‘I don’t know what will happen. ‘The situation is very different from then.’
Reppenhardt, who was researching the 10th Circle at the time, developed quite a few spells. However, no matter how much he was the greatest genius of all time, there was a limit to the magic he possessed as a human being. Even though he had developed it, there were many spells that he could not test.
What was used at that time was the relic of the Four Directions God. Even spells exceeding the magical power he possessed could be fully used by borrowing magical power using the relics of the four directions.
Later, after Reppenhardt developed ‘Mana Refrain’, one of the 10th circle ultimate spells, and used a technique to return 90% of the used magic power back to the body, it was not used much, but even so, it was an artifact that helped a lot throughout. During the final battle, he was able to endure for so long because he had the relics of the Four Directions God while facing the five strong men of the continent.
‘Of course, if you have the relics of the four directions, you will be able to use a lot of magic that you couldn’t use due to lack of magic power, but… … I guess this body’s magic power allowance is too low? So, I don’t know if I can imprint my magic on the relics of the four directions at this level.’
‘But it’s definitely worth looking forward to, right?’
Reppenhardt grinned as he looked at Marceline who asked in a subdued tone.
‘Well, wouldn’t it be worth a try?’
It was in the meantime. Silan, who was still chewing on meat with a sullen look on his face, suddenly asked with an expression that reminded him of something.
“Oh, Mr. Leffen? It’s a relic of the four directions. Is that related to the ‘God of Four Directions’?”
Russ nodded and pretended to know.
“If you say the four directions, you mean the guardian saint of the four directions who is not worshipped, right? “I remember seeing it briefly in an old theology book.”
“Yes. I don’t know the details either… … .”
Cilan nodded and explained.
The gods believed in by humans include Lord Sayer and the twelve gods. However, that did not mean that there were thirteen denominations on the continent.
The Eastern Divine Dragon, Bamet.
Heavenly guardian of the West, Parga.
The immortal Sathar who protects others.
Frozen Tianon rules the North.
These beast gods, who protect the world but do not respect the will of humans, were believed to be nature itself rather than a single person, so there was no separate denomination to serve them.
“When the divine dragon Bamet spits out a fireball, the heavenly warrior Parga catches it and plays with it, and with that the sun rises and sets. When Bamet closes his eyes, night comes, and when the heavenly host Parga roars, dawn comes, and thus day and night continue. As the divine dragon runs through the void of darkness, his bead will become the moon and brighten the night, and the teeth of the Heavenly Tiger will shine endlessly and become stars and twinkle.”
This is the theological content that records the cycle of day and night. Cilan continued.
“As the immortal Sattar flaps his wings, heat rises across the world; as frozen Tianon breathes, cold sweeps down the world. This is why summer comes from the south and winter comes from the north, and the four seasons cycle through their protection.”
Marceline listened intently to Cilan’s story with sparkling eyes. he muttered.
“This is my first time hearing this.”
“Isn’t this story told to dwarves?”
Cilan asked curiously. Marceline was a much higher-ranking priest than him. But was there something he didn’t know about?
Marceline made a bitter expression.
“Alport’s teachings have not been passed down completely, so there are many things missing even among us. “I couldn’t afford to listen to the stories of other gods.”
Cilan flinched and shrugged his shoulders. I felt like I had somehow touched on the painful history of dwarves.
Cilan slowly changed the subject and asked Reppenhardt again.
“Anyway, does it have anything to do with the Four Directions God?”
“well?”
Leffenhardt scratched his head.
The name of this relic of the four directions was given by him himself in his previous life.
Artifacts found in the dungeon sometimes had names or did not have names.
In the case of the Holy Light Sword Messiah, the object itself had the name Messiah in ancient language attached to it. Barded Eldrad also has his name engraved on the inside of the armor. It is not the name given by the person who discovered it, but it was originally called by that name since ancient times.
On the other hand, there were cases that could not be specifically referred to, such as Eleusion’s voice.
In this case, the discoverer names it appropriately according to the situation. The name ‘Voice of Eleusion’ was discovered in the dungeon Eleusion, and it was a name given by Reppenhardt himself because he kept hearing strange auditory hallucinations during the early research stages.
The same was true for dungeons.
Sometimes the name of the dungeon is attached to the entrance, and sometimes it is not. Of course, if you think about it, there is no guarantee that the name given to the entrance refers to the dungeon. It could just be the name of the ancient person who owned the dungeon at the time, or it could be a completely unrelated name.
Likewise, the relics of the four directions did not have separate names. It was just named that way because it has a picture of the guardian angel engraved on it. Although he researched it at the time, Repenhardt was unable to figure out what it had to do with the four directions.
However, in order to explain the whole situation, he would have to bring up the story of his past life, so Reppenhardt vaguely spoke.
“Who cares? All you need is good performance. “Okay, now that we’ve had enough rest and our stomachs are full, let’s set off again!”
While we were eating and resting, the sun had already risen in the sky. A day in the jungle is short. You should move as much as possible while the sun is up.
“Ugh, should I move again?”
“I can’t do it, whatever.”
“Come on, everyone, let’s do our best!”
The others also frowned and stood up from their seats.

Three days later, a group of beggars appeared through the thick jungle. Well, in the past, they were considered the king of a nation, the representative of a great god on earth, or the chief of a clan, but now they are nothing more or less, just a bunch of beggars.
Cilan looked tearful as he examined his body.
“Ooh, I want to take a shower… … .”
Her once shiny red hair is shiny in a different way, and her once pale skin has become dark due to being scorched by the sun. In addition, his arms and legs are covered in mud, his clothes are full of grass and traces of bugs.
Iniya complained with her shoulders drooping.
“Oh, if only I could take a bath in cool water once… … .”
“So… … .”
Russ, who was nearby, showed strong agreement. Of course, Tashid took a step back with an expression of intense fear.
If you have the stamina and strength of Reppenhardt and his group, you will not be so tired that you will have physical problems no matter how dense the jungle is.
They are known as Auror users, people with superhuman strength. It’s just a hassle to deal with mentally, but there’s no real problem physically. What I’ve been complaining about so far was actually half-hearted. If he were an ordinary explorer, he would still be wandering at the beginning of the jungle.
However, even the transcendent power of Auror and the blessings of God cannot prevent it from burning!
Russ looked like he could grab a piece of cake if he stretched out his hand from under the bridge, and Tashid was slowly starting to look like Kalken and Stala would regard him as their own son. This means that the green skin is covered in so much mud that it looks dark red.
Iniya managed to maintain her pure white skin by using her passive aura with only a woman’s tenacity, but the clothes she wore instead were extremely dirty. Marceline’s sacred robes had long since become rags. In the meantime, Alport’s sacred beard was shining with a glossy, pure white glow, but the discrepancy made it look even more bizarre.
Reppenhardt, who was walking at the front, encouraged the group. He also looked like he had been digging in a mine for about three days.
“Go to sleep, cheer up. “If you go a little further, you will reach the village of the Erekaka tribe.”
Iniya’s expression brightened slightly.
Trolls easily make jars and bathtubs due to their cultural nature of dealing mainly with dirt. And since troll gurus often draw and erase patterns all over their bodies, they wash their bodies quite often. The pattern is also part of the magical power and must be changed from time to time. So, a bathing culture was quite developed among trolls.
There is hope that if you go to the Erekaka tribe, you will be able to wash your body properly. Everyone’s steps naturally became faster.

After traversing the jungle for another half a day under Titima’s guidance, a clearing was finally visible through the jungle. Silan ran out of the bushes with a bright expression.
“Wow… … ah?”
It was the moment I saw the village.
Silan’s movements stopped. His face turned pale.
“This, this… … .”
Titima, who took the lead, had already turned pale and was frozen in place like a stone statue. The others also had the same expression and looked at the scene in front of them.
The troll village spread out between the forests was stained with blood.
2
Everywhere in the village was burned and collapsed and looked like a ruin. Troll corpses were strewn everywhere, and the floor was soaked in red blood. Titima screamed in troll language at the terrible sight.
“Jeka Ozeb! Awaprata!”
‘Oh my God! It meant ‘Mother Earth!’ Thinking, Titima ran out. Reppenhardt, who came to his senses, followed right behind and shouted.
“Let’s see if there are any survivors!”
In a hurry, others also ran into the village.
Most of the trolls were torn to pieces and dead. This tragedy did not discriminate even between children and women. The sight of corpses of children as young as a few years old scattered all over the place was truly mind-boggling.
Iniya trembled with anger.
“What kind of person would do such a terrible thing!”
Even if a hunter encounters a wild animal, he leaves the cub alive. What crime did these young trolls have to deserve such a cruel death?
Everyone was shocked. Russ shook her shoulders and tried to calm her excitement.
“Whoa, whoo… … “It seems we are not the only ones who have entered Pluntan.”
Trying to cool their heads, Reppenhardt and his party looked at the ruins.
Cilan muttered.
“Could it be a monster hunter?”
In the Kingdom of Halaine, there were quite a few monster hunters who went to the entrance of Pluntan in the Great Sea and hunted trolls. Although not many people succeed, catching just one troll is a huge success, so there are quite a few people who dream of turning their lives around.
Tashid shook his head.
“I don’t know, but I heard they never go this deep.”
Russ agreed.
“Tashid is right. And if you’re a monster hunter, there’s no reason to slaughter like this.”
The reason monster hunters target trolls is because they lust for their blood. You can make money only by saving it and taking it to the alchemist guild. However, there is no reason to carelessly spill the blood of this precious troll on the ground.
“If it was truly the work of a monster hunter, there would have been no need to kill children and women, even if the troll guru and the men did not know. “It would be a lot of money if I took him.”
“I see. Then why?”
Iniya, who was listening to the conversation between Cilan and Russ, sneakily approached Reppenhardt.
“Leffenhardt.”
“yes?”
She pointed to chunks of land dug up throughout the village.
“This is an Auror mark.”
“Is that so?”
Leffenhardt narrowed his eyes. However, it was difficult for him to distinguish it with his eyes because it was just dug up in the ground and not used on people. I once again realize that Iniya’s level is high.
Iniya spoke again with confidence.
“I’m sure. Aura, it’s not just a blade aura, it’s a kind of fusion aura. I guess it feels similar to Mr. Reppenhardt’s thunderbolt or heat wave… … .”
Leffenhardt frowned. Currently, as far as he knows, there are only two people who have reached the highest levels of both magic and aura.
Leffenhardt himself and Tethron.
‘But Tethron can’t already use Auror and magic combined?’
Even if Tethron had perfectly digested his brain, there was no way that auror-magic fusion would have been possible. The technique of Gwonma Hapshin was able to be created because of his past experience of reaching the level of the 10th circle. No matter how much you have your own brain, it is a story without that knowledge and wisdom.
Iniya, who must have taken his frowning attitude with suspicion, added with a grumpy expression.
“It’s clear. I don’t know what it is, but at least it’s definitely not a pure Auror skill. I also use a combination of elemental magic and aura, right? So I can know for sure.”
“It’s not that I doubt your insight, Iniya. “It’s just because it’s surprising.”
Reppenhardt thought as he comforted her.
‘A fusion of auror and magic?’
As far as he knows in this life, the only person who can do that is Reppenhardt himself.
‘Ah, it happened again in my past life. ‘He’s that hero or something.’
The image of Alex von Halein, the prince of the Kingdom of Halein, who used a combination of auras, magic, and divine power, came to mind.
The hero Alex’s ability to control all three powers was quite surprising. By combining magic, auror, and divine power, he displayed a power several times greater than his original power. Leffenhardt in his previous life had also wondered for a while how on earth that was possible. If nothing else, the fusion of magic and divine power was an area that even the Demon King considered impossible.
However, Alex’s individual proficiency in magic, aura, and sacred power was not very high. Thanks to this, even though his power was amplified, he did not show any transcendent power. The fusion method was also not very efficient. Compared to Repenhardt’s martial arts training, there was too much power wasted for no reason.
‘It was definitely enough to be one of the five strongest people on the continent, but out of the five, he was the worst.’
Although Alex was the leader of the group, he was inferior to the Sword Saint Cyrus and the King of Fist, Thethron, in terms of military power, so he was not a very scary enemy to Reppenhardt at the time. So he inadvertently forgot about it all this time.
