Chapter 300
I am not a returner Episode 300
Sky Mountains (6)
“Fire.”
At the end of the year, flames like fireflies appear.
He shoots it forward as if flicking a tobacco stick stuck in his middle finger.
“Burn up.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The flames spread like a fan and became a fierce storm that swept the surrounding area.
A terrible roar echoing from all directions.
The thick smoke flowing out from burning flesh mixed with the hazy fog.
“Keeeeeeek!”
The spider demon rushed through the flames and rushed towards Ha-eun.
Ojin and Riak, who were waiting next to her, blocked the crowd of spider demons.
The spear and claws filled with blue lightning tore apart the spider beast.
“Please both of you step back for a moment.”
Isabella, who was scattering blood around the area, spoke to Riak and Ojin.
Ojin and Riak, who were taking the lead in wiping out the spider demons, nodded and stepped back.
“Bloom.”
A red flower bloomed from the blood drops that fell on the floor.
The fluttering blood-flower leaves spread widely around like cherry blossoms.
“Kiik! “Keeeeek!”
The body of the spider demon that touched the blood flower leaf dried and crumbled like a mummy.
A quiet silence settled in the place where the blood blaze had swept over.
“Did you get rid of it?”
Ha-eun, who was about to take out the tobacco, glanced around and looked around.
at that time.
Among the withered corpses of the spider beasts, one that survived jumped towards her.
“Grrr!”
Poppy hit the jumping spider beast with her front paw as if catching a cockroach.
Quick.
Unpleasant green fluid burst out from the spider demon’s body.
Oh Jin patted Poppy’s back and glared at Ha Eun.
“Isn’t there one more one that came out at the end because my sister said that?”
“No, it’s my fault?”
“It’s my sister’s fault.”
In fact, isn’t it the same as memorizing a resurrection spell?
“It’s worse than that.”
Ha-eun looked down at the corpses of the spider beasts covering the area, took out a piece of tobacco and put it in her mouth.
Although it was only a large number, it was not a difficult magical beast to deal with.
The problem was that this was only the beginning of the Sky Mountains.
“Wouldn’t it be better to really get this back on track?”
This evil came from the beginning of the mountain range, and I felt dizzy just imagining how many demonic beasts I would be tormented if I went deeper inside.
“I want to do that too, but it takes too much time.”
Just arriving at the Sky Mountains had already wasted several days.
I didn’t know how long it would take to go back the way we came and avoid the mountains, even if Poppy was there.
“Now that I think about it, doesn’t Mr. Ojin have the skill to fly?”
Are you talking about stepping on the scars?
“It’s a little different from mine. Even if you use it, it will be difficult to cross the mountain range.”
In the first place, stepping on brain marks was a good skill to use when taking a free position in battle or showing movement that transcends the laws of physics, but was not a skill suitable for use as a means of transportation.
Just like throwing a mulsujebi, if you step on the thunderbolt a few times, it falls straight to the bottom.
It was even more difficult to use as a means of transportation if you had to carry Ha-eun and Isabella.
[I don’t think I would recommend using the Thunder Stamp, either.]
Vega frowned and looked at the thick fog surrounding her.
[This fog was not created naturally.]
Well.
To say that the fog that blocks the senses was created naturally would make no sense.
“then?”
[Like the dragon vein, there may be a hidden power powerful enough to distort natural phenomena.]
The dragon vein.
[The important thing is that if you try to fly and cross the mountain range, you run the risk of being caught up in its power.]
“In any case, you have no choice but to turn back or break through on foot.”
Which one to choose has already been decided.
“let’s go.”
“Ugh… those spider babies are so disgusting.”
Ha-eun frowned and grumbled, but followed up next to Oh-jin.
“purr!”
Poppy bent down as if to get on his back.
Ojin stroked Poppy’s head and shook his head.
“I’ll walk from here.”
“That Grung?”
Did you take it as a sign that you were going to leave me here?
Poppy’s round eyes were filled with tears.
Ojin chuckled and tickled Poppy’s chin.
“Can you follow me carefully from behind?”
“Grung! purr!”
Poppy stepped back with bright eyes.
“I will take the lead.”
Riak stepped forward.
Even if the thick fog surrounding the area dulled one’s senses, it was most efficient for Riak, who had excellent basic acumen and quick movements, to take the lead.
“Oh, by the way, everyone gather around for a moment before we leave.”
Ohjin pulled out a long wire from the wire shooter on his forearm.
“Let’s all connect ourselves with this.”
“Ah, this is a method that mountain climbers often use.”
“huh. “If this is the case, it will be okay to be some distance away from each other.”
“Hmm. “I just want to stick close to Mr. Oh Jin.”
Isabella smiled mischievously and wrapped Ojin and her body around the wire.
“Isabella.”
“lol. “It’s a joke.”
Isabella stuck out her tongue cutely and reconnected the wire properly.
Ojin and his group, tying each other with wire, entered the Sky Mountains.
“….”
“….”
Everyone walked carefully with nervous expressions on their faces.
As we entered the Sky Mountains, the fog surrounding us became thicker.
“I’m really going crazy because I can’t see anything.”
As Ha-eun said, the pressure and tension she felt because she couldn’t see her surroundings was no joke.
How many hours did it take to walk like that?
“Shall we take a short break?”
Ojin and his group had enough stamina to walk for only a few hours, so there was no need to rest.
As I was constantly in a state of tension due to the fog surrounding me, fatigue set in quickly.
“okay. “Let’s eat something while we take a break.”
Oh Jin took out ingredients from his backpack.
“I will do the cooking.”
“Then I’ll install some alarms around the area.”
Even though it was an alarm, it was a simple device made by connecting a wire between trees and attaching a bell, but it was still much better than nothing.
Oh Jin, who finished installing alarms around the area, ate the food prepared by Ha-eun and Isabella.
“Ha~! Still, I think I’ll buy something since it contains something!”
Ha-eun stretched out her feet.
“Oji~ It’s better~”
As her stomach filled up, Ha-eun seemed to have relaxed a bit and came closer to Oh-jin.
Without any time to stop, Ha-eun put her head on her thigh and curled up like a cat.
“I’m tired so I’m going to sleep for a bit, so wake me up in 20 minutes.”
“…Can you sleep in this situation?”
“People have to sleep and live, man.”
In a way, I envied this peaceful personality.
He sighed and stroked Ha-eun’s head, rubbing her cheek like a cat showing affection.
Come to think of it, it’s a cat.
“Isabella, do you know anything about the constellation Cat?”
“The constellation Cat?”
“huh. “You said you knew the executor of Cat before.”
“Ah yes. “It was like that.”
Isabella nodded and continued speaking.
“I know almost nothing about the Black Star constellation. “The Black Star Constellation cannot be found in the sanctuary like other constellations.”
“That’s right.”
Even if they were able to meet, very few awakened people actually went to the sanctuary to meet the Constellation.
Because a constellation was not something you could meet comfortably like a friend.
“Oh, but I’ve heard that you’re very jealous.”
“Are you jealous?”
“yes. “Most of the awakened cats are very jealous, and they say that is due to the influence of the constellation.”
Among the awakened, there were quite often cases where they were influenced by the personality or some characteristics of the constellation that gave them the stigmata.
The reason Isabella suffered from the urge to suck blood was because she was influenced by the stigmata.
“I am very jealous.”
Ojin continued to think for a moment and turned his head towards Vega.
“Has Vega never met the constellation of Cat?”
[There is no such thing. The main woman mostly stayed at the temple.]
Well.
From the beginning, even among the constellations with strong individualism, Vega was in a poor position.
There is no way he could be acquainted with the constellation of Cat, which was expelled from the sanctuary in the distant past and downgraded to a ‘satellite’.
“Now that I think about it, why were the constellations previously called satellites expelled from the sanctuary?”
[There are several reasons. Either the personality is too vicious, or it caused a big dispute with another Constellation, or the stigmata itself has a big problem, such as a vampiric impulse.]
I didn’t know anything else, but I thought I knew who the Constellation was that was expelled because of the vampiric impulse.
[I don’t know the details, but that was the reason.]
“…You really weren’t close to the other constellations.”
Sometimes during conversations, I didn’t know so much that I doubted whether Vega was really a constellation.
[But there are still constellations that can be called close friends!]
“Oh, I know Spica… but who are the other constellations?”
[That…!]
Vega lowers his head with a downcast expression.
I think it was a question that was too harsh for Assa.
“Mr. Oh Jin. “I can’t use it if you say things like that.”
“sorry. Vega. “I didn’t know there was a constellation I was close to other than the real Spica.”
[You’re so noisy!]
When I offered my sincere consolation, Vega blushed and shouted.
[The main lady just did her best in her responsibilities and duties as a Constellation!]
Gorum Gorum.
Whoever our goddess is, she could make as many friends as she wanted.
It’s not that I can’t date, it’s just that I don’t date.
[Don’t look at the real woman with those eyes!]
Snap!
Vega’s palm struck Ojin’s forehead.
Ojin burst into laughter and nodded.
“Then let’s start again soon…”
Jing.
A faint sound of bells was heard.
Ojin quickly stood up, pulling Dantalian from his waist.
Argh!
Ha-eun, who was lying on her thighs, screamed and fell down.
“It’s over there.”
“yes.”
Ojin and Isabella turned towards the direction from which the sound came.
The fact that you could hear the sound of bells even in the fog that dulled your senses meant that you were that close.
When preparing for an attack by channeling magical power throughout the body.
“Nyaa.”
A black cat walked out from beyond the fog.
“cat?”
A cat walked out of the fog, licking its fur with its tongue and gently wagging its tail.
It was a cute gesture that made me lose my guard for a moment.
“…bantling.”
“I know.”
There was no way there would be a cat in the Sky Mountains, which are called ‘forbidden’ even in the Demonic Classics.
Puzzle!
As I put a thunderbolt on the tip of the spear, the gaze of the cat that was licking its fur turned to Ojin.
“Who are you?”
“…Eh?”
Fluent words flowed from the cat’s mouth.
