The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 39



Only Krnovel

The soldier shouted save (39)

A night street with the moon rising.

Hundreds of people are seen walking towards somewhere with unfocused faces.

“What on earth is going on… … .”

He reaches out and stops one of the people.

But the feel was strange.

-Rustle.

My fingers dig into the man’s shoulder.

It feels like touching sand, not catching a flesh-and-bone person.

“……what?”

Starting from his shoulders, the man is scattered like powder and blown away by the wind, disappearing somewhere.

-damage.

Gray letters and a woman’s voice appeared before my eyes.

As I instinctively sharpened my senses, I heard rough footsteps behind me.

-Whew!

I throw myself at the sharp crack of the whip.

As I rolled on the floor and crouched down, I looked around and saw that the world had turned blue.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh… … .”

Hundreds of mortals whose skin turned blue as if covered in dye.

The sound of joints dislocating echoed all around, and the bizarre sight of the people’s arms stretching up to two meters made my hair stand on end.

‘Necromancer? No way, there’s one like that in Walker too… … .’

There was no time to think leisurely.

A sharp, flying whip arm.

The damage was endless.

-Whew! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The opponents are hundreds of lords swinging their arms like whips.

Even if you jump up like an animal to dodge the attack, the next enemy will immediately swing his whip arm to find a way out.

“Ugh, ugh!”

A shock that felt like my spine was going to break.

―… Le… S… Go.

I pulled out my sword and tried to cut off the flying arm, but with a bang, sparks flew as if it was hitting steel, and the sword bounced off.

‘Fuck… … .’

The only refuge is the roof of a four-story inn.

“Eu …

As I was climbing up the wall, sweat dripping down my face and I readjusted my grip on my sword, gray letters appeared once again.

-Ka…go…s…

“Huh, huh, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

At my words, the finger spirit that was floating in the sky stops before my eyes.

Car. Le… … .

A drawing of a character with a finger, rather than writing it.

-Bang!

When I saw the fourth letter, I struck off the arms of those who had crawled up close.

-Ka. Le. Go. Ka… … .

I started calculating, conjuring up images.

The first thing to do is to gather magic power and create coordinates.

After activation, recall the appearance and shout while emitting mana all at once.

“Cargo Castigo!”

Basic black magic written in the forbidden book.

As I recite the incantation for the mana control magic that Hye-rin had told me, black smoke comes out from the bodies of the spirits.

“Wow, woooooooooo!!”

The spirits lose the black smoke inside their bodies and scatter one by one like sand.

-No, no, water…

The finger spirit hovered before my eyes and created new letters, but I couldn’t understand them.

“… I don’t know what you’re saying, but I’ll remember it and not forget it.”

Perhaps only this soul knows the solution to this situation.

Since there is no place to write the text, he takes out his dagger and carves the text on his arm.

“Uh, uh… … .”

Croa’s dagger held in his bare hands.

The aftermath leaves you feeling nauseous, but the golden divine power heals your torn arm, leaving only a letter-shaped scar.

―…This way.

Do you even know what caused Yeongjimin to become like this?

I ran in the direction the spirit pointed, and new residents came rushing in through the gaps in the buildings and alleys, raising their long arms.

“Is this the right way?”

―… Right. This way. Quickly.

There is no point in fighting the blue-skinned lords with a sword, no matter how many there are.

“Cargo Castigo!”

Until all mana stacks are depleted.

Cast magic in succession, focusing only on running.

―…Here. Below.

“……under?”

Look down, following the finger pointing down.

A steel plate visible through a pile of dug up dirt.

If you put your finger under the plate and turn it over, you will see stairs leading down to the basement.

―… ㅃ ㅏ.ㄹ ㄹ.ㅣ…

Here, the soul is scattered along with a strange-sounding voice, as if power cannot be used.

‘It’s here.’

There are traces of human presence, with luminescent stones hanging from the ceiling and scraps of paper strewn about.

As I took each step forward with my five senses sharpened, I soon heard a strange breathing sound.

“Krrrrr. Krrrrr… … .”

Red eyes that glow even in the dark.

He properly holds his sword in the form of a werewolf, a two-legged wolf beast.

‘Is this the den of the warlock?’

The one who manipulated Kyle Walker and turned Walker’s people into monsters.

Perhaps, it seemed certain that this was the hideout of a high-level warlock.

“If you don’t want to fight, get out.”

When I spoke to the werewolf, its fur standing on end, with the tip of my sword flicking, it seemed to understand what I said and took a step back.

-Suddenly.

At that moment, a sound was heard from inside the basement.

The werewolf was startled by the sound and ran towards me with wide red eyes.

-Boom!

A sword that stabs without hesitation.

A long sword pierces the werewolf’s stomach and emerges through its back.

“Ugh, creaky!”

As if he still had some strength left, the bastard lifted both his arms and grabbed my shoulders.

The way I dig my fingernails into the flesh and push in the direction I came from.

‘I should have stabbed him in one blow.’

He pulls out the sword on his stomach and this time stabs him squarely in the heart.

“Ugh, krrrrr… … .”

His red eyes lose focus and he slides down against my body.

‘It’s smaller than a normal werewolf.’

-Boom!

Confirmed kill shot through the head.

After making sure that the bastard is completely dead, he steps over the corpse and heads inside.

‘It’s terrible.’

A pungent, bloody smell that stung my nose.

As you walk inside, past the bloodstains on the floor and the crow model rolling around at your feet, you come into view of a young man.

“… … Huh? What are you?”

A man tilts his head as if he is puzzled when looking at my face.

“No, I thought you were a knight, but you were a warlock?”

A man who seemed to know me smiled and pointed his finger at me and said.

“Misus.”

A black beam of light fired without any room to dodge.

“Ugh!”

He quickly retreats, holding his pierced stomach with his hand and hiding behind the wall.

“Wow, you reacted to that and avoided the vital point. What level are you in?”

When I look down at my stomach, I see a penetration wound the size of a finger.

-Tsk tsk.

Tear the outer garment with a sword.

He wraps his clothes around his stomach as skillfully as if he were on the battlefield, stopping the bleeding.

‘The passage is so narrow that there is no way out except straight ahead.’

Prick up your ears and try to locate the guy.

I couldn’t hear any footsteps, as if they weren’t trying to approach me while I was hiding.

“That’s strange. You went to the Soul Knight tree? There’s no way you’d go to the Entertainment tree in a world where your life is at stake… .”

A man speaking in a language that is difficult to understand.

I peeked out from behind the wall and saw the guy muttering with a worried look on his face.

“… … Oh, by any chance, you realized it too?”

A black sphere gathered on the palm of a man’s hand.

He looks at me with his face out and raises the corners of his mouth and shouts.

“Eruptio.”

A strangely expanding black sphere.

‘It’s dangerous.’

At the sight of an ominous figure, he leaps away from the wall and throws himself.

-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A black ray that completely melted the wall that had been covering it.

I tried to get up to deal with the bastard’s next move, but for some reason I couldn’t feel my legs.

“Oh, no… My lower body melted away. I’m sorry.”

She lowers her gaze to the man’s bland apology.

A body without legs.

“Of course I wouldn’t have noticed that, I overreacted.”

The pain of losing my leg came belatedly, but it wasn’t the first time I had experienced it.

‘… … If you’ve been through a lot, endure it, you damned body.’

I grit my teeth so I don’t lose my mind.

It’s too early to fall.

One more, with both arms on the floor.

As I searched for the next life, the shadow over my head grew.

“I need to test it, so I’ll give you back your legs first.”

A man opens the cap of a drug he picked up from a shelf.

-Gulp.

Black liquid dripping down my waist.

The flesh boils at the severed surface, and a pain as if my nerves are being torn off engulfs my whole body.

“Ugh, ugh!”

A lower lip bitten so hard that it bled.

-Brrrrr.

The body twists with an unpleasant sound, and flesh grows like a tree to form legs.

“As expected, the Darkness Plus Resistance works well. Let’s see where… If we start here, the data will be ruined… .”

In the moment the man turned his gaze to the shelf, an opportunity appeared.

Extend your right hand towards the man.

“hmm?”

The way he looks at my hand and tilts his head stupidly.

“Ignis!”

As he shouts the starting word towards him, a powerful flame shoots out from the ring and engulfs the man.

-Whooooow!

The red dragon’s flames melt not only the clothes but even the flesh of the bastard.

-Dalgrak.

I take my eyes off the bastard who was reduced to ashes and doesn’t even need a sure kill, and examine the leg that grew in the blink of an eye.

‘It’s beyond amazing, it’s scary. My melted lower body regenerated in just a few seconds… … .’

A black potion whose working principle is unclear.

As I was looking closely at the bottle of medicine that had fallen on the floor, I heard a voice that I shouldn’t have heard.

“Sigh, f*ck. All the data was burned. Man, this is really fucking frustrating.”

A man with the same appearance as before walks behind the bone fragments.

“How lucky are you to have such an epic ring?”

A man with his arms outstretched with an annoyed face.

“Wariantia.”

As the starting word is shouted, the man’s arms stretch out like tree trunks.

“Ugh!”

Tree trunks that are entangled like vines and bind my body.

“Ha, f*ck my data. Let’s go outside first.”

As the man frowns and raises his arm, the tree trunk connected to his arm begins to boil and stretch like crazy.

‘… … It’s a different dimension.’

Skills that make the palace warrior Jang Jin-woo look like a child.

The body, pushed by the tree trunk, is blown through the underground passage and out.

‘The terrain is better than underground.’

Outside, there are lots of places to run around in three dimensions.

When I see even a little bit of a way out, my body feels full of energy.

-Whoosh!

He swings his sword while twisting his waist with all his might.

A tree trunk that has been neatly cut off.

The strings that had been binding the body dispersed into smoke, and the body that had been in the air fell to the ground.

“Gasp, gasp… … .”

A body that has found freedom.

But my body didn’t move as well as I thought.

‘I’m slowly losing my senses.’

A leg that is slowly losing its shape, like the bark of a tree being torn off.

When you check the condition of your legs while squatting, you hear a voice of admiration.

“Wow, you’ve really grown up well. How many soul stacks do you have? Isn’t this enough for an entertainment job?”

She looks away from the relaxed man and rolls her eyes from side to side.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

The spirits of the people who were walking towards the man turned into black smoke.

Black smoke emanating from thousands of bodies swirls and is sucked into the man’s body.

“… … How many years has it really been? You finally did it again.”

The man smiles with a sense of accomplishment on his face, as if he doesn’t care about me.

Defenseless now.

‘In one blow!’

The wizard’s weakness is that he doesn’t give time to cast spells.

-widely!

With a body that leaps out like a spring, it dots the sky and draws a shower.

A blue trail following the white sword.

As I try to cut the man’s body with my own swordsmanship that took down Walter, the man raises the corners of his mouth and mutters.

“I will burn the soul of the first-class mercenary, Aizen.”

A faint spirit that emerged from a man’s body.

-Whoooosh!

The spirit body instantly bursts into flames and seeps into the man’s body.

-Boom!

The field of vision suddenly becomes red.

“Wow, wahahahaha! Crazy! Wow, f*ck. This is seriously crazy!”

Arms rolling on the floor.

Fading consciousness.

I think about this man who, unlike before, has no weaknesses at all.

‘… Would things have been different if Hye-rin was there?’

Blurring consciousness.

I think about him as I reminisce.

A mana stack that seems to have no limit.

Besides, the man’s movements were so fast that I didn’t even notice my arm being cut off.

‘Even if you fight with Hye-rin, your odds of winning aren’t high.’

Even if his body was burned, he would come back to life in an instant.

Although it was possible for a high-ranking warlock to operate multiple bodies, it could not be done without a price.

‘I need to find out where the source of power is.’

The first thing that came to mind was the strangely transformed Yeongji people.

He absorbed black magic from the blue-skinned Youngjimin.

If we can stop the changes in the people of Yeongji, we will see a solution.

‘How many days do you have free time?’

A fading consciousness.

When I was about to die without being able to finish my thoughts, the spirit of my finger appeared before my eyes.

The tips of the fingers drawing letters as if there was something they wanted to convey.

-again.

“……again?”

When I read the letters drawn by my soul without knowing it.

The soul of the finger pierced my head.

* * *

Blurred vision is slowly returning.

– Died from Noel’s attack. [Confirmed]

-Loaded from auto-save. [Confirm]

―Hint: Learn how to counter the spirit’s attacks. [Check]

Messages filled my eyes.

A thin, beautiful voice rings in my ears.

“I wish Allen would research black magic.”

Hye-rin, who is next to me, and the second daughter, who suggests investigating black magic.

“Of course, I know it’s not easy. It’s disobeying the imperial command, and also the doctrine of Freya… … .”

“I will accept it.”

“……yes?”

“Where can I investigate?”

“Ah, that, there are books related to black magic in the study… … .”

“Please guide me right now.”

The second daughter nodded to my words and went into the mansion and climbed the stairs.

“I have something to discuss with the guests, so everyone please step aside.”

The second daughter, after confirming that there is no one around, enters the study and points to the entrance to a secret study hidden by magic.

“This is the switch. Now that you know where it is, Hye-rin Kyung will be able to open and close it herself next time.”

“Okay, let’s start investigating right away.”

The second daughter stares at me intently at my words.

“… … Thank you, Allen. Meeting you is truly the luckiest thing in my life.”

Before I could answer, the second daughter, with her head bowed and her eyes reddened, left the study.

‘We also need to find out why the people of Yeongji have changed so much.’

Time left. What to do and in what order.

After briefly organizing my thoughts, I pulled out a few banned books from the bookshelf and piled them in my hands.

“If you’re going to investigate properly, shouldn’t you look at everything from the beginning?”

“Let’s check from the back.”

“why?”

“Because it seems like there’s nothing to salvage from the front.”

Hye-rin, who seemed taken aback by my words, sat down with a thud and opened the forbidden book.

“Other than that, look at this book first.”

“… … What is it? Hmm, it’s something to do with black magic?”

The soul letters of the fingers that I couldn’t understand.

As he began his new life, the scars on his arms disappeared, but he remembered the shape of the letters.

“Teach me black magic.”

If you can’t reject it, then just accept it completely.

More thoroughly than ever before.
