Chapter 401: [Terror of the Dead God] [9] [Weapons]
“Urgh!”
A sudden headache assaulted my mind, making groan in pain.
My eyes fluttered up as I tried to move around—.
“Huh?”
—Only to notice that I was in soone else’s bed.
I jerked up to sit on the bed as I frantically looked around, but there was no one with .
I rubbed my temples to alleviate the throbbing pain that hamred my mind.
The room was one of the best rooms I had ever been in, with a glass roof that showered sunlight inside.
“The fuck happened?”
I groaned, getting out of the bed as I found myself half-naked.
‘Wait, co to think of it….’
The last mory returned as I rembered seeing Nyxara… naked.
“I lost consciousness—.”
[]
Inna’s voice echoed in my mind, making flinch.
“What?” I frowned in confusion. “How did I not notice it?”
[]
“…”
Really?
A chill ran down my spine as I noticed how close I was to dying.
Had she not been kind, that woman would have killed and I wouldn’t have even had to do anything.
I let out a weary sigh. “…I am still weak.”
Rubbing my temples, I began walking out of the room.
The doorknob twisted as I reached inside a luxurious hall that scread rich.
Moving along the stairs, I walked down, only to find the entire place empty.
Cautious, I tried listening to any type of movent in the room but couldn’t find anything.
“Did she leave behind or what?” I grumbled, looking around. “What if I stole sothing—.”
“Then I will inform Lady Nyxara.”
A sudden feminine voice almost made jump.
“The fuck!” I groaned, looking around. “Where are you?”
“Everywhere.” The voice replied. “I am Nyx, the personal AI of Lady Nyxara.”
“Uh, hello?”
Wait, this world has AI?
How was I not aware of such an important thing?
“Lady Nyxara asked to tell you she forgives you.” Nyx said, her voice ringing in the place. “But don’t ever show your face to her.”
“..Thank you, I guess.” I replied, as I noticed a huge mirror standing at the corner. “Did she say sothing else?”
“Yes.” Nyx replied as I moved towards the mirror. “Leave her property.”
“Tch.”
I clicked my tongue as I looked at my body… only to notice sothing really strange.
“…What are these?”
I mumbled, touching my neck and collarbones that had reddish spots on them.
They looked like faint bruises—no, not bruises.
….Hickeys.
I froze at my place.
“Wait, wait.” Panic rushed like bile as a thought crossed my mind. “Did she rape ?”
[]
“Don’t sully my lady’s na.”
Inna and Nyx’s voices echoed at the sa ti.
“Then what are these?” I groaned, rubbing the marks in an attempt to remove them. “I know damn well they aren’t mosquito bites.”
“You should get out.” Nyx said, her voice emotionless. “I don’t want you here anymore.”
“…Yeah, fuck you, AI.” I groaned, taking out a new high-neck shirt from my bracelet.
“Inna.” I called her, wearing the shirt. “Did she do it?”
[]
“Then how did I get them!?” I snapped, covering the hickeys. “Did a goddess co and bestow —.”
My words stopped as sothing clicked in my mind.
“Did you do this, Inna?” I asked, stopping in place.
[]
“Wait! I had to choose the weapons.”
Fuck, fuck.
I would really hate myself if I don’t get those weapons because I slept out.
My shoulder blades twisted as three pairs of majestic wings unfolded behind .
“Bye, stupid AI.”
I said, and without waiting for her response, I flew out of the place.
…..
It took six hours of continuous flying above the sky to reach the base of the Three Gods Church.
Even though I was at my full speed, the distance was just way too long.
The sun was just above my head as I looked down.
It didn’t take long to notice a few familiar figures pacing at the entrance.
I angled my wings and descended like a bullet, skidding to a halt at the marble courtyard.
The mont my feet hit the ground, my knees almost buckled from exhaustion.
Flying nonstop for six hours? Never again.
I might look majestic, but inside, I was one wrong breath away from throwing up.
As soon as I landed, Aimar was at .
“You’re late,” he finally said.
“Yeah? Sue .”
He glared at while I looked at Elijah. “What happened?”
“Nothing.” He shrugged. “They are still waiting for you.”
Relief washed over as I patted his back. “Let’s not keep them waiting then.”
We quickly walked inside the building that was situated not far away from the mountains.
The mont we entered, a man arrived in front of us.
He was a tall man with short silver hair and thick glasses that covered his bright eyes.
“Himl, I believe.” He said, fixing his glasses. “You are here for the weapon, right?”
I nodded softly. “Yes.”
He nodded and began to walk. “Co with .”
We began to follow him as he led us further inside the building.
The place was enormous, like it was made for giants, with the ceiling touching the heavens.
“Who are you again?” I asked, looking at the man.
“Eron.” He said without looking back. “Caretaker of this place.”
“…Must be hard.”
He said nothing, and none of us broke the silence as well.
We passed a final archway and stepped into a colossal chamber.
My breath caught.
Weapons.
Hundreds of them.
Hung on walls, mounted on pedestals, floating midair, displaying their majestic form.
Each one was enormous—blades longer than a dragon, hamrs wide enough to crush a house.
Just standing in front of them made feel small.
Like a child among titans.
“You can only choose two of them.” The silver-haired man said, fixing his glasses. “Please be mindful to not damage anything.”
I nodded as I started to walk in, Elijah and Aimar also spread out to see everything.
The first thing to catch my eyes was a bow, unstrung but still exuding pressure, lood high above, its fra made of silverish bone.
“Inna.” I mumbled. “Were the Origin Race made of giants?”
[]
“Then who even used these weapons?” I muttered, touching a huge crimson sword.
[]
‘Like the Uzu family?’
[]
‘I see.’
I began to wander around the place aimlessly as I ca across a lot of different weapons.
They all were so good that I began to have second thoughts.
‘What if I rob them?’
It might not be possible now, but I can definitely do that later on.
‘Yeah… Let’s do that.’
[]
As I road around, finally, sothing caught my eye.
It was a halberd, floating mid-air.
Its shaft was wrapped in blackened roots, the blade shaped like a cleaved horn, half bathed in light, half in writhing shadow.
My feet moved on their own.
This was it.
I knew.
The halberd towered over , at least fifteen feet tall, yet I didn’t hesitate.
My fingers brushed its shaft and I pulled it up with one hand.
My muscles scread in pain but I still held it tight, raising it up.
I grinned as I found it.
The weapon I loved.
Even though I saw Eron’s panicked look, I still raised it high in the air.
“Wait—!”
And swung it down.
BOOM!!!!
The thunderous roar echoed within the room from the sheer pressure it emitted.
Every weapon that was inside the room was thrown away, along with Elijah and Aimar.
“Hahaha.”
I laughed in disbelief at the absurdity of the weapon.
“W-wait, how did you swing that thing!?”
Ignoring Eron’s panicked voice, I placed the weapon inside my bracelet.
Even though my muscles scread, I still wanted to use the weapon again.
[]
My smile died down as I looked around at the ss I had created.
Oops.
As my gaze moved around, I noticed another weapon that wasn’t affected by the chaos.
A broken sword of a normal size.
I began to walk towards it.
“The halberd is called Saron.”
Eron inford as he walked along with .
“It’s a weapon of an unidentified era and if our guess is right, then it was used to slay the second strongest dragon to ever exist.”
Even though he was rambling right beside , I didn’t give him much attention.
My eyes remained on the broken sword.
Eron turned silent before whispering, “It was owned by Ish… Isma—.”
“Hey.” I called, pointing at the sword. “What about it?”
He fixed his glasses, looking at the weapon. “This… we have no idea where it’s from.”
“What’s its specialty then?” I asked, looking at him.
“…None.” he replied, shaking his head. “So say it was here along with the first batch of weapons.”
I softly nodded before grabbing the weapon.
“Hmm?”
A current rushed through my body as I touched it.
The weapon… it felt familiar to touch.
I let out a sigh. “I will be taking this one.”
…..
After selecting the weapons, we were quickly called by the Raguel family head.
“You sure you don’t want one?” I asked, glancing at Elijah who walked beside .
“Nope, I’m fine.” he replied, shaking his head. “And unlike you, I don’t think I can even pick them up.”
I chuckled softly, ruffling his hair. “Well, I will gift you sothing special soon enough.”
He just smiled while Aimar gave us a weird look.
I frowned. “What?”
He shook his head. “Mind telling what those marks are on your neck?”
I started covering my neck. “Mosquito.”
“The fuck is that?” he asked, squinting his eyes in confusion.
“Long story short, they suck blood.” I replied, shrugging.
He frowned. “A Vampire?”
“No, dumbass.” I replied, glaring at him. “Stop slandering my fiancée.”
“I never said that—.”
“Fuck you.”
“…”
After silencing him, I looked forward as we reached the main teleportation hall.
Helena t us outside the building.
“What happened?” I asked as I felt her in a rush.
“The Dead God.” she said, her voice unnaturally serious. “They have found him.”
My expression turned serious as well as I began to walk inside faster.
“Where?” I asked, looking at her.
“Windward.” she replied hastily. “It’s… it’s an island close to Kandam but not quite part of it.”
“How many people are in danger?” I asked, the second most important question.
Her veiled face stared into mine. “Half a million.”
Caldus, the head of the Raguel family, was already at the place.
Hundreds of different teleportation portals were opened up in the place.
I quickly walked towards him.
“Himl.” he said, signing a few docunts. “Are you aware?”
“Yes.” I replied, looking around. “Where are the rest of them?”
“They aren’t prepared.” he replied, taking in a deep breath. “They need half an hour.”
I nodded quietly as I looked at the different portals. “Are they to evacuate the citizens?”
“Yes.” Raguel replied, nodding his head. “But we had only established one, the rest aren’t working for so reason.”
I stared at the one working portal that was evacuating the nobles.
Signing the last docunt, he passed it to .
“Here is everything you demanded except the Snow Dellet Flower. We need ti to take it out.”
I nodded as I was well aware of how delicate that thing is.
Placing the docunts in my bracelet, I looked at Elijah. “Lead the troops, I will be the scout.”
“Wait, what—?”
Ignoring him, I walked towards the portal and let it engulf entirely.
“Huh, who?”
I ignored the nobles in front of as I unfolded my wings and flew high in the sky.
The wind howled past as I reached a considerable height.
“What’s this sll?” I mumbled, crinkling my nose.
The whole island was giving off a bad sll.
I looked around the entire city that was in chaos.
Slowly, my gaze shifted far away as I felt sothing.
“….”
That’s when I saw it.
The giant mass of human flesh.
