Chapter 71 – Lines Are Visible

#071.

In fact, no line was visible.

Just felt

The death of everything in the world.

“What is this…”

When she held out her hand, a long thread ran between the wall and her fingers.

The thread was connected to one corner of the wall, and I gently pressed it—

Fu-wook!

My fingers pierced it with ease, as if they had pricked some kind of pudding.

“And…”

If it’s my physical ability, I can do the same thing with pure power.

But now, he was using only the strength of a child.

“Could I be there too?”

When I quickly lowered my head and looked at my body, I could feel the thread.

“Heart. Head. And… What is this?”

I could understand the major organs like the heart and head, but I couldn’t understand one.

A thread that moves the whole body rapidly in real time even now.

I was able to realize it while looking at it quietly.

“The aura is passing.”

Exceed continues to circulate the aura throughout the body without me even being aware of it.

The thread is now reflecting the path in real time.

Aura gives a lot of power, but it is also a power that can be dangerous.

What if you attack the place where the aura is circulating?

“Then I’ll get hurt…”

What a force.

To be honest, I just dismissed it as a precedent skill that I took because of the extinction, but the Karma 5000 was not a waste at all.

The understanding of death was a skill that had a tremendous effect on its own.

“This is why you need a spiritual eye.”

Another prerequisite skill for annihilation is Spiritual Eye.

I knew how to kill.

So, to kill the soul, you must now be able to see the soul itself.

Since then, I have experimented with this and that, but it is too difficult to find out alone in the room.

“I’m going to go to the commission tomorrow, so I’ll have to find out then.”

I decided to postpone figuring out the skill of understanding death until tomorrow and lay down on the bed right away.

***

“Kooooo!!”

The Oak Warrior howled violently and swung a sword wrapped in an aura.

That moment.

‘See. The thread in the gap!’

The thread protruding from his sword touched his shoulder blade.

Sssss-

Due to his excellent body vision, he could see the sword falling slowly.

The thread gets closer and closer.

Sigh-

I looked at it and took a step back.

Then the thread gets messy.

As I tried to completely remove his body from the path of the sword, the thread was pulled tight.

Looking at the thread shaking dangerously as if it would break at any moment, I pulled my body completely off the track.

Then-

Dou-wook!

The thread could not stand it and broke.

Then, the sword grazed my shoulder with a gap of a piece of paper and cut the floor.

Shit-

Looking down at the ground cracked by the sword, I raised my head and reached out my hand to his chest.

The thread and the heart draw a straight line.

Fu-wook!

And my fingers easily pierced the chest and pierced the heart.

Chow-

When he pulled out his finger and passed it gently and looked behind him, the Orc Warrior hesitated, then let go of his sword and tried to stop the blood flowing out of his chest.

However, the blood continued to flow, and he eventually lay down on the floor.

Thud!

When the 2m tall body fell to the floor, a heavy noise rang out, announcing the end of the fight.

“Haap!”

Chew!

Coincidentally, Mark also finished off an Orc Warrior with Lina.

“Now, the two of you can easily catch an Oak Warrior, right?”
“So what. By the way… What’s that skill? I’m seeing it for the first time.”

Mark glanced at his finger as he brushed off the blood on his sword.

“Oh, is this? Should I just say that I have attained enlightenment? Yes.”
“Oh, really? That’s great~ Rai, aren’t you interested in articles? With that talent, you could even become a knight.”

Likewise, Lina, who was brushing off the blood on her short sword, asked.

“A knight? I’m not really interested. I hate being confined to one place.”
“Haha! It’s a waste. Well, thanks to you, we are benefiting from you.”
“Then let’s go catch the next ones.”
“Calm down. Retrieve the evidence first.”

Lina stopped me from rushing and pulled out the orc’s molars.

‘Ha.. Let’s calm down.’

It seems that I have become impatient after wasting all 5000 karma at once.

Every time I opened the status window, I was worried about the karma that was less than 100.

‘But it’s okay because the effect is certain…’

As I was pulling out my molars, I looked at the wood and saw the fine grain.

When I swipe the texture with my finger, a line is drawn in that pattern.

Look at the rock this time.

The death of the rock is seen.

Fu-wook!

When she presses with her finger, the area dents.

“It’s great..”

To see all the deaths in the world was truly stupendous.

Maybe now the surprise attack will completely disappear.

You can detect it in advance with your sixth sense, and it is easy to avoid death because you can see it directly.

“Then let’s go!”
“Yeah~”

After recovering all the molars, we went around the mountains again to hunt monsters.

***

“Ah.. When will you learn the Spiritual Eye again..”

Swordsmanship was also being trained hard, but there was no sign of progressing further at 6 stars.

I remember what Hughes said.

“Did you say that 99% of the 6-star levels don’t reach 7-star?”

I hate to think I belong to that 99 percent.

If you have reached 6 stars at the age of 14, you will be able to reach 7 stars as well.

The question is, when the heck is that?

Since his swordsmanship is so sluggish, he naturally has no choice but to cling to karma.

After mastering the skill of understanding death, honestly, I don’t think I have any opponents anymore on an equal footing.

Wheei-

Just then, a cold autumn wind blew through the open window.

“It’s already November..”

It’s already been a year since I broke up with my lovers.

In the meantime, he had been diligently checking the news of the kingdom of Lianne, but there was nothing abnormal.

It’s not too happy that everyone is safe, but…

“Oh, I want to have sex..”

Masturbation only makes me more frustrated anyway, and I don’t even want to sleep with anyone.

It’s been more than 5 months since I haven’t had sex, so it’s getting hard.

I was looking down at the window to see if there was a hot older sister, but the door suddenly opened.

“Lie! It’s a big deal!”
“Sister? What happen?”

Mark, who had just appeared behind Lina, answered my question.

“A special request has occurred. They say that ancient ruins have appeared.”
“Ancient ruins?”
“Okay. Did you know that corpses often appeared on Mount Morach? It must be because of the ancient ruins.”

Certainly, on the first day I came to Dykers Manor, there was a story that a frozen corpse was found there.

If something happens, it is natural that there is a cause.

“So, let’s accept that request?”
“Actually, we are thinking about quitting mercenaries.”
“Yes? Why?”

At my question, Mark and Lina smiled awkwardly and looked at each other with affectionate eyes.

“Because I have someone to spend the rest of my life with. I can’t do anything dangerous anymore.”
“Huh. Me too… Do you want to have a child with Mark?”

‘Ah, unlucky..’

Dare to raise a death flag.

“Once I get it. Does that mean the reward is that great?”

Mark nodded his head as we separated the two to dry before putting the death flags down completely.

“Okay. It seems that they are trying to figure out the location of the ruins by putting in a large number of mercenaries. What are you going to do?”
“Um…But it’s too dangerous. Are you okay?”

Even if I die, I will live, but not the two.

To be honest, I don’t like the idea of ​​retiring after a huge craving like this.

Because I don’t want the two of us to die.

But Mark put an end to my concerns with a smile.

“Haha! I don’t intend to obsess over this matter as much. If you don’t like it at the entrance, you’ll fall out.”
“Then I’m glad.”

First of all, it is fortunate that the two are not blinded by greed.

I was a little relieved, but Mark brought up a tempting story.

“Besides, there will be a technical book. How are you? Lai, aren’t you interested in becoming stronger?”
“Technical book? What is it?”
“The description is an ancient artifact that allows you to acquire special abilities just by reading it. For example, there are people who read it and gain the ability to jump through space.”

‘Crazy!’

If you compare it to a game, it’s no different from a skill book.

In other words, just reading will increase your unique skills.

If it’s the ability to jump over space, it’s definitely a unique skill.

‘What should I do?’

It’s risky, but there’s a lot to be gained.

It’s probably not that common that it’s an ancient ruin.

‘I can go to the deep places by myself.’

You can just pretend to have escaped and go alone in the evening to attack.

After drawing up a rough plan, I accepted the offer.

“All right. Then let’s go right away.”
“Okay. Well decided Anyway, once we find the location, we will dispatch the knights. Even if you are a noble, you will be coveted.”

This is also true.

There was no way a noble would hand over the treasures of the ancient ruins from his territory to mere mercenaries.

Even so, the reason for such a massive announcement must be that the attack would be impossible with the help of mercenaries.

‘But those are other mercenaries.’

Because I’m a bit special compared to other mercenaries.

“Go quickly!”

I urged the two of them to leave the inn and head straight to the mercenary guild.

Then, I saw that there were two to three times more people than usual.

The mercenaries who received the request in real time were running to the mountain, but it was because they kept flocking.

In the end, we waited in line for about 30 minutes before we could meet the receptionist.

“What are you going to do?”
“I’m here to receive a special request.”
“Yes. Could you give me your mercenary card?”

After receiving and handing over everyone’s mercenary cards, the receptionist briefly scrawled a ballpoint pen and handed it to the assistant next to him.

“Yes. Reception has been made. Then, do you have anything else to do?”

After nodding, the receptionist immediately called for the next person, and we slipped to the side and left the mercenary guild.

“Ugh… So many people.”
“Haha! They say that mercenaries are coming from other provinces as well. Then let’s go to the general store first. I have to stay there for a few days.”
“Yes. Come on!”

Urging Mark, we headed straight to the general store.

And after purchasing winter clothes and other preparations, he hired a coachman at the wagon waiting station and headed for the mountain.

“What is it? It has become a complete snow mountain.”
“Okay. Even though it’s still autumn.”

The mountains were frozen here and there as if it were midwinter, blowing off a biting chill.

Dou-wook!

When I touched the frozen leaves, they seemed to melt a little in the heat of my hand, and then they turned to powder.

“Lina’s sister. Aren’t you cold?”
“Huh. Are you okay. Let’s hurry!”

Concerned about Lina who couldn’t use her aura, she asked, but she seemed to be fine and cheered up.

“Then please do your best!”
“All right. Please go.”

The coachman nodded at my words and drove the carriage to one side.

Looking at it, I immediately started climbing the mountain.

“Whoa..”

As I exhaled, a thick steam rose.

Looking at the other two, their faces are still fine.

“But Mark. How do we know where the ancient ruins are?”
“You just have to find it. But if this coldness is due to the ancient ruins, wouldn’t it be colder at the entrance?”
“That’s right. Then let’s go to the coldest place!”

After making a rough conclusion, we immediately started searching around the mountain.

I circled the mountain several times and searched here and there until the sun went down, but I couldn’t find it.

“Ahh.. I don’t have one. Let’s go down today!”
“Okay. It’s getting cold.”

It was originally cold, but as night fell, the temperature definitely started to drop.

Seeing Lina shudder, we immediately returned to the carriage.

Fire-

In front of the carriage, the coachman was already making a bonfire and cooking stew.

“Uh? Is it stew?”
“Ah, are you here? Because it’s cold. I cooked the stew beforehand, how about it?”
“Good!”

Looks like they hired a good coachman.

We immediately sat around the campfire and ate stew to warm ourselves up.

“But is this mountain right? I looked everywhere and couldn’t find it.”
“It will be right. Other mountains are cold too, but it’s the coldest here.”
“It is, but…”

Frankly, I had my doubts.

Since I learned the space understanding skill, my spatial perception ability has greatly improved.

Besides, I have a very good sense compared to the state.

If I couldn’t find it, the mercenaries couldn’t find it.

So it would be correct to say that it is on a different mountain.

‘It’s definitely strange…’

This is because Mark’s theory is also highly credible.

Since the mountain was frozen due to the influence of the ancient ruins, it was clear that the center would be the coldest.

‘Wait… Did I miss something?’

First of all, in my personal opinion, there are no ancient ruins on that mountain.

However, it is also true that the mountain was most influenced by the ancient ruins.

Then…

‘Is there a long aisle by any chance?’

The entrance is not on that mountain, but if the entrance extends all the way to that mountain, there is a possibility.

‘I’ll have to search the next mountain at night.’

After I finished my thoughts alone, it was time to go to sleep.

Because this place was free from the influence of the snowy mountains, once the body temperature rose, it did not fall any further.

“Then please, sister.”
“Yes, leave it to me. Good night.”
“Yes. Haaam~”

‘Today is Malvern, so I just need to come back before then.’

Thinking so, I climbed into the carriage and pretended to be asleep.

But Mark didn’t think about it.

Leaning against the wall, I opened my eyes and saw Mark staring at me.

“Mark. What’s wrong?”
“Are you going out at night?”
“…Yes?”
“Don’t you think I don’t know what you think? What do you think? Let’s go together.”
“But..”

I tried to stop it because it was dangerous, but Mark firmly shook his head.

“Done. Don’t you think we’ll be comfortable if you send it alone? Because Rina already knows. Let’s go.”

After saying that, Mark immediately woke up the coachman and explained the situation.

“Um… You have to pay extra.”
“Yes. All right.”

So we left the coachman behind and came out.

Then Lina, who had been poking her campfire with tinder, grinned and stood up.

“Did it take a while? Let’s hurry!”
“Ehh.. Yes. Let’s go.”

I can’t help it when the two of them come this far.

‘I have no choice but to protect it.’
