Chapter 579: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
388. Nobody dies
The sight of the corpses burning together was disgusting.
Not only the scenery, but also the smell was like that.
It can’t be a pleasant sight.
There must have once been a living, moving soul inside of me, but now I can’t even maintain my form, and I’ve all clumped together to become this strange being.
Abomination.
I didn’t expect to see this here.
I didn’t know it would end this simply.
“It was so easy. I thought I was going to die.”
“Is that what you were hoping for?”
“No, even if it looks like you’re only doing one thing, you’re talented. I don’t think anyone can ever take this body away from you.”
The soul of a warrior who sticks out his tongue.
“What the hell is going on? You’re so good at using spears and magic too? Did the trend change while I was dead?”
“No. The circle and the core are still incompatible.”
“Then what are you?”
“Me? A mutant.”
“… … .”
Knock, knock… … .
The Abomination that existed until just now has almost completely burned down to ashes.
I got hit by five fireballs, what could I do?
It’s normal for that to happen, unless the opponent is a dragon.
Undead are also weak to fire.
“The heat is powerful. No matter how you look at it, it’s not ordinary fire. It’s very powerful. It’s a bit different from ordinary magic.”
These were the words of the warrior who had taken possession of Jenna’s body.
“Do you know about magic?”
“You know. I burned to death. Here.”
He died in a fire.
“What happened?”
“The guys you just burned hired me. They were mercenaries.”
“Mercenaries? I thought that was where the warlocks were massacred.”
“There are fools in this world who would even set foot in a place like that. There are even those who would invade the Emperor’s tomb if they heard there was money to be made there.”
iced coffee.
I think he’s talking about grave robbers.
“Those who raid graves are the kind of people who would go to hell if it meant money. That’s what the guys who hired me were like.”
“You didn’t know this was a place like this?”
“I was also crazy about money. That’s why I came here and died. The imperial family came out to punish me. They even brought magicians and summoners with them.”
So that’s when he died.
“Are you feeling resentful?”
“Han? I don’t have any regrets about death itself. I just thought I’d take that money and retire, but that’s the only regret. But now that I think about it, I probably would’ve taken that money, spent it lavishly, and then gone back to eating rice with a knife. It’s obvious. That’s life.”
I smiled bitterly at the brave warrior’s words.
“If you wish, I can tell the owner of that body and have him purify it.”
“That’s not bad either. Being here is pretty painful, even for the soul.”
That sounds a bit strange.
“If you are suffering even in a spiritual state, is it possible that the power of another soul is influencing you?”
“Rather, it’s the power that the souls that gather together and emit. Over there, in the inner temple. Most souls, including myself, feel that way.”
I asked as I remembered.
“Did anyone come in here or something?”
More than a hundred undead.
And the Abomination, created by the union of those undead.
Is this really a natural phenomenon?
“Yes. It’s been about two months?”
also.
“Who were they?”
“There were quite a few of them. About fifteen? They went into the temple.”
“in?”
“Yeah. I was a bit surprised when I saw it, but I haven’t heard anything about him since then, whether he’s alive or dead. Well, he might have crawled out while I was gone and caused this mess.”
A person inside the temple.
The energy emanating from that temple right now is unusual.
But going inside means that either you have a way to endure it like me or you are of the same species as them and are not affected at all.
“Things are getting a bit bigger.”
I just came for research.
Of course, I expected that there would be some kind of threat.
But at best, it was just a monster, I didn’t expect this.
Well, come to think of it, has anything ever gone as planned in our adventures?
It was always a series of accidents and incidents.
Of course, everything was resolved.
“Okay, that’s it. That was impressive, silver-haired fella.”
“See you later.”
And Jenna, who lifted the ban.
“Dane, you’re back.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Not bad. The physical training is showing results. You hardly seem tired.”
Jenna smiled brightly.
“That soul just now can’t be purified. The fog over here is interfering.”
This damn fog is the problem.
This means that unless the entire temple is purified, the spirits here will eventually continue to wander around here.
“Really? Then we can just sort it out and sort it out. Let’s call the professor.”
“huh.”
After a while, Professor Bruno, who had been hiding in the back due to the appearance of Abomination, returned.
“It’s been solved… ….”
“Yes. Because the undead are weak to fire.”
“… … That’s not the problem, but the problem is that we solved the undead itself… … .”
Professor Bruno muttered blankly as he looked at the still burning fragments of Abomination.
“These students are really ridiculous… … .”
Yes, that’s right.
How many Academy students will encounter an abomination, or rather, an undead, in their lifetime?
“Let’s go inside now.”
“Yes, yes.”
“According to information, there is a group of people inside the temple.”
“A bunch of people?”
“Yes. He said he came in two months before we came here.”
“oh my god.”
Oh my gosh, here we go again.
“So… … does that mean there could be another battle?”
“Unless you attack us first.”
Unless the situation is extremely threatening, we are not even considering a preemptive strike.
In most cases, they just counterattack after being attacked first.
This time it has already happened.
Because these undead couldn’t have originated naturally.
“Let’s go first.”
“Yes… … But, um, if it’s okay, can I use one of the weapons too? I… … want to defend myself.”
Come to think of it, Professor Bruno only brought a dagger.
Of course, you couldn’t have imagined that there would be a threat of this magnitude.
“wait a minute.”
I opened the subspace and took out a suitable weapon.
“It’s not… it’s not this?”
“Yes. This will be more comfortable.”
This is a magic shocker that my older sister made for me.
Just activate it and bring it to your attention, and a powerful shock made of magical energy will strike your body.
For some people, it can leave them unable to move for a while, and if inserted near the heart, it can be life-threatening.
“Press here and the moment you bring it close, you can just take it off.”
“Press, hold, release… … Yes, I understand. Are you selling this?”
“No. It’s something that can’t be sold.”
How could the Empire permit such a dangerous object?
After all, this is just one of my older sister’s inventions. I asked her about it and brought it to her after she made it and threw it away.
It was originally intended to be used as self-defense for Elgran and Wendell, who were still weak physically.
“I will use it well. Thank you.”
It’s best if there’s no use for it, but you never know what the situation will be.
So we walked a little further and arrived in front of the temple.
There were no further undead attacks along the way.
However, this gloomy atmosphere deepened further.
In particular, the feeling changed completely as we approached the temple.
“Dane. I feel like… something is going on inside.”
“Yes, I feel something, Dane.”
If two people can say something like that, how powerful must something be coming from that temple?
“I need to take a look inside for a moment.”
The temple building was so shabby that it had cracks in some places, was covered in moss, and looked like it might collapse at any moment.
I approached the temple.
There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly defensive or visible around the temple.
Suddenly.
The door seems slightly open too.
“It’s almost like they’re blatantly asking me to come in.”
What are the identities of the guys inside?
The remnants of the warlocks?
That’s unlikely, since it’s almost gone.
Or rebels?
well.
You’ll know when you go inside.
I put Torki and Karnas out just in case.
“It’s time to get active.”
“Kkuruk?”
“Caeng!”
Torki’s role is to detect threats in advance.
Karnas plays a fiery role.
Honestly, if I just had these two, I could defeat any enemy at any level without me having to do anything, right?
“Dane student, be careful.”
I heard concerns coming from behind me, so I just waved my hand and went inside.
A space filled with darkness.
As my vision quickly adapted, I was able to distinguish the outlines of objects.
The inside is literally a ruin.
A chandelier that fell and shattered.
Broken long chairs.
And to the altar that can be seen not far away.
“The altar is intact.”
Why is only the altar intact?
It was at that time that I had doubts.
“Caeng.”
As soon as I entered, Torki quickly explored the surroundings and then came back into my arms and cried softly.
This means there is something.
Torki grabbed my clothes with his tiny forepaws and then pointed somewhere with those forepaws.
2nd floor of the temple.
And the third floor.
As soon as I expanded my perspective, I could tell.
“There it is.”
There were a number of enemies who were trying hard to hide their presence.
I can vaguely feel the tension, but roughly speaking, there are more than ten people.
One thing is certain, they are not undead.
There was also a sound that was caught there.
Slurp… … .
This is the sound of a protest.
It’s an arrow.
I was expecting magic, but it’s quite physical.
“Torki. Come inside.”
“Caeng.”
“Karnas. Wait and when they attack, burn one of them.”
“Kkuruk!”
ruler.
When will you attack?
I took a step forward.
Then the sound of the protest grew deeper.
One more step.
Slurp… … .
From what I’ve heard, it sounds like they’re getting ready to fire.
Then one more step.
Ki-ki-ki-ki… … .
A sound that lets you know that you’ve pulled all the way out.
As I took my last step, I simultaneously deployed a magical shield in all directions.
Then-
Wheaaaak! Pfft!
Dozens of arrows flew in from all directions and struck the shield with a thud.
Of course, not a single one touched my body.
Why do I feel confused even though I can’t hear a single word?
After I confirmed that no more arrows were flying, I released the magic shield and immediately opened my mouth.
“Karnas.”
“Kkuruk!”
Karnas leapt out from the arms and soared into the air in an instant, emitting a powerful flame.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
The inside of the temple suddenly became bright, and one of the guys was engulfed in flames and then turned to ashes in an instant.
As expected, it’s on a whole different level from the fireballs I shoot.
The heat is so strong.
I figured out the situation in the meantime.
A group of people were hiding on the second and third floor terraces of the altar, all armed with bows and arrows.
I saw the expression too.
A look of confusion, surprise, and astonishment.
I saw him hastily raise his bow and aim at Karnas, and I shot the materialized magic at him.
Thud!
“Ugh!”
A magical bullet that strikes the bow.
I think it might have been broken.
Then another guy also took up his bow, but this time he saw the flames blazing from Karnas’ mouth and retreated in terror.
I looked up at the guys and said something.
“If you come down quietly and surrender, no one will die.”
Of course, for now.
