Episode 361 Even if you can’t see with your right eye (2)

“More details.”

From what I just said, all I know is that the noble dragon was having a hard time. A more detailed explanation is needed.

[They are things that wander between dimensions, swallowing pieces of the flickering world and tearing apart the delicate worlds. Unfortunately, this world seems to have caught their eye this time.]

As if he knew Chae-geun’s true intention, Suzak hurriedly added. It is true that it has become more detailed than before, but the importance of the information value was still low.

My hand adjusted the long sword.

“I’m glad to hear the story behind something that only old beings like you would know, but I think there’s something more important to hear now. So how do you fight against that?”

[Hmm? Ah... I see. Go was wrong.]

Okay, I don’t know what I was thinking when I just told you, but if you realized it, now tell me how to stop it.

Is it okay to attack now in the first place? Seeing that Suzaku is shooting out flames, it seems like the attack itself is okay, but the scale of the situation must be too large to make a hasty move. I’m also scared that my team will be killed by Suzaku’s flames.

[It is not immortal, but it is indeed close to immortality. So, dear friend, don’t try to kill that thing. A more effective way to eliminate that thing is to close the gap in the world before its true body comes over.]

“How to close the gap?”

[The representative of God will do his best to restore it... or awaken the noble dragon, a close friend of the deceased. There is no way around those two things.]

I wrinkled my face at Suzaku’s explanation. Semi-immortality and limited suppression methods. It was the perfect condition to make people go crazy.

“First of all... I think we need to call the Inquisitor.”

“Oh, that’s me...”

Did the Deathbringer, who was the quickest here, raise his hand? Suddenly, Suzaku started crying. Rumbling. The ground began to shake. It was in the direction of the epicenter of the black river dividing the land.

[Take the piece of your heart and head there. And return what he should have originally enjoyed.]

I am not sure what Suzaku did. However, looking at the words to return it, perhaps it opened the way to the noble dragon.

Calling a proxy is only a temporary solution, and in the end, it seems that you have to awaken the noble dragon to prevent this from happening again.

Grumble!

[How!]

“One more crack in the rules....”

But that judgment was too late now. Next to the crack that Suzaku was blocking, another gap began to open. It was gold, as big and huge as what Suzaku had just blocked.

“...I guess I won’t be able to move.”

I don’t know what will come out of there. However, now that the Inquisitor is away, I am the only one who can effectively fight back.

As soon as I realized it, I got down on my knees and put my hands on my ankles. The surface area my fingers touched disappeared as if melting. The same was true for the boots, the fur inside them, and the socks.

“Deathbringer.”

“yes?”

The moment the stinging wind slightly brushed my exposed skin, my fingers touched the chain I was wearing around my ankle. Sweet. The hook-type lock came off easily.

“Take it.”

“to?”

“If you make up your mind to remove the object you want while it is in contact with your skin, it will be taken out in the surrounding space. “There’s no need to explain what you need to take out, right?”

“I know that, I know. Why me...?”

I pulled back my cloak and stood up again. The part of the shoe that had melted has now been completely restored. The fact that it wasn’t real clothes was very convenient in times like this.

“It’s up to you to find the Inquisitor.”

“All right.”

“And you, the wizard...”

“I will fight.”

“do whatever you want.”

“No, that’s me?”

Okay, this is the end of the division of work. I left Daniel and the wizard, who had realized my intention, and made eye contact with the still confused person.

“You are the only one here who can run to the dragon.”

“...!”

“request.”

This time, the guy’s head shot up first, probably because he didn’t want to allow me to climb on him. The wolf-like snout was left intact, and tentacles with mouths appeared protruding from the surface of some of the skin.

“Sigh.”

But I am someone who has already learned how to fight while stepping on vines in the air.

I stepped on the tentacle and jumped up, reliving the fight with Biryuho. New branches erupted where I stepped, but it wasn’t a big problem. It was faster for me to jump forward and climb up than for the tentacle to split.

My legs crawled to stand in front of the snout. Wow! At the same time, the leg that spun around hit the nose. It doesn’t actually have a nose, but if you think of it as a wolf, it would be a nose anyway.

Vibration waves came out in concentric circles, pushing the monsters in their respective directions. To be more precise, it was just me. The monster didn’t even move like a fixed wall.

Awesome!

Instead, mouths flew towards me as I was floating in the air. Some of them can be avoided, but some of them require giving up some flesh. This was the conclusion I came to after losing my footing.

“It is a foolish action.”

Then, a sight came rapidly closer.

“It’s mass is equivalent to that of a planet. “It may be a tentacle, but it is impossible to push the real body away.”

“...I didn’t know that.”

Suddenly!

The somewhat thin sword cut the tentacles, stiffening me, and grabbed the hem of my cloak with one hand. It was a very delicate position to give power to whatever was trying to throw me or whatever.

“Fold your legs.”

“...?”

“We build on each other.”

However, if this is the intention, it is rather accurate. The moment I understood what he was saying, I bent my knees and straightened my feet. It was Erutalc’s foot that overlapped exactly with the sole of my foot.

The two bodies flew away, narrowly avoiding the tentacles, and landed again on the snowy field.

thud!

But in the end, this is nothing more than avoiding a brief crisis. My brows furrowed as I saw no solution to the situation.

Ah, when will the Inquisitor come?

I missed the round, red hair that hadn’t even been long since we broke up.

* * *

“Huh huh huh.”

Meanwhile, the Deathbringer headed beyond, feeling the icy cold wind. In his hand, he holds the subspace bracelet that the adventurer gave him.

“Fucking far away...!”

The snow that falls a little higher than your ankles and the black river that blocks your path are just the worst. It’s fortunate that I didn’t get cursed by falling into the black river, but it’s actually not much different from a curse in that my clothes get wet and my body temperature drops.

“eww...!”

Should I be glad that all the rivers only reach my shins, or should I be distressed that my legs have lost feeling because of it?

The Deathbringer exhaled, barely recovering himself from a fall. The inside of my body was filled with heat, but it was so painful to feel cold when the heat was released. As a blessing, I needed at least some kind of tool.

“shit!”

But he doesn’t have that ability.

The Deathbringer continued running with a gaping face and purple-stained lips. The black rivers that are gradually gathering are showing him that the direction he is heading is right.

Although it didn’t tell me how far I had to go or how much time was left.

“Sigh.”

Still, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go. Because this is the only thing he can do.

Deathbringer pictured those who would remain and fight fiercely, and forced his slowly slowing body to slow down. The black water that soaked his body froze and occasionally dripped, leaving traces on the white snow. It was a heavy and cold mark.

“Fuck...”

It feels like my toes have fallen off.

The young man smiled, wondering if this was a sign of frostbite. Behind his awkward smile lies a shallow belief that the Inquisitor will be able to cure this.

“San... even frostbite can be cured... right...?”

I’m a person who can restore mutilated bodies, but I can’t possibly treat even a single frostbite. Deathbringer comforted himself like that and barely moved. Tick. It was at that time that I heard the sound of something breaking.

“Ah... fuck. That’s fucked.”

The only thing he noticed was that a crack the size of a grain of wheat had appeared right in front of him.
