Chapter 238

Episode 238: Ers Plain

The residence of the Marquis of Arha.

In the middle of the night, someone secretly approached me.

Three beings put the soldiers on guard to sleep with magic and headed towards the Marquis’ office through the window.

As they entered through the wide open window, the Marquis of Arha spoke.

“Are you here?”

He welcomes you warmly.

An old wizard wearing a robe quietly bowed his head.

“See you, the Marquis.”

“I apologize for bothering you so much. “It is a matter that requires utmost secrecy.”

The wizard nodded and sat down on the sofa across from Marquis Arha.

“So, why did you call me here?”

A compliment given by a wizard to a marquis.

Normally, it wouldn’t be cool to chew him to death, but he deserved it.

He was a person who held a high position in the scorching magic tower of the faction under the huge school ‘Eye of Truth’.

“There is someone who needs to be killed.”

“Who is he?”

“Yukiel Agnes.”

The cold voice of the Marquis of Arha.

The old wizard heard him and narrowed his eyes.

‘If it’s Yukiel Agnes… … .’

The person who killed the magician of the Silver Magic Tower and annihilated the magic corps.

Although they are of different factions and classified as different magic towers, their root is the same Eye of Truth.

The decrease in the power of the Silver Magic Tower is equivalent to the decrease in the influence of the Eye of Truth.

“The opponent is a magician. “It also has a large army of undead.”

“I know. “No matter how much it costs, the noble faction will support it.”

“… … .”

“If you are undead, don’t worry. I’ve already finished talking to the two Black Towers. Approximately 10,000 undead will support you.”

“If we gather that many troops, won’t the opponent notice it?”

“We will disperse and gather. “The lords nearby have taken care of this in advance, so you don’t have to worry.”

The old wizard of the Burning Magic Tower was troubled.

Should I accept this offer or not?

The opponent is someone who has already defeated the Silver Magic Tower once.

No matter how much money it took to maintain the magic tower, the risk was too great.

“It’s too dangerous. “The risk is too big.”

“He will go to the Plains of Ers alone. “If he thinks about the dangers of that place now, he might end up destroying himself.”

“… … .”

“Even if we somehow manage to subdue them, we will have already exhausted a lot of our strength. “Wouldn’t it be possible to make a surprise attack in such a situation?”

The Ers Plain is currently bustling.

His judgment also makes sense if he is trying to subdue that place alone without any other forces.

No matter how strong you are, the total amount of energy you possess is limited.

“There are conditions.”

“condition?”

“The royal family’s monopoly on magic and magic requests for national and military projects must be made only through the eyes of truth.”

Marquis Arha frowned at the old wizard’s words.

Still, isn’t that too much to ask?

“That’s too much to ask.”

“The opponent has already killed the magic corps and two mages of the Silver Magic Tower. “Don’t you know how many high-quality personnel are involved in this operation?”

“… … .”

“Considering the risk, there needs to be that level of benefit to persuade the elders. “The mage may die like before.”

The Marquis of Arha remained silent.

To him, it only sounded like a cruel death.

The board has already been laid, but is it really possible to go that far?

It was just a move to take advantage of this opportunity to get more out of it.

“Tsk, just do one of the two. “Is it a national project or a military project?”

“The elders… … .”

“The board has already been laid. “Wouldn’t it be enough to have either the royal family’s monopoly or the military monopoly?”

stubborn will.

The old wizard nodded as if he had expected that too.

“I will do it as a military project.”

“However, there is a condition here too.”

“… … ?”

“We must move not only at the level of the Burning Magic Tower, but also at the level of the Eye of Truth School. “Don’t fail.”

“I will tell this to the elders.”

With those words, the wizards slowly disappeared.

In response, the Marquis of Arha clenched his fists tightly.

“That road will be the road to the underworld.”

I spent a lot of money and suffered a huge loss, but there is nothing I can do about it.

His presence gave strength to the king’s remarks.

If you are a scarecrow, you have to stay in place like a scarecrow.

If the scarecrow tries to move on its own, you must break and cut off its arms and legs.

That’s how it has value as a scarecrow.

* * *

Chuck, Chuck-

A large army of undead moving forward.

All the undead stationed in the Barony were summoned, and even the troops working on the trade route were gathered together.

The children and blood demons who worked on the trade route were each given leave and instructed to spend their leisure time.

Now, quite some time has passed since I left the royal capital.

Yukiel had already arrived at the Ers Plain in question.

Knock, blink… … .

The feeling of a foreign body sticking to me every time I take a step.

The vast territory turned into a black swamp and grabbed my ankles.

The sticky black swamp was swarming with numerous poisonous insects, and small monsters took up residence at the bottom of the swamp and preyed on creatures that entered their territory.

“Ugh~! Master! “It’s the absolute worst!?”

“I know.”

I think I understand why restoration was difficult.

The black swamp was already up to the knees of the undead.

In such an environment, an enormous amount of stamina would be consumed to advance, and most soldiers would be retired without even fighting due to the poisonous insects.

‘Well, it’s a meaningless story to me.’

There are no obstacles such as swamps.

There’s no way the undead have stamina.

Poisonous insects also have no meaning.

There’s no way the skeleton has flesh that is soaked with poison.

Poisons may accumulate in bones, but they do not add significant variables to combat.

Unless it is so acidic that it can melt even rocks at once.

Hehehe!

Kekekeek!

Monster screams heard from everywhere.

As soon as the undead army felt movement in the swamp, the undead army advanced, killing monsters with swords and spears.

The pure combat power of the monster hiding in the swamp was not that strong.

Except that it’s not easy to kill because it’s in a swamp.

If he had been an ordinary soldier, he would have made a lot of sacrifices by having his calves and thighs eaten off.

“But, shall we move as Master thinks? “You can just watch.”

“No, we are not fools who would miss such a good opportunity.”

It will move one way or another.

This is not simply because of a grudge relationship, but because of a political relationship.

The king’s changing attitude and his gradually increasing influence within the palace.

If you conquer the Ers Plain alone and return safely, your position and influence in the palace will rise dramatically.

I don’t know if he’s a member of the noble faction, but if he’s a defeated opponent, he’ll try to kill him at all costs.

“Then shouldn’t we be doing reconnaissance or something? Why are there flying skeletons or something?”

“If you do that, you will intimidate your opponent. “We need to make a surprise attack, but it would be difficult if they found out.”

“Then you don’t know whether the enemies have come or not?”

“If this side doesn’t know, the other side can move quickly with confidence. “If they show any signs of us, they won’t attack easily.”

You have to act as if you are subduing with as much difficulty as possible.

All you have to do is pretend that the skeleton has disappeared and secretly store it in the Undead Dimension.

If you think about distributing experience points, you can put the secondary evolved ones first.

As Yukiel was racking his brain and coming up with a plan, Merniar pointed to the sky with his cute hand.

『Contractor, can you see it?』

“okay.”

“this place… … . This is not an ordinary place.』

I felt it from the beginning.

This is not a typical gate phenomenon.

A huge amount of energy is concentrated and cannot be circulated outside.

A phenomenon in which some strong force distorts the path of mana.

And, that intense power certainly seemed to be a dimensional power of absurd magnitude.

『Contractor, can’t this body absorb that huge dimensional power?』

“Normally it’s impossible. “Unless it goes through a core with dense dimensional power.”

『Then why not just find the core?』

“The core is probably a gate, but if you do something wrong, you could end up lost in another dimension.”

『Keu… … . I think I can take quite a bit of power!』

“Well, there has to be a way. “How to absorb dimensional power when destroying a gate.”

『Is it possible?』

“You can take some, if not all.”

Well, it is beneficial in many ways.

You can gain a large amount of experience and increase Merniar’s power.

It was a time when we were marching with a large army of undead, laughing.

Purge, purr… … .

A black swamp with foam.

Numerous bones were floating above it, giving an estimate of the number of victims.

Although it was something that made one close one’s eyes tightly at the miserable sight, Yukiel smiled happily.

“What is all this? “Isn’t it a free bone?”

It was applied very cleanly.

When you see the bones shining brightly.

“March, collecting bones! “Rake out every bone from the front lines!”

A material that you don’t want to throw away.

Yukiel moved forward, collecting the numerous bones floating in the black swamp one by one.

How far did you walk after entering the black swamp?

-Quest ‘Twisted Space’ has been added.

[Twisted space]

The texture of various dimensions is twisted and twisted, accumulating large-scale dimensional forces.

Release a large amount of dimensional power that is about to explode before the dimensional cracks open and disaster occurs.

Condition: Disappearance of the main gate or destruction of its underlying core.

Reward: Stat point +2, system point +3, achievement ‘Twisted Solver’ acquired.

Yukiel, who confirmed the quest, froze.

‘what?’

A quest after a long time.

It was my first time seeing this quest in a while, so I was quite happy to see it.

However, what was more surprising than that was the reward.

‘2 stat points?’

In addition, there are three system points.

Has there been this level of reward in your past life?

Among single quests, this is the best reward ever.

Stats and system points are not easily given through quests, and they are given in such large amounts.

A smile slowly appeared on Yukiel’s frozen lips.

“Merniar, I think it’s possible.”

『What do you mean?』

“That incredible dimensional power. “I think you can absorb it.”

“really? How did you say that!?』

“A new direction has been presented.”

『Then what are you doing!? Hurry up and stop giving this body that delicious food!!”

Leaving behind Merniar, who was excitedly pulling Yukiel’s hair, I felt a slight tremor from afar.

When I raised my head and looked into the distance, I saw something black rushing in there.

Drudddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd… … .

The water level in the black swamp rose further.

The water level in the swamp, which was up to my knees, soon rose to my waist.

Well, up to this point it is acceptable.

In fact, it is better for hiding the undead.

“S-Master!”

“… … .”

After the current of the black swamp rushed in, a large number of monsters, which at first glance appeared to number more than a thousand, approached, swimming freely in the black swamp.

Purple drool was flowing as if it had found delicious prey.

‘These guys… … . different.’

Is it the effect of dimensional power?

Its presence is not that of an ordinary monster.

Did the aristocratic bastards know this and were so reluctant to join the punitive force?

It may be a bit surprising, but it means that stronger enemies give more experience points.

If you are strong, just subdue them as you are strong.

“Well, welcome. “My experience points.”
