The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 42



Only Krnovel

The soldier shouted save (42)

The chieftain puts his hand on my head.

Then, a green light enveloped my body and letters suddenly appeared, blocking my vision.

[Achieved great achievement. pt+1500]

[Guardian of the World Tree: Magic Control +30%, Holy Resistance +40%]

“This is my way of giving back to you. Do you like it?”

I couldn’t express in words how much I liked it.

‘… It’s okay.’

It was amazing.

Of course, the mana that had to be forcibly squeezed out can now move freely.

I locked the mana deep inside my body, so I didn’t feel any nausea at all even though Croa was nearby.

If I had this, would I be able to live without being discovered as a necromancer?

“Don’t druids hate warlocks?”

“That was before Walker’s previous lord saved the Forest of Spirits. And Noel and Lee Hyeonseong, who came after him, also had good hearts.”

Noel and Lee Hyun-seong.

There were many things I wanted to ask the chieftain who had lived for many years, but I had no time to waste.

‘He’ll notice Croa’s here soon.’

Korean black magician Choi Sang-jin.

Now that the fight with him was imminent, the first thing I had to ask the chief was this.

“Before Noel’s spirit fought against Choi Sang-jin, he gave me this book and told me to learn the magic written in it.”

A book handed down by Noel’s spirit in a world filled with darkness.

When I tried to show him the book that neither I nor Hye-rin could understand even after reading it, the chief refused to accept it.

“This isn’t something you learn by reading with your eyes.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Lee Hyun-seong used to call it that. Skillbook.”

Could this be related to the ‘skill’ that Hye-rin explained before?

Even if I try to think of the meaning myself, I can’t get a feel for it.

“… … Skill book.”

As I unknowingly followed the chief’s words, the book began to shake like a living creature.

[This is a ‘skill’ that was untrained.]

[Would you like to reacquire Noel’s skill, ‘Secret Art: Soul Burning’?]

An unfamiliar word.

If you don’t know with my knowledge, you can just remember it until you can ask Hye-rin.

‘Skill Book, Untrain.’

I repeat two unfamiliar terms in my head, relating them to the current situation.

A trick that came about while trying to memorize the vast amount of information about the Imperial Guild.

When I quickly memorized a short passage, new letters suddenly appeared and covered the old ones.

[Skill set to ‘Notification’.]

[Acquired ‘Secret Art: Soul Burning’.]

Whether he had accepted it on his own or not, the book he was holding turned into black mud and was absorbed into his body.

‘… …Is this how you use it?’

A usage method that is somehow understandable even though you have never experienced it before.

I tried to focus my mana along the memories flowing into my head, but the magical power did not gather and just scattered without strength.

[You do not have enough ability points for the skill.]

‘I guess you’re saying that I lack the ability to use this magic.’

It’s a type of magic, so it would have to do with runes, knowledge, and calculations.

Besides, it required enlightenment, and was not a problem that could be solved simply by repeating death.

With this level of advanced training, it may or may not be worth investing your entire life in receiving direct instruction from the master.

“How was it? Was it helpful?”

Whatever the outcome, I bowed my head in gratitude to the Druid Chieftain for solving both the problem of the unidentified book and the problem of divine power.

“I will not forget this favor.”

“No. I guess it would be more correct to say that I repaid the favor.”

The chief speaks with a smile like that of a country boy.

“Marie Walker said so. She said that the Forest of Spirits was saved entirely thanks to you.”

The chieftain stretches his arms forward and speaks.

“I also consider you a close friend.”

The chief nods at his own arm.

When I rubbed my arms with the chieftain to get a feel for the atmosphere, the chieftain turned his back with a smiling face.

“Let’s try to save Walker together.”

The back of the chieftain gives off a sense of solidity.

As I was about to head towards Croa in the distance with my body that could withstand divine power, the green light on one side of my vision changed to yellow.

[Party member ‘Hye-rin’ has become ‘Away from seat’.]

A signal that the black magician Choi Sang-jin has made a move.

“Let’s go! Get ready to go!”

I moved my legs toward the carriage that the second daughter had prepared.

* * *

Outside of Walker’s city.

As I was returning the groom nearby and heading to the agreed upon place, I came into sight of Hye-rin with a stern face.

“Sir, look over there.”

A black tree trunk that reveals its presence by piercing through the dirt floor.

He touches Hye-rin’s arm and says, “It looks strange, like a giant snake moving and digging through the ground.”

“Try using a vision enhancement spell.”

“…Oculus.”

When Hye-rin shouted the starting word, distant objects seemed to appear before her eyes.

A field of vision that spins around with just the slightest eye movement.

I carefully rolled my eyes left and right to examine the guy, and something tangled in the tree trunk caught my eye.

‘What are you doing?’

The thing attached to the tree trunk is the medium that the guy planted in the ground.

What he was doing was sending a tree trunk into the ground to retrieve his medium.

-Brrrrr.

A model of a crow that turns into black mud and gets sucked into a tree trunk.

A chill ran down the back of my neck as I realized what the bastard had been doing secretly.

“It wasn’t that they made fun of us and left us alone… … .”

“…Huh? What do you mean?”

“Just as we were wary of him, he also tried to avoid being caught in his actions.”

The only person in Walker who can threaten you is yourself.

“If we feel threatened, we might call Croa. … That’s why we prepared to activate the ritual of the entire territory simultaneously.”

Croa had been diligently scouring the Walker area to find a suitable site for building a church.

An overwhelming presence that seems to burn the warlock’s skin even from a distance.

The fact that someone who was wary of Croa like that would make a move that would be obvious…

‘I guess that means the preparations are almost finished.’

I said to Hye-rin.

“Quick, burn the wood!”

Hyelin immediately spreads her legs shoulder-width apart, extends her hands, and shouts.

“Ignis!”

As I gained knowledge of magic, I was able to see how amazing Hye-rin was.

Even the palace wizard would have taken over 6 seconds to cast the spell, but he did it with just one word, without calculating the elemental coordinates.

-Kwaaaaang!

A huge fireball rises into the sky and falls in a parabolic arc onto the trees.

Ashes rising with a loud explosion.

When Hye-rin’s magic turned all the tree trunks into black ash, a human figure appeared.

“… … .”

Choi Sang-jin with a stern expression among the rising ashes.

As the man mutters something, the flames die down.

-Whewww.

Was it a magic spell that called rain?

A torrential downpour that instantly settles the ashes.

“Prokella!”

Hye-rin creates a storm to counter his magic.

-Wheww!

A body that sways as if it were about to be tossed about by a strong storm.

He mutters something while unable to even open his eyes properly and unable to complete the calculation of the absolute elemental coordinates.

“Keep on the check!”

Even though he was being hit by the storm, he was focused on something.

In that case, I can break the bastard’s concentration with Hye-rin’s additional magic and then run over and cut off his head myself.

I thought so and kicked the floor.

-Whoosh!

Something passed me by.

“……uh?”

An arrow stuck in Hye-rin’s chest.

I couldn’t believe the sight of Hye-rin losing focus and falling down.

‘… That’s ridiculous.’

It was impossible.

Snipe Hye-rin in a storm that feels like your body is going to fly away.

It would have been impossible for anyone other than a first-class archer who had dedicated his life to archery.

“Wow, wahahahaha! This is ridiculous!”

Did you use teleportation?

A voice heard right next to me.

-Whoosh!

As I swing my sword with all my might at the guy who approaches me at close range, the guy holding the dagger disappears with an afterimage.

-Boom!

Reddened vision.

Realizing the situation too late.

The one who crossed his daggers and easily deflected my sword cut off my chest.

“What? Is it enough to just absorb the medium?”

The sight of a man carrying a bow on his back and a dagger makes me feel despair.

‘… … Really, you shot that arrow?’

I thought that if we could just block the bastard’s medium, we would have a good chance of winning.

However, the opponent was at the peak of his prowess in not only swordsmanship, dagger fighting, and black magic, but even archery.

‘How can I deal with this guy… … .’

My vision became completely dark.

* * *

– Died from Choi Sang-jin’s attack. [Confirmed]

-Loaded from auto-save. [Confirm]

―Hint: Check the recommended level required for the strategy. [Check]

Life begins again.

There was only one way to deal with the strongest man I had ever seen.

‘Let’s check again properly.’

Accumulating more information through death.

“I wish Allen would research black magic.”

As before, he accepts the second daughter’s request and becomes lost in thought.

‘…Can that guy handle more than three weapons?’

Swordsmanship and dagger skills that rival those of the Knight Commander of the Imperial Palace.

Black magic was a given, and archery was also at its peak, allowing long-range sniping even in a storm.

‘Think about it. How is this possible?’

Blocking the medium is a prerequisite.

Move faster than in your last life and change the situation for the better.

“I also consider you a close friend.”

First of all, build trust with the Druid Chieftain.

“Brother!”

He quickly called Croa,

“How dare you! Trying to imprison this Galeod!”

We quickly dealt with Galeod and the intermediary in the mansion so that the warlock would not be able to detect our movements.

“… You’re a black magician, but you’re good with a bow, and your swordsmanship and dagger skills are better than yours?”

If it’s Hye-rin, wouldn’t she know something?

Let me tell you about the great skills of a guy I’ve seen in two lives.

“That can’t be possible… Even if you reach max level, there won’t be enough jobs to change to?”

Even though I repeatedly asked her to explain it in easy terms, Hye-rin shook her head in disbelief, saying that it was impossible.

“Do you know about Untrain and Skillbook?”

“Untraining is forcibly removing the skills you have. Skill books allow you to immediately gain experience and skills by consuming the books.”

After that, I even asked Noel about his secret technique.

“… … Hmm, this is the first time I’ve heard of such a skill.”

Hyelin shook her head as if she didn’t know.

‘… …Noel is the only one who knows everything.’

Neither Hyelin nor the Druid Chieftain knew the secret of the man who could handle all three weapons so well.

Then the only person left is Noel, who is said to be Lee Hyun-seong’s teacher.

“animus.”

I tried everything I could to try to communicate with Noel, who I could feel a faint presence, but he wouldn’t even reveal himself with a finger.

‘Why?’

I saw it in my last life, but it was strange that I couldn’t see it in this life.

Could there be a reason why Noel couldn’t appear during the quick movement?

“At this rate, we should be able to purify more than half of the territory at once. It’s all thanks to Croa.”

Eris’s assurance that most of the bastard’s mediums can be nullified.

“We’ll start purification as soon as Allen departs.”

I raided Choi Sang-jin’s lair at the same time that the Freya cult began its purification.

-bang!

The bastard’s base is revealed when you turn over the iron plate buried in the dirt.

As I walked down the stairs and reached the end of the hallway, I saw Choi Sang-jin biting his thumb.

“… Damn, how did you know everything at once… .”

A guy looking anxious as he looks at the black mud he created on his hand.

‘stop.’

I stop Hye-rin, who was following me, and quietly draw my sword.

“… … .”

A stealthy step that muffles the sound of footsteps.

As I approached the bastard’s back, aiming the tip of my sword, the bastard flinched and swung his hand.

“Misus!”

A black beam of light fired from the bastard’s index finger.

He twists his body to avoid the light that pierces his body like an arrow, and stabs his heart.

-Boom!

The body of a man falling down helplessly.

But the bastard’s voice came from somewhere else, not from the dead body.

“… … Those damn guys.”

A new body appears without warning near the corpse.

I immediately turned around and tried to cut off the bastard’s head.

“…I will burn the soul of the second-class wandering knight, Regen Howard.”

With a single word, his gaze changed and he easily dodged my sword.

“Fuck, get out.”

A unique movement I’ve never seen before.

He quickly grabs the sword that was leaning against the bookshelf and swings it at me.

-Whoosh!

An attack that causes no damage.

‘Damn, I should have thought from the beginning that I had the Commander of the Knights right in front of me…’

I could have fought back, but I was overcome by the bastard’s discomfort.

Because in just a few seconds, the body of the guy who had been ignorant of the sword moved like a knight who had awakened the ultimate swordsmanship.

‘… … The hand holding the sword is different than last time.’

A sword held with the left hand, different from the first one.

“Oh, mister!!”

As I pressed my hand against the wound from the sword while listening to Hye-rin’s crying voice, the bastard muttered something meaningful.

“… …Why did Aizen and Rahil’s souls disappear?”

Aizen. The first name I’ve heard.

“… … There’s no way I didn’t notice that my soul was gone by now.”

The look of a confused guy.

The thoughts that had been frozen in that sight spread out like tree branches.

‘This guy said that at first too.’

Burn the soul of 1st class mercenary Aizen.

The first time we fought, he clearly said that.

‘… … What if the soul that was burned has not returned?’

I have never heard of a soul named Rahil.

But if the burning of Aizen’s soul in the first life and the burning of Rahil’s soul in the second life have continued until now, a new conclusion is reached.

‘… … The soul that bastard burned did not return even through the save.’
