Chapter 059. Let’s get that out of the way

Gauss’ vision was split in half.

one side up. one side down.

“No words… … not… … okay… … .”

The flames that burned in the eye sockets gradually faded.

Eventually, when the flames were completely gone, he rattled like a marionette on a string and collapsed helplessly.

Kwajik! Kwajik!

Aaron trampled on the split skull and struck it with his sword, turning it to powder.

“What are you up to?”

He asked, looking at the powdered Gaos.

Of course, there was no answer back.

‘I can roughly guess.’

Since the end of the Great War a thousand years ago, Gaos’s only goal was to resurrect his master.

If you don’t get rid of him and leave him alone, Azazel will really resurrect at the end of the game, so it’s safe to say that clearing the game is wrong.

‘It won’t be like Bronkel.’

Seeing that the doppelganger was already popping out, his plan was going smoothly.

However, that ends here.

He will forever regret having sacrificed his body so easily.

‘I’ve saved a load.’

To completely kill a lich, you must annihilate its soul, not its body.

Proof of this is that the level didn’t rise even after breaking this bone.

Since the body was destroyed, everything was fine if only the soul was found and burned.

“hey. Wake.”

Aaron soon escaped from his thoughts and supported Raast.

“Ugh… … .”

Rhaast clutched his head with a shattering headache.

Richie’s voice still echoed in his head.

The feeling of being controlled with both eyes open was indescribably terrifying.

I didn’t want to experience this a second time.

“Sir Rhaast!”

Nesti arrived just in time and put a hand on his shoulder.

The light that enveloped her moved intact to Rhaast.

Richie’s voice, which had been ringing incessantly, disappeared in the warm light.

“… … thank you.”

Raast let out a light sigh and opened his eyes.

“Are you two all right?”

“I’m fine.”

“me too.”

Nesty and Aaron nodded.

“Why does the lord look better? I’ve seen you get hit with magic.”

Raast, who was looking at the two, tilted his head.

Nesty looked very tired from blocking Gaos’ attack, but Aaron, who was hit directly by the magic, was fine without a single injury.

“I survived being hit by a drake breath. It has nothing to do with magic.”

“oh… … So, did Lord Oberyn protect you this time too?”

“okay. But if you get hit often, he says to refrain from it, saying it’s hard.”

Aaron nodded.

Rhaast didn’t ask any more, as if he understood what had happened.

The magic the lich had just used was nothing compared to Drake’s breath.

Since Oberin could block breath, it wouldn’t be much of a job to block this type of magic once or twice.

‘It was like this.’

Nesty, who had been silently listening to the story, made a meaningful expression.

Ariel, who blessed her, did not like Aaron for selling Oberyn’s name cheaply.

But Nesty didn’t care too much about that.

She just wondered what this man was trying to hide by even selling the name of a hero.

“He knew we were coming.”

Aaron winked at Nestie and changed the subject.

Nesty smiled and nodded.

“that’s right. I think they cloned us as doppelgangers and then tried to do something.”

“Looks like you got information from the soldiers at the post.”

Rhaast clicked his tongue and looked down at the remains of Gaos.

“To think that a doppelganger suddenly appeared on the continent. Nothing like this had happened in a thousand years.”

“no. These guys were born in Death Landing, not on the continent.”

Aaron shook his head.

Doppelgangers are said to be a harbinger of disaster, but they don’t suddenly pop out of a clean, empty place.

For these powerful guys to be born, a legitimate justification was needed.

The justification for Azazel to descend again.

“Look at this.”

Aaron picked up the rags Gaos was wearing.

On the robe, which was almost completely worn away, the pattern of a family that had disappeared in the distant past remained faintly.

“What is this? Is it some kind of mercenary mark?”

Raast tilted his head.

Since the existence of the Hadman family was completely erased after their betrayal, there were more people who didn’t know about it a thousand years later.

“Aaron asked why he knew the name of the lich, so he recognized this.”

However, Nesty recognized the pattern at once and hardened her face.

Count Hadman, the first aristocrat who betrayed humanity and joined hands with the demons.

Although it was erased from the history of the continent, it still remained in the war history secretly recorded by the church.

“Was he this guy?”

After hearing Nesty’s explanation, Raast opened his mouth wide.

I heard that there was a person who betrayed mankind for the first time, but I didn’t know that it was the nobles who ruled Death Landing.

“No matter how drunk you are with Magi, to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of territories as a whole is a terrible thing.”

“So he must have become rich like this.”

Aaron kicked Gaos’ shattered skull.

Rhaast trembled as he recalled the feeling of having been mind-controlled.

“I won’t die from this, so we’ll see you again soon.”

He knew at least that a lich wouldn’t die by breaking his body.

To kill him, he had to find the life force vessel that contained his soul, but there was no way to know where the thousand-year-old lich had hidden it.

“Since you broke the body, let’s go find it first.”

“yes?”

“Do you know where it is?”

Rast and Nesti were surprised at Aaron’s words and asked back.

“There are places you can guess.”

Aaron nodded and tore off the robe he was holding in his hand.

* * *

Blade Gulch was as tough as its name.

There were countless sections where the floor had collapsed and became a stepping stone, and thousands or tens of thousands of oddly shaped rocks rose like blades awaiting victims.

“Will this one go to the goal if I miss just one step?”

“I see human bones over there. It must have been pierced through the chest.”

Raast and Nesti each expressed their feelings.

I didn’t know it well when I saw it from a distance, but when I came in, I understood why criminals were running away here.

If you go into the canyon to catch a criminal, you’ll only have more work to clean up the carcass.

“But why does it seem like things are getting tougher as you go? Is this the right way?”

Rhaast, who took a step forward nervously, let out a laugh.

He’s also been to Blade Gulch for the first time, but no matter how much he thought about it, this wasn’t the road.

At first, there were traces made as if it were a road, but now there was no place to set foot at all.

“To hide the Life Force Vessel, this has to be tidy.”

“It’s in Blade Gulch? Isn’t it Death Landing?”

“huh. I didn’t believe it at first either, but Lord Oberyn says so.”

“Sir Oberyn is not mistaken, is he?”

“what? Are you doubting the hero’s words?”

“no. It’s just a little difficult.”

Rhaast shook his head, stinging at the word hero.

Nesty secretly laughed at the sight.

“Everything has come.”

after a while Aaron, who had been walking silently, stopped.

Raast, who was closely following him, almost tripped and managed to keep his balance.

“Wow! If you’re going to stop, give me a warning! You almost went to the goal!”

“So you should have kept your distance well. Don’t you know that the percentage of negligence is 100:0 if you get it from behind?”

“… … I should have just grabbed you by the back of my lord and fell with you.”

“Oh, yes? Shall we go together then?”

Aaron grinned and raised his hand to point at his feet.

Raast laughed and raised both hands.

“All right. Please tell me where to go quickly.”

“here.”

Aaron invariably pointed down.

Tendons sprouted from Rhaast’s forehead.

“Oh, I lost. stop kidding… … .”

“I’m not joking.”

From noble mtl dot com

Aaron’s expression became serious.

“… … .”

Raast, who stood silent for a moment, followed his hand and lowered his gaze.

All that could be seen below were strangely shaped rocks in the shape of blades that seemed to embody the will to kill in the canyon, and there was no way down anywhere.

“Are there any transparent stairs anywhere?”

Even Nesty was perplexed.

Blade Canyon is a type of moat that Azazel built a thousand years ago to fortify Death Landing.

The only way to get through was through this precarious road, and once you went down, it was impossible to come up.

“There are no stairs. Just look at me and follow me.”

Aaron crossed his hands and put them on his chest, looking down.

The momentum to jump off at any moment.

Rhaast hated him and grabbed him.

“Lord. Lord! Let’s just go back. Even if there really is a Life Force vessel down there, this isn’t it. Wouldn’t it be enough to destroy such a magical skull gourd whenever it appears?”

“I agree. I understand Aaron’s feelings, but you don’t have to take this risk… … .”

“Leave him alive and Azazel will resurrect.”

“… … yes?”

Nesty paused and asked again.

Aaron slowly shook Rhaast’s hand and spoke again.

“What we are doing now will be the first step towards saving the continent.”

widely-

The next moment, he jumped down towards the blade-filled canyon.

* * *

“Kyaaa-! Mama-!”

Nesty regretted leaving Zeroth for the first time.

It was good that he believed in the prophecy to follow hypocrisy and jumped.

However, as I watched the strangely shaped rocks approaching every moment, I screamed without my knowledge.

“Sefirot-! I won’t forget to pray… … !”

with a plop-

Nesti, who had been calling God’s name with her eyes closed, opened her eyes to the cold energy that covered her entire body.

When I took a breath in my surprise, ice-like water rushed into my nose and mouth.

“Kureuk-!”

I struggled to get to the top of the water, but my body didn’t listen to me because of the shock of the fall and pitch-black darkness.

Chow-!

Just before panicking, something grabbed her by the back.

“Coke! Coke!”

Nesty knelt down and vomited the water out of her lungs.

When I came to my senses, someone next to me was patting me on the back.

“Aaron, Aaron? Heck, heck… … .”

“Calm down. It’s over.”

Aaron spoke softly and straightened her hair so that Nestie could feel at ease.

“Whoa… … Am I really alive?”

“He’s alive and well.”

Aaron laughed and got up and held out his hand to Nesty.

“Can you stand up?”

“yes. thank you.”

Nesti barely got up, took a moment to catch her breath, and then looked around.

However, there was no light, so I could barely see Aaron right next to me.

She put her hands together and raised her divine power.

“Light.”

Then, a small, sparkling light spread from the fingertips like fireflies, illuminating the surroundings.

“… … her.”

Nesty observed her surroundings with her mouth slightly open.

She was standing by the lake.

Around the lake, dozens of tree-shaped statues carved out of rocks rise, and on a small island in the middle of the lake, a statue of an elf with pointed ears was praying while looking up at the sky.

“I am now… … Are you dreaming?”

“no. This is reality.”

“How can a place like this under Blade Gulch… … I’ve never heard of this… … .”

“This is the Shadow Forest.”

“The Shadow Forest?”

Nesty looked at Aaron.

A look that seems to be asking for an explanation. It seemed to be the first name I had ever heard of.

“The Shadow Forest… … .”

“aaa-!”

with a plop-

The moment I was about to continue the explanation, something crashed into the lake with a desperate scream.

shoot ah-

The impact was so great that sprays spread in all directions and hit Aaron and Nesty.

“… … .”

The two of them silently wiped the water from their faces.

As I was tidying up my hair, something floated in the middle of the lake.

Not struggling, not screaming, it seemed like she had fainted.

“First, let’s save that friend.”

“yes.”

The two jumped into the lake at the same time as if they had promised.

Only I am immune to magic
