Chapter 106: Ego (1)

Chapter 106: Ego (1)

A counterattack.

The vanguard was, of course, the decisive weapon, the [Qinberg Machine Tower].

The Qinberg Machine Tower performed very well.

Dwarves boasted technological prowess comparable to that of the Mage Tower, even if they went in different directions.

Wasnt the [Qinberg Machine Tower] built by those dwarves solely to hunt demons?

Crack!

An earthquake was caused by a machine tower that hit the ground.

What is that?

R-Run away!!

Arrrgh!!

That sound was terrifying to demons.

That machine is knocking down the demons.

God

What the hell is this!

It was a hope for those who suffered from the demons.

Of course, the demons didnt sit still.

In order to stop the machine tower.

They took enormous damage and entered the [Qirnberg Machine Tower].

Wiiing!

But it was a misjudgment.

As seen in the [Qirnberg Machine Tower] rupture, the inside of the machine tower was literally full of traps. No, more than a trap, it was like hell for the demons.

Its silver!! Damn iiit!!

It made players mistake it for competitive content.

A trap made of silver penetrated the demons weakness.

The demons managed to shut down the [Qirnberg Machine Tower] only after suffering a great deal of damage. Only one out of the dozens of them.

What kind of bastards are they?

The demons momentum was broken.

The opponent was an unstoppable machine.

It was also a decisive weapon that used itself as a sacrifice and proceeded with the exorcism until the end. In the end, the demons chose to avoid the [Qinberg Machine Tower] rather than attack it.

The Qirnberg Machine Tower is our beacon!

Chase the machine tower!

There is a machine tower behind us. Dont back down!

Survivors gathered in the direction of the tower.

Some people used the machine tower as an escort to reach their destination, while others gained courage from the machine tower and fought against the demons.

Did this mean that there was still hope on the Arcana continent?

They got the blessing of a new World Tree.

For the first time since the demons appeared.

The demons force was faltering.

The news spread quickly throughout the continent.

Thump!

A tremor felt from far away.

The roaring sound made by the [Qirnberg Machine Tower] as it moved.

The tremor was also transmitted to the dwarves who were hiding in their hideouts.

Were there any survivors left in Akshan?

That was the trigger for the dwarves to move.

Thump!

Not long after they moved, something came up over the Arcana continent.

A flying boat so huge that it was amazing it could fly in the sky.

The culmination of dwarven technology had begun its flight.

Bang bang!

A barrage of bombs poured down from flying boat,,

Dwarves flying boat, along with the Qinberg Machine Tower, became another disaster for the demons.

Why was this happening to the Arcana continent?

Even those who fought back.

And both the demons couldnt even imagine the reason.

It couldnt be helped.

The fact that this all came from only one person.

It was only natural that they couldnt even imagine it yet.

.

.

.

The nymph delivered the news of the Arcana continent.

Thanks to that, I felt it a little bit.

Wow, Ive done one hell of a job.

Its worth the fuss of being a real legacy.

[Qirnberg Machine Tower].

It seemed to be performing extremely well, befitting its name as a decisive battle weapon for the great demons.

I did think that it could properly hunt down the demons from within.

To the point that those vicious guys actually avoid it.

It must be because of the good compatibility.

After all, the demons biggest weapon was [status abnormality]. Well, even the elder mages of the Mage Tower, who were called demigods, got swayed by their [status abnormality].

It naturally wont work on machines.

When I thought about it like that, I felt flabbergasted.

Could it be that Akshan even thought of that compatibility?

Then they were really demon hunters.

Even their way of thinking is just like the demons natural enemy.

Of course, it wasnt just admirable.

I was the one who had operated the [Qirnberg Machine Tower].

Yeah, I had a legitimate right.

[Experience point is accumulating in the decisive battle weapon, Qirnber Machine Tower.]

[Fame is accumulating in the decisive battle weapon, Qirnber Machine Tower.]

[You obtain the right to acquire the accumulated experience and fame.]

Yes?

Look around.

?!

[Morspike Mercenarys Vengeful Ghost: Lv.560]

[Morspike Mercenarys Vengeful Ghost: Lv.560]

[Morspike Mercenarys Vengeful Ghost: Lv.560].

It happened in an instant.

The moment Klee reached for the bi-herb.

Float

Ghosts surrounded Klee.

U-Ugh!

It was as if they were waiting for the moment Klee picked the bi-herb.

They were stuck on the wall of the cave, with only their head exposed, staring at Klee.

T-Thank you. Chief!

Clee freaked out and pulled out of the bi-herbs.

Then she asked me.

Chief, do you know that bi-herb?

I did.

Because I had knowledge acquired through [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge].

The knowledge was telling me.

The name of the plant.

Ethereal grass.

Ethereal grass? As expected, with my limited insight, this is the first time Ive heard of it

It is natural to not know. Klee Odia.

Yeah, it was only natural that she didnt know.

This bi-herb was not common.

I recited its effect.

Ethereal grass has the power to attract the soul. Therefore, it can also be used as an elixir ingredient for necromancers. However, to those who dont know its value, it is nothing more than an ominous plant that attracts ghosts.

Klee seemed to realize it then.

Necromancer So its not known.

Necromancer was rare in the Arcana continent.

Among players, the necromancer class was extremely rare.

Even the terms of the transfer were unknown. I heard that it was treated as a hidden class.

But the reason why the ethereal grass was unknown.

Thats not the only reason.

I looked at the vengeful ghosts who seemed to be disappointed.

Were trying to appease their regret with me?

Soon, those who escaped from the wall took up a fighting stance.

But, you have chosen the wrong opponent.

Even if I had a sword at my side.

Even if I looked like this, I was still a mage.

I was also the chief mage of the Mage Tower.

Although I am just a parachute.

Just like how the demon hunters and demons were natural enemies.

Mages and ghosts were the same way.

I opened my mouth, raising my mana.

I have a question. Klee Odia.

A question? Yes, Ill do my best to answer it!

Do you think that ethereal grass with such unusual effects could grow anywhere?

Uhm, no! Bi-herbs are plants that are closely influenced by the environment!

Klee-nim, you have deep knowledge of bi-herbs.

N-No! I am not great enough for spirit-nim to praise me!!

As the nymph said, it was the correct answer.

Even the four-colored mistletoe collected in the [Predators Swamp]. It was able to grow from a normal mistletoe to a precious bi-herb under the influence of the seed of the World Tree.

So then, what factors do you think that influenced the ethereal grass to grow here, in the Mantra Mine?

Um, thats

Kle couldnt answer easily.

It wasnt something to ask.

It was only natural that she couldnt answer.

I wouldnt have guessed it at all if it werent for the knowledge of all the plants and minerals Id acquired from the [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge].

Ethereal grass grows only where ethereal iron is buried.

In terms of rarity.

That mineral was a type that could be counted on one finger.

It seemed to be buried in the closed Mantra Mine.

Sssss

Mospike mercenaries vengeful ghosts rushed at me.

Yeah, it makes sense if it was ethereal iron.

Those mercenaries must have also entered the Mantra Mine aiming for valuable treasure. However, ethereal iron couldnt be easily collected or smelted.

Of course, such things didnt matter to me.

Collecting it?

I had the [Pentragtam of Pure Knowledge].

Smelting it?

Including the ethereal iron.

Any mineral could be smelted.

The news about dwarves.

What I just heard from the nymph.

So, youre the only ones who are the problem.

Rapid exploration and interference.

I unleashed mana.

Crack!

!!!

The ghosts froze.
