Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 57. Exploration (2)

About thirty minutes after the first battle.

The sky that looked as black as a swarm of Wyvern recovered its original color. Hundreds of Wyvern fell to the ground, half revived by reality.

“Glug! Glug! ”

The Wyvern is revived with the sound of scratching bones, shining a golden spectacle. As the handrail lifts slightly, the Wyvern folds its wings together and tightens its head. It was perfect obedience.

“Too bad. I wish I could bring it all back. ”

Meanwhile, the fact that he was watching this changed his appetite.

No matter how badly damaged the body was, it was possible to revive it to the undead.

But it was not enough to resurrect the Wyvern that crashed down the canyon. The Wyvern of Blood melted all the bones in less than five minutes.

All he could do was collect Wyvern's soul.

“We'll use it later. ”

I smiled, looking at the soul in the bush keeper's bosom.

Then, Korut opened his eyes when he found something.

“Akasha! We're almost across the canyon! ”

You hear an urgent shout, and the group head for the canyon in unison. The Akasha horde across the canyon was already across the river of blood. Moreover, there were more numbers than when we first discovered them.

“But didn't you say that when you touch the river, your body melts? ”

Shantam immediately replied as if he was curious.

“Generally, yes. But judging by the bold crossing, it looks like we might have a contingency plan that we don't know about. ”

Or because the leather's durability is so high.

But that wasn't the point. The group watches the path of the Akasha horde with fierce eyes. Then, Shantam opened his eyes wide as if he had noticed something.

“Strange. If you go that way, you'll disappear in the other direction. ”

“Does that mean he's not coming this way? ”

“Yes, it looks like you're trying to avoid us. ”

When Ferda asks again, Shantam nods.

As he guessed, the Akasha horde slowly drifted apart from this side. Looking at this scene, Shantam glances at you with an interesting face.

“Avoiding us means detecting danger. So how on earth did they detect the danger? You saw the battle with the Wyvern? Or they send and receive some kind of special signal between themselves. ”

The rapid whistling continues.

Maybe he'll find out something new. So it's best not to interrupt. Then Ferda looked back at the Akasha horde.

“We have to get rid of it now! ”

The warped Korut grabs his weapon.

He shouts with his lips clenched.

“I can't imagine how many brothers would lose their lives if an acacia of that size came out into the desert! ”

The number of Akashas is roughly over forty.

The average force of one Akasha is beginner Exports. But a crowd that size is swarming all over the place? A bustling village will be left behind after turning it into a field.

“But right now, a sharp number... ”

Shantam blurs his horse with a dark face.

Currently Akasha is moving to the side of the canyon. It was a dangerous place that could fall into the river of blood if I did something wrong.

The conclusion was that it was difficult to stop the Akasha horde right now.

But then.

“Rrrrghhh!”

Dozens of Von Wyvern have flown up with the beast.

They scatter a golden glare and quickly head to where Akasha is. Then you begin to peel off the skin of the Akasha with sharp claws and teeth. While Shantam and Korut were staring at it dazed.

Bloop!

The rain of the Black Flame has fallen on the Akasha horde.

The naked acacians were blazing blankly. A battle so freshly ended. As he gives a deaf look, someone taps Shantam on the shoulder.

“Are you done now? ”

Shantam flinches as he looks at him smiling.

At the same time, there was a feeling of fear in his eyes. It was a moment, but Ferda did not miss that vivid feeling.

‘Then it's worth it. ’

Hundreds of warriors have dealt with their less fortunate opponents with just one swipe. Ordinary humans are naturally afraid.

“Let's cross over there, then. ”

We have confirmed Akasha's presence beyond the canyon.

So it's time to move beyond ourselves and extract the information. As soon as the group's opinions are aligned, the group immediately calls out to Keang.

Whoo-hoo!

Signal a gust of giant wings.

A hundred individuals, Von Wyvern, followed Kwai 'ang. The group forms an army and marches on beyond the canyon.

After a short while, the canyon arrived full of dark fog.

“You'd better walk from here. ”

I can't see, so it could be dangerous for me.

The group agrees to his opinion.

Near the canyon, Kwain and Von Wyvern come together in small groups. Originally, it was effective to spread out and explore, but the fog prevented me from doing so.

“I can't feel a thing. ”

“Yeah. Magic wavelengths are consistent. ”

Tervand and Silvan have a conversation.

Like he said, Akasha doesn't see a single one. As I was walking for a long time, I saw something not far away. Carefully approaching, his identity was revealed soon.

“That's · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The thing in front of me is the black wall.

But it wasn't just a wall. It was so high that it could not fathom the end, and it extended to the side. When the group's eyes are startled by this scene, only Ferda gives you a sharp glow.

‘Is this the barrier Yoo Baek Hyun told me about? ’

A wall so hard it won't even cut through steel.

Ferda takes a step back, thinking about it. As he stares at the wall, he swiftly draws and swings the Arcane's scepter.

Kaga Gaga!

A magical sword slammed against the wall.

However, he was not satisfied with the blow. Ferda shakes her head crazily, aiming only at the point of the first strike. With a loud noise, the voice I heard for a long time rang my ears.

[Urgh! What are you doing?! Stop! Break the knife!]

Francis screams.

I stopped screaming. Then straightaway, Frank bursts into tears.

[Ooh, look at this! You ruined the whole day!]

Frank was right.

I could see the day was gone, even if it was just a little. This is how easy it is to injure a legendary weapon? Ferda's eyes glow with awe.

[What the hell did you cut open that made you look like this?]

Ferda showed me the barrier without saying a word.

With the idea that a long-lived sword might be able to determine the identity of the Wall.

But Ferda's thoughts slipped away.

[Oh, my God, what is this? How can you not scratch it when you swing it so hard?!]

Francis lets out a scream filled with awe.

Apparently, he doesn't even know the identity of the wall. Then this test will be meaningless. Ferda put the master back in the knife.

At that moment, you hear a disturbing sound.

Kuaaaaang!

Along with an enormous thundering sound, the crimson flowerpot swallowed the wall. Apparently, it was something magical. After a while, the smoke clears. But it didn't even burn.

“Amazing. I can't believe the magic didn't hurt. ”

Curiosity was in the eyes of reality.

He strokes the wall with his hands.

“What's even more surprising is that there's no magical array at all. Even small stones have unique magical arrays. Why can't I see anything? ”

But there was no one who could answer that.

Then, suddenly, Korut is dazed and mutters.

“Oh, my God. I never thought it would really exist. ”

I was so surprised that my voice was even trembling. It's like they know what the walls are. Ferda immediately asked the question.

“Do you know what this wall is? ”

“· · · · · · · The end of the world. ”

One of the legends from a distant ancient world.

Korut answered slowly and fortunate.

“The Ancients thought this world was a gunfight. And when he reached the edge of the world, there was a wall that could not be broken by any force. I thought it was just a legend. ”

Korut strokes the wall with his hand.

It was in the vicinity of what Ferda and Silk just tried to destroy. Korut then continued to speak in a trembling voice.

“There are also stories like this. Those who have seen the end of the world have gone beyond. No one knows where he went or how he disappeared. ”

His voice was filled with a pale fear.

It was an interesting story, but it didn't help much. Ferda got his attention right away. And I was going to continue my exploration of the wall again.

Kuoooo!

You hear a commotion not too far away.

Sounds of heavy objects crashing into the ground. Ferda and Silvan stare at each other and head toward the sound. A moment later, the realization of discovering something tilts its head.

“What is that? I don't think it's a rock. ”

It's a circular sphere of gray where it's pointed.

Just what it looks like, it looks like a limitless rock. Unlike the fact that curiously shines both eyes, Ferda remained firm in place.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Tiny black eyes.

There was a phrase that describes what it looked like in the original.

When the second disaster began, a myriad of grey berries fell from the sky. Thereafter, a fragment of the catastrophe, Akasha, appeared and announced the beginning of the true catastrophe.

At that moment, you hear a commotion.

Bang! Bang!

A fruit that splits in half.

It was Akasha, a strange creature covered in bark, that protruded from within. The group opens their eyes and quickly reaches out, noticing the situation.

[Instrument # 44601;!]

Akasha's eyes flashed from the fruit.

The magic of reality is triggered.

Boom, boom, boom, boom! Phew!

Dozens of dark spheres pierce through Akasha's body.

After a hard sheath falls, the black flame envelops Akasha. The newborn Akasha turns to ashes without even screaming.

The reality of killing Akasha quickly looked up at the sky. However, I couldn't see anything because of the fog obscuring my vision.

“Sir.”

Then Shantam, who had been observing the wall, talked.

“I'm sorry, can I go up there and take a look? ”

Seeing the look in his eyes, he must have guessed something.

In fact, he nodded happily.

“Good. I was just about to ask you a question myself. ”

When I made my decision, there was no hesitation.

Shortly after, Kwain and Von Wyvern, who were waiting in the canyon, arrived. The group climbs on top of Keang and heads straight for the sky.

How long has it been?

The Wyvern's flight speed has slowed. Suddenly, the Wyvern stopped in midair. The act raises a suspicion about the group's face, and the reality immediately opens its mouth.

“This isn't enough for them. My body can't take it. ”

It seemed to be due to high air pressure.

‘However, Yoo Baek Hyun only went up to a certain altitude. ’

Ferda nods as if she understood.

After that, the group climbs back up into the sky. The higher the altitude, the more pressure I felt. It will be uncomfortable for me to breathe with this cold period.

Whoo-hoo!

Through the clouds in front of my eyes, I saw a blue sky.

This meant that he soon escaped from the fog crowd. The landscape that followed was quite different from what I had seen on the ground.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The group's eyes widen.

All this time, I thought it was a wall, because it wasn't. A branch and a giant leaf that spread through the clouds. And roots sprouting from the ground up.

The reality of seeing this muttered in a dazed voice.

“· · · · · · · Tree? ”

Like he said, the identity of the wall was indescribably huge. Even the wall the party sees is not a pillar, but just a root.

Meanwhile, Ferda looks at the tree with a somewhat surprised face.

It's because I once saw something like it on Earth.

I stumbled upon something while exploring a Class S dungeon. A strange creature that cannot be destroyed or collected by any force.

Ferda put a name on her mouth that called for its existence.

“World Number · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The moment the nagging muttering was over.

“Huff!? ”

His face suddenly crumpled.

It was because I felt a terrible headache between the stars. Immediately, the Yggdrasil system appeared in front of me with a giggling noise.

[System error]

Invalid path access.

Unauthorized ■ ■ ■ attempts access.

Block Failed. Retrying. Failed.

Attempts and failures of the blockade were repeated.

The more I did, the more my headache got worse. Ferda, who was stumbling, knelt on her knees.

“Ugh! What is this? ”

The vision is getting blurry.

Ferda, sweating, reaches out to a thread nearby. But I couldn't catch up. because before that, his consciousness gradually darkened.

Not long after that.

Ferda's consciousness is completely severed.
