Haroon

Rump Oak Ritual

Harun returns to Beyond and leaves the mines after two hours of messenger walking. Since I have a higher understanding of Mana, the amount of Mana absorbed through my feet has increased quite a bit.

However, the experience of travelling around this minefield made it easy to find a place that was familiar to Koemguild. A well-stocked stream pierces the mines. It is the stream of red water containing iron.

“Oops!”

Harun grunts without even knowing it.

It was a miserable scene on either side of the stream. The camping equipment, vessels and weapons were scattered across quite a wide area. Moreover, there were many torn clothes and armor everywhere.

At first glance, a vast area, where more than a thousand people lived, was devastated.

There are signs of enchanted gunfire everywhere. And there were massive holes dug all over, and there were torn clothes and weapons in them, and they were discolored.

‘The Iron Snake attacked on a massive scale. ’

I couldn't only interpret it like that.

Harun, who was looking at the vastness of the area, could see some of the young Iron Snakes were dead. Some were skinned half as badly as if they were going to slaughter, and one looked like it was all burned up.

Is it the baby? ’

It could be.

The cubs must have caused adults to attack the users or to protect their territory. Of course, only those who stayed here and died.

Harun put three corpses of Iron Snake cubs in the subspace just in case. The best medicine came from the idea that even the youngsters could get good money.

‘But what is this pit? It's not magic.’

Harun, who searched the pit, noticed that it had been dug by some enormous force.

Do you have a tail? Hmm. Maybe……. ’

The tip of the Iron Snake's tail, which initially tried to eat itself, looks like a ball of thorns. The tail of the Iron Snake, which has the intermediate shape of a snake and a lizard, looks like an enormous striking weapon.

Harun has been circling the area for some time, collecting items left by the deceased users. Most of them were poisoned by Iron Snake, but Harun who took the antidote was not poisoned.

Since so many users have died in the battlefield, more than 2300 items have been recovered, but I don't know if I can sell them because of the buried poison. Anyway, I had no time to check the item's information and put it into the discovering tribal subspace.

-Doxicated, deals 10 damage per second.

"Damn! I didn't poison myself, but the antidote didn't last more than 30 minutes. ’

Harun takes the antidote again and quickly finishes the job. After taking one more antidote, putting all the noticeable items into the subspace.

Harun makes his way from the wretched battlefield.

There's a teleport scroll that the current gave me, but I can't use it. One more quest left. I forgot, but I promised to bring Rump Orc Horns to Leather Master Tarim.

‘By the way, too much time has been delayed. I'm glad the crew is enjoying their training. ’

I was scheduled to leave for a month, but it's already been a month. After watching the crew enjoy their training, I thought it wouldn't be a big hit because it was too late. I liked to go quickly if I could.

I've already been here once, so moving alone will save me a lot of time.

Harun now works the Messenger Walking Phase 3 Fly Walk. We gave up Mana's accumulation and decided to move at a fast pace.

Pa!

Harun's body leans forward and protrudes like a tidal wave. Suddenly, the surrounding objects start to swoop by.

The terrain of the road that had already passed once had been remembered in Harun's head. Thanks to you, I moved slowly to bring the Koem Guild.

Harun runs for about half an hour and releases his strength from his feet, hurrying to hit the ground. There was a great scream coming from somewhere.

Who is it?

Harun sees where the sound is coming from. A huge cliff, reflected in the sunlight, shines through the distant shoulder mountains. In the middle of the cliff, a huge stream of water, rising through the rock, falls hundreds of meters below.

A few rainbows created by the waterfall were creating a truly fantastic sight, combined with sunny cliffs and towering waterfalls. The last time I was here, I couldn't see it because of the bad climate and the fog.

However, I could not comfortably watch the spectacle. At the bottom of the misty waterfall lies a vast meadow.

There were many creatures gathered in the meadow, but the distance was too far for us to know who they were.

Who is it?

You hear drums and other instruments like trumpets. If I thought this place was the Hookran Mountains, I wouldn't have thought they were human. Then it is a monster. It is assumed to be an Orc, an intelligent entity that uses musical instruments.

Harun decides to go there, even though he's in a hurry.

It takes quite a while to get to the nearby hillside ridge overlooking the unfamiliar flywalk.

“Huff!”

Looking down, Harun is frightened.

“Oh, my God!"

An immeasurable number of Rump Orcs have gathered in the meadow below the cliff. The majority of them wear defense gear and carry refined weapons, looking like well-trained knights. They had the same rigour as the knights who waited for the fever.

In front of an army of tens of thousands of Rump Orcs, there is a massive rock. On top of that, special Rump Orcs were gathering to perform an event, which appeared to be chieftains and priests in most of their outfits.

“Huh! What about them? ”

A large, wide rock surrounded by a rainbow made by a waterfall brought down from the waterfall brings humans together in a bind. More than 50 of them were NPC knights, not users.

Why are they here? ’

Harun wonders, and the Rump Orc Bandit claps and blows his instrument, just below the rock. At that moment, the warriors who were watching and waiting for the rock shouted in unison.

“Paneeek!”

The roar of tens of thousands of Orcs crashed into the cliffs and spread to all sides. Harun suddenly gives me the creeps. The moment I heard that scream filled with pure warrior speculation, I felt trembling and horror in my hair.

It was a start.

Warriors handed by Orcs in long, splendid leather clothing who look like priests dragged human knights bound in limbs to the altar of Round Rock. The centre of the boulder has a large hole, which makes it look very mysterious.

“Chuel! Chuel! Chuel!”

At that moment, Rump Orcs filled with meadows began to beat together, and it was a passionate reaction that you could feel from a long distance.

“Huff!”

An Orc standing next to a rounded rock places a knight on a rounded rock and cuts off his head with a giant axe. The head of the knight who fell off the axe because there was no preliminary action still seemed to have a suspicious look on his face.

“Chuen nu. In the pancake ark. Chukraku!”

The Orc, who looks like a priest, chants a strange rhyme, and red blood spits out like fog from the sliced section of the knight's body. The red blood mist begins to be drawn into a small hole in the center of the rounded rock.

The process was instantaneous, and the knight, who had peeled off his armor and internal medicine and was almost naked, quickly collapsed into the hole with all the fluid in his body. The knight who was left with only the hide and bones, lost his sturdy appearance and became a mummy.

“Ahhhh!”

The knights watching the scene glow, but their restraints are not loosened. For a long time, more than fifty knights were sacrificed in turn, and all the fluid was taken away in a small hole and turned into mummies.

By the time the last knight became a mummy, the mood of the Rump Orcs gathered in the meadow had almost changed. Starting with the screamer, I saw the man who was mourning, dancing, or attacking the companion next to me, and I became completely disordered.

Rump Orc, who cut the knights' heads off, shouts.

“Pancakes!”

The mountain screams so loudly that the orcs flee from the frenzy for a moment.

With three sharply raised horns, the Orc, who appears to be almost a anamfatha, suddenly opens his hands to his chest and stabs his nails.

Immediately, a large amount of blood gushed from the chest like a fountain, but the orc seemed to feel no pain at all.

“Chuel! Chuel! Chuel!”

While the orcs gathered in the meadows again screaming at the beat, the orcs plucked out their hearts, as they plunged their hands deep into their chests. An Orc with a hot heart still beating in his hand, as if he was possessed by something, ascends to a round rock.

“Chuekqua. Chuekqueer. Chukraqua. Chuel! ”

Along with the priest's spell, the orc bows its heart in reverence and throws it into a small hole.

Hrrrrrrr!

A lump of light rises from the hole, which looks like a red flame. The red light rises higher and higher with the priest's spell. A ball of light, completely out of the hole, gathers together in the middle of the air and begins to turn slowly.

The frenzied sounds and spells disappeared in an instant. The eyes of all the Orcs turn to the floating sphere (Lump of Light).

Whirlyric!

As if searching for something for a moment, the Red Knuckle Belt , which was moving around in the air, quickly moves toward the mountain with Harun, making its tail in the right direction.

The hot gaze of all the Orcs follows the trajectory of Gwang-gu.

It's here. ’

Harun looks at the red minefield coming straight at him, panicking and jumping down the rock in front of him. However, the speed at which the photovoltaic sphere flew was much faster than he expected. Before he could jump, Gwang-gu swallowed him up.

Gwang-gu wraps around his body and emits a flurry of light.

I wanted to scream, but I couldn't move. It was like my whole body was frozen, trapped in a basketball. It felt, you know, hot and clean.

Suddenly, it was only when the surrounding objects came in that the mysterious red sphere surrounding his body that he had disappeared.

“Where did he go? ”

I looked around my body several times, but I couldn't find anything wrong with my armor or or body. It disappeared in an instant.

After studying it a few more times, Harun makes sure nothing changes, then climbs back up to the rock. I was curious about the sympathy of the Orcs.

“What, what? ”

You see Rump Orcs swarming through the meadow, rushing towards the mountain like locusts. As if he had found himself. In front of them were Orcs with three horns on their heads.

Orcs, especially those who look like priests, were floating around in the air without making fun of their feet.

Harun starts running, thinking nothing. The Fly Walk, a naturally messenger-walking three-step skill, has begun to unfold. Numerous Rump Orcs climbed the mountain, teasing both legs vigorously, but they could not keep up with Harun's speed, flying like a bird.

Harun sped for over two hours. Meanwhile, two high mountains, a valley, and a small stream of water. It's twice as fast as usual, but Harun doesn't even realize that he's come so far.

At first, an enormous number of Orcs were overwhelmed by the rush towards them, but at some point, they couldn't stop because they were fascinated by the wind or the flying back.

Harun stopped when he was ahead of a canyon.

“Oops!”

Harun narrows his eyebrows. Truly, a terrible sight came into view. In a narrow, tall canyon lies a large number of human corpses. The knights who were so badly messed up that they couldn't find the bodies with the proper limbs were scattered with broken weapons and armor.

While they were different knights when they entered Fuchran, they were chased by predators and monsters, and the rest of their strategic allies were attacked by Rump Orcs here. The corpses of Rump Orcs are also seemingly dull between the knights' corpses.

I don't know what it's for, but the knights sacrificed to the Rump Orcs' ritual must have been taken prisoners in battle here.

Instinctively, Harun turned around and took out the Catlat Scaffold and began cutting Rump from the dead. Cutting horns from the head of a Rump Orc without any resistance is not difficult. Harun already has the ability to inject a small amount of Mana into his master.

“Wait! We should take these, too. ”

Harun began to look for useful items that were loaded with weapons and knights.

No matter how old the knight looked, he found a magical pouch full of potions and money, and he was able to retrieve three magical bags of dried blood.

"But what happened to me? ’

Harun suddenly found himself wandering among the horrific corpses with organs sticking out of his body or limbs falling out, but not much shock or fear. All I could think about was being too gross and feeling sorry for him.

Is it because you're not the same human? Or is it because you're in the game? ’

I had a lot to take care of, but I didn't want to wait anymore because of the strange feeling about myself.

Harun prayed for the blessings of the knights and Rump Orcs who had given him precious things even after he died, and summoned Liffy and buried them all in the ground.

Shortly after, Harun heard the sound of the trumpet.

Boom!

"Oh, my God! Did you chase him already? ’

I noticed Rump Orcs running from a distance that seemed to be caught in my hands. At this rate, you might just have to jump down until you cross the Seine. No, if there were any waiting in the middle, they could be surrounded.

‘Too bad I can't. ’

Harun quickly tore the teleport scroll out of his inventory. Then Harun's body disappeared in an instant with a bright light.

Shortly after arriving at the entrance of the missing canyon, the Rump Orcs kneel down to the place where Harun disappeared and shout desperately.
