temar’s fifth tomb.
“Valeria!”
Even when I called out her name, there was no echo.
Is it because your heart is in a hurry, or is there another reason? Jin didn’t feel as comfortable as before in the solderlet’s subspace.
‘Unlike the tombs I went through in the past, I don’t have the sense that spirit energy is guiding me. There are no traces of damage to Zipple or other forces. Is there another reason?’
I had no choice but to move.
[Mya!]
Shuri got out of the prison.
Jin immediately boarded the Shuri and began searching the desert of aura as wide as the desert.
Time in sub-space flows differently from Inse. From what Jin has experienced so far, the time of Inse passed much faster.
‘Where are you, Valeria… … !’
There was no progress in the search for about an hour, so the moment I was about to become more impatient.
Shuri stopped walking and pointed forward with her front paw.
[Mya, mya mya!]
There, something transparent like glass was causing light. A dim light as if it would soon go out.
As he got closer, Jin was able to recognize that it was magical power in the form of fragments.
The fact that it is a piece of ‘record magic’.
<In this direction… … .>
‘These are the traces left by Valeria… … !’
My heart was beating rapidly.
Record magic was of course possible not only to find records of the past, but also to leave marks in this way.
‘Looking at the faint traces, it’s old, or it’s barely left in a state with little magic power left.’
Above all, the fact that the magic remained meant that the caster was still alive.
It was then that Jin was able to sweep his chest for the first time.
‘He didn’t die. The Master definitely remains in this subspace.’
Shuri started running at full speed, following the direction Valeria’s record magic informed.
Jin was reminded of the fact that he could save her soon.
But for some reason, as Jin went in the direction Valeria said, he felt that an unpleasant aura, not Valeria’s magic, was getting closer.
It was an aura of chaos. The quality is incomparable to those felt in the Kaldran snowfield, with a high level of purity and hugeness.
As we got closer to the source of the soul spirit, the sub-space was showing signs of battle as well as desolate darkness.
The space is full of cracks and twisted traces. All of them were traces of destructive swordsmanship.
Soon after arriving at the source, Jin was able to face a woman.
It wasn’t Valeria.
[It’s been a while… … the youngest.]
Runtia Runcandel.
The woman Jin faced was his second sister.
