Episode 16 The Story of the Incident
The news of the annihilation of a team of intermediate knights and the death of Velokin quickly spread throughout the Valheim family.
This world erosion showed abnormal symptoms, and the difficulty rose rapidly to 5 stars. As a result, only one Krashu Valheim survived.
Where is that Krashu now?
He was none other than his hometown.
‘I never thought I’d come back here for this reason.’
Krashu received an empty room in the main house and was currently resting.
Krashu was found like a drowning mouse in a state of exhaustion by the septic tank and additional knights who came later.
Therefore, he was moved first to his home, which was closer to Cheongsong Hall.
Thanks to that, I was resting like this at my home for the first time in a long time.
“Does this make sense! How, how could Lord Belokin die, but the half-penny of Valheim survives alone!”
“Refrain from talking, no matter how much, Krashu-nim is also a direct descendant of Valheim. Do you want to get into trouble?”
At that moment, a voice came from outside.
The owner of the voice was none other than Belokin’s direct butler.
It seems that he couldn’t accept the fact that Belokin was dead, and shouted inadvertently.
‘Rather, some guys are praising Velokin for being great.’
Just this time the world erosion revealed by the septic tank is a whopping 5 stars, up two notches from the original.
If you are talking about 5-star world erosion, you must have the highest level of expert to be able to deal with it.
In such a yard, Belokin, who was only a senior, fought with all his might, and finally inflicted a great wound on Cheonan Gui with Ignis and knocked him down.
It was truly a noble sacrifice.
Of course, he couldn’t avoid death as much as he added it as a sacrifice.
Because I was cursed because of Cheonan Gwi’s last attack.
Belokin tried to pierce his face with the sword containing Ignis to breathe, but his injuries and breathing were not correct.
As a result, instead of his face, only his body was cut open, and he died of breathing difficulties.
And who told the story that helped testify to his heroic sacrifice?
It was none other than Krache.
‘Looks like they believe all the testimonies, so I don’t have to worry about this anymore.’
Although they were half-brothers, even though they killed Velokin with their own hands, Krashu felt no guilt.
He always hated himself.
From the end to the end.
‘Anyway, Belokin was equally destined to die at the hands of his family. Is there anything new?’
I can still vividly see him beaten to death by Charlotte.
Come to think of it, why did Charlotte kill Bellokin?
At the time, Krashu’s memories of that time were blurred due to the injuries sustained by the curses and Velokin.
Perhaps he was told that in the end he did something to Charlotte, just like Belokin did to himself.
‘By now.’
You are going on a world erosion expedition with one of the five high-ranking knights of Valheim.
‘Nothing to worry about.’
Anyway, with the preparations for Belokin’s funeral, Valheim’s investigation into the abnormal situation of world erosion was underway in earnest.
And Krashu knew very well that he would not be able to return to Cheongsong Hall until the investigation was complete.
‘Come to think of it, he told him he was going soon.’
Recalling Bianca, Krashu scratched his head for a moment.
He’s a guy who can get along just fine on his own, so that’s fine.
Rather, he might have forgotten himself by now and be absorbed in reading books.
‘That’s enough.’
Krashu sat down on the bed and raised his hand.
Then, just like in the case of Black Hood, the moment he applied power, a fire broke out in his grip.
This was none other than Ignis, stolen from Velokin.
Krashu looked at it for a while and let out a blank laugh.
It was because he could clearly feel that he had stolen another skill he wanted.
‘Is this the second time after Arthur’s return?’
When you steal a skill from Velokin, there are three conditions for the activated dial.
The first is the collapse of self-esteem.
It had already been built up in the early evening, and finally collapsed with Krashu’s final awakening.
The second is that the subject hand over some of Ignis on their own.
Krashu took over the flame directly from Velokin to deal with the Cheonan.
This completes the second condition.
The last third.
The subject must recognize that ‘I’ use Ignis better than he.
The third condition points to me, of course, Krashu.
In the last condition, Belokin saw Krashu’s sword, and even Ignis recognized that Krashu handled it much better.
And the moment the numbers on all the dials matched, Krache’s black hood was activated.
Belokin’s Ignis was held in Krashu’s hand in an instant, and as a result, a spark bloomed from Krashu.
This was the whole story of how Krashu was able to steal Ignis.
Krashu, who led all situations to the end and succeeded in order to fulfill the conditions, was truly a poisonous breed.
Thanks to that, he successfully pretended that Belokin’s death was a noble sacrifice, and he didn’t even notice that he had stolen his skill.
‘It’s still too early to be caught by others.’
The fact that you can steal skills should not be known to anyone yet.
It’s okay to curse, but the moment you know that you can steal skills, everyone will distance themselves from you.
‘Because I still have a lot to steal.’
Ignis is just a starting point.
That’s why Krashu turned Velokin’s death into self-destruction.
Leaving all contributions to world erosion to Velokin.
After confirming Ignis, Krashu extinguished the flames.
There were quite a few achievements from this work.
Starting with obtaining Ignis, he was able to use Extreme Blood Poison.
Because I even confirmed the makeshift method of extreme blood poisoning.
But among them, what Krashu found strange was that none other than Ignis had even ignited the power to erode the world.
Hwareuk!
The moment Krashu summoned Ignis again, a pitch-black flame rose from his hand.
Heukyeom(黑炎)
This was to burn the power of world erosion that had settled in Krashu’s body due to extreme blood poisoning with Ignis.
I felt that the black flame was much more dangerous than the normal aura flame.
The blazing flame showed considerable firepower as it was strong.
It turned out that I had obtained a secret weapon.
It could all be attributed to Velokin.
But one more really important problem remained.
The real problem that tied Krashu to his family.
‘Symptoms of an abnormal rise in the level of world erosion.’
As a result of this incident, professionally operated personnel were dispatched to investigate global erosion.
That’s because this incident was a big one.
‘And I can’t find the reason yet.’
Krashu, who knew the reason well, put down his sword and was lost in thought.
The reason for this abnormal symptom was actually simple.
‘The Undead.’
That bastard’s servants moved.
World eater.
Born in the erosion of the world, they are an erosive species, but they have a similar appearance to humans.
They contained world erosion inside their bodies, and each one of them was made up of more than a master and a bad guy.
And among them is a man called the Undead.
The one who handles the most species of the world’s encroachers as if it were his own hands.
‘Is it from this time? That guy intentionally raised the level of world erosion.’
It was doing something strange, intentionally increasing the level of erosion of the surrounding world by two levels.
The world still doesn’t know about such immortals.
‘Yeah, that’s right. It was none other than Arthur who told me this.’
Arthur gave information about the undead through the memory of regression.
The Undead’s act of raising the level of world erosion caused many dangers every time.
That’s why Arthur told me about the Undead and killed him.
Ironically, though, Krashu came to use the power of the undead.
Krashu couldn’t just leave the Undead alone.
“Mr Krashu.”
At the moment of crashing, Krashu quickly erased the black flame at the sound of knocking on the door.
“Come in.”
As Krache said, a woman opened the door and entered.
And when she saw her like that, her Krashu tilted her head.
The woman’s appearance was different from that of a typical maid.
She was wearing a veil with the pattern of her Valheim on it, and a blue cloak was draped over her tight-fitting clothes.
She was none other than Valkyrie, a member of the Knights Directly under the mistress of Valheim.
At the appearance of the Valkyries, who were composed of high-level experts, Krashu showed doubts.
“What business does Valkyrie have with me?”
“Arya Valheim is looking for you.”
“A mother?”
Aria Valheim.
She was married to the head of Valheim after the previous mistress passed away, and was the mother of Charlotte and Krashu.
She and she gave birth to a star named Charlotte, so she was actually the most powerful woman in Valheim after the head of the house.
Hearing her call, Krashu felt an unpleasant feeling.
‘I thought the world erosion would be called by the investigation team first, but no way, I thought my mother would call first.’
Krashu already roughly guessed why Arya called her.
Because she knows her personality best, she is her child.
“Okay. Guide me.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Valkyrie politely served Krashu.
As she walked behind her, she saw an unfamiliar hallway.
I got the feeling that this is the home of Valheim, where traces of Valheim remain here and there.
And that fact made Krashu a bit intimidated.
It was because there was no one who had no ties to this place like Krashu.
Smart-
“Aria-sama, Krashu-sama has arrived.”
After a while, Valkyrie stopped in front of a room and knocked.
As I was taking a peek at the room that seemed to be used for entertaining guests, after a while, footsteps resonated before a voice told me to come in.
Knock!
And along with the open door, the smell of cosmetics wafted in.
At the same time, there was a woman standing there with a soft blue glow that was obviously gorgeous even before the heavy makeup.
Despite her age, she still has a gorgeous appearance. As soon as she saw Krashu, her eyes widened.
“Krash!”
And then she rushed in and quickly hugged Krashu.
“My son, I thought it was a big deal and you know how worried my mother was!”
Seeing her making a fuss, Krashu responded by clicking her tongue as expected.
She is Arya Valheim, the mistress of Valheim. She
She was Krashu’s mother.
“Mother, please go inside first.”
“Oh, yes, this mother is really a shame. Now, come in.”
Arya was delighted and let Krashu into her room.
It is not her own room, but her guest room, as if it were her own room.
Seeing her like that, Krashu was stunned.
In her childhood, she would have cried out loud when she saw her mother again after being kicked out of Cheongsong Pavilion.
Unfortunately, Krashu has already been through a lot.
And Krashu knew very well what kind of woman was the woman named Aria in front of her.
With the door closed, Arya hummed her song and prepared her tea.
Krasu looked at the scene and asked without sitting in the chair.
“Mother, what did you call me for?”
“Huh? Yes, my son came back to life, but I called to see his face.”
Hearing her words, Krashu sneered for some reason.
If a son comes back alive after dying, the mother is the one who jumps right in than anyone else.
But instead of doing that, she called Krashu later.
And that too with a worry-free expression.
