Episode 58 Deal with Charon (3)
“Hehe, I was wondering that too. So I did a little research.”
“inspection?”
“yes. Well, I didn’t get much information. “They’re researching divine power?”
“… … “A warlock studied divine power?”
It’s a funny situation.
Is this the same thing as a scientist studying shamanism?
The problem is, that scientist is a mad scientist.
“That’s right. “They are conducting research and experiments on divine power, the heart, demons, and humans.”
“hmm… … It’s the heart… … .”
It’s not a big deal. Divine power, demons, and humans.
These three things are closely related.
The heart was a little unusual, but it wasn’t a major problem.
If this were normal, that is.
“But I just put the puzzle together and it gives me a feel for it. Mr. Huss did a greater job than I expected.”
“Speak without hesitation. “What do you feel?”
“What is the devil’s weakness?”
“It’s divine power.”
“Does that work for humans too?”
“No, rather, restore it. Wait, no way… … !”
For a moment, fear appeared in Charon’s eyes.
It’s an expression of disbelief.
But that’s what he’s thinking right now.
“That’s right. if… … “What if divine power doesn’t work on a demon bonded with a human?”
“… … “It’s the worst.”
He nodded his head in agreement.
The devil is by no means weak, and the descending devil is even less so.
It’s difficult to deal with a weapon clad in divine power, but what if the divine power doesn’t work?
No, what if I actually recover?
“Hell is about to unfold.”
It’s just as Charon said.
The Galleta region suffers damage close to destruction because of that chimera.
‘A chimera impervious to divine power.’
That was the research and madness that the Creator of Madness was doing.
“Hehe, well, it’s still just an assumption. “Is that really going to happen?”
“Confirmed bias is not good. “If you want to live as a gutter rat, change your attitude right away.”
I’m not a gutter rat, I’m a baby rat.
-I didn’t say the same thing.
This is because I wanted to send Charon back quickly.
‘It’s slowly reaching its limit.’
If we continue the conversation any longer, my cute face might get old!?
… … It means that it is that difficult. To the point of saying crazy things like this.
‘It’s partly because I faced Charon unprepared… … .’
It is not good if the words are long.
This is because errors may occur due to conflicts between the information provided.
‘Charon will not miss even the slightest error in information.’
In addition, he provided great information about the Creator of Madness and Chimera.
We also had to make calculations about the future that would change.
“It’s going to be busy. “I will give you the artifacts as soon as you get them.”
“Hehe, I look forward to it.”
“If you remember anything else, please contact me. Cuckoos are everywhere. The password for this month’s contact is ‘scorched earth.’ “Remember it well.”
If you mix the word ‘scorched earth’ into your conversation, a nearby rat will inform Charon.
This means that we will contact Charon.
‘What is scorched earth painting, scorched earth painting? ‘How do I mix this into the conversation?’
Hehehe, Miss Luna. Would you like me to devastate you?
-If I said that, it wouldn’t be surprising if my body was devastated.
“Hehe, that’s an attractive password.”
“bouncer. Please try to correct that kind of back-and-forth speaking style. “It’s a bad habit.”
“I will try.”
“Tsk.”
Charon clicked his tongue and disappeared out the window.
Currently, this place is on the 3rd floor.
I peeked my head out the window, but there wasn’t anything resembling Charon’s hair.
[Extra-sensory], which was constantly ringing, also became quiet.
It means that I am left alone in the room.
“Whoa… … “One thing has been resolved.”
As I leaned against the wall, my body began to flow smoothly.
From listing, playing with Luna, and dealing with Charon.
Oh, so much happened.
But I couldn’t go to sleep yet.
This is because I had to organize information, delete new things I learned, and delete information that became useless.
Rustling-.
I took out a wad of paper from the drawer.
A stack of paper with various information about this game written down.
Oh, come to think of it.
‘Caron must have seen this too.’
Charon is a master of espionage.
There was no way I was going to pass up an opportunity when I wasn’t there.
I must have checked every single thing in my room.
It’s a big deal.
This means that all the information in the game has fallen into Charon’s hands.
but.
“Hehe, you must be wasting your time doing something useless.”
There was no problem at all.
* * *
Rustling-.
Charon left Zero’s room.
In his hand was a wad of paper.
Although the material was different, it had the same text engraved on it as the one in Zero’s room.
‘Death is nothing.’
After cutting the paper to the same size, I copied the location, arrangement, and even the size and small dots of the letters.
Various information about this world written by Zero, characters, hidden pieces, and even what will happen in the future.
It fell into Charon’s hands.
but.
‘What is this?’
A paper that could change the fate of the world.
But Charon couldn’t read it.
This is because all information was written in Korean.
‘It’s too long to be considered a letter to someone, and the arrangement is hectic.’
It is also ambiguous to consider it as a password for sharing information.
If it were something like that, it should be a little shorter and more concise, and it would suffice on a smaller piece of paper.
Then there is only one conclusion.
‘Have you encrypted the information you know?’
A mysterious letter that is round yet angular.
At first glance, it looks like a painting, a character that feels cute.
‘… … ‘I don’t know anything.’
This is Charon, who came into contact with various characters while living as a rat in the empire.
This is my first time seeing a text message like that.
‘Is this a letter created independently? ‘That’s amazing.’
It was pure admiration for Zero.
This is true in addition to the creation of unique characters.
‘I never thought you would notice my presence.’
If Charon wanted to, he could fool even an 8-star knight.
But it’s not enough to take your time, you even give your back to me.
It was clear that there was a special way to detect stealth.
‘Wait a minute, so you were aware of my presence back then?’
The spawning grounds of ant burrows.
Assuming that he was aware of his existence even then.
‘You showed it on purpose. ‘To talk to me.’
He deliberately created such a situation in order to build a bond and do business with him.
He threw the Leicester family as bait so that he had no choice but to attack them first.
It wasn’t like that at all, but Charon couldn’t help but be deluded.
This is because the puzzle cannot fit together so well.
“… … “You arrogant bastard.”
If I had made a mistake in speaking, I would have died immediately.
And yet, he did something like that.
‘I guess it means I was confident.’
How dare he wage psychological warfare on himself, a rat of the empire, and was confident that he would win.
He is an incredibly arrogant guy.
but.
Pisik-.
“You seem like a cocky bastard. “I guess I’ll have to teach you a trick next time.”
Contrary to his blunt words, Charon’s mouth was smiling.
I never thought he would have the brains to think like that at that age.
Just having a good head doesn’t make it that way.
It means that experience supports it.
‘It looks like you’ve had a pretty rough life.’
You want to take him in, raise him with care, inject him with many things, and then give him his place as the next rat.
It sounds good, but in reality it’s kidnapping, confinement, and training?
… … It’s an illusion.
‘Even if Luna wasn’t there, she was kidnapped right away… … No, I’m taking you with me.’
Although his identity is unknown, he at least looks better than the others.
It seemed like it would be okay to trust it for the time being.
‘Well, this isn’t important right now.’
Charon’s eyes changed.
A chimera impervious to divine power.
It’s still just a guess, but it was quite possible.
And finding information to support your guess is what it is.
myself… … No, it’s what ‘we’ do best.
Sussseu-.
Dozens of shadows appeared behind Charon.
“Pass it on.”
In the province of Galleta.
“All the rats are deployed.”
* * *
“In other words, even if the same sword technique is used, the muscles trained are different depending on the family’s sword technique, so there is a difference here… … .”
Haam-.
Morning class time.
A yawn escaped me without my knowledge.
This is because I stayed up all night organizing the information.
It was important to recall the conversation I had with Charon, but more than that… … .
‘For the first time since entering the game, I have done something to change the future.’
Aren’t the actions I’ve done up until now also the same?
Not at all.
Welcoming Luna as a colleague, restoring Luthus’ honor, receiving an award, etc.
This was just a very minor thing.
‘Because this game is massive.’
The world is not so weak that it can be affected by the actions I have taken so far.
But the information I provided to Charon yesterday is different.
‘The future will change greatly.’
Knowing what will happen in this world.
That is my greatest strength and weapon.
In other words, if I change the future, it would be like losing my strengths.
but.
‘It’s not a bad business if you can weaken the enemy’s power.’
Destruction of the Galleta region.
This is the first reason why the empire went down the path of destruction.
A strategic point where all roads of the empire are connected.
If only the Galleta region had remained intact, half of future incidents would have been prevented.
‘Chimeras are also annoying creatures.’
A divine power that deals at least twice as much damage to ‘evil’-oriented enemies.
However, the chimera created by the Creator of Madness is not damaged by divine power.
They even go so far as to recover.
‘In the game, you had to carry a separate weapon that did not contain divine power.’
When attacking the Chimera, you had to use regular weapons, and when dealing with other monsters, you had to use weapons filled with divine power.
Since it takes 1 turn to change a weapon, the loss is enormous.
‘But what if we stop the chimera before it is created?’
You will be able to gain the upper hand in future fights.
‘The Four Heavenly Kings, and the 6th Corps Commander.’
Four warlocks who spread disaster even though they are humans.
And he is an archvillain who commands the devils and the 6th rank corps commander.
This is the final dark side of the game, and the enemy we must defeat.
‘You have to deal with it as much as possible before reaching the final boss.’
But it’s impossible for me, who is trapped in the academy.
That’s why I tipped off Charon.
以夷制夷 (以夷制夷).
It’s like defeating a crazy warlock with a murder tank.
‘Hehe, it’s me after all.’
I don’t know for sure how strong Charon is, but I know that he is strong enough to compete with the Four Heavenly Kings.
huh? And what if Charon dies?
‘It’s none of my business.’
The bad ending maker who strangled me.
What does it matter whether you die or not?
‘Well, actually, it’s safe to say there’s no chance of the two meeting each other.’
This is because the creator of madness has a very cautious personality.
If I send my subordinates, I will send them, but I will not come forward myself.
In the first place, Charon was tied to the Academy.
“Zero-kun.”
“… … .”
“Hey, you’re calling.”
Luna poked my side.
Oh, I was so focused that I didn’t even hear anyone calling.
The person who called me was teacher Lein de Fleur, who was in charge of the ‘Fundamentals of Swordsmanship’ class.
“I guess my class was boring. “I will impose one penalty point on you.”
“teacher! What a penalty point! That’s too much for just dozing off for a moment… … .”
“Miss Luna, do you also want to receive penalty points?”
“Yes, give it to me. “Not him.”
