Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 37

Catastrophe of Death

The day of Leona Ledophin, a high priest of the Palace of Justice, begins with investigating the unfinished mission.

Among other things, the mission that has been noted recently is the loss of holy objects. It was to track down the Moon's Eye, a sacred object that had suddenly disappeared from the Kingdom of Laderon.

The problem is, there's not even a little trace. Even though it was already two months after the first loss, I still haven't caught my tail.

But today was a little different.

“Huh?"

Lina opens her eyes, carelessly chasing after the shrine.

If it was normal, it was because it was shining on a consistent observation device because it was unresponsive. Lena focuses on the device, raising her horn-rimmed glasses halfway down.

“The Moon's Eye! ”

I got up from my seat and yelled.

I was so surprised that I couldn't even hear the chair go backwards. She glances at the observation mechanism with a twinkling look in her eyes.

“What? Why are you showing up now? ”

The Moon's Eye appeared in the southern part of the Kingdom of Laderon. It was also where the Moon's eyes disappeared for the first time.

So where have the Moon's Eyes been for two months?

Liena's eyes burn with curiosity.

But wait a minute.

“By the way, I had to report it first. ”

The Moon's Eye was a mission classified as Epic.

That's why Lina went straight to the Sanctuary to make it known to the top.

Meanwhile, the time.

Rena's destination, Daejeon, was literally turned upside down.

There are two reasons in total. One was due to the identity of the enemy who attacked the Archdut Earl early this morning through a messenger. And the other one was because of the phenomenon that just happened.

“What the hell! ”

The Holy King, Errhim, trembles.

His unbelieving eyes turned enormous, and his arms and legs trembled with restlessness. It was because of the powerful power I felt just a few minutes ago.

“· · · · · · Rich Hills. Did you feel that?”

“Yes, it was a terrifying and terrible force. ”

Cardinal Rich Hills, who was by the Holy Father, wiped away the brittle sweat.

A few minutes from now.

The six cardinals, including the Holy King Ergheem, sought the temple instead for morning prayers. When I was about to wake up after praying, I felt a strong expression of strength with a chilly period.

The power of the divine and the power at the power of the divine.

Shameless and very negative power. Moreover, even though it was comparable to God, it was not too strong. Errhim mutters, feeling a tremor that has not yet gone.

“What the hell is going on in the kingdom? ”

Negative forces were felt in the southern part of the Kingdom of Laderon.

At the same time, it was also a place where the disasters written in the Bible stayed. The Cardinal immediately regained his senses and knelt on the ground.

“Holy Father! This must not go lightly. ”

The Cardinal knew. What is the Holy Father's purpose?

When the kingdom is at stake, it will try to expand the influence of the Holy Kingdom by reaching out for the hand of salvation. Of course, I agree with the intention of increasing the number of followers, but now is not the time to think about it.

“Disaster is the undead! Moreover, it is thought to be a monster with fewer personalities. ”

The enemy in front of me is so powerful. The Pokémon is not a casual opponent. If we do this, we will be able to swallow up the Holy Land and suffer great harm.

“If you let it go on like this, disaster will gradually escalate. In order to minimize the damage to the Holy Land, we must deploy our troops to the Kingdom of Laderon immediately! ”

At the end of the cardinal's words, Errhim was troubled.

However, the concern was not long.

“Cardinal Liechild, tell all the paladins of Elus. ”

He was also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Errhim rises from his seat and hardens his face like a stone.

“This is the time for trials. ”

* * *

The Earl's big city, Mullen.

Once considered the most beautiful city in the southern kingdom, it is now turning into the land of the dead.

Ghouls chasing the stench of the living from the corpse Giants that are advancing towards the building with their bare hands. Because there was no one to stop them, the enemy mercilessly lured the city.

“Ahhhh!”

“Please, please help me! Aah!”

Citizens who had not yet evacuated died screaming. Ghouls gnaw at the corpse like catfish. Some bodies rise again, craving the flesh and blood of their neighbors.

A landscape filled only with death.

There was literally no hell.

Meanwhile, there are those who flee in a hurry, leaving the city of hell unfolding. As soon as I heard the evacuation alarm, I was the first to evade my body.

All refugees are headed north. Beyond Mullen's North Gate was an arcade. If we get there, we will surely survive. I definitely believed it, so I didn't doubt it.

But even before they reached the North Gate, there were those who were thrown back. It was mainly families traveling with children.

“Ha, ha! ”

Shelley grips her teeth and runs.

My breath fills up to my chin, but I can't stop. The moment I stopped to choose my breath, I felt like I was going to bite the necks off the dead.

Even though I ran as hard as I could, the distance to the herd was growing.

But then, a desperate sound came from behind my back.

“Khhh! Khhaah! ”

I saw a group of seagulls chasing me.

Shelley feels her spine getting cooler and slower. However, I did not overcome the fierce speed of the ghoul.

“Aah!”

Shelley rolls the floor on a rock.

Along with him, the five-year-old daughter who was behind his back rolled the floor. The child with the huge hump on his head quickly burst into tears.

“Ahhhh, Mom! ”

Is it because of the loud crying?

The ghouls that were headed towards Shelley twisted. It was where her daughter was. Seeing this, Shelley got up in a hurry. However, it was faster for the ghoul to lift his nails.

“Oh, no! ”

Shelley opens her eyes and screams.

It was then.

Phew!

The head of Ghoul who was aiming for his daughter burst like a balloon. It wasn't just that.

Phew! Phew! Boom!

The bodies of all the ghouls surrounding the area burst into chaos. Rotten flesh and fingernails that rip apart the ribs. Selly gives a blank expression in a sudden situation.

But wait a minute.

“Serra!”

When Shelley regained consciousness, she ran straight to her daughter. The body is surrounded, but you don't mind. She hugs her daughter and pats her back.

“Ahh! Mom. ”

“It's okay. I'm right here. It's okay."

I was scared, but I couldn't pretend to be scared in front of my daughter. So I endured the whole body tremor while biting my lips tightly. Then someone came down from the sky.

The man with the bow, covered in gray robes.

He covered his mask with a white face, so he couldn't see his face. At the same time, Shelley felt intuitive. This man is the savior who saved them.

“Go, thank you. Thank you very much. ”

So I hurriedly bowed my head.

But then, the man cut her off.

“Head west. ”

“Yes?”

“You'll be safe to the west. ”

Shelley was embarrassed when she asked her to go west without incident.

“Boo, not north? ”

“Run fast. ”

A man pointing west with a bow. Shelley nods in haste as she seems to be in a hurry. Then I carried her back and ran towards Seo Moon.

Looking at the mother's back, Heron pulls back the bow.

Queek Gigg Pa!

The magical arrow shot from the bow bursts the heads of the ghosts hidden in the alley.

That wasn't all. All of a sudden, Heron climbs up onto the roof and shoots down all the undead around her mother.

Then suddenly something caught his eye.

“That's · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Near the path to the mother.

It's swarming with hundreds of walkers. If the mother leaves the alley and enters the alley ( ), she may encounter it.

When the purple glare of Heron was about to hit the roof.

Kuang!

Something big falls in the middle of the zombie pack.

With the Great Sword, it spins mad and grinds the zombies apart. He clears out the zombie pack in an instant and heads to the nearest Undead.

“· · · · · · Rodenhark. ”

Heron mutters its name and looks back at the mother.

No more enemies nearby. I turned back without hesitation to check. to carry out the task given to him again.

Then, a huge shadow falls between the stars.

Reflexively, there was something in the sky as big as a square.

A monster made up of an off-white skeleton. It also looked roughly like a dragon that would appear in legend.

“No way. ”

The figure suddenly made me think of myself.

When Heron opened his eyes wide.

There was someone who made a similar guess not too far from him.

“Is that all death is? ”

It was Ferda.

I had no choice but to guess.

All Death Identities are dragons. And that was in the shape of a dragon.

But there was one question that was not answered.

“But how is your head still intact? ”

That monster is truly a perfect dragon.

There was definitely a head, even though it was covered in black smoke. When I frowned at the unsolved question.

Kuaaaaang!

Suddenly, it descended from the sky to the ground.

Then I stepped on the North Gate. The tall walls collapse like sand towers, and the gates are so flat that it's hard to tell the shape apart.

“I think every death is right just by your actions. ”

Somewhere, however, it didn't seem so strange.

Then, a familiar voice tickled my ears.

[No, that's just a shell.]

It was Frank.

Meanwhile, Ferda asked curiously.

“Shells?”

[Yes, I don't have a soul. It's like a moving corpse.]

That means that dragon is not all death.

The source of all death's powerful power comes from his soul.

“Then where the hell is all death? ”

[I don't know. They're running this way.]

Along with Frank's words, I felt a number of postures behind my back. Turning your head, you see all the forces of death entering Mullen's interior.

They rush straight to the square.

Perda loosens the angel and casts a magic spell on it. The whereabouts of all death were important, but it was also important to reduce their numbers.

Two or two!

The sound of feet echoing roughly on the ground.

Ferda was about to enter the battle afterwards.

“Ha.”

You hear a faint sigh, no matter what.

It was in real life. He was making a dry face all the time, making his first face. In reality, an annoying expression mutters with a powerful face.

“· · · · · · Loud. ”

Did he feel irritable?

A purple spectacle filled the square filled with life. That wasn't all. The magic of the dark dimension that flowed from the realm began to rise like a snowball as soon as the servants disappeared.

It was thanks to his new skill, Qi Qi Qi Kyi.

A skill that consumes a small amount of magical power and boosts a servant's abilities based on the skill set by the Shaman.

“Kihia!”

In the meantime, the enemy approaches.

He mutters, still frowning.

“Tear it all apart. ”

To the end of a short command.

A blue flame and a borate flame burst forth.

It follows a common battle with a sword and a shield. If there's one thing that's unusual, it's that the battle of the dead is chaotic, but still.

Phew! Phew! Quadruck!

The sound of brushing flesh with a club. The sound of cracking skulls and crunching bones. The sound of his flesh being torn apart and his whole body being eaten away.

That was it.

No one screamed, and no one retreated from fear.

I couldn't even find a homicidal frenzy. There are only corpses that smash and tear at the behest of their masters.

[Well, you might say that, but...]

The bridge that just appeared mutters.

[It's like watching a puppet show.]

Ferda nods quietly. It was because it was a perfect match.

A battlefield without blood. The battle between death and death alone. So, just like watching the puppet show, it was a scenery that was not impressive at all.

Then a new presence entered the battlefield.

Chug, chug, chug!

Living armor made by real estate.

They march forward as if they were well-trained soldiers.

The surprising thing was that, unlike the undead, each one acted as if it had a self.

The sight screamed with a surprised face.

[Oh, my God. You're controlling all of them?!]

The unbelievable expression was random.

Ferda also looked at the realm with a surprised face.

In the past, when we trained together in the underground waterway. The number of undead that can be handled freely was only thirty. At that time, I thought it was great, too.

But you're free to use the Thousand Goose?

This was unimaginable. Even when the original work was exhausted, the number of undead free materials did not exceed a hundred spheres.

‘· · · · · · · · The degree to which this myth is completely open. ’

The tight-fitted fist trembles.

At this rate, every death will be resolved without a problem. A light smile appeared on Ferda's mouth. But the smile didn't last long. It was because of his actions that it seemed like a problem between the stars.

[But isn't that a little dangerous?]

In a bridge with a worried face. Then Ferda smiled straight away. Then he nods and reaches for the realm.

However, there was someone who intervened before him.
