Episode 124. Adrias’ Greed
The monster’s appearance was quite grotesque.
Perhaps it was because the first appearance resembled a fetus, something long from the belly button floated next to him like a balloon, and it was a mixture of brown and black fur and two huge horns.
It walks on two legs, and its hands look like those of a primate, so it can use tools, but it has been performing simple attacks by swinging its fists while clenching itself.
‘If it’s a problem, that black smoke.’
I don’t know if Beriel was controlling the black smoke or that monster was controlling it, but I swung it with black smoke wrapped around my fists.
Is it a regression punch?
Not only that, but the whole body was covered with black smoke as if to protect it, so I couldn’t approach it recklessly.
If you make a mistake, you will relapse, so you have to be careful.
‘But what about this.’
The unexpected advantage of the necromancer shined here as well.
Kagagakak!
Nickel, who blocked the unknown monster’s fist with his sword, had no reaction to the black smoke.
I didn’t care at all whether the black smoke was wrapped around me or passed through my body, and I just swung my sword.
―Bake it!
While Nickel, Timur, and the shadows of the Milky Way stopped the monster, Ludo’s greatsword fell precisely on the monster’s head.
Kwajik! Kwaaang-!
‘end?’
I was surprised for a while to see the monster crushing so blandly than expected, but I didn’t let my guard down.
Looking at Beriel, who was looking at me as if mocking me in the first place, I could confirm that the battle was not over yet.
kudeudeuk.
The body of the monster was reconstructed as if time had turned back.
Advertise that it is very related to regression.
‘Is there a separate gimmick after all?’
I thought maybe I couldn’t win this episode alone.
“No one can take my city! never! never!”
Beriel, who was still shedding tears of blood, burst into mad laughter and was delighted.
“Warriors of Lethe! To those disquieting ones... ... .”
“Let’s be quiet.”
A black wind swept over Beriel.
That monster was covered in black smoke, so I decided to leave it to the undead and deal with Beriel.
“I! Do you know how I maintain this city! Dare to the intruder subject!”
“Beriel.”
Kwaji support!
The sword was blocked by Beriel’s transparent shield, but it soon cracked.
He said while catching up with Beliel, who hurriedly retreated.
“I am not curious about your story. I don’t even want to understand.”
“Shut up! You disquieting seed!”
Kwaaang-!
A white ray of light was shot without any spells, only with mana arrays.
I had felt it before, but it was a form of magic I had never seen before.
Is it also ancient times?
‘But it’s too simple.’
The destructive power is strong, but I’m not stupid, and the only person who can get hit by something like that is a small pike.
“I can roughly guess. The Fire Dragon Expedition you tricked probably failed. And an angry Fire Dragon attacked this city.”
“ah... ... .”
“And the power that covered this space is probably the power of Lethe. It looks like you did something to Lethe to get rid of the shit you made... ... .”
Kwajik! Kwaaang-!
The protective shield shattered and Beriel’s shaking eyes came into view.
“I bet you never thought it would be like this, did you?”
“That is not so. this this... ... !”
“I know. God is something that is difficult for us to understand. I somewhat agree with you why you keep shouting that to Evan. Perhaps you were purely trying to undo the horrors of the city from the Fire Dragon’s attack.”
Anyway, even if I kill Beriel now, he will return.
That’s why I didn’t bother to attack the opponent who was standing in a daze.
“But Lethe would have listened to me straight away. I must have made your prayers come true in a completely inconsiderate way. Am I right?”
Beriel silently shed bloody tears.
“This space is the result of Lethe’s power. A day in the city that repeats itself forever, and that is just before the attack of the Fire Dragon. Maybe my guess is right.”
The number of regressions counted up to 100.
It wasn’t that I just went back without thinking.
I tried to analyze the reason or cause.
I’ve already cleared several ruins and dungeons related to the ancient era through my experience in the game, so I know roughly what the existence of God is like.
I recently experienced it myself.
‘sloth.’
sloth special skill.
I guessed that the transcendent emotional state I felt after using sloth was probably the feeling the gods were feeling.
If that’s the case, then a dungeon with such an insincere and inconsiderate form would make no sense.
“I saw children who lost their parents in the alleys of the slums. Have you seen it?”
“that is... ... What do you mean?”
“Repeat the same time every day. Every day, wondering if my parents would come back. It doesn’t matter if it’s simply a welcome. But don’t you know?”
Beriel did not answer.
After putting the undead back in, I turned my head to the exploding sound, and Evan finally broke the dragon heart. In an instant
,
the mana exploded, shocking the surroundings, and the entire city began to tremble
.
Evan’s cry echoed and disappeared before he knew it.
Looking at the place where he had disappeared, there was a group of lights that looked like a portal.
“Clear!”
It was proof of clearing the dungeon.
Now, if you go out through that portal, the game leads to a room that gives rewards, but I don’t know what will happen here. What is
certain is that you can escape from here.
‘Evan just got swept away.’
Was breaking the dragon heart the correct answer?
Or was it lucky to break the gimmicks in order?
It was time to put aside my thoughts and get out.
Because the black smoke still persisted and was rampant.
“Eve!”
I shouted as hard as I could, but I couldn’t see her because of the black smoke.
That moment when I suppressed my slightly uneasy feelings.
“Friend...”
I caught a glimpse of Luna with a faint smile.
Now that I look at it, it seems that Eve’s advent has been resolved.
“Luna! It’s over now. Get out of here quickly.”
“It’s okay, friend. Go first.”
I felt something strange.
Why can’t I get out?
“Luna!”
“I’m sorry, friend.”
What are you sorry about?
“I can’t escape, hehe.”
An awkward laugh escaped from Luna’s mouth:
Can’t escape? what kind of bullshit is that
The black smoke had no place to go and gathered in Luna’s place like iron powder attracted by a magnet.
At first glance, Luna’s figure was faintly visible, but that figure was dangerous.
“Luna... ... .”
“Thank you very much my friend. i really... ... .”
Luna started to weep.
“really! I was happy! therefore! I hope your friend is okay! Leave me alone and get out!”
“What a dog sound!”
Is that crazy!
why do i leave you
“Get out quickly! There is no exit!”
As Luna said, the portal’s glow was slowly fading.
I’ve never experienced anything like this in a game.
“Because I’m fine... ... So, my friend, run away quickly. I’m okay!”
Luna’s brightly smiling face caught my eyes as it was stained with tears.
“I’m okay. because i’m used to it And there’s also Rulp... ... .”
Luna’s voice gradually fades.
As if it hadn’t arrived yet, the black smoke was growing endlessly.
“Thank you... ... So... ... Fine... ... .”
“Fuck me.”
I can’t do it if I don’t want to curse.
My happiness is more important than myself.
If I leave Luna like this and go outside, can I really be happy?
someone will say What is happiness so important?
But no matter what anyone says, it was the most important thing to me.
My happiness and the happiness of everyone I love.
That was my own conclusion from living as Kim Jinhwan and Adrias.
“I know you are listening. Are you aware of this situation?”
I shouted around with no one around.
“So give it to me now. Save Luna right now!”
[“It’s greed.”]
A voice like a child echoed in my brain.
I was listening too.
original sin.
“Anyway, I won’t go out until I save Luna. Does it matter if I just rot here? Wouldn’t that be a good story for you too?”
[“Greed is not bad. I never said it was bad.”]
My heart split.
But there was no pain.
[“That’s a nice idea for ‘greed’!”]
A black crown appeared in front of me.
