The Skill Maker

He woken with fear.

Despite the harsh breathing, the heart feels cold. I get chills all over my body. The breath is frosty and embroidered in the air. As expected, I had that dream again today.

The nightmare of Beigrit's second planet.

[Again...] [Another...] Goddamn it...! Goddamn it...! Damn it!]

In a dream, he killed precious people with his own hands.

He became the faithful dog of his master and killed those who were so dear to him with his own hands. Did anyone say that no one can escape from their past? Surely the nightmare was still eating into its own mind.

Even though you have obtained the power of [boldness], you can hardly free yourself from this pain. No wonder the memories of those days were deeply imprinted to the depths of his soul. To the point where even the power of brainwashing cannot completely erase everything.

There's no way I can get rid of it.

That can't be possible.

And don't shake it off.

[Slap...! Slap...!]

Armudor.

a hateful Armudor

A creature who robbed and took away everything of his own. An ability of transcendental goods with the overwhelming power of the universe. Even at this moment, it was casting a dark chain over its heart.

[Please let go of me now...! Please! Please let me go!] I wish I had suffered this much! Please! Please!]

wailing wailingly

He burst into tears and burst into a feeling of emotion.

Ever since the full moon night when everyone was dead, he would always have the same nightmare. But he didn't know. I didn't even know why the dream came so painful.

but

Now I know. Now I know everything.

[Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!] Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

Biklid struggling with tears of blood.

But it's okay. There's no one here but yourself anyway. This wailing never leaks out. Loneliness and pain are all their own. a grudge against one's own weakness

grief over the irrevocable past

Even his hatred of Azmudor.

[Amudor...!] Armudor...! Armudor! Armudor! Armudor...!]

a face contorted with pain and anger

a sweaty, wetting with sweat

a body trembling with rage

Biklid clutched his own head.

The time axis of Kandulas was steadily being restored at this moment. What if the transcendent who's holding himself up wakes up? Maybe he'll lose all his memory once again. I wish I hadn't known the truth. I wish I had been brainwashed by Armudor until the end.

[Sighs...!] Hmph...!]

Biklid slowly scratched his own face with his fingernails, and wailed very slowly and repeatedly, as if savoring all this pain.

A low moan similar to that of an animal.

Yeah, it's all right. Compared to this hatred, the pain that nightmares bring is nothing. No, rather, this pain was the only proof that he was not the commander of the army who followed Armudor, but was truly himself.

So it's all right.

So now I can bear it.

For one moment to stab him in the heart.

[Huck...! Huck...!]

Biklid slowly lifted up his blood-stained face with the flesh ripped off. Then he stood up completely from his seat and approached the mirror.

The last survivor of the Tribe. The face of a foolish traitor is reflected in the mirror. I think of my father's last appearance. He saw himself brainwashed by Armudor and gave up everything. He was told that he was confined in the dark and later killed.

Tribe?

He killed them all with his own hands.

He killed with his own hands, not himself.

He killed all himself who became Armudor's dog.

Mother, beloved brothers, and even siksols.

Bad prank. Too bad a nightmare.

Armudor smiled and looked merrily at the figure, and he continued to follow his orders and move like a puppet. And ever since, I have served Armudor countless dark years.

but

Let 's fall asleep with the clock ticking.

Only then did the fetters of the mind loosen and free from the brainwashing.

And the price is... It was to retrieve the memory.

[Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...! Argh! Armudorhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!]

Biklid burned his eyes.

In order to truly be free from this nightmare, we had no choice but to kill Armudor. But by what means? His power was so feeble to correct everything. What would he have said to himself if he were alive? What should he do in the future?

[Father...! Father...! Father...!]

Biklid cried bitterly.

Recalling the face of a man who was most respected than anyone else in the world.

And reproaching his own weakness for destroying it all.

Pluto and I continued to march north, visiting every city that existed on the way. The mainland of the Kandulas planet system was so huge that cities were everywhere, and that was the only way we passed.

exotic cities peculiar to the mainland with varied topography and culture And by showing up in all those places one by one, I was able to make a wide disclosure of the existence of the kahamas, and receive massive cheers from the citizens.

[......]

Why the hell are you doing such a nuisance?

Isn't it a waste of time to just head straight to the temple where the restoration of the temporal axis is under way? If you think so, it is simply a gross miscalculation.

In fact, there were exactly three reasons for our current behavior.

I'll explain briefly from now on, so listen carefully.

First reason.

It was to downgrade the mainland atmosphere, which was accelerating day by day.

What the hell does that mean?

In other words, it is possible to calm the atmosphere of the war, which is raging due to the death of the kahama, by explaining that the kahama was alive.

As I have explained before, the mainland was now in a state of complete chaos due to the death of the 10th Army Commander. The followers of Armudor were furious that they might have lost their God's apostles, and were boiling like volcanoes, shouting that all the men of power should be exterminated at once.

And even some of the troops have gone beyond the mountains and attacked the cities of the mighty. The situation could be seen as a mere flashpoint. a flash of lightning

But what if Kayama's survival is known in this situation?

What if the 10th Corps Commander wasn't dead?

Of course, their will to war will be crushed as if they poured cold water on them. In this case, we'll have plenty of time for the people of the Resistance. Now, you all understand, right?

Well, let's say the first one is.

This time, I will explain the second reason.

Well, if I were to explain this, I would need a little prior explanation. The second reason is that it is closely related to the different territories of the commanders of the armed forces. The land around here that I'm constantly passing by. These huge areas could be seen as part of the sphere of influence controlled by the Khahamas. In short, all of this is a land ruled by the kahamanians.

But what the hell did that do?

Think about it.

Let's say the kahama is really dead.

So who the hell would be the owner of this territory?

Of course, after a while, this place will be incorporated into the sphere of influence of other military commanders. Perhaps some of the corps leaders were already eyeing the territory of the Khahamas. Maybe that's the purpose of Belferna, whom we met a few days ago.

In other words, by once again notifying me that I am alive within the sphere of influence in Kahama, I will naturally be able to defend the territory of the 10th Army Commander from other commanders. Well, I don't care who this belongs to or what kind of crazy things they' Anyway, for now, it is better for me to "control" all the power of the kahama myself.

If it doesn't directly violate the laws of Armudor, everyone in the sphere of influence can jump into hell on my orders.

I think the second reason is explained now.

Lastly, I will explain the third one as simply as possible.

It was because of money.

That's a lot of money.

[Give it to me.]

"Dude, I'll give it to you."

[No need!]

After tasting enough money in the first fort.

Since then, I have been moving north continuously, eating only large amounts of money, without even looking for a small sum of money.

a name for

And none of the faithful in Armudor disobeyed my orders disguised as the commander-in-chief, Kahama.

The name of the apostle appointed by Armudor is absolute.

"Huh... here you are."

"It's a little bit less, but please accept our sincerity."

"Please win the war."

aristocrats and church lords who fill pockets with mustard, robbing their own money.

That's how I was able to keep earning a huge amount of money by just a few words. What the hell is this? Is this the time to raise money? Uhh! Didn't you explain the two real reasons before?

Left hand... No, the third reason is just help.

Hunter, of course, should earn while he can. Besides, at first glance, I may seem crazy about money, but there is a good reason for this as well.

"Then take a look."

"May Armudor's care rest in the way of the great Kahama..."

"Please sweep away the men of ability as soon as possible."

I had no choice but to grin at the rapidly growing funds.

It's so easy to make money.

Anyway, there's nothing you can't do in this town that you can't be a general.

Except for the fact that the bastards kept sending lizard women to wait on this side, everything that came this far was sheer smoothness.

Aren't you overreacting?

Isn't that too much of the attention of the other generals if you pull the money out of the ATM?

No, I don't really worry about those parts.

If it's a kahama, it's normal for the character to show this level of greed. Besides, this is the territory of Kahama anyway. There are not so many other military commanders as to tackle the issue of exploitation related to other people's territory.

Moreover, this decision was also made after looking into the library of knowledge.

There's no problem. Pluto said she'd be fine.

"I feel reassured to see you preparing for the war."

"I'm so happy to be a part of the great apostle's future!"

"Give the abominable men a repugnant withdrawal."

idiots who say good things after losing money

I burst into laughter at the sight.

That's ridiculous. Is this the only dog in Armudor?

It's ridiculous to give money without thinking about it.

A soldier who carries out orders thoroughly is certainly scary.

It is also true that their madness is extraordinary.

But soldiers who think for themselves are scarier than that.

There's nothing more powerful than a soldier who thinks and worries.

Much more than a bunch of puppies.

So I didn't just think that the future of competent people was so dark.

Even if there is an all-out war with the mainland in the worst case scenario.

Anyways, let's stop the noise.

[12.35 trillion Krun...] Hahaha. I like it very much.]

I counted my money and grinned.

Ah, it's so much fun to be called Ggongdon.

Besides, I have a little over a trillion won in estwalde.

In just a week after coming to this town, he ripped off 12 trillion won worth of land.

Wow! That's like a bomb.

I'm a genius, of course.

Isn't that a little too vicious?

Isn't he a complete thief?

Oh, never get me wrong.

It's not just because I'm crazy about money.

It's not like I'm venting my anger because my heart is pierced by Belferna.

This is also a big picture to pressure the enemy's capital to eventually weaken the fighting power of Armudor.

It's supposed to cost money to go to war.
