Chapter 823

Knot(10)

ugh… … !!

The shape of the sixth tail that glows with transparent light and floats slowly from the tip of Darby’s tail.

Did Darby absorb the ghost ship that Lennok acquired when entering Yorta and make it into a new tail?

Considering that Darby had never attempted anything like this without Lennok’s permission, it must have been remarkable.

It would be good to know Darby’s condition in advance before investigating the ruins.

But the moment Lennok grabbed his tail, Darby jumped up from his spot in surprise.

[Aww?!]

A huge fox rolling on the ground of the ruins as if surprised by a new texture he hadn’t even known about.

Following that movement, the ash from the ruins clung to Darby’s fur, contaminating her body.

[What, what is this?]

To check the sixth tail that suddenly appeared, he turns his head and spins around to catch the tail.

The moment Lennok shook his head over Dabi, who was rolling on the ground trying to somehow turn his tail.

flash!!

The sixth tail glowed and grew explosively, transforming into a huge ship in the middle of the ruins.

The vessel, shrouded in pale mist, falls over the ruins and sweeps away the ruins, in disrepair.

coo!!

[Wow!!]

As Dabi struggled at the sight, the ship was absorbed again and returned to the form of a tail, then released.

While the ruins swayed ceaselessly, Darby, whose eyes were spinning, struggled on her front legs.

Lennok let out a small sigh and raised his mana.

keying!!

Pull out the magician, tie the belly of the giant fox, and lightly lift it into the air.

When we shared our thoughts and forcibly stabilized Darby’s magic, Darby stopped with his tail hanging down.

[ugh.]

Lennok nodded as he looked at Darby, who was clinging to the magician with his tongue hanging weakly.

“I will check what I can judge right away. Are your senses okay?”

[…] … ah.]

Darby looked at the six droopy tails and tilted her head.

[The sense itself seems to be no different from other tails… … Rather, I think it was there from the beginning.]

“What about horsepower? Are there any changes to the overall flow?”

Lennok asked, watching Darby.

I had already come to my own conclusions by observing the spirits, but I still needed to check with Darby myself.

“There may be something different about how you feel. Think carefully.”

[Mmm… … .]

Darby pondered for a long time with her front paws curled up at those words, then nodded vaguely.

[The magic power has increased significantly, but… … Numerically, there is almost no problem. I ran the simulation and it’s the same.]

“Right.”

Lennok finally nodded, put down the Dabi, and said.

“I think I now know why the sixth tail was created for you.”

[yes?]

“Through image sharing with me, you already have a magnetic field. I haven’t reached the hierarchy, but I’m definitely aware of the concept.”

Dabi’s magnetic realm of dreaming is the power to freely use the supernatural powers of the brain space to bring them down into reality.

It is an ability that Darby awakened in the decisive battle with Gearside, and it is the realm of spirits obtained with the help of Lennok.

It is clear that Darby recognized the concept of territory, although he had to use Lennok’s help to develop it.

“Since I already have a territory, I thought that the hierarchy would naturally rise over time… … Maybe I was misjudged.”

said Lennok, caressing Darby’s tail waving in the air.

“From the sixth tail onwards, it seems that it must be completed based on the external nature or intention. The premise is wrong.”

The sixth tail, transparent like a ghost.

The reason it looks different from the other tails is probably because it was based on Onion’s ghost ship.

Then, why should the sixth tail be completed by absorbing external thoughts and powers?

Lennok thought the reason might be based on how the hierarchy was reached.

The seven hierarchies of self-modification. A change in the nature of magical power derived from the 6th level of the sword.

If you think of him, you should consider that Darby’s sixth tail was completed after being stimulated by the nature of spiritual power.

“A change in quality that is properly dealt with in the sixth hierarchy. If the nature of the tail itself should change under the influence… … .”

The reason why a new tail couldn’t be made for a while after the fifth tail bloomed.

Perhaps the reason Darby couldn’t keep up with Lennok’s growth was because of a lack of environment to reach a new hierarchy.

It was only after recognizing that the nature of the sixth bloomed tail was different from the previous one, that it was vaguely guessed.

“When we go back to Balkan, let’s find a place or historic site that has good effects on the spirits.”

[master… … .]

“Now that you know how, making the seventh tail shouldn’t be difficult. From then on, it’s up to you, but… … .”

It was difficult to grasp the birth and growth of the Brain Spirit because it was fundamentally different from other spirits, but once you know the method, you can get results right away.

If you use the personal connections and assets that Lennok has accumulated in Balkan, it will not be difficult at all to find a suitable environment or variable for Darby.

Darby looked at Lennok as if slightly moved, then raised his front paw and stroked Lennok’s head wildly.

[When I return to Balkan, I will hack the city government network and find related information!]

“… … Okay, okay, let’s talk about it for now.”

Dabi is hanging on a body that has not been properly treated for injuries, so it is difficult to breathe.

Darby, who was excited, returned to its original size and put it in his arms, and Lennok took a step back.

rattle!!

Yorta’s subterranean steps nestled deep in the headlane river.

Although I smashed the Croken Asilus Tower. A subterranean stairway hidden under the river still exists.

It must be because the ruins of this underground layer were originally made long before the Mangwiya trip.

Among them, Lenok reached the 19th basement floor of the memorial tower mentioned by Nimel Naidri.

Gooo!!

As I walk inward past the dried seaweed at the entrance to the site, I feel the air flow change.

A huge arch-shaped gateway located inside the ruins where acrid ash dust is scattered.

All around it was a bedrock that had been burnt to black, and rubble that had turned to ashes.

Less!

Broken skeletons buried among the ashes roll around as if they were being hit at their feet.

“… … .”

Nimel called this place the crematorium where the meritorious and traitors of Yorta were gathered together and burned.

Perhaps this place is the old official of Yorta. Could it be that it was used for the purpose of burning the body?

That moment when Lennok thought so and lifted the shattered skull with his gloved hand.

[uuuuuuuu!!]

Blue eyes flashed from the inside of the skull, and he bit off Lennok’s hand with a sudden force.

Jijik!!

He bites down on Lennok’s finger caught in the glove, but it is blocked by the shield over his skin and crumbles.

“what?”

As he raised his mana and smashed the skull he was holding, something began to rise one by one from among the ashes.

[Ugh… … !!]

[Curl!!]

On the outside, they look like ordinary humans, but all of them have their stomachs and chests torn out, and inside they are rotting corpses.

Lennok nodded, immediately recognizing the approaching monsters with a grotesque moan.

“It’s a ghoul.”

[Isn’t it different from the unpleasant feeling I’ve seen before?]

“It’s because decomposition doesn’t progress even after death due to some variable.”

Lennok answered and looked away.

“It is said that the church held a large-scale memorial service here, so that is probably why.”

[Aaaaaaa!!]

As if using their voice as a signal, the shapes of the ghouls spread their arms all at once and rushed towards Lennok.

It drips dry saliva from its mouth and drips fragments of rotten, crushed intestines under its feet.

Darby asked, sensing that his speed and strength were unusual.

[Master, should I do it for you?]

He pressed Nimel to release the restraints of the shrine and escaped, but Lennok’s condition did not improve enough to move.

A series of battles, including a decisive battle against the Ascendant, and a series of battles against Requiem and Croken.

The accumulated damage of recovering the body and getting hurt was a serious condition that could not be recovered by just taking a few days off.

It would have been impossible to get out of bed if it hadn’t been for the power of drugs that he had put a lot of effort into over the years by combining painkillers, stimulants, potions and elixirs.

Darby knew that even consuming mana right away would put a burden on Lennok.

“no. I do.”

But Lennok shook his head and took out a small metal sphere from his chest and threw it.

The orb deflected over the ghoul’s head as if it were natural due to poor throwing skills.

[…] … master?]

The moment Darby tilted her head at the sight of the metal object moving away behind the ghoul’s head.

The white-shining revolver went off as soon as it was grabbed from Lennok’s hand.

[Aim correction: 3-step amplification]

[trajectory guidance]

[recoil control]

[Single Shot: Precision]

A revolver bullet with 4 stacks of shooting assist magic instantly fired from Lennok’s fingertips.

Taang!!

Accurately hit the orb that floated above the ghoul’s head and detonated an intense explosion on the spot.

Kwaaang!!

[Ahhhh… … !!]

Several ghouls approaching right in front of you are swept away by the explosion and collapsed, but the heat does not reach Lennok and fades away.

Lennok watched it, took out several more metal orbs of the same type from his bosom, and tossed them in all directions.

Compressed small rounds that emit power only within a radius of 7.75 m. It is an object that can be used indoors as long as the range of its power is well calculated.

It is possible to control the damage to the interior by minimizing the radius of the explosion even in the ruins that exist underground like now.

Tata Tang!!

Regardless of Lennok’s poor dexterity, when he is far from the radius of the small round, he uses the shooting assist magic to hit and explode the small round.

Every time he pulled the trigger of his revolver, a violent explosion that was several times the size of an aimed shot erupted and swept away the ghouls at random.

Bubber!!!

[Gahhh… … .]

[Kurruk!!]

Aiming and shooting a revolver between the eyebrows of a ghoul who approached a distance that could not be covered with explosives.

A pure white magical light rises from the back of the ghoul’s head and blows cleanly down the neck.

Lennok’s hand, which had superimposed sub-magic, moved smoothly as if guided by his own will, and repeatedly reloaded and fired.

Charreuk!!

At the same time, several firearms came pouring out from within the robe and stuck to Lennok’s hand.

The ghouls rushing in at high speed smashed their bodies by pushing them away with their rechargeable shotguns.

The ghouls standing up from afar were fired with the Predator Machine Gun to make them hive in advance.

Doo doo doo!!!

Right after that, explosives spread all over the place hit the bullet and exploded, blowing hot air.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… … !!]

[Greuk… … !!]

Pull the trigger a few more times on the staggering ghoul’s head even after his body burns down.

Tattang!!

Almost no mana was consumed while burning hundreds of ghouls that stood up nonstop as if protecting the ruins.

Darby looked at him and asked tiredly.

[The efficiency of the auxiliary magic is almost perfect. How long will you continue remodeling like that?]

“Until you can use it against monsters like the Croken.”

Lennok responded and began to look at the bone dust and debris scattered all over the crematorium.

Unlike the cluttered space outside the crematorium, as you head inward, the surroundings begin to become cleaner.

A floor made of pure white marble is exposed, and a beautifully shaped ossuary is displayed on a wall isolated with glass.

After discovering an empty urn, Lennok pondered and reached for it.

Chow!!

Lennok murmured as he took out the urn with a magician and inspected it.

“It’s a good thing. It is designed for easy preservation and observation from inside and outside. It’s old, but the design itself is impeccable.”

[I needed something like this to prove that Master’s notoriety wasn’t a rumor.]

“… … I had no intention of using it for that purpose.”

Ignoring Darby’s words, I rummaged through the shadow robes and found the remains of bone powder.

Lennok knelt slowly and carefully transferred the bone meal into the urn.

Remains of the ascendant’s victorious body and extinction.

Dorae was once a berserker who not only existed as a vessel for the leader, but also obtained the ascendant’s hierarchy.

If it is a remnant strong enough to remain even after the body is destroyed, it will surely be useful someday.

Lennok, who had transferred the remnants of the arrival to the urn, placed it in his bosom and raised his gaze.

The shape of an old altar located in the deepest part of the crematorium.

At the end of it, there was a grotesque landscape that even Lennok was overwhelmed for a moment.

“This… … .”

On either side of the altar were rows of giant blades that far exceeded Lennok’s height.

Blades lined up from all sides as if aiming at an altar, and the figures of dead bodies beneath the blades.

People who died in old-fashioned robes, kneeling in a prayerful position under the blade.

Dozens of corpses are preserved in a circle around the altar, as if they had entrusted their lives under the scaffold.

“… … .”

The moment I met him, I knew right away.

A place where the cult started the memorial service ceremony and dedicated its followers to Mangwi Night.

Did you offer only your soul to Mangwiyatravel through offerings, leaving your body here as it is?

Slowly approaching the dead corpse under the blade, Lenok checked the corpse’s appearance and fell silent.

“The corpse… … .”

Dead corpses, as if praying with their eyes closed, are no longer normal human figures.

A bizarre appearance where the skin cracks and shines like transparent glass, revealing the internal organs and skeleton intact.

I have seen human sacrifices by the cult many times, but most of them are cruel and horrifying. I have never seen an offering left so bizarrely neat.

Is this the result of the horrors created through human sacrifice conducted by the religious leader’s direct intervention?

Lennok silently followed the corpses toward the altar, checking the structure of the stipule engraved on the altar.

Unknown characters form a huge circle rotating around the altar.

Perhaps it was here that Nimel and other members of the religious order were offered as offerings for Mangwiya.

[You don’t seem to feel any power or thoughts on the outside.]

“yes. but… … .”

Following Darby’s words, Lennok murmured as he circled the altar and stroked the flat surface.

“It’s a little, but it’s definitely similar.”

Apostolic selection ceremony attempted by Priestess Izel Nydri in the Far East Branch of the Church.

The appearance of the offering altar, which Izel had made himself at the time, and the altar here are very similar.

“The priestess of the time came and made this altar herself.”

Considering that Mangwiyahaeng is a very old ascension ceremony, the priestess who made the altar at the time must not have been Izel Naidry.

However, the similarity in appearance of this altar to that of the altar built by Izel supports Lennok’s speculation.

[Unpleasant smell… … .]

Darby also knows what he is talking about, as he has watched the work of the Far East Branch from the side.

The brain spirit jumped out of his arms, knocked the altar with his paws, and tilted his head.

[It emits magic waves and sees through the interior, but it is a simple stone. Is there anything else besides the unique appearance?]

“The church is crazy, but they are not the ones who will do things sloppily. After the offering was over, the traces must have been wiped clean. but… … .”

Saying that, Lennok took off his glove and held out his wrist.

“If it is a symbol of the same denomination, the story will be different.”

The image of a pure white stigma engraved under the wrist.

Priestly power given to Lennok by Seina Naidri.

The moment I brought the stigma engraved on my wrist onto the altar, the altar vibrated violently.

A pure white light fell on the altar, which had nothing on it, and heated the altar in pure white.

Chi profit!!

The light that hit the altar and heated the stone plate began to engrave something on its surface.

In an instant, the writings engraved on the surface drooped out of the altar and spread all over the crematorium along the floor.

The characters that had been carved around the altar as if drawing a circle responded and merged together, turning into characters that Lennok could recognize.

Kigi Geek!!

“This… … .”

The shape of a huge law circle completed by densely inscribed letters around an old altar.

Lennok looked at the court in silence, then stepped back and read the text.

[Through the legitimate transaction between the Pope and Yoreta, we leave evidence for the continuation of Mangwi Night.]

In return for enshrining the remains of the arrival in the Sanctuary of Infinity, make offerings to the followers in the Pope’s Castle to help the night traveler.

A kind of statement that records the situation at the time so closely that there is not enough space to write down the date, time, and due date.

The Church of Guido left the contents of the transaction with Yoreta as evidence of the ritual.

A record of the details and circumstances of the transaction. The principle of consciousness and the power of borrowed foreign media. Even a notary who has been invited to prove the ceremony.

“I hand over the grace by giving up the spirit and entrusting the body, so I borrow the following name and write down the ceremony.”

Lennok quietly read out the last chant inscribed in the center of the altar.

“The price of this ceremony is transferred to the notary public, and the infinite glory is postponed next… … .”

Lenok, who had read up to that point, checked the name written next and smiled bitterly.

“… … Right.”

Why did the gyoju keep the vessel of arrival in the dark?

Even after fighting the Ascendant’s body and annihilating its existence, Lennok could only understand its intentions.

The cult master did not keep the body of the ascendant in the Sanctuary of the Eternal for himself.

For someone who should one day visit Yoreta and dwell in the body of the arrival on behalf of the cult leader himself.

Arrangements have been prepared for the dead who have already failed and died and whose names are being forgotten.

In place of the silent Lennok, Darby slowly read the name written on the edge of the altar.

[In the name of Kaise Bajour, I prove the ceremony and hand over the price.]
