Reincarnator

Taejin looks at the colossal Democratic Castle from afar and looks at the steps in front of him.

"You've never seen that dagger before."

Hansoo said with a smile.

"I bought a new one."

Dagger and sickle.

In a single waist dance, there was a shiny dagger that I had never seen before.

A blade, about 30 cm long, of a slightly longer shape for a dagger.

It's a dagger that's hanging around his thighs right now, but that felt different.

'... set artifact?'

I saw it in the catalog.

< Definition of Decratos >

Artifact that can be used in conjunction with the Judge of Decratus to achieve the best effect.

It's gonna be hard to write.

I thought he only uses weapons with chain sickles and difficulties.

I can't say I'm good at it.

Plus, I had a lot of unusual things.

"What's with the pouch?"

When people were roasting weird plants on their way because they had nothing to eat, their pockets popped up without rest.

And I didn't envy the quality of the food that comes out of it because it's the quality of the plants that they cook.

"You really can't go up there with me?"

Now, as you look at the giant crystal approaching you, you ask Taejin in a sad voice.

Hansoo smiled.

"Follow me if you want to follow. We don't have to take him. We're not stopping him."

At that, Taejin shakes his head.

I want to follow, but I am not alone.

We got to know each other a little better when we fought, and then we had a chance to talk.

I could tell when I had a conversation like that.

It wasn't for any other reason that he was trying to get stronger.

Just one.

To get into more dangerous places.

Even his clans are strong, but if we follow him, the pile will lead to casualties.

I didn't want to be that strong.

The goal of becoming strong is to comfort the clan, because the means and purpose have changed.

'Well, I'll see you again sometime.'

They regained some stamina and carefully entered Marathon Castle.

The interior of the Castle was empty.

And deep down, deep down, there was a red crystal.

'Are you... still not working?'

The crystal's sensitivity was too dull to make it work.

In front of such crystals, and in the middle of the vast square that seemed to be enough to accommodate a thousand survivors, there stood a fierce statue.

Is that the Demon King? '

As the clan lords frown at the statue, Thailand approaches from afar.

Taejin frowned at him.

'I don't like him.'

But I have to admit, it's a necessity like this.

His clan boasts the most powerful force here.

Thailand approaches the clan lords and opens their mouths.

"I have an offer. We came together to the final gate one day. Maybe if I break that statue, the crystal will work."

Then Thailand looks at the giant statue from afar and opens her mouth to the roads.

"Let's be honest, we all have seven to eight mini crystals, right? This is definitely not a large amount, but it is a very sufficient amount to conserve power."

Everyone nods.

The number of Mini Crystals varies depending on their Contribution Points, but is essentially the number of Crystals that can carry about forty people up.

This was not a number that was insufficient to recall from.

Not to mention forty to the judge who can go up and collect ten right now and gain a clear advantage over the others.

It's a very difficult number to deal with if not for the same clan road.

Looking at them, Thailand threw a very straightforward word.

"I'll be perfectly honest with you. In fact, in my case, I want to kill all the others. And so will the rest of your friends."

"... maybe it's too honest."

"Let's be honest."

Everyone wept over it.

Even if it's not that blatant, it's certainly true that if there are fewer forces in other clans.

Who would like to see their potential competitors in a world where fairies compete and manipulate without ever trying?

We may have to go up there and kill each other right now.

And the eleven clans, apart from their clans, were fearsome enough, and it's only a matter of time before they regret it.

Everyone wants to do it without being so direct.

May others weaken their power in the battle of the final gate.

Thailand looked at those who agreed and said an additional word.

"But I don't think you should. We hated each other so much, but we came all the way here together because we were in the same boat. That's how much we need each other. In order to break through the gate and climb up, we must join forces with all our heart power."

"What do you want to say?"

Thailand smiled and said in Taejin's words.

"Simple. Let's all reduce risk and increase odds."

"...?"

"Everyone knows you haven't turned any of your crystals into artifacts in case of an emergency. Of course, so am I."

"..."

"But think about it. How pathetic is this? The power of our clan alliance is greatly enhanced just by turning the crystal into an artifact. On the contrary, even if you have a crystal, you will lose your combat strength. Emergency exits are always open. Besides, we don't know when the guy next to us is going to back off, so we can't fight him right. This could really kill them all. It's genocide."

"Well..."

Taejin wept.

He doesn't like Thailand, but there was nothing wrong with that one word.

Obviously, in order to deal with the giant statue in front of you and the Demon King, you need to replace all of their crystals with artifacts.

At least one survivor will be increased.

But the reason they're holding the crystal is because they seem anxious.

This crystal is an obvious escape route.

Seeing them like that, Thailand cried out loudly and offered.

"So I propose. Let's turn the crystals we're all holding into artifacts. Of course, it's the owner's heart that turns into what artifact, but don't leave a single crystal behind."

"Hmmm..."

"Hum..."

"This means to eliminate the exit. If there's one thing left, Clan Lord might just run out on himself and send the rest of the clans out to do something crazy. Even if you leave your body, you may think that if you wipe out all the thousand people here, you will be able to buy more business."

"..."

"Ah. For the record, I'm one of them. Do you believe in my clan?"

It's definitely not impossible.

I don't know how strong that statue is, but if a thousand people have to fight with all their might, even if only a hundred of them do crazy things, it is incredibly lethal.

You can literally bury all the bones here, except for the five people who are getting out on a mini crystal.

"... too honest."

"Thank you. On the contrary, if I don't have any crystals left, I can't do that. That just means we're all gonna die. I don't want to die like that. Once your realm is set up and your clan does their best to fight in it, you will not be left behind. All you have to do is do your best in your own defense."

"Who could have hidden the crystal?"

Thailand shakes her head.

"You can't hide the number of crystals because you know each other so well. If we agree, let's buy and show each other things. Comparing the number of crystals distributed to each other with the price of items in the catalogue, you can't hide the number of crystals you have left."

"Hmm…"

Everyone began to think about it.

The number of crystals that came out was clear, since the Horses didn't come out too strong or run the Special Forces together.

A situation in which we can't sneak around and hunt all together, so we know exactly how many crystals there are.

With that said, it is possible to determine the number of crystals without one exception.

It is fundamental to have enemies like that in front of your eyes, reducing anxiety as much as possible and reinforcing power.

As they looked at them, Thailand threw an additional word.

"Think about it. Do you think they designed the difficulty level to keep you from winning? No matter how much the fairy likes to kill us, you wouldn't have to do this annoying thing if you were basically going to seize us like that. You just have to kill him."

"Well..."

"That means that if we join forces, we can win. That way, more people can survive than escape with mini crystals. If you agree, I'll change it first."

Everyone thinks about it and nods.

Then we bought the artifacts one by one and started showing them to each other.

"I am the Thorn Coffin."

"I am the messenger of the Ariadne..."

Thailand, who had checked one by one, was satisfied.

"Fine. I am the cloak of the Wasteland Monarch. This is eight crystals. You all know I got eight... and you have exactly 59 of them."

"... 59."

Everyone wept.

Together with the judgments of Decratus, which I bought before, there are 119 crystals.

I knew it, but once again I was tired of checking it.

Hansoo smiles and looks up at the dagger hanging from his waist.

"It's written here. The Justice of Decratos."

Thailand carefully examined the number of daggers, then nodded with a satisfied look.

"I have four left... but is there anything else I can buy?" "

Hansoo thought about it for a moment and shaken his head.

Thailand laughed as she looked at such a gesture.

"There's no reason for you to go up there. You'd better keep it."

'Well, you're staying here for a reason anyway.'

Thailand laughed inside.

If he was going up there to keep me safe, he was going up there anyway.

Staying here so far means there's something to it.

If you don't get into a fight and say you want to make a mess or climb up there, you can't stop it.

It is better to ask them to hold the escape hatch and then actively fight.

"Well, at least we Clan Lords don't have any minicrystals left. Now we can focus on the enemy in front of us."

As soon as Thailand finished speaking, a huge statue stood up, shivering.

No, it wasn't a statue.

A living creature as stiff as a statue.

'It's been a while.'

The Demon King, Barbato.

Even though it's a pyrotechnical board, I can remember the guy I fought and beat to death for a long time.

Not a good memory, of course.

The number of human beings torn to shreds by his hands is over 100,000.

As Hansoo muttered to himself, Taejin cried out loudly at the Demon King.

"The common clans are drawn behind and focused on those with special forces, long distance, and recovery skills..."

Decision made because regular clans who are too difficult to fight the gatekeepers can be massacred if they are swept away in a battle with the Demon King.

It's not going to help if you can't keep up.

However, Taejin, who was chanting, realized that he didn't have to.

An enormous number of undead are starting to rise from the ground into a frenzy.

"Damn it... don't fall back! Cover me!" "

Without regular clans, you won't be able to stand up to the Demon King.

Soon, the Undead hit with an enormous surge of energy and the war broke out.

Then an elf appeared above them.

"Wow! Thousands of them are alive! Amazing! Now all I have to do is finish it. The first big crystal is that even if you choose the same island as your destination, your destination for mini crystals will be different from your destination for large crystals, so you don't have to worry about getting retaliated against. Heehee."

"..."

You don't have to worry about running off into the mini crystals in the middle of a fight, so you feel free to hit your head and run.

But everyone snorted.

They already don't have any minicrystals.

But the fairy's words are not finished.

"Just for the record, killing the Demon King over there isn't the only way for the crystal to work!"

"...?"

"The crystal will light up in 30 minutes. So that's all we have to do to survive?"

After saying that, the fairy disappeared, and as soon as the fairy disappeared, everyone was flawed.

Survive, not kill.

Then the clan that fights the most takes the most damage.

'Perfect, really.'

And Thailand laughed at the sight of everyone staggering on the battlefield.
