67. Fortress Polwyn (complete)

I was waiting for the ice block to crack with Sierra.

Sierra, who was next to her, clicked her tongue and shook her head.

I remember the conversation I had with her when I came here.

[You want to resurrect a lich…? ]

‘I really want to cut off the roots.’

Sierra had great doubts, but did not use physical force on me.

No mention was made of a complete resurrection.

While listening to the conversation between Buckland and me, Sierra had muttered something like [My student has gone out of his mind…].

It’s been like that ever since.

—-Break! damn!!

Gradually the ice cubes break apart.

At the same time, Sierra looks at me with serious eyes and opens her mouth.

[I’m sure you haven’t forgotten the oath you made with the original girl. ]

“This will not cause me to leave Master.”

While having such a conversation with Sierra, the block of ice completely cracked, and a skeleton stood in the center.

Before long, a blue light flickers around his empty eyes.

ㅡKung!

When I hit the staff he was holding once, black flames sprouted around him.

Ice cubes begin to melt due to the heat emitted by the black flame.

“…”

The guy walks around and looks at the sky without saying a word.

Could it be that he has fallen into a deep appreciation for the North, which he has seen for the first time in decades.

It obviously had no eyes, but it seemed that they were just closed.

“Resurrection… Yes, it’s resurrection. It’s very unpleasant to feel even the slightest bit of demonic energy!”

Every time his mouth was opened, cold breath spewed out.

Sooner or later he finds me.

“Did you resurrect me?”

“…”

I straightened my posture without a word.

As expected, the jewelry on his forehead had no gold and was intact.

But it wasn’t the mood to smile.

In this way, it was supposed to increase the regeneration of the lich.

“Hmm… I can’t figure out what the situation is. Ah, there’s a corpse that’s still warm. I’ll have to listen to it.”

After saying that, he tapped the floor lightly with his staff.

Then Buckland’s corpse, which was in close proximity, stood up.

Buckland’s torso clattered and his joints moved bizarrely before standing up from his seat.

Soon, the torso fumbles on the floor, searching for its own head that has fallen.

After finding the head, the torso tucks the head into its own neck.

Then, through a bizarre process, the ‘completed’ Buckland vomits blood.

“Kuhheh—-!! What, what’s going on…! I’m sure…”

Buckland’s hurried eyes put me in it.

He points at me and opens his mouth.

“You… you bastard…!!!”

ㅡSuddenly.

Buckland’s head, which had been swearing, rises in the air again.

“Oops…”

Richie shakes his head with a sad voice.

“I understand the situation roughly, so it’s okay. It seems that you didn’t resurrect me… Well, even if you did, you would have killed me on the spot. It’s been a while since I woke up, so I have a lot of questions.”

Richie was also very talkative.

I was silent, but he continued talking.

“But why are you covering your eyes with a bandage? Aah… I understand. A blind man… A blind swordsman. No, you seem to have come from far away, so should I call you a blind swordsman? You have many characteristics? Charming. “He’s the guy I want to join my army…”

The lich muttered such a thing, and then his bony hand was raised from the bottom up.

“My loyal soldiers who have been waiting for me foolishly in this cold snowy mountain… Get up now.”

Guided by his hand, soldiers in armor dig up the snow all over the snowy mountains and begin to rise.

The guy was good at necromancy.

ㅡ Kwadeuk!

ㅡPoo-wook!

A blue light is engraved in the eyes of the skeleton soldiers who dig their eyes and raise their bodies from the ground.

The battle must have already begun.

This was the first pattern.

The lich will now raise five elite skeleton soldiers and explain their characteristics one by one.

“The first is a guy named Alghoul. This guy is the first guy I hired as a soldier…”

I lightly passed over his murmur and ran through the sword body.

Reverse Heaven Chapter 1.

The skeletons were not moving because there was no specific order, so their weakness was clearly visible.

Soon after, I approached him and calmly swung my sword down five times.

“For the third time…”

As if he didn’t even care about me, he continued to introduce his soldiers.

Unfortunately, the guy’s kind explanation didn’t go through to the end.

ㅡQuad Deukㅡ!!

ㅡQuad Deukㅡ!!

Immediately, the sound of the bones of five elite skeleton soldiers being torn can be heard.

If I had given an order to rush at me before explaining, the skeletons would have been able to move even one step.

Unfortunately, he didn’t.

“What… Where did you learn the swordsmanship? Even twisting the flow of mana… Are you saying you’re still a living human…?”

Richie is deeply troubled by the sudden situation.

“That’s something I don’t want to hear from Richie.”

Still, my steps did not stop.

Richie glanced at me like that and pointed the staff at me.

“Looks like it’s too much for the soldiers alone to deal with you.”

Soon, a magic circle is formed at the end of the staff.

And then Rich opens his mouth without fail.

“It’s a living curse. It’s a unique magic that chases the opponent as soon as you avoid it. If you brush your skin even a little, your whole body will burn.

Before long, innumerable black flames come out of his magic circle and fly towards me.

‘Is it the second pattern?’

So far, the rich and the pattern in the game matched.

However, the number of fireworks was much greater.

Still, this magic also showed its weakness.

ㅡHurt!

ㅡ Hwareuk!

I didn’t stop my steps and walked forward, splitting the sparks flying at me.

“You bastard… what is your true identity…?”

When all the black flames were slashed with a single knife, the lich panicked.

However, the distance with him had already been sufficiently narrowed.

I breathed mana into the necklace.

Subsequently, light begins to permeate the urethra ‘Sierra’.

“……”

The guy who watched this scene couldn’t open his mouth anymore.

It seemed that he realized what the light that was radiating from my sword meant.

‘2 minutes and 57 seconds.’

I started running while counting the necklace’s time limit in my mind.

‘It’s over in 3 minutes.’

As he swung his staff, sharp, large bones rose from the floor in that direction and charged at me.

I pumped mana into my legs and leaped high.

Even while floating in the air, he did not forget to skim his sword body.

“You fool! How are you going to avoid it in the air!!”

As if he was aiming for me to leap, he swung his staff at me as the huge bone rose into the air again.

‘One second.’

ㅡWow.

suddenly deafening

This is because even the surrounding sounds that should be heard have slowed down.

The bones that had sprung up towards me also slowed down noticeably and seemed to stop moving.

However, my body defies the flow of time and naturally falls under the influence of gravity.

The bone was aiming for where I was, so it passed without reaching it.

Then I fall on top of him.

[Your application skills are quite good. ]

Sierra’s voice echoed in his head.

Then, he struck the lich below with precision with the urethra he was holding in reverse…

…the long second is over.

ㅡ Chae-aeeng!!!

However, the sword is blocked by his invisible barrier.

‘Because it’s cunning.’

The guy had just put the barrier on.

Although he talked a lot, he was a cautious guy.

However, from the moment he activated the ‘necklace containing the protection of the warrior’, his barrier was immediately shattered because it was a slash that was converted into a light attribute that was compatible with his black magic rather than a normal physical attack.

“What nonsense…”

The lich muttered as he cast the breaking barrier again.

There was a hint of bewilderment in his voice.

Then, when he saw him snapping his fingers, he immediately kicked the barrier and distanced himself from him.

ㅡ Kwadeuk!!

Soon, a barbed iron mass instantly formed near him and swallowed him whole.

‘Iron Maiden…’

Originally, it was supposed to be an attack that inflicted damage on himself, but since he is a lich, he seems to be able to use it without penalty.

It’s annoying that close combat is annoying…

…is it because it’s rich?

Unlike the previous skeleton, there were no weaknesses in the body he had just checked up close.

‘2 minutes and 30 seconds…’

Time continued to pass.

I was worried about destroying Iron Maiden’s weakness with one piece, but I was still relaxed.

ㅡCheolkyung!

Shortly thereafter, the Iron Maiden opens, revealing its figure.

“I don’t want to use the damn demon’s power… but I guess I have no choice but to use it to deal with you…”

After those words, black aura begins to flow from Richie’s body.

Evil mana used by demons.

It was Magi.

Soon after, he throws the staff into the snow and spreads his arms.

Gradually, demonic energy begins to gather around the palm of his hand.

‘The attack didn’t work, so I went straight to the last pattern.’

Terrain collapse will happen soon.

The ground vibrates as he lowers the palm he was holding.

ㅡKoo-gu-gu-gung!!

The ground slowly cracked in front of him, and soon the ground began to flow like a liquid and rose into the air.

ㅡQuad Deed Deuk!!!

So was the ground I was stepping on.

‘Two minutes and ten seconds.’

In an instant, I was floating in the air as a lump of land, and I began to swipe down the sword body while maintaining my balance.

Then, a huge magic circle formed behind the guy seen below.

Despite the distance, I was able to pick up his murmurs thanks to my ‘excellent sense’.

“Rise up, death.”

Just in time, I swiped all the blades and immediately cast two.

Countless black spheres were spewing out from its magic circle.

The sphere was quite fast even considering the slowdown of time.

I quickly stepped on the chunks of land that floated in the air and fell down.

He jumped between the land masses, dodging the spheres, but he didn’t forget to head down.

’58 seconds.’

It was the time that still remained after I stepped on the ground.

I immediately jumped at the lich and cut through the defenseless body.

The barrier was still guarding the body, but it tried to split him with the barrier’s weak point.

—-By the way-!!

When the barrier is cracked, the barrier is broken at the same time.

And ‘Sierra’, which emits light, touches the exposed body.

I couldn’t see any weakness, but a single slash shattered his bones.

However, despite the slow flow of time, the ‘jewel’ embedded in his forehead quickly regenerates his bones.

It was an incredible regenerative power.

Shocked by my slash, Richie’s body floats slightly in the air.

Without stopping, he let go of his sword and continued his next move.

An innumerable series of blows fired at the one floating in the air.

Naturally, his body, his regenerative power, couldn’t withstand a series of attacks.

It was the power of the necklace.

Since it was a protection, it should be seen as a deteriorated version of the hero’s original power, but it was enough to kill the lich.

Eventually, its regenerative powers noticeably slowed down, and when I could see its bones splitting and crushing, I finished Chapter 2.

Immediately, a heavy ping-gong sound lingered in my ears.

ㅡKwagwagwagwang!!!

At the same time, the shock continues, and the body of the lich, which has risen in the air, is thrown here and there.

Soon, the bones of the bastard, who had barely maintained their shape, fell to the floor and crashed into pieces.

ㅡPasasasak.

Only the head and neck of the lychee dropped to the floor remained.

I slowly approached the lich, who had only his head left.

“Why… I was the one who attacked… Why…?”

Richie was in doubt.

I didn’t feel the need to address the question.

“You should give up now. You have to struggle to maintain your shape…”

Originally, it was an attack that deserved even its head to be powdered, but it was desperately maintaining its shape with the power of ‘jewel’.

Hearing what I said, Rich laughed dejectedly.

“Keuheulheul… You don’t know why Aisin froze me?”

“…why?”

A magic circle was drawn on the floor where the guy who had said something rather meaningful was.

I asked again, but in fact, it was information I had already found out while talking with the old man.

“I’m dedicating my body to annihilate this area. Isn’t it funny? You can’t see even though you have eyes, and even though I don’t have eyes, I can see Polwyn over there. I will use my tears as fuel and swallow Fallwyn… Ha ha…! Ha ha ha ha!!”

He looked at Fallwyn and laughed madly.

self-destruct magic.

As Lich said, the jewel embedded in his forehead, ‘tears of the dead’, is a kind of energy source with enormous vitality.

It’s a source of power that allows him to be a lich.

As Lich said, if you use the tears of the dead as fuel, there will be an explosion that can swallow even Fallwyn.

“There seems to be no way to stop this explosion… innocent people will die because of you alone. How do you feel?”

I didn’t respond to Richie’s sarcasm, and inserted my urethra into the red circle that was visible in the magic circle.

ㅡPoo-wook.

The magic circle whose weakness is touched does not form, but cracks and then disappears.

Soon after, I calmly leaned against the mass of land that had risen next to the lich.

Speaking of self-destruct magic, if you want to explode the jewels together, you can’t even squeeze the magic with a very elaborate structure… He was impatient as there was not much time left.

That’s why it was so crude magic.

A bit of time passed, and then, as if Rich noticed, he opened his mouth with a creak.

“……What did you do?”

“…What?”

“……”

Realizing that the self-destruct magic was gone, the lich was speechless and speechless.

Soon, the blue light in his eyes slowly faded.

Eventually, the guy gave up.

Rich is dead.

Sierra sneaks up on me as I lean against a lump of earth.

Then she strokes my cheek.

[Even though it was hard to buy… but it was hard. ]

“A little tired… Kheup, that’s about it.”

Without replying to Sierra, a small amount of blood gushed out of his mouth.

‘Did I slightly exceed the time earlier?’

From the head of the lich on the floor, the teardrop-shaped jewel embedded near the forehead is put into his eyes.

tears of the dead.

Unlike the ‘incomplete tear pieces of the dead’ seen in the game, it was maintained intact without a single gold.

It had to be seen as the source of its power, so it was correct to think that it would definitely be intact if it went through a complete resurrection.

‘I’ll have to take care of it before people come.’

He leaned down slightly and placed his hand on the jewel embedded in his forehead.

The jewel clicked and was easily pulled out.

[Looking at the energy you feel, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary gem…but you seem to know what it is. ]

Sierra didn’t seem to know what the dead man’s tears were.

It was not an item that could be easily seen.

‘Tears of the Dead’ is a jewel with enormous vitality.

The amazing regenerative power that the lich showed was also the effect of this jewel.

Unfortunately, regeneration was an effect that only applied to the ‘undead’.

Fortunately, even if they were not undead, other effects could be seen.

Originally, the effect of ‘Tears of the Incomplete Dead’, which was supposed to be received as a reward, was a one-time item that restored all physical strength when the physical strength fell below 20%.

Of course, the effect of ‘tears of the dead’ is further upgraded there.

Even if you die, you can only reach ‘resurrection’ once.

In the game, you can save and load, so even if you die, you don’t really die.

However, the story was different in the current situation when the game became a reality.

The so-called ‘one coin’ was very important to me now.

It was all for a good ending.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Power enters the hand that was holding the jewel.

Then, in my field of vision, the snowy mountains that were rioted in the aftermath of the battle were captured in my eyes.

I think I was able to do things like this because my growth was fast in the first place.

If it wasn’t for this, I don’t think I would have even thought about a complete resurrection.

‘I think I’ll have to embed jewels into my body or make them into accessories… Are accessories dangerous…?’

Since the tears of the dead are made in a similar way to bloodstone, they had to be regarded as a ‘dangerous item’.

Why did this lich carry such a thing?

I didn’t know until there.

I don’t know if the lich made it or the demon gave it to me, but now it’s in my hands.

Maybe I should visit the blacksmith ‘Dedros’ who made me the sword ‘Sierra’.

I immediately put the jewel in my bosom and leaned back comfortably on the ground.

Then I checked the status window.

Because I felt that my level had risen.

It seemed like there was a lot of power in the body… It went up 6 levels from level 27.

Suddenly, skill points are overflowing.

I wonder if time has passed while I was thinking about such fun things.

I can hear the presence of people from the bottom of the snowy mountain.

“This way!”

“What kind of mess is this?”

“Rich! Where is the Rich!”

Fallwyn’s soldiers were approaching this way with a murmur.

‘Oh right. Buckland…’

I thought so and looked at the place where Buckland was.

I wondered if he would be blown away because of the collapse of the terrain, but fortunately the aftermath of the collapse narrowly avoided the place where he was.

It was just dusty.

If that’s the case, post-processing won’t be a problem.

Among the soldiers, Priscilla was also visible.

Before the soldiers can spot me, Priscilla catches my eye first.

“Zetto…?!”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Priscilla called me and ran hurriedly.

Soon after, Priscilla, who came closer to me and bowed, opened her mouth.

“Why are you here…? Where are you hurt?”

“…No other injuries. Write…”

I answered Priscilla and wiped away the blood that had oozing out.

At that time, Priscilla checks the head of Richie in front of my feet.

Soon after, Priscilla, who was scratching her head, let out a sigh.

“Haa… I need a detailed explanation of what happened…”

“That’s it…”
