The Regressor and the Blind Saint

The orcs were scattered.

It was less than 10 minutes after arriving at the cradle of the dead.

What’s really absurd is that, among the orcs who were screaming and running, there was also Balak, who seemed to accompany them.

Vera smirked involuntarily and said to the party.

“… What are you going to do now?”

It’s a very difficult situation as the orcs who will guide you have disappeared. Miller, who had been looking around the cradle the whole time, said spilling over what they had said to come together and find a solution.

“First, let’s do what the orcs call ‘proof’.”

It was said as he crossed his arms and gently stroked his chin.

“You can go to Maleus right away, but… Shouldn’t you be prepared for any emergency situation? We may have to retreat before we get to Maleus.”

Vera nodded in agreement at the words uttered, then paused for a moment.

prove it first

The moment I remembered it, it was because I thought of those who would have difficulty in proof here.

His gaze turned to Renee and Aisha.

‘… The proof is likely in the form of one-to-one.’

In other words, interpersonal combat power was a very important factor.

Then, of course, for Renee and Aisha, this proof would act as an infinitely dangerous factor.

An impression was drawn over Vera’s face as a thought occurred.

A series of reactions followed with silence.

At that, Renee grinned as he realized Vera was reminded of his worries.

“Vera, are you really worried about me?”

“Lady… .”

“Don’t worry. Because even one undead can win with just a drink while standing. And in the end, choosing a partner for proof is a matter of physical ability, right? Then, it is natural for my opponent to be of the same level as me.”

So, how long do you plan on seeing me only as a child?

Renee giggled at the thought that came to her, then raised the staff in her hand and continued.

“I can still use this two more times.”

It was referring to the ‘function of recognizing objects through waves’ built into the wand.

Vera ‘shouted’ at Renee’s confident attitude, but soon agreed.

“… If anything dangerous happens, I will intervene.”

“Yes Yes.”

Renee nodded slightly.

Vera said, ‘You shouldn’t be so vigilant,’ and remembered that his usual behavior had not been taken into account.

Vera didn’t know that Renee’s self-confidence before he could fight, and that Aisha’s arrogant thoughts, ‘I’m going to win’, were her influence.

After discussing the schedule, the party went to the center of the cradle, one by one, ‘proofing’.

In the process, there was one thing that would be funny if it was funny, and that ‘proof’ was a ‘request’ to an undead on the way.

Everyone in the party, even Miller, was surprised.

Isn’t that right? Contrary to the popular perception that the undead will be full of resentment towards the living, it would be strange if you weren’t surprised to see the undead saying things like ‘if it’s a guest’s request’ with a gentlemanly attitude.

Meanwhile, Vera even thought of that.

“Durahan, would you like to duel?”

“Marek slaps. Don’t be scared.”

[Oh, I hope the fighters are full of blood. Good. Make sure to treat my guests well!]

[Heh heh heh, reminds me of a time when I was alive. It was just like that when I was in the middle of my knight training!]

It was thought that it would be an insult to them to attach twin-like opponents to those gentleman undead.

Vera looked at the twins, each sharing a number with the Durahan, with their faces as cold as ice.

The figure of a knight who could not back down while clasping his halberd while receiving the attacks of Durahhan with his body could be said to be a model for a knight who could not back down, but it was not just Vera.

Aren’t they the twins who had a taste for Ballack’s daughter Coco and also used slime as a toy?

Durahan, who fights with a serious attitude, is concerned that the twins will be disrespectful.

Durahhan swung his axe.

Marek raised an earth-colored deity, blocking it with his bare hands.

thud-!

There was a sound so heavy that it was hard to believe that it was the sound of steel and flesh collided.

[What a great spirit! If you’re a knight, it’s important not to back down like that!]

“Take a bit of Durahhan. But it hurts less than Vera.”

Marek began to wield the halberd with one hand as he spoke.

bang! bang! bang! A loud bang is heard, and Marek’s Halberd, who was continuing the offensive, slams Durahan’s severed neck, and the game ends.

Vera secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Marek had not done anything wrong only after the game was over.

It’s a gentle reaction that doesn’t even think of a single worry. I could have said it like that, but it was wrong to say the least.

This is because the ‘indomitable’ power of the Guardian Apostle is the ability that reveals its true value when confronting the opponent of a great rival.

It is a power that promises infinite vitality and resilience as long as the heart is not broken.

As long as the opponent is an undead that does not get tired, the concept of accumulation of injuries does not exist, and how to catch twins who are not smart enough to think of giving up. Durahan doesn’t have it.

[It was a good match! It reminds me of something from my life after a long time and makes me happy!]

Durahan, who fell off the horse, chuckled and said something like that. Then, after rummaging through the armor, he took out a bone necklace and handed it to Marek and continued.

[Now, this is the proof. If you leave this on the border when you leave the cradle, you will be able to get out safely.]

“It was great. Durahhan. Marek, you sweated a bit.”

Marek took the necklace and hung it around his neck.

Vera made a surprised face at the shape of the necklace that caught his eye.

‘that… .’

The reason why the necklace resembles the relics that were for sale at the auction house he was running in the last episode.

Only then did Vera come back alive from the cradle and understand why the people selling it had died of disease.

‘… It must have been that he was greedy for things to be buried.’

According to Durahhan’s words, the merchants were blinded by greed and were cursed because they brought things that could not be taken out of the cradle.

Is it human folly?

Vera felt a chuckle at the thought.

*

The gentlemanly undead showed kindness until the moment they parted and disappeared.

Along with the designation of the opponent that matches the level of the party, he taught them where they were and left.

For some reason, I thought, ‘I don’t think this is it’, but… good is not good

The party continued to move toward the center of the cradle with a much lighter atmosphere than at the beginning.

Following the twins, Norn and Hela completed the proof.

The opponent is Skeleton Knight.

It was a victory that was done neatly without any injuries, like two people who usually did their jobs silently.

Next, Miller faced 10 Specters.

It was a victory that was won by sprinkling some reagents in the air to match the name of the shaman, twisting the recognition of the undead, and piercing the exposed gap with a curse.

Vera felt displeased with Miller’s play.

This is because, unknowingly, the end of the last episode came to mind when I saw the cursed scene.

It was a strange feeling, as if the pain of that moment came back to life, and it was an unpleasant feeling.

From https://readwn.com

Of course, it is now impossible to know whether the pain at that time was really caused by the curse, or whether it was caused by the ‘coffin’, but it is inevitable that the pain and the curse at that time come together as one.

Vera replied with a frown on his face as he watched Miller win a bone necklace from the Specter horde.

“… You suffered.”

“Ahh, what are you struggling with? It was a fun experience because I don’t often use magic in combat like this. The Specter girls were kind to me, so I felt less guilty.”

Miller giggled and hung the necklace around his neck as soon as he finished answering, then looked at Aisha and continued.

“Who’s that kid next?”

“Yes, the opponent is a ghoul.”

Vera also turned to Aisha to answer.

Aisha pricked her ears at the gazes that were drawn towards her and spoke in an excited tone.

“Is it me now? Is it my turn? Do I fight too?”

Vera let out a deep sigh as he said it with a shuddering moth that he had been following the whole time.

“Don’t be vigilant. I always say… .”

“Is there no cowardice in fighting?”

The answer is to stop talking.

Vera’s eyes widened at it. His body stiffened and his face turned red.

It looks like he’s about to get angry at any moment.

At that, Aisha hid behind Renee and smiled, only sticking her head out.

“Puffy… !”

Renee laughed too.

Vera felt a piercing sense of betrayal. The expression on his face was dying darkly according to those emotions.

“Sorry, sorry… Puff! Aisha apologizes… Ha ha ha ha!”

The way he shrugged his shoulders and burst into laughter was very absurd.

Someone once said that a mother-in-law who beats her sister-in-law is more mean than a mother-in-law who beats her.

It was indeed the right thing to say.

Vera couldn’t even swear at Renee, so he just smirked and glared at the two of them.

Can Aisha, who is still young, be able to safely defeat the undead?

Such worries came to an end in a truly absurd form.

[Hey, younseok… ! I can’t use it if I torment my grandpa like that… !]

A corner of the cradle that is only in the form of a forest full of dead trees.

Aisha ran around the surrounding trees, making fun of the ghouls.

small body size. quick movements. Also sensitive to the senses.

Suin, and young Aira, are fighting to the fullest of their strengths.

It wasn’t that the ghouls were slow. Contrary to complaining with a sluggish voice, the ghouls’ movements were clearly fast, and the force on their long nails was stronger than that of any knight’s sword.

However, fighting and chess were subjects in which the importance of talent was clearly revealed as one progressed to a higher level.

Although she is still a young child, it was Aisha who was praised as a hero in the last episode.

It was also Aisha who took daily lessons from Vera at the extreme of talent.

Being young and lacking in strength is no problem for Aisha.

“Hey!”

Aisha’s dagger, which fell from the tree and swung, pierced the ghoul’s head! stabbed

[Ouch… !]

The ghoul shook his body in amazement, and then he smirked and admitted defeat.

[I’ve lost my grandparents… .]

Aisha responded to the ghoul, feeling excited about the victory she had won.

“Grandpa did a great job too!”

[Chuckle… . yes yongseok it’s old… .]

Ghoul took out the bone necklace from the pants dance and hung it around Aisha’s neck.

Aisha grinned and fiddled with the bone necklace, then approached Vera and smirked.

“What do you think?”

Suddenly, Vera came up with the idea of putting honey chestnuts on Aisha’s head full of energy.

A really childish mind.

Vera, ashamed that he had thought of it so late, sighed deeply and placed his hand on Aisha’s head.

And stroking his hair violently.

“Good job.”

“Gorum gorum. Because Aisha is amazing!”

The tail stood up straight.

The sound of laughter was mixed with the sound of roaring.

Vera, seeing Aisha like that, involuntarily thought about it in the battle that had just happened.

It is clear that it is herself who has been teaching with great care in the past few months, but for some reason, I thought that the only method Aisha used was the method she taught in the last episode, which had been out for just one day.

After Aisha’s proof, what followed was Renee’s proof.

We are now almost at the center of the cradle.

In front of a small hut where you can see a large, gloomy fortress in the distance.

Renee met Richie.
