Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 36

Second Coming

Splash!

A foot of bones tramples the swamp into the groundwater.

The last branch of all death. The greatest warrior of the past, Latterwand. He stares silently at the dark passageway with a glowing blue glare.

“You're going the wrong way. ”

Before we got here, there was a group of Humans who were chasing him.

There were only a dozen knights left, but they were a little confused on the way to deal with them.

“I should have gone a little lower. ”

The sound of scratching iron resounded.

Of course, it wasn't a big mistake. I just tore this whole place down, and then I turned it down. However, the moment I was about to move it to practice.

Suddenly, it appeared to mesmerize him.

“Hmm, is that...? ”

The blue light narrows.

A few moments later, you hear a rattling sound from beyond the darkness. What appeared immediately was a series of skeleton groups. You won't be surprised at this.

Only problem was the equipment they were wearing.

Blurry patterns engraved on leather equipment, weapons and shields. They were all armor used by the clans of the desert. Aware of this, Tervand mysteriously mutters.

“Why is the corpse of my people here? ”

However, I didn't see any clues to solve the question.

At that moment, the skeletons who discovered Tervand screamed.

“Khhhhh!”

A horde of rough skeletons.

Tervand's eyes turn cold as he confronts them.

Seop

It was only a single strike. However, the skeletons' bodies shattered and poured down on the floor. A golden spectacle slowly fading away. Looking at this, Tervand crushes Skeleton's skull.

“Brother, please enjoy your rest. ”

This is the only way to prevent the reanimation of the dead.

So I silently broke the skull of my people. After all the work, Tervand fixes the sword.

A slowly boiling magical power.

I was about to swing my sword straight at the ground.

Kuaaaaang!

With a loud bang, the floor collapsed intact.

What is it? I haven't even swinged my sword yet.

I doubted that when I crashed. But for a moment, Tervand fixed the center and landed safely on the ground.

Woof! Woof!

The floor, the debris from what was now a ceiling, falls. Tervand's gaze leads to the passageway beyond darkness. Now, just follow this road and you'll find your destination. But I couldn't move fast enough.

There was something out there.

Heave-ho!

The sword of Tervand bears the Sacrament Order.

At the same time, a blue flame flashes through the darkness of the Black Gulf.

“Intruder captured. ”

Mechanical speech that comes straight to me.

Rodenhark mutters in a bland voice.

“Begin the extermination. ”

* * *

The rebuilding of the fallen walls ended quickly.

It was because hundreds of individual spirits dug up the soil and built a foundation wall. Moreover, after filling the hole near the wall with water, the great moat was completed.

Walls and moats completed in just half a day.

Of course, the durability was not so good. I think it's made of dirt. Still, it was great for temporary use.

“Oh, my God. I didn't think that was possible. ”

“There's a reason you favor the spirits in the kingdom. ”

Seeing this, Serik and Joon awe me. Robert was the same. Sernerk's warriors were barely able to rebuild the walls, so they immediately entered their defensive posture.

It seemed like I saw really well trained Elite Soldiers.

“This is the kind of force that helps me? ”

All this time, I've just struggled to survive. He had no nobles, no army, no power.

But when I saw the power of the Sernerc, my heart gradually wavered. A little fire burns in my heart filled with despair and giving up. Hope, and the spark of greed.

“This should do it. ”

Of course, it is long enough to be compared to the forces of other brothers. However, Robert was satisfied just by taking this first step. When his mouth was filled with a light smile.

“What are you smiling at? ”

Unpleasant voices coming from behind.

The moment he heard this, Robert immediately turned his head. The blue eyes are the reflection of a boy his age. A silken arcade standing narrow in the glabella.

When I faced him, I saw a deeper smile. As soon as he opens his mouth again and asks, Robert speaks first.

“Haha, it's nothing. Just. ”

“Just?”

“I thought it was a good thing I left you in the future. ”

Robert smiles with a pretentious smile.

On the other hand, he looked disgusted.

“· · · · · · · So you can pioneer the future yourself. ”

A slippery retreat.

He really hates that look. Ferda smiles in relief. Then I watched the scene in an interesting way.

Jubbuck

Suddenly, it seemed popular.

After a short while, you hear a bland voice.

“I've been there.”

It was Heron.

The moment I shared my eyes with him, Ferda's expression changed.

His mouth's smile disappears like a tidal wave and his eyes freeze cold. A moment later, an indifferent word came out of his lips.

“Body?”

“I left them where they didn't want me to find them. ”

Ferda nods quietly, listening to the answer. He recalls the day he gave the order to Heron. It was the moment when he collaborated with the three princes. At that time, there was a suspicious movement.

‘A knight following Prince Two. ’

I don't know the name. I'm not interested.

But if you leave him alone, this will go into the ears of the two princes. Then, naturally, there will be a story of reality. That's why he defied Ferda's instinct.

‘We should keep the information to ourselves as long as possible. ’

The birth of a new strong man always brings time, jealousy, and control. Of course, someday it will all become clear to the world. It's hard to hide the fangs in your pockets for long.

But there was no need to rush it.

So I killed him.

It was his way of getting rid of everything that could go wrong.

Meanwhile, after completing the mission, Heron was about to make his move. There was a voice that grabbed his feet.

“I have one more thing to tell you. ”

“What is it?”

Ferda turns her head silently at Heron's words.

Robert has his eyes set on it. Seeing him with an elongated smile, a dry voice flowed out.

“Prince 3rd, keep an eye on Robert. ”

Then Heron's gaze automatically returned.

He tilts his head, whether he misunderstands the order.

“Is he to be dealt with? ”

“No, just watch. ”

Ferda shakes her head. He then added a detailed description.

“Listen to what you're talking about. If any of them come up with a practical story, record it all and report it later. ”

“Well, I see. I'll do that.”

Heron nods softly, saying he's involved with the king.

Shortly after, he quickly hides himself as if he had never shown up.

After that, Ferda smiles again as if it were when. Then he walked towards the realm far away.

* * *

Leaving behind Sergek's warriors and Robert.

Ferda makes her way to the underground waterway with her handiwork. It was because I had one thing to check. Shortly after arriving at the canal, you see someone waiting for them at the entrance.

It was a giant golem, Rodenhark.

“Watching. Intruders have entered and repelled." ”

I didn't need to hear who the intruder was.

Must have been the Destiny sneaking into Mullen alone.

“Well done. You saved the debris, right? ”

“Positive. I put it there. ”

Rodenhark pointing to a giant crate.

I also understand the meaning of the word "mechanical life." It's much better than a moving bridge if you give it magic as a reward. Ferda opens the chest with a satisfactory face.

And I just canceled the idea.

“· · · · · · · What is this? ”

“Answer, intruder. ”

“This?”

Ferda asks frankly.

Rodenhark nods.

“Positive. Severe resistance has forced some damage. ”

“Somewhat · · · · · · · · ·? ”

Ferda's repeated glances crumpled.

In response, Rodenhark turns his gaze to the side of the curtain.

“You've thrown away the powder, not a little bit. ”

The first thing you see are these little piles of bone dust. At the very least, it was a half-cracked skull and a few cracked bones.

When I looked closely, I saw a dented Longsword like a can of beverage. I don't know what I can do to make it like that.

Ferda sighs and calls out to Hound for a burial thread.

“Actually, can you come here for a second? ”

“Yes? Why? ”

A crooked thread approaches me as I walk.

At the same time, I pointed to the debris in the box and asked.

“Can you bring this back? ”

“Uh, I've never brought flour back to life. ”

The realm mutters with a serious face. It's understandable. Ferda sighed again, explaining. After a while, the reality of hearing the truth stares at Rodenhark in a daze.

Of course, Rodenhark avoided his gaze again.

“So what do you think? Can you bring him back? ”

“Well, it's not going to be perfect, but... ”

A blurry braid with frowned eyes.

But for a moment, he had a light smile on his face.

“I think it's possible to just bring it back. ”

“That's all I need. The whole point of extracting information anyway. ”

Ferda replies, relieved.

There is only one reason to bring Desknight back to life. To gather information about all the deaths. He must have been in the Army of Death relatively recently.

“Okay, just hold on a second. ”

In fact, he went that way to the lab.

About an hour after that. Bone dust miraculously regenerated. Of course, he didn't look too good.

“I see the king of all the unclean. ”

“Bakum Umba! Meet the real king! ”

The ogre king was also recovered from the battlefield after the Desknight. In the greeting of the two families, he nodded his head instead of the answer.

“You can now cooperate with Ferda. ”

“Ferda?”

“You! The man from before! ”

Unlike Tervand, who tilts his head.

Bakum must have remembered Ferda at once. Ferda was the one who pushed him into his second death.

Bang, bang!

Bakum moves its feet roughly.

Ferda, on the other hand, did nothing.

You look at him with calm eyes, even though you seem to be swinging your sword right now.

That's when the reality stopped.

“· · · · · · Warning. ”

The sound of cold, real life.

Immediately followed a resolute warning.

“Just touch Ferda. I'll crush your soul. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

It was a bold tone, but Bakum's eyesight was shaken roughly.

It was because the horror wrapped around his whole body.

“What's the answer?”

The word continues, and Bakum falls flat on his face.

After hitting his head on the ground several times, the terror that was attacking his whole body disappeared. Bacoom turned into a gentle sheep at once, just like when it was done.

Shortly after, the two undead kneel in front of Ferda.

“Tell me, what I'm curious about. ”

“If I know anything, I'll answer it. ”

I laughed as I saw the two undead change resolutely.

I'm glad I didn't lose my strength because of my disciple. I looked at the reality in a peculiar way and went straight to the point.

“There's only one thing I want to ask. ”

Reason for bringing them back.

“Information on all deaths. Tell me everything you know. ”

“All Death." ”

Tervand groans low.

Ferda narrows her eyes as she looks troubled. Is there a taboo that can't release information? By the time I thought about it, the answer came right back.

“I don't want to, because. ”

“We have not seen all death. ”

“What?"

The unexpected answer made my face crumpled.

At the same time, Tervand continued.

“Technically, I met him when I was reviving. But that was it. I haven't seen him since. ”

“All death only talks to priests. ”

“A priest?"

“Arumal Ludinger. I heard you were a powerful shaman all your life. ”

I've never heard of it.

Ferda frowns and Bacoom opens his mouth again.

“But I think this might be helpful. ”

I think I have an idea.

Bakum was a bold Turo horse.

“The priest said, If we fail to reclaim the heads of all the dead, we will rally all the forces to fight back. ”

“Total war." ”

Ferda's reaction was overwhelming.

I'm sure he will. I've already reduced the numbers quite a bit. Burned thousands of undead with the heart of the sun and slaughtered enemies in the battle of the West Gate.

There's about 20,000 of them left.

The real army against him reached 5,000. The undead, who are stationed in the underground waterway with the warriors of the Sernerk, and even the Living Armor.

It was worth a try.

Besides, all death is imperfect now.

‘Without a head, you wouldn't be able to use a brace. ’

A dragon that can't use a brass is just a big reptile. Moreover, no matter how difficult the commander is, he is worse than the real world.

No matter what I thought, the situation was better than any other time.

So Ferda smiled without worry.

“I hope you get here soon. ”

Get your quest reward when you're done.

He had a cold smile on his mouth.

* * *

Meanwhile, the time.

Fort Forum has been trampled on by the Undead and turned into a land of death. The earth died black and the grass and trees withered away.

A land filled only with the dead.

But only one. There was a living man among them.

A young man with brown hair. It was a shane arcade.

She was lying dead, but it seemed as if her chest was going up and down. He was lying on a huge altar, and what was unusual was that a strange creature was tightening its head in front of it.

“With this, all preparations are made. ”

A monster with a goat's head.

The priest, Arumal Ludinger, whispered. He rolls his blue eyes around, waving his skeleton staff and chanting an unknown spell.

Cough! Cough!

The sky was darkened in a flash.

At that moment, lightning strikes the altar through the crowded clouds.

Kuaaaaang!

A bolt of lightning that swallowed up the altar and shane in no time.

Arumal's eyes were filled with emotion.

“Oh, oh! ”

His body trembles.

Shortly thereafter, Shayne's fingers twitch.

Movements that began at the fingertips spread throughout the body. Soon, he slowly rises to his feet and sits down on the altar.

Arumal exclaims in a joyful voice.

“Ah, my king. My one and only king! ”

Arumal, who had his head tightened, hit his head on the elongated ground.

“I see your servant has been persecuted. ”

I'm afraid that's over.

A blue glare rises from Shayne's eyes.
