Chapter 411 – Motivation

“Not now.”
“Fuck.”

Grab the fucking weight just an hour ago and wait for Herroot…! I said… But His Majesty Kitz refused to allow it.
Sullen.

…No. Can’t give up!

“Why? Give me a reason I can understand.”
“Currently, there is no way to pierce the Destiny Palace.”

To be honest, I’m going to do this without preparation…! Fuck you! If I go alone while doing this, I feel like I’m going to get fucked.
The reason is destiny.
This is because even though the palace of fate that appeared in Sers was very small, the old man became powerful enough to be described as a god.

However, the story is different if you have the fourteen skills.

“You have a declaration of your heart.”

However, Kitz shook his head.

“The palace of fate summoned this time in Sers was only a small part, so I could easily offset it with my mind, but the original palace of fate was at least the size of the country you lived in.”
“…”

Grandpa on a grand scale.

“At that size, it would be impossible to offset the many effects that were given to the Palace of Destiny by the Mind World for a long time.”
“That… Moving to Huroot while activating the mind system?”

However, Katz shook his head.

“Declaration of the mind realization is the realization of the world of images. After ending the mind realization, it will return to the place where it was activated with almost no error. Let alone move, it will only lose its strength.”
“Ummm…”
“There’s more trouble. It’s that we don’t know where Hurut is hiding in the Palace of Destiny.”
“It’s a palace, so it’s on the top floor?”
“Doesn’t it seem that simple? If you’re willing to take a test, you’ll probably wait on the top floor of the palace as you said. But if your life is in danger, he’ll use any method. For example, with ants. They change and hide in the ground. They don’t stay still while we search for them, and all of them will unleash threatening attacks.”

In other words, it is a story to find one ant in a land the size of one country.
It’s a ridiculous mission, at least at the current level.

I’ve come to understand a little bit now.
Even if there is a declaration of heart, it is not long to be able to advance, but it is bleak to think that attacks continue to come.

“It’s not like there’s a maxim saying don’t fight a wizard in your camp for nothing.”
“Hmm… Ignore the safety and go once, won’t there be a way?”

Katz stared at me.
I don’t know where the guy who thought about it felt the possibility in me, but he nodded in affirmation.

“Certainly. With you… I don’t know if it’s possible somehow. Like breaking the Destiny Palace with that slicing sword.”

It’s similar to what I was thinking.
And perhaps, a space sword would be more effective than a cutting sword.
It’s about time to evolve the Space Sword, so let’s test it on the Hurut.

“Then let’s go.”
“But no.”
“Mistress why?”
“Dre ball.”

Garcinido, who was silently listening with his arms crossed next to me, looks down at me.
It’s fucking scary to see a giant body that’s almost 3m glaring at you with sharp eyes that can be seen under the hood.

“Yes.”
“Follow the warrior’s opinion. That’s the most correct way.”
“Yes.”

The last time I saw Garcini, he looked so strong.
Let’s not cause a fight for nothing.
But Homun stood in front of me and clicked his tongue.

“Do you understand me when I say that? I have to tell you the right reason.”
“Homun.”

Garcinido frowned at him.
Either that or not, Homun continues the explanation.

“Actually, it’s not that our warrior didn’t find a way to attack the Palace of Destiny either. Invading with absolute stealth, which Rabband will learn later, or pressing down with Mari’s enlarged holy power, or using a scholar’s complicated spell…”

But it turns out that all of that is impossible right now.
The Palace of Destiny is a realm where Herut can literally be a god.
Not only are you subject to all kinds of attacks and all-out attacks from monsters, but you can change the weather and terrain as you like, so there is a high possibility that you will only go around the same place.

Even testing my cutting sword is too risky because I don’t know what kind of defensive techniques or preparations I have prepared.
Still, I couldn’t give up.

“Sneaking in and cutting only Herroot’s head…?”
“The Palace of Destiny is a spell made up of all kinds of energy, including Mana and Ryunar. It is basic that Huroot’s providence does not work if he has any powers he knows. The moment you step into the palace of destiny, you are already in his palm.”

Destiny Palace performance is great.
It’s not Emrepes for nothing.

“I don’t know if there are people who don’t have the energy of Ryunar or Mana at all. It’s impossible to sneak in and cut Huroot’s head.”
“Ummm…”
“Besides, in a month and two weeks from now, there’s an Askatlov subjugation.”

Askatlov.
Eight monster kings that I have heard many times and seen even in my fantasies.

“The hero’s idea is that he wants to preserve as much power as possible for that time. And based on what Kaitsu found out through his authority, it seems that Huroot intends to remain dead for a while…”
“I will absolutely learn to hide until then, so be patient with me~”

Rabband talked to me.
It seemed that something was difficult for me, but now they think of me as being a little more friendly.
That’s nice
But I want to kill him right now, but telling him to stay still is too much.
Should I just move alone?

At that time, Kaitsu, who had been silently listening to Homun’s explanation, looked at me and said.

“However, if we secure several holders of the Proclamation of Mind, we will be able to safely attack the Palace of Destiny.”
“Hmm…?”
“After I capture Askatlov, those with the mind will become partners with me, whether they like it or not. That’s the right time to kill Harut.”
“…”
“I’m afraid you’ll go alone. I’m not saying I’m going to leave Harut alone. I promise you, if you catch Askatlov, he’ll be next.”

A ghost guy
Having said this, I was sorry to act alone.

“Okay. That’s fine.”

Thinking of the face of an old man who would smirk at himself saying he’s safe makes him a little pissed off, but he’s holding back for later pleasure… Fuck. I can’t stand it.
This bastard won’t trust me and I’ll watch over you for a week, so let’s go alone in a week.
Well, it’s not like there’s no way.
There are cutting kendo, space kendo, and ‘technologies under development’, and even the lightsaber given to me by the bastard Nanar.
If you’re really worried, don’t go in, but it’s okay to experiment in various ways outside.
Even if something goes wrong, if you use your last resort, you won’t be left alone.

Wait for her
A week later is the day you follow me.

However, there was something in Homun’s story that bothered me.
Because of Harut’s ability of providence, he learned the power through knowledge. He said that if he had Ryu Nar, Mana, etc., He had no choice but to take it unconditionally.
In order not to get caught, he had to have no such energy at all.
As I listened… I remembered a story I had heard before.
Just as he was about to ask about it, Homun held up a piece of paper.

“And there is also a small reward.”
“Yes?”

Homun fluttering is wanted.

“Did you forget? Before the selection of the wizard of the century, Herroot put a bounty on his head.”
“Ah…That!”
“It looks like they haven’t canceled yet. Well, they must have gotten away with money. Even if they don’t have money, they’ll do everything they want with magic.”

But not us. There is nothing wrong with having a lot of money.
If you catch him… Truly an astronomical amount of money will fall into your hands.

“Oh oh…!”
“Are you feeling a little energetic?”
“Of course not.”
“Ha ha. You light up the money. I like it.”

There are people who don’t reveal money!
However, the scholar made a puzzled face.

“You’re quite friendly to Dre, Homun.”
“You’ve been like that before.”
“What am I. I’m thinking highly of his temper.”

I’m ashamed to praise you in front of Siri…
By the way, Mari, who hadn’t even said a word since earlier, was only looking down at her hand.
I see what he’s worried about…
…
No way. Never mind.
There are a lot of things that have been postponed.
Whatever happens until it’s all sorted out, put it on hold.

With Herroot’s work put on the back burner for a moment, the first thing to do is to make Blanche and Gold’s prosthetic arm.
It has already been delayed by several months.
…Ah. You must also make Frostia’s accessories.

This time, she thought about losing Milia, but if one day suddenly broke up, she would regret not treating her well.

Let’s make Frostia’s accessories quickly. I made you wait for quite some time.
I have to deal with Mayal and Ashita… I’m really busy.

After that, I happily ate alcohol and meat that Homun shot, and went to work at the academy before returning home.

Now that she’s going to go home and sleep, she realizes that she hasn’t unblocked Malakia and Shame so far.

…Isn’t it trying to chew on me?
Let’s unblock it for now.

***

Jiying.

The automatic door opens and a small boy and a butler with a mustache enter the room with tired faces.
An old man and a young man with no life in their eyes followed after him.

“Whoa.”
“We’ve just arrived, Master.”

An old man, a young man, and a boy sweating in cold sweat. And mustache butler.
The old man and young boy pretended to steal sweat with the same movement as if they were of one mind.
That’s right, the three of them are moving with the same consciousness.
Herroot.
He returned to the Palace of Destiny.

“You’ve been through a lot.”
“What am I?”
“Didn’t you find out the ship and pay all your attention so that I don’t feel uncomfortable?”
“No, well. You praised the obvious… I don’t know what to do.”

The butler, scratching his head shyly, did not express himself, but was quite surprised inside.
I’m not surprised that he praised me. His master was not stingy with praise.
The reason I was surprised was because I deliberately turned away from the magic instead of returning straight away.

His master. Hurrut could have returned to the Palace of Destiny immediately, but he did not.
He dared to go to the mainland and went to the trouble of hiding his identity, but came to the Kingdom of Concubine, where the palace of fate is located.

I’ve heard of two reasons.
One is that there is a possibility that the power of Amra, an ecosystem of immortality, can penetrate the Warp and affect the Palace of Destiny.

No matter how destined the palace is, the King of Kings is a very special existence, so it may collapse under its power.

But his master thought it might be… Eight days to follow.
I just wanted to block that.

‘Eight days.. The master deserves a high evaluation, but I don’t think it’s an order to be afraid of…’

Although Dre is strong, he is a new blood compared to his master.
I don’t know why he’s so wary, but since he’s the owner, I thought everything had a meaning.

“Go rest. The reward for this mission will be thick.”
“Just being together is a reward for me.”

The butler, who bowed deeply, left the room and walked away, and Huroot sighed and took off his robe.
The handsome boy’s face grew worried, and then he waved his hand and launched a hologram into the air.
It was a probability table.

[100% chance of killing the Eight Kings by sending them to their stronghold]

It was the same probability as I had seen through providence the other day.
So why did it fail?
Hurroot continued to calculate and saw the result of collapse.

[300% chance of conciliating the Eight Kings]

100% chance of dying, 300% chance of conciliation.
Then he was bound to fail.
In the first place, such absurd results could not have come out. This situation was close to error.

‘So it must be a singularity. Was I too hasty…’

However, Hurroot soon changed his mind that he only had to learn the danger and idiosyncrasies of the creature.

“Oops. I need to fix myself.”

Dozens of voices, not just young and old, echoed simultaneously from all directions, giving a bizarre feeling.

Jiing.
Jiying.

The spare bodies that were put in the subspace filled the room.
Hear Root scratched his head, saying he’d lost so many bodies this time, and he’d have to replenish them.

“”Eight days… Kitz. They were definitely special people.”

However, it is not impossible to win.
I thought it was embarrassing to think like this when I was afraid of eight days, but it was true.

He is a wizard after all.
Not the type to compete head-on, but a preparer who prepares, prepares, waits for the right time, and then intercepts.

‘If I prepare thoroughly, I can kill Yeodere and Kitz.’

Hur Root was convinced that he had to kill the singularities he didn’t know how to deal with, and he would do as he pleased.

‘I’ll have time for a few months. In the meantime, I will prepare a means to stab the weaknesses of the two singularities.’

Hurrut thinks that Kitz will probably proceed to subdue ‘Askatlov’ before attacking.
If I had been to the Palace of Destiny before then, there would be nothing I could do about it.
Even if you try to sneak in, there’s no way you’ll be able to escape from Herruth’s eyes inside the Palace of Destiny.

‘If you feel like you’re not ready after a few months, just move the location of the Palace of Destiny.’

Kitz. The regressor doesn’t seem to know yet, but the location of the palace can be moved.
Although he is receiving the benefits of having settled in this site for a long time, it is a level that Huroot can afford.

As he had gone through countless regresses, it was the blind spot of a regressor who had to see it with his body once and then became the basic premise.

‘I wonder if it’s possible to subjugate Askatlov in the first place.’

In fact, since the subjugation was done in the previous episode, it must be going ahead, and I can guess what kind of method it will be.
Askatlov must be planning to hunt after preparing delectable prey that cannot be ignored and weakened to a pitiful level.
All monster kings want freedom, so even if they feel like dying, they’ll take the risk.

However, there are variables.
Eight days.
The singularity that changed the fate of many people, including Huroot… Will it only bring them a favorable situation?

“”Clutter…””

An old man’s laugh flows from the mouths of all spare bodies, including the boy’s.
Whatever it is, you can change your destiny.
If you are outside the fate palace, you will die, or you will not be able to become the best.
This was unbearable for Harut, who was both a genius from birth.

Harrut has no doubts.
He said he would be the final winner.

“”Ha. Anyway, I’m glad Lenea wasn’t here this time.”

Even if she was in the intact Palace of Destiny, she couldn’t win against Lenea in the Floating Island.
It was fortunate that she got away before she intervened.
Of course, she started working after confirming the future that there was no chance of that happening, but I was worried inside because eight days, which had already twisted various destinies, might change the future.

‘I’ve been thinking about him since before.’

It was unpleasant.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt fear.
The fact that Lenea is feeling good feelings for that young guy… Of the opposite sex.

She had been traveling for a long time and her whole body was sore.
First of all, you need to take a break to recover your mind and body so that you can move efficiently afterwards.

“”Now then…””

Sit on the throne, sleep…

Poo-wook.

“…Uh.”

Stupid moan.
Unlike before, when all the spare bodies sang in chorus, only the boy gave a stupid voice.

When I looked down my head, trembling at the sensation of lava rising from within his chest, a sharp sword protruded through his chest and heart.

“What.”

I didn’t expect an answer, but a sneering voice answered.

“That’s my theory.”
“…”

What.
This voice.
What.

‘How… How could there be… An intruder in the Palace of Destiny without being noticed by me…!!’

Kujijik!

“Oh, bad…!”

The knife went round and round, causing wounds that would not be able to be regenerated by ordinary people.
Even so, the man who hadn’t let go of Hurrut kept turning his sword and killing him.

“On days when I feel accomplished, I think I should check my surroundings more carefully. A guy like me will stab you in.”
“Kuh… Bad!”
“Mostly. I never thought there would be intruders when I came home from work.”
“Ku, wow!!”

A small body floated off the floor and became suspended in the air.
He wiggles his feet, but it’s meaningless.

Harut is a wizard.
I tried to use magic like a wizard, but it didn’t work out.

‘Why?’

Why aren’t the other bodies moving?
And in the first place… How…

“The face asks how did you know you were the main body, but I can tell just by looking at it. You bastard.”
“…!!”

The legendary wizard’s face contorted at the apparent insult.

Quag!

Numerous magical spheres protrude from his body.
Harut was determined to explode the body of the boy he thought was his body, and fired hundreds of orbs containing high-level magic.
An attack that could be used only because it was inside the Palace of Destiny, and would be dangerous even for 8 days and kites.

However, the man did not even try to avoid it.

Shush shush,
Wow…!

“What…”

Hurr couldn’t help but be stunned.
The magic… Far from exploding, everything that touched the man completely disappeared.

“I’m sorry, but things made of mana can’t do any damage to me. That’s how it is.”

What kind of body is there in the world?
…No. Hurroot remembered hearing about a similar constitution before.
However, I couldn’t remember the name of the person with that constitution.

“…You bastard, who…”

Suwook.

“Cuck!”

The assassin pulled out the sword that pierced his heart and set foot on the ground again.
However, he is unable to stand up and cannot control his weak legs, and he falls down.
A shuddering Hur Root raised his head.
There… A handsome black-haired man was raising the corners of his mouth.

“Who are you…”

He is a complete stranger who has never seen his face.
How is it that such an extraordinary person has not yet been seen by fate?

‘Could it be that this was done in eight days…?’

Immediately after taking a closer look at the man, Herroot is even more astonished.
This man…

“You say you don’t have mana…At all…?”
“I told you it’s that kind of constitution. You’ll be a super wizard.”
“…”
“How is it, gentleman? How does it feel to be run over by a worm with no mana?”

Die?
Who?

‘I? I tried to survive for a thousand years, and this me who seems to have survived?!?!’

Aaaaa!!

A large amount of mana exploded from Huroot’s body, reminiscent of the sea.

“Ku, ah!! Look who’s going to die to the likes of you!!”

Huroot is not the only one who can handle mana.
I can handle all the powers I know through Providence, including Ryunar!!
It was a waste to use this mana-less trash, but the immobile body and all tricks had to be used.

‘I have to live. I can do anything if I live!’

That’s why I released all the tricks I had prepared to deal with Kitz and Eodere with all my strength.
A divine descent that can be activated just by touching it. Summon pseudo-psychic. High-ranking magic charge cannon… All of them used attacks that could blow up the country.

The man calmly passed all of those attacks and walked forward toward Huroot.

“How… Kkeukreuk.”

A knife was stuck in his throat and he couldn’t speak.

“Huh? Ah. I didn’t tell you.”

The man says with a smirk.

“Under certain conditions, not only mana, but all powers will not work.”
“…”
“If you want to kill me, kill with pure martial arts.”
“Kuh…!! Aaaaa!!”

In accordance with his words, the final struggle begins.
Summoning monsters, summoning familiars, summoning clay dolls that sealed people… Summoning demon lords, and even blocking the front with warps and hundreds of barriers.
Colorful knight-type monsters walk out of the warp, and Huroot tries to teleport with the last bit of strength.

You have to quickly move to another place and switch bodies.
At this rate…Really dying…

“Did you do everything?”
“…”

There were thousands of monsters.
All those monsters were blown away and stuck to the wall.
…This level of skill.
If it weren’t for this bizarre, even terrifying constitution, he would never have been able to fight back in close combat.

Strong.

In terms of pure skill proficiency and physical strength, Kitz… And eight days. It was one number, no, several numbers higher than those two.

No, there were more surprises.
Even if the remaining monster stabs with a sword, there is no damage.
I don’t know what the hell the principle is… If it was made of mana, it seemed to nullify even the secondary damage caused by that mana.

“Who are you…”

Hooked

To the heart once again.
The knife is stuck.
A grinning face approached my ear… And the man spoke quietly.

“It’s called the Wizard Killer. Hurut Nari.”
“…”
“Bounty, thank you♡”
“Uh, Ahhhhh! I!

The moment he spurted dark red blood. Huroot saw the evil spirit that had contracted with him in a haze-like space.
Hwasaek stretched out his hand to Don’s face.

‘Help me! I’ll pay anything!’

The contracted evil god… Shook his head.

[The contract was enough. Through me, he obtained the futility of ‘him’. With that, the causal rate was paid.]
‘Then find another way!’

The evil spirit treats Herruth, who is in a hurry and even forced, with a cold attitude.

[No. You are here.]
‘What!’
[There was an opportunity. The singularity shouldn’t be hostile to that eight-year-old man.]
‘…’
[Coexistence with him was the only way for you to live and be satisfied. Arrogant wizard Did you know that the fate that you can live as long as you are inside the Palace of Destiny came about because you are strong in the Palace of Destiny?]
‘…’
[The result came out that if you live in the palace of fate, you are safe because he doesn’t care about your existence. But from the time you voluntarily challenged him… You couldn’t survive.]

And the contract was terminated.

‘Wait. God of Mana…!’

It can’t be like this.
He cut off all ties and shut himself up for a thousand years just to live.
But, in such a futile way… Such a death…

…
…

The thoughts didn’t go any further.
Harut’s heart stopped beating.
Finally, one word… He murmurs, in the same way as a dead creature trembles.

“Eode, Re… I can’t believe this guy… You sent me…”

There was no sign of the body being replaced.
Hurrut was… Mistaken until the end. He’s really dead
His face was stained with endless despair.
The death of the magic emperor who desperately tried to survive by looking at the future… Was too futile.

“Um~”

Pudeudeuk. The ‘Wizard Killer’ intangible who snapped his neck grinned.

“With this, the prize is mine.”

An intangible squatting and holding a sharp knife.
Right before cutting his throat, the intangible tilted his head.

“But what about eight days?”

Trouble for a while.
And hey, how is it? With those words, blood spurted out.

***

“Umm~”

Ashita stayed up late today to study.
And on her way home to the dorm, she deliberately turned around to check if the lights were on in Dre’s office.

Dre was off most of the time because he always went home from work, but hey, just in case.

“…Huh? It’s on.”

Ashita hesitated a little before she entered the building.
And on his way to his office, he saw Dre with his head down in the far corner of the hallway.

“…Mmmm.”

Ashita takes out his hand mirror, strokes his hair, and checks that there is nothing strange about it.

“…Ah, no… I don’t like being looked down upon. I’m just doing this to my friends…”

That time when I mumbled an excuse I didn’t know who I was talking to.
Dre’s face was reflected in the hand mirror.

“Kyaaaaa!!”

Ashita jumped up in surprise and turned her back.

“Why are you suddenly closing the distance and that…Dreeng?”

For a while, Ashita made a worried face when she realized that Dre was in a strange state.
He had his head bowed and his shoulders trembled.

“De-derain? Why?”

He reached out and shook Dre’s shoulder, and he looked up.
And Ashita was surprised.

Dre’s eyes were shaking as if he was about to cry.

“Asita.”
“What’s wrong? Derain? What’s going on?”

What the hell happened to make this man look like this?
Immediately after, his wrist was grabbed.

“I’m really, really sorry. I hate to say this, but I know it’s ridiculous…”
“Uh, yes, yes. Tell me.”

Counseling can do anything.
How much Dre has helped you so far.
Rather, the moment I thought it would be nice to be able to help, to rely on, Dre said.

“Have sex with me.”
“…Yes?”

Dre spoke in a sad voice, but more clearly this time.

“Have sex with me, Ashita.”
“Uh, um…Huh?”

After a while.
Ashita spits eweh?!?! A sound rang out.
