I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 104

Armin Walter's current body is Marcello's father.

This is the first I've ever heard of it.

While Yun-jeong Han and I were frozen in shock, Marcello started talking in a plain tone.

Marcello's father was a certified hunter in the United Nations. Because of his job, he always roamed the world and would come home for a few weeks on vacation.

His father, returning home from vacation one day, was drunk and told a story.

He said he had arrested a serial murder suspect in England, who, while being held captive, smiled at himself and said:

'I found it, bowl.'

As he told this prisoner's story, his father was terrified. He said that those eerie eyes are hard to forget.

At the time, Marcello did not take the incident very seriously.

Time passed, and after vacation, my father returned to the scene and entered a high-level dungeon that had exploded in Africa.

Marcello and his family fervently prayed for his safe return.

Did his family's prayers reach him? Fortunately, my father survived the dungeon with a 20% survival rate and was able to return home.

Dad looked very tired. Talking casually about what happened in the disaster, he implicitly revealed his thoughts on retirement. And he wanted to see the world, and he asked Marcello to get him a plane ticket.

Marcello was able to get the fastest plane ticket for that day on the Internet.

On the last night before my father left, the two of us spent all night drinking and talking deep inside.

It was such a happy time. Marcello truly respected and loved her father.

As the day dawned, my father left, and a few days later, a group of certified hunters arrived.

'We will proceed with the investigation into the house found in the case of Armin Walter's jailbreak.'

'Yeah? jailbreak? But why come to my house... … '

'Your father is now the biggest suspect.'

Investigators told a shocking story. It is said that Armin Walter, who escaped prison by stealing the prisoner's body, entered the African dungeon, killed his father, and took his body and ran away.

When she heard the story, Marcello gave up.

Unless he's my father.

Did I laugh and chat like that with the enemy who killed my father and have a good drink?

Did you think that you had a crush on that killer and that you really respected him?

He didn't notice at all.

Not just Marcello, but none of his family, friends or colleagues.

'Wow, hey, hey!'

Marcello grabbed the toilet and vomited.

He was disgusted with himself. The whole body felt disgusting. With the momentum to pour out not only his food but also his organs, he thrust his fingers into his throat and vomited and vomited.

“It was then that I stopped trusting others.”

As he recalled the past, Marcello smiled softly.

“It left a strong traumatic experience. I always doubt other people. My family, friends, co-workers, whoever it is. I have to keep a mental distance and doubt everyone to be relieved. It is essential for establishing human relationships. Something is missing."

It was a bitter revenge that awakened Marcello, who had been living like a scoundrel for several months.

He did a thorough investigation of Armin Walter.

-Armin Walter uses a body transfer ability called Spirit Change.

-Armin Walter has to change his body regularly for some reason.

-Armin Walter doesn't change his body for everyone, there are some that fit and some that don't. And he calls the body he feels the greatest need for a 'vessel'.

-The greed for a vessel is enormous, and once a vessel is captured, it is inevitably found and obtained no matter where the object is in the world.

-After using the 'Spirit Change' ability, you can read some of the memories and thoughts remaining in the body.

After completing all investigations, Marcello entered the Vatican Cathedral with a desire for revenge.

They were also a force with a grudge against Walter for the death of his followers. Marcello broke numerous records there and became the youngest arch bishop of all time.

"I still don't trust you. Kim Yoo-shin Hunter. No, I don't trust anyone."

Hearing this, Han Yun-jeong made a puzzled expression.

"...if you don't believe us, why have you decided to join our plan?"

"I have doubts, because if I don't move, I can't achieve my goal. Miss Han. And above all, I have one more feeling for Hunter Kim Yoo-shin this time, besides doubt."

"what is that?"

Marcello, who had been fiddling with her cross, replied with a smile as usual.

"It's anticipation."

Chijik!

- Navigation complete. Found the safe zone of 7 captured monsters.

- I will prepare to descend to the corresponding zone.

About five hunters took up parachutes and jumped off the helicopter first to get rid of the rushing monsters. When safety was secured, 16 helicopters descended at once.

"Is this okay?"

Menes asked as he got off the helicopter.

Yoon-jeong, who watched her release her restraints and moved his arm, nodded her head.

"Yes. It doesn't matter where you go as long as you enter the dungeon."

"Okay. Then let's build a fort."

Menes slammed her golden wand to the floor.

Quarrrrrrrrrr!

Sand fell from the sky and started to build up a wall of sand one by one.

'It's great to see you again. This is the power of the gravekeeper.'

Egyptian cemetery keepers possess the 'Great Tomb', a relic of another world.

Hunters who are endowed with the power of the artifact will acquire a unique mana system.

This is called 'the power of sand', and when the hunters squeeze mana, it all turns into sand.

If you use mana outside, it becomes sand, so you lose most of the unique abilities that work with mana.

Instead, you will get a high-performance sand weapon that hardens and loosens at the will of the caster and is free to change shape. Gravekeepers all have the same abilities.

And 'Pharaoh', the owner of the Great Tomb, is the best user of this ability. Her power is not limited to the level of 'weapon'.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooers you me out!

For example, Menes created a wall around him in an instant with sand falling from the sky.

"I'll explain the instructions once again."

Marcello said looking around at everyone.

"We will protect Mr. Han Yun-jeong here and stop the attack of monsters. If anyone is approaching this fortress wall, attack them first. We have been recognized for our individual operations, so Korean hunters do not dare to come here. There is no reason to come. If there is, there must be one reason."

Everyone gulped their saliva. Meneth put her hand on her waist and continued her story.

"He'll make excuses as he approaches us! I'm here to help. Or I'm here to ask for support. I don't need them all! Shoot and kill all those approaching the fortress with a question-and-answer dance! I take responsibility!"

"Yes!"

Marcello looked at his watch and said.

"Please check the passphrase and security code once more. When you are ready, please put it into defense of the fortress wall."

"Everyone, go up the wall!"

The hunters climbed up the wall and prepared a defensive posture.

- Kyaaaaaaaah!

- Kerreuk!

The monsters of disaster began to rush in. I was also watching the scene beyond the wall with Daeva's eyes.

"Take out the bow!"

All the gravekeepers standing on the wall stretch out their left arms in front of them. Sand flows out of their grasp and hardens in the shape of a bow. The other hand holds the arrow.

"load!"

Gravekeepers put their bows on their strings.

Even the bowstring is made of sand, but it is pulled back as if it were elastic. At this time, the running monsters came within range.

"Shoot it!"

Sand arrows leave the demonstration and fly to the monsters. Arrows pierce the target's body, move in different directions as if alive, and pierce through monsters one after another.

"Reload!"

No need for a quiver. A new sand arrow is created and caught where the gravekeepers spread their hands. They are once again put on the bowstring with a skillful movement.

"launch!"

Each time the arrows fly, several lines of monsters are swept away. One arrow kills at least 7-8 monsters.

Even so, the number of enemies is too large.

"They climb the walls!"

Some of the gravekeepers stepped back and continued to shoot, while others withdrew their bows and made weapons and held them in their hands.

The sand armour also showed considerable versatility. The spear lengthened, the sword curved in an impossible trajectory, and the whip grabbed the monsters at will and dropped them.

"Breathe ahead!"

"Stop it!"

And the sand shield they carried was stretched and contracted elastically, and received a long-range bombardment that directly attacked the wall.

The ability of the gravekeepers, which is considered the highest in the form change series, was able to respond flexibly in any battlefield.

"In the name of God!"

"Don't back down!"

Of course, the Paladins of the Vatican were not formidable.

Like a world guild, they also have a 'temple of the void', a ruin of another world.

When you get the power of the temple, you cannot use normal mana, but instead generate white mana with a unique property, which people call 'divine power'.

The divine power has two faces. It has a healing effect on users of the same divine power, and destructive power on those who do not.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Paladins put their holy power on their bodies and weapons, and even if they were injured while fighting, they immediately recovered their wounds with holy power. In terms of retention and durability, it was superior to any other hunters of the same class.

Some of them even operated a bombardment device dedicated to divine power. A pure white flash of light was fired from the port, turning all monsters that touched it into powder. The firepower was also not pushed to the gravekeepers.

'It's a strange sight by the way.'

The Knights Templar and the Gravekeepers are fighting together. Of course, the areas in charge of the defense were different, but just facing the same enemy in one place was a very rare sight.

- This is the power of the World Guild. It is the Great Tomb and the Temple of Blank.

'How do you feel? Eh.'

Her small laugh echoed in her head.

- Compared to the horse tower, it is cute.

'… … haha.'

- If you look at the history of Erendel, there were records of the priests of the Holy Principality and the sandcasters of the western edge. However, they have always been pushed by magic towers and magical civilizations, and never once became mainstream.

After all, you should know about EA's magical prowess.

I turned my head and looked at Han Yun-jeong. She closed her eyes and focused. Dark purple magic flowed from her body.

“Jung-ah Yoon. Can you do it?”

She opened her eyes slightly, looked at me, and nodded her head.

She was a little afraid.

"I will continue to be here. If you think it's unreasonable, don't hold back and tell me."

"……Huh."

Consolidating her determination, she nodded her head.

"I'll start now."

Marcello and Menez took a pose while looking at Yunjeong Han.

If she fails, they will kill her as she promised.

Frankly, it's a gamble with a low probability.
