Chapter 226
226. Eight months later, the raid is over and
empty!
burst!
PAAAAAAA!!!
After that, the exploding magic circle emitted a powerful wave of magic power and swept the ponytail.
That wave was not something a human who was neither a dimension mover nor an apostle could withstand, having lost all power and returned as an ordinary citizen of Azul.
“Agruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
of the murderer who took the lives of about 300 people who were the culprits of the Scanakia Village Incident roared and oxidized.
“If I had been careful with my mouth, it wouldn’t have happened.”
From one to ten, everything is self-employed.
Seunghyun Kang drank the stamina potion and ended the [Eye of Observation].
As you may have noticed at this point, the reason why the ponytail’s name doesn’t come up during the flashback is because Kang Seung-hyun thought it wasn’t worth mentioning the guy’s name.
“I won! Raid is over!”
“I defeated the traitor!”
“hurray!”
“We all did our best!”
“Thanks for your efforts!”
“Let’s treat the wounded and take over the bodies of the dead.”
The gathered adventurers cheered after confirming that the murderer was dead. There were no deaths at all, but this was good enough for a raid.
“Huh, I never thought that friend would be the real culprit…”
“I never really thought about it.”
“I thought he was a righteous adventurer who tried to catch the shadow wolf more passionately than anyone else…” “I heard that
the enemy inside is the real enemy.”
The truth that the party member who has been with us since the beginning was actually the real culprit, the trash killer.
1/3 of the current raid members seemed pretty shocked as they had been chasing the shadow wolf all the way with their ponytails.
‘Well, it’s a common occurrence in this industry.’
A betrayal in which trust is shattered and bonds disappear with a single rare item.
It’s common in the adventure industry.
“Let’s report this matter back to the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“The Guild will investigate again, but for now, let’s gather all the evidence we can submit.”
“Shall we retrieve the body first?”
“You just blew it up without a trace.”
“You should at least pick up your hair.”
The other 2/3 didn’t have much emotion for the pigtails they saw for the first time today, so they took care of things calmly.
Because the scum that slaughtered hundreds didn’t feel human.
“In the end, we couldn’t figure out why this guy slaughtered the villagers of Skanakia.”
“Is there a reason? You’re a fucking murderer.”
“That’s right, I guess I just wanted to kill him.”
“By the way, shouldn’t we pick the number one for this raid soon?”
While finishing the raid, an adventurer said with a triumphant face.
Azul Continental Raid has a tradition of selecting the number one adventurer who plays the most and shows the best play when the request is successfully completed.
“Usually I go back to the camp or adventurer’s guild to choose… but now I don’t have to.”
“Of course, this raid number one isn’t that friend, right?”
The adventurers nodded and looked at someone.
“Ah, am I number one in this raid?”
Of course, that person was Kang Seung-hyun.
“of course! Is it you or who?”
“nice! You fought the shadow wolf and won, and you even found the real culprit!”
“This raid number one is the only one!”
“I’m surprised I didn’t even think about it. thank you.”
Seunghyun Kang replied with a shameless smile.
‘I’m sure I’m the only one who eats first place in a raid by throwing potions.’
So, for the first time in history, the adventurer who threw potions at the teammates and hit them won the number one title.
It will probably be number one that will never happen again.
“Then let’s go back to camp soon!”
“Congratulations on a successful raid!”
“Distribution of rewards! Distribution of rewards! Distribution of rewards!”
The adventurers moved toward the top again with excited faces.
Tuck Tuck.
“Isn’t the adventurer coming?”
“This is raid number one! You have to go first!”
“I still have work to do. Go first.”
“All right!”
“Come quickly!”
However, Kang Seung-hyun did not go to the top and remained halfway there.
Hui-i-i-i….
As everyone left, the middle of the hill became quiet again.
The only ones left are Kang Seung-hyeon and the black beast that had been hiding in the grass for a while.
“{Did everyone go…? He said he’s coming to catch me?}”
“{I’m sure he won’t be here because he’s busy with the party.}” “
{Thank God….}”
The black beast came out of the grass as if relieved.
With the ponytail taken care of, you’re next! It seems that he thought he would jump in like this.
“{What would have really happened if it wasn’t for you…}”
“{I don’t understand. If you are a dimension mover, you should be able to crush the people of the Azul Continent.}” You can
tell just by fighting for a while, but if it was the power of the black beast, you could have won with just a flat blow with your bare fists without any skills.
But he didn’t do anything and just ran away using defense skills.
“{But those people didn’t come after me with bad intentions…. They didn’t do anything bad.}” “{
Even if it’s a misunderstanding, does it make sense not to attack people who came for their lives?} ”
“{It’s like this when you’re sane…}”
said the black beast and bowed his head.
‘Well, there are all these hogu bastards.’
Kang Seung-hyeon was dumbfounded, but it is true that the adventurers who finished the raid left the black beast behind and went back to the camp thanks to that cowardly mind.
If the black beast had attacked even one person who was pursuing it, it would have regarded it as a dangerous monster and tried to subdue it.
‘Well, to be honest, a dimension mover like that would have more than enough to wipe out all of them… but there’s no way a hukou like that would do that.’
Maybe it’s the perfect survival method for Hogu.
Kang Seung-hyeon made an appropriate conclusion and looked at the floor.
‘Anyway, I only benefited from this incident.’
Took.
There, the fragments of the split beads that had been pulled out of the ponytail’s body earlier were rolling around.
The black beast tapped it with its paw.
“{Uh… Someone dumped trash in the woods. These things should be thrown in the trash.}”
“{This is not garbage, it is the source of power that the ponytail guy used.}” “
{The source of power?}”
“{He kept it in his heart.}”
Kang Seung-hyun took out a piece of cloth and cut it in half. Picked up a piece of marble.
[Observation Eye]
Then use the [Observation Eye] to investigate.
[Half of the orb containing the spirit of Skana Mountain]
[I don’t think it will be able to show its full power unless I get back half of it.]
[Looks like the other half is somewhere around here. ]
I was able to get these informational messages.
‘Somewhere near here?’
Kang Seung-hyeon, who was reading the information message, looked around while holding the [half of the marble containing the spirit of Skana Mountain].
“{why why?}” “{
I have something to find.
}”
[I feel an ethereal energy from a nearby place.]
[The other half is somewhere nearby.]
Let’s walk forward while checking the message that appears
[The other half is here.] ‘This
is …’
We arrived at the village of Scanakia, where only a few buildings remain.
‘So that’s why he was talking shit.’
The reason Ponytail raided the Scanakia village was that the other half of the marble was hidden under the village.
“{This is a Skanakian village.}”
I heard a voice and turned around to see a black beast sneaking up on me.
“{I’m sorry I followed you unintentionally…}”
“{It just went well.}”
Kang Seung-hyeon pointed under the ruins of the town hall.
“{Dig here.}”
“{Huh?}”
“{I have something to look for.}” “
{Uh huh… Okay.}”
Pak pak pak pak!
The black beast started digging the ground with a bewildered face.
Yes.
These days and then, Kim Ho-jung’s main activity was not tanking, but digging.
“■◆#$%!”
Maybe 5 minutes passed.
A black beast came up with a small piece of marble.
[Half of the marble containing the spirit of Mount Skana]
“{It was here too.}”
It seems that the ponytail was planning to kill all the villagers and search the village to find this marble.
‘But the black beast’s party came to visit at the timing when the villagers were massacred, and things got twisted.’
So, after the Black Beast Raid was over, he was planning to sneak out of the camp and investigate the ruined Scanakia village, but…
‘I intercepted it.’
Seunghyun Kang smiled and picked up a piece of marble.
The ponytails that should be in hell cry out in front of your eyes at this sight.
widely! Let’s
combine the pieces of marbles that have been split in half into one
!
Emitting a faint light, the orb returned to its intact form.
[Orb containing the spirit of Skana Mountain]
As you can see from the fact that the tail holds only half of the ball and goes wild, this orb contains tremendous power created by the energy of the mountain accumulated over a long period of time.
“{Looks like something great.}”
“{It’s a bit inferior compared to holy relics, but since it contains divine power, it’s a great item.}” “{
Oh…}”
“{That guy is a perfect orb. If I had eaten, the level would have been different.}”
Of course, even if he did, he would not have been able to defeat Kang Seung-hyun.
“{Then will you eat that too?}”
“{No, why do you eat these things?}”
It is true that you become stronger by eating, but as you can see from the ponytail, there is a weakness somewhere in the body.
“{No matter how strong you get, no penalty will be imposed.}”
In a fight between dimensional movers, a minor penalty can determine the outcome of a battle, perhaps in the case of the massacre of citizens of the Azul Continent.
“{Then what are you going to do? Are you selling it?}”
“{Why are you selling this? I have to write it.}”
Passasak!
Kang Seung-hyun broke the finished marble.
Then, as the beads dissipated, the energy contained within was scattered in all directions.
[Absorbed some of the spirit from Skana.]
[Some stats went up.]
“{If you do this, 95% of the spirit will just go away, but you can absorb about 5% of it.}”
This way, you can absorb the entire marble . It can’t become very strong like swallowing it, but it absorbs power slowly, so it doesn’t develop any weakness in its body.
“{This is the classic method, but it’s a waste to swallow it whole and then perish.}” “{
Still, it’s a shame that 95% is lost.}”
“{The rest of the energy goes back to nature to make the environment better, form new marble items, or Yes.}”
In a word, an eco-friendly way to think about the environment.
You can find out by reading one of the books on the Azul Continent, [Generous Nature Part 2].
“{Wow, hyung, you’re smart…. You don’t know anything!}” “
{Then, let’s go now.}” “
{Bu already?}”
“{Now that we’ve finished our responsibilities, let’s go and sleep.}”
Kang Seung-hyun looked refreshed and went to his seat. I tried to open
“{Ah bro, you’re going back to camp.}” “
{Because I don’t want to camp in the mountains like this. Goodbye, then.}”
“{Over there…}”
The black beast hesitated, as if he had something to say, but
“{I like to walk alone. I have no intention of bringing in a colleague.}”
No matter how you look at it, it looked like a party request, so I hung up.
‘It’s just annoying.’
Even after 8 months had passed, Kang Seung-hyeon still had no intention of taking a cumbersome and troublesome colleague with him.
“{That’s right. sorry. Then the knife I lent you earlier… Can I give it back?}”
“{Knives?}”
“{Because I don’t have any weapons other than that…}” “{
Um, that’s it.}”
Kang Seung-hyun was lost in thought for a moment.
‘Come to think of it, that was this guy’s weapon. It was so trash that I forgot about it and threw it away.’
This is because the sword of the Black Beast disappeared without a trace from this world after being hit by a demonic cannon along with the ponytail.
“{That knife became a star in the night sky.}” “
{Huh?}”
“{It was my mistake, so I’ll buy you a new one.}”
Anything you buy will be better than that trash.
Kang Seung-hyeon thought of the ponytail and the cheap iron sword that would be burning in hell.
“{Oh no! It wasn’t even a very good weapon, but what! Anyway, right now, if you wield the sword incorrectly, it will just break…}” “
{Is that why only the starter knife was left?}” “
{I was going to take it back as a souvenir when I go back to Earth later…}”
The black beast answered awkwardly.
Apparently Kang Seung-hyun burned the souvenir.
“{Then do you need anything other than weapons? I’ll get you that.}”
“{Anything you need?}”
“{I don’t think there’ll be at least one. Something like a new armor or potion.}”
Kang Seung-hyun naturally thought that he would ask for a rare item or a rare item like a skill scroll.
If it were me, I would have done so.
“{Then…}”
However, what the black beast demanded was unexpected.
“Can’t we just go together until we find our companions?”
