Reincarnator – Chapter 165 : Fallen God (3)
“Hmm…”
Three choices had suddenly appeared in front of them from Karim’s proposition.
They could continue their path and go into the Green Road.
Follow Karim and take over the giant Satellite Fortress, the Atillan.
Follow Ekidu to help Hansoo and kill Dakidus.
Mackill muttered.
And the problem was that none of the three things was a guaranteed thing.
Same with helping Hansoo.
She didn’t know if taking over the Satellite Fortress, the Atillan, was possible by helping Karim.
Karim smiled after seeing the expressions of nearby people and then shook the item in his hands.
It was just a single book.
While everybody including Mackill were making confused expressions.
“Ekidu, do you know? As to how long I have been in this village?’
Ekidu made a confused expression.
Even when the previous village leader had left without a word, the captain of the guards had still been Karim.
If one looked at it, he was actually the true leader of the village from how long he had been in the village.
And the reason why the guards had been able to become so great was thanks to karim.
Being much stronger than the other guards was second, the reason that the Guards couldn’t go against Karim was because he had disciplined them for a very long time.
While Ekidu was making a forced smile.
“I’ve been here for quite a while. Do you know why I have been able to survive for so long?”
They had never actually thought about it.
‘There was a reason for it?’
There was no danger of being offered as an offering and they could stand at the top of the village due to their strength.
The occasional 1st level beasts were quite strong but staying here was a much better choice than going through the Green Road where swarms of those beasts existed.
Karim spoke towards the confused people.
Karim then raised something in his hands.
“This is all the intel I have gathered about the Arukons and the Higher Races.”
Karim smiled at those words.
Ekidu frowned at Karim’s words.
Karim shook his head.
“Mmm…”
There was a clear difference in reaction between preparing a blow and falling into despair after not having been able to figure out anything.
“Me holding onto it doesn’t really have that much meaning. It’s because it has been set to be given to one person who can be trusted and has a large influence. If I had perhaps left the village then this document would’ve been handed over to you Ekidu. Anyways, this isn’t the important part. My proposition is very simple… Let’s take over that Satellite Fortress.”
“We, control that?”
Everyone, including Ekidu, laughed.
Since they knew about its uses very well.
Would the Arukons just leave them be?
But what if they actually thought the humans posed a threat to them?
They’ll just bring the Satellite Fortress and wipe them out.
‘No way.’
Their main forces would pop out and destroy that Satellite Fortress.
Karim nodded as if he had read the people’s thoughts.
A treasure vault above their heads.
It was obvious which choice they would make.
The surroundings people’s eyes turned into one of greed.
Even Ekidu started to slowly walk towards Karim.
Booooom!
Handoo and Dakidus were ruthlessly clashing in the midst of the village.
The moment Hansoo dodged the attack and moved back after destroying the outer wall of the Armory.
Dakidus’s front claws smashed through the wooden walls and smashed down onto Hansoo.
‘It’s a bit awkward to dodge it.’
But Hansoo was fighting against the Dakidus up close.
Even just their body parts, the differences in their size were more than two times.
If he couldn’t get close then he wouldn’t even be able to attack.
The shining fur that had covered his body like a chained mail had long been smashed apart and the metallic dark skin had long been turned into a mess.
Sword, Spear, Axe, Scythe, Chains.
And his entire body was bleeding as well.
Since fighting up close meant that he had to get into the danger zone as well.
Hansoo couldn’t dodge Dakidus’s attack which slashed onto him and got hit by it.
The Forked Lightning curved as if it would break.
Dakidus’s strength was this great.
In conclusion, even the Forked Lightning was just a well made weapon without any mana.
‘That won’t do.’
Kaagagagagak!
The Thousand Soldier’s Armor lived up to its name of being a solo numbering and had withstood most of the attack but couldn’t completely block the force behind the attack.
Booooom!
Like a volleyball that had been hit by a powerful strike.
Dakidus slowly walked towards Hansoo who had smashed through six buildings and had smashed onto the ground with a leisurely expression.
With his own body.
As to why all the mana had frozen.
Why the Atillan, the Satellight Fortress, had stopped working and why the mana in his body, which had been flooding before, had completely frozen.
But he knew now.
It was impossible with just the strength of the humans.
Only the losers who had fallen beneath their feet.
Sealing Jade.
But that was the limit.
Of course it would all end if he died before that happened but Dakidus was happy.
Since he didn’t know if an unknown problem might’ve occurred, it was good to go back to the main base and resupply.
Crunch Crunch.
The ripped and smashed parts of the armor got mended a bit as the color darkened slightly.
‘…This was why my attacks weren’t working ever since before huh. I guess that works even without mana. Is it because it’s alive?’
But that guy had held on and was continuing to fight against him.
This was all because of that special armor.
‘Well. There’s not much time left for him anyway.’
“Anyways, why aren’t your friends coming to you with reinforcements? Heheh, it’s been quite a while since they should’ve gotten here.”
“Why are you so confident?”
If Ekidu came with the reinforcement then he would die no matter what.
He wondered a bit but it was clear after he had come this far.
Dakidus, who was holding back his words, was making fun of Hansoo clearly.
“Is it because there’s a Mudfish?*”
Dakidus stopped as he looked at Hansoo.
Hansoo chucked.
“Well. I don’t know the details but I know quite a bit about the person who made this village you see.”
Clementine.
‘A name that’s quite nostalgic.’
Since her nickname was much more famous than her name in his world.
A person who had led the humans into destruction.
‘Ekidu. You judge it. As to who the person the Mad Monarch had left behind is.’
But if the traces of the Mad Monarch existed then it would clearly appear.
‘And…This moment where the village has fallen is the best chance to erase that trace.’
‘Clementine. I will pull out all the roots of your remnants.’
“Huukk!”
The people freaked out as they looked at Karim and Ekidu.
Well, Ekidu had actually tried to smash Karim’s heart but it had failed because Karim had backed away after throwing away his right arm.
Ekidu mumbled as he looked at Karim.
But the movements Karim had shown her just before were completely different.
Karim didn’t fall into dismay despite having his arm cut off and just looked between his arm and Ekidu.
“How did you know?”
“How did you know?”
‘The village I have protected for so long…’
‘Damned bastards.’
Ekidu grinded her teeth.
Translator’s Note : To those who haven’t read the post notes. A few things were revealed in this chapter. 1. Clementine is actually the Light Monarch. 2. Light Monarch is a female.3. Ekdud mistranslated Light Monarch in the fast because Light and Mad could be spelt the same way and he didn’t have enough context so he is changing it now to Mad Monarch.
-Tl;Dr. Clementine = Light Monarch. Light Monarch -> Mad Monarch-
