Chapter 1414 – Baekgye

Pure white snowy field. White night.
In that place called the danger zone, numerous priests and paladins from each holy country are busily looking for something.
Among them are big names. There was also Zix, the hero of Prosperity Church, and Saint Azria.
As he led the believers of Prosperity Church with his arms crossed, he had a smile on his face.

“Hmph. Gwangyeom. I can’t believe I was attacked by such a trivial monster…”

Muttering, Ziggs looked very satisfied.
The superior position of having come here at the request of Narnia and a true warrior felt very good.

But there were people who responded to that voice. They were believers of fanaticism.
Among them, there were fanatics who would sacrifice their lives, especially if it was a Dre horse.

“What?!”
“Aang?!”

Azria looked at them and tugged on Ziggs’ collar.

“Ziggs… How about we go over there and look for it…?”

Azria, who looked very cautious, was beautiful before, but now she was radiating beauty that could not be matched.

Ziggs’ eyes widened at his wife’s timid behavior.

“What?”
“Oh, no…!”

Azria flails her hands in a panic.
Fanatic Cardinal Rafnir glared at her, who clearly looked frightened, and at the two people who did not stop her reckless words and actions even though they could clearly hear them.

At that time.

Wow!!

The sun came down to the ground.

“Uh oh…!”
“What…”

Kwaang!!

The sun set on the ground with no time to do anything.
Ziggs, who instinctively closed his eyes and took a defensive stance, slowly opened his eyes when he realized that it was not an attack but simply light.

“Uh…”

A ‘true hero’ appeared in Ziggs’ field of vision.
He says what are you doing? I looked down and asked if I had any thoughts, but when I saw that Kaitz had a very urgent look on his face, unlike usual, I slowly took a step forward.
As Azria observed her surroundings, she followed him.

“It’s nowhere…!!”

The opponent to whom Kaitz appealed was none other than Baekmaju.

‘A few hours’ ago. Intense white energy. Faikatsu’s Ryunae Dre and Hero Party. And even the wizards of the Magic Tower and the Mabing tribe suddenly disappeared.
We have mobilized countless powers to search for those who have disappeared, but there is no conclusion in this world. It was.

Although Kaitsu doesn’t know what the white horse master is, he knows that he knows a lot of things that even he doesn’t know, so he relies on him with a feeling of grasping at straws.

‘This man knows something.’

There is also some basis for this.
The basis is that among the very few people who did not disappear, he is the only one without anything special.

When Faikatsu’s Ryunar swept through the midnight sun, the people who did not disappear were Kaitsu. Euclid. Scholar. And just the man in front of me.

‘Euclide Void said that the Ryunar he possessed extinguished the power of Faikatsu.’

Void’s Ryunar rejected Waikatsu’s Ryunar, and Kaitz also protected himself with numerous divine powers.
In the case of the scholar, he happened to be near Euclid and was protected by Boyd’s Ryunar.

But Baekmaju is different.
Although he seems to know a lot, his combat power is average compared to those who disappeared.

He said that we should look for a snowy field, so we have investigated so far, but there has been no results.
To make matters worse, my field of vision was getting narrower.

‘It’s foggy again.’

The whitish blizzard that Dre had briefly walked away with his special talent was slowly returning.
If things continue like this, it will return to the original midnight sun in just one hour.
Then even this fruitless investigation becomes impossible.

“…I guess I was sucked into the white world as expected.”

Baek Ma-ju, who was contemplating while stroking his chin, looked somewhat carefree.
Kaits almost grabbed him by the collar, but finally calmed down.

‘I feel anxious.’

Colleagues. I was especially worried about Marie and Dre.
Normally, I would have trusted in the power of Dre and her colleagues and stayed calm, but as a reincarnated person who had lived for a long time, my senses told me that this time it was dangerous.
At that time. Baekmaju opened his mouth.

“Hero.”

He had a face full of determination.

“Please speak.”
“Can you promise me one thing? No matter what happens from now on, you will definitely protect and defend me.”
“…”

What on earth are you trying to do?
But Kaits had no choice.

‘Not now, no. I can’t lose you anytime. ‘Eight days.’

Kaitz nodded his head.

“I promise. Whatever you need, just tell me.”
“I understand. Then… Let’s start by clarifying where Mr. Dre went. It must be Baekgye, after all.”

Kaitz nodded her head in agreement.
This phenomenon is different from the previous information that a door can be created only when Faikatsu’s Ryunar and divine power are mixed, but there was no other way to explain this situation.

Dre is currently in the white world.

“If you want to rescue Dre-nim or support her, please bring Meichi Love Yarte, Elysia Queen’s Grise, and Asita Lacia. These three people. Especially, Elysia-nim.”

Ah. My stomach hurts.
If this was a stomach that wanted to poop, I would have grinned at the thought of going to the bathroom to relieve myself later. It looks like someone is stabbing the abdomen with a knife and pouring poison into it.
Now, I was enduring pain and chasing after a woman whose identity I did not know.

“Wait. Are you really going to follow me?”

Ah. There’s this woman too.
She is a cheap female mage who is sure to have a lot of weight on her shoulders as she walks around the Red Tower. Teiria.
I tried to kill him, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of harming me, so I let him go for now.
I don’t think there is any possibility of contacting her colleagues…
I had a vague idea of ​​why this woman appeared in front of me alone.

She kept following me and asked, “Are you conscious or not?” “Am I naive? Am I stupid…” Etc. He was just as irritated as ever.

I thought about just shredding the pear bread and leaving it here, but I need to save my energy for that.
Because she moved even a little violently.

I’m crying.

“…”

Such a scoundrel.
Even though her mouth was closed, her blood was leaking out.
Sigh. When I wiped it with the back of my hand, the blood was black.
…It’s downright dangerous.

“Are you really going to follow that suspicious doll?”
“Gulp. Phew…”
“Did you sigh just now?”

I swallowed blood, bitch.

“If you don’t know, just stay still.”

In games, when an NPC takes you first, it’s usually a fun quest.
At that time, Teyria spoke in a sharp voice.

“I see you think it’s a quest with a good reward. Just because it’s a quest doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. There are a lot of traps, right?”

Well… I can’t refute it.
Especially from the perspective of someone who just got stabbed in the head.

Still, while I sensed a bit of malice towards the man earlier, there was only goodwill towards this woman in front of me.

Also, the road is in earnest.
The man just created a hideout among the complex alleys, but now we have entered the hidden door behind the mountain, and are entering the deep space through the hidden door in the space beyond that door.
The atmosphere that becomes increasingly dark and gloomy is exquisite.

“…Ugh…”

Tayria, who had been chattering, groaned and came close behind me.
This bitch is dying from pain, so where can she stay?

“Okay. Go away.”
“What? How many people in the Magic Tower want to see my face…”
“Damn.”
“…”

Teiria pouted her lips but did not turn away.

If I were Muhyang or Kaitz, I would have thought, “He’s in love with me,” But that’s impossible.
I can guess why he’s like this…

Soon a dark space emerged.
The acrid, strong smell of blood. Somewhere, tsk tsk tsk tsk. There was a sound like something was being eaten.

“Hey, that stuff these people eat… Isn’t it like human meat?”
“Are you surprised by the human flesh of a magic tower that wants to experiment on people?”
“No! It’s the same as that… Hehe!!”

Teiria clings to me as if something is on her feet.
I almost got beat up.
My stomach hurts, bitch.
It’s definitely not tempting. This woman. It seems she is simply scared.
It’s different from my usual sassy self, so I want to beat it up even more!!

“Ta-da. We’re here~”

The woman who guided us spread her arms cutely and smiled brightly.
Then her interior, which was completely dark, went dark. It got brighter.
And what was revealed… ‘Church’
Okay. This was a church.

People, like the woman and child in front of me, dressed in black but plain, everyday designs, are kneeling here and there, praying to the giant stone statue in front.

The appearance of the stone statue is… Basically a dog breed. In other words, it looks like a dog, with six pupils, an abnormally long snout, and carvings all over its body that seem to emit black energy. It looks dangerous at first glance.

Ah… Rope-chan has eight pupils.
I miss you Rope-chan…
I want to bury my face in that belly fat and sniff it…

Lena… Renia… Meichii…
…Whew.
…We must meet again.

I pulled myself together and looked around.
But. Teiria, who had checked the surroundings before me, turned blue and hid behind me.
Looking closely, I saw not only people around me, but also small animals that looked like miniaturized stone statues in front of me eating red meat.

It wasn’t hard to imagine what that red meat was.
There were human limbs and even decapitated corpses scattered everywhere.
I didn’t say that Teiria was human flesh for no reason.
It seemed like he had seen them before me as my eyes grew increasingly blurry.
However, it is not an ordinary corpse, but is completely discolored black.

It’s a terrible scene. I didn’t feel any sense of crisis.
Those who were praying didn’t show any interest in us at all, but rather than being fanatics preoccupied with their religion, it felt like they were nervous about making eye contact with us, and even those who weren’t praying bowed their heads with a shy face when they made eye contact with us. It smelled like a person saying hello.

…There are a lot of corpses, but it smells like people.
Me too.
The woman who guided us at that time smiled brightly and said.

“My name is Black Priest Miyao.”
“Okay.”

The man earlier also called himself a black priest, but I felt that this woman was ‘real’.
She raised her arms, similar to a bear attacking a person.

“Okay. Then first… Take it off!!”

Oh my!! You can’t do this!!
I stared blankly at the front, thinking that if I had been there, I would have reacted like, “Oh, I can’t dig up this…”
Before I knew it, Miyao was holding my collar.
This woman.
Fast.
No matter how much it hurts, it’s hard to resist taking off my top.
With a little bit of exaggeration, I think he’s at the level of the corps commander I killed.

“Hiyaa…! I thought you were sick, how are you still alive?”
“OMG…”

Miyao was impressed and Teirya was disgusted and took a few steps away from me.
The thing that was wrapped in bandages was covered in something that looked like black oil, which was disgusting even to me.

“Brothers and sisters, let’s prepare for treatment~”

At the end of her words, I gasped as she touched my bandage. The bandage came off on its own.
Some of the people who were praying got up and brought some black meat with them.

“Ah. Before treatment, I would like to tell you that if you receive this treatment, you will never be able to mix with white things, and you will automatically become a member of our Black Beast Church. Do you mind?”

Ah. Is this a quest for a specific faction?
Normally, I would have thought deeply about it, but now… There is no other alternative.
In the first place, we made a fuss with the white forces. Although these people were suspicious, they didn’t seem evil, so I had nothing to worry about.

“Huh~~?”

At that time, Miyao was angry…! She was impressed.
The surrounding believers did the same.

“You have eight of his fragments! You are already a faithful follower of ours!”
“…”

Eight?
When it comes to fragments, it probably refers to the ‘Fragment of the Black Beast’ item.
Earlier, I confirmed in my inventory that there was a ‘black beast fragment’ that must have been used in the white knight’s attack.
Since the White Knight didn’t react at all, I thought my attack had been canceled and returned to my inventory, but the number of items increased…?

Clumping.

At that time. The black meat brought by the believers covered my flesh.
To my surprise, it felt good.
The pain changed to tickling, and soon it became appropriately warm.

“Whoa…”

As you sigh with satisfaction, you feel your body healing in real time.
But. At some point, healing stopped.

“Huh? Huh? This can’t be happening…”

Miyao tilts his head, but then becomes sullen and looks at me.
The cute girl with short, platinum hair is sullen and looks as cute as she looks.

“I’m sorry, brother~ This wound is so severe. I don’t think it can be healed without ‘Elixir’ or ‘Brace of the Black Beast’…”

Okay.
Elixir. Grace of the Black Beast. Memory.
The White Knight said that my wounds would not heal except through special means, which is probably what he meant.

“Then I’ll explain the religious order later! Please rest comfortably until you regain your strength.”

Miyao quickly walked away somewhere.
Instead, a hateful bitch approached.

“Wait a minute. Do you really want to join this? A place that is clearly pagan?”

People around me were shocked at the word infidel, so I raised my voice.

“No!! You are such a good person and you are a heretic!! You are so noisy, you evil witch!!”

People around me laughed and then turned their heads in a hurry.

“Under…”

Teiria made a sound as if she was astonished and then exclaimed. She smiled.
An eerie smile, as if she thought she was above her.

“Okay, let’s make a deal.”
“Transaction?”
“From what I heard, it seems like your scars will last as long as you are in this world.”
“…”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult to do it alone? You need to have a means of protection and companions.”

A colleague.
Surely. It is necessary.
I need to find out in detail whether the healing I received from Miyao requires any conditions or costs, but since I have a continuous treatment method called the Black Beast Cult, I will choose a really strong soul to strengthen my specifications.
However, even if there is a continuous treatment method, it is impossible to know when the body will fall into crisis in this state.

Colleagues are essential.
A trustworthy colleague.
But.
Even though I don’t know her skills, can I trust this woman’s personality…?

Jiyiing.

“?”

What the fuck are you talking about?
Teyria and I turned our heads.
I immediately felt dumbfounded and delighted at the same time and opened my mouth.

“Why not?”

A beautiful girl shouts with a happy face in response to my words.

“Dre~!!!!”

The beautiful girl who came through the air was a girl I knew very well.
As she ran, a few strands of lovely blonde hair clung to her sweat, making her even more bewitching. She was the daughter of Rise. It’s Elysia Queen’s Grease.

Da da da da da. Fault!

She hugged me and her baby space closed.
I looked blankly at El, then back at her Teirya, who was staring blankly at us.

She flinched.
I grinned.

It’s a reversal of fortunes. You bitch.
Now get out.
