Reborn as the Greatest Talent of the Noble Family Chapter 191

I was reincarnated as a famous genius with the greatest talent ever. Episode 191

129. Mountain Range Ruins (1)

Slowly getting closer to your destination.

Everyone was feeling it.

This strange and subtle energy of a place called ‘Mountain Ruins’.

Even if you don’t have a sensitive sense of humor like Dane, everyone can tell.

‘It’s sticky.’

Delward suddenly had this thought.

If I had come alone, would it have been possible to come this far?

If it were me, I would probably have used a skilled herbalist in the village below the mountain as a guide.

If I was lucky, I could have made it this far, but I don’t really think I would have.

If it weren’t for the map Dane brought, the environment was so rough that it wouldn’t be surprising if you fell behind at any time.

‘What a guy.’

Delward stuck out his tongue again.

Dane still leads his friends without showing any sign of fatigue.

It’s not just about having good physical strength.

He has excellent judgment and is good at improvising.

However, it’s not like I move without a plan; I make a plan in my head in an instant with all situations in mind.

Isn’t this the only way to avoid competition?

Even I, who was exposed to the most danger while wandering outside, reacted this way.

‘What kind of education does the Count of Sogres provide?’

It wouldn’t make sense to learn all that on my own.

“Leila, what are you learning at the academy these days?”

“huh? It’s so hard that I’m dying. What are you talking about all of a sudden? Phew.”

“No, just. “I want to practice climbing mountains like this.”

“Whew. “Is that possible?”

also.

It is not about academy education.

Then, it is clear that both the father and the mother underwent rigorous training.

There is no other way to explain it.

A small misunderstanding began to bloom in Delward’s mind.

“Everyone is coming.”

Meanwhile, everyone’s tension gradually increased.

Mountain range ruins.

A place where there is an ingredient called ‘Roxinna’s Tears’ that must be obtained.

“I know the location of the entrance, so getting in would be the biggest problem, right?”

“I guess that’s the case? “How do I find a way?”

“First, let’s search the surrounding area and take a good look. I have to get in somehow. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just destroy it.”

The friends talked about various things, and Dane thought.

‘Why was that ranger injured?’

The ranger that he and Ernest discovered.

The guy suffered a long stab wound and fainted from excessive bleeding.

I should treat him, make sure he doesn’t die, then leave and forget about him, but I’m worried.

‘But I couldn’t wake him up and ask him.’

In the end, we have to infer why it happened that way… … .

Indeed, who did that?

Alteon’s mountain rangers?

Or a monster?

Either that or… … .

Something third?

Dane isn’t the type to worry about things that haven’t happened.

However, we make thorough plans for things that are ‘likely to happen’.

Should I say it’s kind of like a premonition?

‘Could it be related to the ruins?’

Certainly, the place where the ranger was found was not far from the ruins.

The order in the ranger’s arms was also an order to inspect the ruins.

And the group is heading there.

What exactly is it?

Maybe, simply exploring the ruins and finding what you need isn’t everything.

Because things always happen.

“for a moment.”

It was then that Dane raised his hand.

Stop sign again.

I wondered if I could hear breathing again, but not this time.

The smell of death carries through the wind.

in other words-

“The smell of a corpse. “There are quite a few.”

“Smell, the smell of a corpse?”

“Everyone be quiet.”

In his past life, Dane had seen countless corpses and smelled them so many times that his nose was rotten.

How harsh is the summer battlefield.

If the body is not removed in time, it will grow maggots, rot, and emit an unbelievable smell.

Based on experience… … .

The body is at least a day old.

“let’s go.”

Dane walked a little faster, and the group followed suit.

‘smell? ‘It doesn’t fly at all.’

As Delward has a lot of experience outside, he has smelled dead bodies a few times.

But the only smell was the sour body odor of sweat.

However, there is no reason not to believe it.

Dane was the one who detected the Ranger’s faint breathing earlier.

just as expected.

“Oh my god… … .”

“What is all this… … .”

“Ugh… … .”

In front of the mountain range ruins.

A terrible scene unfolded.

Bodies were strewn everywhere.

And all of them… … .

“The one who hurt that Drenik ranger… … “They weren’t Alteon Rangers.”

They were Alteon’s acid rangers.

* * *

Let’s summarize briefly.

We found Drenik’s ranger lying unconscious.

The ranger is on a mission to ‘investigate the mountain ruins.’

Thanks to the ranger, I copied the map and came here a little more comfortably.

however-

It looks like this when it comes.

Alteon’s rangers are dead in heaps.

Each and every one of them is Quad level, and each veteran is a skilled person who is evaluated as being equivalent to a Penta level knight.

As many as 10 such people are dead.

“If you do this wrong, I’ll use poison.”

Delward, as he is, thought of political perspectives first.

On the other hand-

“Shouldn’t we go back?”

Priscilla thought of the safety of the group first.

Both are correct.

As many as 10 rangers, each of whom was incredibly skilled, were killed.

And now we have seen it.

You can also use poison gourd.

And he may be killed by those who killed these 10 rangers.

But I can’t go back.

I don’t know what will happen when I get back from here.

“Ernest.”

I made the rest of the group wait for a moment and looked at the dead rangers with Ernest.

Judging by the fact that they were all holding their weapons out, it seems like they didn’t even resist and died instantly.

but… … .

It seems that the resistance had no particular meaning.

“this… … .”

Long cuts on the rangers’ bodies.

It is the same as the wound we saw on the Drenik ranger earlier.

It is safe to say that the wound was actually torn rather than cut. The blood that flowed had already hardened.

I came up with a list of candidates in my head. A being that can defeat 10 rangers.

no-

“Not one.”

There are several.

Judging by the footprints, that’s true.

The Drenik ranger wasn’t around earlier.

And the footprints lead there, into the ruins.

What kind of guy is this?

I looked around a little more.

“Ernest, how are you?”

“There’s nothing special yet… … “If it can cause such wounds, isn’t it a monster?”

“I guess.”

That’s likely to be the case.

If you only focus on one wound.

But is there any reason to slaughter the rangers like this and go inside the ruins?

To ordinary monsters?

It was then that I discovered something while continuing my reasoning.

It’s hair.

Long, thin silver hair.

I quickly looked back at the corpses of the rangers.

At least no one has silver hair.

Of course, it could be my hair, but it’s quite thick for a hair.

And one possibility that pops into my head.

When the moon rises, they turn into wolves.

Suffering from some kind of ‘disease’, they are a minority race and are rarely encountered in life.

Because they are targets of oppression.

If so, this rough wound can also be explained.

“Lycanthrope.”

Strong combat power.

When you turn into a wolf, you gain powerful claws and the aggressiveness of an animal.

It’s a possibility I don’t really want to think about, but… … .

“I think that’s right.”

Everyone opens their mouths at my words.

“Lycan… … Slope? Dane, are you sure?”

“Well, if you’re a lycanthrope… … “That one from that fairy tale?”

“really? That monster that turns into a wolf when the moon rises… … No, people? tribe?”

It’s worth it.

There will be no one here who does not know lycanthropes.

Since it is a common theme in children’s fairy tales, everyone probably has a vague fear of it.

Probably no one saw it except me.

I saw it.

To be exact, I saw a lycanthrope soldier.

A lycanthrope unit formed in Drenik.

It was a unit created on the condition of treating diseases and becoming citizens of the empire… … .

They all died.

Not on the battlefield, but in the hands of Drenik.

Well, that’s not important.

What is important is that their combat power was enormous.

And, of course, there is a high probability that he is here now.

“It’s a difficult situation.”

Delward sighed.

In normal cases, you should return here.

In general cases, that is.

“But it’ll be difficult to go back, right?”

“sure.”

I looked at Leila.

As if to tell me not to worry.

The rest of the guys were trembling, but they were trying to reassure themselves while looking at me.

“Because Dane is there… … .”

“I guess I’ll also meet a lycanthrope at this point, teachers… … .”

“But wouldn’t a lycanthrope be an opponent for whom my divine power would work? “Is it a good holiday?”

Well, there is also Priscilla, who is a priest, so there is no need to worry.

So, you should go in without hesitation.

“What if I get caught by the rangers? “They will come out here to search.”

“I have to tear the scroll. “Even if it’s a bit excessive.”

There is a way to escape.

No one saw us here anyway. The unconscious ranger earlier must have only seen our silhouettes.

So just run away before you get caught.

“Let’s think positively. “Those who went first also dug up the entrance to the ruins, right?”

“Now that I think about it, that’s true.”

Edward told me that he knew the location and entrance of the ruins, but couldn’t find a way to get in.

But thanks to the guys who went first, we saved ourselves some trouble.

“Is this okay?”

I pulled out the arcanium sword.

It would be best to have a silver sword, but I can’t get one right now.

Of course, this alone is enough.

A sword that can cut through anything as long as it is loaded with magical power.

The lycanthrope’s fur is a bit tough, but this is a sword that even cut down the ‘tree of death’.

There are plenty of ways to escape, so there is no need to worry any more.

“let’s go.”

We finally moved.

Inside the ruins with their black mouths wide open.

* * *

“next.”

“Holy shit, three of my compatriots are already dead! This place is a crazy ruin! “I can’t go any further!”

“next.”

“I can’t go!”

“Then there is no next in your race. Didn’t I tell you? “If I finish this job well, I will help you get out into the world.”

“… … .”

Gagon, the leader of the lycanthropes, was speechless.

Going out into the world.

It is the dream of lycanthropes who consider themselves an object of oppression, an ominous disease, and at the same time cursed.

The man in front of them appeared in front of them one day and said he would lift the curse if they helped me.

Gagon accepted his words.

He asked me to help him dig through the ruins.

however… … .

Three people have already died.

“There isn’t much left now.”

The three lycanthropes with strong regenerative powers were helplessly defeated.

Because I fell into the trap of this terrible ruin.

My entire body was pierced by spear blades protruding from all directions, and I received a barrage of arrows all over my body.

The guy who had just died had his head cut off by an ax blade that suddenly flew from the ceiling.

Now all that remains are four lycanthropes, including Gagon.

Is it really worth it?

I had that question, but-

“Are you going to come back now?”

“… … Shit.”

I couldn’t go back.

We have already stepped forward and lost three precious compatriots.

If what this person says is true, they made a noble sacrifice.

The dreams of lycanthropes. To establish yourself as a proud member of the empire.

“If you don’t keep your promise, I will tear you limb from limb.”

“Promises are always kept. You lycanthropes, and you. Even for dwarves.”

It wasn’t just lycanthropes.

There were also dwarves.

“Sickness. The damn dog is pooping. promise? “For kidnapping me on a day when I was peacefully cutting stones!”

“When we reach the end of the ruins, I’ll release you too.”

“Stop talking nonsense and release it right away!”

At first glance, the dwarf, who was constantly using evil words, seemed to have been captured like this by chance.

The man had put me to sleep because I had been screaming all the way, but when I opened my eyes, it was like that again.

So in the end the dwarf fell asleep again and became drowsy.

“What did you bring the dwarf for?”

“I know it when I see it.”

The man then lightly lifted the dwarf and floated it in the air.

And then he nodded.

“Take the lead.”

“… … Shit.”

How many people will die before we arrive?

Gagon sighed and took shaky steps along with his compatriots.

Meanwhile.

‘Our secret society should not fall apart like this.’

The man made a promise while looking at the backs of the lycanthropes leading the way.

Definitely, definitely.

I will save Roxinna’s tears.

‘That’s all we need to regain our power.’

I had no idea that a group of people had just entered the ruins.
