I’m not going to die

51 – The Falling City

“Then I’ll ask you one thing.”

“…what?”

“How are you going to change my mind?”

Although Changsung showed such determination.

So I’m not sure how you’re going to change my mind.

…how would you give the love of life?

Changsung shook his head.

“…If I had known that, I would have done it sooner.”

It still felt like her to do it without any countermeasures.

She only got a reason to live, not that her overall personality had completely changed.

“Did you make a bet without knowing?”

“But I know what to do now.”

Changsung put me back on his back, as if it was enough for him to take a short break while talking.

“Isn’t it urgent?”

“It’s true, but it didn’t start right away.”

If the city had started to fall right now, he would have headed towards the city even with a dagger.

But that wasn’t it.

It looks like it’s still in the preparatory stage before starting.

It was rather ominous because it was so quiet.

Black magic was used in earnest, and the extent of it was more than the priests noticed.

If so, the church will move, and the high-level wizards will notice and move.

Then the whole kingdom will be shaken.

Even if it was the royal family who joined hands with the Black Pagoda Master, the Black Pagoda Master’s sudden attack had to be dealt with.

Then it’s a race against time.

The moment the black magic explodes, the black pagoda owner must start the invasion immediately.

However, the black pagoda stock seems to have too much room.

Do you think you have enough time for yourself?

…Could it be that the royal family is trying to help and not stop this?

If that’s true, that’s a rather serious irrational number.

The whole royal family will be shaken.

As long as there is no revolution, they will not collapse, but it is certain that one madam with a crown prince will fall.

Changsung’s footsteps were gradually accelerating.

The work is urgent, so I run as fast as that.

“So, is this speed enough?”

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“…Ugh, I know the limits of my body.”

There was no such thing as slowing down.

Because I am good at one thing that drives my body to the limit.

I don’t know what kind of training she went through in the past, but her ferocity was incomparable to anyone else.

Changsung, who took a deep breath, said.

“If I fall down on my way, you will be held responsible.”

“…don’t fall down on the way, just take a break.”

“…No, I’ll make sure it arrives within today.”

Her stubbornness is also great.

Or was this intended?

It might be that you try to feel the same frustration by copying the day I rushed to death even though people around me stopped me like that.

…This must be a little speculation.

Her stubbornness was out of the blue, forced, and not easily put down.

He used to be that kind of guy.

“I have a question, but if you don’t want me to die, wouldn’t it be right to go find a hero and entrust him?”

“…If I block you, what will you do?”

I took it for granted when Changsung asked such a question.

Then I will have no choice but to use a dagger and head for the city.

…Coming to think of it that way, Changsung is wiser.

Even if she blocked me like everyone else, I was going to reach the city.

“I’d rather have this.”

“Yeah, if your thoughts don’t change, your actions won’t change either.”

Rather, she didn’t stop me.

Rather, it is the will to make you do what you want.

I tried to help with all my might.

“I’d rather help, do everything I can.”

“…thank you so much.”

“Your purpose is not to die anyway, but to prevent a disaster, right? It’s because I didn’t spare myself, I think if I did my best to help you, you wouldn’t get hurt less.”

yeah, maybe that would be better

Rather, the cost incurred by Vesiana and Frank preventing me from going with them was great.

It’s not excessive, but it’s enough to cause some disruption to work.

It’s not a long way.

Towards that demonic storm that oozes a lot of ominousness.

we were running

**

A running carriage was sufficient to reach the center of the city.

There, Reinhardt got off the carriage and said.

“Are you all going to come to City Hall?”

“Come to think of it, I don’t think I need to follow you, right?”

As the work became too big, it could be said that there were fewer things for them to do.

Since Bessia is a skilled priest, she can treat the injured who will come out anyway, and Fran is a mage, so if she fires a powerful bombardment, she will be able to play an active role.

However, this is only an individual’s performance, and it was difficult to see that it would have a very large impact on preventing future disasters.

Besides, even if his skills had improved, considering Raeli, the level of a knight. I wondered if it would be of any significant help.

At least it was the swordsman who was able to exert a significant influence.

“Then I will meet the mayor. You guys are waiting here.”

Swordsman entered the government building to meet the mayor.

As if the news of the arrival of Prince Rousselmani had already reached them, people presumed to be in high positions had already stepped forward to greet Reinhardt.

“What are you doing in the meantime?”

When the sword castle entered the government building, the remaining people were in trouble with each other.

Ardel was also worried.

If it’s this big, wouldn’t it be better to get out of the city?

They were too young to take care of it, and not to the extent of taking on such responsibility.

Wouldn’t it be right to let them out of the city?

As Ardel pondered, he noticed that another person was coming out of the carriage.

A girl in priestly clothes.

Gray eyes and gray hair.

And a woman who doesn’t look so good.

She looked at Ardel and murmured.

“Argal… ?”

“…his older brother. You didn’t know it even though you had been staying in the carriage all this time.”

“Ah, that’s his older brother.”

It seems that they were mistaken for a moment because they resembled each other because they were brothers.

Seeing her pouty attitude, Ardel inferred that her personality didn’t look so good.

Bethia rubs her eyes.

“I think it’s just the beginning, but it’s okay to stay here… . want to Shouldn’t we call all the people staying outside the castle right now?”

“A start?”

“The demonic storm has raged, and now they will ambush targeting the vulnerable outside the castle and gather the demonic energy, raising the corpses into undead, killing people with the undead, and repeating making the undead again, all those who stay outside I will kill you.”

“…really?”

“Yeah, so we have to get the people outside to get into the castle quickly.”

Frank agreed with this.

She also nodded with a serious face.

“I also felt something. Just like when the black magic barrier was created.”

Ardel couldn’t come to his senses from the information pouring in.

No, one more important fact came to mind.

A child who has been affectionate for a while.

Luna always wandered outside the castle and played alone.

It is the same now.

Are you going to go to the back mountain again and dig mushrooms?

Concerns ran through Ardel’s head.

“I have work, so can I move by myself for a while?”

“What’s going on?”

“There’s an acquaintance I know outside, but I thought it might be dangerous, so I’m bringing him into the castle.”

“Then you must go quickly! Could we help too?”

“No, you guys have work to do.”

Ardel hurriedly ran away.

If I leave it like this, I think I might let the child die.

With that worry in mind, I ran out.

Fran looked at it and murmured.

She too was worried.

Going out of the castle in this situation is because you don’t know what could happen.

Wouldn’t it be better to go together and help?

“Wouldn’t Reinhard still have plenty of time to talk to the mayor?”

“Then shall I go?”

Raeli answered Fran’s muttering.

Ardel, who has a well-trained body, was quick to run, but that doesn’t mean that Raeli doesn’t fall short.

Frank nodded.

Two would be better than alone.

The force she displayed was at least knight-level.

Raeli also followed Ardel.

Fran and Bessia, who remained alone for a while, discussed this matter.

“Really, what will happen?”

“It’s okay to get out of here if you don’t like it.”

Bessia intends to leave the castle if there is no answer.

In fact, if the work had grown this far, there was no need for the personnel here to catch the Black Pagoda Master.

Because the owner of the Black Tower will be the subjugation target.

It didn’t matter if the Black Pagoda Master died and the curse was lifted.

During that time, the life of the bishop and Argal will be prolonged by her at all costs.

I had enough skills to have such confidence.

She was a saint-class priest who revived people, and she actually had that much holy power.

The situation looked bad enough to even think of such a plan.

Bethia swallowed, calming herself as much as possible.

**

“I am ready.”

Looking at the demons condensing in the sky, Tigris murmured.

Help was sought in various directions.

He lied to the royal family and induced them to bet big.

It was difficult to convince the crown prince, but he said that he knew a sure way to obtain immortality, so in the end the royal family decided to help with this task.

Since he promised to bring immortality, the ultimate goal of the royal family, he had no choice but to fall for this flattery.

Likewise, the Demon King’s side requested help.

When I reached the transcendence this time and said that I would become an officer in the Demon King’s Army, the King of Death personally lent me some black magic.

she was sure

After wiping out and transcending the city like this, I’m sure I’ll find the immortals in the capital and steal their immortal powers.

But it wasn’t that there were no concerns at all.

As the work progressed too quickly, a fatal problem appeared even to her.

There was a loophole in black magic that penetrated the most important pulse.

Even if I tried to make it perfect, there was no room for that.

The limit is to make it as deceptive as possible so that you don’t notice.

“But, is there really a black magician of that level?”

Unless you’re a black magician like her, you won’t be able to find a loophole and destroy it.

All the warlocks around the capital were on her side, and belonged to the warlock tower.

The warlock standing closest bowed his head.

The elder who survived the previous disaster showed utmost awe in front of the Black Pagoda Lord who was about to transcend.

“let’s begin.”

“yes.”

The black magicians chant in unison.

Unable to die, moving monsters crawled out.

The victims he had killed were piled up here, and he made the bodies move.

Undead is the most convenient and powerful means.

Even without the location of the black magician being directly exposed, the undead were able to kick back their demonic energy by making another victim.

The undead pouring in from all directions, not in one direction, intensively aimed at the citizens outside the city walls.

“Kyaaah!”

“Undead! Call the priest!”

As the disfigured corpse moved, people started screaming and running away.

However, the undead created by the black magicians were not like monsters that moved because they couldn’t die.

Quadduk!

The undead rushed at the living and immediately broke the target’s head.

The brain water in my head flowed out terribly.

At the same time, dark demonic energy poured out of the fallen corpse.

The dark sky greedily swallows the demonic energy that flowed out like that.

It was a black magic that the Black Tower Master had perfected by pouring all the magic he had accumulated throughout his life.

All deaths under this sky will soon flow away as the demonic energy of the Black Tower Master.
