Chapter 718 < 718 Alps (3) >

A gray warrior chosen by the Sword.

‘Rafael.'

It was a name I know well.

Didn't he try hard to get a sword choice too? It's a name I've never talked about, but it gives me vague jealousy and admiration.

There was no other reason. It was because I still couldn't forget the feeling of the sword when I first caught it.

It is darkness because of the enormous malice, darkness, and light that penetrates into your head. It was a time when you couldn't tell the difference, but the feeling of maggots rushing through your skin and burrowing your insides....

Tra n s lated b y jp ｍt l.coｍ ‘I don't want to feel it again. ’

It was the same word.

How could he not be interested in a warrior who had endured an unbearable ordeal?

I only understood the window that was opened just before I came into this room, and who was the guest who was there first.

I didn't ask him, but maybe he went there first. I thought there must be a gray warrior somewhere.

I couldn't see the road properly because of the fog. You can see the nervous faces of the party members.

This side, too, was nervous because we knew this place was a danger zone.

Tr an s l a t ed by Jpｍ tl .c o m It was a completely ruined area and already a heavily contaminated area.

The more you enter a corrupt land that has not been cleansed, the more it frowns because of the stench.

It was similar to the senses I felt when I was tested by the sword.

A darkness stained with anger and regret, despair and fear, and all kinds of negative emotions. I don't know if it was the right expression, but I felt like I was in the right place.

I knew I had to reduce the noise as much as possible, but I had no choice but to open my mouth.

“Is the guild master... really alive? ”

“Actually... ”

“Yes.”

“You are absolutely right to assume that your body has completely stopped functioning. He's not breathing, his heart's completely stopped... so you could say he's medically dead. ”

“Then…. ”

“But your body still has magical powers. As you know, the body of a dead person.... ”

“Ah! Magic can't flow. ”

“When we first discovered the guild master, there was not a handful of magic left, but about three hours later… the magic began to flow again. It wasn't breathing again. The contaminated land is.... ”

“It's the magical powers within the guild master. ”

“ ……. ”

T ra n sl a ted by jpｍ tl.coｍ I didn't answer, but I saw a small nod. I thought she might not be able to accurately judge the current situation either.

I have said that magic is flowing, but I have no choice but to question the nature of the power.

We don't know exactly how big it is, but it covers almost one city, and the rest of it is rotting away.

The environment has changed. How can I explain this?

I knew that the Guild Master died of corruption...

Is he really alive? ’

Even if I could save him, would that be the former guild master? Maybe he's already a completely different person.

No, even if there is a way to save the Guild Master, it might be a good idea to reach out.

I could see why this was happening in secret. If the Church, including the Bandit of Benegor, finds out about this, it won't be long. Maybe we….

‘Maybe he's trying to bring the Devil back. ’

Of course, it can be worthless.

However, the moment I saw the image of the beast in my eyes, I had no choice but to think back to what I had thought before.

It was already a form that could not be called a human. It is no different from what the devil looked like as a child.

The giant horn is ugly and ominous, and the wings behind its back twist in an odd direction. The guild master I've seen before can't be found even if I wash my eyes and look for him.

However, what is more noticeable than its appearance is the scar carved on the guild master's body.

Tra n sl a ted b y Jp mtl.ｃoｍ That body was already rotting, a stench that could hold its breath without even knowing it.

I can see it with my own eyes. I doubt he'll be able to move.

It was full of marks with swords all over it, and a strange twist seemed to tell me just how painful the process of death was.

‘Are you sure you can... survive? ’

The surrounding area is full of stiff blood.

You don't need to touch it. He's already completely rigid. I can't even say it properly because I saw the horror that couldn't be said.

Why?

I felt like I knew why Jo Hye-jin asked me to come with him.

‘This... ’

How could I have seen this?

How can we face this horror? How can you look that way with your eyes open?

When I turned my head slightly and looked up, Jo Hye-jin, who is making a face that is hard to pronounce, glances at me.

My body seems to be shaking less. After holding my hand a little, I feel like I've calmed down a little.

“It was worse when I first saw it. At least now... ”

“Yes. Much better. ”

As I turned to the voice from not far away, I noticed a face that I felt like I had seen for a long time. T ransl a ted b y ｊp m tl.ｃ o ｍ

The first thing that caught my eye was a sword that was a symbol of a warrior, and a blonde head. A gray warrior chosen by Benigore.

It was Raphael.

“He's not coming.... ”

“I changed my mind. ”

“That's good thinking. Jo Hye-jin. Oh, this is... so... You're the Alps, right? It's been a long time. ”

“Yes, it's been a long time. Rafael. If I'd known you were awake, I would've gone to say hello... ”

“No, thanks. I came here as soon as I woke up... I heard my brother looking for me. ”

“My brother?”

“Yes. The Blue Vice Guild Master... ”

“Ah.”

“I got a sudden message. A message telling me to save him, that you could save him. ”

“That's …. ”

“What do you think, Raphael? After that... ”

“I haven't received another message since. It was just once after I woke up. I don't know how to move, I don't have any other answers, but I think I can figure out how to do this... I don't know if I'm doing the right thing right now... but this is all I have right now. ”

“The guild master's status is…. ”

“As you can see. The sacred power of gray light is filling the wound. I'm glad I didn't cause a rejection like the usual Divine Power.... ”

“If only that were possible. ”

“Yes, thank God…. ”

Other than the gray warriors, I can see them.

I don't remember much, but he's probably... watching out for the hound dog Mi Hyeok. The one who made the safety zone around him with divine power....

‘Marien, priest of miracles. ’

There are other familiar faces. They used to be called the Swordsman Party. Though not everyone seemed to see it, they were definitely the ones who often showed their faces to the guild. They're not the only ones. Red Mercenary Choi Young-gi... And...

The Black Swan Guild Master? ’

I could see him talking to Jo Hye-jin.

I thought I'd say hello, but I could tell that wasn't the case. It's because everyone looks extremely tense.

Park, Yeon-ju Park, the party of the swordsman, and the Red Mercenary Choi Young-gi all look alike.

It's not because of the guild master in front of you. It is clear that the enemy may invade at any time.

How long have we been walking? ’

Exactly where I am.

It's not unusual for an enemy to barge in at any time. It's covered with fog, but there are no walls here. Safety John, made of magic and divine power, is not strong enough to stop an enemy attack.

If only the demons in the angelic robes would come in here...

‘So it could be dangerous. ’

I started to get wet because of the tension that I had never felt until now. Even the fog that I can't see even a mile in front of feels ominous.

“Queek.”

Whites squirm and gaze far away. Let's follow the white man's gaze without even knowing it...

“Er... ”

The man in the mask looks this way.

“Huh?"

It's so far away. I don't even know if what I saw was a human form.

I think I saw it wrong. I rubbed my eyes for a moment and looked at it again, but all I could see was the cloudy fog.

Did I get it wrong? ’

Shouldn't we do some research, though?

The man in the white mask?

Why was he staring this way?

“Queek…. ”

I was about to speak to an adventurer nearby.

“Battle stations! ”

“ ……. ”

“All units prepare for battle! ”

“King! King! ”

“White boy!"

There was a loud noise somewhere.

“The wizards cast the magic they have prepared! ”

“We have a location. Support request. Enemy number not properly verified. ”

“Move according to the manual. ”

It was a quick change in air. You hear wizards chanting here and there. I feel like my surroundings are getting heavier.

He also urgently draws his sword from his waist. One of the demons, who looks like an angel, reaches out his spear through the mist.

‘We can avoid it. ’

The body is slightly stiff with tension, but an attack that can be avoided.

“King!”

When I hear the sound of it, I can feel it reviving my body. Movement has become faster and stronger. The sword reaches straight to the heart, but it catches up with the sound of its jaw.

“Ah!”

A spear pierced through the fog rescued me when I was a little embarrassed. I can see a window through the angel's neck.

“Somewhere safe. ”

“N-no. I can fight. ”

“ ……. ”

“We can fight. ”

“ ……. ”

“Then join the force immediately.... ”

“Yes.”

I saw Jo Hye-jin's back throwing himself into the fog again.

I couldn't figure out exactly where they were headed, but I was blurry when I saw the spear reach out to an angel with long braided brown hair.

Kuaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

“White boy! Let's go! ”

“King!”

I know how to fight. I've had a lot of training.

The manual is also in your head. It's important to keep the party members in good shape.

In order to utilize the buff provided by the whites, you must move as wide as possible.

‘The fog is blocking my view. ’

It is difficult to distinguish the pia from its exact location. The same will be true for allies, but also for enemies.

‘White people can tell the difference. ’

It will be distinguishable by the smell. This small and medium-scale guerrilla battle will not work, but his ability will be very helpful.

I noticed that the white man knew what to do, too, and quickly took a step.

Keep in mind the surrounding terrain while you run wild. It'll all help later.

It was then that the white man who was running without violence stopped moving.

“King!”

“Where am I? D, are you there? ”

“King! King! ”

What I saw was a man in a mask.
