chapter 13
Episode 13 The Reality of Nervousness
“That, that, yes, that’s right.”
The knight made a puzzled expression and replied casually.
A 13-year-old is an age that is protected no matter what anyone says.
It didn’t make sense that Krashu had experience of eroding the world before that.
Then one of the knights next to him tapped him on the arm.
Balheim’s intermediate knights are virtually the lowest in Balheim.
This is a fight between the direct lineage.
It was clear that if they intervened, there would be blood in nine out of ten cases.
“Ah, ahahahaha! It was a joke!”
So the knight hurriedly left Krashu with a smile.
Meanwhile, Velokin was glaring at Krashu with frowning eyes.
Belokin couldn’t understand the current situation.
‘How on earth can I afford it?’
He said that when he first entered World Erosion, Krashu looked very different now.
I’m sure I’ll have to panic and make a lot of mistakes.
Krashu even gave advice to the knights.
‘How could that half-penny Krashu…….’
The appearance of Krashu is very different from before.
For some reason, it kept making him nervous.
At that moment, the eyes of Krashu and Belokin met.
Krache smiled at Velokin.
As if you and I are the same.
Belokhin bit his teeth hard and turned his head forward.
For some reason, I couldn’t look straight at Krashu.
Krashu knew that he would live on half a penny under him for the rest of his life.
But he changed overnight.
A question peeked up under the darkness deep within Belokin’s mind.
Maybe, just in case.
Couldn’t he be the most half-penny in Valheim?
If Krashu grows like Charlotte and eventually rises to the top…….
The person at the bottom…….
Belokin’s teeth snapped at the question that kept popping up.
‘No, no, no!’
Belokin made his way through the swamp.
His nervousness was evident in his movements.
He was originally a Bellokin who was in an unstable state of mind, feeling jealous of being inferior to Charlotte.
Ironically, the only safety device for Velokin was none other than Krache.
He is below himself.
And whenever he pressed down on it, Velokin gained a sense of psychological stability.
However, the bottom suddenly rose upward.
It was as if he would pierce himself and go up again.
The reason Belokin brought Krache today was to confirm that he was under him.
But a reality that was scarier than that fact was gradually tightening his throat.
If Krashu rises above himself.
There is only one floor left in Valheim.
Belokin’s mind was driven into it.
The thought of “Maybe” Kept bothering him.
“Brother, Velokin.”
“Uh, what?”
At that moment, Belokin, startled by the voice he heard, raised his head.
Looking at Velokin like that, Krache pointed forward.
“It seems that it has come to the owner’s place.”
Bellokin heard that and looked away belatedly.
As Krashu said, the color of the swamp gradually changed to black.
At a glance, it was clear that the place where the owner was was exuding a dangerous atmosphere.
“Hu, it was easier than I thought. Apparently, Krashu, you’re lucky. Because it was harder than this for me.”
Belokin trembled as he tried to suppress his trivial thoughts.
As if Krashu’s first experience of world erosion was no big deal.
And in fact, not only Velokin but also the knights were thinking the same thing.
“Aside from the owner, there doesn’t seem to be any other eroding species.”
Then the knights said as if they were relieved.
Because of the nature of the swamp, fighting is tricky.
There were only bugs at most, and they seemed relieved that they had passed without a major battle.
“So you should be more careful.”
But, towards such a knight and Velokin, Krashu was furious.
The moment Belokin frowned and the knights looked back incredulously, Krashu spoke as if teaching the obvious.
“The owner is dangerous enough to receive a 3-star rating even without an eroding species.”
The moment they heard what followed, everyone stiffened.
As the saying goes, the owner you have to deal with now is an eroding species that can maintain the world erosion alone without an eroding species.
I definitely needed to be careful.
But Belokin was upset that Krache denied his idea.
“Anyway, you sound like a timid guy. He is a 3 star at best. Why are you guys being so swayed by his words?”
Even though he himself was being swayed the most, Velokin scolded the knights.
Then, with his hand on the sword strapped to his waist, he began to stride inward.
The knights who looked like he was going ahead had no choice but to follow him in a hurry.
Belokin was central to this mission.
Krashu, who followed the knight and Velokin, felt something worse than swamp gas coming into his nose.
The scent that pierced the nostrils was the scent of a strong curse.
‘I roughly expected it.’
As expected, this owner seemed to be a pretty strong guy.
‘If anyone gets cursed with this, they’ll have a hard time.’
Or die without a chance to be cursed.
But as he had already given a warning earlier, Krashu didn’t really care.
The name Valheim isn’t even the name of a dog, Velokin is Valheim, and the knights belong to the same Valheim.
As far as Krache could see, it was a level that could be solved without major problems if one was not too vigilant.
So Krashu began to pay attention to other things.
What he focused on was none other than the power of world erosion itself.
The source of the power that makes the world erode.
It may not be visible to normal human eyes, but it was clearly visible to Krashu, who had been exposed to multiple curses on her body and had even mastered extreme blood poisoning.
The feeling of entering a place where gray smoke spreads thickly like fog.
It seemed that the power of world erosion would flow into Krashu at any moment, even if he breathed a little through his nose and mouth.
‘Maybe.’
Krashu, who has continued to learn Extreme Blood Poison, knows how to absorb and deal with this power.
However, theory and practice are different.
Even Crash, the power of world erosion was tense.
‘No, it has to be.’
As the events that would happen in the near future flashed by, Krashu clenched his fists.
If destruction cannot be prevented, there is no future anyway.
I’ve tried rolling around naked in Curse, but can’t I do this?
“Suck.”
At that moment, Krashu breathed in the power of world erosion.
Then gray smoke came in through Krashu’s nose at high speed, and soon began to spread all over his body.
“Keah!”
At that moment, Krashu involuntarily let out a sound from the intense pain that hit his whole body.
“Krashu?”
When the surprised knights turned around, Krashu covered his mouth and waved his hand as if he was okay.
“Sorry, I tripped.”
Krashu said that while trying to cover his mouth.
Then Belokin even showed some joy in his eyes and showed sympathy for Krache.
“Tsk, the world erosion is in its infancy. Tell me if it’s hard I’ll even ask one of the knights to carry it.”
It seems that he misunderstood that Krashu had finally reached his limit.
Leaving Belokin, who suddenly seemed to swell with strength, Krashu slowly removed his hand from covering his mouth.
Then what he saw was dark red blood.
As soon as he absorbed the power of world erosion, his body vomited blood.
‘Yeah, that’s right.’
World erosion is a powerful force that can change the surrounding environment.
It is more like a poison than a curse.
Since I drank it raw, it was only natural that my body couldn’t accept it.
But I had to accept it.
‘Extreme blood poisoning.’
It was because it was the extreme blood poison that was cooked for this purpose.
Krashu focused on his heartbeat with even breathing.
The power of world erosion slowly began to mix with the flow of aura so that the body could accept world erosion.
The Aura is like the trunk of a great river.
As it continued to circulate without stopping, as the power of world erosion was mixed, the power of erosion was gradually diluted.
It was mingled with the great river called Aura.
Demaris Valheim handled this river of aura very delicately.
And he wrote down the details of how to handle such delicately in his esoteric book.
It was because it was a necessary process to deal with extreme blood poisoning.
Krashu had read those esoteric books hundreds of times.
Now, even if I close my eyes, I can recall all the contents of the secret book.
So Krashu concentrated.
In order to bring out the true value of the secret technique called extreme blood poisoning.
As time passed, the body gradually became indistinguishable from the Aura and the power of world erosion.
Some of the colors in the aura turned dull, but it created another clear color.
Pet black black.
The color that no other color can be painted over.
Krashu exhaled slowly and opened his eyes.
For an instant, darkness fell in Krashu’s eyes and then disappeared.
“Ugh.”
At that moment, Krashu’s body shook.
Because the whole world was distorted and dyed red.
It was the aftermath of the madness that came out of the extreme blood poisoning.
Demaris Valheim must have gone mad after seeing this world.
Aware of that fact, Krashu groped his eyes.
It was time to use a secret technique that was temporarily learned for this purpose.
After Demaris Valheim, Cheongsong Hall was virtually closed.
However, the secret study was not undiscovered by everyone after that.
Just one person.
It was because a person who sees the world in a completely different way discovered a secret library.
Because he was blind, he was the one who had to be pushed behind the most among the direct lineage in Balheim.
He couldn’t read the secret book even though he found the secret library.
That’s why he had to close the door of the study again, but instead left a secret book, hoping that someone like him would not appear in the distant future.
Another sense to replace the eyes.
It spreads the aura in all directions like a fine thread, making everything perceptible.
My sixth sense.
It was an extrasensory perception that felt all senses through aura, not through physical senses.
‘Small.’
And unlike his blind ancestors, who had spent their entire lives learning the sixth sense, Krashu could only expand his weak aura to the size of his knuckles.
Even so, he could feel the presence around him and was able to recognize where he was.
You are not in a world covered in madness caused by world erosion.
The head recognized that it was the world he had lived in all his life.
The moment he realized that, Krashu slowly opened his eyes.
Then, the twisted world he saw in front of him gradually began to fade.
The mania that had occurred had begun to disappear.
Of course, it could not be said that it completely disappeared.
As long as you absorb the power of world erosion, madness will always happen.
That’s why Krache needed Bianca’s curse all the more.
It was because my sixth sense was nothing more than a temporary measure.
But now it was important that I was able to suppress the madness with my sixth sense.
Even if it is a temporary measure, an expedient is an expedient.
At this moment, Krashu felt that he had taken another step forward.
It was only after returning to the joy of growth that I had never felt in my life that I was realizing it one by one.
Creepy!
That was the moment.
Krashu turned his head back with a sudden goose bump.
It was because something strange passed through the sixth sense that had remained after suppressing madness.
‘I can’t believe this.’
“I am the owner!”
The moment Krache realized that, Velokin’s voice came from in front.
When Krashu looked back, there was a face of a person with no hair sticking out from the black darkness.
The face with closed eyes slowly began to recall the eyelids, and the moment he checked Krashu, he rolled his pupils once.
Then, one after another, other faces continued to emerge from the darkness.
There are not only human faces, but also animals and insects.
There were all sorts of faces in Oman.
As the horrible sight raised an unpleasant sensation of its own accord, the mouth of the first person’s head slowly began to open.
“Awesome!”
At that moment, eight arms suddenly rose out of the darkness with a deafening voice.
Cheonan Ghost.
The master of 3-star world erosion sensed an intruder and started an attack.
“Prepare for battle!”
With Velokin’s cry, a blue aura surged from his sword.
The form of the aura gradually turned into flames, and it was related to his skill.
A skill that can set fire to anything.
Ignis.
Belokin lit a spark in his aura.
Seeing the splendid flames of Belokin, the morale of the knights rose.
Belocin’s Ignis had the power to boost the morale of the viewer.
On the other hand, Krashu rather felt a tingling sensation.
It was because I had the experience of getting hit by that flame when I was lethargic.
「This is the difference between you and me! Okay? I’m not at the level of tying with the likes of you! You bastard!”
Where and what did you hear?
Belokin’s face, who had knocked himself down and used Ignis to support one of his arms, was still clear to Krashu.
At that time, he and himself were broken.
And Krashu knows.
That you, who is here right now, is still broken.
Even though he returned, the memories of that time were still indelible to Krashu.
‘How are you now? Velokin.’
How about a 17-year-old boy poisoning his 13-year-old brother?
Can we say he’s not broken yet?
A bleak smile appeared on Krashu’s lips.
It just went well.
The opportunity to find out about that must have happened by chance.
On the day we return today, some will cry and some will laugh.
