Chapter 278
Episode 278: Conqueror
Jeopuk- Jeopuk-
The gaze of the slowly approaching conqueror is slightly twisted. What are you looking at?
What her gaze was focused on was the body of the [Guardian of Bongamdang] lying in disarray in the main temple.
At the same time, the conqueror’s magical power, which was as calm as a lake, is rippled.
[System: ‘Enhanced Vigilance’ is activated.]
Yes, I know it’s dangerous even without warning.
I knew that Sangnok Mountaineering Club and Bongamdang had a friendly relationship, but… … . No, were you two that close? Was there such a setting?
Oh, because there was no chance of Bongamdang’s guardian dying like this during the game?
So, that setting was never revealed.
‘Yes, the settings have just been revealed.’
What if [Old Voice] and [Sangnok Mountain Club] fight?
There are a few variables to consider, but [Old Voice] will win.
Unless there is a conqueror in the [Sangnok Mountaineering Club].
‘I now clearly understand the setting of the last episode.’
If it had been the way it was, I wouldn’t have been in this place.
The cultists of [Old Voice] would have burned the [Book of Bongam],
The conqueror who witnessed that scene must have cut down all the cultists.
And they would have attempted to use the remaining parts of [Bongam Chronicles] to conduct a ritual to revive [the guardian of Bongamdang].
Although the situation changed a little when I intervened, the conqueror’s options would not have changed much.
‘Let’s cut down all the guys here first. ‘You can shed tears slowly after you’ve killed them all.’
You must be thinking something like that, right? Oh, it’s going to spin.
If you continue to mess around like this, you will be accused of being ridiculous.
“No, I mean-”
“Get out of the way!”
A cult member suddenly shouts and runs towards the gate. Ah, damn it, why is that guy doing that at this timing again?!
Is this a plan to escape while we are distracted? That’s reasonable. He activated his magic as he ran to the gate.
[Fire Blast]
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Grumbling-
The conqueror drew one of his twin swords.
At a speed almost invisible to the eye, the sword light swirled around her body, scattering the flying flames in one breath.
“The warning was too late.”
widely.
The sword returns to its sheath at the waist.
“I will cut down anyone who moves without my permission. Please note that this applies retroactively.”
“W-what? Now, wait a minute – that sword – you, you – no, you – really?”
That was the cultist’s will.
Tuk-
A cultist’s head is separated from the body and falls to the ground.
The head that rolled around the yard of Bongamdang blinked several times and opened its mouth before stopping its movement.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
Only then did the cultist’s body realize its own death and collapse, pouring out a huge amount of blood.
‘That’s outrageous swordsmanship.’
“You are a wizard too.”
“Yes, of course.”
Did you just say ‘you too’? The conqueror is speaking by tying me and these men together.
“And that mask and its evil magic.”
The conqueror’s words did not continue, but it is possible to guess what content was omitted.
‘Are you a cult member?’
What should I say? Hahaha, isn’t this mask cool?
No, not this one. I stole this from a cultist and am using it. But I’m cursed and can never take it off. How about this? Is this something you can trust?
The conqueror took a step towards me.
“try.”
“… … What?”
“An explanation.”
“I told you earlier-”
I tried to say, ‘I am the one who defeated the cultists here!’, but the conqueror raised his hand and stopped me.
“Kid, I can guess that you have a difference of opinion with the guys rolling around here. But that’s not enough of a reason for me not to cut you. “Tell me why I should save you.”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn-”
As soon as she finished speaking, a black dog of enormous size was ready to attack.
“That’s right-”
Would you be angry if I told you that I am stronger than you? While I was trying to choose the right words, something suddenly obscured my vision.
[System: Penalty attribute ‘Destroyed Mind’ is activated. Since you currently have 1 madness, a random madness will appear.]
Ah, it’s 12 o’clock.
The timing is double and triple shit.
“Do you have anything to say?”

“Oh, no. wait for a sec. Wait! “One minute – no, just 20 seconds – no, just 5 seconds!”
“Are you crazy?”
“No, it’s going to happen soon, but- really, wait a minute! really! really! Uh-huh, those hands! Why are you already moving with your sword handle?”
Oh, it’s really spinning. Man, if you’re going to give me madness, give it to me quickly and get out of there, stop blocking my view!
[System: ‘Insanity – Fear of Dogs’ is given to your spirit.]
dog?
now?
I guess that’s why I’m having a phobia right now, right?
“Ah, I got it!”
“why-”
“What fucking timing! This was all a ruse! What a random thing! You threw this at me because you thought it was perfect for now, right? Holy shit! I knew it would be like this. You son of a bitch! “You were all watching!”
Isn’t this a situation where you really have no choice but to swear?
“That won’t work.”
Grumbling-
Wow, pick it! pull out
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn-”
At the same time, the monster standing next to the conqueror, spewing out terrible smoke with a sulfur-like stench through its nostrils, chewing up disasters with its snout, and excreting death with its buttocks, began to move while letting out a thunderous howl.
[The friend of the ‘Conqueror of the Sangnok Mountain Club’, ‘Jjokko’, stimulates your madness.]
Ah, that guy’s name is cute.
This wicked bastard beyond the message window, is this fun? uh? Do you find this fun?
Susaak-
The conqueror was carrying two swords hanging from his belt at great speed – one was Tweety, the other was Iceveil?
Among them, the Ice Veil flies towards my neck. It’s literally a question and answer dance. It was too late to do anything through conversation.
[Lightning field]
Let’s go!
As Tweety dances, the lightning that was blowing towards her disperses.
Awesome!
[protection team]
Suddenly-
The protection team is cut down in one breath.
After the message provoking madness was printed – only about a second had passed.
[‘Insanity – dog phobia’ appears.]
[jump]
I jump back and-
[Fireball]
At the same time as throwing a fireball, she activated two magics at the same time at an angle that made it difficult for her to respond.
[Dancing Blade]
[Blade Fog]
how is it?
A cutting fireball. Yeah, I knew that would happen!
Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The real thing is a storm of dozens of blades made of magic and blades rising like fog.
Sugagak- Suseotkeuk-
Wow, I just cut it with a knife.
1 second again.
[Attempt to resist confusion with your mental strength stat.]
“Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“A being born to prove that this world is a part of a terrible hell composed of irrationality, unhappiness, hatred, hate, sadness and frustration” rushing in from the side. No – so your name is Jjokko? Oh my – it’s going to spin.
[The unique function of the L-class accessory ‘Carcosa’s Mask’, ‘Dreamy Blur’, is activated.
// Dreamy Blur: Automatically casts the ‘Blink’ spell.]
The feeling that the world is spinning.
I reappeared in the main hall of Bongamdang, but the conqueror was already flying in my direction. Wow, you predicted the flash and already used your mobility device? Are you a professional gamer?
[Crash]
Quaaaang!
I hurriedly waved my hand to create a shock wave, but the conqueror leapt back through the empty air.
Ah, so many different things! Doesn’t that mover have a cooldown?
“Keuuuuung!”
As soon as the conqueror soars into the sky, the
1 second to here.
[Mental strength judgment… … . failure]
Wow – I hate this place! I hate this world! I hate this place! I hate that horrible beast! I hate this situation! I hate Bongamdang! I hate Sokcho! I hate conquerors! I hate cultists with old voices! I hate the fact that I have to be in this place! I hate this crappy development! I hate all these things that present me with this terrible absurdity! I hate that Nyala thing that traps me beyond the message window! I hate you guys who are having fun watching me at this very moment!
stop!
I’m getting out of here! I’m leaving! I won’t be here any longer! Goes! To the faraway side, to the nostalgia of a promised future! Goes! Go further! Now, let’s go! let’s go! Let’s go! Anyway, let’s run away to a place without that monster! Let’s run away to a place where there are no conquerors! Let’s leave Bongamdang! Let’s get out of here! Let’s go somewhere else! Let’s escape from this terrible [Cthulhu World]! I will escape at any cost!
* * *
How many seconds has passed now?
The surroundings are dark, and strange lumps of light are floating in front of the ominous eyes.
“Am I dead?”
[System: The duration of ‘Delirium: Desperate Flight’ has ended.]
“No, that’s not it.”
First of all, I lived.
I was lying down in a forest somewhere on Seoraksan Mountain.
[Your mind has temporarily stabilized as there is no object around to stimulate your madness. If you witness the object of your phobia again, or something reminiscent of it, madness will reappear.]
“Oh, thank you. “You bastard.”
My back hurts and my legs hurt. I can’t wake up. Ouch – I don’t know what happened while I was running away, but the middle finger, ring finger, and small finger of my left hand were twisted in a terrible direction.
“Oh, shit.”
Although it has the ability to recover, it is more of a problem if it regenerates in a twisted state like this.
Take a short deep breath. Resolution. resolution. ah. Damn it, damn it.
[Exhilaration]
[Invisible Hand]
[Hardening]
Crumbling-
“Uuuuu… … .”
I used telekinesis to force my twisted fingers together.
I used [Exhilaration] to force the adrenaline out, but wasn’t that enough?
Because of the eerie pain that surges from my fingertips, the number of stars in front of me increases tenfold for a moment and then disappears.
[System: ‘Fast recovery’ is activated.]
Fingers that heal quickly. You really try everything.
When I feel my chest with my healthy right hand, I can feel the texture of Bongam Giseo under my clothes. Thank goodness. In the meantime, you took care of what you needed.
I maintained my lying position and assessed my current location and situation.
“Not that much time has passed. Maybe one o’clock? “No, I guess it’s around two or three o’clock?”
“Three o’clock.”
A young woman’s voice.
“Ah, thank you.”
As I lay down and turn my gaze, I see a strange woman standing against the dark forest in the background. Her age is… … . Small body. Please note that this is not a curtain call.
Mid 20s? Second half? Messy, tangled short hair. Maybe early 20s or late teens.
However, the outfit was really strange…
“There’s no hospital around here, right?”
“hospital?”
A mental hospital.
What she is wearing is a pure white straitjacket.
There are belts here and there, and the long sleeves are completely sealed so that you can’t get your hands, let alone your fingers, out.
There was also a large belt hanging around her neck, with a long string attached to the center of the belt. therefore… … .
A device similar to the one worn around the neck of .
Aside from everything else, the unpleasant image that the belt and strap around my neck brings to mind makes me shiver.
Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath.
no. That’s a person. It’s a person. Bipedal beast.
“Unless you escaped from the hospital, why are you wandering around alone like that?”
“You didn’t come alone. “I came with my sister.”
“Who is your sister?”
“It’s over there.”
Where is it again?
I turned my head in the direction she pointed at with the end of her long sleeve, but all I could see were trees, trees, trees, shadows, shadows, shadows, darkness, darkness.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You’re stupid. fool.”
“He’s usually called a genius wizard.”
“A genius wizard? “Then why are you lying here?”
“Ah, I fell for the trick of an evil child and ended up in a dirty situation.”
“Naughty bastard? “Dirty?”
“I thought everything was going well, but an old lady who was so super-able to cut down magic without any context tried to kill me.”
“aha? “It’s a big deal.”
“what… … . “If you think about it, isn’t it really a big deal?”
Yes.
The Conqueror is a troublesome enemy, but if you think about it, the problem with the Conqueror is ultimately a side event. It’s not that my work has gone terribly wrong.
I groaned and straightened my back, and now I could clearly see the face of the person I was talking to.
“what? Was it you? “Why are you here?”
“huh? Did you just say that? “I came with my sister.”
“Well, I did say that.”
I scratched my head and thought about this and that for a while, and eventually stood up with a short sigh.
“Are you waking up now?”
“huh. “I rested a lot, so I need to move again.”
“Are you going to fight with your grandmother?”
“no. “I’m going to do something more important than that.”
“What are you going to do if the magic-cutting old lady attacks?”
“Say Bessie, who has a lot of magic.”
A super grandma who can cut through magic and fire 3 consecutive attacks per second can keep up – well, then I’ll just cut the time.
Although there are some creaks, the situation is not bad.
I checked everything I needed to check.
Now, if only the [Sword of the Flesh] is recovered, the [Old Voice] will not be able to attempt the descent of the [Great Source]. In other words, there is nothing more to see in Sokcho.
As soon as the sun rises, I can contact the people I sent to other places and decide my next destination.
“Okay, let’s go now.”
“Where?”
“The one you said earlier was Seunghee Moon, right? I’ll take you there. Follow me. Seonbin Lee.”
