Count Scribe's Tutor

“At the last moment, the dragon said. ”

You sweep through the ancient fish carved into the wall with your fingers on them.

“One day, the shadow of destruction will come upon the world, and it will be a disaster. I declare that the whole world will be flooded with death. ”

Elongated lip salve.

He puts every word of the ghosts in his mouth.

“That's why we keep this record. Qualified person. If you have a temper of bravery, please prevent disaster. The Knight of Steel, Rodenhark ion engraving. ”

That's where the record ends. The mural was the same.

The long corridor ended. What you see is a locked iron door. On the door was a very short ancient language, which actually means, "The Chamber of Seals."

[Does that mean the dragon's head is in there?]

The bridge asked in a curious voice. Probably. Ferda nods quietly. Then his gaze turned to the name engraved at the end of the record.

‘Rodenhark ion. ’

A man who writes records, and remains here with the Dragon-head.

That's exactly what he said.

‘But. ’

It was an unfamiliar name. It made me curious, but I soon stopped paying attention. In the original, every death omitted its own process of reclaiming the body. It's not weird, even if it's not mentioned.

Kugugugu District

Then the iron gate began to open.

The party has only one option. Ferda takes the lead in case anything happens to her. As I walked through the door, I felt a cold chill.

After a while, the group realizes why.

“This is · · · · · · · · ·. ”

All the floors were frozen solid. The walls were frozen, and the most surprising thing was that the ceiling was made of thick ice.

Then Radina exclaims with a excited face.

[Wow! It's beautiful.]

Radina's view is beyond the ceiling. Past the thick ice, only the shaking shakes. Looking closely, it looks like the currents.

“Frost Lake? ”

[I think so. I can feel the energy of water.]

Inside the bridge, the conjecture turned into certainty. According to her, the thick ice wall on the ceiling is the bottom of the Frost Lake.

That means that if that thing collapses, it'll sink right in. I hope it doesn't collapse. As Ferda prays, she suddenly catches the group's eye.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

A huge ice wall.

If it were just an ice wall, you wouldn't be so surprised.

The problem is inside the ice wall.

Radina, who found it, yells excitedly.

Dad, Dad. Dragon!]

Like I said, inside the ice wall is the Dragon Head.

The last dragon mentioned in the record was the first disaster, the head of all death.

[It's nothing compared to a king. · · · · · · · · · ·]

[You look very angry.]

[You look like the most powerful thing I've ever seen.]

The ghosts whisper in a tense voice.

It was the same with reality that I was nervous. It was just a frozen head in front of me, but I felt a strong sense of pressure just watching.

When the atrophied reality slightly grabbed my neck.

Suddenly, there was a crouching tooth.

“It's okay.”

It's Ferda. She smiles and smiles.

“I'm not fighting alone. Right?"

There can be no stronger word than this in the face of a powerful enemy. The face of reality that had been stiffened with tension was somewhat relaxed.

He was right.

In reality, there are three powerful spirits.

The forest grounds that once ruled the forest also came under his command, with an army of over a thousand undead. Above all, there was the most trustworthy person in the world.

“Yes, it is. ”

A smile appeared on his face.

I looked up at the dragon's head again. It's strange. Just hearing Ferda's words has left me feeling overwhelmed.

It was then.

“There is someone in front of the ice wall, my king. ”

Heron reports in a stiff voice. In fact, Ferda turned her gaze. Looking closely, I saw something. Perhaps he was overwhelmed by the dragon's head and couldn't find it.

In reality, I tilted my head.

“What is that? ”

In front of the ice wall is a statue of a human.

About three meters in size, his whole body was covered in steel. If Harmin wears full plate armor, that's exactly what it feels like. Then Ferda opens her mouth as if guessing.

“· · · · · · Golems? ”

[No, it's a little small for a golem.]

The bridge shakes its head.

Compared to regular golems, it was definitely small. Even small golems are at least 5 meters long. Then Radina suddenly pointed to something.

[Ah! There's writing too.]

The blunt arm points to a short Ancient language.

When he saw this, he put words in his mouth from the spirits.

“The Keeper of Seals. Rodenhark ion.”

I'm afraid that's over.

Thudded

There is a faint vibration between the stars.

Soon his eyes flashed dark green. The group keeps an eye on him for awkward changes. Not long after, Rodenhark raises his head.

“· · · · · · · Access records. ”

Green eyes were rapidly extinct ( ⁄ 28357;).

After that, I heard a broken voice.

“Since the last hibernation," said 371, "on the 15th of the sixth month. ”

It was not dry? That was not enough.

What do you want me to say? Yeah, it's a little mechanical.

Then Rodenhark mutters to the car again.

“Seal confirmed. Clear. Let's start exploring the perimeter. ”

The green eyes illuminate the floor like lasers. It swiftly sweeps around, and quickly approaches the group.

“One human. One spirit, one unidentified creature. ”

I searched Ferda, Darian, and then Radina in turn. But when it was his turn, he suddenly frowned.

What's wrong with him? When there was a question on Ferda's face.

A cold voice drenched the surroundings.

“Found the commander. ”

At that moment, Rodenhag's eyes turned pale.

Brace yourselves!

A great sword was grasped in his hand. I couldn't help but wonder where it came from. The guy who changed his eyes jumped on the ground.

Ferda, who saw this, also ran forward. A quick draw. In the blink of an eye, he stands in the way of Rodenhark.

Kaga Gaga!

The scabbard and the Great Sword were scratched violently. Immediately, I woke up with a strong shock. If further attacks come from this situation, it will be inevitable.

But there was nothing to worry about.

Ferda's sense of battle surpassed him.

Ferda quickly regains her posture in the air before Rodenhark wields his sword again. Then I jumped on his sword, kicking his arm with a foot full of Mana.

Phew!

A shifting blade crashes into the ground in a tumultuous sound. Through the gap, you take a step back and open the street. In the meantime, the group, including the actual one, moves a little farther away.

Quad Duc

Rodenhag draws a dagger from the ground.

I expected to run right away, but I didn't surprisingly.

“Start the goal redirection. ”

His red eyes spread out like lasers.

It finds its place in reality like a ghost.

“Verify your location. Eliminate the enemy.”

With a mechanical tone of politeness, Rodenhark begins to charge again. But at the end of the day, I couldn't reach his sword.

Pabababak!

Dozens of magical arrows flew away.

[A lump of scrap metal!]

[How dare you go after the king!]

It wasn't just that.

Angry ghosts also participated in the attack. Then Rodenhark no longer approached Silvan. Looking at this, Ferda narrows her eyes.

Why the sudden attack? ’

As soon as he saw the reality, he launched an unprovoked attack. With the word that you've found the commander. When I thought about it, I suddenly came up with an assumption.

Do you really think all death is real? ’

It was a pretty likely guess.

Or maybe he thought he was a commander with ties to all the deaths.

Because this is a place that excludes those with unclean powers. I could tell just by the first ordeal of light.

‘In short, I think I misunderstood. ’

If his conjecture is true, there is no reason to fight Rodenhark. In fact, he is destined to fight against all death.

If so, it is better to resolve misunderstandings.

Rodenhark remembers the disaster a thousand years ago.

If we talk, we can get a lot more information than what's written on the mural. But now is not the time to stop fighting.

I don't even know how to solve the misunderstanding in the first place. He's the one who didn't try to talk and attacked first.

‘There's nothing I can do. ’

Let's make him incapacitated, then persuade him slowly.

Ferda's eyes are cold. At that moment, I heard a familiar voice in my ears.

[Oh, my God, what kind of monster is that?]

It's Frank. He's not surprised.

[It looks almost like a full-grown Arcane.]

The words made my brow crumpled.

Like Arcane, the monster of the swamp? That means he's got a legendary edge. Then it will be difficult to completely subdue Heron and the three spirits.

‘We should join forces.’

Ferda makes her decision, and she goes straight to the ground.

But it was only a matter of time before I had to stop. It was because the guy who fought so hard suddenly acted out of nowhere.

Kuang!

Rodenhark plunges the Great Sword into the ground. Small pieces of ice protrude from all sides.

What's wrong with chasing ghosts with all that hard work? Ferda stops at a strange position and watches his actions.

Then Rodenhark opens his mouth.

“Use 15 percent of the · · · · · · · power. ”

An unknown muttering to the end.

An enormous amount of magical power surged from the Starling City Great Sword. At that moment, Ferda's instinct gives a powerful warning. As soon as I realized this, I shouted in a hurry.

“Everyone, stand back! ”

Could it be the urgent shout?

No one ignored his warning. Heron quickly retreates with Radina, and the thread is also bitten by three spirits. Ferda stands guard at the side of the hut, ready for one.

At that moment.

An enormous amount of magical power rises from the center of Rodenhag. The magic quickly settles in the Great Sword and is released into a formidable state.

And there was an earthquake.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga!

First, all the ice floors split apart.

At the same time, the earth begins to split apart. It's unbalanced by tremendous vibrations. But the real disaster began now.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

A blue breeze rises from the cracks in the ground.

The wind quickly turned into a storm. It was a magical storm.

A magical storm created by Rodenhark has destroyed everything around it. Ice sheets and ice walls began to melt and crack even thick ceilings. Looking at this made me feel creepy.

‘If you were in there.' ’

Without a scream, it would have been powder in no time. That was the power of the magical storm that Rodenhag created.

Fortunately, the current company is out of storm range. But I don't know when the range will expand, so I put the veil of the night tightly in my legs.

Shortly after, the magical storm ceased.

Quadruck!

Rodenhark pulled out the Great Sword.

The red eyes once again glance around you.

“Elimination failed. Re-explore. Confirm hostile presence. ”

He fixed his gaze on reality and soon became ready to attack. Then I started running again to make sure I didn't get bored.

Facing him, Ferda clears his throat.

‘Finish in a heartbeat. ’

I originally wanted to hear the story by making it incapacitated.

However, his ability changed my mind. Threatening power that surpasses expectations. I shouldn't have let it go. Even if I couldn't hear the information, I had to stop him.

Pa!

Ferda crashes the ground.

I can see exactly where to aim. Thanks to his talent for assassination, he showed me where his weaknesses lie.

‘Chest, and joints of arms and legs. ’

All five areas. If you destroy them all, he will be silent.

You quickly draw the scepter, blocking Rodenhark's path. After hitting the sword like before, I decided to use my repulsive power to catch up with him.

And then I ran into him.

Something unexpected happened.

Kuang!

Rodenhark ran into the stardust.

He jumped to the ceiling in an instant with an incompatible jump force.

Oops!

Ferda's eyes widen as she sees this.

Then I realized, just as I did before, Rodenhark did not fight Ferda so actively. It was the same with the others. There's only one thing he's been after since the beginning.

Only in real life.

Ferda rolls the floor in a hurry. I couldn't slow down. He quickly got up and immediately turned and ran to the realm.

But he was faster.

“I've got a target. ”

Boom!

Rodenhark crashes into the ceiling.

He staggers toward reality with a terrifying agility. Fast enough to not react to nearby ghosts.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

As I look at the approaching Great Sword, my eyes widen.

‘That's weird.'

The surrounding landscape looks slow.

It's like everybody's doing it on purpose. But then I realized it wasn't. As a matter of fact, my body didn't move.

A sword that came at you.

Facing this, I suddenly remembered a word.

Death.

But at that moment, a mutation occurred.

Ka 'ang!

With a sharp sound, the direction of the Dagger twists slightly.

A large sword that flew through his cheek as if it were a split head. At the same time, someone hugged you roughly.

‘Oh, maybe. ’

The first one that came to mind was Ferda.

Heron and the ghosts are reluctant to touch his body. But something was a little strange. I could feel it, but I didn't feel the warmth. Like a big doll hugging you, not a person.

Phew!

At that moment, the man in his arms kicks Rodenhag. I didn't think he had much power, but once he was hit, he rolled to the ground miserably. Meanwhile, a red solid line was drawn on the cheek.

At the same time, I could see the reality.

Who saved himself from the peril of death.

Now he looks about 25 years old.

I wore a quirky gray top and blue lined trousers.

On the other hand, there was curiosity in the eyes of reality. It was because the young man's face was so unfamiliar, even though he was dressed strangely.

Where did you come from all of a sudden?

As those questions filled his head, the young man aimed at Rodenhark with a black dagger in his hand. Then I sprayed my lips with an annoying face.
