Chapter 401: Chapter 401

Episode 401. The Good Reason

Temple Allies.

Players, including the giant coalition, headed to Antonium, the capital of the empire. The reason was simple. At this point, Antonium was the only city that could be called a normal city.

Nam Tae-min licked his lips.

“There may be 4 families’ territories or cities of undisclosed powers, but… we don’t know if they’ll be kind to us, right? I don’t even know where it is.”

It’s not that the words don’t work.

You might as well put a knife to your throat.

It is that the weight is different from when the arcana is just a game.

Hisagi added.

“I miss the power of resurrection I’ve been hearing so much about.”

Arcana Continent Electric Age.

NPCs mentioned the power of resurrection whenever they met player adventurers.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that time, I didn’t know the value of it, so I felt like a scab would sit on my ear. It’s understandable when you’re in the same situation as them. Resurrection was truly a fraudulent power.

“The walls to come look strong.”

Continue.

Leonie raised her head and looked up at the walls of Antonium.

According to Ho-yeol, Antonium also went through a lot of ups and downs…

Hisagi evaluates it.

“Is it still an empire? You have potential.”

“I’m sure Master Harkon would be more than happy?”

“When did you say you were coming?”

“Considering the time difference, it will take a few more days.”

Harkon, Commander of the Lion Heart Knights.

Before Harkon entered the Arcana continent.

In reality, the final preparations were being completed.

Although he belonged to the Allied Crusade, he was still the Knights of the Lion Heart, the sword of the empire and the emperor.

Nam Tae-min said in a sad tone.

“It will be hard to see our teacher’s face often from now on, right?”

I learned about the scenery of the Arcana continent.

Even if it was a reality that suffered a lot of damage from the rift, the situation was incomparably better than the damage suffered by the Arcana continent.

The place where the Lion Heart Knights are truly needed is, of course, the Arcana Continent.

Harkon, who stepped on the Arcana continent, would never come back to reality.

Leonie replied bluntly.

“You’re extraordinary, like someone you’ve never seen before.”

“Because the portal opened.”

“You’re usually good, right? Taemin-kun.”

“Do you know a man’s heart?”

“I am a man too.”

“…Let’s not talk.”

As always.

It was the time when they were bickering and approaching the North Gate of Antonium.

member of the Great Alliance.

A player doing reconnaissance.

He received news he couldn’t believe.

“what? Is the north gate closed?”

“yes…! It’s not just the North Gate. According to a merchant staying in a village near Antonium, the south gate, west gate, and east gate of Antonium are completely sealed off!”

“What kind of crazy is that?!”

The Great Coalition was quick to deal with the embarrassing situation.

Telepathic items by all means and methods.

Reported the news of Antonium’s closure to allies in the Cloudy Territory.

“I’ll go back to reality right away and deliver the news to the Mage Tower!”

That’s how the news of Antonium became a reality.

However, time on the Arcana Continent is 4 times faster than in reality. Considering the time difference, and thinking of the weight of the burden Ho-yeol is carrying in reality…

Nam Tae-min cautiously opened his mouth.

“Do you think we should get some clues first?”

what can we do

Try to figure out the situation in Antonium through cooperation with the dwarves of the same temple alliance? I wanted to do it like a chimney, but the situation was not good.

Hisagi shakes her head.

“It’s not just one or two things to pay attention to on the continent.”

Haven’t you already experienced it?

The beings of the Demon Realm, their disparate and overwhelming destructive power.

Discus may be just the beginning.

should not have been overlooked.

The battle for the demon lord and the battle for the ten thrones have already begun.

It is impossible to take one’s eyes off [The Mouth of the Behemoth].

What if the Iron Castle, which protects the [Behemoth’s Mouth], is called to Antonium, and then the devil flows back from the Behemoth’s Mouth in the void?

“It’s something I hate to imagine.”

Nam Tae-min bites his lip.

“Is it best to just hope it’s not a big deal?”

But I can’t let go.

“For now, let’s all scatter and gather information.”

“Maybe it’s just a simple quest.”

“Did you hear? Call me if you find anything.”

Around Antonium, the villages that Hoyeol reversed were rebuilt. There must be people in that village who escaped from Antonium for different reasons and never returned.

“I hope something comes out.”

Although it was burdensome to disperse the troops.

It was unavoidable.

Besides, are there no reliable reinforcements in sight?

The Kürnberg Machine Tower.

“That mechanical tower was Akkshan’s secret weapon.”

“I can’t believe I went in and came out.”

“… Hey, what is that?”

Leonie’s brow furrowed.

“From then on, we cooperated in earnest with Mr. Hoyeol.”

“It’s a story I haven’t heard.”

“Why am I telling you that?”

Nam Tae-min and Hisagi both pretended not to hear. butthole itself. Rumors about Leonie’s intuition spread through the Berserker Guild members to the Great Alliance.

“No, look at that, you bastards.”

But this time it wasn’t.

“What are you looking for? Again, nothing special…”

“You just moved that one! It’s far away!!”

“…what?”

Knockin’ giggi—

“!!!”

Because it was seen by the eyes and heard by the ears.

It came from far north.

The sound of huge gears turning.

“The Kürnberg machine tower is moving!”

Crunches—

the ground vibrates and oscillates.

To compare it, it was as if the mechanical tower was starting to stomp.

What the situation meant was simple.

“Is this also due to jet lag? How many times do things happen?”

Akshan’s secret weapon.

To the extent that the Kürnberg machine towers started operating all at once.

quite an enemy.

That means the devil is coming from the north.

sereung.

The three guild masters of the Great Alliance shouted.

“Prepare for battle!”

“Evacuate the villagers first.”

“We need to make full use of the Kürnberg Machine Tower.”

The power of the giant coalition is scattered to collect information about Antonium. As Hisagi, the longed-for sage, had to use the Kürnberg Machine Tower as an ally and engage in battle.

It was then.

[Negative energy fluctuates.]

A message popped up in front of my eyes.

Guild Master Set.

And about twenty guild members were startled.

It was an unfamiliar message even to those who have gone through a lot of prenatal battles.

“For now, there is no abnormal condition!”

In the Arcana system, messages do not come to mind for nothing. Especially after the cataclysm. So, the fact that an unfamiliar message was printed means that it has its own weight.

[The demonic energy amplifies the instrument.]

“…!”

At that point, some noticed.

Suoh.

Dark clouds were hanging from the northern sky.

Yes, the current message was like the prologue.

To put it simply.

It was a grandiose production that was printed ahead of the appearance of a big player.

Leonie raised an eyebrow.

“What a great bastard you are.”

Before displaying the appearance message.

“Are you unnecessarily spoiling the atmosphere?”

Of course, such perverse questions did not last long.

Yes, at least the three guild masters in this position were experienced.

Hisagi’s snake eyes narrow even more.

“…This.”

I was used to it.

movement of clouds.

A feeling of pressure from the sky.

Eventually, even a howl that struck the eardrum.

“Crwwwwwwwa—!”

[The corrupted Bingryong Prosnax appears.]

The fallen old dragon Yunaxus.

And it was only after facing Prosnax that I found out.

The fact that there was not an inch of lies in Ho-yeol’s words.

“shit…!”

Didn’t Yunaxus say that he didn’t lose his pride even if he fell into an evil dragon? He was right. I could feel it from the screaming Dragon Fear.

[A status abnormal ‘submission’ occurs.]

[Your senses obey the King of all things.]

[Caution: You cannot control the body.]

[The King of all things wants your ‘death’.]

[ Life regeneration stops.]

[Magic regeneration stops.]…

“…Crazy.”

It was a blatant murder.

At this moment, the evil dragon that fell from the sky was screaming dragon fear with the determination to kill everything in sight. Fortunately, the players were in good shape.

Nam Tae-min gritted his teeth and looked away.

“Damn it…!”

The arcanas fainted with foam at the mouth, not having convulsions all over the body.

It was practically impossible to save them and run away.

The walls of Antonium, sealed off and tightly closed.

Unless Antonium opens the gates.

No matter where you run away.

No area is safe from rampaging evil dragons.

So, there was only one decision that could be made.

“Because it’s the second time, shouldn’t it be better than the first?”

Prosnax.

To hunt that fallen Bingryong.

Hisagi nodded and rolled her cool head.

‘I can’t ask for help from the commander-in-chief here.’

The time difference between the Arcana continent and reality.

Even if he delivered the news of Antonium.

Hoyeol must have a schedule.

Even if you had entered the Arcana Continent right away.

‘The vast Arcana continent.’

North of Antonium.

Unless you are in a position similar to them, you will not be able to immediately grasp the appearance of Prosnax. Hisagi’s gaze turned to the Kürnberg mechanical tower.

‘perhaps.’

even keep this in mind.

Did you place the Kürnberg Machine Tower near Antonium?

I couldn’t figure out what it meant, but that was what I was thinking.

Cheeky.

Near the top of the Kürnberg Machine Tower.

Chwwwww.

Countless silver needles sprouted from the cracks that separated the floors.

Is there no need to keep blood, tears, and order in front of the devil?

Further, because it is a machine.

Doesn’t shrink from status ailments or Dragon Fear?

Shu Shu Shu Shuk.

Immediately, countless silver needles were fired at the descending Prosnax. There are about a dozen Kürnberg Machine Towers deployed in the northern part of Antonium.

The number of silver needles poured out by each mechanical tower must be thousands, if not thousands.

Still, it was impossible to stop Prosnax.

Swawaak—

The intact dragon’s wings fluttered.

The cold hits.

The rushing silver needle froze and fell to the floor.

Taemin Nam let out a laugh.

“Even if you watched it, it was a lot of watching, Yunaxus.”

king of all things.

no

The tyrant of all things, now corrupted by evil.

That was the dragon’s power.

Nam Tae-min gritted his teeth.

[Berring].

If you rely on wild nature, you will be able to overcome your fears.

[Failed to activate the skill ‘Berrage’.]

However, the tyrant didn’t even allow him to run amok in front of him.

Just submit in front of yourself.

In the end, I just hoped that he would quietly comply.

“Huh.”

An extreme cold that slowly creeps in.

In an instant, your lungs start to freeze.

Leonie struggled to open her mouth.

“Damn… isn’t it colder… than Russia?”

Would I have been able to struggle even a little if I hadn’t dispersed the power?

No, it was on a different level. Among the healer players of the Great Alliance, there was no player who could heal [Obedience] and this degree of ice barrier status ailment.

But it was too early to be discouraged.

“…?”

oh oh

A vast amount of magical power suddenly covered the giant coalition.

Messages constantly updated.

[You have pure healing mana.]

[The status ailment ‘Obedience’ is canceled.]

[The status ailment ‘Freeze’ is canceled.]…

Every choice must have a reasonable reason.

There were no exceptions to the Mage Tower’s strict rules.

If Matisse stepped on the Arcana Continent through pure ability and Banshee had a blood relationship with Nash, the imperial wizard, then Belier, who accompanied him, must have a reasonable reason.

“I guess our relationship is quite deep, right?”

“Senior Bellier…?”

“Thank you, but how did you get here?!”

lively.

Rusty hair swaying in the cold wind.

Bellier replied with a gentle smile.

“I figured out how to purify the bad fruit.”
