Chapter 1083
Episode 1083
A mass grave being dug by the 1st Corps.
Simon, Maylin, and Jules, who passed through the secret door there, were quickly running through the space beyond the door.
It was a straight underground tunnel, and it looked like a passageway leading to another place. First of all, Manus and the Demon Sword were not immediately visible.
“excuse me!”
Meilin, waving her long hair, pointed forward with her other hand.
The road was busy, but the aisles were filled with something. It looked like people were standing in line, but when I looked again, it wasn’t people.
A strange look appeared in Simon’s eyes.
‘Undead!’
The three people stopped and prepared for battle. One by one, the dead people who were lined up filling the passage turned their heads and looked at Simon and his group.
and.
“….”
“….”
Nothing happened.
Those dead people are like, ‘Kyaaak!’ He didn’t even make the common sounds, nor did he have the usual symptoms of intermittent writhing.
It looked like a person.
An expressionless face, emotionless eyes, no screaming or lunging. I just stare
blankly. Simon had goosebumps all over his body.
‘What is that?’
Undeads whose anger toward the living has become stronger.
They just stare blankly at Simon and his group. What on earth is the 1st Corps
making here?
“What should I do?”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Meilin’s face as well. She watched as Jool stepped in front of her and grabbed the hilt of her magic sword.
“I will warn you. “Get out of there.”
Sreung!
The magic sword’s strike slashed the zombies once, causing small wounds on
their bodies. Even though he only made a threat, there was an immediate response. As if remembering something, the undead turned around one by one and
began walking, extending their fingernails or flashing their teeth.
Aggression has arisen, but there is still no anger.
He seemed like a person from anywhere in the world, just doing what he had to do.
“It doesn’t look like you have any intention of just letting me go. Let’s break through.”
Simon took the lead with the Great Sword of Destruction. Meilin and Jules also nodded.
“I’ll cover you with firepower from behind!”
Meilin unfolded the magic circles she had prepared one after another. In her
magic circle, five-colored brilliant aurorae fluttered like fairy wings and wrapped around her body.
The colorful aurora entered her hand and took the shape of a staff. Floating her wand in the air, lightly placing her butt on it, she flew into the air. Auroras
were woven above her head, forming the shape of a large witch’s hat.
She muttered, pulling down the brim of her hat to cover one eye.
“calculation.”
Ugh!
Wooooow!
The witch hat she is wearing is a device for ‘surrogate computation’. As the Aurora rotates, thousands of cases are calculated.
“capture.”
In front of her, countless magic circles spread out like flower buds.
“Start shelling.”
The roar that followed was deafening.
Conversation skills that make it difficult to see clearly. Fire, ice, earth, and even wind. The magic of the four elements wiped out all the approaching undead.
“Great job Meilin!”
A smile of admiration spread across Simon’s lips. Meirin winked and returned
her concentration to chanting her spell.
“Then let us take the lead and open the way, Juul.”
Simon said, bending his knees.
“Can I leave you next to me?”
“Say the obvious.”
Juul, like Simon, took a charging stance with his hand lightly placed on the handle of the magic sword.
“When swinging a magic sword, the tempo can be rough. “You really need to come to your senses.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Simon grinned and put Peer’s helmet on completely.
[let’s go.]
Taaat!
Taaaat!
The two boys kicked off the ground at the same time and swung their swords.
White and black sword strikes were drawn frantically across the front.
Meirin, riding on a staff, followed them and poured artillery fire as far and wide as possible, greatly reducing the number of undead, while Simon and Jule cleared out the undead that were attacking them.
The road was opening up quickly.
‘I think the undead Manus just passed through here.’
Simon’s eyes became serious.
‘What are you trying to do? Manus!’
* * *
Manus, who took up the Dragonian suit, passed through a group of zombies blocking the entrance and arrived at a location.
The empty place had a lonely atmosphere.
A space where the surroundings can be seen hazily due to the luminescent minerals that emit a soft light embedded throughout the cave. Manus walked forward as if possessed.
[….]
A large coffin was placed in the empty space.
Manus felt ‘sadness’ when he saw this.
sadness.
I feel dizzy and my core trembles. Thoughts keep bringing back certain emotions.
[That in front of you is the emperor’s tomb.]
A third person’s voice echoes.
Manus moved his body and looked at the place where the voice came from. Because it was in a dark place, I couldn’t see the body properly, but I could see t
he giant’s legs coming out of the darkness.
It was a leg covered in metal armor. He appeared to be sitting in his seat, with
his hands clasped in front of his legs. The jet black that constantly seeped out
between the joints of the armor seemed to prove that it was not ‘living.’
[It’s been a while. My comrades.]
Sigh.
Manus raised jet black to the sword in his hand. The other person in the dark,
who saw Manus’ attack stance, spoke sadly.
[Isn’t the direction in which you are aiming your sword wrong? We were once
loyal to the imperial family as sword masters of the empire.]
[….]
[The person you should aim your sword at is your false master, Simon Pollentia, commander of the 7th Legion.]
Sreung!
When Manus swung his sword and let the sword strike fly, he cried out in the
darkness! And sparks flew. The clear sound of metal clashing against metal resonated, and the surrounding area became illuminated by the jumping sparks, and then turned into darkness again.
Seeing the figure hidden in the darkness, Manus’s heartbeat became even more intense.
[Now you know who I am.]
Coo thump.
The driver slowly got up from his seat and approached. When the darkness cleared, a giant dead man wrapped in huge silver armor walked out.
The front of the armor was like the neat and colorful armor typical of the 1st
Legion, but the armor on the back was peeled off, exposing bare, rotted skin, and a huge arrow and sword were stuck in the back like a hedgehog.
[I am Hector, the former Knight of the Sun. This image represents my life.]
In the darkness beyond the helmet, the only eye was slit horizontally, emitting
light.
[The empire fell due to betrayal, and I was also turned against by the subordinates I cared about. The biggest enemy of loyalty is always betrayal. However, I
obtained this body and was finally able to serve my master with complete loyalty.]
He suddenly extended his hand to Manus.
[Would you like to abandon that unsightly body and join me?]
Percussion!
Manus shook off the hand and held out his sword.
At the same time.
Rumbling.
Jet black was flowing out from the snow pit like water.
[…sadness.]
Another new reason bloomed from the skull of the extinct Manus and fully blossomed.
[…I understand sadness.]
[you.]
Hector’s eyes distorted.
[It’s not Manus. But it doesn’t matter. If you have inherited the will of Manus,
you are worthy to serve my master.]
However, Manus did not tell the right story. He just continues to shed pitch blackness.
[sad. I can’t bear it.]
Pajik!
Pajik! Pajik! Pajik!
Purple sparks of chaos continued to emerge from the Dragonian suit controlled by Manus.
[You are a grave. tomb. To the grave. That is rest.]
[The residual thoughts at the bottom created a strange reason.]
Hector looked down at Manus and raised his sword.
[I can’t do it. I have no choice but to take that head by force.]
[sad.]
Manus, raising his sword, kicked the floor and rushed forward. Hector also swung the claymore.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A roar echoed through the tomb in the darkness.
* * *
After breaking through the endless undead, Simon and the others were running until they were out of breath. Now we are not in a cave, but in a place that is
reminiscent of some kind of ruins. There were traces and letters of mana flowing all over the wall.
Peer’s eyes moved frantically as he read the words written on the wall.
[Hehehe! Interesting!]
‘Did you find out anything? Bloom!’
[Yes, boy! This appears to have been the emperor’s tomb.]
The peak of the empire, the emperor.
There were several emperors who ruled the empire, Peer said, but it was not immediately clear which one was which.
[I’ve only heard about the Emperor’s Tomb through rumors, but this is my first time seeing it in person! At a time when the empire’s rejection of necromancers was at its peak, I heard that when the emperor died, all the vassals and knights who served him were buried together in a huge tomb. Did you say it was a
sign of loyalty to prevent being manipulated by necromancers and to protect the emperor even in death?]
‘The tomb was located underground here in Mahihala Village!’
It seemed that the 1st Corps was excavating the knights and soldiers buried in
this tomb.
Although nothing has yet been revealed about the 1st Legion’s method of creating special undead and the special armor they wear, it seemed like we were getting closer to the secrets of the 1st Legion.
‘At this point, I can only see that there is some relationship between the 1st Corps and the Talhern Empire. Was it like that from the beginning?’
[Hehehe! No way! There was no particular connection between the 1st Legion
and the lost empire. If there were, other necromancers wouldn’t have stayed quiet. This must be something that happened relatively recently!]
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
At that moment, Simon suddenly came to his senses at the sound echoing and
raised his head.
‘This sound!’
It’s not that far away.
Simon shouted, pumping jet black into his legs faster.
“I’ll go first!”
“Now, wait a minute! Simon is dangerous!”
Simon spewed jet black all over his body and ran towards the place where he
heard the sound. The surrounding scenery passes by quickly. A high speed that
makes it difficult to clearly see the surroundings.
Hahaha!
The sound of swords clashing against each other is heard once again.
There was a target in front of me. Manus and someone were fighting.
[Be careful boy! It is at least ancient level!]
Wow!
Hector, the former Knight of the Sun, swung the claymore with force. Manus,
overcome by his strength, flew and hit the wall, and Hector raised his sword to
finish him off.
[It’s over.]
That moment.
Simon flashed above his head and spun around. Hector, who was trying to finish off Manus, repeatedly ducked his body and raised his great sword above his
head to parry the attack.
Woooooooooo!
It was an attack filled with Peer’s strength, but Hector blocked it so calmly that he turned his head.
[Who are you?]
[I guess this is not the time to worry about me.]
Simon mumbled and stretched out his arms. The chaos that reached out to Simon’s hand dwelled in Manus’ body, and at that moment, Manus, charged with
power, took his stance.
Oh my gosh!
Manus’ sword strike passed through Hector’s chest.
