chapter 30
30. Shaiza’s Spear (2)
30. Shaiza’s Spear (2)
Denas Yeseul drinks the white paper potion I gave him at once. Then she lost the life in her eyes. He heard the whitening potion.
“With this… It can be said that there are no additional undead.”
The question is how to escape from here. Zakat. No matter what I do, I can’t draw a picture of defeating that existence. Fortunately, Zakat did not destroy the portal, but stabbed the center of the portal with great force.
Only the power was cut off, but the portal itself was unharmed. As it is a portal powered by ancient power, it will be restored with time. The question is whether I can hold out while the portal is being restored. What should I do? Get out of the Magic Tower? If you leave the magic tower and wander around, you might be lucky enough to find another magic tower or magic school. And if you ask for help…
What do you mean by request? Is there anything more to say than to die together? In the first place, no one can stop Zakat. Even if you build a powerful expedition and attack Zakat all at once, the odds of winning are slim. Then how. What should I do?
“Ugh… “
“Senior Denas?”
“Woros… me… Sorry. I doubt you.”
“It’s okay. First of all, I only think about surviving here. Let’s go back and talk about other things.”
Denas nods her head helplessly. Then Denas grabs her breasts and complains of her pain. Then, black magic power was released from her body.
“Ugh, ugh.”
“Senior? What’s wrong? Senior Denas?”
“Gwa, it’s okay… are you okay.”
Chiik—- The black magic power that was emitted with the sound gathered in one place, and then it became a single ore and fell to the floor. This item is something I am familiar with.
As I was looking at this object that looked exactly like , I was able to get a sense of how this incident went. With the knowledge that the demon shook off, an item with the same effect as this item was created and implanted in Denas’ body.
Its power may be lower than , But since this item was created by the devil, it is an item that the devil understands well.
Because I understand it, I was able to bring out that ability perfectly. That is why he succeeded in summoning General Dong and the winter ghost, which was impossible in the original work. And most of the materials that make up this item…
“I feel hopelessness and hatred. Did Denas-senpai feel a little more comfortable?”
“Yes… Because it comes out of the body. Strangely, I feel better.”
“I see.”
As expected, this item seems to be an item that has lumped Denas Yeseul’s hatred and despair. I was simply holding my hand. It’s powerful enough to make you feel bad. If something like this enters your body, it is certain that you will be overcome with hatred at once.
I put this item in an empty glass bottle and closed the lid. I wanted to investigate this item if given the chance. No, what am I thinking carefree?
Shouldn’t we just think about going back from here?
At that time, a possibility passed through my mind.
Even if you use that method, there is no guarantee that you will survive perfectly. However, you can increase the odds very slightly. Right now, we have no choice but to rely on even small odds. Thinking so, I put her hand on her shoulder and faced her.
“Senior. Please listen carefully.”
“Huh? Huh.”
“As you may have seen earlier, we are in a situation where extremely strong undead are targeting us. You know?”
“Yes… “
I nodded and continued.
“The portal to the academy will be reactivated soon. I’ll distract the undead for a moment. Get out through the portal. If I confirm that senpai is leaving, I will escape no matter what.”
“Escape by any means? Why are you talking so easily? No! Then, if something goes wrong, you.”
“Senior!”
Denas’s eyes widen.
“If that monster takes even one step into the academy, there will be no turning back. Did you know?”
“Yes… “
“If I fail to escape, break the exit.”
“No!”
“Senior!”
I have no intention of making a noble sacrifice like the main character in the story. The reason I got involved in this is because of Shaiza.
Zakat is Shaiza’s apprentice. I don’t know why, but I don’t think it’s okay to make Zakat kill an academy student.
If that happens, Shaiza. It seems that Shaiza, the great sage respected by everyone, will no longer be. I want to stop that at all costs. The only way to do that would be to tether Zakat to Telkan and destroy the portal.
Most of all, if the academy is destroyed, it means that the world of , Which I have been in love with, will also disappear. Hate. No matter how you play, there is no end to the academy being destroyed.
Zakat is stronger than me. The speed will also be much faster. Will he watch me go out of the portal? Absolutely not. Conversely, if I don’t go out, Zakat doesn’t go out either. For that reason, the only way to keep Zakat tied to Telcan is if I stay.
That doesn’t mean I’m willing to make sacrifices. I’m thinking of taking a bet on something I don’t even know about.
“Please. Please. There is no other way.”
“But… okay.”
“Thank you.”
“If you go out, as soon as you go out… Woros I’ll tell you about your situation… No, also… “
“I have to. And, I am the heir to the Blood family. They have their own means to protect themselves.”
I looked at Denas and smiled.
“Perhaps I can decapitate that undead and take the wagon back to the academy myself.”
“Woros, but.”
“Let’s go. Senior denas. Please. You must do it.”
I stood up, took Denas’ hand, and lifted her up. Then Zakat’s voice rang out.
ㅡ “Waros Blood! I know what’s inside Come out now!”
I pulled out a bottle of medicine from a pocket wrapped around my waist. It is a mass of hatred that came out of Denas’ body a while ago. I uncapped the vial and poured the hate mass into my hand. That’s how I squeezed the lump of hatred in my hand.
“Senior Denas. When I return, I will keep my promise. And trust me, the pet thing is a real misunderstanding.”
“Yes, yes. I will believe I’m sorry, I’m really sorry for misunderstanding you until now.”
“My sister’s keepsakes are in the Shiza market. Now, a senior who graduated from the engineering major was in charge of the construction. If you go to the cloakroom, you should be able to find it. It’s a music box, but you’ll know it when you see it.”
At my words, Denas nodded his head. She clings tightly to the hem of her dress and doesn’t think to let go. If you look closely, you can see tears welling up in her eyes.
“Yes. Woros, when you return safely, let’s look for it together. Together. We will definitely go together.”
“Yes. Then, senior, please.”
“Actually, I don’t want to do it. I don’t want to. If not… Same as before. He found her sister only when needed, and did not listen to any of her sister’s requests… It’s the same as back then… “
Kwakwang!ㅡ
Zakat, exhausted from waiting, seems to be destroying the mage tower. She can’t take any more time. If this happens and the portal is buried under the rubble of the building, she will die as well as Denath.
I sighed and stared at Denas.
“I will. I will… “
“Good idea. Let’s go now. There is no time.
Denas nods her head slowly. Her gestures are tinged with hesitation. I know. Denas Yesul will not be able to destroy her portal. So if Denas leaves, the portal will have to be destroyed with my own hands.
“The portal is right upstairs. Go out and follow the hallway to her left, there will be stairs. I will go to the passage on the right and lure that undead.”
“Woros, definitely-“
“Let’s go. There is no time.”
I interrupted Denas. Because I really didn’t have time. In response to her actions, Denas tightly closed her eyes and bowed her head.
“Okay.”
“Then let’s go.”
“…… “
She runs towards her door with her head down. Looking at her back, I whispered softly.
“See you again at the academy.”
As if he had heard me, Denas stopped walking. She turns to me and nods her head. Then open the door and go out, as I said, run to the passage on the left.
I don’t have time. I squeezed the lump of hate created by the devil and stepped out into the hallway.
Deciding that Denas had arrived upstairs, I took a deep breath and shouted at her.
“Zakat! Shaiza’s spear! I am here! Do not run or hide! If you want to see me, come and see me!”
My voice resonates in the mage tower. Then, shortly after, with a bang!— Dust rose from the ceiling, and Zakat landed in front of me. As I was looking at the shards of the ceiling rolling around, Zakat looked at me and opened his mouth.
“Shaiza’s successor. Woros Blood.”
“You have a new face. Zakat.”
Zakat, who was in the form of a skeleton, suddenly had a face. A middle-aged man with a scarred face and a short beard. His hair is tied back in a ponytail. The compact appearance, at first glance, looked like a capable warrior.
“I thought he ran away.”
“If I run away, will you let me go?”
“No. It can’t be.”
“I knew you would, and I stopped thinking of running away from the beginning.”
Zakat strikes the floor with a spear. The shock wave of murderous intent created by the spear made my skin numb. I squeezed the lump of hate and opened my mouth.
“Zakat. What is your purpose?”
“Simple. It is to erase all traces of Shaiza. I, Shaiza’s spear Zakat, will erase all traces of Shaiza with my own hands.”
“You admired Shaiza. The original you would never have made that choice.”
“The me before and now are separate people. Is there any reason why I should look into the circumstances of others?”
“Is that so?”
I sighed, dumped the lump of hatred into my mouth, and swallowed it whole.
“I am weaker than Shaiza’s spear Zakat. You can’t beat him no matter what.”
“… You didn’t shrink at all when you said that.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. You may be Zakat, but you are not Shayza’s Spear.”
“…… “
I can definitely feel the lump of hate going down my gullet. It’s because the place where the lump passes is hot.
“You are just a monster resurrected by borrowing the body of Shaiza’s spear. Shai Ja’s spear, she knows as a title built for her spear warrior who guards her.”
“…… “
“A monster like you is not a light enough title to claim yourself.”
Diring!ㅡ
「Mechanical Heart」
● Due to the decrease in karma, the stat penalty level has been lowered to 5th grade.
As I expected, the hate mass had the effect of lowering my karma level. Of course. No matter how good a person is, the moment they are blinded by hatred, they tend to become evil. Depending on the effect of the item, I feel like I’m gradually becoming a villain.
An unknown hatred begins to bloom.
Fortunately, it wasn’t just the role of lowering the karma level, it was that I myself was engulfed in hatred. I feel a tremendous murderous intent for Zakat right in front of me. It makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs and take out my intestines right now.
Diring!ㅡ
「Mechanical Heart」
● Due to the decrease in karma, the stat penalty level has been lowered to 4th grade.
My heart starts beating. It makes me want to rip his mouth open, shove the wreckage of the ceiling he’s rolling over into it, and kick his jaws. No. Will do it right now
“For an heir to Shaiza, I was wondering because I thought he was too ordinary. As expected, you were hiding your power.”
“…… “
“Where should I take a look at my skills?”
Diring!ㅡ
「Mechanical Heart」
●Due to the decrease in karma, the stat penalty level has been lowered to 2 levels.
I took out the dagger from my belt and squeezed it tightly. I plan to pluck out his eyes, swap his left and right eyeballs, and transplant them. I couldn’t stand it any longer. I decided to slowly think about how to torture and kill him.
Diring!ㅡ
「Mechanical Heart」
●Due to the decrease in karma, the 1st stage of stat correction is applied.
I feel like I’m losing my reason. I don’t know how much of a monster this mass of hate will turn me into. But the closer I got to the monster, the better my chances of survival would be. Zakat in its heyday might not work, but Zakat revived by an external force might be worth trying.
Anything seems possible now.
“What are you doing without coming?”
“… They said it was a pierced mouth.”
“…… “
“If you so desire, I will split open the stomach and take out the intestines right now.”
Surprisingly, he was sincere. I was going crazy wanting to rip his belly open right now. The limit of patience has arrived.
I kicked off the ground and ran towards Zakat. My footprints were stamped on the floor, and I arrived in front of Zakat at an astonishing speed. When I was surprised by the ridiculous physical ability, and I was dazed for a while. Zakat’s fist flies.
Fast Deuk!ㅡ
“Ugh!”
Kwagwawang!ㅡ Kwagwang!ㅡ Bang!ㅡ
“Heo Eok!”
When I closed my eyes and opened them, the place had changed. At the end of a long, long darkness, a ray of light was visible. Soon after, I realized that with Zakat’s single punch, I fell through the floor of the magic tower and fell deep underground.
The place where I and Zakat confronted each other was at least 5 stories tall, so if you add up the height of the building that penetrated the basement, I felt like I had fallen 25m.
Diring!ㅡ
「Mechanical Heart」
● Due to the decrease in karma, the 2nd stage of stat correction is applied.
●You are gradually losing your sense of self.
However, to my surprise, my body didn’t hurt at all. The only thing that hurts is the fact that I was sunk into the ground with the ground intact, and the frustration that comes from not being able to tear the guy’s mouth right away makes my heart hurt.
However, the result will be the same, although the time is slightly delayed. I gripped the dagger and straightened my posture. At that time, the light seen in the distance was briefly blocked by something. As for what it was, I didn’t miss my senses with the ability correction.
Above my head, a spear was flying at incredible speed.
