Chapter 578: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
387. At the end of the canyon
The atmosphere was gloomy.
Thick fog hung between the endless cliffs rising to the left and right, obstructing the view, and occasionally the sound of grass swaying and leaves rustling could be heard.
An atmosphere where it wouldn’t be strange for anything to pop out.
“Are you sure it was a good idea not to bring Leila?”
I nodded without hesitation at Jenna’s words.
“If I had brought you here, you would have passed out by now and been carried away on a horse.”
Probably unconditionally.
Just mentioning ghost stories makes me gasp.
I don’t know how I endured the Saint Aimard incident.
“If you’re talking about Leila… … are you referring to Leila Termion, a student from the Swordsmanship Department?”
“yes that’s right.”
“Oh, my goodness. Now that I think about it, that student is also in the same club. That club is really amazing. It’s rare for children from such families to gather together.”
If you think about it, it’s unusual for one club to have two children from some of the most prestigious families in the empire.
What’s more, the fact that the club is new and not one of the famous and large clubs that already existed, such as the Swordsmanship Club or the Magic Research Club.
Of course, from our perspective, it’s nothing particularly great or surprising, but to Professor Bruno, it’s not like that.
“What an incredible group of students. Perhaps the best in the history of the Academy.”
As we chatted about this and that, the gloomy atmosphere gradually disappeared.
It was the same, but as we talked, I guess I should say that I got out of my mind.
But it’s not like I’ve let my guard down.
Because we stopped talking as we slowly realized the fog was clearing.
“It shouldn’t be from this point… … That’s strange.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If it were normal, I would have to walk a little further to reach that energy zone… … Over there, do you see it? It’s the black fog.”
Black fog.
It is clearly visible from not far away.
If the area we had been through so far was an area of gray fog, what we saw over there was pitch-black fog.
“It’s too fast. Maybe the power of the area has gotten stronger.”
“You said you came here often. Did it get this big every time you came?”
“No. It has never expanded again, it has only shrunk. This is something that is commonly mentioned in research materials related to this place. It is slowly but surely being purified.”
Of course it should be so.
Unless there is a core or driving force, the energy that just exists will eventually disappear.
Unless there is energy and an environment that can sustain it, it is normal for it to gradually disappear no matter how much there is.
“It feels like something is going on inside, somehow.”
Professor Bruno nodded at Jenna’s words.
“I shouldn’t have done that, but nothing else comes to mind.”
Then, the situation from earlier suddenly came to mind.
“The sudden entry control may have something to do with it.”
“Maybe so. It’s very likely.”
However, there is a high probability that Rockefeller, who let me in, knew nothing about it and let me pass.
Even though I’m an officer, I’m ultimately just following orders and standing guard here.
“Dane student.”
Then Professor Bruno looked at me.
It seemed like he was trying to ask something.
I answered before Professor Bruno asked.
“You’ve come this far, so let’s go in.”
“Really… …?”
“Yes. It doesn’t look particularly dangerous.”
“This is it?”
“Yes. Well, there are no monsters or direct threats.”
“That’s… … I guess that’s true.”
“Okay then. Let’s go in.”
The realm of black fog.
I don’t know what’s inside, but at least there’s nothing caught in the expanded atmosphere right now.
It means that it is not something that poses an immediate threat to me.
Of course, if you go inside, something else might pop out, but you can think about that when the time comes.
“Let’s go, Professor! We have to lift the curse!”
Jenna, who was next to him, also encouraged him, and in the end, Professor Bruno and Ju-eok-im made up their minds.
“Whew. I shouldn’t be afraid after coming all this way. That’s right. Let’s go. Inside.”
So we checked our equipment before entering the fog. We didn’t forget to set up stakes to tie up the horses.
“Behave yourself. Don’t bother the other guys.”
“Phuheng?”
Chiron turns his head away, pretending not to know.
He’s the type of guy who’ll jump into the fog if I call him, but he still needs to be a little careful this time.
“This fog is so harmful that you have to bring a purifier. If you don’t protect the animals, they won’t last long.”
“Did you hear that? Just wait here quietly.”
“Pheung.”
After giving Chiron a heads up, I checked the purifier. It was functioning normally and there didn’t seem to be any particular problems.
“Then shall we go, Professor?”
“Let’s go. Dane, Jenna.”
Professor Bruno seemed quite nervous.
If you’ve been in and out of here a few times before and you’re feeling this nervous, it’s probably because of the fog, which is stronger than you thought.
“Professor, you don’t have to be so nervous.”
“Ugh, that’s how it should be… … Maybe it’s because I feel some kind of hope. If I could really lift this curse and make Riel feel at ease… … I can’t even imagine how I would feel then.”
What is love?
I don’t know.
But at least I know one thing.
“I hope Riel feels comfortable.”
Even if the object dies, the feeling of love does not easily disappear.
Sometimes, that love grows even bigger.
So we finally took a step into the fog.
“Something… … I feel like my body is becoming extremely heavy.”
It’s just as Jenna said.
I couldn’t really feel it, but I could tell something was trying to restrict my movements.
Since I was like this, the other two definitely seemed to be moving slower.
“Was it like this before?”
“No. It wasn’t this hard before. Of course, thanks to the equipment Dane gave me, my breathing is much easier… … but the pressure on my body is stronger than before.”
The device I brought with me literally only blocks the infiltration of energy into the body, not all of its effects on the body as a whole.
So, it seems that the power of the energy that makes the body heavy remains the same.
“But it’s not to the point where I can’t move. It’s okay. I can move forward just fine.”
Fortunately, neither of them seemed to be in pain or struggling.
Of course I was fine.
Should I say that my magic power protects me even without me doing anything?
My magic seems really special and convenient.
“How long does it take to get to the temple?”
“It should take 30 minutes on foot. If things were as they were. But from this point on, there’s fog… … It’ll take a little under an hour. There’s not much difference.”
There is literally not much difference.
But after walking for less than 20 minutes, I could tell that the difference was bigger than I expected.
“Geuuuuuuu… … .”
A small cry is heard from not far away.
Memories of when I first met Saint Aimar suddenly come to mind.
Sling.
I took out the short spear my father had given me as a gift and told them both.
“Get ready. It’s coming.”
“What, what is it?”
“It’s undead.”
“Are you… dead?”
Professor Bruno was startled, and Jenna was also startled, but soon calmed down and prepared for battle.
“Jenna, how are you?”
“There are many powerful spirits around. Most of them are warlocks, but there are also a few from excellent warriors mixed in.”
“Then I will ask you to give me the platform.”
“Leave it to me.”
Professor Bruno said he had encountered monsters before.
But there was no mention of the undead.
That means something has changed.
“oh my god…….”
That’s also a huge change.
Something whitish seemed to be stirring in the fog, and then a horde of undead appeared in front of me.
At most, there are more than a hundred.
Rather than a corpse, it seemed like a few pieces of flesh attached to bones were moving forcibly.
Professor Bruno said, trying to regain his composure.
“Undead that have never appeared before… … The only explanation for their appearance is that there was some kind of artificial intervention.”
“Isn’t there a possibility that something could happen naturally or by chance?”
“It’s low. Very low. The definition of undead is beings that can neither live nor die depending on ‘others’ will.”
Other.
That’s the point.
Beings who cannot live or die due to the will of others.
If so, that means they were caused by some ‘other person’.
“It’s possible that the spell to raise the undead that was cast a long time ago has only appeared now because certain conditions have been met… … .”
Just find out the truth.
“Hey, when are we going to fight?”
Jenna, who had just finished her training, or rather, the soul of the warrior who had entered Jenna’s body, was asking.
“now.”
Papak!
Jenna and I jumped out almost at the same time.
The way to deal with the undead is simple.
Just smash the head.
It would be enough to just sweep them all away with magic, but since we’ve come this far, Jenna should have a chance to make an impact.
I also want to use the window for the first time in a long time.
Phew!
The start was to blow up both guys at the same time.
The undead didn’t have anything in particular.
He is neither armed nor wielding any unknown powers, as we saw in the Hall of Saint Aimar.
Boom, crunch!
“Hey, Silver Hair. Isn’t it too easy?”
Jenna’s side also looks too simple.
He looks extremely relaxed as he shrugs his shoulders as if he is relieved.
Dealing with a hundred or so undead took no time at all.
It probably didn’t even take 10 minutes.
This isn’t because the spirits in Nana Jenna’s bodies are particularly strong, but because these undead are just too weak right now.
It’s at a level where anyone can handle it as long as they’re not afraid.
What on earth is it?
It was at that time that I was expressing my doubts inwardly.
“Then that’s right.”
The corpses that had burst and been torn to pieces began to writhe, then suddenly began to come together.
And in an instant, they become a single colony and start moving and living?
“Have you ever seen such a crazy case?”
The spirit that had taken hold of Jenna’s body clearly showed its many colors.
“Hey, Silver Hair! You’d better run away. You can’t deal with that thing!”
“What is that?”
I asked out of pure curiosity.
It’s my first time seeing it.
“That’s a group of the most powerful corpses among the undead! They have incredible power!”
“Really? What’s your name?”
“Abomination!”
I see
It’s my first time hearing that name.
“Run away no matter what! I’ll take that gentleman back there!”
“are you okay.”
“what?”
In the meantime, the colony took full shape.
It’s like looking at a huge, fat giant.
The corpses were stuck together, creating a truly grotesque sight.
I raised my magical power and created five fireballs.
And he asked the spirit that had been summoned to Jenna.
“Is this okay?”
“You… were a wizard?”
That means it can be done.
Without hesitation, I fired the fireball towards Abomination.
Boom!
