Main Character Hides His Strength

68. The Perfect City (3)

Kim Sung-cheol's hand blade knocked out the feather.

The black feathers that fall off the ground turn white, and they are covered with black spots that twist away.

“That was close. ”

Marrakia said with her tongue out.

“What do you got? ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the feather on the floor and asked.

The small wings of Marrakia flap slightly.

“I think I got something. ”

Marrakia pulls a feather from her hand and throws it out the door.

Surprisingly, no reaction occurred to the feathers detached from his body.

“As you can see, the curse of extinction is an entity itself. ”

Marrakia continued:

“But the curse doesn't work in here. Breaker. What do you know about curses? ”

Marrakia looked up at Kim Sung-cheol and said.

Kim Sung-cheol folded his arms, touching the tip of his chin.

“I don't really know. Though I'm grateful for it. ”

“Clearly you have a nasty curse on you. ”

“It's my hobby to collect curses. ”

“What a hobby. By the way, curses have a similar diet to spelling. ”

“Similar to spelling? Come to think of it, there's no such thing. ”

In order for a curse to be established, there must be a cursed person and a cursed object, and that object must be able to be specific.

Therefore, those who are thrown into the veil of life roar, "Curse the heavens!” A commercial phrase has no effect whatsoever.

Even from heaven's perspective, it will be amazing. What the fuck are you cursing me for?

Curses on certain areas of the land are possible, on the other hand. You're only as good at being strong as you can be.

The curse of extinction is God's curse, so the range of the curse is crazy throughout the continent.

The target is every intelligent person in the entire continent who has not reached the age of twenty.

The effects of the curse must be fatal.

But there is no curse here in the greenhouse.

Marrakia analyzed the cause:

“There are two possibilities. One is that this realm does not extend from the curse of God. In other words, it is a potential area that is hidden from the eyes of God. That's where our kingdom went underground in the past. ”

“You mean the safe zone you mentioned before? ”

Marakia nodded at Kim Sung-cheol's question.

“Yes. At first I thought so. But living here, I opened my eyes to the second possibility and began to recognize it. ”

“What? What's the second possibility? ”

Marakia stared at the night sky beyond the wide open door and said in a unique, cold tone.

“Ridiculous, but even God's power seems to be nullified here. ”

“ ……. ”

There was a deep wrinkle in Kim Sung-cheol's forehead.

Marrakia stares at him and says,

“The status window won't open here. ”

Kim Sung-cheol immediately opened his status window.

It won't open.

It is clear that the divine force flowing through the body is intact, but there is no means to indicate it.

Although it often happens in the conclusion of dreams, or in the unique realm, it is at least unlikely that it will happen in this realm of reality.

“That's odd.”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

“Then I stared at this second possibility. And I'm going to test it. ”

Marrakia spreads her little wings wide.

“Push me out again. ”

“It could be dangerous.”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, Marakir tapped his chest with a smile as confidently as he could.

“I am the king of Nahaq. Fearless. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol raised Marrakia.

Bertelgia watches it mutter beside her.

“What... are you trying to do? ”

“To see if this is the second possibility. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said so and pushed Marakia back out again.

To get his wings off the greenhouse again.

However, when the wings touched the outside end, Marakir grabbed Sung-cheol's wrist and said urgently.

“Wait, slow down. Just a little bit.”

“Got it.”

“If you have a problem, cut it immediately. ”

“I've heard a lot of people say they don't know fear. ”

“Curse the extinction once. I wonder if it'll be like me. ”

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly pushed out Marakia, who was talking nonsense.

A part of the wing comes out of the greenhouse.

“Grrrgh!”

At the same time, the feathers coming out of the protected area began to turn white.

“Now!”

Marrakia exclaims.

Kim Sung-cheol pulled Marakia back into the greenhouse while simultaneously pulling a sharp dagger out of the soul vault.

“Khhh...! ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the white discolored areas that appeared like stains on Marrakia's wings.

in order to cut right away if it spreads or gets worse.

Marrakia stands still as Nahaq's king despite the horrific pain she feels and accepts it silently.

A horrific time of toil.

After a while, something miraculous happened.

Normally, black spots appear on white-bleached areas and necrosis is normal, but the opposite has happened here.

The white discolored area was slowly recovering to its original black color.

“Hehehe... I see my boldness and the triumph of knowledge, like the Hahae. ”

Marrakia laughs low, checking her health. But a newborn little body. Soon the limit has come.

Marrakia falls unconscious.

“Heave-ho!”

Bertelkia stands behind Marrakia, about to collapse. The big Bertelgia had the weight of being left to fend for the small Marrakia alone.

“Khh... useful book, too. ”

Marrakia strokes her beak and says,

“What a mess for second place. ”

Bertelkia lets Marrakia rebuild herself as a lever, despite her restlessness.

Kim Sung-cheol hid Marrakia in his arms again and went back to his room.

The servant girls' gaze was pierced towards Kim Sung-cheol's lower abdomen.

As soon as he entered the room, Kim Sung-cheol sat down on the chair selling Marrakia.

“I guess you're right. ”

“Yes. Indeed, even a god's curse can be broken here." ”

Hearing that, Kim Sung-cheol recalled the story he had heard from Vestiaret.

‘Vestiaret. I take it you're not talking about bluffing. ’

Kim Sung-cheol told Marakia the story of the former Princess of Ixion.

Here, the new Ixion serves Achin Sydney, and Achin can defeat even the curse of God in this city in return.

Marakia sometimes accepted Vestiaret's story in her own way, questioning or refuting Kim Sung-cheol's words.

What he was most suspicious about was the subject under the curse of extinction.

“According to a woman named Vestiaret, the condemned object of extinction is not a god, but an agent of a lesser god. Is there any evidence or evidence to prove this? I have never heard of it. about that. ”

“But that's how even the power of a god could undo your body's curse. ”

In Kim Sung-cheol's words, Marakia nodded appropriately.

“Of course, there's no evidence that the curse of extinction came from God. It's just one story that has been told between generations and generations. ”

He looks up, his eyes flashing as if he had remembered something.

“Has Asin come to this land? ”

Kim Sung-cheol shook his head.

“I haven't heard such a story. ”

“But it is true that the power of Asin is manifesting on this land. If my prediction is correct….”

Marakia turned white and muttered as she stroked her hand to retract the corner of her left wing, returning its original color.

“There's going to be a massive artifact somewhere in the land. ”

“How do you know that? ”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, Marakia spread her folded wings and smiled lonelily and replied.

“Our joints tried the same thing. I don't know what happened. ”

When Kim Sung-cheol heard that, he remembered the corpses of the myriad of cave elves buried in the walls of the Joined Kingdom underground.

Marrakia continued:

“Acolytes who have crossed over to another world cannot have unconditional influence over this world. There has to be a price. ”

“Is it…? ”

“I know what you know, but I'll tell you. It's a human soul."

“A human soul. ”

It is unimaginable in Ixion, the city of perfection. However, there is a story I heard from Claris a while ago.

The story that Earth-Paradise Ixion is drawing people from Lagranje and pushing them into a settlement village facility.

‘It turned out that the number of people in the city was too small. ’

The incredible prosperity of Ixion is simply inexplicable by the power of Bestiare and Giants.

But the story is different if there is someone's sacrifice behind it.

“Do you have a point? ”

Marrakia rests comfortably on her chair and asks.

“There's a place I can think of. ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded and stiffened his heart, remembering the face of the woman who was singing with a bright face on the stage.

‘That's where she is. Something must be happening. ’

The next destination has been determined.

“Let me check on that first. I will face the curse of extinction in my own way. ”

The eyes of Marrakia were full of will.

It was because I saw one possibility that it might not be God's curse.

A string of hope that you can lift the curse of extinction from your body and your entire family.

“You're free to come in, but you're not going out. ”

The guard blocked Sung-cheol Kim from leaving the city.

“You'll need to bring Markorade's permission slip. ”

The guards were stubborn despite knowing Kim Sung-cheol's notoriety.

There was an absolute reason that Marker Raid's name or Kim Sung-cheol didn't look more scared than I thought, but Kim Sung-cheol didn't want to cause any problems here.

He steps back and looks for Marker Raid.

Markorade is situated in the town hall next to the Palace of Vestiaret.

“What are you doing here? ”

Marker Raid smiled and looked at the important part of Kim Sung-cheol.

“… trying to get out of the city. ”

“Why? ”

Markorade has been asking questions like frostbite.

“I forgot something in the Witch's Forest. ”

“Witch's Forest...? ”

The name of the Witch's Forest is the strongest marker, but it can't be traced back to it.

The people of the east knew all about them and their neighbor, a witch named Adelweit, and they heard about how she was hurting people and how she had been nailed to their ears since childhood.

“Ah, that woman. You were close to the witch, I take it? ”

“I can't say I'm close. Anyway, I'll be back in two days. I'm not leaving the city. There's no reason to leave. ”

“Feel free to be alone for a while. You are a guest, not a prisoner of Ixion. ”

Kim Sung-cheol, who had obtained the Marker Raid permit, headed back to the front gate. The guard checks Markorade's signature and is willing to open the door.

There, Kim Sung-cheol was able to once again confirm that Markaraid is the person in charge of the city.

‘Vestiares only reigns and she holds the power of the city. ’

Kim Sung-cheol hid his face from the horizon.

Out of the sight of the Watchers.

Kim Sung-cheol turned 180 degrees as the darkness of the night drifted away from the earth spider.

I noticed the perfect city shining in the moonlight from afar.

Kim Sung-cheol secretly returned to the side along the city.

A small city, hidden in a circular city square, appeared. A small city surrounded by its own square wall, unlike Ixion.

Kim Sung-cheol at a glance discovered that it was a settlement village. He cautiously moves toward the settlement village, keeping watch.

I wonder how far they've gone.

Another settlement reveals itself in the dark.

Kim Sung-cheol will soon face a great surprise.

Behind the walls of Ixion, there were dozens of settlements on the vast plains facing west.

“Huh? There are so many cities like that box? ”

Bertelgia noticed something strange and opened her mouth suddenly.

“Something is happening in this city, as Marrakia has said. ”

Each settlement is completely separated by a wall.

And beyond the walls surrounding the settlement village, there was no energy of life.

It's just that there are so many murderous golems lurking in the dark waiting for intruders.

Jubbuck.

Hearing Kim Sung-cheol's movements, the decades-old golems flashed red in unison.

At the same time, a myriad of sorcerers appeared flashing from the sky and poured out a small Vestiaret.
